From west to east, more than 10,000 bird-gunners in the front battalion of the new army relied on the defense line on the wall, aiming at the Han army banners and horses that were forming a formation below.

The soldiers and horses pushing 50 artillery pieces in front of the army formation had all broken down at this time, and those gunners who were "regarded as treasures" by Shi Tingzhu had become the "focus of attention" of the officers and men of the former battalion of the new army, and they had been shot out in the first few rounds of salvos!

"Fire!"

In this attack, Shi Tingzhu's preparation was not sufficient, and he specially mobilized shield soldiers to protect the artillery team in front, but in the face of countless volleys of flintlocking birds, there were constantly condescending thunderbolts thrown over during the period, and those shield soldiers of the Han army flag could not parry at all, and they quickly collapsed.

The five thousand bird guns under the command of Shi Tingzhu were also hit hard at this time, and at a distance of eighty paces from the Great Wall wall, they were continuously shot by fierce fire, and after the army formation held out for two rounds, they left more than a thousand corpses behind, and collapsed backwards in embarrassment.

These traitors didn't even hold out to get within their range before they were routed by the front battalion of the new army!

Shi Tingzhu looked at the fire soldiers who fled from the rout, and his heart was dripping blood, these were the elites he had worked hard to build, but when facing Liu Yanbu's new army, he was still powerless.

"The firepower in Liu Yan's army is stronger than before, how many birds and horses does his battalion have? Five thousand or ten thousand! ”

Shi Tingzhu couldn't figure it out, he didn't know that there were more than 12,000 people in the front battalion, and almost most of the soldiers were equipped with bird guns, and the various departments did not accept peace at night

Including the guards, at least nearly 11,000 bird guns can participate in the salvo, such firepower, ultra-long range, has formed a crushing force against the Qing army.

"It's a pity that this is a mountainous area, and I can't bring a shield cart up, otherwise I will let my five thousand firecrackers shoot at close range, and the outcome is still unknown!"

Shi Tingzhu could only "drink hatred" at this time, slowly retreated with 10,000 hand-to-hand combat soldiers who were still complete, and then wandered a distance of one hundred and twenty steps south of the Great Wall ruins, neither daring to continue the attack, nor daring to lead his troops to retreat without Dolgon's order.

Soon, Yibai sent people to urge and ordered Shi Tingzhu to attack immediately, so as to cover the 12,000 iron cavalry of the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner.

At this time, Ibai had already assembled with 12,000 Mongol soldiers, all of whom were wearing armor, and the 4,000 men in front were elite archers with riding bows, and they only needed to advance to within 50 paces before they could launch a rain of arrows against the Ming army.

Yibai looked at Shi Tingzhu, who was hovering and delaying in front, and scolded angrily: "A broken defense line of the Great Wall can't be attacked for a long time, what is the artillery and firearm in Shi Tingzhu's hand for!" ”

Because of the distance and the dense trees in the mountains, Yibai didn't know the specific situation in front of him at this time, but only knew that Shi Tingzhu led his troops to retreat, and thought that Shi Tingzhu was afraid of fighting, so he shouted that he wanted to go to Dolgon to complain.

But before Ibai could send someone to rush there, he received an order from Dolgon: lead his troops to climb the mountains to the east, bypass the defense line of the Great Wall and attack north!

"Haha, Prince Rui is very strategic, a Han dog like Shi Tingzhu should be used as a pawn to attract the firepower of the Ming army!"

Say it, Yi

Bai ordered the 12,000 soldiers and horses of the Mongol Zhengbai Banner to move quickly to the east, and with the help of the cover of the high mountains and dense forests, they soon rushed towards the depths of the mountains.

"What?"

At the same time, Shi Tingzhu also received an order from Dolgon, ordering him to storm the Ming army's defense line at any cost!

Shi Tingzhu was so angry at this time that he almost scolded Dolgon, the words had already reached his mouth, but fortunately he held back in time, and immediately ordered to concentrate all the shields in the army, equip a thousand hand-to-hand soldiers, and then push the thousand people forward to attack, and the whole army followed behind and advanced rapidly.

"With a thousand lives, advance to within fifty paces!"

This was Shi Tingzhu's plan, and at this time the remaining more than 3,000 firecrackers had been regrouped, just behind a thousand shield-wielding hand-to-hand soldiers, and Shi Tingzhu led 9,000 soldiers and horses to kill him.

On the beacon tower, Chen Xun looked at the white flag soldiers and horses of the Han army swarming below, and said suspiciously: "Are these traitor soldiers crazy?" Why are you so brave today? ”

Immediately, more than 10,000 bird guns in the front camp of the new army began to roar again, and the 1,000 Han army banner shield soldiers who rushed to the front almost fell to the ground one by one, and then were trampled under the feet of the companions who swarmed behind.

Those musketeers were terrified at the moment, and even when they were still sixty or seventy paces away from the new army's defense line, they opened fire one after another, even if they couldn't hit the new army officers and men in the defense line at all, they could also wear away some of the fear in their hearts.

"Speed up the charge!"

Shi Tingzhu roared angrily, waving the war knife in his hand, and he looked brave from a distance. Of course, it would be even more perfect if the pig's tail on the back of its head was omitted.

Chen Xun frowned slightly when he saw this, and said to the herald beside him

said: "Order all departments to be vigilant, there must be a conspiracy among the Tartars, these traitor soldiers are too abnormal!" ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, to the east of the defensive line, more than a dozen Ye Bushu on the right side of the front battalion were searching in the dense forest.

The location of everyone was a few miles northeast of the Great Wall defense line, and listening to the sound of fighting and the roar of firearms in the distance, everyone's hearts were itching.

"Captain, everyone else is eating meat on the defensive line, just our team is drinking the northwest wind here, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to mix up a head!"

The captain of the team leader was already depressed, but when he heard his subordinates complaining, he immediately reprimanded: "The generals have said that there is only a different division of labor in the army, and there is no high and low!" Let's patrol around the defense line is to prevent the Qing army Tartars from sneaking over the road, which is as important as resisting the enemy head-on, cheer me up! ”

A young night pouted and said, "Captain, do you believe these words yourself?" What else is there in this hellish place except the mountain wind that blows like a knife on the face? Where are the Tartar soldiers......"

In the middle of speaking, the young night stared wide, made a gurgling sound in his throat, and then fell to the ground on his back, with an arrow stuck in his chest and neck!

"Enemy attack!"

"Tartar!"

The rest of the night soldiers were bitten by their steel teeth at this time, and the tartar really made a detour, and everyone looked for cover, holding various weapons such as bird guns, war knives, big sticks, axes, and three-eyed guns in their hands.

The new army does not collect at night is the same as the rest of the Ming army's night collection, in addition to the standard equipment in the army, some will be equipped

The weapons that are easy to use by themselves, so when they get to the battlefield, the weapons and equipment that are not collected at night seem to be varied.

At this time, the captain hid behind a big tree, squatted down and looked sideways, only to see that the mountains and forests in the south were densely packed with Tartar soldiers, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"It's a white flag, a Mongolian white flag of the Tartar soldiers!"

"What about the captain!"

At this time, everyone looked at the captain, and the captain was not very old that night, at most he was in his early thirties, and at this time he gritted his teeth and said, "Release the arrow!" ”

One of the nights hurriedly took out a crossbow with a special crossbow bolt on it, and the arrow part had a gunpowder bag, in addition to gunpowder, there was also bright red powder.

In the blink of an eye, the trumpet arrow rushed into the sky, and after an explosion, a striking red appeared in the sky.

Then the captain pulled one of his subordinates over and said, "You go back immediately to report the news, our front battalion can't draw troops and horses for the time being, you immediately go to the north to warn the second battalion of the garrison!" ”

That night did not accept the roar angrily: "I want to go to you, I will stay here and fight to the death!" ”

"!"

The captain roared angrily: "You just added a son before the expedition, what, you want your wife to be widowed, get out!" ”

That night was not closed at this moment, tears flowed down his face, and he hurried north with the arrows of the Tartar soldiers, while shouting: "All alive! Wait for me to come back with reinforcements, wait for me to come back! ”

"Haha!"

After sending off the "messenger", the captain of the night team looked at his companions around him, and at this time there were only thirteen people left: "Brothers, let's not go, kill!" ”

"The scenery here is good, Lao Tzu will die here, kill the Tartar!"

"Kill them,

Kill! ”

Thirteen nights did not collect and began to return fire, birds, three-eyed guns, crossbows, bows and arrows, and all kinds of long-range weapons aimed at the surrounding Mongol Tartar soldiers, and immediately shot down seven or eight people.

But the Mongols rained more arrows, and almost hundreds of people were shooting in this direction, and suddenly two of them fell without receiving arrows in the night.

"Kill!"

The captain stepped forward with his shield and slashed a Tartar soldier to death, then flew up with a kick and immediately kicked the crotch of a nearby Tartar soldier, and the Tartar soldier immediately fell to his knees with a howl and a whimper that did not resemble a human voice.

At this time, a large number of Mongolian soldiers had rushed to the front, and the rest of the soldiers who did not collect the night also roared and rushed up to fight, and everyone began to fight for their lives, like a tiger descending from the mountain, more than a dozen people rushed towards thousands of Mongolian soldiers.

In the distance, Yi Bai looked at the fierce battle in front of him, and a shocked expression appeared on his face: "Aren't Liu Yan's subordinates afraid of death?" ”

Immediately, Yibai showed an angry expression again, his own army was discovered by these dozen nights, and it was very likely to attract a large number of soldiers and horses from Liu Yan's army, and the hatred in his heart was overwhelming: "Concentrate the archers and shoot them to death for me!" ”

"Kill!"

The captain killed one more person at night, and then turned around and roared angrily, and immediately scared back the two Tartar soldiers who were preparing to sneak attack, and was about to take advantage of the victory to kill, but was shot by two arrows, and his body slammed down, and the surrounding Tartar soldiers swarmed up and split their bodies with knives.

At this time, under the arrows of the Mongolian Tatar soldiers, only one of the more than a dozen night soldiers was left, and the night soldier had a few arrows stuck in his body, leaning against a dead tree, and the war knife in his hand had been broken.

I don't know where it fell.

The surrounding Mongol soldiers surrounded one after another, as if they wanted to catch them alive. At this time, because of the strong combat power of Liu Yan's new army, he won the first rank of the new army, and he could be promoted to one level in the Qing army.

And if the soldiers of the New Army are captured alive, their merits will even exceed the beheading, because since Liu Yan's rise to the present day, the Qing army has never captured even a single soldier of the New Army alive!

"Surrender, keep you prosperous and rich!"

A Mongolian soldier with a white flag spoke in twisted Chinese.

The man laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and immediately took the fire fold from his waist, and at the same time took out a sky-shattering thunder from behind him, and quickly lit the fuse.

"Slaves? I'd rather die! ”

Suddenly, under the frightened gaze of the surrounding Tartar soldiers, the earth-shattering thunder exploded, and the night bully was instantly shattered, and more than a dozen Tartar soldiers around him also screamed and fell to the ground, at least four people were killed on the spot, and more than ten people were injured!

When Ibay came here, he looked at the ground with minced meat and smelled the pungent smell of blood, and for some reason, for a moment, he decided that he could not win this battle.

"What kind of evil demon is my Qing warrior facing, Liu Yan's department is so demonic!"
