After receiving the order, the cavalry and artillery battalion immediately pulled up the artillery and shells, and under the cover of gunpowder, he circled from the east side and penetrated directly into the eastern rear formation of the Qing army.

At this time, the breeze blew gently, and the smoke from the battlefield was rolled up and brought to an unknown place. The scene on the battlefield was like a girl pulling away the veil, clearly seeing her face.

However, the facts are not so poetic and wonderful. I saw that on the battlefield, there were corpses and blood all the way, including horses, some people, some wailing Qing soldiers, and some wandering horses.

Some Qing soldiers were trampled into meat sauce, some Qing soldiers were trampled to their brains, and some Qing soldiers were lying at the feet of the pike soldiers and were trampled on their heads.

Some fell to the ground with their backs on the sky, some lay on the ground and couldn't see clearly, while others curled up on the ground and obviously struggled before their death.

Each has his own way of dying and his own characteristics.

It's really... one shot and one can make you die.

"This...this...this..." A flag, a whole flag, disappeared, Ajig's face suddenly turned pale, and he rubbed his eyes hard in disbelief. When the rubbing his eyes hurt so much that his eyes were extremely painful, he looked forward again. The scene still did not change. This was not an illusion!

Ajige immediately panicked. This time he entered the pass to plunder wealth, people and animals. He lost 7,500 Eight Banners' children, and the losses were extremely heavy. Even if he plundered hundreds of thousands of Han people and returned to Liaodong as slaves, he might not be able to make up for the loss. After all, there were too few soldiers from the Eight Banners.

What to do after you go back?

"Brother, what should I do?" Ajige looked at Abatai with a blue face. At this moment, he was already panicked. Abatai's face turned pale. He looked at Zhao Yan on the command car in the distance and said in a deep voice: "The Ming people have this army. In the future, we will not only plunder the south, but also whether we can occupy Liaodong will be a big problem."

"The only way now..."

"What's the solution?" Azig asked.

"The only way now is to use a cannon to kill the Ming general named Zhao. We may be rewarded after we go back." Abatai pointed at Zhao Yan in the command car.

"But the artillery is still behind." Ajige said in embarrassment. The Eight Banners naturally had to bring artillery. Although they did not rely entirely on artillery when siege, artillery occupies an important position in the siege.

However, the red cannons that Kong Youde brought to the Qing Dynasty were too heavy, so they were pulled behind. Although they grabbed more than a dozen cannons used to defend the city in Yanqing, their range was too short. Zhao Yan's command platform was at least 600 meters away from them. Not to mention whether those shells could hit so far, the hit rate was a big problem.

"How long will it take to get there?" Abatai asked, and Azig hurriedly asked someone else.

"It will take half an hour to pull the cannon in front." A Han general said, it was the artillery team he led.

"Two quarters of an hour, I will only give you two quarters of an hour, and I can't pull it within two quarters of an hour. I will chop your head." Aziger shouted at the Han general with a stern voice.

The Han general looked bitter, but he did not dare to raise objections, so he had to promise and urge the artillery team in advance, but he was thinking about various thoughts in his mind.

The Red Barbarian Cannon weighs thousands of pounds, and half an hour thinks it’s too little time, let alone two quarters of an hour? Even if the gods help, it’s impossible to get to the front line in two quarters of an hour. The general was very upset. Why didn’t he say one hour just now? [***] Damn, these savages in Liaodong simply don’t regard the Han people as humans.

If the cannon cannot pull the front line within two quarters of an hour, he will definitely be cut off his head. Thinking of this, the general suddenly felt fierce in his heart, and a bold idea appeared in his mind - rebel!

The Han general galloped towards the rear of the Qing army. A quarter of an hour later, he successfully met the artillery team he led. All of these gunners were captured, with about 500 people, some were gunners and some were handy soldiers.

The general immediately ordered his personal soldiers to chop the Qing soldiers in the artillery team. After a sneak attack and fighting, more than a dozen Qing soldiers in the artillery team were immediately chopped off.

"Brothers, listen to me." The general shouted as he climbed a rock, and all five hundred artillery soldiers looked over. "The Tartars were defeated on the front line and we must pull the cannons to the front line within two quarters of an hour, otherwise we will be beheaded."

With a "coax...", the five hundred artillery soldiers were in an uproar. In the excitement of the crowd, the Han general shouted: "This is simply intentionally killing us. The Tartars do not regard us Han people as humans. We will not work hard for the Tartars. We are Han people, and we will always be Han people. Our ancestors are looking at us in heaven..."

"Yes, we won't work hard for the Tartars. We will kill the Tartars..." Five hundred Han soldiers shouted in unison. They had no choice at this moment because the Qing Dynasty wanted them to complete an impossible task and kill them.

They did not know that the Qing Dynasty did not want to kill everyone, but the Han general successfully mobilized the soldiers. They rode their horses, hid from the mountains, waited for the opportunity to escape, or kill the Qing soldiers. If they wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, they had to have something to show off.

Behind is Xianzhuang, where the Qing soldiers hoarded spoils. With Qing soldiers defending them, they could only die in the past.

So hiding and looking at the situation is undoubtedly the best choice. As for those cannons, they pulled out all the leads of the shells before leaving, for fear that they would blow up the cannons and be discovered by the Qing soldiers.

... "It may take half an hour for the artillery team to arrive, we must drag it over half an hour." Abatai said to Ajige after the Han general left.

"How to delay?" Azig was completely panicked at this time.

"...... We continue to attack with each Niulu." Abatai held it in for a long time and said the solution he had thought of. This was the only way. If he didn't attack, the opponent might attack or retreat, but the opponent might attack even more, because the morale of the Qing army was obviously at a disadvantage.

Moreover, the Ming army could not give up the spoils everywhere.

The Qing army saw the tragic scenes on the battlefield, and they were all afraid of it. The white flag in the inlaid was destroyed as soon as it was said. The destruction was only in an instant. When they looked at the Denglai Army, there was a hint of fear in their eyes, and they no longer had their usual pride.

The Denglai Army strengthened its beliefs even more. Jiannu was indeed not the rumored arrogant one. It was the result of the unbearable sale of official positions and titles in the officialdom, and the military generals did not practice military affairs and did not want to serve the country.

"If you want to rebuild the glorious Ming Empire, you must obey the generals. The general will give everyone food, everyone clothes and wear clothes, everyone will teach when they are young, have some care when they are old, and have some medical treatment when they are sick. The general will eliminate all the corruption of the empire, lead us to guard our homes, lead us to destroy all barbaric countries, let the Yueyue flag fly around the world, and establish the Ming global empire." A soldier looked back at Zhao Yan on the podium, meditated in his heart, and firmly held the spear in his hand, Jiannu would not want to cross before him.

As the pike soldiers who are the backbone of the army, their mission is to protect musketeers, artillery, and rocket soldiers. They are the most dangerous troops besides cavalry and one of the most glorious troops.

Every soldier has reached a level of fanaticism with Zhao Yan's loyal ministers. They have been brainwashed for a long time, but Zhao Yan promised that he did a lot and was not deceiving them.

In addition to being loyal to Zhao Yan personally, they were also loyal to the Ming Empire. But in their minds, Zhao Yan represents the hope of the empire.

Although Zhao Yan advocates loyalty to him, he also requires soldiers to be loyal to the country and the nation. It is not a good thing for soldiers to be loyal to the individual, because individuals cannot last forever, and as long as there are soldiers with loyal ministers, the country may continue to maintain.

Yuan Shikai is a typical example of failure. He knows how to seize opportunities and knows how to win people's hearts. He overthrew the Qing Dynasty. However, his Beiyang Army was only one who was not loyal to the Republic of China. He himself was not loyal to the Republic of China, and he continued to use money to win people's hearts, which eventually made his subordinates develop endless desires. After Yuan Shikai's death, the Beiyang Army was divided. The reason was the lack of faith. Yuan Shikai himself had no faith. He was an old bureaucrat with only three magic weapons to control, namely money, official position, and butcher knife. He was obedient and gave money to officials, and disobedient and ate the knife.

Zhao Yan also has these three magic weapons. His beliefs make people obedient, disobedient labor reform, those who make contributions will be promoted, and those who embezzle and accept bribes will be punished.

...Ajige weighed the pros and cons, but finally chose to follow Abatai's advice and let each Niulu attack one after another to delay time.

Only by killing the general named Zhao can they not be punished when they go back.

The first person to act as cannon fodder was the newly surrendered Yan Duo's troops. The Qing soldiers supervised the battle behind them. Under the pressure of the Qing soldiers, the three thousand Yan Duo's soldiers moved forward with their legs trembling.

As soon as the range was entered, the musketeers opened fire again, shooting the armorless Yan Duo soldiers to 150 meters away. The soldiers of Yan Duo soldiers were so scared that they turned around and ran away. However, the Qing army supervisers used their knives and chopped more than a dozen heads. Yan Duo soldiers were forced to move forward, and some continued to move forward, and some simply used knives with the Qing soldiers, but they were quickly suppressed, and those who advanced were also shot and killed by the musketeers.

At this time, Ajige called out another Jiala and launched a charge towards the Denglai army. However, the charge of these 1,500 Qing soldiers was relatively loose and not densely formed.

They took out their bows and arrows one by one, as if they were going to ride and shoot.

However, as soon as they entered a distance of 170 meters, they were immediately attacked by musketeers from Dengzhou Camp and Laizhou Camp. Although they lined up in loose formations, they could not resist the large number of musketeers in the Denglai Army.

Three thousand musketeers per battalion!

Barrage was shot out one after another, and Jiala had no chance to get close to shooting arrows. He was soon beaten by the dense barrage to death and injury by nearly one-third, and then he was defeated and returned.

Zhao Yan couldn't see it clearly on the podium, so he frowned and said, "What is Jiannu doing? Send him to death?"

"There must be a plan." Liu Heng judged.

"Planning?" Zhao Yan asked.

"At this moment, Jiannu should have been delaying time because he did such a meaningless thing, but it is unknown what they were planning." Liu Heng could not judge what the Qing soldiers were thinking, but the intention to delay time was to see through it at a glance.

"They delayed time, um! It's very similar." Zhao Yan thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what the Qing army delayed time and ran away? It shouldn't be that the Qing army would not run like this.

Counterattack? Going around to the back? It is even more impossible. The passage to the west has arranged scouts, and the main force of the Qing army is here. It is impossible to go around behind the Denglai army with Zhao Yan's eyelids lowered.

"What might they be waiting for?" Liu Heng said.

"No matter what they are waiting for, the cavalry and artillery battalion will launch an shelling immediately after entering the attack position." Zhao Yan ordered.
