The choking smell of gunpowder wafted everywhere, and there was a bloody smell of blood in it, and in the hot sun, an indescribable smell filled everyone's nostrils.

The battlefield was littered with corpses and wounded soldiers, many of whom were covered in blood and flesh, just rolling on the ground and screaming loudly.

One by one the shield carts were pushed up, at this time Dolgon has also used all his strength, he while drawing troops to attack desperately, while pushing the remaining shield carts onto the battlefield, the facts have proved that no matter how many layers of armor the soldiers wear are not much use, the only weapon to deal with the Yingzhou army's guns is those thick skin and thick shield carts. So whether it was a shield cart, a cart or a cart, they were all driven to the battlefield by Dolgon's order, and many Qing soldiers hid behind the cart and pushed the cart forward step by step.

Under the command of Zhao Yongxin, more than 100 six-pounder guns and dozens of twelve-pounder guns kept pouring tongues of fire and spewing heavy shells out of the barrels.

With a loud bang, an iron pellet hit a shield cart from afar, causing the shield cart to be torn apart and sawdust flying. The more than a dozen Qing soldiers behind the shield cart were already frightened and fled when they saw the shells coming.

But then a scream rang out, and when the projectile penetrated the shield car, it stirred up countless wood chips and fragments of various sizes, killing and injuring several Qing soldiers in the vicinity from afar. There was even an unarmored Qing soldier who was hit by sawdust, and his body and face were covered with sharp wooden thorns, and he was drenched in blood and was knocked to the ground. The auxiliary soldier couldn't die for a while, but just rolled on the ground and screamed miserably, looking extremely miserable.

"Reloading ammunition...... Put! ”

"Aim for the Tartar shield car, put!"

All the gunners on the wall were sweating profusely at this time, many of them took off their clothes and armor and loaded their ammunition bare-chested, and many of the loaders were not even aware of the sparks splattered by the sparks that were fired from the artillery, and at this time they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to shoot the cannon out as quickly as possible.

At a time when the battle was raging. Suddenly, someone ran to report to Yue Yang: "Master Hou, the temperature of the artillery is too high, Lord Zhao has suspended the firing!" ”

"What? The artillery temperature is too high! Yue Yang, who was nervously directing the battle, was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the artillery on the wall had been fighting for almost an hour, and the temperature of the artillery must be very high, although it can also be used to cool down the artillery by pouring cold water, but the consequence of this is that it will greatly reduce the service life of the artillery, if you really want to forcibly cool down, I am afraid that these artillery will have to be reheated after this battle, and Yue Yang looked at the battlefield in front of him, and he knew that the temperature of the Minnie-style firearm in the hands of the foot soldier after fighting for so long must also be very high.

Pondered for a moment. Yue Yang ordered: "Order the artillery battalion to suspend the shelling, and the catapults will start throwing fire oil bombs in front of the formation."

"Yes!"

With Yue Yang's order, dozens of small catapults that had already arrived behind the phalanx began to get busy. Next to a catapult, a gunner picked up a canister-like object the size of a small bucket and carefully placed it on a pallet, then quickly left.

The cannon commander next to him shouted: "Fire!" ”

The gunner next to him pulled the rope, and under the action of the lever, the canister-shaped object quickly flew into the air, drew an arc and fell to a place a hundred steps away, and the canister fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "pop". The thin wall of the tank cracked, and a large black liquid quickly splashed out, and the bodies of more than a dozen Qing soldiers around were more or less stained with these viscous liquids.

"Immortal God, what is this?"

The sudden attack took these Qing troops by surprise. The black, pungent smell immediately reminded them of something.

"Kerose!"

"No, it's fire oil!"

Some of the Qing soldiers who knew the goods immediately shouted, with irrepressible panic in their voices.

Soon, with the shouts of these people. Fireballs also flew from the sky with a scorching firelight, and the gunners wrapped the ignited cotton wool around the stones with catapults, and soon all the people and objects around them were contaminated with those black liquids. Thick black smoke began to fill the sky.

"Ah......h

"Who's going to help me, help me put out this fire, help me ......"

"Come and save me!"

As the fireballs and jars continued to fall and crack, the black liquid kept splashing, each jar weighed about ten catties, and the liquid inside splashed everywhere after the jar broke, and these liquids were actually not the fire oil that Qing soldiers said, but a simple version of the incendiary bomb made by Yue Yang from modern time and space with gasoline, potassium chlorate and sugar mixed in a certain proportion. Compared with pure gasoline, the power of this incendiary bomb is not the same, not only the combustion value and burning time greatly exceed the gasoline, but also compared to the gasoline is too poisonous, countless Qing soldiers were splashed around the paste liquid stained, once the paste liquid is stained with the human body, it will be firmly attached to the human body, the more it is beaten, the larger the burning area, many Qing soldiers are on fire after the body is unbearable because of the pain, and hope to use the way to roll to extinguish the fire on the body, As a result, they turned themselves into a Burning Man, and not only that, but they also turned countless of their companions who tried to help them into the same Burning Man.

"Smack...... Bang bang ......"

When the fire had burned to a certain extent, the gunners of the artillery battalion stopped throwing the fire, but concentrated on throwing the canisters filled with the paste in all directions, and in less than two quarters of an hour they formed a sea of death at a distance of about 70 to 120 paces in front of the infantry phalanx, and in this death zone, thousands of Qing soldiers were wailing and struggling in the flames. These soldiers, who had always firmly believed that they could conquer the world with the war knives in their hands and the war horses under their hips, only then did they realize that they were so vulnerable and powerless in the face of raging flames.

The ferocious flames woke up the Qing army, which had already fallen into madness, and the Qing soldiers, who were lucky not to be burned, looked at the burning people and the charred corpses with fright. Yue Tuo, Engetu, Buyandai, Du Du and the others, who were originally commanding the frantic charge of the troops, looked at the thick black smoke and the sky-high crowd with frightened faces, and this kind of flame beyond their imagination drained all their courage at once.

Even Dolgon, who was nicknamed "Morgen Dai Qing", just stared blankly at the flames and kept muttering, "How is this possible...... How could there be such a ferocious fire. ”

In fact, it was not only the Qing army who was stunned, but even the firecrackers in the infantry phalanx on the side and the soldiers of the artillery battalion of the initiator were also stunned, they stopped throwing canisters and looked ahead. Where, countless running humanoid torches and burning enemies were letting out inhuman screams, leaving them stunned to see such a sight. Many people stretched out their hands in confusion, unable to believe that this kind of tragedy was created by themselves.

Bursts of smoke wafted around the battlefield with a strange and somewhat greasy smell, reaching the nostrils of many people, but all those who smelled this fragrance felt their stomachs churning, and many people could no longer bear the tumbling of their stomachs, and they all bent down and vomited out the contents of their stomachs.

"Wow......"

Yue Yang was holding on to a wooden pillar next to him, and there was a pile of vomit on the ground, this smell even he, the initiator, couldn't stand it, let alone the people next to him, and many gunners from the artillery battalion on the wall and the Chahar herdsmen who came to help also joined the vomit.

It was finally Yue Yang who stopped vomiting, and at this time he had already emptied all the contents of his stomach.

The fire continues to burn. This death zone, which was only a few dozen paces, firmly blocked the Qing army from the outside, and no Qing soldier could pass through this fire net.

This group finally woke up many people in the Qing army, as the oldest Da Baylor in the Qing Dynasty today, Dai Shan said to Dolgon with a wry smile: "Old Fourteen, stop, we lost this battle!" ”

"How is this possible...... How can it be! Dolgon gritted his teeth, his expression suddenly fierce and confused, and he muttered, "Isn't this Yingzhou army already running out of ammunition and food?" How could there be such a cruel thing, and if so, why didn't they take it out before? ”

Looking at Dolgon, who had a confused look in his eyes. Dai Shan was in a hurry, he grabbed Dolgon's collar and slapped him and shouted: "Old Fourteen, I don't care if you want to get through it now, the most important thing for us now is to withdraw our troops immediately." Otherwise, when the Yingzhou army reflects it, we just want to leave, and we can't go! ”

A sharp pain came from his face, and Dolgon gradually came back to his senses, which had only been stunned by the sudden blow, and when his sanity gradually returned.

He shook his head vigorously and nodded, "Second brother is right. We have to withdraw our troops, and we must withdraw to Shengjing immediately, otherwise we won't be able to leave until the Yingzhou army surrounds our camp! ”

Dorgon's words sound ridiculous at first glance. Now although the Qing army has suffered a heavy blow, but the strength still exists, not to mention the number of people, there are still seventy or eighty thousand, and the Yingzhou army and the Chahar tribe on the opposite side are less than 40,000 people and horses, and it is simply a fool's dream to encircle the Qing army of 70,000 or 80,000 horses, but this is the case, and now even Dolgon, Daishan and others have to admit it

Yingzhoujun really has the strength to eat himself.

After thinking about this, a series of orders were immediately sent out from the main formation, and dozens of Goshha with Dolgon and Daishan jointly ordered the Qing army to be transferred back with a large number of burned faces.

"Retreat, retreat as soon as the Yingzhou army is stopped by the fire!"

The Qing soldiers, who had been frightened by everyone, all began to run back desperately after receiving the order to retreat, and countless Qing soldiers withdrew in the direction of their own camp under the leadership of the generals.

The actions of the Qing army were all seen by the officers and soldiers of the Yingzhou army, and they wanted to pursue, but they sighed with joy, and the fire net that had firmly protected them just now became an obstacle to prevent them from pursuing, which can be described as this time and that time.

I don't know when Hu Laosan also came to Yue Yang's side and sighed lightly: "Alas...... It's a pity, if you can chase after it at this time, you will definitely be able to hit the Tartar hard. ”

Yue Yang stared at the Qing army who was hastily retreating in the distance, shook his head lightly, and sneered: "You don't have to be a pity, there are still battles, it's not so easy for the Tartars to run, you immediately order Wu Chengfeng to let him clean up the battlefield, and then let Bart lead people to bury the corpse, now that the weather is starting to get hot, once the plague occurs before the burial, it will be troublesome." Tell Wuqing again, let him count the casualties and material losses, and report to me before dinner today! ”

"Yes!"

Hu Laosan hurried away, Yue Yang also felt tired all over his body, he drove a forklift to carry hundreds of tons of materials last night, and today he commanded a half-day battle, even if he was as strong as he felt a little unable to hold on. After hurriedly explaining to the people next to him, he returned to the tent and lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and was not woken up by Chen Dazhi until dinner.

"Master Hou...... Hou Ye...... Empress Doro is out asking to see her! ”

Sitting up in a daze, wiping his eyes, Yue Yang answered and motioned for people to come in.

Soon, Namu Zhong, who was happy, walked in quickly, and as soon as Chen Dazhi left, she threw herself into Ailang's arms, hugged Ailang's face and kissed her desperately, while kissing tears came out of her eyes.

Facing the excited Namu Zhong, Yue Yang understood her mood very well. She was already determined to die, she first saw Ailang appear, and then defeated the Qing army, and her mood was so up and down in one day, if she changed someone with a bad heart, I am afraid she would have to fall.

After venting the excitement in his heart, Namu Zhong threw himself into Ailang's arms and said coquettishly: "You dead man is finally willing to get up, but the captain of your personal soldiers has kept me out for two hours, if you don't get up again, I will lead the troops to kill me." ”

How could Yue Yang not know what Namu Zhong meant, she was blaming herself for treating her as an outsider, smiled lightly, stroked Namu Zhong's hair and said, "Dazhi is also his duty." Don't blame him, I'll talk about him later. ”

"Hmm!" Namu Zhong is also taking the opportunity to be coquettish, but this seems to be a woman's nature, no matter how old a woman is. As long as they are with their own men, they all like to be coquettish, even Namu Zhong, a who is seven or eight years older than Yue Yang.

patting Namu Zhong's round and straight buttocks, Yue Yang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go eat first." I'll be with you when I've arranged things for tomorrow! ”

"Hmm!"

Namu Zhong also knew that she had just finished a big battle, and her lover still had a lot to deal with, and she also got up very well-behaved. After helping Yue Yang tidy up his clothes, he followed Yue Yang out like a virtuous little daughter-in-law......

After eating dinner, Yue Yang immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military situation, looking at the officers in the big tent, a wave of pride surged in Yue Yang's heart, he first looked around the faces of everyone with bright eyes before he said loudly: "Brothers, today is a great day for our Yingzhou army, because we have defeated the invincible Qing army, and from now on we can proudly say to anyone that the Tartars are not a big deal, because they are our defeated men!" ”

"Good!"

All the generals shouted in unison.

Yue Yang continued: "Today, the Tartars left a full thirty or forty thousand corpses in front of us, it can be said that today we have knocked out the soul of the Tartars, and from now on they will only have to take a detour when they see our Yingzhou army!" ”

"Good!"

The generals shouted in unison, and everyone's faces showed excitement. The army is a monster that needs to be constantly fed with victory, and they are hungry for glory more than anyone else.

Yue Yang waved his hand and motioned for the generals to calm down, "Now that the Tartars have been defeated, who will guess the future movements of the Tartars?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Chengfeng immediately stood up and hugged his fist at Yue Yang and said loudly: "Master Hou, the last general thinks that the Tartars have been greatly injured in this defeat, although they are still far superior to us in number but have lost their courage, and after seeing the power of our army's fire and oil bombs, they will definitely not stick to the camp, so the last general boldly guesses that the Tartars will definitely retreat overnight tonight!" ”

After Wu Chengfeng finished speaking, Hu Laosan also stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Master Hou, the last general seconded General Wu's words." ”

"The last general seconded it!"

"The last general seconded it!"

Seeing that the lieutenant generals seconded the proposal, Yue Yang nodded with satisfaction, it seems that after several years of tempering, the abilities of these generals have gradually grown. In Yue Yang's view, no one is born to fight, the so-called famous generals are all fought, and some people may say how good Yue Fei, Xu Da, Huo Quzhi, Chen Tang and others are, almost natural generals. But this is only an example after all, there is not a single such general in the 5,000-year-old civilization of China for a few hundred years, and most of the generals have gradually grown up through one battle after another.

"Ben Hou thinks so too." A smile appeared on Yue Yang's face, "Since the Tartars have suffered such a big loss and have seen the power of our firearms, then they will never stay in this undefended grassland and fight with us, so the withdrawal of troops is inevitable, and what we need to pay attention to now is how to take this opportunity to sprinkle a handful of salt on their wounds." ”

Hearing this, everyone also groaned, after so many years of fighting, everyone also knew that although the Tartars had lost the battle, but now there are at least seventy or eighty thousand horses, with the current strength of the Yingzhou army to want to annihilate the remaining men and horses is unrealistic, after all, the mobility of the Tartars is stronger than the Yingzhou army, and as the largest number of firecrackers in the Yingzhou army, all are infantry, let the infantry pursue the cavalry It is a joke, but if the cavalry is sent to pursue, but I am afraid that the Tartars will kill the horse pistol, and then it will be a joke if the meat is not eaten but will be beaten. Whether to chase or not to chase is a question.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but groan...... (To be continued......)
