The sky has not yet fully dawned, and Miyun County has already fallen into a tense atmosphere.

Wu Zongrui still stayed in the county, but the difference was that there were no ordinary people in the county.

Zhang Fengyi and Lu Xiangsheng also insisted on staying in the county. Although Wu Zongrui repeatedly persuaded them to leave the county and go to the Chinese military tent in the south, they did not agree, and Lu Xiangsheng repeatedly requested that they must personally participate in the battle.

The main task of the five thousand Huguang Town sergeants under Lu Xiangsheng was to guard the more than three thousand captured Houjin Tatars, and they would not directly participate in the battle. Wu Zongrui was really worried about their combat effectiveness.

Wu Zongrui finally agreed to Lu Xiangsheng's request and let Lu Xiangsheng fight with Liu Ning.

This was a head-to-head battle. Azige tried his best, and Wu Zongrui also tried his best.

Denglai's new army has a considerable advantage in artillery, but Azig and Abatai must be on guard, so the advantage of artillery is not enough to determine the direction of the battle.

In Wu Zongrui's view, it was the fierce battle between the cavalry on both sides that determined the direction of the battle.

The fog was so thick that it was almost solid.

This kind of foggy weather is very common in the north in late autumn, and is even taken advantage of by the fighting armies.

Heavy fog is not particularly beneficial to the Denglai New Army, especially the artillery, which will be affected to a certain extent.

...

The dark Han army, shouting loudly amidst the rumbling drums, charged towards Miyun County.

Zhang Fengyi on the city wall looked extremely ugly. After the end of June, Jin Tatar entered the pass. Until mid-August, more than 20,000 Ming army sergeants of Jin Tatar's army surrendered.

The Tatars even made the emperor and the court lose face, and also made him, the Minister of War, extremely ashamed.

Not far behind the Han army were the Houjin Tatars, who were eyeing them eagerly.

This kind of siege formation is so rare. It can be said that the Han army was escorted by Houjin Tatars to attack Miyun County.

Wu Zongrui, holding a monocular telescope, had a sneer on his face.

The purpose of Azig and Abatai is very clear, which is to use the Han army as cannon fodder to withstand the artillery attack of the Denglai New Army. When the artillery battalion of the Denglai New Army stopped attacking, the Eight Banners led by Azig and Abatai

The army will launch a general offensive.

As for the surrendered Han army, not a single one was left dead, and Azig and Abatai didn't care.

The Han army was used to consume the power of Denglai's new army, and the Eight Banners Army, which was recharging its strength, finally launched an attack. At least in terms of momentum, it had a great advantage.

It's a pity that Azig was a little out of his mind and forgot that the artillery of the Denglai New Army used explosive bullets, not solid bullets.

The biggest difference between blooming bullets and solid bullets is the change in the direction of attack.

After the solid bullet is fired, it mainly relies on the speed of the shell to hit the attacking team, forming shocking blood grooves. On the one hand, it eliminates the opponent's effective strength, and on the other hand, it creates a huge deterrent, which affects the opponent's morale and the direction of their attack.

Mainly from the front, the explosive shells are different. They explode when they hit the ground and can be attacked from any direction.

Azig and Abatai may have thought that by letting the Han army charge in front and withstand the artillery attack, they would use the flesh and blood of the Han army to pave a way for the Eight Banners Army to attack.

Artillery cannot fire endlessly. Once the barrel becomes hot, it must stop firing.

"Command the artillery battalion to calibrate the position and launch accurately..."

Liao Wenru coldly issued the order for the artillery attack.

Although the distance is slightly farther, the power of the artillery shells after being fired is the same, but the requirements for the sergeants who control the artillery are higher. The artillery shells of the Denglai New Army Artillery Battalion still have to be used against the Houjin Tatars.

"Loading shells..."

"ignition..."

"emission..."

The cannonballs flying out of the barrel roared and headed forward.

The faces of Teixeira, Henry and others were all red, which was a sign of exerting their strength. In this battle, Wu Zongrui and Liao Wenru had very high requirements for artillery control, which made Teixeira, Henry and others very unconvinced.

, in fact, their daily training requirements for artillerymen are much higher than today's intensity, but Teixeira and Henry also understand that actual combat and training are definitely different.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A small number of artillery shells exploded in the charging Han army formation.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and there were screams.

The charging Han army was instantly in chaos.

Azig and Abatai in the distance had smiles on their faces. In their eyes, the Han army sergeants were just ants, and it didn't matter if they died.

When a whistling sound sounded in the sky, Azig's expression suddenly changed, and he thought of something.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The artillery shell suddenly exploded in the middle of the formation of the Eight Banners Army soldiers.

The same flesh and blood flying everywhere, the same screams.

The war horse was caught off guard and was frightened. If the sergeant hadn't held on to the reins tightly, it would have been running around.

...

On the city wall, more than a thousand soldiers of the Denglai New Army began to shout loudly.

"Brothers who are attacking the city, the imperial court has issued an order to stop the siege. I forgive your guilt..."

"The Tatars of Houjin don't treat you as human beings and let you die..."

"After turning around and attacking, the Jin Tatars can make meritorious deeds..."

Zhang Fengyi thought several times about going to the battlements and shouting in person, but was blocked by the guards around Wu Zongrui.

Some of the Han army sergeants who were about to charge to the city wall had not been attacked except by a few shells. In fact, they also understood that after surrendering, the Jin Tatars would always be inferior.

The shouts from the city wall made them stunned. The sergeants charging at the front stopped, and the sergeants behind rushed up, and they soon huddled together.

Finally, a man who looked like an officer in the army waved his right hand.

"Brothers, if you rebel, kill the Jin Tatars and go..."

The Han soldier at the front turned around without much hesitation.

"If you rebel, kill the Queen and go to the Jin Tatars..."

"If you rebel, kill the Queen and go to the Jin Tatars..."

A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami appeared, and more than 20,000 Han troops turned around at the fastest speed and charged towards the Houjin Tatars not far away...

Azig and Abate's expressions had changed dramatically. They had thought of everything and planned everything, but they missed the most critical link. They never expected that the Han army would defect on the battlefield.

The Ming army's artillery was accurate and fierce. It exploded in the ranks, catching Azig and Abatai off guard. Fortunately, the ranks were widely dispersed. The casualties caused by the artillery were not great, but they only had a certain impact on the morale of the troops.

Seeing the swarming Han troops who had turned their backs and attacked, the livid-faced Azig gave the order.

"Kill them all..."

Arrows and crossbows roared, flying towards the rushing Han army sergeants.

The Han Army sergeants who were charging forward fell down one after another like chopped leeks. The Han Army sergeants behind them tried to escape, but were pushed by the charging sergeants from behind. They could not retreat at all and could only charge forward.

At this moment, they are isolated and helpless, because they have surrendered to the Houjin Tatars and are no longer the imperial army. Because they turned against the Houjin Tatars during the siege, they have become the opponents of the Houjin Tatars. Unless the Ming army in the city launches a charge,

Otherwise they might really be killed.

Zhang Fengyi, who was on the city wall, looked at what was happening in the distance, his face turned pale, and he prepared to speak to Wu Zongrui beside him several times, but after seeing Wu Zongrui's indifferent expression, he swallowed his words again.

It's not that Wu Zongrui didn't want to save these rebellious Han army sergeants, but he couldn't launch an attack at this time. The Denglai New Army's cavalry only had 30,000 people. Including the sergeants who were temporarily incorporated into the cavalry battalion yesterday, the total was about 40,000 people. But

There are still nearly 90,000 Houjin Tatars, all of them cavalry, with strong combat effectiveness. If they launch an attack forcefully, Denglai's new army will surely suffer heavy casualties.

"Order the artillery battalion to shoot out all the artillery shells..."

The bloody scene ahead made Wu Zongrui couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't watch all the Han troops being killed by Hou Jin's Tatars. He originally thought that the rebellious Han army could work together to fight with Hou Jin's Tatars.

At the same time, who knew that these Han troops were really incapable of fighting and could not attack them at all. They were massacred row by row by the Houjin Tatars.

...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In the sky, the cannonballs roared past, bringing out strings of sparks, which were particularly dazzling.

The artillery shells exploded in the ranks of the Eight Banners Army. Although the sergeants dispersed widely, there were too many shells and they exploded when they hit the ground. The sergeants who were hit by the shells had no chance to escape. Many sergeants were lifted into the air by the airflow of the explosion.

, after landing, he was motionless, and all the blood came out of his mouth, eyes and nose.

The sergeants who attacked the rebel Han army were obviously affected, and the attack slowed down.

It was at this moment that the Han army sergeants rushed over with shouts and fought with the Houjin Tatars.

These Han Army sergeants had gone crazy. After they rushed up, even facing the corpse of the Eight Banners Army sergeant who had fallen to the ground, they slashed at them with their swords.

...

Azig's eyes were red, and so were Abatai's.

They worked hard to deploy and launched an attack with all their strength. The Ming army was unscathed, but the formation of the Eight Banners Army was somewhat unstable. The rebellion of the Han army caused all the deployments of Azig and Abatai to be destroyed.

It's messy.

If the rebellious Han army cannot be completely suppressed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Azig issued the order, and Abatai also issued the order.

Unfortunately, the execution of their orders was still greatly compromised. The Eight Banners sergeants under their command were unable to evade the roaring shells. The rumble of the cannons and the sound of explosions frightened the war horses and made it difficult to control them.

Facing the red-eyed Han Army sergeants, the Eight Banners Army sergeants also felt scared. No matter how tough you are, facing an opponent who is not afraid of death, the only way is to be ruthless and kill them all.

The Eight Banners Army sergeants in front were already fighting with the rebellious Han army. The Eight Banners Army sergeants behind them could not shoot the bows and arrows in their hands, and they had to guard against the cannonballs flying in the sky. They had a huge advantage before.
