Chapter 466: Under the Seat of Dongguang County (1)

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

Ji Feng ordered the cannon to be fired at the city wall of Dongguang County.

Fifty new-style cannons of 90 millimeter caliber and one hundred old-style Shenwu field cannons, the city wall of Dongguang County was shrouded in a sea of fire.

"Newspaper"

"Qiyu Regent, the Ming army has begun to attack Dongguang County!" Ten miles away from Dongguang County, a man full of scouts came to Dolgon's body to report on his horse.

"Good! Command, the army attacked! Dorgon nodded and ordered.

Under Dongguang County, Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou were looking at Dongguang County from afar.

To tell the truth, it is also an artillery battalion, but Chang Shunhou is very envious of the artillery battalion of the Ying Long Army, look at others, although it seems that there are only fifty guns, but whether it is the rate of fire, the firing range, or the power is more powerful than the artillery battalion of his Seventh Army, hey, in the end, it is the old equipment that the Ying Long Army eliminated before, although his Seventh Army is not the Ying Long Army.

It is also true that the soldiers of the Ying Long Army are all selected from one out of ten, well-trained and experienced in combat, and his Seventh Army is not comparable, even the same vanguard army, they have to listen to the Ying Long Army.

He felt uncomfortable, he thought, if the Seventh Army performed well and made military achievements, it could overpower the Ying Long Army, and I don't know if the emperor would upgrade his Seventh Army to the Ying Long Army. Thinking about the treatment of Ying Longjun, if it was possible, he would be desperate to take the seventh army with him.

If you have ideas in your head, you will have a rush in your mind.

Chang Shun thought about it, and suddenly smiled, his mental outlook was different, which caused Ji Feng's side eyes on the side.

"Commander Chang, do you think we can capture Dongguang County before the arrival of the emperor's main army, and clear the way for the main army to attack Cangzhou!" Ji Feng asked with a smile.

"Of course you can, as long as you and my First Army and Seventh Army work hard, just Dongguang County, you can go down in an instant!" Chang Shunhou said confidently.

Ji Feng nodded, Chang Shunhou has self-confidence, how could he not have it.

Just when Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou were discussing how to quickly capture Dongguang County, suddenly, their faces changed.

"Rumble"

"Not good! It is the voice of the iron horseman, there is no doubt that it must be the Qing army! Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou also heard what the sound was in an instant.

Sure enough, as soon as they finished speaking, countless Manchu and Mongol figures rushed out from all directions, killing the First and Seventh Armies.

"Commander Chang, it seems that it is impossible for us to capture Dongguang County before the arrival of the main army, the Manchu people are not at the right time, but it is better to kill the Manchurians!" Ji Feng smiled, compared to Dongguang County, he was more interested in killing some Manchurians.

Chang Shun nodded, he also had the same intention.

"Order, the artillery battalion turns the muzzle of the cannon and bombards the full people!" Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou ordered together.

The Manchurian cavalry charged quickly, and before the artillery battalion could turn its guns, they slaughtered in front of the vanguard army.

Not only the cavalry of the Manchus and Mongols, but also countless infantry of the Qing and Han Banner Army were behind.

"Shoot!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The generals of the armies gave the order to open fire, and a dense stream of bullets and lead bullets swept out.

Suddenly, the Manchu and Mongol cavalry were hit and fell to the ground.

Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou both sneered, and the Manchurians still thought that they could help the current Ming army by charging with iron horses, and their flesh and blood were like eggs and stones when they touched bullets and lead bullets.

After several rounds of intensive fire from the First and Seventh Armies, the Manchu and Mongol cavalry had to avoid the range of the First and Seventh Armies and replace the Qing Army's Han Banner infantry charge.

"Kill"

Countless Qing army Han banner army foot soldiers, shouting to kill the heavens, but unfortunately their fate was worse than that of the Manchus and the Mongol iron cavalry, under the intensive fire of the first and seventh armies, like harvested wheat, fell one stubble after another.

At this time, the artillery battalions of the First Army and the Seventh Army had also adjusted their muzzles.

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

Powerful shells exploded in the Qing army, and many Qing soldiers were swept away in the explosion, with severed limbs and arms, and blood mist filling the entire battlefield.

Just like the Shura region, the blows of the First Army and the Seventh Army made the Qing army tremble.

On an inconspicuous high slope, Dolgon also watched the battle here, with an indifferent expression, as if he did not care about the large number of casualties at the front.

Of course, Dolgon can plot here to annihilate Ji Feng and the other 40,000 vanguard army, and he will not be without some means.

"Dispatch artillery and bombard the Ming army!" Dolgon's face was expressionless and ordered.

On a hillside on the east side of the battlefield, one hundred and fifty imitation Shenwu field cannons of the Qing army had already been lined up, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the battlefield.

Although the Shenwu field cannon imitated by the Qing army is not as good as the original Shenwu field cannon of the Ming Dynasty, the whole cannon body weighs more than 100 catties and is relatively rough, but the range and power are not much worse than the Shenwu field cannon of the Ming army, and it also has a range of about 2,000 meters.

"Fire!" The commander of the artillery battalion of the Qing army roared and waved the flag down.

"Boom, boom, boom" The hillside was shaking, and one hundred and fifty shells pierced the void and attacked the First Army and the Seventh Army under the city of Dongguang County.

The shells exploded in the midst of the 40,000 vanguard troops, and in an instant, the 1st and 7th armies were taken by surprise and suffered many casualties.

Even, a cannonball exploded not far from Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou, if it wasn't for the soldiers next to him in time, Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou, the two commanders of the vanguard army, would have been injured.

Getting up from the ground, Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou's faces were not good-looking.

About twenty breaths later, the Qing army shelled again.

"Boom, boom, boom" another 150 shells struck and exploded in the vanguard army.

This time, Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou looked at it squarely, the shells came from a hillside on the east side, about 1,500 meters away from the battlefield, where the Qing army had placed artillery.

"Damn! Order, artillery battalion fire back! Ji Feng scolded.

Now he also realized that Jinyiwei had passed on the information that Daming's Shenwu field cannon might have been imitated by the Manchurians, it seems that this matter is true, when he first heard it, he thought it was Daming's Shenwu field cannon that fired, but he didn't expect it to be the Qing army.

Chang Shunhou was also extremely surprised, the Manchus actually had such a powerful cannon, it seems that this battle is not as simple as they imagined, the Manchus have already premeditated.

The artillery of the Qing army was a great threat, and the artillery battalions of the First Army and the Seventh Army urgently turned their guns to destroy the Qing artillery on the eastern hillside.

On that inconspicuous high slope, Dolgon, who was watching the battle, also noticed the movement of the Ming army.

"Hmph, the show has just begun!" Dorgon sneered.
