In Zhao Xu's opinion, this kind of positional warfare is the most suitable for a salvo of firearms.

In particular, the flintlock gun, which has recently been installed, is much easier to operate than the arquebus, and can play its greatest role on the battlefield where every second counts.

Since the Dongyu is coming to die, then invite them to drink a pot of good ones.

Li Shishi is Zhao Xu's most trusted general, and the Fire Gun Battalion is under his command.

Zhao Xu only gave Li Shishi a look, and the other party understood.

"Array!"

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were all well-trained, and when they heard the order, they raised their flintlock guns one after another.

Donglu was getting closer and closer to them, and instead of being nervous, they had a faint hint of anticipation.

Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps.

"Put!"

The reticle of the flintlock gun at about a hundred paces was still very high, and with Li Shishi's order, the soldiers of the fire gun battalion pulled the trigger one after another, and the Qing army that charged under the volley of fire let out a wail.

The cotton armor they wore could not resist the power of the flintlock, and it was pierced like a piece of paper.

The Qing soldiers who were shot were covered in blood and rolled on the ground in pain.

Eventually they will die from blood loss, but there is a long process that they will struggle with until then.

"The first row is back, the second row is forward!"

"Ready, put!"

The array transformation of the fire gun camp was personally taught by the Son of Heaven, and in his words, this is called queuing and shooting.

In fact, it is similar to Mu Ying's three-stage hit.

Either way, the advantages of the flintlock are perfectly reflected in this moment.

Compared to bows and arrows, firebolts are more powerful and brutal and direct.

Compared to the arquebus, the flintlock can be used in bad weather and will not be affected.

In addition, the flintlock has a faster rate of fire, which can kill enemies more directly.

The Qing soldiers who charged instantly became the souls of the guns, and their deaths were extremely terrifying.

It also made their companions feel uneasy and stopped.

thought that the Ming army was already a fish on the chopping board that could be slaughtered, but who would have thought that they were ruthlessly placed by the Ming army.

But those Qing soldiers who hesitated were soon urged by the military court.

In Hong Chengchou's view, the firearms of the Ming army are no matter how sharp they are, and the ammunition will always run out.

Anyway, he has the advantage of numbers now, so he doesn't have to think about the battle damage, and he just relies on human lives to fill it.

Charging is also death, and retreating is also death.

The difference is that retreating is certain death, and there is still a glimmer of life in the charge.

In desperation, these Qing soldiers launched a charge again.

"The second row is back, and the third row is on top!"

Li Shishi read the password skillfully.

They don't know how many times they have practiced the process of queuing up to shoot, and there is no pressure to operate it in practice!

Under the suppression of powerful firepower, the Qing soldiers fell one by one.

But as Hong Chengchou expected, the Ming army had limited ammunition. Not only is ammunition limited, but so is the number of firearms.

Even the Tiger Army is only equipped with a thousand flintlock guns.

Not to mention Li Dingguo's army.

But even so, the speed of the Qing army's advance was greatly affected.

Most of Li Dingguo's troops are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and although they do not have the most advanced firearms in their hands, they can only rely on arquebuses and bows and arrows to drink a pot of Qing soldiers.

Arrows flew all over the sky, weaving into a huge net.

The attacking Qing soldiers were all enveloped in this huge net, and no one could escape.

"Shoot, shoot hard for Lao Tzu!"

Li Dingguo's subordinates are all ruthless characters, even if Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan, who are the most capable of fighting, are not here, it will not affect their command of the army at all.

The Qing soldiers who rushed towards them fell one by one, and by this time the Ming soldiers had almost no casualties. Hot search

Ao Bai was a little breathless when he saw this. He complained to Hong Chengchou: "I said Lao Hong, even if you fill it with human life, it's not such a way to fill it." ”

"Why, Lord Ao has no confidence in this scripture?"

Hong Chengchou asked half-jokingly.

Ao Bai shook his head and said, "That's not what it meant. ”

In fact, Ao Bai doesn't care about the life or death of these green battalion soldiers at all, as long as he can win this battle, what if these green battalion soldiers are dead?

Anyway, there are so many Han people, and some of them are like eating imperial food to join the army.

When the time comes, just call a new batch.

It's just that he thinks it's a little bad to continue with this momentum.

At this moment, Ao Bai regretted giving up the commander-in-chief of the battlefield to Hong Chengchou, would the situation be better if he was in charge?

Hong Chengchou was completely indifferent, as if the war had just begun.

Zhu Youlang, who was beating drums in the distance, was thinking about what Hong Chengchou's true purpose was.

As an experienced old fox, it was impossible for Hong Chengchou to consume his vital strength without purpose.

He must have done so for a purpose.

At this moment, Han Miao pointed to a black dot in the distance and said, "Your Majesty, look! ”

Zhu Youlang hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that he couldn't see the details clearly, he took out the only monocular in the Quanming Army and observed it carefully.

I saw dozens of trebuchets lined up on the high post not far away, all of them facing the position of the Ming army!

It turned out that Hong Chengchou was playing this wishful thinking.

At this moment, Zhu Youlang suddenly realized!

The purpose of the charging green battalion was to convince the Ming army that the Qing army was going to fight them in a decisive battle here, and to force the Ming army to fight a positional battle.

And once the Ming army put on a positional battle posture, Hong Chengchou can follow his next step.

These trebuchets are no less powerful than artillery in positional warfare. Because artillery shelling requires intermittent and limited ammunition.

But trebuchets are different, and there are countless huge rocks in the vicinity, which can be said to be at your fingertips.

The Ming army, which was confined to a fixed range, only had the power to parry.

The situation is already critical.

It's just that Zhu Youlang doesn't understand it a little.

How can Hong Chengchou ensure the safety of these charging Qing troops?

Could it be that he has already given up these Qing soldiers as cannon fodder in his heart?

If that's the case, it's horrible.

Zhu Youlang immediately ordered someone to inform Li Dingguo of this discovery.

As the commander in chief of this war, Li Dingguo is obviously also aware of the seriousness of the problem.

From the very beginning, the Qing army was luring the Ming army to attack from the north of Changsha.

And the attack on the northern city of Changsha inevitably had to pass through the Elk Plain.

Then they set up an ambush here to lure the Ming army into positional warfare.

Everything may be for the moment when the trebuchet attacks.

Do you want to choose a breakout?

Break through before the Qing army is completely blocked?

Or do you choose to continue positional warfare?

At this moment, Li Dingguo was a little hesitant.

At this time, he saw the Son of Heaven give him a look.

Li Dingguo came to his senses.

Just do it.

The Son of Heaven is not afraid, what is he afraid of.

Today I will fight the Tartars in the dark.
