The road in front was blocked, and there were the most elite ironclad soldiers chasing behind, Gao Jinku knew that Yang Ji couldn't hold out for long after the break, so he had to desperately launch a strong attack on the Ming army blocking the road in front.

Sure enough, as expected by Gao Jin, Yang Ji blocked it for a while, but he was defeated in half an hour. The Qing army was defeated, and more than 2,000 elite Ming troops clung to Yang Ji's tail and chased after him. Fortunately, the Ming army had no cavalry, and the ironclad infantry was slow to move and could not catch up for a while.

"The puppet Ming Haikou behind us are all ironclad heavy soldiers, they are moving slowly, and we still have three hours to go. Be sure to rush through here in three hours! Gao Jinku looked at the small mound in front of him and ordered the auxiliaries to build improvised siege weapons such as shield carts and trench bridges.

Gao Jinku has more than 7,000 people in his hands, plus more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers. So many men cut wood in the woods on both sides of the mountain road, but in an hour they built more than a hundred shield carts, more than twenty moats, and four improvised catapults.

The Qing army auxiliaries pushed one after another improvised shield carts, lined up in three straight lines, connected from head to tail, and lined up with three long snake formations to press up to the small mound. In the rear of the Qing army, hundreds of Qing soldiers appeared pushing four improvised catapults.

It was found that the Qing army was pushing the catapult into battle, and the Ming army on both sides of the hill desperately pulled the rope and smashed stones at the Qing army's catapult with a simple trebuchet.

It's just that the hit rate of trebuchets is too low, and six simple trebuchets smashed for a long time, and they didn't smash a single catapult, but they killed many Qing soldiers and knocked over two shield cars.

The Qing army's catapult was pushed into place and stone bullets were fired at the small mound of the Ming army.

The stone fell on the wooden fence and smashed a large piece of the wooden fence; The stone fell on the mound of earth, and the dirt flew sideways, and the mound suddenly dented a large chunk. The Ming troops hiding on the mound were smashed by catapults, killing and wounding many people. Fortunately, the hit rate of the Qing army's catapults was not high, and two percent of the stones smashed fell on the mound.

The Ming army on the hill replaced it with gravel, loaded a large number of stones the size of goose eggs into the trebuchet's basket, and then dozens of auxiliaries pulled the rope of the trebuchet together to attack the catapult of the Qing army at the bottom of the mountain.

The hit rate is still not high, but a basket of hundreds of stones flies out, and the scattered area is huge.

The stones fell like hailstones, and the Qing soldiers who were pulling ropes and firing stone bullets on the side of the Qing army's catapult were hit by the overwhelming stones that broke their heads and bled out, killing and wounding a large number of people, and the firepower of the Qing army's catapult was much weaker.

Above the mound, behind the wooden fence that had just been knocked over, a group of people shouted and erected the wooden fence again.

"Shoot the arrows!" Wang Xinyu yelled.

The archers of the Ming army raised their bows and arrows to the sky, shooting rows of light arrows.

The "whoosh" feather arrows drew arcs in the air and landed in the crowd of Qing troops under the heavy use of gravity. Those Qing army auxiliaries pushing shield carts and without armor were hit by arrows one after another, and let out heart-rending screams.

Someone shouted and turned to flee, but was beheaded by the Qing soldiers who were supervising the battle on the side.

"Up! Death to those who retreat! A soldier shouted as he brandished his sword.

On the mound, the Ming army's bird gunners continued to shoot rain-like projectiles, but the projectiles could not penetrate the shield car, and could only kill and injure some of the shield car Qing soldiers whose bodies were exposed.

The Qing army auxiliaries withstood the light arrows scattered by the Ming army, and they didn't know how many people fell, pushed the shield cart past the first trench that had just been filled, and pressed straight towards the second trench.

In front of the second trench, some of the Qing army auxiliaries began to fill the trench, and the other part of the Qing army auxiliary soldiers lowered the trench bridge and erected it on the trench.

"Kill!" A large number of Qing soldiers armed with shields and one-handed knives suddenly came out from behind the shield carts, howled from their mouths, rushed to the moat, and rushed towards the wooden fence.

Armor-piercing arrows were like locusts flying in the sky, and lead bullets rained down, burrowing into the crowd of Qing soldiers. The shields in the hands of the Qing soldiers blocked most of the arrows and lead bullets, but there were still many Qing soldiers who were shot by arrows in their arms and legs without protection, and let out painful screams. The Qing soldiers who had been shot by arrows were full of steps, and then they were squeezed down the trench by the Qing soldiers who rushed up from behind.

The Qing army crowded across the moat bridge in a chaotic manner, desperately trying to climb the mound and chop the wooden fence with knives.

At this time, the hemp knife on the wooden fence kept stabbing down, condescendingly stabbing into the crowd of Qing soldiers. Even though the Qing soldiers had shield protection and thick armor, they still couldn't withstand the sharp Miao knife.

The tip of the knife slashed away from the shield and stabbed into the armor of the Qing soldiers, breaking a hole in the armor and burrowing the tip into the soft musculature. The Qing soldier who had been stabbed screamed and fell into the trench.

Behind the wooden fence, many Ming soldiers threw out grappling hooks, hooked the shield car and pulled it hard, pulling the front baffle of the shield car apart, revealing the Qing army auxiliaries who were about to fill the trench with sandbags behind. Rows of arrows and lead bullets flew over, and a large number of Qing army auxiliaries and Minzhuang who had lost their protection were killed or wounded.

On the mound of earth, several watchtowers were raised, and the Ming army on them threw the oil canisters down and landed on the moat bridge. Only a ping-pong sound was heard, the oil tank was broken, and the moat bridge and the Qing soldiers were splashed with oil.

"Whoosh" several rockets were fired onto the moat bridge, only a "whew" was heard, a fire rose from the moat bridge, and those Qing soldiers who were splashed with fire oil were also burned into burning people, crying in the fire.

Another trench bridge was blown to pieces by several bottles thrown from behind the wooden fence, and the Qing soldiers standing on the trench bridge, dead or alive, all fell into the trench.

The catapults of the Qing army were also desperately firing stone projectiles. The Qing soldiers who operated the catapult braved the torrential rain of stones smashed by the Ming army, regardless of the heavy casualties, desperately pulled the catapult and fired the stone projectiles onto the mound of earth and the wooden fence.

Many Ming troops were hit by stones, but no one flinched, and the soldiers desperately withstood the frantic attack of the Qing army.

On the slopes of the mountains on both sides, many Li soldiers and Miao soldiers came down from the top of the hillside and shot rows of highly poisonous feather arrows at the two wings of the Qing army with hunting bows in their hands, killing many Qing soldiers. However, under the suppression of the Qing archers, a group of Miao soldiers and Li soldiers were also shot by bows and arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

The direction of the Ganshi Mountain valley is slightly east-west from north to south, the northwest wind blows in winter, the Ming army's defense line is in the northwest position, and the Qing army is in the southeast position, just in the downwind position.

Wang Xinyu had some chili peppers on hand that he had brought back from Manila, which were gifts from Manlik. That's where these gifts come in handy: Wang Xinyu has long had the potted peppers plucked, dried, ground into powder, and packed into cloth bags. At this time, a northwest wind blew, and the wind entered the valley, forming a strong wind.

"Cast!" Seeing that the wind was favorable, Wang Xinyu shouted.

The soldiers threw more than a dozen piles of firewood out and over the trenches. Rockets were then fired at the firewood pile. Inside these piles of firewood are a gift from Manila Governor Manrik: chili powder.

The firewood pile immediately ignited a fire, the fire burned through the small cloth bag, and the chili powder inside was ignited, emitting a choking smell, and under the action of the wind, the choking smoke penetrated into the crowd of Qing soldiers and spread.

"Ahh......h The Qing soldiers were choked with tears and snot, and they could not form combat effectiveness at all. At this time, a row of arrows came from the mound, and the Qing soldiers were killed and wounded.

The pungent smell of burning chili powder also reached the Ming army, but due to the wind direction, the Ming army covering their mouths and noses was not affected much.

The choking smoke drifted southeast with the wind, and the Qing soldiers who were pushing the shield cart in a straight line dropped the shield cart one after another, covering their nostrils with the corners of their clothes; The smoke drifted to the rear of the Qing army, and the Qing army auxiliaries who were firing trebuchet stone projectiles also dropped their ropes and covered their mouths and noses.

The horses of the Eight Banners cavalry were choked by the smoke, and even the horses sneezed, and some of the horses were alarmed, galloped in all directions, and trampled to death many Qing soldiers until they were shot with arrows.

Gao Jinku and those Eight Banner soldiers were choked unbearably, and they turned their heads one after another, covering their mouths and noses with their cuffs.

Seeing that the formation of the Qing army was already chaotic, Wang Xinyu was overjoyed.

"You can take out the super national surname bottle and use it!" Wang Xinyu asked the soldiers to take out the super national surname bottle that had been prepared long ago.

Ten new national surname bottles, filled not with ordinary black gunpowder, but with extremely valuable Dana explosives! This kind of national surname bottle weighs two catties each, which is filled with half a catty of Dana explosives and hundreds of iron beads, and a lei tube is inserted in it, and a fuse is extended into the bottle and inserted into the thunder guan to detonate the national surname bottle.

Behind the wooden fence stood five watchtowers, which were climbed by five soldiers, each carrying two new-style national surname bottles.

Zhao Shrimp Cricket, originally the son of a fisherman in Guangdong, because of Wu Liuqi's wanton sea ban, his parents starved to death, he took his sister to leave his hometown and came to Fujian, but halfway, his sister was also abducted. Zhao Shrimp came to Fujian alone, and jumped into the sea to swim to Xiamen while the Qing army was not paying attention, and was rescued by Wang Xinyu's sailors. Now he has the honor of becoming a personal soldier of Wang Xinyu.

"Dog Tartar, come on! Let you taste your grandfather's awesomeness! Zhao Shrimp Cricket took out a bottle with a national surname.

Lighting the Guojia bottle, pausing for three breaths in his hand, Zhao Shrimp Cricket poked his head out from behind the guard, and forcefully threw the Guojia bottle towards the Qing army crowd gathered fifty paces away.

"Boom" A huge fireball rose from the crowd of Qing troops, and the sound of the explosion was like hundreds of cannons firing at the same time! The flames expanded rapidly, and a large number of iron beads and ceramic shards splattered from the shattered Guojia bottle. I only heard a scream from the crowd of Qing troops, and a large number of Qing soldiers fell.

The remaining four pro-soldiers also threw out new-style national surname bottles, blowing up the Qing army to the ground.

A few seconds later, the second round of Guojia bottles flew out and exploded in the most dense place of the Qing soldiers, blowing up a large area of the Qing soldiers.

Ten new-style Guojiao bottles, each containing half a catty of Dana explosives, this explosive is more than a hundred times more powerful than black Huoo! The power of the explosion of the ten national surname bottles is equivalent to the power of the explosion of more than six hundred catties of black huo medicine! One can imagine what kind of shock such an explosion was for the Qing soldiers!

"Thunder is coming!" Someone shouted, turned and ran.

The huge explosion completely blew up the Qing army and covered its head. Coupled with the power of chili powder, the Qing army, which was dizzy by the explosion, was in chaos and collapsed for a while.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing army, the Ming army fired arrows, lead bullets, and stone bullets in unison, causing heavy casualties to the Qing troops in the valley. The Qing soldiers who were not dead turned their heads and ran. Everyone wanted to escape from this choking valley as soon as possible, and the Qing soldiers were huddled together, trampling on each other, trampling on each other, trampling to death, and overthrowing a lot of shield carts.

The Qing army fled from the valley, and the Ming troops on the hills on both sides took the opportunity to rush down. These Ming soldiers used a damp cloth to cover their mouths and noses, which can reduce the irritation of chili powder to themselves. The Ming soldiers lit rockets and fired rows of rockets at shield carts and trebuchets abandoned by the Qing army in the valley.

The shield cart and trebuchet burned, and the fire took advantage of the wind to burn bigger and bigger, and the fire soon engulfed the shield cart and the trebuchet.

The fire in the valley was full of smoke billowing into the sky, and the fire would not be extinguished for a while and a half, and the Qing army could not attack again for a while.

"The road ahead can't be crossed, and when the fire is extinguished, the pursuers behind will also arrive!" A general from Gao Jinku said.

Turning his head to look at the valley with thick smoke billowing out, Gao Jinku had no choice but to give the order to go down, let the Qing army turn back, and attack the Ming army that was chasing after him.

There were only more than 2,000 pursuers behind, and they had already left Tucheng. Gao Jinku felt confident that he could defeat the more than 2,000 Ming troops who had no city protection and escape from this dead place as soon as possible. Although after escaping, he could only go from the seaside, and he might be bombarded by the Ming warships halfway, but at this time, Gao Jinku couldn't manage so much.
