At this time, the Tiger Skin Post became Sakhalian's headquarters, and Sakha Lianzheng, together with Kamutu and Turg, studied the progress of the offensive against the map. Suddenly, the window was bright, and the snow-white pillar of light shone on the Sanjin house of the Tiger Skin Station, and the room instantly seemed to become daytime: the strong light shining through the window, as in the daytime, the flame of the oil lamp was already negligible.

Several people hurried out to the courtyard to see what was happening. On the top of the watchtower, a huge light source shot out a narrow pillar of light like the sun, and the light source was still swinging up and down, left and right. The Eight Banners attacking the high ground have been fully exposed.

A volley of guns fired, and more than 30 soldiers fell to the ground in an instant. Two three-pounder guns also fired in turn. Under the sweep of the shotgun, another large piece was poured. Now the advantage is reversed, the Eight Banners are in the light, but the Ming army is in the dark, the archers can't see the Ming army at all, and the heavy arrows have lost their effect. In the Battle of Salhu, the past when the Ming army was shot by the Eight Banners in the dark while shooting torches is now reversed.

The Mao soldiers hid in all corners behind the carriage board, drew their horned bows and shot them with heavy arrows, and the muskets always fired in a volley every ten seconds. The Eight Banners made no progress in several attacks, and each time they threw down more than 100 corpses to retreat.

At this time, the four cannons under the watchtower were turning their muzzles, aiming at the courtyard of the Tiger Skin Post Sanjin, which was crowded with people coming in and out. With Li Yu's order, flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon at one time, and because of the close distance, a shotgun steel ball was used. A metal storm struck quickly.

When Kamutu saw the light of the fire on the hill, he knew that it was not good, and suddenly pounced on Sakhalian, and then a steel rain fell, and all the people who came in and out of the entire courtyard were swept to the ground, and the steel balls with a diameter of one centimeter pierced the roof tiles and ceilings, and the people in the house were not spared. Tables, chairs, benches and benches are all smashed. The green bricks on the ground are all pitted,

Kamatu was wearing triple armor and was still hit by a steel ball on the back heart guard, which was deformed on the spot. Through the triple armor and thick cotton clothes, a mouthful of blood spurted out directly and spit on Sakhalian's face. At the same time, I felt a sharp pain in my thigh, blood flowed out, and a steel ball broke the thigh bone.

"The effect is good, the 32-pounder cannon with an iron shell is still a good effect for 500 meters," Li Yu and the others said with satisfaction as they looked at the messy tiger skin post in the telescope.

This time the new ammunition was used, and the one-centimeter steel ball was packed in a thin iron barrel, and after being fired, due to the drastic change in the chamber pressure, it would break by itself, and then the directional steel ball would fly to the target in a relatively concentrated manner.

Jiannu outside the Tiger Skin Post was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly rushed into the headquarters to carry the wounded general away, and quickly retreated the headquarters.

Sakhalian pushed Kamutu away, wiped the blood from his face, and glanced at the top of the mountain with blazing eyes, and retreated without looking back.

As the offensive continued, the Youyang battalion was broken through in all directions, despite the help of searchlights. At night, the Youyang native soldiers lacked meat and had poor eyesight, and at the same time, Jiannu also used the most elite white swing tooth soldiers, one of Mosli Guerjia's armor, who took the lead in breaking through Ran Tianyu's defense and went straight into the Chinese army, and began to set fire everywhere.

"Team leader, Bai Shuai has brought someone here, asking to enter our camp," the scout came to report.

"Turn on the carriage and invite them in." Li Yu said.

Bai Zaixiang and Ran Tianyi, cursed in embarrassment, while retreating into the high ground with the remnants of the Chinese army. Youyang soldiers have two middle military camps, one pro-military battalion, 1,500 people, and there are more than 800 people left.

This is not a bad thing for Li Yu, Li Yu's more than 600 people, in addition to the 100 cavalry posts, have killed dozens of people and seriously injured dozens of people in the battle, and there are more than 400 people who can fight. More than 400 people in the remnants of Mao's soldiers retreated, plus more than 800 Youyang soldiers, the total strength reached 1,800 people. This high ground is not large, and it is more heavily defended.

Bai Zaixiang and the others boarded the watchtower and ordered their soldiers to beat the brass drum to inform them that the Chinese army had moved to the high ground and that there was no need to panic.

"Bai Shuai, Xia Guan suggested that all battalions in Youyang immediately withdraw into the watchtowers made of earthen sacks and the surrounding trenches to continue to resist, fight separately, and wait for dawn, haven't you already sent to Fengji Fort for help, it is estimated that these dozens of miles will be there tomorrow morning reinforcements."

Bai Zaixiang thought about it for a while, and thought that Li Yu's suggestion was right, and it was not cost-effective to fight directly and hard, especially in the dark night. So he decisively ordered, each army entered the nearby watchtower and trench to fight their own battles, and pushed the thirty small Fran cannons that Li Yu had exchanged prisoners with and captured by himself into the watchtower to continue to resist.

When the armies heard the sound of the brass drums, they all calmed down when they knew that the Chinese army was unharmed. They obeyed the order and retreated into the watchtowers lined up in the camp. Diaolou combat is the mode that Sichuan soldiers are accustomed to. The defence was clearly working. The camps were full of fires, illuminating the night sky, and the Jiannu who entered the camp could no longer hide, but the Youyang soldiers moved with each other through the traffic trenches, constantly deploying troops, and forming a whole to support each other, and the situation immediately changed.

When the watchtowers were first arranged, Li Yu suggested that the distance between the two watchtowers should not be longer than twice the effective range of the bow and arrow. In this way, even if Jiannu broke into the camp, he would be attacked from all sides.

Jiannu didn't understand how the Ming army disappeared at first, and when he found himself hiding in the watchtowers and trenches, he launched an attack on the watchtowers and trenches. But the firing holes of the watchtowers are small, and it is difficult for bows and arrows to get in. Exposure to oneself is a big target. The heavy infantry of the triple armor is okay, the two pieces of armor and the slave who is not in the armor Ahmen is miserable, although Youyang's bamboo bow can't shoot through the triple armor, but there is no problem in shooting through the two pieces of armor and the slave without armor at close range.

Jiannu jumped into the trench, and the Youyang soldiers directly swept directly with the small Francophone cannon to fire a shotgun and directly swept across, a line, or retreated to the corner of the trench and threw grenades directly.

As long as the Youyang soldiers on the watchtower saw the assembly of Jiannu, they immediately signaled, and the nearby soldiers jumped out of the trenches in groups, lined up in a long spear formation, first threw a grenade, and then lined up in a spear array to assassinate. When they had killed the small group, they immediately jumped into the trenches and scattered back to their nearest watchtowers.

When Jiannu's reinforcements arrived, everyone ran away, and there was not a single hair left. Moreover, the clothes and armor of the killed Jiannu were stripped off, the armor and weapons were taken away, and the head was cut off. All that was left was a mess of dead bodies. The angry house slave yelled. This feeling of passivity is too uncomfortable.

The watchtower was splashed with water and frozen into an ice wall, which not only played a role in reinforcing it, but also could not climb up without a ladder. The shield car could not advance the camp through the trench, rushed into the camp and found that he could not fully occupy it, very depressed, the watchtower looked down very clearly, Bai Zaixiang and others used binoculars to see more clearly in the watchtower, as long as there was a small group of Jiannu alone, immediately use the copper drum to command the nearby Youyang soldiers to carry the small Fran machine gun along the traffic trench movement in place, and then surround it on all sides to form a local advantage and eliminate it.

If there is a Jiannu in the trench to block it, bombard it with a small Fran cannon. Bomb with a grenade, shoot with a bamboo bow. Then he rushed up and slashed with a short knife, and the spear could not be used in the trench, and Youyang's horn bend was even more dominant.

Sakhalian watched the sky get brighter, and kept reporting the casualty figures, one after another Niu Lu Ezhen and Jia Lae Zhen, who were killed one after another, clenched their fists and rattled, he encountered such a tricky situation for the first time with his troops, and what he feared most was about to happen.
