Chapter 308 Artillery Battle
There were many cavalry of the Qing army, and in order to widen the distance and consume the horsepower of the eastern captives, the left and right flanks of the large array of the Jingbei army were not lined up with the Chinese army, but were convex to face the Qing army that was arraying.
"I didn't expect the pseudo-Qing Prince Li to come in person."
On the Yuan Rong car, Li Xingzhi looked at the three-pole banner set up in the Qing army's army formation and the more than 20,000 foot cavalry in the opposite army's formation, Li Xingzhi did not expect that the Qing Dynasty's Prince of Li, Daishan, and Gongshun King Kong Youde were lurking under his nose.
"Dashuai, Jinzhou is so critical, Huang Taiji actually pulled out two red flags and went south, this is to annihilate my Northern Expedition army in one fell swoop!"
Looking at the dense crowd of people and the orderly military formation of the Qing army on the opposite side, Xu Yixian, Yang Ji and others were all worried.
"Quickly send an order to Li Dingguo, let him seize Jinzhou, cut off the rear road of Dongyu, our army has a naval division stationed in Lushun, the back road is safe, inform all departments to hold out until dark."
Li Xingzhi frowned and looked at the puppet Qing princes stationed on the opposite slope, although Lushun is currently a battlefield, but Jinzhou is the key.
What he has to do now is to firmly attract more than 20,000 Qing troops to southern Liaoning and buy time for Li Dingguo to block the retreat of the Qing army.
"Hehe, Xiao Li Thief is also a false name of Lang, he will be cowardly before fighting, and put out a defensive formation to face my Qing army, but I don't know that the brave will win when they meet on the narrow road, and I will win this battle."
Li Xingzhi was observing the military formation of the Qing army, and Prince Li Daishan of the Qing Dynasty was also observing the military formation of the Jingbei army.
On the high slope of his station, Dai Shan clearly found that the large array of Xiao Li Thief had a zigzag structure, but the left and right wings were slightly behind, in his opinion, such a formation obviously wanted to get the response of the Chinese army.
"Amma, what do you think we should fight?"
"Let Namutu and Line Guoan attack the junction of the left flank of the Ming thief and the Chinese army, once a breakthrough is made, Nuo Min will lead the cavalry to outflank him and divide the left flank of Xiao Li Thief from his large array."
Dai Shan ignored his son's questions, but kept conveying military orders.
"Karchu, your task is also to cut off the right flank and the middle army of the Ming thief, buy time for this king to break through the front defense line of the Xiao Li thief, if it goes well, you can raid the rear team of the Xiao Li thief from the flank."
"Baranqi, you have pulled out all the more than 600 white-armored soldiers of my two red flags and concentrated them in the Chinese army, this time this king wants to break the enemy in one fell swoop."
"Chirp ......!"
A group of generals of the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners, with serious expressions, marched straight to their military formations with swords and horses.
"Heshuotu, Baiyintu, you two will make the king's heavy armored cavalry a good order, if the progress of the Chinese army is not good, you two will give the king a horse to the thief Chinese army."
"Oh, the minions and others must obey the prince's orders."
Heshuo Tu and Baiyin Tu are the two solid mountain Ezhen of the Zhenghong Banner, and they are also Dai Shan's henchmen, so Dai Shan handed over his most elite hole card, a heavy cavalry of about 500 people, to the two commanders.
This batch of heavy cavalry, war horses and soldiers are carefully selected, not only people wear double armor, but also war horses wear face armor, with the financial and material resources of the two red flags can only be compiling 500 horses, but also the capital of Dai Shan's foothold in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"Woo, woo, woo......!"
The desolate horn of the bull horn continued to cry sadly, and the royal flag of the Great Qing Dynasty Prince Daishan continued to sway left and right in the light wind, which was the signal of the Prince of Li urging the troops.
Amid the earth-shattering sound of drums and cannons, groups of soldiers from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han slowly pressed towards the front line of the Jingbei Army with neat steps.
Flags are waving, war horses are galloping, and a big war is about to break out.
"Bang, bang, bangใ......!"
As the battle lines of the two sides got closer and closer, the artillery of both sides roared at the same time.
Dense cannons rained down on the large arrays of both sides, frantically harvesting human lives.
The bravery of the individual is so humble in the face of the fierce artillery fire, and people are constantly hit by the cannons, and countless blood splashes are splashed in the dense sea of people.
It's just that the artillery in Dai Shan's hand is a small cannon of about 800 catties brought by Kong Youde in Shenyang, although there are 600 guns, but the range and power are far from the Hongyi cannons of the Jingbei Army.
"Raise the flag, inform Su Guanhai to bombard the artillery positions of the Tartars, and ignore their foot cavalry!"
On the Yuan Rong car, Li Xingyi had a serious face and issued the first military order between waving the flag.
"The marshal gave a signal to inform the artillery team to immediately extend the firepower and hit the Tartar artillery."
The commander of the Hongyi cannon was the guerrilla Su Guanhai in Shuishi Town, this time the Shuishi attacked Shuangdao and Tiger Tail, Su Guanhai's performance was remarkable, and Li Xingzhi also had a cultivation intention for this young man, so he was transferred from Shuishi Town to his side.
Although he has been in the Jingbei Army for nearly two years and has also achieved the high position of the general of the Navy Division, he is not an old man who follows Li Xingzhi after all, and the Navy Division has always been outside the Lu Division, and his status is a certain gap with Wang Zhong, Yang Biao and other major generals of the Jingbei Army, and now his nephew is favored by Li Xingzhi, which makes him dislike.
"Quick, adjust the muzzle of the cannon, fill Lao Tzu with medicine, and hit the Tartar artillery team fiercely."
"Bang, bang, bang......!"
The gunner skillfully readjusted the Hongyi cannon, and one by one the gunners holding torches waved the torches in their hands heavily, and the lead bullets weighing several pounds flew out in an instant.
"Boom, boom......!"
More than 100 loud noises came, and the artillery team arranged behind the Qing army's large array was suddenly covered by the Hongyi artillery fire of the Jingbei Army.
More than 20 artillery pieces were smashed under the dense artillery, and four artillery wagons of the Qing army were even smashed to pieces, and the wheels of the cars that were blown up by the cannons bounced high, and several gunners of the Qing army who had no time to dodge were knocked to the ground by the broken artillery trucks, and then penetrated their chests by the wheels of the cars that fell from the sky.
"Pull the gun carriage back, pull the gun carriage back!"
In the face of the powerful firepower of the Jingbei Army, Bai Chengen, the general of the Red Banner Han Army commanded in the rear, urgently urged his artillery to transfer the remaining artillery, at this moment he had a trace of doubts about this battle, although he knew that the Ming army brought a lot of Hongyi cannons, but he did not expect that Xiao Li thief would actually disassemble all the Hongyi cannons from the naval division.
He is Kong Youde's brother-in-law and an old man who follows Kong Youde, so he is naturally reluctant to let the artillery under his own domain be destroyed by the firepower of the Jingbei Army.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
At the same time as the Han army flag transferred the artillery team, the Hongyi artillery of the Jingbei Army once again concentrated fire to attack, and countless artillery pieces fell again, and this time the Jingbei Army artillery team achieved greater results.
Nearly 50 or so pieces of Qing artillery were directly bombed off the artillery truck, and gunpowder and artillery that had not had time to be transferred were also hit everywhere by the flying shells.
Nearly 100 soldiers of the Han Army Banner were either killed by the cannon or were killed on the spot by the explosion ignited by the medicine and the cannon.
