The Chinese armies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were in close combat. What was in front of Obai was a city, a city composed of countless sidecars. There were rings between the cars. Put down the wooden stakes and buckle the rings. That's it.
The city has passages for soldiers to enter and exit, and Juma is placed. Inside the city, there are also twenty forts made of double carriages.
"Fire the artillery," Jiang Bin, the commander-in-chief of the vehicle and artillery battalion, yelled. He shouted loudly, but now his voice is too low, so the soldiers can't hear him. He was originally a deputy general. After Zhao Yong died in Jinan, he was promoted to commander-in-chief by Zhu Hengjia.
.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
More than two hundred artillery pieces began to fire, and the bullets rained down like a flood, causing the soldiers to fall off their backs.
"Oh my god, the Ming army actually has so many cannons. I might lose my life." Zhang Hongmo, the Qinghejian deputy general, said with a bitter face. His 7,000 Hejian Green Camp was placed at the forefront by Obai.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
Ao Bai's Chinese army beat the marching drum, and in Zhang Hongmo's opinion, the sound of the drum was simply a reminder. The louder the drum beat, the bitterer his face became.
The Qing army approached, and the Ming army's gunmen hid in the shooting holes of the carriages and fired. There were more than 6,000 gunmen on each side of the carriage city, and a single salvo fired thousands of bullets.
They used cannons from far away and blunderbuss from close range to mow down the Qing troops in large numbers. Occasionally, brave people broke into the city and were killed by Ming sabers and shield-men.
The casualties were too great, and Beizhili Green Camp had a bad reputation for being timid.
"Oh my god!"
I don't know who shouted, and the Qing army turned around and ran away. Zhang Hongmo couldn't restrain himself, so he simply ran back with his subordinates.
"The general is incompetent, so please punish him." Once he was defeated, Zhang Hongmo immediately asked Ao Bai for punishment.
Obai sneered, "Why did you retreat when you didn't hear the sound of the drum?"
Zhang Hongmo was so frightened that he sweated, "The weapons of the Ming army are too sharp, and the general will not be able to restrain his subordinates."
"Retreating without orders is a capital crime. Military law is ruthless, and I can't protect you. Drag me out and kill you," Obai shouted.
"Commander, have mercy on me~Commander, have mercy on me~Commander~"
Zhang Hongmo desperately begged for mercy, but after a moment, a bloody head was offered to him.
All the generals were horrified.
"Order Li Sizhong, the real person in Gushan'e, to lead the artillery to suppress the Ming army's artillery."
"嗻!"
"Order Yi Yonggui, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and Lu Guonan, the commander-in-chief of Baoding, to attack for the second formation."
"嗻!"
"Let Melezhang Jingzu Zehong form the third formation and prepare to attack."
"嗻!"
"Let Jia La Zhang Jing Ni Kan and Saha Company accompany the Chinese army to prepare for battle."
"嗻!"
With a chop on his bloody head, Obai's military orders were carried out smoothly. Even the Green Camp of Beizhili, which was famous for its timidity, became brave.
Li Sizhong set up his cannon and fired at the Ming army. The Eight Banners archers also fired at the Ming army. Under the cover of cannons and bows and arrows, the Ming army's Shanhaiguan general Yi Yonggui and Baoding general Lu Guonan led nearly 20,000 soldiers from the north.
Li Lvying stormed Checheng. He actually opened several gaps and rushed into the city several times.
On the high platform built in the city, Zhu Hengjia put down his telescope, his face fell and he shouted: "Order the Kingdom's Seal Department to attack."
There are 3,000 heavy armored infantry in the Kingdom's Seal Department, all of them holding heavy troops and wearing three layers of armor. They were originally designed to deal with the cavalry that broke into the formation. Now that the situation was critical, Zhu Hengjia had no choice but to send out this elite group.
As soon as the three thousand heavy armor came out, the battle situation was immediately stabilized. Unless they were hit with heavy weapons, or stabbed in the face, throat and other weakly protected vital parts, it was extremely difficult for ordinary infantry to deal with heavy armor. The Qing troops who broke into the formation were again
Kicked out.
Ao Bai ordered Yi Yonggui to go south to rest, and replaced Meilezhang Jingzu Zehong's troops to attack the city.
Zhu Hengjia also ordered the Guoxi Department to rest and let Li Yuanyin and Bai Wenxuan take over.
The central battlefield fell into a stalemate.
On the high platform, Liu Maoxia asked: "Your Majesty, the left wing has been defeated. Should we send troops to rescue?"
Seeing that Hao Yongzhong's flag on the left wing had fallen, Zhu Hengjia couldn't help but his face sank, "Hao Yongzhong is waving the flag in danger! But if it is a rescue, he is afraid that the defeated troops will disrupt the Chinese army."
"Your Majesty, Xingguo Marquis Li Laiheng has always dared to fight, so he can be ordered to rescue the left wing," Zheng Feng said.
Zhu Hengjia nodded slowly and ordered Li Laiheng to lead three thousand troops to support the left wing.
Zheng Feng also admonished: "Your Majesty, Boye is all plains, and the terrain is not good for me. It is better to retreat to Qizhou and rely on the strong city to stalemate with the enemy. When their food is exhausted, we will win."
Zhu Hengjia sighed, "I am too impatient for this battle. But if we retreat at this time, the morale of the army will be chaotic. We can only wait until dark before withdrawing."
??
Li Laiheng was a fierce general of the former Dashun Army, nicknamed "Little Tiger". He fought very fiercely. Although he only had three thousand troops, he was unstoppable.
When he led his army to rescue the left wing, Xintai Marquis Hao Shangjiu had reached the most dangerous moment. Hao Shangjiu and Ye Shuke tightly surrounded him.
Li Laiheng was a good man, leaping on a horse and holding a gun, and there was no enemy among his men. The Qing general Ye Lu tried to block his way, but he stabbed him under the horse with a spear.
He rushed into the formation, found Hao Shangjiu, and asked, "Where is the Marquis of Nan'an?"
Hao Shangjiu's eyes turned red, "He died in the battle!"
Li Laiheng and Hao Yongzhong both came from the Dashun Army and had deep feelings for each other. However, they had no time to grieve at this time and shouted: "The Marquis of Xintai retreats quickly, I will stop the rear."
He covered the defeated army on the left wing and retreated to the center.
After Hao Shangjiu, Ye Shuke and Ao Bai's troops joined forces, they stormed the Ming army's center. Zhu Hengjia gritted his teeth and hid in Checheng, only defending but not attacking, hoping for dark so he could escape.
Seeing that he could not attack for a long time, Ye Shuke suggested to Obai, "Commander, why don't you attack the right wing of the Ming army first, and then concentrate your forces to surround the Ming army?"
Ao Bai smiled and said, "You and I want to go together. So you will lead the headquarters and the North Zhili Green Camp to reinforce Bahana. Tell Bahana to defeat the right wing of the Ming army as soon as possible."
??
Ye Shuke led Yi Yonggui and more than 20,000 Qing troops from the southern tribes of Lu to the right wing.
The pressure on the Ma Bao Division of the Ming Army suddenly increased greatly. The Qing Army attacked the formation from all sides, killing one group after another. His deputy general Li Gui and his general Jiao Hongcao were killed in battle.
Seeing that Ma Bao was in danger, Zhu Hengjia wanted to save him but could not. Ao Bai was leading his army to attack him. If he went out of the city to rescue him, the Qing army might take advantage of it.
The hands are clenched tightly, the heart is bleeding, and the right wing is in danger.
War is always full of uncertainty. Just when Ma Bao's tribe was in crisis, there was a sudden noise and a Ming army came towards the rear of the Qing army's right wing.
"What's going on? The Ming army still has an ambush on the right wing?"
Lu Guonan, the commander-in-chief of Baoding behind the Qing right-wing formation, was shocked and hurriedly ordered his men to resist.
A young general in his twenties led his army and rushed towards him. He was so fast that he rushed to the south of Lu State before he could form a formation.
Lu Guonan's sword was knocked open with a "bang", and he was killed with another sword.
"Da da da!"
There were not many soldiers and horses coming to help, only a few thousand, but they were all cavalry. After killing the southern part of Lu, they rushed into other Qing troops and turned the Qing army into a pot of porridge.
Ma Bao was overjoyed and led his army out of the formation. Bahana and Ye Shuke saw that the army's formation was in chaos, so they had to suspend their offensive and reorganize their formation.
Ma Bao introduced the reinforcements into the formation, and they turned out to be an acquaintance, Wu Yingqi, the son of Wu Sangui. Back then, Li Zicheng was defeated in a stone battle, and Ma Bao was captured by Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui treated him very well and had some friendship.
"Why does Wu Xiandi appear here?" Ma Bao asked in surprise.
