Carrying a bucket of black powder, he and his subordinates crossed the mountains and returned to the back of the mushroom valley. Before Wei Zheng could recover from the surprise of the huge harvest, Zhou Shuyuan, who had stayed behind in Mushroom Valley, hurriedly ran over.

After seeing Wei Zheng, he shouted directly: "General, this time, we have overdone it......"

"The Tartars, stationed outside the mushroom valley, did not retreat but advanced, and began to show signs of a large-scale attack on us......"

Wei Zheng's brows furrowed, and he asked with a puzzled face, "Attack...... Without artillery, how can the Tartars break our explosives packs...... Didn't Dorgon know that such an attack would have no effect other than death? ”

After speaking, Wei Zheng continued to ask: "Strategist, is it possible that the Tartars are bluffing to cover their next retreat......

Zhou Shuyuan shook his head and replied: "It is absolutely impossible to bluff......"

"More than 5,000 Tartars and infantry have been gathered in front of our front-line positions...... If it was a bluff, the Tartars would never have sent so many people to play for us......"

"In addition, the Tartars were accompanied by a large number of shield wagons and heavy shields...... In a word, the current actions of the Tartars are all preparations for the offensive, and they are definitely not a bluff. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng also became nervous, and ordered loudly: "What are you doing then?" Immediately go up to the city walls. In addition, the musket battalion, the artillery battalion, was ordered to immediately enter the position and prepare for battle. Tell the brothers of the two battalions, we have seized tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder from the Tartars, and as long as the Tartars dare to attack, we will give me a strong ......."

"In addition, inform the few people who stayed in the Mushroom Valley in the Armory Workshop to take out a 1,000-kilogram bag of explosives from the seized gunpowder in case of ......emergency."

After speaking, Wei Zheng walked quickly to the city wall......

In the midst of this stunned, a huge phalanx of 1,000 infantry following the first 300 Tartar archers, under the command of Dolgon himself, had been formed.

When Wei Zheng rushed to the city wall and raised his binoculars, the infantry phalanx pushing the shield cart and holding the shield was like a black cloud, slowly pressing towards the front-line position where the mushroom valley was.

"General, as soon as Dolgon made a move, there were more than a thousand people, followed by thousands of people. The military advisor was not wrong, Dolgon was really enraged by our attack on his artillery unit, and was ready to attack Mushroom Valley at any cost and destroy our ......" Wang Feng said to himself with a solemn face.

Wei Zheng put down the binoculars and said with a murderous face: "Whether it angers Dolgon or not, as long as he dares to attack our Tiger and Leopard Army, our Tiger and Leopard Army will repel it......"

"Besides, now we have enough gunpowder in our hands, and we've brought back quite a few heavy Franc machines. As long as he dares to come, we will let him come and go, and have a good taste of the power of our tiger and leopard army......"

Soon, the distance between the two armies was reduced to one hundred and fifty paces.

When Wei Zheng raised the telescope again, nine explosions like thunder suddenly sounded in the front-line position and reached Wei Zheng's ears.

Under Wei Zheng's gaze, nine orange-red fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose from the position, and nine solid shells, directly at a speed visible to the naked eye, flew out of the black breech of the artillery and flew towards the Tartar shield car.

Although the sound of the collision of the cannonball hitting the target did not reach Wei Zheng's ears, the picture of the Tartar shield car being instantly torn apart under the impact of the cannonball was clearly visible through the telescope in Wei Zheng's eyes.

"Good...... The artillery fought well......" Wei Zheng, who was holding a telescope, couldn't help but applaud.

Zhou Yuanyuan, who was standing behind the side, said: "General, this is the first round of shells fired by the artillery battalion's medium-sized Franc machine gun team, if you replace it with the heavy Franc machine we just captured, two hundred steps away, you can easily destroy the shield car in front of the Tartars." ”

Wei Zheng nodded, and decisively ordered: "Since this is the case, let the brothers fight like this......"

"In addition, order the cavalry battalion to help the Huzun artillery team send all the newly captured Franc machines to the second and third line positions for arrangement. Now that these cannons are in our hands, we have to make them work......"

Violent cannon fire continued to sound on the battlefield, and the shields and car shields that stood in front of the Tartars were smashed apart one after another.

On the surface, it seems that the Tartar has been in a passive state of beating, but in fact, it is not.

On the one hand, the power of solid shells is limited, and after destroying the shield car, it is already difficult to inflict too much secondary damage on the enemy behind.

On the other hand, in the entire attacking phalanx, all those in front of them were infantry followers, and no matter how many deaths there were, the Tartars would not be heartbroken.

Therefore, in the face of the attack, none of the Tartars' expressions changed behind the infantry.

Continuing to hold the longbow, he roared and urged the infantry in front to speed up the attack.

A hundred paces, and the light Franc machine also joined the battle.

Eighty paces, the muskets built by the Haw Par Army themselves, joined the battle one after another......

At this moment, the Tartar bows and arrows that followed the infantry behind him came into play.

Hold the longbow alof, pull the string with the arrow, and release the bowstring......

A slight trembling sound of bowstrings sounded, and more than three hundred arrows came out of the strings, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and at an increasing speed, they pierced the tiger and leopard army on the ground.

Under the test of battle, the Haw Par Army, which was becoming more and more familiar with the Tartars' offensive methods, did not pay attention to the arrows whistling down from the Tartars.

Holding the shield aloft, except for a few arrows that pierced the ground through the gaps in the shield or the body of the Haw Par soldiers, the rest of the arrows were all nailed to the shield.

At this time, the infantry who stood in front of the Tartars followed the army but were miserable.

As the two armies got closer, the hit rate of the shells became higher and higher. Of course, the shells are becoming more and more powerful.

The shield wall that stood in front of the infantry was now full of gaps.

Not only that, but as the shelling continued, the gap became bigger and bigger.

Such a good opportunity, of course, the musketeers will not let go.

......The chaotic and crisp sound of gunfire resounded on the battlefield, and the hot buckshot was like a grim reaper, constantly harvesting the infantry behind the gap.

Soon, the dense attacking phalanx of infantry followers was hit several gaps by lead bullets, and the infantry followers within the gap were either turned into corpses or fell to the ground and wailed, waiting for death to befall them.

Fifty paces, the Tartars who fell on the offensive road have exceeded three hundred.

At this time, whether it is a medium-sized Franc machine or a light Franc machine, a shell will definitely hit the shield or shield cart held high in the hands of the infantry.
