In the dark night, shining trails passed through the sky from time to time and fell into the Ming army camp in the distance.

Compared with the Ming army, the Han army still has great advantages in equipment.

Just like this gunpowder, the Han army could use it at will, but the Ming army could not. They could only save it and use it on the knife handle.

After all, there is a huge gap in financial resources between the two sides. Although it means that the army is not a beggar army like Zuo Liangyu, it must not squander expensive gunpowder like the Han army.

In the Ming army camp, soldiers put out the tents lit by the rockets, and couldn't help but spit out, cursing: "Damn it, I can't shoot correctly, I'll shoot your mother!"

The rockets used by the Han army can range from two miles to a range. If the scouts are outside the camp, they can shoot into the Ming army camp.

This thing has no accuracy, and the fate depends entirely on luck. In fact, it cannot cause much substantial damage to the Ming army.

However, I am afraid that if everything is happening, the rockets that fall from time to time will not be able to fall asleep at all, and I am afraid that the camp will be ignited by the rockets after falling asleep.

The soldiers of the Ming army cursed, but they were envious of the Han army being able to use nearly a thousand rockets and ignite several camps.

"What a fucking waste!" The Ming soldiers touched the gunpowder pot that was not much left on their bodies, looked up at the rockets running around, and were extremely jealous.

When the Han army attacked rockets, Zheng Chenggong naturally would not sit still and wait for death. The Ming army was not as generous as the Han army, but there were also solutions.

In the dark night, Ming soldiers went out of the camp and eliminated the scouts of the Han army, and sent elite squads to touch the Han army camp, ringing gongs and drums, shaking flags and shouting, and harassing the Han army camp.

Zhao Ming was wearing armor and stood in the camp. Nearly ten thousand soldiers gathered together. Zhao Ming waved his hand with a calm face, and several elite Han troops left the camp to drive away and search the Ming army that was harassing in the dark.

The Han army and the Ming army had several small-scale night battles outside the camp, and finally drove the Ming army scouts to the outside of the camp.

While the two armies were harassing each other, the Han army of the four battalions had already assembled in the camp.

These four battalions are different from the New Army. They are all well-dressed in iron armor and disc helmets, and are killer camps mainly composed of cold weapons.

Zhao Ming walked over with a clang of armor and sword, inspected more than 10,000 soldiers, and then began to speak, "Soldiers, Baohua Mountain and Tangshan are the keys to this battle! If the army wants to drive directly to Nanjing, it must take these two support points! Whether to establish unparalleled achievements, end the world's turmoil, or go into exile overseas, it depends on this battle!"

After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he took off his helmet and bent down suddenly, "You guys, please!"

Nearly 10,000 soldiers knelt on one knee and roared in a low voice, "I wish to die for the king!"

Zhao Ming then straightened up and whispered: "Go away!"

The south gate of the camp quietly opened, and 12,000 soldiers went out overnight, interspersing between Gaozi and Maoshan, and running towards Baohua Mountain and Tangshan.

~~~~~~~

At dawn, the night is getting thicker.

After a night of rapid march, Han general Li Qisheng and Han general Zhang Guangcui each led two battalions of troops, more than 6,000 people, and touched Baohua Mountain and the foot of Tangshan.

Under the dark night, black figures were lying on the foot of the mountain. If you don’t get close to it, it will be difficult to detect it at all.

At this time, several corpses of Ming army secretly blew in front of Li Qisheng. He looked up at Tangshan. The Ming army obviously realized the importance of the two mountains, with thousands of soldiers surrounding the mountains and blocking.

Looking at the torches flashing in the Ming Village on the mountain, the patrolling fire dragons wandering on the walls of the village, with extremely strict defense, Li Qisheng frowned and waved, "Go!"

Nearly a thousand pioneers were wielding a sword and crossbow, climbing upwards with their waists, while the remaining soldiers watched with nervous expressions, and their comrades slowly approached the camp.

And at this moment, a "boom" sounded loudly in front of him, and a white light burst out, and the bodies of the two Han soldiers were instantly thrown away.

"My mother, it's a cannon!" Li Qisheng cursed angrily, jumped up, and immediately roared: "Follow me!"

The bombing of cannons is a "land mine". It first appeared in the Song Dynasty. When the Jin army attacked Shanzhou, the Song army used the "gunpowder cannons" buried on the ground to win the Jin army with major damage.

In the early Ming Dynasty, landmines that truly use mechanical fire-ignition devices appeared. The book "Fire Dragon Sutra" written by Jiao Yu included: "Fall and iron cast, empty-handed, put medicine and pestle in a small bamboo tube, penetrate the fire line inside, use long-line to penetrate the fire trough, choose the enemy's way, and dozens of times buried in the pit, the medicine trough is connected to the steel wheel and the soil covers it, so that the thief does not know, step on the engine, shake up, the iron blocks are like flying, and the flames soar into the sky."

When Qi Jiguang was stationed in Jizhou, he created a landmine with "steel wheels fired" and used the enemy to step on the motive cable. The steel wheel rotated and rubbed violently with the flint and fired, causing the mine to detonate.

From this we can see that the so-called "While Westerners have gunpowder, they make all kinds of guns and cannons; while the Chinese invent gunpowder, they only know how to make firecrackers." This is because there is no deep scrutiny, which is not only unfair to our ancestors, but also tramples on national dignity.

When the Han soldiers saw that the front army stepped on the bombing cannons, they exposed the army's actions, they immediately roared and jumped up, and charged directly at Mingzhai.

In the mountain village, the Ming army camp was in an uproar. Countless soldiers picked up muskets and rushed to the wall of the village. The muzzle poked out from the shooting hole and aimed at the Han army climbing with a shield.

"Let me go!" The Ming army general roared loudly.

Nearly a thousand muskets extended out of the perforation hole of the wall. Amid the "bang bang" sound, the guns were gushing, causing the Han army's shield to splash, and dozens of Han army soldiers screamed and rolled down the hillside.

When a fierce battle broke out in Tangshan, at the foot of Baohua Mountain, the Han general Zhang Guangcui attacked the Ming army stationed in the mountain village almost at the same time.

Zhang Guangcui's troops were lucky enough to not step on the Ming army's bombing artillery. The soldiers touched the foot of the village wall and were discovered by the patrol guards. The six thousand Han troops immediately launched a fierce attack, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Gaozi, Yanping Wang Formation.

At dawn, the camps on both sides were awakened by the explosions and cannons vaguely coming from the direction of Tangshan and Baohua Mountain.

In the tent of Wang Shuai Yanping, Zheng Chenggong was in the tent of the central army. His personal guards helped him put on a piece of gold-painted armor and put his pants on his head steadily.

Last night, the Han army's rocket harassment did not stop. Zheng Chenggong ordered the soldiers to ignore the harassment and rest with peace of mind, but in fact he himself did not sleep all night.

However, at this time, he was not tired at all, and was extremely excited.

At this time, General Gan Hui picked up the tent and said, "Your Highness, the Han army raided Tangshan and Baohua Mountain!"

Zheng Chenggong looked calm. The battle of hundreds of thousands of people was a decisive battle under the terrain that both sides were familiar with. Both sides could calculate their respective strategies, which was compared with the combat power of the soldiers on both sides, as well as the ability to execute and complete the formulation of strategies.

Zheng Chenggong deployed troops in both places, and it was impossible to draw or change the deployment at will, so he waved: "Don't worry, act according to the plan."

Han King Formation.

The Han army attacking one side had to wake up earlier than the Ming army.

At this time, it was still dark, but as the army began to make fires and make meals, the camp had become a sea of ​​lights.

In the Han army camp, the sound of war drums and trumpets spread, and the soldiers of each battalion woke up from their sleep, and the day of the decisive battle came.
