"Shangguangou!" As soon as this place name appeared in his mind, Yue Tuo remembered the Jurchen armor soldiers who had been wiped out by the entire army.

Will the Ming army ambush themselves here again? Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Send people to explore the peaks on both sides, and you must look carefully." We can't afford to lose twice in one place! ”

Soon twenty armor men were divided into the ranks and marched forward on either side, and the scouts were knocked off their horses by the fire as soon as they stepped forward.

Seeing that there was indeed an ambush here, the Jurchens breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, their commander discovered the enemy's conspiracy, otherwise they would have repeated the mistake of the past and fell into Shangguangou again.

Looking at the long Shangguan ditch, Yue Tuo hesitated. He has only 3,000 people, and if he forcibly breaks into Shangguangou, he will definitely not be able to do it.

Slowly clear the Ming army on both sides, in that case, the daylily will be cold, and Xinjin will not be able to hold out at that time.

At this time, a force of 1,000 men rushed out of Shangguangou, and they stood in a tight formation at the entrance of Shangguangou to confront Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo saw that the other party was mainly using firecrackers again, and he decisively ordered: "Dismount and fight!" ”

The Jurchens divided two of Niulu's armor soldiers, and they took off the iron shields from their horses and pressed towards the Changxing army.

Qin Shi hung one arm on his chest, and the other hand held the hilt of the knife to observe the changes of the Jurchens. Seeing that the Jurchens had given up the war horse, he felt a pang of disappointment in his heart.

I didn't expect the Jurchens to learn to be smart and no longer blindly charge desperately. They began to know to protect with iron shields, and the foot soldiers stormed.

Looking at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, Qin Shi ordered: "Fire!" The red flag waved, and the artillery on the hillside roared. One by one, the shells hit the Jurchen armor, although they were all small 3-pounder cannons, but they were enough for the Jurchen armor soldiers holding iron shields.

The kinetic energy of the shells was not at all something that a mere iron shield could resist, and just one round of shelling drove a few bloody alleys in the ranks of the Jurchens.

The Jurchens endured heavy artillery fire and ran forward without a life. They knew that only by approaching the enemy would their heavy arrows work, and only by approaching the enemy would the artillery of the Ming army not fire.

Jurchen armor soldiers were constantly shattered by cannonballs, and stumps and broken arms flew everywhere in the crowd. When they had finally reached sixty paces, they were struck by a fiery gun.

Although the lead bullet shot by the fire gun was stopped by the iron shield hand in the front row, the continuous blows made the hand of the Jurchen armor soldier holding the iron shield almost want to break.

One of the armored soldiers couldn't hold on any longer, and his iron shield was only slightly lowered before a lead bullet exploded in the head.

Next, the Jurchens were surprised to find that there were sharpshooters in the Ming army. Only the slightest flaw in someone will be killed on the spot.

Gradually, the Jurchen armor soldiers couldn't stand it, and they retreated like a tide. After a burst of blows on the retreat road, there was less than one Jurchen armor soldier who could escape back in the end.

This made Ji Yuetuo, who was already sparsely populated, feel distressed, and he knew that he couldn't fight anymore.

If you want to break the Ming army's fire array, you must have a large number of armored slaves. Let those lowly efforts consume the lead bullets of the Changxing army, and wait until the Changxing army runs out of ammunition before their Jurchens can make a move.

At dusk at night, Huang Taiji received an urgent document from Yue Tuo, which said that Yue Tuo had discovered an ambush of the Changxing army in Shangguangou. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely, and Yue Tuo can't attack and loses two Niu Lu's armor soldiers. Hurry Fuzhou City to send reinforcements, otherwise by the time they break through Shangguangou, the enemy will already break through Xinjin City.

Huang Taiji was also taken aback when he received Yue Tuo's urgent paperwork, could it be that Zhang Dou really wanted to take this opportunity to win the new gold? If you guard a dying person like this, but lose a military town in vain, then you are the number one fool in the world!

He hurriedly ordered 2,000 Jurchen armor soldiers with positive blue and white banners to lead 6,000 Han army banners to rush to Shangguangou urgently, asking them to repel the enemy in front of them and hold Xinjin.

Eight thousand Houjin soldiers marched towards Shangguangou, and they carried torches for several miles, forming a fire dragon.

Although the Jurchens were anxious, they still had to take care of the soldiers of the Han military banner. These cannon fodder don't have mounts, and it's fast to get to Xinjin in the middle of the night with just two legs.

Huang Taiji has been restless since he sent his people, and he always felt that Zhang Dou's target was Lan Guitian at the head of the city.

Fortunately, there are still his 3,000 white flag armor soldiers and Liu Xingzuo's 4,000 Han army flags in Fuzhou City, and there is no need to be afraid of the sneak attack of the Ming army on Changsheng Island at all.

Huang Taiji has been keeping an eye on the battle situation, and he will send a wave of war horses every half an hour to inquire about intelligence.

It wasn't until the third watch that the tired Huang Taiji fell asleep on the bookcase, and he didn't know how long it took for a sharp voice to wake him up: "It's on fire!" The city is on fire! ”

Huang Taiji was awakened by the sound, and he got up from the bookcase with a spirit. When he went out and looked into the distance, he couldn't help but change his face.

It is the grain depot of Fuzhou City, where tens of thousands of people's grain and grass are stored. Once it was burned, Huang Taiji didn't dare to imagine that kind of thing happening.

An army without food to eat will not need to be attacked by the Ming army at all, and it will collapse by itself.

Huang Taiji hurriedly put on his armor and ran towards the grain depot with people. Along the way, he saw the injured Liu Xingzuo and his younger brother Liu Xingren, who were also disheveled and commanding the Han army banner to run towards the grain depot.

"How did the granary catch fire?" Huang Taiji asked.

Liu Xingzuo hurriedly pulled his younger brother to kneel: "The slave doesn't know, the slave who is recuperating at home hears that the grain depot is on fire, so he brings someone to put out the fire, and I hope that Lord Belle will see it!" ”

Huang Taiji picked up the horsewhip and hit the Liu family brothers, and scolded in his mouth: "Dog slave! If you don't know, hurry up and put out the fire, what are you doing on your knees? Will the fire be extinguished on its own if you kneel? ”

The brothers of the Liu family hurriedly beckoned the people of the Han Army Banner to go to the grain depot while running, and only when they arrived here did they know the huge fire.

The warehouse near the left has been completely set on fire, and even the warehouse has burned down. The people of the Han Army Banner would not be able to get close at all, and their hair would be curled and their clothes would smoke.

When Liu Xingzuo saw this situation, he shouted: "Don't worry about the warehouse on the left, quickly move all the grain out of the warehouse." Come on! It's too late! ”

Huang Taiji listened to Liu Xingzuo's words and nodded, the most correct way to think of in such a panicked fire is indeed a talent.

Seeing that the fire was spreading to the entire warehouse, and thousands of Han Army Banners couldn't save half of the food even if they were exhausted, Huang Taiji ordered: "Go and transfer the people and horses of the Lord's Zhengbai Banner and let them ......" Huang Taiji, who was just halfway through speaking, realized something, and he said loudly: "Let them go to the city gate, go to the city gate quickly!" ”
