1683 Counterattack
Seeing that he was frustrated, Bumubutai hurriedly comforted him and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to underestimate yourself! As long as we are united, we can still overcome the difficulties!"
Dorgon said, "I can only hope this is the case! Forget it, you can rest with peace of mind. I'm afraid I won't care about you these days! I guess Liu Pei will launch a large-scale attack in the next few days!"
Bumubutai said with concern: "I don't know what the situation is now? If you are in a dilemma, you can ask Korqin for help!"
Dorgon said: "I have already compiled a book and sent it to the Korqin tribe, and asked them to send some more people! However, the Korqin tribe has already produced 60,000 troops, and I'm afraid there will be not many people to be transferred!"
Bumubutai said, "Don't worry, prince, they all know the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold! If the Qing Dynasty collapses, the Korqin tribe will probably not survive! Let's do this, I will write another letter to urge you!"
Dorgon nodded in agreement, comforted Bumubutai and turned around and left the palace. There were still a lot of bad things outside the palace waiting for him to deal with!
The first thing Dorgon had to face was the rumors in Chenyang City and the military camp! This was something he had to suppress. If the rumors were passed on, the morale of the military would be destroyed! So as soon as he left the palace gate, he arranged for people to catch the rumor and cause trouble! If the circumstances were serious, he would be executed on the spot! But the rumors were just transferred from public to underground. But on the surface, at least the army had settled down!
But three days later, as Dorgon guessed, Liu Pei urged the army to start attacking! He then acted like a decisive battle and began to line up. The first one to set out was the infantry phalanx, followed by the artillery troops. The cavalry guarded on both wings and pulled out a very wide front, which seemed to be flattening the Qing army camp in one fell swoop!
But Liu Pei was not in a hurry to attack the Qing army. He wanted to force the Qing army to take the initiative to come out of the camp to fight him so as to give full play to his own firepower advantages. So he used artillery outside the camp to bombard the Qing army's camp!
The distance of more than one mile and the artillery is a little far away, and the accuracy is not very high! But the area of the Qing army camp was placed there and the attack was made.
There were definitely a lot of shells in the camp! There were also many shells hitting the walls of the village, and the spectacular scene of wood chips flying everywhere made Liu Pei and the officers very excited! When they thought, if the red flowers continued like this, the Qing army would be unable to bear it sooner or later to go out to fight them!
But in the Qing army camp, Dorgon, dressed in military uniform, was listening to reports from several officers. Dorgon said, "Are you ready to say so?"
Several officers nodded repeatedly. Dorgon slapped the table and said, "Then let's do it! Also notify the teams that are preparing to attack to be prepared!"
It turned out that Dorgon had already judged the direction of Liu Pei's attack. Because no one would attack the city when the main force of the enemy still existed, then Liu Pei would definitely attack the south side of the Qing army camp. So in the past few days, Dorgon concentrated all the artillery in the city to the south side of the camp!
Now a large number of Shandong soldiers escorting artillery have actually entered the range of Qing army artillery! If nearly a hundred artillery fired at the same time, they will definitely be caught off guard by the Shandong soldiers!
After several officers left the tent, Dorgon also came out and climbed up the building next to him and looked south. He wanted to see if this battle could be won!
A moment later, a stream of blue smoke suddenly appeared from the Qing army camp here in Shandong! Because they could not hear the sound of cannons for a while, they saw the smoke suddenly rising from the Qing army camp and thought it was a fire inside!
Before they could be happy, they were shocked! Because they arrived with the sound of cannons, dozens of solid shells! These shells made layers of blood waves in the team of musketeers! Wherever the shells passed, they either broke bones or were filled with sorrow!
When Liu Pei saw this situation, he came to see the ghost coins and said furiously: "Dorgon is really treacherous! He probably concentrated all the artillery in the camp! He ordered the soldiers to scatter a little, the formation was too dense!"
But when the order was not yet conveyed, the second round of shells hit again, causing a bloody storm among the crowd again!
Shandong soldiers and horses are indeed very resilient and disciplined! But no matter how strict the discipline is, they cannot tolerate the bombardment of artillery for a long time!
The soldiers already had a look of panic on their faces!
Liu Pei frowned when he saw this situation. He knew that the soldiers would not be able to cut them off for long under the bombardment of artillery fire and had to make a quick decision! So he thought quickly for a moment and said: "Tell the soldiers on the front line to allow retreat, but the speed should be slower, and the two wings should be slower! Let the soldiers shoot with one more hand, and you must attract the enemy's artillery attention to them!"
Then he turned his head and said to him: "Once the soldiers on the front line retreat, the Qing army will definitely send cavalry to pursue him! I want you to send cavalry out, but there is no need to intercept them, and hedge against them! At the same time, the infantry on both wings will quickly move towards the starting point of the cavalry!"
Yang Jingfa said seriously: "I understand. I will turn around and attack the Qing cavalry with the infantry as soon as possible, and try to eat them!"
Liu Pei said with a grim smile: "That's right, that's it. I want to eat the cavalry on their wings so that they dare not go out of the camp easily! I know this is difficult, so try to do it!"
Soon, the Central Front infantry, who had been enduring artillery, began to slowly retreat! Seeing this scene, the Qing army was extremely excited! They thought that they had repelled the other party with their firearms, and they could no longer hold on!
But they did not see that the central front retreat was relatively fast, and the infantry on both wings retreated slowly, and the entire front had turned into a crescent shape! Moreover, the infantry on both wings had been tilted to the outside, looking scared, but the formation was not scattered! At the same time, the infantry on the central front began to accelerate and retreat in a mess!
However, under the cover of smoke and dust raised by the cavalry, the two infantry on both wings quickly marched quickly to their left and right fronts! Under the cover of the cavalry, they will arrive at the starting point of the cavalry. When the cavalry hedges through the exchange site, the horizontal team of musket soldiers will appear in front of the Qing army!
