Seeing the battle falling into a stalemate, Dorgon shook his head slightly. Although today's battle was full of turbulence and both sides tried their best, they still fell into the same situation as before, and no one could do anything about the other.
At this time, Dorgon began to make plans. Should he continue fighting like this for a while and then withdraw his troops? Then he would return the main force to Liaodong, join forces with Sony, and defeat the Han army that came for reinforcements first?
But in this way, Shanhaiguan will face a siege. Even if Ningyuan and Zhenyuan in Liaodong are captured, it will be difficult for the Qing army to enter through Shanhaiguan in the future. In the future, they will still only maintain a world outside the customs.
Even when Wu Ni's dynasty established a foothold, they could continuously train new armies, and the Qing Dynasty would gradually fall into a situation of being passively beaten. After all, the Central Plains dynasty still had a vast territory, abundant resources, and a large population!
But then throw in the elite Qing army to win today's decisive battle? Let's not say whether we are sure of winning. Even if it is a real victory, it will be a tragic victory. If the Qing army wins, at most it will capture the city of Beijing, and there will be no more leftovers in the future.
The troops controlled more places.
Therefore, the current Dorgon is full of troubles, and he cannot think of a good way out for the Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that today's Daping Army can only draw a draw, while the Qing Army will lose if it draws.
However, this is also a characteristic of the war between the nomadic people outside the Pass and the Central Plains dynasty. The war potential of the two sides is not of the same order of magnitude. And for the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which have been defeated miserably for decades, it can only be said that it is only a matter of days.
But just when Dorgon was hesitant, the Daping Army suddenly began to switch from defense to offense.
Obviously, Xue Yongli today was not satisfied with the result of a tie. So after withstanding the Qing army's attack, he decisively changed his deployment.
Xue Yongli mobilized an assistant from Yang Rusong's Huhou Town, and concentrated all the regimental artillery of the rear troops into the artillery team. As a result, the artillery team gathered more than fifty artillery pieces, and then used Ma Shouying's more than 6,000 cavalry as cover.
A battle group was formed. It was necessary to force a breakthrough from the center and attack the Qing army's center again.
So when the phalanx in the middle of the Daping Army moved aside to reveal the attacking troops, the Qing soldiers who were dazed by the stalemate were immediately stunned.
Some of the more optimistic generals of the Qing army were overjoyed. The Han army on the opposite side finally emerged from its tortoise shell. There was hope for the victory of the Qing Dynasty again. However, some experienced generals of the Qing army felt their hearts sinking. Today, the first victory of the Daping Army
During one attack, two troops turned against each other, and this time it was an abnormal attack. So what new tricks did they have?
Dorgon was also refreshed when he saw the Daping Army suddenly switching from defense to offense. In any case, this also broke the deadlock on the battlefield. So Dorgon immediately asked the Qing army in the middle to prepare for defense and withstand this Daping Army unit.
Attack. And send orders to the left and right wings. Let the Qing troops on both wings wait until the Daping army has rushed deeper, and then quickly cut off the retreat of this Daping army and strive to surround it.
The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the attention of all the soldiers on both sides focused on this battle group. Around this battle group, both sides were redeploying, and the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield became stronger and stronger.
When the battle group moved seven or eight hundred steps away from the Qing army, they suddenly stopped. The phalanx soldiers in front of the artillery team also squatted down, and the artillery that had been loaded with ammunition immediately fired.
.
"Boom, boom, boom!", more than fifty artillery pieces were fired at the defensive position in the middle of the Qing army. They immediately blew up the oars and carts in front of the formation to pieces. One after another, the artillery shells plowed through the Qing army's formation.
After passing by, the Qing army in the middle was immediately in chaos.
The gunners of the Daping Army did not care at all to observe the effect of shooting. They continued to load ammunition quickly and quickly. They used the fastest speed to complete the entire loading process against the clock. "Boom, boom, boom——!", the second round.
The volley started again. Then came the third round.
After three rounds of artillery fire, the Qing army in the middle could no longer hold its position. The intensive firing of artillery produced a quantitative change and a qualitative change. Such a shocking "ploughing" immediately made the Qing army full of confidence.
None. The Qing soldiers who were still alive in the middle all ran away from the shooting range. No one dared to stay in the shadow of death area. The artillery cluster fire of the Daping Army began to show off again.
Faced with such an artillery threat, the cavalry on both wings of the Qing army did not hesitate to launch an attack. They formed a formation six or seven hundred steps away, and began to try to successfully charge the formation again and completely eliminate the artillery of the Daping Army.
However, the battle group of the Daping Army was already prepared. After three rounds of salvos, the artillery was divided into two groups and turned its muzzle to the left and right. Before the Qing troops on both wings could complete their formation, the artillery began to cluster again.
The cannonballs that were fired knocked down the Qing cavalry on the left and right flanks.
After suffering a sudden loss, the Qing troops on both wings immediately retreated. They wanted to get out of the range of the artillery and reorganize, and they did not dare to take any action under the gunfire. Dorgon, seeing that the situation was not good, also began to concentrate on the center.
The Qing army's cavalry wanted to siege this battle group on three sides.
While the Qing army's attention was focused on the protruding battle group, the Daping Army's phalanx in the rear also began to quietly move forward. This time, the Daping Army's phalanx did not line up in a straight line, but tilted on both sides.
It rose up to form an arc, faintly protecting the protruding battle group.
Xue Yongli attacked again, which was not only an act of fighting for the initiative on the battlefield, but also a "winner's hand". Xue Yongli's tactical intention was very clear, which was to use this "unreasonable" attack to disrupt the situation.
The rhythm of the Qing army attracted the Qing army to attack this battle group to disrupt the Qing army's deployment. The main force of the Daping Army was also mobilized to besiege the Qing troops who attacked the battle group. Fight chaos with chaos and training.
The well-trained Daping Army troops came to defeat the Qing army with varying combat capabilities.
To be honest, this not only shows the strong offensive desire of Xue Yongli and other Daping Army generals, but also reflects Xue Yongli's strong adventurous spirit and courage to take risks.
However, the commanders of the two armies still did not expect that the cluster firing of the artillery team would produce such a huge result. Dorgon, who was not very familiar with the power of artillery, could forget it, but Xue Yongli had already commanded an artillery cluster battle.
, but he still underestimated the concentrated launch of this weapon. So when he saw such results, Xue Yongli suddenly became excited.
Of course, it was not only Xue Yongli who was excited, but also the artillerymen of the Daping Army who were firing artillery. They finally felt like the "God of War". (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster !
