"Why are you so many?"

Xia Guoxiang was puzzled, and immediately patted his horse and came to Hackland:

"Lord Dutong, the Ming army is a little strange today, just such a few people dare to go out of the city to face the battle, there will be no fraud, right?"

After hearing this, Haklan looked contemptuous, and sneered and said: "This Ming army has suffered heavy casualties in hard battles for days, and today it is no longer to defend the city, it is clear that they want to fight with our army in the field, once defeated, they can scatter and flee into the Da Lou Mountain, just rely on their men, what else can they deceive?" ”

Xia Guoxiang was right when he thought about it, he didn't know how many people Li Dingguo's defending Ming army there were, but he had never gone out of the pass to fight back in the past three days, so he didn't think it was much.

Thinking of this, he said flatteringly: "Lord Dutong, it turns out that they did this to make it easier to escape, and Benjiang thought that he didn't even need a cannon now, so how about letting Ben General's Green Battalion soldiers take the lead in fighting in the past?" ”

Unexpectedly, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's feet, and Hackland glared and shouted coldly: "Stupid! If there are cannons that charge without us, will they let their tiger squat artillery bombard us? How did you lead your troops into battle! ”

"Yes, yes, or is it thoughtful." Xia Guoxiang was busy complimenting him with sincere fear.

"Also, I said that my iron cavalry will fight today, so you can stay behind and watch the battle!"

"Forehead ......"

Xia Guoxiang was dumbfounded when he heard this, didn't he say that your cavalry would take the lead first, and then my green battalion would attack the city wall? Why did you see that the credit for breaking the level was about to be handed and then changed the hexagram? Three days before co-authoring, my people died in vain?

Harkland no longer paid attention to him, turned his head and shouted to a personal general beside him: "Pass my order, please send out the red-clothed cannon!" Fuck it first! ”

In the face of the arrogant and domineering Harkland, the titular general Xia Guoxiang felt bored and returned to the formation with his head bowed, but there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart: "Phew! Selfish fools! Wonder stuff! ”

……

With the wave of the flag, the cavalry of the Qing army moved forward neatly and slowly, until it was about two miles away from the Ming army, and then, a "crunch, crunch" sound sounded, and a battalion of artillery appeared in front of the cavalry formation, more than 300 armor and iron shield artillerymen, covering more than 100 gunners, and pushing more than 20 guns to protrude in front of the formation.

These guns were divided into two rows of gun positions, and slightly behind were six red-coated cannons, each weighing thousands of pounds of 18-pounder cannons, pushed by the efforts of a dozen gunners, lined up and slowly entered the position.

Standing out in front is more than a dozen small 12-pounder field guns, each with only three to four gunners, these guns have been advancing until about a mile and a half away from the Ming army before stopping, although the Ming army in front of them is all cavalry, but behind them there are 3,000 elite cavalry protection, they have the courage to advance to the best range before stopping.

As soon as they entered the gun position, the 12-pounder gunners in the front row were busy raising braziers, opening ammunition boxes, and stuffing gunpowder packs into the barrels......

It can be seen from their skillful movements that the artillery technology of the Eight Banners in this period has a great tendency to catch up, and both the casting technology and the ability to operate the cannon have surpassed the Southern Ming army of the same period.

Hackland took his generals to ride their horses to a small stone hill on the side of the road, squinted his eyes and looked at the operation of his subordinates from afar, with a satisfied and arrogant look on his face, in fact, their artillery battalion was more than these few guns, but this place was too narrow, and only half of the artillery battalion was placed in front of the formation.

But these few are enough, today is a good opportunity, it will not be long before the cannons from the field artillery will rain down on the heads of the Ming army, and after breaking up their formation, his three thousand iron cavalry will rush up and chase down these southern barbarians who do not know whether they are alive or dead, and dare to go out of the city to meet them.

In the end, his red-coated cannon could calmly bombard the wall, and the military households and civilians inside would all be dishes in his Manchurian warrior bowl by tonight at the latest.

The complacent Hackland was thinking about how many heads he could capture and how many prisoners he could capture in this battle, but there was a slight and dull sound of gunfire in his ears, and a strange scene happened......

Hackland, who was full of astonishment, looked at the busy gunners, who were actually getting their heads shot one after another, and the worst ones were even blasted off the entire upper body, and the rest of the gunners either looked around blankly, or fell to the ground in panic.

"How...... What's going on? ”

A startled Hackland, staring around with puzzled eyes, trying to figure out where the ghostly bullets came from, suddenly felt a blow to his chest.

In an instant, his world was plunged into darkness, and not only was his entire upper body blasted into the sky, but even the remaining half of his body flew off the horse's back.

The bullet that instantly shattered the upper half of Hackland's body, from a small hill three miles away on the west side, halfway up the bush, two Barrett heavy sniper shooters were lying quietly here, opposite them, on the hill on the east side of the mountain road, there was an ambush of the same pair of shooters.

This heavy sniper rifle not only has an accurate range of nearly two kilometers, but also a fully automatic sniper rifle equipped with a ten-round magazine, which is extremely capable of continuous fire.

After the Qing gunners were named one by one, the front shooter who had just changed a magazine heard the command of the deputy shooter to find an important target, and then, his scope firmly enclosed the center of the cross on the small stone hill in the distance, which was looking around in confusion, and from this moment on, Harkland was sentenced, and you only have two seconds left in your life!

The two special operations teams left by Lin Xiao did not count the assault rifles and carbines of the assault group, as well as the four machine guns of the fire team, and the sniper rifles of the sniper group alone had six Remington light snipers and two Barrett heavy snipers.

After He Shouxin's guards arrived in the starry night, Lin Xiao scattered the two special operations teams on various ridges on both sides of the mountain road, ordered them to find ambush positions by themselves, and specially issued an order to the snipers to be the first to attack the enemy artillery.

Without artillery, these Qing troops like chickens and dogs, in Lin Xiao's eyes, are all coolies who will open mines in the future!

Behind them, there were four teams of 500 cavalry battalion soldiers of Li Dingguo in ambush, in order to ambush the Qing army, Li Dingguo used these cavalry as foot soldiers, and hid behind the mountains farther away at night.

Xia Guoxiang, who was in the green battalion formation behind him, also discovered the abnormality of the front team, and he was secretly frightened, and immediately turned his head to look at Hackland, but he happened to see the terrifying scene of Hackland being blown in two, so frightened that he almost fell off the horse.

Before Xia Guoxiang could react, a more bizarre scene happened immediately, only to see the Ming cavalry in front of them scattering their horses to both sides, revealing the two sand bases behind them.

In the center of the sand barricade, there is the muzzle of the black hole of two M249 machine guns......
