Since the plan to lure the enemy failed, the Tiger Squat Cannon had no choice but to continue to perform its duties as an infantry weapon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Azig's original idea was to cover the area where the Tiger Squat cannons were erected with artillery, and even required the artillery team to continuously suppress it so that it could not shoot effectively, so as to buy time for the charging cavalry.

As a result, the tiger squat artillery of the Ming army did not retreat but advanced, and was directly set up to the forward position, which was simply crushing IQ..........

The tiger squat cannon is only more than 30 catties, and it is much more convenient to transfer it than your Hongyi cannon weighing several tons, and the Ming army has the advantage of trenches, and the cat is in the trenches, how useful is your artillery?

As for bombarding the forward positions, unless the Qing army does not want to send cavalry to take these positions, the coordination of infantry and artillery, with the level of the current army and the accuracy of the landing point of the shells, it is really impossible to do it.

The Hongyi artillery on the Qing army's side has not yet been erected, and the tiger squat cannon has already been laid in place in the forward position.

The final result speaks for itself, this time the cavalry was still four hundred meters away from the front of the Ming army, and was beaten by a burst of artillery fire.

Even the infantry at the front had to retreat about 500 meters before they could stabilize the line.

After all, the Tiger Squat Cannon can move forward, and the ghost knows if those Hongyi cannons and Furlong machine guns will also be pushed into the "horse pit"?

After charging twice in a row, Azig could only accept the fact that this strange "horse trap" was not something that the Qing army could break through at present.

Since you can't break through from the front, you can choose to attack from the flanks, at least attack the flanks, and don't have to face the weird "trap".

Subsequently, the Qing army concentrated artillery and bombarded the right flank of the Ming army, and then sent cavalry to charge in an attempt to break through from the right flank.

The infantry of the Qing army was not idle, and sent a large number of archers to climb the mountain from the left flank, relying on the jungle trees as cover, and shooting at Zhang Chao's second division.

Li Hongfei had long been guarding against the opponent's hand, and although Guo Sheng's first division had transferred artillery, it still had about 7,500 firearms soldiers, plus more than 10,000 infantry troops, which were condescending, and they were also on par with the cavalry of the Qing army.

Not to mention the left flank, Azig was worried that the Manchu soldiers would lose too much, so he handed over the task of attacking the mountain to the Han army Zhenghongqi, and in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets on the mountain, the Han army only cared about grinding foreign workers, where was willing to charge desperately.

The battle lasted from the beginning of the morning (9 o'clock in the morning) until after the first hour (after 19 o'clock) when the sky became dark, and the Qing army was never able to move forward.

.................

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking at night, both sides lit fires around the camp and lit up the entire Yuhuatai area.

Although the two armies were extremely close to each other, it was not suitable to use the previous guerrilla warfare harassment tactics (Li Hongfei's troops were all in battle and needed to rest well), it was still necessary to scout and kill to prevent the enemy from spying on the military situation.

So the scouts on both sides of the camp coincidentally went out of the camp for four or five miles, and sometimes the scouts on both sides bumped into each other, and they didn't say hello, and drew their knives directly.

Therefore, although it was late at night and the main forces of the two armies did not continue to fight, the hills of various sizes and sizes located in the middle of the two armies were staged all the time, and it was not peaceful at all.

Those heroes who came from all over the country to help defend Nanjing finally have a place to use at this moment, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are much stronger than the scouts of the Qing army, so in the contest between the scouts, the Ming army once again has the upper hand.

Yin Shi (3 o'clock ~ 5 o'clock in the morning) is the most sleepy time of the day, at this time, in the depths of the Qing army camp, on the mountain where a certain unit of the Han army was stationed, more than 50 people in black jumped out one after another in a pile of weeds that no one paid attention to.

"Team Liu, we are lucky this time, the artillery team of the Qing army is less than three miles away from here, if the speed is fast, it can be done in an hour." A man in black said with a smile.

"That's it, the Qing army probably wants to break their heads, but they don't know that we have already entered the depths of their camp." The other chimed in.

"Okay, hurry up and finish the work, maybe you can take a hot shower when you go back, and make up for your sleep, I've been in this ghost place all day, and I'm sick to death." Captain Liu Jinyi also felt that this mission was very easy, and he did not refute the words of the team members.

Now that this is the most critical juncture of the battle between the two armies, and checkpoints have been set up on the roads to and fro, how did these special combat soldiers enter the depths of the Qing army's camp?

It turned out that this was one of Li Hongfei's strategies, and before the start of the war, Li Hongfei expected that it would be difficult for the Qing army to advance before there was no way to break the trenches.

Therefore, let the special combat team members lie in ambush in advance, and the other party may camp in the place.

When fighting during the day, the Qing army's mind was all on the front-line battlefield, how could they have time to care about the scouts on the mountains in the rear, and when they set up camp, they sent troops to take a glance and it was over.

The special combat team lurked here, and even sneaked out to observe the location of the Qing army's artillery team.

Perhaps God really began to favor Nanming, the Qing army not only set up the artillery camp less than three miles away from the lurking position of the special combat personnel, but also surrounded by only one town (about 12,500~~12,600 people) of the Han army guards, compared to the 200,000 army, it is too easy to sneak in.

This belongs to the inside of the camp of the Qing army, and the Qing army could never have imagined that the scouts of the Ming army could break through here, so the soldiers on patrol duty are basically making a show, hurry up and walk around, and then go back to sleep, after all, they have to continue to fight tomorrow, and the firearms of the Ming army are so fierce, how to dodge the shells if they don't nourish their spirits?

The negligence of the Qing army opened the door for the special combat team members to be very convenient, and soon, everyone carried explosive bags on their backs, easily bypassed the patrol members, and infiltrated the Qing army's artillery camp.

"With so many artillery, we just have such a few people, can we blow it up?" A member of the team whispered.

In his opinion, four hundred cannons, fifty explosives packets, it is simply impossible to blow them all up.

This is also the main reason why the Qing army was not so strict with the artillery defense, the artillery structure in the early Qing Dynasty was relatively simple, and it was all real steel, far less sophisticated than that of later generations.

You use an explosives package to blow up a pile of steel, an explosives bag blows up an artillery piece to the sky, and there are Qing troops all around, once the explosives package is detonated, the Qing army will soon be able to react, and it will be good to be able to escape when the time comes, how can there be time to slowly clear these artillery pieces one by one.

"Blow up their powder magazine." Liu Jinyi thought about it and finally decided.

Originally, Li Hongfei's idea was to detonate the gunpowder magazine of the Qing army, so as to blow up the opponent's artillery.

However, the Qing army was not stupid, in order to prevent martyrdom, the Qing army directly placed the gunpowder and artillery separately, and these gunpowder were also divided into more than ten warehouses to pile up, although the distance is not too far, but with the 50 people of the special combat team, it is definitely unrealistic to move all the gunpowder over.

Now there are only two options, either detonate fifty guns at the same time and quickly evacuate, or ignore the guns and just blow up the opponent's powder magazine.

The casting of artillery not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also takes a long time, that is, for every one that is blown up, the Qing army will lose one artillery piece in the next month or two.

And if they chose to blow up the gunpowder, the Qing army would be able to use the waterway ships to replenish it again in two or three days at most, which was equivalent to not much loss.

"It's good to have a few more days. I don't know if the grenade can blow up the artillery, and even if it doesn't work, it shouldn't be difficult to blow up the gun mount. Thinking of this, Liu Jinyi ordered the team members to keep all the grenades.

The team dispersed in groups of two to find the nearby tent where gunpowder was stored.

Liu Jinyi also began to use his hands and feet on the artillery, he first pressed two hundred grenades separately on the base of a cannon, leaked the lead, and wrapped it with a thin rope to make a trip mine, or a trick mine.

By the time the team members returned after searching for the powder magazine, Liu Jinyi's side was almost finished.

The fifty team members who went out found a total of thirteen powder magazines, and left the team members inside, just waiting for Liu Jinyi's order, these left-behind personnel will pull the explosive pack, and then disperse and escape from the barracks, and go to the designated place to meet.

"There are also thirty-eight explosives packs, each of you chooses a gun without a grenade, wait for my signal, and then sound it together." Liu Jinyi commanded again.

He was not used to carrying it on his back to deal with the things of the Qing army, so he carried it back again, and he blew up more than 30 more artillery pieces, no matter how it was calculated, it was all earned.

After a while, all the explosives bags were placed in place, and Liu Jinyi pulled out the signal flare on his waist, lit it and launched it into the sky.

For the signal flare this kind of thing, the Qing army is palpitating, before in Yangzhou, a signal flare lifted into the air, Bolo's 50,000 troops were beaten to the point of losing their armor, Bolo himself died on the battlefield in that battle.

Later, Duoduo reorganized the defeated army under Bolo, replenished it to 100,000 troops, and handed it over to Azig for command, thinking that the battle of Yangzhou was done by the Qi army, and the Qi army is now trapped in Jiangbei, these Qing soldiers who have been beaten out of the psychological shadow are finally relieved.

According to several Qing soldiers who fled back from Fengtai Mountain, the enemy's signal flare came out, followed by the sound of 10,000 cannons, and the ground shook the mountain, and then the signal flare came out again, and the sound of shouting and killing came from all sides, which made people have their hearts and galls.

Although the signal flare is not lethal, these Qing troops have already experienced the strength of the Ming army's night battle, and what is the best command signal for night battle, it is this ordinary signal flare.

However, tonight, in the rear camp of the Qing army, signal flares appeared again, could it be that the Ming army was going to fight at night again?
