Chapter 66: Give it a go

The lights of the Ming army camp were sparkling, but they were firmly surrounded by a thick fog, and the outside of the camp was as dark as ink, and there was not a single grass or tree thirty steps away. But the sound in the ears is genuine, and the sound of "coaxing" makes people's eardrums tingle for a while.

Many Ming soldiers were awakened from their dreams, but the officers of the supervision room placed by Zhu Ping'an in a thousand households rushed out of the camp tent first, and shuttled through the camp with the soldiers of the military law team in dark gray robes, shouting and shouting, and scolded the soldiers who poked their heads out of the camp tent one by one.

"Look at what! It's all for Lao Tzu to take honestly in the camp tent, don't forget our military law, if you dare to leave the camp tent without a military order, the military law team can be killed immediately! ”

This is also the first military regulation set by Zhu Ping'an when he formed the Shandong New Army. In view of the tragic scene of the camp that he had seen in Fengyang, Zhu Ping'an was deeply jealous of this, so he deliberately added such a clause to the military order, not to mention that some soldiers were not allowed to leave the camp at will at night, and also added the addition of night mobile troops and other content.

At this time, Zhang Yaoxian heard a series of explosions very clearly, and immediately recognized that this was a Ming army mine set up outside the camp that had been triggered. There was no news from the outposts and mobile cavalry scattered around the camp, apparently the enemy had already arranged for this, but the mines buried in the ground were something they did not expect.

Although Zhang Yaoxian was startled by the sudden explosion, he immediately regained the calm of the battlefield general, and while the fast horse galloped towards the forward position, a series of orders had been issued, and the mobile troops that had already been set up in advance had been dispatched one after another, converging towards the forefront of the camp, and a musket team of 1,000 people under Kuang Yunkai was also among them, and the small artillery used for close bombardment was also dragged to the position.

Although the Ming army camp was noisy. However, all the arrangements were orderly, which shows that the assault training on weekdays is still very effective.

Zhu Ping'an of the Chinese army also heard the sound, and after walking out of the big tent, he looked north, but he couldn't see anything. Zhang Yaoxian, who was in front, also sent someone to deliver the letter, there was nothing to guess, it must be that the Qing army in Shanhaiguan took advantage of the night and fog to sneak attack. I just don't know how big this sneak attack is.

While speaking, there were bursts of explosions around the Ming army's camp, and it was obvious that the Qing army launched an attack from the north and east and west at the same time, but they obviously did not expect that the Ming army would plant so many mines around the camp, so they had already exposed their whereabouts before they came into contact with the Ming army.

"Your Highness, the fog is thick right now. Do you want to push our rocket cart up and bombard it for a while! The officer sent by Zhang Yaoxian hurriedly suggested, there was no trace of panic on the swarthy young face, but it was full of excited expressions, and the bronze medal of the Qianhu officer hanging from his waist also swayed with his movements.

Before the words fell, the explosion in front of him was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that there were a large number of enemies attacking, and after triggering the mine, they did not intend to retreat at all, but rushed straight forward.

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand. Obviously, the Qing army was already very familiar with the rocket vehicles of the Ming army. They knew very well that this kind of large-scale killing weapon was a threat to themselves from a long distance, so they did not retreat but advanced, just to strangle with the Ming army as soon as possible, so that most of the firearms in the hands of the Ming army lost their original striking effect.

The corners of Zhu Ping'an's mouth showed an elusive smile. Dorgon, this opponent, did not disappoint himself.

Zhang Yaoxian's forehead suddenly sweated. The sound of the mine explosion was getting denser and louder, and he knew very well what it meant, and the thick fog was filled with black smoke after the explosion, making his vision even more blurred. It seems that the mobile units prepared at the beginning are far from meeting the needs of the enemy. With the desolate trumpets in the army and the dense sound of snare drums between the divisions. The soldiers in the camp also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took their equipment and quickly assembled towards the front line of the camp under the command of the military justice team and officers.

It was only strange that there was not a single scream in the smoke, and there was a chilling silence in the thick fog, as if only the beast had inadvertently touched the mine. But then, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps was clearly audible and slowly transmitted along the wind.

The soldiers at the front had their hands drenched in sweat, holding their spears and shields tightly, and the musketeers had already opened the paper-wrapped ammunition and threw all the ammunition into the barrel of their guns, and the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the crowd.

The silhouette of the rejecting horses outside the camp is faintly visible, and further north is a confused fog. As the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps grew from far to near, everyone's hearts suddenly beat faster.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the mist, not tall, but the figure is thick and strong, naked upper body, strong muscles bulging high, a black short-handled iron axe in his hand dancing in the wind, but the footsteps are constantly coming towards the gate of the Ming army's camp, the horse in front of the gate is like a pile of children's toys in front of him, after a few chops, it reveals a big gap. A bamboo whistle sounded in the Ming army, and a rain of arrows flew up immediately, and the man rushed to the front, and more than ten feather arrows were suddenly pierced on the chest and lower abdomen, but he didn't realize it, and continued to chop the horse in front of him, knowing that his body was full of feather arrows, so he fell to the ground with a bang.

Behind him, he could clearly hear the continuous muffled humming, but in the fog, countless figures suddenly appeared, horses, foot soldiers, all kinds of soldiers, almost all the sight of the Ming soldiers, and they were killed out of the fog without warning, and the explosion of the mines continued, visible to the naked eye, countless soldiers became flesh and blood sprinkled all over the sky, but the tide-like Qing army still rushed up without fear of death, like a demon from hell.

The darkness of the night, the thick black fog, and the hideous and innumerable soldiers and horses that come out of it will inevitably cause a feeling of psychological fear.

Although the first guard of the new army had been fighting for many years, there were many new recruits among them, and when they saw this situation, their hands and feet could not help but tremble, and the spears on the wooden fence also shook with them, making a peculiar sound.

The experienced officer in the army suddenly shouted, "The one on the other side is just the infantry armor of the Tartar army, not even the special vest, let alone the white-armored elite soldiers!" Open your eyes to Lao Tzu to see clearly, Tartar is also a head, four hands and feet, and the thing in the crotch may not be as big as our brother! A shot poked over, and it still made them unable to eat and walk! ”

A burst of laughter erupted in the ranks of the soldiers and horses, but the atmosphere in the entire camp was relaxed, and the musketeers opened fire, which relieved the pressure on the recruits' hearts a lot.

At this time, the sound of mine explosions on the periphery of the camp gradually weakened, and the protective facilities such as the horse ditch were completely destroyed by the Qing army.

But today's Qing army seems to be different from the past, in the face of such huge casualties, but they simply did not pay attention, mixed with many young people and old men The team continued to sweep towards the camp of the Ming army.

More than a dozen camps of the new army's guards encountered a surprise attack by the Qing army, and a large number of Ming troops slowly advanced to the front. The artillery units, which had been prepared for siege warfare, had to retreat back to the rear camp and began to fire heavily in the direction of the Qing army.

Finally, the Qing army with a body of fireworks and fireworks, like a huge wave crashed into the camp of the Ming army, the dead soldiers in front of them did not pay attention to the breath of death brought by the Rulin spear, but rushed up without blinking, and used their bodies to block the spear's thorns.

The accumulation of layers of corpses suddenly raised the offensive line of the Qing army a lot, and some sturdy soldiers took advantage of it and immediately jumped in from the wooden fence. Their aim was to cut down the pikemen who were defending the walls and open the breach. But the sword and shield hands in the rear of the Ming army rushed up and blocked it tightly, these Qing soldiers were lonely after all, like rain falling into the ocean, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Block! Obstruct! The guards were in their respective camps, and where the Tartars broke in, Lao Tzu asked for his head! ”

Zhang Yaoxian fortunately took off the heavy armor on his body, and reached out to snatch a steel knife with a ghost head from his own soldiers. "I, Zhang Yaoxian, will stay here, and the Tartars will break into the camp from then on, and Lao Tzu will kill himself with a horizontal knife and ask His Highness for guilt with his head!"

As he spoke, he broke free from the guards of his own soldiers, squeezed straight from the layers of human walls to the wall, and returned to a hundred years to cut off the arm of a Qing soldier soldier, and stabbed a soldier with a ghost head knife outward, and sprayed the blood, internal organs and other things brought out when the knife was collected.

Zhang Yaoxian's deputy was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and by the time he came to his senses, Zhang Yaoxian had already burrowed into the crowd. I only heard his voice still shouting: "If Lao Tzu dies in battle, he will be replaced by the commander of the capital, notify the grenadiers, and use the strength of the milk to throw the grenade out for me and cut off the queue of the Qing army!" ”

The deputy was also the commander of the first guard, and when he heard Zhang Yaoxian's shout, he was stunned, and then stomped his foot fiercely, "Why are you still stunned, didn't you hear the adult's orders?" Grenadier, give it to me! ”

At the sound of the order, the grenadiers behind the sword and shield hands pounced, shook their hands, and all the black iron bumps that were smoking flew up in the sky, and they were all thrown towards the Qing army dozens of paces away. The Qing soldiers and soldiers could not avoid it at all, and in front of the entire Ming army camp, it was crowded with bannermen, domestic slaves, and infantry armor from all departments of the Eight Banners, and even the vests were congested two hundred steps away.
