The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 108
The flamboyant Qing soldiers were stunned by the shells.

For many Qing soldiers, artillery on the battlefield was their lingering nightmare.When fighting with the Ming army in the past few decades, the Qing army suffered a lot from the Ming army's artillery. I don't know how many people were killed or injured by the Ming army's artillery fire.

In the field battle, the Qing army can be said to have beaten the Ming army, full of arrogance.But only when they faced the artillery of the Ming army would they feel that they lacked courage.

Even their Great Khan, Nurhachi, was wounded by Ming army artillery and died.

It was not easy to get my own artillery, but I didn't see the shells falling on the enemy's head, but today I saw the shells falling on my own head, which made the soldiers of the Qing army terrified.

It was frustrating enough to find that the horse thief's stronghold, which was thought to be taken down casually, was a Xiongguan fortress.

Well, the Xiongguan Fortress is nothing, after all, I have conquered many cities in the Ming Dynasty over the years of the Qing Dynasty.

However, they resorted to provocative tactics that have worked repeatedly in the past, and they failed today.And it was still defeated by the fierce shells, which made the Qing army's already somewhat depressed mood even worse.

What exactly is going on?Didn't it mean that it was just a lair of horse thieves, how did it become the Xiongguan Fortress, and there was such a fierce artillery fire?

When many Qing soldiers were dying, they were still thinking about this issue in their hearts.

After the former general of the Qing army came back to his senses, he hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and the sound of gongs and gongs sounded hurriedly.

But before the Qing army retreated in time, there was another loud roar, and the second round of more than a dozen shells roared and flew towards their heads again.

The shells fell into the crowd, and another bloody storm was set off, causing howls and screams of pain.

However, the Qing army had been fighting for a long time. Although they were not in a panic, they quickly retreated after hearing the sound of gold ringing from behind the formation, and did not stop at all because of the wailing comrades on the battlefield. .

Moreover, they dispersed quickly during the retreat, and the distance between the soldiers quickly widened.

This is also the experience of the Qing army in avoiding artillery from fighting the Ming army for many years. As long as the distance is opened, the lethality of the artillery shells will be much smaller.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help admiring the Qing army, which was panicked but not chaotic, and retreated without being defeated.

In the early days of each dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the army was quite tyrannical.This tyrannical combat effectiveness has also shaped the army's strong battlefield adaptability, which is also a necessary quality for an elite army.

The Qing army in front of them obviously possessed this kind of quality. It was really rare that they were able to wake up from the panic quickly after being hit suddenly.

During the retreat of the Qing soldiers, the artillery team fired another round of shells.

It's just that the results of this round of artillery shells were much smaller when the Qing army was prepared.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Chuan had no choice but to order the shelling to stop.The shells he seized last time were not many, and they couldn't be wasted easily.

And the real battle hasn't even started yet, it's just a pre-dinner dessert.

Seeing the Qing soldiers retreating in embarrassment, cheers erupted on the city wall: "Long live the general, long live!"

The rolling sound waves went in all directions, and the momentum was not much worse than the wolf howling of the Qing soldiers just now.

The former general of the Qing army heard this, his face was extremely ugly, but he could only order all the troops to retreat to the positions before departure.

Fortunately, the camping location he chose before was relatively far away, so that he could avoid the threat of artillery.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the morale that had just been boosted by the Qing army became depressed again. Although it would not be said that the morale of the army was broken, there was no doubt that the soldiers had already developed a feeling of fear of conquering the fortress of Xiongguan in front of them.

The former army leader had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. On the other hand, he sent someone to report the matter to Duoduo, the Chinese army behind him.

Duoduo led the central army and the rear army were also depressed by the torrential rain yesterday. As soon as the sky cleared, he ordered to break out of the camp and move on.

The road was soaked in mud by the heavy rain, and it was difficult for the army to move forward. They had to lift their legs to shake off the mud on their feet, and the soldiers were losing their physical strength rapidly.

Moreover, it is even more difficult for the luggage vehicles at the back to move forward. The front is pulled by horses, and the rear is pushed by people. The wheels of the cart roll slowly in the mud, and from time to time, the soldiers are required to give the mud stuck to the wheels. get rid of.

This kind of rapid progress made Duoduo even more restless.

I thought it was an ordinary combat mission, but everything went wrong from the very beginning.First, he was harassed by enemy cavalry, and he lost [-] Mongolian cavalry under his own carelessness.

Then it rained again, trapping the main force of the army on the way.

All these unfavorable signs made him start to worry a little about the five thousand forwards, but it was only a little bit.

At present, it seems that this bandit army is stronger than he imagined.But so far, Duoduo still didn't pay much attention to this bandit army.

In his heart, no matter whether it is a rainstorm or a world of ice and snow, it is just a kind of experience for the Eight Banners to sharpen their bodies and temper their spirits.

The fearless warriors of the Eight Banners will never succumb to the might of heaven and earth. You must know that your ancestors walked out of the bitter cold of the world of ice and snow, and then they became stronger step by step, and they came to where they are today.

So so far, Duduo at most just thinks that this operation is not as smooth as expected. After all, any accidents on the battlefield may happen, so it is nothing to him who has been fighting for many years. Hesitant to move forward, resulting in fear.

If that is the case, then they are not descendants of Aixinjueluo.

Seeing the slow speed of the team, Dodo thought for a while and ordered: "The whole army took off their boots and moved forward barefoot."

After giving an order, he saw a strange scene. More than 2 people quickly took off their muddy boots, tied them with ropes and hung them around their necks, and started walking barefoot on the dirt road.

Anyone who has had this kind of experience knows that walking barefoot on a dirt road is much faster than walking on a dirt road with shoes, because there is much less sticky mud.

As a result, the speed of the entire army suddenly accelerated a lot.

After the weather cleared, as soon as the sun came out, the temperature that had been taken away by the rain began to rise rapidly.

After walking for half a day, the road surface scorched by the sun has begun to dry up, and the army is moving faster.

Just as Duoduo was about to ask the scouts how long it would take to arrive, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes running towards him.

As soon as he got off the horse, he shouted on the horse: "Report to the lord, the former army has an urgent military situation!"

Hearing these words, Doduo's heart suddenly trembled, and a bad feeling arose.

　The agreed-upon second update was written, and I almost couldn't keep my eyes open.Let's give the old cat a few tickets to sleep peacefully.
