Chapter 82: Dorgon's Decision

Of course, this was just a dismount from the Haw Par Army to Dolgon, and then there was an even more tragic blow to the shocked Dol Roll.

Under the stunned gaze of Dol Roll, the attacking army formation that was constantly advancing towards the position of the Tiger and Par Army had just recovered the shield wall. Another string of gunfires mixed with nine cannon shots rang out on the battlefield.

Dolroll hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked at the attacking army formation that was under attack a few hundred paces away.

Within sight of Dolroll, the six shield wagons were either smashed to pieces or damaged by shells, and they stood motionless, completely exposing the infantry behind them.

And at this moment, the rush of lead bullets had already crossed the gap in the shield wall and appeared in front of the infantry and soldiers.

A series of screams and the sound of lead bullets entering the flesh resounded on the battlefield, and the dense Tartar infantry followed, and were once again harvested to the ground by the whistling lead bullets, turning into corpses.

After two successive rounds of artillery and musket fire, the Tatar infantry had already paid hundreds of casualties. The Tartars, who were on the attacking side, had not yet advanced to the effective range of bows and arrows, and could still only be beaten passively.

The third round of bullets fired by the Haw Par Army came to the Tartar army formation again, and the moment when the Tartar infantry followed the army to the ground. The three hundred Tartar archers finally had a chance to return the favor.

"Shoot the arrows right away...... Aiming at the front-line positions of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the arrows ......"

"Whoosh ......"

Three hundred feathered arrows quickly flew out of the sky from the Tartar army formation with a slight whistling sound. After drawing a beautiful arc of silver light in the air, under the action of its own gravity, it pierced towards the ground at an increasing speed.

At this moment, a violent harmony also sounded in the front-line position of the Haw Par Army.

"Hold up your shield and defend against arrows......"

More than a hundred large shields made of logs were held high by the long sought-after, and quickly formed an unbreakable wooden cover along the line of the earthen wall of the position. The swindlers and musketeers all hid under the cover.

"Bang bang bang ......bang" A series of crashing sounds sounded overhead, and the arrows with great force either missed the target and plunged into the earth, or they were all nailed to the shield, motionless.

Under the cover of shields, after withstanding three rounds of arrows from the Tartars in a row, the artillerymen and musketeers all completed a new round of reloading.

When the muzzle and muzzle of the black hole pointed at the Tartar army formation eighty paces away again, an order was immediately shouted from Zhou Shuyuan's mouth.

"Artillery, open fire...... Musket battalion, shoot ......"

"Boom, boom...... Bang bang bang ......"

The sound of gunfire rang out one after another, and the white smoke gushing out from the wounds and the muzzles of the guns quickly enveloped the earthen wall.

Because the Tartars were too tight from the position, nine shells directly destroyed seven shield cars. Not only that, but the lead bullets fired by the new muskets can already be shot lightly through the shields used by the Tartars to fill the gap in the shield cart

Therefore, the results achieved by the Haw Par Army in this round of shooting are extremely amazing.

At least a hundred Tartar infantry followed, killed or wounded, on the way to the attack.

At a distance of sixty paces, under the constant counterattack of the Tartar archers, the number of lead bullets and cannonballs fired by the Haw Par Army not only did not decrease in the slightest, but the results achieved became greater and greater.

Amid the sound of gunfire, more than 100 infantry soldiers fell on the way to the charge, either dead or wounded.

"The artillery immediately withdrew to the second line of defense and set up its defenses. Musket battalion, continue to shoot forward, wait for the Tartars to rush forward thirty steps, and then retreat......" Zhou Shuyuan's murderous order sounded in the position again.

The crackling of muskets rang out on the battlefield, and one by one the Tartar infantrymen hiding behind their shields lay in pools of blood and turned corpses.

In the face of the strong firepower displayed by the Haw Par Army, in the face of the subordinates who kept being shot and fell to the ground. Dolgon's shocked face finally changed.

Especially after seeing the lead bullets fired by the Hawpar Army pierce through the shield wall and begin to kill and injure the archers behind the infantry followers. A hint of worry and solemnity quickly appeared on Dolgon's face.

He said to himself to his subordinates: "I can't attack like this anymore." The Haw Par musket was so powerful that an ordinary shield could not stop the lead bullets fired by the musket. ”

"And the Haw Par Army's musketeers are all hiding behind earthen walls, and there are shields covering overhead, and the arrows we shoot can't help the opposing musketeers."

"If you continue to attack like this, you won't achieve anything except for letting the warriors die in vain."

"Order the attacking troops to retreat immediately, and before they come up with a way to break the defense of the Tiger and Leopard Army, they must not be sent to death in vain." Dolgon, with a solemn face, commanded in a deep voice.

In the face of the superior firearms units of the Haw Par Army, the Tartar attack came and went quickly.

Looking at the attacking troops in front of him, who had already lost more than half of them, Dolgon finally couldn't suppress the anger that kept surging in his heart, and roared loudly: "We must find a way to suppress the tiger and leopard arms troops, otherwise, the warriors will definitely suffer heavy losses." Don't forget, the Haw Par Army dug six identical lines around the outskirts of Mushroom Valley. ”

Before they could make head-on contact with the defenders of the first line of defense of the Haw Par Army, the attacking force lost more than 400 men. After the attacking force really broke into the first line of defense of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the 800 soldiers were not going to be lost.

One line of defense lost 800 men, and the six lines of defense added up to nearly 5,000 troops.

In other words, as soon as the troops attacked the foot of the Mushroom Valley city wall, thousands of elites behind them would be lost.

Thinking of this result, all the senior Tartar officers couldn't help but gasp.

At the same time, he focused his attention on the commander Dolgon, hoping that Dolgon could come up with a solution for everyone.

Not disappointing everyone, after a short period of contemplation, Dolgon analyzed in a deep voice: "One hundred and fifty steps, I need a weapon that can attack the shield of the Tiger and Par Army at one hundred and fifty steps......

"Artillery...... We can also use artillery ......," replied a Tartar officer.

Before Dorgon could speak, an opposing voice rang out behind him.

"No... The Haw Par Army has qualified artillery in its hands, but we don't have it. Moreover, the artillery we captured in Zunhua is still in Zunhua City, even if we go to transport it now, we can't transport it in three or four days..."

When his subordinates were arguing with each other about something, the mountains around Mushroom Valley suddenly appeared in Dolgon's field of vision.

In particular, the slender trunks of the trees in the mountains that are dozens of meters high are like a key, which suddenly unlocks the troubles in Dolgon's mind, and makes Dolgon's eyes can't help but light up.

"There is," Dorgon subconsciously exclaimed.

"Don't make any noise, I have a way....directly take local materials, make weapons, and suppress the Ming army's firearms."
