Like a flying locust, that's what Dordor saw.

The trench of the Ming army is very strange, the trench on the front is relatively backward, but on both sides of it are two horizontal trenches, not to mention the two sides, it is a corpse.

The projectiles fired by the artillery were very high, at different distances, and with different arcs, countless projectiles flew beautifully in the air.

It's a pity that the follow-up of this beautiful flying dance is a little cruel, when the projectile falls, the Jiannu foot soldiers who are rushing forward become real cannon fodder, cannon fodder in countless explosions.

Jiannu's front team immediately fell into chaos, and he could clearly see the severed limbs and various weapons flying in all directions, such a scene Duoduo could not see, but he could feel the instant chaos of his front team of soldiers. It's really a flowering bomb, and it's all, this kind of artillery Duoduo feels a little incredible, and he has heard the power of Zhou Yuji's artillery say from his subordinates, and today he can appreciate it.

The second batch of projectiles rose into the sky, and before the projectiles fell, the soldiers in the front team, the warlords, and the archers behind were already mixed with the retreating soldiers.

When the third bombardment fell, Dodor came to his senses. I couldn't see the casualties in front of me, but I could see that the soldiers in front were in disarray, and because the roar of the artillery made the cavalry horses in the rear already show signs of getting out of control, the whole army was in a mess, and Duoduo knew that it was no longer possible to suppress the soldiers and continue the charge.

Duoduo began to sing gold, cannon fodder is also people, Duoduo doesn't want his own people to die too much, after all, these people are also his own people.

Meng Yun, who was directing the artillery bombardment, was too calm, this shelling could be said to be a devastating attack on the enemy's vanguard, and his war knife was pointed straight ahead.

The maximum firing range of the new mortar is two and a half miles, and the closest range of the enemy army is one mile, which is enough for Meng Yun to play. The results are amazing! With the extension of the artillery fire, Duoduo finally knew that Weishenme Zhou Huchen dared to go to Beijing to "play soy sauce", and Weishenme Li Zicheng gave up attacking Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass in Shanxi, right. And the corpses on both sides of this trench, it is not surprising that these people died here.

It was at this point that Dodor realized that this journey to the south would be difficult, and that it would be very detrimental to him if the war bogged down in a protracted quagmire, and perhaps his throne might be coming to an end.

The political struggle within the state was brutal and long-standing, and even as the brother of the regent Dolgon and the uncle of the emperor, Dordor remained in a precarious position. Dordor was the youngest son of Nurhachi. During Nurhachi's lifetime, Duoduo invited the favor of heaven and acted willfully, and was quite prominent among the kings of Belle, and the brothers saw that the old man was very fond of him, so they naturally did not dare to say anything. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he maintained the status quo at the beginning of this younger brother, and later, Huang Taiji also had political goals when attacking Azig and Duoduo, but the intensity was lighter. There is an essential difference from trying to crack down on Mang Gurtai, Amin, Daishan and others.

Now, Huang Taiji is dead, and Shunzhi succeeds to the throne, but it is actually Dolgon who has the final say. Dodor was in crisis.

This is a situation that has not been encountered for many years, and the invincible Qing army was actually blocked. Knowing that Zhou Yuji was not easy to deal with, Duoduo didn't expect the firearm Liliang to be so strong, which was far beyond Tudor's expectations. In the mouths of those original Dashun army surrenderers. Duoduo heard about the strength of Zhou Yuji's firearms, but at that time, Duoduo didn't care. He thought that this was just a rendering of the defeat of the Great Shun army by Zhou Yuji's army. Even in the battle of Tongxu not long ago, Duoduo only thought that it was a battle with a huge disparity in Liliang, what real combat effectiveness did the Ming army have? Zhou Yuji's army was just a little stronger than the ordinary Ming army.

Now, Duoduo knows that the artillery of Zhou Yuji's army is really strong, unimaginably strong (Duoduo can't understand the flowering shell). At the same time, Duoduo also knew that Zhou Yuji's cavalry was also extremely powerful, and if the fire gun was as strong as those who surrendered to the army, Duoduo did not think that he had an easy chance of winning, and if he wanted to defeat Zhou Yuji, the price would be huge.

Enough cannon fodder died, and Dordor finally withdrew his troops from the battlefield.

The large number of casualties of the foot soldiers and the panic of the horses made Duoduo realize that it was impossible for him to easily break through in front of Zhou Yuji's artillery troops, and if he wanted to easily break through Sizhou, he could only count on the Huai'an front line now. As long as the Huai'an line breaks through, as long as the Zhun Tower goes down the river, in order to prevent being surrounded, Zhou Yuji's army will inevitably abandon Sizhou.

Another Qing army was led by Gushan Ezhen Zhunta who was originally stationed in Shandong, and after going south to Xuzhou, it advanced along the canal by land and water, with the intention of collecting Suqian, Huai'an, Xinghua, Tongzhou (now Nantong), Rugao and the coastal areas north of the Yangtze River along the road.

April 14 of the first year of Hongguang.

In the early dynasty, when Hongguang Emperor Zhu Youxiang summoned his ministers, Wang Duo, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, thought that Ma and Ruan's organization was not effective in resisting the left soldiers, and asked him to "lead the troops to see the division on the river to contain the heavy enemy of the left army".

Of course Ma Shiying disagreed, this is a denial of his ability to hand over the military power to others, how could Ma Shiying agree. Just when Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were arguing, something very embarrassing happened to the scholar Wang Duo, and Jingnan Hou Huang Degong's report document arrived.

Huang Degong's report was written very bluntly, in which he not only mentioned Zhou Huchen's great help, but also reported the death of Zuo Liangyu, and actually reported the number of thieves he had killed -- 400,000 people, and destroyed and captured more than 3,000 ships of various kinds.

This report is so appalling that there are 400,000 people, and there are no prisoners.

What does this mean?

The court fell silent for a while, and everyone understood that this showed that Huang Degong did not leave prisoners, how could 400,000 people be killed?

It's so ruthless!

Huang Degong's dominance is obvious to all, but his combat ability and loyalty are beyond doubt. As for Zhou Huchen, Ma Shiying has always been reluctant to mention it, he is more domineering than Huang Degong, and he has repeatedly ruined his own affairs, he is used to this Zhou Huchen's own affairs, this time his performance is good, and he will solve a big problem for him.

Anyway, finally had the opportunity to show their wisdom, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng raised their eyebrows again in the court.

The reward cannot be less, Huang Degong's cannot be less, and Zhou Huchen's father and son cannot be less. In order to praise Zhou Huchen's obedience, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng fought desperately, and others had nothing to say.

Emperor Hongguang was very satisfied, and he agreed to the joint proposal of Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others. In terms of meritorious deeds, Zhou Yuji once again received a promotion, he jumped from Fucheng Bo to Fucheng Marquis, and Zhou Huchen became General Xuanwei from Yipin on the basis of the Dragon and Tiger General of the second rank. General Longhu originally belonged to the Jiazhu, was a military officer, and belonged to the highest rank of a military officer. Now, Zhou Huchen has finally become the youngest highest-ranking military attache in the Ming Dynasty, and he has no way to be promoted, only left to become a provincial fiefdom, and then, knighted.

The chief meritorious man Huang Degong was originally an earl, and it was difficult to be promoted, but he also got practical benefits, and his son Huang Zitai was awarded the governor Tongzhi, the nominal Wuhu deputy general, and the hereditary brocade guard. In addition to receiving a large amount of food and salary, Huang Degong's lieutenants Tian Xiong and Ma Degong were officially promoted to the general soldiers, and the others were rewarded. Weng Zhiqi, the chief soldier of Zhejiang Miscellaneous who came to help, was also promoted to the first rank, and was promoted to the commander of Zhejiang.

The rain showed no signs of stopping, and Dordor was still waiting.

It's been five days, and apart from sending a small number of cannon fodder to harass each day, Duoduo hasn't even carried out a large-scale operation.

No one knew in Duoduo's heart that he could not afford to lose, and the imposing Qing soldiers were not as strong as people seemed. Beijing needs soldiers and horses to stay, Li Zicheng needs to continue to exterminate, and Jiangnan also needs to be taken as soon as possible. How many troops did the Qing Dynasty have? The total strength of the real Eight Banners is more than 200,000 troops, which also includes the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and Han armies, even if you add the people of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and those Ming troops who surrendered along the way, it will not exceed 300,000. Now, Duoduo will not let his precious soldiers of the Eight Banners go to death no matter what, the artillery of Zhou Yuji's army is too powerful, how many people will need to die to take this Sizhou?

Of course, Duoduo will not go on with Zhou Yuji's army like this, except for pinning his hopes on the backflanking of Gushan Ezhenzhun Tower, his men have reported that the Hongyi cannon in Xuzhou is about to arrive.

At the same time that Zhou Huchen was in a stalemate with the Duoduo Ministry in Sizhou, an incident happened in Yangzhou, which was also very related to Zhou Huchen. (To be continued......)
