Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 87
Baiyintu also went up to the hill to watch the battle.

I saw that the northwest corner of Xia Town's line of defense was already boiling.

However, the two areas in the east, west, north and south were still silent. The Ming army stationed in these two areas and the Ming army at the core of the defense line remained motionless.

Seeing this, Bai Yintu's face showed a slight worry.

Bai Yintu is also a veteran soldier who has experienced many battles, so he naturally knows that there are certain risks in such an all-out attack that spares no effort.

If the Ming army is also mobilized and continues to invest its troops in the northwest region, there will be no problem. The big deal will be a stalemate. In the end, it depends on who lasts.

The physical strength of the Eight Banners soldiers is still trustworthy.

But now, the Ming army in other regions is standing still.

There is another possibility, that is, once the Qing army's attack is not going well and falls into a stalemate, the Ming army is very likely to take the opportunity to outflank the rear, which is very troublesome.

After all, he now has only one Jiala Eight Banners soldier left.

As for the Zhenghuang Banner Han army of the two Niulu, not only is their combat effectiveness not comparable to that of the Eight Banners soldiers, but they also have to stay on the pier to guard the tank boats, which is useless at all.

But this worry only flashed through Bai Yintu's mind.

Given the cowardice of the Ming army, it should be that they did not have the courage to take the initiative to fight against the Qing soldiers.

Immediately, Baiyintu raised his binoculars again, and turned his eyes to the battlefield again.

……

At this time, it was time for Shenzheng, and an hour and a half had passed since Jiannu launched an attack on Xia Town's defense line.

Jiannu has continuously broken through the eight-fold gun platform,

It has advanced more than a thousand steps towards the center of Xia Town's defense line, the big gun platform!

It's just that it can be clearly felt that Jiannu's forward speed has gradually slowed down.

It only took less than a quarter of an hour for Jiannu to break through the first blunderbuss platform outside, but it took more than a quarter of an hour to break through the second line of defense, and two quarters of an hour to break through the third line of defense.

It took nearly half an hour to break through the eighth line of defense just now.

Oboi was so exhausted that he could barely breathe, he was the one who led Yabran and another white armored soldier to break into the eighth stage first, and killed the Ming army.

However, Oboi's physical strength was also reaching its limit.

White armor soldiers are also human beings, they are also flesh and blood, and their physical strength is also limited.

Wearing a triple armor weighing more than 1.5 kilograms, and carrying a large bow with a total weight of more than [-] kilograms, a saber, a one-handed hammer, and [-] heavy three-edged arrows, he advanced more than a thousand steps. ([-] kilometers), in the middle, we have to repeatedly climb the one-foot-high wooden fence and fight to the death with the spearmen of the Ming army.

Such an intense fight,

Replenishment of stamina simply cannot keep up with consumption.

Even if you chew ginseng as a radish, it's useless.

"My lord, I can't hold it anymore, why don't you take a break and attack again?"

Jabran was also exhausted, and his chain mail and padded jacket were soaked with sweat.

"No, absolutely can't rest, once you rest, you won't be able to attack." Oboi knew that he must not stop at this time, and at this time he could only fight all the way to the end.

"Persevere, just hold on for a while."

"We're going to kill the defense line of the Ming army soon!"

"Hey!" Yabran responded, then turned around and shouted at the Eight Banners soldiers, Han soldiers, and soldiers behind him, "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, have you seen the Sun and Moon Banner in front of you?"

"That's the banner of the Ming army!"

"As long as the Ming army's central camp is broken,"

"Cut off the banner of the Chinese army, and we will win!"

"The Great Qing is victorious!" The Eight Banners soldiers roared angrily.

Accompanied by the roar, the Eight Banners soldiers, who had just reached the end of their crossbows, miraculously regained some vigor, and roared and launched an attack on the blunderbuss platform on the ninth line of defense.

……

"Father, Jianu has hit the nine-fold gun platform!"

The ninth heavy gun platform is less than [-] steps away from the canal pier.

At such a close distance, it can be vaguely seen even without a telescope.

Jiannu's tidal-like shouts of killing continued to pour into the ears of the two brothers like a devil's voice, which made the two brothers feel frightened for a while.

Zhu Cijiong was a little impatient.

However, Zhu Cihong was still able to hold his breath.

"It's not a big problem." On the contrary, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly, "Jiannu has reached the end of its strength, and they are about to be unable to attack. The ninth heavy gun platform will become their end."

"Really? That's really great!" Zhu Cijiong was overjoyed when he heard that.

Zhu Cihong also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that we can hold on this time again."

"Hold it? Hong'er, your request is too low." Chongzhen's eyes showed a cold look.

"Huh?" Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong cast astonished glances at Chongzhen at the same time, what does the emperor mean by this?
Chongzhen had already slid down the rope, and after he got down to the deck, he asked Wang Chengen to summon all the town commanders, deputy commanders, guerrillas, and garrison generals.

Seeing this, Huang Degong quickly put away the pipe.

Soon, the commanders of the ten towns, the deputy commanders, the guerrillas, the guards, and the commanders all gathered on the boat, totaling more than a hundred people.

Chongzhen began to give pre-war lectures.

"In the past few days, I have heard a lot of people complaining."

"It is said that we Daming soldiers will only be cowards. After being blocked by Jiannu for almost ten days, we dare not take the initiative to fight back even once. This is a group of eggless cowards!"

"I also know that you are all full of anger."

"But I want to tell you guys that our Ming soldiers are not cowards."

"The reason why we don't fight back is because the time has not yet come. When the time comes, we will take revenge!"

"But now, the time has come to fight back and take revenge. When you go back, tell the soldiers of the town what I said. There is no coward in my Ming Dynasty!"

"Don't fight back when you get beaten, and swallow your breath when you suffer, this is not the character of our Ming soldiers!"

"My Daming's strength of character is that if I am beaten, I will definitely fight back, if I suffer a loss, I will definitely get revenge, even if it is five years, ten years or even a hundred years!"

"Da Ming's dignity cannot be desecrated!"

The emotions of more than a hundred senior generals were immediately aroused by Chongzhen.

After a short pause, Chongzhen yelled again: "Now I order you to return to the camp immediately and prepare for a counterattack. After hearing the Chinese army's trumpet, we will launch a full-line counterattack! This time, we must kill all Jiannu! No one is allowed to go away! "

Kill all Jiannu?The emotions of more than a hundred senior generals rose to the peak at once.

How long had it been since they had heard such an exciting pre-war speech?
"Kill all Jiannu!" Chongzhen roared again, then raised his right hand and swung forward forcefully.

"Kill all Jiannu!" More than a hundred senior generals yelled, and then scattered away.

After watching more than a hundred senior generals scatter away, Chongzhen called Hu Guozhu to him again.

"Hu Guozhu, now you take a thousand barbarians along the west bank of Xinqu in Xia Town to behind Jiannu."

"I expect that Dingjiannu still has a certain number of Eight Banners soldiers left in the formation. Your task is to contain these Eight Banners soldiers and prevent them from taking over Jiannu who are trapped in the defense line of Xia Town!"

"The minister leads the decree!" Hu Guozhu turned and hurried away.

"Zheng Guerrilla!" Chongzhen said to Zheng Hongkui again.

"Jiannu will come out in full force this time, and there will not be too many troops left at Taizhuang Wharf."

"This is the best time to sneak attack on their tank ships. You should lead the navy to attack and destroy all Jian Nu's tank ships in the shortest possible time! I want them to pay for everything!"

"The minister leads the decree!" Zheng Hongkui cupped his hands and shouted again, "Sail!"

The sailors of more than a dozen bird boats raised the mainsail as quickly as possible, and at the same time, the iron anchor at the bow was raised, and the two sculls at the stern also began to stir the river water, and the warships that were originally stationary began to move forward.

Seeing this scene, Chongzhen heaved a long sigh of relief.

Not surprisingly, this time should be able to reap a big victory.

……

On the hill, Baiyintu had already started to struggle.

Years of experience in the battlefield constantly reminded him that the Eight Banners soldiers are now in great danger, and it should be too late to withdraw their troops now.

Although the Eight Banners soldiers are still advancing tenaciously at this time.

But Bai Yintu could tell that the Eight Banners soldiers were almost at the end of their strength.

On the other hand, the Ming army didn't even call in reinforcements from other directions. Just relying on the more than [-] blunderbuss captured by the Eight Banners soldiers, the Ming army almost exhausted the spirit of the Eight Banners soldiers.

It must be admitted that this defensive formation of the Ming army is really powerful.

Such a heavy blunderbuss, it feels as if it will never be finished.

After finally knocking out one, there is another one in front, and you knock out another one, and there is another one in front. This feeling is really desperate, suffocating, and too excruciating.

But Bai Yintu would not be reconciled if he withdrew his troops like this.

If he can't win this battle, not only will he not be able to avenge the defeat of Anshan Town, but he will definitely be ridiculed by bastards like Bahana after he goes back, and Xianghuangqi will become a laughing stock from now on.

Turning his head to glance at the sun that was setting towards the horizon, Bai Yintu thought to himself, attack for another half an hour!
If Oboi still can't penetrate the Ming army's defense line within half an hour, or can't completely defeat the Ming army, then withdraw his troops, it's better to be a laughing stock than to fall into a big somersault.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard a swan sound in my ear.

Um!This is?Baiyintu suddenly felt uneasy, the sound of the Ming army's horn?

Huo Ran turned around, and Bai Yintu was a little surprised to find that groups of heavily armed Yi Ding had rushed out from the edge of the canal in front right.

The Ming army reserved a passage on both sides of the canal.

The Ming army can pass through these passages, but the Eight Banners soldiers cannot.

Because it will be flanked by Ming army blunderbuss and Ming army naval warships.

In a blink of an eye, thousands of barbarians poured out from the side of the canal and began to line up.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yintu suddenly felt his eyes go dark. The more he was afraid of something, the more he would come. He was worried that the Ming army might take advantage of the exhaustion of the Eight Banners soldiers to launch a counterattack, and it finally came.

As for the Qianyi Ding in front of him, he was obviously just a vanguard, responsible for restraining a Jiala in his hand.

The Ming army leader on the opposite side was obviously capable, and he hit the vital point of the Eight Banners soldiers with just one blow.
