"put!"
The scattered shells fired by the one hundred and forty-four Hu Zun cannons were like a wall, hitting the Han army's Zhengbai flag soldiers and horses. The ones rushing at the front were more than 3,000 gunmen under Shi Tingzhu. Only this round With a single volley, more than 3,000 gunmen killed nearly 2,000 people!
Shi Tingzhu's eyes widened. The gunman he had worked so hard to practice was blown away by Liu Yan's artillery fire before he could fire.
The white-flag hand-to-hand soldiers of the Han army behind them also had their morale collapsed at this time, and a large number of defeated soldiers began to flee backwards. Shi Tingzhu killed several people with his sword, but he still could not stop the momentum of the army's collapse.
boom!
The Hu Zun Cannon reloads quickly and has a range of about one mile. It is a powerful weapon for killing enemies at close range. At this time, the second round of salvos arrived, instantly mowing down a large number of Han troops who were defeated by the white flag. Those traitor soldiers were like the autumn harvest. Like wheat seedlings, they are harvested in batches.
At this time, Shi Tingzhu saw that the defeat of the army was determined. He was the first to be defeated. After returning, he would definitely be severely punished by Huang Taiji, and he had no idea for a while.
Just when Shi Tingzhu was distracted, the New Army Artillery Battalion Hu Zun Artillery Headquarters started the third round of salvo fire. The dense shotguns directly penetrated the crowd. At least a dozen large and small shotguns hit Shi Tingzhu head and face. , immediately beat the traitor to pieces, and his ugly head was blown away, directly hitting the fleeing soldier next to him, knocking him unconscious, and then being trampled to death by many deserters.
"Fire!"
Qian Qian roared loudly, and the New Army artillery battalion continued to engage in artillery battles with the banners of the Han army. With accurate salvos and a sufficient number of artillery, the New Army artillery battalion stabilized
They steadily suppressed the enemy troops and caused huge casualties to all banners of the Han army.
In the middle of the Qing army, Huang Taiji looked at the retreating Han army with white flags and horses. He saw that Shi Tingzhu's battle flag had fallen down, and his expression did not change much. He just said indifferently: "Order the second formation of Han army flags to press up." !”
"嗻!"
Soon the Han army's two yellow flags and red flag troops began to advance rapidly. Kong Youde led the Han army's red flag troops to fill the position of the Zhengbai flag. However, they were blocked by thousands of defeated troops. The army formation was blocked by those desperate The defeated soldiers who fled were so angry that Kong Youde directly ordered the gunmen to open fire and kill the defeated soldiers of the Han Army's Zhengbai Banner in front of the formation.
By the time Kong Youde led his troops to clear the way forward, Geng Zhongming's Han Army's Zhenghuang Banner and Ma Guangyuan's Han Army's Xianghuang Banner had merged with the Han Army's two Blue Banners. The artillery from the four banners concentrated on bombarding the New Army artillery camp. The Qing army's firepower instantly Enhance.
"Asshole!"
At this time, artillery shells continued to fall from all over the New Army's artillery camp. Even if there were a large number of earth-moving vehicles protecting the artillery camp, the Qing army concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces from the Five Banners of the Han Army and aimed concentrated bombardment at this place. Those earth-moving vehicles were unable to do so. Block all cannonballs.
Just to the right of Qian Qian, a cannonball directly broke the shaft of a dirt truck. With a bang, the dirt truck collapsed, and the splinters flying everywhere directly hit the two gunners next to it.
Another artillery shell fell on the ground and formed a ricochet. It flew diagonally and hit a gunner on the head. Then it changed direction and hit another gunner on the chest. It was directly embedded in the gunner's body. Not alive anymore.
At this time, chaos also broke out on the artillery camp of the New Army, but with the banners of the Han army,
Compared with the artillery team, the firepower here can still maintain its output, and it still has a certain advantage in the exchange of fire.
In the center of the New Army, Liu Yan also held up a telescope and looked a little ugly. The tenacity of the Qing army exceeded his expectations. Even the Han banner units were able to engage in long-term artillery battles with their own artillery battalions. This is enough to show that Huang Taiji was ready to fight.
"Huang Taiji, this wild boar skin, wants to severely damage our army and then continue to march into Beijing?"
Liu Yan sneered. At this time, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Xun Jingyun were also holding telescopes to observe the enemy's movements. Then Xu Ming said: "Supervisor, let the cavalry battalion charge. The artillery battalion is over there." It’s too much pressure!”
Liu Yan said nothing.
Xun Jingyun also said: "Those are the two Tatars under the banner of the Han army. Even if they are all killed, it will not hurt the Qing army. They should still concentrate their firepower to kill the Manchu and Mongolian banners. Governor, let the cavalry battalion charge." Let's charge forward and defeat the banners of the Han army as soon as possible, so as to save the firepower of the artillery battalion."
Liu Yan said at this time: "The cavalry camp cannot be moved for the time being!"
"The Qing army has sufficient troops, and Huang Taiji has more cards in his hand than me, so I have to use the fewest cards to win more cards in Huang Taiji's hand. I can't be impulsive!"
At this time, Miao Shao also said: "My supervisor, my subordinates are all worried that the artillery camp will be damaged too much!"
Liu Yan said: "This battle is a decisive battle. It is certain that the casualties will be heavy, but no matter how heavy the casualties are, we must persevere. This artillery battle will not only defeat the Han army's banners, but also damage the morale of the Manchu and Mongolian banners, so that those The Tatars know that they have no chance of winning against the firepower of our army!"
Liu Yan is determined to fight to the end, while Huang Taiji is determined to fight to the end.
There are variables.
Dorgon and Duoduo successively sent people to ask Huang Taiji for an order to order the banners of the Han army to rush forward immediately to defeat the artillery battalion of the New Army. If the bombardment continues, the banners of the Han army will definitely be defeated. It is better to fight while they can still , using tens of thousands of Han troops under each banner to exchange Liu Yan's artillery camp!
Huang Taiji's face was ashen. Dorgon and Duoduo's suggestions seemed reasonable, but they were a trap.
Huang Taiji knew very well what the flags of the Han army were. He might still be able to hold on to long-distance shooting. But if those soldiers and horses were to charge under artillery fire and face Liu Yan's cannon formation, those tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would definitely collapse. , when tens of thousands of defeated troops roll back, what will be the reaction of the Mongolian banners behind them?
Huang Taiji knew very well that those Mongols would never fight to the death like before, but would retreat together.
Now in the hearts of the Mongolian banners, Huang Taiji is a dying "tyrant" who only knows how to push the so-called descendants of Genghis Khan to serve as cannon fodder; while Hauge is a fierce and courageous successor.
Neither father and son were "good people" to the Mongols, so Dorgon and Duoduo were able to convince the Mongolian banners to take advantage of Huang Taiji's serious illness to stand up and sing the opposite during the war!
So Huang Taiji said coldly: "Prince Mingrui and Prince Yu are on standby. Don't worry about other things!"
Dorgon, who received Huang Taiji's reply, had a smile on his face. At this time, Duduo actually broke away from his own army formation and came to the Chinese army at Zhengbai Banner in Manzhou. He said to Dorgon: "Your Majesty is really calm. Don't be angry, does he really think that today's Daqing Iron
Riding, can they still defeat Liu Yan's army of hundreds of thousands? "
Dorgon said coldly: "When Liu Yan led tens of thousands of elites to participate in the Battle of Jinzhou, I had already seen that this man was uncontrollable. Now Liu Yan has hundreds of thousands of elites under his command, and he has countless money and grain. There is no need to worry about logistical supplies, how can such a person defeat him?"
"Hmph! Our Majesty is still not courageous enough. Although the Wuzhen Chaoha Camp has been set up in each banner of the Han Army and seems to be equipped with a large number of firearms, the soldiers and horses of the Han Army Flags are all soft-footed shrimps and cannot be mounted. On the countertop!”
Duduo agreed: "Yes, as Prince Rui advocated, all banners of the Han army should be fully weaponized, just like Liu Yan's new army, equipped with various powerful firearms, and then push these firearms The Han army’s soldiers and horses fight against the Ming army!”
Dorgon said disdainfully: "Now that there is no such thing, Your Majesty seems to put great emphasis on Han people. There are many Han people studying in the court, but in his heart he is actually very defensive and even afraid of Han people, so he will never I agree with this king’s suggestion.”
Duduo asked: "Then this battle..."
Dorgon whispered: "In this battle, you and I must leave hope for the Qing Dynasty!"
At the front, the firepower of Qian Qian's artillery camp has weakened, and at the same time the firepower of the Han army's banners has also weakened. Both sides have entered their peak period. The gunners of the artillery battalions on both sides have gone out and suffered casualties, and the remaining gunners are exhausted. After all, Loading artillery of this era was a very labor-intensive task, not to mention loading under enemy fire.
At this time, Qian Qian's face was black and gray, all of which were covered by
The armor and clothes on his body were stained by smoke and fireworks, as if he had just crawled out of a pile of coals.
"Immediately report to the governor that our artillery battalion's rocket launcher ammunition is out of ammunition and the red-coated cannon's chief artillery is overheated. The bombardment must be stopped immediately!"
"yes."
After saying that, Qian Qian looked at the flag artillery units of the Han army in the distance. Those two Tatars were not much better. Just now he saw two artillery blasts one after another. It is estimated that the artillery of each flag of the Han army was Soon, they will all shut down one after another.
"The war has just begun!"
After receiving the report from Qian Zhen, Liu Yan immediately ordered all the red cannons to stop firing, and ordered Qian Zhen to withdraw all the red cannons and rocket launcher vehicles. The Tiger Zun Cannon and Fran Cannon decided on their own when to retreat depending on the fighter planes. withdraw.
"Supervisor, after our army's artillery stops bombarding, it is estimated that the artillery fire of the Han army's banners will not last long."
Liu Yan nodded. Although the artillery of each banner of the Han army were imitation Fran cannons, those Fran cannons also needed to be cooled. Qian Qian can also use the alternating firing of rocket launchers, red cannons, and Fran cannons to give various artillery pieces a window period for intermittent cooling. Although it is a temporary solution, it can also delay some time.
But the artillery brigades of each banner of the Han army were not good. Under the continuous attack of the New Army artillery battalion, those artillerymen no longer cared about cooling down or not. They only looked forward to reloading and shooting as soon as possible, as if this was the only way to ensure their own safety. Only in order to survive.
boom!
There was a loud noise ahead, and flames were seen coming from a Fran machine cannon of the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner. The gun body was immediately enveloped in flames, and the gun body was blown into many pieces of iron.
Shooting out in all directions, a dozen gunners around were immediately knocked down.
This is another artillery piece that exploded!
"Your Majesty, all banners of the Han army have sent people to ask for permission. Do you allow each banner's artillery team to stop shelling and wait for the artillery to cool down?"
At this time, in the Qing army's center, Huang Taiji looked ahead with a solemn face, and then said: "Order the Han army's flags to stop bombarding, and all the Han army's flags and troops will be pressed forward to attack Liu Yan's front army."
"Order the soldiers and horses of all Mongolian banners to follow immediately. After the Han army's banners are defeated, each banner attacks Liu Yan's tribe one by one, and orders the warriors of each banner to fight to the end!"
