"Run quickly! Obai is here! I saw Obai..."
I don't know which blind Green Soldier suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, causing the two to three hundred Green Soldiers who were just stunned to collapse immediately. The two to three hundred people turned around and ran wildly together. While running, he shouted loudly: "Obai is here! Aobai is here to kill! Aobai and Prince Zhu are here to kill together! Aobai is going to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty..."
Alas, this Obai is already dead anyway, so he can be framed as he wants. Emperor Kangxi gave him 30 major crimes, and now he has another "crime of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", so he definitely doesn't care anymore.
Although Liu Jinzhong didn't believe that Obai was resurrected at this time, he did find the feeling he had when he faced off against the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers... It was such a familiar feeling!
This is what it feels like to lose a battle!
Liu Jinzhong was still young and a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty back then. When he met the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, he felt the same as he does now!
Unexpectedly, Prince Zhu's army also had the power of "invincible heavenly soldiers".
It's a pity... The number of Prince Zhu's troops is too small. If it reaches 10,000, he may really be able to overthrow the Qing Dynasty!
But where can Prince Zhu get 10,000 people?
When Liu Jinzhong had this treasonous idea in his mind, the unlucky Green Camp soldiers on the pontoon had already been rushed around by "Obai's Eight Banners Soldiers". Most of them were gone, and only about a hundred people were left. A, ran back while crying.
But Zhu Hesheng’s impact ends here!
Because Liu Jinzhong had been prepared for a long time, just before the 300 men he sent launched the first wave of attack, he had already organized the Green Camp soldiers, Minzhuang, and Tuanding who had been in chaos outside Jieyang City.
Moreover, the green battalion soldiers stationed in the city also obeyed his order and sent out 800 people for reinforcements. With this level of prohibition, it can be seen that Liu Jinzhong's green battalion soldiers are still very effective in combat.
After receiving the support of 800 green battalion soldiers from the city, Liu Jinzhong's green battalion soldiers, minzhuang, and regiment soldiers numbered less than 2,000. They set up three infantry squares and one cavalry formation to block the south entrance of Beixi Bridge. A strict and solid decision.
While the Green Battalion soldiers on the pontoon were being beaten and bombed, Liu Jinzhong mobilized 300 Green Battalion soldiers with bows and arrows to spread out in front of the formation. After the pursuing "Eight Banners Soldiers" entered the shooting range, they threw a wave of arrows at the pontoon bridge.
Most of the "Eight Banners Soldiers" under Zhu Hesheng were lightly equipped - yellow mandarin jackets and blue and black mandarin jackets were easy to get, but cloth armor or cotton armor with yellow flags were not.
Therefore, Zhu Hesheng could only buy dozens of chain armors and put them on one of the "Eight Banners Soldiers". However, the defensive ability of chain armor is not as good as cloth-covered iron armor, and it cannot withstand the arrows of Qing soldiers.
Therefore, Zhu Hesheng had no choice but to give up the pursuit, and with his dozens of cavalry, he turned around and retreated. He retreated beyond the effective range of the Qing army's bows and arrows and stopped retreating - still on the pontoon bridge, about 30 meters away from the south end of the pontoon bridge. There are sixty or seventy steps.
At the same time, Zhu Hesheng ordered Su Zhanshan, who was in charge of commanding the "machine gun", to lead people to carry the two "machine guns" forward twenty or thirty steps, so that Liu Jinzhong could be placed in Beixi. The green battalion soldiers on the south bank - although the range of these light cannons is not far, it is not comparable to that of bows and arrows!
Moreover, they are very light and very easy to move. A dozen people can carry them everywhere. The difficulty and cost of manufacturing are not high, and it doesn't hurt even if it is lost on the battlefield. It can even be temporarily built on the battlefield.
This lightweight "Zhuge Machine Cannon" coupled with the "Zhuge Divine Thunder" can trigger a military revolution!
Liu Jinzhong was not blind. Of course he could see someone moving forward with the "Zhuge Machine Cannon"!
However, the Chao Zhen commander-in-chief really had a moment. When he saw the "Zhuge Machine Cannon" approaching him, he immediately led his three infantry squares and cavalry groups to retreat twenty or thirty steps. At the same time, he strictly ordered the three hundred The scattered archers stood still.
In this way, these three hundred scattered archers can block the bridge deck with arrowheads and prevent "Obai"'s "Zhuge Machine Cannon" from continuing to move forward... Because the archers are spread out relatively widely, it is also Not very afraid of being bombarded by thunder. Oh, Liu Jinzhong is not afraid of them being bombed, but these archers themselves are a little afraid!
Not only are they likely to be killed by thunder, they may also be trampled to death by the "Eight Banners Cavalry"... But if they dare to escape from the battle, they will definitely be hacked to death by the supervising team sent by Liu Jinzhong!
Zhu Hesheng saw Liu Jinzhong's arrangement and did not dare to attack rashly. After all, he only has 300 "Eight Banners Soldiers" under his command, while Liu Jinzhong has more than 2,000 soldiers, which means he can defeat seven or eight soldiers with one man!
However, Zhu Hesheng, who was in high spirits and had found some sense of being a famous general, was not willing to give up - even though this surprise attack was already a great victory so far.
Even if Zhu Hesheng sets fire to the pontoon bridge and waits for the big boss Hui Bing to arrive, he will still be able to complete the task very successfully.
But Zhu Hesheng still wanted to try out a new tactic he had just thought of, so he turned back to Lin Ahu, who was about to float with excitement: "Huhu Lin, I just saw a few shields in the Qingyao camp. Che, do you think you can bring a few people to pull the shield truck over? We can use the shield truck to cover the bombing!"
Zhu Hesheng felt that he was too capable to think of such a powerful tactic.
From now on, shield carts, pikemen, and musketeers will be used to cover the attack of hammer throwers and "machine artillery", followed by a group of pony cavalry to hold down the formation.
As long as the shield carriages, pikemen, and musketeers can escort the hammer throwers and "machine guns" to the position, there is no fear that the Qing Yao's infantry formation will not be dispersed by the explosion, and if the Qing Yao's infantry formation is dispersed... The cavalry can launch a short assault.
With this style of play, it’s hard to lose!
...
While Zhu Hesheng was happily dreaming about being invincible in the future, Liu Jinzhong was also waiting for the killer weapon specially designed to defeat the "Zhuge Machine Cannon" - the red cannon!
Didn't Mi Sihan send Liu Jinzhong four red cannons?
One of them was captured by Zhu Hesheng, and he is now hammering the Beiguan Gate Tower in Jieyang County! Although the cannon fired successfully, there was only one cannon after all. If you wanted to smash the Beiguan Tower in Jieyang, you would have to blast it for most of the day!
The remaining three red cannons are now in the hands of the Qing soldiers. One of them was set up on the artillery fort on the south bank of the Beixi River to bombard the artillery fort on the other side that was occupied by the "Eight Banners rebels". However, they failed to hit it for a long time - the artillery fort was short and small, and it was impossible to hit it with direct aim. .
And it was useless to hit it, because the artillery fort was not made of rammed earth wrapped with bricks, but made of earth. This thing won't collapse at all, and the soil is so thick that it can't be penetrated. Only if the cannonball directly hits the opponent's artillery can it be effectively destroyed... How can this red cannon be so accurate?
The other two red cannons were originally placed on the forts at both ends of Nanxi Bridge in the south of Jieyang County.
However, Liu Jinzhong had previously issued an order to transfer these two cannons to the north of the city to assist in the battle. Just when Lin Ahu led a group of people to pull three shield carts to Beixi Bridge, two red cannons transferred from Nanxi Bridge were also put on two carts and dragged out of Jieyang Beiguan The city gate was pulled up to Liu Jinzhong.
"Ah Er!"
"Father!"
When Liu Jinzhong saw the cannon arriving, he immediately called one of his own soldiers, Liu Erhu, the son of the general manager and general manager, and ordered: "Take my command flag and take these two cannons to the artillery base together..." .You have all three cannons under your control!"
"嗻!" Liu Erhu was of course happy to be favored by his godfather. He quickly responded with a "嗻", and then asked, "Godfather, where do you want the child to shoot those three cannons?"
Liu Jinzhong pointed at the pontoon bridge and said, "Fire at the pontoon bridge... give me a hard beating!"
"嗻!"
