"Kill! A battalion commander rushed down from the top of the mountain with a dozen soldiers, and the enemies who were already close to Li Dali quickly retreated.

"Battalion Commander, I can hold on here." Li Dali held on, leaning against the stone wall and gasping for breath.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are only three people in your squad. Why are you guarding? Get to the top." The battalion commander pushed Li Dali, and this line of defense was completely lost.Soon, the enemy army occupied here in a swarm.

......

Duoduo is staying in the camp at this time, he has no interest in the war scene, he just needs to stay here and listen to the report.

"My lord, the first hill on the west mountain is about to be lost, and the Ming army has already retreated to the top of the hill." Kong Youde smiled all over his face, and this battle was considered a meritorious service.

"Okay! Drag the cannon in red and set it up on the top of the mountain to bombard me. I don't believe how long Huang Defu can carry it."

The battle in Xishan has been fought like this, which has exceeded Duoduo's expectations.Since entering the customs, he has never fought such a fierce battle except for a piece of stone.

The few battles of chasing Li Zicheng were at best one-sided massacres. The Chuangjun always wanted to use cavalry to charge the Houjin army's formation, but they were killed by the Houjin army in every battle. Fighting Duoduo felt boring.

Even in the battle of Tongguan, the infantry resistance of Chuangjun's old battalion was never so fierce.It took a full fifteen thousand casualties before barely pushing the first mountain into desperation.

5000 casualties unilaterally in half a night, this is definitely a tough battle.However, the temporary casualties were all soldiers from Haozhou, and Duoduo didn't feel distressed.

"As soon as the cannons are added, you Tianyou Army will have to work hard for me. I want to see Huang Degong's head at noon today." Duoduo lay on the chair, his fat body motionless, only a small mouth between the two The middle of his face kept moving.

"The slaves have sent 2 people, plus soldiers from Haozhou, to cut off Huang Degong's head, which should be enough."

Kong Youde had calculated that his Tianyou Army's combat strength was not comparable to that of Haozhou's descendants. Judging from the combat strength of Huang Degong's troops defending Xishan, he believed that he could not beat the Tianyou Army.

The number of people in Xishan is basically clear now, and it is no more than [-] at most.It has been fighting continuously for midnight, and at this time, the Tianyou Army is sent to take over the Haozhou soldiers, and properly grab the credit.

Kong Youde felt that if he brought [-] Tianyou troops there, he would surely win.As for the remaining half of Haozhou's surrendered troops, they still need to be used for siege.

A bugle sounded, and Li Datao could tell that it was the bugle of the Hou Jin Army.Turning around, on the position outside the city, rows of cannons in red are being pulled forward and backward, heading towards the west mountain.

Accompanied by the cannons, there were battalions of well-equipped Tianyou Army. The armor on these people was better than that of the Ming army. Firecrackers, iron spears, three-eyed blunderbuss, etc. were all carried on their shoulders in rows.

Seeing such an enemy pass by down the mountain, Da Tao was very anxious. He knew that his brother's side would be difficult to defend.But this is a military order, and he can only watch helplessly.

Half an hour later, the Hou Jin army's general attack on the first mountain top began. This time, all the soldiers from Haozhou withdrew, and the Tianyou army rushed upwards in rows.

On Li Dali's side, the gunpowder had already been consumed, and the long-range weapons only had a few crossbows. Fragmentary arrows flew towards the enemy, most of which missed and fell to the ground.

"Squad leader Li, tell me, how will we fight later?" Li Dali became the squad leader again, but this time he had only five men under him, and he had to defend a gap in the stone wall.

"Brothers, there are still some long guns here, and we will throw them together later. Try to bend your waist, and don't show your upper body. Those firecrackers of the Tianyou Army are not bad. We can't get hit all the way."

Tactics are always summed up in battle. Although the age of firearms has not yet fully arrived, soldiers who have experienced battles have summed up how to deal with firearms.

"Be sure to hide well, and don't charge hard. Later, when they get close, let's fight them in close combat."

The only way for the defenders who have lost their long-range weapons is to fight in close quarters, which is a kind of courage to die.

Li Datao watched his brother and the others hiding behind the gap, the enemy army was approaching constantly, his heart was tense, and even his breathing was a bit short of breath.

Ten meters away, several Tianyou soldiers held their shields, looked left and right, and moved forward slowly. The five enemy troops holding firecrackers were also staring at the front.

"Throw it!" With an order, a burst of long spears flew out, passed the shield hand, and made a few puffs, and the enemy soldiers holding the firecrackers were injured three times at once.

"Shield!" The shield players of the Tianyou Army quickly gathered and erected a shield wall.Immediately afterwards, the shield wall was pushed forward.

"Squad leader, what should I do?"

There is no chance of throwing a long spear anymore. The Tianyou Army is not the descendants of Haozhou, they are still advancing, and their reaction is very fast.

"Let me think..." Li Dali was worried, what should I do?

"What are you thinking? Let's fight them." A comrade stood up and raised a big rock to smash it.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" After thinking about it for a while, his comrade-in-arms fell down, blood dripping from his mouth.His stone was thrown, but he himself was shot and killed.

Between this smashing and falling, the enemy army has reached the gap.When Li Dali saw it, he didn't care about what to think, and immediately rushed up with a single knife in his hand.

Li Datao watched his brother rush out from the gap through the binoculars, and then slashed an enemy soldier's neck with a knife. Three comrades jumped out from behind his brother, and they all yelled and slammed into the shield together.

After hacking to death two Tianyou Army soldiers in a row, Li Dali's leg hurt, and a shield swordsman slashed his thigh.

This was an artery, and blood shot out of Lao Gao like a fountain. Li Dali's legs softened and he knelt down on the ground.

"Squad leader!" A comrade in arms stabbed at him with a long spear, and the enemy in front of Dali grabbed the end of the spear, his facial features distorted with a painful expression.

"I can't do it anymore, you guys retreat!" Li Dali pushed his comrades hard, his face was pale, his whole body trembled, especially his arms, as if they had been cramped, and he couldn't hold the knife for life or death.

"Brother!" Li Datao buried his head on the ridge, howling in pain.

"Quick! Help him down." The squad leader at the observation post also saw the tragic situation on the other side, and hurriedly found someone to help Da Tao aside.

Li Dali's body was kneeling there, and he was hit by countless bullets from the firecracker in a row, and several large holes in his breastplate kept bubbling with blood.

Chapter 181: Chariot Charge

At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, a low-pitched ox horn sounded, and the entire Tianyou Army began to cheer.

When the golden flag was planted on the top of the mountain after one shot, Huang Degong sat on another mountain top and panted heavily, his eyes were blood red, and he didn't blink for a long time.

A full 3000 people just disappeared.This is Huang Degong's best soldier, the best man, just thrown on a mountain.

And Li Datao in the Xishan observation post was crying and grinning, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't stop rolling on the ground.His own brother died heroically while he was watching, but he could only watch helplessly as his life disappeared little by little.

Duoduo was very happy, and specially asked his subordinates to move the chairs outside the camp. He was lying on the chairs drinking wine alone, admiring the raging flames of war in the northeast.

It was almost noon, and although the sun was a little bit hot, the fat man didn't feel hot at all. Maybe his mood at this time was in line with the Han people's saying: calm and cool naturally.

A rumbling sound came from the ground, coherent and low, as if from the wheels of hell.

"What's the sound? Where is the cannon shot?" Duoduo was a little unhappy, the voice obviously didn't suit his mood.

"My lord, our cannon has just reached the foot of the west mountain, and it hasn't been deployed yet." Kong Youde was serving Duoduo to drink tea like a good dog.

"Then why are you still here? Why don't you hurry up and deploy the cannons?" Duoduo looked at Kong Youde disdainfully, thinking that this old boy is becoming more and more lazy now, often slacking off and not doing work himself.

"Cha! The servant is about to..." Before Kong Youde finished speaking, there was a loud and strange trumpet sound from the widest valley between several peaks in the West Mountain. They had never heard this kind of trumpet sound.

"Da di da du du, da di da duo..."

"My lord, this is, this is the bugle?" Kong Youde was taken aback, the sound made people involuntarily excited, but why didn't he think it was a good thing?

"Quick! Go and see what's going on?" Dodo couldn't sit still anymore, obviously, his perception was not good either.

After thinking about the sound of the trumpet, the rumbling sound did not stop, the sound changed from low to loud, and the source of the sound was obviously from the direction of Xishan.
