PS: Keep asking for a monthly pass!

The battle was heated from the start.

Along the line of Tashan and Baitai Mountain, the Ming army set up nearly 500 shield carts in one go, covering the large group of men and horses to slowly advance against the first-line artillery fire of the Qing army.

The selectors who followed closely behind the shield cart looked at the distance of only a few dozen steps from the chest wall of the long trench guarded by the Qing army, and nervously gestured to each other, signaling to be ready. Someone carefully blew the fuse rope in his hand to his mouth, ready to ignite the ignition of the horsetail grenades he was carrying. In melee combat, grenades are a first-class weapon and can be used as a trail starter.

"You'd better rush up!?"

The Qing troops waiting behind the chest wall of the trenches were armed with weapons, and some of them were oppressed by the huge pressure brought by the Ming army's slow upward movement, and some of them were about to be unbearable. There was almost fire in his eyes, staring viciously at the shield cars that were getting closer and closer, but at this time, the artillery fire did not dare to fire again, and a few rounds of shooting made the cannon body and the gun chamber made of copper become hot, and then firing the cannon was afraid that it would create an opportunity for the Ming army.

Seeing that the distance was only thirty or fifty paces, it had already entered the range of bows and arrows and firearms, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of clothed soldiers and firecrackers took off the firecrackers with brushes, and rammed the gunpowder and projectiles twice more with their canes, so as not to touch the void and affect the power of the medicine.

However, just as the firecrackers were already standing behind the breastwork, ready to greet the arrival of the Ming army again with dense projectiles, those shield carts slowed down and began to concentrate on the two adjacent shield carts as a unit. A huge gap suddenly appeared on the originally wide front!

But behind the vacant field, behind the breastwork, the musketeers who were holding firearms and preparing to shoot were shocked to find that the muzzles of dozens of big Buddha machines and six-pounder guns were directly pointed at themselves!

"What a cunning brute!" Jia Lazhang Jing saw the muzzles of those black holes, and then he woke up like a dream. It turns out that behind the shield car of the Ming army is not only the selection of the charging front, but also those damn cannons!

"Go back!" He turned his head and ordered the guards around him to give him an order to temporarily retreat to the trenches to avoid the artillery fire.

As soon as the words fell, a burst of fire erupted in the ranks of the Ming army. Then the white smoke filled the air, and suddenly, dozens of large and small iron balls roared out from the smoke and firelight, and smashed hard!

A large Buddha Lang machine, almost nine pounds of shells, smashed on the top of the bunker where Jialazhangjing was located. The timber on the bunker was suddenly knocked down, and even the hard layer of covered soil was also collapsed, and Jialazhangjing immediately covered his face with scattered clods of earth, but the head of a house slave guard beside him had been smashed off by the collapsed wood, and the helmet stained with brains and blood fell into the dust.

There was a loud "boom", and a bronze Franc cannon erected behind the breastwork was hit by a shell from a six-pounder gun. Immediately, the cannon was smashed and paralyzed on the spot, and the iron ball flew around the gun carriage and gun wheel, and even more terrifying, the shells flew everywhere, igniting the powder keg next to it, and suddenly, the exploding powder keg caused even more tragic damage.

Artillery fire is fired at close range, both in terms of shooting accuracy and design power. The impact on people is huge. However, it was refreshing for Wu Sangui, who was watching the battle from the rear. For Dorgon, the heavens were falling apart and the earth was shaking.

The Ming army used artillery fire less than 100 steps away from the Qing army, and dense shells roared in, one after another, and smashed heavily on the first line of defense of the Qing army, whether it was a bunker, a breastwork, or a trench, they were all smashed into a mess by the shells.

Heavy and hot shells scorched by the fierce burning of gunpowder fell on the hard ground and walls. or bounce up hard, rush straight away, or slam the earthen wall out of a big gap, the aftermath is not reduced, and it is even more rushing in all directions.

The ground is extremely hard and frozen, and it is a good place to play solid bullets. These five, six, seven or eight pounds of iron balls rolled and jumped. The firecrackers who gathered densely behind the wall cried continuously, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and this round of artillery fire took away the lives of the coated soldiers, arms, and calves.

The terrible screams in the long trench one after another, did not wait for the Jialazhang Jing to order the auxiliary soldiers and the Baoyi Ahabs to step forward to treat the wounded, then I heard a burst of artillery in my ears, and then hundreds of iron balls embraced each other, this time, the gunners of the Ming army changed a trick for the Qing army, and the cannon used a group of bullet butts, one for each big bullet, accompanied by more than a dozen small bullets. In order to kill and injure the Qing soldiers behind the breastwork.

These shells roared in, constantly smashed between the chest wall and the trench of the Qing army, and some crossed the first chest wall, and went straight to the low wall trenches behind, dense iron balls jumped and rolled on the ground, from time to time Qing soldiers and officers were hit by the shells, and the huge impact force broke them in two, and blood and rain and broken flesh flew all over the sky.

Gradually, the artillery fire of the Ming army began to concentrate on bombarding several Tibetan caves where soldiers gathered and the bunkers used as command points, and the dense projectiles bombarded the bunkers and Tibetan soldiers' caves, and the top covers on the bunkers and Tibetan soldiers caves were smashed into a mess, and several bunkers even began to emit green smoke, and in a blink of an eye, the flames jumped and burned on the wood.

The auxiliary soldiers who were carrying bags of dirt and ready to fill the bags to plug the gaps were also constantly being carried down by the shells, and they did not have the military discipline and endurance of the front-line soldiers, so they ran around screaming, and in the blink of an eye, they hit the shells that jumped everywhere and injured people.

The furious artillery bombardment was carried out three rounds, and there were no less than 1,000 large and small shells that smashed into the Qing army's position, and seeing that there were no more running targets on the Qing army's position, the Ming army's artillery fire gradually became sparse, and it was also a continuous firing of the cannon chamber that was hot, and it was necessary to stop and disperse the heat for a while.

However, these three columns of artillery bombardment had already beaten the position of the Qing army beyond recognition, and Jia Lazhangjing found his long knife from the mound, shook his head, and tried to remove some of the dust from his body. Looking around, the scenery in front of you is like hell on earth. The ground of the two lines of defense was full of bloody stumps, and the screams of the sergeants rang out. Those wounded sergeants were all hit by the iron ball, and all of them had broken legs and arms, and the injuries were extremely miserable.

"What a Li Huamei! What a Wu Sangui! It's really ruthless! ”

On Fort Tower Hill, Dorgon and the Dodor brothers had a full view of the scene, not wanting to at least be able to kill the first layer of fortifications that would have been able to repel the attack of the thousands of Ming troops. How fragile it has become in front of such close-range fire!

"Second brother! You see! What are the dogs doing?! ”

Duoduo's eyes were sharp, and he pointed at the Ming army in the distance and exclaimed.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the earthen carts that followed closely more than a hundred paces behind the shield cart stepped forward one after another, piling up the dirt bags carried on the cart around the shield cart and the gun cart, and in the blink of an eye. A half-human-high earthen wall was formed around the shield cart, and then people kept bringing seawater to pour the cold seawater on the earthen bags, and in a blink of an eye, it condensed into ice.

Defend as offense! The Ming army took advantage of the same weather to shorten the impact distance to the greatest extent, reduce the killing range of the Qing army's firearms, bows and arrows, and lay the foundation for their own infantry impact.

Seeing that there was a rudimentary shape of his earthen wall, and then looking at the Qing army's position on the opposite side that was beaten by their own artillery fire, suddenly a huge cheer and whistle broke out in the ranks of the Ming army, and some people in several distant teams sang slang songs loudly.

The flag bearer in the battalion waved the flag a few times. The entire Ming army team, under the leadership of the commander of the flag, began to slowly continue to march.

The sudden artillery attack just now undoubtedly gave a huge and strong boost to the morale of the Ming army. Of course, on the other hand, the feeling is completely different, nearly a hundred cannons bombarded them almost at the same time at a distance from the top of the head, especially these cannons are much more powerful than the copper and iron Buddha Lang machine, general, and tiger squat cannon equipped by the Qing army in terms of bullet weight and range, and this kind of treatment is probably hell for the Qing army.

Standing on opposite sides of the battlefield, it is natural to have completely different feelings.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides became closer. When they got closer, the firecrackers of the Qing army could almost distinguish the facial features of the firecrackers in the front row on the opposite side.

"Go up!"

Behind the breastwork of the teeth of the dying old man, ravaged by the artillery fire, the musketeers raised their weapons to their counterparts.

"Bang bang bang!" After a dense volley of guns. A whole line of musketeers at the front of the Ming army fell almost simultaneously, and splatters of blood fell on the snow. However, the Ming army was not affected in any way, and instead fought back fiercely with a denser platoon of guns.

After a row of fires, there were very few musketeers left behind the broken breastwork.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides had been pulled closer, and the reflections of countless weapons could already be reflected in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.

At such a short distance, the firebolt had lost its usefulness. The pikemen, sword and shield soldiers in the Qing army began to grin and clenched the tiger spears, long knives, and big axes in their hands, ready to use these to teach this damn Nikan a lesson!

"Grenadier, come forward! Bombing! ”

With a shout from the officers in the queue, the grenadiers had already removed the horsetail grenade from their backpacks on their chests. One hand first raised a huge grenade, then used the fuse rope in his hand to ignite the grenade, and then picked up the grenade with one hand, and threw it towards the place where the Qing soldiers gathered with all his strength.

"Boom!" With a series of huge explosions, horsetail grenades containing two catties of gunpowder bloomed everywhere in the long trench fortifications of the Qing army, and the entire Qing army's position was suddenly shrouded in white smoke.

At this time, I don't know who shouted in the ranks of the Ming army: "Kill slaves!" Suddenly there was a frenzy, and the Ming army's leaders swooped in front of the Qing army's fortifications. The Qing officers and soldiers stationed here also went berserk, jumping out of the trench violently, and the two sides collided in one place.

Both sides had full confidence in this battle, and the Qing army claimed to be a peerless archer on horseback (phew!). When you entered the customs, you had more artillery than the Ming army, and when you fought with Wu Sangui and Geerdan, you won with artillery fire. ), has a reputation for being good at fighting. The Ming army, on the other hand, came prepared, and had an advantage in morale, numbers, technology, and even supplies. The troops of the two sides collided together, using spears, broadswords, short-handled axes, tiger tooth knives and even tooth fists to solve the problem, and at that moment there were huge casualties, and the officers of both sides even brought their own elites to kill.

But this kind of impact is obviously the Qing army to pay the greatest price. Jialazhangjing led his Bayala soldiers and house slave guards, jumped out of the long trench and rushed forward with his weapons a dozen steps, and there were only thirteen or fourteen of the dozens of elites around him.

The second trick offered by the fathead fish, those short fire guns played a maximum role at this juncture. The musketeers only aimed at the Qing army rushing with spears, halberds, swords and axes, and opened fire, and at such a hand-to-hand combat distance, the shooting accuracy and armor-piercing ability were beyond doubt. And those grenadiers. Just threw the horsetail grenades from the top of his own people's heads and exploded in the ranks of the Qing army.

"If you can't be blown up, you will be scared to death!"

In less than half a meal, half of the white flag of Jiala had been defeated, and the price paid by the Ming army fighting with this Jiala was almost the same, both sides used all their strength, and fought each other until the last quarter of an hour in this small space.

The flow of people on both sides collided and fought together. Someone fell almost every moment, and Jia Lazhangjing didn't know that he had put down a few Ming soldiers with the tiger tooth knife in his hand, nor did he know that he had been left a huge wound on his body by several Ming military weapons, and the residual consciousness in his mind was to hold the handle of the tiger tooth knife tightly and fight desperately with the Ming army, and cast all his depression on the battlefield.

was killing sexually, but he heard an exclamation in his ears, it was the shouting of his cronies and slaves beside him, and he lowered his head and looked at it in surprise, I don't know when. Blood gushed out from the gaps in the breastplate on his chest, appearing on the white armor beneath the breastplate. When I looked at it again, a huge hole appeared under the right chest. Not far away, a Ming military musketeer with a short firearm in his hand shouted happily: "I overthrew a Tartar official!" Before he could finish speaking, he was hit by an arrow in the head and fell to the ground.

As soon as his hand was released, the tiger tooth knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his entire body also fell down, when his body came into contact with the mud mixed with blood and body fluids on the ground. The last thought in my mind: "Is this death?" Am I going to die? ”

"The tartar of the white flag has collapsed! The tartar of the white flag is broken! ”

The death of Jia Lazhangjing was undoubtedly the biggest blow to the morale of the Qing troops present. Since the beginning of the war, although officers could be killed at any time, it is unprecedented to lose one of them at the beginning of the fight.

So, some people were afraid of Dolgon's continuous sitting method, and fought desperately forward. Some people are timid, looking around, and some people simply run along the traffic trench and don't know where they have gone. This Jiala of the white flag has been unable to form an effective counterattack, under the tremendous pressure of the Ming army. Start and step by step.

He did his best!

There was a loud drum beat, and then even more shouts came from the two wings of the Ming army's formation, but Wu Sangui, who was in command of the Chinese army, saw that the time for the Ming army to fight had arrived, so he ordered the replacement troops to step forward.

The arrival of this new force turned the retreat of the Qing army into a collapse.

After two volleys of guns, the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties directly entered into a fiery hand-to-hand combat. The Ming army guerrilla who led the team waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Sons, others killed the Tartar Jiala Zhangjing, and they have already gone down to drink wine and eat meat and receive silver!" If you are not afraid of silver biting your hands, and you are not afraid of fat meat, you will rush up to General Ben......"

When did the Qing army ever see the Ming army rushing to kill like this? After a short hand-to-hand fight, the remnants of the White Banner Armor abandoned three or four hundred corpses and began to run backwards. When they retreated, the white-flag-inlaid Jiala in the direction of Baitai Mountain that they drove was also in turmoil, and the Jiala Zhangjing led by him waved his knife and hacked to death three or four fleeing officers and soldiers to no avail, and he was even swept away by the defeated soldiers in the direction of Tashan!

On the side of the Ming army, the morale was greatly boosted, and the officers and soldiers shouted loudly almost at the same time: "Kill! ”

Follow the momentum of the Qing army's defeat and retreat, and chase it closely!

"Go! Go to the Hongluo Mountain camp to report to the county lord's mother and the town's mother! Let's just say that the first line of the thieves has been broken by the sons! ”

Wu Sangui instructed Wu Jingsi, the general of the family around him, and ordered him to go to the Hongluo Mountain camp as soon as possible to report the good news to Li Huamei.

The defeat of the white flag was still quite orderly compared to the loss of the white flag of Jialazhangjing, and at least it kept leaving blocking teams in order to temporarily delay the frantic attack of the Ming army. But no matter how orderly the retreat is, it is just a retreat, especially when the roar of killing the Tartars for silver is shouted all over the mountains, it is the greatest destruction of the morale of the Qing army. The Ming army is full of arrogance, and when it has seen the goddess of victory beckoning to itself, it is a major feature of the Ming army to use twelve points of strength to attack forward, especially as long as they hold on for two quarters of an hour!

When this group of retreating Qing army officers and soldiers with two white flags jumped into the second long trench, they found that the enemy army had already pursued them!

And waiting for them in front of them was the eldest son of Anping Beledudu, who was blue and full of murderous energy, Duerhu, the Duke of Fuguo!

As Du Du's eldest son, he naturally knew that his father owed the Dolgon brothers a great favor when he was in Jinan, and this great favor was also a great deal in the hands of the Dolgon brothers in the eyes of Du Du's father and son. Therefore, when the first line of defense showed signs of collapse, without waiting for Dolgon to speak, Du Du and his son took the initiative to ask for help, willing to lead their men and horses to rush forward to counterattack this Ming army!

"This group of minions, who escaped from the battle, were all killed!"

Du Du coldly relayed Dolgon's military orders, not only to the two white flag defeated soldiers who were crying, but also to his own soldiers and horses with red flags! (To be continued......)
