(Today's chapter is presented, I don't want to say anything, book friends who like this book can subscribe and support it!!) ）

"Kill!"

The fierce shouting and killing in Jia Zhuang sounded again, breaking the silence of the early morning.

Lu Xiangsheng led the remaining 2,000 remnants of his troops to resist to the death, so that the Tartars could not attack for a long time.

"General, Lord Lu is about to hold on, let's play!"

Qi Wei on the side said to Li Zixiao.

At this time, more than 4,000 horses led by Li Zixiao were hidden behind a hillside less than three miles away from Jiazhuang, and they could be killed at any time.

"Well, but it's not that we play first, it's ......"

As he spoke, Li Zixiao had a smile on his face, looked towards Jia Niuling in the east, and said to the monk behind him: "Monk, send a red signal flare." ”

Sou...... Rumble!

A red signal flare flew up into the air and exploded, the red powder dispersed, and Xu Wei and others, who were walking high on Jianiuling in the east, could see it clearly at this time.

"Lao Xu, look over there, it's the signal flare sent by the general, they have already moved to the periphery of Jiazhuang, this is for us to open fire."

Xu Wei, Qi Lin and Tian Renming were standing on Jia Niuling at this time, and they could clearly see the scattered red powder.

And they are high and down, separated by a distance of six or seven miles, although the sky is gloomy this morning, but there is no industrial pollution in this era, let alone smog.

So they can still see clearly where Tartar and Li Zixiao are at this time.

"The general has already given the order, Lao Tian, the rest is up to you. Your artillery opened fire vigorously and killed those barbarians.

Qi Lin and I promise that as long as our 'Iron Battalion' is here, we will never let a single Tartar soldier rush here and hurt you. ”

Xu Wei turned sideways to Tian Renming, the deputy general of the White Dragon Army Artillery Battalion next to him, and opened his mouth to reassure.

"Haha, okay, with Lao Xu's words, I don't worry. Brothers, get to work! ”

Tian Renming couldn't bear it anymore, and when he thought that he was about to use those big guys behind him to bombard the Tartar Army, Tian Renming felt his blood boiling.

"Huh?"

And on the Tartar side, when the White Dragon Army raised a cloud of red powder, it also attracted the attention of Dolgon on the side of the Tartar camp, and Dolgon frowned slightly.

"What's going on with the red smoke rising over there? Dogul, send someone over and take a look. ”

Although Dolgon was young at this time, he had already shown the style of a general.

Even if the Tartar soldiers were in full swing at this time, it was only a matter of time before he attacked Jiazhuang at this time, but he still paid great attention to the surrounding situation.

At this time, the red smoke attracted his attention, and he immediately ordered a white-armored soldier beside him to send someone over to take a look at the situation.

"Yes, lord."

The white-armored soldier beside Dolgon answered, and then said a few words to the two horsemen behind him, and the two Tartar cavalry galloped away.

Although the sudden rise of red smoke from the north caught Dorgon's attention, he still did not think about the appearance of an army there.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just let people go over and take a look, but would immediately adjust the combat arrangements of his Tartars.

After all, even Dolgon could not have imagined that such a bold army, with only a force of only 4,000 men, would dare to come and attack them.

If anyone had said that to the Tartars at this time, they would have scoffed at Dolgon.

Even if the Tartars suffered several small defeats after entering the customs, they were still devastated, rampaging across the land of Hebei, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops gathered in the capital, and they could not help them.

As for the White Dragon Army's annihilation of nearly 3,000 Tartars in the Maguan Camp, although it has attracted the attention of the senior Tartar generals, it still does not affect the sense of expansion brought by their winning streak.

And yesterday Abatai also returned defeated, and even when he met Dolgon, he focused on the Ming army led by Li Zixiao, and even compared it to the second Guanning iron cavalry.

However, almost all the Tartar generals did not believe Abatai's words, and most of the Tartar generals believed that this was Abatai's excuse for his defeat.

Although Dorgon knew his brother, he was not very good at lying about the military.

But when he heard Abatai say that the number of this Ming army was only two or three thousand, Dolgon directly ignored it.

A Ming army of more than 1,000 people, no matter how elite it is, can't make much waves.

At this time, it is not the same in Jize, there are more than 30,000 people in Guanning Iron Cavalry!

They are not even afraid of more than 30,000 Guan Ning iron cavalry, and they can also be afraid of a Ming army of only more than 1,000 people!

Besides, such a small group of people and horses casually drilled into a corner.

They couldn't find it, so Dolgon simply ignored it.

In addition, the news that the Tartar soldiers surrounded Lu Xiangsheng in Jiazhuang came.

It made Dolgon pay no more attention to Li Zixiao's so-called elite 'Ming army'.

"Brothers, get ready to fire!"

On the Jianiu Ridge to the east, at this time, a full ten six-pounder guns, as well as thirty-two three-pounder guns, were all aimed at the position of the Tartar army.

"Liu Ming, your three-pounder cannon has a limited range, and can only attack the Tartars in the east and south, according to the general's previous order, you give priority to bombarding the Tartars surrounded in the west.

It is best to blast a gap in the encirclement of the Tartars, so that Lord Lu in Jiazhuang has a chance to break through. ”

Tian Renming ordered to a subordinate general in the distance.

"Yes!"

"Pang Yue, the range of these ten six-pounder guns under your command is long enough, and Lao Tzu is aiming at the location of the Tartar army, and I see that the Tartar white banner is not there.

That's the handsome banner of Dolgon, you give Lao Tzu a desperate shot there, if you kill Dolgon, the general said, each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Yes!" After listening to Tian Renming's words, a man on the other side responded excitedly and loudly.

"Fire!"

Boom Boom Boom ......

There was a loud sound like a thunderbolt exploding, and the entire Jia Niu Ridge was trembling, and several rows of artillery pieces on the mountain ridge emitted dazzling firelight, and heavy iron bullets flew out.

"Thunder?"

A loud noise was also heard on the Tartar side, and some of the Tartar generals unconsciously looked towards the sky.

Thundered......

Ahh......hhh

In an instant, one iron bullet after another smashed into the Tartar army formation east of the Tartar, and more than thirty three-pound iron bullets smashed down.

Suddenly, in the eastern Tartar ranks, bloody passages were pulled out, and some Tartar soldiers were directly hit by iron bullets, and half of their bodies were gone.

Even if they were not directly hit by the iron bullets, those iron bullets that jumped up on the ground continued to roll and jump out, but all the Tartar soldiers who were rubbed were undoubtedly not dead or disabled.

And because Dolgon's position in the center was southwest of Jiazhuang, the shells fell a little later than to the east.

A sudden loud noise from the east, along with screams, immediately caught the attention of Dolgon's side.

Thundered......

Immediately afterward, heavier iron bullets also fell on their side, smashing around them, killing many Tartar soldiers.

"It's not good, it's the artillery of the Ming army, protecting the prince."

Some of the big Tartar guards who had fought with the Ming army immediately knew that they were being bombarded by the Ming artillery, and they shouted to pull Dolgon off their horses, and a group of Tartar guards surrounded Dolgon.

Sou...... Thundered......

After the first wave of artillery fire was over, the eastern Tartar ranks were in disarray, and everywhere you could see the Tartars who fell to the ground screaming and wailing.

Even these Tartars, who were generally wearing two or three layers of heavy armor, were still weak under the loud slamming of artillery bullets.

And the Chinese army where Dolgon was located was taken care of by Tian Renming, and the first wave of ten six-pounder guns all bombarded his side.

Dolgon was originally protected by 3,000 Tartar cavalry, and in their opinion, it was definitely in case of consciousness that it would be more difficult to kill Dolgon than to ascend to the sky.

However, they did not expect that someone would bombard them with artillery.

After the first wave of shelling, Dolgon's side fell into complete chaos, and many Tartars around them found that they could not find Dolgon, which made the Tartars panic.

At the same time, the smashed war horses on the ground, the Tartars were everywhere, the blood stained the ground red, and the surrounding Tartars shouted 'Lord Wang' one after another.

In this first wave of artillery bombardment, on Dolgon's side alone, at least more than 30 horses were stoned to death, and more than 20 Tartar soldiers were killed in the battle.

What's more, the frightened war horse galloped everywhere, causing a lot of chaos for the Tartars, and it also took the Tartars a long time to appease the war horses.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!"

And these Dolgon's personal guards, all shouting at this time, looked around for Dolgon.

"Phew! This king is here. ”

Soon, an embarrassed figure pushed away the two Tartar corpses that were still pressing on his body, with horror on his face, and shouted at the Tartar next to him.

"Lord Wang!"

Several Tartars rushed over and dragged Dorgon out from under the Tartar's corpse.

Just now, an iron bullet that fell not far from Dolgon's side, and at the critical moment, Dolgon was pounced on by two white-armored guards guarding his side and was overwhelmed.

The bouncing iron bullet grazed the corpses of the two white-armored soldiers, breaking bones and tendons, cracking internal organs, and vomiting blood to death.

"Lord Wang, it's okay!"

"I'm fine, hurry up and help me get on my horse and leave here immediately."

Dolgon immediately gave the order, then turned on his horse, and led the Tartar cavalry around him, quickly moving his position to avoid the possible shells from behind.

Dolgon was surrounded by all Tatar cavalry, and it was very convenient to move, so when the White Dragon Army fired the second wave of artillery in Jianiuling, Dolgon had already led his army to move.

Boom Boom Boom ......

About two to three minutes had passed, and most of the Tartars had just come to their senses when they were faced with a second round of artillery fire.

On the west and south sides, they were bombarded by the artillery of the White Dragon Army, and Li Zixiao could see it to the north of Tartar at this time.

"Haha, it's Xu Wei who fired the cannon!" Zhou Dazhu said excitedly.

"The whole army is ready to attack, or we will be discovered."

Li Zixiao immediately waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

Jiazhuang is a village that is long and narrow from north to south, narrow from east to west, no more than two miles long from north to south, and no more than one mile wide from east to west, under the mountains.

However, in this way, it is still difficult for the Tartars in the four directions to see each other with their eyes, and they directly rely on the cavalry to transmit information.

Dorgon was in charge of the south, and his brother Dordor, to the north, to the west, Abatai, and to the east, another unfortunate Tartar Balor.

At this time, Duoduo was leading the army in the north and storming the north of Jiazhuang, when suddenly a huge cannon sound came from the east, which startled him.

Later, he received orders from Dolgon, knowing that they were under attack from Ming artillery, and told them to be more careful.

It's just that Dolgon, who was unwilling to fail like this, did not give an order for Duo to withdraw his troops, and Dolgon still couldn't bear to let Lu Xiangsheng go like this.

Dolgon judged that the sound of the cannon was coming from Jianiuling to the east.

Therefore, he left 2,000 foot soldiers and continued to attack Jiazhuang, and he personally led the only 3,000 cavalry left around him to Jianiuling in the east.

Li Zixiao had long known that it was impossible to make De Tatar give up attacking Jiazhuang by relying on artillery bombardment alone, after all, the credit for killing Lu Xiangsheng was too great, and Dolgon would not give up in vain.

At this time, Li Zixiao gave the order to attack, and he had already led 4,000 White Dragon soldiers to kill from the rear of the 3,000 Tartar soldiers led by Duoduo at the North Gate.

Bursts of rousing drums rang out from behind the flanks of the Duoduo army.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

As the drums gradually came, several fast horses also came from that direction, and of course Duoduo noticed such a movement at this time.

The two Tartar cavalry who had fled from the north rode desperately towards the Tartar army on the Duoduo side, and behind them there were several cavalrymen, biting very tightly in the back.

A few horsemen in the back also shot arrows at the Tartar cavalry in front from time to time.

Soon, the Tartar generals in the Duoduo camp had already seen clearly, and it was the Tartar cavalry who had just been sent by Dorgon to the north to check the red smoke.

Compared to Dorgon, Dodor didn't pay much attention to the red smoke that rose.

He wanted to get ahead of everyone, be the first to enter Jiazhuang, cut off Lu Xiangsheng's head, and take the first credit.

At this time, behind the two Tartar soldiers, several cavalrymen were in hot pursuit.

Suddenly, a Tartar cavalryman fell off his horse, rolled on the ground a few times and did not move, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, with an arrow stuck in his back.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and one of the cavalrymen who was chasing in front of him was running faster and faster, and it seemed that he was about to catch up with the Tartar in front.

The Tartar was also skilled in horsemanship and white armor, and he was a white-armored soldier, otherwise how could he follow Dorgon and act as a personal guard.

At this time, the Tartar cavalry actually took his hands off the reins on his horse, and opened his bow and arrows to shoot arrows at the cavalry behind.

Qi Wei rode on his horse, leaned down, dodged an arrow shot by the Tartar in front of him, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Tartar cavalry in front of him to slow down his horse.

He rode his horse and rushed up, and a spear went into it as fast as a dragon going out to sea, directly stabbing the Tartar white-armored soldier on the horse, and the Tartar who was shot fell directly from the horse.

Qi Wei rode his horse to him, leaned down, and grabbed him on the horse's back.

In the eyes of the Tartar generals on Duoduo's side, who were already dumbfounded, Qi Wei turned around and roared away.
