Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 211 The Ming Army Is Different
Realizing that Jiannu wanted to retreat, the Ming army musketeers on the gun platform immediately appeared behind the parapet, relying on the protection of the parapet to shoot freely at Jiannu in the trench and the Han musketeers on the opposite side of the trench.

The specific division of labor is that the frontier musketeers are responsible for shooting the slaves in the trenches.

The Musketeers of the Scholars Battalion relied on the performance advantages of Lumi guns to suppress the Han Army Musketeers on the opposite side.

At the same time, the frontier artillery team on the blunderbuss platform also fired continuously, pouring rows of blunderbuss and muzzle ammunition on the heads of the Eight Banners Han army musketeers.

All of a sudden, bang bang sounds can be heard endlessly.

The front of the Han army's musketeers and the blunderbuss wall were soon shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Even so, the Ming army musketeers on the gun platform still kept firing their guns.

Until Jiannu climbed out of the ditch along the hemp rope, there was no living Jiannu at the bottom of the ditch. The Han army musketeers on the opposite side of the ditch also retreated a hundred steps away under the cover of the van. The Ming army musketeers on the gun platform Finally stopped shooting.

When the northwest wind came, it quickly dispersed the gunpowder smoke covering both sides of the trench, and the battlefield became clear again.

Looking at the corpses of Jiannu lying under the trench and across the ground, the Ming army on the gun platform immediately let out cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"we won!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Da Ming's dignity cannot be desecrated!"

"Anyone who offends my Ming will be punished no matter how strong he is!"

The cheers from the gun platform at the foot of the mountain spread all the way to the top of the mountain, and Chongzhen's hanging heart fell back to his stomach.

Although I knew it would be this result, the charm of all unknown things lies in this, because you can never predict the result before things happen.

Throughout the ages, there have been too many battles that must be won but lost in the end.

So before the real winner was decided, Chongzhen's heart was always in suspense.

It's all right now, Jianu has been defeated, and his hanging heart has returned to his stomach.

The group of scholars standing behind Chongzhen against the cold wind also breathed a sigh of relief.

……

In the distance, the nobles of the Eight Banners outside the Jiannu camp also heard the cheers of the Ming army.

Duduo's face collapsed in an instant, but he never expected such a result.

The nobles of the Eight Banners who rode horses and lined up on the left and right of Duoduo also looked at each other in dismay, feeling unbelievable.

Half a month ago, the three hundred white-armored soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner pierced through the double blunderbuss platform in a row, and then they broke through the two-layer blunderbuss platform set up by the Ming army at the foot of Yunlong Mountain and on the mountainside. The whole process was really overwhelming.

But now, the three Niulu bannermen of Zhenglan Banner can't even take down a layer of gun platform?
The gap between white armored soldiers and ordinary bannermen is huge, but it's not that big, is it?

Among them, the one with the most embarrassing face was Gulmahui, who had just become the owner of the Zhenglan Banner. He originally wanted to curry favor with Duoduo and take the opportunity to establish his prestige. not small.

Fei Yangwu quickly withdrew the remnants of the defeated general along the zigzag passage. When he went there, there were three full-stacked cows, but when he came back, there were less than two cows left, and most of them were wounded. .

Thanks to the Ming army's mountain defense operations, it was inconvenient to invest in cavalry to launch a chase.

Otherwise, even these two Niu Lu's remnants and defeated generals may not be able to keep them.

The casualties of the Eight Banners Han army were also not small. Out of the three Niulu Han troops, only two Niulu were left, and most of the remaining Han troops were wounded. It was shot by the army tiger squatting gun. During the entire battle, the Ming army tiger squatting gun never stopped pouring out the guns.

The only cavalrymen from the Eight Banners Mongolia who had no casualties were the two Niulu cavalry.

In addition, the loss of siege equipment was not small. The Zhenglan Banner lost 32 wagons, and the Eight Banners Han army lost more than a dozen side wagons. This is undoubtedly a disastrous defeat.

"Fei Yangwu, what's going on?"

Duoduo asked with a dark face: "Tell me, why did you fight like this?"

"Prince Yu, this servant can't explain clearly either." Fei Yangwu knelt in front of Duoduo's horse, and said with a bitter face, "I just feel that the Ming army's defensive tactics have become a little different from before."

"Speak more carefully." Doduo frowned, "What's the difference?"

Fei Yangwu said: "When we attacked the city before, including when we attacked the Ming army's blunderbuss platform, the Ming army's swordsmen, musketeers, and spearmen would crowd behind the battlements or behind the parapet, but this time they They didn’t do that, they actually shrank inside the gun platform, and didn’t show their heads until we finally retreated.”

"Is there such a thing?" Dodo felt a little unbelievable.

"No way." Luo Luohun also said, "If the Ming army didn't guard the battlements or behind the parapet, wouldn't our warriors be allowed to grab the top of the wall or the gun platform? Isn't this courting death?"

"That's right." Luke Dehun also said, "As long as our warriors from the Qing Dynasty seize the top of the city or the blunderbuss platform, wouldn't the Ming army become a chicken and a dog? How could the Ming army be so stupid? Fei Yangwu, you Are you making up excuses to excuse yourself?"

"I didn't, I'm not, what the servant said is true." Fei Yangwu was so anxious that his face turned green, "It's true."

But Duoduo believed it, and said in a deep voice: "So, the Ming army waited for your Zhenglan Banner flagmen to board the blunderbuss platform, and then used the bird blunderbuss to fire them in turn? Is that so?"

"Yes." Fei Yangwu nodded repeatedly, "And there should be quite a lot of musketeers."

"If that's the case, it's an opportunity." A smirk formed on the corner of Dodo's mouth, "Minggou thinks he's got his way, but in fact he left a big hole."

Luo Luohun said: "You mean to send a group of Ba Yala soldiers to mix among ordinary bannermen?"

"Yes." Duoduo nodded heavily, then turned his gaze to the Gushan Baylor Heluo Club with the white flag, and said in a deep voice, "The next second wave of attack will be handed over to us with the white flag."

"Hey!" He Luohui said excitedly, "Master, don't worry, the servant will take down the gun platform at the foot of the mountain."

"Just your words are not enough." Duoduo turned his eyes to the white flag inlaid with Ba Yala Zhangjing Wa Xing, and shouted, "Wa Xing, you personally lead thirty Ba Ya La soldiers to attack together!"

"Hey!" Va Xing'a suddenly agreed.

……

At the foot of the mountain No. [-] gun platform.

Jin Shenghuan removed the bowl from his head, only to see a slight dent on it, which was shot by the musketeers of the Han army on the opposite side of the trench in the melee just now.

"Good luck." Xu Yingwei smiled.

"If it wasn't for the iron helmet, if you replaced it with a leather helmet, you'd be miserable."

"It's nothing terrible." Jin Shenghuan said with a hahaha smile, "I happened to have a drink with my old brother from before, and when I'm happy, I'll go to the old man of Hades and find the book of life and death and give me your page. Tear it up, when the time comes, brother, you will jump out of the Three Realms like Monkey King, not in the Five Elements, hehehehe."

Xu Yingwei was a little surprised: "Have you read Journey to the West?"

"I've heard storytelling." Jin Shenghuan said, "But I haven't heard all of it."

"That's a good book." Xu Yingwei said, "But the layout is still small."

"The layout is small?" Jin Shenghuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

"Oh, no, I mean Journey to the West, The Legend of Shi'er." Xu Yingwei waved his hand and said, "The Monkey King in the book has a small scale, or the author's scale is small. If I were to write this book, Sun Wukong would directly overthrow Wuzhishan. Suppress the Buddha and recreate the Heavenly Court, sweeping away all injustice in the world."

Well, deep romanticism, it's young people after all.

"Ah? This..." Jin Shenghuan looked at Xu Yingwei in surprise.

Xu Yingwei's words were really beyond his expectation, he didn't expect it.

You Xu Xiucai with thick eyebrows and big eyes is also a traitor?What a surprise.

"Jin Zongbing, do you think that we scholars who have read the books of sages and sages should follow the rules and devoutly accept the etiquette of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles?" Xu Yingwei smiled, then shook his head and said, "Actually not, the real scholar should admire Mencius the most. The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the lightest people-oriented thought."

"Xu Xiucai, be careful with your words." Jin Shenghuan was startled when he heard this.

At the same time, he looked around subconsciously, lest he be heard by others.

"President Jin, it's okay." Xu Yingwei said, "This is also approved by the Holy One."

"What did you say?" Jin Shenghuan felt that his brain was not enough, "The Holy One actually agrees with what you said?"

Xu Yingwei said: "It's not what I said, but what Mencius said, and the Holy Majesty also made it clear in the edict of seeking captives that the Ming Dynasty is not the world of Zhu's royal family, but the Ming Dynasty of all the scholars and bureaucrats, and it is also the family of all the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Daming, so everyone is the master of Daming, and everyone has the responsibility and obligation to fight for Daming!"

Hearing this, Jin Shenghuan seemed to have a clear understanding, no wonder these scholars are not afraid of death?

But Jin Shenghuan couldn't help but still asked: "Xu Xiucai, do you really believe what the Holy Majesty said?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not." Xu Yingwei smiled meaningfully, "The most important thing is what the Holy Majesty said, because you are not joking, Mr. Jin, do you think so?"

Jin Shenghuan was stunned, what kind of maneuver was he playing?
At this time, the horn sounded again from the front.

"Jianu is attacking again!" Jin Shenghuan quickly grabbed the bowl and put it on his head.

Xu Yingwei also got up and said: "Jiannu's attack will definitely be more fierce than before, and maybe they will send white armored soldiers to steal chickens again, so we have to be fully prepared."

"Don't worry." Jin Shenghuan said, "Just wait for them."

After saying this, Jin Shenghuan shouted again: "Everyone is there, line up, line up quickly!"

With an order, more than [-] frontier soldiers and more than [-] scholars began to line up, still in the same formation as before, divided into twelve teams in total, and thirty fishing net fighters were hidden at the end.

But after thinking about it, he still felt wrong, and Jin Shenghuan ranked the fishnet fighters before the sword players.

Jin Shenghuan was worried that the fishing net fighters would stay behind. If the fishing net was not thrown far enough and caught one of his own people, he would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, so he put it at the front.

Not long after, Jiannu's ghostly cries and wolf howls sounded outside the gun platform.

Xu Yingwei immediately ordered loudly: "Musketeer, light the match!"

More than two hundred musketeers lit the matchlocks one after another and inserted them into the trigger.

[A few words: Recently, due to the ten thousand updates for half a month, the manuscripts have been exhausted, so they are all written and updated, and there are inevitably some omissions in details, such as the gray bottle, golden juice, and Li Xiangjun's shaping, all out of print. There are some flaws, after being corrected by readers, chapters 203 and 204 have been revised. Please continue to correct such details in the future. The author fully accepts them. Saying that the author brought private goods and turned his ass to the merchant capital side is so speechless. This is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and you let Chongzhen implement the dictatorship of the proletariat, isn't that nonsense? 】
