Chapter 81: Dorgon's Shock

Three thousand Tartar cavalry gathered together, plus three thousand various weapons scattered out of the cold light under the sun. The entire Tartar cavalry phalanx directly gave Wei Zheng a sense of solemnity and murder.

Faced with a large area of Tartar attacking troops under the pressure of black, Wei Zheng held up the monocular that had captured Dordor, and first shifted his gaze to Dolgon, who was also wearing bright yellow armor and surrounded by a group of generals in front of the Tartar cavalry phalanx.

Perhaps because of the hero's sympathy, Wei Zheng looked at Dolgon at the same time, and Dolgon, who was holding a telescope in his hand, happened to hold the telescope and looked at Wei Zheng's location.

The two people's eyes, as if they had been discussed, looked at each other at the same time, motionless.

It took a long time for the two of them to put down their binoculars at the same time. The furlen brow furrowed at the same time.

At this moment, one of the generals standing behind Dolgon suddenly spoke: "Lord Belle, I know from the soldiers who have fled back that the positions built by the enemy outside the city walls are aimed at cavalry. ”

"As long as we abandon our horses, under the cover of shield vehicles, and attack the other side little by little with infantry, the other side will not be able to help us. The minion asked for his order, and personally led a Niu Lu and 500 infantry to follow the army, launched the first round of attack on the enemy, took their first line of defense, and gave our army a strong ......"

Either way, a tentative attack is a must for you.

After glancing at the eager subordinates in front of him, Dolgon ordered with an expressionless face: "Yes, I will give you a Niu Lu and five hundred infantry followers to attack the Tiger and Par Army." However, during the entire offensive process, the attacking troops must not lightly advance against the enemy, so as to prevent them from being hit. The last one, after occupying the opponent's first line of defense, immediately moved to the defense and waited for the arrival of the main forces. ”

"Yes, Lord Belle...... The minions must live up to expectations and take down the opponent's first line of defense......"

Five hundred infantry followed in front, and three hundred Tartar cavalry with longbows in their hands, pushing dozens of large shield carts, slowly pressed towards the barbed formation of the Tiger and Par Army in front of the position.

In the front-line position of the Tiger and Leopard Army, as soon as there was movement in the Tartar army formation, a strict order came out of Wei Zheng's mouth.

"Order, the musket battalion immediately enters the position, and all meet it......"

"The first squad of the pike-battalion, covering the musket battalion with a shield for three-stage firing of the Tartars......"

"The artillery battalion medium Franc machine artillery team, as soon as the Tartar shield car rushes into the firing range, immediately open fire. Destroy the Tartar shield cart with solid shells, clear the fire range for the musket battalion, and shoot the Tartars hiding behind the shield cart. ”

At this moment, the Haw Par Army is different from half a month ago, with a large number of captured Tartar artillery equipment, the artillery battalion has been expanded into a mixed artillery battalion containing Tiger Zun guns, small Furlong machine guns, and medium Furlong machine guns.

In order to give the main force of the Tartars a head start, Wei Zheng directly used the nine medium-sized Franc guns in the artillery battalion, which were the most powerful and long-range, and prepared to strike at the Tartar shield car at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces.

Amid the roars of officers at all levels of the artillery battalion, the three hundred pounds of artillery pieces, with the joint efforts of several gunners, quickly arranged nine guns into place from the special passage.

After the Black Hole Cannon was a hundred paces away from the Tartar attacking phalanx, several sub-systems that had already been loaded with ammunition were quickly piled up next to the artillery.

"All the artillery is there, and the reload ...... is carried out immediately"

Under the control of the gunner, the nine sub-systems are perfectly combined with the barrel. A fiery rope then protrudes from the tail of the barrel. The nine gunners held torches and waited quietly for the captain to give the order to open fire.

Three hundred paces, the artillery with torches did not move at all.

Two hundred steps, still no movement. However, judging from the hot expression that slowly emerged from the gunner's face, it was not far from the first round of shelling.

One hundred and fifty paces, a loud roar finally came out of the mouth of the captain of the first team of the artillery battalion.

"All the artillery is there, and the artillery is ...... immediately"

Ignite the fire rope, and the sparkling spark quickly extends towards the tail of the barrel.

The moment the spark disappeared at the tail of the barrel, a violent explosion was sent out from the chambers of the nine guns on the first line of the earthen wall.

Under everyone's gaze, the barrels of the nine artillery pieces pointed directly at the Tartar army formation quickly spit out a cloud of flames mixed with a large amount of white smoke and black smoke. Wrapped in flames, pitch-black solid iron shells quickly erupted from the muzzle of the cannon and flew towards the Tartar shield cart more than a hundred paces away.

The pitch-black cannonball made a beautiful arc in the air and struck the Tartar's heavy wooden shield cart with great precision.

"Bang bang ......" A series of huge crashing sounds sounded on the battlefield, and the shield car that was directly hit by the solid iron ball was like a goddess scattering flowers, and was smashed by the iron ball.

Some of the wood chips that flew in all directions even affected the Tartar infantry hiding behind the shield carts.

Several people were caught off guard, and were directly inserted into their bodies by sawdust, and fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness.

Some shield cars were directly smashed by iron balls, and some shield cars were only smashed out of a hole.

After penetrating the shield car, the iron ball continued to fly forward unabated. After piercing the bodies of two infantry followers in the front and back, it finally stayed in the belly of an infantry follower.

In the blink of an eye, four shield wagons were destroyed, plus the Tartar infantry, which had been directly or indirectly eliminated. The results of the first round of firing of the artillery battalion can be said to be very good.

The musket battalion, which had been guarding the front line of the earthen wall, did not miss this opportunity to kill the enemy.

A burst of gunfire rang out at the scene, and the raindrops of lead bullets flew like eyes, along the gap that the shells had just opened, towards the Tartar infantry who were hiding behind the shield carts.

The Tartars, which were directly attacked by the musket battalion, were like wheat cut by a sickle, and they were swept to the ground by lead bullets.

Of course, the battle-hardened Tartar infantry was not a fool, and at the moment of attack, they quickly raised their large shields to fill the gaps, once again forming a tight shield wall.

However, no matter how fast they reacted, they could not fly faster than the speed of lead bullets. In a few gaps that were blown open by artillery shells, pieces of infantry corpses fell directly.

In this attack, the Tartars paid less than fifty infantry to follow. However, the shock to the Tartar XIV Belle Dolgon was very great.

Because, just after a round of firefighting, the intensity of the firepower of the Haw Par Army has proved to Dorgon that the Haw Par Army that he is now besieging is definitely beyond his estimate in terms of strength.

Not to mention anything else, the number of artillery guns equipped by the Haw Par Army far exceeds that of other new muskets of the Ming army...... It made Dolgon shocked by the true combat effectiveness displayed by the Haw Par Army.
