Chapter 79: Jiannu was stunned
Before Ao Bai set off with a Niu Lu's Eight Banner soldiers, the ten white armor soldiers belonging to Niu Lu had already launched a large-scale sweep on the periphery of the battlefield.
However, the white-armored soldiers pounced this time.
From the beginning to the end, I didn't find a single Ming army that didn't collect at night.
"My lord, there is not a single Ming army on the periphery that does not accept it at night!" Yabran held a large bow and said with great disdain, "They know that they can only send death when they come out at night, so they don't dare to come out." β
"That's just right." Ao Bai smiled and said, "Just kill these Ming dogs by surprise." β
At that moment, Ao Bai led more than 300 Eight Banner soldiers, and quietly came to the back of the slope protection under the cover of night, only to see that the slope protection that had been dug by them during the day with four large gaps was filled in and tamped by the Ming army's soil.
Aobai probe glanced in the direction of the platform opposite, and found that it was pitch black on the opposite side, and there was no fire in sight.
Seeing this, Ao Bai subconsciously frowned, how did he feel that something was wrong? According to the explanation, the army should not be so careless, no matter what, they should light a few bonfires in the outer trenches, right?
Aren't you really afraid that their Eight Banners warriors will come to steal the camp? Too careless.
"My lord? It doesn't feel right. Jabran also noticed that something was wrong.
Ao Bai became more and more uneasy in his heart, even Yabulan, the newcomer, felt that something was wrong, then there must be a problem, but the arrow was already on the string, and he could only send it, so he could only improvise when the time came.
Anyway, it was night, and the tiger squat cannon of the Ming army was not accurate.
Ao Bai comforted himself in his heart and took the lead in climbing down the trench.
Yabran and a dozen other white-armored soldiers also climbed down on their backs.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ao Bai led the white-armored soldiers to clean up the wooden stakes and bamboo thorns in the area below, and then 300 Eight Banner soldiers flooded into the trench like flowing water, and there was no abnormal sound in the whole process.
Jiannu's military literacy is really good.
However, at this moment, a red lantern suddenly lit up in front of him.
"Aobai, lantern!" A sharp-eyed white-armored soldier pointed at the red cage and shouted.
Seeing the red lantern, Ao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Ming army is not completely defenseless, as long as they are prepared, the most feared is defenseless, the unknown is the most terrifying.
However, it would be naΓ―ve to rely on lanterns as a warning.
Ao Bai immediately ordered Yabran to say: "Shoot the lantern!" β
"Huh!" Jabran agreed, and quickly drew his bow and fired an arrow.
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the red lantern about thirty paces away was extinguished.
Ao Bai took the Eight Banners soldiers to clear the bamboo thorns, touched forward along the trench, and after surrounding the entire Guntai, he shouted, and hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers climbed to the Guntai at the same time from all directions.
The whole process was not hindered in any way.
However, the platform was empty.
"Lord Aobai, I didn't find Minggou!"
"My lord, I didn't find any dogs in the bunker!"
"My lord, a large pile of hay was found in the center of the platform."
The Eight Banners reported the news to Ao Bai one after another.
The uneasiness that disappeared in Aobai's heart returned.
What's going on? Why didn't you find a Ming army on the platform?
Could it be that the Ming army found out about them, so they ran away in advance?
But Ao Bai thinks it's ridiculous when he thinks about it, how can it be?
There were two battles during the day from Ansan Town, which is enough to prove that this Ming army still has a certain combat effectiveness, and the possibility of such a thing as a one-touch collapse is very small.
This seems to be a trap already?
Reason told Ao Bai that it was better to give up the plan to steal the camp and wait for the day to attack in a dignified manner.
But emotions don't allow Ao Bai to do this, if he really doesn't do anything, and he slips back like this, then it's not just him who worships one person, it's the entire yellow flag.
In the future, the entire yellow flag will become a laughing stock.
And Ao Bai also has a trace of luck in his heart.
What if there are traps? Just be careful.
The mighty Eight Banners Warriors are by no means intimidated by mere intrigue and intrigue.
At that moment, Ao Bai gritted his teeth and shouted: "The soldiers are divided into two ways and continue to move forward!" I want to see, how long can the Ming dog be a turtle with a shrunken head? If they have the ability, they have been hiding and not showing their heads! β
The 300 Eight Banners divided into two roads and rushed forward along the passage behind the platform.
Anyway, it has been discovered by the Ming army, so there is no need to hide it anymore.
In less than half a cup of tea, Ao Bai rushed to the next platform with 150 Eight Banner soldiers, and as long as he crossed the thirty pace-wide trench, he could directly attack the platform.
"Attack!" Ao Bai gave the order without hesitation.
Five white-armored soldiers led the charge with large bows.
The rest of the red armor, waistcoats, and infantry were busy clearing the trenches with sharp stakes and bamboo thorns.
However, at this moment, a huge fire suddenly ignited on the platform in front of him, and the bright light suddenly illuminated the trenches around the platform as bright as day.
The Jiannu who were crowded in the retreat passage also had nothing to hide.
Ao Bai and the dozens of Jiannu who entered the trench looked up sharply, and saw that on the fence next to the platform, there were already bird guns with black holes, and there were extremely large numbers, at least hundreds of poles!
"So many birds?!" Ao Bai couldn't help but be surprised.
However, even more terrifying was yet to come, and almost at the same time as the fire was ignited, a row of holes reserved for the fence of the platform spewed out red flames.
A huge roar ensued.
"Tiger Squat Cannon!" Ao Bai roared.
This wave is miserable, at least more than ten tiger squat cannons!
With a roar, a cannonball grazed Aobai's cheek, and a spark instantly bloomed on the cast-iron bowl, and then a mournful flood sounded behind him.
Suddenly turned around, only to see that the Eight Banners soldiers following behind him had staggered.
Many vests and infantry had fallen in pools of blood, struggling and wailing.
This was not over, followed by the dense sound of "Woo Woo Boom", but hundreds of bird guns set up on the wooden fence in front of them opened fire fiercely at the same time.
This wave of firepower was mainly poured on the white-armored soldiers in front.
Although the white-armored soldiers are wearing triple armor, it is also very painful to be hit by hundreds of leads, one lead is nothing, and dozens of leads together are a huge force!
With the screams, the five white-armored soldiers had fallen to the ground.
"Get up, rush up!" Ao Bai is also extremely fierce, and he hasn't given up at this time.
In the loud roar of Aobai, the five white-armored soldiers got up one after another, and the Eight Banners soldiers crowded in the passage also quickly stabilized their positions, preparing to continue to clear the wooden stakes and bamboo thorns in the trench.
However, the Ming army did not give a chance at all.
The musketeers of the first row of Ming soldiers finished their guns and quickly turned and retreated.
Immediately after that, the second row of musketeers appeared behind the wooden fence, and poured fire on the five white-armored soldiers and dozens of eight-banner soldiers who entered the trench.
The five white-armored soldiers fell to the ground again.
The red armor, horse armor and infantry armor that entered the trench suffered heavy casualties.
And what made Ao Bai feel even more suffocated was that the Ming army on the platform in front of him did not seem to reload the Tiger Squat Cannon, but directly replaced more than a dozen Tiger Squat Cannons that had been loaded!
For the Tiger Squat Cannon, the gun change is faster!
The Ming gunners were hammering iron drills into the ground.
Seeing this, Aobai's heart suddenly lifted.
Fix the tiger claw with an iron drill, and more than a dozen tiger squat cannons can be fired again!
"Stand back!" Ao Bai roared in amazement, "Stand back, stand back, stand back!" β
After a few shouts, Ao Bai grabbed a red tooth that fell to the ground and convulsed and retreated into the passage, and the five white-armored soldiers who had just gotten up also hurriedly took the injured or killed Eight Banners soldiers to retreat.
By this moment, everyone understood that the camp had failed.
However, no one in Jiannu, including Aobai, realized that the suffering had just begun.
Not long after Ao Bai retreated into the passage with the frightened Eight Banner soldiers, more than a dozen tiger squat cannons in front of him opened fire fiercely again, pouring dense lead bullets into the passage.
Especially the 30 double closing bullets, it is really a broken limb of the middle.
The effective range of the Tiger Squat Cannon is more than 300 steps, and the lethality within 150 steps is still extremely impressive.
The dozen or so Eight Banner soldiers who fell to the back screamed and fell to the ground, including a white-armored soldier, who was hit by a closed bullet and shattered directly.
However, the remaining Eight Banners finally passed through the passage and entered the trench outside.
At this time, Yabran also retreated from another passage to the outer trench with another group of Jiannu.
Seeing that Yabulan's bowl was deflated and the tassel spear above his head had disappeared, Ao Bai knew that Yabulan's side had also suffered a loss, and said that he would have to plant a big heel fight again tonight.
"Jabran, how many dead and wounded are there on your side?"
"I don't know, but certainly not less than fifty."
"Damn, where did these Ming dogs get so many tricks?"
"Yes, Minggou is too cunning, it's really hard to guard."
The two teams thought they were safe, and while they were gasping for breath, the night sky on the left and right suddenly lit up, and even the deafening sound of cannon fire came.
"Still coming?!" Aobai's eyes widened suddenly.
"Is there an end?" Yabran also had a terrifying expression on his face.
Then, under the frightened eyes of more than 200 Jiannu, countless "invisible" lead particles poured down from the night sky on the left and right sides like a torrential rain.
Jiannu, who thought he was safe, was beaten again.
Suddenly, the trench resounded with one after another terrible wails.
Ao Bai and Yabran also received a lot of lead on their bodies, and when it rang, they both felt a little confused in their heads.
It was also at this time that Ao Bai and Yabran finally understood that the night had no effect on the Ming army at all, and the Ming army's tiger squat artillery could still accurately hit the target area.
"Retreat! Evacuate the Ming army formation, hurry up and retreat! Hurry back! β
With the hysterical roar of Aobai, more than 200 Jiannu withdrew in embarrassment.
From Jiannu quietly touching the defense line of the Ming army to retreating in embarrassment, it was only about half an hour before and after, but Ao Bai experienced a nightmare half an hour and was completely stunned.
Tonight's poaching camp was a complete failure.
It seems that every step is in the calculation of the Ming army.
