If at this time, the wooden cannons of the Qing army could fire normally, then even if they were wooden, they would definitely be able to bring a lot of damage to the model army, but after a long time of artillery preparation, long-distance shooting by the stragglers, and the explosion caused by the Qing army's own indiscriminate artillery, there are now no wooden cannons that can be fired in the breakthrough area. However, the Qing army placed some 3-pounder guns on the artillery fort of the second earthen wall, and the shotguns of these guns could also cover this area. It's just that they're also within range of the skirmishers' rifled guns, which makes their aiming always interfere. However, these cannons still achieved some success, after all, shotguns don't need to be too accurate. However, the number of shotguns of the three-pounder gun is small, the power is limited, even if a shot hits, it can only cover two or three people, and the three-pounder cannon of the Qing soldiers because the barrel is too thick, the heat dissipation is very slow, and the front uses solid shells to shoot the shield car, so at this time most of the barrels are already hot, and the rate of fire has dropped a lot. It was simply impossible to suppress the model army that rushed through the trenches.

Most of the female walls on the earthen wall have been smashed by cannonballs, and some of the Qing troops who have lost the cover of the female wall also hold muskets and shoot at the model army, some use bows and arrows to shoot at the model army, and some know that most of them will not take advantage of the shooting with the model army, so they simply pull out their knives and rush straight up, wanting to fight the model army hand-to-hand.

It was not the first time Niu Shan had gone to the battlefield, but it was the first time to engage the Qing army, in the battle just now, he had just fired two shots, and the bullets in the gun were all gone, and he saw more than a dozen Qing troops, led by an officer, rushing towards them. The leading Tartar shouted with his mouth wide open, holding his shield in one hand and wielding a waist knife like a snowflake in the other, but the speed under his feet slowed slightly.

Niu Shan took a leap forward, making the appearance of stabbing a bayonet in the officer's chest. The Qing officer paused and raised his shield to his chest, ready to fend off Niu Shan's thrust. Who knew that Niu Shan suddenly stopped, but the two warriors who were originally a little behind on the left and right of Niu Shan suddenly accelerated, overtaking him from both sides, and two cold bayonets stabbed straight towards the Jian Yan from both sides. This change was completely unexpected by the Jianshen officer, but he was also a battle-hardened veteran, and his reaction speed was still good. I saw that he swung his shield to the left, and the waist knife of his right hand was one square to the right, and he opened both bayonets. But at this moment, Niu Shan let out a loud shout, and an arrow rushed forward, and the bayonet in his hand stabbed straight into the chest of the Jianzhi officer. This kind of continuous speed change coordination is a common trick used in the coordination of the model army bayonet team, which is simple, but extremely effective. At this time, the Jian Xuan had just finished blocking on the left and right, the empty door in front of his chest was wide open, and it was too late to turn the sword and shield back to defend, he shouted in despair, watching Niu Shan's bayonet stab him in the chest like lightning. The double-layered cotton armor on his body was almost no different from paper in front of the steel bayonet, and the three-edged bayonet easily pierced the cotton armor, stabbed straight in, and then twisted inside, his eyes went black, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Niu Shan pulled out his bayonet, and by this time the Qing army had already pounced on it and fought with the model army. If you are one-on-one, bayonet against sword, shield and sword, most of the time you will suffer, but when you fight on the battlefield, it is different. Because the combat mode of the sword and shield has higher requirements for space, in the melee, the sword and shield are not very easy to cooperate with each other, unlike those soldiers in the model army, several people get together, they can closely lean together, cooperate with each other, and do not interfere with each other.

Just when Niu Shan and these Jianqi were in a mess, more Jianshan, and at the same time, more model army soldiers rushed over. Most of the newly rushed Model Army soldiers still had bullets in their guns, and they first fired a volley at Jianshen from a distance of about ten paces, and then took advantage of the casualties and shock caused by this volley to Jianxin, and pounced on him with bayonets......

The model army raised wooden platforms more than three feet high behind the shield cart, and the straggler king tiger climbed up, holding his gun and looking at the battlefield in front of him. The skirmisher is generally not thrown into hand-to-hand combat, but that doesn't mean he has nothing to do, his mission is to use accurate marksmanship to take out high-value targets such as Zhang Jing and Bai Jia of the enemy army, and at this time he is eyeing an old guy in silver armor. That old thing was probably in his forties and almost fifty, with a team of white armor, shouting and fighting. To say that the combat skills of the white-armored soldiers are indeed excellent, in the melee, these white-armored soldiers brought a lot of casualties to the model army.

"Old thing, don't move, otherwise how can Lao Tzu send you to the West Heaven?" The old guy was always moving, which made Wang Laohu very dissatisfied. He muttered, moving the muzzle of the gun slightly to keep up with the old fellow's movements. Wang Laohu knew that that guy was so conspicuous, he was afraid that there were already several guns aimed at him at this time, and if he moved slowly, he would probably be preempted by others. But if you don't know how to shoot, you don't miss a shot, and in the time it takes to reload, this old thing has probably been killed several times.

It was then that he saw a model soldier stabbing the old thing with a bayonet. The old thing swept across the shield and swept the bayonet aside, slashing at the soldier with a single sword. This series of movements allowed him to stand for a moment.

"Bang!" Wang Laohu seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger. According to the rules, after firing this shot, Wang Laohu should not observe the results of the battle, but should immediately reload the bullet. However, before taking out the bullet from the bullet bag, Wang Laohu had practiced I don't know how many times, and it would not be wrong to close his eyes, and of course, it would not be wrong to take the bullet while observing the results. Moreover, he is not completely observing the results of the battle, he is also continuing to search for targets, isn't he?

Wang Laohu saw that the old thing had just slashed the model soldier with a knife, and was about to make up for it, but suddenly stopped, as if it had been suddenly frozen. Wang Laohu has seen a lot of this situation, and being hit by a Mini bullet is often such an effect. Then the old thing shook and fell headlong.

"Kill a big official!" Wang Laohu thought proudly, and at the same time lowered his head and began to reload.

The Qing army began to be unable to support it, especially the white armor soldiers who were the backbone of their combat effectiveness were constantly killed and injured under the shooting of the stragglers, and it was even more difficult to resist the attack of the model army.

As with the Model Army's fortifications at Niuzhuang Fort, between the first and second earthen walls, longitudinal communication trenches were dug into which the soldiers could jump into and retreat when retreating, and if the enemy pursued them from the ground, the cannons on the earthen walls behind them could cover them with shotguns. If they also jumped into the traffic trench in pursuit, as long as a cannon was placed at the exit of the trench and a solid shell smashed through, it was not known how many pursuers could be killed.

After a short pursuit, the soldiers of the Model Army stopped and retreated to the anticline behind the first earthen wall to avoid the artillery fire of the Qing army, and at the same time strengthen the defense and consolidate the results of the battle. So the fighting stopped for a while.

"Cut down all the people who took the lead in escaping, and put all the men of their families into the clothing camp, and the women and children were all enslaved by the banners!" Huang Taiji said angrily, his face was frighteningly red because of the bloodshot. Huang Taiji also knew that relying on these two fortresses might not be able to stop the model army, and his purpose was actually only to use these two fortresses to drag the model army until the wheat harvest. But on the first day, the first earthen wall was captured by the Model Army, and if this situation continued, it would be impossible for these two fortresses to hold for so long. What is even more hateful is that in today's battle, there was a large number of war-fearing phenomena among the Qing army, shooting and firing indiscriminately, and retreating without receiving orders...... If it is not severely punished, it will be difficult to fight the battle that follows.

"Huh." The following banner owners Baylor all responded in unison, no one stood up to plead for others, everyone knew that it was now a time of life and death.

"In this battle, we suffered a big loss. Relying on defense, it was actually penetrated by Zheng Jiajun in a wave, and it also lost so many ...... This defense of ours must be changed, you say, how should it be changed? Huang Taiji asked again.
