Seeing that the civilians had built part of the trench bridge, Azig asked several battalions of elite green soldiers under Zukfa to carry ladders and try to attack them.

As a result, thousands of green soldiers were killed and injured in one wave, but they did not even reach the top of the city. They only consumed some Ming army defense materials.

If the civilians are included, the Qing army lost at least 5,000 people during the implementation of Luck Dehun's siege tactics.

While most of the Ming army's attention at the top of the city was focused on the attacking Green Army soldiers, Shang Kexi once again sent his Eight Banners Han troops and some civilians to play with the artillery carts, and finally placed the artillery carts at the preset positions.

However, before Shang Kexi's gunners could fire their cannons, the forty Guangming artillery at the head of the northern city fired again.

Boom boom boom...

Forty rounds of explosive shells were knocked down, and the Qing artillery position was immediately in a mess again.

Although some gunners were mentally prepared and stayed away from the gun emplacement as soon as they heard the sound of Guangming artillery at the top of the city, they were still killed and wounded more than 200 people.

Some artillery carriages with mainly wooden structures were also blown up. Next time they wanted to fire cannons, they would have to build earth and stones.

Shang Kexi came to Azig and cried, "General, we can't fight like this. If we let the Ming army's artillery fire a few more rounds, all the veteran artillerymen in our army will be killed."

Azige heard this and said impatiently: "If you lose the battle, then train again. Can the gunner be more valuable than the white-armored soldiers in my Eight Banners Army?"

Shang Kexi was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Obai rushed over at this time and also advised: "General, we can't fight anymore in Yangwucheng."

Azige said angrily: "If you don't capture Yangwu, what are you doing here with this army? Thirty or forty thousand men can't capture a small town defended by more than three thousand people. After this battle, won't the people of the world feel that our Eight Banners Army is even more incompetent?"

!”

It has to be said that since he was born as a superior, Azig's consciousness level is still relatively high, and there is some truth to what he said.

However--

"General!" Ao Bai said with a serious face, "Now our army can only encircle Yangwu without attacking, which will certainly make people laugh. But if we waste our troops under Yangwu City, we will defeat the Ming army who comes to help.

, but it’s not just as simple as being laughed at, but the entire army is going to be destroyed!”

"you!"

Although I think what Obai said makes sense, Azig is still very unhappy.

This guy Ao Bai defeated the Shun army in Runing and forced Li Zicheng to flee into Zhenlei Mountain and was killed by the mountain people. He also performed well in the battle of Luck Dehun breaking out from Runing. Now he is in the army.

The prestige is not low.

Although this guy is still a slave of their Aixinjueluo family, he is also a high-ranking and very capable slave. He is really not good at reprimanding him unreasonably.

Fortunately, Luck Dehun came to the rescue in time.

He said: "General, it seems that the Ming army in Yangwu is really difficult to deal with, and we may not be able to capture it in a short time. In this case, it is better to surround them without attacking and ambush the Ming army who comes to help."

Oboi followed: "That's what I suggested to the general. Surrounding a city and eating the Ming army who comes to help is our usual tactic.

But I think it’s better not to ambush - since the Ming army has evil weapons like drones, it will be very difficult for our ambushed troops not to be discovered.

If you are not careful, you may even be surrounded by the Ming army, which will be self-defeating."

Hearing this, Azig couldn't help but sneer, "We have the divine eagle Hai Dongqing, but we are still afraid of the Ming army's drone reconnaissance?"

Oboi was too lazy to speak.

Are you confused about the outcome of Haidongqing's first battle with drones?

He really felt that Azig was getting stupider as he got older. He was far worse than his younger brothers Dorgon and Duduo, and he didn't look like he was born from the same mother.

Luck Dehun kindly reminded: "General, Hai Dongqing has not been able to destroy the drone before, and I don't know how the drone communicated the military information it saw back. It is impossible to prevent it."

Azig glared and said, "You are the one who said there was an ambush, and you are the one who said no ambush. What do you want, kid?"

Luck Dehun said awkwardly: "I didn't think carefully before."

Azig didn't want to say anything anymore and said, "Okay, then surround Yangwu and call for reinforcements!"

···

Yanjin was only twenty or thirty miles away from Yangwu, so on the afternoon of the second day after Yangwu was besieged, Du Yinxi led his main force to a place seven or eight miles away from Yangwu.

Since it was already getting late, we had no choice but to camp on the spot.

When the army was busy setting up camp, Zhang Kuang found Du Yinxi and said solemnly: "Supervisor, it is very likely that the Qing captives will attack the camp tonight, and they may even launch a war during the night."

Du Yinxi also looked solemn after hearing this and said: "How do you say it?"

Du Yinxi was good at strategy and overall view, but not good at tactics; Zhang Kuang performed well in tactics and strategies when he dealt with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's troops during the Chongzhen period.

Therefore, Du Yinxi attached great importance to Zhang Kuang's suggestions.

It's just that for today's army, there are many inconveniences in fighting at night. Among other things, the flags used for command and marking each department will not work.

Therefore, even if some people dare to fight at night, they will only do so in small groups of elites.

If there is a large-scale night battle, it is very likely that the command system will fail, causing both the enemy and ourselves to fall into chaos, and both sides will suffer in the chaotic battle.

Zhang Kuang said: "Xiaguan just feels that if Xianguan is the leader of the Qing Dynasty and wants to win now, a night battle will be a rare opportunity.

Even if we don't engage in a big battle at night, we will definitely try to attack the camp - cavalry is the best way to attack the camp, and the Qing captives have many cavalry, and it is difficult for our artillery and muskets to be used at night.

There are so many benefits, as long as the Qinglu generals have a little wisdom, they will not forget the choice of attacking the camp at night."

"So what do you think we should do about it?"

"Inform all towns and battalions to prepare and defend to the death."

Du Yinxi nodded and immediately sent people to send orders to all towns and camps to beware of night raids by Qing captives...

It's ugly time, that is, two or three o'clock in the morning.

From the location of a secret sentry one mile away from the Ming army camp, a harsh and eye-catching fireworks suddenly shot out.

Then other open and hidden sentries at other places released warning fireworks one after another.

The generals and soldiers on duty in the military camp immediately took action and ordered the soldiers of each battalion to get up and prepare for battle.

At the same time, the ground shook obviously, but a large group of cavalry was charging towards the Ming army camp at close range!

Du Yinxi, like the soldiers, lay down with his clothes on and slept lightly. When he heard the sound of fireworks, he woke up immediately.

Then he led a group of soldiers to the tent next to him.

This is the tent of Group 6 of the Flying Eagles.

As the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army, the Superintendent not only had a Flying Eagle team for the border guards under Du Yinxi, but also a Flying Eagle team for the Imperial Guards. There was also a Flying Eagle team numbered in the top ten in his Dubiao Town.

After Du Yinxi entered the tent, he saw four people from the sixth group controlling drones and playing with tablet computers. (The top ten Eagle Team groups were all four people, and the following ones were three.)

Seeing Du Yinxi come in, the other three people except Fei Shou stood up and saluted, but Du Yinxi stopped them with a wave of his hand.

He knew that the infrared sensing system of the drone could see people and other warm-blooded animals at night, so he asked directly: "How many people and horses are coming from the Qing Dynasty? From which direction are they coming."

While he was talking, others had skillfully stood behind the observer and looked at the tablet.

Ye Linrui, leader of the sixth group of the Flying Eagle, said: "Supervisor, please see, the Qinglu are attacking from six directions. According to the surveillance statistics of the drone's infrared sensing system, there are more than a thousand cavalry on each route of the Qinglu."

On the tablet computer, I saw a stream of red dots closest to the Ming army camp, which had already rushed within a hundred steps of the outermost camp!
Chapter completed!
