Daishan looked at Hauge's leaving figure and said, "There is a saying that you will never look back until you hit the wall. It couldn't be more appropriate to apply it to Hauge."
"Master, since you know, why don't you stop Prince Su and prevent him from hitting the south wall." Bagala's guard said in confusion.
Hearing this, Dai Shan said: "Since he doesn't look back until he hits the south wall, then he can only wait until he hits the south wall. When he knows it hurts, he will naturally know how to turn back."
The impulsiveness of young people comes from that age, and Hauge clearly understands the arrogance in his heart.
In his opinion, it would be better to experience a few more setbacks.
"The price for Prince Su to turn back is quite high. I don't know how many people under the Han banner will die." Bagala's personal guard sighed with emotion. At this time, he also understood why the Eight Banners soldiers were not assigned to Hauge in the first place.
The Jurchen Eight Banners are our own people, and the Han military flag bearing the name of the Han Eight Banners is also an outsider.
After returning, Hauge scolded Sun Degong and threatened to take his head if Sun Degong failed to capture Tangchi Fort tomorrow.
At night, the Han army flag camp wailed all night long.
The injured people had various blunderbuss or iron beads on them, which were more troublesome to clean up than arrows and caused more damage.
The Qing army did not do any better treatment for the injured. They did not even use any herbs. They just let these injured people survive on their own. After they survived, they were still members of the Qing army. If they could not survive, they were dragged out and sold into the wilderness.
After daybreak, some of the wounded did not survive and died in the wounded barracks.
"Bring Sun Degong to me!"
After breakfast, Hauge asked his personal guards to go find Sun Degong.
Not long after, Sun Degong jogged all the way to Hauge.
"Your Majesty, please find a slave."
"Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?"
"We are all ready, just waiting for your order from the prince."
"Now that you're ready, let's do it. If we can't take Tangchi Castle today, I will be the first to chop off your head."
Hauge threatened Sun Degong unceremoniously.
As a prince and future successor to the Qing throne, he looked down upon many Jurchen nobles, let alone Sun Degong, a Han general who defected from the Ming army to the Qing Dynasty.
Sun Degong retreated.
The soldiers of the Han army quickly gathered outside Tangchi Fort under his order.
Hauge did not go to the front line of the battlefield in person, but he also led his personal guards to watch the battlefield from behind, and found a team of Zhenglan Banner men to supervise the battle.
Yesterday's battle situation had already made him distrust Han Junqi.
And the Zhenglan Banner is the soldiers and horses of his own banner. As long as he does not push people to the battlefield to attack Tangchi Fort, it will not be considered a violation of the agreement with Daishan.
Under Sun Degong's arrangement, a Han army flag team numbering several hundred people began to attack Tangchi Fort.
Because they suffered a loss in front of the firearms in Tangchi Fort yesterday, in order to avoid making the same mistake this time, the attacking Han Army Banners specially prepared a lot of fire-prevention equipment.
Several cannons brought back yesterday fired in the direction of Tangchi Fort almost simultaneously.
As soon as the cannon fired, the attacking Han flag soldiers immediately began to rush towards Tangchi Fort. As for whether they would be accidentally injured by their own artillery when they got under the wall of Tangchi Fort, no one cared about it.
Because if they don't rush, the people supervising the battle behind will kill them, and they won't even have a chance to bet on whether the cannon will cause accidental damage.
boom! boom! boom!
The Qing army bombarded Tangchi Fort, and the defenders' artillery fired back unceremoniously.
The Qing army's artillery, which was originally not very advantageous, became even less advantageous after yesterday's damage. As soon as both sides fired, the Qing army's artillery was instantly suppressed.
However, some time was still bought for the Han army flag soldiers who rushed towards Tangchi Fort.
Cannons can attack enemies farther away, but firecrackers have a limited range.
In addition to firing cannons, the remaining defenders in Tangchi Fort held firecrackers or tiger cannons in their hands, waiting for the enemy to approach.
There are observers in the fort observing and calculating the enemy's distance from Tangchi Fort.
One hundred and fifty steps away from Tangchi Fort is the safest distance for the attacking Han army flag soldiers.
At this distance, apart from the use of cannons, the defenders in the fort had limited means of attack that could threaten these Han army flag soldiers.
"Everyone prepare!"
A captain guarding the fort wall ordered his soldiers.
"Fire!"
As the enemy outside the fort walls drew closer, the order to attack was suddenly given.
The crackle of gunfire echoed around the fort walls.
Although the attacking Han army flag soldiers and horses prepared some things to prevent firearms, the preparation time was too short and there were not many things prepared. After all, the firearms were of limited use against the Tangchi Fort defenders.
More than a dozen bannermen of the Han army who rushed ahead were shot and injured and fell to the ground.
Due to the relatively long distance, the accuracy of firearms in Tangchi Fort was also very limited, relying entirely on the damage caused by the large number of firecrackers.
The attacking Han flag soldiers endured casualties and stepped within fifty steps of Tangchi Fort.
"Archers shot into Tangchi Castle."
A general who led the attacking Han army flag ordered the archers who were protected behind to shoot arrows into Tangchi Fort, hoping to use the archers to suppress the fire gunners of the Tiger Flag.
Although the archer cannot guarantee an accurate hit at a distance of fifty steps, it is enough for the arrow to hit Tangchi Fort, threatening the defenders in Tangchi Fort.
It takes a long time to train a qualified archer, and only a few are gifted.
There are not many archers in the Han Army Banner, and it is impossible for Sun Degong to put all the archers in the Han Army Banner into this attack.
This time, there were only more than ten and less than twenty Han flag archers following the attack.
These archers used bows captured from the Ming army and were equipped with a large number of stabbing arrows and a small number of draped arrows.
Stinging arrows have a long range but low power, while piercing arrows are powerful but have a short range.
The distance of about fifty steps is just right for stabbing arrows, and this kind of bow is also very suitable for dealing with the Mongols.
But in the face of the tiger-shaped flag soldiers who all wear armor, the stabbing arrows fired by the Han army flag archers, unless one arrow hits a vital point, will not harm the lives of the defenders in the fort at all. No threat.
Of course, if it were replaced by arrows, it would still be enough to threaten the Tiger Flag soldiers guarding the fort at a distance of more than ten steps.
It is a pity that the archers of the Han Army Flag did not enter this shooting range.
More than a dozen arrows flew densely into Tangchi Fort, and what came back was a row of blunderbuss.
The accuracy of the fire gun also increases as the distance gets closer.
In an instant, nearly thirty more Han army flag soldiers fell.
The archers on the side of the Han army flag were also constantly drawing their bows and shooting arrows, hoping to suppress the defenders in the fort with their arrows.
