652 is that you are too late
The troops led by Dolgon were the most elite troops in Shanhaiguan, and they were all veterans of many years of fighting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Needless to say, personal martial arts bravery, combat experience is far beyond that of the Heavenly Army. After all, most of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army are far from being able to compare with the veterans and elite soldiers of Jianyu in these aspects.
However, the advantage of calling the soldiers of the Heavenly Army is that they have mastered thermal weapons, including flintlock pistols, gunpowder explosions, artillery bombardment, and so on. During the day, the advantage of firearms is particularly obvious, and it can often occupy most of the Shanhaiguan.
However, once night fell, the impact on firearms was greater, but the advantage of Jianyu did not have much effect. Jianyu's counter-attacks were sharp and deadly, and the bows and arrows that suddenly shot from the shadows often took people's lives unexpectedly.
At the very beginning, in the face of the unknown fear of killing in the dark night, some of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army were frightened, and even abandoned their stubborn positions and ran back.
When Hu Hansan first heard about this situation, he was stunned at first, but he didn't expect that there would be soldiers in his army who had escaped. Without any hesitation, he immediately executed the fleeing revolutionaries and those who held official positions; Other ordinary soldiers were stripped of their merits and ordered to retake their positions the next day. If the position cannot be recaptured or the position is abandoned after recapture, the soldiers will be killed.
At the same time, Hu Hansan strictly ordered the revolutionaries and those with official positions to set an example and play the necessary leading role, so that his soldiers knew the importance of this war, and that victory was not allowed to be defeated! At the same time, try to counter the attack of Jianyu in the dark night.
During this period, many heroic deeds also emerged in the heavenly army. There are explosive packets buried in the position, and if the position is lost, the last person will light the explosives bag and let the swarming Jianyu ascend to heaven together; There are counter-offensives that are taken by surprise in the dark of night, taking the initiative to attack the areas controlled by Jianguo, and dealing a heavy blow to Jianyu's attack deployment; Some even sneaked into the control area of the Jianyu in the dark of night, looking for places with a large number of Jianyu to provide ammunition points for their artillery, etc.
In this battle, the sharpshooters armed with rifled flintlock pistols, although they were few in number, they still contributed a dazzling battle.
They hid in the arrow tower at the north gate, in the tallest building in the city, and when they saw the leader of the building, they aimed at it; When you see a prominent brave man, aim at it and fight there; With a long range and high accuracy, sharpshooters can often harvest a Jian's life with two or three shots, dealing a heavy blow to Jianguo.
After going back and forth, the most elite part of the Jianyu troops were almost consumed, and the remaining Jianjiao were much weaker in terms of morale and martial arts. They began to fear death, and were reluctant to storm the positions of the Heavenly Army, or rush forward to meet a little fierce resistance, especially after the leader of the prison army was shot and killed, and then quickly retreated.
Hu Hansan keenly captured this situation, he didn't know how long it would take for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive, and he was worried that the friendly troops would not arrive and the reinforcements would arrive first, in that case, it would be difficult for his side to hold on.
Hu Hansan convened a mobilization meeting with generals above the company level, and then ordered a general attack. Because he believes that fighting a war is morale, and the number of prisoners should be about the same as his own side, but the combat power is obviously much weaker. On his own side, after the tempering of the battle, the soldiers who survived on the battlefield were all elite, although the gunpowder was insufficient, but the use of cold weapons could also ensure combat effectiveness.
All the artillery fire was blasted out at once, blasting towards the place where it was possible that the leaders of the Jianlu, especially Dolgon, were located, and then the attack began in the early hours of the morning with the platoon as a unit and the three-talent formation as the attack formation.
At this time, Liu Daneng happened to lead the army to arrive, which immediately boosted the morale of the heavenly army, and almost never encountered decent resistance, so that the soldiers of the heavenly army were like a tide, covering the past from east to west. Except for a small number of captives who escorted Dolgon to escape from Shanhaiguan, all the rest of the captives were killed in Shanhaiguan by the red-eyed Heavenly Army.
At the head of the West Gate City, feeling the earth-shattering cheers of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army after the victory in the bitter battle, Hu Hansan held Liu Daneng, who was almost weak, and said excitedly: "You came too timely, really fast, so timely, or my subordinates don't know how much to sacrifice!" ā
"That's not it!" Liu Daneng laughed and reluctantly stood up and said, "Look, the end of the rapid march, a dignified soldier can't even stand on his feet!" ā
Contrary to the excitement and joy of the two of them, Dolgon's face was like ashes, and on a cold day, he didn't know that his hat had fallen off, and he led about 500 remnants of the defeated soldiers, riding on horseback, staring blankly at the Shanhaiguan in the distance, and looking at the soldiers of the Heavenly Army waving flags and shouting on the wall.
To tell the truth, although Dolgon suffered a defeat in Naturalization City, he only valued calling the Heavenly Army in his heart, and that's it.
But now it is completely different, he thinks that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty are brave enough, but now he finds that the soldiers of the Heavenly Army are also brave; He thought that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty were not afraid of death, but now he found that the soldiers of the Heavenly Army were also not afraid of death; He thought that the warriors of the Great Qing Dynasty were invincible in face-to-face confrontation, but now he found that the soldiers of the Heavenly Army were also invincible in hand-to-hand combat......
This battle proved that the soldiers of the Heavenly Army overwhelmed the warriors of the Qing Dynasty in every aspect; In the past, they could defeat the Qing Dynasty with the city wall and the Heaven-Bombarding God Cannon, but now they can defeat the Qing Dynasty without relying on these.
Dorgon's fearful fearful charge and counter-charge on the young faces of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army made him fearful. With such an army, how could the Qing Dynasty win?
Dorgon came back to his senses and looked around his men, seeing fear on their faces as well. He understood that his former brave subordinates had developed a sense of fear for the Heavenly Army. If you encounter the Heavenly Army in the future, I am afraid that it will be like the previous Ming army meeting the previous Qing army. It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!
Dorgon let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. Why don't you yourself, if you encounter a heavenly army in the future, how can you still defeat them?
Hehe, what is fighting for hegemony in the world, what is destroying the Ming Kingdom, as long as the heavenly army exists for a day, these are just pipe dreams!
Dolgon turned his horse's head in silence, and led the remnants of the defeated army to the capital in the cold wind.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few miles, he met the army of Huang Taiji's department. With the sound of rolling iron hooves, he soon saw the angry Huang Taiji.
"What the hell are you eating, how can you be defeated, can't you hold on for another hour, an hour!!" Huang Taiji roared angrily, saliva almost squirting on Dorgon's face, who was not far from him.
Dolgon was not afraid, and his interest was very low, like a living dead who had no desires: "I have only such a few people left, and they are all gone, and you are too late!" ā
In the words, there is no superficial disguise and respect, as if you are speaking to ordinary people.
