Chapter 467: Kill Dorgon with One Shot
The sound of a dense platoon sounded, and the green battalion soldiers who had just rushed to the top of the wall fell backwards one after another, and then rolled down the forty-five-degree slope and fell into the trench.
At least 100 Green Battalion soldiers fell into the trenches.
And sank directly into the water and never got up again.
The rest of the Green Battalion soldiers hurriedly climbed back to the Sailor warship.
Obviously, the wooden cards of the green battalion soldiers could not withstand the close shooting of the Ming army's self-generated firearms.
Hong Chengchou said with a dark face: "Master, the lethality of the Ming army's self-generated firearms is probably not under my Qing Dynasty's self-generated firearms. ”
Dolgon snorted softly and didn't say anything, but his eyes stared at the battlefield ahead through the telescope for a moment, and then it was the turn of the sailors to fight back.
Sure enough, just as Dolgon was thinking,
Nearly 200 warships of the Qing army's naval division opened fire one after another.
More than 200 Franc cannons and more than 500 bowl-mouth guns fired fiercely at the Ming army's guns at the same time, and the scene was still extremely spectacular, and the periphery of the platform was instantly shrouded in smoke and dust.
This time the Ming army was beaten badly, because when the Qing army's sailors opened fire, the Ming army was holding their own fire guns, and half of their bodies above the chest were exposed to the parapet, hunting the fleeing green battalion.
At this time, the musketeers of the Ming army were directly beaten by the sailors.
Through the smoke and dust, Dolgon could faintly see that the Ming musketeers behind the parapet wall of the Fortress fell in an instant, at least two or three hundred.
The Furlong cannon and the bowl gun were all shots of lead.
These lead will not work on the parapet wall of the triple earth rammed.
It is the most useful to use the Ming army behind the parapet.
Only one round of artillery shelling killed and wounded two or three hundred Ming troops.
However, it is estimated that there will not be too many Ming troops who will be killed.
But Dolgon couldn't help but applaud loudly: "Good! ”
The Qing army finally inflicted substantial casualties on the Ming army at Dagukou.
Prior to this, it was really frustrating that the Qing army had paid so many casualties and lost so many materials and equipment, but failed to inflict substantial casualties on the Ming army at Dagukou.
But today, I finally saved some face.
……
On the watchtower, Chen Mingyu's face changed suddenly.
"Don't panic." Yan Yingyuan said very firmly, "How can there be immortals in war." ”
"But the casualties just now are a little too big." Chen Mingyu said worriedly, "I estimate that more than 200 soldiers were wounded or killed, but this is only the first wave of artillery bombardment of the Jiannu Water Division." ”
"It is precisely because this is the first wave of artillery shelling by the Jiannu Water Division that the casualties are so large."
Yan Yingyuan's perspective on problems is always different: "The Holy Lord once told us that the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that it will never learn from history. ”
"It's the same with wars, it's useless to say more in normal times."
"But if they suffer a loss once, they will become wiser."
"Some people have some things, and they always have to hit their heads to break the blood flow to remember them for a long time."
"Therefore, when the second wave of artillery bombardment of the Jiannu Water Division is held, it will be difficult to achieve such a result again."
"What's more, the first wave of artillery shelling just now used mostly lead, so most of the people in front should only be wounded."
"I hope you're right." Chen Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his binoculars again and pointed at the platform in front of the left, only to see that the green battalion soldiers had launched a second wave of strong attacks.
……
Jiannu still hoped to capture the Ming army's fortress as soon as possible through a strong attack.
Of course, it will definitely not be attacked by the Red Flag, but only by the Green Battalion to launch the second wave of strong attacks.
Under the coercion of Jiannu, more than 500 green battalion soldiers jumped to the wall, and then rushed to the top of the wall with heavy wooden signs, and the green battalion soldiers quickly rushed to the top of the wall this time.
In fact, the outer wall of the parapet wall is more than seven feet long.
Those who are tall and have long legs, two strides to the top.
The Ming army in the platform really learned a lesson and quickly adjusted its defensive tactics.
It wasn't until more than 500 green battalion soldiers rushed to the top of the parapet wall, ready to cross the five-foot-wide platform at the top of the wall and rush into the platform, that the Ming army suddenly got up and fired another volley with flintlock pistols.
A dense sound of guns rang out, and the green battalion soldiers on the top of the wall fell to the ground.
Dozens of life-threatening Green Battalion soldiers were lucky not to be shot, and jumped into the platform.
However, what awaited these dozens of green battalion soldiers was an even more tragic end: they were stabbed to death with a knife.
Seeing this, the Green Battalion soldiers, who were wounded and fell on the top of the wall or simply lay on the top of the wall and pretended to be dead, quickly climbed back, and climbed back to the warship along the 45-degree angle slope on the outside of the parapet, and the second assault ended in failure.
But there are Xu Green Battalion soldiers who will never go back, and will sink to the bottom of the ditch forever.
And this time, the Ming army also learned to be obedient, and did not rashly hunt and kill the fleeing green battalion.
This made the Jiannu sailor who was waiting for the rabbit to wait for a while.
……
"How?" Yan Yingyuan turned his head and asked Chen Mingyu.
"It's a long memory." Chen Mingyu bowed his head slightly.
"However, I'm afraid it won't be so easy next."
Yan Yingyuan continued: "If nothing else, Jiannu should give up the assault and start a firearm fire across the parapet wall from us. ”
"The Fran cannon of the Jiannu Naval Division's warship is useless."
"But those bowls on the warship of the Jiannu Navy Division can hit our army in the platform."
The bowl mouth gun is not a gun, but a kind of artillery similar to the tiger squat cannon, which can be shot in a curve over obstacles of a certain height, and the parapet wall of the gun platform is only five feet high, so it naturally cannot block the bowl mouth gun.
After a pause, Yan Yingyuan said again: "Most of the Jiannu sailors are Dengzhou sailors or Dongjiang sailors who defected with Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, so it is likely that there will be a large number of firearms, such as fire pots, fire barrels and rockets, etc., if this is the case, it will be more troublesome." ”
When Chen Mingyu heard this, he immediately began to worry again.
"Ji Heng, the left and right platforms won't be unstoppable, right?"
"That's definitely not going to happen, I can still hold it."
"It's good if you can hold it, as long as you can keep it until dark."
Chen Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced back again.
I saw that the surface of the North Sea was as clear as a wash, and there was not a single ship in sight.
Chen Mingyu began to suffer from gains and losses again, and the sailor wouldn't have not come, right?
……
It was not only Chen Mingyu who suffered from gains and losses, but also Dorgon.
Seeing the more than 500 Green Battalion soldiers who launched another assault retreated, Dolgon's face also fell.
No way? With the assistance of the sailor, it won't be impossible to take it, right? If he couldn't take Dagu this time, Dolgon couldn't think of what to do, and withdraw his troops back?
It is impossible to withdraw troops and go back.
The knife against Daqing's throat must be removed.
At that moment, Dolgon turned around and shouted at Cao Eryu: "Spread my will, and push the well cart forward another five hundred steps." ”
Dolgon instinctively wanted to be closer to the battlefield in order to grasp the battlefield information more accurately and in a timely manner.
This way, when necessary, it can also intervene in time to prevent Azig from making mistakes at critical moments.
"Master, five hundred steps further will be almost to the position of the red-coated cannon." Cao Eryu said with some concern, "Wouldn't this be too dangerous?" ”
"What danger can it be?" Dorgon said angrily.
"The range of the Ming army's red-coated cannon is only seven or eight hundred steps, hurry up and pass the decree."
"Huh." Cao Eryu didn't dare to persuade again, and immediately ordered the white flag to push several well carts forward.
Several wells carried Manchurian nobles such as Dolgon, Fulin, Luo Luohun, and Luck Dehun, as well as Han ministers such as Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, slowly moved forward, and finally came to the artillery camp position after a quarter of an hour.
At this time, the whole field of vision is much wider than just now.
……
"Gongchen, what do you think is that?"
Yan Yingyuan Yao pointed to the well car that was slowly approaching in front of him.
"It's ...... Well Diaphragm? Chen Ming turned the telescope, looked at it for a while, and then suddenly said, "No, this seems to be a lookout car rebuilt from a well?" ”
"That's right, this is Wangche, I found out on the first day of the arrival of the Jiannu army."
Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice, "If nothing else, Dolgon and Fu Lin are right there. ”
In the past few days, the Ming army has also captured a lot of prisoners of the green battalion, and from the mouths of these prisoners of the green battalion, we can know that not only Dolgon and Fulin, but also the princes of Jiannu, the county king, Beile and Beizi, are almost all here.
"Wan Heng, you deliberately let the Hongyi cannon be half loaded with gunpowder, it shouldn't be the idea to fight, right?"
"Why not? If you can kill Dolgon with one shot, Jiannu will definitely be in chaos, and it is entirely possible to fall apart overnight, because no one in Jiannu at the moment can shake the Eight Banners except for Dolgon. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Yingyuan said again: "If Jiannu falls into chaos or even infighting, it is not a question of whether we can hold the Dagu Pass, but whether Jiannu can resist our sharp knife inserted into Beijing!" At that time, the Holy Lord personally led the Xuzhou army to the Northern Expedition, and Jiannu was directly destroyed! ”
When Chen Ming heard this, even his heart skipped two beats.
But soon, Chen Mingyu sighed lightly and said: "It's a pity, the distance is still far away, if these wells can go two hundred steps further, our 4-inch field guns can hit it." ”
"Don't worry, Jiannu's well will go forward."
Yan Yingyuan said: "After all, it's not dangerous, is it?" ”
……
Azig had realized that he could not attack blindly.
Counting on a blind attack, the 20,000 Green Battalion soldiers will not be able to take the platform even if they are all dead.
So Azig quickly changed his offensive tactics, first sending the Green Battalion Knife Players to squat behind the parapet wall, and then letting the Green Battalion Musketeers lure the Ming Army's musketeers to shoot at them through the Knife Players.
As soon as the musketeers of the Ming army showed up, the green battalion soldiers hurriedly lay down en masse.
Then the bowl guns and furlong cannons on the naval ships will take the opportunity to fire.
Of course, this is only Azig's assumption, and it is impossible to achieve such a tacit understanding in practice.
Either the bowl guns or the Fran cannons were fired late, or the Green Battalion musketeers failed to complete the lure of the enemy, and sometimes there were even accidental injuries, and the scene was called chaos.
But even if it is not tacit, this tactic is still very threatening to the Ming army.
In addition, in addition to the musket fire between the Jiannu and the Ming army, various attack methods on both sides also emerged one after another.
The Ming army constantly threw grenades through the parapet wall, and sometimes threw 10,000 enemies on top of the parapet.
10,000 enemies often burn a large area on the top of the wall, which can burn and burn many green battalion soldiers in an instant, and grenades can also pose a certain threat to the warships of the Jiannu Naval Division.
After about half an hour of stalemate, a ship sank after being hit by multiple grenades.
Of course, the greatest threat to Jiannu is the twenty tiger squat cannons in the platform.
Because the Tiger Squat Cannon can directly launch artillery attacks on the naval warships outside the wall through the five-foot-high parapet wall.
The only pity is that the Tiger Squat Cannon can only fire 30 taels of combined bullets or five-dollar lead, and the five-dollar heavy lead can only kill and injure the Jiannu personnel, and the 30-tael combined bullets can only make holes one after another on the deck or side of the Jiannu Naval Division's warship, and cannot directly blow up and sink the warship.
If you want to sink a warship quickly, it is still the best flowering bullet such as a grenade.
It's just that under the blow of the Ming army's tiger squatting cannons, grenades, and 10,000 enemies and other weapons, the Jiannu Sailor Division was also very embarrassed, and it was too busy just to plug the holes on the deck or side of the sailor's warship.
However, the Ming army in the platform was not easy at all, because the Jiannu Naval Division still retains many traditional weapons of the Ming Army's naval division, such as chimneys, cigarette cans, fire bricks, rockets and even divine fire crows.
And these weapons can also be used to attack through a five-foot-high parapet wall.
In addition, the threat of the Jiannu Water Master's bowl mouth gun is especially great, and this is the same as the Tiger Squat Cannon.
All of a sudden, the inside and outside of the two platforms were in flames, and the smoke was so thick that people couldn't even open their eyes.
The situation is at a stalemate for the time being, Jiannu has no ability to kill into the platform, but the Ming army can't help the Jiannu sailors outside the parapet, the two sides can only throw their firearms into each other across the five-foot-high parapet, Jiannu hopes that the Ming army will run out of throwing firearms first, and the Ming army also points to Jiannu to exhaust all kinds of firearms first.
In reality, however, both sides were well stocked with firearms.
There were no concerns about running out of firearms, at least for a short time.
……
The fierce fighting continued until the evening.
The Ming army and Jiannu all lit torches.
Looking at the Beihai Sea more than ten miles away, you can clearly see the entire battlefield.
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui, who were standing on the mast of the naval division's flagship, saw this scene, even if they were more than ten miles away, they could still faintly hear the sound of firing guns.
Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but become excited.
After the Battle of Liuluo Bay, it has not been more than ten years since such a big scene.
At that moment, Zheng Zhilong shouted: "All ships obey the order, raise their sails, and move forward at full speed!" ”
Zheng Hongkui immediately shouted below: "Raise the sails and go at full speed!" ”
The sailors on the flagship quickly raised the hard bone sails, and the signal soldiers guarding the middle mast also quickly hung out the light signals, and when they saw the light signals on the flagship, the other warships of the sailors also raised their bony sails one after another, and under the urging of the southeast wind, the originally slow warships gradually began to speed up.
