Chapter 311 New Weapons
"Dog...Commander Zhao.
Sarhu is ahead.
I’m afraid the Qing army wants a decisive battle?”
The one who spoke was a veteran from Luzhuang and a lieutenant from Gousheng.
But the current dog leftover can no longer be called dog leftover directly.
King Xia has appointed Gou Sheng as the commander of Liaobei.
Gou Sheng's original surname was Zhao. After becoming a general, he changed his name himself and took the word "win" in a single name.
Commander Zhao Sheng looked ahead, and it was also a bit incredible.
"As the commander of Liaobei, I only have two thousand soldiers.
This Qing army really respects me enough..."
Gou Sheng murmured to himself, thinking that Liaobei is too close to Shengjing.
The Qing army's troops took the lead in resisting.
The army of Liu Qingfeng and others will have some time to reach Liao.
Or maybe the Tianwu Army still has a buffer against Shengjing, and Huang Taiji wants to deal with the Shanlin soldiers first...
“It must have been too early.
We are here to delay. When the Tianwu Army in the west comes, the Qing army in Sarhu will naturally evacuate..."
The adjutant suggested.
The terrain here was more beneficial to the Qing army before the Ming Dynasty. It was difficult for the two thousand mountain forest soldiers in northern Liao to capture the city.
Even field battles are a bit difficult.
"The siege cannot be sieged.
Rather, the Qing army was prepared for it.
We were here for assault.”
Gou Sheng said without doubt.
I just sent troops, so there is no saying that I would stop immediately.
Besides, the Tianwu Army still has to cross the Liao River and cannot approach Shengjing in a short time.
“That’s OK…”
The adjutant nodded and said no more.
Although there are only two thousand soldiers in the forest, if they want to completely attack the city, there are still three thousand savage tribes that can be used as dead soldiers.
Moreover, Sarhu originally had no city.
After the Ming army retreated, the Qing army established a fortress based on the surrounding Qing army guards, and began to build additional defenses after clashing with the Xia Kingdom.
In two years, Sarhu City has grown to a certain scale, but it is not a Jincheng Tangchi.
The population in northern Liaoning was too sparse, and even though the Xia Kingdom began to immigrate in large numbers, the number of troops did not increase significantly.
Two thousand mountain forest soldiers set up their formations on the Hun River, mainly choosing the place where the artillery is placed.
During this period, the Qing army came out to confront each other briefly.
But he left just after a test, and he didn't seem to want to get too entangled with the Xia army.
Three days later.
The savage troops of Yehe City also rushed to the city of Sarhu.
The heavy artillery of Xia Kingdom was transported by water and turned south from Yehe City.
The Qing army's temptations were becoming more and more frequent, and the current mountain forest soldiers had sufficient firearms and were no longer invisible.
With the sound of artillery.
The formal war between the two armies has begun...
The soldiers in the mountains and forests met the Qing army as soon as they crossed the river bank, but unexpectedly they did not meet the cavalry.
Rows of Qing soldiers holding firearms operated firearms with unfamiliar techniques. Unlike the previous Han army, these firearms were mixed teams.
It doesn't mean to attack, and you will retreat after a few shots, and you don't care about the shooting effect at all.
Gou Sheng sent troops to spy on the surrounding situation, and while continuing to advance to the city, the Qing army's team retreated all the way.
Just when Mu Yan Agu's savage troops could no longer hold back and rushed forward.
The artillery behind the Qing army started to fire.
Although the Savage Division had firearms in its hands, it could not withstand the artillery fire that was fired from the flat. The first round of charge failed and nearly a hundred men were lost.
“It’s interesting.
Jiannu knew that we were not good at melee combat.
I'm afraid I didn't learn the way of deploying troops in Xia State, so I wanted to lure the firearms troops into the depths, and when the cavalry in the wilderness department charged, I fought back with artillery..."
Gou Sheng murmured to himself, it was not easy for the Qing army to undergo the changes they have today.
Because this is completely different from the original Eight Banners soldiers' combat methods.
However, such tactics seemed too pediatric in front of the Xia army.
The Xia army had systematic training, and the Qing army's arrangement of firearm troops was almost as childish as it was.
But Dorgon in the city was extremely satisfied. There were trenches behind the firearms, and most of the cavalry of the Qing army had been ambushed.
We just waited to wipe out these thousands of troops and then returned to the Liaohe River to fight against the Tianwu Army.
"Prince Dorgon, if you retreat another round, most of our cavalry can charge.
We have mountains and forests hidden, so their flying balls are probably not able to find ambush..."
Duoduo is confident.
There were also 4,000 elite cavalry ambushed at the foot of the mountain to the east, distributed on both sides.
Just waiting for the critical moment to rush, the Xia Kingdom's army could not escape even if it had wings.
Dorgon recalled the honors his father had won here. Twenty years ago, the Eight Banners Army had only tens of thousands of troops, but could crush five times his Ming army.
At present, my army is several times more likely to be unexpected than the mountains and forests of Xia State...
Looking at the mountains and forest soldiers outside the city, they suffered a small loss, which did not seem to affect the progress.
The Qing army had a large number of people and could go out of the city to fight, but the mountain forest soldiers took steady steps and maintained a complete formation in every step.
For an army that is completely armed with firepower, positions are the most critical existence.
"Commander Zhao, do you need to advance?"
The adjutant looked at the rear and the team was already far from the river bank.
Two hot air balloons floated in the sky, and there was no danger signal yet.
Gou Sheng seemed to have noticed something strange about the Qing army. He clearly had the advantage in numbers, but he just stepped back.
No matter how provoked the Xia army was, they were unwilling to attack completely, as if they were determined to be disgusting.
"Jiannu is afraid that he is really smart.
The artillery cart will be placed behind the first row of gunmen.
The mortar remains unmoved for the time being, waiting for the Qing army to ambush!"
Gou Sheng carefully looked at the Qing army's positions with a telescope.
The terrain around Sarhu City is high and densely packed with mountains and forests, and it is reasonable to have ambush.
The Xia army soldiers in front received the order, and musketeers lined up to shoot at the Qing army in front.
The Qing army, who were pretending to behave with firearms, saw Xia army lifting its gun and turning around and running away. Those who had no time to escape were easily hit.
The person who was shot rolled on the ground and was soon trampled by the Xia army again.
The two armies seemed to have a very tacit understanding, and primitive troops like the Qing army could also use firearms well.
It was all the way to the trench under the city wall, and the river bank was far away. The Qing army decided not to run away and used artillery to defend the position here.
The eight hundred mountain forest soldiers at the forefront kept fighting back with rifled rifles. Because the Qing army's firearms were of poor quality, the Xia army gained a lot.
But just as the two armies were fighting happily, Dorgon in the city finally rushed out with two thousand elite soldiers and survived several rounds of shooting. When the cavalry of the Savages began to fight back, the cavalry lying on both sides rushed out.
When they were attacked from three sides, the Xia army, who was surrounded by the encirclement, seemed extremely weak.
At this time, the Xia army finally used new weapons and the cannons following the team fired a rapidly-powerful flowering bullet.
When each ammunition explodes, several Qing soldiers can be blown into the sky. In addition, more than a dozen dark cannon cars are not equipped with cannon barrels.
