Chapter 383: Heavenly Reason is clear, and retribution is unpleasant

Dolgon was embraced by his subordinates and retreated two miles, and then watched his newly built Uzhen Chaoha battalion collapse, watching his two artillery arrays and thousands of artillery pieces being bombarded.

There is no chance of even salvage.

The artillery of the Ming army was too fierce, although in the first round of attacks, there were still many artillery pieces in good condition, but the Ming army was too ruthless, and they did not stare at the artillery at all in the first round of bombardment, but directly at the ammunition truck and tractor.

In the first round of shelling, ammunition trucks and tractors suffered the heaviest losses. Then the gunners and the riders ran the fastest, and Dorgon tried to pull the guns away, but many of them fell apart, and the worst thing was that many of the tractors were either fucking broken or wounded.

Originally, the Chu army had more than 200 cannons, but a round of bombardment would never have such a great lethality. It's all those ammunition trucks, the explosion caused by the hit ammunition truck, and the lethality of the artillery and tractors, artillery, and horses that are densely placed together is too great.

This simply increased the lethality of the Chu army's artillery fire by ten times.

Then Dolgon found that the Chu army was too deeply hidden, and their heavy artillery, especially those long cannons, began to wield, and the range of these cannons could reach three or four miles, and the shells directly bombarded the two white and two red banner army formations behind the artillery.

Caught off guard, many Eight Banners warriors were killed like this.

By the time Dolgon and Daishan hurriedly retreated two miles, the two artillery arrays had already withstood thousands of shells, and with the explosion of the carts of ammunition, the two artillery arrays had been pitted and completely changed.

Tractors, artillery trucks, and ammunition trucks were all blown apart, and many were set on fire.

Maybe some of those cannons are good, but without the gun cart and tractor, how can they be towed back. For Dolgon. Thousands of cannons were used intensively, but he worked hard to drag the cannons all the way back from Jinzhou, but there was not a single cannon fired under Liaoyang City, and it was all over.

At this time, he didn't even care about the soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, who also suffered extremely heavy losses, and he didn't care about the gunners and gunners. In his eyes. The gunners and gunners can still train again, but all of a sudden there are thousands of cannons, where did he get them again? Just rely on the speed of casting cannons in the Qing Dynasty for one or two decades a year?

At the beginning, the Qing army was under the city of Yizhou, and with a fake Han army, they successfully rushed to Wu Sangui's artillery array, and snatched Wu Sangui's cannon with their backhand.

Afterwards, Dolgon publicly mocked Wu Sangui several times for being stupid, such an important artillery position, and so careless protection.

This. Dolgon arranged heavy troops to protect the artillery position, and he even looked forward to the Ming army going out of the city to fight for the artillery position, and also arranged several killing moves, as long as the Ming army dared to come out, he would definitely call them back.

As a result, he never expected that the Ming army did not need to go out of the city at all. They simply bombarded the city, and destroyed his artillery.

This is a great disgrace. Careless loss of Jingzhou.

"I didn't expect Liu Jiye's artillery to be so sharp, hey." Dai Shan looked at the two artillery arrays in the distance. The artillery fire of the Ming army had stopped, but no one dared to go over.

Wasn't such a fierce artillery fire just a death in the past?

Dorgon's chest was heaving, and his heart was filled with indignation. In this battle, not only the cannons taken from Wu Sangui but also from Songjin City were put in. even put all the cannons that the Qing army itself had so few into it.

Now, the Qing army under Liaoyang City, facing the Liaoyang Jiancheng City full of cannons, has no artillery available.

Without artillery, how can this Liaoyang City be fought.

Liaoyang City. The turret was already full of smoke, and in the middle of winter, the gunners were already bare-chested. The gunfire stopped, but the gunners did not.

Buckets of water were brought in, and the various gunners of the artillery crew worked together in a well-trained division of labor, rushing the gun chamber, brushing and washing, some people specially wiped dry, and some people were responsible for resetting the south gate.

After a round of heavy shelling, the artillery crew had to do a comprehensive inspection and maintenance.

The cold wind was howling outside, but the inside of the turret was steaming, and the bare shoulders were sweating, and the sweat flowed over the black ash on the body, leaving black stripes, and the iron helmets on their heads had already been thrown aside, and the hot hair of the gunners was wet, and the top of their heads was full of white gas.

Fu Shan was dressed in a dazzling gold-lacquered mountain armor with phoenix wings, a sword at his waist, and a white bear on his body. After a fierce artillery battle, he still stood at the head of the city leisurely.

Through the clairvoyant mirror, Fu Shan saw that the two artillery arrays of the Qing army had been completely destroyed, and he was very satisfied.

Putting away the clairvoyant mirror, Fu Shan let out a long sigh and said, "Isn't Dolgon known as brave and wise, how can he be so vulnerable!" ”

"Originally, I thought I had found an opponent, hey, lonely."

Zhang Guozhu laughed, "It's all the adults of the town who have made meritorious plans and commands, and the king of captives can naturally only drink the footwashing water of the lord of the town." ”

"Hahaha!"

"Boss, what's next? Do you want to go out of the city and check the artillery emplacements of the Tartars? A general asked.

"No, stick to the city, and no one is allowed to leave the city without an order." Fu Shan Zhengse said, "As for the artillery array of the Tartars, bombard him a few times every once in a while, if the Tartars still have any thoughts about those cannons, as long as they dare to send them over, they will bombard them fiercely." ”

"Envoy Wang, the artillery brothers of the fourth battalion have made great contributions today, and I hope that your lordship will truthfully record your achievements."

"There is no need for the town to explain it, this is our business, and we will be fair, open and just, and there will be no omission." The military envoy is a eunuch, a person sent by the palace, who is responsible for supervising military discipline. He and another civilian official supervised the affairs of the army, both had the duty of recording military merits, and they each recorded their own records, and finally the military merit book had to be checked by several other chief officials, and then the two lists of military merits were played together to the imperial court and submitted to the military department. If the two lists don't match, they will be held accountable.

However, the nine-headed bird has never expected rewards from the imperial court, and each army of the nine-headed bird has its own set of promotion and reward system. The pacification envoys and instructors at all levels are responsible for recording military merits and punishments within the Nine Headed Birds, and the chief officer and chief of staff are responsible for verification. Finally, after reporting to the top and checking it again, the nine-headed bird will make a promotion or silver reward for the meritorious soldiers.

"Although we defeated the Tartar artillery battalion and destroyed their artillery, we still have to be careful that the Tartar dogs jump over the wall. Everyone should be a little more careful and always be vigilant. Don't take it lightly, especially at night, when you need to be more vigilant. Fu Shan confessed again.

"What if the Tartars bypass Liaoyang and return to Shenyang?" Zhang Guozhu asked.

Fu Shan thought about it for a while, and finally could only say helplessly, "When I came, the handsome man had an explanation. Our task is to defend Liaoyang City. If the Tartars bypass Liaoyang, don't bother with it and let him go. ”

"This? If Tartar returns to Shenyang, will there be too much pressure on the commander's side? ”

"Don't worry, since the commander has already made arrangements, naturally we don't have to worry. Dolgon destroyed all the cannons in our city, and even if he went back to Shenyang, there was no way to take the commander. Fu Shan believed in Liu Jun very much.

Outside Liaodong City, Dolgon and Daishan were also discussing their plans to advance and retreat.

Liaoyang was defeated today. It can be said that the vitality of the Qing army was greatly damaged, although in the final count, only more than 1,000 people and horses of Wuzhen Chaoha were injured, but after all, the artillery was gone. Maybe there are still some cannons that can be used, but they don't dare to go over now.

Seeing the number of artillery and the fierceness of the artillery of the Chu army, Dolgon was not so confident, facing the Tokyo city of the Qing Dynasty. Without artillery, they want to use traditional methods to break the city. That would be quite difficult.

The Qing army was good at cavalry and archery field warfare, and there was never a good way to deal with those fortified cities, and it has always relied on siege and reinforcements, and used the method of long-term siege, and rarely relied on strong attacks to take it down.

Ordinary Ming army cities are so difficult to fight. Now the city of Liaoyang is already tall, and there are so many artillery, how can this be fought.

As for the long siege, it is even more meaningful. Their Shenyang is still surrounded by Liu Jiye, once it waits until next year. The Haihe River is unobstructed, and as soon as the naval warships of the Chu army come over, they are all mobile batteries, how can they be surrounded again.

Although Dolgon was unwilling, he didn't want to waste any more time under Liaoyang City.

"We don't need to fight hard with Liaoyang City, I plan to bypass Liaoyang and go back to Shenyang first to solve Liu Jiye and those Black Flag rebels."

The old fox sat there, his hand stroking his long beard, and nodding slightly.

Although it is a pity to lose Liaoyang this time, he is not a little happy in his heart. The artillery was originally captured by the blue flag of Zilharang and the stone pillar of the Han army flag, but in the end they were occupied by the three Dolgon brothers. Nominally, a separate artillery unit was created, but in reality the command and control were in the hands of Dolgon.

Now that this artillery has been defeated all at once, Dai Shan doesn't feel distressed, and it's not his anyway.

"Bypassing Liaoyang, will the Ming army in the city go out of the city to attack?" Azig also felt a lot of pain in his heart, so many cannons were lost at once. But he was also unwilling to continue to fight with the Liaoyang Ming Army. This special Liaoyang City, the city is strong and fierce, what a fart.

However, he was worried that the defenders in Liaoyang City would not let them go easily.

Dolgon gritted his teeth and showed a fierce look, "If they dare to go out of the city to intercept and pursue, then the king will not be able to ask for it." Siege of the city, we are inferior to the southerners. But in the field, ten southerners are not the opponent of one Eight Banner warriors. They dare to come out, as many as they come, and kill as many as they want. ”

The Qing army finally abandoned the city of Liaoyang, which had nowhere to speak, and the army bypassed Liaoyang and continued north to Shenyang.

Fu Shan stood on the city, watching the Qing army's team pull a long line, and he was a little impulsive to go out of the city to intercept and kill. But in the end, he held back.

"We have to believe in Chu Gong."

Dolgon and his brother Duoduo had been carrying the two most elite cavalry with white flags not far from Liaoyang City, and he secretly hoped that the Ming army would not help but go out of the city to pursue. Even in order to tempt the Ming army, he deliberately arranged the Qing army as a long snake, and deliberately marched next to Liaoyang City.

As a result, when all the troops were gone, not a single Ming army in Liaoyang City came out at all.

Dolgon was disappointed and annoyed, he knew that he had lost his last chance to get back, that his defeat under Liaoyang was irreparable, and that his defeat would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

"Cowardice!" Dolgon scolded hatefully, then thought for a while with a gloomy face, and finally asked someone to find a set of women's clothes, he asked a Han soldier to wear this set of women's clothes, and then ran to the city, and asked him to shout I am Fu Qingzhu, Fu Qingzhu without eggs, I dare not go out of the city to compete with the Qing warriors.

He also asked his other Chinese-speaking men to shout together.

Fu Shan got the report and came to watch. He listened for a moment and laughed, "It's really a clumsy and stupid strategy." Three shots, give them a few shots, shut them up. ”

The Tartars under the city were shouting vigorously, and suddenly there were a few rumblings, and a few cannonballs flew from the city, and the soldiers in women's clothes and the Han soldiers who were shouting were all panicked at once, and hurriedly ran into the distance.

The shells fell at a distance from them, sending up a cloud of snow and dust.

Seeing this, Dolgon let out a long sigh and rode away with a black face, "Go! (To be continued.) )
