    Seeing the battle reaching a stalemate, Dorgon shook his head slightly.  Although today's battle was fought one after another, and both sides tried their best, they still fell into the same situation as before, and no one could do anything about the other.  At this time, Dorgon started to make plans.  Should we continue fighting like this for a while and then withdraw our troops?  Then return the main force to Liaodong, unite with Sony's troops, and defeat the Han army that came to help first?  But in this case, Shanhaiguan will face a situation of siege.  Even if the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan in Liaodong are conquered, it will be difficult for the Qing army to enter through Shanhaiguan in the future, and they will still only maintain a world outside the customs in the future.  Even when Wu Ni's dynasty established a foothold, they could continuously train new armies, and the Qing Dynasty would gradually fall into a passive situation.  After all, the Central Plains Dynasty still had a vast territory, abundant resources, and a large population!  But then throw in the elite Qing troops to win today¡¯s decisive battle?  Not to mention whether he is sure of winning.  Even if they did win, it would be a miserable victory.  If the Qing army wins, they will at most capture the city of Beijing, and then there will be no extra troops to control more places.  So, Dorgon is full of trouble now, and he can't think of a good way out for the Qing Dynasty.  It can be seen from this that today's Daping army can just draw, while the Qing army can lose if it draws.  However, this is also a characteristic of the war between the nomads outside the Pass and the Central Plains dynasty. The war potential of the two sides is not of the same order of magnitude.  As for the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which have been defeated miserably for decades, it can only be said that it is only a matter of days.  But just when Dorgon was hesitant, the Daping Army suddenly began to switch from defense to offense.     obviously.  Xue Yongli today is not satisfied with the tie result.  Therefore, after withstanding the Qing army's attack, he decisively changed his deployment.  Xue Yongli mobilized an assistant from Yang Rusong's Huhou Town, and concentrated all the regiment-affiliated artillery of the rear troops into the artillery team.  The artillery team gathered more than 50 artillery pieces, and Ma Shouying's more than 6,000 cavalry were used as cover to form a battle group.  It is necessary to force a breakthrough from the center and attack the Qing army's center again.  So when the phalanx in the middle of the Daping Army moved aside to reveal the attacking troops, the Qing soldiers who were dazed by the stalemate were immediately stunned.  Some of the more optimistic Qing generals were overjoyed that the Han army on the opposite side finally came out of their turtle shells again.  There is hope for the victory of the Qing Dynasty again.  But some experienced Qing generals felt their hearts sink.  During the first attack of the Daping Army today, two troops rebelled in front of the formation, and this time it was an abnormal attack.  So what new tricks do they have up their sleeves?  And when he saw the Daping Army suddenly switching from defense to offense, Dorgon was also refreshed.  In any case, this also broke the deadlock on the battlefield.  So Dorgon immediately asked the Qing army in the middle to prepare for defense and withstand the attack of this Daping army.  And sent orders to the left and right wings.  Let the Qing troops on both wings wait until the Daping army rushes deeper.  Immediately and quickly cut off the retreat of this Daping army and strive to surround it.  There was sudden silence on the battlefield, and the attention of all the soldiers on both sides was focused on this battle group.  Around this battle group, both sides are also redeploying, and the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield is getting stronger and stronger.  And when the battle group advanced seven or eight hundred steps away from the Qing army, they suddenly stopped.  The phalanx soldiers in front of the artillery team also squatted down, and the artillery that had been loaded with ammunition was fired immediately.  ¡°Boom, boom, boom¡ª!¡±, more than fifty artillery pieces were all fired towards the defensive position in the middle of the Qing army.  The oars and carts used as cover in front of the formation were immediately blown to pieces.  Artillery shells plowed through the Qing army's formation, and the Qing army in the middle was immediately in chaos.  The gunners of the Daping Army did not care at all to observe the effect of shooting.  They continued to load ammunition quickly.  He used the fastest speed and completed the entire loading process against the clock.  "Boom, boom, boom¡ª!", the second round of salvo started again.  Then came the third round.  After three rounds of artillery fire, the Qing army in the middle could no longer hold its position.  The intensive firing of artillery produced an effect ranging from quantitative to qualitative changes.  Such shocking "ploughing" immediately defeated the Qing army's confidence.  The Qing soldiers who were still alive in the middle all ran away from the shooting range.  No one dares to stay in this shadow of death zone.  The Daping Army's artillery cluster shooting began to show its power again.  Faced with such an artillery threat, the cavalry on both wings of the Qing army did not hesitate to launch an attack.  They formed a formation six or seven hundred steps away, and began to try to successfully charge the formation again and completely eliminate the Daping Army's artillery.  But this battle group of the Daping Army was already prepared.  After three salvoes, the artillery was divided into two groups and the muzzles were turned to the left and right.  Before the Qing troops on both wings could complete their formation, the artillery began to fire in clusters again.  And the shells that covered it knocked down the Qing cavalry on the left and right wings.    After suffering a sudden loss, the Qing troops on both wings immediately retreated.  They wanted to withdraw from the range of the artillery and form up again, and they did not dare to do anything under the gunfire anymore.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Dorgon also began to concentrate the Qing cavalry in the middle to launch a three-sided siege on the battle group.  While the Qing army¡¯s attention was focused on this prominent battle group, the Daping Army¡¯s phalanx in the rear also began to quietly move forward.  This time, the Daping Army's phalanx did not line up in a straight line, but tilted up on both sides, forming an arc, which vaguely protected the protruding battle group.  Xue Yongli attacked again, which was not only an act of fighting for the initiative on the battlefield, but also a "winner's hand".  Xue Yongli's tactical intention was very clear, which was to use this "unreasonable" attack to disrupt the Qing army's rhythm and attract the Qing army to attack this battle group, thereby disrupting the Qing army's deployment.  They also mobilized the main force of the Daping Army to besiege the Qing troops who were attacking the battle groups.  Fight chaos against chaos, and use well-trained Daping troops to defeat the Qing army with varying combat capabilities.  To be honest, this not only shows the strong offensive desire of Xue Yongli and other Daping Army generals, but also reflects Xue Yongli's strong adventurous spirit and courage to take risks.  However, the commanders of the two armies still did not expect that the cluster firing of the artillery team would cause such great results.  Dorgon, who was not very familiar with the power of artillery, could forget it, but Xue Yongli had already commanded an artillery cluster battle, but he still underestimated the concentrated firing of this weapon.  So when he saw such results, Xue Yongli suddenly became excited.  Of course, it was not only Xue Yongli who was excited, but also the artillerymen of the Daping Army who were firing artillery. They finally felt like the "God of War".  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
