"Ben knows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Du Yonghe secretly said ashamed, hurriedly collected his mind, passed down the military order, summoned the sergeants to prepare the sacks, and as soon as the Ming artillery stopped, he immediately threw it up to plug the gap.

I thought that the Ming army would blast the outer wall out of the gap, and it would stop firing the artillery, but I didn't expect the Ming army's firepower to be more fierce, one cannon after another crossed the outer wall, hit the inner wall, accurate and ruthless, the inner wall is earthen made, relatively soft masonry, was smashed by a cannonball a pit, every time it hit, it shook fiercely, and countless dust fell.

The Qing soldiers surrounded the gap, carrying sacks with a depressed face, they had no artillery to fight back, and the bows and arrows could not hit the artillery positions of the Ming army, so they could not destroy them, so they could only watch the artillery of the Ming army keep blowing up the wall.

"Can't let them bang anymore! We can't be beaten passively anymore! A Qing soldier roared angrily, trotted to Du Yonghe, and shouted for orders: "Please general, allocate a hundred horses, and mark the artillery that is willing to lead the iron cavalry out of the city and destroy the Ming dog's artillery!" ”

Du Yonghe looked out of the city across the sword, and saw that the Ming army was in a tight formation, the defense facilities were perfect, the horses were rejected, the antlers were complete, and the artillery position was surrounded by infantry soldiers, and the defense was very thoughtful, he shook his head lightly and said: "No, no, the Ming dog is too strictly guarded." ”

"No matter how strict you are, you have to give it a try! If Ming Gouzi's artillery is bombarded unscrupulously, the inner city will be lost! Horizontal and vertical is a death, it's better to let the mark go down and rush! ”

"This—" Du Yonghe hesitated.

"Please, General!" Mr. Qian's face flushed and pleaded loudly.

"I can only be beaten and can't fight back, I really can't stand this bird's anger, I want to go too, please ask the general's permission!" The other bearded general also knelt down with his fists in pleading.

Two officers took the lead, and many Qing soldiers also knelt on the ground to ask for their lives, and they all held a breath of anger in their chests.

The morale can not be discouraged, Du Yonghe saw that the soldiers and generals were holding the heart of death, and they were quite relieved in their hearts, he nodded, and said solemnly: "In this case, the general will be perfect." Thousands of total Lu Dingke! ”

"Mark it in!" The Qian general who asked for his life just now responded loudly.

"Ben will give you two hundred cavalry to go out of the city to raid, and put Liu Jiaheng as your deputy, be sure to destroy the artillery of the Ming army, otherwise you will come to see you!"

Lu Dingke held his chest high and held his fists to receive the order.

Two hundred Qing cavalry death squads quickly assembled under the south gate of the urn city, javelins, knives and spears were ready, they rushed out of the urn city like the wind, and the target was directly aimed at the Ming artillery position outside the city.

Outside the moat of the south gate, the position of the Ming army, the military flag covers the field, the drums are bursting, thousands of soldiers are arrayed around, the swords and spears are dazzling, among the layers of soldiers and guards, dozens of artillery pieces stand side by side, the roar is endless, and dozens of people are riding in a team, patrolling the periphery.

As soon as the two hundred Qing cavalry rushed out of the urn city, Zhu Youlang discovered them, knowing that the Qing army was forced to jump over the wall, he sneered in his heart, and asked the artillery sentry commander to continue to direct the gunners to fire at the gap, and on the other hand, he issued an order to transfer a thousand-man team to the mouth of the moat to block the Qing cavalry who were attacking the city.

A thousand men stopped at the mouth of the moat and lined up, with musketeers and archers in front, of which more than 100 musketeers stood in three teams on average, with pikemen in the center, and sword and shield soldiers guarding both sides, forming a most basic field army formation.

There are not many birds in the army, and each thousand-person team is divided into more than 100 shots, but there is an advantage of birds, it is easy to get started, a recruit who does not use firearms at all, as long as he practices for a month and shoots dozens of shots, he can become a qualified musketeer, and he can fight with the enemy on the battlefield, unlike archers, who do not have more than a year of training, and they are not accurate at all.

As the Qing cavalry death squad gradually approached, the battalion officer hurriedly waved his flag and ordered: "The first row of bird soldiers and archers are ready, light the fire, open the bow - release!" ”

Originally, the launch of a shotgun had to go through nearly ten steps, including charging, pressing, loading, charging the fire rope, and ignition. After completing the entire reloading process, it would be nice to be able to fire one shot with thirty breaths. However, the ten soldiers of the Ming army have obviously already taken this into account and have done all the steps before ignition in advance, so that if only the last ignition process is left, the speed will be fast.

After a short breath, bam! Bang! Bang! ……

More than 30 bird guns plus more than 30 big bows fired at the same time, after a burst of smoke rose, fifty steps away from the Qing army, several Qing soldiers and horses were shot by shotguns, bows and arrows lead bullets, arrows rested, horses' hooves stepped on, suddenly into a ball of meat mud.

The original arquebus of the shotgun is very poor in performance and has a low hit rate, so only many shotguns can be fired together to kill people dozens of paces away, even so the hit rate is still very low, especially for the cavalry moving at high speed, more than 30 shotguns plus dozens of big bows are fired together, and they can be put on hold to a few cavalry at once, which is a very good record.

After firing, the archers stood still, the first row of musketeers quickly retreated from the left and right flanks into the rear, and the second row of musketeers prepared the arquebuses.

Seeing that the second row of shotgunners of the Ming army began to ignite, Lu Dingke, the commander of the Qing army, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, we have no way out, let's see whose life is great, people die and birds are facing the sky, immortal for thousands of years, and the head has a big scar, rush over with me!" ”

Two hundred Qing cavalry held the heart of death, all kinds of foul language, brandishing knives and guns in their hands, and rushed towards the Ming army formation with a roar.

Lu Dingke held a long knife, took the lead, and rushed forward more than a dozen steps in the blink of an eye, close, hundreds of javelins from behind Lu Dingke, flying out, falling into the Ming army's military formation, dozens of Ming army spearmen could not dodge, and were instantly nailed to the ground by javelins, the spears were crooked, and the tight spear array suddenly revealed flaws.

The knights of the Qing army waved their long knives, smiling and were about to take advantage of the situation to penetrate the formation and destroy the phalanx, at the critical moment, the gunfire rang out again, this time it was two rows temporarily adjusted to one row, concentrating more than sixty firecrackers, more than thirty archers fired volleys at war horses, shooting at close range, the accuracy was much higher, one or twenty war horses were shot, jumping wildly, throwing many Qing soldiers off their horses and crushing them to death, and the Qing army's arrow front cavalry formation also fell into a short period of chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the musketeers and archers retreated in time, and the sword and shield soldiers on both sides quickly divided their men and gathered in front of the military formation, standing in a row, and the rattan cards were erected to protect the pikemen behind them, giving them time to organize the array.

Lu Dingke's left arm in the charge was also grazed by the flying projectile, but with iron armor to protect him, it was no big problem, he beckoned the rear team to adjust the formation, and then roared in a sharp array and continued to rush towards the Ming army's infantry phalanx.
