The sound of artillery rumbled, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the battlefield. Both armies were retreating until they were three or four miles apart, giving room for the artillery of the two armies to fight each other.

Dolgon watched the Qing army hurriedly rearrange the formation, and saw that his artillery team in front of the formation had been covered by the artillery of the Daping army, and he knew in his heart that his artillery team was finished.

Taking advantage of the gap between the formations, Dolgon had already gathered the generals of the various Qing army units. But seeing the fierce artillery fire of the Daping Army, the faces of those Qing army generals were not very good. The unfavorable start of the war, coupled with the rebellion of the troops, cast a shadow on the hearts of all the Qing generals.

Dolgon looked at the faces of these generals and coughed lightly: "Ahem! "Let them focus on themselves.

"The battle just now was a bit chaotic. But no wonder you, no one expected the rebels. But that's it, we still fought evenly with the Han army, and we didn't suffer any losses! Dorgon said calmly.

However, as soon as he said this, the faces of those Qing army generals also became a little angry. Indeed, in the battle just now, the casualties on both sides were about the same. Judging by the number of casualties, it seems that they are evenly matched. Of course, you can't care about the two rebel troops, let alone the lost artillery team. Therefore, Dolgon's words played a trick, which had the effect of boosting the morale of the generals.

"Let's not talk about the previous battles! However, you should also understand in your hearts that the Han army is worse than us. This king decided: We can't stick to it, but we must give full play to the advantages of our national athletes. Ride on a horse. It's not effective to defend, we still have to attack. Dorgon continued.

"Exactly! Precisely! Azig on the side said, "Fourteenth brother! We were pressed and beaten. The athletes can't stand this kind of grievance for a long time. It should have been fought a long time ago, and the arrogance of the Han dog should be suppressed. ”

Dolgon nodded to Azig, and then said, "Our artillery team has attracted the Han army's artillery team, and now the Han army's artillery team is also lined up in the middle lane, and it is difficult to move. Without artillery, the Han army would be missing one of the greatest weapons. Our iron cavalry will hit the two wings of the Han army. Strive to crush the Han army in one fell swoop. ”

"Prince Ying! Tubery! The two of you are feint on the right flank with the Eight Banners, two White Flags, and Two Red Flags! Note! Fight harder! Attract the Han army to the right flank. Dorgon ordered Azig and Tuberi.

"Wow!"

"Prince Su! King Pingxi! The two of you are carrying two yellow flags and Guanning iron horses, waiting for the order of this king. Once the right flank is successful, you must charge decisively, and you must break the left flank of the Han army at once. Fight to defeat even their mid-lanes! Dolgon then ordered Hauge and Wu Sangui.

"Wow!"

"This prince led the Han army flag and other banner troops to block the middle of the Han army." Dorgon then ordered.

"Wow!"

"Ladies and gentlemen! Strive for the First World War. Wait for the king's order, and when the whole army attacks, they must not retreat. Violators will be dealt with by military law. ”

"Wow!"

……

In the morning of the battle. Both sides suffered more than three thousand casualties. However, the two units of the Qing army fought against the water at the same time, which caused the Qing army to be extremely passive. For this reason, Dolgon did not hesitate to sacrifice his artillery team to temporarily stabilize the situation and rearrange his troops in preparation for the next battle.

As for the battle that had already taken place, Dolgon also reflected in time: after the Daping army of Zhilu Dao took the initiative to attack, the Qing army was ready to defend the mainstay. First wear off the vigor of the Daping Army, and then counterattack the whole army.

However, this tactic put the Qing army in a passive position. Don't mention such an accident as the anti-water before the battle. Just saying that the Qing army was mainly cavalry, with strong mobility and strong attack power, it should not be bent on defending it. Using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, this is the reason why the Qing army is passive.

Fortunately, Dorgon saw this in time, and he immediately adjusted his tactics. In the next battle, the Qing army will turn from defense to offense, give full play to its own advantages, and strive to completely defeat the Daping army with continuous attacks.

As the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield cleared, the artillery positions of the Qing army were in shambles. The few artillery pieces that were still relatively intact were all twisted and crooked, and the positions were empty. The Qing army's general artillery and general artillery were all lost in the artillery bombardment battle just now.

And the artillery losses of the Daping Army were not small, and in the battle just now, more than a dozen guns were also blown up in front and behind. But in any case, the threat of long-range artillery of the Qing army has been removed, and now the Daping army can attack with all its might.

Therefore, when the artillery bombardment was in the second half of the battle, the infantry and cavalry artillery phalanx of the Daping Army had quietly advanced to the back of its own artillery position. On the one hand, it was to protect its own artillery positions and prevent the counter-charge of the Qing cavalry; On the other hand, it was also to launch an offensive against the Qing army at the first moment of ending the shelling. Therefore, when the two armies continued to fight, it was still the Daping Army that launched the attack first.

In the next battle, the Daping army had to use the method of intensive artillery fire to disperse the Qing army's troops piece by piece, so as to accumulate a small amount and change from quantitative to qualitative, and finally defeat all the Qing troops.

At this time, the ten phalanxes that took the lead in the charge just now withdrew to rest, the cavalry led by Ma Shouying also withdrew, and even the troops of Kang Zhengwu and Du Laoliu also collected their weapons and placed them behind the formation of the Daping army, and took care of them for the time being. And the ten complete phalanxes that were transferred up were still moving forward towards the Qing army.

According to Dolgon's order, the Qing army, which had regrouped in good formation, also began to advance, and they moved forward, still lining up the oars and carts in the front, making a defensive posture, so as to paralyze the Daping army.

It wasn't until the two armies were only about a mile apart that the Qing army finally saw the end of the dagger. They spread out the defensive formation on the right, revealing the cavalry array that had been prepared behind them.

As the war drums sounded, a linear array of cavalry as long as 100 horsemen swooped towards the two phalanxes on the left flank of the Daping Army.

"Gunners are ready to shoot in turn!"

"Swing the gun!"

The officers of the two phalanxes on the left flank of the Daping Army shouted orders at the same time. The soldiers of these two phalanxes were also immediately ready for battle. Five rows of musketeers were quickly lined up in front, and the phalanx soldiers in the back also stepped on the tail of their spears with their feet, arranged them at different angles, and immediately set up a spear array.

In the blink of an eye, the Qing army had already rushed into a distance of 100 paces, with a shout: "Shoot!" The Daping Army's rounds of fire began to fire. (To be continued......)
