It seemed that the surging waves met the hard reef, and from the air, the dense layers of Qing soldiers were blocked in front of the long earthen wall trench of the Shunxiang army.

In the position of the Shunxiang army, the two frontal passages are the widest, each 25 steps wide, which is counted as the meter of later generations, about nearly 40 meters.

On these two passages, the Ming artillery at the gap in the earthen wall had just completed a salvo. The commander of the battle was a white banner, a large number of auxiliaries were escorted, pushing about ten refined chariots, five in the front and five in the rear. Behind each chariot were a large group of Qing archers and heavy armor.

They were going to rush through the passage before the Ming artillery fired a single shot, so everyone shouted to charge, and the auxiliaries of the carts used their strength to push the chariot as fast as possible. Next to each chariot, those bows held strong bows and arrows, constantly suppressing the Shunxiang arms behind the earthen wall.

The two sides shot at each other for a while, and those Qing archers were really powerful, and after they rushed close to forty or fifty paces, many of the Shunxiang soldiers only showed their upper bodies or a head, and they fought with the Qing soldiers for a while, and they also knew how to dodge sharp arrows and protect themselves. However, many sergeants were still shot in the face or in both eyes, screaming and never coming out again.

But behind the earthen wall, there were still Ming army guns coming, and the closer the chariots pushed, the more ferocious the firepower became, and it seemed that they had increased reinforcements. Their firearms were fired from the side, and unprotected cart auxiliaries and archers were constantly knocked to the ground, making their carts push more and more slowly, and the corpses of the Qing troops who charged before the waves on the ground hindered their advance.

One didn't pay attention, a long time had passed, and they didn't notice that the artillery of the Shunxiang Army in front of them had been loaded with ammunition again. Because of the wide passage, the Shunxiang army arranged two Buddha wolf machine guns, two tiger squat guns, and when did it push over a Hongyi six-pounder gun, all of which were loaded with shotguns.

Thirty paces, those chariots were still trying to advance, and those Qing archers were also busy shooting at the Shunxiang army, but unexpectedly, the thunderclap sounded, and it rang several times, and the ears seemed to be deaf. Then a large rain of bullets came overwhelmingly, and the shock wave, many chariots were broken and overturned on the spot, and the Qing soldiers behind the ten chariots also rolled down a large area. In the long howl of a bunch of people on the ground, the rest of the people fled back with a crawl.

The Qing soldiers besieging were still mostly there, and there were only five passages, as if the dammed lake was trying to find an exit, and the rest of the people couldn't wait to jump in from the first low wall.

These Qing soldiers were heavily armoured and carried large shields and heavy weapons, but they had no bows and arrows on their bodies. Because most of the Qing soldiers before the attack thought that the heavy armor soldiers were covered by a large number of archers behind them, there was no need for them to carry arrows. When it came to the end, everyone realized that they were wrong.

It is no better than attacking a high city, and the archers behind can shoot arrows upwards at will to cover the advance of their own soldiers, but the earthen walls of the Ming army in front of them ......

The earthen wall is only half the height of the Ming army, and most of the Qing soldiers are short and strong, and the height of the wall is about the same as that of the Qing soldiers. Ignoring the Qing army that fell into the trench, at this time, the flat ground between the low walls was already covered with the Qing army's Chongping Gate that had climbed the wall, blocking the sight of the Qing archers behind.

They couldn't see the situation of the Ming army behind the earthen wall dozens of steps away, and only saw the dense bodies and heads of the soldiers in the banner in front. If you shoot arrows from behind, you won't be able to shoot at all on the head of the Ming army, and you will shoot 100% on your own people.

There seems to be a Qing army archer next to the first low wall shield car who is too anxious, holding a captured Ming army bazooka, and shooting a bundle of rockets at the front, dozens of arrows roaring away, and as a result, he shot over a group of Qing soldiers who climbed in front of him? "I didn't expect to die at the hands of my own people, and they fell to the ground without a twinkle. At the same time, the archer was stunned, and was angrily slashed to the ground by a white-flaged bull Lu Zhangjing who was supervising the battle beside him. "Comfortable, comfortable......"

Looking from behind the earthen wall, the line of sight ahead was clear at a glance, those half-human high low walls, as well as deep trenches, would only hinder the march of the Qing army, but they could not affect the sight of the firecrackers under Han Zhong's command in the slightest. They stepped forward one after another, each carefully aiming at the Qing army's heavy armor soldiers who were densely packed but moved slowly between the low walls.

After finding their respective targets, each person determined to aim and pulled the trigger, and few people missed.

"Shoot the target!"

The firecrackers laughed, and after a row of shots, they stepped back, loaded the cartridge ammunition, and then stepped forward again.

The deafening sound of the gun was heard several times, and the smoke from behind the earthen wall was released in a dense patch, and then it was almost blown away by the howling cold wind.

The flood gap in the dammed lake was finally blocked, except for a few passages deliberately left by the Shunxiang army, the rest of the Qing troops who attacked the low wall and ditch were densely packed and difficult to escape back under the joy of the fire behind them, and occasionally they continued to roll down.

Finally, when they had fled, as if to breathe out of their previous sullenness and fear, the heavily armored men shouted and ordered the archers behind the shield cart to go out and shoot arrows.

The alfalfa arrows roared, and a large rain of arrows rushed towards the Shunxiang army behind the earthen wall, and at the same time, a huge thunder exploded, and many Qing army archers fired the big rockets captured from the states and counties of the Ming Kingdom. For these arrows of the Qing army, the Shunxiang army behind the earthen wall was well hidden, and he was allowed to shoot them.

Anyway, those Tartar soldiers rushed over again, and the low walls and trenches were covered with their dense figures, and with these people covering them, the Tartar archers behind them were useless, and everyone could calmly shoot targets again.

The arrows jumped over the earthen wall and continued to shoot down on the outer defense line of the Shunxiang army, and the arrows shot by these Qing archers were sixty or seventy paces away, and they had already lost their power. Even if they fell from the sky, the ironclad pikemen in Wang Dou's army were protected by full armor, and the firecrackers were either hiding behind the earthen wall or erecting shields to support the Xuanda camp. As for those rockets, they shot hundreds of paces at a time, passed through the defense line of the Shunxiang Army from the air, and they didn't know where they flew for a long time.

Wang Dou stood on the earthen platform, and the guards beside him used their shields to defend him against the arrows that fell densely in the air.

Looking at the firecrackers who were covered with shields, Wang Dou thought to himself, it seems that only breastplates are available to the firecrackers, and there is still something insufficient. After returning to Baoan Prefecture after the war, he still gave the firecrackers full armor. There are many pairs of captured Qing soldier armor in his baggage department, and when today's battle is over, find more iron armor and shop armor to come out and put it on the fire soldiers to reduce their casualties. "Pleasure ● Pleasure 111111"

The front defense line of the Shunxiang army has been much quieter, and on the west side of the camp by the river, the soldiers of the Supervisory Battalion defending the Artemisia Bridge look at the Qing army on the other side of the bridge vigilantly, and they still have not made the slightest movement.

Dense layers of three-eyed guns were erected on the earthen wall, and the three-eyed guns of the main barracks held the fire coal in one hand and aimed and shot at the same time. They put the coals on the medicine hole behind the gun, and with a loud bang, a flash of fire shot out. A little more coal, another loud bang, very fast. There are even three-eyed pots that are shared, and the ammunition of the three guns will be fired at the same time after ignition.

The effective range of the Three-Eyed Gun is thirty paces, even if these Qing soldiers who climb the wall are heavily armoured, within a few steps, a dozen steps, the Three-Eyed Gun can still break their armor and make them roll to the ground one by one, as if they were shooting targets without danger.

A Tartar soldier who usually wasted his strength to kill was now so easily fallen in front of his eyes one by one, and everyone's cheers and screams kept ringing.

In the dense sound of gunfire and gunsmoke, Yang Guozhu was wearing iron armor and a red cloak, and personally led a large group of his family members to patrol everywhere, and before seeing the tide of Qing soldiers blocking his earthen wall, his face full of vicissitudes showed an incredible expression, and sighed: "I have never fought such a happy battle, I really can't imagine that this low wall and trench is so powerful!" ”

Guo Yingxian, his Chinese general, was also chuckling beside him, and at this time, everyone was standing behind the earthen wall, and the artillery officers under Wen Fangliang, supported by Wang Dou, were ordering a salvo.

In the sight of Yang Guozhu and others, on a passage not far from the right, a Buddha wolf machine medium artillery and a tiger squat cannon opened fire one after another, causing the Qing soldiers who rushed to cry and shout for their mothers, leaving a piece of stump, and the rest of the people crawled back with a rolling belt. Guo Yingxian took a breath and said, "What a powerful artillery!" ”

Yang Guozhu was also secretly surprised by the power of the artillery salvo of the Shunxiang army, but fortunately, Wang Dou supported his artillery, so that those Qing soldiers were kept out of the passage. But soon after, a group of Qing soldiers with heavy shields and heavy armor rushed up frantically.

At this time, the artillery in Yang Guozhu's formation fought several rounds in a row, and he needed to stop for a moment to dissipate heat and clean the chamber. The bird-stalkers and three-eyed gunners on both sides of the earthen wall desperately shot at the Qing army, but they could not stop their advance, and soon they were about to rush into the earthen wall. Guo Huixian said happily: "Good guy, it's finally here!" ”

He asked Yang Guozhu loudly: "Junmen, the last general is willing to take his soldiers to drive all these slaves and thieves out of the wall." However, the tragic appearance of the warriors of each banner also made the soldiers in the banner feel cold.

I'm afraid that no matter how brave I am, in the face of such a Ming army position, it won't be useful at all, right? The position of the Ming army in front of them, their defense and combat methods, are much beyond everyone's cognition, and everyone doesn't know how to apply it or how to start. The incomprehension of the unknown made them feel a burst of fear in their hearts, and the low Ming army defense line in front of them suddenly became solid in the eyes of everyone, as if it could never be broken.

Just when the Qing soldiers outside the Shunxiang army were not sure what to do, suddenly there was a sharp sound of Mingjin retreating from the side of the large array of Dolgon. Suddenly, those Qing soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the chariot, and retreated like a tide in front of them.

Seeing their defeat and retreat, there was a cheer in the Ming army's position, and Li Guangheng stood beside Wang Dou and said excitedly: "General, do you want the knights under the command of the last general to go to the pursuit and kill?" Wang Dou smiled and said: "They are just the first time to test, they haven't exhausted their strength yet, and it's not time to attack!"

In the cheers of the whole army, Lu Xiangsheng also came with laughter, accompanied by Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu and other generals, inspected the three sides of the Xuanda camp.

Everyone saw that around the earthen wall and the low wall, there were iron corpses of the Qing army everywhere, and there were patches of blood that had been frozen in the cold winter, and in the pool of blood, from time to time there were painful moans of the Qing soldiers who did not die. The Qing soldiers who died in the trenches were covered with mud and blood, and their corpses were of different shapes and had already formed a hard and hard mass.

On the various passages, it is even more of a mess, with severed heads and feet, stumps and intestines all over the ground, and if you are not careful, you will step on it. The blood stains here and there are even thicker, which is frightening. Not to mention the broken chariots and the Qing weapons and banners that were discarded everywhere.

Looking at all this in front of them, everyone exhaled deeply: "Tragic ......"
