The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 636 Use Cannons to Teach Ming People
However, there were many Qing soldiers, and there were strict orders, and they could not retreat without hearing the sound of gold, so the Qing soldiers of all ministries gritted their teeth and charged again.

Bang bang bang, the Ming army guns rang out again.

It almost reproduced the scene just now, the Qing soldiers fell off their horses, and moved forward with deaths and injuries.

Then they approached and shot arrows, and the Ming army was also shot down, and the two sides entered into a confrontation.

At this time, boom, artillery blasted into the place where the Qing soldiers and archers were piled up.

After the Qing soldiers in front rushed close, they would be hit by shotguns.

The Qing soldiers were hit hard by several waves.

The following Qing soldiers came again immediately, and the cycle began again and again.

Dorgon's teeth that were watching from behind were almost broken.

The Qing soldiers continued to rush forward regardless of casualties. Every time they approached, they were hit by a shotgun from the Ming army.

Recently, hundreds of Qing cavalry have rushed to the front of the Ming army, but the front of the Ming army is full of carriages and various stabs.

Still countless scored into the Ming army.

But as long as their soldiers and horses paused for a moment, they would be bombarded and fell in front of the Ming army.

The blunderbuss of the Ming army stood facing the arrows like they were made of iron, and they kept shooting at them.

There are more than a dozen arrows stuck in the Ming army, and they are still firing guns, making people speechless.

However, some Qing soldiers saw that the Ming army was not defeated by so many arrows, so they were determined to shoot him.

Dorgon saw that there were five archers who kept shooting at the Ming army. All five of them hid under their horses, about 50 meters away from the front of the Ming army.

"These people deserve to die." Dorgon was furious when he saw that Ming Jun had more than a dozen arrows stuck in his body, so just leave him alone and shoot others.

Those five idiots were still staring at the Ming army, as if they had to shoot the Ming army down before they were reconciled.

Soon the Ming army seemed to find that someone kept shooting him.

The Ming army was also hiding behind a large cart, but suddenly retracted its head, and after about a while, it poked its head out slightly.

Those five idiots and fools, Beng Beng, shot at the Ming army again.

The Ming army quickly retreated without firing a gun.

At this time, boom, a shell flew over.

"Trash" Dorgon lashed his horsewhip angrily.

The artillery of the Ming army was very accurate. Even if the first shot missed, the second shot had a good chance of hitting it.

The cannon directly hit the middle of the five horses, with a bang, the horses collapsed and the five scattered and fled.

Dorgon couldn't go up now with a knife, and cut these five people down, it was a waste of time and bows and arrows.

He couldn't help but miss his Gunner a little bit.

In recent years, the Qing Dynasty has also been playing Lumi guns, which are specially used to fight against Dingmouse.

Now they have two thousand Lumi guns in Shengjing.

But this time when entering the customs, the choice is all cavalry.

Ding Yi's blunderbuss also started to train cavalry after they captured Jeju Island and had more horses.

The gun soldiers in the Qing Dynasty were all infantry, and they had no formal training in horseback riding.

They can ride, they are not fast, they can only jog.

Before entering the customs this time, Huang Taiji also considered whether to send gun soldiers in.

After thinking about it, I gave up.

He was afraid that the gunmen would be surrounded by the Ming army, because they were not good at riding and had no time to run, so they were not dispatched in the end.

At this time, in Dorgon's view, he had two thousand blunderbuss, and he pushed them up immediately, regardless of casualties and Ding Yi's soldiers and horses, and they would soon be defeated.

It's a pity, it's a pity, Huang Taiji is still on guard against me, letting me lead soldiers into the customs, but not letting me bring gun soldiers.

Dorgon thought that Huang Taiji deliberately refused to let him bring gun soldiers.

"Uncle Fourteen, if this goes on like this, the brothers will suffer too many casualties." Just as Dorgon was thinking wildly, Hauge said heartbroken.

Dorgon raised his head and gave Hauge a meaningful look.

Hauge was older than him, so he was rarely called Fourteenth Uncle in public.

This time it seemed that Hauge was hurt too.

Because the first wave of Manchu Qing soldiers who rushed into the battle were all Hauge's inlaid yellow flags.

Dorgon took a deep breath, and after thinking for a while, he said decisively: "Ming Jin, withdraw troops."

Hauge let out a sigh of relief.

Dang Dang Dang, the sound of gold ringing suddenly sounded, and the Qing soldiers turned their heads and ran away like Meng Dahe.

The Qing soldiers withdrew within half an hour of the first wave of attack.

Many generals watching the battle turned their heads to look at Dorgon, not understanding why he suddenly ordered a retreat.

He said it himself before, whoever dares to retreat without authorization will be killed.

Dorgon can't help it, because he has seen that it is useless.

If the fight continues like this, the Qing elite will only suffer heavy casualties.

If it takes 1 horses to defeat them, the loss outweighs the gain and is unnecessary.

These [-] Ming troops included other Ming troops, and they were not all Ding Yi's troops.

Breaking through at the cost of [-] casualties does not mean that they can be completely wiped out.

Based on his understanding of Ding Yi's soldiers and horses, even if the chariot formation on the opposite side is broken, the resistance will continue, and it will only be more tragic in the future.

"Wait for the gun, or wait for someone." Dorgon made up his mind, either waiting for the Hongyi cannon to come up, or waiting for the Ming people to come up.

They have 31 livestock, of which there are 10,000+ common people. When the time comes, they will drive the common people forward to see what the Ming army will do. This is their sharp weapon.

The generals were helpless, judging from the result of the battle just now, they could still fight if they continued to charge forward, but perhaps tens of thousands of casualties could defeat this Ming army.

Even if it is defeated, there will be a bloody battle, and I don't know how many Qing warriors will die by then.

"Where are our cannons?" Du Du turned around and asked, didn't there be fifteen cannons just now?Why did I only hear the cannons of the Ming army?
Kong Youde screamed: "They were all beaten by Ming dogs."

It turned out that after his cannons were pushed to the position, only five of them fired, and the rest didn't fire, and they were all fired by the Ming army's cannons.

Of the five doors that were fired, only one shot hit, and the rest were hit again before they had time to adjust.

"Ming people have a lot of cannons, and they have adjusted their positions in advance. If they can't beat them, they can only wait for the Hongyi cannons." Kong Youde said with a mournful face.

Dorgon decided to retreat when he found that his guns were not going off.

"How far is Hongyi Cannon from Mingren?" Hauge asked.

The generals soon got the news that the Hongyi cannon was still about five or six miles away from here, and the Ming people were still fifteen miles away.

Their cavalry arrived first, and the people and supplies followed.

In this case, it is very likely that the cannon will arrive first, and the people will have to wait.

"Let's use cannons to teach Ming people." Dorgon gritted his teeth and said, "Send the order to let the cannons speed up. I don't want to speed up at any cost."

Kong Youde's face changed slightly, and he turned to leave.

"I'll go." Hauge sternly shouted, brought a few entourages with him, ordered a bunch of soldiers and horses, and ran straight back.

Kong Youde suddenly had a bad feeling.

Not long after, the damage statistics of the Qing soldiers were reported.

In less than half an hour of fighting with the Ming army just now, more than 2000 people were killed or injured. Almost everyone in the first wave was wounded. Among them, nearly [-] were killed or lost combat power, and most of them were slightly injured.

Fortunately, everyone has fought with Ding Yi's soldiers many times, knowing that Ding Yi's soldiers are frantic, and if they don't come back after being injured, they will die. When they retreated just now, they all withdrew.

It was reported that many brothers were only slightly injured and could continue to fight. It seems that Mingren's guns are no more than that.

But they don't know that in this world, after being infected, the death rate after the war will be very high.

Dorgon thought for a while, then slowly said: "The king has been watching the battle just now. When we charged, sometimes the front row was not hit, and many cavalrymen in the middle would be knocked off their horses, and some horses in the middle would be knocked down."

"The Ming army was actually not that accurate. It was because they missed the front and flew to the back to hit the people and horses behind."

"Our formation is still too dense."

He saw that as long as the Ming army missed the front row and jumped to the back row, the damage was generally relatively small. Sometimes when they hit a horse, they would throw people off. If they hit a person, they might not be seriously injured.

So this time the Qing soldiers suffered more than 2000 casualties, and only about 1000 actually lost their combat power, and the other [-] or so were basically able to fight again.

But after this war, it is not known whether most people will be infected and die.

Immediately someone said: "But it's already considered scattered? If you disperse again, it won't be like charging?"

That's right, you are rushing in a row of fifty or sixty riders at a distance of more than 400 meters. Of course it is not dense, but is this still a charge?This is not courting death.

The point is, if he can't hit the front, he will still float to the back. You can't, take turns going up row by row.

Therefore, this charge is unavoidable.

"It's a pity that there is no shield car." Someone scolded.

At this time, some shield cars are pushed up, and the effect is not very good.

But it was freezing cold, they went to dig the soil, and all the cars were behind Mingren people, dozens of miles away from here.

Because no one thought beforehand that the Ming army would block them.

"It would be great if our gun soldiers were here." Kong Youde said deliberately at this time.

Many Han generals nodded one after another, thinking that if they had gun soldiers, they could fight Ding Yi's subordinates.

Both the nobles of the Qing Dynasty and the Mongols showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

Although they were severely taught by Ding Yi with firearms for more than ten years, most of them still despise the use of firearms in their hearts.

The Qing soldiers were discussing how to fight next, and Wang Weizhong was also stepping up reinforcements.

Xu Fuzuo could tell that as soon as Ding Yi's soldiers and horses stopped, they would immediately reinforce the fortifications.

Fortunately, Ding Yi's artillery was powerful just now, and he only let the Qing soldiers fire five artillery pieces, one of which hit a car, killed two gunmen, and injured three spear shield soldiers.

Now Wang Weizhong's men are repairing it with sandbags and trees, and asked Xu Fuzuo's soldiers to draw [-] swordsmen to guard the area and help repair it at the same time.

Wang Weizhong was continuing to reinforce, while Hauge was already riding a horse, and went to the artillery with a whip.

In less than 10 minutes, Hauge encountered the artillery team.

They brought twenty gates of Hongyi, some weighing a thousand catties, some weighing two thousand catties, ten gates each.

Now the ones walking in the front are all Hongyi cannons that weigh a thousand catties.

Several carriages were pulling, and the Han army was pushing behind them.

On both sides of the road there are Mongolians escorting them on horseback.

Haug looked around and suddenly ordered: "You guys get off your horses and use the horses to tow the cart."

The Mongols didn't dare not listen, so they dismounted quickly and used their own horses to drag the cannons.

"You guys are also pushing back, and within half an hour, all of you will be chopped off."

Everyone's face changed drastically, and some were about to cry.

At this time, there are still more than five miles away from the battlefield ahead.

Hauge ordered the horse to be whipped non-stop, ignoring the horse's casualties, pulling it forward desperately, and changing the horse if it died.

The Mongolian troops escorting on both sides used horses to help pull the cannons.

The Yiniu Luqingqi he brought is also helping, opening the way ahead, and if there are difficult roads, they should be fixed in advance, and where there are ditches, they should be filled in advance.

After Hauge arrived, the speed of pulling the cannon increased significantly.
