Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 401

The Xuanfu soldiers including Jiang Guan, including Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army, were organized into the Green Battalion.

Moreover, Jiang Yu's Xuanfu soldiers and Wu Sangui's Guanning Army both changed from the garrison in Xuanfu Datong to the green battalion stationed in Beijing. This time they also came to Hetao with Dorgon.

Although the Green Camp has been reorganized, its status is far lower than that of the Eight Banners Han Army.

It is even more incomparable with the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Eight Banners Manchuria, the difference is worlds apart.

To put it bluntly, the green battalion is the cannon fodder or death-defying battalion, which are consumables specially used to consume the enemy's firepower, physical strength, and energy during combat. Although Jiang Yu and Wu Sangui were very dissatisfied, they had nothing to do.

For example, in this Hetao decisive battle, Dorgon put the Green Camp at the forefront again.

Dorgon's intention is to let the Green Battalion consume a wave of Puppet Shunjun first.

If the Green Battalion soldiers smashed the Puppet Shun Army in one go, and then invested in the Eight Banners Mongolia and Eight Banners Manchuria to pursue, if the Green Battalion soldiers failed to smash the Puppet Shun Army, then it doesn’t matter, at least it can consume a lot of physical strength and energy of the Puppet Shun Army. Then invest in the Eight Banners Manchuria to launch an attack, and the Puppet Shun Army will undoubtedly be defeated.

It has to be said that Dorgon's arrangement is extremely thoughtful.

As far as the paper strength of both sides is concerned, the Qing army has a very high chance of winning.

Hong Chengchou said: "Master arranges it like this, so nothing will go wrong."

During the speech, half of the Puppet Shun army had reached the north bank of the Yellow River.

Fan Wencheng said: "Master, this is a good time to attack halfway!"

"Well, this time it's finally our Qing army's turn to strike at the halfway point." Dorgon nodded happily. In the past six months, he had been attacking the Qing army at the halfway point. This time, the situation was finally reversed. , and shouted again, "Decree, the Green Battalion will be the front team, the Eight Banners Manchuria will be the rear team, and the Eight Banners Mongolia will protect the two wings, and the whole army will attack!"

Dorgon didn't even want to try to test, he came up with a total attack.

Dorgon's will was issued, and the Qing army immediately began to move.

The terrain around Junzijin is extremely open, making it the most perfect battlefield.

The endless sound of horns, the sound of war drums, and the powerful shouts of generals resounded across the battlefield in an instant, and the war horses let out a dull low hiss from time to time, adding a bit of chill to the battlefield.

[-] Green Battalions, [-] Manchurian Banners, [-] Mongolian Banners on the left and right flanks, a total of [-] troops, pushing rows of vans and carts, marching in neat steps towards the puppet Shunjun came over.

On the north bank of the Yellow River in Junzijin, about [-] to [-] pseudo cavalry have just landed.

Before the team had time to regroup, the Jiannu army had already crushed them like a tide.

At this time, the false cavalry had only two choices. One was to dismount quickly and form a formation, with spears against spears, and spears against spears, to block the attack of the green camp of the Qing army and buy time for the follow-up infantry to cross the river. The following hundreds of thousands of infantry and chariot camps crossed the river smoothly, and this battle still had to be fought.

The second option is to get out of the front of the battlefield, use the mobility of the cavalry and harass the two wings of the green battalion to slow down the advance speed of the green battalion. While harassing the green battalion, they will also be entangled by the Eight Banners Mongolia.

The false cavalry finally chose to get out of the way and harass the two wings of the green battalion.

More than [-] pseudo cavalry began to change formation, and soon divided into two groups, separated left and right.

On the grassy beach of Junzijin, which is more than ten miles wide, there are countless horse heads moving, horses neighing and people boiling.

There are over a thousand cavalrymen, boundless, over ten thousand cavalrymen, ground to sky, more than [-] Dashun cavalrymen gathered together, and almost completely covered the Junzijin Grass Beach, which is more than ten miles wide.

It seems that the whole world has been covered with cavalry.

Seeing this scene through the telescope, Dorgon's face collapsed.

Unknowingly, Pseudo Shun actually possessed such a huge cavalry.

If Pseudo-Shun is given a few more years to integrate the grasslands, why not pull out hundreds of thousands of cavalry?
Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, I, and Fan Wencheng behind Dorgon were also secretly startled when they saw this. It has only been more than a year, and Xu Shun has recovered his vitality?There is Nanming in the south, and Pseudo-Shun in the west, making it difficult for the Qing Dynasty.

The horse's head moved, the iron hoof turned over, and the false cavalry quickly gave way to the front of the battlefield.

Dorgon and his confidants saw the rear of the Puppet Shun Army who were still wading across the river.

However, what surprised Dorgon and others was that the rear team of the Puppet Shun Army actually led mules and horses in addition to infantry. No, those were not mules and horses at all, but camels?

Dorgon said in astonishment, "Is this a camel?"

"Why do the hypocrite infantry carry camels? Are they used to carry luggage?"

"No, how could the supply battalion be ahead of the infantry battalion?"

Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I also looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling very surprised.

Hong Chengchou's face changed and he said: "Master, it is possible that Junggar's reinforcements have arrived!"

"Heng Jiu, do you suspect that this is a camel cavalry from Junggar?" Dorgon's expression collapsed instantly.

"Yes." Hong Chengchou said, "I heard that the Junggar tribe has a large number of camel cavalry, and only Junggar has camel cavalry, and no other Mongolian tribe has any."

"Baltuhun chose False Shun after all." Dorgon said in a deep voice.

While speaking, nearly a thousand camels walking in front had landed and soon spread out along the river bank.

At this time, the pseudo cavalry separated from the left and right were already wrapped up with the Eight Banners Mongolia on both wings.

The Green Battalion in the middle has also advanced to less than [-] steps from the north bank of the Yellow River.

According to the advance speed of the two sides, only a few infantrymen in the front of the Puppet Shunjun had the opportunity to go ashore, and the vast majority of infantry and chariot battalions in the back could only squeeze into the icy river and confront the green battalion.

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng smiled and said: "Master, the overall situation of this battle is settled."

Dorgon and Hong Chengchou kept staring at the nearly thousand camels.

The two of them had a faint feeling that there were strange things on the backs of these nearly a thousand camels.

Sure enough, after nearly a thousand camels spread out along the north bank of the Yellow River, they soon turned over and fell to the ground under the control of the camel driver, and then the camel driver lifted the Persian carpet covered on the camel's back.

The carpet was lifted, revealing a series of small cannons underneath!
Dorgon's heart immediately clicked, and he almost lost his composure and screamed: "What the hell?"

"Master, it seems to be a cannon!" Hong Chengchou's voice was trembling, although the caliber of these cannons is not large, and the lethality should be far inferior to the red cannon, but they can't hold up much, there are nearly a thousand of them!

"Cannon?!" Dorgon's face instantly became extremely embarrassed, and the telescope locked on a camel.

Through the field of vision through the telescope, you can clearly see the cannon on the camel's back. It is not long, at most three feet, and weighs at most three to five hundred catties. No wonder it can be carried by the camel and run backwards.

It was still able to turn, and under the control of another hunchback, the muzzle was quickly turned around, aiming at the green battalion soldiers in front.

Seeing this scene, Dorgon roared suddenly: "I remembered, I remembered, damn it, Tang Ruowang told me that this is Junggar's camel swivel cannon!"

"Camel cannon?" Hong Chengchou and his confidants looked at each other in blank dismay.

Looking forward again, I saw that nearly a thousand camel cannons had fired one after another.

Dorgon quickly turned the field of view of the binoculars and aimed at the green battalion soldiers who were charging towards the river beach, but saw that hundreds of bloody roads were plowed out of the dense infantry formation of the green battalion soldiers in an instant.

This wave of green battalion was beaten badly. Most of the shells directly hit the infantry formation of the green battalion. A small part of the shells landed on the grass beach in front of the green battalion formation, but they also formed ricochet bullets, and finally also entered one of the formations of the green battalion soldiers. In the middle of the battle, bloody paths were also plowed in the tight queue.

I saw that wherever the shells passed, all the green battalion soldiers had their limbs shattered.

Even with a conservative estimate, at least thousands of Green Battalion soldiers were killed.

The side van pushed by the Green Battalion soldiers at the front is useless at all.

After being hit hard by this, Lvying slowed down and began to hesitate.

Because the artillery fire density of the Puppet Shun Army has exceeded their tolerance limit, who can withstand such a casualty method?No one can bear it!This is a row of thousands of cannons!

Charge against thousands of cannons, isn't that f*cking courting death?
But Junggar's artillery did not stop, and continued to bombard the Green Battalion.

The rate of fire of the camel swivel cannon is obviously faster than that of the red cannon. The red cannon fires one shell, but the camel cannon can fire at least three shells!
After several rounds of shelling, the green battalion had more than [-] casualties.

Such heavy casualties finally broke through the green battalion's psychological defense, turning around and fleeing uncontrollably.

But because there were [-] Banner soldiers of the Eight Banners Manchuria blocking behind them, they could only flee to both sides, but in this way, the Eight Banners Manchuria was exposed to the muzzle of the camel swivel gun.

The chariots of the Eight Banners Manchuria also couldn't hold the shells of the rotary guns.

Amidst the continuous banging, banging and clicking, one car after another was destroyed.

The Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers hiding behind the chariot also suffered heavy casualties, with more than a thousand casualties in a short period of time.

However, the fighting will of the Eight Banners Manchuria is far superior to that of the Green Battalion soldiers. Even if the casualties are heavy, the Eight Banners Manchuria still dares to continue to advance in the face of Junggar's swivel cannon.

Seeing this scene, Dorgon couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Heng Jiu, if it wasn't for you this time, I would have almost missed a major event." Dorgon took a deep breath, and then turned around and shouted, "Decree, the left and right wings will not move, and the Eight Banners Manchuria will withdraw!"

Dorgon's will was quickly conveyed through the royal banner.

The next moment, the Eight Banners Manchuria, which was advancing, immediately turned around and retreated.

At this time, under the cover of the Junggar artillery, tens of thousands of puppet infantry had already landed. Seeing that the Eight Banners Manchuria retreated, the tens of thousands of puppet infantry who had landed took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

Accompanied by the counterattack of the infantry in the middle, the pseudo cavalry on the two wings also tried their best to push forward.

Seeing this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Dorgon's mouth. Fortunately, I saved a hand, otherwise I would be killed today, but now, it's the turn of the Puppet Shunjun to be unlucky.
