1382 Command
But although everyone couldn't understand what they were shouting loudly, they also knew that they were definitely calling on the Qing army on the top of the city. So everyone subconsciously became prepared.
Sure enough, as soon as the Guanning soldiers picked up their shields, a group of Qing soldiers soon appeared on the top of the city, and shot four-wheeled feather arrows downwards! More than a dozen people fell to the ground on the spot!
This is because everyone is prepared and raises the shields in their hands to cover each other. If they are not prepared, at least dozens of people will fall down in these four rounds of arrows!
The staff officer knew that things should never be allowed to continue, otherwise the collapse of these soldiers would be in front of him! He immediately grabbed a soldier with a small flag on his waist and shouted at him: "Take a hundred people to the left immediately and block the horse path on the left!"
The little flag was still stunned. He woke up after being pushed hard by the staff officer. He quickly gestured to the people around him. These people surrounded him and headed towards the horse path on the left.
The staff officers nodded for their wit! When he was studying in the military academy, the instructor told them how to quickly guide the defeated soldiers. Although he is not facing the defeated soldiers, he is not much stronger!
The senior officers of the Guanning Army were either busy transferring their families and money, or they just hid with guilt, not wanting to see the tragic phenomenon of Shanhaiguan not burning! So the soldiers who were still fighting were all confused!
When people are at a loss, as long as someone stands up and leads them, no matter what this person does, at least a large number of people will follow him in a short period of time! This small flag in front of him is an example!
So the staff officer did the same thing and asked another small flag to take people to block the horse road on the right. Finally, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, I have invited reinforcements! As long as the city gate is blocked for a quarter of an hour, our reinforcements will arrive! We must not let the Tartars burn the city!"
Originally, these soldiers were all ignorant and fearful! After all, they abandoned their old master and now oppose their new master, so they must be very confused!
But when they heard that reinforcements would come, their panic calmed down. Only then did they have a firm look on their faces!
At this moment, the cavalry outside the city had already dismounted and rushed towards the city gate hole!
The Qing army on the top of the city was rushing down from the horse paths on both sides of the city gate! Fortunately, there were not many people appearing on the top of the city!
The staff officer shouted loudly: "The sword and shield soldiers come forward, and the spear soldiers stabilize the formation!"
He gave this order because he had seen the Qing army running while taking down bows and arrows from their bodies! The bows and arrows at close range are still very powerful! If the defense is not properly done, just a few rounds of arrows can shoot the infantry formation to collapse!
The Guanning Army soldiers fought with the Qing army for many years, and naturally knew the Qing army's habits. When the staff officers did not give orders, they had already begun to take out their shields to defend themselves.
These Qing troops stood there more than 30 steps away and began to shoot at the Guanning soldiers in the city gate tunnel! However, the Guanning soldiers' combat power was not weak, and they could not pass through the wind and rain with shields, so there would be no problem here in the city gate tunnel for a while. However, face-to-face fighting had begun on the horse paths on both sides of the city gate!
The Qing army on the top of the city had just shot four-wheeled feather arrows on the city, but found that the effect was not great, so they picked up their weapons and rushed down to fight, trying to regain the city gate!
In fact, if these Guanning troops fought with these Qing troops in the formal military formation, they would have collapsed long ago! Because they had been psychologically defeated by the Qing army!
But today they felt that they were guarding their hometown elders and relatives, so they were extremely eager to fight! Moreover, they were in a very good position, blocking the city gate and the horse road. The contact surface of the battle was very narrow, and it was difficult for the Qing army to perform. So as soon as the two sides contacted each other, they were in a stalemate!
The staff officer had just breathed a long sigh, and the situation on the battlefield changed again! The Guanning army was blocked tightly here in the city gate, and the Qing army could not break through for a while. However, the situation on the horse roads on both sides changed!
On the horse road, the Qing soldiers standing in the front row slashed and killed the Guanning soldiers. The Guanning soldiers defended steadily and could fight back occasionally, but they were also very excited! However, the Qing soldiers standing on the horse road were very clever and replaced with bows and arrows, shooting downwards!
This was hitting the vital points of the Guanning Army! The Qing army's bows and arrows were extremely accurate. Almost every time the bowstring sounded, someone would scream and fall down! No one could afford this price of death and injury! For a moment, the situation was shaken.
There are signs of defeat!
Seeing this, the staff officer was anxious and was about to organize a counterattack. Suddenly, he saw more than a dozen people standing beside him. In addition to having waist knives, the dozen people were also carrying a thick three-eyed gun!
The staff officers studied this kind of three-eyed gun during their training. This kind of three-eyed gun is relatively advanced. If it is ignited in sequence, it can shoot three lead bullets in a row! But the accuracy needs to be said, it will definitely be terrible!
But now it is a close-range battle, so accuracy is not that important! The staff officer immediately ordered the dozen soldiers to shout loudly: "Come with me! Blow up all the fire media!"
The dozen or so soldiers followed the staff officer to the left horse path. When they got closer, the soldiers also understood the staff officer's intentions. Without his instructions, they raised their three-eyed guns and pressed them on the fuse with fire medium!
With a distance of more than ten steps, no matter how bad the accuracy of the musket is, the hit rate will be very high! This round of shooting was shot, and most of the Qing soldiers who shot arrows on the horse path were shot down on the spot! The remaining Qing army immediately retreated back to the city if they didn't know what they knew!
The staff officer was overjoyed and did the same thing and repelled the Qing army on the right horse road. The staff officer realized the benefits of the three-eyed gun and specially called a group of sword and shield soldiers to protect these musket soldiers! Let them specifically shoot the enemies rushing down the horse road! In this way, with the sword and shield soldiers, the spearmen blocked the bottom of the horse road, and they could defend the horse road from letting the Qing army rush over!
The staff officer had just commanded the soldiers to repel the Qing army on the horse road, and a series of fighting sounds came from the city gate! And he obviously saw that the soldiers at the city gate were shaken!
The staff officer couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really a bad year! I don't know if I can withstand this level!"
When he rushed to the city gate, through the shaking heads, he saw a large number of Qing troops rushing into the city gate hole! The two sides fought each other in a narrow space. Although not many people fell down, it was possible to feel that the morale of Guanning soldiers was declining sharply!
