After two consecutive attacks, the number of musketeers in Zhu Dadian's hands has dropped sharply from 3,000 before the war to less than 1,800 now...

However, even so, Zhu Dadian, who was full of confidence in today's attack, was like a crazy gambler. He sent all the remaining musketeers to the battlefield and broke through the salt field in front of him in one fell swoop.

The next scene on the battlefield did not disappoint Zhu Dadian.

The musketeers he sent out had just entered the range of the opponent's muskets, and the sound of gunfire like a bean-like sound began to sound the battlefield.

Under the first round of lead bullets from the Tiger and Leopard Army, although seven or eight people were in an instant, their lives and deaths were unknown. However, Zhu Dadian, who was watching the battle, not only did not show any sadness on his face, but also saw a hint of excitement and excitement...

Because, through the gunfire just now, Zhu Dadian can be sure that there are definitely less than a hundred people in the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers who have just been shooting.

Even if the Salt Field defenders who had just fired the gun calculated with a hundred people and used the most common three-stage shooting, the remaining musketeers in the Tiger and Leopard Army on the city wall were only 300 people...

This data is exactly the same as the number of Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers I obtained after estimates and calculations last night.

Since it matches, it will be further proved that all my inferences last night were correct and well-founded.

In this case, with superior forces, dealing with a group of Tiger and Leopard Army without any advantage. If you can't capture it easily, then your decades will be in vain.

Thinking of this, the excitement that enveloped Zhu Dadian's face was already covered by confidence without realizing it.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered loudly: "Archesters. Four siege teams will start attacking immediately... Try to take down the city wall and attack the salt field within half an hour..."

After hearing the order, several generals who had already been eager to try, seemed to be suddenly injected with a dose of stimulant. They just hugged Zhu Dadian and rushed to the battlefield like a wind...

Soon, more than 5,000 equipment was quite complete. The official army with certain training was like a flood that broke the dike, rushing towards the city wall...

Seeing this, Zhu Dadian, who was full of confidence on his face, put down his telescope directly and ordered to the guard behind him: "Carry the tables and chairs in the military tent to me... I want to drink tea and watch the battle here, and behave like a ritual..."

Facing the rushing official army, in order to make the trick more realistic, the four siege teams dispatched by the official army were attracted to the foot of the city wall. Enter the attack range of grenades and explosives. The soldiers of the garrison guarding the city wall directly used rolling stones and spears to fight the enemy...

When several battles were in full swing, the official siege almost climbed the city wall and opened a gap in the city wall.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the officials who were sieging the city outside the city not only did not find anything unusual, but instead attacked more and more fiercely. Soon, the four thousand officials of the siege team all gathered on the front line of the city wall and rushed up to the ladder.

On the city tower, watching the soldiers under his command fall on the city wall one after another under the triple attack of the official army, the archers, and even the musketeers. The heart of the division commander He Guozhong was even more painful than blood.

However, for the sake of the overall situation and for a longer period of time, He Guozhong clenched his fists and endured it.

Just as He Guozhong's clenched fist, and was constantly smashing the city in front of him because of his aggrieved heart, the Chief of Staff's excited voice finally reached He Guozhong's ears.

He Guozhong's nervous heart just now also relaxed instantly.

At the same time, a gaze full of passion also shot out from He Guozhong's eyes.

After taking a deep breath, suppressing his inner aggrievance and expectation, he shouted: "It's finally our turn to fight back... I'm sending a signal immediately, ordering all the soldiers participating in the war to start fighting..."

Three signal flares, with sharp whistling sounds, just flew into the sky. Various roars began to roar from the platoon leader, captain... the officer.

More than 200 musketeers who had not fired were hidden, immediately raised their muskets and pulled the trigger at the archers of the officers and soldiers dozens of steps away.

After the sound of a bean-like gunfire sounded, it quickly gushed out of the barrel with an angry lead bullet, flew out of the city wall and showed its might and constantly shot arrows at the city wall.

At the same time, the 300 musketeers who fired at the official army's musketeers also turned the muzzle and shot the rain-filled lead bullets at the official army's archers.

Under the continuous shooting of more than 500 muskets, a huge gap was immediately swept out among the densely packed archers of the official army. As for the remaining archers, the stunning expressions of the brave and powerful covering their faces were directly replaced by panic and fear.

When the archers began to be massacred by the Salt Field defenders, the officers and musketeers and siege teams were not much better.

Faced with the order that there was no need to save ammunition, the six mortars were directly motivated and tilted the ammunition towards the official army's musket formation.

Along the line of the city wall, more than two hundred grenades with white smoke were instantly thrown down by the salt field defenders. The dense explosion sounded like firecrackers, and it sounded at the foot of the city wall.

Faced with the sudden smart counterattack of the Salt Field defenders, thousands of officials who were confident in this attack from top to bottom were shocked...

When they reacted from the shock and began to react, their colleagues were already lying on the battlefield in groups.

However, under the attack of sharp firearms such as grenades and explosive packs, the official army equipped with wallets cannot avoid the attack of grenade fragments no matter how they defend.

Especially the thousands of siege troops crowded at the foot of the city wall, under the joint attack of grenades and explosive packs, all of them exploded large areas... In a blink of an eye, the foot of the city wall was covered with a whole layer of corpses of the official army.

On the battlefield, not only the officers and soldiers who participated in the attack, who had just picked up a cup of tea and prepared to enjoy it, were also frightened by the sudden explosion.

The tea cup held in his hand fell to the ground due to shock. The hot tea water was directly scattered on his body. Zhu Dadian, who looked shocked, was awakened.

Then, he shouted to his subordinates, "What's going on? Didn't it mean that the salt field defenders no longer have these firearms available? Then what happened to these explosions? What's going on with the sudden burst of gunfire? What's going on..."

Zhu Dadian was full of doubts about the sudden accident in front of him, not to mention his subordinates.

Therefore, under Zhu Dadian's questioning, no one spoke. Everyone dared to get angry at this time and lead Zhu Dadian's anger to themselves.

As the explosions on the battlefield became more and more dense, the smoke from the explosion was almost about to cover the entire battlefield. A deputy general who was transferred by Zhu Dadian finally couldn't help but speak.

"Sir, I will think that the first thing we need to do is to withdraw the attacking soldiers and then think about the specific reasons..."

"Under the attack of firearms like the Salt Field Defender, our soldiers who participated in the attack did not even have any room for retaliation, and were almost committing suicide... If we do not withdraw them, we will be worried that they will lose all of them in this attack."

As a patrol patrol who was both literary and martial, and was trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Dadian's ability was absolutely unquestionable.

When he was reminded by his subordinates, he slowly regained his calmness, raised his telescope again, and began to pay attention to the battlefield, he immediately discovered the severity of the battle situation.

So, with a decisive personality, he immediately ordered: "Mingjin, Mingjin immediately withdraw his troops and withdraw all attacking troops..."

When the crisp sound of gold reached the ears of all the officials and soldiers on the battlefield, it also reached the ears of all the defenders on the salt field.

He Guozhong's eyes shot out two rays of light again, and the Chief of Staff, who was standing beside him, had already spoken and reminded him.

"Teacher Commander, the official army is ready to retreat..."

A sneer flashed through the corner of He Guozhong's mouth and said loudly: "Come on your mind and leave on your mind. What did Zhu Dadian treat our Tiger and Leopard Army as... Are the Chief of Staff, the attacking troops ready?"

The Chief of Staff nodded and affirmed: "One thousand soldiers, 250 of them were veterans we brought from Datong, 500 were our first batch of new recruits trained, and 250 were our second batch of new recruits trained..."

"These people all participated in the battles during the day and at night yesterday, and had seen blood and had at least one close-range battle with the government army. In this case, it would be absolutely no problem to rush out of the salt field to fight the government army to fight a good-winding battle."

"Teacher Commander, all of these thousand soldiers have gathered at the city gate. As long as you issue an order to attack, you can immediately defeat the official army outside the city, further expand the results of the battle, and weaken the strength of the official army outside the city."

"Very good..." He Guozhong, with a satisfied smile, ordered loudly.

"This general orders: the official army outside the city will attack the city, and as long as there are signs of retreat, they will go out of the city to fight back..."

"After the counterattack begins, at least more than a thousand officials and siege teams left at the foot of the city wall must be left on the battlefield."

"Retreat, retreat immediately..."

"The guards' arms are really amazing, retreat immediately..."

"If you don't retreat, you won't be able to leave..."

As all kinds of horror began to sound on the battlefield, the more than a thousand officials and soldiers remaining at the foot of the city wall seemed to suddenly lose their momentum, and they also rushed backwards.

Just when everyone was thinking of escaping from the battlefield as soon as possible, the city gate wrapped in iron was suddenly opened.

Then, a tiger and leopard army wearing wallets and holding a spear quickly rushed out of the salt field.
