"Cha!" The five hundred Manchu and Qing cavalrymen moved in unison, knelt on one knee and stood in a formation, shouting in unison.

The short response was filled with anger, unwillingness, and tragedy!

No one is a fool. These are all veterans of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They know that even if the Ming army has just arrived at the city and has not yet established a stable foothold, the artillery position is the key to attacking the city. The Ming army will never be careless and must be prepared. From the top of the city, it seems that the current artillery position is not heavily guarded. But these Manchu veterans knew that the Ming troops guarding the artillery positions were definitely elite!

This time we go out to fight in the city, it is a fight to the death! Basically, no one can return to the city after leaving this city gate. But for the future of the Qing Dynasty, for the survival of the Qing Dynasty, personal life and death no longer matter!

They got on their horses, straightened their helmets, and checked their weapons and equipment again. Then, the five hundred cavalrymen raised their heads and chests, and just watched the gatekeepers open the city gate without squinting.

Amin, who was on the top of the city, looked at all this and felt very distressed. These are the most elite soldiers he can control, but now, he personally ordered them to die! If possible, he really didn't want to give this order.

However, if they do not make a decisive decision and use their strongest troops to complete this thunderous strike, the Ming army will never be able to give them a second chance. For the future of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible not to sacrifice these elites!

With this in mind, he watched the five hundred cavalrymen begin to control their horses and prepare to leave the city, feeling sorry for these elites. If it were the past, at least I could offer them a glass of practice wine, throw a glass to build momentum, or something like that. But now, with the Ming army's continuous destruction, how could there be such a precious thing as wine? It's not impossible to replace wine with water, but time doesn't allow it.

Thinking of this, Amin suddenly felt an impulse from the bottom of his heart, and immediately shouted loudly to the five hundred cavalrymen under the city: "In the future, during New Years and holidays, Benbeile will personally burn paper money for you and toast you with wine!"

His voice was a bit loud, almost like a roar. The excitement is beyond words. The five hundred cavalrymen looked up when they heard the sound. Seeing the commander like this, they all had the same excited expression. Each of them held a weapon in their hands. They didn't reply. They just looked at the commander deeply, then withdrew their gaze, lowered their bodies, and crossed their legs. Lifting the horse's belly, he drove the horse out of the city gate that opened slowly but not completely.

Amin immediately turned around and walked quickly back to the outer city wall. He wanted to watch the five hundred elite Qing warriors use their lives and blood to destroy the Ming army's artillery positions and fight for a glimmer of hope for the future of the Qing Dynasty! At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Bang the drum to cheer us up, let's go strong!"

The guards around him heard this and immediately sent the order. At the moment when the cavalry rushed out of the city gate, there was a "dong dong dong" sound of war drums. More than ten drums were beaten at the same time. The sound shook the sky and was as loud as thunder. Go straight to the heart of everyone on the battlefield.

On the top of the city, other soldiers naturally saw the 500 cavalry gathering at the bottom of the city. They also placed the highest expectations on them, hoping that the most elite white-armored soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Bagala, could bring victory to the Qing Dynasty as before. ! Each of them held their breath, nervously watching the battle that was about to take place outside the city. When they heard the strong sound of the war drums, everyone became excited again, their blood boiled, and they wished they could go out of the city to fight with the cavalry.

Outside the city, the artillery battalion belonged to the New Army, and its commander immediately saw the opened city gate and the traces of Manchu cavalry. When he heard the thundering drum beat, not only did he not panic, but a sneer appeared on his face.

In the training of the new army, this situation has been practiced many times. Everyone from the commander to the ordinary soldiers knows exactly what to do, and there is no need for the commander to give orders.

The infantrymen in charge of the sidecars immediately pushed the sidecars onto the sidecars. The wheels rolled, and immediately stopped about ten feet in front of the artillery position. There were hooks between each other. In the blink of an eye, there was a line of sidecars. obstacle. It is simply impossible for a war horse to jump over this sidecar.

Not only that, there are also pre-loaded Fran machine cannons on this sidecar. Each mother cannon has seven or eight sub-guns waiting beside it. The artilleryman who specialized in operating the Fran cannon squatted on the side car, looked straight ahead, and waited quietly.

On the back side of the sidecar, there are rows of fusiliers, filling the gap at the muzzle, with flintlock guns held flat, also looking ahead, waiting quietly. There was also a group of archers, all good at rapid fire, standing guard at the outermost edge of the sidecar.

When it comes to defense, the Central Plains Dynasty has always used endless methods, and the number of methods can make the barbarians stunned. The real firearms defense position was assembled extremely quickly in just a moment.

The Manchu and Qing Dynasties naturally knew how to deal with the Ming army's firearms. Their carriages were impenetrable to guns and arrows, and they made great contributions in many battles with the Ming army. In a major military town like Liaoyang, there are naturally some standing vehicles. If we follow the usual practice, the Manchu and Qing armies will usually dispatch carriages and launch a charge under the cover of cavalry.

However, this time the Manchus and Qing troops left the city in order to gain time and rush into the artillery positions before the Ming army could react. If we use a carriage, the speed is too slow, and Ming troops from all directions may be surrounding us before we get close to the artillery position. It was also for this reason that Amin sent out the only cavalry troops he had.

The city gate was not far from the artillery position. The five hundred Manchu and Qing cavalry troops immediately began to accelerate as soon as they left the city gate, using the fastest speed to increase the speed of their horses to the maximum. With their elite abilities, it is naturally very easy. They believed that they could rush into the Ming army's artillery position in just a moment, and even if they died, they could crash into the artillery camp.

For this reason, the front line of the Jianlu cavalry were all heavily armored. They could withstand the Ming army's long-range weapons for a while. When they crashed into the Ming army's artillery camp, even if they died, they would be killed by their weight. Ming dog.

However, as soon as they ran past, they discovered that a wooden city wall quickly appeared in front of them, blocking the Ming army's artillery position behind it. It has become an impossible task for them to directly attack the Ming army's artillery positions.

At this moment, the five hundred Manchu and Qing cavalry troops were almost in despair whenever they saw the wooden city wall!

The speed of the war horse has reached its maximum, and it cannot stop even if it wants to, because it is followed by a war horse running at the same high speed. Fortunately, this wooden city wall is not wide, and it just covers the artillery position.

When the leader of the Manchu and Qing cavalry saw this, Amin's shout flashed through his mind: This is a national war, and it is related to the future of the Qing Dynasty. Whether the Qing Dynasty can have a future depends on whether Liaoyang can be defended, and whether Liaoyang can be defended depends on whether the Ming army's artillery positions can be destroyed!

Without any further hesitation, he immediately pulled the reins slightly, controlled the horse to run through an arc, tried to bypass the wooden city wall, and continued to launch a desperate attack on the Ming army's artillery position.

Probably because of his sight, he didn't see the specific situation behind the wooden city wall, but Amin on the top of Liaoyang City could basically see clearly. He is also a veteran who is used to fighting. He knows the outcome of the war just by looking at it! This has nothing to do with whether the five hundred warriors of the Qing Dynasty are willing to die, and it has nothing to do with whether the five hundred warriors of the Qing Dynasty are brave enough. Because, under the arrangement of the Ming army and the configuration of firepower, their flesh and blood bodies are just scum!

At this time, it was already impossible for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Amin could only watch helplessly as the moths rushed towards the fire pit fearlessly. At this time, he was in great pain, but he still refused to close his eyes. These great men are all good people, and the scene of them sacrificing their lives for the country must be deeply engraved in our minds.

At this time, Amin suddenly found that the sound of the drum had weakened, and was no longer as powerful as it had been before. He understood that it should be the drummer behind him who also saw the reason for the scene of moths flying into the flame outside the city.

Amin didn't know why, but suddenly he became furious. He turned around a few steps and walked up to a drummer behind him. He avoided the drumsticks with his hands and started beating with all his strength. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty died generously, how could they not be accompanied by joy?

The ordinary Manchu soldiers on the city wall looked at the scene outside the city, ranging from expectation to despair, and finally were called back to their senses by the thundering drums again. Each one of them held the weapons in their hands tightly and raised their eyebrows. Desperate but helpless!

Also listening to the sound of drums coming from the head of Liaoyang City, I saw the Manchu and Qing cavalry rushing out of the city. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, was a little worried. When he turned to look at the new army division general, Cao Bianjiao guessed what he was thinking and said with a little pride in his smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhongcheng, the new army is the strongest!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at each other and smiled at division supervisor Feng Dehua. Both of their faces were filled with confidence and a hint of pride. The emperor has given the new army sufficient conditions and has conducted various drills many times. If the Manchus can still rush into the artillery position, it is better to be killed headlong.

"Boom, boom, boom" sound of artillery sounded just as the Manchu and Qing cavalry exposed their flanks. Smoke rose into the sky, and the Fran cannon filled with countless lead bullets and iron fragments flashed with fire. A large barrage immediately covered the front.

Or the men and horses of the Manchu and Qing cavalry were heavily armored and had strong defensive capabilities. However, under the rain of bullets ejected from the Fran machine cannons, there were always places that those heavy armors could not cover. Suddenly, with the cannons, As soon as the sound was heard, the neat and orderly ranks of the Manchu and Qing cavalry were like broken sieves. The men turned their backs on the ground, and with just one round of shooting, not a single one of the Manchu and Qing cavalry in front was left alive.

Among all artillery, the Fran cannon has the fastest re-firing speed because of its molecular mother gun, as long as the child guns are loaded in advance. However, in the face of the cavalry charge, even the speed of the Fran machine gun seemed a bit slow.

However, during this interval, flintlock guns opened fire, and there were even a few gunshots fired during this period. The flintlock gun at this time does not require shooting accuracy. After one person shoots, he immediately stretches the flintlock gun back to get a loaded flintlock gun and continues shooting.

At the same time, the front line of the Manchu and Qing cavalry troops fell over, temporarily blocking the road ahead. The Manchu and Qing cavalry soldiers behind them had to reduce their horse speed to avoid being tripped by the corpses of the men and horses in front of them. And these happened to encounter the hail of bullets from the flintlock guns. Under the cover of the dense flintlock guns, a new round of Franco machine guns began a new round of shelling again.

Despite this, all the Manchu and Qing cavalry did not flinch. Following the direction of their comrades in front, they still charged without fear of death, trying to break through the hail of bullets, break through the obstruction, and attack the Ming artillery position not far from them.

However, history has proven that flesh and blood cannot stop the tearing of firearms. After several rounds of artillery fire, the smoke dissipated, and in front of the Ming army's position, the ground was covered with corpses of men and horses. The body of the Manchu and Qing cavalry soldiers closest to the Ming army's artillery position was still more than thirty feet away. From beginning to end, the gunners on the Ming army's artillery positions seemed not to have seen the short battle in front of them, and were just busy setting up the artillery positions.

On top of Liaoyang City, Amin lowered his drumming hand, and the drumstick in his hand fell to the ground. He shouted for hot water in his eyes, staring at the large area covered with flesh and blood outside the city. He could see that there were still wounded Qing warriors who were not dead. They did not cry or howl, they were just crawling with their hands and trying hard to complete the task of rushing to the Ming army's artillery position.

The Qing Dynasty has no retreat, and all the Qing Dynasty warriors must fight to the death to defend the Qing Dynasty. The Qing warriors who died fighting under the city knew this, and Amin also knew this. Otherwise, when he faced the superior Ming army, he would never make fun of his own life.

But now, the defeat of the Qing Dynasty means the fate of the country. Even if he wants to escape, where can he escape? At this moment, Amin no longer thought about the throne of the Qing Dynasty, nor how to fight Huang Taiji.

If there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached? All we have to do is fight to the death!

With this in mind, he watched the Ming army's wooden city walls being removed and the Hongyi cannons in the artillery positions being deployed. There was no fear in his heart, but a sense of determination.

The rise of the Qing Dynasty is due to its own blood and sweat; whether the Qing Dynasty can be preserved now depends on its own blood and sweat to protect it! Amin thought, and gritted his teeth again as he stared at the Ming Army's artillery position, and then at the "Lu" flag flying in the distance. Suddenly a hint of ferocity appeared on his face, he turned around and climbed down the city wall without hesitation, rearranging his defense strategy.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was outside the city, watched a battle in the distance end calmly, and he had to admire the power of the new army. The quality of the low-level officers of the New Army is almost better than that of ordinary generals in the Dongjiang Army! Or maybe this is the result of being taught literacy in the military by the military supervisor and being able to study in the junior military training hall!

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly a Ming army came galloping through the night. When they got close, they rolled their saddles and dismounted their horses and loudly reported: "Lord Zhongcheng, Liaoyang City has sent two messengers before and after, and they are already heading towards Shenyang!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly and said: "That's great! Siege the city and report to His Majesty!"
