Chapter 292: Slaying the Prince
For a moment, people screamed and horses neighed, the flesh was pierced by ruthless projectiles, the muscle tissue was torn apart by force, the bones were smashed to pieces, and all the screams and screams burst out.
The entire battlefield was covered in a large amount of smoke in an instant.
The smoke on the battlefield was quickly blown away by the strong wind. Within a few dozen steps in front of the Tianwu Army trenches, almost all were covered by the corpses of men and horses. Even if there were some gaps, they were still full of blood.
There were also many injured Qing soldiers or horses lying in the pile of blood and corpses, screaming and struggling repeatedly.
Of the seven thousand cavalry, there were only less than a thousand left in the blink of an eye. It was because they all fell at the back of the team that they were spared. But at this time, they were also stunned by what happened in front of them, and they even forgot to continue.
He charged, but just stood there in a daze, wondering if he was dreaming.
The main figures in the Qing army, such as Duduo and Adali, were already dumbfounded. Everyone felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts. The firepower of the Tianwu Army was completely beyond their comprehension.
Duduo suddenly realized that with the existence of the Tianwu Army in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's entry into the country would probably become a nightmare, and the plan to seize the Central Plains and seize the world would be over. At this time, he wanted to rush out and tell his brother Dorgon,
Return to the outside of the pass quickly and keep the Zhengbai flag.
Seeing that the Qing army was stunned, Zhu Cixi immediately ordered: "All the cavalry came in, harvested the heads, and all the infantry followed the cavalry, launched a general attack on the Qing army, and completely defeated the Qing army in one fell swoop."
After several rounds of shelling, the artillery needs to stop for a period of time to cool down, and the same goes for the musket. If it is forced to fire multiple times, it will easily explode.
After several rounds of fierce shelling and musketry attacks, the Qing army suffered heavy losses, nearly half of them, especially the cavalry, which was almost destroyed.
With the sound of hoofbeats, the Tianwu Army's cavalry charged towards the Qing army like an overwhelming force.
Cao Bianjiao immediately shouted: "Goose-shaped formation, outflank with two wings, prepare short muskets!"
After the order was given, thousands of cavalrymen immediately changed their formations and passed by both sides of the battlefield. They inserted their long guns into their holsters and took out their revolvers from their legs.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The chaotic sound of handguns rang out, and puffs of white smoke rose. The Tianwu Army cavalry circled the battlefield and began to shoot freely at close range.
The Qing troops who were crowded together on the battlefield continued to fall, watching in horror the inexplicable and terrifying tactics of the Ming cavalry.
After the Tianwu Army's cavalry fired six rounds of projectiles in a row, they began to change formations and charge towards the Qing army. They took out their long spears from their holsters and charged back and forth against the Qing army again and again, like plowing a field.
The Tianwu Army's cavalry was almost done, and then the infantry began to move out.
In the trench, Commander Gao Bang of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Tianwu Army threw away his musket, drew his saber, and shouted: "Is anyone alive?"
"have!"
Around the trenches, the Tianwu Army sergeants shouted in unison.
"Put on the bayonet and charge me!" Gao Bang shouted, holding the saber in his hand and charging towards the Qing army.
"kill!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth, and the Tianwu Army's shouters rushed over from the trenches all over the field. Everyone was in high spirits and eager for military glory.
In the Tianwu Army, Xu Qingshan held a musket with a three-edged bayonet and rushed towards the Tatars with the brigade. He kept shouting in his heart: "Kill the Tatars, achieve military merit, make your wife a wife, and serve the country bravely!"
Xu Qingshan not only officially joined the Tianwu Army, but also became a captain because of his meritorious service in the Tianwu Army's encirclement and suppression of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo and Zhang Xianzhong many times.
This time, I am lucky enough to accompany the crown prince to the north. Xu Qingshan’s goal is to be promoted to the post general!
The remaining men and horses of the Qing army were either disabled or frightened. At this time, they were even more frightened when they saw a large group of Tianwu troops rushing towards them in the dark surroundings.
This army was armed with blunderbuss and knives. They all had dark faces and a chilling power. At that moment, the Qing army even thought they saw a resurrected Han and Tang army.
The duel with cold weapons was more cruel than that with hot weapons. The two armies were soon strangled together. The battlefield was full of cut off heads and severed limbs, as well as chilling cries.
The Manchurian soldiers of the Qing army were very powerful in close combat, as if they had been brainwashed by a pyramid scheme, and they were also very crazy, especially the Baya soldiers, who surrounded their master Duoduo tightly one by one.
"The Crown Prince decrees that anyone who kills the slave chief Duduo will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"
When Xu Qingshan heard this, his eyes instantly brightened several times, and the ferocity in his eyes became several times stronger. He stared at Duduo from a distance, who was surrounded by a group of white flag-bearing soldiers.
Almost everyone in the Tianwu Army had red eyes, looking at Duduo with madness in their eyes.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Tianwu Army roared and shouted, and the Triangular Army stabbed and stabbed continuously.
The Qing army had no way to retreat at this time, so they plucked up their courage and rushed in with a roar, their wild beast-like instincts bursting out.
There were constant shouts and shouts on the battlefield, blood spattered, and the hot blood covered the cold and dry land.
Xu Qingshan felt that the bayonet was short and he was not used to it, so he picked up a spear abandoned by the Qing army on the ground.
Xu Qingshan held the spear and found the feeling. As if possessed by Changshan Zhao Zilong, he rushed straight towards Duduo, who was guarded by Baya soldiers.
He stabbed three Baya soldiers to death in a row. After swinging a few times to deflect the attack of the two Baya soldiers, Xu Qingshan saw the opportunity and used all his strength to stab Duduo fiercely.
.
Duduo was panicking and couldn't dodge for a moment, so he had to slash Xu Qingshan with his backhand.
"Kang!" Two harsh metallic sounds sounded almost at the same time.
Xu Qingshan's spear penetrated the multiple layers of heavy armor on Duduo's body and accurately pierced his heart.
Duduo's sword also struck Xu Qingshan's armor, creating a large gash.
Xu Qingshan ignored the blood flowing from the wound, stirred the spear vigorously, and stabbed it in again.
"No!"
Amid the roars of Adali and others, Duduo's body trembled a few times, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes widened. He did not expect that he would die in the hands of an unknown soldier of the Ming army.
Xu Qingshan pulled out his spear fiercely, deflected the frenzied attacks of several Baya soldiers around him, stepped forward again, and stabbed Duduo with another spear, fearing that he would not die.
Duduo was stabbed twice, both in vital parts, and soon lost his breath. Only his eyes were still wide open, as if he was still alive.
If Duduo knew that the unknown soldier who killed him would also be crowned king decades later, I wonder if he would die in peace.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was observing the battle with a telescope, accidentally saw this scene. He was a little unsure. Suddenly he saw the big flag with white flag falling down. He was surprised and said: "The slave chief Duduo is dead!"
Mao Yuanyi said: "Congratulations to Your Highness for beheading Prince Donglu!"
Duduo was named Prince Heshuoyu, and his status was three levels higher than that of Yue Tuo's Baylor. The most important thing was that Duduo was the youngest king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the leader of one of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which was of great significance.
Zhu Cixi said lightly: "He is just a fake king of Donglu, not worth mentioning!"
Zhu Cixiang's goal was Huang Taiji and the entire Liaodong. To him, one Duoduo was nothing.
There was no surprise in this battle. After an hour of bloody fighting, more than 10,000 Eight Banners troops were killed. Even some of the surrendered people were divided into pieces by the Tianwu Army.
