After three violent collisions, hundreds of corpses of men and horses were piled up in the middle of the battlefield. However, the pile of corpses also succeeded in dividing the battlefield, and the cavalry of both armies began to hold the reins, and could no longer continue this hedge.

The short break in the battle does not mean that the Daping army and the Qing army have no desire to fight. They were all moving to the side, trying to find a new gap and continue the hedging battle that had not continued. But at this moment, the situation changed abruptly.

Today, Kang Zhengwu and Du Laoliu's troops can be described as ups and downs. These two troops went from being inconsequential cannon fodder on the battlefield to suddenly becoming the focal point under the mercury lamp. But with the beginning of the cavalry confrontation between the two armies, everyone began to turn a blind eye to these two troops who were staying on the edge of the fierce battlefield.

But now Kang Zhengwu and Du Lao Liu are nervous.

To tell the truth, at that time, Xue Yongli had only one request for these two anti-water forces, that is, to mess up the array of the Qing army, and the more chaotic the better. If we look at this alone, it should be said that both forces have completed their tasks.

But Kang Zhengwu and Du Laoliu didn't know this. In their opinion: Xue Yongli asked them to slash and kill the Qing troops around them, in addition to the purpose of surrendering, the more they slashed, the better. Unexpectedly, now these two anti-water forces are killing each other, and they didn't kill a few Qing soldiers at all, which made Kang Zhengwu and Du Laoliu a little worried. They were afraid that they would be scolded by Xue Yongli after the war. It will even be reduced or canceled the "welfare" of surrendering to the Daping Army.

So as soon as they saw the speed of the cavalry on both sides slowing down, Kang Zhengwu and Du Laoliu couldn't hold back. Wealth and danger are sought! It's already a rebellion with their heads on their belts. Could it be that he became a common man after surrendering to the Daping Army? So Kang Zhengwu and Du Laoliu successively issued orders, commanding the troops to rush towards the Qing cavalry that had lowered their horses.

……

Today, the opposition of these two troops in front of the battle is particularly harmful to the Qing army. When it was just against the water. There is no need to say much about the blow to the morale of the Qing army. And now the focus of the entire battlefield is again on the hedge of the cavalry of both sides. This counterattack by Kang Zhengwu and Du Lao's Sixth Division, with the cavalry of the Daping Army stepping forward, immediately beat the cavalry of the Qing Army to retreat again and again.

Moreover, in this counterattack, these two anti-water forces still achieved greater results. It's still an old reason - the cavalry has no speed, and it is not as good as the infantry on the ground.

And throughout the battlefield, although there were other units fighting. However, the battle between these two cavalry units has become a "weather vane". Seeing the Qing cavalry retreating, the morale of the other Qing troops was even lowered. Their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and some of them cannot withstand the aggressive offensive of the Daping army.

"Boom, boom, boom——!" Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Dolgon finally let the Qing army shells open fire.

"Whoosh ——!" Shells swept over the heads of the Qing troops in front of the artillery team. Frightened, these Qing troops avoided on both sides. To avoid the front of the artillery team.

And these Qing troops were just taken aback, but the Qing troops at the front were not so lucky. Dozens of extremely powerful shells fell into the battlefield of the melee between the two armies, and immediately opened up a road of flesh and blood. A small number of Qing soldiers who were fighting were knocked down by their own shells, and many more soldiers of the Daping Army also fell on the bloody path of the Qing army's shells.

In order to end the unfavorable situation and reorganize the army, Dolgon did not hesitate to sacrifice part of his own troops, and wanted to use artillery fire to temporarily divide the battlefield and let the Qing army take a breather. In this way, the adverse effects of some pre-battle backlash can be eliminated. Of course, these Qing troops who were fighting in a melee. Most of them are also Han military flags, so if you really lose a little, the Manchu side can still bear it.

And Dorgon's "strong man's broken arm" like move did have an effect. The officers and men of the two armies in the melee also broke away from the battle one after another and retreated to their rear, trying to avoid the artillery fire of the Qing army. At this time, the only one who moved in the opposite direction and had to be put into the front line of the battlefield was the artillery unit of the Daping Army.

Before the war, Xue Yongli and the others all understood that the greatest threat to the Qing army was their artillery team. After all, the advantage of the Daping army is their infantry and cavalry artillery phalanx, but as long as these phalanxes drop a powerful cannonball, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. A few more shots would have been completely maimed. If it is a skirmish, whether in terms of strength or personal combat skills, the Daping Army is in a disadvantageous position compared with the Qing army.

Therefore, this offensive of the Daping Army can also be said to be - tentative. This can be seen from the arrangement of troops in this offensive of the Daping Army. It's just that the first ten phalanxes came up, but the subsequent phalanxes did not continue to follow. And the artillery did not follow up in time, basically maintaining a kind of "regular" combat.

So as soon as the artillery team of the Qing army opened fire, although the casualties of the Daping army were not small, it also exposed the location of the artillery team of the Qing army. As a result, the artillery unit of the Daping Army also moved forward, to uproot the Qing army unit that posed the greatest threat to itself.

"Boom ——!" When the first artillery of the Daping Army advanced to its own range, the gunners immediately stopped the artillery carriage and opened fire on the Qing artillery team. And the shell fell far on the right side of the Qing artillery position, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground. However, the artillery units of the Daping Army were not in a hurry, and they continued to shoot correctively.

Therefore, although more and more artillery pieces of the Daping Army advanced up, there were only two or three guns that really fired, and these guns were firing unhurriedly, constantly correcting the impact point of the shells.

Finally, a shell fell into the artillery position of the Qing army, and the artillery commander under the command immediately unified the firing angle of each artillery according to the firing parameters of this artillery. With an order, the artillery of the Daping Army immediately fired intensively, and each artillery spewed flames.

This time, there were more than 40 artillery pieces pushed up by the Daping Army, half of which were high-power artillery pieces of more than six pounds. This round of salvo is simply earth-shattering. Magnificent gunpowder smoke immediately rose in front of the artillery of the Daping Army, and the whole battlefield felt the earth tremble.

And the gunners of the Daping Army did not waste time, they worked hard to push the artillery back into position, and then skillfully loaded the ammunition, regardless of the smoke in front of them, continued the angle of fire just now, and carried out a second round of salvo.

And on the artillery positions of the Qing army, the shells of the Daping army seemed to fall like raindrops. Several artillery pieces that happened to be hit flew into the air like matches, and the sand and gravel stirred up by the flying shells and ricocheting shells even beat the Qing gunners on their backs.

Many of the surviving Qing gunners couldn't help but flee back. However, Dolgon had long been prepared for this to happen, and the Qing army supervising the battle team behind the artillery position cut down several leg-long gunners one after another, and then forced the remaining gunners to go back and continue firing.

In this way, under the artillery fire of the Daping Army, the artillery of the Qing Army began to fight against the artillery of the Daping Army. (To be continued......)
