Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 215 Please bring out the drone!
Niu Wancai, who led the army at the front, stopped and was dripping with cold sweat.

Just now an iron bullet grazed his ear.

Just a little bit, and his head will be smashed!

Because the mountain road is narrow, there are hundreds of people like Niu Wancai who missed death in the shelling just now.

As for the people who were actually killed and injured by the fifty or sixty iron bullets, there were actually only about a hundred people.

The main reason is that the tiger squatting cannon is a curved-firing mortar—if it was a direct-firing cannon just now, such as the Hongyi Cannon or the Franji, then in the terrain of the mountain road, firing fifty or sixty cannons at a time would at least kill or injure the invaders. Two 300 people.

However, although the shelling just now did not cause much damage, it was scary.

Generals like Niu Wancai, who have been fighting for many years, were frightened, let alone ordinary soldiers who broke into the army.

For a time, more than a thousand people who were forwards were not allowed to walk.

Niu Wancai came back to his senses and realized that the Ming army had deployed dozens of cannons in front, and immediately raised his head and shouted: "Don't charge forward! Back! Back up!"

The [-] troops led by Yuan Zongdi and others had rich experience in combat. When charging on the mountain road, it is naturally impossible for tens of thousands of people to rush forward together, but to divide into teams of thousands of people to charge forward.

On this mountain road, a thousand-man charge is already crowded. No matter how many people there are, it will only make it difficult to mobilize your own troops.

Therefore, Niu Wancai's retreat was not blocked by the team behind him.

It's just that as soon as he retreated three hundred steps away from the Ming army's position, Li Laiheng brought the team over and asked with a frown, "This Ming army also has a lot of artillery?"

Niu Wancai said: "Isn't that right, at least fifty schools! Damn it, my old Niu almost met Hades!"

Li Laiheng quickly ran to the protruding cliff on one side of the mountain road, looked forward, and saw that the Ming army had probably set up two lines of defense, with flags fluttering and shadowy figures, making it hard to see the truth.

After coming down, he said: "General Niu, let your soldiers go to the left mountain wall, find a place to shoot arrows, guns, and cannons at the Ming army's position, and I will take the soldiers to the right mountain wall.

The front will cooperate with us to attack again for a while, with more flags and people standing apart. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Niu Wancai nodded, and immediately began to assign people.

In fact, their attack on the Ming army was a little hasty this time, and they did not bring a lot of combat equipment.

For example, shield vehicles-if there are several shield vehicles that can block shells, they can rely on the shield vehicles to approach the Ming army's position and rush in to fight hand-to-hand.

Unfortunately not.

···
Time was urgent, and Li Laiheng and Niu Wancai moved quickly.

Only half a quarter of an hour later, Li Laiheng led hundreds of soldiers to find some suitable positions on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, and shot arrows and even fired cannons at the Ming army's position condescendingly.

It's a pity that there are too few such places on the mountain walls on both sides. Even if dozens of powerful soldiers rush forward on both sides, they can barely interfere with the defense of the Ming army.

And Wang Fuchen quickly sent two teams of personal soldiers to climb up the left and right mountain walls respectively, and shot at Li Laiheng and others.

In this way, the Chuang army launched another charge, but was defeated again by dozens of tiger squatting guns of the Ming army, and lost dozens of corpses in vain.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Yuan Zongdi rushed over. After learning about the situation, he realized that it was impossible to break through the blocking of Wang Fuchen's Ming army.

On this kind of terrain, the Ming army has dozens of tiger squatting cannons to help them, which is not something they can shake in a short time.

What's more, after fighting for a long time, they hit walls one after another, and nearly [-] people were killed and injured. The morale of the Chuang army was already very low.

If they force the soldiers to charge to death, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Several people discussed a few more words, and then withdrew to the mountain that Liu Tichun led his soldiers to cross before...

Half an hour later, nearly [-] invading troops led by Yuan Zongdi, Liu Rukui, Li Laiheng, and Niu Wancai were surrounded by [-] to [-] Ming troops led by Li Dingguo, Zhang Hualong, Wang Fuchen, and Yang Zhan on the mountain.

This scene is somewhat similar to the situation where the Chuang army besieged the Ming army under Li Dingguo before, but the actual meaning is completely different.

Li Dingguo deliberately lured the Chuang army into a siege, defended with ease, and waited for the friendly troops to encircle the Chuang army.

But now the Chuang army was forced to retreat to this unnamed mountain when they had nowhere to go, intending to stick to it and wait for the reinforcements who didn't know if they would come.

Li Dingguo took a telescope and looked at the position of the Chuang army on the hillside opposite the hill where the Chuang army retreated.

After finding that many places were blocked by trees, even with a telescope, they couldn't see the layout clearly, so they asked the guards to call the Flying Eagles.

Seeing that Yuan Guo, Chang Wei and four other people had come, Li Dingguo put away his binoculars and said, "Group Leader Yuan, the morale of the Chuang army is low now, and they probably want to defend to the death, waiting for reinforcements from Taiping County.

Although the mountain is not big, the forest is quite dense. It is not easy for us to attack it.

According to the latest instructions of Jian Guo, the Chuangjun is still mainly surrendered.

Now that the battle has reached this level, no matter how hard the attack is, both sides will suffer a lot of casualties, so I would like to ask the Flying Eagles to use drones to persuade them to surrender. "

Speaking of which, the reason why Li Dingguo came up with this idea was mainly because he remembered that night when Red Lady led the Flying Eagles to defeat their Great Western Army.

Since Auntie Zhu has sent two Flying Eagle teams to dispatch him, he naturally wants to make full use of the magic of drones.

Yuan Guo nodded when he heard the words, and said: "We can send drones up, but I'm afraid Zongbing Li will have to record the words to persuade you to surrender."

"Recording?" Li Dingguo became interested, "How should I do it?"

Yuan Guo, Chang Wei and the others looked at each other with a smile, and said, "You will know when Li Zongbing came with us."

···
On the nameless mountain.

Liu Rukui, Niu Wancai, and Li Laiheng were all commanding the Chuangjun soldiers to cut down trees, dig soil, move rocks, and establish defensive positions.

In the previous two battles, they knew that each Ming army had dozens of artillery pieces.

Now that the army is encircled, there may not be as many as two or three hundred artillery pieces.

Even if it's just a less powerful tiger squat cannon, it's enough for them to suffer.

In this case, if they want to block the attack of the Ming army on this hill, the more stable the defensive position is, the better.

As the chief general, Yuan Zongdi was standing on a big rock, seemingly looking at the Ming army at the foot of the mountain.

But as long as someone gets closer to observe, he will find that his brows are tightly wrinkled, his eyes are full of anxiety, and even dazed.

He was thinking about a very important question: What if they couldn't withstand the Ming army's attack?
surrender?

As soon as this idea appeared in Yuan Zongdi's mind, he was expelled.

Since he followed Li Zicheng to rebel, he has only surrendered to the government once.At that time, it was only a stopgap measure. Afterwards, on the way to his post, Li Zicheng led them to kill officials and rebel again.

Now that their Dashun has destroyed the capital of the Ming Dynasty and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, why should they surrender to the government again?
Moreover, even if they are willing to surrender, I am afraid that the Ming army may not surrender, right?

After all, they were the big rebels who broke the capital of the Ming Dynasty and killed the emperor.

In this case, even if the official army said that they were willing to surrender them, he would not believe it.

On the contrary, I think it is more likely that the officers and soldiers tricked them into taking them as prisoners first and then slaughtered them.

This kind of thing is not impossible - when Hong Shatou encircled and suppressed them back then, he did a lot of things like pretending to surrender the rebel army before massacring them.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zongdi let out a sigh of relief, and his expression became firm.

He thought it through clearly, this time they had no choice but to stand by and wait for help.

However, just as he was about to jump off the big rock to inspect the camps and boost morale, he suddenly heard a strange humming sound from the sky.

He followed the prestige, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was full of surprise.

'What is this flying over the woods? ! '
