The 10,000 Qing troops were assembled and formed in the new city. Just when Bo Hetuo was giving the order to attack the city, his father Abatai came with the army.

After Abatai heard about this incident, he slapped Bo Hetuo on the spot and said: "You bastard, the barbarian is extremely cunning, can you believe this?"

Bo Hetuo was so angry and unconvinced, he said: "Ama, I want revenge! Please let me attack the city!"

Abatai waved his hand and told him to hurry up and take revenge. Abatai also wanted to kill the Ming prince and shame the Qing warriors for losing 30,000 soldiers.

When Zhu Cixiang heard that the Tatars were coming again, he personally came to the city wall and looked through the telescope. He saw that two miles away, the Qing army's flags were fluttering, and there was a sea of ​​people. In the middle was a blue flag with a red edge.

The flag is embroidered with a giant python.

Looking at the embroidery on the flag, Zhu Cixi already knew that the Qing army was led by a prince or Baylor, and that the general's flag was blue, so it should be Abatai who was born in Zhenglan Banner.

Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhaci. He was just promoted to the title of Dororao Yubeile this year. Because he was born to a concubine, he was ignored. His father and slaves ignored him, and his eighth brother Huang Taiji also ignored him.

When Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, he was given the title of Prince of the clan. Dorgon, Duduo and his nephews and nephews, Haoge and Yue Tuo, who were all in their twenties, were all granted the title of prince. Even people like Azige were granted the title of county prince.

, the forty-seven-year-old Abate still holds the title of Baylor.

Although the title "Rao Yu" (meaning wealthy in Manchu) is added before the title of Baylor to show the difference, the title of Baylor is two levels lower than that of the prince.

If you don’t have a good relationship with your boss, what about your brothers? That Prince Zheng, Jierhalang, was originally the nephew of the old Khan Nurhaci. After his father and brother rebelled, he was still trusted and reused. After Huang Taiji became emperor, he was even named

Prince Heshuo Zheng, who made him have a close relationship with Huang Taiji since he was a child!

Abatai has always had a grudge against Huang Taiji and was very unhappy. It was not just a matter of title, but the most important thing was that Huang Taiji had bullied others to such an extent that he was guilty of being afraid of his wife! He also charged himself with being "subject to his wife".

Force yourself to divorce your wife!

The Qing army rearranged its formation under the new city, with Abatai's three Zhenglan Banner Jia La as the center, the five Mongolian Jia La, divided into the front, rear, left, right, and center, forming five small formations, and the five Han army Jia La

At the front, another large formation formed.

Zhu Cixiang looked carefully through the telescope. He saw that the Qing army had a clear banner and a neat lineup. They were uniformly composed of soldiers in the front and followers in the back. Each one was well-dressed and armored. At first glance, it looked like a battle-hardened army.

"I didn't expect that Abatai, a 'tracheitis', would be a good hand at leading troops." Zhu Cixiang secretly thought, and at the same time sighed in his heart that the Eight Banners Army was indeed much stronger than the average Ming army.

Abatai was also observing the new city carefully, and saw that this city was really not small, but why didn't he see it when he went south to the capital of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, and it was not shown on the march map.

This march map was redrawn by the Qing Dynasty in the past six months. Logically speaking, there would not be such a big mistake, which made Abatai very puzzled.

Abatai is half a soldier, and in all battles against the Ming army, he basically takes and conquers everything. Although the city in front of him is a bit mysterious, it should not be difficult for him to lead an army of 20,000 to capture it.

After roughly observing the new city, Abatai immediately ordered two Eight Banners Han troops from Jia La to launch the first round of attack on the new city.

The two Han army Jia La, with a total of more than 3,000 people, formed a large roaring mass. The front pushed a shield cart to resist firecrackers and bows and arrows, and the soldiers behind pushed more than a dozen ladder carts and launched an attack on the new city.

Just when the Qing army began to attack the city and entered the firing range of the artillery, Zhu Cixi waved his hand and ordered the flag officer to wave the command flag quickly. When the leaders of each artillery team saw the command flag, they immediately shouted in unison: "Fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Amidst the loud noise, dozens of Hongyi cannons on the city wall immediately emitted large amounts of white smoke.

Amidst the roaring sound, hot iron balls flew out from the top of the city and smashed into the crowd of Qing soldiers. The solid bullets weighing several kilograms from the Hongyi cannon bounced and rolled on the hard ground, leaving a trail of blood.

The dozen or so small solid bullets fired along with the artillery were flying around, and the Qing soldiers screamed and rolled to the ground. A large area of ​​the Qing army under the city had fallen. The Qing soldiers' shield vehicles and soldier arrays were really

It's so dense that it's hard to miss.

The main force defending the city this time was the New Battalion, the Yongwei Battalion, the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion all became reserve forces. Zhu Cixiang's main purpose of this battle was to temper the New Battalion.

The gunners of the new battalion, under the command of their artillery team leader, calmly fired and loaded ammunition.

Although the current firing results are still far behind the gunners of the Yongwei Battalion, and Zhu Cixiang also feels that it is not ideal, compared with other Ming troops, they are much more elite.

The gunner next to each gun constantly used measurements to calculate the distance. As they gave orders, the other gunner continued to adjust the muzzle elevation with cranks and screws.

Under their aimed fire, one Qing army shield vehicle was smashed to pieces, and the Qing soldiers in the array were covered with blood and flesh. The ground was covered with corpses, and many people were struggling on the ground and screaming in pain.

The fierce artillery fire of the Ming army caused a commotion in the Qing army camp coming from the front. It seemed that the shield car beside them could not bring them safety at all.

Some Qing soldiers just couldn't help but shrink back, and were whipped fiercely by Bo Hetuo and the supervisory team behind them. In the end, they continued to advance despite artillery fire, and soon advanced one mile.

Abatai couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many cannons on the city wall, and how could these cannons be so accurate?

He never dreamed that there is a word "science" in this world. Whether it is the Yongwei Camp or the New Camp, all gunners must study the "Measurement of Measurement" co-authored by Matteo Ricci, Tang Ruowang and others, which is used to measure artillery distances.

and "Fire Attack" which measures the elevation angle of the gun barrel.

Since learning these two kinds of professional knowledge and adding sights and rulers to the artillery, the accuracy of the Yongwei Battalion's artillery has also greatly increased.

The dense artillery shells broke through several large holes in the Qing army's camp, leaving an indelible and terrifying shadow on the psychology of the Qing army attacking the city.

Although the two Tatars in the front row attacking the city were extremely frightened, they still did not dare to retreat. Once these stepmothers retreated, they would be killed by the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers behind them.

It is true that once they become slaves, good things will not come their way. When they are charged as cannon fodder, they will be killed one after another. They cannot escape. The only thing they hope for is to quickly capture the city and vent their anger.

When the Qing army entered within 200 steps of the city wall, they thought they had passed the long-range attack range of the artillery. Just when they were about to relax, they suddenly remembered the sound of more cannons on the city wall!

On the city wall of the new city, although the Hongyi cannons were not staring at them, the low-range Franco cannons and tiger squatting cannons began to fire one after another.

At this time, there was a dense row of artillery on the city wall, and they were all firing shotguns. A hail of bullets flew in, and a large number of Qing soldiers were immediately harvested. It was really a river of blood, and it was terrible to see!

Abatai couldn't help but frown. He could see clearly from the high platform of the central army that half of the three thousand Qing soldiers' vanguard had been wiped out before they even reached the moat under the city wall.

The Ming army's artillery was so powerful that he was a little surprised. He had underestimated the Ming army stationed in the new city.

Abatai immediately ordered that all the troops attacking the city should be withdrawn. Although the Han army could be used as cannon fodder, they could not be allowed to die in vain. Even the cannon fodder had to be used in the right place.

Hearing the trumpet sound of retreat, the Eight Banners and Han troops were immediately relieved. They turned around and ran away, scrambling one by one for fear that they would be a step too late. In just a moment, the battlefield became empty, leaving only more than a thousand soldiers.

A miserable corpse.

Abatai snorted dissatisfiedly when he saw the performance of the Han Eight Banners Army. The Eight Banners Han Army's troops were the fastest when retreating.
Chapter completed!
