After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, Pang Gang hurried to the Qingzhou Army defense line, and saw that the artillery battalion was still attacking the shield carts of the Qing army with solid bullets, and immediately shouted to Dong Guo: "General Dong! ”

Dong Guo replied loudly: "The end will be!" ”

Pang Gang asked with a calm face: "How many rounds do we have left?" How long can you still play? ”

Dong Guo replied without thinking: "Lord Qiqi, we probably have more than 900 flowering bombs. If you use all the flowering bombs, you can only use them for one day. ”

"More than nine hundred!" Pang Gang calculated in his heart and said to Dong Guo: "Now is not the time to be thrifty, the Tartars are attacking too quickly, you immediately let the gunner replace the flowering shells and bomb the damn." ”

"Yes!"

Dong Guo, who received the order, immediately ordered the gunners to replace the flowering shells and prepare to open fire on the Qing army.

"Attention all, change the bullets, the target, the second trench, put!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The rumbling cannon sound sounded again, and one after another flowering shells bloomed everywhere in the shield carts of the Qing army and the dense places of the Qing soldiers, and after the shells exploded, the huge shock wave blew up the shield carts and countless Qing soldiers holding heavy shields into the sky.

For a time, the unsuspecting Qing army was suddenly extremely miserable, and the Qing army was so densely lined up that a single shell could kill and injure more than a dozen Qing soldiers.

Looking at the Qing army that was bombed and crying for their fathers and mothers, the gunners worked harder one by one.

"Move one degree to the right, the height remains the same, put!"

"Boom ......"

The artillery placed on the northern defense line of Qingzhou fired at the Qing soldiers with full strength, often blowing up a large area, but the Qing army rushed forward desperately as if it had fought enough blood, and there were many Qing soldiers who stormed the front defense line of the Qingzhou army, and their armor was of different colors, which seemed to come from the archers and auxiliaries of the Eight Banners of Manchuria or the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and every once in a while, they would immediately change people, and one after another seemed to be forever.

In the face of the intensive offensive of the Qing army, it was already very difficult to rely on a battalion of riflemen to hold a two-mile-long defensive line, so Pang Gang had to pull up the baggage battalion, and did not require them to shoot accurately, as long as they could inflict damage on the Tartars.

From morning to afternoon, the Qing army's fierce offensive has not stopped, relying on the large number of people, the Qing soldiers even rely on rotation of meal time, anyway, they are resolutely not giving the Ming army time to rest. One went down, and then another wave of people came up to the trench.

In this way, the two sides fought fiercely until dusk, and the three trenches in front of the Ming army had been filled in two, and only the last trench remained.

The Qing army's fierce and uninterrupted offensive surprised Lu Xiangsheng, Pang Gang and other generals, the Qing army relied on its numerical advantage, and could keep replacing the tired soldiers to rest, but Pang Gang only had two battalions of soldiers and horses, and could only defend with two battalions of soldiers and horses.

Pang Gang was not worried about the fierce offensive of the Qing army, because he firmly believed that the Qingzhou army would be enough to crush any attack of the Qing army, but he did not know whether the Shanxi army and the Xuanda army on both flanks could withstand this huge pressure.

If there is a problem in either of the Shanxi army and the Xuanda army, what awaits them will be a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Pang Gang's brows furrowed, after thinking about it, he called Hao Dayong and Hei Tie, and ordered: "You lead the men and horses of your headquarters to the Xuanda army and the Shanxi army respectively, assist them in defense, and report anything wrong immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Hao Dayong agreed without hesitation, but Hei Tie was a little reluctant, and he said hesitantly: "My lord, the people led by the humble position are all cavalry, how can I help them." ”

"Stupid!" Pang Gang glared at Hei Tie angrily: "When is it, you still serve Lao Tzu a shelf, is the cavalry a foot soldier not long after getting off the horse?" You go immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu will let you go to the baggage camp to ride a donkey every day! ”

"Yes!"

Hei Tie was startled and hurried away.

To say that Pang Gang's reinforcements were really timely, when Hao Da led a thousand foot soldiers to the defense line of Yang Guozhu's Xuanda army, he found that the Xuanda army had fallen into a bitter battle, and the Qing soldiers had broken through the second trench and were already attacking the third one, and the third trench was already in danger.

The Xuan army is using the Rumi gun to return fire to the Qing soldiers, but the Lu Mi gun has a shortcoming, that is, it is more difficult to load, so the firing speed of the ammunition is not high, and the Qing soldiers are now very exaggerated holding dozens of pounds of shields for cover, so the casualties of the Qing soldiers are not high, if it is not estimated that the Ming army of more than 20 Franc machines and Napoleon guns do not dare to go too far, I am afraid that they have already filled in the third trench, and the Qing soldiers who attacked the third trench can already use bows and arrows to shoot at the Ming army, and the Xuan army fought very hard for a while.

When Hao Dayong led a thousand foot soldiers to arrive, Yang Guozhu was about to personally lead a team of foot soldiers to drive the Qing army out, and a staff general was desperately pulling him to let him come back, Hao Dayong was startled when he saw it, and quickly stopped Yang Guozhu and persuaded, "Lord Yang, can you go out, if you have a flash Xuan army, you will have no backbone!" ”

Yang Guozhu turned around and was about to scold angrily, but when he saw that it was someone from the Qingzhou Army, he stopped scolding and said with a wry smile: "Do you think this official wants to go?" But if you don't go here now, you're in danger of falling. ”

Hao Dayong patted his chest and said: "Chief Yang Bing, don't worry, I have served the order of a huge man and brought a thousand foot soldiers to help, and I will never let the Tartars have a good time!" ”

After speaking, Hao Da waved his hand, and a thousand foot soldiers immediately entered behind the low wall, found cover and began to shoot.

With the addition of 1,000 riflemen, the firepower of the Xuan army was greatly increased, and the casualties of the Qing soldiers immediately increased greatly, and soon the crazy offensive of the Qing soldiers was suppressed, and many Qing archers who leaned out of their bodies were constantly shot and fell.

Looking at the constant gunshots and the Qing soldiers who kept being shot and fell, Yang Guozhu breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Hao Dayong gratefully: "Mr. Hao Qian, thanks to you for bringing your brothers to help, otherwise this official would be hanging here." If the battalion is lost because the defense line here is breached, the official will be to blame! ”

Hao Dayong said with a smile: "My lord is serious, everyone is to resist external humiliation, why do you want to see the outside like this!" ”

Yang Guozhu nodded wordlessly, and looked up at the sky again, "Now that it's getting dark, I guess the Tartars should also retreat......"

As the sky gradually darkened, a long horn sounded in the camp of the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers who were originally charging also retreated like a tide...
