Outside the Qing army's camp, groups of Ming army cavalry roared and followed, running wantonly around the Qing army's camp.

"Tatars! Come out and fight!"

A group of dragons waved their spears arrogantly at night and shouted loudly at the Qing army camp.

The generals of the Zhenglan Banner all looked ugly, and the Ming army came to call them into battle. Never had the Qing soldiers suffered such humiliation!

They were angry, but no one dared to ask for a fight. They had personally experienced the sharpness of this Ming army, and no one was willing to die before leaving the border.

"Azig! Abatai! Come out and die!"

Outside the Qing army's camp, more and more Ming army cavalry galloped, numbering tens of thousands. They circled on both wings of the Ming army's center. The rumble of horse hooves made the ground tremble violently, and large amounts of smoke and dust rose up.

"Azig! Abatai! Come out and die!"

In front of the main formation of the Ming army, a sea of ​​red flags fluttered. Yang Qili led Long Xiang, the first sentry, and continued to call for formation at night without reining in his horse.

"Death!"

"Death!"

"Death!"

Tens of thousands of Ming troops shouted in unison, and huge waves of sound surged into the Qing army camp one after another.

The Ming army was so powerful that the Tatars in the camp all turned pale. The Tatar generals turned pale when they looked at the dark Ming army formation in the distance, especially when they saw several huge dragon flags in the formation.

"It's the prince of the Ming Dynasty who is chasing me..." Abatai felt bitter in his heart. What he was most worried about had happened.

"Amma, let the boy lead the army and kill them!" Bo Hetuo was furious and asked Abatai to fight, hoping to frustrate the Ming army's spirit.

Abatai stopped him immediately. He would not give away a person's head like this. He said seriously: "Hold on until the front team leaves the border!"

Zhu Cixiang stood on a four-meter-high double-decker chariot, looking through the telescope at the closed Qing army camp. The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "It's just a wooden camp without trenches, it can still block our army."

?Idiot’s dream!”

The Qing army's camp was the most common wooden camp. It was built by cutting down trees and erecting fences when the enemy was in urgent situation. The camp could be formed quickly and could defend against the impact of cavalry and infantry.

Lu Xiangsheng saw the military camp clearly from a distance and said: "If there are artillery from the Shenji Battalion to help, this camp will be vulnerable."

Huang Degong also said: "It's a pity that our army's artillery was not brought. If it had been brought, these pieces of rotten wood would have been beaten to pieces!"

Zhu Cixiang shook his head and said: "You don't have to use artillery to destroy this camp. You can also use fire to attack it!"

Sun Yingyuan said: "Your Highness, our army's magic arrows and other rockets were not brought because of the inconvenience of operation. If we use bows and arrows to shoot, we will definitely suffer huge losses."

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Who said you should use bows and arrows? Use the fire dragon from the artillery camp to get out of the water!"

"The fire dragon came out of the water? Your Highness wants to burn down the slave camp?" Lu Xiangsheng asked in surprise.

"Not bad!" Zhu Cixi nodded.

The Fire Dragon is a new type of rocket invented in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It is an amphibious rocket and the ancestor of the two-stage rocket. It has a range of two to three miles. The Ming army once used it to severely damage the Japanese fleet in the Battle of Luliang.

Under the faucet where the fire dragon comes out of the water, and on both sides of the dragon's tail, a half-pound gunpowder barrel is installed. The four rocket fuses are gathered together and connected to the rocket fuses in the belly of the fire dragon.

Since the fire dragon coming out of the water can burn warships, it can naturally burn Qing army camps from a long distance.

The fire dragon is only over one meter long and is not heavy, so it is easy to carry. The artillerymen of the Yongwei Battalion cannot carry artillery, but they bring a lot of other lightweight firearms.

When the artillerymen of the Yongwei Battalion aimed dozens of fire dragons out of the water at the Qing army camp, they unceremoniously lit the four gunpowder barrels on the dragons. With a whooshing sound, dozens of fire dragons flew out of the water quickly.

Flying far away to the Qing army camp.

After the first-stage rocket on the dragon's body burned, the rocket in the dragon's belly automatically ignited (the second-stage rocket). At this time, several rockets were shot out from the dragon's mouth, directly reaching the wooden railings on the camp, and then burned.

Chaos suddenly broke out in the Qing army's camp. Some generals ordered the soldiers to use water to put out the fire. But there was no water in the temporary camp. After leaving the border, there was a huge mountain. There was insufficient water for a period of time. Who would be so stupid as to use their own drinking water?

Put out the fire?

Zhu Cihong said: "Lu Qing, you lead the Tianxiong army to the flanks behind the Tatar camp. When our army breaks the camp from the front, your troops will immediately seize the Tatar retreat."

"Yes!" Lu Xiangsheng responded and immediately led the Tianxiong army to deploy.

Zhu Cixiang continued: "This battle is under the full command of Huang Degong, and all battalions obey his orders!"

"Yes!" The soldiers from all battalions responded one after another.

Zhu Cixiang asked Sun Yingyuan to command the Battle of Xincheng, and Huang Degong to command this battle. This could not only balance their military exploits, but also train the two generals' ability to command and apply firearms tactics.

After carefully observing the situation in the Qing army's camp, Huang Degong immediately ordered: "The musket formation clears the way! Prepare to break the camp!"

The officers of the two battalions shouted orders one after another: "The musket formation clears the way..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The war drums were beating, and on the horizon, several dense and neat musket formations were advancing towards the Qing army camp like moving castles.

The sound of the uniform steps of iron boots hitting the ground was like a hammer hitting the heart in the ears of the Qing army, making people breathless.

Several phalanxes came forward in darkness. The familiar battle formations and momentum made Abatai's face twitch unnaturally: "The Ming Army's Fire Gun Soldiers..."

"Blow the drums and call the formation!" Huang Degong gave the order, and the rhythm of the drums suddenly became faster.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The three killing sounds contained endless killing intent and were so majestic that they shook the world. The Qing army turned pale after hearing this, and those who were originally putting out the fire in front of the camp couldn't help but take a few steps back.

There was even a slight commotion among the Tianxiong troops who went to deploy. They were all shocked by the power of these thousands of fire gun soldiers. Lu Xiangsheng even sighed: "With such military power, they will definitely be invincible!"

When the musket formation was a hundred steps away from the camp, all the musketeers began to fire a volley at the camp in front. Amidst the sound of firecrackers like exploding beans, sawdust scattered in the Qing army camp, and the surrounding Qing soldiers also

Everyone fell down.

Chao Pichang led his 2,000 surrendering troops and ran back from the wall in fear, holding their heads and screaming. No one wanted to stand there as cannon fodder and wait to die. The incompetence of the surrendering Ming army made the Tatars grit their teeth in anger but they were helpless.

.

"Keep pushing!" Huang Degong continued to shout.

Several musket formations marched to the beat of the drums, firing a volley every ten steps forward. After firing the guns, they were reloading while advancing, which was extremely stable.

When they were thirty steps away from the camp, the musket array had already fired seven or eight rounds. The Qing troops in the camp had already retreated far away, hiding within fifty steps behind the camp wall, waiting for the Ming army to break through the wall.

Then let out a volley of arrows.

"Grenade, break the camp!"

Huang Degong gave an order, and the musketeers hung their muskets on their shoulders one after another, then took a round grenade from their waists, lit it with fire sticks, and threw it towards the wall of the village.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were bursts of explosions, and the Qing army's stronghold wall was vulnerable to a single blow, and was directly blown down into pieces.

"Is this broken?"

Not only Abatai was dumbfounded, but all the Qing troops were also stunned. They originally expected to blackmail the Ming troops, block them in front of the wall and shoot randomly with bows and arrows, but the wall didn't work at all!

Huang Degong continued: "Keep moving forward, shoot every ten steps!"

Amidst the sound of war drums, densely packed musketeers poured into the Qing army's camp. They continued to advance with every ten steps and shot, appearing very rigorous.

The Qing army was forced to retreat steadily. No one wanted to deal with these thousands of Ming army musketeers. The guys in their hands were too cruel.

Huang Degong continued to shout: "All the cavalry charge from both wings! The left wing enters the pass to rescue the people, and the right wing takes the Tatars' retreat and annihilates them in one fell swoop!"
Chapter completed!
