After the 10,000 Qing troops were assembled, they had already set up a formation under the new city, and just as Bo Hezhen ordered the siege of the city, his father Abatai led the army to come.

After hearing about this, Abatai shook Bo and a big mouth on the spot, and said: "Bastard, the barbarian is extremely cunning, can you believe this?" ”

Bo Hezhen was very unconvinced, and said, "Amma, I want revenge!" Please let me besiege the city! ”

Abatai waved his hand and asked him to hurry up to take revenge, Abatai also wanted to kill the prince of the Ming Kingdom, and the shame of losing 30,000 soldiers in the blood of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong heard that the Tartars were coming to the army again, so he personally came to the city wall and looked down with a telescope, only to see that two miles away, the Qing army's large array of military flags was displayed, and there were crowds of people.

Zhu Cihong already knew from looking at the embroidery on the banner that the Qing army led the army was the king of the county or Baylor, and the general flag was blue, which should be Abatai, who was born in the blue banner.

Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhachi, and he was just promoted to Doro Rao Yu Belle this year, because he was born to a concubine, so he was snubbed, his father and slave snubbed him, and the eighth brother Huang Taiji also snubbed him.

When Huang Taiji was the emperor, the prince of the Dingzong family, Dolgon, Duoduo and his sons and nephews Hauge and Yuetuo were all crowned princes, and even Azig was also crowned the king of the county, but the forty-seven-year-old Abatai was still the title of Baylor.

Although the title of Baylor was preceded by the name "Rao Yu" (Manchu meaning wealthy) to show the difference, compared with the prince, the title of Baylor was two levels lower.

If you don't have a good relationship with your boss, what about your brother? That Prince Zheng Jierharang, who was originally the nephew of the old Khan Nurhachi, was still trusted and reused after his father and brother rebelled, and after Huang Taiji became emperor, he was also named Prince Zheng of Heshuo, who let him have an iron relationship with Huang Taiji since he was a child!

Abatai has always been suspicious of Huang Taiji, and he is very unhappy, not only the title problem, but the most important thing is that Huang Taiji deceives people too much, and he is afraid that his wife is also guilty! also set himself a charge of "being subject to his wife" and forced himself to divorce his wife!

The Qing army re-arranged the formation under the new city, with the three blue flag armors of Abatai as the center, the five Mongolian armors were divided into the front, back, left and right, and formed into five small formations, and the five Han army armors were in the forefront, and they were combined into a large array.

Zhu Cihong looked carefully through the binoculars, the Qing army had a clear banner, a neat lineup, and the unification was all soldiers in front and behind.

"I didn't expect Abatai's 'tracheitis' to lead the troops to be a good hand." Zhu Cihong said secretly, and at the same time sighed in his heart, this Eight Banners Army is indeed much stronger than the ordinary Ming Army.

Abatai was also carefully observing the new city, and saw that this city was really not small, but why didn't he find it when he went south to the Ming Kingdom a few years ago, and it was not shown on the marching map.

This marching map was redrawn by the Great Qing Kingdom in the last half a year, and it stands to reason that there will not be such a big mistake, which makes Abatai very puzzled.

Abatai half-body horses, everything against the Ming army, basically is invincible, conquering, the city in front of him, although a little mysterious, but he personally led 20,000 troops to take, it should be no difficulty.

After a general observation of Xincheng, Abatai immediately ordered the Eight Banners Han army of the two Jiala to start the first round of attacks on Xincheng.

There were more than 3,000 people in the two Han army armors, and they were in a large area, pushing shield carts to resist fire and bows and arrows in front, and soldiers pushing more than ten ladder carts in the back, and launched an attack on Xincheng.

Just when the Qing army began to attack the city and enter the firing range of artillery, Zhu Cihong waved his hand, and ordered the flag officer to quickly wave the command flag. ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! In the midst of a loud noise, dozens of Hongyi cannons on the city wall immediately emitted white smoke.

In the whistling sound, hot iron balls flew out of the city and smashed down into the Qing soldiers' pile, and the solid bullets weighing several pounds of Hongyi cannons jumped and rolled on the hard ground, directly bringing out a bloody road.

More than a dozen small solid bullets fired along with the cannon were even more chaotic, and one by one the Qing soldiers screamed and rolled to the ground, and the Qing army under the city had fallen a large area, and the shield carts and soldier arrays of the Qing soldiers were too dense, and it was difficult to miss.

The main force defending the city this time was the new battalion, and the Yongwei battalion, the Shenji battalion and the Shenshu battalion all became reserves.

The gunners of the new battalion, under the command of the leader of their own artillery team, calmly opened their guns and loaded their shells.

Although there is still a lot of gap between the current firing results and the gunners of the Yongwei Battalion, Zhu Cihong also feels that it is not ideal, but compared with other Ming troops, it is much more elite.

The gunner next to each gun constantly calculates the distance with measurements, and while they call the number, the other gunner constantly adjusts the muzzle elevation angle with the crank and screw.

Under their aimed shooting, the shield cars of the Qing army were smashed, the flesh and blood of the Qing soldiers in the array flew sideways, the ground was covered with corpses, and many people struggled on the ground and let out painful screams.

The fierce artillery fire of the Ming army caused a commotion in the camp of the Qing army coming in front, and it seemed that the shield cart next to them could not bring them safety at all.

Some of the Qing soldiers just couldn't help but shrink back, and they were whipped by the Bo and the Commander team behind them, and finally they continued to advance under artillery fire, and soon advanced for a mile.

Abatai couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many cannons on the city wall, and how could these cannons be so accurate?

He never dreamed that there was the word "science" in this world, and whether it was the Yongwei Battalion or the New Battalion, all gunners would have to learn the "Measurement Law" co-authored by Matteo Ricci and John Tang and others, which was used to measure the range of artillery, and the "Fire Attack Essentials" for measuring the elevation angle of the barrel.

Since learning these two types of expertise, and adding crosshairs and rulers to the artillery, the accuracy of the Brave Guard Battalion's artillery has also increased greatly.

The dense shells broke through several gaps in the camp of the Qing army, causing an indelible and terrible shadow on the psychology of the Qing army besieging the city.

The two Tartars who attacked the city in the front row, although they were extremely frightened in their hearts, they still didn't dare to retreat, and once they retreated, they would be killed by the Manmeng Eight Banners in the back.

It's really that once they become a coated minion, good things can't be turned, when cannon fodder charges, and the things that are sent to death are round by round, and they can't run away, and the only thing they pray for is to quickly capture the city and go in to vent.

When the Qing army attacked within 200 steps of the city wall, thinking that it had crossed the long-range attack range of the artillery, and was about to relax, suddenly more cannon sounds were remembered on the city wall!

On the walls of the new city, although the Hongyi cannons did not stare at them, those low-range Fran machine guns and tiger squat cannons began to fire one after another.

At this time, there was a dense row of artillery on the city wall, and they were all shotguns, and one by one the bullets flew in, and a large number of Qing soldiers were harvested at once, which was really a river of blood, and it was miserable!

Abatai couldn't help but frown, he could see clearly from the high platform of the Chinese army that the vanguard of 3,000 Qing soldiers had not yet run to the moat under the city wall, and half of it was wiped out.

The artillery of the Ming army was too much and too fierce, which surprised him a little, and he underestimated the Ming army stationed in the new city.

Abatai immediately ordered that all the men and horses besieging the city be withdrawn, although the Han army could be used as cannon fodder, but they could not be sent to death in vain, even the cannon fodder had to be used in the right place.

Hearing the sound of the horn of retreat, the Eight Banners Han Army immediately felt relieved, and they all turned around and ran, scrambling one by one, for fear that they would be one step slower, and in just a moment, the battlefield would become empty, leaving only more than a thousand miserable corpses.

Seeing the performance of the Han Eight Banners Army, Abatai snorted dissatisfiedly, the men and horses of the Eight Banners Han Army moved the fastest when they retreated.

Above the new city, the soldiers of the new battalion let out a burst of cheers, congratulating themselves on the effortlessness of repelling the first attack of the Tartars.
