?The area around Xinye County is known as the Eight Rivers. The closest ones to the east and west are the Baihe River and the Jihe River. Therefore, the Qing army's attack can only be launched from the north and south. Shi Tingzhu also considered that attacking Xinye from the south would be equivalent to He bought his back to the Chinese army attacking Nanyang. Although Shi Tingzhu was full of confidence in taking Xinye, he did not dare to be so confident. Therefore, the Qing army's attack could only be launched from the south. "" And the Chinese army's defense line , which was also arranged in the direction of the Qing army's attack.
Of course Shi Tingzhu also knew that Nanyang was too close to Xinye. If the Chinese army returned reinforcements, it would take at most one day to reach Xinye. Therefore, the battle to attack Xinye must be fought quickly and cannot be delayed. So at the beginning, the Qing army moved Shenye The barracks were thrown into the battlefield. Bayan, the commander of the Shenba camp, was also confident and hoped to win the Battle of Zhangqiu in Nanyang.
But the progress of the battle was not as Shi Tingzhu and Bayan imagined. At first, the Qing army also imitated the Chinese army and used artillery to blast the Chinese army's position. However, the Chinese army's position had only more than 40 cannons. Artillery, and they were all small and medium-sized artillery, so they simply hid in the trenches and allowed themselves to be bombarded by the Qing army's artillery. Therefore, the sound of artillery roared for a while, and the ground almost shook. All kinds of artillery shells fell on the Chinese army's position. superior.
Although the Qing army's shelling did not cause much damage to the Chinese army, at least on the surface, the Qing army almost completely suppressed the Chinese army, leaving the Chinese army with almost no ability to fight back. Therefore, in the Qing army formation, cheers The sound continued one after another, and Shi Tingzhu and Bayan were also very satisfied with the effect of the bombardment.
After a period of bombardment, Bayan immediately ordered and dispatched three thousand soldiers from the Shenbing Camp to launch a ground attack on the Chinese army's position.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Chinese Army also got up from the trenches one after another, set up muskets on the sand armor beside the trenches, and fired fiercely at the Qing Army. One wave after another, bullets were fired at the Qing Army. At the same time, the Chinese army's artillery also loaded and fired, bombarding the Qing army, and all the artillery used were shotgun. Although the range was not far, one shot could sweep across a large area, so the Qing army's soldiers They were also beaten until they fell down one after another.
Although the Qing soldiers charged with muskets, to be honest, the Qing soldiers really didn't know how to use muskets in the attack. Although the new Qing army had also trained offensive tactics, the muskets of this era were really not suitable. Charge, and the instructor who taught the Qing army this set of tactics did have a limited understanding of offensive tactics. In addition, the Qing army had great deficiencies in weapons and experience, so the Qing army's attack was very unsatisfactory.
After being attacked by the Chinese army, many Qing soldiers also stopped and fired. However, the Qing army launched an attack on the Chinese army's position in a scattered formation. Not to mention three consecutive shots, There was not even a volley of volleys, it was just a random firing of guns, and at this time most of the muskets had not entered the range at all, so it could hardly cause any blow to the Chinese army.
After firing, some soldiers continued to charge forward with empty guns, while others stopped to reload the ammunition. However, the Qing army used all muzzle-loading guns, and most of them were matchlock guns, which were very difficult to reload. Trouble, not only do you have to reload the ammunition, but you also have to pull the rope to start the fire. If you were in your own position, it would be fine, but now you are on the way to charge, so you have free time to reload the ammunition calmly. , as a result, many Qing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground while reloading ammunition. At the same time, the overall attack speed of the Qing army slowed down.
Bayan was so anxious that he stamped his feet in the formation, pointed at the battlefield, jumped and shouted: "Charge! Charge quickly! Don't stop to reload, charge over first."
In fact, reloading is not allowed during the attack. This principle has been repeatedly emphasized by the instructors during daily training. However, the soldiers of the Shenbing Battalion also went into battle for the first time after their formation. When their minds got hot, they forgot everything and started.
After finishing the gun, many people instinctively reload the gun and shoot the second round.
The Chinese army took their time in the trenches. They used front-loaded rifles to shoot in three stages, and the soldiers with breech-loaded guns fired freely. The rounds of ammunition were fired one after another, and they continuously fired at the approaching clearing troops.
The soldiers shot past.
A total of two companies of soldiers in the 17th Regiment were equipped with breech-loading guns. At this time, one company participated in the battle. Therefore, although there were only two battalions guarding the position here, the actual firepower was not lower than that of the three battalions. The result was clear.
The attacking soldiers of the Qing army were beaten down in rows. After persisting for about half an hour, they finally gave up the attack and retreated. In this attack, the number of Qing soldiers killed reached four.
More than 100 people were injured, and another 300 people were injured.
This result was obviously far beyond the expectations of Shi Tingzhu and Bayan, because in their imagination, after the Qing army launched an attack, it should be like a ravage, tearing apart the Chinese army's position quickly. No matter how bad it was, it should be possible.
Attacked the Chinese army's position, and
The Chinese army launched a hand-to-hand battle, so that the Qing army's follow-up troops would continue to catch up with reinforcements and use their advantage of large numbers to defeat the Chinese army from their positions. However, they did not expect that the Qing army had not yet attacked the Chinese army's positions.
Before that, he was pushed back.
Zhou Han, who was lying in the position and watching, laughed loudly and said: "Damn Tatar, now you know how powerful this old bastard is. Why did he retreat so quickly without a fight? Come back and attack again."
Bayan was still a little unwilling, and immediately mobilized another two thousand Qing troops from the Shenba camp and launched another attack on the Chinese army's position. He also repeatedly warned the soldiers to attack with all their strength first and not to shoot in the middle, let alone in the middle.
Reload.
Sure enough, the Qing army's attack this time was much faster than the last time, but the Chinese army doesn't care whether you are fast or slow. As long as you attack, you still shoot at your own pace. However, the speed of the Qing army has indeed improved significantly.
However, when the Qing army rushed within forty steps, the various repeating guns of the Chinese army also began to fire, and the firepower was also fierce.
However, it more than doubled, and a large number of grenades were thrown at the same time. The Qing army did not expect that at this time, the Chinese army's firepower would explode. As a result, rows and rows fell under the guns of the Chinese army.
, and the soldiers in the rear row almost fell directly on the corpses of the soldiers in the front row. No matter how hard the Qing army charged, they could not advance within 20 steps of the Chinese army's position.
After holding on for more than ten minutes, the Qing army finally couldn't stand it anymore and retreated. This time, the number of people killed in the battle was close to 600.
After two consecutive charges, the Qing army failed to break into the Chinese army's position. Shi Tingzhu and Bayan's confidence began to waver. However, when the battle reached a certain stage, the two had no other choice but to capture Xinye.
Otherwise, Nanyang will fall and Shi Tingzhu will fall off.
He could not bear the responsibility of not rescuing people in danger. Bayan planned to send troops to attack again, but was stopped by Shi Tingzhu, saying: "Commander Ba, the Gangli Shenbing Battalion has attacked twice in a row, but they have not penetrated the Chinese army's position.
, I think we’ll let the cavalry attack this time, let’s give it a try.”
Bayan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. From the two attacks just now, he could see that when they attacked, the soldiers in the Shenbing Camp were unable to use their muskets at all. In fact, they used their muskets as long guns.
Spear user, since this is the case, then it is better to send other
Forget about the army going to war, after all, it is not easy to train a divine army battalion. At the same time, I am also very puzzled as to why Shandong’s Shenwei Battalion can perform well in battle, but the divine army battalion that I led cannot.
What? The training methods of these two new armies are the same.
Just when Bayan was puzzled, Shi Tingzhu had already mobilized 700 cavalry to launch an attack on the Chinese army's position. Although the Qing court was good at cavalry and archery, the cavalrymen were basically from the Eight Banners. Among the Han army
There are not many cavalry. Among the people Shi Tingzhu brought this time, there were only 2,000 cavalry in total. This time, one third was used at once.
Although there are only 700 cavalry, the momentum created when galloping together is still very scary. Although the Chinese army is still unmoved, it is impossible to say that they are not nervous, because the cavalry sprints at full speed much faster than the infantry.
The distance of about one step, which is about twenty seconds, is enough for the Chinese army to fire four or five rounds at most. If the position was not too small and the troops could not be expanded, Shi Tingzhu would have used all two thousand cavalry.
But after all, most of the soldiers of the Chinese Army have been tempered on the battlefield. Although they were nervous, their shooting and reloading movements were not distracted at all, and even their speed almost did not change. But at this time, there was no need to do anything.
Retained, from the beginning of the cavalry assault, all front-loading guns, breech-loading guns, and repeating guns opened fire with full force, focusing on
The Qing army was shooting. Even if the range of the repeating gun was not enough, it was not taken into account. Even if it could not penetrate the body, it would still hurt if it hit the body. Moreover, the cavalry was fast and would soon run into their own shooting range. At the same time, Zhou Han
Fu also moved another battalion in reserve to the position, just behind the trench, and fired to strengthen the Chinese army's strike firepower.
For a time, the entire battle was covered by dense gunfire. The projectiles fired from various gun muzzles were shot towards the Qing army like beans, forming a dense firepower net in front of the Chinese army's position.
Not only did they harvest the lives of the soldiers and horses of the Qing army, but they also used grenades to explode them after the Qing army approached.
The cavalry of the Qing army were like moths flying into the flames, almost in succession, constantly charging towards the Chinese army's position. After the cavalry in the front row fell, the cavalry in the rear row almost did not hesitate to step back.
The body of his companion, who was injured but not dead, continued to rush forward until he also fell. The intensive gunfire also covered up the screams of the soldiers and the whine of the war horses.
