Dolgon's proposal caused a shock in Yanjing City, and the expansion of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was not the expansion of one or two Niu Lu, but the expansion of one or two hundred Niu Lu, and it was a continuous expansion.

It's going to turn the sky upside down.

The Mongolian army flag is only 200 cattle records, and the full eight banners are only 300 cattle records together, and the Han army flag is not weaker than the Mongolian army flag, and now it will be doubled and expanded......

If you don't even think about it, you can know that the weight of the Han military flag in the Manchu political arena will greatly increase in the future.

The news was delivered to Hauge in the blink of an eye, and the latter also had countless thoughts in his heart, but they were all suppressed for the time being. The war is on the ground right now!

He had to admit that Dolgon's trick was really good.

- This is forcing the Han people who were included in the Han army flag to fight to the death with Zheng Zhilong, and they have to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

"The national fortunes of our Qing Dynasty, whether they survive or die, will all fight here!"

Hauge didn't play any more hypocritically, summoned the generals, and said loudly straight to the point.

On a finely crafted military map, there are large red strands marked in the southeast and southeast directions of Tongzhou. All the Qing army officers looked at the two thick red arrows, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately became solemn.

"There is no one here who is not in the flag, how much Zheng Thief hates the flag man, you all know it in your hearts." During this period, most of the high-level leaders of the Green Banner were traitors and thieves who had surrendered, such as Xu Dingguo and Liu Zeqing, who had been incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, or people such as Zu Kefa and Ke Yongsheng who were incorporated into the Han Army Banner before they entered the customs.

Everyone is a flag man, and they are all Zheng Zhilong's mortal enemies.

There was nothing wrong with Hauge's words.

"So the big guy still forgot about those troubles and distractions that shouldn't be there."

You have no way out. Liu Liangchen can still flee south, one is because he still has a big brother in the south who can hold the scene, and the other is because people fled early. And now? The road to the south of Tongzhou City has long been blocked by Zheng Jun, who can escape?

"This next battle of Tongzhou will let those Nanban see the power of our Eight Banner warriors! They are all fighting for their own future, but all those who are brave in battle, the regent has already given an explanation, regardless of whether they are high or low, they will all carry the flag. ”

Even if it's just the Han military flag, this is a great honor in the Qing Dynasty. You must know that in the original time and space, the famous Nian Qianyao was still a coated minion.

At this moment, Hauge really felt that Dolgon's aggressive expansion of the Han army flag was a clever move.

As long as people are included in the Eight Banners, this is forcing the Han people to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Of course, scum like Liu Liangchen is inevitable, but it is better than now.

All the people went out with blood on their faces, as if none of them were showing Zheng Jun, and Haoge also changed into a sturdy armor.

At the same time, the Zheng army, whose morale was high, had also forced outside Tongzhou City. Zheng Hongkui led the soldiers and horses to the south, and Zheng Zhilong led the main force to the east—at least 30,000 troops, lined up outside Tongzhou City.

One cannon after another was still dragging behind the line, pulling far and wide.

The cattle in the team were all used to pull the cannons, as well as horses, donkeys and mules.

Although it was an official road, the five-kilogram cannons, as well as some eight-kilogram cannons, together with the back of the artillery carts, weighed two or three thousand catties, which were too heavy, and each one needed to be pulled by two bullocks and four mules to make the cannons move faster than the marching speed of the infantry.

The artillery unit quickly set up the artillery, and another group of guards chose a suitable place and began to build an artillery position. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the saying that there is great strength in numbers. When the first 30 five-pound guns brought by the Zheng army were aimed at Tongzhou City and bombarded violently, the artillery positions had already been built, and the eight-pound guns and five-pound guns quickly advanced into the artillery positions.

The pressure on the Qing army was even greater, and the Qing army, which had always had insufficient artillery production, deployed only twenty or thirty heavy firepower in Tongzhou City. After all, Yanjing City behind it is also the focus.

How can this firepower be used to fight an artillery battle with Zheng Jun?

It's also a shame that Hauge didn't think so at all.

The solid breastwork walls that had been built had either collapsed with a bang or were already crumbling under the impact of iron bullets.

However, if you want to gnaw hard at the position of the Tartars, it will never work only by the bombardment of artillery.

They won't fight Zheng Jun head-on. Seriously, don't look at Zheng Zhilong pulling up such a large musket team, but how many times has the platoon gun-killing style of stubbornness appeared in the past few years through time?

No one is a fool, and no one will be able to stand up to it.

Especially the tartar who treats his own people as precious golden bumps.

If they are so iron-headed, after the old slave dies of illness, they should raise a large army to attack Ningyuan City for the second time.

Zheng Zhilong has been prepared for this for a long time.

The first is the shield car, a large modified shield car. Although they still can't stop the bombardment of the Hongyi cannon, at least the Fran machine guns, small cannons, and even the scattered shells fired by the Hongyi cannon, they are not afraid.

One or two hundred shield carts were pushed out in unison, and the artillery of the Qing army was going to bombard, and it was impossible to bombard them halfway, right?

Moreover, the effective range of front-loading smoothbore guns is not much longer than that of rifled guns, and the accuracy is not comparable. Even these improved heavy shield vehicles were half-bombarded, and they were also cover for snipers.

The second move is to dig a trench to advance, according to his imagination, it can refer to Li Yunlong's trench bomb throwing tactics in the bright sword.

The correctness of the bombing tactics had been proved in Cangzhou before, and this trench bombing was at most a stalemate first.

The Qing soldiers will definitely be able to find the trench, and they will definitely drop bombs to stop it. But as far as he knew, Tartar had not been specifically trained to throw bombs, but on the contrary, the latter was one of the subjects of Zheng Jun's recruit training.

Zheng Zhilong is sure enough to deal with Haoge's iron bucket formation, but it will take a little time.

His time is indeed tight now, because he doesn't know when Azig's horse army will return from outside the pass. But he can still afford to spend three or two days of hard work under Tongzhou City.

With shovels in the hands of the Zheng army, they had to dig a trench leading to the front line of the Qing army in the shortest possible time.

So, the moment the artillery began, the time when the artillery positions began to be built, they had already begun.

On a wide battlefield, ten trenches were launched in unison. Just like the pharaoh's snake, it quickly spread towards the Qing army's position.

Haoge stood on the gate tower of Tongzhou, and saw everything outside the city clearly under the telescope. It's just that his eyes are all attracted by the shield carts and the musketeers who are scattered.

"Tell Buckhouse. He wanted to be able to smash all the shields of Zheng Jun, and the king rewarded them with 10,000 taels of silver. ”

As for Zheng Jun's trench advance, Hauge has not yet felt any mortal threat.

Even the Qing troops on the front line, their eyes were all focused on the shield body.

The Tartars are simply too familiar with it.

The entire war of the Ming and Qing dynasties, in the final analysis, was a contest between the thick shield chariots of the Tartars and the inferior and unqualified firearms of the Ming army, and the shield chariots were a first-class threat in the eyes of the Tatars.

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

In the forefront trenches outside Tongzhou City, Tie Qing's cannon body glowed with a faint cold light, as if it could capture people's hearts, and several Hongyi cannons were hidden in it.

It is no different from the layout of Zheng Zhilong's raid on the castle of Relanza, it is a large concave circle, three or two zhang square, and the depth has not yet reached the wheel of the gun carriage, you can imagine the semi-basement of the later generations. A few cannons sat inside.

Scorching shells erupted, dazzling meteors slid by, and with a deafening sound, puffs of gunpowder were bound to rise.

Zheng Jun is doing his best to open fire, and they are going all out. If they were pushed in front of them by the shield cart, they would be greeted by Zheng Jun's grenade gun.

In the middle of summer, the wind outside Tongzhou City could not blow away the gunpowder smoke in the sky, because as soon as the pieces of gunpowder smoke were swept away, another stream of gunpowder smoke had risen from the battlefield again.

"Boom, boom—"

"Boom, boom—"

With the completion of one artillery position after another, and with the Zheng army's artillery in place, the artillery fire of the Qing army was completely crushed.

Buckhouse was the unlucky. For the heavy reward awarded by Hauge, he ran to the front line regardless of the danger, personally set the spacing, aimed at the angle, and wanted to fart and crash all the shield cars on the opposite side.

But farts don't. He couldn't have imagined that Zheng Zhilong was playing crushing this time.

After the Qing army's first line of artillery appeared, he ordered each artillery position, one by one, to be aimed at the attack. As long as there is smoke on the other side, then stare at the punch.

He didn't believe that with so many cannons, few blind cats could hit dead mice.

Of course, there was a collision. Buckhouse is the Bitter Master. Although his head was not cut off by a cannonball, and he was not killed by a powder barrel, the fragmentary artillery carriage almost killed him.

When the whole person was carried out, it was like a hedgehog, and his body was covered with wooden thorns.

Hauge's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the Leng monk who was commanding on the front line had a pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and the telescope in his hand was about to be deformed by him.

He could see clearly that the cannonballs on the opposite side were crackling, and although most of them missed, there were always lucky ones. An iron bullet hit the gun carriage straight away, shattering the heavy gun carriage and killing several surrounding gunners in the cracked wood shards. The barrel of the general's cannon was tossed up by this blow, and then fell heavily in front of the remnants of the gun carriage......

"Hit, keep beating me—" Rong Bao growled, roaring.

Zheng Jun's shield cart on the other side is still very much, and he will be reimbursed for a cannon here.

Of course he was angry, and he could only be angry. What else could he do?

"Boom, boom, boom—" another round of shelling came.

The artillery of the Qing army did not suffer, but the breastwork in front of one gun emplacement hit one after another, and the shells flew dusty.

"Boom-" A loud crash came from not far away from Shi Lang, and broken pieces of wood splattered in all directions. With the approach of the shield car pair, the firepower of the Qing army became more and more ferocious.

Not only the Hongyi cannon, but also the big furlong machine gun and the like also opened fire.

In the scream, he turned his head to look, but saw a phantom suddenly swaying in front of his forehead, with Shi Lang's reflexes were not at all able to dodge, and then he felt a heat on his forehead, and blood had already dripped to the corners of his eyes......

"Ah, General!" The soldiers around him were shocked, and hurriedly carried their shields and rushed to Shi Lang's side.

"It's fine!" Shi Lang wiped his forehead, small wounds, don't look at so much blood. "Go and tell the brethren that the sooner we get to the Tartar position, the safer we will be."

The Big Furlong cannon, the Little Fran cannon, the Weiyuan cannon, etc., are no longer as powerful as the Hongyi cannon, they are also cannons. If you hit too many times, you will also smash the baffle in front of the shield car.

"Push, keep pushing hard. Everyone is working hard, this Tongzhou has arrived, is Yanjing still far away? Shi Lang turned around and yelled at the soldiers pushing the shield cart in front of him. Zheng Jun's large shield cart can be pushed up by three or five people, but this improved shield cart is pushed by ten people, and it is still as slow as a snail.

Because, behind the baffles of these shield carts are bags of heavy dirt and sand, so that they can withstand scattered bullets and guns.
