Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 322 The Green Camp Han Banners Are Lost!
After about seventy or eighty breaths, Zhang Cunren's camp suffered another round of explosive bombs.

This time, the few remaining gunners and musketeers were no longer given special care. On the contrary, the defensive facilities in the camp, such as fences, horse rejection, and archery towers, suffered a lot of shells, and more than half of them were destroyed.

Under the protection of a group of Niulu's personal soldiers, Zhang Cunren retreated directly to the north of the camp, saw fireworks everywhere in the camp, and even some tents were lit up, he couldn't help muttering: "How should we fight?"

But at this time, the soldiers sent to observe the enemy's situation ran over and shouted: "General, the Ming army has arrived outside the camp!"

Zhang Cunren came back to his senses, and immediately said to a soldier: "Quickly go to King Gongshun's camp to ask for help, and ask him to send at least [-] soldiers over here!"

"Whoo!"

The Qing army mainly arranged five large camps in the south of the city, arranged in a manner of three in the north and two in the south.

According to the previous military meeting, the Kong Youde Department in the middle of the north is mainly responsible for suppressing the defenders on the city wall with artillery fire, supervising the attack of the Green Battalion, and supporting the two camps in the south at any time.

That's why Zhang Cunren immediately asked Kong Youde for help.

After the personal soldiers beat the horse to the north, Zhang Cunren immediately took the personal soldiers back to the camp to deal with the attacking Ming army.

The Niulu soldiers beside him are comparable to the white armored soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and they can be relied on.

What's more, in the previous bombardment, the damage of the three thousand step armor was not too big.

Therefore, in Zhang Cunren's view, based on the remaining facilities and trenches in the battalion, it is possible to resist the Ming army for a while.

As a result, he just entered the camp when he heard another burst of cannon fire, which scared him into a fright, and he managed to avoid falling into a shit.

'At this time, the Ming army dared to fire cannons?Aren't you afraid of accidentally injuring your allies? '

He thought this first in his heart, and then realized that the sound of the cannon was wrong.

"General, it's a tiger squat cannon. The Ming army brought a lot of tiger squat cannons to attack the camp!" A soldier in front ran back and said.

Zhang Cunren immediately boarded a cart next to him and looked south with his feet on his feet.

He was on a relatively high ground here, and standing on the car, he could really see the Ming army outside clearly.

These Ming soldiers were all wearing the cloth face armor of the past, and they also put on a Zhajia on the outside, but the helmets were still mostly felt flying saucer hats.

Zhang Cunren heaved a sigh of relief that they were not those Ming troops wearing plate armor and iron flying saucer hats.

Then he noticed the squat cannons that were either resisted or embraced by the Ming army.

He found that these tiger squatting guns were obviously reflective, and the caliber was not small, but they were like small-caliber tiger squatting guns weighing more than 30 kilograms, allowing the Ming army to hug and run.

Hey, could it be that the tiger squatting guns of the Ming army were all made of refined iron (steel)?
This guess made Zhang Cunren gasp.

Then I was puzzled again.

When did the Ming army become so rich and so willing to spend money on armaments?

According to his understanding, even if the Ming court allocated military expenditures, most of them should be divided up by the officials and military leaders who dealt with them below. How could it be used effectively?
Is this still the Ming army he knows?

Surprised, Zhang Cunren wasn't even more worried - he didn't think the situation would get worse.

Even though the tiger squatting cannons of the Ming army were many and light, but his camp was full of ditches and some chariots, he did not believe how powerful the tiger squatting cannons could be.

Sure enough, the Ming army guarded hundreds of tiger squatting cannons and sent them round after round, but because of the obstruction of mounds, ditches, and carts, it did not cause many casualties to the banner army.

On the contrary, some courageous flag soldiers approached the Ming army under the cover of trenches and truncheons, and shot them with heavy arrows, causing some casualties in the Ming army.

Seeing this, Xu Chong was at a loss and became impatient.

Just then his walkie-talkie rang.

When I got it to my ear, I heard Huang Degong swearing: "Idiot, the tiger squatting cannon is not effective, let the soldiers rush in and throw the grenade!

We have more people than them, so if we don't rush to defeat them as soon as possible, do we have to wait for their reinforcements to come? ! "

Xu Chong hurriedly replied: "The last general understands!"

After the Ming army approached the enemy camp, they couldn't see any large-scale enemies, so they naturally used live ammunition instead of shotguns.

But the tiger crouching cannon is not the small steel cannon of the devils of later generations after all, and it does not fire explosive bullets. After all, the power in this situation is a bit weaker - this is also because Zhu Yuxi came to Nanzhili in a hurry this time, and can't wait for Chengdu. Blooming ammunition for small caliber artillery was developed.

This involves the problem of gunpowder-the power of the large explosive ammunition configured with the black artillery is acceptable, but if you make a smaller-caliber explosive ammunition such as the tiger crouching gun, it is better to let the soldiers use grenades.

Although the power of the black powder grenade is also small and bulkier than those of later generations, it is still more powerful than the explosive bullets fired by the tiger squatting cannon, and it is more convenient to use.

At this moment, Xu Chong gave an order, and these infantrymen from Huang Degong's personal barracks rushed into the camp ferociously wearing double armor.

Then pick up the grenade brought in from behind, ignite it and throw it into the trench.

With the size of these grenades, even if the fire is stopped, they can still hit the enemy's head with pain.

In fact, only a handful of grenades failed, and most exploded when they fell into the trenches.

Let's talk about damage. In the case of the Han Banner Army also focusing on heavy armor, the fatality rate is extremely low.

But there were a large number of those who were shocked, stunned, and injured.

Xu Chong and Chen Xance's troops did not carry many grenades, and after throwing one round, they ordered to charge.

Chen Xiance is relatively wretched, hiding behind under the protection of his own soldiers, and occasionally shooting and killing one or two enemies with bows and arrows - he is good at archery if he can be the general soldier.

Xu Chong was more aggressive.

He was wearing cloth face armor, chain mail, zip armor, a steel flying saucer hat on his head, and holding a thick-backed machete. He jumped into the trench and began to kill all directions.

The Han Banner Army was suddenly bombarded with grenades, and they were shot by the heavy armored infantry led by Xu Chong. They collapsed and fled back one after another.

Xu Chong led his heavy armored infantry in hot pursuit. When they arrived at other trenches, they rushed up without grenades.

Chen Xiance didn't have many heavy-armored elites, so he commanded the soldiers and horses to attack on the two wings from behind, and let the auxiliary soldiers continue to carry grenades, or bombard the gathered Han Banner army with tiger crouching cannons.

With the cooperation of the two, Zhang Cunren's Han Banner Army could hardly stand still.

Even with ditches and chariots as support, he was still defeated and retreated!

"Hold it! Hold it up for me!"

Zhang Cunren shouted like this, but he himself retreated to the north of the camp with the support of his own soldiers. How could the other Han Banner troops withstand it?

In fact, Zhang Cunren also wanted to take the lead, but he had been a civil servant in the Qing Dynasty for a few years, and when he saw the ferocious Ming army, he was scared.

What's more, his current skills are far inferior to those when he was a general in the ancestral army, so he probably won't be able to play much role.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and send 100 personal soldiers as the supervisor team.

"Anyone who retreats will be killed immediately!"

After threatening, he puffed up again: "Hold on for a while longer, King Gongshun's reinforcements will be here soon!"

Under Zhang Cunren's various means, the Han Banner Army, which had lost three-quarters of its camp, finally stabilized its position.

But they didn't notice that they were already quite concentrated at this time.

Xu Chong raised the tiger squatting cannon, and the live ammunition and shotgun bombardment took turns, and the Han Banner Army was defeated again. There were only more than 1000 people left, and they fled to the north with Zhang Cunren.

Xu Chong was about to chase, but saw a group of more than 3000 soldiers coming from the north, so he could only suppress his thoughts and let the soldiers rely on Zhang Cunren's camp to build a temporary position.

···
On the slope in the southwest corner, there is a camp of the Eight Banners Army of Manchuria and Mongolia.

A rider galloped up, rolled off his horse in front of Duoduo, and reported: "General, the two camps to the south can no longer hold up. King Gongshun please send troops quickly to support!"

This time, the Qing army in the south of the city took Kong Youde as the leader of the five battalions, and Zhang Cunren as the deputy.

As for the other green battalion generals, they could only obey orders.

Duoduo put down the binoculars in his hand, his face was ugly and his eyes were cold.

His monocular was captured, and it is said that it was made by foreigners from overseas.

He was on this slope, condescending, and although he couldn't see the situation in the south of the city clearly, he could barely see the large-scale changes of people and horses on both sides.

Therefore, before Kong Youde's people came to ask for help, he had already seen the two big camps in the south being breached one after another, and the green battalion army and the Han Banner army were beaten by the Ming army and fled north in embarrassment.

Although the Green Camp Army and the Han Banner Army were no match for the Ming Army, he did not expect that Zhang Cunren, Li Jiyu, and Liu Zhong would be defeated so quickly.

Especially Li Jiyu and Liu Zhong, who were close to the east, almost ten thousand people fled out of the camp almost after the Ming army rushed into the camp, they were nothing but waste.

At the side, Nu Shan saw that Dodo was very angry, so he persuaded: "My lord, the defeat of the Green Battalion and the Han Banner Army was expected by you, why should you be angry about this?
To defeat the Ming army, we still have to rely on our Manchurian Eight Banners warriors, so please give the order to send troops quickly. "

"En." Duoduo responded in a muffled voice, then raised a hand and said loudly: "Pass down the king's military order, send troops!"

"Whoo!"

　Second more.

　　Good night~
