Chapter 813 The Terrible Ming Army
The birds in the jungle flew away one after another, breaking the silence of dawn.
In the jungle behind this Ming army, there were more and more flags, with at least thousands of Ming army following behind!
"When the enemy approaches, then fire the gun and listen to the orders of Beijing in this chapter!"
Nalan Mingzhu aimed at the Ming army's whistleman with a gun, and repeated the orders in a low voice.
With a gunshot, the Ming army in the front fell into the river on its back.
Immediately afterwards, gunfire sounded in the forest, and almost all the ambush fired at the same time. The guns and bullets were fired in a row like money, splashing tiny water columns in the river.
Nalan Mingzhu was stunned. She looked at the gun in her hand, but found that the bullet was still there, not that her musket was fired.
He was furious and shouted, "Which dog shot it!"
Nalan Mingzhu's intention was very simple. At least he had to wait for the Ming army's thousand-man team to come up to cross the river and then harvest it. At that time, there was no cover in the river and he could not lie down. The Ming army became a living target and could expand the results of the battle!
However, as soon as a Ming army squad entered the river to catch fish, someone opened fire.
Now a Ming soldier was shot to death. When the situation was not good, the others immediately retreated into the river bank, lying down on the spot, or hid behind trees, mountains and rocks.
The fighter plane disappeared all of a sudden, and he lay in the mountains for a long time and lay white. How could Nalan Mingzhu not be angry!
But he saw Jialazhang Jing Soetu leaning against the rock not far away laughing and said proudly: "Mingzhu, it was the gun fired by this Zhangjing. How about it? The marksmanship is OK!"
Nalan Mingzhu's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Soetu, if you dare to disobey the military order, I will kill you immediately!"
Soetu posed in a standard shooting posture and said with a relaxed expression: "You are Jiala Zhangjing, so is I, why should I listen to you!"
These two funny guys are both from the Eight Banners Martial Arts and their fathers are both guys who lick blood from the knife. They are not the images of literary officials in a movie and TV series in later generations, and they all started with martial artists.
The bad situation in the Qing Dynasty delayed their good time in reading and writing, forcing them to inherit their father's business and join the army to the battlefield.
"You foolish guy are waiting for me to see how I deal with you when I go back!"
Nalan Mingzhu was so angry that she had nothing to say because the Ming army began to fight back.
"Isn't it just a royal relative? It's up to you to be able to do it!" Soetu muttered.
Nalan Mingzhu's aunt is Huang Taiji's biological mother. He married Ajige's daughter. According to her seniority, Mingzhu is the cousin and cousin husband of the young emperor Shunzhi...
Soetu has no relationship with this. He is Sony's concubine and has no status at home. His brother inherited Sony's title, so he could only inherit the Niulu Zhang Jingshi position that Huang Taiji rewarded Sony.
So Soetu looked down on this royal relative who came from the heart, and thought that Mingzhu was promoted by relationships and had no ability, and could only brag.
The Ming army made a little rectification and quickly opened a scattered line on the river bank to cover it.
The so-called scattered line is a formation of soldiers scattered into a line during battle, with a large gap between each soldier. The soldiers in the scattered line can slightly move forward or backward, and use firepower to destroy the opponent during movement;
The scattered line tactics can better combine firepower, movement and assault, and can unleash or concentrate troops in a short period of time, so that the marching formation and combat formation can be quickly exchanged, and attack and defense battles.
This is the most advanced tactic of the Ming army. The Qing army could not understand it. They only knew that the Ming army did this and the ambushing Qing army would not be able to concentrate on fire.
The Ming army on the other side of the river opened fire and counterattacked.
An Eight Banners's Taleman was rising with Lumi's gun in his arms, and he actually jumped up from behind the rock, preparing to kill a Ming soldier in an extremely coquettish posture.
However, with a muffled sound, the flag Ding fell to the ground in dejection, and his chest was stained with blood.
The Ming army's firearm training level is first-class. How can this kind of ignorant pretender jump around?
The Eight Banners soldiers exposed to the cover will definitely suffer a fatal blow, with the least being killed or injured, and the worst being shot!
Nalan Mingzhu shrank her head and shouted loudly: "Secret, hide quickly!"
The bullets flew straight, and the blood of the dead flag scattered everyone. Many flag scattered around the dead were in a daze, clearly feeling the cruelty of the war.
Some Eight Banners soldiers who later joined the army have never experienced such a battle. They usually only suppress some North Korean rioters and use their butts to hit low-ranking people who were locked by their knees. How could they have seen such a bloody scene?
Two of the flag deputies threw down their guns on the spot and ran away. As soon as they ran a few steps, they were hit by the Ming army's bullets.
The others were so scared that they lay on the ground, holding their heads tightly with their hands.
The shooting of the other Eight Banners soldiers was like scraping and fired a shot without any brainstorm, and then quickly hid in the cover and pretended to load.
Soetu's shooting skills were quite accurate. He only knocked down a Ming soldier three times in a row. The other Qing soldiers were all randomly hit, and it was all due to the missed attack.
The subsequent Ming army rushed up and, under the mobilization of Qi Guangyang, directly dispatched a battalion of 400 troops to cross the river.
The Ming army swam across the country quickly and rushed to the opposite river beach in the rain of bullets from the Qing army.
However, the Ming army that rushed up the river beach actually stood still on the river beach. Some soldiers tried their best, but slowly sank. They were trapped in a slender and undetectable swamp mud!
A Qing army flag yelled excitedly: "Minggou is cold, they are trapped..."
The villain died because he talked too much. Before the dragon's words were finished, a bullet entered his chest without hesitation.
The flag dick fell to the ground with an excited smile on her face, and I don’t know what to be happy about.
The Ming army trapped in the swamp was not panicked. With their solid knowledge reserves, they stabilized their bodies and sank. The Heding rifles in their hands kept firing, which was accurate and fierce.
A chaotic gunfire sounded, and a few more excited Eight Banners soldiers were shot dead. The remaining Eight Banners soldiers were so scared that they hid behind the pile of rocks and soil.
The Ming army on the river beach showed strong discipline. They still maintained their combat formation, holding their heding rifles aimed at shooting.
Some soldiers who were sinking deeper and gradually sank into the swamp with a cold face of their faces as if they were ready to die, shouting: "Long live Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty is full of victories!"
Nalan Mingzhu stared at the Ming army on the river beach in a daze, feeling a sense of unconcealed shock in her heart. He murmured: "How can I, the Qing Dynasty, be able to compete with such an army!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A roar came from the other side of the river, and then a dull roar sounded, and the forest where the Qing army was hiding was constantly exploding like flowers.
"The Ming army fired?!"
Nalan Mingzhu looked around and looked around, but she really didn't understand where the Ming army got the cannon? She didn't look at it!
On the other side of the river, the Ming army set up a row of light mortars, which can also be called grenade launchers.
This light mortar weighs less than ten kilograms and can be carried by individual soldiers.
Although it is not powerful, it has a fast firing rate and can shoot twenty or thirty shells in one minute. I’ll ask if you are afraid!
The Qing army's ambush was suddenly in anger, and the flowers bloomed everywhere. The exploded rocks and broken wood roared down to attack the ambushing Qing army.
Nalan Mingzhu had never seen such a scene. Her face twitched in fear. He shouted: "Retreat!"
The Eight Banners Army, which was originally suppressed by the Ming army's firepower, immediately dispersed after hearing the order and went back whatever they came.
In fact, before Mingzhu gave the order, dozens of them had already secretly ran away.
This failed ambush war allowed the Eight Banners Army, which had not experienced the war for a long time, to witness the strength of the Ming army again.
This kind of power is not only reflected in equipment, but also discipline and spirit!
The Ming army who were trapped in the quagmire showed the spirit of facing death, which allowed Nalan Mingzhu to deeply appreciate the terror of the Ming army!
The Ming army seemed to have all the equipment against the will, good training, high morale, strict discipline, and iron-blooded spirit.
But the Eight Banners Army is inferior to others everywhere!
What's worse is that the Eight Banners Army, which defended Xuanzhou, was still at an absolute disadvantage in military strength.
Nalan Mingzhu really doesn’t know how to fight this battle!
On the way back, Nalan Mingzhu, a good general of the Qing Dynasty, made a bold move.
He announced to his subordinates: "This encounter is a great victory for Zhenghuang Banners! A great victory for the Eight Banners Army! The first battle of the Qing Dynasty won!"
Nalan Mingzhu could only use this method to motivate the Eight Banners Army. As for lying about the victory, it is a death sentence. Not to mention the morality of the Qing Dynasty's military discipline, is anyone reporting it? Did the above admit it?
One hour later, Zhenghuang Banner returned to Xingfeng Mountain. News of the victory in Yuefeng Mountain quickly spread throughout the Qing army's positions. The Eight Banners Army was filled with joy and morale was high.
Even the Qing army, whose morale was depressed, retreated from the Tieshan defense line, was encouraged.
As Nalan Mingzhu thought, although coach Zu Zerun was a little suspicious, he still agreed.
Zu Zerun knew very well that the upcoming battle would be extremely tragic, but whether it was the Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, or even the Korean and Japanese Banners of cannon fodder, they were not mentally prepared for this.
The Qing army was not as good as others everywhere. If morale collapsed, the battle would be impossible.
As the head coach, I must first improve my morale and stabilize my morale!
Even a false victory must be used, which is exactly the effect Zu Zerun needs.
In fact, this false victory covered up the weakness and backwardness of the Eight Banners Army, and was just a self-deception.
Faced with the next battle in Xuanzhou, the Eight Banners Army, which had just recovered some confidence, was bleeding from the fierce attack of the Ming army, with corpses everywhere, and heavy casualties, which was a terrible sight!
