Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 246 Azig's Defeat
Tangning suddenly used German cannons to bombard Azig after consideration.

If Azig did not choose to retreat, but continued to stay and fight against the new army, Tangning would not want to use German artillery unless he locked in the positions of Azig and a few other generals.

However, if Azig wanted to escape, it would be different. Even if Azig could not be killed, he would take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Qing cavalry as much as possible.

Because he knew that his infantry could not catch up with Azig's cavalry, and more importantly, he wanted to weaken the strength of the two white flags of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties as much as possible.

Naturally, Tang Ning could clearly understand the tricks in the court of the Qing court. He was the one who copied the pen and published the complicated relationship of some people in the Qing court in "Ming Pao", which caused a lot of trouble for the Qing court.

Although I didn't see the most desired result, it naturally deepened the grudge between some people.

Nowadays, Dorgon is in control of the government, and many people are naturally dissatisfied, but Dorgon is too powerful.

Not only his three brothers who are good at fighting, the two white flags are firmly in his hands, but there are also two yellow flags, Zhenglan flags and other flags that have some people supporting him.

Therefore, although many people are dissatisfied, they dare not express it blatantly.

However, although Dorgon's strength is very strong, it is not overwhelming, otherwise, Dorgon would have belonged to the original throne.

If it is possible to weaken the strength of the two white flags firmly held by Dorgon as much as possible, so that the strength of the other faction can narrow the gap with Dorgon, or even surpass him, this will naturally be a heavy blow to Dorgon.

The previous balance of the factions in the Qing court is broken, and many contradictions will be exposed, which is naturally very beneficial to the new army.

With such a good opportunity right now, Tangning naturally wanted to weaken Zhengbai Qi's strength as much as possible, so when he saw that Azig was about to escape, he ordered the bombardment without hesitation.

Maybe Azig has forgotten the advanced artillery of the new army, or instinctively thinks that the number of advanced artillery of the new army is very small, so he dare not use it lightly.

Now, when he was about to evacuate, he was poured into a pot so hard that he was really dizzy.

In fact, Tangning carried only eight German artillery pieces, four 105mm howitzers, two 150mm howitzers, and two 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

At this time, six howitzers were fired. Although there were not many of them, they were so powerful that they really shook the earth.

Especially the 150mm howitzer, which was not used in the bombing of Boluo before, was activated at this time, which was so terrifying that many people's jaws dropped.

Claudia and the Portuguese, feeling the slight tremor of the ground under their feet, stared at the smoke and fire rising in the distance with a telescope, which was terrifying.

What kind of shell is this?How could it be so powerful? Under such a violent explosion, let alone being hit directly, even if it is in the nearby area, it is afraid that there is no reason for it to escape.

Apart from Claudia and the others, Wu Sangui's Guanning Army who was fighting on the front line was the most shocked. All of them even forgot to fight and looked into the distance in horror.

"God soldiers, god soldiers, new army god soldiers, so scary, so scary..."

"With this magical weapon, Master Tang will surely win the world, and the life of the Tartars will not last long."

Wu Sangui also had a look of astonishment on his face. He was very glad that he had surrendered to Tangning. Otherwise, he would have been the one who faced this kind of magical weapon at this moment.

However, Wu Sangui quickly came back to his senses, and shouted: "Azig has abandoned you, under the new army's magic soldiers, his life and death are unknown, you should surrender quickly..."

In fact, without Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun's persuasion, Shang Kexi's infantry, who were abandoned, were already terrified when they saw this scene.

The will to fight was lost after being abandoned. At this time, under the threat of such magical soldiers, the generals took the lead in throwing down their weapons, and a large number of soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army who were bombed would naturally not be bombed quietly in place, and one by one they scattered and fled.

Due to their panic, some war horses even ran into them directly, and some cavalrymen who fell off their horses and did not die were directly trampled to death by the rushing war horses.

Many war horses were also affected by the violent cannonballs. Although they were not directly hit by the shells, many warhorses were still startled by such a violent and never-before-heard cannonball.

Jumping and jumping in fright, the body twisted.

Although the remaining cavalry could be called elite, many of them were thrown off their horses, especially the cavalry of Shang Kexi.

In such a chaotic scene, it is very dangerous to be thrown off the horse. If one is not good, he will either be hit by the horse or trampled to death, which is quite aggrieved.

But now, no one can take care of anyone else. Except for Azig and other generals who are protected by their own soldiers, ordinary soldiers can control so much.

However, Tang Ning didn't have that many shells to carry out a saturated attack. After the scouts reported by radio that the enemy cavalry had dispersed, he immediately ordered to stop the shelling.

Then, Tangning immediately ordered Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Iron Cavalry to go after him. Wu Sangui readily accepted the order and immediately led his cavalry in pursuit.

Tangning added some more troops to Sun Kexian, and then ordered him to lead his troops to go ahead.

And he himself led the troops to collect the surrendered troops, clean up the battlefield, and check whether Azig was killed by the shelling just now.

The final result is a bit regretful. Azig’s body was not found among the corpses of the Qing army left on the battlefield. I don’t know if he really escaped, or because he was killed by the bombing, his subordinates transported his body away, or It was blown to nothing.

But no matter what, the harvest of the new army is still very good. In addition to killing many Qing troops, they also harvested a lot of luggage and supplies. Because the Qing army fled too hastily, most of their things were discarded.

Soldiers cleaning the battlefield also found a coffin, and only after opening did they realize that it contained Boluo.

It seems that in order to escape for their lives, the Qing army could no longer take care of the dead Boluo, and the dignified Baylor was directly thrown into the barren mountains.

Tangning didn't make things difficult for the surrendered troops, but after chatting with a few of them, he resumed their positions and asked them to lead the surrendered troops to follow the army. Naturally, they were grateful and rushed to organize the army.

The reason why Tangning was tolerant towards these people was after consideration.

Of course, these surrendered troops cannot be killed at once, as the impact would be too bad.

But if you want to take care of them, you will not only have to allocate troops, but also provide food, which will consume your own strength invisibly.

If they are allowed to act together with the army, they can not only give them a chance to serve their own side, but also set an example for the surrendered troops who continue to stay in the Qing army camp.

As for fearing that they might get distracted and cause some sabotage, Tangning didn't worry too much unless these people were out of their minds.

Of course, this policy was only for the Han army who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. If they were real captives of the Qing Dynasty, Tangning would not be so overbearing.

A small number of Manchu captives captured alive, as well as the wounded, were immediately sent to Lishui County by him.

After dealing with these matters, Tangning immediately led a force of about [-] troops and continued to march towards Ying Tianfu.
