out of the total 7,008 flag soldiers, less than half had already fallen when they charged to a hundred meters.
However, they were experienced in many battles. Even when they saw people falling down around them, they still did not stop. Instead, they accelerated hard, trying to rush to the foot of the diamond fort with flying bullets.
But by the time they rushed to the foot of the diamond fort, only the small centaur was left.
This is because Fang Puyu asked the soldiers to slow down their firing rate. Otherwise, their entire army would have been wiped out early.
But at this time, facing the tall Lingbao, the Qing soldiers were dumbfounded.
How to get up there?
These diamond forts were only five or six meters higher than the ground, but just these five or six meters left the Qing army with nothing to do.
Withdrawing in despair?
impossible!
The leader of the Qing army, gritted his teeth and poked at the wall of the Lingbao with his knife, trying to make a few holes for him to climb up.
But at this time, the infantrymen on the diamond fort pointed their guns downward one after another. At such a distance, it was not a legend to shoot one at a time.
Due to the angle, even if the Qing troops wanted to shoot with bows and arrows, it would be difficult for them to hit the enemies on the Lingbao.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Hauge's expression changed.
They lost between four and five thousand and eight banner soldiers in one breath. It can be said that such battle losses were almost non-existent since entering the Pass.
He made history.
Even though he was heartbroken, Hauge was not slow to respond, and immediately asked the following Qing troops to follow up with various equipment.
Although most of them are carriages and carts transporting food, considering that the height of the diamond fort is only a little, you should be able to climb up while standing on the carriage.
But after more than 10,000 Qing troops followed up, Xinghai Kingdom's artillery roared.
The first wave of artillery shells directly blew the red artillery position in front into ruins, and the second wave of artillery shells blew up the more than 10,000 Qing troops who followed.
At this time, not only the Qing troops who were following immediately turned around and fled for their lives, but even the Qing troops piled under the Lingbao could not continue and could only escape.
But this time, those Xinghai infantrymen had no intention of letting them go. One by one, after aiming their guns at them, the trigger was pulled, and with a bang, one Qing army staggered down, and with a snap, another one fell down.
Staggered and fell.
Easy as shooting training.
When the gunfire stopped, Qing army corpses could be seen everywhere from the starting point of the Qing army to Lingbao, a distance of several hundred meters.
After losing the first battle, Hauge was so angry that he threw his wine glass.
As mentioned before, Hauge had a violent personality and failed in the first battle, so he immediately decided to carry out a night attack.
After all, in his opinion, although the weapons of the Xinghai Kun thieves are sharp, at night, they can’t even see anyone, so how can you fight them?
That night, Haug formed a night attack team. Taking advantage of the dark clouds at 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening, when everyone was asleep, he quietly took the siege equipment towards the Lingbao.
The process during this period does not need to be described too much.
They were still defeated. Before they could get close to the diamond fort, several flash bombs were fired into the sky, and then they staggered down with a parachute. The ground around them was illuminated as bright as snow.
Those night raiders didn’t even have a chance to escape, so they were all beaten to death in front of the fort.
After being defeated twice in a row, Hauge suddenly became much calmer.
Although the Qing government sent an angel over and ordered them to march quickly to exterminate the traitors.
But Hauge didn’t pay attention to the so-called imperial edict at all, but waited patiently.
Anyway, there is no shortage of military rations here, and Hauge doesn't have to worry about the food channel being cut off, so he can take his time.
Until five days later, dark clouds gathered, and sporadic raindrops began to fall from the morning, and Haug immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle.
At noon, the rain suddenly became heavier. At this time, Haug immediately ordered the 30,000 generals who were prepared to attack!
After waiting for so many days, it’s finally here!
Feeling the cold rain hitting his face randomly, Hauge not only did not feel cold, but was extremely excited. He mounted his horse and stood in front of the formation, watching his soldiers rush forward.
Of course, Hauge had no idea that the Xinghai Rifle was not a matchlock gun or a flintlock gun that could not be used when it rained. Instead, it used full-metal bullets from later generations.
Although it is a little less powerful because of the propellant, it is by no means comparable to a matchlock or flintlock gun, and it is not afraid of rainy days at all.
If you don’t take into account the sediment filled into the barrel, even if it is soaked in the river, it will not affect the shooting.
Because of this misunderstanding, Brother Hao was anxious to remove the nails stuck in the Xinghai Kingdom here. When Brother Hao ordered the assault, he was thinking about what would happen after his victory.
What should I do?
Is he going back to Beijing to fight back, wearing a yellow robe?
Or lead the army away from the capital and separatist forces?
There is no doubt that both options have their own advantages and disadvantages.
And if you lead your army far away from the capital and separatize one side, you can only take away your own Zhenglan Banner army.
After Hauge was imprisoned, the Zhenglan Banner was weakened a lot by other flag owners.
In other words, not many troops will be taken away, and it is very likely that the Qing government will declare it a rebellion and be surrounded and suppressed by a large army.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to resist the power of a country with the power of one army.
There is only one person in history who succeeded in doing this.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di!
However, before he became emperor, he was almost defeated and died.
Thinking of this, the hesitation in Hauge’s character became apparent.
Of course, even if he is decisive, it is of no use.
Because when the 30,000 Qing troops charged through in the rain, the 150mm cannon on the rear side of the fortress fired first, setting off waves of mud, rain, broken limbs, and broken legs in the dense crowd.
The sound of gunshots also rang out from various lozenges, and the machine guns mounted high up also started clicking, and the grenades deployed everywhere were also fired one after another.
The dense hail of bullets and falling artillery shells instantly shattered the Qing army's formation.
Seeing this scene, Haug was so angry that he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse. The guards around him were so shocked that they hurried forward and sent Hauge back to the camp after he fell off his horse.
The commander was so angry that he vomited blood and fell from his horse. There is no doubt that this had a huge impact on the morale of the Qing army. Coupled with the remnants of the soldiers who were beaten by the bombing and fled, the Qing army did not collapse directly at this time.
He is determined.
Fortunately, even though Hauge spurted out a mouthful of blood, he didn't get sick from anger.
However, as soon as he was counted after the war, his originally pale face turned extremely dark.
