  Chapter 2627 Guizi scroll **** battles, life hangs by a thread

  Seeing more and more Jianzhou Army starting to assemble from the two wings, and the cavalry also took the initiative to move forward and circle around to attract their own firepower, Tao Dasheng knew that from this moment on, the war really started.

All the victories and advantages obtained before were based on the premise that the opponent did not understand their own situation. If they knew that they had deployed artillery arrays, they would not have attacked the camp head-on with dense flat pushes so hastily. Create the best bombardment target for the artillery array.

   But now the situation is becoming clearer. The location of the artillery array and the size of the gunners are basically known to the Jianzhou Army.

In this case, the galloping fire of the Jianzhou cavalry army will definitely be greatly strengthened. Even at the risk of being shot by the firecrackers, they must cause interference and damage, forcing their own artillery and firecrackers to not go all out to strike. The second round of siege.

  While the northwest battlefield was preparing for the real battle, the main battlefield on Zhu Mei's side had actually ushered in the offensive climax that Fei Yingdong's side hated.

  Compared to the ups and downs on the northwest camp battlefield, both sides in the main battlefield know the basics, and have entered a fierce battle state from the very beginning.

  The cavalry in Fei Yingdong's hands kept attacking from the flanks from the beginning, trying to make a breakthrough from the side and rear. However, Zhu Mei and He Kegang had already been prepared for this routine of the Jianzhou Army.

  By this time, the two sides are no strangers to each other, and all kinds of routines have been used up before.

   It was nothing more than the confrontation between the approaching Jianzhou archers and the Zhou army's musketeers and artillery teams, and then the Jianzhou cavalry continued to shoot and harass from all directions, intending to seek a breakthrough.

  The cavalry of the Zhou army were at a disadvantage and could only fight passively, and they were often suppressed. Gradually, they would close the distance and enter the state of hand-to-hand combat.

   But entering the melee Jianzhou army also does not have much advantage.

  Using the time required to pull into this space, the Zhou army's firecrackers can give full play to their firepower advantages, and the artillery team can also adjust the attack direction in a timely manner to cause damage to the Jianzhou army.

  Although the Jianzhou Army is constantly changing its formation and no longer adopts the method of intensive charge, the spearmen may still firmly resist the impact of the Jianzhou Army after entering hand-to-hand combat, giving the firecrackers an advantage.

  Under such circumstances, Zhu Mei and He Kegang are sure to resist Fei Yingdong's offensive, and they can also use Fei Yingdong's active attack to wait for work and continue to inflict damage on the vital forces of Jianzhou.

Now Zhu Mei is not worried at all that Fei Yingdong can defeat her side on the frontal battlefield, even if there will be some problems in some parts or areas, but she has a reserve team, led by You He Kegang, who can invest in it at any time. On this point he is very confident.

  The key to Fairy is that on the battlefield on Heiyunlong's side, there are more than 10,000 troops twice the size of Heiyunlong's army. Can they resist it?

Hei Yunlong is a general who can fight hard and tough battles, but it is conceivable that Nurhachi can safely lead an army of 10,000 to 20,000 troops around the side wall and come to the Liaohetao swamp area. A veteran of all battles.

  Twice as many troops as her own, and Zhu Mei also had no idea whether her hastily built fortress could give full play to the advantages of firearms and hold the opponent down.

  Similarly, Hei Yunlong had no confidence in Tao Dasheng's persistence in the camp he came out of.

  At this time, Hei Yunlong is still organizing a line of defense in the two rear areas, and he will stand firm here until the flanking attack of Fangji Town's army arrives to wipe out this strange army in Jianzhou.

  Tao Dasheng's camp is now like a flat boat in the raging sea, and is being besieged by the Jianzhou Army three times his own.

In addition to Sajiala pressing all the Donghai Jurchen soldiers up, Hu Erhan mobilized another 3,000 Jianzhou infantry to attack from the flanks, and also sent an additional 1,000 rangers to harass and shoot around the periphery, creating a huge threat for Tao Dasheng. Kill and apply pressure.

  A trench dug twenty steps outside the camp in advance can only serve as a hindrance.

  Because the ground was too frozen, even a trench less than two steps wide and less than one person deep still took more than two thousand people a day.

But in any case, this trench can still act as a hindrance. No matter how they attack, these Jianzhou and Donghai Jurchen soldiers have to jump off the trench and climb up the trench again to organize the attack. Such a delay is at least A fighter that can win an extra round of shooting for the gunners who live in high places.

Zhou Jun also cleverly covered the ditch with a layer of straw curtains with branches before, so at first the Jurchen army didn't notice this ditch, which was more like a trap. They rushed up, and the result was that they fell into the ditch one after another, which also created a good opportunity for the musketeers to shoot and kill in rounds.

But such an opportunity can only delay the opponent's attack for a short time. When the 6,000 army rushed up, the trench was quickly obliterated. At this time, the fence of the camp was quickly pushed down by the Jurchen army, and gaps began to open It was exposed, and the real hand-to-hand combat began.

   Bows and arrows flew wildly, firecrackers rang together, and within fifty steps, the two sides started a desperate fight.

   One thousand spearmen and two hundred shield soldiers were pushed directly to the front line, and it was time for them to desperately fight.

  Where the fence fell, they would go up without hesitation, even if they were instantly stabbed into blood by the Jurchen army or shot to death by the Jurchen archers, they would have no hesitation.

The same gunners who had already killed red-eyes also lined up to shoot, focusing on more and more Jurchen soldiers pouring in. At this time, there was no need to aim at a distance of thirty or fifty steps, and they just raised their guns mechanically to fire, and then Mechanically retract the gun and retreat, clean the chamber and then reload the ammunition and press it tightly, go forward and fire again, without stopping, until you are shot down by an arrow or cut down by the Jurchen soldiers who broke through.

  The most dangerous time was when a piece of the fence was pulled down, and a gap of fifty or sixty steps wide was suddenly opened, which immediately attracted all the Jurchen soldiers to gather here, hoping to directly break through and capture the entire camp from here.

  But the tiger crouching cannon that adjusted the shooting angle finally caught up with this wave.

More than a dozen tiger squatting cannons suddenly thundered, like a storm sweeping in, and instantly wiped out hundreds of Jianzhou soldiers surging across the gap in the fence, like a hurricane passing by, leaving only a piece of broken limbs and blood flying everywhere .

The soldiers of the Zhou army took advantage of this momentum and took the opportunity to charge high with their spears, pushing the dizzy Jianzhou army out of the gap again, and the firecrackers who followed closely behind fired again. , followed up with another massacre by the Jianzhou Army who had just had time to follow up.

   Hu Erhan felt a chill in his heart.

  He never expected that the fence was pushed down, and the Jianzhou Army had rushed into the gap, but suffered such an unacceptable heavy blow.

The tiger squatting gun, which can flexibly adjust the shooting position and angle, has become a nightmare for the infantry. It uses spearmen and sword and shield hands to block the gap, and the musketeers shoot and kill from the two wings. Violently bombarding and killing with tiger squat cannons, this routine has become an invincible trump card, and the most powerful cavalry gallop in his hand has no way to play an advantage in it.

  Seeing that the soldiers who kept pouring forward suffered heavy losses under the rounds of fire from the opponent, Hu Erhan was very anxious.

This battle was completely beyond his imagination. The troops deployed by the Zhou army here, the types and power of the firearms they possessed were all far beyond imagination, and the consequences it brought were also serious. An hour and a half passed. To achieve this, even the fence failed to break through, and had to be placed on the gap in the fence.

Fortunately, the advantage of the Jianzhou army at the other end is still reflected, and the fences are constantly being pulled down and destroyed. Although the spearmen of the Zhou army continue to fill up and block the resistance, it is obvious that they cannot fill every gap. Sealed, at this time the military strength advantage of the Jianzhou Army can be gradually reflected.

  Although they paid a heavy price, the Jianzhou army could finally start to besiege the Zhou army, which was constantly tightening and hugging, watching the fence continue to be destroyed and pulled down.

   It's just that the soldiers of the Jianzhou Army also had lingering fears from time to time when they had to fire a round of tiger squat guns. They kept the rhythm when attacking, and entangled with the Zhou army as much as possible to avoid exposure.

This situation continued, and finally when the first fence was completely destroyed and Zhou Jun began to retreat behind the second fence, Hu Erhan was sure that the battle would be resolved in an hour. There is no way to perform anymore, and the loss of the musketeer is at least halfway through. Hu Erhan even deliberately slowed down the attacking rhythm to avoid too much loss. He can bring up the archer and use a more effective way to solve the battle.

   But for Hu Erhan, this was only the first hurdle, and it took him two hours. According to Fei Yingdong's request, the battle situation here must be resolved in three hours. If this continues, it will definitely not be achieved.

  But while Hu Erhan sent people to explain to Fei Yingdong, he also began to urge the army to bypass this camp that was about to fall and move forward quickly.

   Zhou Jun must still have a line of defense in front, but Hu Erhan knew that Zhou Jun would never find such a good terrain, and he would not let the opponent succeed again.

Looking at the Jianzhou Army passing by in the distance on both sides, Tao Dasheng, who was hit by an arrow on his shoulder, couldn't help sighing. He knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer, and he could do it for two hours. To the limit, maybe half an hour later, everyone here will be killed, but he has a clear conscience, he has completed the task assigned to him by the Lord, two hours.

   As for the arrival of reinforcements, he never placed his hopes on it.
