Chapter 1945: Just Dead
readx;
Zhao Hongyu's self-confidence is not without reason, because the Imperial Army under his command has novel tactics and very advanced weapons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSo he himself knew what it was about defeating Dorgon.
Only a person like Dorgon would think that he still has a chance to defeat the other party.
And Zhao Hongyu's disdain, it is estimated that Dolgon is impossible to understand.
Probably because of a little inspiration, the formation of the Eight Banners Assault Force in this round of attack was much looser than the previous one, and not so dense.
However, it is simply impossible to avoid major casualties in this way.
Therefore, when the Eight Banners Army, which attacked on three sides at the same time, entered the effective range of the Imperial Army, they once again suffered an unprecedented blow.
The elite of the Imperial Army in the center continued to use the five-stage shooting style and dealt a great deal of heavy damage to the Duoduo Division who won the battle.
Duoduo was a tenacious man, he thought that he could rush to the front of the Imperial Army by rushing and punching, but who knew that the truth was not what he thought it was at all.
Before he could approach with his army, the muskets of the Imperial Army crackled and blinded him.
Seeing the cavalry around him being overturned to the ground like straw, Duoduo didn't know what adjectives to use to describe it at this time.
In short, that's called a complex.
However, it quickly occurred to Dodor that even if he could not do it here, it would be good if the troops attacking the left and right flanks of the enemy could achieve results.
It's just a pity that his idea is destined to be unrealizable.
For the troops of Dorgon, who had attacked the left flank, and of the nobles who had attacked the right, were now in great confusion.
Dorgon attacked the left flank, targeting Daizenbu.
In his opinion, the troops led by Dai Shan were all old and weak soldiers of the original Eight Banners. Although they all surrendered to the Song people with Dai Shan, their combat strength was not very good.
So. Dorgon thought it would be easy for him to open the gap from the Ministry of Benevolence.
It's a pity that when he came over with the most elite troops under his command, he encountered the merciless baptism of artillery behind Zhao Hongyu's army formation.
With the firing range of the Imperial artillery, it was easy to cover the front of the Daizenbu line.
Therefore, even if Dorgon adopted the tactic of attacking from three sides at the same time, it still could not avoid being bombarded by Imperial artillery.
Therefore, Dolgon's elite troops completely collapsed under two or three rounds of artillery bombardment. They didn't even get close to the left flank where the Daizenbu was located to attack it effectively.
Meantime. Dorgon didn't want to waste his efforts, so he ordered not to retreat.
Therefore, the soldiers who were already a little frightened could only continue to rush forward.
But such an attack is destined to be a senseless death.
Thus, in a very short period of time, the number of soldiers in Dolgon's troops began to rapidly decrease.
Faced with this situation, Dorgon also knew that in such a situation, if he ordered to retreat, he would face an inevitable collapse.
So. He could only grit his teeth and let the soldiers continue to rush forward.
And in his heart, Dolgon secretly prayed for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, so that there could be a glimmer of hope for success.
The gods and Buddhas of the heavens can't bless him. Because there are no gods and Buddhas in this world at all.
Deserters began to appear, and even the overseers killed them, but they could not stop the soldiers from turning their horses and fleeing to the rear. Dolgon looked at them one by one, and finally sighed helplessly.
The artillery bombardment continues.
A cannonball landed right above Dolgon's head. And then it exploded.
The flowering shells of the Imperial artillery are very well made, and the power of the explosion is also very good.
As a result, Dorgon was fortunate enough to fall victim to the shell.
Of course. He was not the first person to die under such shells, but the impact of his death was enormous.
When Dorgon and dozens of his own soldiers were killed, the remaining 20,000 soldiers were no longer under the control and command of the officers.
Originally, it was just a scattered rout of a few people, but when Dorgon was killed, it turned into a complete rout.
Without the core pillar of Dolgon, the morale of the army is also an inevitable result.
After all, Dolgon and they were facing the Song Imperial Army, which had a style of weapons close to modern times. Therefore, with cold weapons, how could they defeat it.
Therefore, it is not an accident that Dorgon was killed, only if he was not killed.
Of course, if Dorgon had been hiding behind, maybe he wouldn't have died.
It's a pity that in this situation, if he doesn't rush to the front in person, how can the people below work for him.
This is a very real problem.
And just like that, Dorgon hung up.
Hanging under an inconspicuous shell.
Actually, such a death on the battlefield is not a special thing.
After all, under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces, anyone could be killed.
It's just that the impact of Dolgon's death is too great.
It's not that those people don't want to hide it, it's just that Dolgon was killed and many people saw it, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to.
Moreover, the news spread quickly, so the people he led completely collapsed in a very short time.
Looking at the Dolgon department, which was still rushing to kill, there was a collapsed Daishan under the fierce shelling, and at this time he was completely relieved.
In fact, Dorgon put a lot of pressure on Daishan.
Not to mention anything else, Dai Shan is very aware of the virtues of the troops under his command.
It's okay to let them fight with the wind, but it's absolutely impossible to fight hard with the elite led by Dolgon.
Fortunately, the Song people's artillery was powerful, so they didn't give Dolgon a chance at all.
Before they could get closer, they were completely routed.
At this time, Daishan did not know that Dolgon had died on the way to the charge.
Otherwise, he would have had more of a lightheart.
"Your Highness, you can see that the Houjin troops on the left flank seem to have retreated. I don't know what's wrong with them, they were still rushing hard just now, why did they all retreat all of a sudden? Is there something wrong with it that is why this happens? “
An adjutant who has been keeping an eye on the situation on the left side. At this time, I reported to Zhao Hongyu about the problems on the left wing.
The reason why they pay attention to the left wing is because Zhao Hongyu and they all know that the combat power of the Daishan Department is really unbearable.
Therefore, they also paid more attention to the left wing where the Daishan Department was located.
What I'm afraid of is that Daishan can't resist it and bring some unnecessary trouble.
Well, now the hidden danger of threatening the left flank is gone, and the enemy's forces are beginning to retreat.
However, it is necessary to understand why the enemy retreated.
"Go. Tell Dai Shan to send someone out to catch a few people and come back to ask. What the hell is going on, why did it suddenly collapse? ”
Zhao Hongyu suddenly had a feeling that there was a big problem with Xingduoergon's army.
On the left flank, Dorgon had been killed, and on the right flank, the troops of the nobles who were in charge of the attack were not having a good time.
Although the artillery did not fall on the attacking right flank because it was reversed to deal with the threat on the left flank.
However, the Kyushu Japanese Soldiers also put the Eight Banners in a dilemma.
The Kyushu Japanese soldiers who adopted the Macedonian phalanx. used the javelin obtained by Zhao Hongyu as a spear to form a hedgehog array.
Although this formation is lacking in mobility, it can just restrain the attack of the Eight Banners Army at this time.
Facing the right flank of the Kyushu Legion stationed like a hedgehog, the Eight Banners generals who were responsible for attacking this side were itching their teeth.
But. But they couldn't find a way to crack it for a while.
Let's use long-range shooting, but the Kyushu Japanese Legion is equipped with 'explosion-proof suits', helmet knee pads, elbow pads, shoulder pads, and military boots with steel plates, as well as riot shields. These provided good protection measures for the Kyushu Japanese soldiers.
Therefore, the long-range hanging fire of the Eight Banners Army could not crack the Macedonian phalanx like a hedgehog at all. Even if they plucked up the courage to charge a few times. It's just that it has added a lot of grievances.
In the face of such a strong defense, even the experienced elite cavalry of the Eight Banners felt a little tricky.
In the past, in fact, they also had a way to deal with this kind of turtle hedgehog array.
It's just that in this situation, they can't be allowed to slowly consume.
It can be said that now Dolgon's plan is completely bankrupt.
The attacks on the left and right flanks were completely unsuccessful, and the attacks on the Duoduo side were not smooth.
Basically, Zhao Hongyu's side did not start to take the initiative to attack, but the army of Dolgon's side had gradually fallen into a disadvantage.
Such a situation could not have been imagined by the people on Dorgon's side.
Originally, they thought that with an army of 150,000, no matter how bad it was, they would be able to maneuver for a while.
Who knows, as soon as they started fighting, they found out that such an idea was a complete joke.
The Eight Banners troops on the right flank, in a dilemma, did not know whether to retreat or continue the offensive.
On the left, they don't know that Dorgon has been killed.
If I knew the news, I guess I wouldn't be so embarrassed.
And Duoduo, who was responsible for attacking the Imperial Army front, was already red-eyed at this time. Even though his troops had suffered more than fifty percent casualties, he continued to order his troops to continue to charge, forcing the soldiers to their deaths.
The 20,000 Imperial Army halted the momentum of Duoduo's offensive with five deadly shots, and inflicted heavy casualties on him.
On the other hand, on the side of the Imperial Army, not even a single hair has been lost.
Such a battle is almost impossible in this era.
At least, so far, Zhao Hongyu's side has still had zero deaths.
There were only a few hundred unlucky ones who were wounded by bows and arrows, but none of them were fatal.
"Your Highness, there is news from Daishan's side, and Dolgon seems to have been killed when he hit the left flank!"
At this time, the adjutant brought back an important piece of news from Daishan.
Dorgon was blown up!
Zhao Hongyu's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Is this true?" ”
The adjutant nodded: "Daishan sent a team of 1,000 people to pursue and capture a lot of people. There should be no mistake in getting this news out of the mouths of the captives. ”
Zhao Hongyu clapped his hands and laughed.
"Haha! Dorgon is dead, well dead! ", It's not that Zhao Hongyu gloated, but that Dolgon's death at this time is indeed a good thing." Tell Daishan right away, let him attack with his whole army, and give me a shock to the enemy army opposite him. At the same time, tell the Army Corps to slowly push me over! ”
Upon learning the news of Dolgon's death, Zhao Hongyu immediately decided to start fighting back.
Because this is a great opportunity, a chance to end this fight...... (To be continued......)
