Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 330 Bombarding Dorgon

Hauge, the Prince of Su, and Obai, the number one warrior in Manchuria and the commander of the guards, are now Dorgon's only hope.

He brought thousands of soldiers and horses, including thousands of soldiers in the artillery battalion, counting there are more than 1 people.Three hundred red cannons were his last line of defense, backed by mountains.As long as the Ming army can be blocked here, Hao Ge and Aobai's two groups of troops will attack behind, and then he will lead a counterattack with thousands of troops, and the final victory will still belong to them.

Although the casualties were heavy, such an ending is also ideal. After all, it is not easy to win a battle, especially it is even more commendable to be able to defeat the powerful opponent Lin Yi.

Thinking of this, Dorgon became more and more eager for news about these two teams.

Waiting for time is the most difficult thing, because time is too strange.The more you wish for it to pass faster, the slower it will be, so slow that it is heart-wrenching.But sometimes you think it is too fast, and it is absolutely futile to keep it. It often slips away like a thief inadvertently.

At this time, Dorgon's mood can be as fast as a year. It has been two days now. Why is there no news? Is there any accident?
Dorgon calculated this time, no matter what, there should be a reply, but the Ming army did not respond at all.

Impatient with Dorgon's waiting, he had already sent three teams of scouts to investigate, and when he was about to send the fourth team of scouts, someone came to report that Prince Su Haoge was defeated!The commander of the guards, Oboi, was defeated!
Dorgon, Sony and the others couldn't believe it. Both armies were defeated?How much they hoped that Tanma reported the wrong news, but then several groups of Tanma came one after another, and the content of the report to him was exactly the same, and some reported to them in detail.

Dorgon, Sony and others were stunned. The battle between Prince Su and Obai was full of twists and turns, and the Ming army came to help at a critical moment. How could it be such a coincidence?Is the sky going to kill my Qing Dynasty?

It seems that there is no disappointment in this battle at all, and Dorgon's face is full of frustration.

Soni bravely came over, "My lord, retreat quickly for the present plan, save your strength, retreat to Ningyuan, send people to the capital, and ask the mother to send reinforcements."

Dorgon knew that what Sony said was the most reasonable words, and now the only way out is to retreat. This battle is a complete defeat, and there is no room for maneuver.

But Dorgon was still a little hesitant. He, the regent, had just taken office for less than a year. He planned to use this time to enter the Central Plains, make a name for himself, firmly consolidate his position, and let the faction of Prince Su Hauge oppose him. The people who are here look at you with admiration, so be alert.

But I didn't expect that the first battle of Shanhaiguan was a failure, and more than half of the 10,000+ soldiers and horses were lost.

If that battle could still find an excuse for himself to explain, but now the Huanggutun battle has failed again.

The Ming army had no dangers, and there were no surprise attacks.The two sides started a field battle under fair conditions, and he also brought in hundreds of red cannons, breaking Daming's advantage in firearms, and there was no reason to fail again.

However, after losing a series of disastrous defeats, losing troops and losing generals, and losing his reputation, how can he save his face?How to explain to Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang?Those kings, Baylor and Beizi, especially the opposition, will definitely despise themselves even more.

The more Dorgon thought about it, the more ugly his face became.

At this time, Prince Su Hauge and Aobai led the remnants of the defeated army back.

The two knelt in front of Dorgon to plead guilty. Dorgon really wanted to kill them and punish them, so he gave them more than 2 horses. Within two days, only more than 100 people came back.

The loss of soldiers and generals of these two partial divisions is still second.Because this person is still nothing compared to the extent to which he lost soldiers and generals on the frontal battlefield. 2 Green Battalions, 2 Eight Banners, and more than 1 Han troops.Man Dahai, Yue Le, Tong Yangjia, Kong Youde, and Wu Sangui were all killed in this battle.

The losses of this battle are immeasurable.

He was a little annoyed, and a little angry at others.

Another more important point is that these two people are his opponents, and they are the benchmark figures in his opposition.Hauge, Prince Su, is Dorgon's main competitor, and Ao Bai, the commander of the guard, is a strong supporter of Hauge.

It was because of their opposition that Dorgon did not sit on the throne.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of their defeat, it is justified to get rid of these two powerful political opponents, and this opportunity is once in a lifetime.

But he can't.

Because Dorgon is not just a strategist, he is a politician.He saw the situation very clearly, if he took the opportunity to get rid of Hao Ge and Ao Bai, he would lose two political enemies, but he would lose two capable helpers.

Although Daming existed in name only, it was still their greatest enemy.Especially Ji Dong, who can deal with it?The enemy is at present, without Hauge and Aobai, it is equivalent to losing his right hand.

For the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji and his own status, it is still clear which is light and which is heavy.

Thinking of this, Dorgon asked the two of them to get up with a sullen face, without even saying a word of reproach, but he made an astonishing decision: not to withdraw his troops, and continue to fight the Ming army to the death.

Such a decision won the strong support of Hauge and Ao Bai. While grateful for Dorgon's kindness, the two even regarded Dorgon as a god.Because at this time the two of them were connected with Dorgon's illness, they were both furious and wanted to fight Ji Dong to the death.

Even counting the artillery and the remnants of the defeated generals, Dorgon's men can now fight more than 1 horses, and the rest is counting on these 300 red cannons.

Sony thinks that Dorgon is too restless, and at this time, if he continues to fight, it will be tantamount to humiliating himself.He wanted to persuade him, but seeing that Dorgon couldn't listen, he had no choice but to give up.

At this time, the Ming army launched a large-scale charge. Countless Ming army soldiers, with cavalry in front and infantry in the rear, rushed forward like a mountain of soldiers.

Dorgon withdrew all the troops and let the artillery fire.

Booming, three hundred red cannons roared like thunder, and shells exploded in the Ming army's charging team. The ground shook and the mountains shook, and the smoke filled the air.

A Ming soldier was blown off a leg during the charge, but he continued to run until he couldn't run anymore, fell to the ground, and continued to crawl forward, dragging a long bloodstain behind him , dyed the grass and land under your feet red.

A Ming army cavalry was charging, a shell landed in front of the horse, and exploded with a bang.

The galloping horse neighed in fright, braked suddenly, and its front hooves stood up as high as a person, and I was thrown down by the Ming army immediately.

When this Ming army got up from the ground, his face was covered with blood.But he ignored it completely, wiped it with his hand, and ran forward with a knife and gun like a painted face in an opera.

A shell landed in the middle of the four charging Mongolian generals, and with a bang, the four charging Mongolian generals were all blown away.

When the four fell down, they all fell into a pool of blood, and three of them lay motionless on the ground.

The remaining one climbed up from the ground, covered in blood, holding a knife, stepped on the blood of his companions, and continued to rush forward over their corpses.

Ji Dong frowned from behind and ordered "retreat".

The Han generals and the Mongolian generals were puzzled, "Why do you want to retreat, my lord? Our army's morale is high, and we can kill all the Manchu Tartars with a single charge."

Lin Yi said: "You can't let the brothers be cannon fodder for nothing, let the artillery battalion prepare and confront them, and see if the Tartars' cannons are better, or our cannons are better."

Ji Dong's artillery battalion has already arrived, and now there are hundreds of cannons. If you don't use it now, let alone when.

Although the soldiers of the Ming army under him and the Mongolian coalition army are all brave and fearless, you can't let them make unnecessary sacrifices. Wouldn't that be a disregard for human life?
Lin Yi gave an order, and the charging troops of the Ming army withdrew like an ebbing tide.Even so, there were casualties everywhere.

Immediately after receiving the order, Ji Dong's artillery battalion began to deploy artillery...

Dorgon saw from a high place that the Ming army retreated so quickly, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, haha, the Ming army was so vulnerable in front of the red cannon The violent bombardment, when not to charge at this time?
The Dorgon people believed that the Ming army was blown back by his cannon, so this was the best time to charge.

Therefore, with an order, nearly [-] Qing troops, including Tartar cavalry, traitors, and green battalion soldiers, roared and chased and killed the Ming army.

And this time Dorgon charged again in person, and he took the lead in wielding a broadsword.Beside him, apart from his personal guards, there were Hauge, Obai, Sony, Xihan, etc. on the left and right.

These princes and Tartars went to the battle first, which greatly boosted their morale. Seven or eight thousand cavalrymen of the Qing army rushed forward like mountains and seas, intending to disperse Lin Yi's troops in one go.

"These bloody Tartars, do you really think we have lost? They are still chasing and killing them, my lord, wait for the subordinates to kill them." Liu Zhaoji said.

"And us!" The Mongolian soldiers in Bashan and Bahrain asked to fight back one after another.

Lin Yi smiled: "No, continue to retreat, the artillery battalion deployed artillery on the spot, he bombarded us just now, and now we are returning the capital with interest!"

The Ming army continued to retreat, and Dorgon took the lead in pursuing and killing.

Unexpectedly, at this time, after the Ming army retreated, row after row of red cannons were exposed.

"ignition!"

The commander of the artillery battalion gave an order, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who had been pushing the cannon forward, stopped pushing and started to light the cannon immediately.

"Chi Chi Chi, Boom Boom Boom Boom..."

When Dorgon and the others saw the black muzzle, they felt fooled.But it was too late at this time, shells exploded in front of and behind them, the earth shook again, and the smoke filled the air.

The Qing army was immediately blown to pieces and fell to the ground one after another.The horses of the Qing army jumped up and down, running everywhere, and there was a great chaos.

At this time, a shell landed on the flank of Dorgon's horse, and with a bang, Dorgon collapsed to the ground with his horse and men.

"Protect the lord!" Suo Ni, Aobai and the others were astonished, rushed over with their troops, rescued Dorgon, who was covered in blood, turned around and ran, and the Qing army retreated.

This is Lin Yi's order to charge again, and the Ming army rushed to the Qing army again like overwhelming the sky...
