An unexpected scene appeared on the battlefield for Duduo, the "Prince of Touching Gold" of the Qing Dynasty. Although he invested 9,000 Green Camp soldiers and 2,000 Eight Banners soldiers to hold down the formation, he still fell into a bitter battle.
The green soldiers who were fighting under the circular fortress in front of them were just struggling to hold on. The green soldiers who had attacked the top of the circular fort were about to succeed, but they were actually forced to step back by the outburst of the Ming army. Backed off.
"Blessed by Saint Kong... you are invulnerable!"
The shouts of the Ming army suddenly became extremely loud! It turned out that the Ming army, which was fighting the Qing green camp on the side of the round fort, had gained an overwhelming advantage and began to launch a general offensive, but Liu Liangzuo's green camp soldiers could not resist it at all!
"A bunch of trash!" Duduo's face was ashen and he cursed through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, this servant invites you to fight!"
"Your Majesty, let the slave come up!"
Immediately, two Jia La E Zhen stepped forward to lead their men into battle.
"Zhuoluo, bring people up..." Duduo raised his whip and pointed at the C-shaped fortress, "I must capture this fortress no matter what! I want to see what those What’s in the sack?”
Jia La, whose name is Zhuo Luo, was really stunned, "Your Majesty, He Luohui is in a tight situation..."
Duduo glared at him: "Since He Luohui is Gushan Ezhen, you don't need to worry about him! You go to attack the city. If you can't take it, I will take your Jia La Ezhen!"
"Cha!" Zhuo Luo didn't dare to talk nonsense, he responded and got up.
At the same time, He Luohui already knew that the Green Camp troops commanded by Liu Liangzuo had been defeated. However, he did not panic. Instead, he ordered the four Niulu Eight Banners soldiers under his command to be divided into two groups. One group mounted the horse; the other group shot arrows from a distance on one side, keeping a certain distance from the Ming army. Arrows shot down the Ming army under the protection of Confucius.
Shi Dewei was also always paying attention to the Eight Banners soldiers who were supervising the battle. Even though they only numbered in the thousands, their combat effectiveness was more powerful than the five thousand Green Camp soldiers!
"Form up! Form a big formation quickly...the firecrackers are in front, the spears are in the middle, the bows and arrows are behind, and the sword players protect the left and right!"
Seeing that the Green Camp soldiers were almost defeated, Shi Dewei did not dare to pursue any more and immediately ordered the troops to form a formation. More than 3,000 people quickly formed a large rectangular formation. While they were forming formation, He Luohui's Eight Banners soldiers did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. Half of them still fired from a distance, while the other half mounted their horses and did not get close to the attack, but just watched from a distance.
When the Ming army's cannon soldiers were in place, He Luohui even ordered the archers to retreat again, sixty or seventy steps away, and fired from a distance with light arrows.
At the same time, twenty or thirty cavalry were sent out to take in the defeated Green Camp soldiers... These Green Camp soldiers were not disposable, they could still be reused.
Now He Luohui has two purposes. One is to "keep an eye on" the three thousand dead soldiers of the Ming Army and prevent them from joining the battle for the C-shaped fortress.
The second is waiting for the Hongyi cannon!
When Liu Liangzuo's troops were in a bitter battle, he sent someone to Duduo to ask for the Red Yi artillery. The Manchus' level of coordination with infantry, cavalry and artillery these days was not only better than that of the Ming army at the same time, but even better than themselves in history. All future generations will be strong.
In their hands, heavy artillery like the Hongyi Cannon was not only a weapon for siege, but could also be used in field battles, and the effect was very good.
Because the cavalry could not defeat the opponent's Ming army, they could only fight in formation when facing the Eight Banners soldiers. The formation of infantry is the best target for the Hongyi artillery. It can sweep away a large area!
At the same time, with superior cavalry, the Qing army could control the battlefield, and could calmly transport and deploy Hongyi cannons on the battlefield, thus making up for the shortcomings of the Hongyi cannons being too bulky.
Although the Ming army also has many Hongyi cannons, they cannot be used like the Qing army - how mobile the Eight Banners soldiers are! There is no room for you to slowly pull up the cannon and set up the cannon. Before you can set up the cannon, they will move. It is also possible that a charge directly captured the cannon!
Therefore, the Ming army's use of 12-pound Hongyi cannons against the Eight Banners soldiers in field battles was not very useful, and they could only use light 3-pound regimental cannons.
Shi Dewei, who had never fought against the Qing army, did not know how well the Hongyi cannons were used. Seeing that the Eight Banners soldiers were only shooting arrows from a distance and did not cause much harm to his side, he was still wondering whether to take advantage of Kong The saint is still blessing everyone with the opportunity to meet the Eight Banners soldiers for a while?
"Dangdangdang..."
While Stewie was thinking about it, a sound of metal tapping suddenly sounded in his ears. The voice came from behind him... Is this Ming Jin withdrawing his troops?
Shi Dewei quickly turned his head to look at a solid gun platform on the west side of the main city of Qufu, and saw a red flag pointing at the position between the gun platform and the east gate of the C-shaped castle (also the only city gate) - this was standing on the high ground. Shi Kefa who was at the scene saw the Eight Banners soldiers pulling the Hongyi cannon towards Shi Dewei's headquarters, so he quickly ordered his adopted son to move the troops and hide next to the gun platform. If that doesn't work, hide behind the gun platform and rely on the gun platform to resist the bombardment of the Hongyi cannon.
"Want to run away? It's quite strict..." He Luohui watched as the large square formation three to four hundred steps away began to slowly disperse, not in a rush, but in an extremely orderly manner.
Unlike the model regiment of the New Army that combined fire muskets and pikemen in an infantry battalion, Shi Kefa's standard was to form separate fire muskets into a battalion-level pure team, so they had no melee capabilities, so they were The first group to retreat.
The remaining more than 2,000 people formed eight square formations in battalion units and retreated slowly. While returning it, he screamed: Blessed by Saint Kong... He is invulnerable!
No matter how you look at it, it’s a bit evil!
"Gu Shan Ezhen, what should we do?" Niu Lu Ezhen, who was next to He Luohui, asked at this time.
They are at a disadvantage in this battle today! Although the Eight Banners soldiers and horses suffered no losses, the Green Camp soldiers were severely beaten. Not to mention the loss of 1,300 to 200 people, even Liu Liangzuo was missing? I don’t know if he died or was captured? If someone wants to catch him, will he become a third minister again? In fact, this guy is still very lucky. He fell unconscious on the battlefield, but no one came to make up for it. At night, he crawled back to the Qing army camp by himself. ...
Just when He Luohui was thinking about whether to let the Eight Banners soldiers attack, one of Duoduo's white-armored soldiers flew over to deliver the order: "Gushan Ezhen, the prince asked you to gather the green camp soldiers and escort them to attack the fortress. !”
Fighting a fort?
He Luohui was stunned, why haven't he been defeated yet? Only then did he notice that there were bursts of killing sounds, cries, golden drums... and the roar of artillery fire coming from the C-shaped bunker!
Why is there still roaring artillery fire? Who is setting off the cannon?
He Luohui knew immediately that something was wrong!
The only city gate of this round fortress opens behind the buttocks, facing the gun platform of the main city of Qufu. Therefore, it is impossible for the Qing army's Hongyi artillery to be transported in... Then the one who fires the artillery now must be the Ming army!
The Ming army actually placed cannons in this weird fortress. This is too insidious!
The insidious man was Liu Zhaoji, a military officer from the Liao Army and a commander Shi Kefa relied heavily on. He entered the No. C fort with five squatting tiger cannons, but they were not used to defend the city. Instead, he placed the cannons on the gate tower of the No. C fort, with the muzzles pointing inwards... ..This is to fight hard until the fortress is lost and then try to trick the opponent again!
And Liu Liangzuo's brother Liu Liangchen happened to hit the muzzle of Liu Zhaoji's gun! Because Duduo sent warriors from the real Eight Banners up, he, the copycat Eight Banners, could only lead his troops to fight.
I don’t know if the effect of the real Eight Banners supervising the battle was better. Liu Liangchen’s personal offensive actually rushed to the bottom of the city gate tower in one fell swoop. Just when Liu Liangchen was about to attack the city gate tower in one go, five people who were ambushing on the city gate tower. The attack cannons roared at the same time.
Countless iron beads and iron lumps were sprayed out from the muzzle and danced around, forming an iron curtain of death. In an instant, they knocked down a large number of the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Camp soldiers who were rushing at the front!
