The morning breeze blows cool and bustling on the face. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Belenikan sat on his beloved snowflake skull, riding his horse and walking slowly. Behind him, to the left and right, was a huge array of 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers.

Cavalry was not needed in the siege battle, they were just supervising the battle. These green battalion soldiers have just surrendered, and they will definitely be lazy without the Eight Banners to supervise the formation.

Since there were more than 100,000 soldiers, the life of the Eight Banners masters has been much better, and the green battalion soldiers have rushed to do any dirty work, and even the ordinary clothes in the Eight Banners have been liberated.

The tired Eight Banners soldiers like this kind of siege will naturally not go into battle in person, they only need to urge the green battalion soldiers in the back, and after the city is broken, the Eight Banners will enter the city to enjoy. As for the number of casualties among the Green Battalion soldiers, Nikan will not care, there are people in the Ming Kingdom, and many people are scrambling to surrender.

The weather is a bit gloomy and it may rain, so it is necessary to take the city down as soon as possible. Prince Yu has already urged, as soon as possible to lay down Yangzhou across the Yangtze River, before the British Prince Azig to conquer Nanjing, to enjoy the great achievement of destroying the Ming Dynasty.

The weather in the south was much hotter and humider than in the north, and the Manchurians were very unaccustomed to this climate. Now the weather is still cool, once it enters June, if you can't beat Nanming, you will have to withdraw the army.

Thinking of this, Nikan also became anxious, and hurriedly ordered his subordinate Goshha to urge Liu Liangzuo in front of him, telling him to speed up the march and not care about the casualties of the people.

At this moment, an exclamation sounded, Nikan looked in horror, and saw that in the canal not far away, hundreds of big ships were flying from the opposite bank, and the flags on the ships were unfurled, and each boat was hung with a battle flag of the Ming army, and under the flag were fully armed Ming soldiers.

They're going to attack the Green Battalion in front! Nikan analyzed the intentions of the Ming fleet in an instant. The cavalry under his own command is naturally not a good target for attack. And the green battalion in the middle, although numerous, were all infantry, slow to move, and the ranks were bloated, and they were all busy urging the captured people to attack the city, and they were not ready for battle at all.

"Borzigit, you quickly rush over with two thousand cavalry, block the Ming army with bows and arrows, and prevent them from disembarking!" Nikan hurriedly gave orders to his subordinate deputy commanders.

"Yes!" Borzigit slammed his right fist into his chest and shouted a command.

I hope it's not too late, looking at the Ming fleet in front, Nikan muttered.

There was a distance of more than a mile between the Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, and it was possible that after the 2,000 cavalry arrived, the Ming army had already disembarked and attacked the Green Battalion. And there are countless green battalion soldiers outside, no matter how powerful the Eight Banners cavalry is, they can't enter the battlefield to participate in the battle, unless even the green battalion soldiers are killed.

Nikan's prediction was accurate, and before the two thousand cavalry he sent could start, he heard the sound of cannons, and the green battalion soldiers in front of him were already in confusion.

Ren Xingfan chose to strike at the moment of attack, and a hundred river boats went straight into the flank of the green battalion. Although there were more than 50,000 green battalions under Liu Liangzuo's command, these more than 50,000 people were distributed in the wilderness more than two miles wide, and when the green battalion soldiers near one side of the canal were attacked, the green battalion soldiers on the other side did not know what was happening.

On every river boat of the Daishan Army, an artillery piece was placed. The red-coated cannon river boat naturally couldn't afford it, and the aftershock force of the cannon was enough to shake the hull away, but the 500-pound cannon was no problem at all.

While the river boats were still in the middle of the canal, the guns on the boats had already opened fire. The artillery used by the Daishan Army, if solid lead bullets are placed, can reach a range of up to two miles, and when installing scattered bullets, the range is greatly shortened, only more than half a mile.

Each gun was preloaded with solid shells, and immediately fired at the Green Battalion array in the canal, and immediately after the fire, the gunner cleaned the chamber and reinstalled the gunpowder, this time with scattered shells, and each gun was loaded with hundreds of nails, iron sheets, and small stone shells.

When the Ming ships suddenly came out of the canal, the green battalion soldiers by the river were indeed in a panic. One cannonball after another whizzed across the river and smashed into their array, the hot cannonballs tumbling and smashing onto the ground or the bodies of the Green Battalion, then bouncing and tumbling and continuing forward, flesh and blood flying everywhere and wailing and wailing until the kinetic energy disappeared, and then they stopped honestly.

In fact, the damage caused by the solid cannonball is not very large, unless it is directly hit, and there is no damage to the soldiers next to it. The point is that the momentum of this thing is too huge, the huge sound when it is launched is shocking, and the appearance of the smashed soldier breaking bones and tendons and breaking a puddle of mud is too terrifying. The continuous firing of a hundred guns caused great panic among the Green Battalion soldiers.

The Green Battalion soldiers were all new to the Ming army, and the weapons they used were no different from the clothes they wore before, and most of them did not even have time to shave their hair due to the short period of surrender. Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty surrendered, the people were still the original group of people, or the soldiers with extremely poor combat effectiveness and poor discipline, and the real elite soldiers among the more than 50,000 soldiers were the personal soldiers of each main general, and the total number of these personal soldiers was five or six thousand, and the rest were fish belly with extremely poor equipment and poor combat effectiveness.

When they were suddenly attacked, the personal soldiers of the generals were better, and the fish belly troops immediately fell into chaos, and many of them threw away their weapons and fled.

Seeing the Ming army suddenly come out of the canal, Liu Liangzuo was shocked and hurriedly ordered the deputy general Liu Nan to lead the army to counterattack and prevent the Ming army from going ashore. Liu Nan's 3,000 infantry was not far from the canal, and after receiving the order, he immediately led his men to the canal to kill.

At the same time as dispatching Liu Nannan, Liu Liangzuo immediately ordered his own soldiers to stop the riot, and more than a thousand heavily armed soldiers armed with knives and guns cut down at the soldiers who fled indiscriminately, and cut off dozens of heads in a row to suppress these frightened soldiers. When I looked again, Liunan's 3,000 men had already reached the canal and blocked in front of the Ming army.

Only the infantry could not do it, so Liu Liangzuo hurriedly transferred another 2,000 archers to the river. If you want to attack the Ming army in the river, you have to rely on bows and arrows to shoot from a distance.

However, before the archers could be in place, they heard a loud noise in the river again, and then saw that the 3,000 infantry in southern Liu blocked by the canal were like duckweed beating in the rain, and the whole array was shattered.

This time, the 100 artillery pieces of the Daishan Army were loaded with scattered bullets, and the dense rain of bullets like a rain curtain went towards the Qing soldiers by the river, and few of the 3,000 Qing soldiers were spared.

At a distance of about 100 meters, even if the power of a scattered projectile is much smaller than that of a solid cannonball, if it is shot, it will at least be seriously injured.

With just one blow, at least seven or eight hundred of the three thousand Qing soldiers fell, and most of the rest were wounded, holding the place where the projectile hit on their bodies made a terrible scream.

Relying on the cover of artillery, 3,000 elite soldiers quickly jumped off the warship and viciously killed the green battalion soldiers on the opposite side. (To be continued.) )
