The tense He Renlong even lost his temper at the messenger. When Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi led four thousand soldiers into the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner station, He Renlong's heart began to hang. In the worst case scenario, from the perspective of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, five thousand soldiers would be able to complete the combat mission if there were no special circumstances or mistakes in arrangement and deployment.As the vanguard commander, He Renlong also has his own strengths. It is possible that Chahar Right Wing Central Banner has made all preparations. This is expected. Before the offensive begins, He Renlong can only hope that Li Dingguo can With better luck, the task is completed quickly, but the fact is not as imagined.

It didn't take long for Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi to lead [-] soldiers to rush into the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner camp, but this period of time, in He Renlong's view, was extremely long. I couldn't bear it anymore.

The messenger finally reported the good news. The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion had rushed out of the station of the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner and retreated in the predetermined direction, and there were a large number of Mongolian Tartars chasing after them.

This news means that the lure mission was successful.

He Renlong wiped his forehead, which was covered with beads of sweat.

"The order goes on, all the soldiers are ready to meet the retreating soldiers, and we must ensure that all the soldiers retreat safely."

The lure plan was successful, but it didn't mean that all the tasks were completed. How to make Liu Wenxiu, Ainengqi, Li Dingguo and the soldiers retreat unscathed, this also needs to be carefully grasped.

He Renlong became much calmer. The five thousand soldiers were ready, and their flintlock guns were fully loaded. Once Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo led the soldiers to withdraw, they would shoot.Stop the Mongolian Tartars who are chasing behind.

Chinese military account. [

Su Tiancheng's expression remained calm, and the messengers came to report the news many times.

More than half an hour has passed. According to the plan, it should be time for the artillery battalion to act, according to the previous arrangement.There were some small deviations, but they did not affect the overall situation. Su Tiancheng felt that through the first battle on the grassland, the Jiangning Battalion had learned experience, that is, the Mongolian tribes were all ready.Knowing that the Jiangning Battalion has come to the Mongolian grassland and is about to launch an expedition on the grassland, under such circumstances, the next battle will have a more complete deployment.

This is not a bad thing, despite the loss of the Jiangning battalion.Might be bigger.

At Chenshi, Liu Tiehan personally reported that the Mongol Tartars had entered the precise strike point of the artillery battalion, and the vanguard led by He Renlong had basically withdrawn.

Su Tiancheng quickly issued an order.

The deafening sound of cannon came out.

A hundred general cannons started to roar, and countless cannons smashed at the Mongolian Tartars.

It was already bright, and the surroundings were still covered with snow.And there are still snowflakes in the sky, seeing the falling snowflakes getting bigger and bigger, it seems that another big snowstorm is coming.

Su Tiancheng raised his binoculars, but he couldn't see anything, he could only see more and more dense snowflakes.

He had already left the tent of the Chinese Army. From the moment the artillery started to fire, he continued to wait for news in the tent of the Chinese Army. This did not conform to Su Tiancheng's thinking, even though he always seemed very calm.

Thinking of continuing to move forward, he could see the situation on the battlefield.But Qu Qingze stopped him, including Wu Rong and other guards, who were also not allowed. Wang Dazhi left Su Tiancheng's side and specifically instructed Wu Rong and other guards.Su Tiancheng cannot be put in danger.

Su Tiancheng also has no good solution. The Jiangning Battalion has developed to the present and has an army of tens of thousands. The deployment and planning of operations, as well as specific combat tasks, must be implemented by someone.

He Renlong could see the power of the artillery very clearly.

The flintlock guns played a role. The Mongol Tartars chasing Liu Wenxiu and others tasted the power of the flintlock guns. When the sound of large-scale gunfire rang out, they also paid great attention to it. They slowed down the speed of pursuit slightly, mainly relying on bows and arrows With the power of the gunshots, it shot in the direction where the gunshots sounded.

The purpose of He Renlong was not to use the flintlock gun to cause lethality to the Mongolian Tartars, but to allow Liu Wenxiu and others to evacuate safely. Therefore, the firing distance was very far, and the flintlock gun could not cause lethality at all. deterrent effect. [

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, and Li Dingguo, including many soldiers, all understood this arrangement. They had to evacuate as quickly as possible, and it was time for the artillery to fire. Combat deployment will have a huge impact.

The process of getting rid of the Mongolian Tartars is not very complicated. Taking advantage of the time when the Mongolian Tartars hesitated and slowed down, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion suddenly exerted their strength and evacuated at the fastest speed. However, in the eyes of the Mongolian Tartars, such an evacuation was Just run away.

This place is not far from where the Mongol Tartars are stationed, and some Mongol Tartars even laughed out loud, thinking that the well-known Jiangning camp was nothing more than that, and they escaped in such a mess.

It's a pity that the arrogance of the Mongol Tartars soon turned into a disaster.

After years of experiments and improvements, the red-clothed cannon owned by the Jiangning Battalion is no longer the red-clothed cannon in the sense of the past. When fighting in an open area, the role of the red-clothed cannon is decisive, and it can almost eliminate the use of cavalry and infantry. Striking out, basically destroying the opposing army.

Huang Taiji knew the power of the Jiangning camp's artillery, so when the Jiangning camp fought against the Houjin Tartars, because of the Houjin Tartars' vigilance and complete preparations, sometimes the artillery could not play a decisive role, but they could fight on the grasslands. This is not to say that the Mongolian tribes are arrogant, and there are also reasons for their backwardness. For today's technology, they have disapproval, even resistance, and always believe that their own power is the most powerful.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This truth is absolutely true.

When the dense cannons exploded, the tragic scene soon appeared.

Some of the enlightened Mongolian Tartars didn't even know they had escaped. The war horses had never heard such a loud noise, and they became restless.

The snowflakes falling in the sky turned red and yellow-black, the color of blood and earth.

The commander of the Mongolian Tartars was stunned by the sudden artillery fire, and he didn't even know that he ordered the army to retreat.

The guns kept falling and exploding, and a large number of Mongolian Tartars fell, and they didn't even have time to dodge. They had never seen the power of the artillery, and now they finally experienced it for themselves. Unfortunately, it was the last chance to experience it.

He Renlong could see clearly, he was not far from the ambush site and could barely see everything.

The vanguard suffered a lot of losses, and the casualties have not yet been counted. He Renlong, who was gnashing his teeth with hatred, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene in front of him. I don't know why the Mongol Tartars are so stupid. Spread out to dodge, but concentrate more, thinking that the concentration of troops can resist the artillery? Isn't this a joke? The more concentrated the personnel, the greater the power of the artillery. This is not a fight between cavalry, the concentration of troops , being able to take care of each other, the concentration at this time means death to a greater extent.

He Renlong didn't even lose his anger. He just felt that the Mongol Tartars were very pitiful. They didn't know how to retreat or evacuate under the artillery fire.

Under such circumstances, there was no need for such a brutal fight. After the artillery stopped firing, the army launched a general attack. The sergeant of the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner must have collapsed and would not have the strength to continue to resist.

The time for the artillery to fire is half an hour. After half an hour, the army will launch a general attack to completely wipe out the sergeants of the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner. What Su Tiancheng wants is to be clean and tidy, to make dumplings, and no escaped Mongols are allowed. Tartars, when the artillery started to fire, [-] soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion had already surrounded the Mongolian Tartar soldiers who were shrouded in artillery fire.

The artillery finally stopped firing.

The artillery for half an hour completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Mongolian Tartars. Some Mongolian Tartars who escaped the artillery fire rolled off their horses and knelt on the ground, chanting words, forgetting that they were on the battlefield.

The general attack has begun.

The rumbling drums sounded, and the grassland began to tremble.

The [-] troops that had already been prepared rushed towards the Mongolian Tartars like a tidal wave. . .

In less than a quarter of an hour, the fighting stopped.

The Mongolian Tartars completely lost the ability to resist. Except for a few commanders of the later Golden Tartars, who were about to fight, they were quickly killed. The rest of the Mongolian Tartars gave up resistance. Some Mongolian Tartars still knelt on the ground , muttering words.

Su Tiancheng appeared on the battlefield.

The guide asked the captives of the Mongolian Tartars why someone was kneeling on the ground and murmured something. After getting the answer, Su Tiancheng shook his head with a wry smile. It turned out that some Mongolian soldiers had never seen such fierce artillery fire. They thought it was the fire of heaven, and God punished the tribe. They lost their fighting spirit and dared not resist.

Unexpectedly, the Mongolian Tartars' understanding of artillery was so backward. Su Tiancheng couldn't believe it. He vaguely remembered that the grasslands were very resistant to advanced weapons. Hundreds of years later, the Mongolian grasslands still had no advanced weapons and productivity. It is very backward, and in many places, people still rely on primitive farming and hunting.

Seeing all this with his own eyes, Su Tiancheng believed it and became more confident. The possibility of the Jiangning Battalion sweeping the prairie is entirely possible. When the tribes in the prairie understand the power of artillery, these tribes will lose the ability to resist.

The sergeants of the Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner were all wiped out. Except for more than 4000 people who surrendered, the remaining 6000 people were all killed. More than [-]% of them were killed by artillery bombs. The loss of the Jiangning Battalion was not very big. , Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, and Li Dingguo led the [-] vanguard troops, and more than [-] people died in the battle. There is no statistics on casualties for the time being.

After the entire battle, the Jiangning Battalion lost less than a thousand soldiers. (to be continued...)
