Chapter 679 Capturing Dorgon alive(1/2)
"Protect the master..."
Not to mention, these slaves were really loyal to their master. When the Ming army suddenly launched an artillery bombardment, they immediately gathered around Dorgon and used their bodies to resist the shotgun bombardment...
Under the continuous bombardment of shotguns, blood mist filled the front of the formation, and the charging Jiannu fell down one by one...
In the Battle of Daling River, Dorgon was not worried about being unable to break through because of the presence of two yellow flags.
But after a bloody battle with Guan Ning's army, he was ambushed again by the Ming army. Dorgon felt bad, as if he was surrounded by the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially when he saw that the people blocking them were the Ming National Guard Army, Dorgon felt a threat of death because he had just been defeated by Sun Yingyuan some time ago.
Seeing the elite men under his command falling one by one, Dorgon immediately shouted an order in order to break out quickly:
"In order to avoid being double-teamed by the Ming army, pass on my order to spread out the attack formation, and break through the encirclement quickly at all costs..."
Some of the Jiannu who had been seriously injured in the bloody battle with Guan Ning's army had fallen behind, and only about 6,000 people actually followed him here.
It can be said that the Jiannu who can accompany Dorgon until now are definitely the elites of Zhengbai Banner. Among them, the few hundred remaining Mongolian soldiers are also the most elite ones in the Mongolian army.
As elites of the Jiannu and Mongolian armies, they all knew how to break through without Dorgon's orders.
After receiving Dorgon's order, under the leadership of their respective Niulu Zhangjing, they changed from a dense charging formation to a loose formation, and quickly charged towards the formations of the Tiger Army and the Longteng Army.
"Rumble..."
Jian Nu entered the formation more than 300 steps before he started bombarding with shotguns. When Jian Nu quickly entered the formation about 200 steps in front, the artillery fired again.
"Puff puff……"
In the second round of shelling, the artillery shells almost wiped out all the JINU who were rushing directly ahead, but the two JINU that were approaching quickly were not bombarded by the artillery.
It can be said that Dorgon's order played a great role in at least preventing the casualties of nearly a thousand Jiannu...
Jiannu had already approached 200 steps. At this time, it was too late to bombard the artillery shells. Yan Xiongying and He Bao immediately ordered the musket array to prepare:
"Musket formation, prepare to shoot!"
The two musket formations also had three rows of volleys. Each row had a thousand musketeers. Six thousand musketeers faced each other. At this time, there were only more than 3,000 Jiannu cavalry left. It was too difficult for Dorgon to break through.
big.
"One hundred and fifty steps!"
"First row, shoot!"
Yan Xiongying and He Bao gave the order to fire almost at the same time, and the two thousand musketeers in the first row of the two musket formations all pulled the triggers.
Two thousand mini bullets shot out. The Jiannu who had just escaped the bombardment were unable to avoid the rifle fire this time. The mini bullets penetrated their armor easily, leaving bloody holes on their bodies.
Balls of blood arrows splashed...
After a round of volleys, the Jiannu who rushed in front were shot and fell off their horses. Of course, many war horses were shot and fell, throwing the Jiannu on the horse far away...
But the Jiannu behind did not flinch at all. They clung to the horse's back and rushed forward quickly. To be precise, they had no way to retreat and the only way forward...
"Second row, shoot!"
"Bang bang bang..."
…
Both the Longteng Army and the Huben Army were well-trained elite soldiers. They reloaded ammunition very quickly. The Jiannu cavalry charged fiercely and fired volleys of muskets very quickly.
Almost at the same time, the snipers of the Longteng Army and the Huben Army joined in hunting down the Jiannu leaders. During the Jiannu charge, as long as an officer made a commanding move, they would immediately become the targets of the snipers.
"puff……"
As soon as Zhang Jing, a man with a white flag, raised his hand, a mini-bomb hit his head, blowing his head open...
The brave and invincible white-armored soldiers of Jiannu were like weak chickens in front of the Ming army's guns. No matter how fierce they usually were, as long as they were hit by mini bullets, they would be killed immediately.
When Baya Lajia Lazhangjing saw his companions fall one after another, he felt a sense of sadness. You must know that these white-armored soldiers who were easily killed could easily defeat dozens of Ming troops.
Really unable to bear this oppressive way of dying, he suddenly sat up from his horse, pointed the sword in his hand at the Tiger Army formation and cursed:
"Ming Gou, if you have the guts, don't use firearms...
"boom……"
Before he finished speaking, two bullets suddenly hit his chest. What blocked him this time was not a rifled gun, but a newly equipped rifle. The huge inertia directly lifted him off his horse...
As the musketeers and snipers hunted, the charging Jiannu suffered more and more casualties. Just as they rushed about a hundred steps in front of the Ming army's formation, at least a thousand Jiannu were shot and killed.
In addition to the Jiannu who were killed by artillery shells, more than half of the Jiannu casualties were lost at this time, but they still could not touch the Ming army's formation, and Dorgon's face became increasingly ugly...
They were killed one after another in places where they could not reach the Ming army. This feeling of being unable to use their power made Jiannu, who was good at fighting tough battles, very aggrieved. They once again realized the obvious difference between fighting the Guan Ning Army and the National Guard Army...
Zhengbai Banner Jiala Ezhendoni hurriedly said to Prince Rui beside him:
"Master, is it okay to charge like this? When the slaves rush to the front of the Ming army, they may be wiped out..."
Dorgon sighed softly. There was nothing he could do about it. If there was a good way, he would certainly not die like a moth to a flame.
"The National Protectorate Army will be chasing us soon. We have no way to retreat. Let's rush forward. Every one of us who can break through the encirclement counts. There is only one way to break through..."
If the infantry charged like this, no one would be able to rush to the front of the Ming army, but the cavalry is cavalry after all, so don't underestimate the speed of the cavalry.
They lay tightly on their horses and charged, and despite the volley of musketry, the cavalry were finally able to rush to the front of the phalanx of muskets without being able to knock down all the horses.
Under the fierce rush at all costs, within about a stick of incense, the Jiannu forwards finally rushed about thirty steps in front of the fire cannon array.
At this distance, the cavalry could rush to the front of the formation in an instant. A volley of muskets could no longer prevent the cavalry from breaking the formation. Dorgon finally saw hope of breaking through.
"Throw a grenade..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Dorgon just breathed a sigh of relief when the Ming army suddenly threw hundreds of grenades in front of the formation...
"Rumble..."
As hundreds of grenades exploded, blood and flesh flew everywhere on the scene. Jiannu, his men and horses, who had just rushed about thirty steps in front of the formation, were blown away...
The explosion of hundreds of grenades immediately caused a rain of blood over Jiannu's charging cavalry. Many broken limbs and internal organs fell from the sky, including Jiannu's and war horses...
"shot……"
Just as the loud bang of the grenade exploded, the Ming army's artillery array fired another volley, knocking the Jiannu men and horses who had just rushed up to the ground...
This time Jiannu was completely frightened. Even the war horses did not dare to run forward. They raised their front hooves high and kept neighing...
There was no other way, Dorgon could only send an order to suspend the charge, and when he retreated a hundred steps away, only about a thousand of the six thousand Jiannu were left.
Looking around at these Zhengbaiqi elites who had followed him for many years, Dorgon suddenly felt sad. He knew that it was impossible to break through today.
"Go back, abandon your horses and take off your armor before going to the hillside ahead, and let everyone escape!"
Dorgon gave up. He was planning to disband these subordinates. No matter how many he could escape, no one could escape if they all followed him...
Before Dorgon finished speaking, he was immediately rejected by his bodyguard commander:
"A slave cannot leave his master behind, he must go together..."
Just when Dorgon was about to scold his own bodyguards, there was a sudden sound of capturing Dorgon alive from behind. He was so nervous that he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves, which made the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly.
"Capture Dorgon alive..."
"Da da da……"
Dorgon's expression changed drastically again, and he shouted hurriedly:
"No, the Ming cavalry is chasing us. Disperse immediately. This is an order!"
But it was too late. The tiger and leopard cavalry who were chasing after them were less than 500 steps away from them. The Ming army's gun array also began to move forward. As they moved forward, they shouted:
"Kill the Jiannu and regain Liaodong..."
Dorgon really didn't want to fight against the musket formation now. He was killed without being able to encounter the Ming army, leaving them no chance to fight.
"Since you can't get away, then fight the Ming dogs as hard as you can. Kill one to earn enough money. Kill two to earn one. Qing warriors, charge to the Ming cavalry!"
Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more. Dorgon is considered a ruthless man and directly orders the remaining thousand men under his command to charge back and kill the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
"kill……"
Nearly a thousand Jiannu Zhengbai Banner cavalry, led by Dorgon himself, did not hesitate to charge back and kill the pursuing Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
They no longer had the luxury of breaking out of the encirclement, they simply wanted to die together with the Ming army.
But would Cao Bianjiao give Jiannu a chance? Of course not. When he was about five hundred steps away from Jiannu, Cao Bianjiao ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to charge in formation.
A row of 1,000 heavily armored cavalry and 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry formed ten rows, charging directly towards Jiannu Zhengbai Banner.
Jiannu also urged his war horse wildly and quickly charged towards the tiger and leopard cavalry. However, when he was still about a hundred steps away from the tiger and leopard cavalry, Jiannu realized that something was wrong.
The tiger and leopard cavalry rushing in front were crushing them in rows. The first and second rows of cavalry raised their muskets against them. It seemed that as long as they entered the shooting range, the Ming army cavalry would also shoot and kill them.
"Damn it, will the Ming army die if they don't use firearms?"
Seeing that the Ming cavalry actually had muskets in their hands, Dorgon was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Now he is annoyed when he sees the muskets...
"kill……"
"Da da da……"
