A smile flashed across Chen Zheng's face as he saw that there were not many shield vehicles that were still pushing forward tenaciously under the bombardment of artillery fire.

Today, the Tartar soldiers went off in person, and they were still the Yellow Banner Tartars who belonged to the slave chief Huang Taiji's personal guard. This made Chen Zheng very satisfied, and it also proved that his strength was worthy of being taken seriously by the Tartars, and he would not use rotten fish and shrimp Come on yourself.

But after all, Xianghuangqi was the royal army directly led by the slave chieftain Huang Taiji, and its combat power should not be underestimated. Chen Zheng also dealt with it cautiously.

He strictly ordered not to shoot cannons without authorization, but let the tartars advance without hindrance, so that they would despise him, and then shot at close range with firecrackers to prevent the tartars from passing through the second ditch.

It was not until the Tartar shield chariots were sparsely pushed through the second ditch that the artillery of all sizes was ordered to level their muzzles and destroy the Tartar shield chariots with level shots. Not much left.

However, at this time, the Tartars with the yellow flag were only 50 steps away from the low wall. Whether they had a shield car or not was of little significance to them.

Hearing the sound of war drums at the foot of Changling Mountain, Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty Duoduo was already a little anxious, apparently urging the Tazi soldiers to step up their attack on the Ming army's position in Changling Mountain.

At this time, the military discipline of the Qing army was very strict. Once the order for a full-scale attack was issued, everyone on the front line had to have no hesitation.

The big drums of the Chinese Army were beating, and the drums were beating faster and faster. Under the urgent urging of the drums, those Tartar soldiers with yellow flags who were not injured by the flying cannons also hurriedly urged the surviving coated slaves. , Lifting the two-foot-long large plank rushed to the third trench.

The shelling just now made the coated slaves terrified, and at this moment, they were urged to lay the last trench ahead, which was closer to the Ming army behind the low wall, which meant that the danger of death was also greater.

However, the Tartar soldiers didn't care about their lives and killed dozens of timid slaves on the spot, and only then did they shock the rest.

There is a great possibility that you will die if you rush to lay the trench, but if you don't, you will die immediately. To choose between possible death and immediate death, as long as you are not a fool, I believe you will choose the former without hesitation.

The coated slaves are just a group of vulnerable groups enslaved by the Tartars, they are not fools!
I saw them let out a roar, and rushed to the last ditch as if they were dying. Even if the guards behind the low wall on the opposite side fired waves of bullets, they couldn't stop the crazy slaves.

Tian Mingyu looked at the big planks being erected and laid in front of the third ditch, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Damn, are these people crazy? They don't even know how to avoid firecrackers. The last ditch That's how it's laid out!"

Chen Zheng watched all this calmly from the side, but he was not as anxious as Tian Mingyu. The trenches could only delay the attack of the Tartars, but could not completely stop the attack of the Tartars.

Otherwise, why do you need the low wall behind and the soldiers of the nearly Wanxuan government army?
Drink the northwest wind and watch the excitement?
This is not the style of the Xuanfu army!

Tian Mingyu asked anxiously beside him: "My general, why don't we bombard his mother again with the 'ten thousand enemies'? The tartars are paved with wooden boards, and one bombing will definitely kill him!"

"It's not right. The grenadiers in the car camp can't throw that far away at a distance of twenty steps."

Chen Zheng rejected Tian Mingyu's proposal without thinking.

He turned around and looked at his subordinates, and said calmly, "There's no rush, these coats are not a pity to die, but our real enemy today is the Tartars behind them who are waiting to charge."

Chen Zheng then said to him in an orderly tone: "Quickly go to the front of the battle to command, and make a note for me. When the tartars rush up to the laid wooden planks, the gunmen will open fire again."

He continued: "There are also Tartars rushing through the ditch, within twenty steps, the gunmen stopped shooting and threw big stones instead."

"Here!"

Tian Mingyu received the order loudly, turned around and ran towards the front ditch.

After he left, Chen Zheng ordered the messengers to inform Du Chungang, the commander of the chariot battalion, that if he wanted to command the grenadiers, he must wait for the Tartars to rush within ten steps of the trench wall before throwing tens of thousands of enemies, so as to avoid throwing Not far enough to effectively kill the Tartars.

Chen Zheng even warned: "Remember to tell Du Chungang that we are the enemy of ten thousand people, but if we use one, we will lose one, and ask him to give me more precision. Don't dare to waste it!"

…………

In the binoculars, Chen Zheng, the head of the Dushibu Battalion of the Xuanfu Army, could see clearly that the Manchurian Tartar soldiers with yellow flags were urging forward like a tide under the urging of war drums.

He understands that this wave of fighting is destined to be more intense and cruel!

Chen Zheng's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in his heart: "These Tartars don't give up, so let them come here."

He believed that with such a solid line of defense, no matter how fierce and brave the Tartars were, they would shed blood and wring out their flesh and blood.

Chen Zheng put down the binoculars, looked at the invisible Tartar army attacking the mountain, and said silently: "Hmph. Today's Changling Mountain is not the Jiazhuang of Julu in the past."

Thinking of the battle at Jiazhuang back then, Chen Zheng felt as if a boulder was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't help shouting:
"Come on... fight!
Let me hit my head and bleed, so I can know what it means to be as solid as a rock! "

I saw that from the front of the low wall to the foot of Dan, there was a turbulent flow of Tazi soldiers, covering all the slopes on the north and south sides of the east of Changling Mountain.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

At the moment when the Tazi soldiers rushed from the front row and stepped on the wooden plank, the clear and sharp swan-sounding horn sounded, and the Xuanfu gunmen behind the low wall fired the first round of salvo.

Amidst the flames, a cloud of smoke billowed upwards, and the Tartar soldiers rushing forward, even though they held shields to protect their vitals, fell to the ground and struggled endlessly.

But after all, the Tartars have a large number of people, not to mention Duoduo is determined to win, but today he has spent a lot of money, so how could he be repelled so easily.

Although the front row fell down, the rear row quickly replenished, and they rushed across the wooden bridge on the last ditch in an instant. They rushed up against the guns of the Ming army guarding the mountain.

One thing that is strange today is that the Ming army only fired two rounds of artillery after the shield car passed the first trench, and there was no movement after that.

Even Duoduo, Prince of Qingyu who was watching the battle with a binoculars at the foot of the mountain behind, couldn't understand what this meant?
But eager to attack the mountain, he still ordered the drums of the Chinese army to beat hard, and the warriors with the yellow flag fought forward with all their strength, and captured the mountain here as soon as possible.

…………

"All give up the firecrackers, roll stones and roll logs, let's go!"

On the front line of defense of the Xuanfu Army in Changling Mountain, Tian Mingyu, Qian Zongzong, on the left side of the Dushibu Battalion, shouted loudly.

It turned out that he commanded the gunmen to fire two rounds of volleys one after another, but his left side only had 450 six-shot guns. Even the Yunzhou Type [-] guns, which are extremely convenient to load and shoot, can be used in such a short period of time. It is also commendable to shoot two rounds of salvo.

This is also thanks to the hard work of the Xuanfu army on weekdays. If it were another Ming army, I am afraid that even a round of volleys would be twisted!
Although these two rounds of volleys also killed hundreds of Tartar soldiers, it was impossible to stop the Tartars from rushing forward, after all, there were too many of them.

Tian Mingyu ordered the gunners to quickly discard the guns, condescending, and threw the big stones and logs prepared in advance, and at the same time shouted at the four cold soldiers of the two divisions of the Ministry: "Return to your position quickly!" , Leng Bing killer is ready. I listen to Lao Tzu's military order. When we charge up, you have to keep up.

Let's remember it, the one who ran away will be dealt with by military law! "

Almost at the same time, thousands of big rocks with sharp corners and thick logs rolled down the ramp.

The slope in this section descends slowly and ascends steeply, and after the first trench, a longitudinal trench was added to divide the attacking Tartars into teams, making it difficult for each other to support each other, while the defenders were even more difficult. Easy to defend against.

Nowadays, these rocks and wooden stakes can still be used when defending the city, but they cannot be used for defense on the flat ground in the wild.

But it is different now, because of the influence of the mountain, the slope is much steeper than the section at the foot of the mountain. The defenders almost don't need to throw it vigorously, they just need to lift the big stones and logs over the low wall. Height, just push down along the wall slope.

These big stone logs will naturally continue to accelerate and dive down.

In fact, at a distance of more than ten steps, the attacking Tartar soldiers could connect with each other and intercept the rolling boulders and logs. However, there were too many boulders and logs rolling down, and it was impossible to stop them at all.

All of a sudden, the Tazi soldiers who charged were in a mess again, but they were soldiers who had fought old battles after all, they were only startled at first, and then they found a way to deal with it.

With three or five people in front, they inserted the large shields in their hands deeply into the ground, and the rest of them hid behind them and pressed against their backs tightly, thus forming a solid small shield array.

Although their method is indeed effective, it also requires the cooperation of everyone to form a joint force and resist the rolling stones and logs. There are a few shield formations that were hit by the rolling boulders and logs just because of a slight negligence. In chaos, the Tartar soldiers mixed with the stones and continued to roll down.

There were also many Tazi soldiers who hadn't reacted in time, were hit in the legs, feet or waists, and were also rushed down the hillside.

After a while, the drums of the Chinese army sounded, and the Xuanfu Army gunmen guarding the mountain stopped throwing stones and other objects. They picked up the Yunzhou Type [-] guns around them one after another, and ran back into the second stone wall thirty steps away. .

And a group of cold soldiers holding shields and knives, or holding a spear, took the place of the gunmen just now, ready to rush out to fight the bloody battle with the Tartars.

Then I saw gunmen rushing behind the second low wall, and a group of broad-shouldered men ran out of it. They only wore red Ming military uniforms, but none of them wore armor.

What's even more strange is that they were not equipped with any weapons, but they each carried a heavy and strong frame in their hands, and a thick cowhide belt around their waists was stuck with all kinds of fire pockets. As many as five or six.

This is the unique grenadier of the Daming Xuanfu Military Chariot Battalion!

As a special unit of the Xuanfu army, it rarely showed up even within it. The last time Zhang Cheng led the army to help suppress the bandits in Henan, the grenadiers under his command did not go out with the army, but stayed in Xuanbei to continue training.

Grenadiers, as the name suggests, are arms that are specially responsible for throwing "enemies of ten thousand people".

For them, skills such as cavalry, gunfire, and foot combat are not required, but only physical strength is required, and they can throw the cumbersome enemy far away.

This is like the modern sports event "shot put", which only requires you to be able to push it far away, of course, the farther the better.

Today, it is the first time they have appeared in actual combat on the Changling Mountain position. Yesterday's performance was very gratifying. They hid behind the shield formation and threw ten thousand enemies into the trenches, becoming a complete attack. The last straw to get rid of the Tartars.

Unsurprisingly, today they were sent out again as the grand finale, but today they were in the front, while the shield soldiers and spearmen were going to be behind.

But at this moment, Chief Chief Qiu Lin of the Left Armor Division of Dushibu Battalion never took his eyes off Chief Qian Tian Mingyu, for fear that if he was not paying attention, he would miss the military order to attack.

At this time, I heard a "pop", and saw a yellow smoke signal flare rising from the high platform of the Chinese Army.

On the left side of the carriage, King Dali, the Hundred Commander of the Grenadiers, shouted loudly, "Throw!"

He quickly pulled out a torch from his waist, and first shook it in the air. At the same time, he opened his left hand and directly grabbed a head-sized Enemy.

Wang Dali's movements were very skillful, I saw him put the shaken fire bag to his mouth and blow it, Wandi with his left hand came over almost at the same time, the flame that had just risen just happened to ignite the fuse of Wandi.

Looking at the other grenadiers, it is roughly the same, and their movements are very similar to throwing shot puts. After the tens of thousands of enemies ignite, they turn the fuse to the back.

Then, one by one, the grenadiers twisted their bodies and bowed their waists, gathering all their strength to their arms, and with a sudden round, they threw the heavy enemy far away.

Thousands of enemies thrown away like raindrops, braved the sparks of "呵呵", and once again harvested the fresh lives of the Tartar soldiers.

All this is so ruthless, thousands of people die every day, I don't know when this chaotic world will be completely ended, and the peace and stability in the world will be restored!
"Lie down, all down!"

The Grenadier Hundred Commander Wang Dali did not forget to remind everyone to lie down loudly while throwing out ten thousand enemies. However, he always felt that the word master Zhang Cheng handed him was too awkward.

Far from the word "getting down", it came happily, as if shouting these two words is enough to hearty!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The explosion sound of Ten Thousand Enemies kept coming, as if the earth was trembling along with it, and the explosion made the Tartar soldiers howl like ghosts and howls.

Many Tartars even thought that victory was in sight, but they just climbed up the wide low wall when they saw deadly fire bombs flying one after another, and they were immediately stunned on the spot.

Of course, there were also those who reacted quickly. Those Tartars who had already climbed the low wall ran desperately towards the Xuanfu army, while those behind quickly jumped into the very wide ditch. .

Although they have a keen sense of the battlefield and react quickly, they can avoid the bombing of tens of thousands of enemies, but they cannot escape the fate of death!
