It is human nature to be greedy for life and fear death.

At the moment of death, the first thing most people think of is to live. Their first thought was to save their lives.

Just like now. Facing the threat of death.

Escape!

There was no other reaction, and for almost all of them, their only reaction was to run away. It's to get out of this hell.

Those who escaped from the trenches even forgot to avoid the shelling, but just fled to the rear desperately, even if the shells fell on their side and tore all the creatures within a radius of more than ten zhang to pieces, they could not stop the people from escaping.

After all, compared to the shells that fall overhead. The gunpowder buried deep under the trenches posed a greater threat to them. The reason why they fled in such a hurry was precisely to leave the trenches and save their lives.

And when they began to flee, more dense shells rained down.

The mortars of the Ming army began to roar.

Compared with the field artillery with a slow rate of fire, in the vast majority of the time, the Ming army liked to use mortars to smash the enemy's formation through a burst of intensive artillery bombardment, so as to break the enemy's resistance. On the battlefield, the Ming army repeated such victories again and again. In the past many years, this has even become a killer weapon for the Ming army to defeat the enemy. After 20 years of improvement, the firing range of the mortar has increased from the original 500 fathoms to the current 1,000 fathoms (meters), the firing range has doubled, and the rate of fire has not decreased, otherwise it has maintained a rate of fire far more than ten times that of the field artillery. For the fleeing Qing army. Mortar shells that rained down were undoubtedly devastating. It brings more disaster than the powder keg of explosion in the trenches, when the mortar shells explode, in the violent explosion of cast iron fragments flying in the air, they will penetrate every body that tries to stop them, tearing those thin flesh into pieces, and the dense shells produce like fragments when exploding, and even collide excitedly in the air, those fragile flesh are torn and twisted in the violent collision......

Offensive!

When the Qing army abandoned their trenches and struggled in the rain of bullets, the Ming army began to attack, and they attacked very quickly, not simply charging in a queue, but like a red wave, crashing everything on the earthy yellow earth.

It seems that nothing in heaven and earth can stop this red wave. Even the Qing troops in the Kurdai fortress, operating those rifled guns with a long range to bombard them, were only throwing a stone in the wave, and they could not stop the storm at all.

In fact, no one can stop their attack anymore. Those Qianjun, who had been pinned on high hopes, had completely lost the courage to resist under the artillery fire of the Ming army.

"Kill ......"

Like a tiger out of the cage, when the red wave caught up with the Qing army, it immediately burst out with an earth-shattering roar. In the midst of this tearing roar, the hand-to-hand combat between the bayonets broke out.

The Qing army, which was eager to flee for their lives, was not the opponent of the Ming army at all, and even many people had no idea of resisting at all, but just left their backs to the other party, and only a few Qing soldiers shouted and held bayonets to meet the charging Ming army. After all, not everyone chooses to back down, and there are still some who try to prove something with their bravery. Although this proof is futile and meaningless.

The bayonets slammed into the air, neither of them flinching, the bayonets bursting into a dazzling light in the sunlight, and in the midst of shouts of killing, from time to time mixed with the muffled sound of the bayonet sinking into the chest, the muffled sound of piercing the bones, and the muffled grunt of despair.

The battle was completely one-sided, even if there were a few Qing troops who had not experienced the rush of the year, fighting to the death, it was just like throwing stones into a frenzy, and they didn't even set off a wave.

Equivalent to the Qing army, the Ming army's attack was extremely resolute, there was no neat queue in the past, no dense gunfire far apart, only a resolute bayonet charge.

Just like the spearmen of the loyal and righteous army back then, these Ming soldiers wearing thin military uniforms, roaring, shouting, and killing the enemy, everyone became extremely violent, everyone became a part of this red wave, and no one in heaven and earth could stop their advance.

And in front of them, those Qing troops who were struggling in the dense rain of bullets and managed to survive were simply unable to organize effective resistance, and their will had collapsed in the face of such a bayonet charge. Their only option is often surrender.

"I ...... vote"

Before he could raise his hand, the sharp bayonet sank into his neck, and the moment the bayonet was withdrawn, blood gushed out like a fountain. His body twitched as his life passed, and those eyes looked desperately at the sky.

The blue sky was already shrouded in gunsmoke at this time, and in his consciousness, all that came into his ears before he went was a deafening shout of killing, and people's desperate prayers......

Almost at the moment when the Ming army's shells fell, Suo Etu was startled by the sudden violent explosion, and his first reaction was not to attack the Ming army, but to hurriedly grab the minions around him and shout loudly.

"Let's go see what's going on? But the water went in the trenches! ”

The trenches are gone!

This is what Suo Etu is most worried about, compared to the attack of the Ming army, he is more afraid that those minions will accidentally ignite the gunpowder under their feet, and when the time comes, it will be really lively. When the time comes, if you don't wait for the Ming army to come, the big guy will be bombarded into the sky.

But it is the emperor's will to bury gunpowder in the trenches, and even if there are many problems as a slave, you must obey the order.

Compared to Suo Etu, Feyangu did not have such worries, after all, the gunpowder was buried three feet below the ground, and it was impossible for the water to ignite the gunpowder buried so deeply. So when the explosion came, he immediately rushed out of the room, went to the top of the fortress and observed the front, and then he was sure that the Ming army had begun to attack.

The Ming army attacked.

Soon, the news of the Ming army's attack reached Xuan Ye's ears.

"It can't be!"

When he heard that the powder keg underground had been detonated, Xuan Ye immediately shouted loudly.

"No way, those powder kegs are three feet away, how can they explode! There must be spies, there must be spies who have lit powder kegs, it must be those damned Han people......"

Almost instinctively, Xuan Ye believed that the powder keg was lit by the Han people in the army, even if so many years had passed, even if those Han people fled all the way to the Western Regions with the imperial court, but the trust in the Han people was still extremely limited.

Not only did Xuan Ye not believe in the Han people, but even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and few people believed in them.

Who would believe those who had betrayed even their own ancestors?

No one will believe it!

Even if it was their master, they were the same one who suspected it in the first place. In his opinion, the reason why those powder kegs were ignited must have been a good thing done by those Han people.

Otherwise, how could it be ignited?

"Your Majesty, the Ming army must have used siege artillery......"

Feiyangu's expression became a little embarrassed, why didn't he take into account that the Ming army would use siege artillery? Ordinary shells may not be able to ignite a powder keg buried three feet deep in the ground, but for siege artillery, that dirt is just a piece of tissue paper.

"Siege Artillery ......"

Xuan Ye's eyes widened, and then he thought of a kind of cannon unique to the Ming army, which was a cannon that could hit two hundred catties of shells ten miles away and then destroy the fortress.

The cannons used can raze the fortress to the ground, and it must also be able to detonate the powder keg buried in the ground. He really didn't think of that.

These Ming troops are completely out of the rules.

How can they fight wars like this without rules?

"This, this siege artillery, no, isn't it a siege gun?"

The emperor's words fell into a dead silence in the room, no one spoke, and no one knew how to answer the emperor's question.

Who said that siege artillery can only be used to storm cities, not to bombard trenches. Oh, in the hands of others, they can use it however they want. Do you want to say hello to us before you can use it?

Of course, no one dares to say such a thing, after all, it is their master who has made this mistake now, and it doesn't matter if the master does the wrong thing or says the wrong thing, if they do the wrong thing and say that, I am afraid that they will lose their heads when the time comes.

It was here that the guards came to report it.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army attacked on all fronts, and the defenders were afraid of the explosion of gunpowder in the trenches, so they all abandoned the trenches one after another, abandoned the trenches and fled......"

"These damn dog minions, don't they know, only the first two trenches have gunpowder buried? The rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Kingdom were destroyed by this group of boneless dog minions......"

Xuan Ye immediately burst into thunder and cursed loudly, in his opinion, the reason why the Great Qing Kingdom fell to the current point was not because the emperor was incompetent, but because the minions were as timid as mice.

That is, these people buried the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that those who were slaves were as timid as rats and fearful of the enemy as tigers. In any case, the Great Qing Kingdom will not fall to the current stage.

"When a father is a gutless rat, when a son is also a timid rat......"

The emperor was so angry that no one dared to say anything, and all the words could only be said after the emperor was angry.

Finally, after a moment of anger, Xuan Ye roared again.

"Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed! The family is not an official slave! ”

The emperor's will was quickly passed down, and seeing that the emperor's anger had subsided, Suo Etu hurriedly said.

"Master, now that the thieves are attacking fiercely, the master's safety is in danger, and I ask the master to leave this time quickly and go to the rear center to sit in the formation and command."

As soon as Suo Etu's words fell, Feyangu echoed.

"Master, what Suo Xiang said is very true, there are no eyes on this battlefield, if the emperor is damaged here, how can I be good in the Qing Dynasty at that time, and please leave Kurdai as soon as possible for the sake of the Qing Dynasty."

From the very beginning, Feiyangu did not approve of the emperor coming to the front, and now that the Ming army has come over, it is natural to let the master leave quickly, otherwise if the emperor encounters a risk here, his sin as a slave will be great. He even turned his head to Suo Etu again.

"Suo Xiang, this Ming army is on the offensive, and the last general is going to stop the Ming army here, the emperor's safety can be handed over to you, and please escort the emperor to leave this place as soon as possible."

This Feiyangu is quite acquainted!

Suo Etu muttered to himself in his heart, since the other party knew each other so well, he naturally had to cooperate and get out of the immediate risk. Without waiting for him to agree, Xuan Ye said in annoyance.

"I can't leave, this thief is coming, I order the soldiers to defend it, how can I leave myself?"

However, despite its seemingly resolute attitude, the minions still heard the hesitation in the emperor's tone. Obviously, the reason why the emperor said this is just because what he said before was too resolute, so now he needs a step. As long as there is that step, the emperor will definitely leave here.

"Master, now is not the time to be rash, now the Ming army is attacking Kurdai, it must have another backhand, and please ask the master to hurry to the rear to sit in the center of the formation and command the whole army, otherwise you will let the Ming thief take advantage of the loophole, and the slave will ask the master to focus on the overall situation!"

What is the big picture?

It's that the emperor must leave the dangerous place now.

In fact, as the emperor, Xuan Ye also knew that he should not be in danger now, and the righteous and awe-inspiring words he said before were just words, since the minions now asked him to focus on the overall situation, he should focus on the overall situation. You can't just go your own way and put yourself in danger.

Finally left!

When the cannon rumbling behind him kept ringing, when he rode on the horse, Suo Etu finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was actively asking for the battle to come to the front line, originally wanted to make some military achievements, but in just half a day, he completely lost such thoughts in his heart, not to mention him, even Xuan Ye himself, was gloomy.

Once upon a time, Xuan Ye had imagined that with the complex terrain here, he would rely on the fortress to block the Ming army, but now it seems that the fortress obviously cannot stop the attack of the Ming army.

"Master, but you're worried about Kurdai?"

Seeing that the master looked worried, Suo Etu immediately said.

"Master, in fact, there is nothing to worry about on Kurdai's side."

Looking at Suo Etu puzzled, Xuan Ye asked.

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Master, you think, the Ming army now seems to have the upper hand for the time being with the majesty of the siege artillery, but this place is full of mountains, even if they temporarily capture the front, as long as Feiyangu withdraws the army to the mountains behind, the Ming army will have to fight one hill, one hill, and, Your Majesty, you see......"

Pointing to the mountains on both sides of the road, Suo Etu said.

"The slave is not a person who is good at using soldiers, but the slave remembers that when we attacked the Bukhara Khanate, the Bukharans relied on the mountains to block us, Your Majesty, you say, if we learn the methods of the Bukhara Khanate, how can the Ming army take advantage?"
