Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

The sound of guns rumbled, and the smoke of gunpowder spread all over the battlefield.Both armies were retreating until three or four miles were opened in the middle, giving way for the artillery of the two armies to bombard each other.

Dorgon watched the Qing army rearranging in a hurry, and saw that his artillery team had been covered by the artillery fire of the Daping Army before the formation. He knew in his heart: his artillery team was finished.

Taking advantage of the gap between the formation of troops, Dorgon has already summoned all the generals of the Qing army.But seeing the fierce artillery fire of the Daping army, the faces of the generals of the Qing army were not very good.The unfavorable start of the war, coupled with the rebellion of troops, cast a shadow over the hearts of all the generals of the Qing army.

Dorgon looked at the faces of these generals, and coughed lightly: "Ahem!" Let them focus on themselves.

"The battle just now was a bit chaotic. But no wonder everyone, no one expected that there would be rebels. But that's it, we fought the Han army evenly, and we didn't suffer any losses!" Dorgon said calmly.

But these words made the faces of the generals of the Qing army a little angry.Indeed, in the battle just now, the casualties of both sides were about the same.Judging from the number of casualties, it seems to be evenly matched.Of course, you can't care about the two rebel troops, let alone the lost artillery.So Dorgon played a trick in his words, which had a very good effect on boosting the morale of the generals.

"Let's not talk about the previous battles! But you should also understand in your heart that the Han army is worse than ours. This king has decided: we can't stick to the defense, we must give play to the advantages of our nation's athletes. Ride on a horse. There is nothing wrong with defending As a result, we still have to attack." Dorgon continued.

"Exactly! Exactly!" said Azig on the side, "Fourteenth brother! We were beaten and suppressed. The athletes can't stand this kind of aggrieved long ago. It's time to fight out long ago, to destroy the arrogance of the Han dog." Press down."

Dorgon nodded to Azige, and continued: "Our artillery team has attracted the artillery team of the Han army, and now the artillery team of the Han army is also in the middle, making it difficult to move. One of the biggest weapons is missing. Our iron cavalry will hit the two wings of the Han army. We will try to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop."

"Prince of England! Tuberi! You two are feinting to attack on the right wing with the Mongolian eight banners, two white banners, and two red banners! Attention! Fight hard! Attract the Han army to move troops to the right wing." Dorgon said to Azig and Tuberi ordered.

"twitter!"

"Prince Su! King Pingxi! You two are waiting for my order with two yellow flags and Guan Ning cavalry. Once the right wing wins, you must charge decisively and smash the left wing of the Han army at once. Try to even them The middle road is also defeated!" Dorgon then ordered Hao Ge and Wu Sangui.

"twitter!"

"This prince personally leads the Han army banner and other banner troops to block the middle of the Han army." Dorgon then ordered.

"twitter!"

"Everyone! Let's fight for the victory. Wait for my king's order. When the whole army attacks, they must not retreat. Violators will be dealt with according to the military law."

"twitter!"

……

In this morning's battle.Both sides suffered more than 3000 casualties.However, the two troops of the Qing army turned against the water at the same time, which caused the Qing army to be extremely passive.For this reason, Dorgon did not hesitate to sacrifice his artillery team to temporarily stabilize the situation, and rearranged his troops to prepare for the next battle.

As for the battles that have taken place, Dorgon also reflected in time: After knowing that today's Daping Army will take the initiative to attack, the Qing army is ready to focus on defense.First wear down the spirit of the Daping army, and then the whole army counterattacks.

But this tactic made the Qing army fall into a passive state.Don't mention accidents like treason before the battle.Just saying that the Qing army is dominated by cavalry, with strong mobility and strong attack power, should not be dedicated to defending.This is the reason why the Qing army was passive.

Fortunately, Dorgon saw this in time, and he immediately adjusted his tactics.In the next battle, the Qing army will turn from defense to offense, give full play to its own advantages, and strive to use continuous attacks to completely defeat the Daping army.

As the smoke from the battlefield cleared, the artillery positions of the Qing army were in a mess.The only few artillery pieces that were relatively intact were twisted and crooked, and the position was already empty.All the general guns and general guns of the Qing army were completely lost in the artillery battle just now.

And the artillery losses of the Daping Army were not small. In the battle just now, more than a dozen guns were blown up and down.But in any case, the threat of the Qing army's long-range artillery has been removed, and now the Daping army can attack with all its strength.

So when the artillery bombardment was in the second half, the Daping Army's cavalry artillery phalanx had quietly advanced to the back of its own artillery position.On the one hand, this is to protect their own artillery positions and prevent the counter-charge of the Qing cavalry; on the other hand, it is also to launch an attack on the Qing army at the first moment when the shelling ends.Therefore, when the two armies continued to fight, it was still the Daping Army that launched the attack first.

In the ensuing battle, the Daping army will use the method of intensive artillery fire to disperse the Qing army's troops piece by piece, so as to accumulate little into more, from quantitative change to qualitative change, and finally to defeat all the Qing army troops .

At this time, the ten phalanxes that had taken the lead in the charge just now withdrew to rest and recuperate, and the cavalry led by Ma Shouying also withdrew. Even the troops of Kang Zhengwu and Du Laoliu also confiscated their weapons and placed them behind the formation of the Daping Army. Take care of it first.And the ten completed phalanxes that were brought up are still moving towards the front of the Qing army.

According to Dorgon's order, the rearranged Qing army also began to advance. They walked forward for a long time, still lining up the oar carts and carts at the forefront, and taking a defensive posture. Come to paralyze the Daping Army.

Until the distance between the two armies was only about one mile, the Qing army finally tried to see each other.They spread out the defensive formation on the right, revealing the cavalry array that had already been prepared behind.

With the sound of war drums, a linear array of hundreds of cavalrymen rushed towards the two phalanxes on the left wing of the Daping Army.

"The firecrackers are ready to shoot in rounds!"

"Putting out the gun array!"

The officers of the two phalanxes on the left wing of the Daping Army shouted orders at the same time.The soldiers of the two phalanxes were also immediately ready to fight.Five rows of musketeers were quickly lined up in front, while the phalanx soldiers in the back also stepped on the tails of their spears and placed them at different angles, and immediately set up the spear formation.

In the blink of an eye, the Qing army had already charged a hundred paces away, and with a cry: "Shoot!", the Daping army's firecrackers began to fire in bursts. (To be continued..)
