A night of harassment made the entire Qing army camp miserable. During the day, Abate and Yanguli had swollen panda eyes and gloomy expressions.

In the end, the two decided to rest for the whole army today and recover for a while before withdrawing. Otherwise, they would retreat in a daze, and they would be more likely to get sleepy during the march on a hot day. If the Ming army sent out cavalry to pursue them again, they would suffer huge losses.

Want to rest? But Zhu Cihong wouldn't let him. Just as the Qing army was preparing to take a rest in the camp, another scout came to report that a large number of Ming infantry appeared two miles away from the camp.

The Ming army left the city!

Abatai was startled and quickly ordered everyone to beat the drums to prepare for battle.

However, when the Qing army was in formation, Tan Ma came again to report that the Ming army had withdrawn from the city.

Abatai sneered, saying that the Ming army did not dare to engage in a field battle with him due to the huge disparity in numbers. Then he ordered each battalion to rest assured and repair.

Less than half an hour later, Tan Ma came again to report that a large number of Ming troops appeared two miles away from the main camp. The shouts of the Ming troops could be heard from all the camps of the Qing army. Waves of sounds of victory came from each camp.

The whole camp was in panic.

Abate was so angry that he ordered his cavalry to attack and harass them, forcing them to return to the city.

The cavalry of the Qing army had been tortured all night. They were exhausted and exhausted, but they still had the energy to attack. Not long after they left, they were bombarded back by the Yongwei battalion using Fran machine guns and shotguns.

Abatai had no choice but to once again order the entire battalion to line up and prepare for battle.

Once again, when the Qing army completed their formation, the Ming army once again withdrew from the city.

Yangu Li had black panda eyes, gritted his teeth and asked for battle: "Rao Yubeile, I am willing to lead the troops to fight!"

Abatai agreed to his request and ordered him to lead an army of five thousand to guard the south gate of the new city. If the Ming army left the city, they would attack head-on. His army would also gather to press forward, break into the city in one wave, and kill the Ming Dynasty.

Prince.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The result is that Yanguli led the army and stood there for a long time, and there was no movement at the south gate of the new city.

Zhu Cixiang played this way, just like the harassment at night. First, it was to harass them so that they could not get a good rest, and second, it was to embolden the new battalion to adapt to the battlefield. He found that the effect was pretty good!

By noon, the temperature reached over 30 degrees, especially under the bright sun. The Qing troops blocking the south gate of the new city were so hot and sweating that they felt like they were about to be steamed.

Just when Yangguli was impatient and led his army to turn around and return, the south gate of the new city opened wide, and more than 10,000 infantrymen from the Yongwei Battalion and the new battalion were dispatched to kill Yangguli's 5,000 troops.

Under the guidance of rows of musketeers from the Brave Guard Camp, the five thousand Tatar soldiers who had originally changed their formation and returned to the camp were completely stunned. For a time, the entire Yangguli army collapsed and was chased and shot. More than half of them were killed or injured.

Yang Guli was shot to death by General Qian of the Yongwei Battalion.

The news reached the Qing army camp. Abatai was so frightened and angry that he spurted out blood. For the third time, he ordered the whole camp to line up and prepare for battle.

However, by the time Abatai organized his army and came to attack, the Ming army had already returned to the city after killing Yanguli's tribe.

After returning to the new city, Zhu Cihong sent an order to leave only 2,000 people to guard the city, while the rest took a half-hour lunch break.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, this is the point in summer when people are most likely to feel sleepy, especially the Qing soldiers, who had been tossing all night and half a day, and were even more drowsy at this time.

At this time, Abatai received another report from the horse inspection, and the Ming army once again appeared two miles away from the camp.

Abatai was speechless and numb. He said bitterly: "I have read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" three times and never seen this style of play. What do these southern barbarians want to do!"

Although he complained, Abatai finally faithfully ordered the whole battalion to line up and prepare for the battle.

The story of the boy who cried wolf was staged in the Ming Dynasty. The Qing soldiers did not believe it at all, and many of them lingered there unable to get up.

If this kind of thing happened normally, he would definitely be killed by the people in charge of the formation to boost the morale of the army, but this time, even the people in the formation control team were unwilling to get up.

Many people yelled and cursed: "Fuck you, I'm almost tortured to death!" After saying that, they fell asleep.

This time, less than half of the people gathered in the formation and began to curse. Just as there was a roar of curses in the Qing army camp, suddenly a large black iron ball came through the sky and shot into the Qing army camp.

.

"It's the Ming army's artillery!" someone exclaimed.

There were cries of ghosts and howls of wolves in the Qing army camp. It was only then that the Tatars knew that the wolves were really coming!

Two miles away from the Qing army's camp, twenty Shenwei generals and dozens of twelve-pound Hongyi cannons lined up in a row, blasting the Qing army's camp, especially the Qing army's cavalry barracks.

"fire!"

The artillery commander shouted with all his strength while raising his flag.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The deafening sound of the artillery made the whole earth tremble, and all the large-caliber long-range artillery of the Shenji Battalion greeted the Qing army camp.

A large number of iron balls slammed into various camps of the Qing army. Large iron balls weighing more than ten kilograms or even more than twenty kilograms hit the hard ground with a bang, then bounced hard and rushed straight away.

The Qing army's tent was beaten into a mess, and many Tatars were still sleeping and would never wake up.

There were also some iron balls rolling at high speed, breaking the legs of some Qing soldiers who were already in formation. For a while, the screams of the Qing army camp continued to sound, and the Qing soldiers who were busy gathering in the camp continued to

Some were knocked down by the rolling shells. They screamed and ran away.

At the same time, a large number of stables were smashed by iron bullets, and the horses were killed and injured. The horses neighed, and many horses were frightened and dragged wooden stakes around.

For a time, a majestic scene of thousands of galloping horses appeared in the Qing army camp, and countless Qing soldiers were knocked over and trampled to death by the horses.

"Damn it!" Abate cursed in Chinese, and then gritted his teeth and ordered the whole battalion to assemble urgently, not to panic, and to prepare for a counterattack.

A total of more than 20,000 people from the Yongwei Camp, Shenji Camp, Shenshu Camp, and Xinying Camp sent troops from the three city gates at the same time and went straight to the Qing army camp outside the city.

The Yongwei Battalion was in the center, the Shenji Battalion's artillery was in the front, and the New Battalion's infantry was in the rear. All the cavalry divisions on both wings pressed up against the Qing army's camp.

"The artillery array continues to advance! Press on!"

Under Zhu Cixiang's order, except for the general cannons and Hongyi cannons with a range of two miles, the remaining several-pound Hongyi cannons and Franco machine guns with short ranges all continued to advance with the army.

After advancing to one mile away from the Qing army's camp, the Qing army quickly completed its assembly and began its counterattack against the Ming army after losing thousands of people in panic.

The Qing cavalry mounted their horses and began to charge against the Shenji Battalion's artillery array. However, after the chaos just now, the number of cavalry that could be organized was only half of the previous one.

There were more than 200 Franconian cannons in the Shenji Battalion artillery array, plus more than 300 Hongyi cannons, all of which sprayed fierce fire at the rushing Qing cavalry.

In order to cause large-scale destruction, the artillerymen of the Shenji Battalion filled these artillery pieces with lead pellets and iron sand as thick as their thumbs, as well as some round pebbles. Nearly three hundred artillery pieces fired a salvo, sending iron pellets flying all over the sky.

It enveloped the entire front of the car array.

Dense masses of projectiles came towards their faces, and the bodies of the men and horses hit by the hail of bullets were all covered with dense and thick blood holes.

A miserable scream of horses and men rang out from the Qing cavalry, and then it was like a typhoon sweeping across a wheat field. Especially the first few rows of Qing cavalry were swept away.

More than 300 artillery pieces fired volleys of shotgun shells. The scene was comparable to hell, and it made one's scalp numb just looking at it.

The horses of the Qing army that were swept away were rolling on the ground covered in blood and flesh, and some were running wildly in all directions and screaming miserably, causing great confusion among the Qing army's cavalry.

"fire!"

Wang Wannian's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed his nausea and continued to direct the Shenji Battalion to attack. Another large iron pellet flew past, and all the screams from the Qing cavalry were instantly drowned out.

"fire!"

The firepower in the middle was too fierce, and large groups of Qing cavalry rushed toward the two wings of the Shenji Battalion artillery array. Hundreds of squatting tiger cannons on both wings of the artillery array sprayed a large number of fierce cannons at them.

"fire!"
Chapter completed!
