Chapter 315: Crossing the River

The Qing army entrenched in the mountains and forests naturally had no shortage of wood, not to mention that it was still a war in front of its own doors.

The Qing army had planned to build these huge shield cars for a long time, and Huang Taiji personally took pictures of them, waiting to be used during field battles with the Xia army.

It is not easy to get tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers to use the retreat tactic, but at least it still has the effect. The Tianwu Army has never seen such a formation in many wars.

It would be fine if most of the cavalry came over. They could jump around the shield chariot formation, but the Qing army saw that the Tianwu Army would not launch cavalry easily.

Besides, it is still the Battle of Crossing the River. After the Tianwu Army came, it was necessary to open the way with muskets, but now this shield car is blocking it, and even the mortar in its hand is not good.

"Don't retreat, wait for the artillery troops from the rear to come!"

The vanguard regiment commander kept giving orders, knowing that most of the Qing troops were following behind the shield car.

If you retreat this time, you may be chased by most people and you may be able to go directly to the other side.

"The Qing army's shield chariot was slow, and it would take a long time to come..."

Some people also discovered the disadvantages of the Qing army's shield chariot. No matter how thick the wooden board is, the number of Qing soldiers who can cover it is still limited.

When the Eight Banners soldiers rushed into the battle, Zhou Zheng's artillery fire was almost delivered, and he could barely match it.

When the war between the two armies often tests the soldiers' psychological quality. Only by stabilizing the morale of the army at critical moments can you have subsequent possibilities.

Fortunately, the Tianwu Army has excellent psychological quality after modern army training.

The soldiers knew their current situation, understood what to do, and each stood up to shoot at the Qing army approaching ahead.

Behind the shield car, the Qing soldiers who couldn't help but poke out their foreheads would easily end up with a headshot.

......

"The emperor is indeed a god-like war!"

On the earth slope east of the Liao River, Yue Tuo rode on the back of a horse, holding a thousand-mile mirror in his hand and looked into the distance.

Judging from the current situation, the Qing army may have a chance to win a small victory.

The generals on the side also sighed at the huge shield car in front of them. With such equipment, the Xia army could not advance in an instant, and there was a river behind them...

"The Prince Yuetuo, but there is still something unknown to the last general. Since the shield cart is effective, why are most of the people still here..."

Jiang Zuo pointed to the earth slope at his feet. It was three or five miles away from the Liao River. It is said that the Qing army is now stretching for several miles.

However, when he was about to face a great enemy, Yue Tuo's main force stayed in the rear. If he did not approach at this time, the large number of Tianwu Army troops in the rear would be in danger of rushing to cross.

Yue Tuo lowered his head and suddenly said silently:

"Daji thinks he can win this battle?"

Yue Tuo's tone was mysterious and he couldn't hear anything.

The former general named Daji was originally a confidant of Yuetuo, but I can't think of any more truths at present.

Daji could only scratch his head: "Didn't the prince just say that the emperor is using troops like a god?"

Daji was very confused.

Yue Tuo pointed ahead and said, "There are only three thousand Tianwu Army on the bank of the river. They killed these three thousand people, and there are still 17,000 people behind them.

The Xia army is well-equipped, and it is no problem to fight ten..."

Yue Tuo's eyes were still cautious. This time he was representing the emperor in person. This time the position of coach was originally from Huang Taiji.

"But the emperor is in good health and may die at any time."

Yue Tuo whispered again.

Huang Taiji was ill, and many of Dorgon's actions were even more blatant, and most of the ministers in the court were optimistic about Dorgon.

So the more this happens, the less the troops in Yuetuo's hands are consumed. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty are almost dead, and who among the kings and Beile still has the heart to fight to the death?

When he was away, he could not go back after the war and the emperor became his own brother.

The Dhaji Dun was gradually enlightened in his eyes.

If Dorgon and his master came to choose, Daji would definitely feel that Yue Tuo would be better matched with the throne.

Thinking that his master is likely to be the emperor in the future, Daji's breathing becomes rapid several times...

"Prince, then let Du Du go to die. This guy has a good relationship with Dorgon!"

Daji looked around and whispered.

"Stop talking! The country is in danger, and those who say this will die!"

Yue Tuo suddenly scolded, unable to see what he was thinking in his heart.

Daji grinned, but he shouldn't change his longing and stopped talking.

Look at the edge of the Liao River again.

The troops led by the Du Du Banner Lord had already fought with the Xia army's vanguard. The Qing army behind the shield cart came out, and the arrows were constantly being shot, and there were also the bird gunners with a fuse...

The soldiers and horses inlaid with white flags continued to rush forward, and the Xia army used grenades and rifled rifles to resist. However, the Tianwu army's current uniforms and armor were thin and the shields were insufficient. If they retreated, they had already reached the river bank.

Du Du held up a long sword and shouted, and threw most of the armored soldiers to charge. But at this time, twenty artillery pieces from the river bank were sent to him, and the shells flew over the Tianwu Army to bomb the Qing army.

A blood mist splashed...

"Shield car, push the shield car up!"

Du Du shouted loudly, and at the same time put a flag to Yue Tou in the rear.

After the Inlaid White Flag in front of him launched a signal for help, Yue Tuo did not sit idly by.

He took the lead in carrying his army down the earth slope.

At this time, the cannons that had just been sent to the shore were still stained with mud, and the wheel hub of the cannon truck was deeply trapped in the mud on the river bank. With each gun fire, the cannon truck fell to a higher layer.

"Left, 65 degrees, launch!"

Zhou Zheng personally led the artillery vanguard to cross the river. The gunners kept adjusting the angle, and the Qing army shield van in front advanced forward.

"Hide behind the shield car and defend against artillery!"

Du Du issued an order, and the Qing army returned to its previous huddle, waiting for the most part to crush after this round of artillery fire.

"Push the shield car forward, and the cannon is not afraid!"

Du Du seemed to have found the best defensive rhythm, but suddenly a huge force came, and the shells hit the shield car and exploded. The soldiers who pushed the shield car were shaken away several people, and their hands completely lost consciousness...

.

Immediately afterwards, several flowering bullets fell from the sky. It was the Xia army artillery on the other side of the river, which actually hit the Qing army's formation across the Liao River.

Large swaths of fire ignited, and some shield cars stopped and climbed out of Jiannu, who was covered in flames.

Du Du heard a loud noise in front of him, and the second shell hit the shield car, and a corner of the shield car collapsed, and the wooden board in front was shaking...

These shield cars are huge, but they are also living targets.

The Tianwu Army in front stabilized its position again and shot and killed the Qing army fleeing from all directions on the last position.

Du Du looked forward and saw that the second group of Xia army was about to cross the river, and the Yuetuo reinforcements behind him gradually slowed down...

"The useless Yue Tuo, just like the Ming army, is afraid of death!"

Du Du cursed angrily, but he still knew that this battle could not be fought again.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

The vanguard army of the inlaid white flag fled quickly, leaving only one corpse. In the evening, the two sides of the Liao River were all taken down by the Tianwu Army.
