In an instant, the drums and flags from the headquarters of the Gangfeng and Broken Barracks changed, and the soldiers who had just been lying behind the dirt bags or in the shallow trenches to avoid the shells got up one after another, but they still did not fully stand, but changed to a squatting position, clutching the weapons in their hands tightly, or calmly or in horror waiting for the next military order. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info?Come on,.!

At the same time, the battlefield ambulance team composed of the auxiliary soldiers of the medical department also rushed from the center of the camp with a pair of stretchers to carry the wounded and killed soldiers back to the camp.

Although a series of defensive measures were taken to reduce the lethality of the shells, the soldiers of Huguang Town still paid the price of more than 100 casualties in the continuous shelling of the Qing army. Among them, almost half of the dead were killed, and most of the people who did not die were seriously wounded, their flesh and blood were blurred, lying in place and struggling and wailing helplessly, which made the onlookers worry and had a great impact on the morale of the entire army.

And at this time, the role of the battlefield ambulance team is reflected. The wounded were quickly carried to the rear for treatment, so that their officers and men could also let go of the burden in their hearts and not have to worry about lying in place and waiting for death after being injured. In addition, with the bloody corpses and wounded being carried away, the panic in the hearts of the officers and soldiers, especially the recruits, because of the tragic situation in their robes, can also be greatly reduced. Just as Pang Yue said to Lang Zhong and the medical auxiliaries when he inspected the medical department, their role on the battlefield is mainly twofold, saving lives and stabilizing the morale of the army.

Soon after the dead and wounded soldiers were carried away, rumbling footsteps gradually came from behind the foot of the hill on the east and west sides, and it became clearer and clearer, apparently a large number of green battalion soldiers who had crossed the cotton stream were trotting towards this side.

When the first red tasseled hat appeared at the foot of the mountain, the drums and flags of Gangfeng and the Broken Barracks headquarters changed again.

"Wow!" The soldiers who maintained a squatting posture stood up violently, and their movements were uniform, just like one person, and this kind of military appearance was also the effect that could only be achieved by countless training sessions in the past.

Immediately after that, there was a sound of neat and powerful running, and the officers and men of the two battalions ended their evacuation formations and rushed to their original positions according to their respective formations. Now that the Green Battalion has touched it, the possibility of artillery bombardment by the Qing army has been reduced to a minimum. Don't worry too much about the threat of shells.

"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!" …… Near the second line of defense, with the sonorous sound of the collision of iron blades, more than 4,000 soldiers of the trapped camp also ran out from behind the earthen wall that had been hidden just now. Reline in front of the earthen wall. Be ready to step forward at any time to support Gangfeng and break the barracks. In today's trapped camp, half of the officers and soldiers in iron armor have been hired, and the military appearance is more majestic and orderly.

……

At the northern foot of the hill on the west side, Zhang Yingxiang, the commander-in-chief of Henan, had completely recovered from the grievances of being pressed and beaten by the Ming army. Instead, there was excitement on his face. Unexpectedly, the crossing of the river was so smooth this time, and it was not blocked by the Ming army. Think about it, under the continuous bombardment of Hongyi artillery, the Ming army has long been unable to hide, where is there still the strength to come forward to block?

That being the case. Then there will be no suspense about the victory of this battle! Zhang Yingxiang's heart was full of confidence, he had already estimated before setting off just now, after crossing the river, he would cross the foot of the mountain, and the distance between the low walls of the Ming army would not be more than a hundred steps, and he could reach it in an instant with all his charge. Moreover, the earthen walls of the Ming army, which were less than one person high, were really in his eyes, and the five thousand elite Henan Green Battalion under his command didn't even know how many Gaocheng Dayi had captured. Those mounds probably don't even have much of a stumbling effect.

Soon. In the middle of the army, Duoduo gave the order to attack the first wave of Green Battalion soldiers through the flag.

"Sons, killing the enemy to serve the country and making contributions is today!" Zhang Yingxiang drew his saber and gave the order to attack with an excited face, "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, attack!" ――”

"Kill! -- "The sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami-like response followed, and thousands of Henan Green Battalion soldiers crossed the foot of the mountain like a tide and launched an all-out sprint towards the first line of defense of the Ming army. Subsequently. According to Duoduo's instructions, the Han army's Zhenghongqi Meilezhangjing Taktu, which led the Ba Yala and Aliha Chaoha battalions of the Benqi Banner, followed by the Henan Green Battalion, also sent hundreds of soldiers and sergeants to turn around the foot of the mountain. Take on the function of overseering the warband. Of course, most of the manpower will remain on the north side of the hill for the time being. After all, the life of the banner man is much more valuable than that of the green battalion soldiers, let alone the armored soldiers.

At the foot of the mountain to the east, the earth-shattering shouts sounded almost at the same time, and under the dense green flag, the black and oppressive Xiangyang and Hanyang green battalions also turned around the foot of the mountain and launched an attack on the Ming army's defense line.

Looking down from a high place, I saw two torrents of black pressure rushing out from the foot of the mountain on both sides, and then merged into a more powerful surging wave, with Mount Tai pressing the top, indomitable, towards the Ming army's seemingly thin defense line a hundred steps away, almost in the next moment can rush through this thin defense line.

……

"Tiger squat cannon, ready!" Amid the officer's hoarse command, the fire battalion tiger squatting gunner behind the breastwork had already loaded the arquebus and prepared for the launch.

The speed of the Qing army's charge was very fast, and the Furlong cannon did not have time to reload, so the main force of this fire naturally became a light and easy-to-reload tiger squat cannon. This small artillery is also loaded with shotguns, although it is not as good as the Fulong cannon and the Hongyi cannon in terms of range, but the lethality within 100 paces should not be underestimated, especially when the Qing army is charging intensively.

"Fire!" The officer of the Agni Battalion heavily lowered the command flag in his hand and shouted loudly.

A series of loud noises rose from the ground, and twenty-five passages and forty tiger squat cannons behind the gap opened fire in unison, and dense shotguns erupted, sweeping out flesh alleys in the surging crowd of green battalion soldiers.

The Green Battalion soldiers who were right in front of the passage or gap were beaten into flying crumbs of flesh before they could figure out what was going on, and many of the green flags that were waving in the wind were reduced to rags and pieces of wood in an instant. For a while, all kinds of debris flew in the sky together, and the momentum of the green battalion soldiers was almost paused.

Seeing the soldiers under their command being beaten to the ground, Zhang Yingxiang and Wang Guangen were itching with hatred, they didn't expect the Ming army to load the artillery so quickly and catch themselves off guard. But fortunately, the distance ahead is not far away, as long as you work harder, you can rush to the low wall of the Ming army, so that the Ming army's firearms are useless. Thinking of this, both of them gritted their teeth and ordered the impact to accelerate. Suddenly, the drumbeat in the green battalion formation became more urgent, and some archers on the side had already taken out their bows and arrows, preparing to suppress the Ming army.

Behind the breastwork, the loud commands of the Flame Battalion officers continued.

"Prepare, firecracker!"

The first row of musketeers with flintlock pistols stood behind the breastwork, raising their flintlock pistols and aiming them at the influx of green battalion soldiers.

"Put!"

A long puff of white smoke rose from behind the long breastwork, and after a fried bean-like explosion, the charging Green Battalion was knocked down in a large area.

The second-row gunners in front and behind the chest replaced the first row and continued to aim and shoot. After another round of volleys, the charging formation of the Green Battalion was dented again, and blood flowers bloomed wantonly.

…..

Although the artillery, flintlock pistols, and bird guns in Huguang Town caused a lot of casualties to the Qing army, there were more than 10,000 Qing soldiers who swarmed in, and after the third round of shooting by the musketeers, they finally touched the half-human-high low wall more than 20 steps in front of the breastwork.

Although this low wall is not high, it has also caused a lot of trouble for the Qing army, at least it can no longer charge without obstacles as it did on flat ground before. In particular, the Qing soldiers in the front row were the most unlucky, they saw this obstacle and slowed down, and were about to climb over the wall, but the people behind did not know it, and they were still rushing forward at the previous speed, and as a result, they slammed into the low wall and screamed, or pushed them directly over the low wall.

Some Qing soldiers who reacted quickly saw the people behind them rushing like a tide, and knew that they couldn't hide, so they scolded and simply turned over themselves.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yingxiang and Wang Guangen both had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and chaos began to appear before they had formal contact with the Ming army, which was really dangerous. But before they could react, something ominous happened, and there were bursts of terrible screams from the front team of the Qing army.

I saw that the Qing soldiers who had climbed over the low wall either actively or passively just now all fell into the trench behind the low wall without exception. These trenches were densely packed with sharp wooden sticks, covered with elaborate floating earth, and covered by low walls, so that almost no Qing soldiers noticed. It wasn't until they climbed over the low wall and landed on the ground that these pigtailed soldiers tasted the power, fell into the trench and had a close contact with the sharp wooden sticks, even if they were not stabbed to death on the spot, most of them lost their mobility, at least they could not climb out of the trench by their own strength, but they just stayed in place and wailed loudly for help.

In the long trenches, you can see everywhere the Qing soldiers who were pierced by wooden sticks and stuck in place and unable to move, and even some Qing soldiers who were blinded by wooden thorns but were lucky enough to not die like headless flies, screaming and stretching out their hands to scratch around, hoping to catch the life-saving straw that belonged to him.

* these dogs are so vicious! Seeing that their soldiers were hit, Zhang Yingxiang and Wang Guangen were shocked and angry, and almost scolded in their hearts at the same time, and immediately ordered to adjust the speed of the rear team.

However, the loss of the green battalion soldiers did not affect the shooting of the Ming army behind the low wall, and even the formation that began to be chaotic increased the lethality of the Ming army's firearms.

"Bang! Bang! ......" When the Green Battalion soldiers were transferred into the pit like dumplings, another round of shooting began by the firecrackers of the Gangfeng Battalion and the Broken Barracks. The Green Battalion soldiers, who had already rushed to the low wall or fallen into the trench and struggled to climb out, were killed.

……

On the high platform of the Qing army two miles away, Duoduo saw the situation on the front through the clairvoyant mirror and did not speak for a long time. Originally, in his impression, Zhang Yingxiang's department and Wang Guangen's department could be regarded as the elite of the green battalion, and he didn't know how many Ming troops he had swept through. However, this time it suffered heavy losses under the fire of the Ming army, and it has not yet touched the Ming army. The low wall, which was only half a man high, seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle, reaping the lives of the Green Battalion soldiers little by little.

What a vicious arrangement! What a scheming Pang Yue! Duoduo narrowed his eyes slightly, and said silently with a solemn expression, while wondering in his heart if he should think of something else... )
