Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 80
Before Oboi set off with a Niulu Eight Banners soldier, the ten White Armored soldiers belonging to this Niulu had already launched a large-scale raid on the periphery of the battlefield.

However, the white armored soldiers rushed to nothing this time.

From the beginning to the end, no Ming army was found not to accept them at night.

"My lord, there isn't a single Ming army on the outskirts who won't take them at night!" Yabran held a large bow and said with great disdain, "They know that going out at night will only lead to death, so they dare not come out."

"That's just right." Aobai said with a sinister smile, "It's just a good time to catch these Ming dogs by surprise."

At that moment, Aobai led more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers and quietly came to the back of the slope protection under the cover of night, only to see that the slope protection that had been dug by them during the day had been filled in by the Ming army with soil and tamped.

Aobai looked in the direction of the gun platform opposite, and found that the opposite was pitch black, and there was no fire.

Seeing this, Obai subconsciously frowned, why did he feel something was wrong?According to the explanation, the army shouldn't be so careless, no matter what, they should light a few bonfires in the outer trenches, right?
Are you really not afraid of their Eight Banners warriors coming to steal the camp?Too careless.

"My lord? Why does it feel that something is wrong." Yabran also noticed something was wrong.

Aobai became more and more uneasy, even Yabran, a newcomer, felt that something was wrong, then there must be something wrong, but the arrow is already on the line, he has to fire, he can only adapt to the situation when the time comes.

Anyway, it was night, and the tiger squatting guns of the Ming army were not accurate.

Aobai comforted himself in his heart, and climbed down the ditch first.

Yabran and a dozen or so white armored soldiers also climbed down with their backs on their backs.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Oboi led the white armored soldiers to clean up the wooden piles and bamboo thorns in the area below, and then 300 Eight Banners soldiers flooded into the trench like flowing water, without making any abnormal noise during the whole process.

Jiannu's military accomplishment is really good.

However, at this moment, a red lantern suddenly lit up ahead.

"Master Oboi, lantern!" A sharp-eyed white armored soldier pointed at the red cage and shouted.

Seeing the red lantern, Oboi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Ming army is not completely defenseless, as long as they are prepared, the most fearful thing is not being prepared, the unknown is the most terrifying.

However, it would be too naive to rely on lanterns as a warning.

Aobai immediately ordered Yabran to say, "Shoot the lantern!"

"Hey!" Yabran agreed, and immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow.

There was a sound of breaking through the sky, and the red lantern about thirty steps away immediately went out.

Aobai led the Eight Banners soldiers to clear the bamboo thorns, and moved forward along the ditch, surrounded the entire gun platform, and then shouted, hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers climbed up the gun platform from all directions at the same time.

The whole process encountered no obstacles.

However, there was no one on the gun platform.

"Master Oboi, Minggou was not found!"

"My lord, Minggou was not found in the bunker either!"

"My lord, a large pile of hay was found in the center of the gun platform."

The Eight Banners soldiers reported the news to Obai one by one.

The uneasiness that disappeared in Aobai's heart came back again.

what happened?Why didn't there be a Ming army on the gun platform?
Could it be that the Ming army found them and ran away early?
But Oboi thought it was ridiculous, how could it be possible?
From Anshan Town and the two fights during the day, it is enough to prove that this Ming army still has a certain combat effectiveness, and the possibility of such a thing being collapsed at the touch of a touch is extremely slim.

This already seems to be a trap for sure?
Reason told Oboi, it's better to give up the plan of stealing the camp, and wait for the daytime to attack openly.

But emotion does not allow Oboi to do this, if he really didn't do anything and went back in such a desperate way, then not only he, Oboi, but the entire Yellow Banner would be ashamed.

From now on, the whole bordered yellow flag will be reduced to a laughing stock.

Moreover, Aobai also had a sense of luck in his heart.

So what if there are traps?Just be careful.

The powerful Eight Banners warriors are by no means intimidated by mere intrigues.

Immediately, Aobai gritted his teeth and shouted: "The troops divide into two groups and continue to move forward! I want to see how long Minggou can be a shrinking turtle? If they have the ability, they will hide and don't show their heads!"

The 300 Eight Banners soldiers divided into two groups and rushed forward along the passage behind the gun platform.

Anyway, it has been discovered by the Ming army, so there is no need to hide it anymore.

In less than half a cup of tea, Oboi led 150 Eight Banners soldiers to the next blunderbuss platform. As long as they crossed a [-]-step-wide trench, they could directly attack the blunderbuss platform.

"Attack!" Obai gave the order without hesitation.

Five white armored soldiers took the lead in charging with large bows.

The rest of the red armor, vest and infantry were busy cleaning up the sharp stakes and bamboo thorns in the trench.

However, at this moment, a huge flame suddenly ignited on the gun platform in front of it, and the bright light suddenly illuminated the trenches around the gun platform like daylight.

The Jiannu crowded in the retreat passage had nowhere to hide.

Aobai and the dozens of Jiannu who had entered the trench raised their heads anxiously, and saw that there were black holed blunderbusses erected on the fence beside the blunderbuss platform, and there were a huge number of them, at least hundreds of them!

"So many bird guns?!" Obai couldn't help being shocked.

However, the more frightening thing was yet to come. Almost at the same time as the flames ignited, a row of shooting holes reserved on the fence of the blunderbuss violently spewed out red flames.

What followed was a huge roar.

"Tiger crouching!" Oboi roared.

This wave is miserable, at least ten or more tiger crouching cannons!

Amidst the roar, a cannonball brushed against Oboi's cheek, sparks burst out from the cast iron bowl instantly, and then there was a sound of mourning behind him.

Turning around suddenly, I saw that the Eight Banners soldiers following behind had already staggered.

Many vests and infantrymen were already struggling and crying in a pool of blood.

This is not over yet, followed by the sound of "bang bang bang" intensive firing of guns, but hundreds of bird guns mounted on the wooden fence in front of them fired violently at the same time.

This wave of firepower was mainly poured on the white armored soldiers in front.

Although the white-armored soldier is wearing triple armor, it still hurts to be hit by hundreds of lead. One lead is nothing, and dozens of lead together is a huge force!
Amidst the screams, the five white armored soldiers had already fallen to the ground.

"Get up, charge up!" Obai was also extremely fierce, and he still didn't give up even at this time.

Amid Oboi's loud roar, five white-armored soldiers stood up one after another, and the Eight-Banners soldiers crowded in the passage also quickly stabilized their positions, ready to continue clearing the wooden posts and bamboo thorns in the trench.

However, the Ming army did not give it a chance at all.

The Ming Army musketeers in the first row finished firing their guns, and quickly turned around and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, the second row of musketeers appeared behind the wooden fence, and poured out another burst of firepower at the five white armored soldiers and dozens of Eight Banners soldiers who had entered the trench.

The five white armor soldiers fell to the ground again.

The red armor, vest and infantry that entered the trench suffered heavy casualties.

What made Oboi even more suffocating was that the Ming army on the blunderbuss in front did not seem to reload the tiger squat cannons, but directly replaced more than a dozen loaded tiger squat cannons!

For tiger squat guns, changing guns is faster!

Gunners of the Ming army were hammering iron into the ground.

Seeing this, Aobai's heart suddenly rose.

Fix the tiger's claws with iron brazing, and a dozen tiger squatting cannons can be fired again!

"Back back!" Oboi yelled angrily, "Back back, back up, back up!"

After yelling a few words, Oboi grabbed a twitching red tooth and retreated into the passage, and the five white-armored soldiers who had just got up also hurried back with the injured or killed Eight Banners soldiers.

At this moment, everyone understands that the camp stealing has failed.

However, including Aobai, none of Jiannu realized that the suffering had just begun.

Not long after Oboi retreated into the tunnel with the still-shocked Eight Banners soldiers, a dozen or so tiger squatting cannons in front of the gun platform fired violently again, pouring dense lead bullets into the tunnel.

Especially the 30 double-weight combined mouth ammo, it really shatters the limbs of those who hit it.

The effective range of the tiger squat gun is more than 300 steps, and the lethality within 150 steps is still extremely impressive.

The last dozen or so Eight Banners soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, including a white-armored soldier who was hit by a muzzle bullet and shattered directly.

However, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers finally passed through the passage and entered the ditch of the gun platform outside.

At this time, Yabran also led another team of Jian slaves to retreat to the ditch outside through another passage.

Seeing that Yabran's bowl was slightly deflated and the tasseled spear on top of his head disappeared, Oboi knew that Yabran had also suffered a loss, and thought that tonight it seemed that there would be another big fight.

"Yablan, how many people were killed or injured on your side?"

"I don't know, but there must be no less than fifty."

"Damn it, where did these smart dogs come up with so many tricks?"

"Yeah, Minggou is too cunning, it's really hard to guard against."

The two teams of Jiannu thought they were safe, and when they were breathing there, the night sky on the left and right suddenly lit up, and even the deafening sound of cannon fire came over.

"Come again?!" Obai's eyes suddenly widened.

"Is it over?" Yabran also had a terrified expression on his face.

And then, under the terrified eyes of more than two hundred Jiannu, countless "invisible" lead suddenly poured down from the night sky on the left and right sides like a torrential rain.

Jian Nu, who thought he was safe, was hit again.

In an instant, there were tragic wailing sounds one after another in the trench.

Aobai and Yabran also received a lot of lead, which made a loud bang, and both of their heads were a little dazed.

It was also at this time that Oboi and Yabran finally realized that the night had no effect on the Ming army at all, and the Ming army's tiger squatting cannons could still hit the target area accurately.

"Quickly retreat! Withdraw from the Ming army formation map, quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!"

Accompanied by Aobai's hysterical roar, more than two hundred Jian slaves withdrew in a panic.

It was only about half an hour from Jiannu sneaking into the defense line of the Ming army to retreating in embarrassment, but Oboi and the others experienced a nightmare half an hour and were completely stunned.

This camp stealing tonight was a complete failure.

It seemed that every step was calculated by the Ming army.
