Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 198 Both sides strike
Remnants of limbs and broken arms can be seen everywhere, which made the Han army bannermen and horses who charged were terrified.

In the Tartar camp in the distance, Dorgon, the owner of the White Banner, and Duoduo, the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, looked at the gunpowder smoke in the battlefield in surprise, and heard the sound of "booming" guns in their ears, and tried their best to comfort their crotch Restless war horse.

What Dorgon thought in his mind was:

What kind of firearms are these?Why is it so powerful, but the launch time interval is so short?If these weapons can be obtained, it will be more certain to seize the throne!
What Dodo thought in his heart was:
When the Han army bannermen and horses rush into the Ming army camp, it's time for us to do it!At that time, these weapons of the Ming army will be mine!At that time, even if I let Huang Taiji sit in Zen, he will have to let him too!
As for the people who died in the Han army flag, neither of them cared, because there are many Han troops!No more, just go to recruit and surrender!

However, contrary to expectations, only a thousand riders of the Han army flag could rush to the front of the rejecting horses, but these thousands of riders were stopped in front of the rifle camp by the steel rejecting horses and barbed wire.

As for the bows and arrows used by the cavalry, which were powerful in the past, they had no effect at all.

Only when you enter within 100 meters of the Ming army can you open your bow and shoot arrows. However, due to the intensive shooting of the Ming army's rifles, many people died before they could shoot an arrow.

Sporadic arrow rain fell on the rifle camp, but was blocked by the helmets on the heads of the soldiers and the stab-proof suits on their bodies.

Only a few unlucky ones were shot in the arms and legs by arrows, and they were seriously injured.

After several rounds of rifle shooting, all the Han army flags that rushed to the front of the formation were killed.

When the shouts of killing and the sound of guns stopped on the battlefield, there was no one except Wang Zhi, Gangzi and others.

Everyone was in disbelief, looking at the messy battlefield full of corpses, even the Han army flag soldiers who were injured and not dead, gritted their teeth palely and dared not make a sound.

Duoergun and Duoduo in the distance looked at Wang Zhi's new army with serious faces, thinking in their hearts whether the battle should continue.

let's hit!The entrance to the valley is too narrow, and there are too few troops to invest at one time. It is difficult to break into the formation of the Ming army and give full play to the advantages of the cavalry:

Don't fight!Even if 10 people are dispatched at a time, they can't win the opponent's mere 1 people!Going back with no results like this, not to mention that Huang Taiji would take advantage of the problem and win the status of the two banner owners, even the Mongolian and Han soldiers who surrendered would have other thoughts.

For a while, both of them were caught in a dilemma.

Duo Duo was not as good at making decisions as Dorgon, so he couldn't think of a solution after thinking for a long time, so he turned to Dorgon and asked:

"Dorgon, what are your plans for the current situation? Is it fighting or retreating?"

When Dorgon heard the words, he looked up at the Ming army camp in the distance, then at Duoduo, and said harshly:
"Fight! We must fight! If we don't fight, we won't be able to give Huang Taiji an explanation! It will also shame the reputation of the Manchu iron cavalry as invincible, and what follows is that the unified tribes will be half-hearted, and have no confidence in my Manqing's strength. question!"

Hearing Dorgon's words, Duoduo also understood that this battle cannot be lost, nor can he afford to lose.

Looking at the formation of the Ming army, Duoduo exhaled and said worriedly:
"Fight! But how can the formation of the Ming army be broken? How can we deal with that kind of artillery?"

After listening to Duo Duo's words, thinking of the powerful artillery of the Ming army and the extremely fast-firing muskets, Dorgon's head was also extremely big.

After thinking for a while, he said helplessly:
"Forget about today, it's going to be dark soon! Back off two miles and set up camp! Tomorrow, we will fight the Ming army."

Hearing Dorgon's words, Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Dorgon immediately ordered to retreat two miles and set up camp.

After hearing the order, the Mongolian cavalry and the flag cavalry of the Han army breathed a sigh of relief, wishing they could leave the battlefield immediately.

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and in about a quarter of an hour, they withdrew from the battlefield and set up camp two miles away.

Seeing that the enemy retreated, all the soldiers of the new army and the [-] Shanhaiguan cavalry cheered in unison.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi asked Shen Lian to lead the cavalry across the battlefield to guard, and the remaining soldiers cleaned the battlefield.

It was around [-] o'clock in the night, and the soldiers were arranged to finish their meals and treat the wounded soldiers. Pei Lun's rifle battalion was in charge of guarding the security camp.

In Wang Zhi's tent, all the commanders gathered together to discuss tomorrow's battle.

Wang Zhi glanced at all the confident generals after a battle, and said in his heart:

This first battle was a reassurance for everyone. With this foundation, everyone will have the confidence to fight against the Tartars in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi said:
"The Tartars still have 9 horses, and we will definitely launch another wave of attacks tomorrow! We will face a hard battle! Let's do this! Monk!"

Hearing this, the monk stood up and cupped his fists and said:
"The end is here!"

Wang said directly:
"Tomorrow it will be increased to ten heavy machine guns. You are responsible for finding ten machine gunners. I want them to be able to operate heavy machine guns tomorrow morning!"

And is the conditioned way to stand at attention:

"The last general takes orders!"

He waved his hand and asked the monk to go out to do some work, then turned to look at Zhuo Yifan and asked:
"Zhuo Yifan, check the equipment of your artillery battalion carefully, don't misfire at that time! Be careful to replace the barrel in time!"

Zhuo Yifan stood up and cupped his fists and said:

"The end will be saved!"

Nodding, Wang Zhi looked at Pei Lun and said:

"Pei Lun, your rifle battalion should also pay attention to check the use of the barrel! Replace the rifle parts in time!"

Pei Lun stood up solemnly, clasped his fists and said:
"Your Excellency, don't worry! I will tell the soldiers!"

Only then did Wang Zhi look at Shen Lian and said:
"Tomorrow there will be a big battle among the cavalry, you must be prepared! Of course, I will personally lead the team!"

After speaking, Wang Zhi glanced at Wu Sangui at the side.

Wu Sangui stood up, cupped his fists and said earnestly:

"My lord, Sangui hopes that the Shanhaiguan cavalry will join the battle tomorrow!"

Wang Zhi nodded, waved his hand and said:

"allow!"

But I thought in my heart:
Wu Sangui is indeed worthy of being a person who has left a strong mark in history, and he is good at judging the situation and grasping opportunities!
Thinking about this, he said to the crowd:
"It's all gone!"

Everyone stood up and bowed their fists together:
"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of the handsome tent.

At the same time, Dorgon sat on the first seat in the Tartar commander's tent, with a dark face and no eyes.

Doduo walked up and down the tent irritably, sighing from time to time.

After a while, Duo Duo stood still, looked at Dorgon and asked:
"Old Fourteen, you have an idea! The soldiers seem to be very afraid of the new firearms of the Ming army! It's a big taboo for military strategists to be timid before fighting!"

Hearing Duo Duo's words, Dorgon punched hard on the armrest of the chair.

Gritting his teeth, he said:

"Hey, who would have thought that the firearms of the Ming army are so sharp and terrifying! If the threat of firearms is not resolved, this battle will be difficult!"

Hearing Dorgon, who is known for his resourcefulness, frankly said that this battle is not easy to fight, Duoduo froze in place.
