Chapter 1080 Loss of Confidence

The Zhou army artillery team worked hard to transport it, but before they could fire a shot, they were covered by Ming army artillery and directly destroyed.

This made Zhou Jun instantly stunned. Even the generals of the Ming army were surprised, and their faces were filled with laughter.

"Regent, Wu Sangui must be angry to death!" Jin Shenghuan smiled and said, "Today's attack is probably going bad again."

The Zhou army was preparing for two days, and the battle was over before it even started.

Zhao Ming smiled, "I have more things to teach him."

The Ming army's continuous improvement of the flowering bullets and the progress of weapons will inevitably bring about changes in the way of combat.

Now the Zhou army is not good at launching, and there are fewer cannons to bombard Tucheng and suppress the Ming army.

Zhao Ming and the generals of the Ming army thought that the Zhou army was going to stop attacking, but at this moment, the Zhou army opposite buzzed up, and the large group of Tubang troops rushed towards the Ming army camp.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming frowned, "Wu Sangui is so angry that he still wants to attack."

"Regent, go down to the city! Leave the rest to me!" Jin Shenghuan said hurriedly.

Seeing that the Zhou army still chose to attack strongly when they lost artillery support, the Ming army soldiers were all surprised.

Although this kind of attack was just a meaningless death for the Ming army and could not threaten the Ming army's defense line, for the sake of safety, the generals still asked Zhao Ming to go down the city.

After all, as the regent of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to make mistakes. In the war, guns and cannons are blinded. If they are hit by stray bullets, they will not only be shaken by the army, but also the entire Ming Dynasty will be affected.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming did not persist and told the soldiers to kill the enemy alive and die, so he first stepped down the city wall.

At this time, tens of thousands of Tubang soldiers, pushing shield chariots and carrying large shields, and some people hid in the cave house, holding various equipment, and rushing towards the Ming army camp in exaggeratedly.

Seeing this, Jin Shenghuan couldn't help but rub his hands, and waved his hands excitedly, "The army is ready!"

The Tumen had a large number of soldiers, probably because they were scared by the Ming army's flowering bullets, so they did not form a dense formation, but scattered and rushed towards the Ming army camp.

The enemy's formation was loose, and tens of thousands of people were scattered in the wilderness, which made the Ming army look in and only lifted the enemy all over the mountains and fields, with a huge momentum.

After two days of preparation, the Tubang Army's offense was undoubtedly much more professional than the first attack.

Their shield chariot was pushed in front, providing excellent defense for the soldiers behind. The Ming army's muskets hit the shield chariot, and sparks were splashing everywhere, but they rarely penetrated, causing no damage to the Tubang army behind.

The shield cart is a thing that is outside the pass, and when attacking the Ming army formation, it likes to use it very much. Even if there is a shield cart, the Qing army cannot fight.

The Guanning Army had fought with the Qing army for a long time, so naturally they often used shield cars.

These shield cars have large shields in front, or wooden boards in front of the car, covered with leather, wet quilts or iron sheets. They are very tough and can defend against bows and arrows and muskets.

The Tubang Army hurriedly made a move and spread it on the wooden board with a wet quilt, which actually blocked the Ming army's bullets.

In the wilderness, there were soldiers who were pushing shield chariots in front of each shield chariot, followed by nearly a hundred soldiers carrying trench bridges.

Tubang soldiers lined the shield chariot into a moving wall and slowly advanced towards the camp. The soldiers behind them held bows and arrows and weapons, bent over and approached the Ming camp. The "bang bang bang" projectile hit the shield chariot, which made them extremely nervous.

On the Tucheng City, the Ming army's bronze cannons could actually be smashed with one shot and the musket could not be shot through. However, the Ming generals stopped the shooting of the bronze cannons and wanted to put the enemy closer before firing.

Judging from the experience last time, the enemy's will is not strong and he will suffer a slight setback.

In order to eliminate more enemy troops, the Ming army decided to let him get closer first in order to kill more enemy troops.

At this time, amid the sporadic gunfire, the Tubang soldiers finally approached the first trench outside the earth wall.

The trench was three zhang wide and one zhang deep. The shield chariot could not move forward. The soldiers could only form a shield wall along the trench, and the soldiers hid behind the shield wall.

At this time, they wanted to attack the earth wall. The bows and arrows in their hands crossed three trenches and landed in front of the earth wall, and they could not shoot the Ming army on the earth wall at all.

This left the Tumen soldiers helpless, and the officers could only order the soldiers to break out of the shield wall, build trench bridges, and launch a charge towards the Ming army.

At this time, the trench bridge was on the first trench, and soldiers rushed past the trench bridge. At this moment, Jin Shenghuan ordered coldly, "Battle! Beat me hard!"

The bronze cannons on the earthen wall opened fire one after another, and iron bullets roared with the white smoke rising from the earthen wall.

The Ming army musketeers on the earth wall waited for the earthen soldiers to rush out of the shield chariot and were exposed, and they also fired their guns together to greet them.

In an instant, the Tubang soldiers on the trench bridge were shot, fell down the trench, and were pierced by spikes and wooden stakes. The shield chariot that the musket failed to penetrate was torn to pieces in front of the iron bullets fired by the bronze cannon, like paper-paste, and was torn to pieces by one shot.

Modibi bent over and behind a shield car, suddenly there was a loud bang on the earth wall, and a black iron ball rushed out of white smoke and shot at him.

Before Modibi could react, he heard a "bang" sound, and the shield car suddenly exploded, and the iron ball wrapped in countless wood chips swept across the country behind the car.

The shield chariot was broken, and the soldiers behind lost their cover and immediately became the target of the Ming army's musketeers.

On the earth wall, the Ming army unscrupulously shot and killed the Tubang soldiers who rushed out of the shield wall. Before they could cross the trench bridge, they were shot and fell into the ditch. The soldiers fell like dumplings, and the trench was covered with layers of corpses.

Faced with the firepower net of Ming army muskets and artillery, the Tubang soldiers suffered heavy losses, and they, who were already weak in will, could obviously not bear such casualties.

After another volley, the Tubang soldiers began to roll and crawl back.

Seeing the enemy fleeing, Jin Shenghuan pulled out his battle knife on the earthen wall and roared, "Kill me!"

The Ming army soldiers lowered the camp gate, and a large number of soldiers rushed out of the earth wall with their guns, and brutally chased the enemy.

Modierbi sat on the ground with a pale face. Several soldiers wanted to help him up, "Sir, retreat quickly!"

Modibi shook his head. He had had enough and did not want to escape. After Wu Sangui sent him to the front line to die.

At this time, a team of Ming troops set up a trench bridge, rushed out of the trench, raised their bayonets, and shouted loudly at the soldiers who had no time to retreat, "Surrender and don't kill!"

Modierbi and many other local soldiers were too lazy to escape and gave up resistance, "We surrender! We surrender!"

Under the Zhou army's big flag, Wu Sangui's face turned pale. He looked at many soldiers and actually surrendered to the Ming army. His muscles were pulled on his face, and then he pulled the reins and went back to the camp.
