Well, this is not surprising, the Qing army’s military regulations were much stricter than the Ming army’s.
After the Ming army was defeated, the generals just gathered the remaining soldiers, and there were no punishments such as thirteen cuts.
But the Qing army was different. Any surrender troops who fled were immediately executed!
In fact, when the camp was attacked by artillery this time, Dorobelek Dehun showed no mercy when gathering his troops and rectifying military discipline. His soldiers were killed one by one.
In addition, after the Ming army surrendered and transformed into the Qing army, it seemed that it had a special BUFF upper body, as if it had been infected with the victorious temperament of the Qing army, and suddenly became braver.
Of course, this is not surprising. After some people surrender to the enemy, they will be more ruthless than the enemy when dealing with their own people.
However, the new Nanming army did not attack the Qing army when they came out of camp. After all, the crossing officers were afraid of disrupting the Qing army. In that case, the effect of total annihilation would not be achieved.
In this battle, Dorobele Lekdehun personally held the battle, with 12,000 Ming surrender troops arrayed in front, and 1,200 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers behind them to supervise the battle. Anyone who escaped from the battle would be killed!
This is already the maximum force that Dorobel Lekdehun can bring out for the time being.
You know, it doesn't mean that if the Qing army has 50,000 soldiers, it can put out 50,000 soldiers to form an array.
Among these 50,000 soldiers and horses, at least 15,000 belong to the logistics, which is the so-called supply camp.
In addition, there are outposts, watchtowers, hills, and strongholds distributed throughout the front, with at least another 10,000 troops.
Without these existences, the Nanming army might have quietly passed through the defense line at any time and dealt a blow to the Qing army in the back.
Twelve thousand Ming surrender troops and 1,200 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers faced off against two thousand new Ming troops.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that one side has strong troops and the other side has weak troops, giving people a completely asymmetrical feeling.
Dorobele Lekedhun looked at the Ming army opposite, smiled disdainfully with his face hidden under his mask, and then waved his hand.
The herald behind him waved his flag and the order was quickly passed on.
Under the orders of the Ming Jiang generals, the Ming Jiang army began to move forward.
Standing at the front were the sword and shield players. They held round shields in their left hands and long knives in their right hands. They kept rushing forward and made some weird roars in their mouths. They seemed to be emboldening themselves and at the same time.
Intimidate enemies.
Following closely behind were the spearmen, and finally the archers walked slowly.
Well, there are no cavalry accompanying us.
The only cavalry in Dorobelek Dehun's hands were his own soldiers.
He couldn't bear to suffer any casualties among his Eight Banners disciples at this time.
What's more, in his opinion, although the opponent's artillery was sharp, those Nanming troops were not worth mentioning.
As long as they are approached, the Nanming army will inevitably collapse and flee, and then send their own soldiers to cover up and reap the victory.
He has done this kind of thing many times.
But as the distance between the two parties gradually narrowed, Dorobelek Dehun's expression showed some changes, just when he wanted to say something.
Opposite, the instructors mixed with the Nanming New Army have forcibly taken over the command of the Nanming officers.
No way, these guys were probably scared out of their wits by the Qing army. They were so arrogant before, but as soon as the Qing army came out of the camp, many Nanming officers' legs trembled. One of the commander-in-chiefs even wanted to escape from the battle.
He was immediately knocked unconscious by the instructor next to him and dragged aside.
There is no time to deal with him at this time.
"Everyone, remember, it is just like during training! The enemies in front of you are all targets! Remember, they are all targets!"
"Everyone, don't mess up!! Don't mess up!!"
"Artillery! Target the enemy in front, cross and fire ten rounds freely!"
Of the two officers who crossed the line, one led the instructors to command and suppress the panicked infantry, while the other commanded the artillery and fired at the Qing army that had advanced six hundred meters away.
For the Napoleon cannon, 600 meters is already a relatively comfortable shooting distance.
Simply put, 900 meters is the most scientific distance to start shelling.
After all, based on the rate of fire of the Napoleon Cannon, it can fire more than five rounds starting from 900 meters until the enemy charges to the face-to-face position.
However, considering that these new army artillerymen have only trained for two months, and in order to save shells and medicine packs, their number of live-fire training sessions is much lower than that of the artillerymen of the Xinghai Kingdom.
As you can imagine, these unskilled artillerymen cannot have too high demands on them.
Firing at 600 meters is an easy position to control accuracy.
A good result in the first round will undoubtedly allow these artillerymen to further enhance their self-confidence and perform better in the subsequent battles.
After hearing the order, the artillerymen who had already finished loading immediately pulled the fuse vigorously.
There was a loud bang, and the round cannonball the size of a human head was like a wild horse, shooting happily into the distance.
The speed of the gunshot is much lower than the speed of the cannon ejecting from the barrel.
Therefore, when the surrendering troops of the Ming Dynasty did not notice anything at all and were charging forward violently, several artillery shells were fired into the military formation from both sides in a cross pattern.
These shells exerted their greatest power in the dense crowd.
The first person hit by the shell had a big hole in his chest, and blood and bone fragments suddenly spurted out backwards.
After the cannonball penetrated the first man, it flew past the second man's arm, and the second man's arm disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The third person's waist was smashed, as if half of his waist had been bitten off by a monster, exposing his mutilated intestines and white bones.
The fourth and fifth people lost their thighs one after another, and the sixth and seventh people broke their calves.
By this time, the cannonball had hit the dry ground, smashing a stone into more than a dozen pieces of flying rubble. At the same time, it bounced into the air. After a while, six more people fell down.
In addition, the dozen or so flying gravels beat several people nearby until they vomited blood and slowly fell down.
With just six shells, six bloody roads almost crossed in the surrendering camp.
But this was not the end. Because the Nanming artillerymen were not very skilled in their operations, the remaining four shells arrived too late a few seconds later, creating four bloody paths in the military formation.
No way, when these surrender troops were walking slowly and approaching the enemy, in order to boost each other's morale, they stood too densely, so that each shell could easily knock down more than ten people before they could move.
Dissipate and stop honestly.
In other words, in just such a wave of shelling, at least hundreds of surrendered troops were killed or injured.
