Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Dorgon thought so, and so did the green battalion artillery.

As soon as the first shot was fired, the artillerymen of the Green Battalion quickly began to clean the barrel and prepare to reload it again.

The loading process of the camel rotary cannon is basically the same as that of the red cannon. First, the sparks in the barrel are extinguished, and then the gun barrel is used to clean up the residue and then the barrel is wiped dry.

Then load gunpowder and solid iron bullets.

It took almost 5 minutes, and the green battalion finally finished reloading.

The second wave of shelling from the Green Battalion opened fire almost simultaneously with the artillery of the Ming army in the opposite central position.

While the green battalion's shells hit the Ming army's hollow phalanx, the Ming army's artillery shells also hit the green battalion's temporary artillery position, and two of the camels were beaten to pieces in an instant.

On the other side of the Ming army, seven or eight vans were smashed to pieces.

When Dorgon saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling a pain in his flesh.

I don't know if the two camel swivel guns are still intact?
The camel is dead, so it’s good to add, but the casting of the camel rotary cannon is quite troublesome.

The 1st Infantry Brigade in the northwest corner and the field artillery in the central position always responded quickly.

However, the Green Camp, which had completed the transfer ahead of schedule, was unscathed.

At the same time, more green battalion soldiers came out of the formation driving camels.

And this time, two shells entered the gap in the wall of the side car that was smashed before, and the soldiers of the Ming army who lined up behind the wall of the side car suffered a big loss.

"Mother thief!"

However, there is no need to increase the density of firepower to deal with the slave infantry.

Of course, this is only temporary, as long as the Jiannu bombardment continues,

Dorgon's order was conveyed very quickly, and the green battalion who received the order reloaded as quickly as possible, and then got up leading the camel before the artillerymen of the Ming army fired again.

But at least, at this moment, the soldiers of the Ming army are effectively protected, and they no longer have to bear the bombardment of the Jiannu camel cannon, and there will be no needless casualties.

In such a short time, Dorgon keenly grasped the weakness of the Ming army.

However, the green battalion's shelling of the Ming army's hollow phalanx suddenly had no effect.

In the future plan formulated by Chongzhen for the Ming army, each infantry brigade has a supply battalion, which is responsible for taking care of the supplies carried by the infantry brigade.

Because whenever the green battalion destroyed several or even a dozen vans, the Ming army in the formation would find spare parts such as wheels, shafts, or guards to quickly repair the damaged vans.

Even the side car wall of the central phalanx may not be able to keep it.

Having said this, Dorgon shouted again: "I will pass on my order. The Han army of the Eight Niulu and Eight Banners who attacked will immediately withdraw, and the camel cannons of the Green Camp will attack across the board. First, I will destroy the side car formation of the Ming army. .”

The smiles of the hardcore traitors who were chatting and laughing just now froze.

As early as during the Battle of Hetao, Dorgon had realized the biggest advantage of the camel cannon over the red cannon, that is, he could run when he got up, and moved quickly!
It took a long time for the cannon in red to adjust the shooting angle.

Of the 98 camels that were launched at the beginning, there are still 390 left, plus the camels that were launched later, a total of [-] and eight camels were divided into eight artillery teams, facing the four hollow phalanxes of the Ming army at the four corners. The shelling was launched, and the position was changed after the first shot, and the second shot was never fired at the same place.

According to the organizational system of the Ming army, each team is equipped with a van.

It must be admitted that Dorgon's ability to study and summarize is really strong.

……

Xu Yingwei cursed bitterly in his heart.

Once the protection of the van wall is lost, the soldiers of all five infantry brigades will be directly exposed to the muzzles of Jiannu's camel cannon and rifles, and at this time they can only change formations.

Now it was Xu Yingwei's turn to be dumbfounded.

Then change another infantry battalion to take charge every once in a while.

Hundreds of shells instantly plowed deep grooves in the black soil.

Hou Fangyu said with a dark face: "Master, Chongzhen intends to change lives with us."

The reason why Dorgon and the traitors around him changed their faces was because every shelling by the artillery of the Ming army would inevitably plow dozens or dozens of blood paths in the formation of the two Eight Banners Han troops that attacked.

The two infantry brigades that Xu Yingwei first brought to Liaodong and the four infantry brigades that Chongzhen brought after Chongzhen did not have a dedicated supply battalion, but each had an infantry battalion temporarily in charge of the supply battalion.

Therefore, these two shells instantly killed and wounded eight soldiers of the Ming army, two of them died on the spot, four of them completely lost their combat effectiveness with their arms shattered, and two of them were also slightly injured, but fortunately, their injuries were not serious.

The four side-car arrays of the Ming army in the periphery are horizontally spliced, so each car formation only uses 112 side-cars, and each infantry brigade is equipped with 135 side-cars, so there are 23 side-cars You can spare more.

Because the four barrels of tung oil carried by the flying car had been burned out, they had to be replenished again.

At that moment, Dorgon shouted: "I will pass on my will, and the green camp will move a hundred steps sideways immediately after the reloading is completed."

In addition to rushing to repair the damaged van, the queue of the First Infantry Brigade also changed from three rows to nine rows.

After quickly moving a hundred steps sideways, the Green Camp led the camel and lay down on the ground again. The muzzle of the black hole was once again aimed at the hollow phalanx of the Ming army in the northwest corner, boom!
Another row of shells passed, and another seven or eight vans were smashed.

The line array changed from three rows to nine rows, and the entire hollow square array immediately became much sparser, and it was no longer crowded before.

"Yes!" The orderly quickly issued an order with semaphore.

Because Jiannu infantry did not have as strong an impact as cavalry.

To what extent?Three people can stand sideways at one meter.

At the same time, the Ming army once again began shelling the Jiannu infantry, and the Jiannu casualties increased sharply.

Because the soldiers of the Ming army stood in a dense array.

After receiving Xu Yingwei's order, Zheng Sen and the air force officers who had been sitting on the ground cheered excitedly, and then began to assemble the aircraft and prepare the grenade.

Therefore, after Xu Yingwei's order was issued, the infantry battalion under the [-]st Infantry Brigade, who was also in charge of the supply battalion, quickly left the line array, and found spare parts such as horse wheels, shafts, and guards for rush repairs, and was shot by Jiannu camels If there is really no way to repair the broken side van, use the extra side van to make up for it.

"I can see it too." Dorgon said with a dark face, "But he is delusional, and I won't do what he wants."

The series of responses made by Xu Yingwei also had immediate effects. The car array in the northwest corner was quickly repaired, and the Ming army soldiers in the car array were effectively protected again.

Xu Yingwei immediately ordered: "Send the order, the air force will attack with full ammunition!"

Almost as soon as the green battalion left, the shells of the Ming army fell.

Therefore, although the red cannon has a longer range and stronger lethality, it is still difficult to suppress the camel rotary cannon.

The decree was issued, the horn of retreat sounded, and the attacking Eight Niulu Eight Banners Han army immediately changed from the rear to the front team, and the front team quickly retreated back with a van.

When dealing with cavalry, it is necessary to strengthen the firepower density.

The dense formation is to strengthen the density of firepower.

But there was no expression on his face.

……

Since there is no ability to suppress Jiannu's camel cannon, you can only fight yours and I will fight mine.

But fortunately, the Ming army still has a trump card.

……

He keenly foresees that the 4-inch field artillery may be difficult to effectively suppress the Jiannu's camel artillery, so the destruction of the side car walls of the four hollow phalanxes outside is inevitable.

Dorgon's complexion became even more gloomy all of a sudden, and he could scrape frost off.

The green battalion has fired no less than six rows of shells so far.

"Xu remonstrance, don't we have nothing to do with Jiannu now? Jiannu's artillery can hit our phalanx, but our artillery can't hit Jiannu's infantry phalanx, nor Jiannu artillery , wouldn’t this mean that we can only watch the Jiannu artillery gnaw away our vans bit by bit?”

The Ming army's partial car array will eventually be destroyed, and the Ming army's soldiers will still be exposed to the guns.

Therefore, the number of vans equipped with each infantry brigade is 135.

The medical soldiers in the formation rushed forward to treat them.

The situation on the battlefield changed suddenly.

Soon, the other nine flying cars also ignited and began to inflate.

Jiannu used camel cannons to attack the infantry phalanx of the Ming army, and the Ming army used 4-inch field artillery to attack the Jiannu infantry phalanx, and then we will see which army can withstand the shelling better.

While thinking about it, Zheng Sen's flying car just landed.

However, the hollow phalanx of the Ming army remained intact.

At that moment, Xu Yingwei shouted: "The 1st Infantry Brigade immediately repairs the damaged sidecars, and tries its best to ensure the integrity of the sidecar walls. At the same time, the distance between the infantry ranks should be increased. In addition, the field artillery should never pay attention to Jiannu The camel cannon, re-lock the Jiannu infantry formation that is attacking, and blast me with full firepower!"

"Jiangniang thief, Jiannu is too abominable!" Now even Gao Qiqian could see something was wrong.

Because at this time, the Eight Banners Han army of 8 Niulu, who attacked in a separate way, was less than 4 steps away from the Ming army's phalanx, and less than [-] steps away from the Ming army's central main position. At this distance, the Ming army's artillery battalion The accuracy of the equipped [-]-inch field gun has been greatly improved, and the killing efficiency has also been greatly improved.

Xu Yingwei's expression became extremely embarrassing, because things were almost like this.

If the current situation continues, at most one hour, the wheels, shafts, guards and other parts and spare vans will be exhausted, and at most by the end of the afternoon, all four surrounding vans will be destroyed. The fight was in a mess, and it was no longer possible to provide effective protection to the soldiers of the Ming army.

Xu Yingwei's battlefield insight is also very keen.

Zheng Sen took the Air Force soldiers and loaded two barrels of tung oil and twenty grenades into the gondolas of all ten flying cars.

The payload of the No. 1 flying car currently equipped by the Ming Air Force is 400 catties, and the payload is the surplus loading weight after removing the hull, hanging basket, blast furnace and other devices and the crew.

That is, it can lift objects weighing 400 kilograms in the air, but it can't fly far.

If the 400-jin payload is used to carry tung oil, the flying car can fly in the air for two hours, and can fly as far as a hundred miles. Zheng Sen has been floating in the air for nearly two hours since the morning.

Full ammunition means carrying 200 catties of tung oil and 20 ten catties of hand grenades.
