Sun Long smiled bitterly and peeked in the direction behind the large array, where the brothers of the artillery battalion were sweating profusely in the rain and busily handling some trumpet furlong cannons, trying to push them to the front line.

As for the large Furlong cannons, and even the larger redcoat cannons, they are still fighting the mud roads on the road at the moment.

"Lord Wang, the earth-shaking thunder is different from ordinary firearms, it is a large bamboo tube or porcelain jar as a carrier, filled with gunpowder, placed in the receiver, the steel wheel is fired, the cable is the guide, no need for the fuse to ignite, the gunpowder is built-in, and the wind and rain do not invade, so it can be used in rainy days." Sun Long explained: "But this kind of firearm is bulky and inconvenient to throw and shoot, so it can only be used for defense and ambush. ”

Dolgon nodded, thoughtful: "Just like Wang Huan is using it at the moment?" ”

Sun Long's face changed, but he had to admit: "That's right." ”

Dorgon added, "Our cannons really can't be used in this weather?" You see, the Ming army is there, and a single cannon can not only smash their earthen wall defenses, but also deter their soldiers and destroy their fighting spirit, killing two birds with one stone. ”

As he said this, he looked straight ahead, as if he were talking to himself.

But in Sun Long's ears, it was as uncomfortable as a steel knife to his neck, he knew very well that the imperial court transferred him from Guangxi precisely because of his familiarity with firearms, as a general of the artillery battalion under Kong Youde who studied under Sun Yuanhua, being able to get the regent's appreciation was equivalent to one step to the sky. But on the contrary, if he can't crush the opposing Ming army in the firearm and have the effect that the regent expects, I'm afraid that what awaits him will not be good fruit.

Sun Long gritted his teeth, hurriedly stroked the hem of his robe, knelt on the ground, and responded: "The last general will urge you to operate the cannon as soon as possible!" ”

Dorgon waved his hand and smiled, "Wait for the good news!" ”

Sun Long stood up in fear, bowed back, and withdrew more than ten steps away before standing up straight and turning to leave.

The rain on the road was too heavy, and it never stopped, although the gunpowder was wrapped in several layers of oilcloth to protect it like serving the uncle, but it was inevitable to be damp, Sun Long walked all the way to the direction of the artillery camp with a calm face, and thought to himself, no matter what, he must get a few cannons to eliminate the regent's anger, otherwise not only himself, but the entire artillery battalion will not die well today.

It's just that this weather ...... He looked up at the sky, pursed his lips, and his face became more and more gloomy.

……

After Sun Long left, Man Dahai, who was standing on the side, thought for a while, stepped forward and whispered to Dolgon: "Imperial Father, Sun Long is afraid...... It doesn't have much effect, not to mention whether the gunpowder is damp or not, just operating the cannon in the rain can't make a sound. ”

Dolgon closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened them slowly, and said slowly: "I know, Kong Youde has been here for so long, I have heard and seen, I know a thing or two about the limitations of firearms, and I want him to go, but I hope it will play a role." ”

"Originally, I thought that we couldn't use firearms in this heavy rain, and we couldn't use them on the Ming army's side, so everyone used knives to put them right, and we had to fight in battle, who were we Jurchen warriors afraid of? But I didn't expect that Wang Huan had an endless stream of new gadgets, just Zhentian Lei had never heard of him using it before, but it was an accident when he moved out today, and I didn't know if there were any strange things behind. ”

He smiled: "But these instruments are so strong that they can't stand up to the number of us." The war is a journey, without him, relying on a potential, astronomical geography, the number of people, the level of morale, etc., are all potential, Wang Huan occupies the geography, and has firearms to assist, this is his potential, and we, not to mention anything else, just rely on the number of people, it is enough! ”

"One force will drop ten." Dolgon put away his smiling face, regained his wolf-like fierce expression, and said with his eyebrows twisted: "Tell Bai Guangen and Liu Fangming to continue to rush, if you dare to hesitate, the Mongolian Broad Sea Department that is following them will step directly over their heads!" ”

Man Dahai grinned, this kind of play is the correct way to play the Jianzhou Jurchens, go forward, wave the knife and rush into battle, no matter what firearms and water weapons you have, they will all be defeated under the iron hooves of the Qing Dynasty.

The sound of the horn suddenly sounded, the drum rumbled, and the murderous aura of the black and black came down from the sky with the dense drum beat, like a black cloud covering the sky, descending on the heads of the people.

Bai Guangen licked his lips and looked up at Liu Fangming's position in the distance, and in the smoke, it seemed that Liu Fangming's tall and thin body was also looking over here.

"Your mother!" Bai Guangen scolded, he understood that Liu Fangming and himself had the same mind, and they were waiting for the other party to go first.

The sound of trumpets and drums in the rear formation was like a spell that would kill people, and the Mongolian cavalry following behind had slowly pressed up, looking at the posture, if the Han army did not move, they would rush up regardless of it.

A group of cronies will gather around and look at their main general anxiously, what should I do? Gotta get an idea.

Tang Tong's corpse in front of him was probably scattered in a certain place, and he didn't know if he could pick it up and put together a whole corpse, but no one cared about him anymore, his people basically died in the explosion of the earth-shattering thunder, and the shield car was blown into pieces of wood, such a tragic situation suddenly made Bai Guangen and Liu Fangming stop.

I didn't dare to advance or retreat, and I stopped in the middle of the two sides awkwardly.

But when the horn sounded, Bai Guangen understood that he couldn't hesitate and had to attack.

Only the offense still has a chance to survive.

"Most of the Ming army's earth-shattering thunder has been consumed by Tang Tong's men and horses, and those iron bumps can only be used once, and they will be gone." Bai Guangen shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, rush over, fill in the trench, and we will be considered successful!" The rest will be left to the Mongols, who are the main force in the charge! ”

"That'...... What if there are any remaining iron bumps? A family member asked in a trembling voice.

Bai Guangen kicked over and scolded: "Leave your mother behind!" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut you! ”

The soldier was kicked to the bone, and he didn't dare to make a sound. Bai Guangen glanced at him fiercely, got up and shouted: "If we drag on any longer, the Mongols will come up and gnaw our bones!" If you want to live, give me the fuck! ”

The stagnant shield cart was pushed up again, staggering forward, and from time to time the defeated soldiers of Tang Tong's army ran back, passing them in panic, some were smarter, mixed into Bai Guangen's team, and some were frightened, and fled directly to the back, and were shot into hedgehogs by the Mongolian soldiers who followed.

Soon, the distance of fifty zhang passed, Bai Guangen came to the place where Tang Tong died, which was only more than 100 zhang away from the Ming army trench, and the figure of the Ming army behind the wall could be seen clearly, with the corpse of the dead Qing soldier under his feet, and the mud mixed with blood was stepped on by the military boots, making a "squeak" sound, which made Bai Guangen feel even more frightened.

The wheels rolled rapidly, pushing past the corpses and the remnants of the wood, and the huge craters formed by the explosion were like devouring monsters, and Bai Guangen didn't even dare to look at them, lest there would be a residual earth-shattering thunder explosion.

Fortunately, there were no explosions, and the shield car group came to the front of the first trench smoothly, and the Ming troops behind the low wall did not react, and the expected shelling did not happen, and not even a single shot was fired.

Bai Guangen was ecstatic in his heart: "Sure enough, firearms can't be used in this rain, and the earth-shaking thunder will be gone once you use it, God help me!" ”

He stood up, and half of his head popped out from behind the shield cart, shouting, "Brothers, fill the hole!" ”
