readx(); Even today, the Han army banner has launched many attacks on the Ming army, and each time it has been defeated more and more badly, and the soldiers have become frightened birds. As soon as they saw the Ming army charging again, these traitors subconsciously fled back. If the whole line really collapses, then the earthen wall will be in vain, and today's attack will also end in complete failure.

The three of Sonny Aobai, who were watching the battle in the back, saw that the situation was not good, and they were really a little anxious. After fighting for so long a day, he didn't even touch the corners of the Ming army's clothes, but he had already paid a heavy price of thousands of casualties. If this front can't be preserved anymore, won't it be in vain today? When Hauge woke up, he would never spare them.

Therefore, the three of them coincidentally went into battle in person and led the elite Manchu cavalry to kill them from behind. As soon as the Eight Banners Army was dispatched, the momentum of the rout of the Han Army was indeed stopped, because these traitors also knew that their Manchu masters were more murderous than the enemy, and there was no mercy for killing them.

As soon as the Ming army saw the Eight Banners cavalry dispatched, they did not pursue it anymore and quickly retreated into the trenches. The artillery also stopped firing, and the battlefield fell silent all at once.

Of course, Sony and others did not dare to "chase after the victory", as long as they could keep the earthen wall, this attack would be considered a gain. Several people returned to discuss it, and they all thought that although the Ming army's firearms were powerful, the battle just now was very fierce, and the consumption of ammunition by the Ming army must have been very amazing. After all, the position of the Ming army is so large, and the ammunition will be less than a little, and when it is exhausted, it will completely lose its combat effectiveness. So we have to keep attacking.

As if to confirm the judgment of Sony and others, it took a long time for the Ming army to resume shelling, but the number and frequency of artillery firing were greatly reduced, only less than one-third of what was just now. Ao Bai was overjoyed and said, "Yes? The Han people are running out of ammunition and now have to spare. As soon as our cavalry was dispatched just now, they immediately retreated, indicating that they were still afraid of our cavalry. This time, I will personally lead the Four Banners cavalry to charge and flatten the Han people! ”

Sonny also agreed with Aobai's judgment, after all, cavalry moved much faster on the battlefield than infantry, and it was not easy for the Ming army to aim. But he still didn't want to launch a general attack now, because after all, the Ming army still had some ammunition left, and a hard attack would still have to pay a lot of casualties. The soldiers of the Han army banner died when they died, and there was nothing to be sorry for. But the Eight Banners Cavalry is the "old book" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the life of a Eight Banner Cavalry is worth more than a hundred Han Army Banner soldiers, but it is absolutely not to be squandered.

Sun Qiu and Qiu investigated the situation of Zhanyang too far away

So Sony has adopted a compromise tactic. The second wave of large-scale attacks began half an hour later, and the main force of the attack was still the Han army's banner soldiers. The difference is that this time they were much more cautious, using their shields as cover and slowly advancing forward.

In the past two days, various military supplies have been transported from Ningyuan one after another, the most important of which is shields. But this thing is mainly used when the Han army flag is attacking the city, the Manchu people are never used, and they don't pay enough attention to it in peacetime, and the stock is not much, and now there are only 5,000 yuan in the army. Therefore, Sony could only send 5,000 Han army banner soldiers, and it was impossible to attack from three sides at the same time, but only attack from the north.

The only enemy of the land is the one who hates the war and the moon is cool

But these five thousand men were just a disguise, designed to attract the firepower of the Ming army. The real attack force was 500 cavalry with blue flags led by the two generals of Aobai and Bilong. These two groups of cavalry, one in the northeast and the other in the northwest, both rushed diagonally towards the battlefield. Because they also found that rushing forward or retreating straight can easily become a live target for the Ming army, and the difficulty of moving diagonally to aim will be greatly increased.

But these cavalrymen did not go directly to the trenches, but fastened several arrows to the bowstrings in advance, and when they were sixty or seventy paces away from the trenches, they fired all the arrows at the trenches in one go, and then immediately turned their horses' heads and withdrew behind the earthen wall.

The Eight Banners Army was the best at cavalry archery, and ordinary soldiers could easily shoot iron arrows to eighty paces away, so these arrows could be shot at the Ming Army. He withdrew as soon as he finished shooting, and he also minimized his own casualties as much as possible.

This tactic really worked, and the Ming army's bird-gunners in the trenches were suppressed by the rain of arrows, and had to often retreat into the trenches to avoid arrows, and the number of shots was greatly reduced. In this way, the 5,000 shield soldiers of the Han army banner were attacked much less, and these people gradually advanced to fifty paces away from the trenches, formed a shield formation, and hid behind to open their bows and arrows at the Ming army. Although the archery skills of these people are much worse than those of the Eight Banners Cavalry, they can also play a certain role in winning because there are many people.

Gradually, the scales of victory began to tilt in favor of the Qing army. The guns of the Ming army became more and more sparse, and they were even so pressed that they could not raise their heads for a while, and they could only rely on snipers and artillery to kill and wound the enemy. However, the sniper reloading was too slow, and although the artillery was still very effective, it often smashed the shield array to pieces with one shot, but in this way, there was no time to shell the earthen wall in the distance, and the Qing army had completely gained a foothold behind the earthen wall.

At this time, Hauge, who had been in a coma for a long time, also woke up leisurely. Although his body was extremely weak after vomiting blood, he was still quite tenacious, and he gritted his teeth and turned over his horse and went to the front of the battle to watch the battle in person. Seeing that Sonny commanded properly, he took the lead in worshipping Curb Pilon, and Curb Pilon was even hit in the helmet by lead bullets, and almost died, but he still fought and did not retreat, and he was very pleased.

By this time the battle had been going on for several hours, and the sun was not far from setting. The battle line of the Qing army is getting closer and closer to the trenches, and the guns of the Ming army are becoming more and more sparse. But the Qing army also paid a great price for this: five thousand shieldmen had been killed by the cannons, seven or eight hundred, and countless were wounded; The cavalry who charged into battle also suffered many casualties, most of them were sniped from a distance by Lu Mi and shot in the head. Fortunately, the Qing army continued to rise behind them, so that the intensity of the attack could be maintained.

Hauge is also experienced in a hundred battles, of course, he knows that the most stalemate moment on the battlefield is often the most critical moment, as long as one side can't withstand it, the situation will be out of control. On the one hand, he had great hopes for breaking through the Ming army's position, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but be anxious. After being in the sun for a long time, Hauge felt hot and dry, and he couldn't take off his armor to take advantage of the cold. It happened to be very close to the coast, and the cool breeze from the sea was blowing. Hauge was blown by the wind and felt very comfortable, so he simply moved to the seaside, where he continued to watch the battle with the sea breeze.

After the hatred of the distant ghosts, the hatred was made by the cold trouble

Just as Hauge was watching the battle intently, there was a sudden "boom", and a cannonball fell accurately into his Chinese ranks, killing several cavalrymen on the spot. Although Hauge himself was not hit, he was so weak with fright that he fell off his horse. But this is still far from the Ming army's position, at least three miles away, how can the shells hit here?

While everyone was wondering, suddenly one of them pointed to the sea and exclaimed in horror: "Boat! The warships of the Han people! ”
