Although Zhu Yongxing never said that the Sky Bombardment Cannon had any magic blessings, in the face of such a great power and such a good effect, almost all the people in the Ming army who knew the Yang Gate Array and the Yin × Gate Array thought that this cannon had a magic circle made by Zhu Yongxing.

This is based on the understanding of that era, and some accidental factors will be exaggerated, and they will become more and more realistic and mysterious in circulation. For example, if the artillery is not accurate, or the chamber is blown up, it is actually likely that the gunner's psychological effect has led to the abnormal performance. Of course, there may have been other reasons that would have been explained by mystery and witchcraft without an in-depth study of the causes of the accident at the time.

The Ming army was stagnant in front of the camp, but Xian Guoan and others were overjoyed, thinking that they had used the magic array properly and were tired of winning the law, and finally stopped the momentum of the enemy's attack.

And Bai Wenxuan's analysis and judgment also have a certain truth. The first weight of the bombardment cannon was sudden and shocking, and the Qing army was already prepared, and the effect was naturally greatly reduced. Even if the cavalry rushed into the camp, it was no more free than galloping in the field, and the losses in battle against the large number of Qing troops may not be small. In addition, there is the rest of the manpower, and the disgust of the magic circle, and his decision to postpone the attack cannot but be said to be quite correct.

At this time, Zhu Yongxing was already leading the infantry on the way. It's not that he knew the situation encountered here in advance, but that he felt that it was too conservative to sit back and wait for the news from Bai Wenxuan's cavalry.

Now that he had been given a general idea of what was ahead of him through the interrogation of the captives, he felt that it was important to hurry up. The Qing army would definitely not have thought that the camp set up would be vulnerable, and the speed of the Ming army's pursuit was so fast, wasn't it just the time to chase after them, while their minds were shaken, and beat them down?

And the 1,000 strong soldiers led by the lord of the Mengshan Ke village, Yang and Luo Bu, and the 1,000 native soldiers led by the Tusi Dao Bailong also rushed to help in the battle, which ignited Zhu Yongxing's fighting spirit. Originally, the two clans took out some of their men and horses to harass and attack the Qing army along the way, but Zhu Yongxing felt that they had paid a lot, so he did not let them send troops to fight again. But the victory of the Ming army seemed to be unstoppable, and these two alien teams naturally wanted to add icing on the cake and get more rewards from Zhu Yongxing.

After eating in the camp and resting for half an hour, if it weren't for Zhu Yongxing's worry that leaving after eating would make the soldiers suffer from appendicitis, he would have even used this rest time. Only 500 infantry were left in the camp to guard, and the rest of the men and horses were all dispatched, including Zhang Guoyong's hundreds of cavalry. A number of captives were added to the ranks of auxiliaries, and mixed ranks of mounted war elephants rolled forward.

At this time, the second group of infantry had already entered the camp and began to eat, that is, the disconnection of the infantry was not serious, there was only an interval of less than an hour. Moreover, this is no longer the decisive factor, Zhu Yongxing already has more than 3,000 infantry in his hands, and he has embarked on the road of decisive battle.

Victory is not far away, and there are many reasons for such results. The mutual restraint between Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan, a series of miscalculations of the actions and strength of the Ming army, contempt for Zhu Yongxing, ignorance of the severity of the rainy season in Yunnan, and Zhu Yongxing's tunnel infiltration and bombardment of the sky, all contributed to the inevitability of the Qing army's defeat.

At the current stage of pursuit, because of the power of the bombardment cannon, the retreat in Daniel Zhang's plan turned into a tail-end pursuit. According to the theory, Daniel Zhang's thirty-mile battalion kept retreating in a regular manner, but he never imagined that the Ming army could easily pull out the village by relying on the bombardment cannon, but it became eaten by the mouth of the Ming army.

The accidents continued to accumulate, and the most unshakable victory turned into an unshakable victory, but Line Guoan and Daniel Zhang did not realize that the catastrophe was coming. If they threw away most of the baggage and all the wounded and sick soldiers, and blocked them with a small number of armored soldiers and escorted the auxiliaries, and the rest of the horses retreated lightly, they would have been able to make many Qing troops escape.

But when it is not the time of true despair, who can make up the determination of a strong man to break his arm. In the final analysis, it was always the luck in the bottom of my heart that hurt them and the Qing army.

Circle? When Zhu Yongxing heard this word at first glance, he couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that he had traveled to not only ancient times, but also ancient times with fantasy colors?

After listening to the herald's report, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help sneering: "Chicken blood, dung juice, and what kind of broom are there, has Xian Guoan's head been kicked by a donkey?" ”

"Your Highness." Zhang Guo persuaded solemnly with a solemn face: "This method of hating guns and hating victory is not only a battle formation, but also a sword, a bell, and a pill, but also a hateful of filth and filth. ”

Zhu Yongxing looked at Zhang Guoyong a little strangely, and only after a while did he smile helplessly, thought about it, and said to the herald: "King Zhao's move is very correct, there are bird guns and artillery in the Han army, and there are many enemy troops in the camp, so you should be cautious in battle." Go back and tell the king of Zhao that he will cut down the trees and cut the thatch for the purpose of building a tent. Also, if possible, make a few improvised catapults. When our army arrives, we will attack together. Then tell Qian Bangchen to survey the artillery position first, and advance twenty or thirty meters more than usual. If it rains, immediately erect a rain shelter on the artillery position, which should be long and wide, and be sure to keep the cannons and shells so that they do not become ineffective in the rain. ”

The herald repeated it, and Shi Li took the order and left. Zhang Guoyong blinked his eyes and reminded: "If Your Highness wants to build a tent, do you need incense, candles, magic utensils and other things?" ”

Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said in his heart: "What about returning the magic weapon, I really thought that I would learn from Zhuge Liang, and I will go crazy with my hair scattered!" That's right, Lao Tzu has short hair, and there is no way to spread it if he wants to. This guy, can't you see the sky and hear the rumbling and rolling thunder in the distance? The tent was built to protect the cannon from the rain.

The bombardment cannons and shells were wrapped in several layers of oilcloth, and Zhu Yongxing also asked people to prepare some cloth bags filled with quicklime as a measure to prevent moisture. If nothing else, with a canopy, the Sky Cannon should be able to continue firing. But for the Qing army, the role of bird guns and artillery will be greatly reduced, after all, they have no special way to prevent moisture.

Moreover, during the rainy season, the firearms of the Qing army played little role. When retreating, I probably didn't expect to use these firearms.

Putting the artillery out, it's probably to scare people, right? Zhu Yongxing guessed like this, but he still liked the Han Army's bird guns. I heard that the high-quality domestic firearms were forbidden to equip the green battalion because of their power, and they were only available in the troops of the hardcore traitors of King Sanshun and Wu Sangui.

As for the comparison between the bird gun and the musket currently used by the Ming army, Zhu Yongxing has not had time to carefully compare and study. I only took a cursory look at the captured Bird Gun and felt that the Bird Gun had a long barrel, but the caliber was a little thinner than the arquebus, and it was estimated that the range was longer, but the power may be slightly less.
