The Prince Yu of the Great Qing Dynasty, the general of Dingguo, Duoduo, finally saw hope, and his army was going to bypass this huge lake.

It has to be said that this surrendered Ming army officer who was in charge of leading the way was very competent, he was very familiar with the nearby geographical environment, and without taking a detour, he led Duoduo's army around the lake, and then began to move south.

Zhou Huchen's preset defense line is in a good position, but it also has flaws, only ditches, no trenches, which is not conducive to defense, but at the same time, this small artificial river of this defense line is also a huge obstacle for Jiannu. The ditch is one foot deep and two feet wide, and it is very threatening, because as the water collects, the ditch will be hidden in the water and will become an extremely dangerous line of defense in the swamp.

Duoduo finally reached this defense line with difficulty, and sure enough, as Zhou Huchen expected, Duoduo did not continue to go south, but camped on the spot and began to prepare for the attack.

Sometimes, luck played a trick on things, and after half a day and a night's rest, when the next morning Duoduo got up for the pre-battle military meeting, he suddenly noticed that the rain seemed to be heavy.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, we have a great opportunity!"

The one who spoke was the obedient king Kong Youde, of course, Kong Youde, the prince, could not be compared with Duoduo no matter what, his posture and tone were very respectful.

"Is it this rain?" Still somewhat insightful, Dodor looked out of the tent.

"Yes! Lord Wang, this heavy rain came at the right time, I heard that Zhou Yuji has a lot of firearms, and this rain is not conducive to the firearms of the Ming army, it is definitely a good opportunity! This time it was Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun, and his posture was also very respectful.

Duoduo nodded slightly in agreement, and then began to arrange the battle in a good mood. The leader of the Eight Banners is the backbone of Liliang, and all Duoduo has to do is to coordinate the battle, of course, the purpose of this coordination is how to make good use of cannon fodder to give him his life, in the words of Duoduo and others, this is called tradition.

There was a thunderclap and a torrential downpour of rain.

Zhou Huchen, who was on the defensive line, sighed helplessly: "Jiannu, this is shit-like luck!" ”

"**. It's really not the right time for this rain to come, I'm afraid that Jiannu" Wang Deyong, who was beside Zhou Huchen, sighed, there was some abnormal rainstorm in such a season, and Wang Deyong stood in the rainstorm and began to worry.

"It's man-made! Our soldiers are not afraid of fighting under any circumstances, and Jiannu is just lucky! ”

Zhou Huchen had to sigh the good luck of Jiannu, Nurhachi raised the army because of the weakness of the Mongol and Ming armies, which was Nurhachi's luck; As time went on, the Mongols became weaker and weaker, and the corruption of the Ming Dynasty coupled with military decadence was still Nurhachi's good fortune; The natural disasters brought about by the climate of the Xiaoice River continue to be the luck of the people of Jianzhou; The rise of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others is related to natural disasters, and they and Jiannu are equivalent to attacking the Ming Dynasty at the same time. Again, luck; And the big traitor Wu Sangui presented Shanhaiguan with even more luck.

Now, this rainstorm is still Jiannu's luck.

With the arrival of the rainstorm, the firing of the fire gun will be seriously affected, and without the firing of this combat weapon, Zhou Huchen estimated that he would have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Jiannu. As for the firing of artillery, I am afraid that this weather will be affected very greatly, and the power of the explosion will probably drop very much.

The water level under his feet continued to rise, and Zhou Huchen had to ask the soldiers to quickly raise the gun position and follow the scouts to report. Jiannu has already begun to act.

The rain obscured the view, which was too bad for the command, and the clairvoyance, which had always been very useful, became a waste, and the scout's job was even more difficult. They had to run back and forth in torrential rain and muddy water more often.

All kinds of disadvantages converge together, this is the luck of Jiannu, of course, such an environment also stifles Jiannu's biggest advantage; Cavalry.

The battle line that could have been seen was several miles long. But now he can only see in front of him, and Zhou Huchen can only let more soldiers go to both sides to be responsible for guarding, in this case, it is easy to be sneak attacked by the enemy's assault team. Zhou Huchen had to guard against it.

The Jiannu finally appeared, and the scouts gradually ran back.

Not long after, the sound of artillery rang out.

This is the attack method of the paragraph command, Zhou Huchen has no choice, the rain is too heavy, the gunner can't hear the collective instructions, and can only rely on the nearby commanders to give instructions, which is equivalent to relying on instinct to shoot blindly.

Due to the heavy rain, the sound of the first round of shelling was very small, and as for whether it could explode or not, and how powerful, no one knows.

The gunner's work was troublesome, after the first round of shelling, the gunner had to quickly flip the barrel, a lot of water had already fallen in the bore, and the gunner had to pour out the water in the bore in order to continue firing.

"It's estimated that it's only three to five chances, let the firecracker prepare!"

Zhou Huchen was very helpless, this rainstorm came at an inopportune time, and he helped Jiannu so much.

It was already the second round of shelling, and the gunner again quickly turned over the barrel, and then the solid mortar was reloaded again

Nothing can be seen, no distant instructions can be heard, orders will be executed very slowly, can only rely on intuition, Zhou Huchen decisively ordered after the fourth shelling: "Mortars withdraw, guns come forward!" ”

Ordered to march forward in an orderly manner, the formation was somewhat sparse, as each firecracker could only fire once, after which the firecrackers would withdraw, and their muskets had been loaded in advance, and in order to prevent the muskets and ammunition from getting wet, they were wrapped in tarpaulins by the soldiers.

Neither side could see the other, but both knew that the enemy was ahead.

In the rain curtain, Jiannu's cannon fodder is advancing, and these cannon fodder are relatively lucky today, because the power of Zhou Huchen's mortar today is really limited.

Faintly, a figure appeared in the rain curtain.

Zhou Huchen waved his hand, and the first row of guns of the Ming army was fired as if there was no sound.

The equipment of these newly attached Han troops was very poor, many soldiers did not wear armor at all, and the number of shields was scarce, although the power of the fire guns was reduced in the torrential rain, but the distance was already very close, that is, a distance of about fifty paces. This is a modified version of the Lumi Gun and armor armor bullets, which are by no means protected by the protective measures of these people, and some of the Jiannu soldiers at the front began to fall.

Since they were able to surrender, they would not be warriors, and as some people fell around them, these newly attached Han troops significantly slowed down their advance.

At this time, the first row of musketeers of the Ming army, who had finished firing the muskets, turned around, and the soldiers behind them took a step forward, and then reached out to remove the tarpaulin.

The second platoon's firecrackers were fired instantly, and the queues of these newly attached Han troops were too dense, and these silent projectiles would hardly fail. Once again, people kept falling, which stopped these former officers and soldiers.

According to the step-by-step, the Ming gunners in the third row fired again.

The projectiles were still flying, bringing with them a silent death, and these former Ming troops retreated.

Duoduo knew these former Ming soldiers better, and he had a lot of overseers behind these new annexes, and these overseers were finally starting to work.

Supervising the war is very simple, cowering and killing on the spot, this is a manifestation of the discipline of an army, and has nothing to do with the brutality of Jiannu, the powerful army of all dynasties and dynasties can dominate the world, this is the most basic quality of a strong army.

Death in front is also death, death in the back is also death, and there seems to be a chance not to die in front, under the threat of death, these surrenderers began to risk death to continue to attack, and finally turned into "brave". (To be continued......)
