Zheng Jun's camp was built on the Jingjiang River embankment, and it was generally in a zigzag semi-circular layout, thus enclosing most of the Shatou town. Because Shatou City is a commercial port with a large number of lakes, the town area is not inferior to Jingzhou City, and the wall set up by Zheng Jun is also quite long, totaling about 22 miles.

At the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, one hundred and eighty zhang was one mile, and according to the effective killing distance of the rifle, the shortest part of the Zheng army was set up every twenty zhang and the widest part every thirty zhang, and there were 110 horse face forts of similar size in the whole section.

The fort was divided into two levels, the upper floor of which was smaller and had a gun squadron equipped with two- or three-inch guns and a low wall against guns. Under the gentle slope of half a man is the larger second floor, this floor is arranged with an infantry team and two white soldiers, if you count the commander-in-chief, sentinel staff, the whole Mamian Fort has a garrison of 130 people, and an artillery piece. In addition, there is a boom at each of the four corners of the Horse Face Fort, and there is a simple stone thrower made of bamboo and wood at the place facing the Qing army camp, which is used to shoot grass fireballs at night.

In addition to the Mamian Fort, Zheng Jun also set up another sentry tower outside the pointed wooden pile array on the inner side of the earthen wall, and each sentry tower was stationed in one squad of foot soldiers, and two to three sentry towers were placed between the two Mamian Forts. Zheng Jun also opened a gatekeeper every three or three miles, a total of seven, and each gatekeeper was stationed with a separate regiment of garrisons.

The total number of front-line defenders was about 18,000, and there were more than 6,000 rotating reserves in some adjacent sections, while more than 6,000 people from the division's baggage, middle base, and general reserve were on standby in Shatou City. The remaining new annexes also surrendered their weapons, and were mainly engaged in civilian tasks such as transporting and cleaning up the battlefield.

On the evening of June 26 in the first year of Baokang, the Zheng army lost a total of 624 officers and men, 402 seriously wounded, and more than 1,000 lightly wounded.

Of course, the losses of the Qing army on this day were even heavier, and after dawn the next day, the new annex army incarnated as a clean-up team cleaned out more than 2,500 corpses and 400 light and serious wounded from and outside the earthen wall.

It seems that because the casualties were too heavy, the morale of the Qing army was so heavy that after receiving the casualties, the Qing army did not move further for two consecutive days. But both warring sides know that the ceasefire at this time is only a brief intermission, and that the next large-scale fighting could be relapsed at any time.

On June 29, a thunderstorm dominated the entire war zone, just after noon, the rain turned lighter, and before the Zheng army could take shelter from the rain, the Qing army, which had disappeared for several days, reappeared in the sight of the Zheng army sentry.

As the alarm bell rang, tens of thousands of Zheng soldiers who were waiting for their pillows returned to their respective combat positions.

"Fire!" Seeing the unscrupulous Qing army slowly pressing down in the wind and rain, or the leader of the Zheng army's artillery team with disdain or anger on his face, the roaring artillery suddenly gave unprecedented damage to the Qing army advancing in a dense formation.

The jaw-dropping Qing officers and soldiers never imagined that the Zheng army's artillery could actually fire in the wind and rain, but they still followed the instructions of the Shangguan and stepped on the pond and the soft ground in unison.

In fact, the wind and rain still significantly reduced the effectiveness of Zheng Jun's firearms. Among them, the artillery is a little better, the Zheng army artillery with cannon masks and fire door covers can still maintain a firing rate of more than 70% in the storm, and now that the wind and rain are gradually stopping, ten and nine cannons can be fired. However, the rifle gun is different, although the flint rifle gun equipped by the Zheng army's infantry team is far more resistant to wind and rain than the arquebus gun used by the Qing army, but it is nothing more, increasing the dumb fire rate of more than 30%, and at the moment when the short army is about to be connected, it is conceivable that it has also caused a rather adverse impact on the Zheng army.

Fortunately, Zheng Jun's rifle can still be used, but the bird gun and bow and arrow equipped by the Qing army cannot. The Qing army, which had directly degenerated into hand-to-hand combat savages, could only rely on hand-to-hand combat after climbing to the top of the city to find the only slim chance of success. But this was obviously something that the Zheng army would not give lightly, so the Qing army could only climb up to the Mamian Fort again and again in vain, and was driven down from the heights again and again.

"These traitors have learned to be obedient." After easily sweeping a Qing soldier who had climbed up the ladder with a full home run, Gu Minfeng wiped his face and wiped away the rain or Han water or blood from his eyes, while scolding with a smile. "I even brought a short ladder to come from the earthen wall."

"But it's useless after all." On the side, his fellow countryman Hao Yi grinned in help. "Don't look at it, even the infantry team has switched to stabbing people with guns." Hao Yi said that he was up, and he picked up a sky-shaking thunder and threw it directly as a stone without igniting it, hitting the head of an unlucky Qing army, and smashing it from the ladder into the sharp stake array. "But it's okay to come, the master is worried that he has no military merits to advance, so he will borrow the head of the elder brother."

"What so much nonsense." The squad leader who listened to the laughter on the side scolded while exhaling his strength, and a red tassel gun pierced the door of the Qing army who had just probed like a poisonous snake, and immediately picked it down, taking advantage of the gap in the force, the squad leader scolded. "Keep an eye on it, there are also traitors with high combat skills."

Of course, there are many good hands in the Qing army who used cold weapons, no, there is a person here who climbs up with a shield, and when he shows his head, he covers his face and upper body with a shield, and Zheng Jun has not forced him down the ladder several times with several spurts and heavy blows.

Seeing that this person was about to successfully ascend to the Horse Face Fort, the foot soldier who had been shooting at the neighboring horse face fort aimed his weapon at the person, but there was no reaction at the first time he deducted it. Just as the infantryman, who was clearly a recruit, hurriedly raised his hammer, a loud bang exploded in his ears, but a returning veteran made up for the blow, piercing the shield in the hands of the Qing army and striking a huge bullet hole in his chest.

Before the recruit had time to thank the veteran, he saw the veteran pick up the handle of the gun and hit the person's skull with a blow, and someone who staggered and refused to fall to the ground finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell backwards in a dejected manner, knocking down the green battalion soldier who followed behind him.

The recruit complimented the veteran: "Just this martial art, at least it is a thousand presidents." ”

"What martial arts are strong, what is Qianzong?" The veteran spat disdainfully. "No matter how powerful it is, it can't compare to the guy in our hands, okay, don't be stupid, check what the reason is that it can't be beaten, get it right, and continue to clean up the traitors." The recruit answered, scrambling to check his weapon, while the veteran quickly reloaded, and then re-aimed at the opposite wall and fired a shot. "This is the twelfth today"

The rain disappeared into the atmosphere unconsciously, and the Qing army, which was originally afraid of Zheng Jun's sharp firearms, suddenly lost the will to fight when they saw that the rain had stopped, and they did not wait for the gong to sound in the rear to withdraw troops, and turned their heads and ran away one by one.

The Qing army under the earthen wall and the horse-faced fort could easily pull their legs and run, but those who climbed the ladder and those who had already climbed the earthen wall sat down. I saw that many people jumped down from the ladder or the earthen wall in a panic, and the lucky ones fell to the corpses of their predecessors and smashed their heads dizzy, and the unlucky ones fell directly to the ground, although the soil at the bottom of the wall became very soft because of absorbing a lot of rain and blood, but it was still able to easily break the hands, feet and even necks of the green battalion soldiers who fell from a height.

"Damn it!" Shanahai looked at the deputy general of the Green Battalion who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily. "If you retreat without an order, you should all be beheaded to show the public." The commander-in-chief and the adjutant generals pleaded for forgiveness, and to tell the truth, although the Qing army had only suffered more than 20,000 casualties, almost all the bravest of the battalions had been swept away, and it was a fantasy to expect that the remaining 40,000 or so frightened men would burst out with 120 percent courage. "Why do you want to rebel?"

Shanahai knew the situation of the troops, and also knew the worries of the general and deputy generals, but his status could only let him be this villain, only to see Shanahai gently touch Nertu who was sitting next to him with his legs, and Nertu suddenly waved his hand: "The misery in the army, this king also knows, but if you don't rectify military discipline, you will definitely be defeated in the future." ”

Looking at the pale faces of the generals of the green battalion, Nertu picked up an arrow: "Those who withdraw without authorization wear arrows to the camp, and the commanders of each battalion fight for twenty to see the after-effects. ”

Because Nertu's punishment was very lenient, the general soldiers and deputy generals below were overjoyed one by one and were busy thanking Nartu. Nartu accepted it calmly, and waited until the commanders of the Green Flag had withdrawn, and then looked at Shanahai and Ananda with frightened eyes.

The Manchurian nobles present naturally knew what Nertu meant, and one of them, Bal Hu, who had been in trouble, said: "The green camp is unstable, should you transfer more soldiers from the Eight Banners in Jingzhou City to suppress it." ”

This construction is also decent, so Shanahai quickly agreed, but then Balhu said: "Now that the Green Battalion has been defeated, the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian Horse Team are sitting idly by, which will inevitably exacerbate the turmoil in the army's heart, but the Eight Banners Soldiers still have to suppress the Green Battalion and cannot be separated, whether to let the Mongolian Horse Team go straight to the passage once to see." ”

"It's impossible." The Mongol princes present were not fools, how could they accept this request for their lives. "The passage is narrow, only a few horses can pass, and the flags cannot be deployed, and the defenders of the fort cannot be threatened with bows and arrows, so if you charge the battle, you need the eight banners to play."

But how is this possible, if you really order the Eight Banners to attack, these old and young masters' spittle stars alone will drown Balhu. So after thinking about it, Shanahai and the others, who were poor in donkey skills, could only continue to sit in the siege, only waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the north, just like the Zheng army turned upside down and surrounded them
