Crackling gunshots kept ringing, but apart from the smoke wafting over the battlefield, there was nothing else to prove that they fired.

The precision of a musket...

Well, I can only say that I understand everything!
However, as the Qing army's shield chariots continued to advance, the Qing army's musket shooting gradually became more accurate.

Gradually, the Ming army also began to suffer casualties.

The archers of the Qing army behind the shield car also began to shoot continuously at the trench where the Ming army was located.

Arrows were thrown out one after another, falling towards the top of the Ming army's head.

The arrows thrown one after another hit the iron armor of the soldiers of the Ming army, making a clanging sound.

That's good luck!
The incoming arrows were blocked by the armor!

But there were also unlucky soldiers of the Ming army, and the arrows that were thrown shot into the gaps in the armor links.

The sharp arrow pierced through the flesh, causing severe pain.

The screams kept ringing!

At this moment, the shield chariots of the Qing army finally pushed over the trap that the Ming army had prepared for those shield chariots in advance.

The trap collapsed, and the wheels of the shield car, as well as the lower part of the car body, fell into the trap.

It must not be able to move!
This kind of thing is not just one case, but it is happening constantly on the entire front.

The Qing army's shield chariot fell into a trap and could no longer push forward, and the Qing army's offensive suddenly slowed down.

Looking at the scene on the battlefield, Chen Tai couldn't help frowning again.

"Everything is bad, everything is bad!"

Looking at the gradually stalemate situation on the battlefield, Chen Tai gave orders.

"Let the front-line generals drive those Han people to serve as cannon fodder!"

"In any case, the battle cannot be stalemate!"

"Before this year's New Year's Eve, this general must unplug the Dagu gate and drive the Ming thieves out of Tianjin."

Without the shield car, drive the people in front of the battle and let the common people be cannon fodder!

If it was placed in the Han Dynasty, especially in the early days of the founding of the country, there would be absolutely no one who could do such a thing.

But in my Qing Dynasty, it is a very common thing!
It's not like I haven't done this before!
The front-line soldiers of the Qing army who received the order began to act according to the order. The civilian husbands they had recruited from various places in Beizhili were forced by swords and guns, with despair on their faces, and strode towards the Ming army's front line.

And a large number of soldiers of the Qing army followed behind these peasants, preparing to take advantage of the trend to attack the Ming army's front.

Amidst the continuous sound of gunfire, a large number of ordinary people were knocked down to the ground, wailing and screaming.

Many peasants stepped on the traps, or were pierced by sharp bamboo thorns, or their bones were broken by traps.

The screams were extremely ear-piercing, and the densely packed traps even made the Qing soldiers who followed these peasants feel their scalps go numb.

Boom!Boom!
The explosion sounded!
It wasn't that the Ming army's flowering bombs exploded, but that a civilian husband stepped on a pressure-fired mine that the Ming army had placed in front of the formation.

Amidst the rumbling explosion, half of the civilian husband who stepped on the landmine was instantly blown away.

Broken flesh and blood splashed the other people around him!
The smell of blood is overwhelming!

Gradually, these civilian husbands who were driven to the front by swords and guns collapsed.

Screaming, wailing, hysterically showing madness.

However, the Qing army behind the formation was unmoved at all.

Once someone slowed down a little, the knife and gun in his hand would stab them without hesitation.

Zeng Xueli stood on the deck of his ship, watching what happened on the battlefield on land, his face was gloomy and frightening.

"Qinglu really deserves to be killed!"

"It's really disgusting to drive the people in front of the battle!! Only barbarians like Jian Nu can do such inhuman things."

Zeng Xueli was very angry, but his anger could not change the tactics of the Qing army.

He could only convey his anger and let the Ming army teach the opposite Qing army a deep enough lesson.

"Send the order, the heavy artillery fires, and fires rapidly!"

"Hit Lao Tzu hard!"

"..."

Under Zeng Xueli's order, the firing speed of the Ming army's naval guns increased sharply.

Countless shells flew in the air above the battlefield, falling towards the Qing army.

Cannonballs flew and raged across the Qing army formation, taking away lives.

The artillery in front of the Ming army is also firing!
A round of shotguns were fired, and the killing effect was extremely astonishing.

A large number of civilian husbands who were driven to the front by the Qing army fell to the ground and died tragically.

At this moment, there was a piercing sound in the sky.

call out!shhhhh!

shhhhhh!
Countless rockets lifted into the sky with trailing flames, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air.

Then, shoot towards the Qing army!

Amidst the rumbling explosions, the Qing army was thrown off their feet.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tai closed his eyes weakly, knowing that the troops on the front line would definitely not be able to fight.

This attack was a complete failure!

The ear-piercing sound of gold ringing resounded across the battlefield, and the Qing army retreated from the battlefield like a tide.

Their attack this time, apart from leaving corpses all over the battlefield, there is nothing else to gain.

……

Outside the city of Tianjin, the Qing army tent!
Chen Tai did not lead troops into the city, but stayed outside the city to preside over the battle.

After the Qing army retreated from the battlefield, Chen Tai summoned the generals to discuss military strategy.

"Ming thief's firearms are sharp, and he is well prepared!"

"The Dagu Port has been turned into an iron bucket by them. Although it is not solid, it is not so easy to attack."

"Do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Chen Taiduan sat at the front seat, his face was very gloomy.

Obviously, the battle was not going well, which made him feel bad!
The generals below were all silent, and the Ming army is now huddling in the fortifications and fighting defensively.

There is no other way to expel the Ming thieves and remove the fortifications of Dagukou.

Chen Tai's entourage stood up and said.

"Master, if you ask me to say that our army still needs to recruit more civilians and let them fill the trenches, there is absolutely nothing wrong."

"In the past, when I attacked fortified cities in the Qing Dynasty, this method was very useful."

Chen Tai rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"It's just that, under such urgency, where should we recruit civilian husbands?"

There is no shortage of civilian husbands in the Qing Dynasty, but it takes time to recruit civilian husbands!

Even if he wrote to the imperial court now, he waited for the imperial court to order, and then went to various places to recruit civilian husbands, and then arrived in Tianjin.

At least the time has been passed after the New Year's Eve!
In this case, Chentai's plan to end the war in Tianjin before the New Year's Day naturally came to nothing.

For Chen Tai, this is completely unacceptable.

A Qing army general said with bright eyes.

"My lord, isn't the huge city of Tianjin right in front of you?"

"It just so happens that the morale of our army is low at this time!"

"If Tianjin City can be washed away, on the one hand, the morale of the army can be restored, and on the other hand, enough civilians can be plundered."

Chen Tai hesitated for a while, a little undecided.

After all, Tianjin is the gateway to the capital city. If he doesn't say anything, he will wash Tianjin away, even if his father is the owner of the Zhenglan Banner and a cabinet minister of the Qing Dynasty.

It's not easy to hide this matter!
However, in the end, the desire for military merit still suppressed the worries about the court's punishment.

After all, when did my Qing Dynasty care about the massacre of the generals below?
As long as one wins on the battlefield, the massacre of the city is just a small problem that does not need to be raised.

Well, I'm Qing, massacring cities has long been a habit, isn't it?
Chen Tai nodded, and then gave instructions.

"Order people to prepare!"

"Send troops to block the four gates of Tianjin, and then prepare to do it..."
