It was the North Korean army that was responsible for guarding the perimeter of the platform. Diaphragm

Moreover, Yan Yingyuan did not tell the North Korean army that Jiannu's real target was the North Korean army on the east bank of the canal, and it was precisely because of this that the Korean army on the periphery of the platform would be so lax.

Yes, that's right, Yan Yingyuan did it on purpose.

Yan Yingyuan didn't even place thistles or antlers in the trenches on the periphery.

Of course, Yan Yingyuan drove those Korean troops who had not yet become naturalized in China.

Of course, Yan Yingyuan would not be so cruel to the 5,000 Korean troops who had been naturalized in China, but with other North Korean troops as cannon fodder, Yan Yingyuan did not have any psychological obstacles.

is soft-hearted, but he can't be the commander of the three armies.

It wasn't until the Eight Banners Han Army leaned the ladder against the parapet that the Korean army on the platform finally found out. Diaphragm

"There are Jiannu! Jiannu Night Attack! The sentry behind the parapet roared violently.

"Woohoo!" Immediately, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, but it was the Jiannu musketeers on the other side of the trench who opened fire one after another, and a dense rain of bullets poured down, instantly knocking down the sentry guards of the North Korean army.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Fuchen carried a steel knife on his waist, and climbed quickly to the platform with his hands and feet.

Wang Fuchen's height was originally high, and his legs and feet were long, so he had already climbed the parapet wall that was only two zhang high in a few strokes, and then pulled out the horse slasher at his waist and threw himself down from the parapet.

The North Korean soldier who bore the brunt of the attack subconsciously raised his flintlock pistol and tried to block the knife.

said that it was too late, and Wang Fuchen's horse chopping knife had already slashed heavily on the flintlock pistol.

Wang Fuchen's horse chopping knife is not an ordinary horse chopping knife, but a custom horse chopping knife that is lengthened, thickened and weighted. Diaphragm

In fact, there were many generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't look like human beings, such as Lu Xiangshenggong, who was a scholar in the army, and the machete he used actually weighed 136 pounds!

Wang Fuchen is not as good as Lu Xiangshengmeng, but it is not much worse.

Wang Fuchen's horse chopping knife is five feet long and weighs more than fifty pounds!

Hearing only a bang, the flintlock pistol in the hands of the North Korean army actually broke in two from the middle.

Of course, the barrel of the flintlock pistol was not cut off, but was broken from the weld, and the quality of the flintlock pistol made by Jiannu was not as good as the flintlock pistol produced by Daming.

Wang Fuchen's knife broke the barrel of the gun, and the remaining momentum was inexhaustible, and the head of the North Korean army was cracked open.

All this is a long story, but in fact, it is in a blink of an eye, so for the other North Korean troops on the platform, the shock caused is simply indescribable. Diaphragm

Anyway, I saw a giant who was nearly seven feet tall, wearing heavy armor and a hooded scarf with a visor, wielding a horse chopping knife that was taller than a human being, suddenly stepped over the parapet and struck into the platform, and then cracked the head of their head Park Sung-tae-kun in half, and splashed his brain on the ground.

"Ghost, ghost is coming!" The rest of the North Korean troops panicked.

Wang Fuchen would not let go of such a good opportunity, followed by a night battle and eight wildernesses, and in the flickering cold light, the two Korean soldiers closest to him were instantly cut in half, and their internal organs flowed all over the place.

It must be admitted that Wang Fuchen is really a general!

At this time, the other Eight Banners Han Army also followed into the platform.

Wang Fuchen immediately took a few steps back, leaning against the parapet and gasping slightly.

Although he was far from the limit of his physical fitness, the two knives just now still consumed a lot of physical energy, and the first heavy platform of the Ming army had been broken through, so he was unwilling to rush forward in the lead. Diaphragm

However, even if there is no Wang Fuchen, the victory of the Eight Banners Han Army is decided.

Because the North Korean army stationed at the outlying fortress has been defeated.

……

"Hong Butang, your plan to attack the west and the east has worked."

Hou Fangyu pointed ahead and said, "The Ming army in the outermost platform on the east bank has been routed. ”

Standing on the nest car several feet high, you can clearly see the battlefield on the east bank of the canal through the telescope.

Hong Chengchou frowned and didn't answer, but felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, it stands to reason that Yan Yingyuan's reputation shouldn't be so careless? Is it difficult to live up to the fame? Diaphragm

"Hong Butang, are you doubting that Yan Yingyuan shouldn't be so careless?"

"Isn't it? Yan Yingyuan shouldn't be able to peek through the voice of the headquarters to attack the east. ”

"Hey, as the saying goes, those who drown will be able to water, and those who fall to death will also go up to the tree, this kind of thing is always inevitable for famous generals, Zhuge Liang, who is wise and close to demons, was also beaten by Hao Zhao in Chencang Pass and lost his armor."

"Hou joins the army, that's the story inside." Hong Chengchou's face fell, "It's not a historical fact. ”

"Aren't there many such examples in history?" Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "Xu Da, the god of war of the former Ming Dynasty, almost never tasted defeat in his life, but he was defeated in the Battle of Lingbei, and directly buried the heaven-sent opportunity to pursue and destroy Mongolia by victory, which led to the confrontation between the former Ming and the Northern Yuan Dynasty that lasted for nearly three hundred years. ”

This time, Hong Chengchou did not refute and could not refute.

In the battle of Lingbei, Xu Da was indeed a little careless. Diaphragm

In this way, Yan Yingyuan is also careless this time?

Just as Hong Chengchou was thinking about it, the Eight Banners Han Army had successfully captured all the platforms on the periphery, and bit the butt of the Ming army to attack the second platform.

……

Yan Yingyuan and Xie Yuancai were on one of the third platforms.

Seeing the North Korean army retreating along the trench, Xie Yuancai panicked.

"Ji Heng, is this really going to happen? Jiannu bit the butt of the North Korean army and chased after it, our army had no way to aim, so we couldn't shoot directly at the North Korean army, right? What to do? ”

"What to do?" Yan Yingyuan said, "Then send Jiannu another heavy platform." "Ahh

"What? Send Jiannu a heavy platform again? Xie Yuancai asked in surprise, "In this way, isn't there only one heavy platform left on the east bank of the canal?" What if it is lost again? ”

"Lao Tzu said: If you want to take it, you must give it first."

Yan Yingyuan said: "You have to give Jiannu some sweetness so that they can plant a big fight." ”

After saying this, he shouted in a low voice: "Pass my general order, the defenders of the second heavy platform will retreat with a few shots, but they cannot retreat after retreating to the trenches on both sides of the third heavy platform." ”

More than a dozen Guozi students received the military order and immediately rushed away.

Soon, the 11th Sentinel Ming Army guarding the second heavy platform followed and retreated.

The Eight Banners Han Army easily captured the second heavy platform without much effort. Diaphragm

However, when the Eight Banners Han army was ready to make persistent efforts and then seize the third and last heavy platform on the east bank of the canal, it was stubbornly blocked by the Ming army.

The Ming army, which was still fleeing just now, suddenly stopped and lined up to fight back.

This kind of tactical action of suddenly turning into on-the-spot blocking on the way to "retreat" was only possible in the Eight Banners Manchuria in the past, but now the Ming army can also do it, and even better than the Eight Banners Manchuria.

The reason for this is also very simple, the Ming army already has a large number of high-quality officers.

A large number of officers who had received systematic military academy education entered the army, which made the command and dispatch of the Ming army like an arm's finger.

The Ming army guarding the third heavy platform opened fire at the same time, pouring torrential lead on the heads of the pursuing Eight Banners Han Army, and the unsuspecting Eight Banners Han Army fell to the ground in a row.

…… Diaphragm

At this time, the Eight Banners Han Army was really caught off guard.

The cloth armor on the Eight Banners Han Army couldn't bear it at all.

In an instant, hundreds of the Eight Banners Han Army were overthrown.

"Come back!" Seeing this, Wang Fuchen, who was shrinking behind, hurriedly ordered loudly.

"Come back, hurry back, retreat to the second heavy platform and shoot at the Ming army!"

It is not only the Ming army that is equipped with self-generated firearms, but the Eight Banners Han Army is also equipped with self-generated firearms, and it is a one-man shot, and they can completely suppress the Ming army with their numerical and firepower advantages.

Wang Fuchen's idea is very good, but the reality is extremely cruel. Diaphragm

After withdrawing to the second heavy platform, Wang Fuchen was stunned to find that the Ming army had actually cut off the rear half of the parapet wall and slope facing west, which was very disgusting.

Because the Ming army could hide behind the parapet and fire, showing only a head.

However, the Eight Banners Han Army did not have a wall to cover, so their whole body was exposed.

Only the head is exposed on one side, but the whole body is exposed, how can this be beaten?

This is not the most disgusting, the most disgusting thing is that the Ming army actually pulled out the red-coated cannon, because the distance is close, the red-coated cannon is not loaded with a solid iron bullet, but hundreds of leads, hundreds of bullets!

The shotgun of the red coat cannon at close range is much more ferocious than the tiger squat cannon.

Because the chamber pressure of these two kinds of guns is completely incomparable, so the lethality is also a world of difference, in a word, as long as the body is covered with a stomach, there is still a chance to survive when the tiger squat cannon. Diaphragm

But if you are unfortunate enough to be shot by a redcoat cannon,

Even if you are wearing triple armor, you will still be shot into a sieve!

The Ming army used more than 100 red-coated cannons, which were erected in advance between the battlements of the retaining wall.

At this time, the Eight Banners Han Army was beaten miserably, only one row of artillery bombardment, and the Eight Banners Han Army that retreated to the second heavy platform fell a large area, and in just this way, at least thousands of Eight Banners Han troops fell to the ground, and most of them were killed on the spot.

……

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene from the field of vision of the telescope, Hong Chengchou was stunned. Diaphragm

Because the propagation speed of the sound was relatively slow, Hong Chengchou only saw the red light shining, and then he saw the Eight Banners Han Army that had retreated to the second heavy platform fall one by one, and he was stunned on the spot.

Hou Fangyu also couldn't believe his eyes.

"What's wrong? Was this an ambush? ”

Just as the two looked at each other, the loud sound of cannon fire finally came.

"This is the redcoat cannon?" Hou Fangyu shouted, "Minggou has already prepared the red-clothed cannon on the third platform, and the muzzle of the cannon is also aimed at the second platform, and he also cut off the back half of the parapet wall of the second platform?" Just wait for the Eight Banners Han Army to enter the second heavy platform and fire a hundred cannons, and I am afraid that it will still use a hundred bullets! ”

"I want to get away with it!" Hong Chengchou's eyes suddenly became fierce.

"What a Yan Yingyuan, he has already designed a plan to capture the old and wait for the headquarters!" Diaphragm

Hou Fangyu sighed and said: "Hong Butang, the opportunity for tonight's battle has been lost, let's retreat." ”

"You can't withdraw, the show has just begun." Hong Chengchou said, "It's still early to end." ”
