When Geng Zhongming rushed to Kong Youde's Chinese army tent in a panic, the originally good cowhide tent had become a scorched earth, and the severed limbs and stumps scattered everywhere didn't know who it belonged to. Kong Youde and several of his henchmen, along with Chen Ruizhi, Lin Zhiji and others, all disappeared.

Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde have been friends for more than 20 years, and as early as when they were in the Ming Army in Shandong, the two had a good relationship. After the Wuqiao Mutiny, Kong Youde led an army to attack Dengzhou, and Geng Zhongming was the first general to respond. After defecting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, whenever an army was sent, the two would be in one place, so the relationship was even closer.

Unexpectedly, today, Kong Youde died inexplicably surrounded by the army, and Geng Zhongming was sad that his old friend was in trouble, and a layer of cold sweat also broke out on the back of his neck. He also knew the news of the heavy casualties of the front Wuzhenchao Ha Shi Tingzhu, and now, the vanguard battalion army will still have such a situation, that can only show a situation, the Ming army in Nanjing has made all preparations in the face of the Qing army's offensive, and today's battle is not easy to fight!

Faced with such a situation, Bolo didn't expect it, Tun Qi was dumbfounded, and Geng Zhongming was even more panicked. Under the concentrated blow of the Ming army's artillery fire, the Wuzhen Chaoha Department has become a fish on the chopping board, slaughtered by others, and the sporadic shells have little threat to the Jubaomen city gate, and at this time, the elite cavalry of the two blue flags has rushed out of the camp with a large group of Mongolian cavalry and green battalion cavalry, and it is too late to withdraw at this time.

The flat land in front of the treasure gate made the cavalry of the Qing army completely let go of the foot power of the war horses, and from the moment they left the camp, they got the order to rush to the city gate at all costs, and all the orders were condensed into one word, that is, to "hurry".

The cavalry out of the camp was almost the same, with more than 10,000 troops. It is already the elite of all the cavalry of the Qing army, including more than 4,000 main cavalry of the left and right banners of Tumut. This is also the strongest soldier and horse in the Eastern Route Army of the Qing Army.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the army to recruit the Mobei Mongolia led by the Chahar Department, and the Mongol tribes of the Southern Mongols competed for submission under the leadership of the Horqin Ministry, and after the war ended. Huang Taiji reorganized the Mongol tribes in southern Mo according to the regulations of the Eight Banners. With 300 people as a cow, plus the original Mongolian soldiers and horses under the command of Manchuria, a total of more than 30,000 elite cavalry. On this basis, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were established, and the official system of the flag color was the same as that of the Eight Banners, and it was married to the Mongolian tribes and led by the ministers.

The Tumut Department is no longer among the Eight Banners, and belongs to the Outer Mongolian Division, which is dependent on the Manchu Qing Dynasty for survival. At any time, he was ordered to send troops to fight with the Qing army. This time to the south, the Tumut Department dispatched the main force of the elite cavalry of the tribe to follow the two blue banners.

The news of the fall of Guanwai was tightly controlled by the Qing army, but Gushan Ezhenshanba and Mubuchu of the two banners on the left and right of Tumut still received some sporadic news. The two of them were very worried about this, and they also complained a lot in front of Bolo and Tunqi, and the general meaning was to end the war as soon as possible and return to the Mongolian steppe.

However, in order to entrap this elite army and lure it to its advantage, Bolo and Tunqi even promised to conquer Nanjing. The Tumut Ministry will take over Zhenjiang Mansion, burn and loot. The Eight Banners were all ignored. Only then did the two of them be calmed down.

Out of the camp today, Shanba and Mubuchu were eager to make meritorious contributions, and they were even more eager for the prosperity of Zhenjiang Mansion, so they took the lead and led the cavalry under their command to rush to the forefront. The two of them also have an extra thought, if they can be the first to enter Nanjing, then this land of the Ming Emperor will be at their disposal.

But a moment after leaving the camp. The two of them realized that something was wrong, the artillery fire of the Ming army was fierce, and it bombarded the forward battalion of the Qing army behind them, and they didn't know what the situation was in the big camp now. The foot soldiers and accompanying auxiliaries who were originally in the plan behind him are also gone, and there has been no contact. The sound of artillery rumbled, and even the sound of horns and golden drums in the camp could not be heard, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen could only keep rushing forward with their heads shut. Fortunately, the distance from the city gate of Jubaomen is not too far, and it only takes a moment to rush to the front.

In front of the treasure gate, it can be vaguely seen that the people of Jiangyin are slowly retreating towards the city under the protection of the Ming soldiers, and it can be determined that they are indeed retreating "slowly", in an orderly manner, and it seems that they have not found the overwhelming cavalry that is gradually approaching. This is very strange, but at this time, Shanba and Mu Buchu no longer have the heart to think about these things.

In the blink of an eye, it was only four hundred paces away from the city gate, and the feathered arrows on the city began to fire, but the clear bow was soft, and it did no harm to the cavalry moving at high speed. The Mongolian cavalry wearing red tasseled hats stretched out the round shield in his hand, plus the willow leaf armor on his body, and the flag officer held the black-striped goshawk flag in his hand high, and as far as the eye could see, only the square inch of the city gate remained.

Li Guo and Li Laiheng, father and son, rode horses and stood at the head of the suspension bridge, watching the cavalry of the Qing army surging like a tsunami. Li Guo couldn't help but change color a little, but Li Laiheng, the righteous son next to him, had a normal complexion, which made Li Guo inevitably a little curious and ashamed. He is also a veteran who has fought for half his life, but he is not even as good as a junior.

But it's really a little strange, the Qing army is approaching in a big way, but Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan are all light-hearted, can they really "talk and laugh and be forced to disappear"? Chen's head was densely covered with firearms and all kinds of firearms, but the city gate was not heavily defended, once the Qing cavalry rushed to the city, the city gate was opened, how could the safety of the urn city be ensured? This Shandong army is indeed different from other Ming armies, Li Guo is a newcomer in the Ming army, and he still can't fully understand the self-confident and disciplined atmosphere of the Shandong army.

Just when Li Guo was puzzled, Li Laiheng beside him waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately blew the bamboo whistle in his mouth, the sound was sharp and piercing, but it was clearly audible in the roar of the cannon.

When the bamboo whistle blew, Li Guo was taken aback, in the moats, trenches and ravines, among the layers of accumulated corpses, there were suddenly hundreds of Ming soldiers guarding their mouths and noses. When did these people hide in the middle of this corpse?

The Ming sergeants were all wearing light armor, and their bodies were exceptionally agile and light, and their faces were covered with special masks that could be seen everywhere in the Shandong army.

Some of them carried a bamboo pipe more than four feet long, the mouth of which was the thickness of a sea bowl, but it seemed to be quite heavy. As far as Li Guo could see, he could find that there seemed to be a layer of iron pipe embedded in the bamboo pipe. Some of the Ming soldiers wore thick cotton clothes, wrapped layers of cotton pads around their shoulders, and wore thick gloves on their hands.

The other Ming soldiers placed the bamboo pipe on the shoulders of the soldiers in cotton clothes, and casually stuffed an iron rocket wrapped in a layer of gunpowder into the bamboo pipe on their backs, and lit the fire fold in their hands. He lit the fire rope at the back end of the bamboo pipe, and then gently patted the arm of the comrade who was carrying the bamboo pipe on his shoulder, and then retreated to the side.

Li Guo was dumbfounded, and the second monk was puzzled, but Li Laiheng raised his hand with a calm face, watching the cavalry of the Qing army rush to a position of about three hundred steps, and put his right hand down heavily.

The shrill voice of the bamboo whistle sounded again.

Li Guo didn't know what this meant, and he heard a sound in his ear that could almost cut through the eardrum, and the sound was extremely poignant. The shock made people hairy, and then a series of such voices rang out.

Li Guo couldn't care about the general's dignity and majesty anymore, and covered his ears in a hurry.

As far as the eye could see, fire snakes erupted from the bamboo pipes and swooped towards the oncoming Qing army horse team at an indescribable speed. The people on all sides were so frightened by this might that they stood still, and opened their mouths wide to watch as those fiery snakes plunged headlong into the ranks of the Qing army.

The high-pitched and sharp voice not only startled the cavalry of the Qing army, but even the war horses under their crotches were startled, and some of the war horses suddenly stopped. The cavalry on his body was caught off guard, and he was used to dismounting at once. The cavalry behind could not hold their feet and crashed headlong, and before the rocket arrived, this situation alone killed hundreds of cavalrymen.

More than 100 fiery snakes rushed into the ranks of the Qing cavalry, followed by a series of earth-shattering explosions, and the ground shook the mountains. The soldiers who charged in the front row of the Qing army disappeared in an instant, and the cavalry behind could not stand in time, so they could only plunge into the smoke of gunpowder again.

Just then, a rocket exploded less than twenty paces away from Shanba's right side, and the three Blue Banner cavalry and several Tumut soldiers who had just been jumping around and rushing to the front were blown out in the blink of an eye. Even the horses had their legs blown off.

Shanba's ears were buzzing, his eyes blurred, and he barely controlled the frightened horses under his seat, shouting loudly for the soldiers to change direction and break through to the flank of the city, but his shouting was immediately drowned out by the sound of the next explosion.

Mu Buchu's right banner Daxu was long gone, and the cavalry were rushing around like headless flies, and it was clear that there were a lot of casualties. The cavalry is elite, and in the event of an unfavorable battle, middle and low-ranking officers can quickly command the soldiers to avoid the enemy's attack, but today, it is the cavalry of the Qing army that is suddenly confused. There is no other reason, just because the artillery fire displayed by the Ming army today is too terrifying.

Shanba couldn't figure out how so many more artillery pieces came out of thin air at the originally empty city gate and by the moat!

In an instant, the Ming army had finished firing the first round of rockets, and the gunner's skilled soldiers hurriedly cleaned up the debris inside the bamboo tube with a wooden stick wrapped in a thick snow-white cotton cloth, and then quickly stuffed another iron rocket into the barrel.

The helpless Shanba could only control his war horse and run desperately towards the flank of the city gate, among them, he had to carefully avoid the corpses of the Qing cavalry and war horses on the ground and the big pit left by the explosion. At this time, the Ming army at the head of the city also began to fire firearms and firearms. The dense rain of bullets left the Qing cavalry defenseless and unable to hide.

The whole treasure gate became a one-sided situation.

Shanba's heart was dripping with blood, and his legs kept slamming the horse's belly, but he heard the soul-chasing sound in his ears again, and when he raised his head, a firelight rushed straight towards him.

Before Shanba could react, there was a burst of fire in his chest and abdomen, and the rocket that was still burning with the fire rope shot straight into his chest, and the huge impact pushed him directly off the horse, and flew more than ten steps away, and before he could land, the rocket had already burst open, and a burst of blood suddenly appeared in the air, mixed with minced flesh and scattered down.
