The rumbling cannon began to appear, and Du Du watched as the Ming army in front of him suddenly disappeared, not disappearing, but taking the initiative to evacuate, and just before he understood why, explosions and screams appeared at the same time.

The official road is not particularly wide, and the sky is snowing heavily, and thick snow has begun to appear on the ground, so in this case, the army should be advancing along the official road, and the pits on both sides of the official road and other seemingly indifferent places are actually dangerous, and it is easy to hurt the horse's hooves and legs.

The Eight Banners sergeants concentrated on the official road became the best bombing target for artillery, and any shell that fell would produce a large number of casualties.

Blood and snow mix to create a bizarre and bloody picture.

Du Du had already found that the big thing was not good, and at this time, what he needed to take care of was the entire army.

The order to retreat was quickly issued, thinking that it was impossible to attack Baoding City, and it would be God to evacuate all the troops in the shortest possible time.

The nearest shell exploded less than ten meters away from Dudu, and he saw with his own eyes the detached sergeants who had been blown up, and also saw the sergeants around him fall in pieces in the fire.

Cannonballs don't have long eyes, but it won't be because Du Du is the identity of Lord Belle.

Du Du, who was red-eyed, shouted loudly at the soldiers and many officers around him in the sound of artillery fire, asking them to immediately organize the orderly withdrawal of the army.

It was not so easy to evacuate, the shells fell in all directions of the team, especially in the first and last two places, although the combat discipline of the Houjin Tartars was good, but they were also dizzy by the shells, and they did not know which direction to evacuate.

Zheng Xunrui held a telescope and quietly watched everything on the battlefield. Because of the snowflakes, he couldn't see very clearly, but he could still hear the dense cannon sound and screams.

Put down the binoculars. Zheng Xunrui smiled and spoke to Hong Xinyu beside him.

"Hong Xinyu, the artillery battalion is very good, as long as they hold on for a while, the Houjin Tartars will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Young master, my subordinates still feel that they are relieved by fighting face-to-face."

"Hong Xinyu. Although you have always been by my side, but you are also the deputy chief soldier of the Zheng family, this understanding must be changed, the purpose of fighting is to achieve victory, as for what means to use, there is no need to investigate, face-to-face fighting is indeed very enjoyable, but also can make the opponent afraid and submit, and can show the courage of the soldiers, but that is under the premise of paying great sacrifices. You should remember the battle of Fuzhou, the Zheng family army also paid a heavy price, and you have also seen today's battle, the Houjin Tartars have not even been able to get close to the army, they have already paid heavy casualties, in comparison, the role of the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion should not be underestimated. ”

Hong Xinyu nodded, lowered his head and stopped talking, as far as he was concerned, it was difficult to change this kind of understanding. Just imagine, the soldiers of the Zheng family army did not need to charge and fight, and with artillery and Mauser guns, they let the opponent fail. I always felt that something was missing, and if the battle could go on like this, then what else would the cavalry do.

Du Du's eyes became redder and redder, and he pushed away the surrounding soldiers and began to personally direct the evacuation.

Despite the unusually heavy artillery fire, the casualties of the large army were very heavy. But it is still necessary to withdraw from Qiliping, the artillery is cumbersome, and the firing distance is also limited, only by leaving the radius of the artillery firing, the army can get rid of such a passive situation, otherwise after a long time, the sergeants who are dizzy by the artillery will definitely collapse.

The arquebus that can be fired in rain and snow, and the powerful cannonballs that can bloom on the ground, these are the first times Du Du has seen them, and at this moment he no longer knows what these powerful firearms mean, what he wants is to lead the army to evacuate the danger zone as soon as possible.

Under Du Du's personal command, the slightly flustered sergeants calmed down a lot, they followed behind Du Du, braved the artillery fire and began to retreat to the back, although the artillery fire in front was extremely fierce, although many brothers were bombed on their backs, but they still rushed forward, if they could not rush out, the casualties would be greater.

Some of the wounded war horses were quickly moved to the side, or even pushed away directly, the ground had long been unable to see the slightest snow, everywhere was flowing blood, streams of heat rose from the ground, and the snowflakes could not even fall to the ground, and in the place close to the ground, they were melted by the rising heat.

Dudu, under the escort of his own soldiers, first rushed out of the range that the shells could cover.

It's also strange, although so many shells continue to fall and explode, but they didn't hurt Du Du, but a few of Du Du's own soldiers were hit by the cannonballs and ascended to the sky, or they were directly overturned by the powerful air waves, and blood spurted out of their mouths, no one paid attention to this situation, and withdrawing the range covered by the shells was the best way to save their lives.

Zheng Xunrui's face showed a slightly surprised look.

"Herald, order Zheng Jinhong to attack immediately, the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Tartars is not something that the Han army can compare, if the Han army suffered such a bombardment, it would have collapsed a long time ago, and the Houjin Tartars were able to grit their teeth and withdraw from the range that the shells could cover, it seems that they can't wait for the Houjin Tartars to collapse."

The herald quickly got on his horse, at this time the flag was no longer of much effect, the snowflakes were getting denser and denser, and the flag raised would soon be covered by snowflakes, so it was better to convey the order directly.

"Yang He, lead the scout battalion and cavalry battalion of two thousand soldiers, extremely kill or capture Du Du alive, you remember, you can't let Du Du escape, even if you pay a certain amount of casualties, you have to complete the task."

Yang He clasped his fists and saluted.

"The subordinates will definitely complete the task."

The soldiers of the scout battalion and cavalry battalion led by Yang He are all soldiers who were previously organized as reserves, because the tasks of the battle are different, the soldiers led by Yang He will not directly participate in the fight, they will keep an eye on the opponent's commander, and directly capture or kill the opponent's commander with a strong offensive mode.

Yang He has become accustomed to this way of fighting, and almost every battle, whether it is facing the Houjin Tartars or facing the Liukou, he undertakes such a combat mission.

Zheng Jinhong also found that the situation was not right, although there was a short period of chaos in the Houjin Tartars, there was no collapse, on the contrary, after a short period of chaos, the Houjin Tartars quickly adjusted the queue under the artillery fire, the former army became the rear army, the rear army became the front army, and the evacuation towards the rear was evacuated, and the scene of the evacuation of the Houjin Tartars looked a little chaotic, and the range covered by the artillery of the artillery battalion focused on the front and rear of the Houjin Tartars team, the purpose was to prevent the Houjin Tartars from getting out of the range covered by the artillery.

I have to say that Du Du still has a very good command ability, and he can make up his mind at critical moments without showing panic, which is a crucial ability of a commander.

Just when part of the Houjin Tartars had already withdrawn from the artillery coverage, Zheng Jinhong couldn't help it, he thought of launching an attack at this moment, but at this moment he couldn't give the order to attack, the artillery battalion was still attacking, if the army attacked, it could also be hit by artillery fire, and the time when the cavalry battalion really started to attack was the time when the artillery battalion stopped attacking.

When he saw the herald coming on horseback, Zheng Jinhong knew that the time for the attack had come.

Sure enough, the rumbling cannon disappeared in an instant, and the tranquility between heaven and earth was restored, and at this moment it was filled with the loud ** of the Houjin Tartar and the mournful roar of the war horse.

When the cannonade stopped, Du Du instinctively shouted out the words that the whole army was ready to fight, and he knew that when the cannonade stopped, it should be the time for the Ming army to attack.

Du Du looked down on the Ming army in his heart, thinking that the Ming army was vulnerable, and all of them were afraid of death, such a sergeant could not have any combat effectiveness when combined, just in the past half an hour, the army encountered the attack of arquebuses and the bombardment of artillery, the losses must have been heavy, but the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners warriors is still there, even if the Ming army attacks, the Eight Banners warriors can also fight bravely to kill the enemy, and when they fight face to face, the Ming army is defeated.

The rumbling drum sounded, and the soldiers instantly gathered around Du Du, and the sergeant holding the handsome flag hugged the flag tightly.

Red appeared in all directions, and it was a certain rapid red.

Earth-shattering shouts of killing appeared.

When Du Du looked around, his body couldn't help but tremble, he felt the murderous aura for the first time, this murderous aura did not come from the Eight Banner Warriors, but from the charging Ming army, gathered at such a distance, he could feel the murderous aura, what kind of army is this.

At this moment, Du Du suddenly thought of Huang Taiji's advice: Zheng Jiajun.

Zheng Jiajun once defeated the army led by Duoduo, Azig and Abatai, and captured Azig and Abatai alive respectively, if Abatai was captured alive by Zheng Jiajun for the first time, it can still be said to be negligent, but the second time Azig was captured alive, and Duoduo, the prince of Yu at that time, was almost captured alive, which cannot be said to be accidental.

Huang Taiji was most worried about Zheng Jiajun.

Could it be that the army led by himself entered the ambush circle of the Zheng family's army.

The figures of Duoduo, Azig and Abatai appeared quickly, Du Du suddenly had a feeling of despair all the time, and there were many unsolvable doubts in front of him, at this time, it seemed that all of them could figure it out, why the large-scale Ming army could fall from the sky, why they were not afraid of the Eight Banners Army at all, and dared to fight face to face, why the Ming army could show a murderous aura that soared into the sky.

Dudu raised the spear in his hand.

"Brothers, kill, Batunu with eight banners is invincible in the world......" (To be continued.) )
