Chapter 610: Main Battlefield

On Tian Bin's side, he actually fought harder than Tian Xian.

The weapons and equipment on his side are actually not more advantageous than those on Duolong's side, because everyone came out of the big family of the Qing army, and the weapons and equipment in the big family of the Qing army came from Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou belonged to the Qing Dynasty, since his arsenal successfully copied the Jingai 1 arquebus of the Huaxia Army, Dolgon transferred most of the backbone craftsmen of his arsenal and established a yamen in Yanjing.

But this yamen is definitely not as efficient and strict as the yamen under Feng Quan's governance, many people are some of the Qing princes arranged to come in to work, in order to grasp this part of the financial resources, yes, the poorer the people, the people who come from a cold place, the more greedy, the people sent by these princes into this yamen continue to squeeze those craftsmen, the craftsmen have changed from a craftsman who is highly valued by Hong Chengchou to the slaves of the princes.

This yamen from a hard-working yamen to the Ming Dynasty rotten to the root of the money bag, all kinds of systems in front of these princes privileged class in front of the nothing, so all kinds of cut corners, all kinds of negative sabotage, and craftsmen self-cherishing drama continues to stage, a few years later has become a complete Ming Dynasty workshop, after Shunzhi took over, although after rectification, but there is not much improvement.

The craftsmen did not develop new weapons and equipment, but ate the old book, and it was still very good to build one or two exquisite muskets for Shangguan, and the quality was good, but the firearms used by the soldiers were a little better than the Ming Dynasty's firecrackers and the Qing Dynasty's bird guns, which was equivalent to the version of the beginning of the Jin Reform 1. At most, it can reach more than 0.6 versions, and it can't beat the quality of version 0.8 when Hong Chengchou handed them over, and because Hong Chengchou has always been managed by Feng Quan, the quality has not only not decreased, but in the past few years, it has developed the equivalent of version 1.2 of the arquebus 1, which is higher than the arquebus version 1 of the Huaxia Army.

Although it is a small improvement, it can be much better than the Jingai 1 arquebus that has long been discontinued by the Huaxia Army, at least one less process, the quality has been improved to the point of 500 rounds without failure, and the firing range is also ten meters farther, but compared to the convenience of the Huaxia Army's Jingai 2 arquebus, it is still far inferior, but such a version Hong Chengchou will not give Shunzhi, he himself is only a small amount of build, and the craftsmen have already moved the factory to a remote mountain in Yangzhou Prefecture, producing a small amount and quietly equipping elite troops.

At this point, Hong Chengchou is still following in the footsteps of the Huaxia Army.

For this reason, the quality of the weapons used by Tian Bin and them was inferior, because it was a forbidden army, they could get the 0.8 version of the good Jingai 1 arquebus, but because of the abruptness of the incident, they still copied a large number of 0.6, 0.5, and even 0.1 versions of the arquebuses that were almost the same as the Qing army's bird guns.

Fighting along the way, good quality arquebuses have lost a lot, and now most of the arquebuses in their hands are 0.6 version of arquebuses, this version of arquebuses is not safe, bullets are too much, the barrel will explode if overheated, and a lot of arquebuses will be damaged, and the next day they fought with Dolon's two new armies, the average arquebus equipped with most of them is 0.6, 0.5 version of arquebuses, and only 1,000 arquebuses are 0.8 version of the gold 1 arquebus.

There were less than 200 arquebuses in the complete Jingai-1 arquebus, so their weapon advantage in the face of the new Qing army of Dolong, who were also almost equipped, had become negligible.

This made it difficult for them to quickly defeat Doron's forces with few troops.

After running 10,000 Han army flags, 10,000 green battalion soldiers, and losing 5,000 cavalry, Duolong still had 35,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 2,000 township warriors who were chased back, they still had 37,000 soldiers and horses.

On Tian Bin's side, the camp was full of wounded soldiers, 30,000 soldiers and horses lost 5,000 soldiers and horses in the first day of the battle, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses fled from the people, the vanguard army lost 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the cavalry lost 1,500 soldiers and horses in the battle with Duolong's cavalry, and the strength was only 26,000 soldiers and horses.

Two hundred cavalry guarded the wounded battalion, and eight hundred civilians could only be placed in the camp to build fortifications and take care of the wounded soldiers, and then Tian Xian sent their wounded soldiers and two hundred cavalry back, and the wounded battalion had two hundred infantry, two hundred musketeers, two hundred archers, four hundred cavalry, and the rest were only 23,000 troops on the battlefield.

On the first day, the artillery was badly damaged, with 5,000 artillery men losing more than 1,000 men and a large number of artillery, which made the second day of the battle very miserable when they faced the enemy's two new armies who had not gone into battle at all and as many artillery as them, and the enemy's artillery attacks on them made their casualties aggravated.

In just one morning, the enemy's artillery destroyed almost all of their artillery, routed the remaining 4,000 artillery, and after gathering up the troops, only more than 2,000 artillery remained, and less than 1,500 were left who could fight.

In the face of the onslaught of the enemy's infantry of the new army, the infantry fell into a bitter battle of numerical inferiority, losing 2,000 troops and wounding more than 1,000 people, so that at the end of the morning, there were nearly 10,000 wounded alone, 2,000 were imprisoned, and 1,500 soldiers and horses were used up to guard the troops, and only 15,000 soldiers and horses were left in the real fighting force.

The battle does not stop, it continues.

After several failed assaults, Duolong heard that the field brigade of the Huaxia Army in the rear had approached forty miles, and attacked even more frantically, trying to open a passage to make peace with the Mongol cavalry.

"The defenders charged earlier,"

The battlefield constantly resounded with such hoarse shouts of Han officers.

This is the shout of the general of Dolong's new army, because in the rear, Dolong with the Qing cavalry and infantry bent their bows and arrows, set up cannons behind their butts, and the Qing Manchu musketeers are aiming at their backs with muskets, if they dare to retreat, they will be greeted by a brutal massacre, and in order to survive, they can only attack.

After losing more than 10,000 cold-armed combat troops, 8,000 arquebusiers, 4,000 artillerymen, and 2,000 cavalry attacked without their lives.

This is now 30,000 new troops, all the strength of the two Qing army new army units, and the opponent is 15,000 tired rebels.

"Bang papa," rows of arquebuses came out of 10,000 sparks, the smoke of gunpowder obscured their vision, the opponent's desperately shot, fired, thousands of sparks came over, soldiers on both sides fell in rows, but the Qing army still did not flinch, brisk forward, front, front.

"Boom ——,"

The artillery of the Qing army opened fire, nearly a hundred solid shells hit it, and thousands of soldiers fell, and the enemy was already crumbling.
