Chapter 273: Ten Thousand Bones Withered

"Mobilize the protectors, and at all costs, take back Gongshutai for me!"

Dorgon clenched his fists and slammed them into the bricks in front of him.

The information revealed from the military newspaper on the front line had already made Dolgon understand the intentions of the Ming army and the importance of Gongshutai.

"Send an order to Tan Tai, two quarters of an hour, he only has two quarters of an hour!"

Dolgon's expression was gloomy, and he looked at the Gongshutai in the South Mountain, and the red was extremely dazzling among the mountains.

The Ming army suddenly used a large number of artillery, and in just half an hour, it had already broken through three camps in a row, and then directly took Gongshutai.

The Ming army's intentions were clearly exposed.

Two quarters of an hour was enough time for the Ming army to transport the artillery to Gongshutai.

As long as the Gongshutai is occupied and the artillery is erected, most of the entire camp in Nanshan will be exposed to the artillery range of the Ming army.

At that time, none of these barracks could be defended.

Others can hit you, but you can't hit others.

The number of artillery of the Ming army was indeed not large, and it did not cause much damage.

But the biggest role of artillery on the battlefield has never been to kill or injure the enemy, but to demoralize and destroy formations.

Once the Ming army set up artillery, then the only order he could give was to abandon all the barracks that were covered by the Ming artillery.

And this will undoubtedly expose the large battalion of the Chinese army that has been stored in the central government.

The terrain of Nanshan is steep in the south and gentle in the north, and the Ming army can directly dive down from the top of Nanshan when they climb Nanshan, and directly take the inner mountain road, which directly threatens the transportation route leading to the outside of the Guan.

At the last moment, there was such a problem, and the losses that would be caused were incalculable.

Dolgon felt nothing but the feeling of being depressed in his heart.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

Even before entering the customs, Dorgon had already deduced many times, imagined countless situations, and thought of ways to deal with them.

Therefore, at the beginning, from the breach to the entry, all the way south was extremely smooth, and the battle was victorious.

But everything was reversed until the battle of Jiazhuang, when Sun Chuanting led the Qin soldiers under his command arrived.

Jinan, Dong'an, Wuqing, and now Qingshanguan.

The Ming army was always able to find fleeting fighters to turn the tide of the war.

It was as if he had already understood all his plans and plans.

It was only during the attack on Qingshan Pass that Chen Guowei, who abandoned the pass and fled, gave Dolgon a sense of familiarity, feeling that many things were back under his control.

But now, less than a few days have passed, and the Ming army that attacked again has wiped out his feeling again.

Dolgon's face grimaced, staring in the direction of the Male Tree Terrace

After giving the order to Tan Tai.

Dorgon had already figured it out.

All the previous actions of the Ming army, all the attacks, were confused.

Sun Chuanting concentrated the main elite troops and a large number of artillery in Dongshan, so that he mistakenly thought that the direction of the main attack was east, so that he would take attacks from other directions lightly.

At the same time, the south was not completely drained and feints, and the Ming army's offensive in the south was equally fierce.

It is also from all sides to climb up and attack with all their might.

It is precisely because of the real attack that it can be believed, so that it can be induced step by step.

"Gongshutai...... Gongshutai ......"

Dorgon shook his head helplessly, he had already received information about the terrain around him.

For Gongshutai, he just swept it by at the time, and didn't care much about it, and didn't even have much impression.

Because this place is not suitable for amassing troops, and it is not on the necessary road, it is not of much value at all.

But he only forgot that the terrain like Gongshutai was an excellent artillery position.

The reason why the army did not carry artillery made Dolgon not think that Gongshutai could be used as an artillery position from the beginning.

A leaf blinds the eyes, and Mount Tai is not seen.

Dolgon looked in the direction of Nanshan and issued military orders one by one.

The scales of war are tilting towards the Ming army step by step, once all the artillery has been transported to Gongshutai.

When the artillery on the Gongshu platform began to roar, it was the time when the entire company and battalion he had laid down were broken.

Dolgon didn't put all his hopes on Tan Tai.

Dolgon knew very well in his heart that Gongshutai had been lost, and if he wanted to regain it, he was afraid that it would be difficult.

The Ming army planned for a long time, attacked the mountains on all sides, and used the army as a confuse, and the price paid was not small.

And to pay such a heavy price and make so many moves, all in order to seize Gongshutai.

Then it must be expected that he will definitely send elites to seize the stage, and he must have thought of a countermeasure.

Now he is sending troops to seize Taiwan, which is undoubtedly in the hands of the Ming army.

But knowing this, Dorgon still had to order the dispatch of elite troops to take the mountain.

On the battlefield, no matter how small the chance of victory, you can't give up easily.

However, Dorgon's mind had already flown away from the Nanshan battlefield to another place at this time.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

As the commander of the First Army, Dolgon did not put all his hopes on Tan Tai.

Now he needed a plan.

After the Ming army broke through from Nanshan, how to deal with the plan.

The plan should have been made before the war, but Dorgon didn't make any plans.

Because Dolgon never thought that the strength of the company camp he had laid out could be broken by the Ming army.

The two defeats in Jiazhuang and Jinan were only strategic defeats, not defeats in battle.

In the field, they were still invincible and almost undefeated.

Decades of victories made the Ming army of the Nine Sides have great fear of the Jurchens.

On the battlefield, such a psychology can often make the Ming army not even have the courage to fight, and then evolve into a collapse.

Just like what Cao Di said thousands of years ago.

Husband fights, and the brave are also.

Fighting is fought with courage.

How can an army win without even the courage to face the enemy?

That sentence Jurchen is not ten thousand, and it is invincible that ten thousand are invincible, and it is precisely because of this that it was deliberately released as a weak strategy.

It's just that some of them have said too much, and not only the Ming people believe it, but they themselves also believe it.

It was precisely because of the contempt in his heart that Dolgon did not make any plans.

Now Dolgon needs to pay attention to the whole battle situation while formulating a plan for the Ming army to break through the Nanshan position.

……

There are only two ways to climb Gongshudai, the South Road and the North Road.

The southern road leads directly to the third stronghold that has just been captured, and the northern road leads to the fourth stronghold set up by the Qing army.

After Chen Gong broke through the third barracks, he passed through the third barracks and ascended the South Road to Gongshutai.

Therefore, the Qing army's offensive must have revolved around these two roads.

The first soldiers of the Qing army used the fourth camp as a stronghold and divided their troops into two routes.

All the way from the fourth camp to the north road, take the north road, and go straight to the top of the Gongshu platform.

The other way is from the fourth barracks, take the mountain road from the stage to the third barracks, trying to cut off the south road, making the Ming army on the Gongshu platform a lone army, and at the same time taking the stage from the south road to flank the Ming army on the platform.

But all the actions of the Qing army were expected by Chen Wang.

From the Gongshu platform, you can have a panoramic view of the Qing army company camps, and the troop movements in the various camps of Jiannu have already been seen by Chen Wang.

In order to recapture Gongshutai, the Qing army sent a large number of troops in a very short period of time, and rushed towards Gongshutai from various mountain roads.

For such a situation, Chen Wang naturally had a plan.

"First row, put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang bang!! ”

Under the stage of the male tree, a large stream of gunpowder smoke rose up, and the deafening sound of the gun startled the hovering birds.

On the northern road, several Qing soldiers who charged at the forefront spewed out bloody arrows in response, and they were ruthlessly knocked to the ground.

None of the armor they weared, whether cotton or iron, could protect their bodies from harm.

At a distance of forty paces, the Sea Oath has reached an extremely terrifying point in terms of power and accuracy.

At this distance, even the three layers of heavy armor could not block the projectiles fired from the mouth of the sea oath.

Heavy arrows are good, but they can be blocked with a shield.

And in the face of the heavy firearms, the thick shield wrapped in cowhide was only fragmented.

"Second row, raise the gun!"

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang bang!! ”

Hu Zhili held the Yanling knife in his hand, stood in the middle of the formation, and calmly gave an order.

Several Qing soldiers were knocked to the ground by the rapid shot of lead bullets.

On the northern road, a group of soldiers of the Hanzhong army were already in full battle.

The heavy infantry with tower shields had already lined up their shield arrays and blocked the mountain road, sealing off all the roads up the mountain.

Behind them, there were the foot soldiers of the Hanzhong army, all of whom were holding sea oaths, standing on top of each other, all the way to the top of the platform.

With the help of sloping mountain terrain, the multi-platoon firebolts can fire downwards without fear of accidentally injuring teammates in front.

"Kill !!"

The Qing army on the mountain road shouted Manchu with a fierce face, and several heavy flying axes and iron bones, together with more than a dozen feather arrows, were shot out of the ranks of the Qing army with the sound of the wind.

The armor soldiers in front were knocked to the ground, which did not cause the follow-up Qing army armor soldiers to panic, they stepped on the corpses of their comrades, roared angrily and continued to charge upward.

Most of the iron bones and feather arrows that flew quickly smashed into the shield array in front of the Hanzhong army, and only a few crossed the shield array and hit the Hanzhong army's gunners in the rear.

The soldiers who were hit by the iron bones were okay and could still hold on.

But the soldiers who were shot by the feathered arrows had no way to hold on.

The feather arrows used by the Qing army were basically heavy arrows.

The so-called arrows, like even small short spears, have the overall shape of a small pike spear.

It is such a long and heavy arrow that makes the Qinggong have super lethality, which can be called the existence of a small spear thrower.

The soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Thousand Headquarters in front of the formation were all wearing three-layer heavy armor and sheltered by tower shields, so they were naturally fine.

However, most of the Hanzhong army foot soldiers in the rear were wearing only one layer of cloth armor, and the heavy arrows of the Qing army posed a great threat to him.

After several soldiers were hit by arrows, they fell to the ground on the spot.

The fall of the robe beside him did not make the rest of the soldiers of the Hanzhong army feel frightened and panicked, but instead aroused the anger of the rest of the soldiers of the Hanzhong army.

Since the standard battalion under Lu Xiangsheng's command is full of fellow villagers, friends, brothers, family members, etc., often one person dies in battle, which can arouse the anger of most people.

In fact, the Hanzhong Army is the same, except for the 1st Cavalry Thousand Headquarters, most of them are Liao.

The rest of the troops were basically selected from the hungry soldiers who had been defeated and captured, as well as displaced refugees.

All of them were ill-fated, and natural disasters and military disasters caused them to lose everything.

They don't have enough to eat, they don't have enough to live, and even survival is just a luxury......

It was Chen Wang who reached out to them when they were most desperate and pulled them out of the sea of suffering.

They became soldiers, they became battalion soldiers.

The same situation makes there not much estrangement between them.

Although the military discipline of the Hanzhong Army was strict, it was not harsh.

Not only is the military salary paid regularly every month, but there is no shortage of food.

The practice of bullying and oppression is strictly prohibited in the army, and once discovered, severe punishment is not given, private fighting is prohibited, and public warfare is prohibited.

The military judges of the Supervision Office also explain the reasoning to them on a regular basis.

Although many of those truths were profound, and many of them did not understand them, they could sense that the military judges did not want to harm them.

Because of Chen Wang's reasons, the internal situation of the Hanzhong Army and other armies are completely different from each other.

Therefore, within the Hanzhong Army, the relationship between the soldiers is extremely harmonious, and they truly have the friendship of comrades.

A group of soldiers of the Hanzhong army shot back without retreating in this way, facing the arrows that were constantly flying.

The narrow mountain road became the burial ground of the Qing army, and the distance of the last twenty paces became a moat, and no Qing army's armor soldiers could jump over this last distance.

The terrifying rate of fire of the flintlock pistol became the key to the hatred of the Qing army.

Although the battle on the northern road was tragic, it was dwarfed by the fierce battle that was breaking out at the moment under the Gongshu stage.

The battlefield under the stage did not have the favorable terrain of the northern road, and the Qing army rushed in, and even if the flintlock pistol adopted the method of three stages, there was no way to contain the offensive of the Qing army.

Once approached by the armor soldiers of the Qing army, it was difficult for the soldiers wearing only a layer of cloth armor to resist.

Therefore, in the face of the swarming Qing army armor soldiers, Chen Wang's choice was the simplest, most effective, and most cruel method - white-edged warfare!

Under the platform of the male tree, on the narrow mountain road.

The soldiers of the Hanzhong Army in front of them were all holding big guns, close together tightly, forming a military formation.

On the other side, the armor soldiers of the Qing army's guard battalion were also holding spears, lined up together, and rushed straight forward.

In the dignified array, the brave must not be the first, and the cowardly must not be behind!

In the military formations of the two sides, countless spears were densely stabbed out and withdrawn, and the heartstrings of the soldiers at the forefront on both sides were already stretched to the limit.

The fear of death was close at hand, but they had no way to take a step back but to wait for death to come.

They roared wildly, roared with rage, vented their fears.

The guns poked, the guns poked, the popping sound of the guns entering the flesh was endless, and at every moment there were people falling in the military formations on both sides.

But the next moment it falls, the follow-up armor soldiers will fill in and resist the formation again.

They can only keep stabbing their blades forward, stabbing the swarming enemies to the ground, or being stabbed to the ground by the enemy.

The gurgling blood flowed out of the ground and merged into a small stream, which flowed slowly down the mountain trail towards the bottom of the mountain......

Where are the soldiers? Anointed edge.

Where is the people? Fill in the ravines.

Sigh the rivers and mountains are the same, and thousands of villages are few......
