This wave of Baiyintu is also out of the way.

Except for the remaining Jiala's Yellow Flag True Slave Raiding Array, plus 2 Niu Lu's Han Army Banner guarding the sailor Cao boat, the remaining more than 8,000 people were all sent by Baiyintu.

[Note: Chapter 76 has been revised above, because there are a large number of canal locks and bridges, and the bird boats of the Jiannu sailors cannot pass, so they can only come over to the boats]

Including more than 1,200 real slaves with yellow flags, more than 1,800 Han troops of the Eight Banners, more than 2,200 Ming troops and more than 3,000 coats, all of them followed the battlefield.

Before the official attack, Bai Yintu sent dozens of white-armored soldiers to sweep both sides of the canal as usual, and Yiding, who was originally wandering around the periphery of the defense line, did not get too entangled with the Jiannu white-armored soldiers, and got rid of it in time and retreated back to Xia Town.

After successfully blocking the battlefield information, Ao Bai led more than 8,000 people to cross the canal from the Taizhuang Gate Bridge fifteen miles north of Xia Town to the west bank, and then turned around and headed south.

In the past few days, Jiannu has been harassing the northeast corner of Xia Town.

Bai Yintu believed Wang Aoyong's judgment and believed that the Ming army had transferred all the tiger squat cannons to the northeast to the platform, so the platform in other directions would become empty.

So this time it was necessary to launch a surprise attack from the northwest.

Bai Yintu wanted to kill the Ming army by surprise.

Before the beginning of the afternoon, Jiannu advanced to the outside of the defense line of Xia Town.

Immediately, more than 8,000 people were divided into 20 teams and launched simultaneous attacks on the outermost 20 platforms in the northwest.

What does it mean to be white-hot? It is to no longer care about casualties.

In the previous few tentative attacks, Jiannu stopped at a superficial level, and the casualties shrank when they were slightly larger.

But this time, Jiannu no longer cared about these, anyway, he was pushing forward with his life, anyway, he was riveting enough to rush forward and fight violently, until the Ming army collapsed or broke through the defense line.

In pursuit of speed, Jiannu no longer carried out earthwork raids on slope protection.

When they came up, they pushed the partial van and the cart to the top of the slope protection under the fire of the Ming army's tiger squatting cannon, and then the musketeers of the Eight Banners Han Army suppressed the Ming musketeers with the partial van and the cart.

The accuracy of the Ming army's tiger squat cannon was poor, and the loss was not big if it was really opened.

After suppressing the firepower of the Ming army, the Zhennu, the Han army, and the surrendered army quickly entered the trench.

After entering the trench, they no longer cleaned the sharp wooden piles, bamboo thorns or thistles under the trench, but directly removed the railings from the side van and laid them at the bottom of the trench, in addition, before the attack was launched, more than 3,000 coats plus more than 2,200 Ming soldiers also brought more than 5,000 sacks full of soil.

With the blocking board and the sack, the passage for the attack was paved in an instant.

Then the white armor soldiers took the lead and launched a strong attack on the Ming army.

These white-armored soldiers of Jiannu are really strong, not only are they tall and agile, but they are also extremely experienced in combat, they are simply humanoid killing machines.

The middle one is the most rapid.

The three white-armored soldiers stepped on the human ladder and took the lead in climbing over the fence and entering the platform.

Dozens of spearmen of the Ming army in the platform instantly surrounded and stabbed indiscriminately.

The breastplate, cloak, bowl and even throat guard of the three white-armored soldiers were stabbed in an instant, and even if they were replaced by other Jiannu, even if it was a red tooth la, they would have already been stabbed to death.

But the three white-armored soldiers were unscathed.

Not only did he come out unscathed, but he also had the strength to fight back.

The white-armored soldier at the front wielded a long knife and slashed diagonally, cutting a Ming soldier into two.

The two white-armored soldiers in the back were still holding a big bow, and they dared to pull their bows and release arrows at a distance of less than three steps, only to hear the two bowstrings ringing, and the two Ming spearmen were instantly shot through the face door by heavy arrows.

At such a distance, it was impossible for the spearmen of the Ming army to dodge.

"Stab them to death!" The Ming army sentry roared hoarsely.

However, the roar of the Ming army sentry brought death to himself.

The two white-armored soldiers sneered, and pulled out their bows and buckled their heavy arrows at the same time.

After two more bangs, the roar of the Ming sentry came to an abrupt end, and two three-edged heavy arrows shot through his left cheek and right cheek at the same time, piercing his entire head twice.

"The Sentinel has been killed!" The Ming army on the platform collapsed in an instant.

First, a Ming army turned and fled, and then the panic quickly spread.

The three white-armored soldiers strode forward to chase, and behind them, more Red Tooth La, Horse Armor, Infantry Armor, Eight Banners Han Army, and Ming Army Soldiers climbed over the wooden fence like a tide and entered the platform.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the first tower was captured.

……

Chongzhen took his two sons to the canal wharf, and it took more than a quarter of an hour.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour to get on the boat and climb to the 20-meter-high mainmast.

Then, when Chongzhen opened the three monoculars and aimed his vision at the outer defense line in the northwest, he was extremely surprised to find that the outermost platform had actually lost several of them.

Although it was nearly three kilometers away, it was still possible to see clearly with the help of a telescope.

After all, Chongzhen's telescope was given by John Tang, and the multiplier is twice as high as that of other double-section telescopes, so he can see farther and more clearly.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong's little brothers can't see clearly.

With the naked eye, it is difficult to see what is happening from three kilometers away.

"Not good, very bad!" Chongzhen's expression was extremely solemn, and he didn't hand the telescope to one of his two sons as usual, but always paid attention to the battlefield ahead.

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong were shocked when they heard this.

The situation of the Ming army is really bad, or very bad.

In the past few days, it has been the northeast that has been harassed by Jiannu.

Therefore, the three towns in the northeast have already had some combat experience, and their confidence and morale have also risen, but the three towns in the northwest have not fought a single battle, and their confidence and morale have not improved much.

Now Leng Buding was attacked by Jiannu's full force, and he was a little hurried in an instant.

Not long after Chongzhen's father and son went up to Wangdou, that is, a little more than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen guns were lost one after another, and one of them Jiannu had even advanced to the second line of defense.

It was also at this time that the report of the defeat in front also reached Huang Degong's admiral.

Huang Degong hurried to the canal wharf and personally reported the military situation to Chongzhen Wu.

"Holy Lord, the first heavy platform in the northwest region has lost sixteen, and the second heavy platform has also been attacked, the situation is already very critical, the minister requests that the tiger squat artillery and musketeers of each platform in the northeast and southern regions be transferred to the northwest region to strengthen the strength and firepower of each platform in the northwest region!"

Huang Degong's reaction is normal.

The Jiannu offensive is so fierce, and it is in the northwest region, so it is the best solution to transfer the musketeers and tiger squat artillery from the northeast and southern regions to the northwest region.

Chongzhen just wanted to nod, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

This time, Jiannu only invested nearly 10,000 people to attack at the same time from more than a dozen guns in the northwest region, so the Ming army could also draw musketeers and tiger squat cannons from the other two areas to help, but what if one day Jiannu invested more than 100,000 troops to attack from 75 guns in the northwest, northeast and south regions at the same time?

Where else can the Ming army draw reinforcements from then?

Thinking of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It turns out that there is such a big hole in the defense line that he has carefully designed!

If Jiannu invested heavy troops and launched a full-scale attack at any cost, then the more than 500 relatively simple fortifications in the Xia Zhen defense line might not be able to withstand it.

It seems necessary to continue to strengthen the defenses of Xia Town.

Furthermore, you might as well take advantage of the current situation to test the quality of the Xiazhen defense line, and regard it as a project acceptance.

Let's see if we can use up all the Jiannu's sharp qi with a heavy platform until they can't rush anymore.

If it finally blocks Jiannu's all-out onslaught, it proves that Xia Zhen's line of thought is right.

As long as he holds on this time, even if Duoduo or even Dorgon leads the main force of Jiannu in person next time, he may not be able to gnaw at the more thorough and stronger defense line of Xia Zhen.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen made a decision in his heart.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning, let Jiannu be rampant for a while."

"Holy Lord, the minister wants to go to the front to command." Huang Degong made a new request.

"Not really." Chongzhen decisively refused, "The front of each platform only needs a sentry officer to sit in charge, and send people to recall those general soldiers, deputy general soldiers, guerrillas, garrisons, and all of them." ”

Huang Degong could only stay on Zheng Hongkui's flagship, and he was in a hurry.

Zheng Hongkui suddenly pulled out a long bamboo tube from his back and handed it to Huang Degong.

"What?" Huang Degong looked at Zheng Hongkui blankly, "Zheng Guerrilla, what is this?" ”

"It's not a thing, it's called tamba, a kind of grass." Zheng Hongkui grabbed a small piece of golden tobacco from a bag hanging from the bamboo pipe and stuffed it into the copper pot connected to the bamboo pipe.

I lit the tobacco with a scythe, and then took a deep puff.

Immediately, Zheng Hong showed a satisfied expression on his face, and said leisurely: "Smoking can calm the mind, by the way, it can also relieve fatigue, when you are tired, you will be refreshed in an instant, really." ”

"Really, can there be such a god?" Huang Degong took the letter and took it.

Huang Degong took a big puff after taking the dry tobacco pipe, and then coughed violently, almost choking to death.

"Ah, hey, Jing Nanbo, the first time you smoke, you can't take a big sip, you have to take a small sip first." Zheng Hongkui hurriedly took back the dry tobacco pipe and gave Huang Degong a demonstration and took a small sip.

Huang Degong took the dry tobacco pipe again and took a small puff.

A faint spicy sensation instantly penetrated his heart and lungs, and his eyes widened after a moment.

"Hey, it seems to have a wonderful effect on calming the mind." Huang Degong said in disbelief, "I was panicked just now, but now I suddenly don't panic, it's strange, it's really strange." ”

"I didn't lie to you." Zheng Hongkui said with a smile, "Uncle Jingnan, I've sent you." ”

"Give it to me." Huang Degong said happily, "Then I'm welcome." ”

"You're welcome." Zheng Hongkui whispered again, "In the future, I will ask Jingnan Boduo to take care of it." ”

"It's a small thing." Huang Degong waved his hand and said, "My brother, don't be so polite. ”

Well, Zheng Hongkui only used a tube of dry tobacco to become a brother with Huang Degong, which is too cost-effective.
