The Qing army, which had just occupied Xiayang Fort, was cheering, but more than 20 mortar cannons of the Wei army opened fire in unison.

The flowering bombs fell on the position, and more than 5,000 Qing troops suddenly turned on their backs, and the air wave generated by the explosion swept away a large number of Qing soldiers.

Sun Maosheng reacted quickly and rolled into the Wei army's anti-artillery pit, a shell exploded where he was standing, tearing the bodies of several Qing soldiers into pieces, cutting off their limbs, and being lifted into the sky, and then falling like raindrops, and the minced meat crackled on him, making him tremble with fright.

After the explosion, the position was in shambles, dust and smoke obscured the view, and there were rolling and wailing soldiers everywhere.

This is the flowering bullet of the Wei army, although the Qing army has known about this thing for a long time, but it has never been imitated.

The flowering shell is not like the bronze cannon and the self-generated firearm, the latter two have been captured by the Qing army, and the technical problems are not big, but the flowering shell is a little different, and its most critical fuse part is not so easy to get out.

The Qing court consulted the materials of the Ming Dynasty and tried to make improvements on the basis of the Ming Dynasty's flowering bombs, but the things made were not only not powerful enough, but also unsafe.

The fuse of the Wei army's flowering bomb is used to wrap the lead around the wooden stopper, how far to shoot with how long the lead, how many times the wooden plug rotates, all have regulations and data support, it is a large number of test firing, only to get the data, the Qing army wants to get out, can not be lazy, must carry out a large number of test firing, in order to get their own data.

Different cannons and different gunpowder formulas will cause different shell ranges and landing times, and flowering shells that explode too early or too late will not work, so they must experiment with various data according to their own artillery in order to create their own fuses.

In the distance, Azig looked at Xiayang Fort with a clairvoyant mirror with his eyes bulging, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

Although the smoke and dust obscured his vision, the violent explosion just now, and the faint wailing sound at this time, let him know that the defenders on the position had suffered considerable losses.

Just when he was shocked by the shelling of the Wei army and felt heartache for the casualties of the Qing army, suddenly an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound buzzed into his ears, and he couldn't help but be shocked, the camera hurriedly crossed the smoke-filled Xiayang Fort, looked at the second line of defense of the Wei army, and saw a team of cavalry galloping out, the first person riding a horse, holding a hard bow, and a black flag behind him, with a big "Hu" character written on it, leading nearly a thousand horse troops to rush to Xiayang Fort.

In an instant, Azig was shocked, his heart was almost dripping blood, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, Mingjin withdraw his troops!" ”

At this time, the position after the explosion was in a mess, full of wounded soldiers, Sun Maosheng did not continue to hide in the artillery pit, as a battlefield veteran, he had a premonition that after the shelling, the Wei army must have the next move, either another round, or a countercharge.

In either case, it was extremely dangerous to continue to hide, and he hurriedly climbed out of the gun pit, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

At this time, Sun Maosheng stood on the position, where the smoke and dust were billowing out, the vision was not clear, all around were the sound of screaming for help, and the smoke and dust were full of soldiers running in a panic, scurrying like headless flies, all of them were blown up.

"Help me! Go back and carry your flag! A voice sounded, Sun Maosheng turned his head to look, it was a blue-armored Eight Banners Armor Lazhangjing, he was sitting in a pool of blood, and there were seven or eight stumps and broken legs of blue-armored soldiers beside him.

Sun Maosheng didn't want to care, but the two words of raising the flag made him unable to take a step, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the blue-armored general: "Master, I'll help you!" ”

"Good minion!" The blue armor general grinned in pain, but he still praised him.

He is none other than Shang Kewei, but Shang Kexi's brother.

After Shang Kexi's death, the Manchu Qing Dynasty let Shang Zhixin attack the lord in order to win people's hearts, but Shang Zhixin was only twelve years old, and the Han army was mainly supported by uncles and uncles with blue flags.

At this time, the two of them just got up, did not move two steps, a roar of horses' hooves, Hu Guozhu led nearly a thousand cavalry, suddenly rushed into the smoke-filled position, the horse lance stabbed, the sabre flew up and down, and the Qing army that was stunned by the explosion was immediately killed, lost his armor, and farts and urine.

Shang Kewei turned his head to see this scene, his eyes almost burst out, and his face was full of horror, at this time, no matter what, he couldn't stop the Wei army and Ma Jun, he hurriedly roared, "Hurry up and help Ben to go!" ”

The Wei army and the horse army rushed into the position, slashing and killing the Qing army in a mess, the Wei army infantry army followed, the Qing army that was caught off guard suffered heavy losses, and they all turned around and fled, Hu Guozhu raised his sword, "Brothers, kill!" ”

"Kill!" The Wei army's horses and horses were mixed, and they killed back with overwhelming momentum, and the adrenaline of the soldiers was secreted sharply, and the war horses that connected to human nature also felt the strong killing intent of the master, and they vigorously crossed the ravine, and quickly rushed into the Qing army wearing hats, and broke out the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain.

Without Azig Mingjin to collect his troops, the Qing army that had just occupied Xiayang Fort fled in the wilderness, and the Wei army covered up and slaughtered the Qing army whose morale collapsed.

In the blink of an eye, the Qing army lost thousands of people, spent countless firearms, and fought for a morning before taking Xiayang Fort, which was recaptured by the Wei army.

On the hillside, the generals of the Qing army were silent and speechless for a while, Azig had red eyes, and sighed half-loudly: "It's a failure." Come here today, and let the cavalry meet the defeated army. ”

The Wei soldiers pursued all the way, crossed the earthen walls and trenches, and saw that the Qing cavalry responded, so they burned the shield carts of the Qing army and retreated to the defensive line.

Of the 7,000 Qing troops, after the first battle, only more than 2,000 people fled back, and the rest were either killed or captured by the Wei army.

When the casualties were reported, Azig, who was full of ambition, instantly felt cold in his heart, he only had a total of 50,000 horses, and he couldn't do it for half a day, and this battle couldn't be fought at all.

At this time, the morale of the Qing army was exhausted, and Azig had no way to break through the defensive line, so he pulled the reins of his horse and returned to the camp.

The Wei army regained Xiayang Fort, and the soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield and rearranging the battlefield, waiting for the Qing army to attack again.

That night, in the camp of the Qing army, Azig stood in the tent with his hands in his hands, and many generals were silent.

At this time, Azig suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "If you continue to attack, this king will not drive the Wei army back, and the men and horses will be exhausted." Azig walked back and forth a few steps, then stopped to glance at the generals, and said with a cheek agitation: "Zhun Tower, you immediately let people dig deep trenches overnight, build low walls, and build multiple defensive lines according to the fortifications of the Wei army. ”

Zhun Ta was slightly stunned, "The prince wants to change from offense to defense?" ”

Azig nodded, shook his head again, and did not answer, but continued to command: "Ye Chen, you let people go to the upper reaches of the water to collect a group of boats, and hide the shadows, this king is of great use!" ”
