It turned out that the musket was so powerful, Zhang Guangcui opened his mouth wide and observed carefully. He did not have a chance to call the shots, and the first attack of the Qing army was repulsed. Shields and armor seemed to be useless under the fire of muskets at close range, and seemed to have no other effect than to make it more difficult for soldiers to climb the gray slope.

No, it's not that the musket is powerful, it's His Highness's method that is powerful. Zhang Guangcui involuntarily looked back at the position of the second line of defense, and the Wang flag was standing proudly, fluttering in the wind. His face couldn't help but pass complicated emotions, he hadn't seen the musket before, the Ming and Qing armies had it, except for the musketeers who might have formed under the King of Sanshun, the other troops were used as dispensable auxiliary troops, and they didn't pay attention to it in the field.

With such a constant accumulation of shots, coupled with the dangerous terrain and the barrier of trenches and fences, if the Qing army wants to rush over, they will fill it with countless corpses! Zhang Guangcui showed a sneer, feeling sad for the Qing army under the mountain.

"General." A subordinate general came over and reminded: "Do you want to send someone out of Lu to collect the head?" ”

Ah, Zhang Guangcui's thoughts were churning, and he actually forgot about this matter, he stabilized his mind, waved his arm majestically, and ordered: "The sword and axe hand will go out of the battle, take back all the enemy's heads, and report to His Highness immediately after counting the number." ”

The ladder was quickly put up on the fence, and more than 100 Ming soldiers armed with knives and axes climbed the ladder and climbed over it, and then crossed a trench seven or eight meters wide and five or six deep, and waved their blades at the corpses and wounded of the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground. Desperate screams and curses rang out in the light of the knife and blood, and the bloody human heads were lifted up by the braids, and the headless bodies lay miserably on their stomachs or on their backs, blood gurgling and seeping into the floating earth.

More than 200 Qing troops were killed and wounded by musket fire, and more than 100 were killed or injured by being crushed and trampled while fleeing on a steep slope. The steep dirt road of more than 70 degrees and the thick floating soil make it difficult to go up and down the mountain. Under normal circumstances, it needs to be supported by a cane step by step, stretching the muscles of the whole body, and the toes are pressed against the narrowest side of the toe of the shoe with the weight of the whole body, and it is painful to walk after not walking a few steps, and the pain is so painful that I almost grin every step I take.

It was also the first time for the Qing army to fight under such terrain, inexperienced, and was bombarded by muskets, the front team retreated, squeezing the rear team, and on the steep mountain road, it was supposed to retreat slightly, reorganize the formation, but immediately triggered a crush and trampling. In the dust, the vision is blurred, and it completely collapses.

The corpses and wounded soldiers stretched along the steep mountain road all the way to the end, and despite the difficulty under their feet, the sword and axe men of the Ming army did not want to leave a single head, and walked down with the support of the tip and handle of the axe, mercilessly harvesting the bloody heads, stripping off the clothes and weapons that were still usable.

At the foot of the mountain, Wang Jinbao, a guerrilla in the middle battalion of the Qing army, was looking at Wang Qi on the mountain and gritting his teeth, listening to a disgraced Qian Zong reporting the situation of the first attack. The mountain road is steep, the floating soil is dusty, the trenches are blocked, and the muskets are fired...... These are of course difficulties, but the death and injury of so many people at once still makes Wang Jinbao resentful.

Among the officers who rose through Daniel Zhang's simple ranks, the most famous were Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao, the righteous brothers of Lord Wei in Luding Ji. Among them, Zhao Liangdong had been promoted to the deputy general of the battalion of the Yungui Governor Yamen Governor and left Daniel Zhang's account. Only Wang Jinbao is still under the command of Daniel Zhang, and he is undoubtedly the most effective general under Daniel Zhang.

If measured by strategy, Zhao Liangdong is higher than Wang Jinbao; If the standard of force is used, Wang Jinbao will be better than Zhao Liangdong. In the battle array, Wang Jinbao often took the lead, holding two jun (1 jun is 30 catties) iron whip to charge into battle, very brave.

As the most effective general under Daniel Zhang at present, the pioneer officer is naturally none other than Wang Jinbao, and of course he is also full of ambition and eager to build another military merit and rise one step higher. But the first battle was frustrated, and the defeat was sparsely defeated, but it really made Wang Jinbao angry and unwilling.

"The mountain road is steep and you can nail stakes to support it, and you can climb it step by step until you reach the enemy's trench." Wang Jinbao suppressed the anger in his heart, pondered for a long time, and proposed his own method, "Our Northwest athletes are good at shooting, we can first use bows and arrows to kill the enemy remotely, and then wait for the opportunity to attack." ”

Although there are still difficulties that have not been solved, how can there be a time when everything is smooth on the battlefield and the enemy army is powerless to fight back? Attacking a fortified city is like attacking a city, and it is normal to use human lives to fill in victory. What's more, the Wang Qi left behind by the pseudo-clan is on it, which invisibly poses a great temptation to Wang Jinbao.

There was a sudden commotion in the Qing army, some gritted their teeth, some opened their mouths to curse, some injured others, and some beat their chests and cried. It turned out that after the Ming army harvested and counted the heads, they placed the heads on the spire of the fence, like a demonstration and a mockery.

"Immediately cut down the stakes, storm the enemy village, kill all the enemies, capture the pseudo-clan and stay behind, and avenge the robe." Wang Jinbao's eyes were red, and he roared and urged the officers beside him.

The decapitation of level 306 is not a big victory, and if you add that the defenders have almost no casualties, the gold content of the victory can be greatly increased. Zhu Yongxing received the report of the first line of defense, and a faint smile appeared on his face, but he quickly sank his face again, as if he was dissatisfied with Zhang Guangcui's handling of the head in this way.

But in the end, Zhu Yongxing still didn't say anything, the battlefield of an era has the characteristics of an era, and this bloody and cruel way of dealing with it made him feel uncomfortable, but it was a move that was used by both the enemy and us, and he didn't think it was particularly excessive. Since it has the effect of boosting morale, it is not good for Zhu Yongxing to lose his temper at this time and dampen the spirit of the Ming army.

"Your Highness, the Qing army is nailing stakes on the mountain road and preparing to attack steadily." The white dragon of the Tusi knife was shocked by the power of the musket just now, and at this time he came back to his senses, half reminding, half asking.

Zhu Yongxing took Dao Bailong with him because he wanted him to see the strength of the Ming army and use a few victories to strengthen Dao Bailong's determination to support the Southern Ming army. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention that when the dragon is not strong, the attitude of the local Tusi is very critical, even if they do not send troops to help the war, the receipt of food and grass materials is also an important factor in whether the broken Ming army that retreats to the remote areas can hold on for a long time.

Judging from the expression of Dao Bailong just now, Zhu Yongxing felt that the effect was still good. The light and sound of the muskets, as well as the smoke, are really impressive. However, the Qing army nailed wooden stakes, but he was not afraid, in history, in this extremely steep place, the expeditionary force also adopted the method of overpowering people, or tying themselves to trees in order to shoot.

Now, he was still very willing to answer Dao Bailong's question in order to dispel his doubts.
