When Yue Jingsheng said about the shield, Li Xing remembered that in Ningyuan City, there was a shield in Jiannu's military camp, "Quick, take out the shield in the military camp." ”

Li Xing's personal soldiers immediately left the city and rushed into the city.

There were also more than 1,000 soldiers in the city who were resting in shifts, and they received Li Xing's order to immediately open the armory and send the more than 300 shields left by Jiannu in the city to the city.

The gunners at the head of the city were given their shields, and their hearts were somewhat settled, and they held their shields to defend against arrows from the air.

With walls in front and shields overhead, the gunners were mostly safe.

Although Li Xing solved the defensive problem of the gunners, the gunners were unable to attack, and their flintlock pistols could not penetrate Jiannu's shield.

Jiannu was sixty paces below the city, within range of the flintlock pistol, beside the gunners' couches, but the gunners had nothing to do.

Li Xing was in a hurry.

However, under the blow of the flintlock pistol, Jiannu could not take a step further, and Yue Jingsheng found that Jiannu was hiding behind his shield and blindly shooting at the city.

Li Xing poked his head out of the battlement slightly, and he saw more than a dozen monsters wrapped in shields under the city.

Now in equilibrium, the Ming army's flintlock pistols posed no threat to Jiannu, as long as they did not leave the protection of the shield; Jiannu's bows and arrows were no real threat to the Ming army at the head of the city, as long as the soldiers did not leave the protective circle of the walls and shields.

The arrows, violently piercing the air, fell slowly from the sky, and fell upside down on the shield; The bullets of the flintlock pistol also hit the shield under the city weakly.

But Jiannu relied on the cover of the shield, and under the nose of the Ming army, he could launch an attack on the city at any time.

The sky gradually darkened, and Li Xing could not see that the soldiers of Sukhbaru were taking turns shooting arrows, and the soldiers who did not shoot arrows took advantage of the gap between rest to eat beef and mutton and drink mare's milk wine.

At about a watch, the ineffective firing on both sides gradually thinned out.

Nearly two o'clock, a soldier at the head of the city suddenly noticed that Jiannu's shield seemed to be moving, he rubbed his eyes, yes, Jiannu's huge shield array was indeed moving forward.

"It's not good, Jiannu is going to attack the city."

The soldier's shouting alarmed all the soldiers in the city, and Li Xing, who had just taken a nap in the city, was also awakened.

Li Xing was eager to move the stones quickly and crush these Jiannu into meatloaf. But no one can throw a big stone so far.

The shield array of Jiannu was getting closer and closer to the city walls.

If Jiannu kills the head of the city, with the hand-to-hand combat ability of the first brigade, it is not Jiannu's opponent at all. The new army of the Ming Dynasty paid attention to firearms and did not have special training in hand-to-hand combat ability.

Staff officer Yue Jingsheng didn't care about resting, and came to the city again to fight side by side with Li Xing.

Jiannu really came to the city, and the ladder had already set up the city wall. Several gunmen picked up their forks and tried to push them to the ladder.

The body of the gunner left the shield and the protection of the ramparts.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

The arrows caught the strong wind and instantly shot them into hedgehogs.

Several Jiannu soldiers, with shields wrapped in raw cowhide on their heads, began to climb up the ladder towards the city.

Li Xing grabbed the flintlock pistol in the soldier's hand and was about to shoot it himself.

"Brigade seat," Yue Jingsheng pulled Li Xing back behind the city wall, "We still have grenades." He shook a bunch of grenades tied together with twenty pieces in front of Li Xing.

"Grenade?" Li Xing patted his head, why did he forget the grenade when he was in a hurry? He grabbed the grenade, quickly pulled out the lead, held it in his hand for a moment, and threw it down the ladder.

"Boom...... Long ......"

The sound of the whole day blew up the Jiannu and the shield on the ladder, and the ladder was also blown in two.

The gunners did not let go of this short opportunity, and all the Jiannu under this shield lost their movement.

Li Xing looked at Yue Jingsheng: "There is still a way for the staff officers." ”

Yue Jingsheng smiled: "Your Majesty still has a way, if there is no grenade, it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." He turned around and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Make a few more of these bombs." ”

"Brigade, there is another Jiannu's shield array close to the city wall." The observer pointed to the Jiannu at the front.

A strong soldier picked up a bundle of grenades, pulled out the lead, and threw it towards Jiannu's shield array.

"Boom...... Long ......"

There was another loud bang, and the sky-high flames completely submerged the entire Jiannu's shield array.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The gunmen only focused on firing into the fire.

The explosion and vibration of gunpowder, the sideways flight of shrapnel, the burns and suffocation of high temperatures, the replenishment of flintlock pistols......

Another Jiannu's shield array was completely reimbursed.

The Jiannu in the back was too far away from the city wall for the soldiers to throw the grenade bundle over, and some soldiers, grabbing a grenade, pulled out the fuse, and threw the grenade at the Jiannu.

These grenades were followed by bullets from dense flintlock pistols.

Once Jiannu's shield array was loosened, it would be mercilessly fired by flintlock pistols, and even if the shield bearer was not injured or panicked, he was half frightened to death under the double blow of grenades and flintlock pistols.

Sukhbaru looked at the rising fire in front of him, and for the first time he felt fear: "Who can tell me what happened?" What exactly did the Ming army use? ”

No one can answer.

The night wind on the battlefield quickly blew his voice away, and the explosions on the battlefield quickly annihilated his voice.

Daming doesn't know about Jiannu, and Jiannu also doesn't know about Daming, and doesn't know about Daming's latest firearms.

As long as the heroic Jurchen soldiers take a step forward and climb the head of Ning Yuan's city, Hu Li doesn't believe that those Ming Dynasty tofu army, in front of the scimitars of the Jurchen soldiers, will only be defeated and flee, then Ning Yuan will return to the embrace of Dajin Kingdom, but now......

"Ezhen, withdraw the troops! More than half of the soldiers have already been killed. "I'm not so unwilling, but I can't help but say it.

"More than half of the casualties?" Sukhbaru grabbed him by the collar and wanted to swallow him like cooked beef, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

With his eyes drooping, he looked desperately at his riding boots, allowing Sukhbaru to wrestle on his collar.

"More than half of the casualties?" Sukhbaru muttered, "No, how do you ask me to explain to the banner master?" No, I must take Ning Yuan back and avenge my lost brother. ”

"Ezhen, even if you want to take Ning Yuan, you have to wait until tomorrow. Now the battlefield is full of our wounded soldiers, they need medical treatment, they need to rest. Immortal God bless, they are bleeding, and if they are not treated in time, their blood will dry up and their bodies will slowly stiffen. He didn't gently break off Sukhbaru's right hand that grabbed his collar.

As Sukhbaru let go of his right hand, his body seemed to fall apart, and he looked blankly at the dark battlefield.

Nothing could be seen, and the Ming army had stopped throwing grenades at the city.

But Sukhbaru could hear the wails and moans of the wounded soldiers everywhere.

"Ezhen, while it's dark, we just happened to bring back our injured brothers, how is it dawn - these brothers may not wait for dawn." The heart, like the wounded soldiers, was dripping blood incessantly. In just half a day, more than half of his soldiers were killed or wounded, which would never have happened before.

He directly filtered the Han army Niu Lu, which had been completely destroyed, if you added the Han army Niu Lu, his soldiers, the casualties were close to sixty percent, if it was placed in the Ming army, such a big casualty, I am afraid that the whole army would lose its combat effectiveness.

Sukhbaru hid behind his shield, pacing around with his hands behind his back, constantly shaking his fat body.

"Ezhen, give the order! The wounded soldiers couldn't wait long. "Uri didn't know that Sukhbaru was ready to retreat, he just needed a reason.

Sukhbaru's distracted eyes looked at him.

He didn't nod his head: "Ezhen, we didn't fail, we just let the wounded soldiers get timely treatment and get the rest they want most, if the wounded soldiers are not sent back to the big tent in time, they will either freeze to death or die of blood - tomorrow after dawn, we will launch the next round of attacks." ”

Sukhbaru's cloudy eyes lit up suddenly: "We will attack again tomorrow, and we must take back Ningyuan, which belongs to us." He beckoned to the herald: "Secretly give the order, we will slowly retreat, and take all the wounded soldiers with us." ”

"Ezhen, what about the brothers who are dead?" Which pot is not opened by the pro-soldiers, which pot is mentioned.

"Bastard, take the wounded soldiers back for treatment first, Ning Yuan will be ours sooner or later, and the corpse will not run away." Sukhbaru was so angry that he kicked his own soldier hard, and then slowly retreated with his shield under the persuasion of Libu.

There were too many wounded soldiers on the ground, and the soldiers could not carry them back one by one, so they did not give an order, but picked the lightly wounded ones first, and supported them to retreat to the big tent.

"Brigade seat, Jiannu has retreated." The observers discovered Jiannu's movements.

"Retreat?" Li Xing looked down from the battlement, but it was dark outside, and he couldn't see anything, "They can't pretend to retreat, right?" ”

"This ...... The subordinates don't know, but they are retreating. ”

Other observations prove that Jiannu was retreating.

"Since Jiannu retreated, then they must pass through the coverage of the artillery, heralds, and let the gunners get ready." Li Xing was also very aggrieved, and he almost let Jiannu climb to the top of the city today.

The gunners quickly returned to their positions.

"Brigade seat, Jiannu has entered the range of artillery."

"Okay, fire."

"Brigade, we can't see anything clearly!" The moon had not yet risen, and it was pitch black under the city, and the gunners could not see Jiannu, and of course they could not aim.

"First follow the nearest range, and then adjust the muzzle of the cannon according to the instructions of the firelight, and fire the cannon into the distance step by step, but it can't hit Jiannu, and it scares them to the ground." Li Xing cursed, only artillery could relieve his anger.

"Boom...... Long ......"

Eight cannons, all of which bombarded the shadowy places below the city.

Jiannu had been frightened by the firearms of the Ming army, except for the area where Sukhbaru and Huli were not located, the other Jiannu had already spread out their shield arrays and ran back.

Catch up with the wounded soldiers who are lucky, and only then will they carry back when they are on the route back.
