1042 Temptation
The officers around Liu Pei were relieved when they heard Liu Pei’s order. At this time, no matter what orders they had, as long as they had the order, it would be the best.
Although the smart minds had already understood the meaning of Liu Pei's firing, hope appeared in his eyes. Although those officers who did not understand Liu Pei's meaning were gritted, they did not resent towards Liu Pei.
Because they also knew that these people must be isolated from the position. Once they were allowed to rush into the square, they were afraid that there would be only a few people left outside.
Liu Pei squeezed out a sentence from the gap between his teeth in the eyes of everyone and said, "I hope it can scare Dorgon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cannons roared on the village wall. Ten solid bullets were fired out!
Pidao roared and smashed into the crowd in the distance. Some shells hit the crowd directly, and the people who were hit by the shells were instantly crushed to pieces, without any pain! But the people behind him left a series of broken limbs and broken arms!
Some shells fell before the crowd, jumped and jumped into the crowd on the ground, breaking a large area of people's legs! For a moment, blood splattered, and screams came one after another!
Not only the people were hit by Pidao, but even the Qing soldiers who were mixed in the crowd were affected. A Qing soldier was swept through his knees by shells, directly taking half of his legs away! He pinched his thighs with his hands and howled desperately!
Dorgon, who was watching the battle, was suddenly startled by the flesh and blood scene in front of him! Before he could react, he was busy evaluating the power of the artillery. The artillery on the opposite village wall fired the second round, followed by the third round! Especially the third round of artillery is more accurate! He killed and injured a large number of people!
Dorgon, who had been observing the battlefield situation behind, was startled by the results of these three rounds of artillery. He couldn't help but whisper: "I didn't expect that he was still a cruel person!"
After saying that, Dorgon said loudly: "Okay, bring people back, they don't need to test them!"
As the sound of the trumpet sounded, the 10,000 people who were ready to rush back slowly. The uneasy Qing soldiers who were hit by the shell drove the people back to the camp like amnesty.
Liu Pei on the village wall slaps the village wall
, shouted happily: "Scared Dorgon, this bastard!"
At this time, the officers around suddenly realized and understood what Liu Pei said just now.
You should know that under no circumstances will the army not allow the people and the defeated soldiers to approach the army formation. Even if they are killed, they cannot be allowed to get close to them! Therefore, the act of bombarding the people is actually to save them!
In fact, this is a kind of intimidation practice. The purpose is to tell Dorgon that I am not afraid of you using the people to rush forward. At worst, I can kill them all! Moreover, although shells can kill some people, they are much less than those who will massacre them after letting the people get close to them!
The most important thing is that the lethality of solid shells is far less than its terrifying momentum! The actual lethality is much smaller than the scattered fire of the flowering bullet and the musket! If Dorgon can be scared away at the minimum price and save most people's lives, it is worth paying some price!
The officers who had figured it out congratulated Liu Pei one after another. But Liu Pei said with a serious expression: "Okay, let's talk about the congratulations later. Now we have to face real troublesome things! Now the real time for combat! First, withdraw the people outside, and send 10,000 people out after lunch to see how Dorgon dealt with it?"
In this way, both sides stopped fighting at noon tacitly and repaired themselves. Because both sides knew that the two battles just now were just temptations.
Just after noon, both sides sent people to the camp at the same time. Liu Pei sent another 10,000 people this time, and arranged them into two square formations.
However, the morale of the soldiers this time was different! At this time, they had already learned that in the morning, their 10,000 brothers repelled the enemy's two attacks! Now it was finally their turn to fight! Then they must make military achievements that are no less than their companions! So the young men were ready to make new contributions!
The Qing army also decided to fight seriously. However, this time Dorgon did not send everyone out, but sent 40,000 people outside.
This time Dorgon led a total of 80,000 people to attack the Ming Dynasty. He left 20,000 people in Hebei as a guard for the retreat, and all the other 60,000 people were brought to Shandong by him.
With him having double the advantage over Liu Pei in terms of military strength!
What Liu Pei didn't know was that just when everyone was having lunch, a small-scale dispute broke out in the German coach's tent!
One faction was led by Duoduo, and advocated a fierce attack with all his might, hoping to completely defeat Liu Pei with 60,000 people! The other faction was led by Yue Tuo, and advocated not to act recklessly. Anyway, attacking Ming was not a matter of a moment, and we should give up Jinan to plunder the surrounding areas!
In the end, the two sides had a quarrel. It was like when Dorgon was seeking support. Dorgon told them that they would go to try to attack in the afternoon. If they failed, they would have their own way.
Although the answer is not satisfied with both factions, it is at least a very feasible solution. So both sides stopped quarreling and prepared to engage in a relatively large-scale battle to see if there is a chance to eat Liu Pei and break Jinan City?
Dorgon sent 20,000 people, but these 20,000 people were not going to let them go together, depending on the situation. Liu Pei observed Dorgon's dispatch and found that he obviously divided the 20,000 people into five waves.
One of the waves slowly moved towards Liu Pei's right wing. It can be seen that he should be preparing to restrain the square formation on the right. The other four waves were all aimed at Liu Pei's left wing's square formation.
After thinking about it, Liu Peiluoga understood Dorgon's idea. It seemed that he was preparing to draw an arc for the army to attack the sharp corners of the left wing square formation, and use it as a breakthrough. Because it can almost be regarded as the blind spot of the square formation firearm!
However, Liu Pei didn't care at all. When the Qing army started moving, Liu Pei could give Dorgon a surprise!
When Liu Pei saw the Qing cavalry several miles away start to move slowly, Liu Pei immediately ordered: "Let the two square formations retreat a little longer. Choose the nearest distance. This will be more conducive to our artillery operation. Be prepared for the square formation to turn!"
The two square formations themselves are not far from the camp, and are within the coverage of the cannons on the village wall. If you retreat two hundred steps later, the cannons can be fired for one more round.
Chapter completed!
