In Zhao Xu's view, this kind of positional warfare is the most suitable for musket volleys.

Especially the recently equipped flintlock gun is much easier to operate than a flint gun, and can play the greatest role in the battlefield where every minute is necessary.

Since the Donglu is coming to die, I will invite them to have a pot of good food.

As Zhao Xu's most trusted general, Li Shitou was led by him.

Zhao Xu only gave Li Shitou a wink, and the other party understood it.

"Array!"

The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were all well-trained and raised their flintlock guns after hearing the order.

The Donglu were getting closer and closer to them. Not only were they not nervous, they still had a hint of expectation.

Two hundred steps, one hundred fifty steps, one hundred steps.

"put!"

The flintlock gun had a high sight at about one hundred steps. With Li Shitou's order, the soldiers of the Musket Battalion pulled the trigger one after another, and the Qing army charging under the muskets fired volleys.

The cotton armor they wore could not resist the power of the flintlock gun at all, and was pierced like a piece of paper.

The Qing soldiers who were shot were covered with blood holes and rolled on the ground in pain.

In the end, they will die from excessive blood loss, but this will take a long process, and they will struggle hard before this.

"The first row of hind legs, the second row of hind legs!"

"Prepare, let it go!"

The array transformation of the musket camp was taught by the emperor himself, and in his words, this is called queuing up and shooting.

In fact, it is similar to Mu Ying's three-stage strike.

In any case, the advantages of the flintlock gun were perfectly reflected at this moment.

Compared with bows and arrows, the power of the musket is greater and more violent and direct.

Compared with a clamp gun, a flintlock gun can be used in bad weather and will not be affected.

Moreover, the flintlock gun has a faster firing rate and can kill enemies more directly.

The Qing soldiers charged instantly became dead souls under guns, and their deaths were extremely terrifying.

This also made their companions feel scared and stopped moving forward.

I thought the Ming army was already a fish on the chopping board that could be slaughtered, but who would have thought that they were harshly put on by the Ming army.

But the hesitant Qing soldiers were soon urging by the military and legal team.

In Hong Chengchou's view, no matter how sharp the Ming army's firearms are, they will always be used up at the moment.

Anyway, he has the advantage of the number of people now, so there is no need to consider the damage to the war, it depends entirely on life.

Charge is also dead, and retreat is also dead.

The difference is that if you retreat, you will definitely die, and there is still a glimmer of hope for a charge.

In desperation, these Qing soldiers launched a charge again.

"The second row retreats, the third row is on the top!"

Li Shitou read the command skillfully.

They don’t know how many times they have practiced the process of queuing and shooting, and there is no pressure to practice it!

Under the suppression of powerful firepower, the Qing soldiers fell one by one.

But as Hong Chengchou expected, the Ming army had limited ammunition. Not only were the ammunition limited, but the number of muskets was also limited.

Even the Hu Ben Army was equipped with only one thousand flintlock guns.

Not to mention Li Dingguo's army.

But even so, the Qing army's advancement speed was greatly affected.

Li Dingguo was mostly veterans who had experienced many battles. Although they did not have the most advanced firearms, relying solely on the mesh rope and bows and arrows was enough for the Qing soldiers to drink a pot.

Arrows flew into the sky, woven into a huge net.

The Qing soldiers who were rushing to attack were covered in this huge net, and no one could escape.

"Cum, give me a hard shot!"

Li Dingguo's subordinates were all tough characters. Even if Feng Shuangli, who was the best at fighting, Bai Wenxuan would not affect their command of the army at all if he was not here.

The Qing soldiers who rushed towards them fell one by one, and at this time, there were almost no casualties in the Ming soldiers.

Seeing this, Aobai couldn't hold back his anger. He complained to Hong Chengchou: "I said Lao Hong, even if you fill in the life, it's not like this."

"Why, Lord Ao has no confidence in this strategy?"

Hong Chengchou asked half-jokingly.

Oboi shook his head and said, "It's not that."

In fact, Oboi didn’t care about the life or death of these green camp soldiers. As long as they could win this battle, they would die if all of these green camp soldiers died?

Anyway, there are so many Han people, some of them are like those who eat imperial grain to join the army.

Then we will summon another batch.

But he felt that it was a little bad if he continued with this momentum.

At this moment, Oboi regretted giving the commander-in-chief of the battlefield to Hong Chengchou. Would it be better if he was the commander?

Hong Chengchou was completely indifferent, as if the war had just begun.

Zhu Youlang in the distance was beating the drum while thinking about what Hong Chengchou's real purpose was.

As an experienced old fox, Hong Chengchou could not consume his vitality without purpose.

He must have a purpose in doing this.

At this moment, Han Miao pointed to a black dot in the distance and said, "Your Majesty, look!"

Zhu Youlang hurriedly looked along the way. Seeing that he couldn't see the details, he pulled out the only monocular telescope in the All Ming Army and observed it carefully.

I saw dozens of catapults arranged on Gaogang not far away, all facing the Ming army!

It turned out that Hong Chengchou was trying to do this wishful thinking.

At this moment, Zhu Youlang suddenly realized!

The charge of the Green Camp soldiers was to make the Ming army believe that the Qing army would fight them here and force the Ming army to fight a positional battle.

Once the Ming army has taken the position of fighting, Hong Chengchou can follow his next plan.

These trenchers are not inferior to those of cannons in positional warfare. Because cannons require intermittent bombardment and ammunition is limited.

But the catapult is different. There are countless huge stones nearby, and it can be said that it is a steady stream of casual use.

The Ming army, which was limited to a fixed range, had only the power to parry.

The situation is already very critical.

But Zhu Youlang couldn't understand it at all.

How did Hong Chengchou do this to ensure the safety of these charge Qing troops?

Has he already given up on these Qing soldiers as cannon fodder in his heart?

If this is the case, it would be terrible.

Zhu Youlang immediately ordered someone to inform Li Dingguo of the discovery.

As the commander of this war, Li Dingguo obviously realized the seriousness of the problem.

From the very beginning, the Qing army lured the Ming army to attack from the north of Changsha City.

The attack on the northern city of Changsha will inevitably pass through the Eiling Plain.

Then they set up an ambush here and lured the Ming army into the positional war.

Everything may be the moment when the catapult attacks.

Want to choose to break through?

Break through before the Qing army completely blocked?

Or choose to continue the positional war?

At this moment, Li Dingguo was a little hesitant.

At this time, he saw the emperor handing him a look.

Li Dingguo realized it.

Just be timid, just do it.

The emperor is not afraid, what is he afraid of?

Today I will fight the Tartars to the dark.
