Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

The Eight Banners Han army who attacked was eager to escape, so they had no choice but to abandon the van.

Because the side vans have been spliced ​​into a whole, and most of the side vans have been destroyed by landmines or red cannons, they can no longer move, so they can only be discarded.

After being attacked by landmines, cannons, and self-generated firecrackers in three waves, the first eight Niulu Eight Banners Han troops who attacked for the first time suffered about one-third of the 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 van, he 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, firing guns at the Eight Banners Han troops in turn.

The sound of "bang bang bang" can only be heard incessantly. Along with the bang bang, puffs of white smoke rose from the formation of the Ming army, and the Eight Banners Han army in the passage fell to the ground like cutting wheat.

Dorgon suddenly turned his head and gave Hou Fangyu a hard look.

What about the agreed safe passage at least a hundred paces wide?this one?

Hou Fangyu was also a little dumbfounded, what's going on?Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, and Ning Wan and I, a few hardcore traitors, were also stunned. The lethality of the self-generated firecrackers of the Ming army has overturned their perception of self-generated firecrackers.

Can the self-generated guns of the Ming army really penetrate cotton armor from a hundred paces away?
The Eight Banners Han army only wore cheap cotton armor, and few of them wore double armor.

Therefore, after losing the protection of the van, the Eight Banners Han army became a living target, constantly falling to the ground under the repeated advancement of the Ming army's musketeers and taking turns firing guns.

More than 2000 Eight Banners Han troops were quickly exhausted.

"Bah bah bah!" There was another blast of guns, and the last Han army of the Eight Banners also collapsed to the ground.

The entire battlefield soon fell silent, only the Eight Banners Han soldiers who were seriously injured and dying fell to the ground and wailed terribly, and the few Eight Banners Han soldiers who could still move tried their best to crawl back.

But gradually, these Eight Banners Han troops also fell silent.

The weather is cold, coupled with massive blood loss, people will soon go into shock.

Immediately, the Ming army sent out stragglers to make up for the Eight Banners Han army, and at the same time buried landmines in the passage.

Seeing the Ming army blatantly laying landmines under his nose, Dorgon's expression became extremely embarrassing in an instant. This tentative attack was regarded as a vain blindness, and 2400 Eight Banners Han troops died in vain.

What a waste, nothing of value was exchanged.

Oh, no, I finally figured out that there are traps in the four passages of the Ming army phalanx.

Hou Fangyu was also embarrassed, because one of his bad ideas ruined the Eight Banners Han Army of Ba Niulu.

However, Dorgon didn't complain about Hou Fangyu anymore, because Hou Fangyu was only giving advice, and he, the commander of the three armies, made the real decision, so Hou Fangyu couldn't be blamed for this matter.

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that there is indeed a trap in the passage."

Hong Chengchou said bitterly: "The Ming army is becoming more and more shameless. In the past, they only used landmines when defending cities or guarding camps. Now they even use landmines in field battles."

"Yes, it's really hard to guard against." Fan Wencheng also echoed.

Cao Eryu suddenly said: "This kind of trick is actually very easy to solve. You just need to change the battlefield and not fight it in the battlefield that the Ming army chose first, and there is another advantage in doing so, that is, it can force the Ming army to fight. Get moving and render their vans, antlers, and ditches useless."

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I looked over at the same time.

Hou Fangyu sneered disdainfully, thinking that this is really an idiot.

"Okay, with your knowledge, don't embarrass yourself here."

Dorgon reprimanded Cao Eryu, then asked Hong Chengchou and others: "Sirs, besides using camel swivel guns to attack head-on, is there any other good strategy?"

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

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "Sun Tzu said: All fighters should fight with righteousness and surprise. Ten will surround them, and five will attack them. Today, our Qing army is exactly five times larger than the Ming army, so we should attack them head-on. "

"What Xiandou said is very true." Hong Chengchou said, "The slaves seconded the proposal."

Ning Wan and I also agreed: "The slave also seconded, and a frontal attack is a really good strategy."

Hearing this, Dorgon also made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "I will pass on my will, and then dispatch 8 Niulu's Eight Banners Han troops to attack the Ming army in the northwest corner, and dispatch 100 camels from the Green Camp to fire the cannons." Coordinated attack."

This attack was essentially a probing attack, and Dorgon did not put all his eggs in one basket.

"Hey!" Cao Eryu hurriedly signaled the messenger to convey Dorgon's will.

After receiving Dorgon's order, the Eight Banners Han Army quickly dispatched another eight Niulu.

It's not that Dorgon is reluctant to invest more troops, but that one corner can only accommodate so many people.

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

I have to say that Dorgon's learning ability is really good. Of course, the actual combat training is also indispensable.

These 8 Niulu's Eight Banners Han Army were equipped with 60 side vans, but this time, the Eight Banners Han Army did not form the side vans into a square car city, but just spliced ​​them into two car walls .

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

There are 30 vans on each car wall, and the total width is about 60 steps.

This width will be able to cover the front of the hollow phalanx of the Ming army.

Because the five hollow square formations of the Ming army are almost seventy steps wide.

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

Immediately, the sound of horns and war drums sounded, and the 8 Niulu 2400 Eight Banners Han troops were protected by two car walls.

In addition, the two Han armies of the Eight Banners were accompanied by dozens of camels.

……

"What kind of tactics is this?"

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

Why are there camels accompanying him?Never seen this battle before.

Xu Yingwei had a vague feeling that the camels accompanying the Jiannu army must be very complicated, but he couldn't figure out what these camels were used for.

This cannot be blamed on Xu Yingwei.

Because the camel swivel gun is a new thing.

Not to mention Xu Yingwei, even Zuo Maodi stayed in Xi'an for so long, and he didn't even realize that the camel cannon was a revolutionary artillery weapon capable of changing the ecology of the battlefield.

Zuo Maodi didn't even think about reporting to Nanking.

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

As for the convenient transfer and fast maneuvering of the camel swivel cannon on the back of a camel, Zuo Maodi ignored it. He never thought of this as an advantage, and it was an incomparable advantage.

Therefore, Xu Yingwei couldn't imagine the use of these camels at all.

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

At the moment Xu Yingwei also gave an order to the field artillery: "Order all the field artillery commanders to shoot the elements according to the calibration, and launch an artillery attack to the calibration location outside the square formation in the northwest corner."

The orderly conveys the order through the semaphore.

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

The shooting elements are measured before the start of the battle. How many scaled pitch angles and how many scaled yaw angles are set at what azimuth and distance have been measured and marked.

Artillery can respond quickly when used.

Therefore, at Xu Yingwei's order, a total of 10 100-inch field guns of 4 field guns were quickly turned under the traction of the artillery, and the gun mounts were fixed with iron brazing, and they were soon ready for shelling.

The two roads of Jiannu were able to enter within a thousand steps, and the artillery of the Ming army began to shell.

In fact, the maximum range of the 4-inch field gun is more than [-] steps, but the accuracy at this distance is too poor.

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom!" Accompanied by continuous loud noises, iron bullets weighing 16 jin roared out from the muzzles of field guns, shooting towards Jiannu who was attacking like lightning. Soldiers.

The iron bullets flew past, making a sharp whistling sound of the air being torn apart.

……

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Huang Deheng chanted chant while struggling to push the van.

The Qing army’s van basically followed the size of the Ming army’s van, with a length of about three feet, a width of one foot, and a height of seven feet. The weight of the basic version was about [-] catties.

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

A van weighs 30 catties, and the wall made up of [-] vans weighs [-] thousand catties. It takes hundreds or even hundreds of people to push it together.

Huang Deheng is a coolie.

Who made him raise the flag later.

As he was pushing the wall of the van to move forward, there was a sudden "squeaky" scream in the air in front of him. The sound that seemed to tear the air apart was very ear-piercing.

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

Huang Deheng also subconsciously covered his ears.

At this moment, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded in the ear.

Looking intently, I saw that the front panel of a van next to it had been shattered from the middle, and a fuzzy black shadow roared in from it.

In the next instant, the black shadow had already bumped into the head of an Eight Banners Han army.

Immediately there was a soft pop, and the head of the Eight Banners Han army was shattered together with the bowl, and the red and white thing splashed the face of the Eight Banners Han army next to it. Huang Deheng was far away, but also splashed a few drops.

After smashing through the front panel of the van and a head in succession, the black shadow was still lingering,

Immediately afterwards, it smashed through the bodies of the six Eight Banners Han soldiers in the back, and finally rolled to the ground exhausted, but it was a black iron bullet, which looked bigger than a fist.

One shot pierced through seven Eight Banners Han armies.

Five of the Eight Banners Han soldiers were killed instantly.

The remaining two are only half breathed,
He fell to the ground and let out an extremely stern wailing sound.

The fear of death instantly enveloped Huang Deheng.

But Huang Deheng didn't stop, he just froze for a moment, followed by the sound of horns and drums, and pushed the van forward with all his might: Roar!Roar!Roar!
