Chapter 770
The wilderness was filled with gunpowder smoke, and in the valley between Luliang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain, the flags of the Qing soldiers were like clouds, and the Eight Banners soldiers and Green Battalion soldiers wearing armors of various colors spread all over the ground.

There were bursts of thunder on the Wei army's line, and the cannons spewed white smoke from time to time, flashing orange-red flames, and smashed the shells on the road ahead of the three thousand Qing troops, splashing up clusters of yellow soil.

The artillery of the Qing army dragged by the horses stopped at the wings of the infantry of the Qing army from time to time, roaring and roaring, and the artillery shells roared and smashed against the earthen wall, suppressing the artillery of the Wei army.

The copper cannons of the Qing army were completely imitated of the field copper cannons of the Wei army, but their cannon walls were thicker, and a few hoops were added to the cannon body, obviously because the smelting technology was not good enough and the casting process was immature.

Shooting projectiles of the same weight, the Qing army's cannons were much heavier, not as light as the Wei army's.

Azig is one of the four remaining princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He has fought for more than 20 years, and his level is still there.

After observing Wei Jun's defense line, he immediately chose to focus on a point to break through, and the point he chose happened to be Xiayang Fort near Sushui.

One advantage of choosing this place is that when attacking a point, the Wei army will definitely reinforce it, and the left wing of Xiayangbao is Sushui, which is conducive to the breakthrough of the Qing army.

On the hillside, under the flag of the Qing army, Azig pulled out his binoculars to observe the battlefield. With the sound of horns, three thousand Qing troops pushed more than 100 shield vehicles and approached the Wei army's defense line.

The shield car has two wheels, and in front of it is a three-inch thick and seven-foot-high wooden plank, on which a wet quilt is nailed.

Although it can't stop the shells, it is not a big problem to block the firecrackers and rockets.

One hundred shield chariots, three thousand soldiers, one thousand gunmen and archers, three hundred thunder throwers, one thousand sword and shield soldiers, and seven hundred spearmen.

Behind the Green Battalion soldiers, there are fifty Eight Banners soldiers with swords on their waists and bows and arrows. They do not participate in the attack, but supervise the battle. The bows and arrows in their hands are dedicated to shooting and killing the Green Battalion soldiers who dare to retreat.

These Eight Banners Armored Soldiers are good at archery. One person and one bow can control a very long battle line.

"Push and go! Hurry up!" Sun Maosheng yelled loudly, commanding his subordinates to push ten shield chariots forward.

According to his experience, the artillery of the Wei army often bombarded them from both sides, forming crossfire so that the shells could hit more soldiers, and the triangular area at the front of the formation would be relatively safer.

Most people think that the two sides are safe, but Sun Maosheng knows that it is easier to be bombarded there, so he urges the soldiers to move forward, and this is experience.

The green battalion soldiers pushed the shield carts forward. On both sides of Sun Maosheng, more than 100 shield carts advanced side by side, and behind the shield carts were close soldiers carrying trench bridges.

3000 troops rushed towards the Wei army, as if they were in coordination with each other, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Sun Maosheng holds a knife in his hand and has a ferocious face, but he is actually more timid than his subordinates. As a veteran of the Qing army, after fighting against the Wei army, he knows how powerful the Wei army is.

At this time, the shield car continued to move forward. Sure enough, shield cars on both sides were constantly overturned by shells. Driven by the huge inertia, the iron bullets swept across a diagonal line, knocking down a number of Qing soldiers, and finally fell to the ground. Cannonballs soaked in blood rolled far away.

Sun Maosheng's eyes looked at the Wei army's defense line in front from the gap between the shield carts. In front of the earth wall was a trench with a width of one foot.

At this time, Sun Maosheng was walking forward with his waist bent, and the flames of the guns flashed on the opposite earth wall, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose to cover the earth wall.

With a sound of "bang", a three-jin iron bullet shot out in a straight line and hit a shield car next to Sun Maosheng with lightning speed. Boards, splinters rained down.

The soldiers pushing the cart behind the shield chariot were immediately covered with splinters, and the soldiers fell down.

Sun Maosheng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly roared, "Quick, come here!"

It's not easy to be in charge. Sun Maosheng doesn't want all his subordinates to die, otherwise he will never be able to do this job. He also wants to rely on them to make some military exploits, help him raise the flag, and be the master.

The shield chariot was destroyed, and the Qing army behind was stunned. Some people turned around and ran, but were shot down by the Eight Banners who supervised the battle. The rest heard Sun Maosheng's words and hurriedly hid behind other shield chariots.

At this time, the distance was getting closer, and the artillery of the Wei army became sharper. From time to time, the shield chariot was destroyed, sawdust flew across, and the wounded soldiers rolled and wailed on the ground. The screams continued, and corpses were scattered on the road ahead. .

"Fight for this general!" Not far from Sun Maosheng, general Li Benshen drew his sword and roared angrily.

The shield chariot of the Qing army suddenly accelerated, and at this moment, the soldiers of the Wei army who were observing behind the earth wall saw the Qing army approaching, and hurriedly waved their command flags.

In the anti-cannon pit, Zhao Mingchong drew his saber, pointed forward, and shouted angrily, "Fire gunner, go!"

A burst of rapid drumming sounded, and the soldiers of the Wei army holding firecrackers immediately climbed out of the anti-cannon pit, put the poles of the guns on the earth wall, and tilted their heads to aim at the stopped Qing army shield chariot.

"Bang bang bang" a series of gunshots sounded, and the soldiers of the Wei army fired a round of gunpowder, and the earth wall was instantly filled with gunpowder smoke.

At this time, the shield chariots of the Qing army had stopped beyond Juma and the antlers, connecting the wooden walls of the city, and the soldiers of the Qing army began to shoot at the Wei army behind the earthen wall.

Between the two fronts, projectiles "swish", and the smoke filled the air.

"Thunder thrower, sword and shield soldiers are ready!" Li Ben shouted angrily.

Behind the shield chariot, more than a dozen Qing army thunder throwers ignited the thunder, and the sword and shield soldiers clenched their weapons and prepared to charge.

A trumpet sounded, and the Qing army, armed with thunder, rushed out from the gap between the shield chariots. The soldiers of the Wei army took the firecrackers handed over by their comrades, and immediately raised them to fire.

The thunder-thrower who had just rushed out fell on his back after being hit. With a loud "boom", the explosion sent the surrounding soldiers flying.

The thunder-thrower, who had escaped the bombardment of the firecrackers, rushed forward a few steps, and suddenly threw out the Thunderbolt. In the next moment, a series of explosions sounded in front of the earthen wall.

Because of the blocking of Juma and Antlers, the distance was too far, and most of the thunder fell outside the earth wall, but the dust raised by the explosion almost blocked Wei Jun's vision.

"Kill!" The Qing saber and shield fighters roared angrily, and rushed out. They lifted the antlers to resist the horse, and rushed towards the ditch.

At this moment, the gunpowder smoke dissipated, and the soldiers of the Wei army on the earthen wall lifted out a nest of fronts, and the rockets of "swoosh" rushed out. There was a gust of storm, and the Qing army that rushed out was killed and injured in a short time.

A few miles away, Azig put away the binoculars, his face was a little shocked, he waved his hand, and said angrily: "Add another 3000 people!"
