Outside the city of Dalinghe, the tug-of-war between the Liao army and the blue flag has been going on for more than two months. Both sides had muskets, and both had a new understanding of musket tactics. The end result is that no one can do anything to the other.

As the blue flag with a relatively large number of post-Taurus records, Amin was the first to equip the flag soldiers with muskets. Twenty new cannons were also bought for the Dutch, and the combat effectiveness of the blue flag, which had been renovated for a year, had been improved by more than one grade.

Even with such a reborn transformation, it still couldn't defeat Yuan Chonghuan's hateful Second Division of the Liao Army.

The Second Division of the Liao Army only has a few thousand people, and as an old opponent, Amin knows it very well. Since Li Xiao took office as the governor of Shandong, the Liao army, which had been dominant, seemed to be a little inadequate. The lack of troops forced them to shrink their defenses.

The Blue Banner was much larger than the 2nd Division, but it could not defeat the 2nd Division. Even if Amin sent his most powerful Niu Lu to lead the charge, it would be to no avail.

But fortunately, the other party is not capable of attacking Dalinghe City.

The Great Khan led his troops around the Great Wall to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and I heard that it went well. Won Tongguan, Bauhinia Pass, and Juyong Pass. Also occupied Xuanfu and Datong! As long as he dragged the second division of the Liao army here and prevented them from entering the pass to support, the Great Khan would be able to lead his team to attack the Ming Jing division from the west. I asked the second brother Daishan, and there is a chance that this time will be successful.

A cannonball woke up Amin in the fugue.

Soon, shelling runaways rained down like drops. The blue-flag-studded bannermen in the trenches under the city were all huddled in the trenches. With a musket in his hand, he waited for the end of the shelling. After three months of tug-of-war, they already knew how to dodge the shells. Within a radius of dozens of miles, the trenches on both sides were dug like spider webs. The second division, which was inferior in numbers, had to rely on firepower to suppress the blue flag. I have to admit that the shells of the Second Division are really fucking enough.

Suddenly, Amin stood up. Prick up your ears and listen!

Wrong! The direction of the shells was not in front, but in their own rear. Someone outflanked his own rear? How is this possible! The second division wants to garrison Jinzhou, and it has to go to war with itself, where do they get their troops?

But the sound of the explosion of the shell really reached the ears. That's right, it's coming from the north.

"Lord Belle! Lord Belle! Oh no, Ming Jun ...... The Ming army came from behind. A cow Lu ran in in a panic. His face was blackened and whitened by gunsmoke!

"Calling from behind? How many people are there? Amin grabbed the neck of the cow, a little incredulous.

If there were only one or two hundred people, Amin wouldn't mind taking the cavalry to kill these Ming troops who didn't know what to do. More than 100 people want to sneak attack their rear, really think Lao Tzu is muddy?

"There are thousands, thousands." Niu Lu still had horror on his face.

"Phew! I chopped you up for lying about the military situation. Amin "spitted" this cow and recorded a face full of flowers. How many soldiers does Yuan Chonghuan have on the opposite side, can he not know? There are still a few thousand, and it would be nice if he could draw five hundred now.

"Really! Lord Belle, there are really thousands of people. They are all Liao soldiers wearing green military uniforms, and their marksmanship is very accurate. My team didn't last half an hour before they were crushed. ”

"Holy shit!" Amin kicked Niu Lu to the ground, and rode his horse to the north with the guards.

The main front was inevitable, and the defense of the northern city was very lax. However, there are only three or five Niu Lu stationed here, and all of them have fought in front, and they are resting here. According to Amin's judgment, Yuan Chonghuan may not even be able to make up five hundred people now. Surround yourself is simply talking in a dream. There are still a few thousand people, can Yuan Chonghuan conjure up troops?

When I arrived in Beicheng, I found that there were really thousands of people on the other side.

Under the cover of mortars, these guys were advancing in groups of three and five in groups of five. And these guys are obviously well-trained, and they run with cats on their waists when they run. When there is a ridge in front of you, or when there is a large rock. They will lie on the ground at once, and under the cover of stones or ridges, they will shoot at the flag-bearers with blue flags.

The stunned Niu Lu was right, these guys had very good marksmanship. Within a quarter of an hour of ascending the tower, Amin saw no less than twenty bannermen whose heads had been blown open by bullets.

This is definitely not a rabble, this is the fucking regular army of the Liao army. And! His mother's training is even better than Yuan Chonghuan's second division!

For a moment, Amin felt his heart sink to the bottom. There is a wolf-like Yuan Chonghuan in front, and there is a more fierce one behind it. Surrounded by yourself!

Just when Amin sensed something was wrong, the southern position behind him also resounded with dense gunfire. The gunfire was so dense that it hadn't been heard in months.

"Hold on! Hold! Keep the outer positions, and those who take a step back will be killed! The whole family was reduced to flag slaves! Amin shouted hoarsely.

After more than a year of firearms battles, Amin clearly knows that in today's rampant firearms, it is simply a fool's dream to rely on the city walls to defend it. Having lost his peripheral positions, he could only be trapped in the city, waiting to be starved to death and frozen to death!

"Huh!" Several Niu Lu around him ran out, braving the dense artillery fire, and organized people to start a counter-charge.

Ao Canghai had a steel helmet on his head, and it was very uncomfortable to wear such a heavy thing. What's even more uncomfortable for him is that this thing is fucking green. According to the tradition of our people, it is too unlucky to have green on the head. I proposed to Li Xiao several times, saying that it was good to change the color of this steel helmet, such as red. The big red hat looks like the groom's official, and it is festive to look at.

All I got was Li Xiao's contemptuous look!

I held my breath in the stomach of Xuanfu Ao Ye, and it was easy to bypass the Great Wall and come to Liaodong. As soon as they met Yuan Chonghuan, the two guys formulated the tactics of flanking back and forth. For this, Ao Ye had to take his men on a detour for another day before coming behind Amin.

The surprise attack was successful, and the defense north of Daling River was very lax. One charge killed two of Niu Lu's banner soldiers. The gates of the city were opened, and a group of cavalry had just come out. was smashed to the ground by an overwhelming mortar shell!

The 1st Division is worthy of being a fist unit, and the tactical movements of the soldiers are very smooth. It is very difficult for the soldiers with the blue flag to hit the soldiers of the first division in motion, and they often just aim and pull the trigger. The other party suddenly fell to the ground, and the target was reduced so much at once, and the hit rate can be imagined.

"Quickly clear the perimeter, don't get too close to the walls, and pay attention to the artillery on the enemy's head. Damn, the Tartars actually have a mortar too. To let Lao Tzu know who leaked the secret, Lao Tzu killed his whole family. "The attack of the 1st Division began to be shelled, and the fire at the head of the city could not be seen through the telescope. Thinking that the Tartars already had mortar intelligence, Ao Changhai immediately ordered not to approach the city walls too much.

In fact, when he discussed with Yuan Chonghuan, he also thought that it was impossible to eat the blue flag with as many as 10,000 people in one day. After all, people also have more than 30 cattle records.

"Before this evening, the perimeter must be cleared. Block the exits of the Daling River, and tomorrow Lao Tzu will come to catch turtles in an urn. "Ao Canghai has received a report from Kuaima, and the imperial Taiji soldiers are coming to the city of Beijing. At this time, presumably there were no soldiers in Shenyang to rescue him Amin. You can have two or three days to calmly eat the blue flag with more than 10,000 people.

If this was achieved, it would be the greatest victory since the war against the Tartars.

Yuan Chonghuan over there is organizing people to charge again. Now the blue flag is also beaten to a slippery and slippery level, and as long as they shell themselves, people hide in the trenches and do not show their heads. When attacking by themselves, these bastards will rely on the trenches to block them. Because the target is very small, the hit rate is poor. And their own soldiers need to charge, and the exposed target is large, and the casualties are naturally much greater.

"Report to the Divisional Commander! The 1st Division was progressing smoothly, having cleared the perimeter of the northern city and began to develop on both flanks. ”
