When Dai Shan sensed that something was wrong, it was too late.

The army is concentrated in the valley, the density is too great, if the Ming army is attacked by artillery, the losses must be very heavy, but the scouts have already carried out reconnaissance, and no abnormalities have been found, plus the cool breeze in the valley, not only the soldiers feel comfortable, but even the war horses are a little reluctant to continue walking, that is, in this case, Dai Shan ordered the army to rest in the valley for an hour, and later historians analyzed, it can only be said that Dai Shan was extremely stupid at this time, which is equivalent to self-destruction.

Before Dai Shan's order could be executed, a muffled thunder sounded.

Inside the valley, the echo was very loud, and Dai Shan looked at the blue sky with a pale face, the scorching sun was overhead, and it was impossible to thunder.

With the landing of the cannonballs, in an instant, some soldiers were blown up, including some war horses, were thrown into the air, the huge team instantly began to panic, the war horses were frightened, began to rush left and right, but there were people and war horses around, they couldn't rush at all, such a collision can only lead to more chaos in the team.

One after another shells fell in the middle of the crowd, very accurately, with the sound of explosions, more people were blown into the air, blood splattered, stumps and broken arms fell from the air, causing even greater chaos, at this time, Dai Shan didn't need anyone to remind, he knew very well that the army had entered the ambush circle of the Ming army.

Su Tiancheng, who was holding a telescope, looked at all this, and also regretted it in his heart, knowing that the Dao Daishan would make such a decision, he should have prepared more red-coated cannons and general cannons, which could give the Zhenghongqi Tartar greater damage, and could destroy the will of the Houjin Tartar to the greatest extent.

However, the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Machine Cannon can also play a role, mainly because the Houjin Tartars in the valley are too dense. When the shells fell, they were always able to kill some Houjin Tartars and war horses.

Such an artillery bombardment, as long as it can last for half an hour, can completely destroy the will of the Houjin Tartars.

Dai Shan quickly calmed down, after all, he was experienced in a hundred battles, and he had experienced too many dangers. once led 3,000 soldiers to face tens of thousands of opponents, and it was the same victory.

After the initial frustration and panic passed, the army also began to move, and many soldiers dismounted and pulled the war horse down to the side of the mountain, so as to minimize casualties, but there were also many soldiers who could not get to the side of the mountain. The terrain in the valley restricted them, and more soldiers began to gallop in the direction of the exit, and at this time, the most important task was to leave the valley and go outside, so as to avoid the casualties caused by the artillery.

The toll from this impact was very high. The road ahead was completely blocked by artillery, and the frightened horses were not even willing to charge forward. Some of the horses that rushed to the front were blown away. But the Tartars behind did not stop, they knew very well that they had to rush out of the gang, and they had to rush out of a bloody way, so that there was hope.

Wang Dazhi beside Su Tiancheng. The red flag was raised, which was a signal to the artillery battalion, which specially bombed the war horses and blocked the roads, so that the Houjin Tartars could not rush out of the valley.

This time. All the artillery began to roar, aiming at the war horses, and on the road of the Houjin Tartar charge, a dense artillery network was formed, and with this density, it was impossible for any war horse to break out of the war.

In just a few minutes, on the way ahead, there were already dense corpses of war horses and sergeants, blocking the road, and it was unlikely that they would rush out of the exit.

Dai Shan's face began to turn pale again, he knew very well that if he nested in the valley, the ultimate fate was to be annihilated, in the face of the sharp artillery of the Ming army, the soldiers were brave in every way and had no effect, they could only be bombed before their eyes, at this time, the Ming army had not yet begun to attack, if it was blown up by artillery and lost its combat effectiveness, when the Ming army attacked, it would be time to be destroyed. Of course, Dai Shan also has a judgment, that is, the Jiangning battalion will not arrange a lot of sergeants here, because the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Xuanzhou are only 20,000 in total, maybe at this time, Zilharang has already begun to attack Xuanzhou, and it is impossible for the Jiangning battalion to have too many sergeants here, this is where he chats and masturbates.

At the critical moment, Dai Shan's prancing horse began to charge, the soldiers around him were in a hurry, if Dai Shan was hit by artillery, the dragons were leaderless, this army would be really dangerous, helpless Dai Shan, was stopped by the soldiers, but his subordinates began to charge with the soldiers, they resisted the artillery fire, the corpse of the war horse was removed, in this process, the smart sergeant proposed to cover with the dead war horse, this proposal, was immediately implemented.

In fact, Dai Shan could ask the army to retreat and withdraw from the valley, but he did not do so, at this time, Dai Shan thought that Xuanzhou might encounter a fierce attack by Zilharang, and the Jiangning battalion sergeants stationed in Xuanzhou were insufficient, the purpose was to delay the pace of their own attack and gain time.

Half an hour later, the sergeant paid a heavy price, but the artillery fire began to weaken, the road ahead was finally opened, and Daishan was ready to lead the army out of the valley.

He didn't have time to punish the scouts, because of the mistakes of the scouts' reconnaissance, which led to heavy losses for the army, especially the loss of the war horses was too great, the war horses were huge, and I didn't know how to dodge the cannonballs, often a cannonball fell, and there were always war horses screaming and falling, these war horses, but the hearts and minds of the soldiers, seeing the loss of the war horses, it is conceivable that the hearts of the soldiers will suffer heavy losses.

As the army prepared to rush out of the valley, the rumbling drums sounded.

This kind of drumming, Dai Shan is very familiar, the Ming army attacked, all of them were commanded by the drums, and they led the soldiers to charge, relying on the drums, and the drums were the orders to attack, and the drums did not stop, and the attacks did not stop.

The army that was adjusting hesitated for a moment, and many of the sergeants looked at both sides of the valley, and the attack could not have come from the front and back of the valley, only the two sides of the valley.

When the Ming army appeared all over the mountains, Dai Shan's eyes showed despair.

At this moment, he thought that the Jiangning battalion had given up Xuanzhou, gathered all the sergeants, and came to attack Zhenghongqi, if so, the loss of Zhenghongqi would be extremely heavy, if Su Tiancheng made such a choice, the blow to Zhenghongqi would be devastating, and all his previous judgments had major deviations.

It was too late to regret it, and Dai Shan commanded the soldiers to prepare to fight.

He was greeted with a flintlock pistol.

The sergeants of the Jiangning battalion who rushed over were holding flintlock pistols in their hands, and when the crackling gunshots rang out, there were constantly soldiers screaming and falling, but round after round of arrow rain also flew towards the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion who rushed down from both sides of the valley.

As more soldiers fell, Dai Shan's eyes began to redden, the soldiers who charged in front of him were obviously blocked, and they couldn't rush, and the soldiers behind were still advancing, striving to rush out of the valley, this valley is not long, that is, about six miles, if it is placed in peacetime, not a quarter of an hour, the army can pass quickly, but today it is almost an hour, the army is still compressed in the valley, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger. He finally gave the painful order to retreat and retreat from the valley.

It's a pity that this decision was also made too late.

Li Dingguo rushed to the front.

With a flintlock pistol in his left hand and a steel knife in his right, he stared at him and rushed desperately down the valley, the flintlock pistol in his hand firing bullets that hit several Houjin Tartars.

A round of arrow rain passed, Li Dingguo felt a sharp pain on his left arm, a bow and arrow hit his left arm, the soldiers around him hurriedly wanted to come over to help him, Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and cut off the arrow feathers with a steel knife, and yelled for everyone to continue to charge.

Finally, after firing the bullets in the evening flintlock pistol, Li Dingguo rushed down the valley, he threw away the flintlock pistol in his hand, and rushed towards the Houjin Tartar with a roar.

More soldiers of the Jiangning battalion rushed down, threw away their flintlock pistols, and began to fight with the Houjin Tartars with spears and steel knives.

Su Tiancheng, who was holding a telescope, frowned, his original meaning was to ask the soldiers to use the flintlock pistol as much as possible, I didn't think that these soldiers were still used to fighting face-to-face, but Su Tiancheng did not take into account that in the process of charging, it was impossible for the soldiers to stop and load the bullets, so they could only rely on inertia to rush down and fight face-to-face with the Houjin Tartar.

The brutal fight began.

This is a battle with obvious advantages of the Jiangning battalion soldiers, the Houjin Tartars who were bombarded did not expect a face-to-face fight, coupled with the error of Dai Shan's judgment, he thought that there could not be many Ming army ambushes, as long as the army rushed out of the valley, it would be able to avoid all this and quickly go to Xuanzhou.

Most of the Houjin Tartars dismounted, and immediately fought the extremely brave Zhenghong Banner sergeant, after dismounting, the ability was obviously worse, and the valley was full of corpses of people and horses, thinking about getting on the horse to fight, there was almost no possibility.

The fight began at this moment.

The fighting in the valley relied on personal ability, and in this regard, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion once again had an advantage, including the advantage in numbers and the psychological advantage.

Dai Shan already felt that something was wrong, and the personal soldiers around him protected him, desperately rushing in the direction of the entrance of the valley.

Seeing this situation, He Renlong roared and rushed towards Dai Shan, and Liu Tiehan beside him, with the soldiers of the scout battalion, also rushed towards Dai Shan. (To be continued......)
