Before Obai set off with a Niu Lu Eight Banners soldier, ten white-armored soldiers belonging to Niu Lu had already launched a large-scale raid on the outside of the battlefield.
But this time the white-armored soldiers missed the target.
From the beginning to the end, I never found a single Ming army that refused to surrender at night.
"Sir, there is not a single Ming army in the outer area who refuses to take back the troops at night!" Yabulan said with great disdain, holding a large bow, "They know that coming out at night will only lead to death, so they dare not come out."
"That's just right." Ao Bai said with a ferocious smile, "It's just right to kill these bright dogs by catching them off guard."
At that moment, Obai led more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers and quietly came to the back of the slope protection under the cover of night. They saw that the slope protection that had been dug by them during the day was filled with soil and compacted by the Ming army.
Obai glanced in the direction of the gun platform opposite, and found that it was pitch black on the opposite side, with no light of fire visible.
Seeing this, Obai frowned subconsciously. Why did he feel something was wrong? Ordinarily, the army should not be so careless. No matter what, they should light a few bonfires in the outer trenches, right?
Are you really not afraid that the Eight Banners warriors will come and steal the camp? It's too careless.
"Sir? Why does it feel like something is wrong?" Yabulan also noticed something was wrong.
Ao Bai became more and more uneasy. Even Yabulan, a newcomer, felt that something was wrong. There must be something wrong. However, the arrow was already on the string and he had to fire it. He could only adapt to the situation when the time came.
Anyway, it was night, and the Ming army's squatting cannon was not accurate.
Oboi comforted himself in his heart and climbed down the trench first.
Yabulan and a dozen other white-armored soldiers followed suit and climbed down.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Obai led his white-armored soldiers to clear the wooden piles and bamboo thorns in the area below, and then 300 Eight Banners soldiers poured into the trench like running water, without making a single abnormal sound during the whole process.
The military quality of Jiannu was really good.
However, just at this moment, a red lantern suddenly lit up in front.
"Lord Obai, lantern!" A sharp-eyed white-armored soldier pointed at the red lantern and shouted.
Seeing the red lantern, Oboi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Ming army was not completely defenseless. As long as they were prepared, it would be fine. The most terrifying thing was not being prepared, and the unknown was the scariest thing.
However, relying on lanterns to warn people would be too naive.
Oboi immediately ordered Yabulan: "Shoot the lantern!"
"Hey!" Yabulan agreed, and quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow.
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the red lantern about thirty steps away was immediately extinguished.
Aobai then led the Eight Banners soldiers to clear the bamboo thorns, followed the ditch, and surrounded the entire gun platform. He shouted, and hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers climbed onto the gun platform from all directions at the same time.
The whole process encountered no obstacles.
However, there was no one on the gun platform.
"Lord Obai, no Ming Gou was found!"
"Sir, no Minggu was found in the bunker!"
"Sir, a large pile of hay was found in the center of the gun platform."
The Eight Banners soldiers reported news to Obai one after another.
The uneasiness that disappeared in Obai's heart came back again.
What's going on? Why didn't a Ming army be found on the gun platform?
Could it be that the Ming army discovered them and ran away early?
But when Obai thought about it, he thought it was ridiculous. How could it be possible?
The two battles in Anshan Town and during the day were enough to prove that this Ming army still had a certain fighting capacity, and the possibility of collapse at the first touch was extremely slim.
This seems to be a trap for sure?
Reason told Obai that it was better to give up the plan of stealing the camp and wait for the day to attack openly.
But his emotions did not allow Obai to do this. If he really did nothing and just went back in despair, it would be embarrassing not only for him and Obai, but also for the entire Xianghuangqi.
From now on, the entire yellow flag will become a laughing stock.
Moreover, Obai also had a sense of luck in his heart.
So what if there are traps? Just be careful.
The powerful warriors of the Eight Banners can never be intimidated by mere conspiracy and tricks.
At that moment, Obai gritted his teeth and shouted: "Divide the troops into two groups and keep pushing forward! I want to see how long Mingguo can be a coward? If they have the ability, they will keep hiding and not show their faces!"
The 300 Eight Banners soldiers divided into two groups and rushed forward along the passage behind the gun platform.
Anyway, it has been discovered by the Ming army, so there is no need to cover it up anymore.
In less than half a cup of tea, Obai led 150 Eight Banners soldiers to rush to the next gun platform. As long as they crossed the 30-step wide trench, they could directly attack the gun platform.
"Attack!" Obai gave the order without hesitation.
Five white-armored soldiers holding large bows took the lead in charging.
The remaining red armored warriors, horse armor and infantry armor were busy clearing the sharp wooden stakes and bamboo thorns in the trench.
However, at this moment, a huge fire suddenly ignited on the gun platform in front, and the bright light suddenly illuminated the trenches around the gun platform as bright as day.
The Jian slaves crowded in the retreat passage were nowhere to be seen.
Obai and the dozens of Jiannu who entered the trench looked up quickly and saw that there were black bird muskets set up on the fence beside the musket platform, and there were a huge number of them, at least hundreds of them!
"So many blunderbuss?!" Obai couldn't help being surprised.
However, what was even more terrifying was yet to come. Almost at the same time as the fire was ignited, red flames violently spewed out from a row of shooting holes reserved on the fence of the gun stand.
What followed was a huge roar.
"Tiger Crouching Cannon!" Obai roared.
This wave is terrible, there are at least ten tiger crouching cannons!
Amidst the roar, a cannonball grazed Oboi's cheek, and sparks instantly bloomed on the cast iron bowl, and then there was a mournful cry behind him.
Turning around suddenly, he saw that the Eight Banners soldiers following him were already staggering around.
Many vests and infantrymen were already lying in a pool of blood, struggling and wailing.
This was not over yet, followed by the intensive "bang bang bang" sound of gunfire, but it was hundreds of bird cannons mounted on the wooden fence in front that fired violently at the same time.
This wave of firepower was mainly poured on the white-armored soldiers in front.
Although the white-armored soldier is wearing triple armor, it still hurts when he is hit by hundreds of lead bullets. One lead bullet is nothing, but dozens of lead bullets together are a huge force!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Amid the screams, the five white-armored soldiers fell to the ground.
"Get up and charge forward!" Obai was also extremely fierce and had not given up even at this time.
Amid Obai's loud roar, the five white-armored soldiers stood up one after another, and the Eight Banners soldiers crowded in the passage quickly stabilized their positions and prepared to continue clearing the wooden piles and bamboo thorns in the trench.
However, the Ming army did not give them a chance at all.
The first row of Ming Army musketeers finished firing their guns and quickly turned around and retreated.
Immediately afterwards, the second row of musketeers appeared behind the wooden fence and poured out another barrage of firepower on the five white-armored soldiers and dozens of Eight Banners soldiers who entered the trench.
The five white-armored soldiers fell to the ground again.
The red armored soldiers, vests and infantrymen who entered the trench suffered heavy casualties.
What made Obai feel even more suffocated was that the Ming army on the gun platform in front did not seem to reload the squatting tiger cannon, but directly replaced a dozen already loaded squatting tiger cannons!
For the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the cannon change speed is faster!
The Ming army gunner was hammering iron drills into the ground.
When Ao Bai saw this, his heart suddenly lifted.
Fix the tiger's claws with an iron solder, and more than a dozen squatting tiger cannons can be fired again!
"Back up quickly!" Aobai roared with eyes split open, "Back up, back up quickly, back up quickly!"
After shouting a few words, Obai grabbed a convulsing Hongya La who was lying on the ground and retreated into the passage. The five white-armored soldiers who had just gotten up also quickly took the injured or killed Eight Banners soldiers back.
By this moment, everyone understood that the stolen camp had failed.
However, no one in Jiannu, including Obai, realized that the suffering had just begun.
Not long after Ao Bai led the frightened Eight Banners soldiers back into the passage, more than a dozen squatting tiger cannons from the gun platform in front opened fire again, pouring dense lead bullets into the passage.
Especially the 30-pound bullet, which will really shatter the limbs of the victim.
The effective range of the Tiger Crouching Cannon exceeds 300 steps, and its lethality within 150 steps is still extremely impressive.
The dozen or so Eight Banners soldiers who were at the back screamed and fell to the ground, including a white-armored soldier who was hit in the chest by a muzzle-loading bullet and was directly shattered.
However, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers finally passed through the passage and entered the trench of the gun platform outside.
At this time, Yabulan also led another group of slaves to retreat from another passage to the trench outside.
Seeing that Yabulan's beggar had a small piece deflated and the tassel on his head disappeared, Obai knew that Yabulan had also suffered a loss, and thought that it looked like another big fight would happen tonight.
"Yablan, how many people were killed or injured on your side?"
"I don't know, but it will definitely not be less than fifty."
"Damn it, where did these smart dogs come up with so many tricks?"
"Yeah, Minggou is so cunning, it's really hard to guard against."
The two groups of slaves thought they were safe, and while they were taking a breath, the night sky on the left and right sides suddenly lit up, and then the deafening sound of cannon fire came over them.
"You're still here?!" Obai's eyes widened suddenly.
"Is it over yet?" Yabulan also had a horrified expression on his face.
Then, under the horrified eyes of more than two hundred slaves, countless "invisible" lead particles suddenly poured down from the night sky on the left and right sides like a heavy rain.
Jiannu, who thought he was safe, was beaten again.
All of a sudden, the trench was filled with tragic wails one after another.
Aobai and Yabulan also received a lot of lead blows on their bodies, which made a clanging sound and made both of their heads stunned.
It was also at this time that Obai and Yabulan finally understood that night had no effect on the Ming army at all, and the Ming army's Crouching Tiger Artillery could still hit the target area accurately.
"Retreat quickly! Evacuate the Ming army's formation, retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
Accompanied by Obei's hysterical roar, more than two hundred slaves retreated in embarrassment.
It only took about half an hour from the time Jiannu quietly sneaked into the Ming army's defense line to the time he retreated in panic. However, Aobai and the others experienced a nightmarish half hour and were completely defeated.
Tonight's stolen camp was a complete failure.
It seemed that every step was planned by the Ming army.
