Chapter 513: A Turning Point on the Battlefield

Sonny watched Agutai and the centaur team flip on their backs in an instant, stumps and broken arms flying with flesh and blood, and he was shocked to know that he had underestimated the Ming army, but he didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, it was clearly the Ming army's artillery firing scattered bullets. As for how this strange thing moved forward on its own, he couldn't figure it out just like the others, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. Just in the lightning and fire, how to deal with the surprise attack of the Ming army has already been figured out.

As long as the cannon is about to run out of ammunition, and looking at the size of this steel monster, how many shells can it hold? Therefore, as long as the first few cannons are carried hard, once their ammunition is exhausted, the Ming army will not be afraid. However, Sony is still palpitating, no wonder the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty can retreat so badly, and suddenly see this kind of monster that is difficult for ordinary people to explain in the dark night, naturally it will be associated with the body of the ghost god, so the previous sudden rout is also reasonable.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! It wasn't some ghost, it wasn't a celestial star, it was just a Ming army cannon placed in a few iron plates, and when their gunpowder and lead bullets ran out, it was a pile of scrap iron. ”

Sonny shouted loudly, and a person's voice would soon be drowned out in the noisy battlefield. But the armor soldiers around him shouted together when they were ordered, and they immediately echoed in the sky above the Qing army, and it really had the effect of stabilizing people's hearts. At this critical moment of life and death, the contradictions between the two yellow flags and the two white flags were left behind, although Sony was the minister in charge of the two yellow flags, but he was also the temporary commander of the entire Eight Banners army.

After receiving Sony's appeal, the armor soldiers with white flags turned to a defensive state, and some people even erected the planks in the camp to build ladders in front of the formation, trying to block the artillery of the Ming monsters.

Soni's appearance completely reversed the situation of the one-sided rout with the white flag, but his centaur team and Agutai were already unknown between the two armies, and only 12 out of 10 escaped. Sonny's death was extremely saddened, but the crockpot would inevitably break at the well, and it would inevitably be killed. He was killed in the battle between the two armies, and he deserved it, but this revenge could not be avenged, and the flames of hatred gradually overflowed his eye sockets.

"Report! General, the Qing army was extremely brave and actually withstood the attack of the grenadier battalion and artillery carriages! ”

The Qing army actually withstood the hard blows of the artillery trucks and grenadier battalions, and although Li Xin underestimated their ability to resist, he did not lose his mind because of this.

"Herald! Let Zhang Shi follow the steps, don't be impatient! Li Xin ordered in a deep voice, and the loud horn rose and fell and blew a rhythm of different lengths.

For the Ming army's method of heralding, He Luo will be very curious, and at the same time he is very good, there are countless horns in the army, but he can really think of and apply it to actual combat, and use it as a herald tool, only Li Xin is alone, he is more and more sincere admiration for this Ming army general who is not more than thirty years old, and even more of a fear, a kind of fear that cannot be fathomed.

"General Yu, the banner of the commander of the Qing army is in the southern camp!" After several horn calls, the herald again reported to Li Xin the situation on the battlefield in real time. After hearing this, Li Xin felt quite depressed, and before that, Dai Shan had secretly sent a letter to inform him that the commander of the Qing army was a little-known minister of the interior, named Sony.

Others have never heard of Sony, but Li Xin is like thunder. The head of the four auxiliary ministers appointed by Shunzhi before his death was this person. Later, his daughter Hesheri married the little emperor Xuanye because of this, that is, the famous Kangxi Emperor in the seventeenth century, and the son-in-law born to Hesheri and Kangxi was the prince for more than 40 years.

"Master, this Sony slave has heard of it, I heard that it is a dog of Huang Taiji, the fart is shocking, I haven't heard anything outstanding about fighting!"

He Luohui sent Wakda back to contact him in the center since Li Xin, and stranded him in Jinzhou City, his inner hope was deeply frustrated, but he could only bury this frustration deep in his heart, and did not dare to show the slightest hint.

However, when he described Sony to Li Xin, he had a complicated feeling that was difficult for outsiders to understand, and therefore devalued Sony as worthless. However, He Luohui soon found that his side drum did not work, and Li Xin was still unmoved, he was waiting, waiting for the promise of Dai Shan.

Although the current Qing army has taken the main force of the two red flags, it is still strong and strong, and the three guards are only 10,000 people, for the iron bucket-like Qing army joint camp, they are at best a dagger, which can stab any place, but they may not have the strength to hit hard.

With Dai Shan's promise, it was very different, as long as he could fulfill his promise, Li Xin would be more than eighty percent sure of the two white flags of the Qing army's southern and western camps.

It's just that time has passed minute by minute, and the two armies are still facing each other in the Qing army camp, and the expected change has not appeared for a long time. Li Xin kept looking at the sky above the Qing army camp in the distance, which was pitch black and mixed with a little firelight.

"Look, master, it's on fire!"

He Luohui's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw a huge fireball suddenly rising between the west camp and the north camp. Li Xin knew at a glance that this must be the result of the gunpowder being ignited, and it seems that Daishan really fulfilled his promise.

"Cheng Mingjiu, Lu Jiu, where is Don't Kuo'er?"

"The last general!"

The three of them agreed in unison.

"Ben Shuai ordered the three of you to act according to the plan immediately, go!"

He Luohui behind Li Xin only felt extremely excited, and even he couldn't explain why he was excited, could it be that the rout of the two white flags was inevitable? Shouldn't he be angry, sad, and hopeless? But he didn't.

"What? Accidental fire at the Beiying powder magazine? ”

Sonny only felt that he had escaped his anger, and he immediately faltered as he watched the raging fire that turned half the sky red. It was the powder magazine that was set on fire again, and Dolgon's fiasco outside Gaoyang last year was the result of a powder magazine that was accidentally ignited.

The so-called accident was nothing more than Dolgon's excuse for exculpating himself, and everyone in the court knew that it was deliberately ignited, and the person who deliberately set fire to the powder magazine was known to everyone, none other than Li Xin. Now the powder magazine was ignited and exploded, and Sony's temples on both sides suddenly jumped, and an ominous premonition flooded into his mind. He didn't believe in coincidences, but if it wasn't a coincidence, it must have been the work of the enemy.

As the temporary commander of the army, Sony knew very well that there was a powder magazine and a timber depot for building siege equipment between the west and north camps, and next to the timber depot were stables with two yellow flags. I'm afraid these things will soon be wiped out with this accidental fire.

In the confusion, Sony really had some difficulty estimating the battle situation in Nanying. Shout out Li Xin is cunning! He rode his horse to return to Beiying, where the Chinese army was located, he didn't know which battalion Li Xin would target next, this kind of surprise attack made him scratch his head, and he couldn't figure out for a while, how the Ming army mixed into the heavily guarded Qing army camp, but he realized the imminent danger.

However, the armor soldiers in the southern camp were crowded together, and Sonny and the horse team he brought with him could hardly move an inch. What's more, he was anxious to find that the explosion of the powder magazine between the north camp and the west camp not only caused a raging fire, but also cut off the traffic between the two camps in the northwest.

Sony, who was anxious to return to the Chinese army in the northern camp, suddenly had an idea, maybe the Ming army wanted to make a risky move in a panic? Suddenly, Sonny's body was drenched in cold sweat, and he had indeed almost made an extremely risky decision just now.

That is, to open the gate of the south camp and return to the north camp from outside the camp, but who can know how many Ming troops are eyeing the north camp under the cover of the dark night outside the gate? As soon as he thought of this, Sony suddenly cleared his mind, and secretly blamed himself, he still had too many opinions, whether it was two yellow flags or two white flags, weren't they all the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty at this moment? When did you and I divide the inside and outside? Sony, who figured out the joint, immediately ordered Goshha, who was with the army, to summon the main general of the camp here.

However, Goshha returned alone after a while, Sonny couldn't help but be angry, and was about to ask questions, but Goshha said with a sad face: "The lord here is Akshan, he has just been martyred in the previous war!" ”

What the? Sonny was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, he never expected that in order to establish his authority and deter the generals, he cut off the right arm of Akshan, who took the lead in making trouble, but he also cut off his own arm. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Sony could imagine that Akshan was so traumatized that he managed to command his army to defend it, and the tracking was killed.

"And the lieutenant general?"

"Back to the master, the deputy general also died in battle and died under the guns of the Ming army!"

At this moment, Sony suddenly changed his mind again: "Order, each Niu Lu directly obeys the orders of the general, flanks raids, and drives the Ming army out of the camp!" ”

Sony's order was also after some calculation, the Ming army was able to beat the Eight Banners Army to the bustle, relying on the steel monsters in front of the battle array, and the power of ghosts and gods. He quickly discovered the monster's slowness and started from its flanks.

The Ming army slowly penetrated deep into the camp, and the corresponding flanks were gradually exposed more and more, and they had never been the opponents of the Eight Banners Army in the field.

After Sony gave the order, he didn't have a long time to remove, but turned his horse around in an arc, and passed between the air raids inlaid with white flags, and at the same time stopped shouting: "The children of the Eight Banners will follow me Sony to kill the enemy and avenge Akshan!" ”

At the same time, the flag commander around Sony changed the flag, and ordered the white flag armor soldiers gathered on the left flank to attack the right flank of the Ming army with the commander. If Sonny had given the order alone, they might have disobeyed out of the resentment of Akshan's death.

However, Sonny shouted for revenge for Akshan and rushed forward first, who could stand still?
