Dolgon led Zhubeile and a dozen Mongol nobles to stand in front of the formation, and a dozen ornate gold-woven dragons stood behind them, indicating to the officers and men of the whole army where the Chinese army was. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In front of the info Chinese army, there are a thousand sturdy wooden bridges. More than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers stood next to the wooden bridge, ready to raise the wooden bridge and charge at any time.

However, the brutal Qing army, the first wave of attacks was not carried out by wooden bridges.

The first wave of attacks was the Ming people plundered by the Qing army.

Li Zhi looked at the Qing army with a telescope and saw that behind those wooden bridges, the Qing army used whips and swords to drive tens of thousands of looted people to the front. The ragged Ming people were holding shovels one by one -- the Qing army wanted to use these unarmed people to fill the trenches.

One by one, the people were dressed in shabby cotton clothes, and some did not even have cotton clothes, shivering in the cold wind. The common people, men and women, young and old, did not dare to resist under the swords of the Qing soldiers. But when they saw the cautious appearance of the Qing army, they also knew that the Ming army in front of them was not good, and the Qing army drove them to fill the trench this time.

To go forward is to die, and to go back is also to die. Many people felt that a great calamity was coming, and they grabbed the tools and howled and cried in front of the battle.

But the Qing army showed no mercy, and took the whip to whip the weeping people.

After a while, tens of thousands of people stood in front of the battle. The horn of the Qing army sounded, and the soldiers drove 30,000 or 40,000 Ming people to rush towards the first trench to fill the trench with the tools in their hands.

Five hundred, four hundred, three hundred, two hundred meters from the riflemen, the people rushed to the first trench like a tidal wave. They looked at the silent fortifications with trepidation, and began to dig at the edge of the trench. They had to dig and fill in the steep trench into a gently angled earthen trench that the Qing soldiers could run through.

Seeing the people rushing up, Zheng Kaicheng looked at Li Zhi with a pale face and asked, "Commander, what should I do?" ”

The camp built by Li Zhi is hollow-shaped, with four sides as wide as each side, and each side is 750 meters. Li Zhi's tiger division suffered some casualties in the battle of Gyeonggi, and now there are more than 400 wounded and killed. Li Zhi left 2,000 soldiers to guard Fanjiazhuang, and he led 9,600 men to fight in the fortress of Maligou.

On each of the four sides of the fortress, 2,400 soldiers were arranged in four rows of round-fire formations. One hundred and forty cannons, all of which were placed on the front.

The infantry on the front of the fortress were 2,000 riflemen from the Selector Regiment and 400 riflemen from the Broken Regiment. Li Xing, the head of the Xuanfeng Regiment, stayed in Fanjiazhuang, and Zheng Kaicheng, as the head of the Broken Capture Regiment, was appointed as the commander of the frontal battle, standing on the front to command the battle.

Hearing Zheng Kaicheng's hesitation, Li Zhi shouted: "Shoot!" ”

Zheng Kaicheng's tongue was knotted: "Teacher... Commander, those are the people! ”

Li Zhi roared angrily: "I said shoot!" ”

Zheng Kaicheng lowered his head, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fire!" ”

The horn sounded, and the soldiers of the first platoon aimed at the people who were filling the trench and opened fire.

Six hundred bullets were fired at the people who were 200 meters away, and hundreds of trembling civilians were brought down at once. The people who filled in the earth were like lightning strikes, and they looked at their fallen companions in amazement, and all stopped moving.

Listening to the confrontation between the Tartars and the official army, it really didn't end well...

The second wave of bullets soon came again, and hundreds of people fell to the ground with blood on their bodies.

Tens of thousands of people woke up from a dream, and no longer dared to work in front of the trench, so they fled behind the battle with a scream. More than 30,000 Ming people lost order and rushed back to the Qing army camp like the tide when the reservoir was flooded.

The soldiers of the Qing army slashed and killed the fleeing civilians with swords, but to no avail. No matter how fierce the Qing army was, it could only kill a few civilians. But the officers and soldiers in the fortress were hundreds of lives when they shot. Which side is more dangerous, at a glance.

The Qing army's military formation was very solemn, and the 30,000 plundered civilians did not dare to rush into the military formation, and broke down from both sides of the military formation, until they fled to two miles away, and were rushed up and cut down by 2,000 horse armor soldiers on horseback for a while before they dared to flee again.

Seeing the rout of the newly captured slaves, Dorgon bit his lip with his teeth and remained silent.

Although he had known for a long time that these slaves would be defeated by the Ming army, Li Zhi did not hesitate to open fire, which still surprised Dolgon. This Li Zhi is too fierce, and he is not soft on the people of the Ming Dynasty. If this person is not removed, I will suffer from it!

However, can you get rid of him yourself? He even blocked the way out of the customs.

Dorgon took a breath and waved his hand.

The horn of the Chinese army sounded, and a thousand wooden bridges were lifted, ready to charge. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qing army walked from behind the Chinese army to the front of the Chinese army, lined up behind the wooden bridge, and formed a huge attack formation.

The military flag is unfurled, the tassels are flying, and it looks like a flame from a distance.

Abatai looked at Dolgon's face and asked, "Have you ordered the general to start attacking Li Zhi?" ”

Dolgon looked at Li Zhi's fortress in front of him, and he didn't know why he hesitated, and he had a kind of retreat. The little fortress seemed to Dorgon like a hill, impregnable. After gritting his teeth and thinking for a long time, Dolgon shook his head and said, "Don't rush first, let the ten wooden bridges go up and try it first!" ”

Abbatey didn't expect Dolgon to hesitate suddenly, and looked at Haug in surprise.

Let ten wooden bridges go up, it will definitely not be able to rush up, and it will sacrifice the lives of some warriors. But with these more than 200 soldiers, you will know the reality of the Ming army, and know whether the whole army should attack. This is a very cautious approach, and although it will cause small casualties, it will prevent the army from falling into a trap without knowing it.

Abatai secretly sighed and admired - Dolgon was so young but so cautious - the emperor and Zhubeile looked up to Dolgon very much, especially after Yanguli lost most of the Zhenghuang Banner in the battle of Fanjiazhuang, the emperor would ask Dolgon's opinion on major decisions, and respected Dolgon very much.

This kind of respect is indeed worthwhile, if it weren't for the emperor's more wise and martial arts, it would be possible for Zhubeile to serve Dolgon as the master.

The banner was unfurled, and the order of the Chinese army was conveyed, and tens of thousands of auxiliaries and followers were asked to put down the wooden bridge again and wait for the order.

Ten selected wooden bridges are out of the queue and go to battle!

Ten wooden bridges walked out of the queue with the sound of the horn and marched towards the Ming army fortress in the middle of the Mali ditch.

The wooden bridges were carried by the auxiliaries and followers of the Qing army. For such an unskilled task as building bridges and filling trenches, Dorgon handed over to the auxiliaries and followers. Because Dolgon was worried that Li Zhizang had a killing move, in case the soldiers and horses building the bridge were mass-killed, it would not be so distressing to kill some auxiliaries and followers.
