Chapter 495

The Mongolian cavalry did not attack the horse stump foolishly, but rushed to the gap in the middle. Although one team had only one or two hundred horses, they aimed at all the gaps at the same time.

However, the outcome was painful. The five or six meter long long long Ge was aligned in front of the line. At a distance of 100 meters wide, the infantry could not break through. The cavalry also hit their heads and blood. In addition, there were archers behind. Even if the charging Mongolian cavalry braked in time, they still lost thousands of horses.

However, this time, more than a hundred soldiers were killed and injured, but this result made a group of Mongolian leaders no longer willing to charge. Obviously, they were not stupid. They knew that such recklessness was almost like killing.

In this regard, Haug was also helpless. He asked the infantry to try again from several other places, and they had to withdraw.

The next day, Shang Kexi finally arrived with hundreds of red cannon. Without delay, Huang Taiji immediately focused on one place.

For a time, the rumbling sound resounded through both sides of the Yellow River. The momentum of the red cannon was really earth shaking, but the destructive power was far less terrible.

There are no walls in the camp. The fist sized bullets hit the soft mud. In addition to splashing some soil, they scared the nearby people into a cold sweat. Hitting the tent can make a big hole, but what's the use?

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Qin army were really frightened and avoided the artillery everywhere, because the people hit by the shells were terrible, but later it was found that few people were hit, and the threat was not as good as those archers, so they gradually became bolder.

Seeing that the red cannon, which had always been invincible, could not play much role, Huang Taiji's face finally became ugly and worried.

Because judging from yesterday's war, if they want to forcibly break through each other's stronghold, the price they can't afford.

But there was really no other means except cannons, so let Shang Kexi push the cannons closer and launch shrapnel for another try.

After all, he also saw that the red cannon fired solid bullets to attack the city is really a sharp weapon. It can be used to attack this stronghold without even a wooden fence, but it has little effect.

The Second Corps also has an artillery battalion with more than 100 Fran machine guns. The reason why they didn't fight back at the beginning was that the range was not enough.

Now, seeing that the tartar pushed the cannon up, the red warbler immediately ordered the artillery battalion to push the cannon up to fight back.

Tartar's red cannon fired loose bullets, targeting the infantry behind the anti horse pile, while Qin's cannon fired solid bullets, targeting the other party's red cannon.

With the roar of artillery, the Qin army was indeed hit by the shrapnel fired by the red cannon, with heavy casualties and running around, because no shield, helmet or door plate could stop the shrapnel fired by the red cannon.

But before long, it was gratifying to be unable to carry it, because small bullets fell near the red cannon like raindrops. From time to time, artillery cars were smashed and Gunners were beaten.

The firing speed of the Frankie cannon was far beyond that of the red cannon. In addition, the distance was close. After losing more than a dozen artillery cars and thousands of kilograms of artillery fell to the ground, it was gratifying that it had to order to retreat.

Because it suffered too much, firing solid bullets from a long distance could not cause much real damage to the other party. Firing loose bullets from a short distance was also the live target of the other party's Fran machine gun.

This makes Huang Taiji's head big.

For seven days in a row, the Tartars ran out of means. Whether it was the eight flag warriors who took the lead in the attack, the sneak attack at night, or the detour from the beaches on both sides, all of them were defeated at the expense of their troops.

On the contrary, the Qin army is more courageous. If it is only the charge of Han and Mongolian soldiers, there is no need for reinforcements at all. It can be blocked only by the soldiers of various towns on the first line of defense, and it is also comfortable.

Obviously, the recruits of the Qin army were growing rapidly and began to adapt to the battlefield fighting environment. At this time, the red warbler was full of confidence. Although the other party had more than 100000 troops, she would run if the other party's cavalry were not too hateful and could not win. She even dared to go out of the camp and fight with the other party and kill him.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally saw the idea that the red warbler was unwilling to stick to it, so he had to pour cold water on her from time to time to calm her down.

In fact, from his insight, he can see that if the two sides really fight face-to-face with gongs and drums, no one will run. Even if the Tartars have more than 100000 cavalry, it is not certain who will lose and who will win.

After all, the strength of those Han soldiers is too low. With the current combat effectiveness of the Second Corps, once in the field, they will be defeated at one touch, which is only a little stronger than the 100000 young soldiers.

Huang Taiji is not a fool. Naturally, he can see this.

Nearly 10000 Han soldiers, more than 3000 Mongolian soldiers and more than 200 eight flag warriors died in the war. Although this casualty was nothing to the army, he also completely died of the idea of a strong attack.

Han soldiers die a lot, they are prone to mutiny, and people are in turmoil. He is reluctant to give up the eight flag warrior. Mongols die a lot, and they will also be divorced. They come to make money, not to die.

As the Late Jin Dynasty, when the nomadic tribes started, Huang Taiji knew the temperament of the Mongols and could win over or deter them. However, in this situation, they must not die in vain.

"Mr. Hong, now the situation is somewhat unfavorable to our army. It's really not the best choice for the army to continue to drag here. Do you have any good strategies to break the enemy?"

Huang Taiji really had no choice but to place his hope on Hong Chengchou, and called him into the big account alone.

In fact, Hong Chengchou didn't have any good way, because it was a Yang scheme. Qin Huan was sure that the later Jin Dynasty was short of food and grass, so he couldn't defend it. Generally, there are only two ways to break the situation. One is to fight with each other to see who can't hold on, and the other is to divide troops.

The former was safe and the latter was very risky, but Qin Huan occupied the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. It was a joke to fight for consumption, so he said, "emperor, now he has no choice but to divide his troops."

Huang Taiji frowned slightly. After seeing the combat power of the Second Corps, he was seriously lack of confidence in unifying the world. He was also more cautious about dividing troops to the south, but he also knew that Hou Jin had no way back. Even now he withdrew his troops and returned to Beijing, Qin Huan would soon wave troops north. At that time, I'm afraid there was no other way except to the Great Wall, And he was worried that even if he retreated to the Great Wall, people would not give up.

After hesitating for a long time, Huang Taiji finally nodded and said, "then divide the troops. Let Prince Rui command the elite of 580 banners, 100000 Mongolian cavalry and 50000 Han soldiers, cross the river south to Kaifeng, and the infantry and cavalry north of Xuzhou withdraw to Daming mansion."

"The emperor is wise!"

Hong Chengchou hurriedly said, but he was surprised. Obviously, he guessed that Huang Taiji had serious lack of confidence in the war, and he also saw his intention.
