Chapter 258: Comfortable

Soon, the Qing army on the front rushed close to a mile and a half, and what made them strange was that the usual fierce artillery rockets of the Ming army did not shoot, and they rushed two hundred paces, which was still the case. ”

Duoduo even speculated: "Maybe the Dou artillery has been blown up by several of my cannons." ”

Abatai shook his head: "Wang Dou is scheming, and he cannot be underestimated. ”

Not long after, the first wave of Qing soldiers under the cover of layers of shield vehicles had already rushed to the low wall trench of the Shunxiang army, and the fierce shouts and firecrackers in front of them began to sound.

The probe rolls back and reports: "...... On the various passages of the Ming army, there is no artillery to be seen, and the firearms they shoot are much weaker than yesterday......" "The Ming army seems to be powerless to resist, and our Qing soldiers can attack the wall with one drum." ”

Immediately, Duo Yi and the others were already discussing, and Duo Duo said: "I will say that Wang Dou's artillery has been blown up completely, and my warriors of all banners are covered by shield vehicles, and their firearms are naturally useless." It seems that they have been blown out of their courage and are about to be defeated. ”

Several banner owners of the Eight Banners of Mongolia agreed with Duoyi's opinion, and Abatai shook his head: "It's so easy to rout, it's not Wang Dou." ”

He said: "According to my calculations, Wang Dou's troops suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of our general's artillery, and they were unable to defend the first trench wall, so they retreated into the second trench wall. Yesterday, when the White Flag warriors attacked the trench wall, they saw that there was another trench wall defense line behind the Ming army. ”

Dolgon made up his mind and said, "Wang Dou should not be in the time of rout, but in the previous rounds of artillery bombardment, it is expected that his army has suffered heavy casualties, and he is already unable to defend. He has lost his spirit, and our Qing soldiers can capture his first trench wall, and they can also break through his second trench wall. Under the bombardment of my artillery, where can he retreat? No matter how many walls they set up, they will be invaded by my army! ”

He gave a series of orders to attack, and the passionate war drums sounded again, and it seemed that at the same time, the overwhelming shouts in front of him sounded, and the tide of Qing soldiers swooped down towards the first earthen wall passage of the Shunxiang army.

Soon the Qing soldiers poured into the various passages, and in front of them, there were at least three refined shield carts, and on the two passages in front, there were five shield carts in parallel. Behind each shield cart were white and white flag sergeants holding shields aloft and holding swords and axes in their hands, wearing heavy armor.

On both sides of these heavy armor soldiers, there were also many light armor archers who shot arrows at the Shunxiang army on the earthen wall to cover the advance of the shield cart. The first wave rushed into the channel, at least one cow recorded hundreds of people. Behind them, there were two white flag warriors who followed one Niu Lu after another. "Withdraw!"

Han Zhong shouted, the purpose of luring the Tartar soldiers in had been achieved, so there was no need to stay in the circle.

Under his command, he immediately ordered hundreds of firecrackers to run towards the second earthen wall. When he ran back, the ground was full of mud bags and dirt baskets, and there was solidified and slippery blood, and many people were in a hurry, and they couldn't help but stumble and slip, and the firecrackers beside him hurriedly helped him up. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared within the second earthen wall. Soon the soldiers rushed in, and then they ran into trouble.

The shield cart pushed by the handymen could no longer be pushed after a few steps into the earthen wall, and the ground was full of mud bags and earthen baskets.

On the passage in front of them, dozens of men dressed as white flag sergeants flashed from behind several shield carts, one of whom was extremely short, full of beard, and his face was covered with scars. He was extremely rose, with a heart shield on his chest, a black tassel on his helmet, and a flag high behind him, but a white flag with three layers of heavy armor was assigned to Pashku.

He lifted a heavy shield, held a huge half-moon short-handled axe in his right hand, looked around, and there was no one between the earthen walls in front of him, only a hundred steps in front of him and another earthen wall, and there was no movement of any figure behind the wall. Between this earthen wall, there are mud bags and dirt baskets everywhere, which makes it extremely difficult for people to walk, those Ming people, what the hell are they pinching?

He couldn't think too much about it, and the warriors behind him had already poured in, either wearing double layers of heavy armor, armed with spears, halberds, and large swords and axes. or dressed in iron-inlaid cotton armor, holding bows and arrows, all of them are heavy armor soldiers and light armor soldiers with two white flags. Behind them, there were some unclothed concubines.

I didn't encounter any blows along the way, and it was unbelievably smooth, but when I attacked, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Wang Dou looked at the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers behind the firecrackers, who were also lined up in a neat line at this time, waiting for the battle.

The artillery ammunition has been filled, the musket medicine in everyone's hands has already been loaded, the arquebus has been lit, and everything is ready!

Wang Dou looked at Xie Yike sharply and nodded heavily, Xie Yike was also extremely excited, and he shouted in shock: "Drumming!" ”

The stirring war drums of the Shunxiang army sounded, and immediately the whole army shouted, and all the firecrackers "all stood up. The firecrackers in the front row set up their firecrackers on the earthen wall, and all the artillery was also pushed out from the side of the earthen wall. When those Qing soldiers were collectively taken aback, Zhao shouted hoarsely: "Open the cannon!" ”

The earth shook violently, and the earth-shattering artillery salvo sounded, and the four Hongyi six-pounder guns of the bidding battalion, the Shunxiang Army firing firing at the same time as the four Hongyi six-pounder guns, the Shunxiang Army's fifteen medium guns of the Buddha Wolf machine, twenty-five small Buddha wolf machine bronze guns, and thirty tiger squat guns opened fire at the same time.

A large stream of dense gunpowder smoke rose up, and the entire perimeter of the earthen wall seemed to be shrouded in smoke, and countless lead pellets roared towards the Qing soldiers in front of the earthen wall, no matter what armor they wore or what shield they held, it had no effect at all.

In front of the earthen wall hundreds of meters long, those Qing troops fell like ears of wheat blown by the wind, and a large area of "everyone's body was full of flesh and blood, and it was covered with dense blood holes. Dozens of people were beaten and flew out.

The four Hongyi six-pounder guns of the Supervisory Battalion have a range of more than 200 paces, and the fifteen Wolf guns of the Shunxiang Army have a range of more than 100 paces. Twenty-five small bronze cannons of the Buddha Wolf machine, with a range of nearly 100 paces.

Between the two earthen walls, there were only more than a hundred steps, and most of the artillery fired straight through, which could penetrate the entire space. Those Qing soldiers came intensively, from this end to that end, no one could dodge, directly from beginning to end, and were opened up one by one flesh alley!

As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the dense sound of firecrackers like popping beans rang out again.
