On the battlefield outside Lushun City, the front flashed with dense gun flames and cannon flames, after the Hongyi cannon of Houjin revealed its figure, it immediately aimed at the opposite Dengzhou field artillery position and fired, and the artillery of Dengzhou Town also returned fire in the direction of the artillery flame, and the Houjin army dug up a section of the earthen wall at night, and still left part of the earthen wall in the direction of Dengzhou Town, and supported it with wood, and then smuggled the Hongyi cannon into the gun position, and camouflaged it with earth fortresses and flags and other things around it, and evaded the investigation of Xiguan Mountain.

Houjin's artillery and cannonball making are not as good as Dengzhou Town, the clearance of the cannonballs makes their accuracy far inferior to Dengzhou Town, but the unique long barrel and large weight of the naval guns make the cannonballs have a higher muzzle velocity, and the shooting is more stable, and there are eleven of Houjin's artillery captured from the battles of Dalinghe and Changshan, mostly nine-pound and twelve-pounder guns, and the Tianyou Cheering General they made themselves has twelve, mainly firing seven-pound cannons, and one of them exploded in the firing some time ago, leaving twenty-two, Scattered on the entire front to strike at the breastwork and artillery emplacements of Dengzhou.

The first round of guns and cannons rang out at the right time, and the coats in the front row fell down like mowing grass, and the rest of the people continued to advance under the pressure of a small number of Houjin soldiers, and set up soil bags a few steps away from the Dengzhou trench, and at the back trench, groups of Mongolian soldiers sent the soil bags at the bottom of the trench to the ground, so that those coats could continue to be carried.

Dengzhou Town immediately opened fire, all the firearms that could be used were firing, the three heavy weapons flag teams that had been silent diffused in the direction of the Houjin Tu Wall, 13,000 rockets skimmed the sky, filling the sky with white smoke trails, the guns and rockets were deafening, and the fire and thunder thrown by both sides were so dense that it was almost impossible to distinguish the explosion point. All kinds of weapons from the period of hot and cold weapons are performed on the same stage here.

The battle was fiercest in the middle part of the front, and both the Wuzhen Chaoha and Tianyou armies were equipped with a large number of bird guns, and there were even more than 300 self-generated fire guns in them, and the density of artillery was also the largest, and both sides produced a large amount of smoke. The vision was blurred, and countless coatings ran like ants inside, struggling for the slim chance of survival.

In the middle of the coat were scattered remnants and armor soldiers, who howled loudly to supervise the coat. Wielding a knife to frantically slash and kill those who had a mental breakdown and were physically exhausted, forcing the other coats to burst out with the potential to survive, and a few steps away from the Dengzhou trench were erected one by one, and the coats killed by muskets became part of the earthen ramparts. The layers of earthen bags are interspersed with coated corpses, revealing heads, hands and feet, like horrific performance art pictures.

More and more Mongols appeared in the middle of the barrage, and they were coerced by Bayala. The corpse that had stepped on the coat took advantage of the shallow ditch of the barrage ditch for a little cover, and then used a bow and arrow to shoot at the earthen wall. When the distance is closer, the accuracy of the bow and arrow is greatly increased. The cavalry bows used by these Mongols could not pierce armor, but they could still kill if they hit the front door.

The soldiers of Dengzhou Town still had an advantage relying on the cover of the breastwork, and the high rate of fire of the bow and arrow could not be exerted in front of the breastwork, so they could only rely on these Mongol archery skills to resist.

The Mongols suffered heavy casualties in front of the upper and lower layers of muskets. But the earthen fortress finally slowly increased, and after the Houjin armor soldiers began to reach the earthen wall, these forces with the most tenacious fighting will used fire thunder and foot bows, and the biggest threat to Dengzhou Town was fire thunder, and the two sides threw each other at a short distance, and the losses began to increase......

Thirty paces away, there was a loud bang, a section of wall bricks shattered into countless pieces, crackling and hitting the female wall behind, small bricks splashed dozens of steps away, the guards soldiers quickly raised their shields, covering around Chen Xin, Chen Xin was still observing the front, the hiss of the cannonballs tearing the air still lingered in his ears, and his hand holding the telescope did not tremble in the slightest, as if the shelling did not happen beside him.

"Your Excellency!" Liu Pojun whispered anxiously beside him, "Your subordinates, please go down to the city wall." ”

"Mind your own business." Chen Xin replied coldly, "The Tartar Hongyi cannon can't hit me. ”

"The Tartars have three cannons aimed at this section of the city wall, they must have seen the handsome banner of the lord, and their subordinates asked the lord to remove the city wall."

Chen Xin put down the telescope, turned his head to look at him and said, "I said, you need a stronger will. ”

"Dengzhou Town needs the will of adults even more." Liu Pojun did not flinch this time, "My subordinates invite your Excellency to the second front for the whole town of Dengzhou, besides...... The adults are on the city wall, and the subordinates can't concentrate on the command. ”

Both of them spoke in low voices, drowned out by the cacophony of explosions around them, and none of the surrounding guards noticed. Chen Xin stared at him for a moment, Liu Pojun lowered his head slightly, although he didn't speak, his attitude was very resolute. In this short confrontation, two more shells flew in, one high over the city, and the other hit the city wall more than 20 paces away, and the city wall shook slightly. The surrounding guards were nervous, and in the face of the shells, even if they were willing to block them, they couldn't stop them.

Chen Xin suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "It is also a kind of courage to dare to express the true thoughts in your heart, but the official's idea is that there is no place to fight safely, the battlefield is full of smoke, and they will soon be unable to aim at ......."

"Please forgive me, my subordinates please go down to the city tower, because the adults are more important than Lushun, Houjin suddenly moved the Hongyi cannon forward, the city wall is no longer secure, and the subordinates boldly say that if the adults have any damage, Huang Taiji is invincible and won, but the overall situation in Dengzhou is greatly damaged. Please trust your subordinates, and the final general will ensure that the defense line is firmly guarded. Liu Pojun was anxious, but his tone became more and more firm, "As long as the adults are safe, Lushun will be defeated and won, Jiannu has been in decline, and his subordinates please don't have to take this useless risk." ”

Chen Xin touched his chin, it seemed that what Liu Pojun said made sense, he was more like a spiritual commander in Lushun, rarely interfering in specific military affairs, and the current Dengzhou Town was completely different from the contemporaneous army, including those Europeans. The various teams in Dengzhou can fight independently, the organization of the army is strong, the base will not break and defect, the sense of honor and organization are more than those of Europe, and their own ideas are still on the road of the previous confrontation, and they always think that they must be the main general to boost morale, but in fact they do not have to take such risks, and the benefits and risks are not proportional.

"You're right." Chen Xin nodded, raised his voice and said to Liu Pojun: "Director Liu, you are in charge of the overall situation here, and the official will go to see the injured soldiers." ”

Liu Pojun agreed loudly and watched Chen Xin and his party disappear into the city ladder. He let out a long breath and stood up to look at the battlefield in front of him......

Zhang Zhongqi roared loudly with a knife, forcing the second batch of coats that had just come up to continue to carry the soil bags, and each round of salvo fire. He hid behind Bao Yi's figure, and the groups of Bao Yi around him were all dead, but he was still fine.

They had built two earthen ramparts, and they needed to fill the trenches in those two places. As a passage for attack, at this time, Baoyi was already filling in the trench in front of him, and many armor soldiers and Mongols were hiding behind the earthen fortress that was mostly half a person high, and some Yu Ding was hiding behind the earthen fortress and kept firing and thundering. Other Mongols and archers were firing at each other with bows and arrows, and they attracted the fire of the Dengzhou soldiers.

The Dengzhou field cannon on the right thundered, and the coat in that direction fell down. Zhang Zhongqi shuddered. The artillery fire of the Dengzhou soldiers was really fierce, they began to shoot at the Hongyi artillery for a while, and the Houjin also learned from Dengzhou's appearance to engage in earthen bag cover, and the accuracy of the field artillery could not complete the task of the artillery battle, and soon changed the target to the Houjin soldiers on the front line, and the scattered bullets they fired were like raindrops, which was the most feared thing by Zhang Zhongqi.

Huang Shan's figure flickered in the smoke. Zhang Zhongqi saw that he and the other two coats each carried a dirt bag, and went in the direction of the Lushun trench, and before they could run to the position of the earthen fortress, they fell down, and in front of them were two explosions, and the three Mongols there fell down screaming, Huang Shan rushed into the thick white smoke, and rushed out again after a while, the fire on the Dengzhou earthen wall behind him flickered, and the muskets of those Dengzhou soldiers shot chaotically, and another coat beside Huang Shan also fell.

Zhang Zhongqi looked left and right, one of the two Yu Ding who supervised the battle just now died, and the remaining one had already run to the earthen fortress, this section was unsupervised, and immediately jumped off the horse barrier, pulling over a Mongolian corpse next to him to block the direction of the battle.

When Huang Shan ran past him, Zhang Zhongqi grabbed Huang Shan's clothes and dragged him into the horse barrier, Huang Shan's face was full of water stains, I don't know if it was his sweat or tears, and there were black dirt and blood stains.

"If you want to live, pick up the armor of this tartar." Zhang Zhongqi said, and started to pull the cotton armor on the corpse, he hoped that Huang Shan would survive. Not only because Huang Shan is his most important asset, but also because Huang Shan just saved his life.

"You're a Tartar too." Huang Shan said dumbfoundedly.

Zhang Zhongqi slapped the past, Huang Shan was a little more sober, seeing that Zhang Zhongqi was picking up clothes, and hurriedly came to help, Zhang Zhongqi observed the surroundings while picking, or the clothes came and went, many people had a nervous breakdown, howling and crying on the ground, and the people who ran were constantly knocked down by muskets, and this short distance of more than ten steps was full of clothed corpses.

A few new armor soldiers sprang up from the side of Houjin's trench, and they drew their swords to drive a new batch of armor to rush up, and then several armor soldiers followed behind to kill those who were deranged and wounded.

In the chaotic scene, they didn't notice the two people in the ditch for a while, Zhang Zhongqi quickly put on Huang Shan's cotton armor, and asked him in a low voice, "Is the ditch in front filled?" ”

"Hurry, it's almost full." Huang Shan replied in a panic.

"Then you're playing dead here." Zhang Zhongqi said in a low voice, "I'm going to rush to the wall when it's filled, there is a group of armor soldiers behind me, and Bayala of the Blue Banner also chose here, they want to rush to the earthen wall, and the rest of the coat will definitely be forced by them to rush to the front, and if you don't want to die, you will fall here." ”

In this relatively safe corner, Huang Shanhui came to his senses, his eyes rolled wildly, and after looking around, he said, "What about you, master?" ”

"Lao Tzu naturally knows to save his life, you dog slave is lucky, Lao Tzu wants to do good deeds, leave your dog's life to go back to farming." After Zhang Zhongqi finished scolding, he passed by with a batch of coatings, took a knife and returned to the outside, and drove those coatings along the horse ditch.

After waiting for a long time, they heard the voice of their ox Lu Pashku, who was arranging for a soldier to go back and inform the next group of men, as if the trench had been filled.

Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly made way to the earthen fortress, and soon hundreds of armor soldiers emerged from the trenches, they carried ladders and poured out, driving the remnants of the coats to run to the trenches in Dengzhou, and all those who fell in the end were killed.

Zhang Zhongqi still wanted to stay where he was, but a soldier with a yellow flag ran towards him with a knife, and Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly merged into the crowd and followed behind the soldier. The Houjin soldiers at the earthen fortress threw out the last few fire mines, two of which exploded on the Lushun earthen wall, and the white smoke on the battlefield was already very thick, and the Houjin soldiers shouted in unison, following those coats and rushing towards the two passages.
