Chapter 401 Queuing up to be shot(2/2)

Huang Deheng, who was in the formation, had his sight completely blocked by the smoke.

But Dorgon could see clearly because he was at an angle from behind.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, Dorgon could clearly see the puppet infantry forming a neat and dense formation, quickly moving towards the main formation of the Eight Banners Han Army to cover up and kill them.

There were approximately 40,000 puppet infantrymen engaged in the attack.

It's very easy to count, each row has 2,000, and there are 20 rows before and after, which adds up to 40,000.

Why did Dorgon know that each row of Pseudo-Shun infantry was two thousand? The reason is very simple, because the density and width of the Pseudo-Shun infantry queue are basically the same as those of the Eight Banners and Han Army.

The formation of the main formation of the Eight Banners Han Army was 2,000 men per row.

The twenty rows of pseudo-infantry at the front and rear could actually maintain the basic integrity of their formation after charging such a long distance, and it was only slightly messy, which was enough to show that this was a truly elite force.

Compared with the battle of Shanhaiguan, the puppet troops did not retreat.

But, that’s it, the puppet army will be defeated today!

The next scene was just as Dorgon expected.

After entering within fifty steps, the musketeers of the Eight Banners and Han Army came forward in rows and fired their muskets.

Under the pouring firepower one after another from the Eight Banners and Han troops, the puppet infantry fell to the ground row after row.

Facing the firepower of the Eight Banners and Han Army, the puppet infantry reluctantly rushed forward for more than twenty steps and came within thirty steps. However, the last thirty steps became an insurmountable chasm for the puppet infantry.

The pseudo-submissive infantry rushed forward row after row, and fell to the ground row after row.

In the blink of an eye, the front of the two armies' formations was covered with dense corpses.

After about six or seven rows and more than 10,000 infantry were "shot dead", the pseudo-subordinate infantry behind them finally became afraid.

Although the officers of the puppet army were still shouting hoarsely to encourage the infantry, the infantry turned around and fled back uncontrollably. They charged knowing that they were bound to die, but few of them could persist to the end.

Seeing that the situation was over, the hypocritical officers also joined the fleeing ranks.

Seeing this, Dorgon's heart finally fell into his stomach.

However, things are not over yet, and the fun has just begun here.

At that moment, Dorgon shouted in a deep voice: "According to my decree, the Eight Banners of Manchuria will immediately return and attack! Drive the defeated puppet troops back, disrupt their rear formation, and turn their camel swivel cannon into a meaningless display!"

"Hey!" Dozens of horsemen ordered the cavalry to fly away, conveying the order quickly.

The Green Camp troops were completely defeated and completely lost their ability to counterattack, but the Eight Banners Manchuria was highly organized and could switch from attack to retreat, or from retreat to attack, at any time and under any circumstances.

After receiving Dorgon's order, the retreating Eight Banners Manchuria immediately fought back.

And this time, the Eight Banners Manchuria even abandoned their carriages and launched a counterattack with light equipment.

As a result, the entire battle situation reversed again, and the puppet army quickly turned from victory to defeat.

Moreover, there was no chance to reverse this defeat, because the retreating troops blocked the firing angle of the Camel Revolving Cannon, and the Junggar artillery had no chance to provide artillery support.

In the end, the Junggar artillery could only retreat cursing.

The Eight Banners Manchuria took advantage of the victory and pursued them, charging all the way across the shallow Yellow River.

Seeing this, the pseudo-submissive cavalry who stayed on the left and right flanks also retreated across the Yellow River.

The Hetao War, which lasted for nearly six months, finally ended with the victory of Jiannu.

After the war, the Jiannu took control of the entire Qiantao grassland, and many Tumut tribes that had originally surrendered to Dashun were forced to change their ways and rejoin the Jiannu camp.

The news reached Guihua City, and Li Yan was forced to break out of the siege.

In the end, Li Yan only led less than 2,000 cavalry to break through.

After the war, a check showed that Dashun's losses were not bad.

The rear camp had an army of 120,000 before the Battle of Hetao. In the end, there were only about 80,000 left, with a loss of nearly one-third. It seemed like a huge loss, but the old camp of 20,000 was still there.
