Baiyin Tu also went up to the hill to watch the battle.
I saw that the northwest corner of Xiazhen's defense line was already boiling with water.
However, the two areas in the east, west, north and south were still silent. The Ming army stationed in these two areas and the Ming army sitting at the core of the defense line remained motionless.
Seeing this, Bai Yintu's face showed a slightly worried look.
Baiyintu is also a veteran who has experienced many battles, so he naturally knows that there are certain risks in sparing no effort and all-out attack like this.
If the Ming army is also mobilized and continues to invest its forces in the northwest region, then there will be no problem. The worst thing is that it will be a stalemate and it will ultimately depend on who can last.
The physical strength of the Eight Banners soldiers is still worthy of trust.
But now, the Ming army in other areas is standing still.
There is another possibility, that is, once the Qing army fails to attack and reaches a stalemate, the Ming army will most likely take the opportunity to outflank the enemy, which is very troublesome.
After all, he only has one Eight Banners soldier left.
As for the two Niu Lu's Zhenghuang Banner Han troops, not only their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the Eight Banners soldiers, but they also had to stay on the dock to guard the canals, which was of no use at all.
However, this worry only flashed through Baiyintu's mind.
Given the cowardice of the Ming army, they probably did not have the courage to take the initiative to fight in the field with the Qing soldiers.
At that moment, Baiyintu raised his binoculars again and cast his sights on the battlefield again.
…
At this time, it was already Shenzheng time, and a full hour and a half had passed since Jiannu launched his attack on the Xia Town defense line.
Jiannu has continuously broken through the eight-level gun platform,
It advanced more than a thousand steps towards the large gun platform at the center of Xia Town's defense line!
But it can be clearly felt that Jiannu's forward speed has gradually slowed down.
It only took Jiannu less than a quarter of an hour to break through the first perimeter turret, but it took more than a quarter of an hour to break through the second line of defense, and it took two quarters of an hour to break through the third line of defense.
The eighth line of defense, which had just been broken through, took nearly half an hour.
Obai was so tired that he could hardly breathe. Just now he personally led Yabulan and another white-armored soldier to take the lead in breaking into a gun platform in the eighth level and killed the Ming army.
However, Obai's physical strength is almost reaching its limit.
White-armored soldiers are also human beings, made of flesh and blood, and their physical abilities are also limited.
Wearing a triple armor weighing more than 80 kilograms, and carrying a large bow with a total weight of more than 20 kilograms, a saber, a one-handed hammer and fourteen three-edged heavy arrows, he advanced for more than a thousand steps.
(1.5 kilometers), in the middle you have to repeatedly climb a ten-foot-high wooden fence and fight to the death with the Ming army's spearmen.
Such an intense fight,
Physical replenishment simply cannot keep up with consumption.
It's useless even if you chew ginseng like a radish.
"Sir, I can't hold on any longer. Why don't you take a break and attack again?"
Yabulan was also extremely tired, and his chainmail and cotton armor were soaked with sweat.
"No, you must not rest. Once you rest, you will be even more unable to attack." Obai knew that he must not stop at this time. At this time, he could only fight all the way to the end with all his strength.
"Hold on, just hold on a little longer and you'll be fine."
"We are about to penetrate the Ming army's defense line!"
"Hey!" Yabulan responded, then turned around and shouted at the Eight Banners soldiers, Han soldiers and surrender soldiers behind him, "Qing warriors, have you seen the sun and moon flag in front of you?"
"That's the Ming Army's Zhongjun Dabu!"
"As long as the Ming army's Chinese camp is broken,"
"Cut off the great banner of the Chinese army and we will win!"
"The Qing Dynasty will be victorious!" the Eight Banners soldiers roared one after another.
Along with the roar, the Eight Banners soldiers, who had reached the end of their crossbow just now, miraculously regained some of their vigor and roared again to attack the gun platform on the ninth line of defense.
…
"Father, Jiannu has hit the ninth level gun platform!"
The ninth level gun platform is less than 600 steps away from the canal pier.
At such a close distance, you can already see vaguely without a telescope.
The torrent of murderous cries that Jian Nu made were like a demonic sound filling the ears of the two brothers, making them feel terrified.
Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but feel angry.
However, Zhu Cixiang was still able to keep his composure.
"It's not a big problem." Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Jiu Nu has reached the end of its war effort. They will soon be unable to attack. The ninth level gun platform will be their end."
"Really? That's great!" Zhu Cijiong was overjoyed when he heard this.
Zhu Cixiang also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that we can hold on again this time."
"Hold on? Xun'er, your request is too low." Chongzhen's eyes flashed coldly.
"Huh?" Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong cast surprised looks at Chongzhen at the same time. What did their father mean by this?
However, Chongzhen had already slid down the rope, and when he got down to the deck, he asked Wang Chengen to summon all the town's generals, deputy generals, guerrillas, and garrison generals.
Upon seeing this, Huang Degong quickly put away his tobacco pipe.
Soon, the ten town commanders, deputy commanders, guerrillas, garrison officers, and commanders all gathered on the ship, totaling more than a hundred people.
Chongzhen began to give pre-war lectures.
"In the past few days, I have heard a lot of people complaining."
"It is said that our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can only act like cowards. We were beaten at home by the slaves for almost ten days and did not dare to take the initiative to fight back even once. These are a group of eggless cowards!"
"I also know that you have all been holding back your anger."
"But I want to tell you that our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not cowards."
"The reason why we don't fight back is because the time has not yet come. When the time comes, this revenge will be avenged!"
"But now, the time for counterattack and revenge has come. When you go back, tell my words to the soldiers in every town. There is not a single coward in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Not fighting back when you are beaten, and swallowing your anger after suffering a loss, this is not the character of our Ming soldiers!"
"The character of my Ming Dynasty is that when I am beaten, I must fight back, and when I suffer a loss, I must take revenge. Even if it takes five years, ten years, or even a hundred years, I must take revenge!"
"The dignity of Ming Dynasty cannot be desecrated!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The emotions of more than a hundred senior generals were aroused by Chongzhen.
After a slight pause, Chongzhen shouted loudly: "Now I order you to return to the camp immediately and prepare for a counterattack. When you hear the Chinese army's trumpet, launch a full-scale counterattack! This time we must kill all the slaves! No one is allowed to let go!"
"
Kill all the Jiannu? The emotions of more than a hundred senior generals reached the peak at once.
How long had it been since they had heard such an exciting pre-war lecture?
"Kill all the Jiannu!" Chongzhen roared again, then raised his right hand and waved it forward vigorously.
"Kill all the Jiannu!" More than a hundred senior generals yelled and then dispersed.
After watching more than a hundred senior generals disperse, Chongzhen called Hu Guozhu to him again.
"Hu Guozhu, you should take a thousand Yiding along the west bank of Xiazhen New Canal and go around behind Jiannu."
"I believe that Jiannu still has a certain number of Eight Banners soldiers plundering the formation. Your task is to contain these Eight Banners soldiers and not allow them to join Jiannu who is trapped in the Xia Town defense line!"
"I accept the decree!" Hu Guozhu turned around and hurried away.
"Zheng Guerji!" Chongzhen said to Zheng Hongkui again.
"With all the Jiannu troops coming out this time, there won't be too many troops left at Taizhuang Pier."
"This is the best time to sneak attack on their ships. You will lead the navy to attack and destroy all Jiannu's ships in the shortest possible time! I want them to lose all their money!"
"I accept the decree!" Zheng Hongkui bowed his hands and shouted, "Set up the sails!"
The sailors of more than a dozen bird boats raised the main sail as quickly as possible. At the same time, the anchor at the bow of the ship was raised, and the two oars at the stern also began to stir the river water. The originally stationary warship began to move forward.
Seeing this scene, Chongzhen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Not surprisingly, we should be able to achieve a big victory this time.
…
On the hillock, Baiyintu had begun to struggle.
Years of battlefield experience constantly reminded him that the Eight Banners soldiers were now in great danger, and it was probably too late to withdraw the troops. If it was delayed any longer, the consequences would be worse.
Although the Eight Banners soldiers were still pushing forward tenaciously.
But Baiyintu could tell that the Eight Banners soldiers were almost at the end of their strength.
On the other hand, the Ming army did not even send reinforcements from other directions to reinforce it. The Ming army almost exhausted the energy of the Eight Banners soldiers by relying on the more than 100 blunderbuss captured by the Eight Banners soldiers.
It must be admitted that the defensive formation of the Ming army is really powerful.
Such a heavy blunderbuss weapon gives people the feeling that the fight will never be finished.
After finally knocking off one, there is another one in front of you. If you knock out another one, there is another one in front of you. This feeling is really despairing, suffocating, and too exhausting.
But if the troops were to be withdrawn like this, Baiyintu would not be reconciled.
If we can't win this battle, not only will we not be able to avenge the defeat of Anshan Town, but we will definitely be laughed at by bastards like Bahana when we go back, and Xiang Huangqi will become a laughing stock from now on.
Turning his head and glancing at the sun that was setting towards the horizon, Baiyintu thought to himself, attack for another half hour!
If within half an hour Oboi still cannot break through the Ming army's defenses, and still cannot completely defeat the Ming army, then it is better to withdraw the troops and become a laughing stock than to fall into a big fight.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a swan sound.
Hmm! This is? Baiyintu suddenly felt uneasy, the sound of the Ming army's horn?
Turning around suddenly, Baiyintu was a little surprised to find that groups of heavily armed Yiding had surged out from the edge of the canal in front of them on the right.
The Ming army reserved a channel on both sides of the canal.
The Ming army could pass through these passages, but the Eight Banners soldiers could not.
Because it will be flanked by the Ming Army's gun towers and Ming Army naval warships.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Yiding people poured out from the canal and began to form a formation.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yintu suddenly felt his eyes darken. The more he was afraid of something, the more likely it would come. He was worried that the Ming army might take advantage of the Eight Banners soldiers' physical exhaustion to launch a counterattack, and that was exactly what happened.
As for the thousand Yiding in front of them, they are obviously just the vanguard, responsible for restraining the Jia La in their hands.
The leader of the Ming army on the opposite side was obviously very capable, and he hit the Eight Banners soldiers' vital points with just one blow.
