quick! quick! quick! Go faster...
Zhan Dai could already see the Ming army's artillery positions through the choking smoke! He saw the Ming army's artillery turning the thick barrels around, pointing them at him, and stuffing things into the black muzzles... He was stuffing shotgun shells!
Now the artillery of the Qing army has made great progress. Of course Zhan Dai knew that the Ming army artillerymen were stuffing terrible shotgun shells into the barrels! That's 12 pounds of shotgun! One shot of shotshell is packed with at least more than a hundred lead pieces... Nine 12-pound cannons can blast out more than a thousand lead pieces at a time!
If it hits two rounds... Zhan Dai can't even imagine it. All he can do now is to beat the horse under his crotch with a whip to make it run faster, and faster!
But no matter how hard he abused his horse, the Mongolian horse still couldn't increase its speed. This can't be blamed on the horse. The main reason is that Zhan Dai is too big and wears a 40-pound chainmail.
Zhan Dai is also one of the few Batulus in Manchuria. He can serve as a bodyguard for Dorgon. How can he be so small? This guy weighs at least 1,780 kilograms, plus the chainmail, helmet, carbine, saber, iron whip, eight-power bow, two pockets of arrowheads, horse gear, and other sundries, the total is 250 kilograms. It’s all over. And the Mongolian horse he rode weighed more than 700 kilograms at most... so the horse couldn't run fast even after being beaten with a whip!
Zhan Dai was not the only one who tortured his own horse to death. The Baya soldiers who refused to take off their chainmail armor and carried a bunch of debris were all trying to get in trouble with their own horses, risking their lives. Beat the horse. It's impossible not to fight. The Ming army on the opposite side has already loaded their shotguns and is about to open fire... Can this chain armor block the shotgun blasts from a 12-pound cannon? It doesn’t seem to work!
Rumble...
Zhan Dai saw a flash of fire in front of his eyes and a burst of thunder in his ears. It was like the earth was shaking!
He is still galloping, indicating that the good life is still there for the time being. However, he did not dare to look to the left and right for fear of being frightened by the scene of heavy casualties in front of him.
A lead bullet fired from a Hongxing three-year-old matchlock gun can beat a Manchu Baturu wearing two layers of heavy armor to a bloody pulp. Now, if it is replaced with a 12-pound cannon shot, it will not beat the person to pieces?
But Zhan Dai, who didn't dare to look back, was still frightened, because through the smoke he could vaguely see the Ming army's gunners reloading ammunition quickly.
Can't you go slower?
You are killing people! How big a sin it is to blast out a cannon, you will go to hell...
"Amitabha, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Blessed by Saint Kong, Blessed by Heavenly Father!" Zhan Dai had no choice but to pray to God and worship Buddha.
Rumble...
There was another loud noise that shook the earth and the mountains. Zhan Dai was shaken so much that his ears screamed. Stars were flying in front of his eyes. His nose and mouth were filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke.
But apart from these, Zhan Dai didn't feel any discomfort, no pain or itching... This shows that Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Lord, Saint Kong and Heavenly Father Emperor God were still helpful.
He put away his thoughts and looked forward attentively. In the thick smoke, he saw the Ming artillerymen escaping, running as fast as rabbits. At first glance, they were not good soldiers!
"Long live the great uncle of the Qing Emperor!"
Zhan Dai held a carbine in his hand and shouted loudly. The war horse seemed to feel its owner and gave a cry. It spread its hooves and galloped forward. In a blink of an eye, it rushed through the fortifications made of sandbags and rushed forward. Entered the artillery position of the Ming Army.
The Ming army's artillery all slipped away very fast, and they all slipped into the two infantry phalanxes spread out behind the artillery positions... And the front lines of these two infantry phalanxes were filled with musketeers! The Hongxing three-year-old matchlock gun with the bayonet attached has been laid flat, and the matchlock has been lit!
Why are there still muskets? After the shooting, you still shoot! What a bully...
Seeing these muskets, Zhan Dai knew something was wrong and quickly shouted: "Amitabha, Immeasurable God..."
Just when the word "Zun" for "Infinite Heavenly Lord" was shouted out, Zhan Dai saw a row of firelights flashing in front of him, and was hit hard by something on his chest, followed by a sharp pain, and then a head. He fell down and fell heavily to the ground...
There was severe pain in my chest and back at the same time, and it became very difficult to breathe. Everything in front of me became blurry, but my hearing was still there, including the sound of gunshots, cannons, shouts, screams, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. The sound became a mass.
Finally, he heard the sharp sound of metal beating... Is this the sound of gold?
Ming Jin retreats his troops!
The last sound Zhan Dai heard was the signal for the Qing army to retreat!
Because the camp behind Emperor Taishu Duduo is being attacked by the Ming army's "black gun and mule soldiers"! Moreover, Yue Le's infantry could no longer carry it, and was defeated by the 48th Infantry Battalion commanded by Gao Jie and Qin Mingtao (Qin Mingtao had 16 battalions, and he had left two battalions as reserves before, and now they all moved in) using human sea tactics to defeat them. . The roundabout Nikan also ran into an infantry regiment belonging to the 15th Division of the Ming Army. Although it was not defeated, it was unable to break through.
Although the elite cavalry under Zhan Dai withstood two rounds of shotgun fire and a burst of musket fire, they still exhausted the kinetic energy of the impact and fell into a bitter battle with the Ming army infantry. Even if they could kill the cannon fire, The door won't help.
Duduo knew that he had lost the battle of Shengshengdian... The Qing Dynasty was over!
But Duduo didn't mean to break the pot, because the end of the Qing Dynasty did not mean that his love for Xinjieluo and Duduo was over.
He also has the fertile land of Guanwai, two to three million people, tens of thousands of troops, two vassal states of Mongolia and Korea, and foreign aid from Zhbania.
So he still has the capital to survive. Even if he can't become the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he can still retreat and become the King of the Golden Khan... If that doesn't work, he can still surrender to the Ming Dynasty!
"Go and call Yue Le back!"
The first order given by Duduo, who had already come down from the watchtower, was to find Yue Le.
He watched on the high platform for almost a whole day, and of course he saw that Yue Le was a rare general. Although he was defeated now, it was still glorious, so he had to take Yue Le back to the outside world and entrust him with important tasks.
"Take the troops back to the camp!" The next order he gave was to withdraw to the main camp.
This is the advantage of forming an array outside the gate of the camp. If it doesn't work, you can retract and carry it a little. As long as you carry it until dark, you can move towards Beijing.
"Go and give orders to Nikan," Duduo said again, "Order Nikan to lead his troops across the canal and make a feint toward Tianjin Wei. Tell Nikan not to enter Tianjin and cross the Wei River from the Dagukou City area. , and then go north to Jieshi Mountain!"
The third order was given to Nikan. Nikan still has several thousand cavalry on hand, which can just cross the canal, and then move towards Tianjin Wei to attract Shi Kefa's black lancers to pursue.
Shi Kefa would definitely not want Nikan's cavalry to rescue Emperor Shunzhi who was trapped in Tianjin Guard - that was a trapped big fish!
After some arrangements, Duduo returned to his camp under the protection of the remaining Xiaoqi camp cavalry.
At this time, there were many public and private soldiers in the Qing army camp. They were all in chaos because they were attacked by the Ming army's black spearmen.
Seeing Duduo coming back, these chaotic coated slaves quickly settled down.
Duduo immediately issued another order: "All the coated slaves participating in the war will raise their flags, and they will be granted land after returning outside the customs!"
Now he doesn't care about his financial income or whether the Eight Banners soldiers below have slaves available... If he can't pass the current test, he will be dead!
At the same time, the battle outside the Qing army camp has come to an end!
First, the infantry and artillery of the Qing army collapsed across the board. After Yue Le withdrew from the battle, the soldiers below completely collapsed and became the target of the Ming army, which had superior strength.
Then thousands of Qing army's forward battalion and Xiaoqi battalion cavalry who faced Wang Qi on the left wing of the Ming army withdrew from the battle. They were all cavalry, and Wang Qi was an infantryman, so naturally they could not stop the opponent's retreat.
Finally, the cavalry of the 7,000 forward battalion and Xiaoqi battalion commanded by Nikan crossed the Grand Canal (there were some bridges on the canal, and Nikan found one) and roared towards the direction of Tianjin Wei. They seemed to be rushing. Went with Emperor Shunzhi!
