The captives quietly pushed 1,000 shield carts out of the city gate, and lined up in three neat rows on both sides of the gate.

A group of 8 captives stood behind the shield cart.

When they are ready to charge, they will relay the cart to make sure they are always moving at the fastest speed.

This was Hauge's ploy.

Although the Ming army was well defended, the battle line was too long, hundreds of thousands of troops were scattered on three city walls, although there were not many people at each point, but they could quickly support, once the Qing Dynasty could not break through quickly, there would be a large number of large numbers of Ming troops arriving in a steady stream.

By that time, 8,000 people in the Qing Dynasty would die in vain.

If the Qing warriors took advantage of the night to charge rapidly and rush into the Ming army's position with lightning speed, at that time, the Ming army's artillery and grenades would lose their effectiveness, and the Ming army's sharp three-stage attack would not have a chance to continue firing.

Therefore, the first battle is a strange word, followed by a fast word.

The shield cart quietly went out of the city, silently lined up, and what he wanted was to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.

And the subsequent kilometer sprint is the key to the success or failure of this battle.

After the shield car was processed, Prince Li drove more than 10,000 clothed servants out of the city, and then closed the city gate.

These clothed slaves were carefully selected from a noble family, and most of them were not armoured, except for a few who wore light armor or thin cotton armor.

It is clear that they are cannon fodder in this battle.

Of course, these slaves didn't know what they were going to face, they only knew that if they rushed to the Ming army's position, they would be able to ascend to the sky in one step, become a banner man, and become a master from Baoyi.

Even, the regent promised to allocate them 10 coats and live a life of superior people from now on.

The temptation was so great that they forgot the danger of war and the cruelty of it.

Under the attractive reward, under the supervision of a group of generals, 10,000 wrapped clothes hugged the long planks, walked out of the city gate, passed through the shield cars, and quietly approached the Ming army's position.

Behind them, there were elite captives in leather armor and iron armor, hiding behind shield carts, and they also kept their voices as low as possible, hoping to get infinitely close to the Ming army's position.

"Woo Woo ......"

When they walked into a certain distance, the dogs in the Ming army's position smelled the smell and barked wildly, which quickly aroused the vigilance of the Ming army.

The captives could clearly hear the sound of rustling in the camp of the Ming army.

Obviously, they were exposed, but the captives were already less than 500 meters away from the Ming position.

This distance is really nothing for an infantry charge.

If Hauge had bathed these coats before the attack and changed into new clothes, instead of going into battle so stinky, perhaps they would have been able to approach a distance of 300 meters.

Know that only dogs that have been trained to be able to smell more than 500 scents. It is impossible for all dogs raised by the Ming army to be professionally trained.

But more than 10,000 stinky slaves went hand in hand, plus the assistance of the north wind, it was enough to increase the dog's "smelling range" and expose their movements in advance.

In fact, Hauge also thought that attacking the city on the south side would expose himself in advance due to the factor of wind direction, but he knew that when the north wind exposed himself, it would also blow on the face of the Ming army like a knife, affecting the sight of the Ming army and the range of bows and arrows, and at the same time increasing the range of his own soldiers.

With such a big benefit, Hauge naturally has to make full use of it.

Woowoo......

Now that it was exposed, it was impossible to continue the slow advance, and Hauge immediately ordered the trumpet to be blown and the whole army charged.

He believed that at such a close distance, the Ming army would not be able to block his assault in a hurry.

"Whew...... Ho ......"

Ten thousand Baoyi heard the horn and ran forward like crazy.

Bell Bell ......

When the Ming army heard the horn of Jianyu, they immediately sounded the gong.

The emergency plan was immediately activated, and the 5 Chongzhen repeaters in the array were urgently activated, and 500 fiery crossbow arrows were quickly installed in place and shot out with a whizz.

Due to the severe winter cold and the influence of the north wind, these bolts can only fly half the distance of normal times.

But it was enough, the fire immediately illuminated a few hundred meters in front of the position, and the captives could no longer hide their tracks, it turned out that these rockets were not used to kill the enemy, but were used as searchlights.

The slaves soon rushed to the area illuminated by the rockets, and then ushered in the second round of rocket salvos from the Ming army.

The lightly clothed and unarmored slaves were constantly hit by arrows, covering their wounds and fell, and some of them were fierce, pulling out their crossbow arrows and continuing to charge.

Behind them were Mulima's warlords, who followed closely behind the cloaked slaves to prevent anyone from escaping, and if they saw anyone retreating, they would be killed as deserters.

Mulima is Aobai's younger brother, he failed to participate in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and he picked up a life, but his brother died there, and his bones were gone.

This time, with a vengeful heart, he clutched his spear and strode south.

So many people died in the battle of Shanhaiguan, and almost every family wore filial piety, and the captives hiding behind the shield cart also had a sense of revenge and rushed with all their might.

Whether it is the Jurchens, the Mongols, or the Han Chinese, they are all running desperately, they know that only speed is their chance to live, and if they rush into the Ming array early, they can avoid a round of onslaught from the Ming army.

At this moment, a strange scene in the history of warfare appeared, the besieged army launched a general charge against the besieging army.

The original attacker has become the defender.

Jiang Fengjun, the general in charge of defense in the southern position of the Ming army, stared nervously at the front, and at this time, he clearly saw the captives in front of him, and even more vaguely saw the shield cart behind the Jianyu infantry.

Jiang Fengjun, who had insight into everything, was reluctant to bombard these cannon fodder with a limited number of mortars, he wanted to put these captives closer and then shoot them with five-arrow crossbows, and the powerful mortars should be used to bombard the shield car and the main captives behind it.

Anyway, the mortar is parabolic, not afraid of being blocked by cannon fodder in front, and can go directly to the shield car array behind the captive.

Chen Yongfu, a general on the southeast side of the city, also heard Jianguo's attack horn for the first time, and he knew that this was a large-scale sneak attack by Jianguo, so he immediately prepared for battle.

When he ascended the castle and looked out into the firelight, he found that all the captives had gone to the southernmost position.

He ordered loudly: "5 mortars, aimed at the front of the position on the south side, ready to assist in the defense at any time!" ”

Chen Yongfu was a former Henan general soldier who experienced three battles of Kaifeng, and Li Zicheng's left eye was blinded by him.

Historically, he and Sun Chuanting attacked Li Zicheng, and was defeated and captured because of the retreat of his troops.

After Li Zicheng lost the battle of Shanhaiguan, he entrusted Chen Yongfu to lead 10,000 people to defend Taiyuan. After Chen Yongfu was defeated by the Qing army, he did not know what to do.

In this life, because of Zhu Youjian's crossing, the butterfly effect was triggered, Chen Yongfu led the army to defect when Chongzhen recovered Shanxi, and was forgiven by Chongzhen, and after his original troops were dispersed, he was incorporated into the Flying Dragon Army.
