  Chapter 412 410 [Kill the miscellaneous soldiers first] (Add more for the penguin boss)

  After Huang Taiji’s reorganization, the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty were as follows—

  Ba Yala Camp: One Niulu (300 households) selects 17 strongest warriors as the Ba Yala soldiers.

  Ali Hachaoha Camp: That is, the Manchu cavalry.

  Gabush Xianying Camp: The elite selected from the Bayala soldiers are the forward troops on the two wings.

  Wuzhen Hachao Battalion: There is a firearms unit of the Han Army Banner, and there is also a Heavy Armored Infantry Battalion of the Han Army Banner.

   There is also a special unit called "sizu", that is, the coated slaves who fight with the Eight Banners soldiers. The main functions are: assisting in robbery, taking care of property, escorting captives, and temporarily serving as civilian husband and cannon fodder.

  Duoduo came to Shandong this time to fight, and his troops were mainly inlaid with white flags, but the source of troops was somewhat confused.

  Because Dorgon took away fifteen cattle records, Duoduo's direct troops became very few. But you can't just bring those people to the battlefield, so you throw some generals with other flags to cooperate.

  Dorgon felt that Shandong was unstable, so he threw Zeyuan, the deputy capital commander of the Han Army Xiangbai Banner, over.

  Zu Zeyuan is the son of Zu Dashou, and the time of departure was a bit late. At this time, he had just arrived in Jining with his troops, and confronted Fei Ruhe with Hong Chengchou.

  In addition, in addition to the Eight Banners Army and the Daming generals, Duduo also has 1,500 Korean firearms soldiers.

  These blunderbuss soldiers were personal soldiers of the Korean king. They were often conscripted by the Qing Dynasty to fight, and they simply refused to return them later.

  At this moment, the artillery unit under Geng Zhongming's command pulled out to bombard the civilian husbands of the Datong Army. But only two guns did this, and the rest continued to advance. On the way forward, one door was blasted away, and the rest were fired at the artillery of the Datong Army.

  The chariots moved forward slowly, followed by the heavy armored infantry of the Han Army Banner of Li Sutai and Geng Zhongming, and the Gabush Xian Battalion of Duoduo.

  Duoduo personally led 1,500 Bala soldiers and advanced together as the Chinese army.

  As for the surrendered soldiers and the North Korean firecrackers, they advanced slowly, and under the cover of the cavalry of the Gabush Xianying Camp, they circled around the flanks of the Datong Army, and attracted the artillery of the Datong Army by the way.

  Although the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to artillery, Geng Zhongming really didn't have many artillery in his hands.

  Dorgon took part of it away and took it to Henan to fight. Now there are only ten artillery pieces, two of which are Franco cannons.

   "Boom boom boom!"

  The artillery of the two sides fired at each other, and the Datong Army had twenty-five artillery pieces.

   After a round of confrontation, the Manchu Qing artillery was smashed again, and only a few artillerymen of the Datong Army died.

   "Speed ​​up!" Duduo hurriedly issued an order.

  The opposite side is too extravagant, there are only 10,000 troops, but there are so many artillery.

  Ming army fought in the field, generally using Huzun cannons, Flang cannons, and Hongyi cannons were set up to defend the city. The Qing army rarely encountered such a situation, and the Datong army actually carried twenty-five red barbarian cannons into field battles.

  Hmm...Ming and Manchu Qing called all front-loading cannons Hongyi cannons.

   "Boom boom boom!"

   Another round of artillery bombardment, the Manchu Qing artillery was smashed again, and another four shells fell into the Manchu infantry formation.

   "Boom!"

  One of the shells hit the car hard.

  Even though it was wrapped in cowhide and iron sheets, one corner of the cart was smashed. The solid iron bullet jumped two feet high towards the sky with the remaining power, and fell down to hit an unlucky Kabushian elite soldier.

  As for the wagon, at first glance, only one corner was damaged, but the side pillar on the same side was broken.

   was pushed forward a few steps, the entire wooden shield fell backwards, and the cowhide and iron pieces dragged and did not fall down completely. One of the shooting positions of the chariot was abolished, and the number of infantry that could be covered was also reduced by one-third.

  The civilians of the Datong Army have all retreated, and only the artillery is attacking in front of the formation.

  A shell flew in and hit three artillerymen of the Datong Army. Two were killed and one was injured. The injured one lost his right leg.

  However, the Manchu Artillery Battalion suffered even worse losses.

  Not only were four cannons hit this time, but also Lu Zhineng, the "Guan Hongyi Cannon General" of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Geng Zhongming, was also hit by the artillery shells of the Datong Army.

  Lu Zhineng was directing the adjustment of the muzzle, when an iron bullet whizzed towards him, his whole head was like a smashed watermelon, and in an instant, only the neck was left standing still.

   "Boom boom boom!"

   Facing the terrifying firepower, the artillery commander of our own side died again. The Manchu and Qing artillery directly collapsed, abandoned the artillery position, turned around and fled.

   "Boom!"

   Another wagon was hit, this time right in the center.

  It was covered with cowhide and iron sheets to release the force. The wooden shield was not directly smashed, but the wooden beam below was broken. Not only was the chariot scrapped, but it fell down and hit two musketeers.

   After defeating the enemy artillery battalion, the Datong Artillery Corps aimed specifically at the chariots.

  Unfortunately, the hit rate of the front-mounted smoothbore gun is impressive, and only eight wagons were damaged in the bombardment for a long time. Two of them, only partly damaged, could continue to cover the advance of the infantry.

   Fortunately, the forward speed of the chariot was slow, and the Datong Artillery had enough time to fire again.

  Yilde led the Qing Xiao cavalry, broke away from the surrendered troops, and went around to the flank of the Datong Army—the general Zuo Liangyu who surrendered to the Datong Army.

  Ma Wannian imitated his example and led the dragoons around the opposing general Zuo Liangyu.

   There are also a thousand North Korean gunfire soldiers walking in the middle tremblingly. Just as he was about to stop and take aim, Ma Wannian had already led the dragoons past and stopped near Jin Shenghuan's troops.

  Kim Seung-hwan's troops do not have long-range units!

   About forty steps away, 2500 dragoons, divided into three rounds of shooting, this is to avoid saturation of firepower caused by a salvo.

  Jin Shenghuan was born as a bandit. Historically, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty first, and then to the Qing Dynasty. Because of his meritorious service, he could not be named a marquis, and was extorted by the governor and chief minister for money. He actually switched jobs again, killed the Jiangxi governor, governor, and chief minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and fell into the arms of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. In the end, he was defeated and attempted suicide, and was executed by Manqing Lingchi.

  This old man is doing badly at this time, he has been with Zuo Liangyu for four years, only the old thieves under his command are wearing armor, and the rest of the newly recruited soldiers are not even fully equipped with leather armor.

  After being hit by the firecrackers three times, Jin Shenghuan's troops immediately collapsed.

  Ma Wannian led the dragoons to a distance, dismounted to reload the ammunition, and then rushed up again to aim and shoot.

  This time, the army that aimed at Hao Zhongzhong was thrown into confusion by Jin Shenghuan's broken soldiers. Three minutes later, the formation had not yet been adjusted, and there were still some broken soldiers shoving inside.

   "Bang bang bang bang!"

  Although Hao Xiaozhong had archers, his formation became chaotic but he couldn't shoot in formation.

  After a triple strike, Hao Xiaozhong's troops did not collapse, but became more chaotic.

"kill!"

  Ma Wannian extinguished the matchlock, hung up the blunderbuss, drew his waist knife, and led his troops to kill the enemy.

   "Team, team!"

   Hao Xiaozhong shouted, but no one listened to him.

   Of Zuo Liangyu's generals who followed Duoduo to the expedition, only Li Guoying's department was barely considered elite, and the rest were all mobs.

  They had already expanded their army too quickly, gathered surrendered soldiers and refugees to form an army. Then there was a big epidemic in Shandong, and they didn't dare to gather for training at all, and there was a shortage of food, so they were hungry and full. What kind of fighting power can this have?

  Ma Wannian is worthy of being Qin Liangyu's grandson, he led the dragoons to charge over, took the lead, beheaded several enemies in a row, and Hao Xiaozhong's troops also collapsed.

  Hao Xiaozhong panicked and beat his horse to escape. Ma Wannian rushed to his horse and cut him off with a single blow.

  The rout of these two departments destroyed the friendly forces.

  Those North Korean gunfire soldiers also collapsed in a daze, leaving only Li Guoying's troops in a chaotic formation, moving closer to the main force of the Qing Dynasty.

  Ma Wannian did not go after Li Guoying, but continued to chase and kill the rout soldiers. He wanted to kill the rout soldiers completely.

  Yilde's side was similar, rushed to the front of Zuo Liangyu's army, and threw random shots into the crowd. One charge and one shot, then go away immediately, and then charge and shoot again.

  After only three rounds of attacks, Han Shixiao's troops who surrendered to the Datong Army collapsed.

   Immediately afterwards, Chen Ding and Song Rong also collapsed.

  Neither Zhang Tieniu nor Duoduo dared to keep Zuo Liangyu's generals by their side. Because it was so bad, the two sides agreed to kill the soldiers and generals on the opposite side first.

  Duoduo was luckier, at least there was still a surrendered general, Li Guoying, who survived.

   Each of them chased and killed the defeated soldiers. Ma Wannian lit the match again and circled to the rear of the main force of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

  Elder did the same, and circled to the rear of the Datong Army's position.

  The cavalry on both sides couldn't do anything to each other, and simply ignored each other. They seem to have great confidence in the infantry friendly forces, let the infantry carry the harassment of the cavalry, and harass the opponent's infantry themselves.

   By this time, 21 Manchu chariots had been destroyed by artillery, and more than 300 Eight Banner soldiers had been bombarded to death by artillery.

   There are still about sixty steps between the two sides.

  Ma Wannian and Yild each went around to the rear of the opponent's infantry, and they couldn't find a chance to strike.

   Eight Banners soldiers wear armor 100% of the time, even the archers wear cotton armor. It is useless for dragoons to shoot from a distance, and they will be shot back by enemy archers when they get close.

  All members of the Datong Army also wear armor, and they are also protected by rattan players. The bamboo helmets embedded with iron pieces on their heads can also effectively defend against bows and arrows. Yard threatened to charge again, and threw a horse on horseback, feeling like he was doing nothing.

  Of course, Ma Wannian's harassment was also useful, that is, it slowed down the progress of some Eight Banners soldiers.

   "Boom!"

   Another four chariots were destroyed, and a few shells rolled into the formation of the Eight Banners soldiers.

  Duoduo issued an order to let the troops whose chariots were destroyed speed up and launch an attack.

  The armored Manchu archers and firecrackers began to shoot at about forty steps. The sword and shield soldiers of the Datong Army stepped forward to cover the artillery so that the artillery could continue to bombard.

  Chen Fugui didn't wait for twenty-step shots, and ordered the firecrackers to come forward, first to fire in three bursts.

  War cannot be dogmatic. In this case, twenty-step shooting cannot be tolerated.

  The distance between the two sides is forty steps, whether they can hit is purely random. Even if they hit, they might not be able to pierce the cotton armor. Anyway, they fired guns at each other and listened to the excitement.

   "Peng!"

  The distance between each other is getting closer and closer, and the artillery is getting more and more accurate. This time, five vehicles were destroyed at once.

  Duo Duo issued an order again, let the troops who had not been destroyed in the chariot stand at the front, and all the other Eight Banners soldiers squeezed behind the chariot. All the archers hide behind the chariot and shoot, this distance can already shoot and kill the enemy.

  The last round of artillery fire directly destroyed eight chariots. The Datong Army moved forward to protect the artillery positions, and the firecrackers also retreated to be protected by sword shields.

  Both Zhang Tieniu and Duoduo were a little nervous, because this series of changes, each other was orderly, and they were absolutely rare rivals in life.
