Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 566
The attacking Lao Dong always quickly crossed the fifty paces wide surrounding ditch.

Barbed caltrops and landmines were laid in the surrounding ditch, which can be described as murderous at every step.

However, a passage has also been reserved, and Lao Dong always passes through the surrounding ditch from the reserved passage to the ground.

The Ming army's blunderbuss defense line has been connected as a whole, surrounded by trenches outside, but there is an [-]-step wide open space between the Ming army's blunderbuss defense line and Jiannu's blunderbuss defense line.

In this open space, the Ming army can only pass through the surface.

Grandfather's appearance immediately caught Jiannu's attention.

For this, Jian Nu on the opposite side was obviously well prepared.

Although the attacking Ming army had only more than 200 soldiers and almost half of the infantry, they were still hit by Jiannu Hongyi cannon, Fran machine gun and tiger crouching cannon successively.

……

"Crack clap..."

Amidst the sound of uniform footsteps, more than 250 subordinate soldiers of Mr. Laodong stood in three rows and moved forward slowly with neat steps.

Xu Yinglong held the pistol and walked to the far left of the line formation.

Behind Xu Yinglong followed a trumpeter and a drummer.

The trumpeter played melodious tunes, while the drummer beat the drums slowly.

Including Xu Yinglong, Mr. Laodong's soldiers are very relaxed at this time, and there is a feeling of loneliness and invincibility as they draw their swords and look around in a daze. Daming is really too powerful.

However, the illusion will eventually be shattered by the cruel reality.

"Lie Lie..." The scream that seemed to tear the air suddenly sounded.

Xu Yinglong's heart tightened suddenly, he was already a battle-tested veteran at this time, just hearing this sound, he knew it was the shells of Jiannu Hongyi cannon.

One hit by such a cannonball will shatter the whole person.

However, Xu Yinglong didn't yell to lie down, let alone turn around and run back.

Instead, it was as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk forward with a straight body.

"Bang!" A dull impact sounded from the right rear, and Jiannu's shell hit the ground, plowing a deep groove in the frozen hard ground in an instant.

"Liu Lie Lie..." More shells screamed one after another.

Xu Yinglong's heart rose to his throat, and at the same time, he prayed silently in his heart: my ancestors bless me, if I don't die this time, I will give you three sacrifices when I return home.

I don't know that Xu Yinglong's prayers worked,
Or because Jiannu's Hongyi cannons were too poorly accurate,
Anyway, only the screaming of shells was heard, but none of the shells landed in the Ming army formation.

However, the Ming army was hit by a lot of shells on the left and right behind the formation, and dozens of eye-catching deep grooves were plowed on the ground, just like the giant spirit god plowed out with an iron rake.

After walking about two hundred steps forward, Jiannu's Hongyi cannon began a second round of shelling.

This time the accuracy was better, and a shell hit the Ming army line array.

I saw that the cannonball first hit the ground, and after bouncing off, it formed a ricochet. It passed the Ming army's line array close to the ground, and smashed the ankles of three Ming soldiers in an instant.

Amidst the blood and flesh flying, three Ming soldiers wailed and fell in a pool of blood.

"Come closer to the left, keep moving forward!" Xu Yinglong didn't stop on his feet, looking up to the sky and howling.

Grandfather's formation moved slightly to the left, and the gaps hit by the shells were quickly filled, so the complete and rigorous three-row line formation was still maintained.

Almost at the same time, four North Korean troops rushed out carrying stretchers.

The two injured Ming soldiers were quickly carried back and put on the operating table.

However, the only thing waiting for them is amputation, and from then on they can only use crutches.

Xu Yinglong led more than 200 subordinate soldiers and continued to advance slowly.

About a hundred steps forward, Jiannu started shelling again, but this time, it was no longer the Hongyi cannon that fired, but the Frang machine cannon, which could be distinguished from the sound of the shells sweeping through the air.

The number of Jiannu's Frang machine guns is obviously more, and the shells are denser.

And because the distance became closer, the aim of the Jiannu artillery also came up.

"Crack!" A shell whizzed and directly hit a Ming soldier's head, smashing the hat-shaped helmet and head of the Ming soldier in an instant, and crushing the heads of the two Ming soldiers behind him without exhaustion.

The three Ming soldiers died heroically on the spot without even having time to make a sound.

Another shell bounced off the ground and changed direction, slanting past the line array.

A Ming soldier walking in the far right corner of the queue immediately fell to the ground clutching his ankle in pain.

As the Ming army advanced, more shells fell, and more Ming soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

There were also more North Korean troops rushing up with stretchers to carry the wounded or killed Ming troops back to the front line.

About 10 minutes after the start of the attack, the Ming army approached within [-] steps of the Jiannu blunderbuss platform. At this time, Jiannu's tiger squatting guns also began to fire violently, sending pieces of lead rain towards the Ming army's line array. Pour over.

At the same time, Jiannu's Franc cannon did not stop, and continued to fire.

As a result, the casualties of the Ming army began to increase sharply, and rows fell in a pool of blood.

In the end even Xu Yinglong was shot and fell in a pool of blood, but soon a whistle chief came on top.

However, the line array of the Ming army still did not stop, and was still advancing at a leisurely pace, but the length of the entire line array has been shortened a lot. From the initial width of more than 40 steps, it has been shortened to less than three steps. Ten steps wide, which also means that the attacking Ming army has suffered close to [-]% casualties.

……

Seeing Xu Yinglong collapsed, Xu Yingwei's heart felt as if he was being pulled violently by something. The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe. This was the pain of leaving a close relative.

Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, Xu Yingwei's intuition tells Xu Yinglong that there may be more bad luck than good luck for Xu Yinglong.

"Youzhen, let's retreat." Jiang Tianyi said helplessly, "Jiannu obviously had been prepared for a long time. The Hongyi cannon, the Fran cannon and the tiger squat cannon are all set up, and we haven't prepared a van. To try is to sacrifice in vain."

Xu Yingwei nodded silently, and Jiang Tianyi immediately ordered the messengers to display a semaphore to Mr. Dong.

Seeing the semaphore of the formation, Mr. Dong, who was attacking, immediately turned around and retreated.

But before retreating, take the injured fellow villagers and the corpses with them.

This attack is defeated!

……

Dorgon, Hong Chengchou and others were also watching the battle from the observation deck.

Seeing the Ming army fleeing back, the Manchu generals such as Baiyintu, He Luohui, and Ta Zhan couldn't help cheering. After fighting the Ming army for so long in Liaodong, they finally won once.

Even if it is just a small victory, it is worth cheering.

Dorgon also showed joy on his face, but he was not as superficial as Bai Yintu and others.

Dorgon was happy because he saw something profound, shallow attack and advanced construction, it turned out that this was the shallow attack and advanced construction advocated by Hong Chengchou!This method is really powerful!

"Heng Jiu, I saw it."

Dorgon turned his head to look at Hong Chengchou, and said with a smile: "The performance of the Ming army in offensive operations is not much better than that of our Qing soldiers in offensive operations."

"Master, you still can't be careless." Hong Chengchou hurriedly said, "The Ming army was vulnerable because they didn't prepare the van in a hurry. Advance to our army's gun platform, if so, there will be a fierce battle between the two armies."

"It's okay, my Qing soldiers are not afraid of a fierce battle with the Ming army?"

"Heng Jiu, the shallow attack and advanced construction you advocate is really powerful."

After a pause, Dorgon said again: "There will definitely be a chapter about you in the history books of the Qing Dynasty in the future!"

Hearing this, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I all cast jealous eyes on Hong Chengchou, Hou Fangyu was even more jealous to the point of madness, but He Luohui, Ta Zhan and other Manchu generals were completely convinced at the moment.

Dorgon turned his gaze to Manchu generals such as He Luohui, Tazhan, and Baiyintu: "You all remember, just as before the chariots were not allowed to attack before they arrived, in the future when our Qing soldiers fight against the Ming army , and it is absolutely not allowed to attack according to the old way before, but must follow Heng Jiu's shallow attack and build tactics, and those who violate it will be chased by the flag or even beheaded."

"Hey." He Luohui and other Manchu generals all agreed.

……

When Xu Yinglong was carried back, he had only one breath left.

"Brother..." Xu Yinglong opened his mouth to speak, but blood gushed out immediately.

"Second brother, don't talk." Xu Yingwei held Xu Yinglong's slightly cool right hand tightly, and said anxiously, "Don't talk."

"Brother, I can't do it anymore." Xu Yinglong shook his head with difficulty, and then said, "Please help me, me, help me bring something to my father, say, just say that I didn't give it to our old Xu family. leave……"

Before he could finish his last face, Xu Yinglong tilted his head and swallowed his breath.

"Second brother!" Xu Yingwei cried out in pain, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.

Vaguely, he recalled the scene of the two brothers playing in his mind when he was a child.

The voice and appearance are still in my ears, but the person has turned into a cool corpse.

"You Zhen, mourning." Jiang Tianyi and Lu Xiangtong stepped forward one after another, patting Xu Yingwei's shoulder to express comfort.

However, Xu Yingwei quickly put away his grief. Although his second brother's departure made him feel heartbroken, there are more important things to deal with at this moment, that is, Jiannu's tactics have changed significantly.

Turning around to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, Xu Yingwei turned back and said, "Brother Wenshi and Brother Tongren, I have a very bad feeling that the tactics of building slaves may have changed!"

"Well, my little brother also found out." Jiang Tianyi nodded solemnly.

Lu Xiangtong also said: "Jiannu will probably not launch a strong attack in the future, but instead advance forward by building a blunderbuss platform, and use this to force us to take the initiative to attack, so that Jiannu can use the blunderbuss platform to attack We can only attack with Jiannu's Hongyi cannon, Fran cannon and tiger squat cannon, and the casualties will increase greatly."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Jiang Tianyi said.

"In the future, Jiannu will definitely continue to repair the gun platform."

"This matter is no small matter, we must immediately inform Brother Wu Heng and play it in Nanjing."

Xu Yingwei said solemnly: "Even if Jiannu uses this method instead, our defense of Gaizhou is deep and deep, and we have a strong city as a support, so we can still maintain one or two, but Dagukou may cause trouble."
