The Qing army once again moved up like a tide, and then retreated like a tide.
Eji Hemuler was very unwilling, although he had also doubted before why the rebels did not open fire even after the vanguard troops entered within one mile of Ma'anshan for so long.
Although others told him that the rebels may have run out of artillery shells.
But Eji Hemuler knew that these were just words to comfort people. Judging from the defensive structure of Ma'anshan, how could it be possible that all the artillery shells could be fired in just one bombing?
But considering the situation at that time, even believing that was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and Eji Hemuller had to swallow it. Because there is no other way but to risk your life to fill the cannon fire.
The forward troops also believe this, which makes it much easier. After all, as long as they can get close to the foot of Ma'an Mountain, the army can press up and attack.
This is a tough battle, Eji He Muller knows now. But I didn't expect the rebels to be so courageous. They even dared to close the distance with the artillery before firing.
You must know that artillery is different from muskets. A musket can fire several rounds within ten breaths, but for an artillery, it can only fire one or two rounds.
At a distance of one mile, if the cavalry charged, it would only take about ten breaths, and even if it was an infantry, it would only take about thirty breaths at most.
As far as cavalry charges are concerned, if it is just one or two rounds of artillery strikes, this mortality rate should be completely bearable. Once the cavalry charges into the anti-thief artillery position, the anti-thief artillery will be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
However, the rebels had such courage, and they indeed repelled the Qing army's attack.
"It seems that just confronting the rebels like this won't work. We have to think of other ways." Two miles away, Eji Hemuller couldn't help but think as he watched the forward's collapse finally being stopped.
Ma'anshan, as a large mountain in the plains, definitely has more than one side that can be attacked. Although the anti-bandit army built Ma'anshan as solidly as an iron barrel, as long as you search carefully, you can definitely find a suitable place for attack.
Eji Hemuler raised his clairvoyance eyes and searched quietly.
At this moment, all the Qing generals following Eji Hemuller were looking at Eji Hemuller quietly.
The defeat of the forward Green Camp had deeply shocked them. They were also afraid that they would make some noisy noises and anger Eji Hemuller, who was in a bad mood at the moment.
After half a stick of incense
Eji. He Muller was still raising his clairvoyant eyes and looking around in the direction of Ma'anshan.
Silent and calm, not even a trace of emotion showed on his face.
It was originally thought that the Qing army's ineffective attack and the defeat of the forward troops would make Eji Hemuler furious. But now it seems that Eji Hemuller is not as mediocre and simple as rumored.
Following the direction Eji Hemuler was looking, Aixinjueluo Yongqi also raised his clairvoyance and looked over.
"Master He, are you looking for a new attack point against Ma'anshan?" After watching for a while, Aixinjue Luo Yongqi seemed to feel something and asked Eji He Muller.
"Yes, fifth elder brother." Eji He Mule nodded.
"But I just took a closer look at their defense designs, and they are all very symmetrical and perfect. And their artillery movement seems to be very convenient. If this continues, and we attack Ma'anshan from a single point, the results will probably be similar. "
Hearing this, Aixinjueluo Yongqi once again raised the clairvoyance in his hand and looked towards Ma'anshan.
a moment later
"The situation is indeed similar to what Mr. He said, and I just took a look at the trench walls they built, and they seem to be very particular. And in front of their trench walls, there seems to be some barbed wire. This team For the troops who attack it, it is no less difficult than a city wall." Aixinjueluo Yongqi sighed.
"I can only say that the person who designed this defense structure is an out-and-out expert."
"Fifth Brother, now is not the time to praise the good anti-thief defense structure!" Eji He Muller said with a slightly wry smile.
"Yes, yes, that's what Lord He taught you. I was also momentarily shocked by the mountain defense structure designed by the rebels. I really didn't expect that an ordinary hill could have such a strong defense. It could design such a powerful defense. I don’t know what kind of person he is, a master of fortification. If he can be used by our Qing Dynasty, that would be great." Aixinjueluo Yongqi sighed again. There was even a hint in his eyes that he wanted to recruit the person he was talking about as an expert for the imperial court at all costs.
"Fifth Brother, although I don't know who is the person who designed this kind of defense structure, but he can design this kind of defense fortification that has never been seen before. I guess you and I both know that, but I have never seen it before. He has an inseparable connection with Zhang Rui, a traitor he has never seen before. How could such a person be used by our Qing court?" Eji He Mule replied.
"Lord He is right, I didn't think enough about it. If possible, I really want to meet that thief Zhang Rui and see what kind of person he is. I heard that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old." Remembering that Zhang Rui was about the same age as himself, Aixinjueluo Yongqi actually started to look forward to it, feeling that he cherished the hero and valued the hero.
"People say that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. To be honest, it's not just you. In fact, I also want to meet him. Only by understanding him can we understand what he is thinking and find a way to defeat him."
"However, since I went south, the information I have learned about him mainly comes from rumors, and very little real information about him has come out. Most of the rumors are not credible, and some are even ignorant. So it is really very It's difficult to analyze him." Eji He Mule actually calmly echoed Aixinjueluo Yongqi's words.
"The only thing that is certain now is that he is indeed very capable, otherwise he would not be able to create such a force by himself."
"Yes, it would be great if the imperial court could recruit such a person. As long as he is willing to return to our Qing Dynasty, I am even willing to be a guarantor to Khan Amma, to ensure that he is a man who can support his troops and respect himself like the San Francisco. The position of vassal king." Aixinjueluo Yongqi thought for a while and said seriously.
"Fifth Brother's idea is very good. It would be great if the court can recruit them. They fight with us to the death, but they just want to enjoy peace and happiness. If we can solve the problem without fighting or killing people, then why bother? Why not?" Eji He Muller echoed with a smile on his face.
