Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1374
Hauge ran back to the front line, he was really refreshed, he hadn't felt so happy for a long time.

That thief Wang Yan, I'm afraid he has never been scolded like this before. He is high on the top, thinking that everyone will flatter his stinky feet, and he is used to flattery. Son, obviously irritated.

Hauge felt dark for a while. After half a year, he vented half of his inner grievances. Now he is waiting for the bandit Wang to attack with his troops and hit his head with blood, so as to dissipate the other half of his grievances.

Sure enough, after Hauge Fang returned to the front line, the battle drums of the Ming army began to beat.

This caused Hauge to speed up his pace, hurriedly walked under the observation car, then boarded the observation car again slowly, and observed the opposite side with the binoculars.

He saw that soon after the golden armored Wang Yan returned to the central army, the Ming army's central army ordered the flag to wave and the drums and horns to sound.

"Haha!" Haoge put down the binoculars, his face was flushed, he raised his finger and pointed at the bright array, and laughed loudly: "Look, the king thief was really enraged by me. He was so angry from embarrassment that he wanted to attack me."

Tang Tong nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The master should not be angry and raise up the teacher, and the general should not be frustrated to fight, and the king's thief will be defeated!"

Sonny didn't hear Hauge and Wang Yan scolding each other just now, so he didn't quite understand. He looked at the Ming formation in the distance, and saw the Ming army's front formation. On the several miles long formation, the drums and trumpets kept sounding, and the flags waved again and again, and there was an attack. Therefore, he hurriedly said: "The Ming army is probably about to fire. Your Majesty, please get down to watch the chariot first, and go to the back to take shelter."

Hauge nodded and did not refuse. This matter is not a joke. Now that the goal has been achieved, as the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, he can no longer take risks to avoid capsizing the gutter.

At that moment, Hauge and his party got out of the lookout car and only retreated behind the third low wall.It is relatively safe behind the battlefield, and [-] elite soldiers are hidden here as a reserve team for the final counterattack.

At this time, on the artillery formation of the Ming army, nearly a hundred artillery pieces were lined up on the front line.

Because it was an attack, artillery of various sizes were placed at the forefront of the formation.

The officers in the artillery team are using a monocular telescope and various rulers to measure and calculate distances and adjust the positions of the cannons.

In the past, there were many Portuguese in the artillery team of the Ming army, but now there are fewer people. The Ming army has basically mastered the skills of the Portuguese. and teaching assistants.

Most of the current Artillery Military Academy are graduates of martial arts.

It is worth mentioning that Guozijian and Wuxue, the two highest institutions of literature and martial arts, which governed the dynasty together, after more than eight years of development, now have more than 900 students. Thousands of [-] people.

Nowadays, in Guozijian and martial arts, apart from a large number of Han people, there are also some Guiyi. In addition, North Korea, Annan Three Kingdoms, Siam, Luzon, and even Japan have sent personnel to study in Ming Dynasty and provide Ming Dynasty in East Asia. strong cultural and military influence.

At this time, Wang Yan, who returned to the Chinese army, called Chen Yujie, the commander of the artillery team, and said: "Fire the artillery harder, don't worry about the gunpowder, and don't care whether you can hit it or not, as long as you shoot with anger, it will be fine."

Chen Yujie clasped his fists when he heard the order, "The minister accepts the order and promises to blow up the gold thief."

Wang Yan nodded, waved him away, and then asked someone to call Sun Shoufa.

While waiting, the front army suddenly heard a golden sound, and the rangers in front of the formation retreated to both sides of the formation.

Then a red flag was waved down in the artillery formation of the former army, and more than a dozen red cannons retreated suddenly, making a loud noise, and more than a dozen iron bullets flashed past, smashing on the ditch in front of the Jin army's line, The horse-rejecting post was smashed, splashing a cloud of dust and sawdust.

A shell just hit the low wall of the Jin army, and overturned the earthen wall built with loess. The Jin army behind the wall screamed loudly, and the officer raised his arms and shouted, "Ming thieves fired a cannon, everyone went down to the pit to hide!"

The Jin army behind the low wall, except for a few lying on the earth wall to observe, most of the soldiers turned around and jumped into the dug pit.

"We're starting to test the artillery so soon." Wang Yan casually said that Sun Shoufa had already arrived in the Chinese army. He saluted Wang Yan, and Wang Yan immediately said, "After the shelling, the attack of the former army must be louder. , but remember to pay attention to casualties."

"I understand!" Sun Shoufa nodded, then clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Jianguo means to make it more lively."

Wang Yan also smiled, seeing that Sun Shoufa deeply understood his thoughts, he waved his hand and said, "That's the case, let's do it!"

At this time, in front of the artillery formation, the gunners had readjusted their running positions, and the soldiers had reloaded ammunition, and those who could open the flower shells were loaded with expensive flower shells, ready to wait for the commander's order.

Chen Yujie used the binoculars to look at the Jin army's front in the distance, then put down the binoculars, and waved the flag in his hand.

Beside the cannons lined up in a line, the gunners used spikes to pierce the ammunition packs in the barrels and inserted the fuses. Hundreds of gunners lit the torches one after another and stood beside the pitch-black cannons.

The front of the Ming army was like a forest of spears, and the banners were like clouds. At this time, tens of thousands of Ming troops also turned their attention to the artillery formation.The more fiercely the artillery fires, the easier it is for them to attack. Watching these artillery bombard the golden array can improve the morale of the soldiers.

At this time, the artillery team suddenly blew a whistle, and the artillery array immediately burst into deafening artillery sounds, and thick white smoke instantly covered the long front line.

Nearly a hundred artillery mounts placed in front retreated one by one, making loud noises and puffing up clouds of gunpowder smoke. The scene was very spectacular.

Nearly a hundred shells of various kinds rushed out of the muzzle and smashed into the Jin army's position. Dust was flying on the vast position, and countless soil was blown into the air and fell like raindrops, hitting behind the wall or hiding in the anti-cannon pit Golden Army backs and helmets.

On the front line of the Jin army, there were explosive spots everywhere, splashing mud pillars one after another, which made the soldiers of the Ming army in the front line extremely excited and their hearts beating wildly.

After finishing one round, the soldiers of the Ming army immediately cleared the gun barrel. When the wet brush touched the hot barrel, there was the sound of water droplets evaporating immediately. After the bombardment, the entire Ming army line was filled with smoke, and the Ming army phalanx behind them all loomed.

On the Jin army's position, the sound of the earth wall collapsing and the rustling of the soil sliding down continued to be heard, and the screams of many soldiers also sounded from all around.

Hauge hid behind a shed with four wooden stakes and a khaki coarse cloth roof. He saw the scene of the Ming army shelling and heard the continuous mud falling on the cloth above his head.

He felt the ground shaking caused by the bombardment and was shocked by the power of the God of War, but he smiled on his face and said, "The king thief is really angry!"

Sonny on the side felt differently. He shook the dirt that fell on his body, and cursed: "You son of a bitch, you missed the hit, and you still hit like this, the thief Wang is so fucking rich!"

Every shot is worth real gold and silver, and many gold generals also sighed for a while.

Hauge also rejoiced in his heart. Although his defensive line was solid, it would not last long if it went on for a long time. Fortunately, Wang Yan was eager to end the war and rescue the Ming army in Lintong, and he didn't have time to continue like spending half a year outside Tongguan. He can only make a quick decision, and a quick decision requires him to take the lives of the soldiers of the Ming army to flatten his defense line.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is moving!" At this time, after three rounds of shelling, the artillery of the Ming army stopped temporarily, and Tang Tong suddenly pointed to the front and said loudly.

Hauge looked around, and saw tens of thousands of Ming troops, divided into a dozen or so square formations, came out of the dense gunpowder smoke at the moment when the artillery stopped.

These soldiers and horses walking out of the smoke are like heavenly soldiers.

A few flags of the Ming army were at the forefront, and the strong wind howled and the flags fluttered. Tens of thousands of Ming troops followed the flags, each with their weapons, rolling forward like a torrent.

Seeing this, Haoge had a sneer on his face, and he suddenly waved his hands and said: "Command, Wu Sangui, King of Shu, and Meng Qiaofang, King of Yongping County, tell them that the main force of the king's thief is attacking our army's front, and let the two of them choose the opportunity to attack. Break through the wings of the Ming thief, and break the king's army!"

The soldiers who delivered the order immediately ordered on one knee, and then galloped north and south.Now as long as the Ming army's frontal attack is frustrated, the opportunity for the Jin army on the two wings will come.

Hauge was already full of confidence at this time, with a smile on his face, he said in his heart, "Tie Wang, I'm afraid that you will shrink back and make the tortoise trick again. Now I will defend you and attack, and I can't ask for it."

When the Ming army was rushing forward, Wang Yan immediately summoned the banner officer around him and said: "Go, tell Li Guo that the battle has already started here in Gu, and Zhang Mingzhen is on the northern front. Tell him not to worry, and attack me fiercely." Wu Sangui, we must defeat Wu Jun!"
