Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Li Yan looked at the sky:

"The summer is long, and there are still four hours until dark. According to the length of the Qing army's previous attacks, they can launch at least three rounds of charges, and it is possible to even attack four times!"

Liu Fangliang nodded and agreed with Li Yan's speculation.

Li Yan continued:

"We will release the water in the afternoon, deliberately allowing Shang Kexi to capture part of it, and then we will fight back with difficulty and take it back again."

"After doing this twice, Azig will definitely go into battle himself!"

Li Yan pointed to the top of the mountain, where their ambush was still hidden!

"As long as the Qing army attacks twice, at sunset, our counterattack will begin!"

Two attacks were enough to tire the Qing army.

Coupled with Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's troops who were exhausted to the extreme, tonight's counterattack would have to kill at least half of the Qing army.

At that time, the Qing army will inevitably trample on each other and rush out of the valley.

At that time, it will be time for the long-hidden troops to launch a thunderous strike!

"good!"

Liu Fangliang slapped her hands:

"Just follow Brother Li's plan!"

The two of them had already gone through this process several times.

Although the battlefield is changing rapidly, it remains true to its origins.

It's nothing more than seizing on the enemy's mistakes, constantly tearing them open, expanding the enemy's weaknesses, and after reaching the critical point, a battle will determine the outcome.

Just after lunch, the Qing army launched another charge.

This time, all of Wu Sangui's troops except the cavalry were involved.

This is more than half of Wu Sangui's troops.

If it were not for the fact that the cavalry could not attack the city, and Wu Sangui firmly refused to invest Guan Ning's cavalry in order to protect himself, Azige would have put more troops into the siege.

In order to decide the outcome in one battle, Azig even ordered that all the Han army's flag soldiers, who were still welcome, be thrown in.

More than 1 people crowded in front of the narrow valley.

There were densely packed heads everywhere.

The artillery that was brought in with difficulty by the Qing army kept spitting projectiles towards the fortress of the Shun army.

The Shunjun artillery set up on the fortress dropped dense projectiles on the Qing army.

Cannons roared and rocks shattered.

Every moment, people fell in batches.

Blood dyed the dry earth red.

In fact, the sticky blood made every step the Qing army took seemed like they were walking on a muddy road.

"Kuchu!"

"Kuchu!"

The sound of the soles of feet being lifted off the ground was connected into a piece.

……

Just when the Qing army was unable to attack for a long time and its decline was obvious, Li Yan waved his hand and issued an order.

On a low fortress, the commander-in-chief of the Shun Army (Hundred Households) punched the cannon viciously.

"Brothers, withdraw!"

Dozens of soldiers under his command hurriedly lifted corpses from the ground and leaned on the artillery.

The gunner loaded six times the amount of gunpowder into the barrel, inserted a long lead, followed the footsteps of the commander, ran along the passage, and ran toward the rear.

The commander personally lit the fuse, took one last look at the Qing soldiers who had just climbed up the fortress, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Just when the Qing army couldn't understand why this fortress could be captured so easily...

"Boom!"

An artillery piece set up on the left side seemed to have exploded.

There was a loud noise, and the heavy artillery was thrown high into the sky.

The huge wave of fire knocked away more than a dozen Qing soldiers who had just climbed up the fortress before they had time to pursue the Shun army.

Before the person even landed, large mouthfuls of blood spurted out like a free fountain.

And the heavy artillery fell at extremely high speed with a whistling sound.

Then it fell obliquely into the crowd, killing more than a dozen Qing soldiers.

……

This loud noise resounded throughout the battlefield.

Just when Azig couldn't help but be overjoyed and saw the Shunjun artillery exploding, he hurriedly took out his binoculars to check...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

There were several loud noises in succession, and huge orange flames enveloped every fort.

In just a dozen breaths, holes were torn open in Shunjun's originally tight fortress defense line that water could not penetrate.

"Hahahaha! Liu Fangliang's cannon exploded!"

Wu Sangui, who personally commanded, was overjoyed. He quickly drew out his sword from his waist, pointed diagonally forward, and shouted:

"Boys, go!"

……

"Hahahaha!"

Azig was overjoyed.

The cloud of smoke in the distance shrouded the Shunjun Fortress, and the mushroom-like gunpowder smoke told him a fact——

Shunjun's artillery exploded!

Take advantage of his illness to kill him!

Seeing that the hard bones that could not be broken off after several hard attacks finally exposed the delicate tender meat, Azig shouted:

"Come here, beat the drum for me, let the whole army charge!"

"Tell Wu Sangui to nail it to me!"

……

These fortresses of Shunjun look like meteor hammers.

At the entrance to Yixiantian, a five-foot-tall gravel wall formed the core of the fortress group.

Outside this walled city, there are densely populated fortress groups of different heights.

These fortress groups are all built on top of the tallest city wall and are connected by passages.

If Zhu Youjian were here, he would definitely say that the fortress built by Liu Fangliang and Li Yan looked very much like a Western fortress.

……

This terrain is scary, isn't it?

Because these fortresses are intertwined and can watch each other, the troops defending them are impregnable.

but!

With such a interconnected fortress group, it is not difficult to conquer the entire fortress group as long as you capture one fortress!

Seeing that the city was about to be defeated, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Azige all used their full strength.

Even Li Yan's original prediction that the Qing army would continue to consume Wu Sangui twice before launching a real Tatar attack did not appear.

In the first test in the afternoon, Azig turned it into a decisive battle.

Amidst the sound of trumpets, more than 2 of the [-] Qing troops have been dispatched.

Even Guan Ning's cavalry had to dismount and join the battle under Azige's pressure.

At this time, the only Qing army that had not invested was the heavy cavalry of the Zhengbai Banner.

Even half of Azig's army guards were assigned to supervise the battle team.

……

Inside the fort.

When Li Yan saw that the Qing army was charging forward, he solemnly bowed down and saluted Liu Fangliang:

"Brother Liu, hold on, you must hold on for two hours!"

Li Yan has more important things to do.

Liu Fangliang's face also lost its relaxed expression.

He nodded silently.

Li Yan clasped his fists again, then walked deep into the fortress, grabbed the rope ladder, and began to climb toward the top of the mountain.

Liu Fangliang looked inside the sky.

Three thousand recharged musketeers are ready for action.

These people are fresh troops who have been specially prepared early!

He waved his hand and ordered:

"Send the order, all musketeers come to the city!"

Since Azig wants to have a decisive battle, let’s give it a try!
