Chapter 467: Under the Seat of Dongguang County (2)
In a moment, the artillery battalion of the Ming army and the artillery battalion of the Qing army began a fierce artillery battle.
"Boom Boom"
The Ming artillery battalion fiercely bombarded the eastern slope where the Qing artillery was located, and in turn, the Qing artillery also bombarded the position of the Ming artillery battalion.
"Ah" many Ming artillery pieces were destroyed, and the gunners who operated the cannons were killed.
Ji Feng's face was gloomy, when had the Yinglong Army Artillery Battalion encountered such a thing, and it was so much lost by the Qing army's artillery.
"Fight back! Fight back! Ji Feng yelled.
"Boom Boom"
In the end, there are more artillery cannons of the Ming army, and they are more sophisticated, especially the fifty new cannons of the first army of the Yinglong army, the loading speed is extremely fast, and the power of the cannonballs is greater than that of the Shenwu field artillery, plus the hundreds of cannons of the Seventh Army, all of a sudden the Qing army artillery on the eastern slope of the mountain down.
On that inconspicuous high slope, although he saw that his cannon had suffered heavy losses, Dorgon was equally unmoved, and he had an even more powerful backhand.
"Order, let the army in Dongguang County also prepare to attack!"
In Dongguang County, it is the back hand of Dolgon.
If someone pays attention, they can see that there are people surging on the city wall of Dongguang County, and there is obviously a big movement.
After a while, fifty imitation Shenwu field cannons were pushed up the city wall of Dongguang County, and the muzzles of the black hole were aimed at the Ming army artillery camp under the city.
"Not good! Qing army artillery! "When someone in the Ming army found the cannon muzzle on the wall of Dongguang County and shouted out, it was obviously too late.
"Fire!" The Qing generals gave a loud order.
"Boom Boom"
Another surprise attack, fifty shells exploded in the Ming artillery camp, and several Ming artillery pieces were destroyed in an instant, including a new 90-millimeter cannon of the First Army of the Yinglong Army.
Ji Feng's heart was dripping blood, and with the attack on the eastern hillside just now, the First Army had already lost no less than seven new cannons.
Chang Shunhou's heart was also dripping blood, and the Shenwu field artillery of the Seventh Army also lost more than a dozen pieces.
The artillery of the Qing army attacked from both sides, and the Ming army was taken by surprise.
"Order, the First Army will transfer thirty new-style cannons to fight back at the Qing army artillery in Dongguang County!" Ji Feng ordered.
The artillery battalions of the First Army and the Seventh Army had to face not only the Qing artillery on the eastern hillside, but also the Qing artillery on the Dongguang County, and they could only turn part of it, but Ji Feng believed that the thirty new cannons could completely suppress and gradually destroy the fifty Qing artillery cannons in Dongguang County.
The inconspicuous slope, Dorgon smiled.
"The artillery of the Ming army has been all pinned, and the Iron Shield Army has been ordered to attack!"
The Iron Shield Army was prepared by Dolgon in order to deal with the dense muskets of the Ming army, equipped with a large iron shield with a height of one meter and a half, a width of more than fifty centimeters, and a weight of hundreds of pounds, all of which were composed of strong men, which could allow the Qing soldiers to hide behind the iron shield and slowly approach the Ming army.
Dolgon believed that as long as the Qing soldiers could rush into the Ming army and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army, only 40,000 Ming troops would definitely face more than 200,000 Qing army horses, and there would be absolutely only one way to wipe out.
At the front of the battlefield, Tuo Yue, who was inlaid with red flags, commanded here.
"Qi Qi Belle Ye, the regent has an order, and the Iron Shield Army will attack!" A herald conveyed Dorgon's orders to Toyue.
Tuo Yue nodded and waved his hand.
After a while, rows of Iron Shield Army soldiers appeared holding Iron Shield Army with a hideous tiger head pattern painted on the shield surface, and slowly approached the direction of the battlefield.
At this time, Tuo Yue also smiled, the Ming army's artillery was pinned down by the Qing artillery on the eastern slope and Dongguang County, and it was impossible to bombard the Iron Shield Army, unless the Ming army was willing to risk the artillery camp being bombarded by the Qing artillery fire and not returning fire, and adjusted the muzzle of the cannon again to bombard the Iron Shield Army, but he thought that the Ming army would not necessarily be like this!
"What's that?" The corners of Ji Feng and Chang Shun's eyes jumped slightly, watching rows of large iron shields appear two hundred meters away, and slowly approached.
"Bang bang bang" Ying Longjun shot at those iron shields.
Since the new gun uses bullets and has an effective range of more than 200 meters, it can already get the Qing army's iron shield soldiers 200 meters away.
"Dangdangdang" saw the bullet hit the iron shield, and only a large number of sparks were splashed, but the iron shield was still advancing.
When the Iron Shield was a hundred meters away from the army, the flintlock pistols of the Seventh Army also fired, again only hitting a large number of sparks.
"The Qing army must be hiding behind the iron shield and slowly approaching!" Chang Shun said.
Ji Feng nodded: "There is no doubt that the Qing army has premeditated, and I am afraid that they want to annihilate our vanguard army." ”
Now that the artillery battalion is pinned, before destroying all the Qing artillery, it can only engage in artillery battles with the Qing army, and it will not be able to support the battlefield in a short time.
Chang Shunhou frowned: "The Qing army dares to have such an idea, is it possible that they don't know that we are only less than an hour away from the main army, what confidence can they have that they can completely annihilate the 40,000 troops of our First Army and the Seventh Army in such a short period of time?" ”
Chang Shunhou has doubts, and Ji Feng also has doubts.
"Maybe the Qing army has other arrangements to block the advance of the main army, and it is not necessary to delay a little longer." Ji Feng thought for a while and said, although he smiled sarcastically: "It's a pity, I'm afraid that the Qing army is about to miscalculate, even if the main army doesn't come, our first army and seventh army are not so easy to eat!" ”
"Summons, bring out the grenades that belong to our army!" Because the grenade has only been developed for less than a month, the output is not high, so only the Ying Long Army has a subordination, and the Seventh Army after Xiang Changshun has not yet done so.
More than a dozen large wooden boxes were carried out, and when opened, they were filled with wooden-handled iron-clad grenades made of new gunpowder.
Chang Shunhou looked envious, this is undoubtedly a new weapon of the Firearms Bureau, the treatment of Ying Longjun is really good, Chang Shunhou is more and more determined to take the Seventh Army to perform well, make great contributions, and apply to the emperor to reorganize the Seventh Army into Ying Longjun.
As the Qing army's iron shield soldiers approached, thirty meters!
"Grenades, still!" The soldiers of the Yinglong Army pulled the fuse of the grenade and threw the grenade emitting a trace of white smoke into the back of the iron shield of the Qing army.
Suddenly, there was an explosion, and under the firelight, the corpses of countless Qing soldiers were swept out by the air waves, and the iron shield that had lost the control of the strong man fell to the ground with a bang, exposing the Qing soldiers behind.
"Fire!"
"Bang bang bang" Ying Long soldiers took the opportunity to open fire.
Immediately, a large number of exposed Qing soldiers were killed and wounded, and they fell in pieces, crying for their fathers and mothers, and fled backwards.
In the other two directions, the Seventh Army was also supported by grenades from the Ying Long Army, and the Qing Iron Shield Army, which was close to the Qing Army, cried and shouted for their mothers and fled backwards.
On that inconspicuous high slope, seeing the scene of the defeat of the Iron Shield Army, Dolgon's face turned blue with anger.
"I can't imagine that the Ming army still hides such a means, hateful!"
