Closer, closer!

Why hasn't it been fired yet, why hasn't anyone fired yet?

Is his expression not fierce enough, or is his momentum not enough? Or is the power of the charge not enough?

The Manchu horsemen crouched on their horses, thinking of various answers, and as the distance got closer, they finally panicked. They are all veterans, as long as they really rush forward like this, they will definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest with people and horses. Of course, the corpse of the horse running at a high speed may collide with the Ming army, and it will also cause damage to the Ming army.

So is it to rush or not to rush?

The distance is no longer for the Manchu cavalry to think about anymore, they saw the musketeers of the Ming army's formation, still motionless in the battle, like a sculpture, finally, rushed in front of the Manchu cavalry to take the reins, the war horse turned an arc, did not dare to crash into the death, turned back to the city gate.

"Damn, these cowards, as long as they get closer, Lao Tzu will give the order to shoot!" When the generals of the Ming army in the first row saw it, they couldn't help but curse. After scolding, he also spat on the ground, with a look of contempt on his face.

Today's Manchu army, even the Manchurians, no longer has the courage of the past!

The general's scolding was very loud, and the sound of the puff was also very loud, and the Ming flintlock pikemen on the side looked at the back of the Manchu cavalry, and when they saw the panic on their faces just now, they also followed the "puff" and spit.

So, Azig was at the head of Zhenjiang Fort, watching the Ming army's musket phalanx not fire, but one by one showed disdain and "puffed" saliva on his side. Suddenly, the face suddenly turned the color of pork liver. When was the Qing army so humiliated by the Ming army? In the past, it was the Qing army that humiliated the Ming army so much!

The faces of the Ming soldiers were full of disdain, and the grain trucks did not care about the Qing troops in the city at all, and passed around the city in a hurry, which also expressed strong contempt for the Manchu troops in the city from the other side. These contempts, like invisible thorns, pierced into Azig's heart again and again.

"Come, behead the minions who fled back first!" Dolgon's face turned red and roared loudly, "The Ma Bu Army will immediately attack the Ming army, we must not let the Ming dog rob the grain from our eyes like this!" ”

Under his strict orders, the Manchu army of Ma Bu once again rushed out of the city. When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he just smiled coldly, and nodded at Cao Bianjiao. So, Cao Bianjiao ordered that the Ming cavalry had about 1,000 horsemen, guarding the left and right of the flintlock pistol array, and protruding forward. In their hands, there are crossbows and three-eyed guns, which are long-range troops in the cavalry.

Seeing the formation of the Ming army, even if they knew that there was a city wall of Zhenjiang Fort behind them, the Manchu soldiers were a little afraid, and for a while, no one dared to rush forward. However, because of the military army sent by Azig, they did not dare to retreat, so they froze outside the city gate.

The Ming army did not take the initiative to attack, but the grain trucks did not mean to stop, and continued to rush along the official road. One after another, they passed near the city gate of Zhenjiang Fort one after another, and slowly moved away.

Seeing this, Azig's face turned red as if he was about to drip blood. He immediately gave a loud order to use the military army to drive the horse infantry outside the city to attack the Ming army.

Either it was the threat of the military court, or the temptation of truckloads of food, or the only trace of dignity of the Manchu army, this Manchu army finally moved. In the infantry army, the shield is in front, slowly advancing, and the horse army is on the sides, and it also begins to drive the horse slowly to speed.

Seeing this situation, Cao Bianjiao, who was supervising the battle on the side, smiled coldly, gave a few orders in a low voice, and suddenly, five guns moved out of the queue, just at the front of the military formation, lined up. One stands, one aims, and waits quietly.

Emperor Chongzhen watched the power of the gun in the battle of Dongwu Baojing, and thought it was okay, so he also allocated some to the Liaodong side, which was specially used to supplement the lack of firepower when the artillery was inconvenient to carry. This time the artillery was not suitable for carrying food, but it was no problem to carry the gun with it, so it was used at this time.

The Manchu soldiers, especially the Manchu soldiers at the front, saw such a big musket and immediately panicked. Although they didn't know each other, such a big musket must be more powerful. They don't know if the shield in their hands can block it, they don't know where they go, and such a big musket will fire?

While the drums were beating in their hearts, suddenly, something even more surprising happened to them. I saw that the musketeer in the Ming army formation actually stood up with a gun, as if he was going to move forward?

This...... How is this possible? Didn't the musketeers of the Ming army wish they were as far away as possible? Do they have the audacity to charge with muskets? Don't forget, their arquebuses aren't even lit! Hey, what about the arquebus, the arquebus doesn't seem to be seen, only the five very large muskets have arquebuses, and they are lit.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the Manchu soldiers filled their hearts with doubts, and everyone became nervous.

Closer, closer.

Azig was at the head of the city, watching this scene, and as the distance got closer and closer, his heart also rose.

Suddenly, I saw that in front of the Ming army, the five huge muskets came out of the smoke. In his eyes, he saw the front military formation on his side, and suddenly there were a few mouths, and a bunch of people fell. It was only then that he heard the sound of "Woo Woo Woo".

Just looking at it like this, Azig secretly said that something was wrong, this kind of large musket was really powerful, and it actually brought down a piece of the front of the military formation, causing chaos in the military formation. But fortunately, there were many veterans in the military formation, all of whom were busy advancing and forming a whole team, trying to minimize the chaos just now.

But what they didn't expect was that those Ming musketeers actually took the initiative to meet them in a row with muskets. At this moment, they couldn't help but look dumbfounded, what is the situation? The Ming musketeers have never been so abnormal!

Azig at the head of the city was also surprised, and he hurriedly ordered the archers at the head of the city to immediately support the battle under the city when the Ming army entered the firing range.

However, he was disappointed.

When the Manchu soldiers saw the Ming army coming up with muskets, they showed a hint of relief one by one. All they want is to shorten the distance. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, the musketeers of the Ming army did not ignite the fire, nor did they see the fire rope, and the muzzle of the musket suddenly emitted gunsmoke.

The sound of "Woo Woo Woo" sounded continuously, and Azig at the head of the city saw that after the Ming Army musketeers finished fighting in one row, the row of musketeers behind him immediately overtook the front row, and immediately followed by "Woo Woo Woo", and then the musketeers in the next row came to the front again and began to "Woo Woo Woo" again. The musketeers of the Ming army, so crossed.

Suddenly, on the side of the Qing army, rows of soldiers were knocked down, and those shields, like paper paste, didn't matter at all. Many cavalry troops on both sides were also affected, and those war horses followed one by one to the ground, and people shouted and neighed, screaming again and again.

This is not over, the cavalry on both sides of the Ming army formation also began to break through, and on both sides of the Qing army formation, launched an attack. After shooting a round, he immediately retreated, without hesitation. The archers at the head of the city didn't even have time to react, and they watched the Ming cavalry withdraw from the firing range.

In just such a short time, about a quarter of the Qing soldiers who left the city were killed or wounded. The rest of the soldiers were all frightened, and they all turned around and ran back, and the military law team didn't have time to react, and they were drowned by the sea of people who ran back. As for the wounded soldiers, no one thought to save them at all.

The Ming army did not pursue, just outside the range of the bow and arrow at the head of the city, and the whole team retreated to the official road, and after a while, everyone's muskets were loaded, and then row after row sat down in place to rest.

The Manchu soldiers at the head of the city could see the faces of these Ming soldiers, and they were all very relaxed. It's like there's no fighting, just going out to hunt.

This was also a humiliation, but the Manchu soldiers at this time, including Azig himself, did not dare to deal with it anymore, and could only bear this humiliation silently. It was really the firepower of the Ming army just now, which shocked them too much.

The defender of Zhenjiang Fort was lucky not to die, went to the head of the city, knelt down to Azig, and said with a look of grief and indignation: "Lord Belle, the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, and we have not prepared a chariot, and many of the soldiers are hungry, this battle is really impossible to fight!" ”

Azig's strict order just now was to ask them to go out of the city to attack the Ming army and drag the Ming army. Therefore, the guards of Zhenjiang Fort are mentally prepared to be punished. But what he didn't expect was that Azig just sighed heavily and didn't say anything.

When I looked up, I saw that Azig's face was full of frustration. No more anger, no more excitement, just low mood.

At this moment, suddenly one of Azig's guards pointed outside the city and shouted: "Lord Belle, Grandpa Yanguli!" ”

When Azig heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, could it be that Yanguli led the reinforcements over so quickly? Why didn't you hear the movement of the army?

Thinking so, he looked up, and suddenly, he was dumbfounded again.

Azig did see Yanguli, but only one head, hanging from the barrel of a gun, dangling there as the gun-wielding Ming soldiers moved.

At this moment, Azig was completely desperate, and he didn't even want to see the Ming army swaggering past outside the city. Turned around and walked slowly towards the arrow tower, out of sight.

When his guards saw it, they knew that their master was hit hard by the Ming army, their eyes moved, and they hurriedly said: "Master, Sinuiju is not far away, if the 1,000 elites of Duoduo Belle can rush over, they will definitely be able to fight with the Ming army!" ”

Hearing this, Azig's step immediately stopped, and his spirit seemed to have recovered a lot, and he immediately ordered: "Send someone to watch, and if there is any movement, we will cooperate immediately." ”

"Wow!" The guards took the order and left.

Outside the city, there were not many Manchu soldiers who were killed on the spot, most of them were wounded, lying outside the city wailing. Those whose legs are not injured try to stand up and walk back, while those whose legs are injured crawl with their hands, and those whose hands and feet are injured can only lie there and cry for their fathers and mothers.

The gate of Zhenjiang Fort was closed, and the Manchus were afraid that the Ming army would seize the city. Therefore, when the wounded men who were able to move arrived at the gates, they cried and opened the gates. Their cries were a great blow to the morale of the city. In particular, the cries of the local soldiers and the screams of their familiar companions made the morale of the city even more demoralized.

In the past, there was a strict order that the dead and wounded companions must be rescued, but now, the dead and wounded companions have been abandoned outside the city. Daqing, what the hell is going on?

Azig was also discouraged by the cries outside the city, and went up to the city to take a look. It was found that the Ming army had no intention of seizing the city, but just sat there to rest, pointing at the head of the city, and his face was full of jokes. Although he was humiliated, Azig breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered half of the city gate to be opened to receive the wounded.

Outside the city, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw the Manchu Qing being so cautious. Although he is not very old, he has been following Cao Wenzhao in the army, he has experienced the arrogance of the previous Jianyu, but now he is like this, the world has changed, and His Majesty is still powerful!

He didn't have compassion for the wounded. These prisoners, the ones who don't have the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty in their hands? Over the years, there have been more than a dozen lives per capita, right? The reason why he allowed them to go back at this time was because he knew that those soldiers had been hit by lead bullets, and with the ability of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nine times out of ten they could not save these wounded soldiers. Even if you have a broken hand or a foot, there is still a risk of death, and the risk is still very high. In that case, it's better to let Jianyu toss around.

In the arrow tower at the head of the city, Azig waited anxiously, waiting for the leader of the Duoduo army to come and kill him. But until noon, the grain carts that were snatched by the Ming army passed by one after another, until no more grain trucks passed, and the Ming army horses outside the city also followed behind the last grain carts, swaggering away, and there was still no trace of abnormality. This made Azig's face unusually ugly, and he even suspected that Duoduo would not save him when he saw death.

After all the Ming troops passed, there was finally a trace of Jianyu Tanma outside the city. There are quite a few of them, who are scouts of the grain protection team, who came to Zhenjiang Fort at this time to tell them about the situation there. It is said that on the battlefield ambushed by the Ming army, there are corpses of Qing soldiers everywhere, and the Ming cavalry pursues and kills everywhere, which also makes the range of corpses very large. This Ming army is too powerful, and although the army was gathered at Tangzhan Fort, it didn't dare to come over immediately, and only slowly came over after the horse returned.

Another thing that made Azig feel a little better was that as soon as the war broke out, Tanma kept going west to call the police, city after city, and it was estimated that in a few days, the elite would be able to catch up.

But he soon remembered that if the Ming army went to sea from the Yalu River, the reinforcements would definitely not be in time. Suddenly, his whole person was bad again. However, he thought in his heart that the cooperation of the Ming army's army by sea and land should not be so good?

In the past, on the side of the Yalu River, there was no trace of the Ming army's sailors. Could they still have expected that they would pass by there today, and then they would rob the grain, and there would be a sailor in the nearest place to pick them up? That's impossible!
