Picture 240 Naval forces attack on the shore
While Nikan was waiting for reinforcements from the Green Battalion, volunteer reinforcements also arrived at this time, but this time it was not the infantry army that was reinforced, but the naval army.
Wang Fuchen led a battalion of flying tiger warships and a battalion of sampan boats up the Xijiang River upstream, came to the flank of the Qing army, and then the sampan boats in front and the Flying Tiger battleships in the rear, aimed at the rear of the Qing army.
The firing distance of the No. 3 Franc cannon is very close, and it is difficult to effectively shoot at distant targets, while the large Franc cannon on the Flying Tiger battleship is different, with a maximum distance of more than 600 meters, although there is not much precision, but there are green battalion soldiers and horses everywhere in the distance, all of them are full of Mongolian Eight Banners, and now the purpose of the operation is mainly to destroy the opponent's offensive, so it does not need much precision.
A Flying Tiger warship had four large Furlong machine guns, and a battalion had more than 20 Flying Tiger warships, and more than 80 large Furlong machine guns were attacked at the same time, and the battlefield was very loud.
From afar, I saw iron balls everywhere in the sky, and iron balls weighing about a pound smashed on my body, no matter what kind of hero you are, there is no one who can resist.
In addition to worrying about the iron ball flying from the side, the most annoying thing is that the iron ball bounces on the ground, because the potential energy is too large and is not exhausted, and the rest of the force can also hurt people.
If the bazooka offensive was still itchy at the beginning, now more than a dozen Flying Tiger warships are cruising on the river and firing artillery back and forth, which is a problem for the henchmen.
This is also the reason why the bazooka will gradually go to history and will gradually be replaced by artillery.
Shunqing City was surrounded by water on three sides, and Wang Fuchen and He Douge led a section of the naval army along the Xijiang River and Jialing River upstream, and launched an artillery bombardment on the Qing army from the flank and rear.
At this time, the maximum range of the large Franc cannon was only more than 600 meters (there was not much crosshair), but the width of the battlefield was less than two kilometers.
The flank was suddenly shelled, although there were Manmeng Eight Banners to help, but there was nothing to do about the volunteer army, but was counterattacked by Jing Keqin, Feng Youqing and others.
Different from the previous emperor's army, the Green Battalion will be composed of the elite of the surrendered Ming army, rather than the bandits, hooligans and bullies that have been collected, and compared with other Ming armies, the combat effectiveness is very strong, which explains the reason why the Green Battalion soldiers and horses have defeated the Southern Ming army or the righteous army many times in history.
Like all the Imperial Cooperative Army and the puppet army, although there were many outlaws in the Green Battalion, everyone killed men, women and children, and boosted the morale of the army through rich rewards, but there was a lack of faith in the army (except for high-ranking officials, except for gold and silver treasures), and the morale of the whole army was extremely low.
In history, when the Qing army eliminated the Southern Ming regime, Jiang Pai in the north, Jin Shenghuan (Zuo Liangyu system) and Li Chengdong in the south, and Liu Zeqing in the four towns of Jiangbei all led the cavalry to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
When Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong led their troops to counterattack, when the Ming army gained the upper hand, except for a few stubborn people, local guards also led their troops to respond.
When Wu Sangui revolted, even Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, and Shang Zixin, the prince of Pingnan, all raised troops to respond, and the generals of the southern green battalion responded one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not good, some of the soldiers and horses of the green battalion raised their hands to surrender, and under the cover of the navy, the volunteers gradually grasped the advantage on both flanks.
Hauge rode behind the formation, and beside him was the 3,000 Manchurian Blue Banner soldiers and horses under the command of the capital, and it was the 600 Manchurian Yellow Flag Guard Battalion led by Ao Bai.
On the battlefield, the soldiers and horses of the green battalion were suffering, and everyone was not surprised, and there was not much problem, but now seeing the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army being killed on their backs, everyone has a different psychological taste.
Ao Bai was the first to wake up, pointing to the battlefield of the battle and said: "Lord Wang, Yang Lin is vicious with his intentions, far from being comparable to ordinary Ming generals, from Dujiamiao to Shunqing City for more than 40 miles, the other party is retreating step by step, probably just to lead us into the battlefield in advance."
Yang Lin set up fortifications all over the north of the city, digging horse rejection pits and digging trenches to block the advance of our cavalry.
Yang Lin took advantage of the geographical advantage of Shunqing City surrounded by water on three sides, and ordered the gunboats of the naval division to go up along the Xijiang River on the left and the Jialing River on the right, outflanking on both flanks to ensure the initiative on the battlefield.
The Han people have a saying that the south boat and the north horse are invincible in the world in the land battle of our Eight Banners, and the water war of the Han people is also quite powerful.
Yang Lin used the naval army to ensure the safety of its two wings, and formed an outflanking posture against our frontal assault force at any time. ”
Hauge nodded and sighed: "Yang Lin is treacherous, and he is not much better than that sick smoker (Dolgon), such a situation at least ensures that he is undefeated in the field." ”
Seeing this, the blue banner of Manchuria on the side was shocked and said: "Lord, although Yang Lin is extremely treacherous, we will definitely fight to the death."
Since the death of the Great Khan, the sick smoker harbored evil intentions, first instructed the villain to denounce the harm to the prince, but fortunately the little emperor read the brotherly love and begged for mercy before giving up.
After the Qing Dynasty occupied the two capitals in the north and south, Dolgon ostensibly restored the title of prince, but in fact he just wanted to kill people with a knife, so that the prince led his soldiers and horses into Xichuan.
If the army wins, it will inevitably find a reason to denounce it as it did with Prince Azig of England.
If our army is defeated, we will definitely find a reason to harm the prince in the name of justification. ”
Ao Bai suddenly became ruthless, pointed to the battlefield and said: "Lord Wang, although the volunteers can be called elite, Yang Lin was born after all, and the battlefield relies on only sharp firearms, but it is just opportunistic."
Lord Wang, Yang Lin has only more than 2,000 soldiers around him, and it can be said that there are few soldiers.
When our Dajin fought with Genghis Khan Yehuling, Genghis Khan, a generation of war gods, took advantage of the dispersion of the Jin army to personally lead the army to assault our Dajin Marshal Wanyan Chengyu's Chinese army's big tent, and turned the tide in one fell swoop. ”
Hauge sighed, thinking that when Huang Taiji was alive, he still led the banner alone, and now he is under the control of Dorgon everywhere, and the pain in his heart can be imagined.
Ruthless, Hauge was preparing to lead his troops to raid, when the situation on the battlefield was completely unfavorable to the Qing army.
After gaining the advantage on the left and right flanks with the support of the navy, the volunteers divided their troops to outflank from the flanks, in a vain attempt to surround the frontal attack of the Green Battalion Wang Zuntan and Liu Jinzhong's troops, and the Han army's Zhenglan Banner Malaxi Division, which was deep in the formation.
Now that the battlefield situation has been very clear, Yang Lin knows that it is difficult to compete with the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, and now concentrates the main force of the Green Battalion to attack the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
Since entering the customs, although the Qing army has been majestic on all sides, it has mainly relied on the green battalion soldiers and horses to take the lead, while the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners have suddenly joined the war group as an assault force to solve the battle.
If the majesty of the soldiers and horses of the green battalion is defeated, although the Eight Banners of Manmeng can gallop on horseback, they lack the strong support of the soldiers and horses of the green battalion, and it will be greatly reduced on the battlefield.
As a traverser, of course, he knew that Hauge and Dolgon had a deep blood feud, and now that the two wings had the upper hand, Yang Lin decided to launch a counterattack against the Green Camp Wang Zuntan and Liu Jinzhong's troops, who were caught in the frontal attack in the formation, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
Now that the left and right wings of the green battalion, Bai Yongfu and Gao Mingzhan, have been hit hard, Yang Lin, who is familiar with history, bets on whether Haoge will maintain the myth that the Manchurian Eight Banners have been invincible in field battles since Wanli, and whether Haoge can withstand such heavy casualties.
On the battlefield, the eight banners of the Han army were all united by Bayan, and Wang Shuji and Wang Zhibang each led one to kill from the left and right wings, in a vain attempt to kill and disperse the department.
When Bayan saw that the shouting was not good, he hurriedly commanded the soldiers to block the attack, but the opponent's momentum was like a rainbow, and he couldn't resist it at all, seeing the other party approaching, he fought with the musketeers and gunners of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
Standing in the rear, Hauge was quite annoyed, or slightly regretted his division strategy, and scolded and scolded, but now only the Manmeng Eight Banners can change the situation.
Thinking about Dorgon's sinister look, Hauge felt a pang of fear after finding a trumped-up charge to cut off his title of prince a few years ago, and if he lost this battle, he would definitely be accused of making himself doomed.
(Historically, Haoge was arrested after the expedition to Sichuan, although the reason for the Qing history is unknown, if carefully analyzed, it is probably the failure of Haoge's expedition to Sichuan, and the Manchu Tartars are just the venerable.) )
Now there are 600 Manchurian Yellow Flag Bayala Battalion (Guardian Battalion) and 3,000 Manchurian Blue Banner and Eight Banners.
The victory or defeat is in this fight, Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners have many cavalry, even if they do not win the Manchurian Eight Banners, they can retreat with their whole body, Hauge decided to counterattack,
Zhang Jing was sent to Beylenikan and the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Malashi camp, and ordered him to ignore the outflanked volunteers and sailors from the periphery, and make every effort to block and avoid the opponent's flanks being outflanked.
Haoge, Duzhi, and Aobai respectively led the Manchuria Blue Banner and the Manchuria Yellow Banner Bayala Battalion to kill.
In order to confuse the volunteers, the brigade of men and horses lined up horizontally, and because of the large size of the horses, even if there were five rows in front and back, they were 2-3 miles wide.
