In the early morning of the next day, outside Xiangcheng, the cavalry of the Qing army roared back and forth, controlling the battlefield, the Qing army camp was neighing, the drums and trumpets were endless, and a large number of Qing army foot soldiers, after breakfast, they hugged the equipment out of the camp.

On Xiangcheng, the Wei Wu soldiers were waiting for the battle, and the military academy shouted loudly, commanding the soldiers to enter the position, and let the people carry all kinds of stones and trees to the city.

Jin Shenghuan was dressed in armor, standing at the head of the city, staring at the Qing army camp in the distance, his brows furrowed.

Huang San looked at the Qing army pouring out of the camp outside the city, and suddenly exclaimed, "General, the situation is not right!" The Tartars don't seem to be here for us! ”

Jin Shenghuan had already discovered that the Qing soldiers did not come to the city, and he knew the intentions of the Qing army at a glance, "Not good!" Dordor had no intention of attacking the city, and ran to the fortification. ”

Huang San's face was shocked, "Does the Tartar want to break through the camp and directly enter Nanyang?" If so, the situation is dangerous. ”

Jin Shenghuan smashed his fist on the wall, and said hatefully, "Our troops are concentrated here, if we let the Tartars rush into Nanyang, it will be difficult for the states and counties to resist, not to mention, the men and horses fortified in the west will also be attacked by the Tartars and Duoduo in Guanzhong." At that time, the Tartars will open up the Wuguan Road, and the army of the Tartars will continue to pour into Nanyang, not only cutting off our back road, but also pouring into Huguang, and the situation will be unimaginable. ”

When the generals at the head of the city heard his words, their hearts became heavy, and they felt that the situation was not optimistic.

Huang San took a deep breath and hugged his fists, "General, let the last general go to guard the left camp!" ”

Dai Jinghong also clenched his fists and said resolutely, "Go to the right camp with a humble duty!" ”

Jin Shenghuan looked at the two of them and nodded heavily, "Okay, the left and right battalions will be handed over to you." Ben will immediately send a letter to the marshal, asking the marshal to solve Mandahai as soon as possible, and then flank Duoduo and force the Tartars to retreat! ”

Gao Yihuan left 30,000 horses for Jin Shenghuan, if Duoduo attacked Xiangcheng, these soldiers and horses would be enough to resist Duoduo for a while, but Duoduo saw that the city was difficult to fight, and wanted to go south around the city, and then attack the camp, and it would be a little difficult for Wei Wujun to resist.

Although Xiangcheng held the main road, as long as the Qing army trapped the defenders in the city, it could still go around the city to the south.

The Qing army had few soldiers and horses, and after a tough battle, the losses were bound to be heavy, so most of the Qing troops used deep trenches to lock the city, advance around the city, or besiege the city for reinforcements, and besiege the city for a long time.

If Duoduo wanted to trap the defenders and go south around the city, he had to break through the Wei Wu army's strongholds outside the city, as well as the men and horses who controlled the road.

When Huang San came to the left camp, a large number of Qing soldiers were already three miles away from the camp and set up a formation.

The Wei Wu army, which guarded against the Qing army from entering Nanyang, had a total of 30,000 people, including 10,000 troops stationed in Xiangcheng, 6,000 people in each of the left and right battalions, and the remaining 8,000 people, who were divided into various paths and cities.

The two battalions on the left and right, five or six miles away from the city, can not only support the city, but also control the official road.

After Huang San entered the camp, the soldiers in the camp found that the Qing army was coming towards them, and they had already begun to get busy.

"General, you see that the Tartars are setting up artillery, presumably they are going to bombard the camp first, destroy the wall, and then charge the camp with the infantry army!" A subordinate general, while following behind Huang San, explained urgently.

Huang San walked to the wall, took out a clairvoyant mirror, and looked outside the camp, and saw that on the wilderness, nearly 10,000 Qing troops were arrayed in the cold wind, and there were various instruments in the crowd, the most of which were shield carts, and bulldozers used to fill trenches, followed by trenches and bridges.

I have to say that the Qing army obviously has a lot of experience in attacking cities and pulling out villages.

After the infantry, a large banner stood on a hill, and the cavalry of the Tartars gathered under its banner densely spread all over the hillside, making people feel as heavy as a black cloud.

On a piece of flat land not far from the Qing army's Liechen, ten Hongyi cannons were lined up.

These cannons weigh two or three thousand catties, and a red-armored Han army is busy digging gun emplacements, pushing heavy artillery into the gun emplacements, or placing bricks behind the gun wheels to arrange artillery arrays.

Gao Yihuan purchased a total of more than 20 Portuguese monoculars, and Huang San also got one, and through the telescopes, he could see the formation and intentions of the Tartars clearly.

The Tartars' tactics were very simple, first bombarded with artillery to destroy the wall of the Wei Wu army, then used the infantry to wade through a passage, and finally the horse army poured directly into the camp through the open passage of the infantry army.

Although he understood the intentions of the Tartars, this was a conspiracy, and it didn't matter if the Qing army set it up for Wei Wujun to see.

The battle was fought with strength, and the Wei Wu army had to carry it hard, depending on whether it was the spear of the Qing army or the shield of the Wei Wu army.

At this time, Huang San collected the clairvoyant mirror, and when he heard the continuous trumpets and drums of the Qing army, his face sank, "Let the artillery prepare, fire immediately, suppress the artillery array of the Tartars, and let them arrange it calmly." ”

Behind the wall, six heavy cannons, after being loaded with gunpowder, were pushed forward by the soldiers' men and pushed the muzzles of the black hole out of the fence.

A red-haired and blue-eyed Francophone man, with tools to compare and calculate for a while, then gestured, commanded several gunners, and adjusted the angle of the gun.

These people are the Franc people recruited from Macao by Gao Yihuan and Gao Yicheng.

They wanted to enter Henan to preach, but they were thrown into the barracks and workshops by Gao Yihuan, and as for preaching, they didn't even think about it for the time being.

At this time, Huang San was looking at the Qing army, and an officer suddenly clenched his fists, "The general's artillery is ready!" ”

Suddenly, a horn sounded in the Qing army's formation, wandering outside the camp, suppressing the Qing army rangers, immediately retreated, rushed back to the formation, almost at the same time, the Qing army's artillery array suddenly exploded, a cannon suddenly retreated, a cloud of white smoke was raised, and the black iron bullet roared and smashed directly in front of the wall, splashing a large area of soil.

Huang San frowned, but he didn't expect to let the Tartar take the lead and shoot first.

His face sank, and he immediately waved his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Open the cannon, hit on time!" ”

At this time, the red flag of Wei Wujun waved, and several soldiers immediately lit the fuse, and suddenly there were several loud noises, and the artillery retreated backwards one after another, and the wall was instantly filled with smoke.

Six iron bullets swept through the low altitude, whistling and smashing directly into the Qing formation, and one running bullet just hit the cannon body of a cannon, and suddenly made a loud "dang" sound, the cannon body rotated, swept the two Qing soldiers, and immediately smashed their chests into a dent, flew out upside down, and the artillery was also overturned.

The artillery array of the Qing army was continuously shelled, and the shells smashed the ground and splashed the soil, which startled the Qing soldiers and exclaimed again and again.

During the artillery bombardment by the Wei Wu army, the Qing artillery opened fire again, and several shells flew into the camp or smashed in front of the wall.

While the two sides were shelling, the soldiers of both armies were holding spears, swords and shields, and the musketeers were waiting for each other.

Huang San stared at the artillery array of the Qing army, and suddenly not far away, there was a loud bang, and a section of the wall beside him, "bang", suddenly exploded, and a black iron bullet, wrapped in countless pieces of wood, hit a firecracker behind the wall.

The gun was immediately smashed upside down, his entire chest was dented, and the iron bullet tore open the soldier's body, and in an instant, his limbs and flesh flew around, and the surrounding soldiers were sprayed with blood mist.

The iron bullet passed through the soldier's body, and the residual power was undiminished, and he tore a military tent forward before he was wrapped in a white cloth and stopped.

After the first shot, the ground was in shambles, the wall was torn open, and several soldiers on the ground who had been stabbed by broken wood immediately began to wail.

Almost at the same time that the cannonball hit the wall, in the Qing army's formation, Shang Kexi turned his head and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Kill!" Break the barracks, enter Nanyang, and don't seal the knife for three days! ”

"Kill !!" Thousands of Qing soldiers roared in unison, and the sword and shield hands in the front row carried the shield to their chests, striking the shield with their swords, and began to step violently, rushing towards the camp.

Huang San glanced at the blood and stumps on the ground next to him, his left face twitched for a while, he turned his head and saw the Qing army moving in formation, and suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Fire hand, defense!" ”

In the camp, four columns of soldiers holding firearms, immediately holding guns in both hands, took three steps forward, and fought behind the wall.
