"Nonsense!" "With this flag, they can't be without their cannons!" Hehe, where did our best cannons, as well as the best cannons of the Ming Kingdom, come from? Although the fourteenth brother is not very good at fighting, it is not something that anyone can make him suffer! They definitely still have cannons, they just don't know where to hide.

The last defeat in Jinghai made Dolgon very embarrassed, and Huang Taiji naturally took the opportunity to suppress Dolgon. However, in the summary of this battle, Huang Taiji was quite serious, in fact, in the encirclement of Jinzhou, the Qing army's trench arrangement, there was a lot of experience gained from Jinghai. Naturally, Duoduo knew these things, and even when he was fine, he deduced how to overcome such a defense.

However, judging from the results of Duoduo's own deduction, in addition to the long-term siege, it seems that the only way to fill it is to take human lives. If possible, Dodor really didn't want to attack such a fortress, but since he came, he couldn't just retreat without doing anything. Moreover, the sneak attack on the grain route of the Ming army was also insisted on by Duoduo himself. Because now it is his Niu Lu who is on the offensive line to resist Hong Chengchou. Although among all the banner masters, he has the most bulls, (there are thirty bulls in Duoduo's hands, which is twice as many as that of Dolgon and Azig, and this is only counting the number of bulls, and there are fifteen bulls in Duoduo's hands that are the direct cattle of the original Nurhachi, both in terms of number and the number of white armor soldiers are higher than the other bulls. But he couldn't stand it anymore.

Hong Chengchou's offensive organization was good, he almost used his own fortifications to pile up in front of Duoduo's fortifications little by little, and then used the means of encroachment to advance along the foot of the mountain little by little, so as to isolate the Qing army on the mountain and the Qing army on the main road. Hong Chengchou's each attack was not large-scale, but the troops invested were quite elite, and every time he took a little place, he began to recycle the defense and seriously consolidate the little place he had taken. Although the progress is very slow, it has been advancing, and judging from the exchange ratio between the two sides, Hong Chengchou does not seem to have suffered too much loss. This situation also raised the morale of the Ming army a lot, and even some teams that were not too elite were able to withstand one or two rounds when defending.

So Huang Taiji proposed two plans, one of which was to attack Hong Chengchou's back road and cut off his grain route. If this can almost succeed, then Hong Chengchou's army of more than 100,000 will almost certainly collapse without a fight. For the sake of this result, Dodor felt that it was okay to take the risk and try.

"What the master said is that the slaves are confused." The officer replied.

"Fifteen Baylor, do you think this is Hong Chengchou letting people plant a flag here to scare us?" Another general said.

"Aobai, this king first asked those coaters to prepare the shield cart." Dodor said to the general, "Then let's attack first." Do you want to know if you try it? You take your people to follow behind, and if you can break in, you let your people break through. ”

Ao Bai is a person with a yellow flag, he is a close confidant of Huang Taiji, and now he has more than 300 armor soldiers to follow Duoduo to copy the back road of the Ming army, so as not to think that Huang Taiji intends to use the Ming army to consume two white flags, which is also a balancing measure of Huang Taiji.

Ao Bai hugged his fists and said: "In this way, the slave will go and prepare first." ”

After the Battle of Jinghai, the Manchus made some improvements to the shield car according to the results of the battle. Nowadays, the shield carts of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all double-layered, and the two layers of wooden planks are usually empty, and when they die in battle, they are filled with grass and wood ash water, boiled several times, and then dried and pressed solid cotton, and then poured into water to soak it. According to Manchu experiments, such a shield could not stop the cannon at close range, even if it was a solid shell from a small Manchu imitation of the Hongyi cannon, but it was enough to block any musket or shotgun fired by a 24-pounder Hongyi cannon at close range. And because of the influence of the soaked cotton in the middle, even if it is penetrated by a solid bullet, the damage caused by the flying fragments is much smaller.

Of course, the weight of such a shield cart has increased greatly, so the handle of the shield cart has also been lengthened, and there are more people in charge of retracting the shield cart, and the axles of the shield cart have become more easily damaged. In many cases, even if they are not attacked, these shield carts can be paralyzed halfway through due to axle failure. But in any case, compared to the original shield car, this kind of shield car is obviously much easier to use when facing cannons.

Duoduo came this time, and the shield carts were not many, only five. After the order was given, the coaters began to busily load the shield cart with cotton and water......

……

"Looks like they're really going to attack, you see their shield cart seems to be playing a new trick." On the city tower, Guo Huaiyi pointed to the Manchu shield lane in the distance.

"It's like she's filling it in improvised, huh...... After pouring water into it, it seems that it must have been filled with some cotton, and it became a large cotton armor. Chang Le put down the binoculars and nodded.

"Guess what this thing's defense is?" Guo Huai said with a smile.

"I mentioned that the navy also played with similar things, of course, they were used to make ship boards, and it seemed to have some effect. I think that if we were still using a three-pounder gun, it would probably be a solid cannonball, and it would have to be close enough to pierce it. However, we are already using 12-pounder guns, and solid shells should be able to penetrate this thing easily, but shotguns probably don't work very well. Chang Le said with a frown.

"Anyway, there are only a few of them, and we have so many cannons, a salvo can destroy them." Zhang Qingxi, commander of the artillery battalion on the side, said.

"Don't, you're going to do this, don't those builders turn around and leave immediately? None of your cannons are allowed to fire without my orders. Chang Le hurriedly said, "First of all, only allow these cannons to be used on this city wall to show them." Slow down, don't hit too accurately! ”

"Commander, don't worry, just these few cannons, there is every crosshair, whether there is a shooting table, and I don't know how much gunpowder it can hold, whether it will explode, and such a thick iron cannon, no matter how you fight, it can't go anywhere, and it can't be accurate." Zhang Qingxi said.

At this time, the Manchu side was already ready, and the five shield carts were slowly pushed up, and the carts were naturally covered with white flags, but most of the armor soldiers who followed behind in the first wave were under Ao Bai.

Huang Deshui leaned forward and pushed the shield cart with great effort. A Tartar in cotton armor and armed with a ladder knife followed him.

"You Nikan, don't work hard! Dare to be lazy and hack you to death! The Tartar turned the ladder knife sideways, slapped the back of the cart coaters, and lowered his voice and said in Chinese, "Behind are the white-armored masters with yellow flags, their temper is not good, they can really kill people when they say that they can kill people!" ”

Huang Deshui knew that this Tartar would not really cut himself, because he was their family's coat, and the one who wanted to farm for their family was their family's property. No one would kill their own cattle and horses for a trivial reason for no reason. And their family only got their own coating. This Tartar is not a real Tartar, he is actually a Han man who has carried a flag. It is said that he was originally captured in the Battle of the Daling River, but now he is not known for why he was raised and turned into a Tartar.

The shield cart began to move forward slowly, and the second tartar continued to walk beside Huang Deshui with a knife, and said in a low voice: "There will be a cannon fire over there in a while." Don't panic when the cannon is fired, don't move, otherwise, those white-armored masters will kill you like crushing an ant to death. Don't even want to run, the white-armored masters behind are all archers, and you can't outrun their arrows. If a cannonball pierces the shield car, you can immediately fall down and pretend to be dead, you know? Lao Tzu is still waiting for you to go back and farm for Lao Tzu! ”

Huang Deshui didn't speak, just nodded.

"Boom" "boom", the sound of cannons sounded on the city wall in the distance. Huang Deshui shrank his neck suddenly. The second tartar stretched out his hand, grabbed him and said loudly: "Keep pushing, hard!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head, glanced at the yellow flag and white armor that followed behind, and said in a low voice: "The cannon is still far away, and it can't be hit." It's no wonder if you lie down now and don't get hacked to death. ”

Huang Deshui glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to push the cart.

Just as the second Tartar had estimated, the cannonballs fired from the city's head could not fly so far, and as soon as they flew past the outermost trench, they landed on the ground, and then jumped weakly, and then stopped.

"The cannon was fired so far away, and the shell flew so far. Maybe it's really those Ming soldiers who are scaring us with flags. Duoduo looked at the "Dutch soldiers" who fired the cannon from afar and smiled.

The shield cart pushed closer and closer, and soon came to the side of the trench, where it stopped. Suddenly there was a sound of bowstrings vibrating in the second trench, and then a rain of arrows fell from the sky. One of the arrows fell on the shoulder of the second tartar in cotton armor, and instead of going into it, he jumped and fell to the ground. There were also a few coats who were also hit by a few arrows, but they were all skin wounds.

"Light arrow throwing, light arrow is still so light, shooting far enough, no power at all, it's really Nikan's style." Ao Bai thought the same thing.

At this time, several cannons on the head of the city finally rang out again. It's just that there is still not a single hit. Under the cover of the shield cart, several coats of wrappers ran over with a few thick planks and carefully walked around the side of the shield cart and spread the planks on the trench. Then there was a rain of arrows, knocking down two coats (they had no armor). However, more planks were quickly laid up, and the shield cart ran over the planks and continued onwards.

The artillery on the head of the city fired another round. Still didn't hit, Ao Bai suddenly felt that the situation was still a little wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while.

The shield cart continued to move forward, and the Qing soldiers followed the shield cart through the first trench, and when they looked down, there was no one in the trench.

When the shield cart arrived in front of the second trench, a solid cannonball from the city finally hit the shield cart pushed by Huang Deshui and them, and the shield cart shook violently, and then ...... The shell didn't make it through the shield car.
