The first and second towns of the two lines of the Taiping Army were still desperately resisting the impact of the Qing army, but the middle line was penetrated more violently by the Qing army, and the word "concave" became more and more prominent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ge Yi and Tie Yi were frowning and looking at the new second and third towns on the middle line, they were all waiting. The 300 flying thunder cannons are all set up in the position of the new second town, and whether they can play a miraculous effect depends on the new second town.

Zhu Qinglai commanded more than 400 soldiers of the two guards to line up and fired a salvo at the Qing army that caught up, and the overwhelming projectiles galloped away, causing the Qing soldiers to fall one piece. But more Qing soldiers rushed forward over the corpses on the ground, and in the sight of the Taiping army, the Qing soldiers were rushing all over the sky, just like a plague of locusts, black and pressing, making people feel doubly depressed when they looked at it.

A general flag suddenly jumped out of the gun crater, planting a purple pennant in front of it.

"Purple Flag! Run in both directions! ”

After Liu Bangdong saw the banner of the B Brigade in front of him, he immediately shouted loudly and asked the soldiers to go around to both sides. Hundreds of retreating soldiers immediately divided into two groups and circled the sides of the artillery emplacement. The Qing army that was pursuing did not notice this change, and still rushed forward with hoarse shouts and killing. Many of the Taiping soldiers who were running slowly were caught up by the Qing soldiers and cut down to the ground, and some Taiping army recruits who had just been added to the new second town also forgot the requirements of the military order because of nervousness, and continued to blindly run towards the artillery array in front.

The entire central front battlefield stretched for more than three miles, and in this area, the Qing army invested tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, including the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, and flags of various colors were waved in the crowd. The sound of cannons, guns, and explosions of all kinds was endless. Smoke always rises over the battlefield, and smoke rises in the field of battle, and then is blown down by the wind. From a distance, it was like a thick fog, even if the sky was clear and the sun was shining, the sight of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the battlefield would never be beyond Lixu.

In the tormented waiting, the Qing army finally entered the range of the unconscionable cannon, Zhu Qinglai's palms oozed sweat, and the gunners squatting in the pit were even more nervously sweating. An auxiliary gunner who was holding a handful of incense in his hand was trembling, and he actually cut off the incense neatly, so that the gunner on the side couldn't help but scold him. The other auxiliary gunner hurriedly picked up the half-burning incense from the ground and held it in his hand, for fear that the incense would be extinguished.

150 meters, 140 meters, 120 meters...

On the ground, which the Qing army could not even perceive, a short pile of white lime was inserted in the grass every 10 meters. This short pile was not in the grass, and the Qing army strode over it, without checking it. The Taiping gunners in the pit were beating nervously, their eyes fixed on the short stake, and their ears were erected high, just to hear the order to fire the cannon.

After a group of Han troops entered the 100-meter range, Zhu Qinglai did not give the order to fire artillery, but ordered the gunners to continue to fire, which only made the Qing army more determined.

The stubborn resistance of the Taiping army did not deter the Qing army, and they rushed even more violently, because they knew that victory was already beckoning to them. As long as they defeat the last of the Taipings in front of them, they will be able to enjoy the fruits of victory. No one will retract their feet when they are on the verge of a kick, and neither can the gods. What's more, the big battle of tens of thousands of people is not something that the commander can withdraw with a word.

Tuntai, as a descendant of Aixin Jueluo, and as a clan Baylor, should not have rushed to the forefront at this moment. However, his figure, together with the Manchurian children under his command, always rushed to the front, which made Ao Bai in the rear very pleased. Ao Bai is not old, only in his forties, this age is in the prime of life among Han generals, but in Manchu generals, he is considered old. Most of the Manchurian generals who fought with him with Taizong and Dolgon passed away, and some died before they were even thirty. As a result, Manchu became disadvantaged and had to employ a large number of young people, but the performance of these young people was so unbearable that they could not be compared with their fathers and ancestors.

In the eight years since Shunzhi, all the wars against the Ming army have proved that the new generation of Manchu lacks handsome materials and generals, so that they have to rely on the Han army. Ao Bai and the old man in the banner sighed several times, if there are no heroes in the young generation of Manchuria, I really don't know who to defend the Qing Dynasty in the future. What makes them even more distressing and puzzled is why the life span of Manchurian children in Guannai is so short. Men are short, women are even shorter, and there is an aunt and grandmother who is over forty years old in Qili, which is a great event.

God is really unfair, why is my life span in Manchukuo so short, is this the price? The price of coming to the Central Plains with a small clan?

Ao Bai sighed more than once, worried about Manchu and the Qing Dynasty. But in any case, the flowers and rivers of the Han people are always full of people, and it is impossible for them to return to the cold water of Baishan to suffer that hardship, they want their children and grandchildren, and occupy the rivers and mountains of the Han people from generation to generation and enslave them. And all this requires the emergence of a young generation of heroes in Manzhou, and young people are the future and the guarantee of Manchuria's generations. Now, there is finally a brave young clan that can give Ao Bai a little comfort.

After the war, he could be promoted to Dorobelle to his master.

Ao Bai thought so, and now he is thinking about whether to send someone to Yangzhou to report the victory, because he has won this big battle.

........

Ao Bai felt that he had won, but the Taipings, who were still holding on, thought that they were going to achieve the final victory in the battle. Because their killer weapon has not yet been used.

Finally, when the footsteps of a Han army had just crossed the short stake at a distance of fifty meters, Zhu Qinglai shouted in the loudest voice possible in his life: "Ignition!" ”

When the gunners squatting in the pit heard the order, they immediately lit the fuse of the medicine bag exposed outside the barrel with the burning incense stick in their hands, and after counting five times silently, they lit the fuse at the bottom of the barrel. With a "whoosh", the arquebus soaked in oil and then dried and twisted into a white light immediately flashed white, and then quickly burned to the bottom of the barrel. At the moment when the fire sank into the bottom of the barrel, the gunners in the pit covered their ears and opened their mouths.

With a "boom", the gunners saw the medicine bag stuffed in the barrel and tied to the wooden board launch from the barrel with a "whoosh" sound, cut an arc in mid-air, and then fell towards the dense crowd of Qing troops in front.

The Qing heard an explosion from ahead, but instead of seeing the cannon fall, they saw a wooden plank tied to something like a quilt falling from above their heads. It was like a big kite with a broken string.

The Qing army had never seen this thing before, and they looked up curiously, but no one realized that death was coming. It wasn't until a Mongol soldier noticed that it seemed to be smoking that he realized it was dangerous. He jumped to his feet and shouted, but it was too late.

The burning medicine pack exploded when it was still more than three meters above the ground, and the huge explosion sounded the ears of the Qing soldiers below. (To be continued.) )
