Chapter 53 Chaos Battlefield (1)

"These cannons are good, but unfortunately, Jiannu put these cannons in the wrong position." Li Xin swept the official road and finally shook his head and said.

"Did you put it in the wrong position?" Everyone was stunned.

"Architecture needs protection, and it is best to use cavalry to protect it, or put it in the camp to block the cavalry. These guys have set off cavalry around now, but once Dorgon's army attacks, these artillery will no longer have any protection in front of them. Look, Yue Tuo and others, if they want to rescue these artillery, they must open the gate again, pass through the road in front of the camp and then launch an attack on the invading enemy. In this way, the speed of the attack will slow down. If I have a powerful heavy infantry, I can block that road, and see how he can come out. The artillery that has lost the protection of the cavalry can be destroyed by wavering." Li Xin said, waving the horse whip in his hand.

"What the lord mean is that we will attack the artillery after Dorgon attacks?" Ju Tu's eyes lit up.

"That's right, but it still needs to be calculated properly." Li Xin thought for a while, glanced at the crowd behind, and called He Bin and said, "Brother, do you know that Shi Dayong?"

"I met one time when I was in Jinzhou." He Bin thought for a while and said.

"Go to see him and tell him what's going on here, Humph, if you want to survive, you have to cooperate." Li Xin's voice was very calm, but He Bin shivered. Li Xin said it very clearly. If you obey, you can survive. Otherwise, he would not care about Shi Dayong's survival. He quickly turned his head and went to look for Shi Dayong without mentioning it.

"Lord, I think Shi Dayong will not be willing to cooperate." The sentence suddenly flashed with triangular eyes and said.

"Hmph, we are a wild path, and they are regular soldiers, so naturally they will not be willing to cooperate." Li Xin also nodded. This is why he occupied the righteousness.

"Look, lord, Dorgon's army has been dispatched." Gao Meng pointed to the foot of the mountain and said. Sure enough, he saw the flag in Dorgon's hand waving, and thousands of cavalry slowly pressing forward. And in the distance, a group of people slowly came, a black mass. Only the "Ming" flag in the head fluttered in the wind, and it can be seen that the head was a strong man holding a big knife in his hand, like a demon god. I guess that was Shi Dayong.

"It's really a powerful general." Li Xin nodded and soon shook his head again. Such a powerful general cannot be valued and can only lead two thousand people to die. This may be the sorrow of the powerful generals of this era! Perhaps Shi Dayong also understood this truth, but he still came.

"Lord, Dorgon launched a charge." Gao Meng pointed to the foot of the mountain and said.

"Then we must prepare too." Li Xin sighed and said, "Let your brothers prepare torches. As the charge is over, throw them over. Even if they cannot destroy their red cannons, they can scare them." Li Xin has also seen the red cannons in Jinzhou City. At this time, the shells were not used as warheads like later generations. They do not deny that the red cannons are well-cast and powerful. Compared with traditional Chinese firearms, from the "modulus" followed by the casting of red artillery guns, the "cannon table" when casting, the equipment of auxiliary facilities, the diversification of shells, and the distance of ranges.

(The range can range from 2-4 kilometers). It can be seen from the high intensity of the explosion that its power is really amazing. But its limitations are not small, such as being good at siege and being poor in field battles, let alone defending the city. The loading and firing rate is not high. The gun body is bulky and cannot quickly transfer the position. Therefore, in field battles, you can only bombard the target at a fixed point before the war begins. When the opponent's situation reverses, you often cannot react maneuverably. For example, in front of you, Li Xin dared to attack the opponent's artillery position after the opponent starts a war because of the performance of the red cannon.

After launching shells, such artillery must be cleaned up on the one hand, then loaded gunpowder, ignition materials, shells, etc., and then calibrated. However, not only has low effectiveness, but more importantly, the speed is not good. No matter which link, it takes a lot of time, and the cavalry's raiding speed is also available. Therefore, the long time of loading gunpowder is enough to make the cavalry come to the fore.

Although the Qing Dynasty had a traitor Tong Yangxing, who helped them make red-clothed cannons and other firearms, and the number was gradually approaching the number of firearms in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the limitations of artillery at this time determined that on the battlefield, the one who dominated the victory or defeat of the war was not the one who dominated the battle. Of course, it was the exception in siege.

It was because Li Xin was attracted by this that he dared to seize food from these red-clothed cannons after Dorgon's attack. In Jiannu's mind, the role of the red-clothed cannons was exaggerated because after all, the red-clothed cannons that year killed Haci. But Li Xin was different. He deeply understood the weakness of the red-clothed cannons in front of him, so he directed his elite soldiers to pounce on the red-clothed cannons without hesitation.

In the distance, a strong man with a ferocious face held a long sword in his forehand, and looked into the distance with cold light. This person was Shi Dayong, the guard of Songshan. Beside him, two thousand elite soldiers held a spear in their hands, and did not move at all, as if the Jiannu was killed from afar, like a native chicken and a dog. However, He Bin's face showed a hint of worry.

"Major General He, are you sure that Li Xin will come out?" Shi Dayong said softly with his steel knife tightly.

"That's natural. Brother Li won't deceive me." He Bin said without thinking.

"It's not that I, Old Shi, don't believe this person. It's not a simple matter to destroy Jiannu's red cannon. Dorgon himself was difficult to deal with between the two armies. In the camp behind him, Yue Tuo and Ajige were all people who had been through battle formations. Li Xin's move was to seize food from a tiger's mouth!" Although Shi Dayong showed a hint of worry on his face, he was not afraid. He led the army here and had never thought that he could go back alive.

"Okay, since that's the case, I, Old Shi, will bet with the Major General." Shi Dayong laughed and said, "Then there are only hundreds of people around Li Xin who are not afraid of death. I, Shi Dayong, have two thousand Changping soldiers. Are you still afraid of death? Brothers, raise your weapons and kill Jiannu and attack."

"Kill Jiannu." Two thousand soldiers held the spear in their hands and walked forward with great strides. While walking, there was a shout of killing in their mouths, with a rainbow of momentum, and there was no fear on their faces. The murderous aura filled the entire position, and a murderous aura filled the sky and the earth. Two thousand soldiers took neat steps and picked up the spear in their hands. The spear head was shining coldly. At this time, He Bin discovered that this team of infantry was different from other infantry. The spear in his hands was several feet long, and its length was far above a regular spear.

"General, this spear?" He Bin asked in surprise.

"Haha, you can see it too?" Shi Dayong said proudly: "These spears are specially made, so-called one inch long and one inch stronger. Although Jiannu has cavalry and is extremely fast, he is born to be the nemesis of our infantry. Although we infantry cannot keep up with the opponent in speed, if we can kill the opponent before the opponent rushes up, we will not be afraid of their cavalry."

"Attack." Shi Dayong did not dare to neglect. He waved the long sword in his hand and saw the long spear in his hands pointing directly to the sky, killing forward step by step. The huge military formation formed a hedgehog at this moment.

"The Ming army actually took the initiative to attack?" Dorgon was very surprised. He looked at the Ming soldiers who were slowly walking in the distance, and a hint of gloom appeared on his face. Although many Rgons were not as good as Li Xin in terms of military strategy, they were still people who had been through the battlefield for a long time. They could see the mystery of this battle formation at once. I am afraid that his cavalry would attack the other party, and the other party's spear and spear stab him to death.

"Fourth Brother, what should I do now?" Duoduo also saw clearly.

"Hmph, infantry is infantry, and they are always inferior to cavalry in speed." Dorgon turned his eyes, and soon shook his head, and said disdainfully: "No matter how sharp their spears are, they cannot compare to our cavalry." Dorgon said without thinking. His eyes were sinister and glanced around. He quickly found the flaws of the gun array.

"Doduo, you lead a team of cavalry, from the front, I lead a team of cavalry to attack from the right." Dorgon pointed to the whip and said to the infantry opposite: "Their infantry is very powerful and these spears are also very sharp, but their sharpness is on the front. If we charge in the front, we will definitely suffer a lot, so we can only charge from the side and send orders to Yuetuo and Ajige, so that they can cover the official road with red cannons. In this way, Shi Dayong will be afraid.

Fearing the artillery in front of us, and at this time, we started charging from both wings. No matter how powerful the other party is, they can only retreat. We will follow their butts and chase them, and they will definitely be able to kill them. "In fact, Shi Dayong's square formation is similar to the ancient Macedonian square formation, which makes himself like a hedgehog, but the weakness of this square formation is the left and right wings. Dorgon soon discovered that the weakness of this square formation is also extremely rare.

"Yes." Duoduo quickly sent an order not to mention the slave behind him, and led a team of cavalry to kill from the left, while Dorgon led a team of cavalry to kill from the right.

"No, Brother Shi, change the formation quickly." He Bin also noticed that Dorgon changed the formation and quickly said to Shi Dayong.

"Don't worry." Shi Dayong saw clearly, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his face. He was flawed with his own battle formation. Although he had always wanted to make up for it, unfortunately, he had no chance at all.

"The brigade is divided into two parts to deal with the cavalry." Shi Dayong had no choice but to send orders to the personal soldiers around him. With a command, the brigade of cavalry was instantly divided into two parts, one on the left and one on the right, and also holding a spear to face the enemy.

"Boom! Boom!" At this time, waves of roar came, and dozens of light appeared in the air, and they rushed towards Shi Dayong and the others.

"No, it's the red cannon." Shi Dayong's face changed, and he turned pale, looking at the sky tightly.

"Ah!" Before Shi Dayong ordered the soldiers under his command to hide, he heard screams. Nearly a hundred soldiers standing in front of him instantly turned into ashes, and large pits appeared in front of him. Blood was pouring in the pit, broken limbs and broken arms were sprinkled all over the ground, and waves of wailing sounds came.

Before Shi Dayong could react from the pain, he felt the earth tremble and saw countless soldiers wearing white armor rushing towards him.

"Giant Shield." Shi Dayong seemed to have thought of something and shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers in front of him raised their round shields and formed a huge guardian formation, which was used to protect the enemy's cavalry. Sure enough, a burst of roars were heard on the position in an instant, and the sky was covered by bows and arrows. Although there were shield protection in the Macedonian formation, some people were still shot by bows and arrows, and they were still wailing. Shi Dayong, who was riding on the horse, looked gloomy and his heart was dripping blood. Although he was ready to die in the battlefield, the soldiers who came to rescue were carefully selected, and they were all people without family burdens, but at this moment, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw these men being shot to death and injured.
