A few Tartars were ordered by Abatai to come to the artillery camp position on this side of Gaopo to see what was going on, who knew that as soon as they came up, Wang Jian led people to kill them, Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan had a flat shoulder and a shovel, these Tartars even climbed down with people and horses, they really came up fast, and they went down in a hurry.

One of them was lucky, and when he got up, he was covered in blood, his hat was gone, and his horse was gone, and he limped back with his pigtail of money, and crawled to the ground with his skull.

Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhachi, the half-brother of Huang Taiji, but because he was born to a side concubine, he was often excluded from the periphery of the power struggle of the Qing Dynasty, but he had the blood of Taizu Nurhachi in his body, and he was also a great beyler of a supreme minister.

This person is a war-type talent, very good at fighting, and good at using soldiers. In that year, he once followed Nurhachi to fight in the south and the north, blocking the east and killing in the west, and the merit was not inferior to Amin and Yue Tuo, this is when he followed Azigvaming, and in just one month, he conquered 12 cities around the Ming Jingshi, and plundered more than 100,000 Han people, and the property was not counted.

If Lin Yi does not cross, according to the original historical development, his subsequent achievements are more brilliant and beautiful, a few years later, he again cut down the Ming, ravaged the Ming Jingshi, Zhili, Shandong, and Jiangsu, seven months to capture 94 cities, plundered the Han people hundreds of thousands, millions of gold and silver taels.

Guilty of the same crime, Huang Taiji could not tolerate Amin and Mang Gultai, but he was able to tolerate Abatai, not only because Abatai was his imperial brother, but also because of his great military exploits.

This time, Emperor Taiji appointed him as the director of soldiers and horses, which was to let him balance the thorns of Azig, Amin and Yue Tuo as an elder.

"Bei...... Le Ye, it's a big ...... The big thing is not good, the artillery battalion position ...... It's all the Ming army......"

The tartar was even injured and panicked, and he couldn't speak.

"How can there be a Ming army?" Abatai was shocked, Abatai used his troops well, before the ambush, he had surveyed the terrain here in detail, and sent his scouts to investigate the place within a radius of more than ten miles, and then began to ambush the people, could it be that these Ming troops fell from the sky?

Abatai couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't think about it now, no wonder his artillery battalion didn't exert its power, it turned out to be ended by the Ming army.

"Quick, annihilate this Ming army and recapture the artillery battalion position!" Abatai shouted wildly.

But as soon as his words fell, the cannon bombardment on the high post roared one after another.

Shells exploded in the dense area of the Tartars, sand and stones flew and smoke filled the air, and thick smoke rose with the light of fire, and some shells ignited trees and artemisia grass, and the flames rose to the sky, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

These Tartars were going all out to encircle and annihilate Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses, and this time they were blown up and dizzy, blooming everywhere, and some of them were blown to shreds, and there were no bones left. Some of the horses were frightened, rampaged, trampled on each other, and the casualties were incalculable.

In Lin Yi's opinion, the power of these cannons is too primitive, and the lethality is not even as lethal as a grenade in later generations. But in the era of cold weapons at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of these people in the late Ming Dynasty, the power of the cannon was simply more terrifying than the missiles of later generations.

The lethality of artillery is secondary, and the key is deterrence.

Therefore, after Lin Yi's first round of shells, tens of thousands of Tartars were blown up, and the people were panicked, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit.

Lu Xiangsheng's Ming army was able to breathe, especially Zu Keyong picked up the big axe and shouted while killing: "Lord Governor, it must be Lord Lin who attacked the enemy's fort!" …… Brethren, there are cannons to cheer us on, kill! ”

This time, Lu Xiangsheng and the others were more energetic, urging the war horses, turning the weapons in their hands, so that they could unfold all their solutions, and kill these Tartars to the ground, and the corpses were all over the ground, and now the Tartars couldn't trap them, Lu Xiangsheng's people and horses were like tigers entering the flock.

Abatai had never fought such a bad battle, and he was unwilling to lose, so he divided labor with the deputy general Tan Tai.

Abatai continued to mobilize heavy troops to besiege Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses, and Tan Tai quickly gathered a banner of men and horses with yellow flags and rushed towards Lin Yi's high post, intending to recapture the fort.

Tan Tai is also one of the founding generals of the Qing Dynasty, as famous as Sony, according to the original historical development, six years later, the Songjin War broke out, it was Tan Tai who cut off the return of the Ming army, that war Hong Chengchou was captured, and two years later Huang Taiji died, after Shunzhi ascended the throne, because of his young age, Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang promoted a group of auxiliary ministers, including Tan Tai, it can be seen how much ability this person has.

The current Tan Tai, the official Baigu Mountain Ezhen, is one of the Tartars, the original young and fierce generals, five or six thousand Tartars under his leadership rushed to Gaogang.

Lin Yi is commanding hundreds of soldiers such as Xiaoying Zhang Hua, groping for ammunition and preparing for the second round of shelling.

Facing Tan Tai's group of Tartars was Wang Jian commanded more than a hundred generals, and the Tartars charged and shot arrows at the same time.

Wang Jian and the others fought back with the favorable terrain, and soon the Tartars rushed to the high post, and the two sides fought together.

The Tartars were numerous, but Wang Jian and these people were extremely brave, Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan opened the iron pole and big shovel in their hands, and the Tartars were killed so that they turned over on their backs, and when the first round of charge was beaten down, Lin Yi's second round of artillery bombardment began.

Although there were only a dozen shells in this round, they were more skilled than the ones just now, and the hit rate had improved a lot.

Nearby, Tan Tai's thousands of men and horses were bombarded by several shells at the beginning of the second charge.

In the distance, Abatai was shouting, and several shells flew one after another, exploding left and right around him, and dozens of Tartars fell in pools of blood.

The pro-guards protected him and hurriedly transferred.

Then another cannonball whistled down, and with the clatter of his horse pistol, the horse was blown to the ground on the spot, and Abatai was lifted off his horse.

His guards were in a hurry, and when they helped them up, Abatai's face was covered in blood, and several Tartars hurried to change his horse and protect him from his escape.

Tan Tai failed to take this high hill in two charges, and when he was about to organize a third charge, he received the news that Abatai was wounded.

Tan Tai was shocked, it was already dark at this time, and by the light of the fire, his men and horses could not surround the Ming army at all, but were chased and killed by the Ming army everywhere with dead and wounded, and they could not form an army.

Tan Tai saw that this ambush battle should end now. If they continued to fight, they would only lose even worse, so he packed up the remnants of his army and ran away overnight.

Then the battle lasted for more than half an hour, the reason was that the Tartars retreated, Lu Xiangsheng and the men and horses instead bit and did not let go, but the defeat turned into victory, from passive to active, the Ming army carried out the battle until the end of the fixed watch, the typing that did not run was killed, and the lucky Tartars ran away without a trace under the cover of night.

Lu Xiangsheng ordered to rest the soldiers and horses on the spot, treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, take care of the booty, these trivial matters were naturally handed over to his generals to deal with, and he was in a hurry to see someone.

When Lin Yi and the others stood in front of Lu Xiangsheng to salute, Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak for a long time, but stared at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was also peeking at the founder of the Tianxiong Army, and under the light, he saw that this person was in the prime of life, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a burly figure, a square face, a pointed chin, a slightly red face, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, not angry but self-assured.

"You are Lin Yi?" Lu Xiangsheng finally spoke, his voice was loud and his face was kind.

"Exactly down there."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and the secret path was indeed a talent.

"How old are the years, what is the official position?"

"Back to the Governor, I was forty years old after spending my time in the next twenty, and I am now the general manager of the army."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head when he heard this: "It's really a buried, young age, so heroic, one person killed a hundred thieves, retreated on foot with the Tartar field battle, Yongping City won three battles and three victories, and now he has attacked the Tartar artillery camp, such a great feat, Your Majesty will be happy when you hear it."

Lin Yi took a look, how could he know his details so clearly? At this time, when he saw Zu Keyong next to Lu Xiangsheng smiling at him, he knew that it was his credit.

Lin Yi hurriedly said modestly: "My lord has an overreputation."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a straight face: "Don't be too humble, your merits are too great, even the governor feels ashamed, if it weren't for Your Excellency this time, the governor might be wiped out, the governor plans to go to the court to reward you, first wronged you to stay by the side of the governor as the guerrilla commander, are you willing?"

"Thank you for your love, and I'm flattered." Lin Yi hurriedly thanked him.

From the general manager to the guerrilla commander, there are still several levels in the middle, if you want to be promoted normally according to military merits, you need a lot of credit, and Lu Xiangsheng has cultivated it in one sentence.

The guerrilla commander is not small, he is a five-grade and five-official, capable of commanding thousands of generals, equivalent to regimental and brigade-level officers in later generations.

"You don't have to thank me, this is your hard work, you will be promoted to the imperial court, and after the documents of the military department are issued, you can officially confer the general. The governor will give you another pair of armor, a good horse, and 200 taels of silver. ”

"Thank you for your grace ......"
