410 [Kill the miscellaneous soldiers first] (for the penguin boss
After Huang Taiji's restructuring, the elite troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were as follows -
Baya La Camp: A Niulu (300 households) selects the 17 strongest warriors as Baya La soldiers.
Aliha Chaoha camp: the Manchu Qing cavalry.
Garbush Xianying Camp: The elite selected from the Baya La soldiers are the forward troops on the two wings.
Wuzhenhachao Camp: There are Han Army Flag Firearms Troops and Han Army Flag Heavy Armor Infantry Battalion.
There is also a special unit called "Servants", which are the slaves who fight with the Eight Banners soldiers. The main functions are: assisting in robbery, taking care of property, escorting prisoners, and temporarily serving as civilian husbands and cannon fodder.
Duduo came to Shandong to fight this time, and his troops were mainly with white flags, but the source of the troops was a bit confusing.
Since Dorgon had taken away fifteen Niulu, Duduo's direct troops became very small. But he couldn't just bring that few people to the battlefield, so he threw some generals from other banners to cooperate.
Dorgon felt that Shandong was unstable, so he threw Zu Zeyuan, the deputy commander of the Han army with a white flag, over.
Zu Zeyuan was Zu Dashou's subordinate, and he set out a little late. At this time, he had just arrived in Jining with his troops, and he and Hong Chengchou confronted Fei Ruhe.
In addition, in addition to the Eight Banners Army and the surrendered generals of the Ming Dynasty, Duduo also had 1,500 Korean gunmen under his command.
These fire soldiers were the personal soldiers of the Korean king. They were often recruited by the Manchus to fight in the Qing Dynasty, and then they were not returned at all.
At this moment, the artillery unit under Geng Zhongming was pulled out to bombard the civilians of the Datong Army. However, only two cannons were like this, and the rest of the artillery continued to advance. On the way forward, one was blown away, and the remaining ones fought against the artillery of the Datong Army.
shoot.
The carriages advanced slowly one after another, followed closely by Li Shutai, Geng Zhongming's Han Army Banner heavy armored infantry, and Duduo's Garbushxian Battalion.
Duduo personally led 1,500 Baya soldiers and advanced together as the central army.
As for the surrendered generals and Korean artillery soldiers, they slowly advanced, and under the cover of the cavalry of the Garbush Hsien Battalion, they circled the flanks of the Datong Army and attracted the artillery of the Datong Army.
Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty attached great importance to artillery, Geng Zhongming really didn't have many artillery in his hands.
Some of them were taken away by Dorgon and taken to Henan to fight. Now there are only ten artillery pieces, two of which are Fran cannons.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The artillery of both sides exchanged fire, and the Datong Army's artillery had a total of twenty-five.
After a round of firing, one of the Manchu and Qing artillery pieces was damaged again, while only a few artillerymen from the Datong Army died.
"Speed up!" Duduo quickly ordered.
The opposite side is really too luxurious, with only ten thousand troops, but so many artillery.
When the Ming army fought in the field, they usually used Huzun cannons, Folang machine guns, and Hongyi cannons that were set up to defend the city. The Manchu and Qing armies rarely encountered this situation. The Datong army actually brought twenty-five red Yi cannons.
Fighting in the field.
Well...the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty called all front-loading cannons Hongyi cannons.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Another round of artillery bombardment, one Manchu and Qing artillery was smashed again, and four more artillery shells fell into the Manchu and Qing infantry formations.
"Bang!"
One of the shells hit the carriage hard.
Even though it was wrapped in cowhide and iron sheets, one corner of the cart was still damaged. The solid iron bullet used the remaining power to jump two feet into the sky, and then fell down and hit an unlucky Garbushexian elite soldier.
As for the carriage, at first glance, only one corner was broken, but the side pillar on the same side was broken.
After being pushed forward a few steps, the entire wooden shield tilted backwards, with the cowhide and iron pieces dragging along and not completely falling. One of the shooting positions on the carriage was lost, and the number of infantry that could cover it was reduced by one-third.
The civilians of the Datong Army have all retreated, leaving only the artillery in front of the formation to attack.
A cannonball flew and hit three Datong Army artillerymen, killing two and injuring one. The injured one lost his right leg.
However, the Manchu and Qing artillery battalions suffered even greater losses.
Not only were four artillery pieces hit this time, but Lu Zhineng, the Ming "Guan Hongyi Cannon Officer" who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Geng Zhongming, was also hit by the Datong Army's artillery shells.
Lu Zhineng was commanding and adjusting the muzzle, when an iron bullet roared in. His whole head was like a smashed watermelon, and in an instant only the neck was left standing.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Facing the terrifying firepower, one's own artillery commander died again. The Manchu and Qing artillery collapsed directly, abandoned the artillery position and fled.
"Bang!"
Another truck was hit, this time hitting the center.
It was wrapped in cowhide and iron sheets to release the force. The wooden shield was not directly shattered, but the wooden beams below were broken. Not only was the carriage scrapped, it also fell down and hit two fire cannon soldiers.
After defeating the enemy's artillery battalion, the Datong artillery troops specifically targeted the carriages.
Unfortunately, the hit rate of the front-loaded smoothbore cannon was impressive. After a long time of bombardment, only eight carriages were damaged. Two of them were only partially damaged and could continue to cover the advance of the infantry.
Fortunately, the advancing speed of the carriage was slow, and the Datong artillery had enough time to fire again.
Ild led the Manchu Qing cavalry, separated from the troops who surrendered their troops and generals, and went around the flank of the Datong Army - General Zuo Liangyu who surrendered to the Datong Army.
Ma Wannian followed suit and led his dragoons around the opponent's Zuo Liangyu general.
There were also a thousand Korean gunmen here, walking cautiously in the middle. Just as they were about to stop and take aim, Ma Wannian had already passed by with his dragoons and stopped near the troops of General Jin Shenghuan.
Jin Shenghuan’s army has no long-range troops!
At a distance of about forty steps, 2,500 dragoons fired in three rounds to avoid saturation of firepower in one salvo.
Jin Shenghuan was a rogue bandit. Historically, he surrendered first to the Ming Dynasty and then to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Because he could not be granted a title for his meritorious service, and he was extorted money from the governor and chief envoy, he actually jumped ship again and killed the Jiangxi governor, inspector, and chief envoy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
He 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 Lingchi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
This old man was in a miserable state at this time. He had followed Zuo Liangyu for four years. Only his old thieves were wearing armor, and the rest of the newly recruited soldiers were not even fully equipped with leather armor.
After being hit by three consecutive fire cannons, Jin Shenghuan's troops immediately collapsed.
Ma Wannian led the dragoons to distance themselves, dismounted again to reload ammunition, and then rushed forward again to aim and shoot.
This time, the troops directed at Hao Zhongzhong were thrown into confusion by Jin Shenghuan's rout. Three minutes had passed and they still hadn't formed their formation, and there were still some rout soldiers inside who were pushing and shoving.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Although Hao Zhongzhong had archers, the formation was chaotic and he could not form a formation to shoot.
After a three-attack attack, Hao Zhongzhong's troops did not collapse, but became more chaotic.
"kill!"
Ma Wannian put out the match rope, hung up the musket, drew his sword, and led his troops to kill the enemy.
"Team up, team up!"
Hao Xiaozhong shouted, but no one listened to him.
Among Zuo Liangyu's generals who followed Duduo on the expedition, only Li Guoying could barely be considered elite, and the rest were all a bunch of rabble.
They had already expanded their army too quickly, gathered surrendered troops, and formed an army of refugees. Then there was a serious epidemic in Shandong, and they did not dare to gather for training. Moreover, they were in short supply of food, and they were hungry and hungry. What kind of combat effectiveness could this have?
Ma Wannian, worthy of being the grandson of Qin Liangyu, led the dragon cavalry to charge towards them. He took the lead and killed several enemies in a row. Hao Zhongzhong's troops also collapsed.
Hao Xiaozhong panicked, hit his horse and ran away, but Ma Wannian came quickly and killed him with a knife.
The flight of these two troops drove the friendly troops to pieces.
Those Korean gunmen also collapsed in confusion, leaving only Li Guoying's troops in a chaotic formation, moving closer to the main formation of the Qing Dynasty.
Ma Wannian did not pursue Li Guoying, but continued to pursue the defeated soldiers. He wanted to completely kill the defeated soldiers.
Ild's side was almost the same. He rushed to the formation of Zuo Liangyu's general and threw random shots into the crowd. He rushed and shot, then left immediately, and then rushed and shot again.
After only three rounds of attacks, Han Shixiao's troops who surrendered to the Datong Army were defeated.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ding and Song Yun also collapsed.
Neither Zhang Tieniu nor Duo Duo dared to keep the surrendered generals under Zuo Liangyu's command. Because they were too bad, both sides agreed to kill the surrendered generals on the opposite side first.
Duduo was luckier, at least one of his subordinates, Li Guoying, was still alive.
After each of them chased down the defeated troops, Ma Wannian lit the match rope again and circled to the rear of the main Manchu force.
Ild did the same thing, moving around to the rear of the Datong Army's position.
The cavalry on both sides could not do anything to each other, and simply ignored each other. They seemed to have great confidence in the friendly infantry, letting the infantry handle the cavalry harassment while they harassed the other side's infantry.
By this time, 21 Manchu and Qing carriages had been destroyed by artillery, and more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers had been killed by artillery.
The distance between the two sides is still about sixty steps.
Ma Wannian and Yild each circled around the opponent's infantry, but neither could find a chance to strike.
The rate of the Eight Banners soldiers wearing armor is 100%, and even the archers are wearing cotton armor. The dragoons are of no use shooting from a distance, and if they get close, they will be fired back by the enemy archers.
All members of the Datong Army also wore armor, and were protected by rattan players. The bamboo helmets with iron plates on their heads could also effectively defend against bows and arrows. Ild's intimidating charges and horseback projectiles felt like they were all in vain.
Of course, Ma Wannian's harassment also had some effect, that is, it slowed down the advance of some Eight Banners soldiers.
"Bang!"
Four more carriages were destroyed, and several artillery shells rolled into the Eight Banners formation.
Duduo issued an order for the troops whose carriages were destroyed to speed up and launch an attack.
The Manchu and Qing archers and gunmen in armor began to fire volleys at about forty paces. The sword and shield soldiers of the Datong Army stepped forward to cover the artillery so that the artillery could continue to fire.
Zhang Tieniu did not wait for twenty steps to fire, and ordered the fire rifle soldiers to come forward and fire a wave of three bursts first.
We cannot be dogmatic in fighting. In this situation, there is no room for shooting at twenty paces.
The two sides were forty steps apart, so whether they could hit or not was purely a matter of chance. Even if they hit, they might not be able to penetrate the cotton armor. Anyway, they would just shoot each other for fun.
"Peng!"
The distance between them became closer and closer, and the artillery fire became more and more accurate. This time, five carriages were destroyed at once.
Duduo issued an order again, placing the troops at the front who had not yet destroyed the cart. The rest of the Eight Banners soldiers all squeezed behind the cart. All the archers hid behind the cart and fired. This distance was enough to kill the enemy.
The last round of artillery fire directly destroyed eight carriages. The Datong Army's military formation moved forward to protect the artillery position, and the gunmen also retreated to be protected by sword and shield men.
Zhang Tieniu and Duoduo were both a little nervous, because in this series of formation changes, each other was very orderly, and they were definitely the most powerful rivals in their lives.
