According to the previous impression, under the cover of the chariots, although some chariots may be lost, most of them can effectively block the firearms attacks of the Ming army, and if they get close to them, and then engage in close combat, the Ming army will generally be defeated.

The casualties on the Qing side were basically in the process of approaching the Ming army. Of course, if the Ming army is a rabble, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, just need to lure the cavalry to make the Ming army mess up, and then rush to defeat the Ming army.

However, these Ming troops in front of them are obviously the elite of the Ming army. It is also for this reason that the Jianyu side will attack in the most cautious and confident way with the enemy.

The ground trucks are getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, seeing that the archers of Jianyu are already preparing and are about to start releasing arrows, the Ming army's side of the van car suddenly sounded the sound of "boom boom" ground artillery.

Of course, the artillery on the front of Gaizhou was bombarding, and at this time, the artillery on the flanks also fired, and there was no sudden feeling, at most it felt that the roar of the artillery was a little denser.

Of the artillery on both sides of the Ming army, only a small number of Hongyi cannons were arranged, and most of them were medium-sized Franc machine guns.

Although the muzzle of the gun doesn't seem to be too much, the rate of fire of the Franc cannon is fast, and there is no need to reload ammunition, as long as there is a sub-gun.

As a result, on the battlefield on both sides, with the unimaginable number of iron bullets in Jianlu, it really smashed into Jianlu's sea like a torrential rain.

"Whoa......

Most of the lintels, though thickened enough to withstand musket fire, were not strong enough to withstand artillery fire.

Every car that came closer was almost hit by a few iron bullets, just like papier-mâché, either smashed to a pulp, or simply penetrated directly.

The Jianyu behind these carts was hit by the iron bullet that was not exhausted, and immediately he was missing an arm and a broken leg, without any ambiguity. And those who were not hit also lost the cover of the chariot and were exposed to the Ming army's field of vision.

All the pikemen and other elements in the battalion, except for the busy artillery, all took their bows and arrows, and they did not need to aim, and all of them shot arrows in a covered manner, and they shot arrows as fast as they could. In this way, if the previous bullet rain was a bit exaggerated, then the arrow rain at this time is really not an exaggeration at all.

Those Jianlu, who had no cover from the chariot, were still thinking about hiding behind other chariots, or regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, when they were charging again, they felt that the sky was dark, as if dark clouds covered the sky. Before I could come back to my senses, I heard countless sounds of "poof, puff, puff", and they all became hedgehogs, their eyes wide open, and they didn't bat themselves.

Huang Degong looked at this scene, shook his head and said to Cao Bianjiao with a smile: "You say, are the two of us too losers?" ”

Just the consumption of ammunition and arrows just now is a huge expense. If it had been before, this would have been unthinkable.

It's really because of the emperor's full support that he can spend money so boldly! In the hearts of the two commanders, they both thought so.

The three battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor were trained in accordance with Qi Jiguang's method of training the army. And Qi Jiguang is very particular about the attack of long-range weapons, so even the pikemen are equipped with bows and arrows. It is not required to be accurate, but to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent before engaging the enemy.

This concept can be said to use money to reduce the casualties of one's own soldiers, which can be regarded as a people-oriented approach. And this is exactly the same as the view of later generations. Emperor Chongzhen therefore worked hard to make money and implement this philosophy.

This battle of Gaizhou is the first time that it has been truly implemented, and these Gaizhou prisoners should be said to have been stoned to death by money, and they can be regarded as well-deserved!

With such a fierce offensive, the two Jianyu armies that came to attack were stunned at once. They are also human beings, and of course they will be afraid. How can a flesh and blood body break through the double blow of a rain of bullets and arrows?

Without any order, the two Jianyu armies all retreated. How fast it comes, how much faster it is when it goes back.

Seeing this, Huang Degong sighed again: "It seems that our flintlock pikemen are useless!" ”

The original battle arrangement was that the Jianyu would continue to rush over and try to fight hand-to-hand, and at this time, the flintlock pikemen should take action to make up for the lack of artillery striking surface. If Jianyu is killed, he can rush to the Cheying camp again, and that is when the pikemen will make a move.

But now it's clear that the last few steps have been saved.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao looked at the arrows densely inserted in front of the car camp, as well as the broken carts that were smashed by iron eggs, shook his head and sighed: "We are really losers!" ”

Then, he smiled and said, "But it's really enjoyable!" ”

"Haha, spending money, and still spending so much money, of course it's enjoyable!" Huang Degong listened to it and laughed, but he quickly and abruptly accepted his smile and said to Cao Bianjiao, "How do I feel, no matter how well we practice martial arts in the future, I'm afraid it won't be of much use!" ”

"......" Cao Bianjiao listened, and he was rarely depressed, he didn't speak, but thought in his heart, is this what the emperor said about advanced civilization?

They are all like this, not to mention the construction that has just been experienced. Looking at the corpses in one place, the soldiers of the two captured armies outside the city were all afraid, and they almost felt that they couldn't come back. This Ming army is really too extravagant and too wasteful!

The attack of the armies on both sides completely died down. At this time, outside Gaizhou City, only the Ming artillery in front was still bombarding.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

And then to match it, there is the sound of "bang...... bang" from time to time.

Finally, the artillery of the Ming army needed to be cooled, and the sound of artillery finally stopped.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the dust dispersed, and on this section of the city wall south of Gaizhou City, it was like a king's hemp, a pit, a pit, and it was a little disgusting to watch.

At the head of the city, many battlements have disappeared, and the defenders on the city head will only be exposed to the vision of the Ming army outside the city without the cover of the battlements.

After the sound of the cannon stopped, the Jianyu who was hiding under the base of the city wall all went to the head of the city again, looking at the current situation of the city wall, all of them were silent. It can even be said that there is no sound in the entire Gaizhou city.

Compared to them, the Ming army outside the city seemed much more relaxed. The pikemen who were idle in the middle of the camp were all talking in a low voice with their fingers on the city.

After a while, the Ming artillery cooled down, and then the shelling began again.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Gaizhou City is like a powerless little daughter-in-law, who is bullied but does not dare to fight back. The so-called Gaizhou offensive and defensive battle was actually completely a unilateral performance of the Ming army.

If the Ming army could pay some casualties and start organizing the landing of the city while the artillery was bombarded, it would definitely be possible to occupy the city wall in one day. However, it is clear that the Ming army has no such plans. On the first day of arriving under the city of Gaizhou, it was just a day of shelling.

Towards dusk, the intermittent shelling of the Ming army finally stopped. The southern wall of Gaizhou City is even more miserable. It is also thanks to the city builders who blocked the city gate with mud in time, otherwise, it will definitely be penetrated, at least the original gate is rotten and can no longer be rotten. Also, the arrow tower at the head of the south gate city has completely disappeared.

The Jianlu at the head of the city continued to silently look at the Ming army outside the city, even if the fierce people among them were a little afraid in their hearts, the Ming army just shelled today for a day, I don't know how much gunpowder is consumed, right? Could it be that on the side of the Ming army, there is really so much money that it can be wasted like this? At the end of the day, gunpowder or something should be almost consumed, right? As long as you keep going, you're going to rush to the top of the city to fight hand-to-hand, right?

They were thinking about it, and suddenly, the sharp-eyed Jianlu saw that in the direction of the sea, there were groups of Ming army soldiers, not only were there many people, but more importantly, among the new Ming army, there were cars one after another, the same as before.

Suddenly, all the Jianyu wanted to scold their mother, what is the Ming army doing, just such a loser? Are they going to use firearms to knock down the city of Gaizhou? Crazy?

Gaizhou's Jianyu garrison is the most worried, I didn't expect that the Ming army during the day is not all, it's not good, it's just the Ming army's forward, such a large-scale attack, should it be the Ming Emperor's personal expedition again, this time it is to seize Gaizhou, Haizhou and other places, right? Otherwise, how could there be so much artillery and so much ammunition to waste?

So, a new messenger for help galloped out of the north gate and quickly disappeared into the north.

Seeing that new reinforcements had arrived, the Ming army temporarily retreated two miles, still within the vision of Gaizhou City, swaggering to meet and camp. Of course, the night guard on the periphery of the camp is indispensable.

Jian Yu didn't know that most of the Ming army that came over in the evening were actually just soldiers of the sailors, and they sent over the remaining side vans that the Panshi Battalion had specially left on the ship. In the middle of the night, he quietly left the camp and went back to the ship.

The reason why the whole thing is done is to give Gaizhou Jianyu an impression: the Ming Dynasty is attacking on a large scale!

If the scale is not large, how can there be so many artillery, and how can there be so much gunpowder to waste, just the shelling is a day, this is all money! No matter how rich the Ming army is, it is impossible that only 10,000 people can consume so much gunpowder!

After dawn the next day, the Ming army had a full meal, and then approached the city of Gaizhou.

Jianyu repaired the city wall of Xiagazhou overnight, and it can be seen at a glance that the repair is extremely inconsistent with the original city wall, and it is not a brick repair, but a wooden plank and mud bag or something.

"Come on, come on, keep throwing money!" Huang Degong smiled and said to Cao Bianjiao, "Continue to lose!" ”

So, on the side of the Ming army, just like yesterday, they bullied the city of Gaizhou for not having Hongyi artillery, and began to swagger and set up artillery positions again, and then began to shell again.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

This time, the Jianyu of Gaizhou did not send the flank army at all, because they knew that even if the flank army attacked, it would not be able to play a role in diversion, and the Ming army outside the city was too shameless, it was really a posture of smashing people to death with money, and it was impossible to fight, so they could only consume it first, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, or waiting until the Ming army outside the city consumed all the gunpowder, or, the city was broken......

However, what they didn't expect was that this time the artillery bombardment of the Ming army had a new trick.

After the shelling began, only observation posts remained at the head of the city. They were surprised to find that a counterweight catapult was assembled in the Ming army's vehicle array. It's not very big, and I put out the car formation and come to the city.

No matter what the Ming army was going to do, this situation was hurriedly reported to the Jianyu guard. However, looking at the battlements that are constantly being bombarded on the head of the city, what can the defenders of Jianyu do, then the city head can't stand at all, and can only follow what the Ming army does, just wait for the Ming army to enter the city, and then fight.

In fact, the catapult did not come much closer to the city, and stopped about a stone's throw away. The soldiers of the Ming army immediately operated. From the rear, large frames were transported, and balls were fixed in them. After lighting the fuse, he placed it on a catapult and began to launch it into the city.

This framed sphere is a sharp weapon for defending the city. At this time, it was used by the Ming army to attack the city.

I saw 10,000 enemies being thrown out by catapults, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, crossing the city wall, and falling into the city.

Although the Ming army could not see the situation in the city, they could observe the thick poisonous smoke in the city, as well as the frightened shouts of the prisoners heard in the interval between the cannons.

Hehe, let you hide inside!

"Drive the captives far away, and by the afternoon, you can attack the city and occupy the city." Cao Bianjiao said to Huang Degong with a smile, "I was in charge of the back before, but this time, it's my turn to attack the city first!" ”

"......" Huang Degong was stunned when he heard it, "Otherwise, Gaizhou will belong to me, Haizhou is yours!" ”

"That's not going to work!" When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "If you don't fight Haizhou, the emperor's will will arrive, I won't do it!" ”

In the decree given by Emperor Chongzhen, it was said that this side would land and attack Gaizhou, Haizhou and other places with great fanfare, but the emperor's side would pass the decree in time according to the changes in the situation, and then it was necessary to retreat in time without any delay.

When the battle was very lively on the Gaizhou side, the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army finally began to appear and perform the performance they were supposed to perform.

Thanks to the fact that Jianyu sent more than 300 ships to the Dongjiang Army's naval division, the Dongjiang Army had enough ships to transport troops not only to Gaizhou, but also to the Yalu River.

Li Dingguo's 2,000 cavalry troops had already reached the west bank of the Yalu River. However, he did not attack immediately, but let the war horse rest for a long time before rushing into the hinterland of Liaodong.

At this time, Liaodong is full of green and full of life. In the farmland, there are also wheat seedlings and something. Jianyu supervised the plundered people of the Ming Dynasty and was waiting for the land. Whether you eat bran or go hungry this year depends on the harvest this time.

Li Dingguo's cavalry army came to this point.
