Approaching noon, the sun gradually stretched out in the sky, and the battle formation of Wu Sangui's three divisions gradually advanced to the range of about one mile of Haicheng, entering the danger zone.

At this time, standing on the head of Haicheng, looking at the past, Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, and Tang Tong were like three polluted red tides, and with the help of the continuous fortifications behind them, they were about to impact the 'embankment' of Haicheng.

After all, it is the elite background of the nine sides.

Whether it is Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, or Tang Tong, no matter whether their reputation is good or bad, they are all leaders of this era, and they are all experienced in the battle array.

Xu Changqing couldn't help nodding secretly.

Compared with the utilitarian nature of the Qing army's fortifications, or called Yeluzi, Wu Sangui's third department is a bit like a professional background, and the combination of theory and practice is very good, basically no mistakes can be found, if it is not for Haicheng has a strong strategic reservation and reserves, even Xu Changqing will have a big head.

In the final analysis, it is the Han people who understand the Han people better, after all, it is a product of the system.

They know how to use their own advantages to suppress Haicheng's advantages.

Don't think that Guan Ning or other nine-sided elites, the most powerful is cavalry and cavalry warfare, even if it is Guan Ning, cavalry only occupies a small part, and what they are best at is foot combat defense!

Consciousness determines form.

From the 'Tumubao Change', the Ming army has basically completely lost the ability to get out of the fortress, in the face of the Mongol tribes, the general trend has been fully transformed into defense, this time, the cavalry in addition to shouldering a part of the night not to collect the task, more, but to suppress the internal ......

If it is placed in the current state, it is basically impossible for Wu Sangui Sanbu to advance steadily and steadily.

Because whether it was facing the Qing army or the Mongols, they may have been crushed before they could even stand on their feet.

But at this time!

With the main force of the Qing army behind their backs, the cavalry of the model army was not strong enough to pose a threat to them, and it also allowed their heritage and advantages to gradually spread.

"Hehe, Regent, in the end, it's the elite of the Ming army, they are still available."

The battle formation of the Qing army, seeing that the three divisions were about to enter the rhythm, Zilharang was obviously in a good mood, stroked his beard and smiled, and looked at Dolgon.

Dolgon naturally understood what Jilharang meant, and nodded with a smile: "Since this is the case, let Zu Zerun act as a backup." ”

Zilharang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly smiled: "The regent is wise." ”

Soon, the elite of the ancestral family, about three or four thousand people, who had been reorganized, were also brought forward from the rear.

Wu Sangui soon received the news.

Xie Sixin couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Handsome man, I'm afraid we'll have to die in front of us......"

Wu Sangui's face was solemn, but his eyes were blazing: "It's okay!" Let's do our best! ”

On the other side, Bai Guangen and Tang Tong also received the news soon, and their faces were a little unsightly for a while.

This is the slightest way out for them!

But at this time, people are swordsmen, they are fish and meat, and they can't help them, so they can only grit their teeth and continue to push forward.

At the head of Haicheng City, seeing that Wu Sangui's three divisions were about to enter the second trench of Haicheng, and were already about to enter the range of the catapult of the model army, Wu Xiang's heart couldn't stop rising to his throat.

Can their sons and daughters of Guanning withstand the might of the model army......

As Wu Sangui's Guanning Department took the lead in entering this super dangerous area, the battlefields on both sides, everyone's hearts followed.

The big war is on the verge of breaking out!

……

At the same time.

In the north of the Qinchuan River, on the bank of the rolling white water, Li Zicheng, the emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, has personally come here to supervise the battle, and on the opposite side of the Baishui River, which has been half-dissolved, is the huge camp of Haoge Zhenglan Banner stretching for several miles.

"These days, have the Tartars moved?"

Li Zicheng asked Yuan Zongdi, the main general here, a little coldly.

Although he ascended the throne in Beijing, his butt was not hot yet, and he was driven to Qinchuan, his nest, like a dog by the Qing army, and Li Zicheng's mood was really not very good.

The key is that although Li Zicheng is from Qinchuan, he doesn't have much support in Qinchuan, and everyone looks down on him as poor. Cock. Silk......

At this time, Xijing was also in turmoil, and it took a lot of effort to temporarily stabilize Xijing and let him return to what he was best at.

Yuan Zongdi hurriedly said respectfully: "Emperor, my subordinates don't know what's going on, and the Tartar has been restrained since five or six days ago. Except for blocking the banks of the Whitewater River with rangers, there has been no rash action. subordinates, subordinates faintly heard some news, some news that is not clear for the time being, and it may have a lot to do with it......"

"Huh?"

"What's the news?"

Li Zicheng hurriedly looked into Yuan Zongdi's eyes.

This is also the greatest sorrow of the displaced people's army.

When the momentum is in and out, there are countless vassals in the world, so that Li Zicheng can easily have the illusion that the general trend of the world is under his control.

However!

was rushed by the sharp edge of the Qing army, and many things quickly entered the rhythm of collapse.

At this time, even if they retreated to Qinchuan, the main roads in and out of Qinchuan had been blocked by the Qing army, and they were completely deaf and blind, and they had almost no judgment on the overall situation, so they could only focus on their own one-third of an acre.

Yuan Zongdi actually received some news as early as three days ago.

But the source of this news was not correct enough, it was transmitted by the people on the other side of the Baishui River, it was very like a 'wind rumor', and the authenticity could not be determined, so he did not immediately report it to Li Zicheng.

But at this time, carefully observing the battle formation of the Haoge Division, Haoge, who had always been tyrannical and arrogant, began to be honest, and Yuan Zongdi also began to think more seriously about the correctness of this news, and basically made a judgment in his heart.

"Emperor, yes, it's about Xu Changqing, the loyal and righteous uncle. It seems that there are rumors that Xu Changqing set up an ambush in Shanhaiguan some time ago, defeated the Du Du Department with the red flag, and took the royal court of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the little emperor of Shunzhi fell into his hands. Now, the main forces of the Qing army have all converged in the direction of Haicheng, and Haoge here will not dare to move......"

"What?"

"Actually, there is such a thing?!"

Rao is Li Zicheng has a big heart that is far beyond ordinary people, but when he heard this kind of news, the whole person was still a little confused.

The battle of Shanhaiguan was a nightmare that he would never get away with in his life, but not long after he sadly returned to his old nest Qinchuan, Xu Changqing was actually over there, serving the Manchu royal court......

This is no longer a slap in the face, this is simply peeling.

He Li Zicheng has been mixed up for most of his life, but he can't even reach Xu Changqing's skin......

Fortunately, Li Zicheng is not a mortal after all!

Even if he was compared to Xu Changqing, he quickly focused on the overall situation.

If that's really the case...... Then, Qin Chuan's crisis may be solved!

You must know that when he came to Baishui this time, in fact, Dashun had reached an agreement within the country and was ready to give up Xijing and retreat south to Huguang.

The main thing is that the Battle of Stone is too bad, and they must find a stable place to recuperate and then make a comeback.

Who would have thought that Xu Changqing would give him such a big gift......

However, although his heart was agitated, he was simply overturned, but Li Zicheng did not show half of it on his face, and looked at Yuan Zongdi and said, "Is the news accurate?" ”

Yuan Zongdi gritted his teeth and said: "In the opinion of my subordinates, I am afraid of eight. Nine is not far from ten. Emperor, it is not difficult to determine whether this news is accurate. But if you go to Tongguan and ask about the movements of the Azig Ministry, it will be very different. ”

Li Zicheng made a decision in a moment, "Old Yuan, I'll leave it to you here!" I'm going to Tongguan now! ”

……

Just when Li Zicheng hurriedly rode his horse to Tongguan, outside Haicheng, the battle was officially launched.

As the auxiliary troops of Wu Sangui's three divisions began to fill the second trench, thousands of catapults on the head of Haicheng City opened fire mercilessly.

"Bang!"

"Bang Bang ......"

For a moment, the sky was obscured by a terrible meteor shower, countless flowering bombs flew sideways with tyrannical fuses, and between the violent explosions, the rich smell of gunpowder smoke continued to spread and expand.

"Lie down!"

"Lie down!"

"Pile up the bags of sand in front of you, and don't even look up!"

"Shrink behind the earthen wall......"

The quality of the auxiliaries is much higher than that of the people.

Under the desperate shouts of countless generals of the three departments, countless auxiliary soldiers lay down on the spot, looking for cover, like rats, unable to raise their heads at all.

But they did a lot of work to fill in this second trench, and the preparation here alone took more than an hour.

Near the second trench, there were large and small earthen walls and potholes, and as soon as the Model Army's flowering bomb offensive began, they quickly took refuge in their bunkers.

Not long after, five or six rounds of the Model Army's flowering bomb offensive passed, and the entire battlefield was in a mess everywhere, and in the smoke of gunpowder, countless three auxiliary troops became like gray rats, not daring to move.

But this kind of almost indiscriminate blow is not very effective!

The range of the catapult is still too close, and many auxiliary troops of Wu Sangui's three departments have built a large number of bunker fortifications around the catapult, just like the red-clothed cannon in front, the suppressive force is absolutely enough, but it is difficult to inflict substantial damage on them.

"Mother Xipi, monkey spirit!"

At the head of Haicheng City, Xu Changqing quickly stopped the catapult from continuing to fire, allowing the gunpowder smoke to disperse and better observe the situation.

After noticing that the rain of bullets and bullets of the model army had stopped, countless officers in the three divisions began to shout loudly again, and behind them, one by one, the auxiliary soldiers kept carrying new bags of sand and soil, almost without looking, and threw them into the trenches one after another.

By the time the smoke had almost cleared, the trench had been mostly filled.

Many of the auxiliaries of the Third Division even jumped directly into the trenches to dodge the upcoming offensive of the Model Army.

"Lord, these people are actually more difficult than the Tartars, I'm afraid they can't be stopped......"

Beside Xu Changqing, Li Yan frowned, and his face was solemn.

Ergou also said: "Dashuai, otherwise, let's let them come over and do it again." If you do it now, the suppressive force effect is not good, and the ammunition is wasted. ”

Not far away, Wu Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

The flowering bomb is indeed a genius idea of his son-in-law who has crossed the ages, however, the flowering bomb is not invincible, as long as you find the right way, you can also restrain it!

Xu Changqing nodded unhurriedly.

The current situation is basically expected.

Although the flowering bomb has achieved some results at this time, it is still in a primitive state, and it can indeed play a decisive role in field warfare, but in positional warfare, especially in this long-planned long-range positional warfare, the effect is suppressed layer by layer.

Especially in the face of such a well-trained and very obedient Han army, this kind of effectiveness has to be suppressed again.

However, Xu Changqing is not worried.

Things are dead, people are alive, and it's time to give Wu Sangui some sweetness.

"Let them come. Inform the second gunners, don't strike rashly, let them come over, and shoot freely! ”

"Yes!"

As the model army's flowering bombs really ceased fire, Wu Sangui's three divisions couldn't help but boost their morale, and began to fill in the second trench quickly, and after crossing the trench, they quickly built various new bunker fortifications.

Almost in a few minutes, near the second trench, at a depth of fifty or sixty meters, their bunker fortifications had taken shape.

It's like we're already coveting the first trench!
