The next morning, Huang Taiji's main force of the Eight Banners was preparing to attack again, which was the last attack he prepared.

This time, he did not let the Han and Mongolian cavalry such as Li Yongfang's army and the Mongolian Khalkha tribe take the main attack, but directly dispatched all the elite troops of the Eight Banners, including his own Zhenghuang Banner.

Huang Taiji did not intend to preserve his strength or to achieve the least casualties of the Eight Banners of Manchuria by sacrificing Han and Mongolian cavalry.

The imperial guards in front of him were not as easy to deal with as the Ming army before. It was only now that Huang Taiji realized that the Ming army commanded by Zhu Youxiao himself had characteristics that all the troops did not have, that is, obedience and fear of death, and the chief officer was always in the forefront.

There is no such thing as his Eight Banners Cavalry. Among the Eight Banners, Shangguan is the master who rules you, everything about you, and even can take your life at any time.

More than 5,000 elite Eight Banners rushed towards the location of Zhu Youxiao’s Imperial Guards. The Tartars with rat-tailed pigtails still had their nostrils facing the sky, arrogant and domineering.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guards stood still in their positions, quietly watching the iron stream.

Some soldiers even held their hands even more sweaty, but after several days of actual combat, they had calmed down a lot. When they were waiting to enter the range, the Ming cannon still adjusted its running position in an orderly manner, waiting for Fu Dahai's command.

The shells slashed across the sky like a meteor, exploding among the Eight Banners elites rushing towards them.

Some of the skilled Eight Banners soldiers quietly avoided it, turned their horses hard and avoided it, but after running a few steps, the fierce horse still fell to the ground.

Only then did these Eight Banners soldiers realize that the iron shell was not just a solid ball, but could explode. According to the conservation of momentum, the iron sheets that the iron bomb exploded were enough to pierce the horse's belly. Coupled with the violent running, they would definitely bleed and die in a large amount of blood in a short period of time.

The same is true for humans. No matter how brave the Eight Banners soldiers are, they are still creatures. They will die after they have huge wounds.

However, Huang Taiji and other Eight Banners Tatars did not stop moving forward at the speed. Amid the rumbling artillery fire, they all rushed forward without fear of death.

The Third Battalion of Infantry had already raised the flintlock rifle in his hand and began shooting while the Tartars pulled their bows.

The dense artillery fire and bullets harvested a large number of lives of the Eight Banners Tartars, but these Tartars still charged forward. They always naively thought that the Ming army's firearms would not always attack like this.

However, the continuous shooting of the Imperial Guards brought them back to reality, just as they naively thought that Ming's arms would be scrapped if it rained.

The Eight Banners soldiers are brave but not really afraid of death. They enter the pass with the intention of making money. Once the casualties increase, they are unwilling to fight again because this is indescribable.

But now due to Huang Taiji's constraints and insistence on attacking, they had to continue to risk their lives to attack.

Once a person's desire to die is gone, and when he meets an increasingly difficult opponent, he will become slackened and his combat effectiveness will decrease. Although Huang Taiji used the supervision team, these Eight Banners soldiers obviously lost the fighting spirit of fighting the Ming army's border soldiers before.

When they see a muzzle facing them, they change their impact formation. Sometimes it is not that people want to change, but that horses want to change direction.

Horses with the same biological characteristics, namely conditioned reflex, when they see the muzzle and muzzle, their nervous system has instinctively produced a reflex arc to avoid harm, and did not naturally change the direction of attack.

The cavalry attack formation changed, and the threat posed by it was greatly reduced.

However, the Imperial Guards also had difficulties at this time. Although they had been resting for a night, many soldiers were already tired due to several days of fighting.

Firearms have high attention requirements for soldiers. Once a person's fatigue increases, his accuracy will decrease.

This is not the most serious problem. The most serious thing is the large consumption of gunpowder. In addition, it rained yesterday, and today we have to face the most powerful offensive troops.

The gunpowder had reached a point of difficulty, and Qin Botong even went to the position to save Chang Yanling and Fu Dahai a little.

As a result, Chang Yanling, who was fighting the Tartars in full swing and had hundreds of people killed by the Tartars, swears for the first time and quarreled with Qin Botong.

Finally, Zhu Youxiao stood up and ordered the Imperial Guards to suspend the use of gunpowder and let the baggage battalion fight the Tartars in a hand-to-hand battle before the Tatars launched their next attack.

The engineering battalion continued to be reserved, and the cavalry battalion, artillery battalion and infantry battalion were temporarily rested.

Qin Botong was not afraid of his baggage battalion's decisive battle with the most powerful Tartars. He and his baggage soldiers kept breathing.

Since training, it seems that everyone thinks that even if the baggage battalion is not the main combat force, it seems to be the auxiliary soldiers serving the infantry and artillery cavalry.

Now is the time for Qin Botong and He's supplies camp to prove himself. The sneak attack of the Tartars last night was basically due to the engineers, and the Tartars retreated too quickly and could not be considered glory.

But this time it is different. The confrontation is in front of you. The main force of the Eight Banners wearing armor. These cavalrymen who will be scared to the point of being frightened by anyone who hears them.

"Brothers, in the next battle, we will face the Tartars who are scared by everyone. I will ask you if you are afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

"Okay! Let the guys from the infantry artillery battalion see that the spears of our baggage battalion can kill the Tartars!"

The baggage battalion had the worst equipment, with only one hundred flintlock guns in the entire battalion, and the rest were all coercive guns. Seeing this, Qin Botong simply found a way to organize an array of spears against the cavalry by looking up information during the preview of the book of the Imperial Guard.

Zhu Youxiao did not oppose his approach. Logically speaking, the spear does have a certain effect on the cavalry, but the effect is not very good. After all, in the face of strong impact, people can easily collapse. Once the cavalry attacks the flanks manually, you cannot change the direction of the attack immediately, not to mention that the spear formation cannot attack except for self-protection.

"Array!"

After Qin Botong gave the order, the baggage battalion immediately formed an array of spears on the periphery, a clamp gun inside, and a flintlock gun inside.

"go ahead!"

Under the leadership of Qin Botong, the baggage camp walked towards Huang Taiji's main force of the Eight Banners in neat steps.

The Eight Banners Tatars also rushed over at this time. Some Eight Banners soldiers who had no time to turn their horses and bumped into them directly, and some soldiers from the baggage battalion were directly shook to the ground.

But at this time, the soldier holding a musket was indifferent. He was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he forgot the exercises he usually trained.

Fortunately, after a short period of stagnation, muskets began to fire one after another, and several spearmen began to stab into the Eight Banners Tartars that rushed in.

The soldiers in the baggage battalion were really not afraid of death. They fell in a pool of blood and still had to block the galloping horses. When they saw a comrades falling down, they could quickly fill them up.

No one knows what kind of blood Qin Botong injected them. Perhaps when a person is eager to prove himself, he will become extremely crazy.
