A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 894 Desperately
"This is the wrath of the gods."

Splendid rockets flew towards the enemy camp continuously, blowing up the Manchurian barbarians crying for their fathers and mothers a few miles away. The Mongolian cavalry of the newly attached battalion, the Mongolian cavalry of the foreign domain and Qinghai Hetao were all dazzled. Especially Qinghai Hetao Mongolian Zordan and other leaders are muttering to Buddha.

Although they are Mongolians, they have been assimilated by the local people a lot. The flags they hold are seldom Sulu ingots, but more like five-color prayer flags, which are quite local in the snowy area.

Like Tuxie Tuhan Gonpo and others in the Mongolian Outer Domain, they all dispatched [-] cavalry soldiers to participate in the battle, and they counted a lot of money.

At this time, they looked at the flames and thick smoke all over the sky, the shocking howl of the rocket, the long distance and power, they couldn't imagine except miracles in their minds, and they couldn't help secretly rejoicing that they joined the Ming Kingdom. The governor's side, otherwise he would be the one being bombed at this time.

"You know there are big killers in the marshal's army."

Wang Pu held up the binoculars and kept looking at the situation on the opposite side. His new barracks had already been arranged by Han Chao, and the command had also been handed over. At this time, he was riding beside Han Chao, with only a few hundred guards around him, but Wang Pu was very satisfied.

As soon as he joined the battle, Marshal Wang Dou replaced all his battalion with self-generated guns and gun swords. His new army had experienced the bloody battle in Songshan, and its combat strength was not weak. Now it has sharp guns, which is even more powerful.Every time he fights with Wang Dou, he gets a lot of benefits, which makes Wang Pu firmly determined to hug Wang Dou's thigh.

At this time, he was yelling, which attracted the attention of others, and suddenly Wang Pu shouted: "Okay, good fight."

He laughed heartily: "That rocket hit too well just now, haha, it killed these rascals."

……

Two big and small iron balls connected by iron chains whizzed and whirled. It spun rapidly and beat all the way, blood and flesh flew everywhere it passed. The iron chain whipped violently, and half of his face was smashed immediately, his eyes, nose, and mouth were squeezed together, which was very scary.

In addition, the head of Dorji, the Mongolian governor of the Ministry of Punishment, was strangled away in an instant, and the headless body gushed out blood, which was very oozing.

In the end, the hammer was wrapped around the leg of Zhu Shiyin, Han Chengzheng of the Ministry of Industry, leaving only a little bit of flesh on his right leg. He crawled in a pool of blood while wailing heart-piercingly.

Dorgon's eyes were tearing apart, just now the Jingbian army's three "Great God Fire Flying Crows" fell all at once, creating a horrible scene. The surrounding howls and fragmented limbs made his heart and lungs twitch.

Chaos, all plans were disrupted.

In his plan, let the Han and Japanese troops on the two wings face the Eight Banners, and the surrendered Ming army first consume the vitality of the Jingbian army, and lead the main force of the Mongolian army to wait for the opportunity. Compete, fisherman wins.

Unexpectedly, the Jingbian army would strike first, and they themselves would suffer disaster. Especially their new weapons were very sharp, and they hit the rear of their own central army, causing a very terrifying effect.

And the front line was even worse, a large number of "Little God Fire Flying Crows" fell, and the soldiers rode on their horses, standing alive and being beaten.

And my own artillery, it's all over.

After Wu Sangui and others surrendered, they seized and placed in Liaodong, Shanhaiguan and other places the original four-wheel millstones of the Qing Dynasty, 35 Shenwei General Cannons, 65 Tianyou Fuwei General Cannons, and some local Hongyi Cannons, a total of about [-]. The red barbarian guns were also pulled by Dorgon.

Except for the road led by Jierhalang, he gave ten four-wheeled millstone cannons, and he was reluctant to use the rest for the two wings. He only gave them a few ordinary red barbarian cannons, ready to gather and bombard the Jingbian army. The large formation of the Chinese army is now under the attack of their rockets, and it is all over.

Their incendiary bombs rained down, and even caused a martyrdom explosion, causing blood and flesh to fly from the surrounding people.

The artillery he had worked so hard to transport for thousands of miles was finished. If he was beaten like this, he would not be able to fight back. I am afraid that his Manchurian Chinese army would collapse alive.

Dorgon could see very clearly that the Jingbian Army on the opposite side was under the banner of the Xuanwu Army, and their general was Wang Dou's confidant and heavy general Han Chao. There are about [-] cavalry in the rear array alone.

They have a large number of cavalry and cavalry, and they are staring at themselves closely. If their own side is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable under their pursuit.

The situation has changed, and it is impossible not to work hard, and the strategy needs to be changed.

Dorgon also saw to some extent that although the new weapons of the Jingbian Army were sharp, the number of casualties they caused was still small. As long as he held back his fear, it might not be impossible to restore the situation.

Right now we can't just stand still, otherwise the Jingbian army will come forward, and their sharp weapons such as "Shenhuo Flying Crows" will get closer, and that will really be the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon ordered Duoduo on the left wing and Abatai on the right wing to supervise the attack immediately and attack the left and right wings of the Xuanwu Army respectively. In the same order, they attacked the Xuanwu army's center formation in batches, and they were not allowed to retreat without hearing Mingjin.

Their attacking strategy is that a large number of horses are in front, the rear is a little scattered, and the last few rows are concentrated, so that fewer people will die.

He will be divided into several tiers as if the Eight Banners are full, and he will prepare a large number of horses. At the critical moment, a thunderous blow will break through the Jingbian army's middle army.

……

The earthen platform under the cannon shook violently, a heavy red cannon let out an earth-shattering roar, long flames and thick gunpowder smoke spewed out, and a cannonball weighing more than ten catties whizzed out, and several rows of chariots over there They were all shattered, and the heavy solid iron ball slammed into it, causing the wooden planks and fragments of the human body to fly in all directions.

As early as after the rocket volley, the bandits' car battalion, gun battalion, and artillery battalion were in a panic. Many bandits ran away. Now after the artillery bombardment, their chaotic situation is about to spread to the entire front line. A disintegration is just around the corner.

If they work harder, their entire front line will be defeated, clearing the obstacles for their own line of progress.

Thick white smoke filled the air, and the loader filled the silk medicine bag again, and then one person inserted the goose feather medicine tube, and then ignited and launched.

The artillery battalion of the Jingbian Army widely used silk powder packs and goose-feather guns. There were very few residues inside, and the gun bore could be cleaned several times. A pretty amazing rate of fire.

There was another deafening gunfire from the earthen platform, and the violent gunpowder smoke enveloped the area once again.

……

"Tom."

Amidst the dull sound, a heavy mortar not far away emitted a dense flame, and then thick smoke spread to the surroundings.

An incendiary shell roared out of the thick mortar, and at the same time as the artillery was fired, hot gunpowder gas passed through the edge of the shell, igniting the gunpowder in the fuse.

Compared with the original explosive bombs, the fuze technology of the Jingbian Army has improved a lot. The obvious one is that the time-delay fuze is better, and it even no longer ignites separately, but uses blazing gunpowder gas.

Of course, although this is much simpler and more convenient, due to the high pressure of the gunpowder gas, if the fuze is not facing the direction of the muzzle, it is likely to be blown into the body by the gunpowder gas, causing a vicious accident in which the shell explodes in the barrel.

The solution of the Jingbian army was to process a protruding fuze iron platform on the shell, which could limit the roll of the shell in the bore, so that the fuze port was always facing the muzzle direction.

Of course, this is not without drawbacks. The iron fuze platform is difficult to process, and it will also cause certain wear and tear on the inner wall of the gun barrel. Therefore, the Jingbian Army internally studies the wooden fuze platform.

It's just that the wooden fuze platform also has disadvantages, that is, it is prone to premature fire failure after launch, so the final solution is to add a cork support to the shell.This can prevent the fuze from accidentally detonating in the bore, and also increase the accuracy of the shell and the air-tightness of the bore.

But it is still just researching and collecting data. At present, iron fuze stations are still used in the military.

Moreover, because of the chamber pressure, mortar shells do not have prefabricated fragments, and their lethality is much lower than that of rockets. Their advantage is that they are relatively cheap.

The shells whizzed out, and finally landed on a fortress of the rogues, and then exploded, sticky flames shot out, several rogues screamed on fire, and they ran away in a hurry, and finally ignited the fire on the fort. The gunpowder, the shaking that shook the earth, and the flames that soared into the sky merged into a blazing sea of ​​flames.

……

Wang Dou put down the binoculars, and all the fortresses of the bandits were destroyed, and their chariot battalion and gun battalion were all defeated, fleeing backward like a tide.

Amidst the sound of drum music, Wen Fangliang's infantry began to advance like a wall again, but at the same time, some cavalry from the two wings of the bandits' central army had rushed towards them.The two wings of their large formation also began to attack on both sides of the south side of Daerling.

Looking at the Han Dynasty to the east of Zangerling, Wu Sangui and the Han Eight Banners on the two wings of the Qing army have begun to line up and approach. Their Manchurian formation is also ready to move. The position launched an offensive.

Wang Dou was expressionless. After all, Li Zicheng and Dorgon had experienced military experience, and they quickly reacted even under the rocket attack, knowing that it was time to desperately.And at this time, the Rockets are still playing more of them in the front line, and the main elites of both sides are there, so it is impossible not to take any measures.

The two battlefields were in full swing, Wang Dou kept watching, the situation in front of him was what he was looking forward to, whether it was the old battalion of the bandits, or the full Eight Banners of the Tartars, these people had very rich combat experience, and they had fat horses. One runs very fast.

Even if Jie Shi was defeated, he didn't know how many of them could be hunted down.

So this battle is not just a simple defeat, Wang Dou also hopes to kill more of their elite forces on the battlefield.

……

With the sound of orderly footsteps, [-] infantry soldiers marched firmly under the banner of Sun Moon Waves.

Seen from the side, they seem to be eight straight rows of horizontal lines, and each row stretches for four miles with one color of shiny armor, jumping red tassels on the helmets, sharp gun swords, sharp armor-piercing long cone guns, and the same Glistening in the sun.

Accompanied by drumbeats and military music, they strode forward heavily, as if lifting their feet and stepping on the ground at the same time, maintaining the same, neat rhythm.

Every time they stepped down, it seemed that the ground was shaking, and then lifted up, there was a tidy boom.

Their guns, swords, long spears, and red tassels also fluctuated regularly as they marched, and their flags fluttered and fluttered, forming a majestic force.

When Wen Fangliang saw the resolute expressions of these sergeants, his heart was full of pride. As long as he stepped in front of the old camp of thieves, it would be the time for their destruction.
