Chapter 186: Exploding

Liu Yan was worried that Lu Xiangsheng would die in the Battle of Julu as in history, so he ordered Miao Shao to lead someone to protect Lu Xiangsheng and stay by his side, and then ordered Wang Bo to lead his 100 generals to support Yang Guozhu's left flank, and Shen Tuo to lead 100 generals under his command to support Hu Dawei's right flank, and ordered the rest of the soldiers to support the frontal defense line except for the cavalry general.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was only beside Lu Xiangsheng with more than 200 people from the remaining Tianwei Army of the Supervisory Battalion, Lu Xiangsheng was already making final preparations, and his personal general Chen An carefully put on his armor for him, and he was still dressed in sackcloth and filial piety clothes outside. As a precaution, Lu Xiangsheng also tied his governor's seal behind his elbow.

For Liu Yan's forcible arrangement, Lu Xiangsheng has no extra words at this time, even if Liu Yan's move is considered to be the following crime, but at this critical juncture, Lu Xiangsheng can only admit it, and first repel the attack of the Qing army.

Liu Yan was also making final preparations, putting on his helmet, wearing stainless steel armor on his body, iron gloves on both hands, and a heavy leather shield in his left hand. With a fine iron spear in his right hand, he threw aside the cloak that might hinder the killing.

Liu Yan hadn't fought in person for a long time, and at this time, Liu Yan didn't have the slightest fear, but felt that his blood was boiling.

Lu Xiangsheng held his fine iron broadsword weighing dozens of catties in his hand, and when he heard the shouts of killing from three sides getting closer and closer, he smiled at Liu Yan and said, "Liu Yan, today you and I will kill the enemy side by side and fight together." ”

Liu Yan Zhengse said: "It is Liu Yan's luck to be able to kill thieves with the governors."

Lu Xiangsheng laughed, and everyone around him also laughed.

Ahead, the loud noise of the platoon rang out again, and dozens of heavy armor with blue flags and red edges rolled to the ground. At the same time, a wave of heavy arrows shot from outside the wall, and a new army of Xiahezhai retreated with a muffled voice.

Yang Guozhu's left flank defense line, a large number of blue-flag sergeants from Zilharang, and a few Mongolian troops of the Eight Banners following behind had already poured in intensively. The dense layers of shield carts are pushed in from the passages of the first earthen wall. On both sides of the body behind each shield, there are also a large number of heavy armor of each banner holding heavy shields, and archers of each flag with bows and arrows.

Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu Town Barracks had retreated into the second earthen wall to defend it, and the Qing army rained arrows. Yang Guozhu's army suffered heavy casualties among the bird-slewed and three-eyed skulls. The firearms men of the battalion who came to support yesterday also kept falling. Most of the soldiers of the two battalions had iron masks. The body is either iron armor, or leather armor, or inlaid with iron cotton armor, but at such a close distance, nothing is used.

Many Qing army heavy armor also attacked from the four passages, and Yang Guozhu and Guo Yingxian, the general of the Chinese army, led their families to fight with the enemy at the passages.

The passages of the second earthen wall were crowded with people, both enemy and us, and the artillery had long since lost its effectiveness. All the killer teams in Yang Guozhu's barracks lined up behind the passage and fought fiercely with their waist knives, hook and sickle guns, stick guns, and rifles.

At this time, the auxiliaries of the main barracks also came forward in groups waving their weapons, and Yang Guozhu personally led the few remaining family members to support everywhere. The two sides are fighting for blood, to see who can consume and support more.

Yang Guozhu didn't know how many casualties there were in his army, maybe there were 1,000 or hundreds of casualties in the whole army, and the soldiers had already exerted their super strength, and they could no longer support it.

At this moment, Wang Bo led the army to arrive, and hundreds of birds and guns under his command stepped forward to shoot fiercely, and three rows of birds and guns hit over, and the Qing army in front of them was caught off guard, and the Qing army in front of the earthen wall was densely packed with more than 200 casualties. They fled back with a crawl, and the fierce attack was suffocated.

Wang Bo's pikemen and sword and shield soldiers also quickly took over the defense of each passage, and their sword and shield soldiers threw a javelin and nailed to the ground a group of Qing shield soldiers and spearmen who poured in. Several captains of spearmen rushed over with their spears, and immediately drove out the heavy armor of the Qing army that had poured in from all passages.

Yang Guozhu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Liu Yan's soldiers came to support, otherwise his left flank would have collapsed.

At this time, Zilharang had already entered the earthen wall to personally command, under his order, the Qing army quickly came to their senses, they adjusted slightly, there was no trench in front of the second earthen wall, and they pushed the shield cart close to ten or twenty steps. When Wang Bo's bird soldiers fired another round, those light armor who were good at shooting bows under the cover of the shield cart came in a dense rain of arrows.

The two sides shot at each other, and although the bird guns of the new army in Xiahezhai were powerful, they could not compare to the bows and arrows of the Qing army in terms of rate of fire. So close distances. The sharp arrows of the Qing army can penetrate the heavy armor, their arrows are accurate and ruthless, and there are successively Xiahezhai new army bird gunners who are broken through the armor by their strong arrows and shot to the ground.

Some of the new army birds in Xiahezhai have no masks on their faces, and they are hit by arrows in their faces, and at such a close distance are sergeants with iron masks, which also have no protective effect. When their masks are shot away, they may have done even more damage.

The bows and arrows of the Tartars were fierce, and the firearms men of the main barracks and the superintendent battalion, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, plucked up their courage and rushed forward one after another under Yang Guozhu's order.

At this time, the two sides were already red-eyed, and the left flank defense line was completely shrouded in dense smoke, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. In the middle of the battlefield, there are flying arrows, the huge roar of the new army in Xiahezhai, the earth-shattering sound of the three-eyed gun, the sound of the Lumi gun and the self-generated fire, and the sound of the rocket, intertwined, making a loud sound that shakes the heavens and the earth. 33

On the battlefield, Shen Tuo stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and with a "boom", a powerful arrow was shot, and the red flag Baya Bull Lu Zhang Jing covered his throat in disbelief and slowly fell to the ground. He had fine steel armor and armor around his neck, but he didn't stop the sharp arrow from the front of him.

Bow down slowly, and in the future, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's military department and official department secretary repeatedly broke the Ming army's Zhao Guangbiao, Fan Zhiwan, Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen's army, and annihilated Zhang Xianzhong's worship and died silently. When he was dying, he saw the cold-faced and silent Ming general in front of him, who was still shooting sharp arrows.

Shen Tuo didn't accept himself at night, not only did he reach out, but his archery skills were also amazing, and one by one the soldiers in the banner were shot to the ground by him. Beside him, there were many Ming army pikemen, all of whom roared like thunder, waving big guns in their hands, and one by one the Qing soldiers were picked to death or stabbed to death.

"I can't imagine that I will die like this!" This was the last thought on his mind before he died.

Chen Xun and Miao Shao are also leading their troops to fight desperately, and the two teams of bird guns under Chen Xun's command help defend the wing earthen wall of the front defense line, in addition to the bird guns under Miao Shao, who are also divided into half, holding bird guns and shooting against the wall. The rest of the soldiers were armed with spears and swords and fought against the Qing army in various passages.

On the right flank of the defensive line, it had been fought with the enemy in various passages with Hu Dawei and a group of officers, but there were too many Qing troops, and one wave was repelled and replaced by another. At this time, Hu Dawei was covered in blood, and his Chinese army general Hu Zichen had been killed in battle, and it was easy to kill the wave of Red Banner Baya soldiers in front of him. He shouted to Xu Ming, who had just arrived to support: "Mr. Xu Bai, the slaves and thieves are powerful, our army is outnumbered, and we need to ask the governor for help again!" ”

Xu Ming shook his head bitterly and said: "The governor and the general have no reinforcements, and now the frontal defense line is less than two thousand people, otherwise my family will not let the last general come over with cavalry to support!" ”

Hu Dawei was stunned for a moment, and the veteran smiled miserably: "Okay, my Tiger family has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and I will die here today!" ”

On the frontal defense line, Liu Yan was already covered in blood, and the guards under his command just now had already brought Lu Xiangsheng, who was wounded by an arrow, to the back, and only the new army of Xiahezhai with a big wave was left behind him.

At this time, everyone was screaming hoarsely, their eyes were firm, they were not afraid, and their cries rolled over the earth like spring thunder.

In the front defense line of the new army in Xiahezhai, a large number of white flags and inlaid white flags Qing troops also poured in, and they used layers of shield vehicles as cover to enter the first earthen wall passage. In front of them, there were five or six layers of dense shield wagons to ward off artillery fire, and then a large number of handymen were driven to clean up the mud bags inside the earthen walls. Ignore their heavy casualties and provide a smooth path for the shield cart to move forward.

The artillery salvo of the new army in Xiahezhai could not destroy all these shield vehicles, and there was no place to set up artillery, so their shield vehicles continued to advance and quickly pressed up.

At the same time, in order to defeat the frontal soldiers and horses of the Ming army as soon as possible, Dolgon still forced the gunners to continue to bombard the Ming army's camp despite the fact that the artillery had not yet dissipated heat, and even disregarded the life and death of his own Aha and miscellaneous servants who were fighting on the front line.

Like the two wings of the defense line, after those shield carts were pushed closer to more than ten steps, they fired arrows in unison, mixed with falling shells, which brought serious casualties to the new army of Xiahezhai, and even Liu Yan felt a deep sense of despair.

Those Tartars had many archers, and they were covered by shield carts, and there were only a few hundred birds left in the frontal defense. There is simply no way to stop them from moving forward. A large number of shield soldiers of the Qing army poured into the passages. Liu Yan ordered Qian Yan to lead the gunners to retreat and protect the precious artillery force.

Subsequently, the two sides launched a series of hand-to-hand battles and battles in various passages, and Qing soldiers continued to pour in, and then they were driven out, and then poured in, and then drove out, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Happy, happy!"

Liu Yan stabbed to death a Qing army heavy armor with one shot again, and roared loudly, the corpses on the passage in front of him had been densely layered, I don't know how many were from the Qing army, and how many were from the Ming army, and blood was flowing everywhere.

Another wave of Qing troops was killed and retreated, but before Liu Yan could catch his breath, he saw a large stream of white flags and heavy armor outside the wall pouring in again. He shouted loudly and led his men to rush away.

"Kill!"

I don't know how long I killed and how many waves I killed, Liu Yan's guards fell one by one, almost all of Lu Xiangsheng's pro-troops who stayed here were killed, and Liu Yan didn't know how many people he killed.

"Kill!"

Liu Yan swept the shield in his hand, and swept a white flag on the left to the point of vomiting blood and flying away. The iron spear in his hand slammed down, smashing a Qing soldier in front of him into a pulp, and his spear stabbed out again, stabbing a white-flaged Niu Lu Zhangjing and a vest behind him into meat skewers and hanging them on the gun.

In the Qing army's large array a mile away, Duoduo's face was as earthy, and he muttered: "The casualties are too great, the casualties of the warriors are too great, this, do you still have to fight?" ”

The banner owners beside him are also colorless, especially the Mongolian flag owners of the eight banners, and their eyes are straight.

Dolxiang's face was pale, the strength of the Ming army had far exceeded Dolgon's expectations, and at this moment he gritted his teeth and said: "Continue to attack, fill in one Jiala after another, and now it is the middle of the Shen hour." Before sunset, be sure to capture the Ming army camp! ”

At this time, Dolgon shouted a little frantically: "Order all the banners: send all the Bayala soldiers in the camp, and those who dare to retreat, kill them all, kill them all!" ”

At this moment, an earth-shattering loud noise was heard, and then, Dolgon and the others widened their eyes, only to see a burst of fire rising from the artillery position in front of the Qing army's formation, and several artillery pieces that were still bombarding the Ming army's camp just now exploded one after another!

Over there, dozens of gunners were killed or wounded, and the position was in chaos, even the soldiers of the Qing army who were arrayed around and ready to attack the Ming army camp were mostly affected, and the huge artillery was blown up in the air, and then torn apart by the firelight, and finally swept a large number of Qing soldiers around to the ground!

Then Dolgon heard countless Ming soldiers cheering, and the shouts of "Wan Sheng" resounded in the sky.

The sound of this explosion shook the four fields, the soldiers on both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties saw it, the Qing army over there had already exhausted its strength, and at this time, when they saw such a tragic explosion in their own big array, they immediately let out a breath, and everyone fled in fear.

Dorgon muttered, "Impossible! How could the artillery all be blown up at this time! ”

Duoduo on the side said anxiously: "Ordered general!" The morale of the Ming army has been greatly boosted, and the morale of all departments of our army is fluctuating, so quickly order all departments to return to the camp, beware of changes! ”

Dolgon's face changed several times, and finally he sighed, gritted his teeth, and said, "Retreat!" ”

A moment later, there was cheering in the Ming army camp, in this most difficult moment. There was a big explosion in front of the Qing army, and all the artillery of the Qing army was instantly dumbfounded, and the officers and men of all units of the Ming army were all excited. The Qing soldiers who attacked the camp were fearful, and when they heard the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing their troops, they suddenly retreated like a tide.

Some people died, but not completely......
