However, just as Duoduo gritted his teeth and struggled, the Ming army's shelling on the left wing became more and more fierce. He turned the 125mm howitzer at the muzzle, and the shells fired were like death gods shining with light.

The charge formation of the Qing army on the left wing was no longer awkward by fierce artillery fire. When the shells fell into this dense formation, each can cause huge damage.

Why is artillery the god of war? Because he can greatly defeat the enemy's will. No one can remain calm in such an environment where artillery shells are bound to the sky.

What's more, the Qing Dynasty army that did not transfer to hot weapons, although it was not unfamiliar with artillery, the shellings they had suffered in the past were not as violent and violent as they are today.

The Qing army, which was constantly bombarded by artillery fire, could not hold on anymore, and even Duoduo's white flag could not hold on anymore. They were originally hiding behind and firing cold arrows, which was absolutely safe, but now they had to eat shells in front. The war horses sitting down were so scared that they jumped around on the ground by the loud sound of shells, completely out of control.

After the dismounted Mongolian and Han Banners rushed to the first trench, many Qing soldiers turned around and ran away under the shelling of artillery, and the cavalry in the Inlaid White Banner behind them were not interested in killing them. After a while, no matter how Duoduo suppressed them, they could not stop the momentum of defeat. It was like a dam breaking, and the defeated Qing troops rushed to escape from the artillery area like a tide.

However, the artillery of the Third Battalion was chasing and attacking the escaped Qing army continuously. The range of the 75mm howitzer was only 1,200 meters, but the range of the 125mm howitzer reached 1,800 meters.

At this time, a dense "whistle" sound suddenly sounded from the rear formation of the third battalion, and a piece of smoke filled with the sky rose from the rear formation of the third battalion.

I saw dense rockets roaring with the sound of "Yiyi" rising into the sky. These rockets rushed towards the Qing army on the right with a shrill whistling sound, and soon fell into the dense Qing army on the right.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

Explosions continued, and with the explosion, the Qing soldiers fell down like cutting wheat. At the same time, the smoke from the explosion blocked the entire right-wing battlefield, and the grass on the ground began to burn.

One hundred rocket launchers, one thousand five hundred rockets were launched at a time. The killing may only be four or five thousand people, but the smoke of gunpowder blocked the Qing army's sight, causing the Qing army to fall into great panic.

At this moment, three three-masted warships appeared on the right side of the V-shaped peninsula, and immediately targeted the right-wing Qing army and opened fire with all their might.

The side guns of the three warships combined have more than 100, and most of them are heavy cannons. Their power is definitely incomparable to the light howitzers used by the army.

The balls of light flew across the dense Qing army, directly shooting a bloody path. When the shells rushed around the pile of meat for a distance, they exploded suddenly, and the explosion of air waves could lift the human body up.

The grenades used by the naval cannons are all of them of the Engine name, with large gunpowder equivalents and fewer shrapnel. The visual effect it shows is much more violent than the army howitzer and has a large lethality. Under the air wave, no flesh shield works. If a 165mm cannon shell is shot, the Qing army within a radius of more than ten meters will be shocked to death.

The rumbling sound of cannons was like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, causing the Qing army on the right wing to completely collapse in an instant, just like the Qing army on the left wing, running back in the smoke of gunpowder.

What kind of supervising the battle? Daishan's Zhenghongqi Qing army lost control of the fierce artillery fire, and was frightened by the sudden bombardment. They turned their horses in fear and ran away with their horses.

A barbaric hunting nation is so vulnerable under the power of civilization.

"Haoge and Daishan, eight hundred meters away, were all covered in dust. They would never forget this scene in their entire lives. Nearly 80,000 troops were completely defeated under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army.

The battlefield was full of smoke. Haoge and Daishan could no longer see what was going on in their army. The sound of rockets and the rumbling of cannons were filled with the sound of rockets.

"How is it possible, how is it possible! Why does the Ming army have so many cannons!" Haoge asked with a pale face.

"Fortunately, Minggou built fortifications, and they couldn't escape. My Qing army would definitely not be damaged too much." Dai Shan was still in fear, but he was grateful.

"The Ming army on the opposite side is not something you and I can deal with... I will gather the troops and retreat immediately." Haoge's heart had no hope of defeating the Third Battalion.

Just when Haoge was about to retreat, Li Ran was paying attention to them. In the towering command car, Li Ran held a telescope in his hand to see the situation on the entire battlefield.

"Let the artillery kill the group of Tartars." Seeing the defeat of the left-wing Qing army, Li Ran pointed to Haoge and Daishan's position and shouted at the messenger.

"Yes! Battalion Commander."

After ordering, roars suddenly sounded on the artillery positions in the back formation.

"Nine hundred meters ahead, correct all the elements~!"

"Terming to the left, 930 meters, correcting the elements..."

"Four-second bomb."

"Four-second bomb..."

"Five-second bomb..."

"ignition."

"ignition……"

"ignition……"

With the roar of several commanders, the artillery loaded ammunition extremely diligently, and with a command, he lit the fuse... "Boom boom boom..."

Dozens of smoke rose from the back formation, and dense shells flew collectively to Haoge and Daishan, who were nine hundred meters away from the artillery position. Haoge suddenly looked up and saw the flying ball of light... "Ah~!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom..." Dozens of shells exploded, and when the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, there was no one standing in that area.

The ground was densely filled with broken limbs and arms, and it was impossible to tell who was who or who was, or which part was. Haoge and Daishan were gone.

A Qing army crawled out of the crater, and saw him looking around in a daze, then suddenly pounced on the pile of corpses.

"Prince Su, Prince Li..." He cried loudly and searched everywhere in the corpse. When the Qing army defeated from the front saw this scene, many Qing soldiers shouted: "Prince Su, Prince Li is dead, Prince Su, Prince Li is dead..."

The Ming army artillery behind was constantly extending its attacks, and there was no safe surname there. The remnants of the Qing army ran all the way, regardless of Prince Li Su.

Duoduo was the luckiest one. He supervised the white flag of the army to attack the left wing and retreated safely in the artillery fire. When he retreated a thousand meters away, he suddenly heard several Qing troops shouting something.

After listening carefully, Haoge and Daishan were killed by artillery fire from the Ming army.

"Die..." Duoduo was stunned. As he ran away, he suddenly became ecstatic again, and then laughed three times: "Haha, haha, haha."

"Prince Yu, what's wrong with you?" Gu Shane next to him asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, please keep your troops." Duoduo said excitedly. Once Haoge Daishan dies, will the soldiers and horses belong to him?

Although he suffered heavy casualties when attacking the Ming army just now, he only had 20,000 to 30,000 people, and he could still receive 40,000 to 50,000. In addition to the 23,000 people in Zhenjiang, he would have only 60,000 or 70,000 troops. In the whole of Liaodong, except him, there was only a blue flag of Jiergalang left.

What Huang Taiji, go to hell!

"It's just that my elder brother is still in North Korea, hey!" In excitement, Dodo thought of Dorgon again, with a little melancholy expression, but his ambitions kept exploding.

Duoduo retreated two thousand meters away, but the heavy artillery of the three warships could hit three thousand meters and were still continuously extending and bombing, but the accuracy was not so good.

In order to ensure that Duoduo retreated 3,500 meters away, and retreated seven miles in a row. Finally, he escaped from the artillery fire of the Ming army. The Ming army's artillery was able to hit so far that Duoduo's heart sank.

"The sharp edge of the Ming army in Shandong is not something that my Qing Dynasty can resist." Duoduo thoughts arose in his mind, and at this time the troops he sent began to gather defeated soldiers everywhere.

There were many Qing troops defeated from the front line. Although the bombing of the Third Battalion's artillery and rockets caused them great casualties, they were not yet at the level of injury.

The death of Haoge and Daishan made Duoduo take over the defeated Qing army with justification. News of the two princes' deaths spread quickly, bringing great panic to the Qing army, so Duoduo became the only backbone.

Just as Duoduo gathered his defeated troops, Li Ran also ordered the soldiers to rush out of the fortifications to clean the battlefield. The Qing army had retreated seven miles away, and it was very safe to leave the fortifications. The Third Battalion did not fail to fight after leaving the fortifications.

The trench was covered with wooden boards, and after cleaning the caltrops, the entire battalion rushed out of the fortification area. In order to prevent the Qing army from suddenly counterattacking, Li Ran asked the spearmen, musketeers, artillery, and rocket soldiers to prepare for combat, and the baggage soldiers and engineers cleaned the battlefield, and sent scouts to investigate the situation of the Qing army.

After Duoduo retreated seven miles away, he gathered the defeated soldiers until the evening. After counting the number of people, there were originally nearly 80,000 troops, leaving only more than 60,000.

Fortunately, most of the people who died in battle were the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han. Among the Eight Banners of Manchu, his Inlaid White Banner was the most killed, with nearly one-third of the people killed.

And Daishan's Zhenghong Banner was killed nearly a thousand times.

There were originally 65,000 people from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han, but three of them were killed in the Eight Banners of Mongolia. The total number of soldiers was only more than 40,000 left, and the Han army had more than 10,000 left.

According to preliminary calculations, nearly 20,000 people were killed in this offensive.

"Twenty thousand people changed to Haoge, Daishan's fate is worth it!" Duoduo was happy. Most of the 20,000 people who died were Mongols and Han people, and the most elite troops did not lose much.

With the addition of 23,000 people in Zhenjiang, the troops he controlled could reach 83,000. When he returned to Shenyang to recruit the Zhenglan Banner of Haoge, there would be 98,000 people. If Jiergalang was solved, that would be 103,000 people.

This is just the ideal result. The first thing Duoduo has to face is how to control the troops gathered in front of him. When he received the scout report that the Ming army was cleaning the battlefield, he had long since no intention of fighting again and ignored him.

That night, Duoduo summoned the Mongolian banner owners, as well as Gushan and Meile, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, to discuss major events.

"Prince Yu, you must rob the bodies of Prince Su and Prince Li!" A member of the Zhenghongqi started crying in the camp.

"I'm afraid it's too late. The Ming army has taken away the bodies of Prince Su and Prince Li." Duoduo said with a sad face.

"But……"

"Okay! I'll give you 20,000 people, you can grab it!" Duoduo said to the Meleezhen with great pleasure without waiting for the Meleezhen to say anything.

"This...that..." The Melee was so rude that he couldn't speak. When he mentioned the Ming army, the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became depressed, and everyone's face was not good-looking.

"Prince Yu, the Ming people are fierce in artillery and are resisting the right territorial position to guard them. We should not act rashly anymore." One of the Mongolian flag owners was frightened and lost.

If they still want to attack, their Eight Manchurian Banners will be behind them, and the Eight Mongolian Banners will not be the ones who died.

Duoduo was a little sad when he saw it. The Ming army's artillery had scared these people out of fear. He would not think about fighting any tough battles with the Ming army in the near future.

"This time, our Qing Dynasty suffered a lot, and all the flags were not established. The Ming Dynasty said that the flags were reorganized and then withdrawn to Zhenjiang." Duoduo gave the reason for the reorganization, and in fact he wanted to arrange a close confidant in each flag for control. Now he is the only one who is the Prince Yu in Liaodong, Jirgalang in western Liaoning, and the matter of Liaodong is completely up to him.

… “Battery Commander, Battalion Commander, we found the bodies of Haoge and Daishan.” Deputy Battalion Commander Qian Zhengguo ran to report to Li Ran excitedly. Li Ran was shocked when he heard this and asked, “Did you recognize it clearly?”

"We recognized it clearly. We found more than a dozen prisoners to identify them, from their clothes to their appearance." Qian Zhengguo said excitedly: "These are two pseudo-Qing princes!"

Li Ran clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we can make great contributions this time, let the Education Commission go over and check it."

"It's already being checked." Qian Zhengguo reported at this time: "The Qing army's horses were scared by artillery shells and ran around. The scouts brought back more than 20,000 horses from the front, but we didn't have that much grass."

"This is more than the contribution of killing two princes!" Li Ran couldn't help but be surprised. "Please take care of these horses, and support will come in a few days. If the forage is not shipped, you can drive these horses out of your own weeds."

The battlefield cleaning continued until the next day. The artillery bombardment yesterday killed nearly 20,000 Qing troops, of which only more than 3,000 were real enemies, and the others were Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers.

The next day, Duoduo used thunder to control the 60,000 army. At noon, the Qing army retreated directly to Zhenjiang. The retreat of the Qing army was also expected by Li Ran, and the morale of the Qing army no longer allowed them to fight again.

On the tenth day of March, Lin Yi's cavalry arrived at the landing site at the first battalion and artillery battalion. After several hours of transport, all the supplies were moved off the ship.

Also landing in together was Liu Heng of the General Staff, who would be in charge of the Liaodong occupation. Although Liu Heng was a half-baked person, he had already possessed good military talents after growing up over the past two or three years. In addition, he knew the combat methods and habits of the Shandong Army, and the assistance of other staff members, it was no problem to command the Liaodong battlefield.

Lin Yi was also very happy when he heard the great results of the Third Battalion. What excited him the most was the more than 20,000 horses he had snatched. With these war horses, the cavalry battalion could be expanded again.

"You kid is doing a good job. When the news is reported back, Zhao Yong and Wang Wenyue will definitely be so jealous that their eyes will be red!" Lin Yi laughed and patted Li Ran's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hehe, you can't stop it even if you are lucky!" Li Ran smiled proudly, and remembered the expressions of Zhao Yong and Wang Wenyue after they drew lots.
