The artillery battle between the two sides did not end because of this, after the first round of artillery battle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The second volley of the Ming army began. This time, in addition to the original dozens of Frangi and small and medium-sized red artillery artillery that fired at the Qing army's field positions, there were four other ten-pound red artillery artillery and eight eight-pound artillery prepared. It can be said that Zhu Youlang had suppressed all his assets here, and all the artillery in the Beijing Camp was collected and concentrated to form a reinforced artillery team.

In order to concentrate firepower to the maximum extent, even the cannons attacking Yiyang have been moved over. Yiyang has only been siege for the time being, and lions fight rabbits, and fight less with more. This is also the most commonly used classic tactic.

Most of the infantry arrays of the Qing army were within the effective range of these giants, including artillery positions surrounded by soldiers in the middle camp of the enemy.

With a rumbling explosion, hundreds of artillery shells were divided into several waves and flew out in turn. More than fifty small and medium-sized artillery shells fell into the Qing army's front army formation. Then there was a continuous burst of shrill screams and moans. Hundreds of Qing army infantry could not dodge and were directly killed and injured by the artillery shells. The infantry array suddenly became a little scattered, and military academies at all levels tried their best to command and shout, and then they could barely stabilize the formation.

The real elite troops in this Qing army were only more than 8,000 Dongjiang veterans, and the other more than 20,000 were green camp soldiers. Among them were the remaining troops of the camp who surrendered, the surrendered soldiers from the four towns in Jiangbei, the local indigenous town soldiers in Huguang, and the surrendered soldiers drawn from the northern provinces. The components are very complex and are purely a temporary piece of miscellaneous army.

Needless to say, the blow to morale caused by the two setbacks since the war, the array can still be stabilized, except for the blind confidence cultivated by the "invincible" after the Manchu Tartars, the rest is almost entirely due to the full force of the Dongjiang soldiers.

In addition to the more than 50 large and small artillery artillery fired on the Qing army's infantry positions, the remaining twelve eight-pound and ten-pound artillery targets are more clear. These relatively long-range field artillery are specially used to deal with small and medium-sized artillery in enemy artillery positions based on their advantage in range.

Zhu Youlang had been trying to narrow each other's distance before, in order to cover the enemy's artillery under the effective range of the heavy red artillery artillery.

These large-caliber shells directly crossed the heads of the Qing army's front army and smashed towards the artillery positions behind them. The artillery positions surrounded by heavy troops were suddenly bombarded by twelve artillery shells, and suddenly they were overturned.

Four or five cannons were instantly smashed, dozens of artillery guards and guards were crushed and injured by iron bullets carrying huge kinetic energy. In this case, no matter how you protect them, it will be futile. As long as you are wiped by iron eggs, you will either die or be injured!

In a dignified infantry battle, they compete for hard power, and hard power is specifically reflected in the quality of equipment and the overall quality of the soldiers, whether the military discipline is strict, and whether the orders are imposed, there is no cleverness at all.

The Qing army also had a lot of heavy red and barbarian cannons, all brought by Sanshun King from Liaodong, ranging from three to four pounds to eight pounds, and ten pounds. They were well-made and their firepower was not inferior to that of the Ming army. If the artillery from Kong Youde's headquarters was added, the firepower alone would be even more than twice as high as the Ming army.

It was precisely because Zhu Youlang received a report earlier that Kong Youde was still in his late nest in Yuezhou Prefecture and did not have all his troops to fight Geng Zhongming in such a pride.

With the crazy counterattack of the Qing army's artillery team, the Ming army's artillery positions were also attacked by dozens of artillery shells. Fortunately, Zhu Youlang was prepared for a long time and did not concentrate the artillery in one place, but divided it into several pieces and hid in various military formations. When firing, he waited for the commander's orders, adjusted the angle, and concentrated the attack.

Because of this kind of preparatory arrangement, the Ming army suffered much less losses than the Qing army. Although the Qing army fired more shells, there was no clear target. It only destroyed one or two three or four-pound red artillery cannons, killing and injuring six or seven Ming army artillery guards.

There is no obvious difference between the quantity, quality of artillery and gunner's artillery technology between the two sides. The difference is only in the use of tactics.

Zhu Youlang did not underestimate the firearm strength of King Sanshun, but King Huaishun Geng Zhongming suffered an empiricist loss and seriously underestimated the firearm strength of the Ming army.

In Geng Zhongming's inherent concept, the artillery of the Ming army has always been four-pound and three-pound old artillery, with fewer than six pounds. Moreover, they do not have qualified gunsmiths, no cannon casting workshops, and no extra financial resources to casting cannons.

The only artillery in the army are some inferior products produced by the Ming court military weapon supervisors ten years ago. There has never been any updates. They have been repeatedly used for many years and are mostly seriously aging. It is good that 100% of the power can exert 50%, which can bully thieves or local bandits who don’t even have a few artillery pieces.

When Dorgon ordered the army to fight south, Geng Zhongming was confident that he could crush the vassal troops of the pseudo-Ming on firearms. In a few rounds of artillery, they could run away in all directions and scatter birds and beasts!

When they arrived in Huguang, after suffering two losses at Yingtianguan and Changde, Geng Zhongming and Monk Kong Youde Kexi and others felt that they had attached great importance to the army jointly organized by the pseudo-dynasty emperors, which were jointly organized by the Beijing Camp, the former Xiying, and the former Xiying. Unexpectedly, things went against their wishes!

As it turns out, they still underestimated the combat power of this army, including the use of firearms and equipment and tactics!

I couldn't see anything in one or two rounds, and after several rounds of volleys between the two sides.

Geng Zhongming gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and he lost more than the Ming army every time. This kind of attrition war is really not cost-effective!

After a few rounds of artillery bombardment, nearly one-third of the sixty or seventy large and small cannons that he was a treasure were scrapped. The artillery soldiers were killed and injured, and their morale was greatly weakened, and they almost lost the ability to fight back!

In addition to artillery, the infantry in the array also suffered heavy losses. In just a moment, there were one or two thousand infantry people who died under the artillery of the Ming army, and many of them brought out Dongjiang soldiers from their hometown in Liaodong!

Geng Zhongming's heart is bleeding!

Although the number of soldiers was only one-twenty-two-thirty of the total, and the main force was still there, the frustration and fear that could only stand by being bombarded by cannons but could not fight back was not something that the Qing army was full of miscellaneous cards could bear. If you were killed by cannons, most of the people who survived by chance after several shellings had become frightened birds. The military formation was no longer strict and crooked, and it could be seen that it was on the verge of collapse.

In comparison, the situation of the Ming army, composed of the Emperor's personal army and the Western Army, was much better. They either had strict training or had old soldiers who had been fighting for the rest of their lives. Although hundreds of people were killed and injured by the Qing army's artillery, the military formation was still tenaciously maintained and there was no sign of collapse.

The soldiers all knew that the Emperor of Ming was with them, sacrificing his life and living together, so the three armies used their lives and had high morale!
