On a small dirt slope on the other side of the Yellow River.

Li Zicheng took Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Zuo Maodi and Liu Zongmin and other civil and military officers to watch the battle.

However, in addition to the civil and military generals of Dashun, Li Zicheng also has a big man wearing Mongolian leather robes by his side, which is incompatible with the surrounding Dashun civil and military forces.

This Mongol Han was the second brother of the leader of the Dzungar tribe, Batur Huntaiji. Chechnya.

The Khoros family is also an ancient family in Mongolia, almost as famous as the Golden Family, and a large number of powerful people have emerged in history, such as Mahamu, Yexian, and Tuhuan.

This Chechnya, although he is very young, is also a powerful person.

This time, under the order of Batur Hui, he led 3,000 camel cavalry to form an alliance with the Dashun Congress, firstly, to defeat the Jiannu who coveted the throne of the Mongol co-lord, and secondly, to spy on the reality of Dashun and prepare for the future use of troops.

Obviously, Batur Hui's mind is still very clear, knowing that Dashun will become a threat to Dzungaria in the future.

Of course, for the Dzungar Ministry at this stage, getting rid of the rule of the Khan, the leader of the Oirat League, is the top priority.

By the way, on another world front, the Khan, the leader of the Oirat League, had already presented himself to the Manchus at this time.

However, instead of offering his vassal status to the Manchus, the Khan wanted to compete with the Manchus for the title of Mongol co-ruler, otherwise it would be impossible for the Dzungars to send 3,000 camel cavalry to join the alliance.

And the Dzungar Ministry Taiji Baturhui also wanted to take the opportunity to expand his influence, so he readily agreed to send troops.

However, even Baturhun himself did not expect that the 800 camel boom cannons he asked Chechnya to bring to the Hetao would have such a big impact on the war situation.

Seeing that Jiannu's front team suffered heavy casualties under the repeated bombardment of 800 camel whirlwind cannons, and then turned around and fled, and even broke Jiannu's rear team, Li Zicheng was shocked beyond pen and ink, and Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Liu Zongmin and other Dashun civil and military forces were also shocked and did not make a sound for a long time.

It turns out that artillery is used in field battles, and it turns out that it is so sharp?

The top brass of the Dashun Army felt that their cognition of field warfare had been refreshed.

When the Dashun army fought against the Ming army and Jiannu before, it was not without encountering artillery.

Even the Dashun army imitated many cannons, but the effect seemed to be very limited.

The main thing is that it is too bulky and extremely inconvenient to move, and it is okay to use it for siege, but it is not enough for field warfare.

Because the enemy is not blind, let alone stupid, he will rush forward stupidly after seeing your cannon.

As long as the enemy changes places, or even changes directions, it will be difficult for heavy artillery such as the Hongyi cannon or the Franc cannon to play their due role.

Heavy artillery is also not to say that it is completely unsuitable for field warfare.

However, before the war, it is often necessary to do a lot of preparation and deception, which is very troublesome.

However, the Dzungar camel whirlwind seemed to avoid the shortcomings of heavy artillery.

Purely in terms of lethality, the Dzungar camel whirlwind cannon is far from being comparable to the Hongyi cannon equipped by the Ming army and Jiannu, and even the Ming army's Franc machine gun is not comparable, and it is a little stronger than the tiger squat cannon.

However, the camel boom cannon has a huge advantage over the Hongyi cannon and the Franc cannon, that is, it is extremely lightweight, and it can be mounted on the back of a camel to follow the infantry forward, which is very powerful.

Imagine the infantry support artillery of the XVII century, what is this concept?

At this time, other countries did not even have field artillery in the real sense, but the army of Dzungaria already had infantry support artillery, which is outrageous.

In another time and space, Dzungaria, with a population of less than 700,000, fought with the Manchu Qing with a population of 200 million for 70 years.

Seeing Jiannu scattering and fleeing, Gu Junen couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Chechnya.

The camel boom cannon of the Junggar tribe is so sharp, once the Dashun Dynasty and Oirat fight each other and the two countries go to war, will the Dashun army be able to withstand the camel boom cannon? I'm afraid it's hard to bear.

Thinking of this, Gu Junen was anxious for a while.

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Shun Dynasty were really frightened by the power of the camel boom cannon in the field.

However, Gao Yigong, the commander of the rear battalion in the front, that is, Li Zicheng's wife and brother, had already taken this opportunity to lead the main force of the rear battalion to launch an attack.

However, Gao Yigong is still very strict in governing the army, at least much stronger than Li Guo.

Even if a fierce attack was launched, the 40,000 foot soldiers in the rear camp still maintained an intact formation, like a wave, rushing towards Jiannu's main formation wave after wave.

Jiannu's front team and back team have collapsed.

Now, as long as the Jiannu main formation is also crushed in one fell swoop, they will win the battle of Hetao.

It's just that no one cheered, whether it was Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Gao Yigong and other Dashun's civil and military forces, and no one even showed a happy look, they were all shocked.

……

Looking at the Dashun foot soldiers rushing over like a tide in front of him, Huang Deheng felt secretly frightened.

Huang Deheng was originally the coat of the Zhengbai Flag vest Badahai, because he saved Badahai's life in the Battle of Shanyang, and he was carried the flag after the merit and became a bannerman of the Zhengbai Banner Han Army.

In the decisive battle of Hetao, the Eight Banners Han Army can be said to have poured out.

By the way, the number of posts in the Eight Banners Han Army was restored to 20,000 people.

Moreover, the 20,000-strong Eight Banners Han Army has been built into an all-firearms force by Dole, with 6,000 artillery battalions, and the remaining 14,000 are all musketeers.

However, only half of the musketeers were armed with flintlock pistols.

The other half of the musketeers were still armed with captured bird guns or rumi guns.

Huang Deheng used a flintlock pistol, and he liked it after just a few test shots.

"Kneel down in front of the team!" The white flag Han army Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu rode past the front of the formation, shouting loudly, Huang Deheng and the 14,000 musketeers in the line knelt on the ground.

In the next moment, the artillery battalion of the rear team undisguised, revealing a venerable red-clothed cannon.

"Put!" Accompanied by a roar, followed by a continuous loud sound of "Peng Peng Peng".

Huang Deheng didn't look back, but he could clearly feel that the ground under his feet was trembling, his eardrums were about to be deafened, and two hundred Hongyi cannons were firing at the same time, and the movement was too loud.

When I looked up again, I saw that the cannonballs fell on the grass beach and splashed up the earth, and the splashed soil was still rapidly extending towards the Yellow River, pulling out mud on the grass beach, like a huge iron rake was quickly plowing from the grass beach of Junzijin.

The mud soon stretched in front of the infantry of the puppet Shun army, and then drilled into it.

The next moment, where the mud passed, the infantry of the puppet Shun army broke limbs one after another and fell to the ground, but this time, at least a thousand puppet Shun soldiers were killed or wounded.

……

On the other side of the river, on top of the hill.

"This is ......" Li Zicheng said in surprise, "Hongyi cannon? ”

Song Xiance also shouted in disbelief: "When did Jiannu's Hongyi cannon be delivered?" ”

"I guess it was quietly transported while it was dark." Gu Junen said, "After all, now that the Naturalization City has been surrounded by regiments, the defenders in the city have no way to monitor the movements of Jiannu at all times. ”

At this time, Chechnya spoke a lot in Mongolian.

The Mongolian interpreter next to him immediately translated: "Lord Chechen said that Jiannu's Hongyi cannon is very difficult to load, so the time interval between the cannons is very long, at most two cannons, the Dashun army can rush to the front of Jiannu's artillery position, and at that time, you can achieve a one-sided slaughter of Jiannu's artillery." ”

"That's right." Gu Junen thought so.

Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others also felt a little relieved.

……

Chechnya's estimate of the rate of fire of the Hongyi cannon can be said to be not bad at all.

When the Jiannu Hongyi cannon fired the first row of shells, the puppet Shun infantry was still about 1,500 meters away from the Jiannu artillery position, but by the time the Jiannu artillery fired the second row of shells, the puppet shun infantry had already approached within 700 meters, and by the time the Jiannu artillery was ready to fire the third row of shells, there was no chance.

Because the puppet infantry had approached to within 100 meters.

This distance is already less than the minimum range of the Cardinal Cannon.

By this time, Jiannu's red-coated cannon had basically become an ornament.

However, in addition to the red-coated cannons, Jiannu also had the musket team of the Eight Banners Han Army.

"Front team, up!" With Shi Tingzhu and other Eight Banner Han Army Gushan Ezhen roaring, Huang Deheng and other 14,000 musketeers of the Eight Banner Han Army stood up one after another.

"Repeat and take turns!" Shi Tingzhu and the others continued to roar.

The first row of 2,000 musketeers, including Huang Deheng, raised their flintlock muskets at the same time, aiming their muzzles at the puppet Shun infantry in front of them, and the distance between the two sides was only 50 paces (about 80 meters).

"Put!" Accompanied by the roars and gestures of the eight solid mountain foreheads, Huang Deheng and other 2,000 musketeers pulled the trigger of the flintlock pistol at the same time, and then there was the sound of the firing gun.

After firing the gun, Huang Deheng immediately retreated and reloaded according to his usual training.

The second row of musketeers quickly stepped forward, raised their guns again to aim, and then pulled the trigger.

This was followed by the loud sound of guns, and clouds of gunpowder smoke spread from the position, and the light became worse, so that it was almost impossible to see the puppet infantry who were killing on the opposite side.

Immediately after that, the musketeers in the third row stepped forward.

Then there is the fourth row, then the fifth row......

……

Huang Deheng, who was in the middle of the formation, was completely obscured by the smoke of gunpowder.

But Dolgon, because he was diagonally behind, saw it clearly.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, Dolgon could clearly see the puppet Shun infantry lined up in a neat dense line, quickly covering the main formation of the Eight Banners Han Army.

The puppet infantry engaged in the attack was about 40,000 men.

It's a good number, two thousand per row, and a total of twenty rows before and after, adding up to forty thousand.

Why did Dorgon know that the platoon of the puppet infantry was two thousand? The reason is very simple, because the density and width of the Puppet Shun infantry queue are basically no different from those of the Eight Banners Han Army.

And the formation of the Eight Banners Han Army's main formation is 2,000 people per row.

Twenty rows of pseudo-shun foot soldiers in front and behind, rushing for such a long distance, can still maintain the basic integrity of the formation, but it is only slightly messy, which is enough to show that this is a real elite.

Compared with the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the puppet Shun army did not retreat.

It's just that, that's it, the puppet Shun army will be defeated today!

The next scene was just as Dorgon had expected.

After entering within fifty paces, the musketeers of the Eight Banners Han Army stepped forward in a row to release their guns.

Under the firepower of the Eight Banners Han Army round after round, the puppet Shun army fell to the ground one after another.

Facing the firepower of the Eight Banners Han Army, the Pseudo-Shun infantry reluctantly rushed forward for more than 20 steps, and came to within 30 steps, but the last remaining 30 steps became an insurmountable moat for the Pseudo-Shun Infantry Army.

The puppet infantry rushed forward in rows, and fell to the ground in rows.

In the blink of an eye, the front of the two armies was covered with dense corpses.

After being "shot" by about six or seven platoons and more than 10,000 foot soldiers, the pseudo-shun foot soldiers in the back were finally afraid.

Although the officers of the puppet Shun army were still agitating the foot soldiers hoarsely, the foot soldiers had already turned around and fled uncontrollably, knowing that few of them could hold out to the end.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the puppet officers also joined the ranks of the rout.

Seeing this, Dolgon's heart finally fell into his stomach.

It's just that the matter is not over yet, and the show has just begun here.

At that moment, Dolgon shouted in a deep voice: "Spread my will, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria will immediately return to assault!" Drive the Pseudo-Shun rout back, disrupt their rear formation, and make their camel boom cannon a meaningless ornament! ”

"Huh!" More than a dozen horsemen ordered the cavalry to fly away, and the order was quickly conveyed.

The Green Battalion had completely collapsed and completely lost the ability to counterattack, but the Eight Banners Manchuria had a high degree of organization, and could move from attack to retreat at any time and under any circumstances, and from retreat to attack.

After receiving Dolgon's order, the retreating Eight Banners Manchuria immediately came back.

And this time, the Eight Banners Manchuria even abandoned their chariots and went into a counterattack lightly.

As a result, the whole battle situation was reversed again, and the puppet Shun army quickly turned from victory to defeat.

Moreover, there was no chance of reversing this defeat, because the defeated defeated troops blocked the firing angle of the camel boom cannons, and the Dzungar artillery had no chance to provide artillery support.

In the end, the Dzungar artillery could only scold and retreat.

The Eight Banners Manchuria took advantage of the victory to pursue and rushed all the way across the shallow Yellow River.

Seeing this, the puppet Shun cavalry who remained on the left and right flanks also retreated across the Yellow River.

The Battle of the Hetao, which lasted for nearly six months, ended in the victory of Jiannu.

After the war, Jiannu took control of the entire Qiantao grassland, and many Tumut tribes who had originally belonged to Dashun were forced to change their ways and rejoin the camp of Jiannu.

The news reached Guihua City, and Li Yan was forced to break through.

In the end, Li Yan only led less than 2,000 cavalry to break through.

After the war, the losses of the Dashun army were also good.

The rear battalion had 120,000 troops before the Battle of Hetao, and in the end there were about 80,000 people left, and the loss was nearly one-third, which seemed to be a big loss, but the 20,000 old battalions were still there.
