Bolo was the grandson of Nurhachi and the third son of Abatai, king of Raoyu, and was deeply appreciated and relied upon by Dorgon for his military exploits and great intelligence.

In the process of the establishment of the Later Jin, Bolo followed Huang Taiji to conquer everywhere, and repeatedly made military exploits in the war against the Ming army and the Mongolian tribes, and was later awarded the title of Beizi. In the second year of Chongde in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji granted Boluo the post of political discussion. For three years, he was awarded the title of Governor of the Imperial Court. During the Battle of Songshan, Bolo and Azig captured Beacon Mountain and obtained a large amount of military rations from the Ming army; He also set up an ambush with Luo Luohun and others to defeat the fleeing Ming generals Wang Pu and Wu Sangui.

This time with Dolgon's southern expedition, Bolo was one of the most effective generals under Dolgon, but he didn't expect that before he led the army to rush to kill, he was killed by a cannonball fired by the Ming army, and died very poorly. The news soon reached Dolgon, who was furious when he found out, and he once again ordered all his men and horses to attack with all their might, destroy the Ming artillery at any cost, and attack the Ming position.

At the same time, he ordered Bolo's elder brother, Abatai's second son, the auxiliary prince Bo and Zhen, to command this wave of attacks.

He wants Bo and Zhen to fight to the death to avenge his brother Bolo.

At this time, Abatai was fighting with Duoduo in Shaanxi, fighting against the Liukou led by Li Zicheng, and his fourth son Yue Le followed him. Abatai's eldest son, Shang Jian, died young, and the other two sons, Bo and Bolo, followed Dolgon. Originally, Abatai thought that by letting his two sons follow Dolgon's side, he would be able to make military achievements again and be further promoted. Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of his family's tragedy.

After learning that his younger brother was killed by solid bullets fired by the Ming artillery, Bo Hezhen was grieved and indignant, and after receiving Dolgon's order for him to command another wave of attacks, he immediately strictly ordered all the men and horses participating in the attack to rush to the Ming army's position with all their strength, and no one was allowed to retreat. After giving the order, he took his own soldiers and the 3,000 bannermen under his command who were under the blue flag. Quickly rushed in front of the Ming army's position.

At this time, the artillery of the Ming army continued to bombard, and after firing three rounds of solid shells from the twenty new guns of the two guard divisions, they began to use flowering shells, and one after another shells flew into the air from the middle of the Ming artillery positions, and fell into the formation of Jiannu with a whistling sound, more or less blowing up some men and horses into the sky.

Because of Dorgon's strict orders, the various groups of men and horses that charged must not be densely formed, but must be dispersed until they are within range of the bow and arrows. As a result, the damage caused by artillery fire to Kennu was greatly reduced, plus after a few rounds of artillery fire. The barrel of the gun needs to be cooled, the remaining powder ballast inside needs to be cleaned, and the frequency and intensity of the artillery fire begin to decrease.

There were at least 40,000 people in this wave of Jiannu who participated in this wave of attacks, they came from many directions, and the artillery of the Ming army could not cover all the impact surfaces, and a large number of Jiannu rushed quickly through the artillery explosion area and rushed towards the position of the Ming army.

People sometimes have a herd mentality, and it's the same when they are fighting, when they see their peers cowering. I was also cowardly and didn't dare to rush forward. But if the people around you don't have any worries and rush forward vigorously, then you will also be encouraged.

The first and second attacks of Jiannu were due to the great lethality of the artillery. The surrendered Ming army was the first to turn around and flee, and the Han army and the Korean army followed and fled. But the third wave of attacks, as many of the escapees were shot or beheaded, and the Jurchen elite cavalry also joined the attack sequence. And regardless of the artillery bombardment, they rushed forward one by one, and even swept past the Mongolian Eight Banners that followed the Han army. The courage of the Jurchen elite soldiers. It also encouraged other Jiannu, not many people dared to be timid, and they all rushed forward in a swarm.

However, the war in the era of hot weapons is not won by courage, Cao Yue's firepower configuration is beyond Dolgon's imagination, Fan Wencheng has never seen it, and other Jiannu did not expect it. Just when Jiannu thought that he had rushed through the area covered by the Ming artillery, accelerated further, and was ready to begin to assemble, the Fran cannons equipped with the warships in the canal and the guards divisions on the shore also began to roar.

Although the firing range of the Franc cannon is not comparable to that of the Hongyi cannon and the new artillery newly equipped by the Ming army, its rate of fire is far superior to these two types of artillery. When Jiannu thought that he had rushed through the artillery firing area of the Ming army, the vengeful shells in front of the Franc cannon poured on their heads. An even more dense explosion sounded in the Jiannu array, and countless Jiannu and their horses, along with the dirt that had been blown up, were blasted into the air.

At this time, the front of the Jiannu in the hand, originally wanted to block the Ming army musket shot of the shield became a burden, these huge shields, not only did not play any role, but became a stumbling block when the Jiannu charged, some Jiannu was not hit by the cannonball, but the horse lost its front hooves because of stepping on the shield thrown on the ground. In the continuous bombardment of artillery, there are many fewer Jiannu who are lucky enough to continue to rush forward. However, the remnants of Jiannu did not flee much, and the elite soldiers of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Jurchen Eight Banners continued to rush forward.

In fact, the current Jiannu soldiers, in addition to the Han army and the Korean army, the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Jurchen Eight Banners is really not bad, and they are far superior to the ordinary Ming soldiers in cavalry and battlefield endurance. Suffering such a heavy loss, they did not have the slightest fear, let alone retreat, and still continued to rush forward.

Bo and Tsu were much luckier than his brother Bolo, and many of his own soldiers had been killed or wounded by artillery, but he was unscathed. Ignoring the continuous fall of the Ming army's shells, Bo He vigorously ordered the sergeants under his command to rush forward.

He held his breath to avenge his younger brother Bolo, who had just died in battle, and he knew that only by rushing to a place not far from the Ming army's defensive front and entering the range of the bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers could he pose a threat to the Ming army, otherwise he would only be beaten.

Under the demonstration of Bo Hezhen and other Jurchen generals, the Jurchen cavalry and the Mongol Eight Banners burst out with tremendous impact, and they rushed into the smoke of gunpowder in the face of the continuous explosion of artillery, and rushed in the direction of the Ming army's position.

The Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Eight Banners of Korea, and the Ming Army were also encouraged, and they changed their incompetence and cowardice during the first and second waves of attacks, and rushed forward desperately together with the Jurchen Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners.

The time was almost noon, although the wind was not strong at this time, but in the smoke of gunpowder, Cao Yue, who was standing on a high place, could still see the figure of Jiannu who was rushing to kill through the telescope. After seeing the Jiannu at the front rush to a distance of about a mile away from the Ming army's defense, he decisively issued another new order, "Turn on the hellfire." ”

With Cao Yue's order, all the Franc machine guns in the two defensive positions on both sides of the canal were lowered and began a fierce artillery bombardment towards an area about a mile away from the position of the Ming army. With the huge roar of the artillery and the explosion of the shells after landing, the land was suddenly torn open like a giant, and in the loud sound of the ground shaking, the successive explosions extended from the direction of the Ming army's position to the front, and instantly engulfed those Jiannu who had just come out of the smoke of gunpowder.
