Chapter 428 The Koreans made the Qing Dynasty silent
Zhangtai saluted the old Tatar Yue Le, and then gathered the Eight Banners cavalry. In this era, nearly ten thousand Eight Banners cavalry were a combat force that should not be underestimated. Even the Ming Dynasty paid most attention to the Qing army's cavalry.
Before there were machine guns, infantry still had to be extremely careful with cavalry.
There are nearly ten thousand heavy cavalrymen of the Eight Banners. They are wearing cotton armor and holding spears and sabers in their hands.
They were thieves and didn't choose to charge from the beginning.
Instead, under the representative of Zhangtai, they began to carry out repeated movements around the Ming army's camp. They would move to the left side and rear of the Ming army, waiting for opportunities to attack the possible weaknesses of the Ming army.
When the Qing army was cavalry, Yue Le also saw such a scene. He ordered the new Eight Banners army to prepare, so as to coordinate the attack and divert the attention of the Ming army.
Therefore, on the surface, it seems that the Ming army and the Qing army are only fighting in Zhangjiawan, but the war in Zhangjiawan is always related to the overall battle situation of both sides. Once something is done, it will be an overall attack or
Retreat.
Just when the Qing army made a move, this scene could not be hidden from Pan Aqiang's eyes. Ming Dynasty naturally had a plan to deal with the Qing army's cavalry.
After a burst of orders came out, the Ming army on the battlefield began to gather, and from Zhangjiawan to Bali Bridge, they began to gather their formations.
Naturally, the adjustment and formation formation of both sides cannot be completed in an instant. It takes a long time to adjust. Therefore, while the two sides were adjusting, the Eight Banners New Army in the direction of Zhangjiawan suffered a lot.
After firing several rounds of volleys, the Korean soldiers almost cut off a large piece of flesh from the Eight Banners New Army. They were beaten dizzy by the rain-like projectiles, causing a large number of casualties.
The firing speed also became slower, and the casualty ratio on both sides began to increase dramatically.
"Don't panic, don't shake your hands. The more you panic, the faster you will die!"
Seeing the Goryeo soldiers beginning to approach little by little, the Qing army's counselors and assistant leaders began to panic. They shouted and cursed the panicked Eight Banners recruits.
Fuquan took all the new Eight Banners troops who had fought in Siberia and Junggar to guard their homes in the capital.
The recruits given to Yue Le were basically new soldiers. Due to too little bloodshed and actual combat, their previous training almost began to fail on the battlefield. Many of them were confused and no longer knew what they should do.
"Sixty Steps"
"Fifty Steps"
When the distance shortened, the Qing army finally fired a round of gunfire. Unfortunately, too many people were too nervous and many people forgot to take off the prods, resulting in a large number of what they thought were projectiles.
The stick was launched and hit the Korean soldier.
Seeing such a scene, the Korean soldiers were overjoyed. Victory was right in front of them. If they won, they would be naturalized!
They knew that the mentality of the Qing army had gradually collapsed, so they decisively began to press forward without any worries about the muskets of the Eight Banners New Army.
"Xiba, brothers, keep rushing forward, the Ming Dynasty household registration is right in front of you!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty Hukou!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty Hukou!"
The Korean soldiers were very excited.
Forty steps!
Thirty steps!
When there were only thirty steps left, the Goryeo soldiers finally stopped. They all stabilized the flintlock guns in their hands, and then pulled the trigger!
Only a violent sound was heard, and a black smoke filled the air. The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke finally became a symbol of the death of the Tatar Army.
Within a distance of thirty steps, the thousands of projectiles fired penetrated into the bodies of the Qing army at an unparalleled speed, exploding countless blood sprays. Almost a whole row of Qing troops collapsed.
On the ground, it is conservatively estimated that the number of casualties from a row of guns exceeded 1,500!
After such a round of attacks, the Qing army's defense force in Zhangjiawan fell into complete collapse. It has almost become an inevitable fact that Zhangjiawan was captured by the Ming Dynasty!
Finally, the Qing Dynasty Army saw clearly the appearance of the enemy in front of them. Judging from the style of their armor, they seemed to look a bit like Koreans, and some looked like Japanese people.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty Army completely collapsed. It turned out that after fighting for a long time, they did not even touch the shadow of the Ming Dynasty regular army. The servant army defeated them and abandoned their armor.
Prince An Yue Le saw the scene of the collapse of the new army. He also saw clearly the enemies in front, and almost everyone fell into silence.
Yue Le didn't remember that the Koreans were so strong. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty was really invincible and that the Koreans they had trained were so fierce?
The comparison between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty is almost as simple as an adult using various means to educate a child.
If Kangxi saw the collapse of the New Army, he would definitely realize that the hard work of the past three years was nothing but an illusion, which would often be shattered in the face of reality.
"Don't be afraid, don't run! You can't run!"
All kinds of shouts merged together, and the officers of the Qing army hoped that the new army could calm down in time.
"The Qing Dynasty depends on us, we can't run away anymore!"
Su Hetai, the leader of Xianglan Banner, had a murderous look on his face. He pulled out his sword and killed several defeated soldiers before stopping the defeat of others.
The remaining Qing soldiers also rejoined the queue tremblingly. Although they were still scared, they also knew that they had no way out.
Compared with the chaos of the Qing army, the Ming army was like a precision-operated machine. Even though the Koreans lined up to shoot and suffered heavy losses, they were not at all confused. Their expressions were solemn, even if some people were hit by Qing artillery from time to time.
Others will come on as substitutes later to re-form a complete formation.
"Siba, fire!"
A neat line of white smoke erupted from the muzzle of the Koreans' guns, and fine lead bullets swept across the Qing army's formation like a rain curtain.
Large numbers of Qing infantry were hit and fell to the ground helplessly. Their eyes were looking at the sky in the distance, their body strength gradually drained away, and they were plunged into darkness forever.
Su Hetai, the leader of the Xianglan Banner, was one of those killed in battle.
His chest was completely dyed red with blood, and his strength quickly drained away. At the moment before his death, he thought of a lot, whether the Qing Dynasty was about to die, and also thought of his Ama and his mother-in-law.
There are also those relatives and friends who have died in the battlefields of Hunan and Jiangnan.
"If the New Army cannot win, it depends on the Eight Banners Cavalry!"
The cavalry led by Aisin Gioro Changtai finally moved to the flank of the Ming army. However, the formations of both sides had changed greatly compared to before the war. A large number of infantrymen raised their bayonets in their direction, and several more
Qian Daming's cavalry were also watching from the flanks.
