Following Wen Cheng's order, the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion took the lead in launching an attack on the Qing army.
Rows of dark cannonballs, glowing with red light, were like falling meteors, hitting the slope where the Qing army was!
These Qing troops were completely confused!
They seemed to have never thought that the Caishi Army would dare to launch a surprise attack on them before their foothold was stable. For a moment, they were unable to resist at all and had to flee in all directions.
The cavalry who guarded them escaped quickly because of the presence of war horses, but the coolies and infantry pulling the bullock carts were in dire straits!
Facing the fierce artillery fire from the Caishi Army, they had no choice but to escape and tragically became cannon fodder.
"The Qing army's artillery formation is nothing more than that! With such a small weight, you actually dare to come out and embarrass yourself! Sons, give me a hard blast! Hahaha!" Wang Pu laughed, feeling extremely happy.
However, on the side, Liu Ruyi's face changed slightly, while Wen Cheng, who was also staring at the direction of the Qing army's artillery array, seemed to have some doubts on his face.
But before the two of them could speak, for a moment, fire suddenly flashed on top of Pinggu City!
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Rows of dark artillery shells covered the sky and the sun, like a violent storm, pouring down towards the Caishi Army artillery camp position!
"Fuck! This bastard!" Liu Ruyi couldn't help but yell!
"General, be careful, get down quickly!" Wen Cheng didn't even have time to curse. He rushed forward and threw Liu Ruyi to the ground.
In a moment, all the officers on the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion were lying down!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The earth seemed to be torn to pieces, rocks and soil debris were flying all over the mountain, billowing smoke filled the air, and screams and screams were heard everywhere.
"General, these Qing troops are so despicable! Those bullock carts are just a cover, just to attract our firepower! But their artillery has long been waiting on the top of the city. As soon as our artillery battalion reveals its position, it will attack
Let's give a fatal blow!" Wen Cheng also reacted at this time and explained anxiously to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi's face was a little livid. Just when the Caishi Army was shelling, he realized that something was wrong with the situation. No one thought of it!
How could the Qing army be so cunning!
The Zhengbai Banner cavalry who came out to protect them were the elites of the Zhengbai Banner, but the infantry servants pulling the ox carts were the people of the Ming Dynasty. They actually used the people of the Ming Dynasty as bait!
But things have already happened, and regretting now has no effect at all.
The only thing that can be done is to solve the problem.
Liu Ruyi spat out a mouthful of dirt, grabbed Wen Sheng's hand and said, "Under such circumstances, do our troops still have the strength to fight back? Fuck me hard!"
Wen Cheng also reacted and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, General! Since the Qing army dares to trick us! I swear they will pay the price!"
After Wen Cheng finished speaking, he rolled over, rushed a few steps in front of Liu Ruyi, and shouted loudly: "Boys of the Caishi Army! Cheer up for me! Turn the muzzle of the gun and shoot hard at me.
The city is bombarded!"
Although the Qing army took the lead and took the lead in grasping the movements of the Caishi Army's artillery battalion, although their first round of attacks was fierce, the gap between their first round of attacks and the second round of shelling was quite long!
After all, it takes a certain amount of time for the gunner to load, aim, calibrate, and fire.
But within this short period of time, the artillerymen of the Caishi Army had already reacted to the initial chaos.
Under Wen Cheng's loud shouts, they reloaded, aimed, calibrated, ignited, and pointed the dark muzzles in the direction of the Qing artillery camp on the top of Pinggu City.
"Boom~boom~boom..."
"Boom...boom...boom"
The roar of artillery with different sound quality is like the continuous thunder between heaven and earth, which is about to tear the world apart.
The dark cannonballs in the sky are like turbulence in the depths of the starry sky. You come and go, back and forth, shrouding the entire world in a huge black smoke.
The Caishi Army's position had already turned into a sea of fire.
However, since he formed an army, when Liu Ruyi deployed the artillery camp, he always used measured mud and sand bags as the main structure. At this time, although the construction time of the Caishi Army camp was still short, this requirement has never been
Be relaxed.
Violent wildfires spread rapidly, but within the sandbag-based isolation zone, these wildfires seemed to be blocked by rocks and could not move forward at all.
It also allows the colored stone artillery gunners in the battle formation to protect their lives to the greatest extent.
But looking at the Qing army, their luck was not so good!
Their artillery battalion camp was built on the Pinggu city wall.
Although the city wall is made of extremely strong blue bricks, under such a fierce artillery attack by the Caishi Army, even a big mountain will be flattened!
'Boom...boom...boom...'
It was another round of overwhelming counterattack. The Qing army's city head position seemed to have been flattened. The original offensive structure in the front had long been reduced to nothing, and the fire covered the sky and the sun.
Those Qing army artillerymen at the rear of the battle formation were slightly luckier and had not been affected by the fire yet. However, those Qing army artillerymen at the front of the battle formation who were the first to launch an offensive against the Caishi Army were at this time
Paying the heaviest price!
The fire was raging, and there was no longer any shelter on top of the city.
Even if these Qing army artillerymen wanted to escape, they had no way to escape. They could only watch their bodies being spread by the raging fire. In the end, the paintings were reduced to ashes!
"Ah~~~! Help, help! I don't want to die yet! I don't want to die yet! My son is just one month old! I haven't heard him call me dad yet!" A Qing Army and Han flag artilleryman was covered in blood.
The fire had already scorched his hair and clothes, and he was like a man on fire, screaming in heart-rending pain.
Around them, those Qing artillerymen who were lucky enough not to be affected by the Caishi Army's artillery fire couldn't help but look in pain.
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad!
Facing an opponent like Caishi Army, they really don't have much confidence!
At this time, the obedient King Kong Youde was outspoken and angry.
He never expected that with such a sophisticated trick to lure the enemy and such a perfect opportunity to attack, he expected to knock down the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion in one go. But how could he have expected that even in such an unfavorable situation?
, the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion was able to come back alive!
"Hold it! Hold it! Hold it all to me! If anyone dares to step back even half a step, I will kill him! The emperor is watching from behind! Sons, show your true skills! Come to me
The colorful stone army is blasting hard!" Kong Youde was covered in black and gray, but he didn't even have time to take care of it. He drew out the steel knife from his waist and shouted loudly under the protection of more than a hundred soldiers.
The artillerymen of the Qing army, who had already thought about retreating, saw that their general was so determined and did not dare to have the slightest intention of retreating. They could only cheer up and continue to fight against the Caishi Army!
~~~~~
On the southern city wall, far away from the artillery fire attack range of the Caishi Army, Huang Taiji led a group of Manchu dignitaries to watch the battle unfold.
The situation was originally very good, and these Manchu and Qing dignitaries had been cheering endlessly, but who would have expected that in a short time, the Caishi Army actually reversed the situation. With strong firepower, the Qing army was unable to lift its head under direct pressure, and suffered heavy casualties.
A trace of gloom flashed across Huang Taiji's brows. He did not expect that the artillery battalion he had spent so much effort and all the financial resources of the Qing Dynasty to build would be defeated in the first battle against the Caishi Army.
Back to original shape!
Although they won't be defeated immediately, they can only linger on. There is no hope of winning at all. If this continues, they will be defeated sooner or later!
"Liu Ruyi! Colored Stone Army!" Huang Taiji's teeth were about to break!
On the side, Dorgon hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, the artillery of the Caishi Army is too sharp! Their artillery has a longer range and more power than ours. This should be the latest artillery of those white-haired ghosts!
It's unwise to be so tough with them! If we retreat now, we can still preserve a trace of the incense of King Gong. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
"Retreat? How did you ask me to retreat?" Huang Taiji glared at Dorgon angrily.
Although he knew that Dorgon was telling the truth, how could he easily accept this situation?
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!" Dorgon quickly knelt on the ground.
He understood Huang Taiji's expectations for the Qing artillery battalion, but things had reached such an extent that they actually had no chance of winning with artillery!
This is like a war between a college student and a junior high school student. Although the junior high school student has worked hard, after all, the reality gap is cruelly there!
Once you know your way back, you will still have the energy to fight again in the future!
But if you persist in persisting, you may even lose your life!
Huang Taiji felt like a fire was raging in his heart. Suddenly, his throat opened and he spat out a large pool of blood. He tilted his body and was about to faint on the ground.
The Manchu dignitaries around him couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly helped Huang Taiji up. They patted his straps repeatedly and managed to stabilize Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji's originally flushed face was now as pale as a piece of paper. For a long time, he uttered a few words in pain, "Withdraw! Order the respectful king to withdraw first!"
"twitter!"
~~~~~~
Colored Stone Army Position.
Watching the Qing army's artillery battalion gradually mute its fire until there was no response at all, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of her mouth.
It seems that these young men in the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion have really put in a lot of hard work in the past few years!
Facing an extremely unfavorable situation today, with flesh and blood and courage, he actually managed to turn the situation around!
Especially Wen Cheng, although he is still young, his fierceness and courage when facing war are just like his own back then.
"Not bad! You guys performed well today! I will remember this for you!" Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Wen Sheng on the shoulder.
Wen Cheng's face was stained with blood, but when he heard Liu Ruyi's praise, he smiled shyly. He seemed completely different from his commanding state just before the battle. He knelt down on one knee respectfully and said: "Thank you very much.
The general praised me! However, today, if Wen Cheng had not been careless, so many brothers would not have died! Wen Cheng is willing to accept the punishment of the general!"
Looking at the corpses of the artillery battalion soldiers who died in the battle beside him, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "It's not your fault in this matter! If it is wrong, it is also my Liu Ruyi's fault! War! It is so cruel! Don't
I have thought so much! Brothers who died in the war will have their place in the Martyrs' Shrine! However, for this plan, we still have to knock down the arrogance of the Qing army and let them understand that provoking our Colored Stone Army will not work.
