With the complete confrontation between the Qing and Shun armies, the infantry phalanxes of both sides were completely plunged into chaos. The original orderly and solemn phalanxes and lines no longer existed. Spearmen, sword players, jumping soldiers or The swordsmen and swordsmen are all fighting individually. The formation of a small team of several people is far more effective at this time than the large square formation.
Only the archers and musketeers in the back row of the battle line could barely maintain a neat formation. However, as the Qing army's line continued to retreat, the musketeers also had to keep moving forward, forming a long line between various units. In the process of advancing, it will naturally break automatically due to different terrain and speed.
This results in a large number of gaps in the chaotic battlefield. Whichever side takes the lead in deploying reserve forces, inserts itself into the gaps, divides and surrounds the enemy, and achieves the effect of annihilating the enemy in the field.
Guo Junzhen had already invested most of his chips, and Li Laiheng, who was supposed to be the final blow and the last blow, led the Su Wei to the right wing to intercept the Ming army.
The opportunity to play cards therefore fell into the hands of Dorgon. The regent was a man who knew military affairs well, and he would never let go of this great opportunity.
What's more, Liu Fangliang carried the banner of the King of Jin and stood out in front of the army. This also attracted Dorgon and made the regent feel that the time was ripe to kill Li Laiheng.
"White-armored soldiers!"
The white-armored soldiers are the elite soldiers of Bagala, the elite of the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty, and the last trump card in Dorgon's hand. Most of the white-armored soldiers have already mounted their horses, although people who are familiar with the Manchurian army think that Manchuria will be demoted. The power of cavalry.
Especially Guan Ningjun and other Ming Dynasty frontier soldiers believed that the Manchu cavalry's bow and horse skills were not as powerful as the Mongols' subjugation of the barbarians.
This may be true when it comes to cavalry shooting, but the cavalry assault of the white-armored soldiers is similar to the three walls of the Shun army, strict and tenacious. Even in the post-Jin Dynasty, the white-armored soldiers were able to achieve it again and again and again. impact.
After a charge, they can immediately pull together the team and reorganize their formation. After breaking out from the enemy's siege, they can reorganize the charge formation from a distance and launch a second, third, fourth... charge.
Compared with the wall charge of the Dashun Army, the attack line of the White Armored Soldiers was still too loose. However, compared with the Guanning Army, Qin Army, and Mongolian Outer Domain Soldiers, when the White Armored Soldiers launched a charge, there was a gap between the war horses and the detachment. The density between the teams was terrifying enough.
Except for a small number of rangers standing around in the melee battlefield, firing some cold arrows at the compliant cavalry from time to time, most of the white-armored soldiers were arranged in dense attack columns, ready to use the tactics learned from the arrogant compliant army to retaliate.
Kong Youde directed the artillery troops on foot to move their positions. Dozens of red barbarian cannons were dragged from the Chinese army position in Dorgon to the front line by the coated Aha with great effort.
The fuse of the bronze cannon was immediately lit, and the smell of gunpowder smoke quickly spread to the tip of Dorgon's nose. The cunning white fox showed a cold smile and gave orders to Shuotuo, Wakda, and Tunqika at the same time. :
"Attack! The sharpshooter is keeping an eye on the rogue bandit, and shooting Li Laiheng is the most important task!"
The surging white-armored soldiers rushed out quickly, and the Han soldiers under Kong Youde also rushed out of the artillery position. Under Dorgon's strong request, they filled the shaky central front of the Qing army with their flesh and blood.
The Qing army's conch blows got louder and louder, but the sound could never compete with the loud chants of the Shun army.
There was no trace of worry on Dorgon's expressionless face, which could only be seen as sinister. But Shuotuo, Wakda, and Tunqika were completely different.
The Jia soldiers were the last reserve force of the Qing army on the Xuzhou battlefield. Once they entered the battle, the Qing army could no longer respond to other sudden changes on the battlefield.
The sound of killing in the distant battlefield was loud, and the artillery of the Shun Army fired continuously. Every time the shells landed, it would definitely cause a large piece of fragmented and tragic scene. In front of firearms, even the bravest white-armored soldiers were just the most ordinary pieces.
Just pieces of meat.
Shuotuo advised: "The Ming army is too weak to fight. It can only contain the bandits, but it can never defeat them. We use the Ming army as a shield, and now we shift our troops to break through the encirclement in the northeast and fight with Azig's east side.
When the Route Army joins forces, we can still fight again!"
Except for Geng Zhongming, who left Geng Zhongming to defend Jinan, most of Azige's Eastern Route Army had already moved south to challenge the Shun Army's Taishan defense line. Shuotuo estimated that Azige should have between 40,000 and 50,000 elite troops. If the Qing army
Now if the brave men dare to cut off their wrists, abandon the Xuzhou battlefield, turn the entire army to the direction of Jinan, and attack Azige from the north and south to break through the Taishan defense line of the intruders, then the two armies will join forces and can still gather more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses.
"Our army and Azige are joining forces on the front line of Tai'an. Even if we lose a large number of green troops in Xuzhou, it will definitely not be a problem to withdraw 50,000 to 60,000 elite troops. After joining forces with Azige, there are still 100,000 troops, and we can definitely fight again.
ah!"
Shuotuo's words made Wakda and Tunqika nod their heads, but how could Dorgon allow this situation to happen? He grimaced, with a ferocious look on his face, full of murderous intent:
"Attack quickly! Who dares to disobey the military orders of the Qing Dynasty? This king is acting as the second emperor's personal convoy, who dares to disobey me!"
Dorgon defeated Haug through trickery and trickery, but more than half of the Eastern Route Army under Azig belonged to the Xianghuang Banner and Zhenghuang Banner of Haug's line.
If Dorgon was defeated in Xuzhou and his strength was greatly reduced, even if he could escape and join Azige to pacify Mount Tai, would the throne of the regent still be secure by then?
Even if Azig is Dorgon's biological brother and a foolhardy man, it is hard to guarantee that Azig does not have ambitions, and it is even harder to guarantee that Azig's two yellow flags do not want to avenge Hauge.
"Whoever dares to disobey Gu! Gu will kill anyone who owns the Eight Banners cavalry!"
Dorgon had only one choice, which was to fight to the end in Xuzhou and either win a great victory or die.
He drew out his sword, mounted his horse and went into battle: "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. If you die alone, the Qing Dynasty will die. If you live alone in the Qing Dynasty, who dares to defy me? Attack now!"
Shuotuo sighed helplessly. Although after the Ming army entered the battle, the Qing army suddenly increased by 50,000 new troops, and its strength once again exceeded the Shun army by about half. But who doesn't know the quality of these Ming troops? They are simply vulnerable!
It was too late to drag him down. Did Dorgon lose his mind? It is ridiculous to place his hopes on Ma Shiying.
The expressions of Wakda and Tunqika changed quickly, while Shuotuo was dejected. If the fight continued like this, even if the intruders were defeated, how many Manchurians would be left?
Manchuria is a small tribe, and perhaps it was a mistake for a small tribe to want to overpower the big country of Zhongxia.
Shuotuo finally said: "Prince Regent, there are ten thousand soldiers in Xuzhou City, and they may come out of the city to attack our troops at any time. We still have to leave troops to defend the Xuzhou defenders. Please leave an army here temporarily."
Dorgon glanced at the head of Xuzhou City with disdain:
"Let Kong Youde stay, and you all will attack alone."
Shuotuo finally despaired. Dorgon obviously put his own fame and wealth on the future of the Qing Dynasty and let Kong Youde defend his retreat? This was because he planned to let everyone die after the final attack failed!
