Chapter 1056 Decisive Battle of Daling River (5)
Haoge knew that with his own strength, it would be difficult to defeat Gao Huan's army.
After the Japanese soldiers on the southern front failed to attack, his confidence was hit again.
At this time, he could only place his hope of turning the tables on the Korqin Mongolian cavalry.
Now, as long as he disrupts the formation of the interfering army before the Mongolian cavalry arrives, he can still win.
Although cavalry has gradually become auxiliary troops with the development of firearms, if the cavalry seizes the opportunity, the results achieved by the infantry are not comparable to those of the infantry.
On the battlefield, as long as the infantry front is loose and the cavalry is raided, the result will definitely be disastrous.
Even if they were elite troops, they would have the only life to escape at that time.
But now it was noon, and Gao Huan's formation was as stable as an old dog, forcing Haoge to attack the main formation.
At this time, the Qing army's order flags were waving, and the infantry covered the artillery team and moved forward slowly!
Under the Ganjun Daqin, Du Yinxi reminded: "Your Majesty, Haoge's artillery team has moved!"
Gao Huan saw the Qing army artillery team advancing forward under the escort of the spear formation and sneered: "I have predicted Haoge's actions! He is going to attack my central army!"
After Haoge asked the Japanese soldiers to attack the Ganjun camp, Gao Huan had already sorted out Haoge's ideas and predicted his actions.
"Haoge, far worse than his father Huang Taiji and Dorgon!" Gao Huan mocked him and waved his hand: "The artillery team is ready to knock down his artillery formation!"
The Qing army's artillery team advanced three miles away from the Gan Army, and hundreds of artillery were lined up.
The artillery of the Gan Army several times the Qing army was arranged in three rows at the top of the hillside.
The range of the military artillery was farther, and it was located on the top of the slope, so it first fired and bombarded the Qing army artillery group that was in the low position.
Haoge stood in the middle, looking at the Qing army artillery formation forward with a serious expression. At this moment, balls of white smoke rose up in the Gan army artillery formation, and then the sound of "boom boom boom" came over.
Hundreds of artillery shells shot straight from the top of the slope towards the Qing army's artillery formation, splashing up the mud, smashing the guards' Qing army over.
The artillery shells of the Gan Army were as dense as hail. The Qing army gunners hurriedly set up artillery, and the artillery commander shouted loudly, "Hurry up! Fight back!"
The Qing army, which had just set up artillery, immediately ignited the lead line. The Qing army's artillery array rumbling, and nearly 100 shells were rapidly fired at the Ganjun formation group. Mud columns splashed among the infantry line.
At this time, in front of the Qing army, a team of cavalrymen rushed to Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming and saluted, "Report to the two princes, the regent, to let the two princes press towards the enemy's main formation."
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming looked at each other, then turned their heads and saw the Eight Banners soldiers lined up neatly and bayonets like forests.
Although there was a little fear in their eyes, they knew that it was time to fulfill their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.
Shang Kexi said with a calm face and said loudly: "Tell the Regent that I have already known the military order!"
Geng Zhongming raised his horse whip and said, "Our general charges to the death and defeats the enemy's formation!"
The cavalry heard the words, bowed and pulled out the horse.
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming looked solemn, and Shang Kexi said: "Old Geng, instead of being humiliated by Gao Huan, why not just tell me here!"
Both of them knew how powerful the infantry lined in the military line were. Gao Huan had never lost when he was shot.
On the southern front, there were already Japanese generals who were desperate to seduce the stomach. Their chances of winning were naturally very slim when facing the main force of the army.
Geng Zhongming pulled out his sword, "Damn, I'm fighting with Gao Manzi today!"
"Check the equipment and prepare for attack!" Geng Zhongming roared angrily with his sword.
Among the Eight Banners of Han, a trumpet was sounded, and each Niulu quickly checked the soldiers' equipment. The Eight Banners soldiers lifted the flintlock rifles from the ground and carried them on their shoulders. They could only press on the Gan Army with one order.
At this time, waves of whistles sounded in the army, and the sound of drums and music in the Qing army formation were beaten up. The Qing army, which were stacked in a row, stepped forward one after another.
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming looked at each other, then went to the back of the soldiers in the formation and followed the Qing army line to advance.
The two wings of the infantry were lined up online, and the Han cavalry led by Wu Sangui followed slowly to cover the infantry line and advance forward.
At this time, the artillery battle between the two Qing armies continued, and the battlefield was full of heavy smell of gunpowder and a faint smell of blood.
Shang Kexi rode a horse and followed the infantry line. In front of him were bayonets like a forest. In the thin smoke in the distance, the layers of dry army line lines appeared and appeared on the opposite hillside.
A shell landed in front of Shang Kexi, killing a Qing army. The shell tore the body of the Qing army to pieces and landed on the ground. The soil splashed. Fortunately, the ground was muddy, and the shells smashed into the mud and did not jump up, causing secondary damage.
The two armies of the Ganqing army fired artillery for a round of fire. After a few rounds, the Ganjun suppressed the Qing army's artillery formation with numerical advantage.
After several rounds of fire, the Qing army's artillery formation was filled with overturned cars, rolling artillery, and pounced artillery soldiers everywhere.
When the Gan Army artillery team saw the Qing army's artillery formation, they gradually silenced, so they aimed most of the artillery at the approaching Qing army's infantry line.
There were many artillery artillery among the military, and hundreds of artillery teams were smashed in one round, causing a riot on the Qing army's front.
Shang Kexi was startled, his whole body tightened. He had been a prince for many years and no longer had to charge. Now that he was back on the front line, he realized that he was no longer the cruel person who dared to put his head on his waist.
Under the Ganjun Daqin, Gao Huan observed the Qing army with a thousand-mile mirror and pushed over, "I didn't expect that the Qing army's musketeers recovered so quickly after the Battle of Lushun!"
After observing, Du Yinxi said, "Your Majesty, the Qing army is very brave. He dares to line up the infantry and attack our front! What is their reliance?"
Gao Huan used a thousand-mile mirror to scan the front Qing army and found a man in the middle, with equipment completely different from that of the Qing army.
These people were wearing Cheng Liang's plate armor and holding flintlock muskets, and shining silver under the sunlight.
Du Yinxi also discovered this special army, "Did it rely on the Xihe Musket Team?"
Gao Huan put down the Qianli Mile Mile and shook his head, "This Western-Air Musket Team has only more than one thousand people. In the battle of hundreds of thousands, it will be of no use!"
Du Yinxi said: "What confidence does Haoge have to shoot against our army? In terms of gun volleyball wars, we have never lost!"
Gao Huan sneered repeatedly. He had already seen through Haoge. "It's very simple. Haoge did not expect the infantry in the Han Eight Banners to defeat me. Perhaps what he wanted was the defeat of the Han Banners!"
Du Yinxi was confused when he heard the words, but Gao Huan was full of confidence. "Haoge's goal is to disrupt my military formation. If he was defeated by the Qing army, or pursued the Qing army, it would cause chaos in the main formation. As long as I stabilize the central army in this battle, Haoge will undoubtedly be defeated."
