Chapter 167 He shoots and lets him shoot, how much can he do to me?

In Jiazhuang, Lu Xiangsheng looked tense. Standing on the high watchtower, he could see most of the situation of the Xuanda army's Jiazhuang defense line at a glance. The Qing army's offensive was extremely fierce. Battle reports came from everywhere, and the casualties of soldiers on the front line were also increasing. .

Fortunately, there were strong camps built in advance, especially outside the camps, the front line of defense combined with trenches and earth walls greatly hindered the advancement of the Qing army.

Coupled with the reasonable allocation of artillery, firecrackers, and shield soldiers, and close cooperation, the first wave of the Qing army's offensive was barely blocked, looking at the trenches and passages stained red with blood.

Chen An, Lu Xiangsheng's general in the Chinese army, even sighed beside him: "General Zhang Cheng is really a genius of a generation, to come up with such a defensive strategy."

Lu Xiangsheng also looked at the seemingly simple and chaotic arrangements around Jia Zhuang, but he did not expect that they really exerted unimaginable power.

Those fierce and brutal Qing soldiers rushed towards them like a tide. If Zhang Cheng hadn't arranged it like this, Lu Xiangsheng didn't have much confidence in whether he could hold Jiazhuang's defense line at the end of the fierce battle. He could only fight hard with all his heart. .

I really don't know how Zhang Cheng came up with such a fortification.

He shook his head, not knowing what to say.

He even felt that there were many things in Zhang Cheng's mind that would seem weird to him, but would be very useful!
…………

In extreme panic, the Qing soldiers fled back along the only passages, until they were hidden behind their own shield vehicles again, all of them still stared straight in their eyes and felt lingering fear.

They all secretly rejoiced in their hearts: fortunately, they were able to escape back alive because of the backs of the soldiers who rushed to the front.

terrible!

Through the gap in the shield workshop, they looked at the defense line of Xuan Da's army on the opposite side. Only demons would come up with such a defense.

Think about us, the powerful warriors of the Qing Dynasty, who have been rampant for many years and have always been invincible, but today, in this small Jiazhuang, they encountered such a strange line of defense.

Reluctantly, he became the target of the Ming army on the opposite side, and he couldn't fight back just by being beaten. This deep sense of powerlessness is too heart-shattering, and the firecrackers and artillery of the Ming army are too powerful, and no heavy armor can stop them. Everyone has lingering fears about the ditches, earthen walls, and their artillery and muskets on the Ming army's line.

Moreover, these Ming soldiers were also very capable of fighting, even when he rushed in front of them, he didn't retreat and run away, instead he dared to rush out to fight.

Finally, they stabilized their minds, as if they wanted to vent their previous sullenness and fear. These heavy armored Qing soldiers who fled back shouted wildly, and ordered the archers behind the shield chariot to throw arrows again and attack the front line of defense. Sergeant Xuan Da.

Arrows whistled, and a large rain of arrows flew obliquely into the air. Looking from afar, it was indeed astonishing, flying towards Jia Zhuang as if covering the sky and covering the sun.

The Xuan Dajun on the defense line did not take the arrows thrown by the Qing army seriously. After all, they had just experienced such a tragic battle, and they had also experienced the arrows thrown by the Qing army just now. terrible!

He shoots and lets him shoot, how can he stand up to me?

The arrows jumped over the ditches and earthen walls, and fell in the air on the Xuanda army's defense line. The sergeants either raised their shields to cover them, or raised their firecrackers and spears to push away the falling arrows.

The arrows thrown by these Qing army archers lost most of their lethality when they fell. If they were to deal with unarmored peasants, they were still sharp weapons, but they were not a big deal to those who were wearing full body armor.

Zhang Cheng led the soldiers under his command and walked back slowly. The arrows thrown by the Qing army fell, and there was a sound of "clinking". .

There were several arrows hanging from Zhang Cheng's body, but he didn't care, and continued to walk towards the south gate of Jia Zhuang as if nothing had happened.

Outside the south gate, he stood on an earthen wall, turned around and looked at the messy killing field, and said in his heart:
"Happy, really happy."

…………

The Qing army's infantry were still densely surrounded outside the Xuanda army's line, and they did not dare to withdraw without a military order.

However, it was all quiet at this moment, and everyone could only hear the sound of their own flags rolling in the wind, and they were no longer shouting and howling like they were before the war.

Bursts of gunpowder smoke mixed with the choking smell of blood came out, which was particularly pungent in the severe winter, and the cold wind was howling. Many Qing soldiers were trembling all over. Maybe it was fear, or maybe it was physical exhaustion after the fierce battle. Great reason.

They looked at each other in dismay, and the defense line of the Ming army on the opposite side was like a hedgehog, sharp and sharp. Any opponent who went up would be stabbed and covered in blood.

Especially the layout of the trenches. Although our side has densely packed shield vehicles, they are not of much use. How will we fight this battle in the future?
"These Nikans are too...too..."

Eight Banners Manchuria Bordered Red Banner Baya La Ying Niu Lu Zhang Jing Tan worshiped, and heard Jia La Zhang Jing Buyan Tu muttering next to him.

These Baya soldiers rode their horses in the back to supervise the battle, and had not yet received the military order to go forward to fight, but the tragic situation of the warriors of each banner in front of the battle also chilled the hearts of these elite Baya soldiers in each banner.

No matter how brave he is, facing such a defense line of the Ming army, he might be useless at all, right?

The defense line of the Ming army in front of them, their layout and morale of the army are far beyond everyone's understanding. They don't know how to break through the Ming army's fortress in front of them.

I don't know how many warriors' blood and corpses will be used in exchange for victory in this battle!
Fears surged in their hearts, and the low defense line of the Ming army in front of them suddenly became impenetrable in the eyes of everyone, as if it was impossible to break through.

…………

Julu, outside the defense line of Jia Zhuangxuan's army.

Rao, who was known for his bravery and brutality, was also shocked by the brutality of today's battle.

Many of the Qing soldiers who were drafted out later didn't even remember whether they had fought as fiercely as today. They fought all the way from Liaodong to the land of Hetao, and invaded the Ming frontier fortress several times.

Even when they invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty several times, when did they encounter such fierce fighting? Even if some places had dared to resist their Qing warriors, they had never encountered such a tenacious and brave Ming army.

Abatai stood on a high platform more than two miles south of Jiazhuang, looking at the retreating Qing soldiers ahead, he only said lightly: "The order is to withdraw all the troops to a distance of one mile, and the whole army stands by in formation." Bar."

Standing beside him was A Dai, the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and said at this time: "This Ming army is different from the Ming army in other places. It is quite brave and brave, and it is really a big enemy."

Qing army Gushan Ezhen Engetu heard the words and said: "Didn't the Banner Master Adai be frightened by Lu Xiangsheng?"

Adai was stunned when he heard the words, and then he was about to refute with an angry face. At this moment, Abatai said: "Shut up, the general has made a decision that Lu Xiangsheng must be eliminated in this battle, and we just follow the order. You must not speak nonsense and hurt the harmony of your own family."
