Chapter 358 Eight Mile Bridge Victory
The war horses in Poerban were not shocked, and he and the more than 500 elite heavy cavalry around him were not attacked by the heavy cavalry of the Ming army. Seeing that the brigade of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry collapsed, Poerban yelled: "Brothers, follow me and there will be hope for rushing into the Ming dog artillery team!"
Five hundred Qing troops of the Man Eight Banners who could still maintain their formation rushed towards the Ming army's artillery position. At this time, the hollow formation of Ming army infantry had begun to advance. They pursued the defeated Qing cavalry and were at a distance from the artillery position. Pallban seized this opportunity and led the five hundred elite troops in close proximity to attack the Ming army's artillery position.
More than 500 Ming army scattered soldiers who came to their senses immediately turned their guns and fired a row of bullets in the direction of Pall Basin.
"Bang bang bang" gunshots, and the rifled rifles accurately shot bullets into the Qing cavalry formation. Only a row of screams were heard, and at least more than a hundred Qing cavalry were shot and dropped.
At the same time, more than a thousand infantrymen who were closer to the artillery position also rushed up to prepare to protect the artillery.
The gunners who had loaded the shotgun ignited the artillery and aimed at the Qing cavalry formation that had rushed to fifty steps away, and the shotgun hit the Qing cavalry like rain. Only screams were heard, and more than half of the remaining more than 400 Qing cavalry were missing.
Pallbane had rushed to the artillery position with the only 156 remaining elite cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchus. The gunners dropped their artillery and pushed them down and turned into obstacles to block the Qing cavalry. They turned around and ran back. At this moment, the infantry arrived just now, and more than a thousand infantry picked up the flintlock rifles with bayonets and aimed at the direction of the Qing army.
"Bang bang bang" The flintlock rifle shot at close range within fifty steps spit out the flames, and a thousand bullets drilled into the Qing army crowd. Only a row of screams were heard. The remaining 156 cavalrymen were dropped one after another, leaving only Pallbank and six cavalrymen still charging.
The infantry immediately rushed forward with bayonets. The more than ten infantry in the front were knocked out by the rushing over Pallbank and six cavalrymen, but the bayonet also stabbed into the body of the war horse, and the five war horses fell down.
The only remaining Poerpen rushed to the Ming army artillery with a cavalry, but found himself trapped in the encirclement of Ming army infantry.
Groups of infantry erected bayonets, and the last Goshha war horse had lost its speed and was surrounded by Ming infantry and could not escape.
Pallbane and his Goshha jumped off their horses, drew their swords and slashed at the Ming infantry.
"Go to die, Mingdog!" Pall basin cut over a Ming infantry rushing up with a knife, then chopped and slashed the left and then, cutting over two Ming soldiers next to him in succession, but the two Ming soldiers coming up behind him sent the bayonet into the back of Pall basin.
The bayonet with a triangular cross-section was extremely powerful, and it would bleed continuously when it penetrated into the body. Pallbent screamed, feeling that his whole body was losing its strength quickly, and soon he lost the power to swing the knife.
"Puchi" Three Ming soldiers who came up from the front were sent into the abdomen of Poll's bayonet at the same time. After a painful struggle, Poll's bayonet finally fell down. At the same time, his last Goshha was also surrounded by the Ming army and stabbed into a horse's nest.
The Kangrif rocket disrupted the formation of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry, and the heavy cavalry dispersed the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry. At this time, the Ming army began a performance of light cavalry and infantry chasing the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.
The defeated Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were driven away by the heavy cavalry of the Ming army. They were in a panic and crashed into the formation of the Green Camp soldiers and the Eight Banners Han army behind. The formation of the Qing army was suddenly in chaos. The cavalry and infantry collided with each other, trampling on each other, and were killed and injured.
On the Bali Bridge, the chaotic Qing army infantry were crowded with no way to advance or retreat. Many Qing soldiers who were rushing to escape were squeezed to the side of the railings. More and more people rushed to the bridge. Only a loud "boom" sound was heard, and the bridge railings were broken, and the Qing soldiers squeezed into the bridge fell into the river like dumplings.
The fleeing Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry also arrived in front of Bali Bridge at this time. Seeing that the bridge was blocked by infantry, the Eight Banners Cavalry rode their horses directly over the Green Camp soldiers and the Eight Banners Han Army, and stepped out a bloody road in the crowded crowd. However, the number of Qing soldiers on the bridge was too funny. After a few steps, the cavalry had no strength to rush again, so the cavalry were blocked on the bridge and could not advance or retreat.
The Eight Banners Cavalry coming from behind were in a panic and jumped directly into Tonghui River.
War horses can actually swim, but the distance is very short, but the Tonghui River, which is not wide, can be swam by it.
The problem is that many Manchu and Mongolian cavalrymen don’t know how to swim themselves, but after riding their horses down the river, they fell off their horses in panic and drowned in the river.
Seeing that the defeated Qing army was blocked on the bridge, they took off their armor and jumped into the river. The Qing soldiers who could swim desperately swim to the other side. However, many Qing soldiers who could not swim caught the Qing soldiers who could swim and wanted them to take themselves across the river. As a result, a large number of Qing soldiers were crowded in the river, and many of them could swim and drowned.
At this time, the Ming Navy gunners who were on theshore had loaded 120 pounds of mortars. With a few dull sounds of cannons, eighteen flowering shells smashed towards Bali Bridge and Tonghui River.
"Boom boom boom" flowering fire shells exploded on the bridge deck and by the river, raising a dazzling blood mist. The corpses on the bridge fell into the water one after another. Many Qing soldiers crowded in the Tonghui River were also killed, and the river water was dyed red.
"Master, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Several Goshha begged Obai to run away quickly.
"Master, although we can't cross the Bali Bridge, we can cross the river directly." said a Goshha.
Oboi sighed: "Everyone, you can escape by yourself! Don't worry about me! I'm defeated in this battle, and I'm guilty. I should apologize for death. How can I escape? You can leave!"
"The master will not leave, and the slaves will not leave." The Goshhas insisted on staying with Oboi.
In fact, even if these Goshhas fled back by themselves, if Obai died in the chaos, none of these Goshhas would survive. The Qing Dynasty law also had the crime of the owner, that is, if the general died on the battlefield and his personal bodyguards escaped, it would be a serious crime. All the personal bodyguards who escaped would be executed.
The Ming army had discovered Oboi's banner, and a terrifying shout sounded on the battlefield: "Oboi is there, capture Oboi alive!"
At this time, Obai had more than 100 Goshhas, more than 500 Eight Banners of Manchus, more than 300 Eight Banners of the Mongolians, as well as Zhang Tianlu and more than 2,000 Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners, and more than 2,000 Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Qing army. These Qing troops still had more than 600 bird guns, more than 100 turtledove guns, more than 100 Franchises and six red barbarian cannons. Obai and his more than 600 Eight Banners of Manchus were all archers.
More than two thousand Qing soldiers formed a hollow formation, with the sword player on the periphery, the spearmen behind the sword player, the archers and the bird gunner behind the spearmen, and the gunner in the middle of the hollow formation.
