Looking at the high ground ahead, Wu Sangui was a little anxious, observed for a while, and said in a loud voice:

"The number of these broken prisoners will not be too many, and we should be able to easily defeat them with a charge of 20,000 people!"

Although Chen Yongfu is a general, he is cautious by nature, he looked at the torches all over the mountain, and couldn't help shaking his head, "In my opinion, Jianyu has arranged a lot of people and horses, and our radical charge, I am afraid that many soldiers will be injured, and even surrounded by Jianyu!" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head, "There are thousands of people in Jianyu, it is the time to flee in fear, how can it be possible to surround us?" Our victorious army is still afraid of their remnants?

When we have defeated the Jianyu in front of us, we can fiercely pursue the main force of Jianyu. In the middle of the night, under the thick snow, I believe they will not run far. ”

"The night is dark, the snow is even deep, and it is difficult for us to attack!" Chen Yongfu still didn't dare to venture.

"Don't worry too much, just rush!" Wu Sangui drank.

The men and horses of the department immediately rushed along the official road of Liaodong, which had been covered with snow, and rushed to the high ground in front.

"Quick! Rush up early, make great achievements early! There were thousands of people who shouted loudly and urged the soldiers to go quickly.

It's uphill, and it's hard to use skis and other tools, so you can only hike on foot, and the speed is very slow.

On the high ground, 500 captives were stationed here half an hour in advance in order to buy time for Hauge. At this time, they bowed and unsheathed, and their spears and spears were facing downward, and they put on a posture of looking at death as if they were at home.

Seeing that the Ming army was gradually approaching, all the Jianyu held their breath. Niu Lu, who led the team, was not in a hurry, he had to wait for the enemy to get closer.

Because, he not only has 500 warriors, but also 5 tiger squatting cannons.

These 5 cannons are all the artillery in Liaoyang City, although it is impossible to bring them to Korea, but they will be of great use to block the Ming army.

The effective range of the Tiger Squat Cannon is 300 paces, and now it has been loaded with gunpowder and lead bullets, and it can bombard and kill the Ming army just by waiting for Niu Lu's order.

The Ming army is getting closer and closer, and the construction captives on the high ground are getting more and more nervous, after all, although thousands of torches have been planted in this mountain, with a strong momentum, hoping that the Ming army will retreat in the face of difficulties, but it is obvious that the Ming army commander has not been intimidated to retreat.

And they only have 500 people and 5 guns, and to fight against the 20,000 Ming army, it is simply a mantis arm to block the car. Although everyone is ready to sacrifice their lives for the Qing Dynasty, they are still a little timid when it comes to the end.

"Gunner ready!" Niu Lu said softly, "Only one cannon at a time will make the Ming army unable to figure out the number of our artillery." ”

"Huh."

"Put!" Niu Lu yelled.

The gunners could not wait for a long time and immediately lit with torches when they heard the order.

Rumble......

More than 100 small lead bullets weighing two taels and large lead bullets weighing one pound flew out of the barrel of the cannon with a roar.

The Ming army was struggling to wade through the snow, suddenly heard the sound of cannons, looked up, and saw a flash of fire above the high ground, a fireball flew down, reflecting more than ten meters of firelight, and disappeared.

After a few breaths, a loud noise was heard not far away, and the Ming army was wounded and wailed.

"Master Hou, there is a cannon in Jianyu!" Chen Yongfu exclaimed.

"Not too much! Keep charging! Wu Sangui ordered coldly.

Rumble......

Shortly after the first cannon rang out, a second cannon rang out from the high ground.

Chen Yongfu looked at the firelight in the mountains, listened to the sound of cannons echoing in the mountains, and glanced at Wu Sangui hesitantly, but did not dare to speak.

Wu Sangui's eyes were calm, as if he had already seen Jianyu's suspicious plan, and he just blindly let the Ming army charge.

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......

Next, the five artillery pieces of Jianyu bombarded in turn, and the Ming army was shot from time to time, but under the strong order of Wu Sangui, under the premise that there was no large-scale artillery bombardment in Jianyu, the Ming army still maintained its speed and steadily assaulted.

When the sixth cannon sounded, Wu Sangui ordered loudly, "Jianyu only has five guns, mortar man, give me a fixed point to kill!" ”

It turned out that Wu Sangui had already silently written down the location of Jianyu's artillery in his heart, and when a red light appeared in a duplicate place, he knew the reality of Jianyu.

The mortars of the Ming army, who moved quickly, had already guessed that they were going to counterattack, and they had already adjusted the angle.

Rumble......

As soon as a cannon sounded, the gunner used the flash of the shell explosion to proofread and quickly fire a second shot.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Twenty or thirty explosions rang out at the Jianyu artillery position, destroying three Tiger squat guns on the spot and injuring more than 10 gunners.

That Niu Lu was dumbfounded, the gunners of the Ming army were too tricky, in such a dark night, how could they counterattack so accurately?

Wu Sangui saw that the counterattack was successful, and said in a deep voice: "Around the Jianyu artillery array, come a round of carpet saturation shelling!" ”

"Master Hou, squandering ammunition like this, in case there is an ambush in Jianyu, I'm afraid I will have to worry about the future." Chen Yongfu was worried again.

Wu Sangui didn't want to pay attention to him, and yelled: Release!

Boom Boom Boom ......

With the sound of the Ming army's artillery, the Jianyu position suddenly seemed to be on fire, and the captives who were ready to shoot bows and arrows were blown up quite a lot.

The Ming army also advanced a large distance during the artillery battle between the two sides.

Near the Jianyu position, the snow is not too deep, and next year the pace will be accelerated, and Jianyu will also start archery.

Wu Sangui did not feel sorry for the gunpowder at all, and ordered another round of saturation artillery bombardment, which successfully suppressed the Jianyu offensive, and the Ming army also took the opportunity to rush to the front of the Jianyu formation.

Looking at the enemy who was several times his size, Jian Yu saw that there was no hope of blocking the attack, and began to fight and retreat. However, the Ming army did not give them a chance, and took advantage of the favorable terrain of the captives retreating downhill to launch a three-stage long-range shot.

The captives kept falling to the ground, and their numbers were getting smaller and smaller.

Woowoo......

On the southeast and southwest sides of the plateau, the sound of the horn of the building was heard.

"Reinforcements! We have reinforcements! "The captives rejoiced.

That Niu Lu was also very happy, he originally thought that he was going to die, and when he heard the trumpet, he almost cried with joy.

Unexpectedly, the regent also ambushed a support army on the side, and he knew that this was the case, so he held on for a while.

It turned out that Hauge was worried that these 500 people would not be able to stop it for too long, so he asked more than 2,300 people around him, divided into two cavalry teams, and sent them back to help stop the attack.

Once the Ming army broke the defenses on the heights, these cavalry would enter the battle. I saw that the Jianyu cavalry had a pair of torch racks, and each rack had 5-10 torches in varying quantities.

The ambush of 2,000 people was "grown" to a scale of 10,000 or 20,000 people at once.

Wu Sangui climbed the heights, looked at the dense torches on both sides in front of him, his eyes changed, he turned his head and asked Chen Yongfu: "General Chen, what do you think?" ”

"Suspicious!" Chen Yongfu said affirmatively.

"How?"

"If it was the main force, it should have been dispatched to participate in the battle a long time ago, so as not to wait for the high ground to lose before running out. This is clearly trying to cover up! ”

Wu Sangui nodded, "Then what does General Chen think should be done?" ”

"Push slowly! Kill them one by one! Chen Yongfu said confidently.

Wu Sangui had a black line on his face, and said in his heart, this Chen Yongfu has a unique vision, a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, and his judgment of the situation is also superior, but he is too cautious.

Although you can ensure your own safety, you often miss out on fighters!

"Pass me the order!" Wu Sangui shouted, "The whole army charged, and killed Jianyu without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
