"Prepare the whole camp!"

When the Qing army's enemy cavalry came up again in front of him, and it was obviously the main force in heavy armor, Cao Qing and other battalion officers also gave orders one after another, ordering the whole battalion to prepare.

Unlike the drums of the Qing army, the Ming army kept adjusting the queue with a sharp whistle.

The first platoon must be the best queue for the enemy during training, and each spearman, halberdier, sword player, firecracker, etc., is to stand again one by one according to the position he was in during training.

No matter how the Qing army moved, they were still constantly charging, shooting, and the sound of gunfire was very dull, but when they listened to the ears of all the soldiers of the Pingyu Army, it was particularly cheerful and smart, which made people happy in their hearts.

Under the flag, a small group of very special musketeers also arrived at the front line and lay down silently.

They didn't have armor at all, they didn't even wear the breastplate with the arms removed from the arm, and they were gray-black military uniforms worn during combat training, and judging from the ranks, the youngest was also a sergeant major, that is, the identity of a deputy captain.

There were about twenty of them, all of them very arrogant, and although many of them looked at them curiously, these people ignored the others, and only found their suitable position in the military formation, and a few climbed onto the high pole cart.

"The last shotgun, let's go!"

On the right wing not far away, Bai Wenlu's face was already smoked with putty, and the gunsmoke and flint powder released by more than a hundred artillery pieces were not for fun, and all the members of the artillery crew were smoked monkeys, but looking at the appearance of the pile of corpses and the sea of blood in front of him, smelling and smelling the strong smell of sulfur and the bloody smell of the enemy, this feeling was really not ordinary!

The Mongols on the opposite side had already straddled, and the formation behind them was completely disorganized, and there was almost no real threat to the right flank position of the artillery battalion, only in front of them were more than a hundred remnants of the cavalry who rushed to within a hundred paces, still trying to struggle in vain in front of the corpses of their companions.

A few weak iron arrows flew in, and under the cover of the body and a few shields, the members of the artillery crew hardly took these arrows seriously, and still carried out the work of clearing and loading the medicine in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, these Mongols were red-eyed, and Suo surnamed Suo swung his spear and knife, and pounced towards the car formation.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead......"

After giving the order, Bai Wenlu was relaxed.

He had a cigarette in his mouth, and there were few officers in the Pingyu Army who didn't like this thing now, it was strong enough and easy to ignite. The price is also very favorable when selling in the army, and compared with those sales channels in the north, the cheap ones can almost ignore the price.

Under the stimulation of tobacco, the nervous brain was much more relaxed, but just when the commander of the artillery battalion relaxed, the entire artillery position shook again, tongues of fire erupted, and flames erupted!

Each Franc cannon was replaced with scraps of iron and projectiles, which were ejected from the barrel and struck the enemy line at great speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of people and horses were overturned, and the entire enemy in front of them was trapped in a sea of blood.

People and horses are constantly howling, rolling, neighing, and shouting.

At such a time, the first person to die is the luckiest.

"It's miserable." Gong Dingyu was far less relaxed than the military attache in front of him, and when he looked at the situation, he couldn't help but mumble to himself again.

Today's experience is something he has never thought of in his thirty years of life.

The wars written in the books, when the literati and writers talked about it, they were also the first to talk about it.

What rewards and punishments, strict military discipline, heavy training, and shared joys and sorrows.

It seems that this is the case, you can hold a strong army, look at it with great strength, and become a famous general for a while.

To be honest, there are very few literati and writers who don't think so. After all, the Ming Dynasty had a completely different experience from the past after the middle and late periods, that is, the civilian leadership of the army.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the boundary between civil and military affairs was not clear at all, or there was none.

At that time, it was a real "out of the phase." ”

If the side general does a good job, he will go to the center to be the prime minister. The prime minister can also go out at any time to be an envoy or the head of the military horse of an important military state.

At that time, there were very few military generals who were illiterate, and civil officials could also ride fierce horses, carry strong bows, and shoot ugly captives.

The Ming Dynasty used literature to control the military, and the boundary between the civil and military was clear, but it also used the civil to suppress the military. Therefore, an official who was born as a literati and a scholar reads a few military books, which is also the proper meaning of the title. But Gong Dingyu never thought about it, even if it was imagined, he never thought that there was such a tragic scene in the world, and what kind of efforts and sacrifices every soldier made on such a battlefield in order to defeat a strong enemy!

Hundreds of cannons, even if the caliber is not large, but the gunpowder is far inferior to later generations, so the sound is loud and the smoke chokes. Every member of the artillery crew stripped their upper bodies in the middle of winter, and just like that, they were still steaming hot.

Many people's ear drums were shattered, and blood flowed from their ears and eyes.

If the hands and feet are burned and cracked, then it is even more pediatric.

For a time, this extremely talented and strong-minded scribe burst into tears when he saw the battlefield situation.

………… Sun Chuanting's eyes were shining with silver light at this time!

"White armor, at least five hundred or more white armor!"

Sun Chuanting also knows a lot about the white-armored soldiers in the Qing army. Huang Taiji's first entry into the customs, Sun Chuanting at that time was together with his mentor Hong Chengchou, leading the army to Gyeonggi to rescue the driver.

The Qin army and the Qing army did not have much contact and few battles, but the strength of the white-armored soldiers was already deeply valued in Sun Chuanting's heart.

The essence of the Qing army is also among these white armors.

The men of the whole banner of the Qing army can be regarded as soldiers, but the white armor soldiers used to be only two or three thousand, and now they are at most about four or five thousand, and the two battalions of the Xiaocai forward form the most terrifying assault force of the Qing army.

In the battle in front of him, there were nearly 4,000 heavily armored knights in the Qing army, and more than half of the warriors of the three major battalions were wearing mercury armor and carrying a small flag on the fire side behind their backs, and the number was also above five hundred.

These cavalry, rushing forward, completely ignoring the performance of the Ming army's terrifying firearms attack just now, in the telescope, Sun Chuanting saw very clearly, at this moment, of course, he did not have Gong Dingyu's compassionate, this leader of the civilian officials who have commanded the army for many years, at this time the forehead is clearly drenched in cold sweat!

At this time, he completely understood that the Qing army had invested at least a quarter of its elite forces on the battlefield in Shandong, and the current Yanjing was estimated to have been exhausted.

Unlike later generations know, the strength of the Qing army is too weak!

What more than 100,000 soldiers entered the customs, or 200,000 soldiers entered the customs, in terms of numbers, it is also correct. The Han army, the Mongols, the Sauron soldiers, anyway, when Dolgon entered the pass, he gathered the strength of the whole clan, including all the troops that could be mobilized.

But in absolute terms, the Qing Dynasty was a country established by a small tribe, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria were the cornerstone of this emerging country, and the number of men in the whole clan was only 60,000, and in the middle of Shunzhi, because of the continuous war, there were not even 60,000 men, and the number of men dropped to an extremely dangerous 50,000 Dingkou.

If the fight continues, I am afraid that the whole of China will return to the Qing Dynasty, but few of the children of the Eight Banners will survive and enjoy it.

Therefore, in the later war of conquest, seventy percent of the surrendered Han army came to fight, the king of Sanshun and the king of Pingxi, as well as the surrender of the Southern Ming army, these beasts who betrayed their ancestors were the main forces of the Qing court's later conquest of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the war with Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and other departments.

But at this time, it was clear that Dolgon had taken out all of his money.

Not to mention Azig's Western Expeditionary Army, there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals under Duoduo's command, such as He Luohui and Nikan Wang Beile, Tan Tai, Han Dai, Ao Bai and other generals with two yellow banners, are also in Duoduo's army.

Ye Chen, who is in the red flag, is also extremely strong in his soldiers and horses, and he is the main force of the Daishan family.

Most of the main forces of the Eight Banners are already in these two armies, and the Ming army with combat effectiveness, including the King of Sanshun, is also among them.

But I didn't think that in the direction of Shandong, the Qing court also made up its mind, in addition to Abatai's own troops, there were also the original Huaita Division, the strengthened Boluo and Yue Le and other departments, so that the difference between the Qing army and the estimated strength was too great!

It's no wonder that Shandong Town's current strength is not bad, and it was defeated in the first battle!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also makes mistakes......"

Seeing the white-armored soldiers coming in waves, Sun Chuanting's face also showed a wry smile.

In the current form of the battlefield, it is too late for him to replenish the central government, all the troops have been allocated, and he still has his own Chinese army available in his hands, but it is also very doubtful whether it will be effective to go forward.

With so many elites of the Eight Banners of Manchuria here, it is very difficult to say whether it is useful to make up for the Chinese army that cannot make up for a battalion.

For the reconnaissance of the Qing army, the number of people is roughly known, but with so many elites, it is absolutely impossible to reconnoitre. On his side, the estimation of the combat effectiveness of the car and artillery battalion was also underestimated, and he originally thought that the right wing was the weakest point, and especially placed the cavalry and a battalion of soldiers in Shandong Town on the right flank to strengthen the strength of the right flank in a roundabout way.

As a result, the cavalry and infantry battalions were not used, and the inconspicuous car and artillery battalions alone spanned nearly 3,000 Mongol cavalry.

Roughly speaking, the Mongol losses were very heavy, much heavier than the Qing advance in the central battlefield.

At least 400 horsemen were killed or seriously wounded, and the rest had become a mess of porridge, galloping back and forth on the battlefield to escape, even if they had escaped the best killing distance of the Ming artillery, these Mongolian Tartars had completely lost the confidence and determination to fight again, and they did not go around on the battlefield, which was nothing more than taking care of face and fear of military law, and still had a little confidence in the victory of the Eight Banners of Manchuria over the Ming army.

"Pass the old man's order!"

At this time, it was a matter of life and death, Sun Chuanting had to open his hair, and said angrily: "Zhao Yingyuan led the cavalry of the department, attacked quickly, drove all the northern captives away, wiped them out, and the right wing infantry battalion followed up and cooperated, the car artillery battalion, move the camp to the cannon, and give me the eastern captives in the middle!" ”
