Chapter 209: Hongyi Cannon

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!

The two armies faced each other, the war drums were beating rapidly, the four thousand green battalions pushed forward to the Ming army, Wang Yan stood under the big line, giving orders, on the top of the mountain in addition to waving the flag, there was also a chess and card officer with a colorful flag on his back and a token hanging on his waist, and rushed down the hill on his horse, came to the front line officer, and passed on the special military order.

Boom boom boom~

A series of artillery sounds, exploding in the place where the Qing soldiers will pass, this is not doing useless work, but positioning, just facing the two armies, the archers want to shoot the same arrows, the artillery must first fire a few shots to determine the artillery distance, when the Qing soldiers enter the firing range, the artillery can fire ten thousand cannons in unison.

Wang Yan looked at the Qing army advancing forward, the battle was not chaotic, the team was clean, exuding bursts of murderous aura, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, it was indeed an elite, it could be called a veteran army of the killing field, but Geng Zhongming only sent 4,000 men and horses, and he wanted to break his battle formation, but it was too rampant.

Geng Zhongming boasted that his men and horses were not inferior to the Manchurian elite cavalry, but Wang Yan, more than 10,000 people, were all existences who had fought with real Manchuria.

Under the city of Yangzhou, whether it was Li Shuotai's Han Army Blue Banner or Duoduo's inlaid white flag, they were all under the hands of Yangzhou athletes, and many people and horses were lost.

At this time, Geng Zhongming didn't go all out to deal with it, and Wang Yan suddenly had a plan in his heart, that is, to show the enemy weakness, so that Geng Zhongming could fight into a refueling tactic, so as to consume his army, and finally ambush the troops together, and set the battle in one fell swoop.

At this time, Dai Zhifan, who was commanding in front, listened to the general order conveyed by the chess and card officer, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, his original intention was to use powerful artillery to let this green battalion be defeated by artillery fire in the process of impact, so as to make a meritorious contribution in a battle, so as to frustrate the spirit of the Qing army.

Now he listened to Wang Yan's order, but he was surprised: "Show the enemy weakness and let them rush up?" ”

Dai Zhifan was extremely puzzled, his face was a little dazed, and Chen Yujie, the commander of the artillery team on the side, saw this, so he had to try to say: "Since the prince has an order, then the general will let the artillery team miss a little, okay?" ”

Although Dai Zhifan didn't understand it in his heart, he still nodded, and when Chen Yujie retreated to order the artillery team, he turned around and transferred some of the bird commanders to reduce the firepower of the Ming army.

At this time, the Qing army had already stepped into the firing range, and the size of the Ming army suddenly opened fire.

The establishment of the car battalion was more than 3,000 people per battalion, and it was supposed to be equipped with cavalry to fight, but there were few horses in the south, and Wang Yan only had 2,000 cavalry, so they were all ambushed.

The mobility of the car battalion is not good, it lacks the ability to take the initiative, and it also loses the possibility of expanding the results after the war, but the defensive ability and the scale of firearms are very powerful.

Qi Gong's car battalion was equipped with two artillery pieces per heavy vehicle and was equipped with 20 soldiers, including 10 regular soldiers, 2 horses, 6 guns, a commander, and a helmsman. The other ten are odd soldiers, including four bird millers and long knife players, two rattan players, two hammer handles, and one captain and one fireman. The light vehicle was equipped with ten soldiers. Each battalion has 128 vehicles and 3,109 officers and men.

Wang Yan's car battalion was organized in this way, and even strengthened its firepower.

"Boom~Boom~"

The four battalions of vehicles were divided into four sides of the hill, and although the Qing soldiers only attacked one side, they still faced the bombardment of nearly 200 large and small Francophone guns.

The Portuguese instructor was very puzzled by Chen Yujie's order to let the artillery deliberately miss the artillery, but he still carried it out conscientiously, allowing some of the artillery to deliberately lose its accuracy, causing the shells to explode around the Qing soldiers.

It's just that the firepower of the Ming army is really strong, and when the Portuguese instructor first saw Wang Yan's car camp, he was surprised and shouted "God, even buy Ka", because the West at the same time did not have such a powerful artillery army.

At this time, although some artillery pieces were ordered to be crooked, there were too many artillery soldiers of the Ming army, and there were still shells that exploded in the Qing army's formation, which immediately made the Qing soldiers who kept the formation advancing down one piece.

At this time, the Qing army was at least 500 steps away from the Ming army, and if they launched a charge now, they would run in front of the Ming army, and the soldiers would basically have no strength to fight, and they would send food to the knife edge.

"Hold on! Don't panic, follow the banner of the general, and push it up! Han You, the Qing general under the military flag, held a knife in his hand and shouted for the green battalion not to panic in the artillery fire.

Under the deliberate release of the water by the Ming army, the Qing soldiers finally rushed to a hundred paces away after throwing more than 400 corpses.

Seeing this, Geng Zhongming, who was under the command of the Chinese army, smiled slightly, it seems that Wang Yan is not so powerful.

At this time, he waved back with one hand, and a thick horn sounded in the Chinese army, and Han You of the front army heard the sound, and immediately waved his knife and pointed and shouted.

The remaining more than 3,500 people were all green battalion soldiers, and immediately ran wildly, and thousands of archers bent their bows and pulled arrows while running, throwing arrow feathers into the Ming army's array.

At this time, Dai Zhifan also commanded the Ming army to start a counterattack, but Wang Yan intended to release the water, and the green battalion soldiers did not pay many casualties, so they rushed to the front of the car camp.

The two sides fought with knives and guns, and the sound of killing was all over the sky, but the Ming army's chariots were connected from end to end, like a fortress, and the green battalion soldiers climbed several times, and they were all poked down by the pikemen.

At this time, on the top of the mountain, Wang Yan saw that he had been fighting for a while, and he had achieved the purpose of seducing, so he hurriedly beat the war drums with his order, signaling that Dai Zhifan did not have to keep his hand.

The Ming military had already held their breath, and now they had to order, the Francophone on the chariot suddenly attacked, the Qing soldiers blocked the front of the car, the Ming soldiers ignited the fuse, and then jointly raised the small cannon, and the muzzle of the cannon was charged, and it was killed immediately.

The green battalion, which had just rushed up and thought it could make a meritorious service, suddenly suffered heavy casualties, hurriedly broke away from the chariot, and retreated in defeat.

When Geng Zhongming saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he only thought that the troops were not too small, and he broke through the car formation without a shot, so he issued a military order again, ordering the rout to take a detour and not to be in the front, and then ordered the Chinese army to mobilize 8,000 people and go forward to fight.

At this time, the Qing army's Wang Banner was lowered, the yellow flag danced, and the two Qing troops followed the drum, left the brigade, and pushed towards the Ming army.

Eight thousand green battalions, twice as many as Fang Cai, Geng Zhongming felt that four thousand people could kill in front of the Ming army, and they had been fighting for a quarter of an hour, eight thousand people, there was no reason why they could not be attacked.

What's more, at this time, the artillery array of the Qing soldiers has also been erected, can the Hongyi artillery smash the fortified city, but can't it break the small car camp?

At this time, in the hunting wind, 8,000 Qing soldiers were divided into two battalions, one was for Wuchang to garrison Gao Shiqing, and the other was for Xiaogan to garrison Huizhiguan, and slowly pressed towards the Ming army.

At the same time, the artillery of the Qing army began to sound, and a solid cannonball hit the Ming army's chariot, and the car was destroyed and killed.

The Qing army did not have many small cannons, but there were heavy artillery for siege, and the range of these cannons was much greater than that of the Ming army, so the Ming army could not shoot at them.
