Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Dorgon is calm on the surface, but fidgets in his heart.And Xue Yongli was calm on the surface, but restless in his heart.Facing the upcoming national war, the two coaches were a little nervous.

But the pre-war formation of 10,000+ troops takes a long time.However, the two armies patiently arranged their own troops and did not disturb the enemy's formation.Even before the battle, the cavalry went to the enemy's front to provoke and the chasing battle between the small cavalry did not appear.Today it is decided to decide the outcome, so the two coaches are not interested in playing some tricks.

But while waiting, a few Qing soldiers came running from the direction of Shanhaiguan.They sent an urgent report to Duo ErGun.Dorgon took a look at it, and a smile appeared on his face immediately.Then he announced loudly to the generals of the Qing army around him: "Sony and the others fought well! They repulsed Wu Ni's troops to rescue the two cities of Liaodong. You must also fight hard, don't let Sony and the others show off in front of you! !"

"Good!" Good news came before the battle, which is really a good sign.Immediately there was a burst of cheers under the commander of the Chinese army.

Seeing the cheers of the generals, Dorgon still kept smiling, and then he stuffed the urgent message into his arms.The urgent letter was indeed from Sony.However, the content in it is not the good news that Dorgon said, but just a notification: Sony's detective cavalry and Pegasus town's detective cavalry have met, and they may soon go to war with Pegasus town.Of course, the meaning of Sony's urgent report is to ask Dorgondo to send some reinforcements there.

But after receiving this urgent report, Dorgon was relieved a lot.He thought he seemed to understand why.It turned out to hold back the main force of the Qing army.If Dorgon was not allowed to send troops to support Soni's army, the Daping Army would have turned defense into offense uncharacteristically.And after understanding this reason, Dorgon's heart was more than half relieved.It's better to have a result than to guess wildly.

Besides.Now because Shanhaiguan is in the hands of the Qing army, the Qing army is actually fighting inside.As long as the main force of the Daping army in front of them is repelled, the Qing army can easily pass through Shanhaiguan to support the Sony Ministry.It is even possible to seize the flaws in the Daping Army's offensive and come to a final battle.Of course, now Dorgon most hopes that Abatai's troops will appear.

The reason why Dorgon concealed it from the generals around him just now is because Sony's Ministry has just contacted Pegasus Town, and there is no battle report at all.So why should Dorgon distract the generals?Everything is focused on the decisive battle in front of you.

It's very interesting.Before the decisive battle started, Dorgon pinned his hope of victory on the threat of the Abatai tribe to the rear of the Daping Army; The arrival of reinforcements.Both coaches did not understand the battle situation in other theaters due to poor information.They also pinned their hopes on off-the-market moves outside the battlefield.

On the other hand.Dorgon and Xue Yongli also lacked confidence in their army's victory in today's decisive battle relying solely on their own strength.

"Master! How should we fight?" Tuberi asked Dorgon, seeing that both sides were about to complete their formation.

"Fight according to the old routine of the previous days. Let the Han army flag in front charge first." Dorgon replied.

Dorgon is to respond to all changes with the same.To make Xue Yongli on the opposite side have an illusion, it seems that the Qing army didn't notice anything unusual about the Daping Army at all, which attracted Xue Yongli to make a command error.

Following Dorgon's order, the more than 2 Han troops in the forefront of the Qing army, all under the cover of the front row of scull carts, slowly pressed towards the main formation of the Daping Army.

The current Qing army also has experience in fighting the Daping army.Therefore, their scull carts are also scattered, and they will not focus on the artillery of the Daping Army.And they also completely abandoned the tactics of cavalry charging.It is to limit the firearms of the Daping Army.So what started out was pawn versus pawn.

Seeing that the Qing army still maintained the normal state of attacking first, Xue Yongli couldn't help but let out a "huh".

The [-] troops left the camp early.There is no way to hide it at all, and Xue Yongli never thought of hiding it.But according to Xue Yongli's understanding, the tactics of the Qing army will definitely change accordingly.Unexpectedly, the current Qing army is still the same, which makes Xue Yongli have a lot of doubts.

Could it be that the Qing army has discovered that the Han army has rebelled?Could it be that the Qing army wanted to come up with a trick?Did something unexpected happen that I didn't know about?Question marks appeared in Xue Yongli's mind.

However, the Qing army had already attacked first according to the old routine, so the Daping army gave up the strong attack and followed the old routine to defend first!So Xue Yongli made a gesture to ask the troops to guard first.Then the soldiers immediately ran along the passage to the front troops, passing Xue Yongli's orders everywhere.

The battle that followed was like a repeat of the previous days.The artillery of the Daping Army was still the first to show off.However, the sculls and carts of the Qing army were relatively scattered, and the artillery could not be fired in a concentrated manner.Therefore, although the artillery shells destroyed many scull carts, such losses were still within the tolerance of the Qing army.Even with the cover of the scull cart, long-range firepower such as firecrackers and swarms of bees has no shooting effect.Therefore, the Daping Army simply did not use these firepower.

After the Qing army's scull chariot approached, the Daping army's phalanx had already lined up with spears.After the Qing army behind the scull cart rushed out, they immediately threw a large number of javelins and throwing axes at the Daping army, trying to disrupt the Daping army's spear formation.

However, under the cover of the gunmen's free fire, the Daping army's long spear formation moved forward to assassinate, and the number of casualties on both sides gradually increased.However, not long after the battle, seeing that the formation of the Daping Army was still intact, the Qing army began to call for gold, so the fighting Qing soldiers also dragged their scull carts back to the main formation.

Originally, according to the old routine, the Qing army should withdraw after the same battle several times, and end the day's battle.But the battle that followed deviated from this trajectory.

Seeing the retreat of the Qing army, Xue Yongli immediately ordered: "The ten regiments in the front row maintain a square formation and move forward at the inspection speed."

The inspection speed of the Daping Army is equivalent to modern time, that is, about seventy or eighty steps per minute.So the drummers of each regiment beat the war drums, and the ten square formations composed of ten regiments in the front row also marched forward with the beat of the drums.

Seeing the ten phalanxes of the Daping Army marching forward with their spears upright, some Qing soldiers who didn't know the inside story widened their eyes, and couldn't accept the sudden change of Daping Army's tactics for a while.

Tuberi and others, who knew that the Daping Army might change, pointed at the Daping Army's phalanx and shouted excitedly: "Come here! They're attacking!" (To be continued...)
