Jiang Xiang's Xuanfu soldiers and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army were all organized into Green Camp soldiers.
Moreover, Jiang Xiang's Xuanfu soldiers and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army were both stationed in Datong, Xuanfu, and became the Green Camp in Beijing. This time they also came to Hetao with Dorgon.
Although the Green Camp was reorganized, its status was far lower than that of the Eight Banners Han Army.
It is even more incomparable to the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Manchuria. It is a world of difference.
To put it bluntly, the Green Battalion is cannon fodder or a death camp, a consumable product specially used to consume the enemy's firepower, physical strength and energy during combat. Although Jiang Xiang and Wu Sangui were very dissatisfied, they had nothing to do.
For example, in this decisive battle in the Hetao, Dorgon put the Green Camp at the forefront again.
Dorgon's intention was to let the Green Camp soldiers consume a wave of pseudo-subordinate troops first.
If the green battalion soldiers defeated the puppet shun army in one go, and then engaged in pursuit of Eight Banners Mongolia and Eight Banners Manchuria. If the green battalion soldiers failed to defeat the puppet shun army, it would not matter. At least they could consume a lot of physical strength and energy of the puppet shun army. At this time
If they throw the Eight Banners into Manchuria and launch an attack again, the puppet and submissive army will definitely be defeated.
It must be said that Dorgon's arrangement was extremely thoughtful.
Based on the paper strength of both sides, the Qing army has a very high chance of winning.
Hong Chengchou said: "Master has arranged it this way, and nothing will go wrong."
While he was talking, half of the puppet army had already reached the north bank of the Yellow River.
Fan Wencheng said: "Master, now is a good time to attack halfway across the river!"
"Well, this time it's finally our Qing army's turn to cross over and attack." Dorgon nodded happily. In the past six months, the pseudo-submissive soldiers had only half-crossed over and attacked their Qing army. This time the situation was finally reversed.
, and shouted, "Pass the decree, the Green Camp is the front team, the Eight Banners Manchuria is the rear team, the Eight Banners Mongolia protects the two wings, the whole army attacks!"
Dorgon didn't even want to test him, he just attacked with all his might.
After Dorgon's order was issued, the Qing army immediately began to move.
The terrain in the Junzijin area is extremely open, making it the most perfect battlefield.
The endless sound of horns, the sound of war drums, and the general's powerful shouts instantly resounded throughout the battlefield, and the war horses also emitted a dull low hiss from time to time, adding a bit of chilling atmosphere to the battlefield.
There were 60,000 Green Battalion, 60,000 Manchurian Banners, and 28,000 Mongolian Banners on the left and right wings. A total of 140,000 troops pushed rows of sidecars and carriages, marching in neat steps towards the puppets.
Shunjun pressed forward.
On the north bank of the Yellow River in Junzijin, approximately 50,000 to 60,000 hypocritical cavalrymen had just landed.
Before they even had time to form a team, the Jiannu army was already crushing them like a tide.
At this time, the pseudo-submissive cavalry had only two choices. One was to quickly dismount and line up, with spear formations against spear formations, and lance formations against pike formations, to resist the Qing army's green camp attack and buy time for the following infantry to cross the river. As long as
The hundreds of thousands of infantrymen and chariot battalions that followed successfully crossed the river, and the battle could still be fought.
The second option is to get out of the way of the battlefield and use the mobility of the cavalry and cavalry fire to harass the two wings of the Green Battalion to slow down the advance of the Green Battalion. This will also buy the following infantry and vehicle battalions time to cross the river. However, the hypocritical cavalry is still there.
While harassing the Green Camp, they will also be entangled by the Eight Banners Mongolia.
The hypocritical cavalry finally chose to get out of the way and harassed both wings of the Green Battalion.
More than 50,000 hypocritical cavalry began to change their formations, and soon divided into two groups, separated on the left and right.
On the Junzijin grass beach, which is more than ten miles wide, there are countless horses' heads swaying, and the horses are neighing and the crowd is boiling.
There were over a thousand cavalrymen, boundless, over ten thousand cavalrymen, reaching the sky. More than fifty thousand Dashun cavalrymen gathered together, and almost completely covered the Junzijin Grass Beach, which was more than ten miles wide.
It was as if the whole world had been covered with cavalry.
Dorgon's face fell when he saw this scene through the telescope.
Unknowingly, Pseudo-Shun actually had such a huge cavalry.
If the puppets were given a few more years to integrate the grasslands, would they still be able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of cavalry?
After Dorgon's death, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, I, and Fan Wencheng were also secretly shocked when they saw this. In just over a year, Pseudo-Shun has actually recovered its strength? With Nan Ming in the south and Pseudo-Shun in the west, the Qing Dynasty will be in trouble.
With their horses' heads trembling and their iron hooves turning, the hypocritical cavalry quickly gave way to the front of the battlefield.
Dorgon and a group of confidants saw the rear column of the puppet army that was still wading across the river.
However, what surprised Dorgon and others was that in addition to the infantry, the rear group of the puppet army actually led mules and horses. No, those were not mules and horses at all, but camels?
Dorgon said in astonishment: "Is this a camel?"
"Why do the hypocritical infantrymen carry camels? Are they used to carry baggage?"
"That's not right. How can the supply camp be ahead of the infantry camp?"
Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I also looked at each other, feeling very surprised.
Hong Chengchou's expression changed and he said: "Master, it's possible that reinforcements from Junggar have arrived!"
"Heng Jiu, do you suspect that this is the camel cavalry of Junggar?" Dorgon's face suddenly fell again.
"Yes." Hong Chengchou said, "I heard that the Junggar tribe has a large number of camel cavalry. Only the Junggar tribe has camel cavalry, and no other Mongolian tribes have it."
"Ba Tuhun chose hypocrisy after all." Dorgon said solemnly.
While they were talking, nearly a thousand camels walking in front had already come ashore and soon spread out along the river bank.
At this time, the puppet cavalry separated on the left and right had already merged with the Eight Banner Mongolians on both wings.
The Green Camp troops in the middle have also advanced to less than 500 steps from the north bank of the Yellow River.
According to the advancing speed of both sides, only a few infantry in the front of the puppet army had a chance to go ashore, while the vast majority of the infantry and vehicle battalions in the back could only squeeze into the cold river water to confront the green camp.
Seeing this, Fan Wencheng smiled and said: "Master, the overall situation of this battle has been decided."
Dorgon and Hong Chengchou kept their eyes fixed on the nearly a thousand camels.
The two of them had a vague feeling that there was something strange on the backs of these nearly a thousand camels.
Sure enough, after nearly a thousand camels spread out along the north bank of the Yellow River, they soon lay down on the ground under the control of the camel driver. Then the camel driver lifted the Persian carpet covering the camel's back.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The carpet was lifted, and what was revealed underneath was a series of small artillery pieces!
Dorgon's heart immediately paused, and he almost lost his temper and screamed: "What the hell is that?"
"Master, it looks like artillery!" Hong Chengchou's voice was also trembling. Although the caliber of these artillery pieces was not large and their lethality should be far less than that of the red cannons, they could not hold many. There were nearly a thousand of them!
"Cannon?!" Dorgon's face instantly became extremely embarrassed, and his telescope locked onto a camel.
Through the field of vision of the telescope, you can clearly see the cannon on the back of the camel. It is not long, only three feet at most, and weighs only three to five hundred kilograms at most. No wonder it can be carried by a camel and run around.
It was still able to turn, and under the control of another camel operator, he quickly turned the muzzle around and pointed it at the green battalion soldiers in front.
Seeing this scene, Dorgon suddenly roared: "I remembered it, I remembered it, damn it, Tang Ruowang told me that this is Junggar's camel swivel cannon!"
"Camel swivel cannon?" Hong Chengchou and other confidants looked at each other.
Looking further forward, I saw nearly a thousand camel cannons firing one after another.
Dorgon quickly turned the field of view of the telescope and aimed at the green camp soldiers who were charging towards the river beach. However, he saw that hundreds of bloody roads were plowed out in the dense infantry array of the green camp soldiers in an instant.
This wave of green battalion was badly beaten. Most of the shells directly hit the green battalion's infantry formation. A small number of shells landed on the grassy beach in front of the green battalion's formation, but they also formed ricochet, and finally hit the green battalion's formation.
, also plowing a bloody road in the tight queue.
Wherever the shells passed, the bodies of the Green Camp soldiers were all broken into pieces.
Even conservative estimates suggest that at least thousands of Green Camp soldiers were killed.
The sidecar pushed to the front by the green battalion soldiers was of no use at all.
Suffering this heavy blow, Luying suddenly slowed down and began to hesitate.
Because the density of artillery fire from the puppet army has exceeded their endurance limit. Who can withstand such a casualty method? No one can withstand it! This is a volley of thousands of artillery pieces!
If you charge against a volley of thousands of artillery pieces, aren't you looking for death?
However, the Junggar artillery did not stop and continued to bombard the Green Camp.
The rate of fire of the camel swivel cannon is obviously faster than that of the red cannon. The red cannon fires one shell, while the camel swivel cannon can fire at least three shells!
After several rounds of shelling, the Green Camp's casualties exceeded 5,000.
Such heavy casualties finally broke through the psychological defense of Green Camp, and they turned around and fled uncontrollably.
However, because there were 60,000 bannermen from Eight Banners and Manchuria behind them, they had no choice but to flee to both sides. However, this exposed Eight Banners and Manchuria to the muzzle of the Camel Revolving Cannon.
The carriages of the Eight Banners and Manchuria were also unable to withstand the shells of the revolving artillery.
Amidst the continuous banging and banging, one cart after another was destroyed.
The Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers hiding behind the carriages also suffered heavy casualties, with more than a thousand casualties in a short period of time.
However, the fighting will of the Eight Banners Manchuria was far superior to that of the Green Camp troops. Even with heavy casualties, the Eight Banners Manchuria still dared to continue to advance against Junggar's revolving artillery.
Seeing this scene, Dorgon couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Heng Jiu, if it weren't for you this time, I would have almost missed something important." Dorgon took a deep breath, turned around and shouted, "Password, the left and right wings should not move, and the Eight Banners will withdraw from Manchuria!"
Dorgon's decree was quickly conveyed through the royal flag.
The next moment, the Eight Banners Manchuria, which was advancing forward, immediately turned around and retreated.
At this time, with the cover of the Junggar artillery, tens of thousands of puppet infantrymen had already landed ashore. Seeing the Eight Banners Manchuria retreating, these tens of thousands of puppet infantrymen who had landed took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.
Along with the counterattack of the infantry in the center, the hypocritical cavalry on both wings also pushed forward with all their strength.
Seeing this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Dorgon's mouth. Fortunately, I saved a hand, otherwise I would have been in trouble today, but now, it is the puppet army's turn to be unlucky.
