Chapter 819: The Decisive Battle on the Bala Plain (3)
Since the Qing army opened the cannon first, the decisive battle was opened in advance. δΈΞΞζη½γ.γ
The shells exploded in the Ottoman army that had not yet completed the assembly, and in order to achieve the maximum lethal effect, most of the 300 cannons of the Qing army fired flowering shells with powerful lethality.
The Ottoman artillery was taken care of.
"Boom, boom, boom----"
Shells killed one Ottoman soldier after another.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a flowering shell directly hit a cannon weighing 3,000 catties in the Ottoman Empire, instantly knocking the cannon to the ground.
In another place, a solid shell also hit an Ottoman cannon, and with a bang, there was a loud sound of steel and steel colliding, sparks splashed, and the cannon instantly disintegrated and was destroyed by the solid shell.
"Fight back! Counterattack ---" with the roar of some Ottoman generals.
The artillery, which was constantly moving forward, stopped, and fired in the direction of the Qing army's artillery.
"Boom! Rumble! "Boom ---" sporadic Ottoman artillery fired, firing mostly solid shells.
The solid bullet crossed the Qing army camp and immediately brought out a bloody road!
However, the artillery of the Qing army opened fire significantly faster, and only twenty breaths apart, the 300 cannons of the Qing army opened fire again.
"Boom, boom, boom----" More than a dozen Ottoman cannons were destroyed.
The Ottoman Empire does have more than 200 cannons, but these cannons have not yet begun to be in place, and the firing range is not as good as the red-coated cannons, and naturally it is not as good as the imitation Shenwu cannons of the Qing army, and the Qing cannons shroud all the Ottoman cannons in range, but only some of the Ottoman cannons can reach the Qing cannons, and they are more aimed at the dense places of the Qing army.
Basically, the Qing artillery shelled three rounds, and the Ottoman artillery could only carry out one round of shelling, and more and more Ottoman artillery was destroyed.
In the Ottoman army, the face of the commander-in-chief Getjevic turned dark.
"How could the Manchurians have so many powerful cannons! At that time, there were only about 30 such cannons, but now it seems that they should be about 300, is this the reason why Dolgon dared to fight my Ottoman army in the plains? Getjevic guessed.
"It's a pity, Dolgon is wrong, even if he has the advantage of cannons, the overall strength is my Ottoman army!" Gitjevic gritted his teeth.
"Attack with all your troops!" Getivich yelled and ordered.
"Rush, ----" The Ottoman army charged towards the Qing army under the artillery fire of the Qing army.
On the side of the Qing army, seeing the Ottoman army rushing over, Dorgon also began to order the Qing army to attack.
"According to the original plan, attack!" Dolgon gave an order, first 70,000 cavalry and 40,000 servant cavalry divided into two routes, each with 55,000 cavalry, not to fight the Ottoman army head-on, but to go around to the sides and flank the Ottoman army from both sides.
"Boom, Boom, Kill, ----" After the war horse galloped, Dolgon and other 110,000 iron horsemen galloped to both sides, leaving only 20,000 dragon breaker flint and 50,000 Persian flag infantry facing the attack of nearly 300,000 Ottoman troops.
Dolgon's strategy is very clever, since the overall strength is not as good as the Ottoman army, then it will not be hard to fight with the Ottoman army, 110,000 cavalry rely on mobility, constantly flanking on both sides of the Ottoman army, consuming the vital strength of the Ottoman army, 20,000 dragon breaking army flint team to protect 300 cannons continue to bombard the Ottoman army, the same continuous consumption of the Ottoman army's vital strength, as for the 50,000 Persian flags, it is also formed a defensive army formation, allowing the Ottoman army to attack, and the same defense continues to consume the Ottoman army's vital strength.
In general, Dolgon's strategy was to consume the living forces of the Ottoman army, and in the process, he would not fight the Ottoman army head-on.
After the "Xiu Xiu ----" circled the Ottoman army on both sides, the Qing cavalry began to shoot arrows at the Ottoman army in the middle.
"Ahh Yes! Ah---- "The dense rain of arrows killed and wounded hundreds of Ottoman soldiers at once, and threw several military formations at the very edge of the Ottoman army into chaos.
Gatjevic is worthy of being the top Ottoman player, and as soon as he saw Dorgon's layout, he immediately saw through Dorgon's purpose. This made Gatjivich look very ugly, but Gettievic was not helpless.
"The iron cavalry meets the Qing cavalry on the left, and the other armies continue to attack forward and destroy the Qing artillery!" Gaitevic ordered calmly.
"Boom Boom ----" immediately left about 37,000 Ottoman elite cavalry to meet a Qing cavalry on the left.
The other heavily armored iron shield corps, 15,000 musket teams, and 200,000 ordinary legions all pressed on the 300 Qing cannons and 20,000 flint spears of the Dragon Breaker Army that remained in place, as well as 50,000 Persian banners.
"Humph! Dolgon's strategy is indeed good, but it also has his fatal wound, that is, the cannon that remains in place, once the artillery of the Qing army is destroyed, Dolgon will have nothing to rely on, and he will definitely be defeated! In the Ottoman musketeers, Ghetewicz sneered.
What no one knew was that in order to prevent Dolgon from revealing his specific location, the commander of the Ottoman army, Ghetyivic, disguised himself as a general of the musket team and hid in the musket team to give orders.
Once the cannons were besieged and destroyed by the Ottoman army, Dolgon had less cannons to rely on, and in the face of the Ottoman army, the certainty of victory was almost non-existent.
However, there was a premise for this, and the premise was that the Ottoman army could destroy the 300 cannons that the Qing army had left in place but were protected by the flint team of 20,000 Dragon Breakers.
The battlefield where nearly 500,000 troops fought was tragic.
After the Qing cavalry on the left was met by nearly 40,000 Ottoman cavalry, it immediately lost the opportunity to continue to flank the other Ottoman troops in the middle, and had to fight with nearly 40,000 Ottoman cavalry.
Every moment, Qing cavalry or Ottoman cavalry are cut down and fallen from their horses by the other side!
On the right side, seeing this, the corners of Dolgon's mouth slightly hooked up a cold smile, if you want to defeat nearly 300,000 Ottoman troops, you still want to annihilate these nearly 40,000 Ottoman elite iron cavalry, so that the Ottoman army will lose mobility and will not be able to continue to contain the Qing iron cavalry.
"Let Aobai follow the plan and lure the Ottoman cavalry away from the outside of the battlefield!" Dolgon ordered, and it seemed that Dorgon already had a plan to annihilate nearly 40,000 Ottoman cavalry.
The heralds quickly passed Dolgon's orders to Aobai, who was engaged with the Ottoman cavalry on the left.
After receiving Dorgon's order, Aobai also showed a cold smile.
After a while, the 55,000 Qing troops engaged with the Ottoman cavalry on the left side consciously moved towards the edge of the battlefield on the left while engaging the Ottoman cavalry, but the Ottoman cavalry did not notice this at all, and also followed the Qing cavalry to move towards the left side of the battlefield while fighting, and soon they were about to leave the main battlefield.
The Ottoman cavalry commander had only one thought, and that was to defeat the Qing cavalry, especially the Manchu Eight Banners, and wash away the shame of being defeated by the same number of Manchu Eight Banners in the first battle between the two sides more than two years ago.
In the last big war, the two sides were ostensibly tied and each compromised. However, the Ottoman cavalry commander always felt that it was because his cavalry showed the reason for his defeat when he fought against the 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners, and this idea became a nightmare for the Ottoman cavalry commander in the past two years.
After all, before the appearance of the Manchu Eight Banners, his 40,000 Ottoman elite iron cavalry had always been the most powerful cavalry around the empire, and the Cossack cavalry was not their opponent, this was their honor, and they had to take it back.
