Chapter nine hundred and sixty first fierce battle
The powerful combat effectiveness of the battle group, especially the cluster firing of artillery, was beyond everyone's expectation and gave the Qing army great panic.
But now there is no reason for Dorgon to retreat. Obviously, the cluster artillery tactics adopted by the Daping Army are still in their infancy. If the main force of the Daping Army is defeated in one fell swoop, then the Qing Army still has a future. If today's battle cannot be carried out in one fell swoop,
If you win, then...
Xue Yongli, who was watching the battle, was also overjoyed. Although the Daping Army has always attached great importance to firearms, they still basically allocate artillery to each unit. I didn't expect that it would produce such a good effect in today's episode. This is completely artillery.
A revolution in tactics.
It is conceivable that in the future, as long as the Daping Army's troops have an artillery cluster, they will be invincible in future battles. The enemy army cannot form a formation at all, and it is difficult to fight with the Daping Army in the field. The battle of the Daping Army will be different.
As for the battle group that was charging forward now, they were even more excited. The battle group continued to approach the defensive position in the middle of the Qing army, shooting in groups again and again, and defeated the Qing army again and again. It felt really
It's refreshing.
The Qing army finally couldn't stand it anymore. Under the strong supervision of the generals, the Qing army divided into three groups and began to attack the battle group. However, the terrifying power of the artillery fire was deeply imprinted in the minds of all the Qing soldiers, and they started to attack.
They had to be a little timid. In addition, the artillery of the Daping Army still maintained cluster shooting. Therefore, the Qing Army's several charges were in vain.
But now Dorgon and others were furious. They still drove the Qing army forward. Just at this time, the Daping Army's artillery also misfired one after another. The intensive firing made the barrels hot.
Reloading ammunition is likely to cause the chamber to explode under high temperature. Therefore, the Daping Army can no longer maintain cluster shooting.
Seeing the misfiring of the Han army's artillery, the morale of the Qing army was immediately boosted. They were finally able to form an array and charge towards the protruding battle group.
However, as soon as the Qing army rushed into the formation, the Daping army formation behind them was thrown into the battle. And the Daping army formation moved forward, which caused other Qing army troops to come forward to fight. A layer of siege was immediately formed on the battlefield.
With the posture, all the troops of the two armies were suddenly involved in the fierce battle.
The smoke on the battlefield is getting thicker and thicker, and the field of vision can no longer reach fifty steps. All the soldiers no longer know the fighting situation of the neighboring troops. They only know how to fight and fight towards the enemy in front of them.
At the beginning, the Daping army with firearms had the upper hand. However, as the smoke caused by the firearms hindered the battle, the battle had to enter a close-quarters fight. At this time, the superior strength of the Qing army came into play, and the battle situation gradually changed.
Turn towards the Qing army.
Xue Yongli also moved up the reserve team one after another. Yang Rusong's Tiger Roar Town went up, and the Chinese army's escort troops went up. In the end, even Xue Yongli's personal troops went up. The Daping Army has invested every part of itself.
troops.
The battle situation has become unprecedentedly tragic.
…
"Ahem! Gather the troops. Line up in a cone formation and charge with my old horse!" Ma Shouying ordered the officers under his command, "With this look, we are not of much use here. We might as well give the Tatars a surprise."
Woolen cloth."
"promise!"
Seeing that the battle situation was at a disadvantage, Ma Shouying's cavalry was no longer willing to be beaten passively. They formed a "life or death" triangle formation and prepared to attack Dorgon's central army.
"Tap, tap, tap -!" The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the triangular formation of more than 5,000 Ping army cavalry began to accelerate. They gradually entered a high-speed sprint. They bypassed the front of the battlefield and inserted diagonally towards the rear of the Qing army.
.
The Qing soldiers blocking the road were also knocked away one after another. Other Qing soldiers saw that the situation was not good and did not dare to block in front of this iron-hoofed torrent. With a "hoo", the Daping Army cavalry finally rushed out of the smoke.
In the diffuse area, the vision of all soldiers finally broadened.
What was quite surprising was that as soon as they regained their vision, Ma Shouying and the others saw that about 200 steps to the left of the triangular formation, the Qing cavalry in the middle also formed a cavalry array, intending to rush into the smoke area to attack the Daping Army's battle group.
The two cavalrymen passed by each other without interfering with each other. They both stared at the enemy's movements, but did not give up their goals, as if they were waiting for who would lose their temper first.
Finally, a group of Qing cavalry took the lead in breaking away from their formation and rushed towards the flanks of the Daping Army's triangle formation. Dozens of Daping Army cavalry on the edge also broke away from the formation to meet the charging Qing soldiers.
Don't let them affect your triangle formation.
These cavalrymen immediately got entangled and started fighting with each other. The generals leading the two cavalrymen just glanced at the other side's troops coldly, then continued to stare at their target and ran forward at high speed.
Ma Shouying led his troops to successfully rush into the Qing army's main formation through the gap opened by the artillery. When he saw the Qing army guarding the front of the Chinese army setting up a gun formation, Ma Shouying's blood boiled all over, and he could not even feel the pain on his body for the time being.
.
Arrows rained down from the sky, and the Daping Army cavalry all used their left arms to protect their faces, while arrows fell one after another on their bodies. Only a "crack-pap-pap" sound was heard. The plate armor blocked most of the Qing army's arrows.
, but a dozen Daping Army cavalry still rolled down their horses. Their falling to the ground also stumbled the cavalry running behind them. However, the Daping Army cavalry who rushed through the obstacles still gathered together, forming a triangle formation, heading towards
The Qing army rushed over violently.
"Bang!", "Bang bang!", "Bang bang bang!"..., they collided continuously and hit the Qing army's gun flower formation. After only holding on for a short while, the Qing army's gun flower formation collapsed.
A gap was created, and the gap became larger and larger. The entire Qing army's formation was finally shattered like an avalanche.
"Xiaoqi battalion, forward battalion, go up and stop them!" Dorgon saw the Daping Army cavalry charging, and also took out his last reserve team. So two battalions of more than 3,000 Qing army armored soldiers also faced Daping Army.
The army came to attack.
There were another series of collisions, and both sides still suffered heavy casualties. Although the Daping Army had more cavalry, the Qing Army was a quasi-heavy cavalry, so after several collisions, the Daping Army finally could not maintain the triangle formation. "Wow."
"With a sound, they dispersed and started fighting with the Qing army.
However, this time the Daping Army's desperate charge suddenly reached Dorgon. Many Qing troops fighting on the battlefield saw the danger of the Chinese army, and they all left the battle at the cost of casualties and hurried over.
Rescue the Qing army commander-in-chief Dorgon who was in danger. (To be continued..)
