"Woooooooooooo

The horns of the Qing army sounded in unison, and a bloody atmosphere rippled, and the Eight Banners Army all looked at the position of the Tianwu Army in front of them, and they stirred slightly.

Dodor shouted, "Attack! ”

Nearly 10,000 Qing troops marched forward in dense steps, the sea of people was like a tide, and the earth trembled.

Duoduo sent five armor at one time, including three armor with white flags, together with clothing and followers, to launch fifty shield chariots to attack the Tianwu army.

The battle line of the Tianwu Army was more than 1,000 steps wide horizontally, and it seemed that there were a lot of people, but in fact, about 5,000 infantry were arranged, and the others were all hidden in the trenches, which were covered with dry grass.

Behind the trenches, all the artillery battalions, including the Royal Heavy Artillery Brigade, were also arranged in their respective positions, and hundreds of large and small guns were lined up, each of which was placed directly on the gun carriage, all covered with dry grass.

There were also fifty Thunder chariots, each with two new 128-barreled organ guns.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was fascinated by one eye, and used the Shan Jian telescope given to him by Zhu Cihong to watch the movements of the Qing army opposite.

The Qing army's forty shield carts were also lined up, covering the Qing army, and were slowly advancing towards the position of the Tianwu army, and behind the shield carts, at least fifty rows of Qing troops were followed.

The horizontal spread of the Qing army was about one hundred and fifty meters, and it looked very wide, which was nothing compared to the wide defense line of the Tianwu Army.

"Fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang ......."

A violent salvo, thousands of projectiles shot on the Qing army's shield car, stirring up a burst of sawdust and sand, but it had almost no impact on the Qing army behind the shield car.

The shield car of the Qing army is composed of two layers of wooden planks, two layers of sand, and two layers of quilts, and the shield car is one of the most important equipment of the Qing army in the late Ming Dynasty, and the battle is mainly advanced by the shield car.

Whenever the Qing army encounters a hard bone, it often sacrifices such a thing, as early as the battle of the Hunhe River, "Khan looked at it, and saw that a mile north of the Hunhe River, there were 20,000 infantry, divided into two battalions, and ordered the four banners on the right flank to take cotton armor and carry shield vehicles, and Xu attacked his second battalion." ”

In the battle of the Hunhe River, the Houjin army fought with the white pole soldiers and the Qi family army, and the four banners on the right flank did not wait for the arrival of the "shield car", that is, they attacked, and as a result, the cavalry and infantry were beaten with heavy losses.

After the battle, Nurhachi gave a special order: "If you encounter the enemy without a shield car, do not fight, the Borjin guards have been convicted of not carrying a shield car and fighting in two places!" ”

Later, in the battle of Nurhachi to capture Shenyang, the Eight Banners Army not only used chariots in the siege of the city, but also used a large number of shield chariots in the field battle with Chen Cebu of the Ming army who came to support Shenyang.

The quality of the Ming army's firearms itself was not good, and the shield car defense of the Eight Banners Army was high, and the Ming army was defeated and retreated, and did not dare to fight hard with it.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, they regarded the shield car as a military secret, and erased the chariot that had left strong traces in the Ming and Qing wars as much as possible in the historical books.

For example, in the revised "History of the Ming Dynasty", he tried his best to depreciate the role of the chariot, and put forward the evaluation of the chariot of the Ming Dynasty as "not a single enemy" and "never a war".

There are also books such as "Manchurian Records", in which the records of the use of chariots have also been deleted several times, making it difficult for later generations to discover the records of the use of chariots by the Manchurian army, so as to prevent people from discovering the mysteries.

"Bang! Bang! Bang ......."

The musket array of the Tianwu army continued to fire volleys, and the shield carts of the Qing army continued to advance, seemingly unaffected.

Zhou Yuji said: "Your Highness, let Mao Yuanyi seal the exit!" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, when they come in again, they have to be sealed tightly." ”

Under Zhu Cihong's order, the Tianwu Army's musket array continued to retreat, making the appearance of being defeated and scattered.

Seeing the Ming army rushing from afar, Duoduo laughed out loud and immediately ordered the whole army to follow, cover the past, and drive the Ming army into the lake.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock ......."

When the Qing army completely entered the pocket, the war drums of the Tianwu army beat, and the thick drum sound immediately spread throughout the four fields, shocking people's hearts.

The oncoming musketeers quickly retreated to the trenches by the lake, hid in, covered their ears, and the Tianwu artillerymen lying on the ground quickly got up, adjusted the position of their respective guns, and began to reload their ammunition.

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......."

In the trenches and on the artillery positions, thousands of cannons fired in unison, and nearly 1,000 artillery pieces of various kinds spewed out dazzling tongues of fire at once, which also created the momentum of shaking the mountain.

The artillery on three sides was fired diagonally, and a staggered network of firepower was formed, and the sudden huge roar made many Qing troops stand unsteadily, look at each other, and staggered several steps.

The shield wagons of the Qing soldiers were mainly protected against shotguns from bows and arrows, three-eyed guns, arquebuses, and even small artillery, but they were completely ineffective against guns over three pounds.

Countless shells flew in front and behind the shield carts, and the shield carts were broken one by one, exposing all the Qing troops hidden behind.

Hundreds of large iron balls weighing several pounds rushed into the Qing army's formation with residual energy, only to beat the Qing soldiers on their backs and broken limbs and legs.

At a distance of four or five hundred paces, the Qing army could still feel the huge roar and the trembling of the earth, and Duoduo couldn't help but lose his color.

Such a ferocious artillery bombardment made him grow so old for the first time, and it was also the first time that all Qing troops saw it, even the first time in the Tianwu army.

Duoduo Xin had a strong sense of foreboding in his heart, was this the real firepower of the Tianwu Army? Is it difficult that the Tianwu Army deliberately showed weakness at that time? Deliberately bringing yourself in?

Just as Duoduo gave the order to retreat, Adali panicked: "Prince Yu, there are a large number of Ming troops behind our army, and we are blocked here!" ”

It was only at this time that Duoduo became frightened, it turned out that all this was a ploy of the prince of the Ming Kingdom, and the Tianwu Army had been hiding its strength and luring itself to death, which was really terrifying.

Although they suffered a heavy blow, the quality of the white flag was more than a hundred times stronger than that of the Guanning army, and they still insisted on moving forward, and the generals of the Qing army also knew that after the first round of shelling, there was a relatively long time to reload.

They had to take advantage of this period of time to move forward quickly and enter the dead end of artillery firing, and not even the Han army, Baoyi, and followers dared to retreat.

The Tianwu Army used a fixed package of ammunition, which was very fast to reload, and the gunners were also very skilled, and the second round of shelling was launched quickly.

The speed of artillery loading and firing was fast and slow, but the shelling of hundreds of artillery pieces came and went, causing far less momentum than the first volley artillery bombardment, but it formed a continuous blow to the Qing army.

Hundreds of hot iron balls swept into the Qing army's array, screaming and screaming for a while, the Qing soldiers were in chaos, and they didn't know what to do.

The Qing soldiers hiding behind the shield cart were all dead-faced, dull-eyed, and frightened, and many people were stunned and huddled together, lest they be hit by the shells, because in front of them, the wounded Qing soldiers wailed one after another, which was extremely miserable.

Some of the Qing soldiers fell to the ground, one by one covered in flesh and blood, and one of them, the ugly Qing soldier, was lost in the lower half of his body, and he did not die for a while, only to stop after a few heart-rending wails.

Looking at this scene, Duoduo's face twitched, he pointed to the Ming army's artillery array and gritted his teeth and said, "Han dog!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several more iron bullets flew in, knocking several of his Tartars in the Bayala camp into a bloody and bloody air, and some broken limbs flew around him in the dirt.
