Chapter 420: Ambush Mandahai

The two camps on the left and right of the Wei Wu army were to prevent the Qing army from going south around the city, so they were separated on both sides of the official road.

However, although there were preparations, the advantage of the Qing army's strength was there, so the situation was still critical.

At this time, the artillery of both sides on the battlefield fired at each other, and one shell after another smashed in, and the camp was knocked out of the gap from time to time.

Soldiers immediately dragged the wounded soldiers away, and then pushed knife carts to plug the gaps, or used sandbags to build up the breastwork.

Amid the roar of artillery and the rising smoke of gunpowder, thousands of Qing soldiers followed behind the shield cart and walked slowly towards the camp.

At this time, in the camp, several bronze cannons, after being loaded, were pushed to the wall by the Wei Wu soldiers and quickly erected.

With a "boom" sound, I saw the copper cannon retreat violently, and a projectile directly hit a shield car.

The front of the Qing army's shield carts was covered with leather or thin iron sheets, and it was very tough enough to withstand long-range attacks from arrows and guns, but it was easily torn apart by artillery.

The shield cart instantly turned into sawdust, splashing in all directions, stabbing the Qing army behind.

Under the banner of Daxu, Duoduo picked up the clairvoyant mirror and couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that the team moving forward had been knocked out of the gap. He moved his vision to the wall of Wei Wujun's wall, and saw several small cannons, one by one, retreating, raising clouds of white gunsmoke.

These cannons, with a large wheel on each side, were different from the previous ones, and made Duoduo feel a little new.

Several bronze cannons bombarded one after another, but unfortunately the number was too small, only four, and they could not destroy the shield cars of the Qing army one by one.

The orderliness of the Qing army made Huang San feel a burst of pressure, he squinted and raised his hand, and suddenly shouted: "Fire fire!" Thunder thrower! ”

Outside the camp, there are many moats, horse piles, and thistles.

The Qing army was very well prepared, and the Wei Wu army was not sloppy, in the face of the Qing army's artillery bombardment, infantry attack, cavalry rush strategy, Wei Wu army also had a long artillery cannon, and then close to the use of guns, and finally throw thunder defense means.

There are only so many means of offense and defense, and the two armies are under their own noses, and they basically can't play any tricks. It depends on who has more horses, elite soldiers, and can hold out to the end.

"Ignite, Lift!" In the barracks, the generals of Wei Wu roared angrily, and the gunners standing in the first row immediately lit the firerope, stepped forward, lifted the firecracker, and stretched the mouth of the firebolt out of the fence.

At this time, only a sharp whistle was heard, and the first row of gunners suddenly pulled the trigger in unison, and the burning fire rope fell, and the entire section of the walled wall suddenly "banged" up a cloud of white smoke, and the gunpowder smoke instantly filled the entire front.

On the advancing shield cart, it was suddenly splashed with sparks, and the Qing sergeant hurriedly bowed down and lowered his body.

At this time, a cannonball shattered a shield cart, and the soldiers behind were immediately exposed, and they were knocked down one after another by the guns.

At this moment, the Qing army, which was slowly moving forward, finally let out a roar and began to push the shield cart to run wildly, and the wheelbarrow cart pushing the dirt behind it also began to rush forward, dumping the soil into the camp trench, but because it was hit by the gun, it was loaded into the trench with the people and the cart.

Duoduo saw this scene from a distance, but he was not heartbroken, a war would kill people, let alone a tough battle, he had already been mentally prepared.

He can still afford to die at this point, and he is not full of people anyway. Although the casualties are not small now, the camp is not as good as the city wall, as long as the obstacles outside the camp are removed, the thin wall will not play a role at all.

At that time, the battle will become a field battle, and the field wave battle, who is the Qing Iron Cavalry afraid of?

Duoduo stood on the hillside, looking at the Wei Wu military camp, and couldn't help but smile on his face, saying left and right: "In less than three days, this king will definitely break the enemy's block and enter Nanyang!" ”

In the south of Yuncheng, in Xiping County, Runing Prefecture, more than 30,000 people of Gao Yihuan have woven a pocket in the south of Yuncheng.

It's just that because of the lack of troops, the west and south sides of the pocket are already in place, but the east side is still almost a force.

On this day, at the head of Xiping County, Gao Yihuan frequently looked eastward, just like a man whose eldest daughter-in-law stood at the entrance of the village, waiting for him to go out.

Gao Yihuan has already received the news sent by Jin Shenghuan that Duoduo did not attack Xiangcheng, and has the intention of directly entering Nanyang.

If Duoduo attacked Xiangcheng, then Gao Yihuan would have plenty of time to break through Mandahai, but now his time was tight.

If he can't quickly deal with Mandahai and threaten Duoduo's flank, forcing Duoduo to abandon his entry into Nanyang, then Duoduo will most likely attack Nanyang first.

In this case, Gao Yihuan would have no choice but to give up the entire southern Henan and flee for his life.

Now Gao Yihuan is still waiting for Liu Heizi's news to come, if in another day or two, Liu Heizi's men and horses will not drive to Shangcai, southeast of Xiping County, then Gao Yihuan will only have to consider, abandon Runing and other places, and withdraw to Nanyang to hold on.

At this time, seeing that the sky was at dusk and the day was about to end, Gao Yihuan's heart sank.

For a while, Gao Yihuan wanted to kill Liu Heizi.

"Dashuai!" At this moment, Zhao Daxian suddenly shouted and hurriedly rushed to the city.

Gao Yihuan turned around and saw that Zhao Daxian was happy, and before he could climb to the top of the city, he asked urgently: "Daxian, but there is good news!" ”

"It's moving! Dashuai, Liu Heizi's turtle grandson, has finally sent troops! Zhao Daxian rushed to the head of the city, and without taking a breath, he said loudly: "Yicheng sent back the news, Liu Heizi took 20,000 people to Luyi and Xiangcheng, and they made a detour to the south to march, and they will probably arrive in Shangcai tomorrow!" ”

Gao Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief, just now, Liu Heizi almost lost his brother.

Now that Liu Heizi is here, the friendship between them can still last for some time.

Gao Yihuan listened to Zhao Daxian's words, immediately clenched his fists with both hands, and then raised his arms and said: "In this battle, my Wei Wujun will win!" ”

After speaking, he looked at the emotional Zhao Daxian, "Daxian, the summons that Wu Shizhao can be withdrawn." Then order all the troops to go to their positions at once. ”

In Xicheng County, more than 15,000 soldiers quickly went out of the city to assemble, and Gao Yihuan personally instructed the generals that this battle was related to the life and death of Wei Wujun, and asked the soldiers to fight to the death with him.

Suiping, south of Xiping County, suddenly boiled, the soldiers hurriedly packed up, picked up weapons, cavalry flew on horses, and the army quickly left the city and went north.

The next day and night, the south gate of Yuncheng was suddenly pushed open by the soldiers, Wu Shizhao took the lead, rushed out of the city, and more than 3,000 remnants of the soldiers behind him, waving the flag, galloped south.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, thirty miles south of Xiping County, in the wilderness, thousands of defeated troops mixed in one place, and fled south in a hurry.

During the escape, many Wei Wu soldiers and soldiers, most of them lost their weapons, and some even threw their armor on the side of the road in order to facilitate their escape, and the soldiers ran wildly with frightened faces one by one.

"Oh no, the Tartars are catching up!" Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the crowd.

Wu Shizhao was riding on a horse, heard the rumbling of hooves behind him, looked back, and saw that the Tartar cavalry had already chased and killed, and suddenly his face sank, and he shouted in a low voice: "Run~"
