The Kels could not understand how there could be an explosion underground, and after panicking, they cautiously stepped forward again, and the explosion occurred again.

"This is a trick of the Han people," the Yellow Sect Master beside him wrapped his brown robe tightly:

"It doesn't matter, replace the warriors in front of you, and let Ku'er (slave) and Nake come forward. They just planted gunpowder in the ground, and the more they did, the more it meant that they were there, in the Han language."

"The master is right!" Brother Li lost his head, in fact, he thought it would be more appropriate to use "three hundred taels of silver here", but that was secondary. "Adjust the manpower and get the warriors to stand back." He commanded majestically:

"Command him to go down, and he who rushes up to that mountain shall give him two hundred sheep (that is not allowed to have his own property, unless the master gives it), and the bitter child may be reincarnated in Nako, and take a wife and have children (slaves cannot marry, but can only wait for the master's assignment)."

The order worked, and immediately thousands of slaves and Nako crossed the river and divided into two large groups (not arrays), and then after roaring, they swarmed forward, and for a moment it seemed that the mountains were full of people rushing upwards.

To everyone's astonishment, these people had neither armor nor shields; He carried all kinds of things in his hands, from regular knives and guns to sticks, wooden forks, grass sickles; There are those who wear boots, and there are those who are barefoot!

The officers looked at each other behind the breastwork: "What's the matter, are the Ka'ans so poor?"

One by one, the mines exploded, some people were blown into the air, some had broken legs, some were wounded in the abdomen, and those who fell to the ground wailed.

For technical reasons, at that time, landmines could only be unlucky for those who stepped on them, and they could not be blown up to affect one piece, and the effect of intimidation was actually greater than the damage.

Under the charge of this group of thousands of people, stepping on dozens of mines is not a big deal, and the crowd still rushes up lifelessly in the reward and encouragement.

"Prepare for the firecracker!" After the sharp whistle, the platoon leaders and squad leaders shouted. The firecracker immediately jumped from the trench where he was hiding onto the breastwork.

"First row shooting!" The whistle sounded again, and a new order was delivered, and smoke and dust were everywhere, accompanied by the sound of "crackling" ammunition fire. "Clean up the barrel and the pill!" The platoon commanders shouted.

There was a banging overhead, and then after the whistle there was a burst of "crackling", which was the second row firing, followed by the third row .......

This is different from the mine in front, running, running people are like being hit hard, and it takes a long time to fall down before the feeling of pain and weakness comes, and when you touch it with your hand, it is already drenched in blood.

Looking around, there were comrades who had fallen after being hit, and people instinctively screamed. Others were so frightened that they either lay on the ground, or stood still and didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

It's not terrible to fall one, but a dozen or more people around are scared.

After the three rows of firecrackers, almost all of them who had been standing had fallen, and the rest of the people did not dare to continue to move forward, and began to turn around and run downward, and more and more people ran, and finally all the dead and wounded remained on the hillside.

There were cheers and whistles from the other side, and the Kerers on the shore were still inexplicable, only to see smoke and fire, and then their own people fell down in an uproar, what was going on?

Someone has an idea, hurry back and ask the master! So he quickly returned to the other side to report. Here, Brother Li Mi is losing his temper, why did those people stop and not attack?

Hearing that there were more than 400 dead and wounded after rushing down, and he didn't even see the other party's face clearly, he was stunned and involuntarily turned his head to look at the master. I saw that the master pondered for a moment and sneered, "This is the fire gun."

"Firebolts? What is this, can it be set on fire?" Youkou asked quickly.

The Kerges were far away in Mobei and had not dealt with the Central Plains army for decades, and the veterans who had seen firearms in the Central Plains were basically old or too old to participate in this expedition.

So the vast majority of people don't know why they hear this new term, let alone see it. He had seen the wounds caused by the firearm from the corpse he had brought back a few days before, and he knew how terrible this thing was.

But because of him, no one else knew that there had been this one-sided killing, so they heard the word firecracker

Shi was still at a loss.

In the end, the master has a wealth of knowledge in the end, and he popularized the knowledge to everyone, pointing out that this thing actually has loopholes, that is, the launch interval is relatively long, as long as the charge is continuous, it is difficult for the other party to resist.

"After a hundred paces, then it will be their death, but if they hesitate, it will be the warriors of our army who will die." He admonished everyone.

"Got it, right? They can only fight within a hundred paces, and no matter how far they go, they won't be so lethal!" Dili Mi looked at everyone with murderous vigour: "The army continues to cross the river, and I need a warrior to go to the front to supervise the battle, who will?"

"Please, Lord Steward, appoint me!" A burly strong man pleaded loudly.

"Chu Mi'er, I believe in you!" Brother Li lost his hands and raised his hands:

"Go to the southerners on the other side to prove that you are a true hero, unlike them who only dare to hide in the dirt and live like a cowardly rat!" Na Chu Mi'er roared, jumped on his mount, took his subordinates, and ran towards the pontoon.

But a quarter of an hour later, someone came in a hurry to report that Chu Mi'er led the charge and was killed by a stray bullet in the head. Furious, he immediately appointed another general to step forward.

When the Kelcos were replaced with the fourth commander, Li Dan transcribed the letter to the emperor and put it in an envelope and handed it to the messenger to send to Liaoyang. He listened to the dense shouts outside and asked how the situation was.

Zhao Jingzi reported that tens of thousands of enemies had been crossed. "They have failed to attack several times, but they are changing positions repeatedly, as if testing our weak spots." He said:

"I think my brother may be about to play himself, or he may transfer more men to attack the position. Shouldn't we put the Tiger Squat Cannon on it?"

"No hurry, wait." Li Dan smiled, "The more enemies come over that area, the more they need a safe beachhead. The Kaers will continue to fight for the high ground, and they must not be careless, and they are very persistent!"

Sure enough, after failing to attack again and again, and lying on the high ground with corpses and wounded, he lost his patience. A large number of cavalry began to detour north and south, looking for a gap to encircle the defenders, and the whole front was filled with shouts of killing and the roar of tiger squatting artillery.

Reports kept flying to Li Dan's side. When the Kerrs were shocked to find that this front was several miles long and that the number of defenders exceeded 10,000, they confirmed that the opponent was not a small blockade, but a conscious and purposeful battle!

He ordered his half-brother Ah Qiuhai to lead 5,000 cavalry to the south, because the terrain was relatively low, but they fell into an ambush by Du Wenshui, the general of Dengzhou in the southern group.

The sudden appearance of military spears, hooks, sickles, and muskets in the hills made it impossible for the cavalry to give full play to their advantages, and they condescendingly threw 10,000 enemies into the horse team, causing great confusion among them.

The horses, who did not know what firearms were, had suffered enough to-day, and their masters were busy controlling the horses rather than fighting.

When he found that there were more and more opponents, he began to feel a little uneasy. "How many of them are there?" The Grand Steward muttered, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

The master was still calm and light-hearted, and he thought that there was nothing to be surprised by even if there were 20,000 enemy troops on the other side, and what he had to do now was to break the thin front of the Han people in one fell swoop, and not to be frightened by the superficial losses.

Under his encouragement and encouragement, Dili Lost may have thought of the cold gaze of Yebi Khan staring at him behind his back, so he ordered the men and horses who had already crossed the river:

"There is no fire in the earth, and their guns are about to break, so let us not be afraid! With so many warriors, how can they not even take a small mound? Do you still have the face to go back to see the Great Khan?"

After he finished speaking, he sent his own general, Pingzhang Harita, and asked him to cross the river with two thousand elites and take full command of the battle.

"I'll go alone," said Harita, hesitating and slightly uneasy.

"If I take half of the besieging army away, except for the other half of the besieging army, only the left wing of the 10,000 households will be left, they have suffered a lot of losses during the siege of the city, and now there are only more than 6,000 capable warriors, and the rest are all old and weak, this is ......."

"It's okay, there is no Han army on this side of the river anyway, and even if there is, most of them are infantry, so what can I do

？」 Brother Li lost a sneer:

"Unless Shi Hao suddenly comes back to life now, and comes down from Wulong Ridge with the 20,000 cavalry in his hand. But he'll have to think about how to cross that river first, right?"

Harita thought it was right, and led the people to the other side. His position is equivalent to the deputy of the younger brother, and after arriving at the front line, it will naturally boost the morale of the army to a certain extent.

Harita, who was an experienced man, immediately set about making adjustments, and at the same time had the soldiers make large shields out of wooden rafts to stand in front of Lele's carts, and chose strong and powerful soldier carts in the back, and made rough wooden shields for some of the soldiers to cover in front of them.

When you charge again, the shield is in front and the person is behind. This trick really worked, and after Raozhou soldiers opened their guns, they found that they couldn't kill a few people, and they immediately panicked.

The Kerians quickly advanced to the front of the position, only to learn that there were still some trenches and traps ahead, and some of the shield carts fell into the ditch and there was a gap, and the musketeers seized the opportunity to open fire and caused some casualties.

But this was a minority, after all, and could not prevent a large number of Kerish soldiers from approaching the trenches. Suddenly, the horn sounded, and groups of gray-uniformed figures jumped out of the trenches where they were hiding and pounced on the Kaers, and the hand-to-hand combat began.

Watching the brothers of the Shandong New Army below fighting with the enemy, the Raozhou firecrackers immediately poured projectiles on the Kerr soldiers below, striking at the enemy rear that appeared in a steady stream behind.

But there were so many opponents that some had already jumped into the trenches below, trying to climb the ladder to the positions of the musketeers. Shi Dajun swung his iron whip and knocked open the skull of an outcropping head, glaring and shouting, "Brothers, get on the bayonet!"

The bayonet of the Raozhou firecracker is a three-edged thorn, which is uniformly manufactured by the Anren Arsenal.

Usually stay in the leather belt scabbard, after pulling out, put the retainer at the handguard into the barrel, and then tighten the screw at the tail end to fix it, and take off the two-foot-two-inch long knife is enough to become a hand-held short sword to participate in the fight.

However, after this thing was equipped with the team, it was the first time that it was unsheathed to participate in actual combat today. Hearing the order, the soldiers opened their leather sheaths and drew their swords one after another, and the position was full of "click, click" sounds.

Shi Dajun looked at it, and the trench where he was was was full of silver light, and he couldn't help but feel blood in his veins. "Threesome, rush!" He shouted.

There were gaps at the ends of the breastwork to allow access to and from which soldiers with bayonet guns poured out and rushed towards the Kalkores with whistles (company ranks) and bamboo flutes (platoon).

At this time, the tiger squat cannon at a higher altitude also fired, and the bullets whizzed towards the enemy's rear to provide cover for their own team.

When the herald stumbled into the headquarters and reported that even the Jinshan camp had begun hand-to-hand combat, Li Dan stood up.

Zhao Jingzi glanced at the herald of the first battalion with sweaty faces, and asked him to go back and pass the order to block the enemy at any cost. Then he walked over and frowned and asked:

"Do you want to pull the reserves up? I'm worried that the loss on the front line will be relatively large!" His meaning was obvious, Raozhou Tuanlian had never experienced such a large-scale fierce battle, and he was worried that too many casualties would affect morale.

"A team must go through blood and fire to grow, and those who survive will be the backbone of the future." Li Dan said softly and waved his hand:

"Don't support yet, wait. I believe that the brothers, whether they come from Raozhou or from the Shandong New Army, they are not of a bad breed!"

Before the words fell, there was a rough and atmospheric noise outside. The two camps of the Xunshan Camp and the Ningjin Battalion: Hu Bai, the chief of the trial Qian, and Zhu Taimao, the general manager of the Qian, reported loudly.

"What are you two doing here?" Zhao Jingzi was inexplicable, he looked at Jin Shijun who was chasing after him, and lowered his face: "Old Jin, what are you doing?"

"This ......." Kim Seok-jun was embarrassed to get stuck.

The two people in the back laughed, and Zhu Taimao asked, "Zhao Gaoshen, I heard that there was a lively fight in front, shouldn't we go up?"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Jingzi put on a posture and glared: "There is a military order for you to jump out again, what is the urgency without the order?"

Li Dan smiled slightly, walked to the observation window, turned around and took the binoculars from Brother Mao's hand to take a look, turned around and said, "It's still early, wait a little longer."

I don't think the Kahls have done their best. Now you go up and expose our power too soon, it's not worth it. Don't worry, the credit is yours

！」

The battle lasted until noon, and both sides withdrew to rest and eat. The observing staff officer came over and whispered a few words to Zhao Jingzi, and he turned around and leaned into Li Dan's ear:

"There are already more than 30,000 people by the river, and the observation post just now found that there are Kelco cavalry going upstream, I don't know what the purpose is!"

Li Dan grabbed a piece of bun in his hand and frowned and thought, and suddenly raised his head: "They won't see the problem of the river, right?"

"How can the Kaers be so smart?" Zhao Jingzi was skeptical.

"You don't have to be smart, just look at the water level on the shore!" Li Dan stuffed the last piece of bun into his mouth, got up and turned around twice, then walked to the window and looked through the binoculars, and said:

"I see that all the people they are crossing the river now are old and young women, are there still soldiers who haven't come?" He looked at the river bank opposite: "Da Xuan is still there, and he has set up his Ao Bao."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jingzi felt puzzled after reading it: "Don't he want to come over here?"

"Send a signal to the dam and release the water!" Li Dan said decisively: "The enemy's elites are basically here, I'm worried that if they find the problem of a low waterline, if they let the ducks fly away, it will be worth the loss!"

He looked at Jin Shijun, the commander of the reserve team who had been staying here and hadn't left: "Go and call the two thousand presidents, it's time for them to play!"

Jin Shijun pulled Zhu Taimao and Hu Baifeng to rush into the headquarters, and after listening to Li Dan's order to transfer troops, the three of them rushed out like the wind.

The news of a general attack soon spread throughout the position, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. Li Dan then asked Gu Da to lead his four hundred apprentices to the southernmost part of the position, and the four imitation general's steel cannons he brought with him also arrived there to wait for orders.

There was a flag to rush out of the door. At this moment, the horn sounded, and the cowhide drum also struck.

The enemy is attacking again! The experienced enemy army became more and more organized, and actually lined up three long offensive arrays under the hillside.

More than 10,000 people remained by the river, and the remaining nearly 20,000 were overwhelmed like dark clouds by the trumpets and horns.

The Kaers roared and trampled on the ground. They were confident that they would be able to break through the Han Chinese defenses this time, even if not on horseback, to prove that the Kelcos were true warriors. Look at the book

Sacrificed the fluttering Daxu,

beating the drums of war with the veil of the Bullock;

I rode on the steed of Blackridge,

Put on hard armor like iron;

My sharp-edged spear,

long arrows with goose feathers buckled;

With the army of the Han family of the Southern Dynasty,

Get on your horse and go to fight——!

Li Dan softly translated the war song they sang, and Zhao Jingzi glanced at him in surprise, shook his head and didn't speak. After all, in the past few years, Zhao Jingzi has seen too many strange things!

The samurai at the front of the line wielded their steel swords in a variety of exciting movements, and shamans followed them in constant prayers to the earth and the heavens.

The surging crowd behind stomped on the ground, and the footsteps stunned the defenders, and some of them were immediately reprimanded by the officers.

"Shangzi Medicine!" Shi Dajun roared vigorously, he sacrificed sixteen brothers in the white-knuckle battle, they were all veterans! He gritted his teeth and was determined to get the field back!

The enemy got closer and closer, two hundred, one hundred and fifty steps, and a hundred ......steps, and even the faces of the other party were distorted by anger and could be seen clearly, but this time it was obvious that the fight would be harder, because the enemy took advantage of the rest time to make more wooden shields.

Liao Changyong's arm was injured and wrapped in a white strap, and when he saw the big shield entering the firing range, he immediately ordered: "Tiger squat cannon fire!"

"Boom, boom!" The Tiger Squat Cannon on the position opened fire, but the damage to the wooden shield was minimal. But for some reason, the wooden shields stopped, and then everyone felt the earth tremble.

The Kerrs looked around in alarm, and they didn't know what was happening, and someone shouted loudly, but the roar in the air grew louder and closer.

The mighty waves swept from the upper reaches of the north and rushed downstream, and the Kerians screamed and headed in despair toward the riverbank

Waved.

But it was too late, and the flood swept away everything it could reach, including the seemingly solid pontoons, people, livestock, and vehicles. The crowd on the other side of the river was also scattering and fleeing, and Ao Bao and Daxu were submerged in the water and disappeared.

"Yes! Wan Sheng!" The defenders jumped with joy and joy, and then, without knowing who had taken the lead, jumped out of the trench and rushed down.

The faces of the Kalas turned pale, for they saw not only the defenders rushing down, but also a forest of bayonets behind them.

As far as the eye can see, thousands of bayonets, the Xunshan Battalion and the Ningjin Battalion, which serve as the general reserve, are the two battalions of the new army that are all equipped with firearms.

Seven thousand bayonets, glittering in the afternoon sun, poured out from behind the trees as if they were boundless.

"Run!" There was a shout, and with that one shout, the army of the Karkos was routed.

But when they came to the river, the river was still swelling, and many of the cattle were swept away, so they had to rob each other of their horses, and some simply fled along the river.

However, they didn't know that General Du Shen commanded the South Group and the student soldiers were waiting for them over there with four steel cannons.

At this time, Li Dan was already discussing with Cao Junjun, the envoy of the pacification department, Xie Guiting, and Wang Shuanghe, the inspector of the Shenyang Inspection Department, how to detain and identify the prisoners, and how to use these labors to open up a straight road from Shenyang to Liaoyang and from the Fushun Coal Mine to Shenyang Nanguan.

After the war, making full use of these hard-won laborers, allowing them to contribute to the construction of Liaodi, sweating, and it was not in vain that everyone traveled thousands of miles to come.

"I was so sleepy at night that I wrote more than 5,000, so you still don't vote for me?"
