North of Songshan City.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops were fighting with tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers.
In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, the slightest mistake could lead to the collapse of the entire army.
So both sides are very cautious.
In order to prevent the regional war situation from affecting the overall situation, both armies tried their best.
First, the battle line.
Generally speaking, the army will only deploy two fronts.
One for the vanguard camp and one for the central army.
This time, both sides deployed three or even four fronts.
If the vanguard camp is defeated, there is the central army vanguard. If the central army vanguard is defeated, there is the central army main force. If the central army main force is defeated, there is the central army rear camp.
A certain number of tanks were deployed on each battle front.
Due to the limited number of chariots, the Ming army even pushed the shield carts used for siege to the front line to participate in the battle.
"Come over here if you have the guts!" The Ming army shouted to the Eight Banners soldiers while hiding behind the chariots.
"Why don't you come over?" the Eight Banners soldier asked back.
"I'm busy!"
After the soldiers of both sides hid behind the chariots and seduced each other, the Eight Banners soldiers could not help it.
Their mission was to launch an attack while the Ming army was exhausted.
If we delay any further, the Ming army will have had enough rest.
They left the cover of the chariots and took the lead in challenging the Ming army to hand-to-hand combat.
The Ming army ignored it.
Continue to hide behind the chariot and shoot sneak shots and arrows.
In order to capture Songshan, the Ming army had to take the initiative to attack.
Now that Songshan has changed hands, they just need to hold on.
Man Dahai, who was commanding the battle at the front, waved his hand and ordered: "Pass the order, send the death squad up!"
The death squads here are the Sauron soldiers that the Qing Dynasty relies on the most.
They are tall and strong, living between white mountains and black waters all year round. Their living conditions are extremely difficult, no different from those of primitive people.
Due to the environment, the strength and endurance of the Sauron people are much greater than that of ordinary people.
With a little training, it can become a powerful weapon in hand-to-hand combat.
In history, the Qing dynasty upheld the principle that those who could endure hardships should be allowed to endure endless hardships...
After entering the Pass, the living quality of the Sauron people was not improved, but their activities were restricted to the poor mountains and bad waters.
Let them continue to live in isolation so as to maintain their fighting power.
Following the general's order, a Sauron soldier in full iron armor walked out from behind the chariot.
He was covered from head to toe with thick iron armor, and even wore a layer of cotton armor inside to protect himself from firearms.
His face was also covered by armor, leaving only his eyes visible to see the road.
Immediately following.
More and more Sauron soldiers came out from behind the chariots and began to line up.
Some of them were armed with shields and blunt weapons.
Some of them were holding spears for attacking strongholds, and some had swords hanging around their waists for close combat.
Some held bows and arrows and wore swords on their waists.
In fact, Sauron soldiers are not just heavy armored infantry.
There are also cavalry and archers.
Both cavalry and archers used hard bows.
Ordinary people cannot pull this kind of hard bow at all, only they can use it.
Combined with armor-piercing arrows, it could penetrate the mainstream cotton armor at the time, and even cause a certain degree of damage to people wearing dark armor.
After seeing the heavily armored soldiers of the Jiannu army, there was a commotion in the Ming army.
Wang Yongji's central army was mainly composed of Wu Sangui's Guanning Army and Huang Degong's Yongwei Battalion.
They had all come into contact with Sauron soldiers on the battlefield and knew how powerful they were.
"Where are the Rumi guns? Those holding the Rumi guns come forward and aim at those armored soldiers!" the Ming army general ordered.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of bird guns continued to ring out.
However, before the Ming army's bird-gun soldiers pulled the trigger, some of the Sauron soldiers raised their shields.
They also knew the power of the Ming army's bird guns, so they specially prepared shields for this purpose.
Cotton armor, iron armor and a shield.
The triple protection almost reached the extreme of individual defense in the mid-seventeenth century.
More than a thousand Sauron soldiers raised their weapons, made strange and shrill noises, and stabbed into the Ming army like sharp knives.
The Ming army thrust out their spears, temporarily blocking the attacking Sauron soldiers.
The reason why it is temporary is that the spear failed to penetrate the armor.
Breaking through one layer of armor is already difficult, and breaking through two layers of armor is even more difficult.
Snap!
The spear was directly broken by the arm armor of Sauron's soldier.
Without the spears to stop them, the Sauron soldiers continued to charge.
The heavily armored soldiers cleared the way in front, the spearmen finished off the attack and expanded their positions, and the archers in the back kept shooting arrows at the Ming troops who blocked their advance.
The rest of the Eight Banners soldiers followed behind and cooperated with the Sauron soldiers to advance forward.
The Ming army also had heavily armored soldiers.
Although the equipment of both sides is almost the same, Sauron's soldiers are superior in size, strength and endurance.
The Ming army was not afraid at all and rushed forward with roars.
The two iron legions collided.
The shields collided with each other, making a loud noise.
The blunt weapon was swung and hit the opponent's shield.
Then the shields collided and the two sides began to compete in strength and endurance.
The Sauron soldiers' archers began to exert their strength, shooting and killing the Ming army's infantry with their hard bows.
The Ming army was unwilling to be outdone and fought back with Rumi guns.
The Eight Banners spearmen waved their spears and stabbed fiercely at the limbs, armpits and backs of the Ming army's heavily armored soldiers.
boom!
The Ming army first used grenades to disrupt the Eight Banners soldiers' formation, and then engaged the enemy with swords and shields.
The two sides fought on a battle line that stretched ten miles from east to west.
At first the two sides were evenly matched, but as time went on, the already exhausted Ming army began to lose its strength.
"Report! Governor, Jiannu has dispatched the Sauron soldiers! The vanguard of our left wing has been defeated, and Jiannu is attacking the second line of defense on the left wing."
