When Hong Chengchou heard Li Zhi's words, he turned around abruptly and looked at Li Zhi deadly. www.biquge.info But after looking at Li Zhi for a while, he was a little discouraged and said, "There are only 15,000 people in Xingguobo. I'm afraid that even if Xingguo Bo goes out, he may not be able to defeat the 40,000 Qing army. ”

Zhang Ruoqi was very nervous and said: "The 30,000 Tartars and the 15,000 Xingguobo are shooting at each other, how can Xingguobo's soldiers and horses withstand it?" What's more, there are still 10,000 horse troops over there, if 10,000 horses come up to attack Xingguobo's firearm array, I am afraid they will be crushed. ”

There are too many Tartar soldiers and horses, and they are the same fire soldiers as Li Zhi's soldiers and horses. Hong Chengchou could clearly see through the telescope that the Qing army was still wearing heavy armor and was very elite. Where could Li Zhi's fifteen thousand soldiers and horses defeat the firecrackers with similar equipment and two or three times the number of his own?

Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

Li Zhi didn't bother to say more to these two civil officials. With a flick of his cloak, Li Zhi stepped on his war horse, rode quickly in front of his tiger master, and shouted loudly: "Send troops and defeat the 40,000 Tartars on the eastern flank!" ”

The officers at all levels roared in victory, passing on Li Zhi's words to every soldier.

The soldiers of the Tiger Division knew that this was a crucial battle, and shouted in unison: "Tiger! ”

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

The roar of 15,000 people in unison resounded in the sky, shaking the Qing troops who rushed over several miles away.

Hong Chengchou heard the roar of the tiger master, and his face turned white again. This murderous army is too different from other Ming troops. Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi glanced at each other, and said secretly in their hearts: Could it be that Li Zhi's Tiger Master really has hope of blocking the 40,000 Qing army?

The tiger division put out a circular formation, loaded the rifle with bullets, loaded the cannon with shells, and slowly met the Qing army that was pressing over four miles away.

The commander of the 40,000 Qing army was the Manchu Qing and the prince of Shuoyu, Duoduo. Duoduo was the fifteenth son of Nurhachi, the younger brother of Dolgon, and one of the most brave generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Duoduo had just defeated the 50,000 Ming army with 30,000 firecrackers, and he was full of spirit, and he felt more and more that this firecracker army was a strong army. The combat power of these firecrackers is better than that of my Qing Dynasty's armor soldiers, and the emperor has trained such a soldier and horse independently, which is indeed wise.

Seeing Li Zhi's fifteen thousand people coming up, Duoduo snorted coldly and said with a smile: "The emperor has specially created this Han army flag firearm to deal with Li Zhi, and it will be right today." Let's see if it's Li Zhi's guns, or ours? ”

Beledudu glanced at Li Zhi's team fiercely and said with a smile: "Thirty thousand firecrackers are here, I don't believe that Li Zhi can escape." Li Zhi has been arrogant for so many years, and today Prince Yu led troops to eliminate this evil for me, and the emperor will have a heavy reward! ”

Duoduo laughed, waved his hand, and shouted: "Kong Youde, attack with firecrackers!" Defeat Li Zhi's soldiers and horses! ”

Kong Youde knelt on the ground and shouted: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

He got up, and rushed to the front of the firecrackers, shouting loudly to drive them forward. Thirty thousand firecrackers lined up in a neat queue and marched towards Li Zhi's soldiers and horses.

The two armies gradually approached, and at a distance of three miles, Li Zhi's heavy artillery opened fire on the Qing army.

Only a rumbling sound was heard in the ears as if a thunderclap was ringing in the ears, and the forty heavy cannons in front of the Tiger Division's Formation opened fire. Forty shells were like forty meteors, shooting straight at the 40,000 Qing troops.

As soon as the forty shells entered the Qing army, a rain of blood was struck. Regardless of the torso or hands and legs of the Qing soldiers in front, whether it is flesh and bones or bones, more than a dozen pounds of shells can be smashed in everything. Forty shells bounced forward in the Qing columns, drawing forty death lines. Flesh and blood sprayed out in an instant, causing chaos.

Kong Youde rode behind the musketeers, and saw a cannonball flying straight towards him, almost hitting his own 100 soldiers. The shell finally smashed into the queue of musketeers more than ten meters to Kong Youde's left. The soldiers of the Han army flag in that straight line were immediately stoned to death.

Kong Youde saw a soldier being hit in the jaw, and as a result, his entire head was smashed, and blood spurted out of his broken neck like a fountain, spurting the blood of the soldiers several meters around.

A firecracker smashed off his right hand, and blood spurted out of the broken artery. The firecracker clutched the wound on his right hand, but he still couldn't stop the bleeding. His face grew whiter and whiter, and he gradually fell to the ground unable to stand.

Kong Youde was stunned, he didn't expect Li Zhi's heavy artillery to hit so far and in so many quantities. Kong Youde secretly said that Li Zhi's cannon was far stronger than his own light artillery. He looked at the casualties in front of him, waved his hand angrily, and shouted: "Forward, speed up!" ”

The Qing army marched forward two hundred paces quickly, and Li Zhi's shells came again. This time, the thirty heavy guns placed on the side also fired, and seventy shells screamed towards the Qing army.

This time, Li Zhi's shells were specifically aimed at the small Hongyi artillery bombardment of the Qing army.

Kong Youde saw the cannonball whizzing towards him, and bent his body in panic. Fortunately, the shell did not hit him, but into the team of artillery trucks dozens of meters away.

At least six Hongyi cannons were hit by Li Zhi's shells. The cannonball slammed into the bronze barrel with a loud metallic crashing sound. The cannon that was shot was smashed backwards by the kinetic energy of the shell, crushing several of the artillerymen behind.

Seventy shells not only smashed several cannons, but also killed many artillerymen.

Kong Youde saw an artillery soldier with his left leg broken by a shell, and fell to the ground screaming. His left leg bounced on the ground and landed on his right hand. This Shi Chang's eyes were blood-red, and he grabbed his severed left leg and connected it to the root of the bloody left leg, as if he wanted to connect the broken leg.

Duoduo and Du Du, who were standing in the distance, looked at the power of Li Zhi's cannon, and their faces were solemn. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi's cannon was so powerful, and it could inflict heavy damage on the Qing army three miles away. Fortunately, the Han soldiers of the Han Army Banner have been training for several years, and they are quite disciplined. Otherwise, if Li Zhi's cannon bombarded a few times like this, maybe there would be chaos.

Du Du said loudly to Duoduo: "Prince Yu, when our soldiers and horses rush up and shoot guns, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses will not be able to withstand it!" ”

Duoduo nodded and said, "30,000 firecrackers shoot Li Zhi and more than 10,000 firecrackers, no matter how you look at it, you won't lose!" ”

The 40,000 Qing troops rushed forward under artillery fire, were bombarded with five rounds of shells, and finally rushed to two hundred paces away from Li Zhi's soldiers and horses. The Qing army quickened their pace, ready to rush to seventy paces to shoot at Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, but heard a rumbling sound.

Forty heavy cannons fired shotguns at the Tartars that rushed closer.
