The attacking Eight Banners Han Army was in a hurry to flee for their lives, so they could only abandon the partial van.

Because the vans have been spliced into a whole, most of them have been destroyed by mines or redcoat cannons, and there is no way to move, so they can only be abandoned.

After three waves of mines, artillery, and self-generated firearms, about one-third of the eight Niulu Eight Banner Han troops who attacked for the first time suffered casualties.

The remaining two-thirds of the Eight Banners Han Army immediately left the van formation and fled back.

But without the protection of the partial van, it was directly exposed to the guns of the Ming army.

As a result, the Ming troops on both sides of the passage advanced one after another, and took turns to release guns against the Han army of the Eight Banners.

I could only hear the sound of "Boom Boom" in the ears, accompanied by the sound of Boom, puffs of white smoke rose from the Ming army, and the Eight Banners Han Army in the passage fell to the ground like cutting wheat.

Dolgon turned his head abruptly and glared at Hou Fangyu fiercely.

What about a safe passage that is at least 100 steps wide? That's it?

Hou Fangyu was also a little dumbfounded, what is the situation? It stands to reason that it shouldn't.

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, and Ning Wan and I are also confused, and the lethality of the Ming army's self-generated fire gun has subverted their perception of the self-generated fire gun.

The self-generated fire gun of the Ming army can really penetrate cotton armor a hundred steps away?

The Eight Banners Han Army only wore low-cost cotton armor, and few wore double armor.

Therefore, after losing the protection of the van, the Eight Banners Han Army became a live target, and they continued to fall to the ground under the repeated advances of the Ming army's musketeers and their turns.

More than 2,000 Eight Banners Han troops were soon killed and wounded.

"Woohoo!" There was another sound of gunfire, and the last Eight Banners Han Army also fell to the ground.

The entire battlefield soon fell silent, only the seriously wounded and dying Eight Banners Han Army fell to the ground and let out a terrible wail, and the few Eight Banners Han Army who could still move tried their best to climb back.

But gradually, these Eight Banners Han Army also lost their voices.

Cold weather, combined with a lot of blood loss, can quickly lead to shock.

Immediately, the Ming army sent stragglers to mend the Eight Banners Han Army, and at the same time buried mines in the passage.

Seeing the Ming army openly laying mines under his nose, Dolgon's face instantly became extremely embarrassed, this tentative attack was in vain, and 2,400 Eight Banners Han soldiers died in vain.

It's really blind, and nothing of value has been exchanged back.

Oh, no, after all, I figured out a little bit, there were traps in the four passages of the Ming army's array.

Hou Fangyu was also embarrassed, because one of his bad ideas buried the Eight Banners Han Army of 8 Niu Lu.

However, Dolgon didn't complain about Hou Fangyu anymore, because Hou Fangyu only provided advice, and it was he, the commander of the three armies, who really made the decision, so Hou Fangyu was not to blame for this matter.

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "It turns out that there are traps in the passage. ”

Hong Chengchou said hatefully: "The Ming army is really becoming more and more shameless, in the past, it would only use mines when defending the city or guarding the camp, but now it has even begun to use mines in field battles." ”

"yes, it's hard to guard." Fan Wencheng also echoed.

Cao Eryu suddenly said: "This kind of trick is actually very easy to crack, just change the battlefield, not to fight with the Ming army in the battlefield chosen first, and this has another advantage, that is, it can force the Ming army to move, so that their side car formations, antlers and trenches are all useless." ”

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan looked at it together.

Hou Fangyu sneered disdainfully, saying in his heart that this was really a fool.

"Okay, with your little knowledge, don't be embarrassed here."

Dolgon reprimanded Cao Eryu, and then asked Hong Chengchou and the others: "A few gentlemen, now in addition to using the camel whirlwind cannon to attack head-on, is there any other good strategy?" ”

"Master, I'm afraid there is no other good way."

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "Sun Tzu said: All those who fight, with the right match, with the odd victory. Ten will surround it, and five will attack it. Today, our Qing army is exactly five times larger than the Ming army, and it is natural to attack it head-on. ”

"What Xiandou said is extremely true." Hong Chengchou said, "The slave seconded the proposal. ”

Ning Wan also agreed: "The minions also seconded the proposal, and a frontal attack is a real good strategy. ”

Hearing this, Dolgon also made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Spread my will, and then transfer 8 Niu Lu's Eight Banner Han Army to attack the Ming army in the northwest corner, and transfer 100 camel guns from the Green Battalion to attack in a coordinated manner. ”

The attack was essentially a tentative attack, and Dorgon didn't take any chances.

"Huh!" Cao Eryu hurriedly signaled the herald to convey Dolgon's will.

After receiving Dolgon's order, the Eight Banners Han Army soon sent 8 more Niulu.

It's not that Dorgon is reluctant to commit more troops, but that a horn can only hold so many people.

It is not impossible to forcibly invest more troops, but it will overlap before and after, resulting in a waste of troops.

I have to say that Dolgon's learning ability is really powerful, and of course, the actual combat training is also indispensable.

The Eight Banners Han Army of these 8 Niu Lu was equipped with 60 partial vans, but this time, the Eight Banners Han Army did not form a boxy car city with partial vans, but only spliced them into two car walls.

A total of 60 partial vans were finally spliced into two partial van walls.

There are 30 vans on each wall, with a total width of about 60 steps.

This width will cover the front of the Ming army's hollow phalanx.

Because the width of the five hollow phalanxes of the Ming army is almost seventy paces.

It only took half an hour for the Eight Banners Han Army to prepare for the attack.

Immediately the horn and war drums sounded, and the two side car walls protected the 8 Niu Lu 2400 Eight Banners Han Army, divided into two roads, respectively from the north and west, approaching the Ming army formation in the northwest corner.

In addition, the Han army of the Eight Banners of the two roads was accompanied by dozens of camels each.

……

"What kind of tactics is this?"

Now it was Xu Yingwei's turn to be at a loss.

How can I still be accompanied by camels? I've never seen this battle before.

Xu Yingwei faintly felt that the camels accompanying the sides of the Jiannu army formation were definitely not simple, but he couldn't figure out what these camels were used for.

Xu Yingwei can't be blamed for this.

Because the camel boom cannon is a new thing.

Not to mention Xu Yingwei, even Zuo Maodi has stayed in Xi'an for so long, and he doesn't realize that the camel whirlwind cannon is a revolutionary artillery weapon that is enough to change the ecology of the battlefield.

Zuo Maodi didn't even think to report to Nanjing.

Because in his opinion, the power of the camel whirling cannon is completely incomparable to that of the Hongyi cannon.

As for the easy transfer and rapid maneuver of the camel maneuver on the camel's back, he never thought that this was an advantage, and it was an incomparable advantage.

Therefore, Xu Yingwei couldn't imagine what these camels were for.

However, there is one thing that Xu Yingwei has already thought of, that is, Jiannu is going to attack head-on.

At that time, Xu Yingwei also gave an order to the field artillery: "Order all field artillery commanders, according to the calibrated firing yuan, to launch an artillery bombardment at the demarcated location outside the northwest corner phalanx." ”

The herald conveys the order through the flag.

The 100 4-inch field guns on the central artillery position quickly adjusted their direction.

The shooting elements were determined before the start of the war, and the number of scale pitch angles and how many scale yaw angles were set in what direction and at what distance had been measured and marked.

When used, the artillery can react quickly.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Yingwei gave the order, the 10 field guns with a total of 100 4-inch field guns quickly turned around under the traction of the artillery, and then fixed the gun carriage with iron drills, and quickly prepared for shelling.

The two Jiannu Kankankan entered within a thousand steps, and the Ming artillery began to bombard.

In fact, the maximum firing range of the 4-inch field gun was more than 1,500 paces, but the accuracy at this distance was too poor.

"Boom! Boom Boom Boom! With continuous loud noises, iron bullets weighing 16 pounds roared out from the muzzles of field guns, and shot like lightning towards the attacking Jiannu soldiers.

Iron bullets swept through the air, sending out a sharp whistling of the air being torn.

……

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”

Huang Deheng shouted the number while struggling to push the side van.

The Qing army's partial van basically followed the size of the Ming army's partial van, about one zhang three feet long, about one zhang wide, about seven feet high, and the weight of the basic version was about 300 catties.

The enhanced version of the partial van can weigh up to 600 catties or even thousands of catties.

A partial van weighs 300 catties, and the wall formed by 30 partial vans is 9,000 catties, and it takes hundreds or even hundreds of people to work together to push it.

Huang Deheng belongs to the coolies.

Who asked him to raise the flag late?

When he was pushing the side car wall forward, there was a sudden scream in the air in front of him, which seemed to tear the air apart, which was very harsh.

The Eight Banners Han Army covered their ears one after another.

Huang Deheng also subconsciously covered his ears.

At this time, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded in my ears.

Looking at it quickly, I saw that the front guard plate of a side van next to it had been violently shattered from the middle, and a blurred black shadow roared in.

In the next moment, the black shadow had already hit the head of an Eight Banner Han Army.

Immediately, there was a soft pop, and the head of the Eight Banners Han Army shattered in an instant, and the red and white things splashed the face of the Eight Banners Han Army next to him, Huang Deheng was far away, but also splashed a few drops.

After continuously crashing through the front guard of the van and a head, the black shadow is still inexhaustible.

Immediately after that, it continuously crashed through the bodies of the six Eight Banner Han soldiers behind it, and then finally rolled to the ground with all its might, but it was a black iron bullet that looked bigger than a fist.

One shot pierced through the seven Eight Banners Han Army.

Five of the Eight Banners Han Army were killed instantly.

The remaining two are only half a breath left,

He fell to the ground and let out a terrible wail.

The fear of death enveloped Huang Deheng in an instant.

But Huang Deheng didn't stop, just stunned for a moment, and then followed with the sound of horns and war drums, and struggled to push the van forward: Roar! Roar! Roar!
