On October 12, 1647, Dolgon led 50,000 Qing troops and 40,000 soldiers to arrive at the Hunhe battlefield, and more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry from the ten banners of the Horqin Department also arrived at the battlefield at the same time, and then formed a confrontation with the Ming army, and the second bloody battle of the Hunhe River officially kicked off.

The Qing army's large nest car was quickly erected.

Dorgon went up to the nest with a few hardcore traitors.

Standing on the roof of a large nest car six or seven zhang high, you can clearly see the formation of the Ming army from a high position, so you are very confused when you see the "instrument" array set up by the Ming army.

In fact, strictly speaking, the formation of the Ming army is not a standard "instrument" word.

Because the center of the word "instrument" is a dog character, but the middle of the Ming army's formation is also a mouth word of the same size, so this is actually a formation composed of five mouth words.

And the five words are separated from each other.

There is a passage between the two adjacent openings.

Seeing this formation, Dorgon and the others were stunned.

"What kind of formation is this?" Dorgon frowned.

Hou Fangyu frowned and said, "Could it be an enhanced version of the hollow phalanx?" ”

"Enhanced? It doesn't make much difference when it looks at it. Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "Maybe a hollow phalanx can't stand so many musketeers, so it's divided into five hollow phalanxes." ”

"It's possible." Dolgon agreed with Hong Chengchou's judgment.

Hong Chengchou continued: "So you can break them one by one, first break the four hollow phalanxes at the four corners, and finally break the hollow phalanx in the most center, and then the Qing soldiers can directly take Chongzhen." ”

Hearing this, Hou Fangyu's heart suddenly moved and said, "Why can't you directly attack the hollow phalanx in the middle?" ”

"Directly attack the hollow phalanx in the middle?" Dolgon's heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, you are killing from the four passages in the middle of the four hollow phalanxes, and directly beheading Chongzhen Tianzi Daxu?" ”

Hou Fangyu nodded and said, "Master, look, the width of the passage in the middle of the four hollow phalanxes on the periphery is about the same, if the slave is not wrong, it is at least more than two hundred steps." ”

"The self-generated fire gun can be accurately hit within fifty steps."

"Beyond fifty steps, the accuracy drops dramatically."

"The distance is more than a hundred steps, and even the heavy armor can't be penetrated, let alone the chariot and the side van, so it is safe to have at least a hundred-step wide passage between the two adjacent Ming military formations."

After a pause, Hou Fangyu said again: "My Qing soldiers can directly rush into these four hundred-step-wide passages and attack directly at Chongzhen's Chinese army's main formation. ”

"But the Ming army is not a stake." Ning Wan asked, "If the Ming army shrinks, how should we deal with it?" ”

Once the Ming army in the four outer phalanxes shrinks, the four passages in the middle will be narrowed accordingly, and the Qing army attacking the central main formation of the Ming army from the passage will be attacked from both sides.

Being caught between two sides is no joke.

Anyone with a little brains won't do that.

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this matter, the Ming army has already used the partial vans to form a partial van formation, and there are also anti-horses and trenches dug outside the formation, so it is not easy to move." ”

After a pause, he said: "What's more, you can also send the Eight Banners Mongolian or Horqin Ten Banners cavalry to contain them, as long as the Ming army on the periphery moves, the Mongolian cavalry will take the opportunity to cover up and kill, and the Ming army will inevitably be defeated." ”

Since ancient times, it has been relatively easy to arrange troops, but it is difficult to change formations, and it is even more difficult to change formations in battle.

Therefore, when the two armies fought, as long as they chiseled through or disrupted the enemy's formation, they basically won the victory.

Like Han Xin, who can command an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and it is rare to have a famous general who fights and leaves, and there are only a few in the 5,000-year history of China.

After a pause, Hong Chengchou said again: "The most worrying thing is the artillery of the Ming army. ”

"Cannon?" Dorgon's expression was slightly abrupt when he heard this, even if he didn't use a telescope, he could see with the naked eye the hundreds of red-clothed cannons placed in the Ming army's main formation, in addition to the four hollow phalanxes in the main formation of the Chinese army and the periphery, there were tiger squat cannons in total, and all the tiger squat cannons added up to at least hundreds, which should not be underestimated.

Because the shells of the redcoat cannon can easily destroy the car.

The Tiger Squat Cannon's 30 double-closing shells were also enough to destroy the van at close range.

At this time, Hou Fangyu suddenly said: "The red-coated cannons and tiger squat cannons of the Ming army are actually not to be feared. ”

Fan Wencheng was about to refute with a straight face, but was interrupted by Hou Fangyu: "Mr. Xiandou, don't be in a hurry to refute, it's not too late for me to finish my words before refuting." ”

】

"You say." Fan Wencheng frowned.

Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but look at Hong Chengchou and Ning Wan and me, and said in his heart Hou Fangyu's mentality today is a little abnormal, is he stimulated by something?

Hou Fangyu turned back to Dolgon and said: "Master, according to the minions, the red-coated cannons and tiger squat cannons of the Ming army are not substantially different from the red-coated cannons and tiger squat cannons of my Great Qing Dynasty, and their firing speed is similar to that of our red-coated cannons and tiger squat cannons, and the fastest time is to fire more than a dozen cannons in half an hour. ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and the other three suddenly moved in their hearts.

They really ignored the rate of fire of the redcoat cannon.

Although the Red Cannons are powerful, they have a very slow rate of fire.

The Tiger Squat Cannon has a slightly faster rate of fire, but is much less powerful.

Hou Fangyu said again: "Therefore, the Qing soldiers who attacked will be hit by one cannon at most." ”

"I've made up my mind!" Dolgon immediately made up his mind to attack, and said, "The cavalry of the Ten Banners of the Horqin Department is responsible for containing the Ming troops around it, and then transfer 8 Niu Lu from the Eight Banners Han Army to attack from the middle passage." ”

Dolgon was actually very cautious, and only invested 8 cows.

This is equivalent to a tentative attack, intended to spy on the reality of the Ming army.

The order was quickly passed on, and the Eight Banners Han army began to move.

The Mongol cavalry, which had been watching from a distance, also slowly pressed up.

……

"Jiannu really intends to attack from the four middle passages."

After seeing Jiannu's transfer clearly, Xu Yingwei immediately judged the other party's intentions.

Jiannu really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he really dared to attack from the four passages, and they didn't want to think about it, if they couldn't block it with firepower, how could they leave the passages?

This is not a deliberately reserved trap.

But it's also a trap.

……

Soon, the 8 Niu Lu 2400 Eight Banners Han Army was divided into four roads, with 600 people all the way, and they slaughtered the passage in the hollow phalanx of the Ming army.

In order to protect the Han army of the Eight Banners from the fire of the Ming army from both sides of the passage, Dolgon equipped the Han army of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners with 160 vans, with 40 vans on each road.

160 vans assembled into a 4-seat movable van city,

The Eight Banners Han Army, escorting 2,400 loaded guns and ammunition, entered the passage.

Some things are really weird, although Chongzhen brought flintlock pistols and even rifled rifles to this world in advance, but the military technology of this world has not evolved and developed according to the trajectory it should have.

For example, the tactics of queuing up to shoot are deviant in this world.

The world only staged a few small queues to shoot, and quickly skipped this stage of ignorance, advanced to the chariot stage, whether it was the Ming army or the Jiannu, they all coincidentally equipped the musketeers with car battalions and chariots, and tried to keep their musketeers from being exposed to the opponent's guns.

Although it is the original vehicle, it is still a vehicle.

The front and side of the van are equipped with 15 cm thick locust or elm boards.

This thickness of locust or elm slabs is enough to withstand direct fire from flintlock pistols at close range, and it can also provide perfect defense against lead shotguns from tiger squat guns.

The shells of the Hongyi cannon will definitely not be able to stop,

However, the slow rate of fire of the Hongyi cannons in this period is not a cause for concern.

The artillery of the Ming army may have realized this, and they did not fire a single shot from beginning to end.

Until the 4-seat car city escorted 2,400 Eight Banners Han Army into the middle of the passage, the red-coated cannons or tiger squat cannons in the five phalanxes of the Ming army did not respond.

"Strange, what are the Ming artillery waiting for?"

"Do you want to wait for the Eight Banners Han Army to arrive before firing artillery?"

"There must be a demon when things go wrong, and the behavior of the Ming army is so abnormal, there must be a conspiracy." Hong Chengchou said, "Master, the Eight Banners Han Army must be vigilant, don't fall for the tricks of the Ming army!" ”

"Trickery? Dolgon frowned and asked, "What trickery?" ”

"This, the minion didn't think of for a while." Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Mines!" At this moment, Ning Wan suddenly roared, "Beware of mines!" ”

"Landmines?" Dorgon's heart sank when he heard this, and he was about to ask the herald to remind the attacking Eight Banners Han Army through the flag, when a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the Ming army in front of him.

Looking closely, I saw that the four-seater van formation that had just entered the passage had been blown up.

The Ming army didn't know how many mines were buried in the passage, anyway, after detonating, it blew up the four partial van cars of the Eight Banners Han Army at once.

The Eight Banners Han Army hiding in the Partial Car City is also full of flesh and blood.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of red-coated cannons and tiger squat cannons in the Ming army's formation fired at the same time.

Almost all of the iron bullets and lead accurately hit the four partial van car cities of the Eight Banners Han Army, and the already scattered partial van car cities instantly became even more shattered.

The Eight Banners Han Army, which was hiding in the side car city, fell again.

Then, the Ming musketeers on both sides of the passage also advanced repeatedly, taking turns to release their guns at the Eight Banners Han Army, which had lost the protection of the Partial Car City, and in an instant, more Eight Banners Han soldiers wailed and fell in a pool of blood.

In less than a moment, the Eight Banners Han Army was hit by three waves of critical attacks.

The 2,400 Eight Banners Han troops who attacked were killed or wounded in a blink of an eye.

The remaining Eight Banners Han Army, who were not injured or were more injured, turned around and ran.

Entering the mother thief, doing this is purely giving away people's heads, and there is no way to fight this battle.

However, if you want to run at this time, it is already too late, how can you run away?
