Thundered!

The sound of artillery shook the sky, and the two fleets of the White Dragon Army and the Navy Army, more than 50 warships, and hundreds of large and small artillery guns fired at the shore together, and the movement was really shocking.

And as these explosive bombs and shrapnel fell to the shore and exploded, the Tartars felt fear.

Boom Boom!

Ril, lil!

There were explosions everywhere, and the cannonballs that fell from the sky were like dumplings, and the shells fell to the ground and exploded, frightening the Tartars' horses.

The frightened horses made it difficult for the Tartar cavalry to control, and they became irritable, and many Tartar cavalry were even thrown off their horses and dragged away by the frightened horses.

"Damn, it's the artillery of the Ming army, and it's fallen into Li Zixiao's trap."

At this time, Dorgon watched the explosions that sounded all around him, and the chaos that could be seen everywhere with his cavalry soldiers.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, an explosive bomb landed less than ten meters away from Dolgon, and exploded.

"Ril!"

The sudden explosion frightened Dolgon's horse, but Dolgon subdued him and did not throw him off his horse.

"Withdraw!"

At this time, Dolgon's face was extremely gloomy, and he gave the order to retreat.

It's just that tens of thousands of men and horses were completely thrown into chaos when they were subjected to such a fierce artillery bombardment at this time, and Dorgon's orders were useful to the Tartars around him.

As for the Tartar cavalry further afield, there was no chance of receiving Dolgon's order to retreat.

Fortunately, in this era of warfare, affected by the backwardness of means of communication, the troops of all sides will stare at their own side's banner during the battle.

If the Shuai Qi advances, it will attack, and if the Shuai Qi retreats, it will retreat.

Therefore, even in this chaotic situation, many Tartar cavalry did not receive Dorgon's order to retreat.

However, when the many Tartar generals saw Dolgon's handsome banner slowly retreating, they understood what Dolgon meant.

Therefore, although the two fleets of the White Dragon Army at sea were frantically venting cannonballs on the shore, causing confusion among the Tartar cavalry, it was still impossible to stop the retreat of the Tartars.

It's just that in this case, the retreat in this case, how chaotic and miserable the scene of the Tartar cavalry will be, can be imagined.

Ahhh Ril, lil!

After the explosive bomb landed and exploded, the iron balls, iron pieces and other hard objects that shot out in all directions carried terrifying kinetic energy, which was enough to easily penetrate the armor of the tartar.

Of course, the human area of a Tartar cavalry is far from being comparable to that of a war horse.

Coupled with the body of the Tartar cavalry, it is possible to dodge, so that the proportion of the war horse being hit by four shots of shrapnel is much higher than that of a Tartar soldier.

As a result, in addition to the Tartar soldiers who were hit by shrapnel and let out a miserable cry, more Tartar horses were shot, but they did not die immediately.

These war horses, which were shot but could not die immediately, went completely crazy under the severe pain, and then either threw the Tartar cavalry off their horses, or dragged them all the way, and finally dragged the Tartars to death.

In short, the sudden artillery attack of the White Dragon Army did blind the Tartars.

For a long time, the invincible Tartar elite cavalry outside the pass was very aggrieved to find that they did not even have a chance to fight back in the face of the bombardment of the enemy's artillery fire.

People are at sea, you can't let them ride war horses and rush into the sea to fight the ships of the White Dragon Army!

Therefore, no matter how aggrieved and unwilling Dolgon was in his heart at this time, he could only obediently order a retreat to reduce losses as much as possible.

The screams and the neighing of horses were everywhere, and the narrow peninsula leading to Phi Island was now the burial ground for the Tartar cavalry.

"Azimuth 0123, Angle 15, Fire!"

At this time, on the three-masted gunboat where Li Zixiao was, a naval officer with a clairvoyant mirror shouted loudly to the gunner next to him.

Immediately, the gunner, who quickly adjusted the angle, opened fire again.

Dolgon led the Tartar cavalry and retreated all the way to the north, but found that they did not run out of the range of the artillery of the White Dragon Army's naval warships.

It soon became clear to Dorgon why, and to his great despair, he discovered that the narrow terrain of the small peninsula in which they were now located only allowed them to retreat north.

The narrow terrain from east to west did not give them a chance to retreat eastward, which meant that they could not run out of the artillery range of the White Dragon Army fleet as fast as possible.

They could only retreat north, but when Dolgon led his army north, he was even more desperate to find that the White Dragon Navy's naval fleet could also sail north at sea.

As a result, it was always difficult for them to run out of the range of the White Dragon Army's artillery.

Fortunately, as Dolgon led the people to retreat north, the twelve-pounder and twenty-four-pounder guns on the ordinary warships of the White Dragon Army gradually became out of reach of them.

Only a few thirty-two-pounder guns, and two sixty-four-pounder guns on two three-masted gunboats, had an extremely long firing range and could still hit the Tartars.

At this time, the sea surface was filled with a pungent smell of gunsmoke, and even some blocked people's sight, enveloping this sea area.

And as more and more loud cannons rang out, more smoke rose in the air, and the bombardment continued, and Dolgon's army fled north.

I like to boast about it, and the Tartar elite rider who is known as 'invincible in the field' was taught a good lesson by Li Zixiao this time.

For Dolgon, it was the first time he had seen an artillery bombardment of this magnitude, and artillery would not be one of the nemesis of cavalry.

Before arriving in advance, Dorgon had no idea that things would come to this point.

Li Zixiao's tactical style of play directly gave him a stunned punch as soon as he came up, which really stunned him.

However, as the Tartar cavalry led by Dolgon withdrew further and further north, the distance between east and west of the small peninsula became wider and wider, and more obstacles appeared on it.

Soon, Dolgon and them could not find the general location of Dolgon's cavalry on the warship, and the gunners of the White Dragon Army could only continue to fire according to their guesses.

After Dolgon withdrew more than ten miles north with 10,000 Tartar cavalry, no more explosive bombs fell on their heads.

Dorgon's life was great, and he was stunned not to be hurt when he withdrew all the way, except for the explosive bomb at the beginning, which landed a few meters away from him and posed a little threat to him.

The rest of the way, no more shells fell on him.

Of course, there is a big reason why he took the initiative to separate from his handsome banner.

And he sent a few guards to protect his handsome banner to retreat north, guiding the way for tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry, and naturally he was taken care of by the gunners of the White Dragon Army.

Along the way, the place where Dolgon's banner was located was also the place where the gunners of the White Dragon Army focused on it, and the shells had always been the most dense.

Withdrawn all the way, only six of his dozens of personal guards were still alive in the end.

But in the end, Dolgon still took the Tartar cavalry and withdrew safely, after all, Li Zixiao's warship was the same as Dolgon's cavalry, Dolgon could not go to sea, he could not land.

Although Li Zixiao could rely on the sharpness of the artillery in his hand at this time and teach Dolgon a hard lesson, he could not completely annihilate it.

"The result of this battle is far beyond my expectations, I don't know how many Tartars can be killed with so many shells, but it should be worth it.

Lu Yuan, pass the order, let's sail back to Phi Island, only our bombing, Dolgon has no chance to chase us again. ”

Li Zixiao saw that this operation had basically been carried out to such an extent, and it should be over, so he ordered Lu Yuan.

At this time, Dolgon had just led his troops into Iron Mountain City, and this Korean city had just been occupied by them.

Thankfully, there was a city where Dolgon could lead the Tartar cavalry to rest, but this time they were too embarrassed.

This time, not only the aura of 'Tartar Field Invincible' was shattered.

Even the previous boast, the so-called 'Tartars are less than 10,000, full of 10,000 invincible', this time it can be regarded as a complete joke.

The 10,000 Tartar horsemen did not even touch the enemy's face this time, and they lost more than 700 people and countless wounded.

In this way, without even touching the enemy, it was a heavy defeat, and it was definitely the first time that the Tartars had raised troops from the wild boar Pinurhachi to the succession of Huang Taiji in the past few decades.

"Li Zixiao!"

At this time, Huang Taiji was making a chair, stretching out his right arm and asking a doctor to treat the wound on his right arm.

He was still hit by a shrapnel in his right arm, cutting a hole that was several miles long, and the doctor was treating his wound at this time, and there was a sharp pain in his arm.

But Dolgon didn't seem to feel it at all, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and muttered Li Zixiao's name.

This time, Dorgon was deeply aware of the humiliation suffered by his own brother Dordor a few years earlier.

How could a proud man like Dorgon tolerate such a fiasco, and that he and his own brother were all planted in the hands of one person, a general.

Even, after Dolgon goes back this time, it is estimated that he will be punished by Huang Taiji.

What made Dolgon even more unbearable was that he would probably suffer the cynicism of his rivals who did not agree with him when he went back this time.

He will become a laughing stock, and the invincible image he has built up in the past will also collapse.

Li Zixiao's shelling not only shattered the invincible aura of the Tartar Spirit Cavalry, but also shattered Dorgon's title of 'Undefeated God of War'.

In the first battle of Songjin, although he made a meritorious service, but after this attack, he was afraid that he would not want to return to Shengjing, and he would still receive any reward.

This time, nearly half of the 10,000 Tartar elite horsemen he brought were his descendants of the White Flag.

And Li Zixiao's shelling caused them more than 700 casualties, more than half of which were his bannermen.

These more than 700 people are either dead or seriously injured, and they will not be able to continue to serve as cavalrymen in the future.

These are the elite of Dorgon, his most loyal subordinates, and the greatest guarantee that he has always maintained a high status among the Tartars.

You know, too, among the Tartars, there is a serious struggle for power, especially the direct and special relationship between Huang Taiji and Dolgon.

If Dorgon and Duoduo were not holding the power of the Eight Banners of Tartar and the two white flags in their hands, it was estimated that there would be a grudge between him and Huang Taiji.

Not to mention being named a prince by Dolgon, it is estimated that Huang Taiji will find a way to kill him a long time ago.

As for Dolgon's talent, it will never be a reason for the emperor not to start, and the king's house is the most ruthless.

Huang Taiji has always wanted to weaken the strength of his and Duoduo's subordinates, the white flag and the inlaid white flag, and this time Li Zixiao can be regarded as helping Huang Taiji.

You must know that even if Dolgon led his troops to fight with the Ming army in Songjin before, before and after, he only lost less than 500 banners.

The loss of the entire Eight Banners of the Tartars did not exceed 2,500 people, and the banners here refer to the pure Eight Banners of the Tartars, excluding the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

In the Battle of Songjin, the Tartars also lost tens of thousands of people, after all, the Ming army commanded by Hong Chengchou in the early stage fought very well.

Among the more than 10,000 people who lost, only 20% of the Tartar Eight Banners were the Bannermen, and the rest of the dead were the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, among which the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were the mainstay.

Dolgon lost less than 500 people in Songjin, and as soon as he led the army here this time, he was directly killed by Li Zixiao more than 700 people.

Therefore, at this time, Dolgon can be regarded as hating Li Zixiao to the bone, and Li Zixiao can also be regarded as the nemesis in the lives of the two brothers Dolgon and Duoduo!

The two brothers both fell in the hands of Li Zixiao, and they were disgraced, but they were helpless to take Li Zixiao.

Just when Dolgon returned to Tieshan Village with tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry with a disgraced face and low morale, silently licking his wounds, Li Zixiao had already led people back to Phi Island.

On the way back to Phi Dao, the sailors who had just experienced all this could not help but get together and excitedly exchange ideas about the battle.

"Haha, the pain of this battle, the general's shot, it's just different."

"Yes, our general has made the Tartar pit this time, and this time the main general of the Tartar should cry when he goes back.

It is estimated that if the Tartars have a long memory, they will see the name of our 'White Snake Army' in the future, and it is best to take a detour, otherwise this will be the end! ”

"Didn't you see that the cannon that Lao Tzu, the chamber was red in the end, but I fired more than 20 shells."

"Cut, what are you, what is the caliber of the gun you operate, you are not in the bow of the ship, the big guy in the bow of the ship, you all know it!

I was standing in the back, and every time the big guy fired a cannon, my ears buzzed, and the whole ship was shaking. ”

"Yes, that cannon is sixty-four pounds, and only a three-masted gunboat like ours can carry one, and every time the cannon is fired, it is like thunder."

"Hey, it's a pity, the general ordered before that all the shells brought this time should be fired, and I still have a few left."

A White Dragon Army naval gunner said regretfully.

At this time, in the command room of the three-masted gunboat, Li Zixiao and Lu Yuan were inside.

The result of this battle made Li Zixiao very satisfied.

Although in the end, Li Zixiao didn't know how many Tartars were killed when the two fleets of the Navy attacked this time and set up such a trap for the Tartars.

But Li Zixiao believes that the final number will definitely not be small, which is enough to make Huang Taiji feel distressed for a while.
