Chapter 62 Cruel Bloody Battle
After this round of grenade explosions, the Qing army lost almost a thousand more infantrymen. Due to the obstruction of the explosion, the Qing army was in chaos. It no longer had its previous formation and began to scatter.
Sun Yingyuan saw that the momentum of the Qing infantry who had rushed up was greatly reduced. He immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, draw your sword and kill the Tatars! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
With the drums beating and military flags waving, the musketeers of the Yongwei Battalion put their guns behind their backs, drew their sabers, and followed the shield soldiers and spearmen in the front row to advance towards the Qing army amidst overwhelming shouts.
At this time, everyone in the Yongwei battalion, except the artillery and the East Palace Guards, rushed forward. The two armies immediately got together and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
This is the first time that the Yongwei Battalion has engaged in large-scale hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army on the battlefield since it was formed. Although the Qing army is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, they are not only well-equipped, but also have rich combat experience.
But the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion are not bad either. Most of them are elites from the Nine Sides. They have undergone strict military combat training, and their armor is more sophisticated than that of the Qing army.
Coupled with the suppression from the front of the Yongwei camp, the momentum has greatly increased. Now the number is no less than that of the Qing army, and their courage has doubled.
The spearmen and shield soldiers cooperated with each other and slashed at the Japs' heads with their swords. They only killed the Qing soldiers and made them fall to the ground.
Military combat is not just a bare-handed fighting technique. It can use everything available around you, including weapons. Every move and every style contains the powerful power to defeat the enemy with one blow.
Military fighting skills are a kind of fighting skills that have evolved in wars for thousands of years. It is an indispensable and important link in modern military training in later generations. It is far more powerful than imagined.
The soldiers on both sides acted very bravely, with almost no cover. Their spears and swords were all used for stabbing and killing. Many soldiers almost stabbed the enemy, and at the same time, they themselves were penetrated by the spear of the enemy beside them.
.
The entire infantry battle in the middle was extremely brutal. The bloody battles in the cold weapon era were a thousand times more cruel and terrifying than those seen in movies and TV shows!
This is not a game or an exercise. If you die, you can start over. The death and disability here are real. There is no chance to make mistakes. Death means you are finished!
Standing on the high ground, Zhu Cixi could clearly see the situation on all fronts, especially the fierce situation on the battlefield in the middle, which could be seen more intuitively.
The tall Xu Sheng wanted to rush forward with his silver hammer and kill the enemy, but his responsibility was to protect the crown prince and he could not leave for a moment.
Seeing the fierce fighting in the field, Xu Sheng's eyes turned red. He rushed to a drummer next to him and beat the drum himself. His voice was like a bell, and he shouted: "Kill the slaves!"
Amidst the exciting sounds of war drums, the spears in the front line of the Yongwei Battalion were stabbing and slashing wildly with long knives. Nearly ten thousand troops from both sides were crowded on this unknown hillside. There was little room for display except stabbing.
Still stabbing, in addition to cutting or cutting!
Under the scorching sun, the thick smell of blood spread, and hot blood continued to flow from each other's warriors, soaking the dry land.
At the gap where the Yongwei camp was breached, a large number of heavy armored soldiers with white flags from the Qing army continued to pour in, their faces full of ferociousness.
When the battle was heating up, Sun Yingyuan, the new battalion commander and the supervisor of the Yongwei battalion, rushed into a gap crowded with Qing troops carrying a heavy Yanyue knife.
Sun Yingyuan wielded the Yanyue Sword to open and close, making him invincible wherever he went.
"Death!" Sun Yingyuan roared angrily, and slashed down with the heavy Yanyue Sword. In front of him was La Zhangjing, who was wearing a white flag and was wearing armor with great enthusiasm. The weapon in his hand was immediately chopped off.
The Yanyue Sword, which weighed several dozen kilograms, struck down smoothly. The Jia La Zhangjing and his helmet were splashed with blood and mist, and his head was split open in an instant.
Seeing that the general was so brave, the soldiers of the Yongwei camp were greatly inspired. They followed up and shouted to kill the enemy. The musketeers of the Yongwei camp held waist knives and followed closely behind the pikemen and shield soldiers, shouting wildly to fill the gap.
Soldiers on both sides continued to fall, and they were constantly being replenished.
This tragic scene of blood and flesh made Zhu Cixiang's heart tremble when he saw it. Although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't tolerate any softness in his heart.
The battlefield is like this. When you have to fight hard, you have to fight hard. You know you are sending soldiers to die, but you still have to send soldiers there.
Not only did the infantry in the center fight fiercely, but the cavalry battle on both wings was also extremely brutal.
The superb equestrian skills and bravery of the Eight Banners Army cavalry made it very difficult for the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion. Even though the number of people was about the same, the Yongwei Battalion did not gain any benefit.
Similarly, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army were also quite shocked. Over the years, the only Ming cavalry they had encountered was the Guan Ning cavalry. They did not expect that there was also a cavalry that was difficult to defeat near the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Degong rode a horse and held an iron whip in his hand, and he seemed to be in the middle of the chaos. Seeing how brave he was, some Qing soldiers in the rear army took up their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows came at Huang Degong like raindrops.
Huang Degong's horse was hit by several arrows and fell to the ground. He rolled on the ground like a donkey, then ran to an unmanned horse not far away and jumped on his horse to avoid the next round of arrows.
Among the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, a brave Jia La Zhangjing brandished a big spear and rushed towards Huang Degong. Huang Degong turned around and fought after hearing the sound. He shouted and rode his horse towards this Jia La Zhangjing.
This Jia La Zhangjing smiled cruelly, and with the help of his horse charge, he stabbed Huang Degong fiercely with a big spear in his hand.
While the horses were crossing each other, Huang Degong shouted angrily, suddenly grabbed his big gun and pulled him into his arms, pulling the Jia La Zhangjing to the ground with his horse and man, then turned his horse back and split his head with a whip.
Huang Degong spat at the Jia La Zhangjing, laughed and called him a noob, and then continued to kill dozens more Qing troops who were charging towards him.
Huang Degong's bravery shocked the Qing soldiers around him. His roar was like thunder and lightning, and no one in the Qing army who surrounded him like a big fish dared to come forward.
At this time, some Eight Banners Army cavalry had already broken through the cavalry defense line of the Yongwei Camp and rushed into the Yongwei Camp. The situation became even more tragic. Upon seeing this, Huang Degong quickly rode on horseback and returned to the Yongwei Camp to kill them.
These Qing soldiers and cavalry.
The fierce battle lasted for nearly an hour. Soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion and the Eight Banners Army continued to fall on the battlefield. The soldiers' armor was soaked with sweat, and their blood stained the entire land.
Both Zhu Cixiang and Yang Guli were gritting their teeth and holding on, waiting to see who could hold on until the end. The closer to the end, the more decisive victory would be. As long as one party couldn't bear it and retreated first, they would face a more severe pursuit from the other party.
At this time, the artillery commander in the rear army of the Yongwei Battalion reported to Zhu Cihong that all the artillery had been cooled down. However, under the current situation, it was no longer possible to use the artillery. The enemy was too close and firing would hit his own people.
Zhu Cixiang held up the telescope to check the surrounding situation. Suddenly, he spotted Yanguli in the distance.
Yangu Li's general's flag was very large, fluttering in the wind on a high ground one mile away.
Zhu Cixiang pointed in the direction of Yang Guli and said: "All Hongyi cannons, adjust their distance and hit the general flags on the mountain over there hard! Blow them to pieces!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Huang Degong's fighting prowess is not to be boasted. It is actually recorded in the "History of the Ming Dynasty": Mounting a horse and raising an iron whip, flying arrows rained down, the horse was riding, and he was galloping forward. There was a brave man who rode straight forward with a dancing stick. After winning the battle, he shouted, fought back, and held his stick.
But when they were beaten, both men and horses were killed. Dozens of them were killed again, and they jumped into the ruins. Their roars were like thunder. The pursuers did not dare to advance, so they galloped to the main army and were saved.
