readx; It has to be said that both Trembulu and Aibali have made the mistake of empiricism. www.biquge.info They thought that the firearms of the Ming army could not be used in the rain, yes, the old-fashioned arquebuses and cannons that needed to be loaded from the muzzle could not be watered, so the artillery of the Ming army was indeed useless.

However, the Ming army is now equipped with a large number of flintlock bird guns, which can be fired by building a shed at the head of the city, loading it under the shed, and then handing it out to the bird gunner, instead of using a fire rope to ignite it. Although it was a little troublesome, it still maintained its lethality.

More importantly, the new grenade of the Ming army is a string type, and the gunpowder is all in it, which is not affected by the external environment at all. Now that the Qing army is gathering in large numbers under the city, it is a good opportunity for the grenades to exert their power. Under the command of Meng Gong, who was in command of the city head, hundreds of grenades immediately fell from the sky.

The power of the gunpowder explosion is by no means comparable to that of bows and arrows, not to mention that the Qing soldiers are wearing iron armor, even if they put an iron stove on their bodies, it will not work. In an instant, two or three hundred people were killed and wounded, and with the incessant indiscriminate arrows, at least four hundred people died near the gap in the city wall.

At this time, Aibali and Tunbulu, who only had half a breath left, both knew in their hearts that this sneak attack had completely failed. Then there is only one option left: run!

So Aibali shouted loudly, and the Qing soldiers desperately fled from the city wall, stepped on the war horses parked not far away, and went back to defeat with all their might. Only a few hours ago, they had been supervising the battle behind the Han Army Banner and the Mongol Eight Banners, and brazenly mocking the Han and Mongols for being cowardly as rats, but now it was their turn to flee, and one by one they ran faster than the rabbits.

At this time, there was a lot of gunfire at the head of the city, and it turned out that the Ming army's bird gunners had already been prepared. Each Bird Gun is equipped with four reloaded Bird Guns, and after the first shot, the second, third, and fourth shots are immediately replaced, so that the fire is more dense than during the day. At this time, the Qing army handed over its back to the Ming army, coupled with the panic in the rainy night, how could there be half a point of dodge ability, this continuous four rounds of bird salvos, and killed nearly 200 Qing soldiers.

Fortunately, the rain still had a certain impact on the firearms of the Ming army, at least the loading speed was much slower. In addition, in the rainy night, the five fingers could not be reached, and the Ming army could not aim, but only fired in the general direction, otherwise the casualties of the Qing army would be even heavier.

But this is not over, suddenly Yongding Gate opened again, and the Ming army let out an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound, pouring out like a tide. The Qing army originally hoped to fight in the field with the Ming army, but at this time, it had already become a frightened bird, how dare to fight, so it had to be defeated desperately. In the process of retreating, I don't know how many people turned their backs because the land was slippery, and it was simply embarrassing to the extreme.

But at this moment, Mang Gurtai led all the Qing soldiers under his command, and also rushed up with a shout. Originally, he thought that Tunbulu and Aibali must have succeeded, so he personally led a large army to meet him, but he ran into a defeated army head-on, and it was inevitable that there would be another chaos.

Mang Gurtai finally rerestrained the troops, and at this time, Aibali was carrying the dying Tunbulu, and he also ran over with a pale face and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, the minions are useless, they fell into the tricks of the Ming army, and the sneak attack failed!" And the Ming army didn't know what demon methods they used, and their firearms were more fierce than during the day! ”

Mang Gurtai couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, his current location was less than a mile away from Yongding Gate, and was within the range of artillery. Thinking of the terrifying scene of the Qing army being bombarded by the Ming army's artillery during the day, Mang Gurtai's heart palpitated, and he immediately turned his horse back and retreated. As soon as he ran, did the other Qing troops not run, these tens of thousands of troops were so frightened by the Ming army that they returned defeated, and they didn't even dare to fight!

In fact, how did Mang Gurtai know that the artillery of the Ming army really couldn't be fired because of the rain. Because the artillery is too large, it can only be reloaded in the open air, and the fuse must be lit, so it naturally cannot be used in the rain. If he led the army forward with one tendon, maybe he could really create some trouble for the Ming army. It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about firearms and doesn't bother to learn, so he can't avoid the fate of failure.

When he was defeated and returned to the camp, it was already the fourth watch. But because of the rain, it was still dark. Only then did the Qing army take care of counting the casualties, but it was taken aback, only a few dozen of the five hundred Qing soldiers under Tunbulu came back, and the others were naturally all finished. The cavalry of Aybali also suffered more than 600 casualties, and only more than 2,300 remained. Although the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners also suffered heavy casualties during the day, the casualty rate did not reach such a high rate.

The medical level of the Qing army was quite poor, and the wounded soldiers were just bandaged indiscriminately. After these wounded soldiers were drenched in the rain, ten out of ten people had a high fever, and according to previous experience, it would be good to survive half of them.

The sneak attack was defeated and lost, and the love general Tunbulu was almost killed, and Mang Gurtai was depressed and could no longer fight the spiritual siege. The rain outside the tent was pouring down, and the sky was not yet bright, so he had to take off his armor and cover his head and sleep depressedly, wanting to wait until tomorrow to make a plan.

The other Qing soldiers were also sleepy, except for a very few sentries on duty at night, they all hurried into the tent and hurried to sleep. The rainy night was wet and cold, and they shivered from the cold, but the extreme fatigue still made them fall asleep quickly, and the snoring was like thunder in a moment.

At this moment, on the field south of the Qing army's camp, a ghost-like army appeared. The force was not very large, only about two hundred men, but no one could see where they came from. In the rainy night when they couldn't see their fingers, and even until they touched twenty steps outside the camp, the Qing army sentries were still unaware.

The 200 men lay quietly on the muddy ground, letting the rain wet their bodies, but they remained motionless, like stubborn rocks embedded in the earth. After a long time, a small colonel who was lying at the front whispered to his general: "General Xie, the rain is much lighter, you can act!" ”

The general also looked up at the sky, and by the faint light he could see that his expression was calm, but the glint in his eyes was full of vitality, and his temples were already gray. It's none other than the leaders of the Fifth Military Battalion of the Beijing Division and the Shenji Battalion!

Xie Sheng nodded slightly, and suddenly stood up, and the two hundred Ming troops also got up together, each with a bow in hand. He took out a torch from the blanket he was carrying, and quickly lit a torch. In an instant, the heavy night was dispersed by these two hundred torches, and the Qing army sentries immediately discovered it and shouted in horror: "The Han people are attacking the camp~~~"

Before the shouts fell, 200 sharp arrows tied to torches had already taken off into the air and flew straight towards the Qing army camp!
