Chapter 670 Artillery Battle

He Fei's move suddenly disrupted the deployment of the Qing army. The Qing army on the east wing was also in a commotion and felt at a loss as to the approach of the two infantry regiments. It was not until Dorgon's order was delivered

After arriving, Tan Tu, who commanded the right-wing Qing army, hurriedly gathered nearly 3,000 Qing cavalry and rushed out of the skirmishing line in front.

After a period of confrontation, a battle broke out between the two armies around the hilltop occupied by Shumo.

Seeing the two thousand-man phalanxes of the Runing Army approaching, Liu Shun's troops of the Qing Army immediately made preparations. The Sanshun King's troops, which were born out of Sun Yuanhua's chariot camp, were best at this type of defensive warfare.

But when the phalanx of the Runing Army reached a distance of five or six hundred steps away from Liu Shun's troops, they stopped again amidst the rapid beating of drums. Before Liu Shun and the others could figure out the situation, between the two phalanxes

In the passage between them, an artillery carriage rushed out at the lead, and then a long line of artillery carriages formed a long queue and drove out of the passage one after another.

The first artillery cart rushed straight to a distance of three to four hundred steps away from Liu Shun's troops, then turned a 180-degree turn in front of the formation, pointed the muzzle at Liu Shun's troops, then untied the reins, adjusted the muzzle, and pressed

The live ammunition and a series of dazzling movements stunned Liu Shun and the others. It was not until the gunner lit the match and the shells flew out of the barrel that Liu Shun and the others reacted.

"The Han dogs are firing! Fight back quickly!" Liu Shun shouted at the top of his lungs.

Following Liu Shun's shouts, King Sanshun's soldiers immediately fired more than thirty tiger squatting cannons and Folang machine guns in sequence. Even bird cannons and eagle cannons were fired one after another. Regardless of whether they were within the range or not.

.The artillery of the Runing Army was immediately covered by the shells of King Sanshun, and even the two artillery carriages that followed were knocked over by the shells one after another.

Although the artillery of the Runing Army has a long range, they want to cover Liu Shun's troops with artillery fire, not simply hit Liu Shun's formation, so the artillery of the Runing Army must come close to fire. In this way, both sides

The difference in range has actually been offset. At this time, the artillery on both sides actually began to "fight with bayonets" to see who was more brave and tenacious.

Xiong Zhengen was sitting on the third artillery cart in the lead. He saw white smoke rising from the front of the Qing army's formation. Then dozens of small black dots grew from small to large and flew over, suddenly hitting his surroundings.

The artillery truck in front was hit by a shell, and the whole vehicle was immediately smashed into pieces. A large piece of debris roared towards Xiong Zhengen. Xiong Zhengen lowered his head subconsciously, only to feel a gust of wind in his ears. Xiong Zhengen rolled over

Fell under the gun carriage.

The artillery truck behind quickly avoided Xiong Zhengen who was on the ground. Xiong Zhengen rolled a few times on the ground and got up with his hands on the ground. He felt a wetness on his forehead, and when he touched it with his hand, his hands were covered with blood. Xiong Zhengen's

The soldiers had also run over, and they quickly helped Xiong Zhengen, who was a little unsteady on his feet.

But Xiong Zhengen pushed them all away one by one. He shouted: "Leave me alone! Move faster! Stop the car and shoot!" But after he finished shouting, he realized that he could no longer hear his shouts.

There was only a "buzzing" sound, and Xiong Zhengen was temporarily deaf.

"Sir! You are injured!" The soldiers around him shouted anxiously.

However, Xiong Zhengen could only see the lips of his own soldiers moving, but could not hear their words at all. But he still wanted to persist, and he still had luck in his heart: "Maybe my hearing will recover soon. If the war just starts.

If I withdraw from the battle due to injury, those bastards of infantry and cavalry will definitely be rolling on the ground laughing."

So Xiong Zhengen once again pushed away the support of his soldiers: "Get out of the way!" Then he raised his legs and walked towards the front of the formation. But as soon as he took a step, Xiong Zhengen lost his balance and fell face down.

Mud. The splashed debris just now not only hurt Xiong Zhengen's forehead, but also hurt his cochlea. Now he can no longer control his sense of balance.

The soldiers no longer dared to let Xiong Zhengen's willfulness go. They quickly stepped forward to help Xiong Zhengen, and led a few empty horses, put Xiong Zhengen on the horse and helped him up, then dragged the horse and ran back.

Xiong Zhengen also knew that he had to withdraw from the battle. He couldn't command at all in his condition, so he shouted and ordered: "The artillery will be transferred to the command of Commander Guan!" Then he beat the horse's back bitterly and put the

The horse was beaten and whinnied for a while.

Although Xiong Zhengen was forced to withdraw from the battlefield, after Guan Xin, deputy commander of the Cavalry Association, took over the command, the artillery firing of the Runing Army was not affected.

In fact, there was nothing to command at this time. They just drove the artillery carts to the front of the formation and fired continuously. The Runing Army had more artillery than Liu Shun's troops of the Qing Army, with a larger caliber and a faster firing rate.

So with the artillery in place, the artillery battle gradually became one-sided.

When he saw that the situation was not good, Liu Shun wanted to escape, but he was already too late. The Runing Army's artillery shells had long torn the oar car in front of Liu Shun's troops into pieces, and now they were "ploughing" Liu Shun's troops over and over again.

.A cannonball fell just in front of Liu Shun. After bouncing up, it hit Liu Shun's body and immediately smashed him into a bloody mess.

But at this time, these soldiers of King Sanshun no longer cared about their commander. They were all running around. No one wanted to fight back, so they ran towards the main line of the Qing army, getting farther and farther away from the artillery of the Runing army.

good.

Dorgon, who was watching the battle from the rear, initially saw the Runing Army's artillery carriage approaching the front of the formation. He didn't think anything of it. Seeing that the Runing Army's artillery was fired so quickly, he immediately stood upright from his horse.

"Quickly seize that cannon! Hurry up and seize that cannon!" Dorgon shouted excitedly, "As long as we seize this cannon, this battle will be worth it. Hurry up!" Several messengers ordered

The soldiers immediately galloped towards Tan Tu's tribe on the east side.

Dorgon knew the significance of these artillery pieces. If the Qing Dynasty had such a military weapon, coupled with the unparalleled cavalry in the world, it would really be at the mercy of the world.

But as the artillery group of the Runing Army concentrated its firing, Dorgon gradually calmed down. Now these artillery pieces are in the hands of the Ming Army on the opposite side! Fighting against such an enemy, I don’t know how many national athletes will be needed.

.

The generals of the Qing army also watched in silence as Liu Shun's troops were covered by artillery fire. At this time, they were speechless. Everyone was thinking in their hearts: "King Sanshun's Han army is over!"

There was silence for a long time. Suddenly, the messenger who came to the east wing to deliver the order to "seize the artillery" came back quickly. He reported to Dorgon: "Your Majesty! Tan Zuoling refused to step forward, saying that Ming Gou's artillery fire was too strong!
