The northwest corner of the Ming army camp.

A massacre against the Eight Banners of Mongolia is unfolding.

In the beginning, everything went pretty well.

Because the horse's hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, the horse's mouth was chewed, and even the cavalry on horseback had a wooden stick in his mouth, so he didn't make any sound from beginning to end.

And the Ming army did not seem to have placed an ambush army on the periphery of the camp.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners Mongols were even dreaming of the Ming army after they were defeated.

In Chinese history, there have been countless examples of a small number of cavalry launching night attacks and defeating tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, so the cavalry of the Eight Banners Mongols felt that they could do the same.

However, such dreams were soon replaced by nightmares.

Their nightmare began when they approached about thirty paces away from the Ming army, and could even see the Ming army standing guard by the campfire.

First, the horses in the front row fell without warning.

Trapping horse pits, mixing down the war horses are countless trapping pits.

Immediately afterwards, a monstrous fire ignited in front of the front.

In the firelight, groups of heavily loaded Ming infantry sat up from their knees on the ground.

I saw that these Ming soldiers were holding self-generated firearms in their hands, and then the muzzles of the Ming army's self-generated firearms spewed out clusters of red light, and the red light was accompanied by dense gunshots like bursting beans.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia, which were moving forward in the dark, fell down in rows.

The cavalry in the rear hastened and tried to quickly cross the death distance.

The Mongolian cavalry of the Eight Banners believed that as long as they were allowed to rush to the Ming infantry, the battle would be over.

It is a pity that the Ming army did not give a chance at all, followed by the sound of the gunfire was the sound of the tiger squat cannon, the tiger squat cannon was more ferocious than the self-made fire, and the lead was poured over piece by piece.

More than 1,000 Mongolian people who attacked the Eight Banners suddenly turned on their backs.

……

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but let out a cold sweat.

Damn cunning Chongzhen, this is really a trap.

Thanks to the fact that he only sent one Eight Banners Mongol of Jiala, even if all the people were killed in battle, the loss was not too big.

However, the failure of this night attack also reminded Hong Chengchou that he should not easily fight the idea of night attacks in the future, Chongzhen knows that the soldiers are beyond doubt, and there is no need to be lucky about this.

Any commander who knows the army will not leave the enemy a chance to attack at night.

In addition, Hong Chengchou was also inspired by the Ming army and prepared to set a trap in turn.

At that moment, Hong Chengchou called Hong Da to him and ordered: "Ah Da, the reinforcements of King Dingnan should arrive in another hour or two, you should go up and tell him now, extinguish the torch and quietly rush here, and then quietly replace this piece of Lian Yong, if the Ming army does not come to attack at night, it will be fine, if you dare to come, you will beat them off guard." ”

"Huh!" Hong Da took the order and left.

……

Chongzhen and Xu Yingwei also witnessed the night attack just now.

Seeing the Jiannu cavalry falling to the ground under the fire of flintlock pistols and tiger squatting cannons, Jiang Tianyi, Zheng Sen, and Zhang Huangyan suddenly cheered.

Xu Yingwei also said with a smile: "Hong Chengchou still has a fluke mentality. ”

"Expected." Chongzhen said with a smile, "If you don't go to the Yellow River, you won't give up, and if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, but it's a pity that this time I only ate more than 1,000 cavalry from Jiannu." ”

Xu Yingwei said: "Holy Lord, it's better to launch a night attack now." ”

Yan Yingyuan also said: "Yes, now to launch a night attack, the defenders of the opposite side of the platform only have to practice Yong, if they still wait until the night attack is launched according to the original plan, then the Eight Banners Han Army and even the Eight Banners Manchuria may arrive, and it will be difficult to capture the platform at that time, even if it can capture the platform, the price it needs to pay will increase exponentially." ”

When Chongzhen heard it, he felt that it made sense, and immediately nodded in agreement: "I'm right." ”

Xu Yingwei immediately turned around and shouted: "Order, the North Korean army is assembled and standby." ”

"The 1st Infantry Town and the 2nd Infantry Town cover the flanks and block the enemy's flank attacks."

"The rest of the infantry towns and cavalry towns are on standby, ready to respond at any time."

"All field artillery brigades and mountain artillery brigades will carry out salvo fire on the target platform according to the pre-calibration of Zhuyuan!"

The staff officer of the General Staff Section quickly conveyed the military order, and soon, piles of bonfires were lit in the camp of the Ming army, which was the wheat straw collected during the day, and there were local ones in Jinghai.

……

Hong Chengchou finished issuing the military order and was just about to leave Xiaotubao, but as a result, a fire ignited in the camp of the Ming army, which illuminated the night sky at once.

"This?" Hong Chengchou raised his head reluctantly, "The Ming army is also going to attack at night?" ”

As he spoke, more bonfires lit up from inside the Ming army camp.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Chengchou and several family members behind him inhaled at the same time.

I saw that in the light of the fire, the Ming army had already set up rows of red-coated cannons.

"Oh my God, so many cannons?" Ding Honger shouted in horror, "If you don't talk about it, you have to have a thousand doors!" ”

Before the words fell, the red-clothed cannons of the Ming army began to fire one after another, but they saw clusters of red light blooming, and then streamers of light flew through the night sky.

This is the trajectory left by the iron bullet in the air.

It wasn't until rows of streamers flew over the Qing army's guntai position that the huge roar finally reached the ears of Hong Chengchou and more than a dozen family members, and the eardrums almost burst.

Hong Chengchou subconsciously covered his ears.

"It's troublesome, the canal is estimated to be unguarded."

There was only one thought left in Hong Chengchou's mind.

……

"It's so beautiful!" Looking at the meteor shower that filled the night sky, Zhang Zongren couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhang Zongren was originally just a dilapidated settlement in Jinghai County, and he was lucky to escape the great turmoil during the Ming and Qing dynasties, but in the end he was recruited as a practitioner in the Qing Dynasty.

Nothing else, it's just too tempting.

Every 20 acres of vocational land does not need to pay grain.

With such generous conditions, a fool should not be recruited.

So Zhang Zongren became a practitioner in the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing that the army was going to go on a northern expedition and snatch away the job field that the Qing court had rewarded him, Zhang Zongren did not hesitate to use his homemade spear and short knife and came to the platform on the east bank of the canal.

The Lian Yong who guarded the platform was almost the same as Zhang Zongren.

Most of them are local to Jinghai County, but some have moved from Shanxi.

When have these farmer men ever seen such a magnificent picture?

Looking at the meteor rain that fell overwhelmingly, they all looked stupid.

There were even a few who regarded this as a striking iron flower, clapping their hands and cheering heartlessly.

But this was not an iron flower after all, and in an instant, a rain of meteors and fires fell overwhelmingly within a radius of 2,000 steps, covering at least a hundred platforms.

One of the "shooting stars" landed in the platform where Zhang Zongren was located.

And the landing point was less than three feet away from Zhang Zongren, Zhang Zongren only felt a heat wave passing by, and then he heard a bang, followed by a large amount of mud and sand splashing violently.

Zhang Zongren's entire face was instantly covered.

Because he was defenseless, his eyes, nose and mouth instantly got a lot of mud and sand.

The mud and sand were still hot, and Zhang Zongren was suddenly scalded, and he screamed wow, it was so hot! It's a scald! What the hell is this?

At this time, a thousand always rushed out of the bunker.

Qian was always sent from the Eight Banners Han Army, and he had seen the scene of the Ming army firing artillery.

"Minggou has shot, Minggou has shot!" Mr. Qian shouted, "Hide, hide, hide in the bunker, or hide behind the wall on the side of the Ming army, hurry!" ”

Hearing the roar of President Qian, Zhang Zongren and others woke up like a dream before practicing bravery, and hurriedly scattered and hid.

Zhang Zongren also hid behind the parapet wall on the side of the Ming army for the first time, right next to Mr. Qian.

At this time, Zhang Zongren was already trembling with fright, and asked Mr. Qian: "My lord, the artillery bombardment of the Ming army is so terrible. ”

"Terrible?" Mr. Qian smiled and said, "If you have been exposed to the close-range lake face of the red-coated cannon, you won't feel how terrible the long-distance shelling is, this is an iron lump, and it is nothing at all." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zongren's face instantly turned pale with fright.

"Boy, I'm going to tease you." Mr. Qian patted Zhang Zongren again and said, "Although the lake face of the red-clothed cannon of the Ming Dog is very powerful, it can only be used for defending the city, and now we are defending the city and the Ming Dog is attacking, so there is no need to worry." ”

Zhang Zongren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, you are really powerful, you know everything." ”

"It's nothing." Mr. Qian said, "If you haven't died after this battle, you are a veteran, and you will know a little bit about everything." ”

……

Ri Woo-sung was also inspiring the 100 North Korean troops under his command.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that when this battle is won, the soldiers who perform well among us will have the opportunity to enter the country without examination with the warriors of the Ming Dynasty."

"Do you know what that means?"

"It means that we can also become such a national student!"

After Li Yucheng finished speaking, he pointed to Guozisheng who was passing back and forth in the camp.

Hearing this, the eyes of the North Korean soldiers lined up became scorching.

For them, it is already good to have the opportunity to become a Ming Dynasty person.

If there is still a chance to become a son of the country, it is simply a crow turning into a phoenix.

Such an opportunity to turn around should not be missed, even if it is only in case.

"Listen, this is our only chance to leave that sinful land and become a Ming Man, or even a Ming Scholar! Don't miss out! So when it's our turn to attack, don't hesitate, don't be afraid, don't retreat, and be sure to rush up and take down Jiannu's guntai! ”

At this time, a country student rushed towards this side.

Immediately afterward, another Guozisheng, who was guarding in front of them, gave the order.

"Forward!" Li Yucheng pulled out his short gun and led it forward, and 100 North Korean soldiers marched forward.

During the march, Li Yucheng found that dozens of North Korean military formations were moving forward.

Looking at the neat formation of the North Korean military in front and back, left and right, and then looking up at the streamers of artillery shells passing in the night sky, Li Yucheng suddenly felt a strong self-confidence in his heart.

With such military might, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to lose.
