At this time, the Duoduo camp also heard the singing of all the Han family children.

The Manchurian iron cavalry was okay, except for Manchurian military aristocrats such as Duoduo, most of them could not understand the songs sung by the Han people.

However, Kong Youde and Zhang Shenyan and other Han Army Eight Banners have many people who can understand it, and after listening to this "Qin Feng No Clothes", their feelings are also extremely complicated.

It seems that at this moment, they realize that they don't seem to belong to the camp of the Qing army, and they seem to belong to the camp of the Ming army on the other side.

Because of the howls of the Manchu masters in the Qing army camp to their comrades, they could not understand.

But at this moment, the Han family sound from the opposite side gave them a sense of loneliness and homelessness.

Opposite.

Although the Guards were sad, they were more sad and angry, and most of the junior officers and many soldiers knew the meaning of this ancient poem, and their morale was boosted.

Duoduo couldn't stop the other party's singing from infiltrating the Eight Banners of the Han Army in his barracks, but he knew that he couldn't delay it like this, although he didn't have artillery support, but no matter whether he was fighting or leaving, he had to make a decision early, otherwise the morale of the army would be weakened sooner or later.

Duoduo didn't want to go back in vain, especially with his main Manchurian cavalry still around, and he wanted to try again.

What's more, now the outer city of Yangzhou has been opened a gap, and the inner city is not defended by a moat.

Duoduo felt that he could attack again.

Even, he hoped that the Ming army would lose its sharpness due to the battle in the morning.

In addition, he also knew that his brother Dolgon had just taken control of the court, and his prestige was not high enough, and he and Azig urgently needed a big victory in the south to block the mouths of those Manchu magnates who were unwilling to enter the customs.

After the afternoon, the drums beat again, and Duoduo began to give the order to attack the city of Yangzhou.

This time, instead of the red-coated cannon to rely on, Duoduo had to rely on the traditional siege methods, namely ladders, giant trees, and stone throwers.

These, Duoduo also prepared some siege equipment, but this time, it was no longer the Manchurian Eight Banners that marched at the front, but the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and even the firearms of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were at the forefront.

Not only was the Eight Banners of the Han Army, but Duoduo also asked Kong Youde to put the captured Han people at the forefront as a human shield.

Duoduo knew that the next siege battle could only be filled with human flesh without red-coated cannons, and he naturally would not let his Manchurian elite be cannon fodder.

"Your Majesty, Jiannu has started to attack, it seems that they really refuse to give up!" Zhou Yuji walked up to Zhu Youzhen at this time and said.

"I know, his Duoduo's main force in Manchuria is still there, so naturally he is not willing to give up easily, but they don't have the red-coated cannon, so they can't pose much threat to my Yangzhou City, and I order the defenders in the city to immediately step up to plug the gap, and the main forces of the guards outside the city must give the Qing army a heavy blow this time!"

Zhu Youzhen thought that his 180,000 infantry, under the control of flintlock pistols and strict military discipline, would be able to inflict heavy damage on Duoduo's 90,000 iron cavalry.

But he didn't expect that in the face of the powerful mobility of the cavalry, no matter how disciplined the infantry was, they would not be able to fatally inflict fatal damage on the 90,000 iron cavalry in a short distance without any obstacles.

Of course, the Guards themselves did not suffer much impact, and they did kill and wound more than 5,000 iron horsemen of the Duoduo Division.

However, it is obvious that the loss of more than 5,000 iron cavalry has not yet had a great impact on Duoduo's military morale.

On the Guards' side, the infantry battalions began to crawl solemnly on half-man-high bunkers, forming a semicircular formation in preparation for the attack on the Dordor siege troops.

However, because Kong Youde ordered the firearms of the Eight Banners of the Han Army to put the people in the front, it was difficult for the Guards infantry to strike at the Han firearms at the beginning.

Duoduo couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, and Kong Youde also sneered, if other generals of the Ming army faced their side at this time with the Ming people as hostages, they would kill them if they said they would kill them, but now it is the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen here.

If the Ming army really dared to shoot the people, he Duoduo would also dare to use this to say to the Han people in the north that the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen was still a tyrant.

"Your Majesty, do you think we will fight or not?" Zhou Yuji asked.

"Hit! Why don't you fight, let Duoduo know that the role of artillery is not only used to siege cities", Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists, what he hated was not the cruelty of the Manchurian iron cavalry to the Han people, but the scum like Kong Youde, but he used his compatriots as meat shields.

The field artillery battalion of the three battalions of the Guards Army was lined up in three rows outside Yangzhou at this time.

Each platoon was spaced a hundred paces apart, and Zheng Chenggong was in the first platoon, and together with the other artillery teams, he commanded his artillery team to prepare for the cannon.

In a moment.

The first row of field guns spit out hundreds of flowering shells, and these flowering iron shells exploded directly into the Manchurian iron cavalry that followed the Han army's iron cavalry.

When Meeller saw the iron bullets flying in the sky, he thought it was just an ordinary solid iron bullet, so he shouted: "Quickly avoid it, don't panic!" ”

Unexpectedly, the shells of the Daming field artillery were all flowering shells, and as soon as they hit the ground, they exploded directly, and the quenched iron pieces pierced directly into the belly of the war horses under his command.

Alxa was thrown directly to the ground by his own war horse, and his war horse also ran forward frantically, directly disrupting the camp in front.

Not only Alxa, but other Manchurian iron cavalry were also shot one after another at this moment, and the entire rear camp of the Qing army Duoduo was already in chaos in a moment.

In the morning, because the Qing army was in the forefront of the Manchurian iron cavalry, and it was charged with cavalry as soon as it came, the speed was too fast, and it was difficult for the Guards artillery battalion to quickly stop the charge of the Qing army's iron cavalry, so Zhou Yuji went directly to the infantry.

And this time, because the Qing army Duoduo wanted to let the Han army iron cavalry and the Han people be cannon fodder in front, they fell into the arms of the artillery battalion of the Ming Guards, and they could bypass the Han people and directly hit the Manchurian iron cavalry behind.

The field cannon of the Ming Dynasty has a short range, but the destructive power is greater than that of the flintlock gun, the range efficiency is higher than that of the red-coated cannon, the cost is lower than that of the red-coated cannon, and the operation process is simple, so it is a specially born artillery for field warfare.

Hundreds of shells exploded directly, and the Manchurian iron cavalry directly exploded, and hurriedly retreated.

But at the same time, in order to avoid greater casualties among his Manchu masters, Kong Youde hurriedly sent his Han iron cavalry to rush out from the left and right flanks, trying to rush over and crush the Ming artillery battalion.

Although this Qing army iron cavalry is composed of two Tartars, most of them are also composed of border troops outside the Guanhai and military landlords, and their combat power is not low.

Otherwise, this Qing army iron cavalry would not dare to rush over in front of the defense system composed of so many Guards infantry and artillery, and it can be seen that they are also relatively brave, bravely guarding their masters.

Dodor nodded in satisfaction.

Kong Youde sneered, he sent two thousand iron horses, and they were all his most elite iron horses, comparable to the real Tartars, and they were skilled in bow horses.

Therefore, Kong Youde believed that his two thousand iron cavalry would be able to break through the infantry camp in front of him and defeat the artillery battalion of the Guards just as Meler Ezhen Alxa broke through the infantry camp of the Guards.
