This Qing is wrong

Chapter 93 The Artillery That Ended War Elephants

bang bang bang...

Puff puff……

The sound of fierce impact and the sound of flesh being crushed and penetrated once again overwhelmed the screams of the soldiers of the Qing army.

Not surprisingly, the second formation didn't last long before the entire anti-cavalry formation fell apart, and the disintegration speed was not slower than the first formation.

Even if the number and speed of the Brahman war elephants attacking the second large formation were far inferior to those when they attacked the first large formation.

This is the debuff brought by the drop in morale.

The soldiers of the Qing army in the second formation witnessed the impact of the Brahmin war elephants. When facing the charge of the Brahman war elephants, many Qing army green battalion soldiers trembled with their spears in their arms.

If it weren't for the Qing army's strict military ranks, which would chop off people's heads at every turn, it is estimated that the second Qing army's anti-cavalry formation would disintegrate before the Brahmin war elephants charged over.

However, the collapse of the second large formation still caused a lot of losses to the Brahmin war elephants who had no sense of self-protection.

Especially the Brahmin war elephants in the front row were not only shot down by the volley of firecrackers, but also hit the anti-cavalry formation, and the Brahmin war elephants rushing in front were almost wiped out.

They are completely using their own corpses to break the formation!

Many spearmen of the Qing army were not killed by Brahmin war elephants, but were crushed to death by the corpses of war elephants.

Therefore, the speed of the Brahmin war elephants that broke through the second large formation had to drop by another level, and the number became even smaller.

At this time, less than half of the Brahmin war elephants were still alive, because the way the Brahmin war elephants rushed into the battle was too wild, and there were only a few of them who were actually injured and survived, so the number of Brahmin war elephants being treated was very small.

At this point, in fact, the tactical goal of the Qing army to delay the Brahman war elephants from entering the camp has been perfectly achieved.

The Qing army not only reduced the charging speed of the Brahmin war elephants, but also used the Qing army's rout to disperse many Brahmin war elephants, making the number of Brahmin war elephants charging forward became less and less.

And those Brahmin war elephants who scattered into the camp to hunt down the defeated Qing army, once they were far away from the large army, were often "hunted" by small groups of Qing troops who came from other places.

These Qing soldiers did not get close to the Brahmin war elephants, but fired at the Brahman war elephants from a distance.

Basically, after one or two rounds of shooting, the Brahman war elephant will be completely dead, even if the distance is far away.

That is to say, the Brahmin war elephants that dispersed to chase down the routs would be 'disposed' by the Qing army sooner or later.

This is the limitation of the system enemy army. Even if the intelligence attribute is slightly improved, there is still an insurmountable gap between them and the real living army.

A few simple tactics are enough to disperse and consume the systemic enemy forces that have been twisted together.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Brahman war elephant, the Qing army could greatly reduce the battle losses it had paid.

Because of this, the real threat to the Qing army of the war puppets summoned by the demon Taoist Li Changqing lies in the unknown number and number of summons, rather than the combat power of the war puppets themselves.

Of course, this is the opinion of the top Qing army. To the soldiers of the Qing army at the bottom, war puppets are still very scary.

However, considering the tactical and strategic aspects of the high-level Qing army, the threat of the demon Dao Li Changqing was greatly reduced, provided that the number and number of war puppets summoned by the demon Dao Li Changqing were limited.

The most important thing is to be able to catch the heels of the demon Taoist Li Changqing.

For example, the current Shang Keai didn't worry about whether those hundreds of war elephant puppets could be wiped out by his side.

What worries him is that so far, there has been no news of the fall of the highland from his subordinates, but the demonic Li Changqing can still hide around and throw war puppets!

Shang Keai didn't understand where the demon Li Changqing was hiding.

Or can Li Changqing, the demon Daoist, cast summoned war puppets from the air without checking?

If Li Changqing, the demon way, had this ability, it would be terrible!

"We can't sit still like this, Li Changqing, the demon Taoist, cannot possibly have the ability to summon from the air, he must be spying on the army camp in a way we don't understand.

I ordered that all the cavalry be sent out, and the camp be the center to carry out a carpet search. We must find out that little gang of the demon Daoist Li Changqing!
This is related to the pacification of the Chaozhou Rebellion.

The life and death of Li Changqing, a monster, is the root cause of the suppression of this Chaozhou rebellion. "

In the commander's tent, the gunfire outside did not affect the military discussion here at all, the generals above the rank of lieutenant general are all gathered here at this moment, listening to the old general Shang Keai talking nonsense...

In order to boost the morale of the army, Shang Kei firmly insisted that Li Changqing, a monster, does not have the ability to summon and control war puppets from a distance.

However, many senior generals of the Qing army present were very disgusted with Shang Keai's order.

It was easy for him to send all the cavalry out to search with his mouth when he gave the order.

But when the cavalry below executed it, they complained a lot!

This kind of carpet search is of no benefit to the Qing cavalry, not to mention bitter and tiring, and it may not be fruitful. Who the hell wants to run outside every day?

However, at this time, the war puppets of the demon Taoist Li Changqing were storming the barracks, and when they made a move, there were hundreds of war elephants that would not appear in Guangdong Province.

Even if many senior generals are not happy in their hearts, they have no way to raise objections at this time.

You can't let the demon Taoist Li Changqing throw waves of puppets here.

God knows how many war puppets can be summoned and dropped by the demon Taoist Li Changqing.

This Qing army is the main essence of the Qing army in Guangdong Province. They cannot fail, otherwise, except for Guangzhou City, other state capitals will fall into the embarrassing situation of having no soldiers to use.

Is it possible to count on the three classes of yamen servants in various places?
Oh, Zao Li can't be counted on. The only ones in charge of fighting are the strong class and the fast class, that is, the two classes of yamen servants...

While Shang Keai spits at a group of high-ranking Qing generals, the Brahmin elephants meet their ultimate enemy.

Rows of black muzzles were aimed at the brainless Brahmin war elephants who charged. At this time, the charging team, apart from those who were scattered and killed, only more than 100 Brahmin war elephants were still on the battlefield, heading towards the Qing army camp. The artillery positions on the inner circle of the ground rushed in.

Under the sound of drums and the waving of command flags, the Shenwei Invincible General's cannon fired first, and the solid shell was extremely poorly aimed, but as soon as it was hit by a solid shell, the Brahmin war elephant immediately lost its combat power and turned into useless rotten meat all over the place .

Not long after, Weiyuan general guns, sub-cup guns, and muskets with shorter effective ranges also opened fire. For a while, there were rumbling gunshots on the battlefield, completely covering more than 100 Brahmin war elephants in gunpowder smoke.

The battle came to a successful conclusion when the last of the Brahman elephants fell under a close-range volley from the Kamui Invincible General's cannon.

That's right, more than 100 Brahman war elephants were all killed under the guns of the Qing army!

Thanks to Longhushan Zhang Luochen for rewarding 100 starting coins.
