The shield carts built by the Qing army had two wheels and a thick wooden board in front of it, on which iron or cotton armor was nailed to protect against bows and arrows and firearms.

Because of the protection of the shield car, the Qing army did not need to rush to charge, and used running to reduce the number of times it was fired by the firecracker, but only needed to hide behind the shield car, advance to the wall, and then charge violently.

At this time, on the vast battlefield, nearly 10,000 Qing troops were slowly approaching the Wei army camp, bringing huge pressure to the Wei army guarding the village.

From the firecracker behind the fence, he found that the Qing soldiers and soldiers were hiding behind the shield car, and they couldn't find the target, and they suddenly felt that they had no ability, but there was no place for it, but the archers who were transferred from the new attached camp behind them could open their bows and shoot the Qing troops behind the shield car.

At this time, on the edge of the fence, Wang Deren watched with his sword, and the Qing army slowly finished the first line of guard trenches, and immediately raised his right hand high.

The first row of gunners, neatly raising their guns and making fine iron, lined up in a straight line, aimed at the Qing army's shield car outside the barracks.

Behind them, the archers stuck the arrows from their quivers into the ground beside them, so that they could shoot an arrow and then immediately remove one.

"Marshal, report to the front battalion, the enemy army is approaching the first deep trench!" The chess and card officer saw the flag in front of him and reported loudly.

Gao Yihuan had already seen that in the wilderness in front of the camp, the Qing army's shield cart had stopped in front of the trench, like a long wall, and the dense Qing soldiers behind it were gathering behind the wall like ants.

Such a scene is like an attack by Butan, and the scene is grand and spectacular.

Gao Yihuan felt a little agitated in his heart, smashed his fist on the wooden fence, and shouted angrily, "Tell Wang Deren, the enemy army crosses the trench, shoot immediately!" ”

On the watchtower, the chess and card officials immediately waved the order flag, and the drums in the army sounded, giving orders together.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Duoduo to make equipment, Gao Yihuan dug two more trenches outside the camp, and built two three-foot-high sheep and horse walls with the dug soil, which was equivalent to building two thresholds in front of the camp to block the Qing army's equipment from approaching the wall.

There were three trenches outside the camp, the outermost of which was fifty steps away from the wall, which was exactly the range where the firecracker could break through the armor, so once the Qing army crossed the trench, the firearm could shoot the enemy.

Tang Tong was wearing a double-layer battle armor, but he was still bent over, hiding behind a shield car, he saw that the shield car was blocked by a trench, first from the gap in the shield car, glanced at the Wei army camp, and then suddenly ordered, "Break through the Wei camp and reward 100 gold, capture Gao Yihuan alive, and reward silver!" Trench bridge, give it to me! ”

At the sound of an order, the Qing army carrying the trench bridge behind the shield car suddenly roared, "Rush~"

In the first echelon, nearly a thousand soldiers suddenly howled, carrying the trench bridge and planks, and rushed out of the gap between the shield carts.

Twelve Qing soldiers hugged a moat bridge, the first two Qing soldiers were holding a shield in one hand to protect their chests, carrying the moat bridge in the other, and the ten soldiers in the back, five on one side, were holding a knife in one hand and carrying the bridge in the other.

The Qing army let out an earth-shattering roar, and at this moment, Wang Deren's raised right hand suddenly waved downward, and a howl came out of his mouth, "Release!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

A sound suddenly sounded, and the wall of the wall was filled with gunsmoke in an instant, covering the entire front.

The shield that the Qing army protected on his chest was immediately beaten, and the shield car was also hit with a "pop" sound.

Although it failed to penetrate the shield car, it also made the Qing army behind a little nervous.

The soldiers who rushed out of the shield car to set up the trench bridge, against the projectiles shot by the Wei army, rushed to the edge of the trench, and suddenly the soldiers holding the shield in front of them fell one after another.

In the charge, the Qing army in front did not find the iron thistles scattered on the ground by the Wei army, and they were pierced one by one, and they immediately fell to the ground with a wail.

At this time, there was a "bang" bang on the wall, and the soldiers behind were unprotected, and they were instantly beaten backwards.

Duoduo rode on his horse and watched with a clairvoyant mirror, and saw that the Qing army approaching the trench suddenly stagnated, and the soldiers who had lost the protection of their shields were shot to death by fire guns one after another, their faces were cold, and they scolded angrily, "Gao barbarian, so despicable!" ”

Under the rotation of the Wei army's guns behind the wall, the Qing soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and died on the edge of the trench, but the soldiers who did not hit the back immediately picked up the shield and protected their bodies, and if they had to, they used the corpses of their comrades to roll to the ground to sweep away the thistles, and then together with other Qing troops, they built a trench bridge, crossed the trench, and pounced on the wooden planks for the shield carts to pass.

Gao Yihuan stood on the watchtower, and saw that the Qing soldiers and soldiers were quite disciplined, not blindly rushing, but having a clear division of labor, and couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Herald artillery team, shield car that specializes in trenches!" Gao Yihuan grabbed the handrail on the wooden fence with both hands, his palms were a little sweaty, and he suddenly shouted orders.

The Ming army did not have many artillery, and when firing the artillery, it was naturally necessary to distinguish the importance and urgency, and hit the target that posed the greatest threat to the wall.

Tang Tong saw that the built trench bridges began to appear on the trench, and immediately waved his knife and pointed angrily, "Rush through the trench, and the archers will immediately suppress the enemy camp." ”

The first trench was fifty paces away from the camp, and the fire gun was likely to be able to break through the armor, while the second trench was twenty paces away from the battalion, and it entered the killing range of the infantry bow.

Almost at the moment when Tang Tong gave the order, Li Jiyu, the general of the Wei army in the camp, pulled out his knife and pointed forward angrily, "Hit the arrow." ”

In the camp, more than 1,500 archers were lined up in three rows, and the soldiers picked up an arrow between their fingers and put on the bowstring, and the arrow pointed diagonally to the sky, but it did not pull away.

Bows and arrows are not as good as firearms, and it takes a lot of strength to send an arrow, and generally a soldier puts ten arrows in a row, and then shoots again, and then he is already bored.

At this time, as the trench bridge was erected, the shield carts of the Qing army began to pass through the trench bridge, escorting the Qing soldiers and soldiers, and entering the area between the first ditch and the second ditch.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang", and the sound of projectiles hitting the shield cart, the Qing army was terrified, and the soldiers bent their waists and followed behind the shield cart, cleaning up the thistles while walking slowly.

"Pull the full circle, let's go!" When the Qing soldiers rushed through the first trench, Li Jiyu immediately waved his sword and roared.

The Wei army archers, who stretched their bows, immediately pulled the bowstrings into a full circle, and then suddenly loosened.

I only heard a "buzzing" string, and 1,500 feather arrows rose into the air at once, and then fell at a rapid speed, like black locusts.

The shield car could only block the fire bolts fired from the front, but it could not stop the rain of arrows hanging overhead, and the Qing soldiers behind the shield car were immediately hit by arrows and fell to the ground wailing.

Almost at the same time, the artillery on the walled wall also opened fire one after another, and in the sound of "boom, boom, boom", the artillery pushed violently, and the shells whistled along with the white smoke rising from the wall.

The shield cart, which cannot be pierced by the firearm, is like paper paste in the face of the iron bullets fired by the artillery, even the less powerful Franc cannon.

The shield car of the Qing army that had just crossed the trench bridge was directly shattered by the cannonballs, and the shield plate turned into sawdust, splashing in all directions.

After the shield car was knocked out, the Qing army behind lost protection, and in the sound of "bang bang bang", the wounded soldiers of the Qing army who were stabbed by broken wood were immediately beaten and trembled, and fell backwards with their backs facing the sky.

At this time, there was a half-wheel-high sheep and horse wall in front of the shield car, and the shield car moving forward was also blocked, and the Qing soldiers could only hold the shield and use the knife to push the earthen wall away, and for a time the Qing army stopped in front of the second ditch.

Seeing that the Qing army's offensive was blocked, Duoduo frowned, and suddenly waved his hand: "The artillery cart quickly fires the cannon to suppress the thief soldiers!"

At this time, the stone thrower of the Qing army had been pulled 200 steps away and set up.

The Qing soldiers manipulated the artillery cart and shot a cannon stone to adjust the distance of the artillery truck.

A stone block of more than ten catties was thrown away by the pole, drew an arc, and directly hit a section of the wall, which immediately smashed the wooden fence out of a hole, and also killed two Wei army gunners.

When Duoduo saw the result, his heart was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but praise, "Good! The artillery carts quickly fired in unison to smash the wall of the thieves for this king! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen black objects suddenly rose up in the Wei army camp, and they also drew a parabola and went straight to the Qing army's artillery group.

Duoduo thought that Gao Yihuan's artillery was going to counterattack, but he didn't want these artillery stones to fly out of the Wei army camp, and a few of them suddenly exploded directly in the sky, like a dry thunder.

The Qing army didn't have time to be surprised, and saw more than ten artillery stones, all the way to explode into the Qing army's artillery group, the Qing soldiers who were operating the artillery, intuitively felt an earth-shaking force attacking, the huge explosion sound was like a thunder overhead, exploded beside him, and the artillery cart that had just been erected was lifted away together with the Qing soldiers.

When Dordor saw this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, his mouth opened into a circle, and his whole person was stunned in place.
