The wilderness is filled with gunsmoke, the valley between Luliang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain, the Qing soldiers are like clouds, and the eight banner soldiers and green battalion soldiers wearing armor of various colors are spread all over the land.

The Wei army was thundering on the front, and the cannons spewed white smoke from time to time, flashing orange-red cannon flames, smashing the cannonballs on the road of the 3,000 Qing troops, splashing up clusters of yellow soil.

The artillery of the Qing army, dragged by the war horse, stopped on the two wings of the Qing army's infantry from time to time, roaring and roaring, and the cannonballs whistling and smashing into the earthen wall, suppressing the artillery of the Wei army.

The copper cannon of the Qing army is completely imitated from the field copper cannon of the Wei army, but their cannon wall is thicker, and a few hoops are added to the cannon body, which is obviously not up to par with the smelting technology and the casting process is immature.

Firing the same weight of projectiles, the Qing army's cannon was much heavier, not as light as the Wei army.

Azig is one of the only four remaining princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he has fought for more than 20 years, and his level is still there.

After observing the Wei army's defensive line, he immediately chose to concentrate on a breakthrough, and the point he chose happened to be Xiayang Fort, which was close to Lianshui.

Choosing this place has an advantage, that is, when attacking a little, the Wei army will definitely be reinforced left and right, and the left flank of Xiayang Fort is Shushui, which is conducive to the breakthrough of the Qing army.

On the hillside, under the banner of the Qing army, Azig drew out a clairvoyant mirror to observe the battlefield, and the three thousand Qing troops approached the Wei defense line with more than 100 shield carts in the sound of horns.

The shield cart had two wheels, and in front of it was a three-inch-thick, seven-foot-high plank with a wet quilt nailed to it.

Although it can't block the shells, it has no major problems blocking the guns and rockets.

One hundred shield chariots, three thousand soldiers, one thousand birdmen and archers, three hundred thunder throwers, one thousand sword and shield soldiers, and seven hundred spearmen.

Behind the Green Battalion soldiers, there were fifty Eight Banner soldiers with swords at their waists and bows and arrows, they did not participate in the attack, but supervised the battle, and the bows and arrows in their hands were specially designed to shoot the Green Battalion soldiers who dared to retreat.

These Eight Banners armor soldiers have good archery skills, one person, one bow, can control a long battle line.

"Push and go! Hurry up! Sun Maosheng shouted loudly, commanded his subordinates, and pushed ten shield carts forward.

According to his experience, the Wei artillery would often bombard them from both sides, forming crossfire so that the shells could hit more soldiers, and the triangle at the front of the formation would be relatively safe.

Ordinary people think that it is safe to follow both sides, but Sun Maosheng knows that it is easier to be hit by artillery there, so he urges the soldiers to move forward, and this is the experience.

The green battalion soldiers pushed the shield cart forward, and on both sides of Sun Maosheng's side, more than 100 shield carts marched in unison, and behind the shield cart were the close soldiers carrying the trench bridge.

Three thousand men and horses pounced on the Wei army, as if the infantry was coordinated, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Sun Maosheng held a knife in his hand, his face was hideous, but in fact, he was more timid than his subordinates, as a veteran of the Qing army, after fighting with the Wei army, he knew how powerful the Wei army was.

At this time, the shield cart continued to move forward, and sure enough, there were constantly shield carts on both sides that were overturned by cannonballs, and the iron bullets swept a diagonal line driven by huge inertia, smashing a famous Qing sergeant over, and finally fell to the ground, and the cannonballs soaked in blood rolled down far away.

Sun Maosheng's gaze looked at the Wei defense line in front of him from the gap between the shield carts, and in front of the earthen wall was a trench one zhang wide, not knowing the depth, and outside the trench were scattered with these horses, antlers, and pointed wooden stakes with oblique thorns.

At this time, Sun Maosheng was advancing with his waist bent, and the flames on the earthen wall opposite flashed, raising a cloud of gunpowder smoke to cover the earthen wall.

With a "bang" sound, a three-pound iron bullet shot out a straight line, hitting a shield car next to Sun Maosheng with lightning speed, and the iron bullet tore up the quilt wildly, smashed the guard board, and the broken wood splashed like raindrops.

The soldier pushing the cart behind the shield cart was immediately covered with broken wood, and the soldier fell to pieces.

Sun Maosheng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly roared, "Quick, come here!" ”

It's not easy to get mixed up, Sun Maosheng doesn't want his subordinates to die, otherwise he won't be able to do this, he still wants to rely on them to make some military exploits, help him carry the flag, and be the master.

The shield car was destroyed, the Qing army behind was stunned, some people turned around and ran, but they were shot over by an arrow from the Eight Banners who supervised the battle, and the rest of the people heard Sun Maosheng's words and hurriedly hid behind other shield cars.

At this time, the distance was shortened, the artillery of the Ming army was sharper, from time to time the shield cart was destroyed, sawdust flew sideways, the wounded soldiers rolled on the ground and wailed, the miserable screams continued, and the road ahead was scattered with corpses.

"Rush to Ben!" Not far from Sun Maosheng, General Li Benshen drew his sword and roared angrily.

The shield car of the Qing army suddenly increased its speed, and at this moment, the Wei soldiers who were observing behind the earthen wall saw the Qing army approaching and hurriedly waved the order flag.

In the anti-artillery pit, Zhao Mingchong pulled out his sword, pointed forward, and shouted angrily, "Fire gunner, go!" ”

A rapid drum sounded, and the Wei soldiers who were holding firearms immediately climbed out of the anti-artillery pit, put the guns on the earthen wall, and tilted their heads to aim at the stopped Qing army's shield car.

A series of gunshots sounded, and the Wei soldiers fired a round of guns, and the earthen wall was instantly filled with gunsmoke.

At this time, the shield carts of the Qing army had stopped outside the horses and antlers, and the wooden walls of the city were connected one by one, and the Qing soldiers began to shoot with their guns, and the Wei army behind the earthen wall was fired.

Between the two fronts, the projectile "swished" and smoke filled the air.

"Thunder thrower, sword and shield soldiers ready!" Li Benshen shouted angrily.

After the shield car, more than a dozen Qing army thunderbolts ignited the earth-shattering thunder, and the sword and shield soldiers tightened their weapons and prepared to charge.

As soon as the trumpet sounded, the Qing army, which was holding the earth-shattering thunder, rushed out of the gap in the shield cart, and the Wei sergeant took the fire gun handed by his comrade, and immediately raised the gun and hit it.

The mine-thrower who had just rushed out was knocked on his back and fell, and with a loud "boom", the explosion swept the surrounding soldiers away.

The thunderbolt who had dodged the bombardment of the fire bolt rushed out a few steps and threw the earth-shattering thunder suddenly, and in the next moment, a series of explosions rang out in front of the earthen wall.

Because of the blocking of horses and antlers, the distance was too far, and most of the earth-shaking thunder fell on the outside of the earthen wall, but the dust kicked up by the explosion almost blocked the vision of the Wei army.

"Kill!" The Qing swords and shield bearers suddenly roared angrily, and rushed out, and they lifted their antlers to resist their horses and rushed towards the trench.

At this time, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the Wei soldiers on the earthen wall carried out a nest of fronts, and the "Xiuxiu" rockets rushed out, and at the same moment, the Wei army's mine-throwers ignited the earth-shattering thunder and threw it, and the front of the earthen wall was like a storm blowing in an instant, and the Qing army that rushed out was killed and wounded in a moment.

A few miles away, Azig received the clairvoyant mirror, his face was a little shocked, he waved his hand, and said angrily: "Three more thousand!" ”
