In fact, for the Qing army camp that stretched for seven or eight miles, the attack of hundreds of Divine Fire Crows could have little effect, and at most it burned some camp tents.

The problem was that the attack took place in the dead of night, and for most ancient armies, the camp rules were very tight, and the soldiers were under great mental pressure after years of fighting. And the army is the darkest place in the world, the officials wantonly oppress the subordinates, and the veterans bully the recruits at will, so most of the soldiers are in a state of mental tension for a long time, and they are all suppressed by strict military discipline on weekdays, but in the middle of the night, when they suddenly encounter the enemy attacking the camp, the emotions of those ordinary soldiers will often erupt, and this hysterical madness will spread rapidly, and many soldiers will get rid of the shackles of military discipline and take the opportunity to take revenge on their colleagues or superiors who have bullied them, and the whole army will soon fall into chaos.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Eight Banners are all strong troops who fight all year round, and the soldiers who live near the same camp are all brothers of the same banner. When the attack was sudden, the commotion caused by it was quickly quelled under the suppression of the officers such as the chief of staff.

However, there are not only Manchurian Eight Banners in the camp, but also Mongolian flags, Han army flags, and green battalions composed of generals from the Southern Ming Dynasty who have just surrendered.

Especially those green battalion soldiers, who have just been transformed from the Ming army to the Qing soldiers, have not fully adapted to the spirit, the military discipline is poor, the slightest attack, immediately fell into a panic, countless soldiers rushed out of the camp and shouted, wolves rushed to the pigs, encountered people in front of them, regardless of three seven twenty-one to give a knife. Located on the south side of the camp is the camp of the Green Battalion, which happened to be hit by the Flying Fire Crow, and the whole camp was in a panic.

When the riot outside first started, the commander of the Qing army, Prince Yu Duoduo, immediately woke up, kicked away the snow-white jade body wrapped around his body, hurriedly put on a piece of clothing, and ran out of the big tent with a knife.

Looking up, countless firebirds fell into their camp like meteors, accompanied by a loud noise bursting out of the earth-shattering brilliant firelight, as far as the eye could see, the entire camp had dozens of fires.

Enemy attack! The thought immediately crossed Dord's mind. However, although young but experienced in many battles, Duoduo did not panic, and decisively ordered to go down and let all the soldiers gather.

When they saw the majestic figure of their commander, many of the Eight Banners soldiers calmed down, silently stood behind Duoduo, and soon gathered more than a thousand people.

Dodor knew that the most important thing at the moment was not to go out of the camp to attack the attacking enemy, but to gather troops first to suppress the unrest in the entire camp. He immediately sent an order down to all the soldiers not to shout and run, and the generals gathered to restrain their subordinates.

Following Duoduo's military orders, groups of Eight Banners cavalry galloped through the camp, loudly conveying Duoduo's military orders, and mercilessly slashing and killing those soldiers who were still in turmoil.

Just when the situation was slightly better, countless fire points suddenly flew from outside the camp, and screams rang out, and hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground. But after the Divine Fire Flying Crow was released, Ren Siqi ordered the Flying Dragon to carry out a covering attack on the Qing army camp.

A flying dragon has a hundred rockets, and the Daishan Army has brought as many as a hundred this time. The arrows fell like locusts to the camp of the Qing army, and it happened to cover the heads of the Qing soldiers who panicked out of the camp.

Faced with a continuous stream of arrows, the situation that had just improved immediately became worse. The Qing soldiers were attacked while sleeping, and many of them did not have time to put on their armor. Seeing the raindrops of sparks falling overhead, many Qing soldiers screamed and hurriedly dodged.

In fact, there were only about 100 flying dragons carried by the Daishan army, and the casualties caused to the Qing soldiers were limited, that is, hundreds of people were shot. However, the panic caused was far greater than expected. The unrest throughout the camp grew louder.

No, the incoming enemy must be defeated, and if this attack continues, the Eight Banners will be able to say that those newly attached Green Battalion soldiers will have to collapse. Looking at the rockets flying in the sky, Duoduo made up his mind. A thousand cavalry were drawn from the assembled Eight Banners, and Bei Zi Shangshan led the camp to kill the Ming army that dared to attack.

The gate of the camp was wide open, the antlers were removed, and the 1,000 and 8 banner soldiers each carried a torch and galloped out of the camp. Each of them wore armor, some of them several layers, and were not afraid of arrows.

Although the night was not suitable for the galloping of cavalry, the thousand cavalrymen were veterans of the battlefield, and they were familiar with the terrain outside the camp, and they were not afraid of the horses stumbling in the light of the moon and the lighting of torches. And in their opinion, these Ming troops who came to sneak attack were just some cowards, who only dared to release hidden arrows outside the camp in a sneaky way, and they couldn't afford a blow from their cavalry. How many Ming troops broke down in front of their iron cavalry and fled or surrendered on their knees, and this time it was the same.

A thousand cavalry left the camp and galloped towards the place where the rockets were emitted, and there were many black shadows in front of them, it must be those Ming troops who were sneaking up!

Shang Shan, who led the team, gave an order, and all the Eight Banners soldiers threw the torches in their hands forward, and the torches flew in the air, shining on the panicked and white faces of the Ming troops in front, and at the same time, they also saw that those Ming soldiers were actually lined up in several neat arrays, and the bright spears in their hands were pointing at themselves.

Do you want to stop the heroic Eight Banners with a mere gun array? Shang Shan's heart was dumbfounded, and he didn't need to give an order, all the cavalry took out their bows and arrows, as long as one round of shooting, those Ming troops would collapse, and the next thing was wanton slaughter.

However, before these Eight Banners soldiers could draw their bowstrings, a popping bean like a "bang" sound suddenly sounded from their sides, and many Eight Banners soldiers galloping on horseback felt a sharp pain in their bodies, and all their strength suddenly planted their horses. It turned out that Ren Siqi had already ambushed a thousand musketeers on the flank, waiting for the Qing soldiers to attack.

The Eight Banners attacked the Daishan Army's firearms position from the camp, and just exposed their sides to the Daishan Army musketeers who were in ambush.

When he knew that there was a trench in front of the Qing army camp wall, Ren Siqi knew that the plan to storm the camp was no longer feasible, because even if he could rush in, he would not be able to withdraw safely. So he started the idea of attacking the Qing soldiers who came out of the camp.

With the firing of a thousand musketeers, the twenty flying dragons that had been reserved were also ignited, and the rockets in the sky flew like locusts towards the attacking thousand and eight banner soldiers. This kind of rocket arrow is five feet long, with a range of 300 steps, each of which is like an iron spear, and its power is comparable to that of an ordinary crossbow, and it is fired at close range, even if the Qing soldiers are wearing three layers of armor, they cannot resist the shooting of rockets.

Under the cover of the rockets, countless Qing soldiers screamed and fell off their horses or fell to the ground with them. (To be continued.) )
