Chapter 424 Official Opening
Twenty bronze cannons fired three rounds of cannons, and the entire mountain was filled with white smoke.

The Qing army looked up at it, and the figure was looming, and it felt like thunder from heavenly soldiers.

After the shelling, gaps appeared in the dense Qing army formation, like the ground plowed by oxen. The ground was full of stumps and broken bodies, as well as soldiers who fell to the ground and howled.

"Ah! Ah!!" The screams, one after another, made Man Dahai finally unable to calm down.

If Gao Yihuan was allowed to continue bombarding without barbarians charging, the formation would collapse.

A grandson is a grandson, and Mandahai belongs to the bird, which can be hard or soft, bendable and stretchable.

Now he understood the reason why Gao Yihuan ambushed him but put on a defensive formation.

Gao Manzi relied on artillery to bombard him from a long distance, forcing him to take the initiative to attack.

At this moment, Man Dahai finally understood why Prince Yu was taking advantage of Gao Manzi's hands. This guy is really a cunning old man, too cunning and insidious.

At this time, Man Dahai had put away his contempt, and even regretted that when he found Gao Manzi, he did not evacuate decisively.

Now the distance between the two armies is too close, and Gao Manzi still has [-] horse troops, retreating is tantamount to collapse.

Seeing that the formation was torn apart by shells, it was impossible for him to continue to be beaten passively, so he gave an order without discussing with anyone.

The generals of the Qing army were also aware that the situation was not optimistic, and they didn't mention what happened just now, they could all see that they couldn't continue to stand and be beaten.

Man Dahai looked at Ye Chen and gritted his teeth, "You lead an army of [-] infantry and destroy the barbarian artillery formation. I'll let the Ma Jun hold your ground."

"Cha!" Ye Chen saluted, accepted the order solemnly, and hurried to dispatch troops.

All of a sudden, the horn sounded suddenly in the Qing army formation, and Ye Chen pulled his horse and walked to the west of the circle. After some mobilization, the Qing army's circle seemed to be cut off. Slowly leave the formation.

At the same time, a 3000-strong Mongolian Eight Banners Army immediately divided into two groups, galloped out to guard the two wings of the infantry, and held the formation for Ye Chen.

Man Dahai stared at the battlefield with a serious expression, but the screams around him were endless, which made him extremely irritable, and the soldiers of the Qing army also showed timid expressions under the shelling.

They can't help but not be afraid, even if it is a man like an iron tower, if a cannon hits it, his head will be opened instantly, red and white will flow all over the ground, how can it not make people terrified.

Fighting head-on, there is still a chance to kill the enemy. Standing now is like drawing lots and waiting for the lightning strike. No one knows whether the next shot will hit him, so the standing Qing army panicked. When they heard the roar of the shells, He couldn't help but move his body while praying in his heart, "Smash the grandson next to you, don't hit me."

Suddenly Man Dahai got off his horse and walked to the side of a screaming Qing soldier not far away, and suddenly drew his waist knife, a white light flashed, and the screaming stopped abruptly.

Many Qing soldiers saw a cloud of blood rising up, and Man Dahai, whose face was covered with blood, raised a head high, then stared fiercely at several other wounded nearby, and said fiercely: "If you disturb the morale of the army, kill them!" It's you!"

Seeing this scene, several bloody Qing soldiers turned pale, bit the back of their hands with their teeth, and shook their heads in horror.

Seeing this, Man Dahai threw his head away and turned his attention to the battlefield again.

The Qing army around them was as silent as cicadas, even if it was hit by artillery, they did not dare to dodge. The soldiers were worried that Man Dahai would kill them to vent their anger.

After eating a cannonball, it hurts so much that I won't let you scream, it's really cruel.

At this time, under the banner of Wei Wujun's banner, Gao Yihuan saw the Qing infantry marching towards the artillery formation, his eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand and ordered, "Let Bai Wenxuan protect the artillery formation."

When the artillery team occupied the foot of the hill, Gao Yi arranged a battalion and two soldiers, a total of more than [-] elite soldiers to protect the artillery team.

"Marshal, the Tartars have moved, shall we move?" Zhao Daxian asked.

Gao Yihuan saw the clear formation, but shook his head, "Don't worry, the cannons will continue to bombard. When they are blocked from attacking the artillery formation, there will be more troops in the sea, and we will move again at that time!"

At this time, under the artillery formation, the soldiers of Wei Wujun had already formed their formation. The soldiers set up horse rejection posts in front of the formation, the firearms team stood behind the obstacles, and the killer team stood behind the firearms team.

The firearms team of Wei Wujun has 12 people and three teams for each flag. They use the flag as a unit to form a small square array of three rows, and then line up along the obstacle line.

There was a gap between each firearms flag team, and behind the gap stood the killer team with cold soldiers, also lined up.

The firearms team and the killer team in front are arranged in a staggered manner, so that when the enemy rushes up for close combat, the firearms team can retreat calmly, while the killer team can rush out from the gap and meet the enemy soldiers hand-to-hand.

A platoon of firearms and a platoon of killers formed the first horizontal line of defense at the foot of the hillside, and 150 steps behind them, there was another line of defense across the half-slope.

These two lines of defense each have 2000 men, and Bai Wenxuan leads 1000 men to garrison the artillery array, which becomes the last line of defense and makes the final round.

At this time, the cold wind was howling, and the three thousand Mongolian horse troops were divided into two groups. First, the speed was increased, and the horseshoes stepped across the frozen Rushui, and stopped [-] steps away from the Wei army's line. Five thousand pawns are crossing Rushui.

After Ye Chen led [-] Qing troops across the river, he took a look at Wei Wujun's defense, and immediately made a decision. He ordered the musketeers to stick up and bombard them for a round, disrupting the Wei army's formation, and then the army swarmed up, tearing apart the Wei army's defenses. line of defense.

After crossing Rushui, the Qing army began to reorganize briefly.

At this time, there were four cannons on the cannon array on the top of the hill. They stopped shelling and were dragged by the horses again. They were pulled out of the digging pits respectively and moved towards the two wings of Wei Wujun's line, with two cannons on each side.

Ye Chen stood behind the formation on horseback. Seeing that his infantry had regrouped, he looked at the defense line on the hill with a solemn expression, drew his sword, and shouted, "Crush them!"

The gunmen of the Qing army in the front row are led by the rebel general Zu Kefa. He is the adopted son of Zu Dashou. He is very capable and highly appreciated by the Qing court.

When Ye Chen gave an order, Zu Kefa's heart beat faster, and with a wave of his hand, the Qing army gunners in front stepped forward.

The Qing army, armed with cold soldiers, followed behind the blunderbuss, advancing slowly, and pressed against the Wei army's line.

For a moment, Wei Wujun's first line and the Qing army's front line were like two parallel lines approaching, and they were like the coast and the incoming waves.

The gunner of the Qing army holding the gun saw Wei Wujun standing in battle in the distance, his hands holding the gun couldn't help sweating slightly, his mouth was dry, and his hands and feet were trembling a little.

Fortunately, the Qing soldiers looked left and right, and they were all their own robes. They lined up and advanced in a dense formation, which gave them a sense of security.

At this moment, there were several loud noises on both sides of Wei Wujun's line, and a cloud of white smoke rose.

As soon as a soldier glanced to the side, he saw his comrades exploded and were torn to pieces by shells~

"Damn it, I'm terrified to death~" The soldiers of the Qing army were so frightened that they almost collapsed on the ground, their faces turned pale in an instant~
