Wu Sangui was extremely melancholy.

Tianjin Wei is indeed like an empty city, there is no figure above and below the city, facing Wu Sangui's five thousand elite soldiers, it is simply a stripped girl.

But Wu Sangui didn't dare to go up.

With the rise of Yu Guozhen Huixing in the land of China, his relevant battle examples have also been explained in detail by soldiers from all sides, and Wu Sangui is no exception. He found that Yu Guozhen often fought with less, but in fact, Yu Guozhen formed a local advantage in most wars.

This local superiority is not reflected in numbers, but in combat power. Yu Guozhen is very clear about his own advantages, and he has analyzed his enemies very thoroughly, and he has truly "known himself and his opponent", so he is not confused by the numbers on the surface, but can see through the essence of the strength of both sides.

Therefore, Wu Sangui can be sure that while he is studying Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen must have also studied him. Yu Guozhen must have made a plan to judge what kind of countermeasures he should adopt when he pounced on Tianjin Wei in case of the resumption of war.

Then this empty city should also be one of Yu Guozhen's countermeasures.

"Did the fine work in our city come out?" He asked.

"So far, there has been no movement, and people have been sent to shoot arrows at the city, but no one has paid attention."

Wu Sangui took off his helmet, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and scolded in a low voice.

He was not afraid that the Huaxia army of Tianjin Wei was prepared, but he was afraid that the other party would be like this, and he didn't know what the idea of fighting was.

"Send a hundred men to take the gates." After thinking for a while, Wu Sangui ordered.

A hundred horsemen separated from the brigade, and in the midst of shouts and shouts of killing, they rushed towards the gate of the Tianjin Acropolis with trepidation.

Wu Sangui stared at the city in the back, seeing that his subordinates were only 100, 70, or 40 steps away from the city......

No muskets were heard. This not only did not reassure Wu Sangui. It only made him more nervous.

Before the storm, it is always quiet.

But just when his heartstrings were at their tightest, he saw that the hundred horsemen actually entered the city gate like this!

Without any resistance? Nothing in the way?

This unit was sent. After realizing that no one was stopping them, they immediately rushed into the city gates, and then prepared to seize the castle towers and other key positions. Wu Sangui raised his hand. Just as he was about to give the order to march the whole army, he heard a dense burst of gunfire.

At the first moment when the gunshots rang out, Wu Sangui first breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was normal to have an ambush, and then began to worry about his subordinates who rushed into the city.

However, they were instructed in advance to only test and retreat immediately if they met resistance. But at that time, Wu Sangui thought that the attack would come from the city, but he didn't expect that he would be attacked when he arrived in the city.

This team of vanguards. Then there was Fan Che'er's tragic one.

He felt as if he had met his previous assailant again when the shots rang out, and he jumped off his horse at the first moment, then rolled over and crawled to the side.

At the same time. The unresponsive companions around him. One after another, there are also war horses. They also fell to the ground in shock, and a group of people flipped on their backs.

Fan Che'er was horrified to find that although he was lying on the ground, there were no houses or anything else around to cover his body, and his only option was to crawl to a fallen war horse and use the horse's corpse to block the rain of bullets.

"Damn it, Lord, send someone up!" Fan Che'er understood that the hundred or so of them would not be able to hold out for long under this wild attack, and unless they gave up the city gate in their hands, otherwise, in a short period of time, they would not be left behind!

Wu Sangui had Wu Sangui's considerations, since it was confirmed that there was an ambush in the city, the life and death of these hundred people did not matter. He glanced gloomily, then turned back and said, "Artillery preparation." ”

Yu Guozhen used a large number of short guns with light weight and short range for mobile combat, and Dolgon suffered a big loss from this tactic in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, which also made all those who paid attention to the dynamics of the Tiger Guard realize that artillery is not necessarily the pursuit of range and power, and flexibility is also the key. In the past seven years, both Jianlu and Wu Sangui have been trying their best to imitate the light short cannon, and after determining that the range of the musket cast by the Huwei is about one-third to one-half of the distance compared to theirs, it is even more urgent to use the light short cannon to suppress the range advantage of the Huwei.

Although it was a bit reluctant, seven years was enough time for skilled craftsmen to create a light cannon for Jianlu, but the material they used was not iron, but bronze, so the charge was small and the range was short. After Jianyu was created, Wu Sangui also copied it, for them, this kind of artillery is expensive and too copper-consuming.

However, thanks to the blessing of Huaxia gold, silver and copper dollars, because the territory controlled by Jingshi and Jianyu is now also beginning to be popular with Huaxia currency. This allowed Jianyu and Wu Sangui to recycle copper coins and cast cannons on a large scale, without the lack of currency circulation in the market.

Now that it is proved that there is no enemy at the head of the city, and the enemies are all gathered in the city to prepare for street fighting, then Wu Sangui can rest assured and boldly use the bronze cannon. The range of the bronze short cannon was enough to suppress Huwei's musket, and Wu Sangui thought of this to make up for the gap in the range of the musket.

The artillerymen pushed the bronze cannon to a distance of only two hundred paces from the city, and the range of this short cannon could reach four hundred paces, but the accuracy of that distance was impossible to talk about. Then, Wu Sangui ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”

The concentrated firing of artillery has now become common knowledge in the use of artillery. With this round of artillery firing, smoke began to rise from the head of the Tianjin Acropolis, and even flames appeared in some places. This effect made Wu Sangui very satisfied, and he kept saying: "Fire, fire!" ”

After the first round of artillery sounded, Nie Lin gave up the elimination of the few remaining Wu Sangui soldiers in front of the city gate, and he ordered a retreat.

Wu Sangui had an army of nearly 200,000, half of which were Guanning troops, both brought by himself and prisoners released by Jianlu. The combat effectiveness of these armies was superior to that of ordinary officers and soldiers, and Yu Guozhen, out of a plan that had been drawn up a long time ago, did not keep too many troops in Tianjin. Therefore, Nie Lin received an order from Yu Guozhen that after inflicting a certain amount of damage on the enemy, he could abandon Tianjin Wei.

He originally wanted to deal a heavy blow to Wu Sangui in the street battle, and then retreat. But he never thought that Wu Sangui would be so cruel. Bombardment of the city directly with artillery. If this continues, although the killing and wounding of the Huaxia army is limited, the people in the city will suffer.

"Camp is up. This is a bit aggrieved, I just started the operation, and I haven't seen much blood yet. Just retract it. Listening to his order, Ding Sheng nagged unhappily.

"Just talk a lot of nonsense, talk nonsense, and go to Tamna Island to raise pigs!"

"Hey, hey." Ding Sheng smiled, licked his lips, and looked at the enemy position with unfinished eyes.

At this moment, he saw an enemy figure move, and when the battle was fierce, the figure had been lying on its stomach and not moving, looking like a dead corpse. So no one noticed, and now he moved.

"It's playing dead, if he gets out like this. Wouldn't it be a loss of Uncle Ding's face. ”

Ding Sheng thought so in his heart. Pick up the gun and shoot it at the figure who is trying to escape to the door with his hands and feet.

Bang. The figure shook, fell, and fell heavily in front of Fan Che'er, who was also lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Fan Che'er shuddered for a moment, looking at this companion's wide eyes, looking at him unwillingly, he shrunk his neck: "Old De'er, you are too impatient...... Don't worry, your wife, I'll raise her! ”

The companion known as Lao De'er couldn't say anything, and Fan Che'er heard the laughter over there, knowing that he was lucky this time, and he escaped with his life.

It seems that there is still a chance to make meritorious contributions.

He quietly raised his head and glanced in the direction of the Huaxia Army, and at this time, he suddenly realized that the barricades built by the Tiger Guards were two hundred steps away from them.

Two hundred steps! The range of the Huaxia Army has actually reached here, almost the same as artillery, could it be that the Huaxia Army has been equipped with a new type of musket?

Two hundred steps folded into the Xinxiang meter system, a full 240 meters, and the previous effective killing range of the Tiger Guard musket was only about 120 meters. Fan Che'er wanted to understand this, and couldn't help but mutter: "How to fight this battle!" ”

Anyway, the Tiger Guard retreated towards the port. Seeing that no one would kill the horse pistol again, Fan Che'er jumped up and ran out of the city gate, picked up a flag and waved it desperately under the city.

Seeing this scene, Wu Sangui signaled the artillery team to pause, and then ordered: "Send someone to take a look." ”

"Escaped, escaped, Huaxia Army escaped!" There is no need to send someone, Fan Che'er's loud voice has already been heard. Hearing that the Huaxia army had "fled", the troops couldn't help cheering, and Wu Sangui noticed that the generals around him also showed a look of relief.

Over the years, the Chinese army has accumulated too much power, so no one is willing to fight a vicious battle with the Chinese army.

"It's better to be careful, Yu Guozhen is the most cunning, do you know that he won't kill a horse gun?" Wu Sangui couldn't relax, he muttered, and then said: "Send a team into the city, beware of the ambush, don't disperse the artillery team, and then advance fifty steps to the city!" ”

He was so cautious, but he won everyone's nod of yes, and it was all from the heart.

However, it was soon confirmed that the Huaxia army had indeed abandoned the barricades after abandoning the city walls, and they had retreated to the vicinity of the docks, where they were now burning supplies and preparing to board the ships and evacuate.

"You're sure?" Wu Sangui looked at Fan Che'er who was kneeling in front of him, and vaguely remembered this person's name: "Fan Che'er, you are a good general." ”

"The villain saw it with his own eyes, and the general could also see it, the smoke was billowing from the wharf, according to the locals, the materials of the Huaxia army were piled up, tsk, but they were all good goods......

Everyone knows that the military resources of the Huaxia Army are good things, whether it is ordnance or clothing and food, including canned food full of meat and oil. Wu Sangui's subordinates were even more salivating about this, and since the other party had confirmed that they had retreated to the dock, Wu Sangui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chase, don't say anything else, grab more supplies and come down!" He said loudly.

His subordinates immediately cheered, and some people felt that Tianjin Wei was captured in this way, and the Huaxia Army had not fought for three years, and it seemed that its combat effectiveness was also much weaker.

Maybe the general trend of the world, there is still hope for a fight?
