Every cannonball dropped takes away a life.
Hundreds of cannonballs fell, killing and injuring a large number of Mongolian cavalry.
"You, why do you have so many cannons!" Hutuktu Khan on the platform swallowed the saliva in his mouth as he looked at the sound of cannons everywhere.
Only by standing on the battlefield can you feel for yourself how terrifying the roar of hundreds of cannons is.
At the other end of the monocular, one could clearly see the bodies of Mongolian soldiers being torn apart by cannons.
He had not seen Ming Dynasty cannons before, but this was the first time he felt that cannons were such a terrifying weapon of war.
Zhang Hong smiled at Khutuktu Khan and said, "These cannons are specially designed to deal with the slave bandits who invaded this time. Unfortunately, the Mongolian soldiers who came were replaced by Huang Taiji's Eight Banners soldiers, which was enough to make Huang Taiji feel heartache. "
Hutuktu Khan's face darkened when he heard this.
The Mongolian soldier served as a vanguard for the counterfeit gold to die on the grassland, causing him, the great grassland man, to lose all face.
"General Zhang, you have used all your cannons on these Mongolian soldiers. What if the Eight Banners soldiers attack again at the same time? Are there still some cannons hidden?" Namuzhong turned her head and looked at Zhang Hong.
She believed that there was no way that the real enemies on the Tiger Flag side were Huang Taiji and the Pseudo-Jin. Those Mongolians who followed Huang Taiji to the west were at most the thugs of the Pseudo-Jin.
Zhang Hong glanced at Namu Zhong and said with a smile: "Concubine, you will know if you keep reading. Whether it is a Mongolian soldier or a slave soldier, as long as you dare to come, you must be prepared to leave and never return."
Hutuktu Khan's face turned darker, and he always felt that Zhang Hong was connoting him.
"Then I would like to wish General Zhang a victory in advance and defeat the puppet-golden coalition." Na Muzhong complimented.
That’s what I hope in my heart.
Hearing this, Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Then I will take advantage of the concubine's good wishes and wish you and my family will defeat the slave army as soon as possible."
Hutuktu on the side had a face full of sweat.
He knew that even if the Tiger Character Banner defeated Huang Taiji, it had nothing to do with the Chahar tribe, because the Chahar tribe he led had been defeated and collapsed before that.
He even suspected that Hu Ziqi deliberately let him lose to Huang Taiji, just to see the joke between him and Chahar's tribe.
"Great Khan, do you think we will win this battle, or will Huang Taiji win the final victory?" Zhang Hong looked at Khutuktu Khan with a smile on his face.
Hutuktu Khan, who did not expect to be asked, was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said: "On the battlefield, one always worries about defeat before thinking about victory, and the final victory depends on the final result."
In his heart, he neither hoped that Tiger Flag would win this battle, nor that Huang Taiji would lose it.
Losing both sides is the outcome he most hopes to see.
"According to the Khan's wishes, let's continue watching." Zhang Hong raised the monocular telescope in front of his eyes and continued to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
Hutuktu Khan also raised the monocular telescope in his hand, and said without forgetting: "General Zhang, don't be too happy, Huang Taiji's Eight Banners soldiers have not been dispatched yet."
Seeing the Mongolian soldiers killed and injured under the muzzle of the cannon, as the Great Khan, he felt heartbroken on the one hand, and resentful on the other.
Those who died were all Mongol warriors, his subjects as the Great Khan, and in the future they were most likely to be the string-controllers under his command as the Great Khan.
The sound of artillery continued, and Mongolian cavalry continued to fall.
The cannon on the side of the Tiger Flag fired a second shot, and the Mongolian cavalry was defeated.
The roar of more than 300 cannons was so terrifying that the Mongolian cavalry fled with more than a thousand casualties.
Even Dorgon, who was following these Mongolian cavalry, did not expect that the Mongolian soldiers would be defeated so quickly, and was caught off guard.
"Arrow, don't let the Mongolian soldiers attack us." Although Dorgon is young, he reacts very quickly in battle.
When it was discovered that the Mongolian soldiers were defeated, he immediately formed a formation with his troops and began to use bows and arrows to clear out any defeated Mongolian soldiers who wanted to approach.
The bows and arrows used by the flag soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner are not the Mongolian cavalry bows, but the more powerful long-bows.
Bows, and slave thieves have attached great importance to armaments since they were old slaves, and the arrows they use are all of the best feathers.
The archers held their bows and fired arrows much faster than the cannons. They killed and injured two to three hundred Mongolian soldiers who were approaching, effectively preventing more Mongolian soldiers from approaching.
At this time, Dorgon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise the soldiers and horses of the two white flags would not have used the tiger flag to take action, and the defeated Mongolian soldiers would have suffered heavy losses.
"Chang Kechi, do you want to continue the attack?" Du Du came to Dorgon's side and asked.
As the eldest son of Chu Ying, Du Du is Dorgon's nephew, but he is older than Dorgon. He is also a small flag owner under the Xiangbai Banner.
Originally, he was the flag owner of the white flag. Later, Huang Taiji became the Great Khan. The two white flags and the two yellow flags changed each other. His identity as the flag owner of the white flag became the small flag owner of the white flag.
The two white flags have become the two yellow flags, and the flag owners have become Huang Taiji and his son Hauge. The two yellow flags have become two white flags, and Azige and Duduo have become the two white flag owners.
Du Du, once the eldest son and grandson of Lao Nu, could not even keep his identity as the leader of a banner.
"Continue to attack." Dorgon retreated unwillingly.
This was his first battle to become the leader of the Zhengbai Banner. He didn't want people to think that he could become the leader of the Zhengbai Banner just because of his brother Azig's relationship.
Hearing this, Du Du hesitated for a moment and said, "From the sounds of it, the tiger thieves probably have hundreds of cannons. We don't have carriages to defend against the cannons. I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties if we can't get close."
Dudu is older and has more combat experience. He does not support Dorgon's idea of continuing to attack the Tiger Flag defense line.
"Dudu, look over there!" Dorgon pointed his finger in one direction of the Tiger Flag defense line for Dudu.
Du Du looked in the direction of his finger.
Dorgon said: "Did you see that? If my prediction is correct, that big banner should be where the tiger thief general is. As long as we kill him and cut off the tiger thief's flag, we will win this battle." You can definitely win."
After hearing this, Du Du looked carefully in the direction of Dorgon's finger.
Soon, he also saw the big banner that Dorgon mentioned.
Just as Dorgon said, the place where the great banner should be should be where the general of the tiger-character banner is, which made him hesitate.
He also understood that in such a large-scale battle, once something went wrong with the commander's flag, the blow to morale would be huge, and even a change from victory to defeat was nothing new.
"Don't hesitate, this is our last chance to win this battle." Dorgon said, staring at Dudu.
The leader of the Xiangbai Banner, Duduo, did not come, causing the Xiangbai Banner to be controlled by Dudu.
Without the support of Du Du and Xiang Bai Qi, and relying only on Zheng Bai Qi himself, he had no confidence in breaking through the defense line and reaching the banner of the tiger-character flag commander.
