"Huh?"

"This?!"

Hou Fangyu was instantly stunned.

Hong Chengchou also suddenly grabbed the monocular in his hand.

What's going on? How did the artillery positions of the Green Battalion suddenly blow up?

Could it be that the red-coated artillery of the Ming army launched a counterattack? But it's not right, the Ming army's guns didn't see the muzzle flame of the red-coated cannons, and the shelling couldn't have this face, right?

Soon, a loud explosion poured into the ear holes of the two men.

Hou Fangyu reacted instantly: "Landmines, it's a minefield!" ”

Hong Chengchou roared even more out of shape: "Serial scheme, good thief, good Yan Yingyuan, this is his carefully designed serial scheme, we fell for Yan Yingyuan's serial scheme!" ”

"Serial scheme?" Hou Fangyu looked dazed, "What serial scheme?" ”

"Yan Yingyuan did it on purpose!" Hong Chengchou continued to roar, "He deliberately gave us two heavy guns, just to lure us into being fooled, just to lure us to pull the red-coated cannon to the front of the first heavy platform to bombard the Ming army, and then blow up our red-coated cannon with a mine array planted in advance!" ”

"Can't you?" Hou Fangyu was dumbfounded and said, "Can this be expected in advance?" ”

"What's so hard about that? To put it bluntly, it's actually worthless! Hong Chengchou was really remorseful at this moment, waving his hands and continuing to roar, "Yan Yingyuan deliberately loaded his red-clothed cannon with 100 bullets, killing and injuring a large number of Eight Banners Han Army, just to lure us to follow and reload 100 bullets. ”

"Although the lethality of 100 bullets is huge, the range is not far."

"In order to ensure a large number of kills and wounds of the Ming army, the closer the distance, the better."

"So our artillery position can only be in front of the slope protection of the first heavy platform, so Yan Yingyuan only needs to bury the mines there, damn it, he should have thought of it a long time ago!"

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said: "This guy is really scheming, and he is also a ring after a ring, which is simply unguardable......"

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou suddenly paused.

Hou Fangyu subconsciously turned around and asked, "Hong Butang, why don't you speak?" ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly roared: "Ahhh The matter is not over yet, Yan Yingyuan must still have a back hand, there will be a chain after the chain, and the outer trenches are not safe! ”

"Mines!" Hou Fangyu's color changed, "There are also minefields in the outer trenches!" ”

"Mingjin!" Hong Chengchou had already yelled, and even his voice almost broke out, "Hurry up Mingjin, withdraw the troops, hurry up and let Datong Town withdraw, let Datong Town withdraw, ...... quickly"

Hong Daben hurriedly rang the gong on the hanging nest car.

However, the Han army of the Eight Banners in the trench ahead did not react.

Hong Daben said with a bitter face: "Master, the distance is too far. ”

"And the battlefield is too noisy." Hou Fangyu also said with a dark face, "I can't hear it at all." ”

It was really inaudible ahead, because the gunfire on the battlefield never stopped, and from time to time there were powder kegs exploding, making huge explosions, which were enough to drown out the sound of gongs in the distance.

"Then hang the signal lights!" Hong Chengchou paused and said, "Hang the signal light!" ”

"Oh yes, the traffic light." Hong Da woke up like a dream.

Hurry up and hang out the signal light with the family.

……

Yan Yingyuan also saw the signal light.

"Only then did you think of retreating? It's late! ”

Yan Yingyuan snorted coldly, and then turned around and shouted: "Order, detonate the ground word mine array!" ”

For today's war, Yan Yingyuan prepared a full 10,000 new mines, and carefully compiled two chain mine arrays of Tianzi and Dizi, which were used to deal with Jiannu's artillery units and infantry corps respectively.

Guo Zisheng behind him immediately shouted: "Yan has an order to detonate the ground word mine array!" ”

With the shouts one after another, more than a dozen Guozi students who were in charge of lighting the fire lit the fuse at the same time, and more than a dozen sets of fuses immediately popped forward and burned rapidly.

Yan Yingyuan raised the telescope once again and focused his vision on the trench ahead.

Because the height is not enough to see, it is not clear to see the situation in the trench ahead, but you can imagine it with your buttocks, and the Jiannu who are crowded in the trench must have retreated at this time.

However, how could an army of nearly 10,000 people retreat so easily?

How long does it take to see the light signal, to confirm the order, then to give the order from the front commander, and finally to convey the order to retreat to the battalions, sentinels, and teams below?

And you can't go too fast, otherwise it's easy to break out.

For an army, retreat is the greatest test.

So although it takes time for the fuse to burn, Yan Yingyuan is not in a hurry at all.

After about five minutes or so, the ditch of the first and second platforms in front of me burst into a dazzling red light, lighting up the night sky again.

The Jiannu in the trench was blown up.

Xie Yuancai was completely numb at this time.

"When did you lay the mines?"

"When you sleep." Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "You can't do this work during the day, you can only do it at night." ”

After a pause, Yan Yingyuan shouted word by word: "Order, blow the trumpet of the charge, the 7th Infantry Brigade will counterattack on all fronts, and kill the Jiannu infantry in the trench and the Jiannu artillery outside the trench!" ”

"Yan has an order, and the 7th Infantry Brigade will counterattack on all fronts!"

The loud trumpet soon sounded: "Dot-to-......"

In the next moment, more than 4,000 Ming soldiers held flintlock muskets with good bayonets and launched a tidal charge.

……

Wang Fuchen originally wanted to break off, but when he saw this posture, he immediately lost his courage.

This guy is also fatal, and the dense mine array just now didn't kill him.

As a veteran of the battlefield who has experienced a hundred battles, Wang Fuchen knows better than anyone that at this time, personal martial arts cannot play any role at all, not to mention the Ming army, even a group of ants can drown him.

"Get out of here!" Wang Fuchen did not hesitate to set aside the two Eight Banner Han troops in front of him.

After pushing aside the two Eight Banners Han Army, Wang Fuchen immediately captured another one.

The unlucky Han army was caught and thrown aside by Wang Fuchen like an eagle catching a chicken.

But there were too many Eight Banners Han troops in front of him, and Wang Fuchen couldn't squeeze through them at all.

Fortunately, Wang Fuchen has extremely rich experience in saving his life, and this difficulty is difficult for him.

"Thief!" Wang Fuchen jumped up, and directly stepped on the shoulder helmet of the Eight Banners Han Army, and then jumped up with a kick on the helmet, and climbed the edge of the trench with both hands, and climbed up again.

On the platform, Wang Fuchen threw off a pair of long legs and ran towards the east desperately.

Wang Fuchen is tall and has long legs, and he has a lot of experience in escaping, and the other Eight Banners Han Army does not have this ability.

So not long after, the Ming army caught up with the fleeing Eight Banners Han Army, first with a volley, and then with bayonets, and the Eight Banners Han Army fell in a pool of blood in rows.

……

Hong Chengchou watched this scene through a telescope and almost died on the spot.

This is really completely over, not only the green battalion that attacked but also the two hundred red-clothed cannons are finished, and Wang Fuchen's 10,000 elite infantry soldiers must also be finished, this is the most elite of the Eight Banners Han Army!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou really regretted his intestines.

If I knew this, I should have gone up to another town.

However, there is no regret medicine to buy in the world, so you can only admit it.

"Yan Yingyuan!" Hong Chengchou's gaze turned to the Chen Guantun camp of the Ming army.

"Today's Motobu Hall is considered to have been taught, but the battle between you and me has just begun!"

Hou Fangyu was still a little unwilling, and said sharply: "Hong Butang, is it just that?" ”

"Or else?" Hong Chengchou sighed, "Invest more Eight Banners Han Army to launch a counterattack? Useless! At this time, the morale of our Qing soldiers was already depressed, and any further fighting would only increase casualties. ”

Hou Fangyu also fell silent for a while.

……

As the night passed, the sky brightened.

The Ming army was still cleaning up the battlefield.

A Han soldier of the Eight Banners who was pretending to be dead suddenly jumped up and ran away.

"Stop, or you'll shoot!" The Ming army behind him immediately issued a warning.

However, the Eight Banners Han Army ignored it and just buried its head and ran forward.

Immediately a gunshot rang out, and the Eight Banners Han Army was immediately shot in the back, and ran forward a few steps under the action of inertia before falling to the ground.

When Yan Yingyuan and Xie Yuancai came to the battlefield surrounded by a group of national students, they happened to see this scene.

However, Yan Yingyuan did not mean to blame at all, but told the soldiers of the Ming army who were cleaning the battlefield to be careful and not to be hurt by the Jiannu who pretended to be dead.

After telling him, Yan Yingyuan called the commander of the 7th Infantry Brigade to him.

The brigade commander of the 7th Brigade is also a Qinwang Shizi, and said happily to Yan Yingyuan: "Brother Wanheng, we killed more than 6,000 Jiannu in this battle last night, including more than 4,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Han Army and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Green Battalion. ”

"In addition, more than 7,000 flintlock pistols and 200 cannons in red coats were captured."

It is also normal that more flintlock pistols were captured than there were killed slaves.

Because many Jiannu will take off their armor when they escape, and even throw away their weapons.

Speaking of this, the brigade commander said with some regret, "It's a pity that these firearms are too bad." ”

"Only more than six thousand?" Yan Yingyuan was a little dissatisfied, "It seems that a lot of escapes have been escaped." ”

There were at least 10,000 Jiannu infantry soldiers who went into the attack last night, as well as 200 red-coated cannons, and according to the calculation of one cannon with 30 green battalion soldiers, there were also 6,000, adding up to 16,000!

That is to say, most of the Jiannu who participated in the war last night still ran away.

But this is also reasonable, after all, it is just a rout battle.

Xie Yuancai was very satisfied: "Brother Wanheng, it's already good." ”

"Yes." Yan Yingyuan said with a smile, "According to the information provided by the Secret Investigation Bureau, Jiannu has a total of about 900 red-clothed cannons, excluding the cannons left in Beijing, Hong Chengchou has about 500 in his hands at best, if there are one or two more defeats like last night, Hong Chengchou's army will directly lose the ability to attack the fortifications." ”
