Fifteen thousand foot armor approached Zheng Kaicheng's prisoner breaker. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

These Tartar infantry soldiers were not as elite as the horse armor soldiers, as could be seen from their horses alone. Compared to the tall war horses in the vests, the war horses in these infantry armors are at least half a head shorter. Galloping across the wasteland, these armors are not as imposing and breathtaking as the fifteen-thousand-horse armors.

However, these infantry armor were very arrogant, and they were forced to the vicinity of 400 meters of the Breaker Division.

The 10,000 soldiers of the Breaker Division lined up in a circular formation to meet the enemy. Zheng Kaicheng hid the cannon behind the soldiers' queue and asked the soldiers to quietly load the cannon.

The infantry soldiers around the Breaker Division were obviously not as vigilant as the horse armor soldiers. If the cavalry soldiers came to harass them, the cavalrymen on the horses would stand on their horses from time to time to observe the cannons of the Breakers, and if they found that the cannons had been removed from the gun carriages, or even that the cannons were out of sight, they would whistle and flee into the distance.

And these infantry soldiers reacted much slower, as long as they didn't see the muzzle of the cannon aimed at them, they didn't pay attention to the position of Zheng Kaicheng's cannon. It may be that individual infantry soldiers have become vigilant, but the overall stress ability of infantry soldiers is relatively weak, and the vigilance of individual soldiers has not affected the entire queue of more than 10,000 people.

Zheng Kaicheng's army suddenly sounded a long horn, and the soldiers in the front row of the cannon retreated at the same time, revealing the cannon loaded with shells.

With a loud bang, fifty cannons aimed at the dense formation of Tartar infantry and opened fire.

Fifty shells were like fifty bolts of lightning, and they pierced into the ranks of infantry soldiers four hundred meters away. Bombing at such a close distance, the power of solid bullets is very terrifying. Wherever the shells went, they were all smashed and smashed by horses and infantry soldiers, and the shells had to penetrate the fourth or fifth layer of soldiers before they stopped.

The infantry soldiers woke up from a dream and knew that the artillery of the Ming army was already aimed at them. The infantry soldiers panicked and fled.

However, Zheng Kaicheng's cannon can complete a reload shot in twenty seconds at the limit rate of fire. It was not so easy for the infantry soldiers to escape beyond the three-mile direct range of the cannons.

Fifty cannons were like fifty butchers, constantly bombarding the infantry soldiers who were huddled together and fleeing.

By the time the infantry soldiers fled three miles away, Zheng Kaicheng's cannon had already fired four rounds, and the barrels were hot. If it weren't for the fact that the barrel of the cannon was too hot in the rapid-fire state, Zheng Kaicheng would have been able to cripple all these infantry soldiers. However, even after only four rounds, the infantry soldiers died in the hundreds, which can be regarded as heavy damage.

The artillery stopped bombardment, and hundreds of scout cavalry rushed out and shot the infantry men who had lost their horses with their handcuffs - some of the horses were hit by the shells, but they were not injured. These infantry soldiers, who had lost their horses, could not run fast, and were the best targets for scout cavalry.

The battlefield was filled with the sound of gunshots and the screams of infantry soldiers.

In the end, Zheng Kaicheng cleaned up the battlefield and found that he had killed seven hundred and thirty-one Tartar infantry armor.

A few such kills, these fifteen thousand infantry armor soldiers will completely collapse. Obviously, the infantry soldiers with poor tactical literacy could not entangle the Broken Division, so that Li Zhi's grain and grass could not be transported to the front line.

On the second day of the ninth month, Li Zhi confronted the Dolgon army mobilized by the whole tribe in the south of Alchuka.

More than 100,000 Tartars were like an ocean covering the heavens and the earth, surrounding the tiger army that was stubbornly guarding the camp. From a distance, it looks like a small reddish camp in a black ocean.

Zhong Feng stood beside Li Zhi, looked at the Manchu army in the distance with a telescope, and said, "This Dolgon is really too clever to calculate. When he saw Zheng Kaicheng's grain convoy heading south, he attacked our 34,000 men with all his troops. ”

Li Laosi said: "I'm afraid there are 11 or 20,000 people in the Tartars. We had only 30,000 riflemen out of 34,000 men, and Zu Dashou's 4,000 cavalry were not equipped with rifles, so we had no advantage in combat power. I think it's better to wait for the 10,000 men of the Breaker to come back, and then we'll attack Dorgon inside and out. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Li Laosi is reasonable, we will wait for Zheng Kaicheng's soldiers and horses to come back, and then fight the Tartars." ”

When Li Zhi's army found out that the Manchus were attacking, they immediately dug trenches on the spot and set up camps. By the time the Tatar army surrounded the Huben army, 34,000 men had dug a trench nearby, and built an earthen wall behind the trench. The front of the earthen wall is covered with thistles. The cannons were hidden behind makeshift earthen batteries, with only one muzzle exposed.

This defense is simple, but effective. If the 110,000 Tartar Qing strong men don't rush towards this defense system, I'm afraid that they won't be able to touch the side of the Tiger Ben Army even if they run out of blood.

Therefore, Li Zhi could wait for work at ease and wait in this temporary camp for Zheng Kaicheng's 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet. From August 30 to the second day of September, Li Zhi actually stayed in this simple camp for three days.

Li Zhi was talking to several division commanders, but saw a commotion outside the camp. A few pro-soldiers held something in their hands and walked towards Li Zhi.

"Grandpa Guo, the slave chief Dolgon sent someone to deliver these things."

Li Zhi took the thing from the soldier's hand, and when he opened it, he found that it was a bright set of women's clothes.

There was also a letter on the clothes, which was sent by Dolgon to write to Li Zhi. The letter was written in Chinese: "The prince of the country has traveled thousands of miles and come from afar, and he is stationed in the wilderness but does not dare to fight with my Qing soldiers, but he is really a woman." Emperor Dolgon of the Qing Dynasty gave the woman a piece of clothing to the prince. ”

When they read Dorgon's letter, they were speechless.

Zu Dashou half-knelt in front of Li Zhi and said, "Grandpa Guo, this is Dolgon's method of agitation, Grandpa Guo must not be fooled." ”

Li Zhi lifted the colorful woman's clothes and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's too bright and a little cheesy, otherwise I will definitely bring it back for my wife to wear." ”

Zhong Feng took the letter from Li Zhi's hand, looked at it, and laughed.

Li Laosi looked coldly at the Manchu army outside the camp, and said: "This Dolgon is really full of tricks, I found that he doesn't play some tricks, as if he is uncomfortable." ”

Everyone scolded Dolgon for a while, and then drank tea and waited in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Two hours later, when it was getting dark, another messenger came in with a letter from Dorgon.

Everyone was curious about what tricks Dolgon was going to play, so they gathered around Li Zhi to read the letter.

"Grandpa Guo is above, Dolgon knows that he is invincible to Grandpa Guo's heavenly soldiers, and is willing to lead hundreds of thousands of people under his command to surrender. As long as Grandpa Guo allows hundreds of thousands of people of his clan to farm, fish and hunt for a hundred miles around Alchuka, we will be willing to serve Grandpa Guo as the master, and I, Dolgon, will abdicate and give up the title of emperor, and pay tribute to Grandpa Guo every year in the future. ”

Zhong Feng looked at the letter and said with a smile: "Dolgon Jianglang is exhausted, he can't use tricks, and he has begun to ponder the conditions for surrender." ”
