On a small slope on the other side of the Yellow River.

Li Zicheng, along with Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Zuo Maodi, Liu Zongmin and other civil and military officials, were climbing high to watch the battle.

However, in addition to the civil servants and generals of Dashun, there was also a big man wearing a Mongolian leather robe next to Li Zicheng, who seemed out of place with the civil and military officials of Dashun around him.

This Mongolian man is the second brother of Batur Hutaiji, the leader of the Junggar tribe, Choros Chechen.

The Choros family is also an ancient family in Mongolia. It is almost as famous as the Golden family. There have been a large number of powerful figures in history, such as Mahamu, Ye Xian, Tuo Huan, etc.

Although this Chechen is very young, he is also a powerful person.

This time, under the orders of Baturhui, he led 3,000 camel cavalry to form an alliance with the Dashun Congress. Firstly, it was to defeat the slaves who coveted the throne of the Mongolian Communist Party. Secondly, it was to spy on the reality of Dashun and make preparations for the future use of troops.

Be prepared.

Obviously, Baturhun's mind is still very clear and he knows that Dashun will become a threat to Junggar in the future.

Of course, for the Junggar tribe at this stage, getting rid of the rule of the Oirat leader Guoshi Khan is the top priority.

By the way, in another world line, the leader of the Oirat Alliance, the National Advisor Khan, had already submitted a petition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, instead of offering homage to the Manchus, the Khan of this world wanted to compete with the Manchus for the title of co-leader of Mongolia. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Junggar to send 3,000 camel cavalry to join the alliance.

Taiji Baturhun of the Junggar tribe also wanted to take the opportunity to expand his influence, so he readily agreed to send troops.

However, even Baturhun himself did not expect that the 800 camel revolving guns he asked Chechnya to bring to Hetao to participate in the battle would have such a big impact on the war situation.

When he saw Jiannu's front team suffering heavy casualties under the barrage of eight hundred camel cannons, and then turning around and fleeing, even overwhelming Jiannu's rear team, Li Zicheng was shocked beyond words.

Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Liu Zongmin and other Dashun civil and military officers were also shocked and remained silent for a long time.

It turns out that cannons are used in field battles and are so sharp?

The top brass of Dashun Army felt that their understanding of field battles had been refreshed.

When the Dashun Army fought against the Ming Army and Jiannu before, it was not like they had never encountered artillery.

Even the Dashun Army imitated many cannons, but their effects seemed to be very limited.

The main reason is that it is too bulky and extremely inconvenient to move. It is just fine for siege, but not enough for field battles.

Because the enemy is not blind, let alone stupid, he will rush forward stupidly after seeing your cannon.

As long as the enemy changes location or even changes direction, it will be difficult for heavy artillery such as Hongyi cannon or Folan cannon to play their due role.

This does not mean that heavy artillery is completely unsuitable for field battles.

However, a lot of preparation work and deception often need to be done before the war, which is very troublesome.

However, Junggar's camel swivel gun seems to have circumvented all the shortcomings of heavy artillery.

In terms of pure lethality, Junggar's camel revolving gun is far from comparable to the Hongyi cannon equipped by the Ming army and Jiannu. It is not even comparable to the Ming army's Folang machine gun, and is stronger than the tiger squat cannon.

a little.

However, the camel swivel gun has a huge advantage over the Hongyi cannon and the Folang machine gun. It is extremely light and can be mounted on the back of a camel to follow the infantry. This is very powerful.

Imagine infantry supporting artillery in the seventeenth century. What is this concept?

At this time, other countries did not even have real field artillery yet, but the Junggar army already had infantry support artillery, which was outrageous.

In another time and space, the Junggars, with a population of less than 700,000, fought against the Manchu Qing Dynasty with a population of 200 million for seventy years. The Camel Rotating Gun, an excellent infantry support artillery, played a major role in this.

Seeing Jiannu fleeing in all directions, Gu Junen couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Chechnya.

The camel revolving cannons of the Junggar tribe are so sharp. Once the Dashun Dynasty and Oirat are at odds with each other and the two countries go to war, will the Dashun army be able to withstand the camel revolving cannons? I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand them.

Thinking of this, Gu Jun'en was immediately anxious.

The emperors and ministers of the Dashun Dynasty were really frightened by the power of the camel revolving gun in the field.

However, Gao Yigong, the general of the rear camp who was commanding from the front, Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, had already taken advantage of this opportunity to lead the main force of the rear camp to launch a fierce attack.

However, Gao Yigong was still very strict in running the army, at least much better than Li Guo.

Even after launching a fierce attack, the 40,000 infantrymen in the rear camp still kept their formation intact, like waves, rushing towards Jiannu's main formation one after another.

Jiannu's front and back troops have collapsed.

Now as long as they can defeat Jiannu's main formation in one fell swoop, they will win the battle of Hetao.

However, no one cheered, no one even showed joy, no matter Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Gao Yigong or other Dashun civil and military officials, they were all shocked.

…

Looking at the Dashun infantry rushing towards them like a tide, Huang Deheng felt secretly frightened.

Huang Deheng was originally the captain of Zhengbai Banner's vest Badahai. Because he saved Badahai's life in the Shanyang Battle, he was lifted up after his meritorious service and became a bannerman of Zhengbai Banner's Han army.

In the decisive battle of Hetao, the Eight Banners and Han troops came out in full force.

By the way, the strength of the Eight Banners Han Army was restored to 20,000.

Moreover, the 20,000 Eight Banners Han Army had been transformed by Dole into an all-firearms unit, with 6,000 people in the artillery battalion, and the remaining 14,000 people were all musketeers.

However, only half of the musketeers were equipped with flintlock muskets.

The other half of the musketeers were still equipped with captured bird guns or Lumi guns.

Huang Deheng used a flintlock gun, and he fell in love with it after just a few test shots.

"The front team kneels down!" Zhengbai Banner Han Army's real stone pillars galloping past the front of the formation, shouting loudly, Huang Deheng and the 14,000 musketeers who lined up knelt down one after another.

The next moment, the rear artillery battalion took off its camouflage, revealing a majestic red cannon.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Put!" followed by roars, followed by a continuous loud noise of "Peng Peng Peng Peng".

Huang Deheng did not look back, but he could clearly feel that the ground beneath his feet was shaking, and his eardrums were about to be deafened. Two hundred Hongyi cannons fired at the same time, and the noise was too loud.

When I looked up again, I saw the earth splashed all over the grassy beach by the cannonball, and the splashed mud was still rapidly extending towards the Yellow River, pulling out mud puddles on the grassy beach, like

A huge iron rake was plowing rapidly across the grassy beach of Junzijin.

The mud puddles quickly extended to the front of the puppet infantry formation, and then they dived into it.

The next moment, wherever the mud ditch passed, the limbs of the puppet soldiers' infantrymen were broken and they fell to the ground. In just this moment, at least a thousand puppet soldiers were killed or injured.

…

On the other side of the river, on top of the hill.

"This is..." Li Zicheng said in surprise, "Hongyi Cannon?"

Song Xiance also shouted in disbelief: "When did Jiannu's Hongyi cannon arrive?"

"It was probably brought here quietly while it was dark." Gu Jun'en said, "After all, Guihua City has been surrounded by everyone, and the defenders in the city are unable to monitor Jiannu's movements at all times."

At this time, Chechen talked a lot in Mongolian.

The Mongolian interpreter next to him immediately translated: "The Chechen master said that the reloading of Jiannu's Hongyi cannon is very laborious, so the time interval between firing is very long. At most, with two cannons, the Dashun army can rush to Jiannu's artillery.

In front of the position, at that time, we can achieve a one-sided massacre of the artillery of the slaves."

"This is reasonable." Gu Junen deeply agreed.

Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others also felt a little relieved.

…

Chechnya's estimate of the rate of fire of the Hongyi artillery can be said to be accurate.

When the Jiannu Hongyi artillery fired the first row of shells, the puppet infantry was still about 1,500 meters away from the Jiannu artillery position. However, by the time the Jiannu artillery fired the second row of shells, the puppet infantry was already within 700 meters.

When the Jiannu artillerymen were about to fire the third row of shells, they had no chance.

Because the puppet infantry has already approached within 100 meters.

This distance is already smaller than the minimum range of the red cannon.

By this time, Jiannu's red cannon had basically become a decoration.

However, in addition to the red cannons, the Jiannu also had the musketeers of the Eight Banners Han Army.

"Front team, get up!" As Shi Tingzhu and other Eight Banners Han Army Gushan Ezhen roared, Huang Deheng and other 14,000 musketeers from the Eight Banners Han Army stood up one after another.

"More rounds, take turns to play!" Shi Tingzhu and others continued to roar.

The two thousand musketeers in the first row, including Huang Deheng, raised their flintlock rifles at the same time and aimed their muzzles at the pseudo-shun infantry in front of them. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only fifty steps (about eighty meters).

.

"Fire!" Accompanied by the roars and gestures of the eight Gu Shan'erzhen, Huang Deheng and two thousand other musketeers simultaneously pulled the triggers of their flintlock rifles, and immediately there was the sound of gunfire.

After firing the gun, Huang Deheng immediately retreated to reload according to his usual training.

The second row of musketeers quickly moved forward, aimed their guns again, and then pulled the triggers.

Then there was another loud banging sound, and another cloud of gunpowder smoke spread from the position. The light became even worse, and it was almost impossible to see the pseudo-submissive infantry coming from the opposite side.

Immediately afterwards, the third row of musketeers came forward.

Then the fourth row, the fifth row...
