The walls of the Ming army camps were made of large baskets filled with earth. At the bottom are three rows of large baskets, two rows in the middle, and one row at the top. There are wooden stairs and corridors in the middle to facilitate patrols for soldiers watching the night. Now there is a platoon of soldiers rushing into the corridor, picking up muskets and starting to shoot outside. Unexpectedly, at this time, heavy rain, many barrels of gun barrels were poured into the rain. Muskets are different from cannons. The gun gun powder package is wrapped in silk and is filled into the entire cannon chamber, so that there is some water in the cannon chamber. However, the muskets are different. Muskets need to pour gunpowder into the gun chamber, and there is no water inside it. The row of muskets fired less than one-third of the volleys, which is as if farts.

Zhu Hongsan looked behind and cursed: "Waste! Waste! Can such a heavy rain gun be used to fire? Why don't you find a tent to dry the barrel and then come out after loading it?"

In fact, if the Qing army seized this opportunity and attacked the North Gate with all their might, they would have attacked. At this time, the Ming army had only four artillery fired, and the soldiers were in a hurry and loaded in the rain, and most of the muskets could not be fired. If the Qing army commanders seized the fighter plane, they would have achieved some results. However, the Qing army generals were afraid of death. They all knew that the Ming army's firearms were powerful and had long been hiding behind. Even Xu Yong, a deputy general, was not ready to take risks in front, let alone those generals. This led to the Qing army's front line being only a few low-level officers in the generals. These people saw that they were not under the control of Shangguan. In addition, the Ming army's artillery was really powerful, and they retreated for their lives. The soldiers around them naturally followed suit and retreated like a tide.

Zhu Hongsan lay on the trunk and saw the Qing army retreating, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It was too dangerous just now. If the Qing army had stronger combat effectiveness, they could rush in. At this time, the large group of people in the military camp came. Zhao Guodong came to Zhu Hongsan and said, "Your Majesty, the rain is too heavy. Please go back to the tent to hide from the rain. Leave it here to me!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and pulled Zhao Guodong and said, "It's dark now and the military situation outside is unknown. Just fight back against the Qing army's attack. Don't go out to chase it. Let's wait until dawn!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he came to a tent two hundred meters later, where people naturally served him to change into the wet clothes.

Just as Zhu Hongsan changed his clothes, the defeated Qing army retreated to the grove. Hong Chengchou, wearing a straw raincoat, saw Xu Yong and Ma Degong back, and asked with a low face: "Deputy General Xu, why are you back so soon? What are the results of the battle?"

"Master, the Ming army artillery is really sharp, and the last general can't rush in!"

"Fuck, Xu Yong, do you think I can't hear the sound of Ming army artillery in the back team? There are only four artillery pieces in total, and you can't rush in if you 5,000 people? Are you afraid of the enemy like a tiger?"

"Master, that's not the case! The brothers are really fighting to the death, but the Ming army's artillery is too sharp and can kill hundreds of brothers with one shot..."

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and refused to let Xu Yong continue: "Ma Degong, you have gone too, tell me what's going on?"

Ma Degong thought that if he spoke for Xu Yong now, he would be the one who was guilty of poor combat. Don’t die of fellow Taoists, but I’m sorry, Xu Yong, you’re unlucky!

"Master General, the last general led 10,000 cavalry in the back team. He saw with his own eyes that Deputy General Xu was not effective in fighting. The Ming army only fired twice and then retreated!"

Xu Yong originally expected Ma Degong to speak well for him, but he didn't expect that Ma Degong would not have the best words to do anything to do.

"Ma Degong, you bastard, why don't you say that if I fight to the death in front of me!"

Hong Chengchou was waiting for this sentence. Now 60,000 Qing troops were wet all night in the heavy rain, and their morale was low. They needed a head to boost morale and let these guys fight desperately. Xu Yong happened to be not his own line. He was a bandit, and his former master Li Chengdong even surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and took his head to sacrifice to the flag.

"Come on, I pushed Xu Yong and his five leading captains out and cut them down. The heads of the three armies were passed on, and his team was handed over to Ma Degong to lead!"

Hong Chengchou's personal soldiers came up and slashed Xu Yong and the five unlucky guys, and presented the heads. All the Qing generals looked at the six bloody heads and necks and blew them.

Ma Degong was originally Hong Chengchou's confidant. He knew that he was fine, but he didn't feel comfortable seeing the head.

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to take down the six heads, and said to Ma Degong: "General Ma, your 20,000 cavalry are the most combat-effective. Now I will hand over all the 4,000 people left by Xu Yong to you. You must break through the Ming army's wall. Can you do it?"

At this time, he said that he would die if he couldn't do it. Ma Degong gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured, the general will definitely do it!"

"Okay, General Ma, as long as you do it, I recommend you to be the admiral of Jiangnan!"

The Admiral is a first-rank military officer, and the Admiral is in charge of the military power of a province. He is a veritable chief official. When Ma Degong heard that he could be promoted, his eyes turned red: "Please rest assured, the general is willing to issue a military order. If he cannot take down the Ming army wall, just like Xu Yong!"

"Okay, I will hold you in the back team, go!"

Ma Degong returned to his army, found his own brother Ma Dezhu, and said to his brother: "Second, it seems that our buddies are going to work hard today!"

Ma Dezhu is the deputy general. He was just around the side and saw Xu Yong beheaded. Now he heard his brother say that he couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Brother, it's dark now, and our soldiers can't see it. How can we fight this battle?"

"If you can't fight, you have to fight. This time you can only succeed but not fail. If you lose, Xu Yong will be like our buddies! I just saw that the Ming army muskets were sparse, and they should be unable to be used after being tide. We are like this. I will take 10,000 to Ximen, and I will take the rest of the people at the North Gate. As long as there is a place to break through, it will be our buddies' credit!"

"Okay, brother! I'll take people to Ximen now, you have to be careful!"

Ma Degong grabbed Ma Dezhu and whispered: "Second, you have a small goal. If you really can't attack, you must run away first if you take a few people back to Yangzhou and arrange our family members. Don't come out to be an official, be a rich man!"

Ma Dezhu didn't say anything when he heard his elder brother say this, nodded and took people to Ximen.

Ma Degong summoned his subordinates, gathered his troops, led 14,000 people to attack the North Gate.

At this time, several civil servants in the Ming army camp had woken up and went out to ask about the situation. Later, the Beimen here greeted Zhu Hongsan. Seeing that Tong Yangjia, Qian Qianyi, Jiang Yueguang, Zhang Huangyan and other civil servants were not left, they all gathered here. They couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm worried about you all, don't worry, the Qing army will not attack!"

At this time, Zhu Hongsan saw his concubine Wang Wan'er coming with Li Chengen, and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you here like this? What should you do if you hurt your sword and gun on the battlefield without any eyes?"

When Li Chengen saw Zhu Hongsan angry, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Wang Wan'er smiled from the side and said, "I asked Eunuch Li to accompany me. Now the war is in chaos, and your Majesty is still safe!"

Zhu Hongsan suddenly realized that these stinky old ninths did not care about him, but came here because of his safety. On the other hand, Han Sanqiang, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard Division, was afraid that the emperor would make mistakes, so he sent a group of 3,000 people around the periphery, with five hundred Jinyiwei protectors inside, which was as solid as a decent.

Jiang Yueguang, Zhang Huangyan still had to be slightly faced, and his face turned red and lowered his head without saying anything. Qian Qianyi and Tong Yangjia didn't know what his face was.

Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here to see how my Emperor Shenwu shows his power and eliminate the dog traitor Hong Chengchou!"

Tong Yangjia beat and drum on the side: "Mr. Qian, don't you know that when His Majesty and I went south, we encountered tens of thousands of bandits in Hengzhou. His Majesty defeated them with less than a thousand people. Compared with the bandits on the opposite side, these Qing troops on the other side are really a witch!"

Just as these two old guys were shamelessly flattering, there were dense sounds of horse hooves outside the camp, and it seemed that the Qing army was coming.

Han Sanqiang on Zhu Hong’s three sides had rich combat experience. He could not help but wonder when he heard the sound of horse hooves: “We have the protection of the village wall, aren’t we seeking death with cavalry charges?”

Zhu Hongsan didn't understand why, but he suddenly saw the puddle on the ground and suddenly remembered that his village wall was made of mud, and his most feared was rain.

"Hurry! The order is sent to let all the soldiers in the corridor come down, and the Qing army will attack the village wall!"

Zhao Guodong didn't know what the emperor meant, but he still conscientiously implemented the emperor's orders and asked hundreds of soldiers who stayed in the corridor to get out of the corridor.

As soon as these soldiers got off the corridor, they heard the sound of horse hooves outside the camp stopping. Suddenly, hundreds of iron hooks were thrown in from outside and grabbed the willow baskets on the village wall. Then the sound of horse hooves sounded again, and the iron hook exerted force to collapse the wall made of soil.

In fact, if it was daytime or without rain, the Qing cavalry would never approach the wall. But I didn’t expect that Zhu Hongsan was so unlucky. It happened to rain heavily. Less than half of the 500-pound earth basket was washed away by the rain. In addition, it was dark now and the Ming army could not aim, which made the Qing army successfully attack.

Zhu Hongsan saw that the good village wall was broken more than 200 meters away, and knew that there would be a fierce battle tonight. Only 30% of the muskets could be used except for artillery. It seems that it would be impossible not to fight hand-to-hand.

Zhu Hongsan took off his dragon robe, exposed the steel armor she wore, reached out to take two horizontal knives from the Jinyiwei beside him, and said to Wang Xian beside him: "Wang Xian, you bring two hundred people to protect all the adults! Brother, it seems that you are going to work again tonight!"
