In fact, the tactics of the Runing Army's artillery to rush forward and shoot at close range were a bit risky. If Tan Tu's 3,000 cavalry could charge resolutely, although the artillery also had shotguns to resist, and the two phalanxes behind them were covered by firearms, the outcome of this battle was still half to half. And even if it is victorious, the artillery losses of the Runing army will be relatively large.

But Tan Tu was scared. I can't completely blame Tan Tu's timidity, the shock after seeing the concentrated firing power of the artillery for the first time, coupled with the smoke from the dense artillery fire completely blocked the artillery array of the Runing Army, which made people feel terrified of this devouring smoke, so Tan Tu retreated. Although he led more than 3,000 cavalry out of the skirmishers, he did not give the order to charge, and even Dorgon's order to "seize the artillery" was rejected by him.

However, Tan Tu's protest made Dolgon angry, and he immediately ordered: "Jilang, you bring people over, arrest Tan Tu, and you stay there to command." ”

Before Jilanga could receive his order, Tuberi hurriedly made a gesture to ask him to wait, and then said to Dorgon, "Lord! Think again! ”

Tuberi's words made Dolgon calm down a lot, although Tan Tu is only a leader, he is a person with a yellow flag, and his brother Tan Tai is a close confidant of Huang Taiji, so Dolgon can't be ruthless, and this beating of dogs also depends on the owner's face.

So Dolgon took a breath to suppress the anger in his chest, and changed the order: "Don't go yet, bring a message to Tan Tu, a rabbit cub, and if you don't respect the order, this king will kill him with his own hands." Let him attack quickly, and be sure to block the Ming army on the left flank and prevent them from approaching the hill. No matter how you find a way, you have to take a few artillery pieces of the Ming army on the opposite side. ”

The herald ran to the east side where Tan Tu was. But as soon as he ran halfway there, the Runing army over there began to move again. At the sound of the horn, the artillery of the Runing Army gradually fell silent. But the horses came out of the smoke in front of the battle like fierce gods.

During the artillery battle, the 2,000 cavalry arranged on the right flank of the Runing Army had quietly moved forward under the order of He Fei, and now they had divided into two teams, left and right, and drilled out the smoke formed by the shooting, and charged towards the remnants of Liu Shun's army.

Before the smoke came out, these cavalrymen had already adjusted the pace of their horses, so as soon as the smoke came out, they immediately lined up in five groups in front and back, and immediately increased their speed. Charged towards Liu Shunbu.

In this charge, the cavalry of the Runing Army did not use spears at all, and all the cavalry used sabers. For cavalry, the most enjoyable battle is to cover up, and the most enjoyable thing to cover up. It is now the kind of enemy army that pursues and kills the sparse crowd. Because of this kind of pursuit, there will be no slowdown in the speed of the horse due to the crowding of enemy troops. Cavalry can maintain high speed all the time. It was like a gust of wind, completely blowing away all the defeated enemy troops on the battlefield.

All the horses marched in unison, trampling on the ground with a heart-warming sound, and the cavalrymen rose and fell at the same time on their horses, and they hunched their waists and crunched on their horses. Holding the saber flat, the tip of the knife forward, rushed towards Liu Shunbu like a tsunami.

Liu Shun's soldiers had already been sparsely beaten by artillery fire, and saw the cavalry of the Runing army rushing over. They run like they are desperate, but how can two legs outrun four legs? Soon, the cavalry of the Runing army rushed into these routs,

At this time, the cavalry array of the Runing Army had dispersed, leaving a distance between the horses and the horses. If the cavalry encounters an obstacle, it bypasses or jumps; If you don't encounter a rout, you will still maintain a high speed; If you encounter a rout, let him to his side, swipe it lightly with his saber, and then still raise his saber with the tip forward. It doesn't matter if you don't wipe it, there are cavalry in the back row.

All the cavalry galloped and felt like children of the wind. All of them are enthusiastic and have a heroic feeling of mastering the battlefield.

As soon as the cavalry of the Runing Army rushed out of the smoke, Tan Tu felt that something was wrong. But at this time, instead of gathering the Qing cavalry to hedge, he fled backwards with a flick of his horse's head. As he fled, he shouted, "Hurry up!" Stay away from Minggou's artillery! ”

That's how it is on the battlefield, with the first cowardice, the second cowardice will soon come. And the cavalry led by Tan Tu were all from the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Mongol New Battalion, and the fighting will of those cavalry was far inferior to the Jurchen Eight Banners, so when they saw the commander fleeing, they immediately dispersed the formation and fled to the back in a chaotic manner.

This retreat was more than two miles away, but this retreat also kept Tan Tu's cavalry. After all, a horse's high-speed sprint can't last. Seeing that all the Liu Shun's troops had been wiped out, Tan Tu's cavalry retreated too far, and the officer who commanded the cavalry of the Runing Army blew a copper whistle, gathered all the cavalry, and returned to the main formation.

As soon as he saw Tantu's retreat, Dorgon became anxious. At this time, he didn't care about punishing Tan Tu, and hurriedly issued a series of orders, drawing troops from the Qing army on the middle road and the eight banners of the main formation, reinforcing the east side, and pressing the Runing army back to its original position.

Dolgon already hated Tan Tu so much: he wanted him to attack, but he retreated without permission. And the focus of the Qing army's jihua is to let the Runing army stay in place and accept the "baptism" of the general's artillery, if the Runing army really breaks through from the east side, then the whole Jihua will be wasted, so Dolgon is to seize the time to make up for the loophole on the east side.

By this time, Dorgon had forgotten about the hill occupied by Shumo. Anyway, this small hill is no longer the point, at most, it is less than the attack of the Qing army on the east side, and the things there, let Zhang Liang be busy himself!

Wu Shigong, who was watching the battle from the rear, was smiling. In the battle so far, the Runing army has given full play to the power of its firearms, while the Qing army has suffered setbacks one after another, and has lost nearly 3,000. What satisfied Wu Shigong even more was that up to now, the casualties of the Runing army were negligible. The battle seemed to have entered the rhythm of the Runing Army.

The advantage is so great, even the layman can see it at a glance, Zhang Zhiheng on the side smiled: "My lord! General He played well today! ”

"Don't say it to his face. I'm afraid he'll his tail! Wu Shigong also joked.

There was a burst of daxiao all around, and after laughing for a while, Zhizhi asked with some confusion, "Is this a tartar?" Why doesn't the little monk think it's like it? It's a little too easy to cut melons and vegetables! ”

"Little monk! If you don't think so, you can try it yourself! Wu Shigong then joked, "But it looks like you look good today, and you're dressed like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." ”

Today's intelligence, with a bare head, a monk's robe is covered with armor, and a ring knife around his waist, in order to make it easier to use the knife, he also tied the wide cuffs with ropes, and suddenly at a glance, it really looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Although the people around them didn't know what the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" were, it didn't prevent them from breaking out into another daxiao.

At this moment, suddenly a herald came galloping, he came to Wu Shigong, gave a military salute and said, "My lord! Artillery Commander Bear was injured and has come down for treatment. ”

"Oh?" Wu Shigong immediately suppressed his laughter and asked, "Is the injury serious?" Is there a danger to life? Who is commanding the artillery now? ”

"The skin injury on the outside is not serious, and Lang Zhong has already bandaged it. It's just that the bear commander can't stand steadily, and his ears are also deaf, so it is estimated that there are some internal injuries. Now the artillery is under the command of the commander-in-chief. The herald replied.

"It's fine. Let him recuperate with peace of mind. Wu Shigong said.

At this time, Wu Shigong tried his best to make his expression more calm, but after all, this news affected everyone's mood, and everyone fell silent.

Since the start of the war, the Runing Army has not suffered a few casualties, but one of them turned out to be his own general. People who go to war are somewhat superstitious, so these people always have a faint feeling that this is not a good sign.

"Huh?" Seeing that the Qing army was constantly moving to the east, He Fei immediately frowned.

In fact, the tactic that Hefei is going to use today is to fight steadily. The first battle with the Qing army was fought against the cavalry with infantry, and to give full play to the power of the Runing army's firearms, it was to attract the cavalry of the Qing army to take the initiative to attack the infantry formation of the Runing army.

He Fei was not afraid of delay, and at most the two armies were deadlocked on today's battlefield. Anyway, after a few days of stalemate, their own reinforcements will come in a steady stream. On the contrary, it was the Qing army, but they were fighting in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so they would never dare to stay in one place and confront the Runing army for a long time.

But now this situation made He Fei puzzled. On the entire battlefield, the hill occupied by Shumo is indeed not the focus, but why does the Qing army attach so much importance to it? They have all mobilized the main force, and they look like they are going to fight a decisive battle here?

Of course, He Fei would not think that the commander of the Qing army had made a stupid move. The commander of the Qing army, who can make a mess in the Ming Dynasty, is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

So after thinking about it for a long time, He Fei found that there was only one possible explanation, that is, the Qing army was not used to fighting the moving Runing army. What they paid attention to was not the hill occupied by Shumo, but the sadness of the artillery and two infantry phalanxes of the Runing Army in front of the eastern flank!

But these are all speculations after all, so He Fei wants to make the whole army of Runing move, so as to test the reaction of the Qing army and confirm his judgment. If there is a chance to decide the outcome of a battle, He Fei will certainly not rigidly maintain a defensive position anymore.

"Herald! The artillery retreated, the cavalry on the right flank returned to position, and the two infantry regiments on the right flank remained in place. The left flank and the center of the whole army moved forward. As soon as he made a judgment, He Fei immediately ordered.

In the final analysis, the officers of the Runing Army were all warmongers who advocated attack. As long as they have the opportunity, they will not simply defend, they will take the initiative to look for opportunities to attack. There has always been a saying among the officers of the Runing Army: Defense brings victory, and attack brings total annihilation.

So at this time, the infantry actually took the initiative to attack the cavalry, and the side with fewer people took the initiative to attack the side with more people. (To be continued......)
