After the Ming army successfully walked out of Da Mizuzawa, the symptoms of the soldiers who contracted malaria gradually improved.

From the beginning of the chills, diarrhea did not stop to the fact that he was able to march and hurry.

It's just that the speed is much slower than that of the large army, so Zhu Youlang specially ordered someone to slow down the marching speed.

His principle was not to abandon or abandon any soldier.

Speed is not a problem, anyway, in Zhu Youlang's opinion, this battle in Changsha is inevitable.

Coming to the vicinity of Xiangyin, the Ming army met with the first resistance.

The Qing army set up an ambush along the river and brought in several red-coated cannons.

Fortunately, the Ming army sentinel discovered in time, and the Ming army withdrew from the ambush circle as soon as possible.

Although nearly 100 people were lost, this loss was quite acceptable.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Dongyu would set up an ambush in Xiangyin. The minister thought that they had panicked, and only dared to retreat near Changsha Mansion to defend. ”

Li Dingguo said with some shame.

"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. You are not to blame for this. ”

Zhu Youlang said in a harmonious voice: "I see that the Dongyu have set up a battle to fight us to the death, so the king of Jin will set off a cannon and invite them to drink a pot of good." ”

Naturally, he is not blindly confident.

In terms of field warfare, the light artillery of the Ming army was not much worse than that of the red-coated artillery.

The redcoat cannon is extremely heavy, which limits its flexibility. Cannons can only be fired from fixed positions and angles.

And the field artillery of the Ming army can adjust the angle at any time and bombard with the help of terrain advantages.

Therefore, once the Ming army mastered the position of the Qing army, those red-coated cannons became targets.

And the Ming army could adjust its position at any time, leaving the Qing army scratching their heads.

"Obey the order!"

In Da Shuizawa, Li Dingguo held back his anger, and at this moment, he vented his anger against malaria on these thieves.

"Adjust the cannon and give me a hard shot!"

Strictly speaking, the field artillery of the Ming army was in the Tiger Army.

But now that the Son of Heaven has made an order, Li Dingguo is naturally able to command the Tiger Army.

Zhao Xu immediately transferred the artillery battalion and set up artillery according to the established pattern to aim at the ambush point of the Qing army.

Although it is impossible to see the details clearly from this distance, it can be seen that this is a temporary stockade built along the mountain.

A stockade of this intensity simply could not withstand several rounds of shelling by the Ming army.

Zhao Xu estimated that they would be able to cry and call their mother in three rounds.

As a staff officer of the artillery battalion, Li Shishi was fully responsible for the attack.

He and Zhao Xu can be said to have a very tacit understanding, and the other party only gave a look, and he immediately understood what to do.

Hehe, Brother Xuzi, just look at it, this time I will definitely blow up Dongyu.

"Fire!"

Li Shishi gave an order, and more than a dozen field guns fired together.

The artillery shells of the Ming army were mainly grenades, and even if the shells could not kill the opponent immediately, the fragments could cause considerable damage.

In comparison, the solid cannon of the Qing army was very bulky.

As long as the Ming army found cover, they did not have to worry about the shelling at all.

This unequal pattern soon overwhelmed the Qing army.

The artillery bombardment of the Ming army came one after another, and there was no intention of stopping.

A shell exploded in the Qing army's village, and the explosion blew dozens of Qing soldiers into mud.

The Qing soldiers in the vicinity were also not safe.

Shrapnel splintered into their eyes, necks, and viscera, and screams of pain rang out one after another.

"Sss

Tian Youfang, the general of the Qing army in charge of the ambush, gasped.

It's too fucking fierce.

This is even more fierce than the Governor said.

With such a play, it won't be long before they're going to be blown into slag.

Where did the Ming army get so many artillery?

"General be careful!"

Tian Youfang was thinking to himself when a cannonball smashed towards the handsome banner he was in.

Before he could react, the soldiers threw him to the ground.

Tian Youfang threw a dog to gnaw on the mud, ate a mouthful of soil, and made his face gray.

He values his image the most, and it takes half an hour to get up every day just to tidy up and freshen up in the mirror.

Not to mention that this is in the army, it is extremely rare among ordinary men.

This Tian Youfang is mentality exploded.

His braids were wrapped around his neck three times, and he was nearly strangled to death.

Fortunately, the soldiers untied their braids in time, and Tian Youfang gasped for breath, and it took a long time to calm down.

"The thing raised by the son of a bitch can shoot so far!"

Judging from the range of the artillery, the artillery of the Ming army was no worse than the red-coated artillery, and they had more artillery, so the Qing army suffered a loss in terms of firepower.

Tian Youfang's army still has a very high proportion of firearms, and if even they can't support them, it proves that the Qing army is not a little backward in terms of firearms.

"Why are you stunned, fight back for Lao Tzu! You can't lose your momentum! ”

To be honest, at the moment when he was sent by the governor to Xiangyin to block the Ming army, Tian Youfang was very reluctant.

Good guys, even a fortified city like Wuchang can't stop the Ming army's soldiers, they actually think that Xiangyin can.

And this unlucky guy who commanded the army is still him.

But there is no way, the military order is like a mountain.

If Tian Youfang didn't agree at that time, the Governor would not have the slightest hesitation, and would definitely order someone to push him out and behead him immediately.

Anyway, Tian Youfang had already thought about it, and it was okay to call him, but he wouldn't stick to it.

When he sees that the situation is not good, he will run away immediately.

Of course, you still have to try it, otherwise you don't know the gap between them and the Ming army.

The Qing artillerymen poured cold water into the breeches to cool down the artillery.

Although the redcoat cannon is very powerful, it has a fatal drawback, that is, the barrel must be cooled with cold water after each shot.

In this way, there was a long intermission, and in the face of the onslaught of the Ming army, there was only the power to parry, and there was no ability to fight back.

Now is the stage of artillery bombardment between the two sides, and the Qing army can still support it for the time being.

If the Ming army launched a charge, the Qing army would really have a big head.

"Give Lao Tzu a very good spirit, if we let the Ming army over, none of us will survive!"

In order to stimulate the army's desire to fight, Tian Youfang portrayed the Ming army as a group of villains who do all kinds of evil and devils who kill people without blinking.

He hoped that the soldiers would be able to improve their combat effectiveness even because of fear.

Overall, the army under his command still has the strength to fight, and he doesn't want to be separated by just one round of encounters.

"The Governor said that those who kill Yongli will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and those who kill Li Dingguo will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver! Remove the header and cash it out now! ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, but Tian Youfang drew a big pie.

Sure enough, hearing that there was such a rich reward, the eyes of the Qing soldiers showed a greedy look.

What is the concept of 10,000 taels, you can't spend it in a lifetime.

Obediently, I can't imagine that the head of the puppet emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so valuable!
