Dong Heliang, the chief of the Po Slave Army, sent people to build * on the south bank of the moat. Theoretically, as long as there are exposed leads, they can detonate. Dong Heliang has calculated that it will snow today. As a result, the cold snowflakes wet the leads that ignited the bucket. Several high-gap * exploded near the bucket but did not cause the bucket to explode. Seeing that the casualties of the Po Slave Army and the Baigang Army were increasing, Dong Heliang could only use the huge explosion force of the artillery to detonate the hidden bucket. Although the accuracy of the Po Slave Army artillery is several times higher than that of the official army's artillery, it is still difficult to hit a wooden pile and soil bag that is ten feet wide and narrow.

Fortunately, the Possess Army ignored the easternmost flybridge passage, and the target they attacked could use five artillery covering firing method, so the possibility of artillery hitting wooden stakes was much greater. Before the artillery team dispatched artillery to fire, they also replaced the thirty crossbows with high salt*, just to bring a fire to the flybridge. When they heard "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Five loud noises, close-range artillery fired accurately hit two fixed rope wooden stakes on the south bank of the flybridge. This shell successfully detonated the buried barrel, and another shell was lucky to hit the flybridge. This shell blew the flybridge into pieces, and dozens of Wuzhenchao Ha battalion soldiers who passed the flybridge flew everywhere, and even the soil bags fixed on both sides of the flybridge became loose sand, and red blood stains and yellow sand polluted a large area of ​​the moat.

The * barrel that was exploding suddenly exploded two large pits, a half meter wide and three feet deep. More than one hundred Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers nearby were either killed or injured. This huge explosion shocked the Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers who were still fighting on the front line. Many musketeers were also shocked by the explosion and shivered their hands and directly detained the musket mechanism. Those who loaded lead bullets either shot in the air or injured their brothers in front of them. After the loading of shotguns fired, he suddenly felt that the gun was raised and the crowd in front of him was suddenly empty. The old saying that good and bad luck depended on each other was true, but the high-salt* fired by the crossbows of the Possess Army did not achieve the expected effect. During the war, the river water splashed by the cannons and the thin ice formed by the blood on the wooden flybridge on the wooden flybridge hindered the high-salt* combustion effect.

Jialaezhen Lou Changgang, who was commanding the front line of Wu Zhenchao, was also shocked by the explosion twenty feet away from him. Lou Changgang woke up from the guards' urgent shouts. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that the Posou Army wanted to cut off their attack channel. If he lost the attack channel, the Qing Dynasty would lose the follow-up motivation for the attack. What's more serious is that the thousands of Wu Zhenchao Ha battalion soldiers and wounded soldiers on the ground who fought on the front line would also have to fight against the water due to the retreat. Fight against the water is the most wanted to avoid. If it weren't for fighting against the water in a desperate situation, it would have been a move to scatter the morale of the army.

After a long time, Lou Changgang didn't understand that the power of the Pound Slave Armory could become so great. Lou Changgang didn't understand, so the Pound Slave Armory team gave the answer again. This time, the target of the Pound Slave Armory was the westernmost flybridge passage, and the rifled artillery was extremely accurate at close range. Although no one of the five shots hit the flying bridge this time, the huge explosion still destroyed the west flybridge passage. The huge impact force on the south bank of the moat river destroyed the two-meter-wide flybridge, and became a black hole to devour the subsequent attack on the Wuzhen Chaoha warriors. This huge water hole with huge waves flooded nearly a hundred warriors.

Wuzhen Chao Ha Camp, who had just understood the cause of the explosion of the Pou Nu Army, was stunned by the explosion shock wave again. Tong Yangxing, commanded the north bank of the moat, immediately ordered the attack to stop and ordered the front line troops to evacuate immediately. With only one attacking flybridge channel left, Tong Yangxing believed that today's attack failure was right in front of him. Tong Yangxing's purpose of withdrawing troops was to try to retain the vital strength of the Wuzhen Chao Ha Camp and no longer do unnecessary attacks and lose troops. Just as Tong Yangxing issued the order to withdraw troops, Belemanguertai, who was watching the battle far behind, also ordered the horn of withdrawal. Manguertai looked at the damaged Andingmen wall again with regret, and felt inexplicably afraid of the strong combat power of the Pou Nu Army and the Baigang soldiers.

Last time on the battlefield in Liaodong, when his father Khan Nurhaci and the Ming army fought against Liaoyang, Zhejiang soldiers and Shiquan Xuanwei, who were of Qi Jiguang's blood, defeated the female cavalry several times. If the other troops of the Ming army were not on their feet and refused to go to rescue, they would have given the Jurchens the opportunity to defeat each one. In addition to the help of the Ming army artillery that surrendered, otherwise the Baigang soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers would have likely brought the entire battle to a turn. In this battle, we encountered Shiquan's Baigang soldiers again, which made Manguertai feel a stir, especially the Baigang soldiers wearing the armor of the Slave Army. The Qing soldiers were very confident in the Ming army, but their courage to fight in front of the black armor disappeared.

The pursuit of Wu Zhenchao Ha's remaining soldiers is their strength for the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion of the Ming army, who are best at knocking down water dogs, have been hiding behind the city wall to shoot cold arrows. They rushed out of the dark. They took groups of swords and spears with swords and spears in their hands and crossed the white-rod soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, and excitedly killed Wu Zhenchao Ha Mingzhi who fled backwards. Originally, the artillery team of the Possessed Army planned to blow up the last flybridge passage, but they dared not fight again when they saw this situation. Fortunately, the bibol cannons could block the north bank of the moat, so the Possessed Army used muskets to kill the enemy outside, and the bibol cannons attacked the deserters of the north bank. Tong Yangxing saw that the defeat was decided, so he ordered his own artillery to shoot at will. Wu Zhenchao Ha's artillery counterattack did not hit several Ming troops, but seriously hit their courage to pursue. The Ming army shouted back and ran back to watch the battle on the city wall, and the face turned pale with anger...

.........

There is a small village in the south of Zijing Pass on the west side of Yizhou, Baoding Prefecture, Zhili. Although there are no leaves in the broad-leaved forest in winter, the beautiful scenery of the four seasons can be vaguely felt among the layers of green pine trees. The strange mountains and stones in the southwest of Taohuayu, make people sigh at the wonders of nature, and the multi-layered stair-like ice hangings extending upwards tell the rich water source. On the halfway of Taohuali is a common earthen fort in Zhili. This kind of earthen fort is located in the Zhili area. It is a dangerous place to guard against bandits. The curved mountain road at the entrance of the earthen fort is the only mountain road leading to Taohuayu. The earthen fort covering an area of ​​more than ten acres almost covers all the flat land on the halfway of the mountain, making this earthen fort a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The villagers of Taohuayu are not unfamiliar with the Taohualing earthen fort. It was the autumn of the third year of Chongzhen. About 30 disabled strong men paid for the construction. They also asked the people from nearby villages to help dig soil and move stones. No one knew the origin of these strong men, but the men in the government did not seem to dare to offend these evil men. The leader of this group of foreign households was surnamed Li, and the government sent someone to help them register the documents for the registration of Taohuayu. The construction of the fort used a two-meter-high round wooden fence, and then rammed the soil inside and outside the fence. The fort has three large courtyards, which raised nearly a hundred good horses and dozens of pack horses. The leader of the Li family lame with his left leg and was given the nickname of Tieguai Li by the people. This fort raised horses and was also called Shenma Fort by the people.

In recent years, the north has been drought, and Taohualing has little rain and abundant land, which has also made Taohualing a temporary residence for many fleeing people. There are also fleeing land and deserters who have transformed into bandits and occupy the mountains as kings. Several bandits wanted to occupy Taohualing, which was almost a mountain village. The bandits gathered several times to attack Shenma Fort, and the nearby people were afraid of the disaster and fish ponds, so they all avoided them. The strangest thing is that no matter how many people the bandits had, the strong men in Shenma Fort would go to various villages to buy vegetables, oil and salt in a few days. They never mentioned the bandits' attack on Shenma Fort. If the people asked about the strong men, they would pretend to be stupid, as if they had never seen bandits.

After a few times, the horse thieves who were robbed and the bandits who gathered in the forest of Xiaoshan, and the thieves who passed by were afraid to approach Shenma Fort within ten miles. Although Shenma Fort is located in a remote area and is ten miles away from the official road, merchants and horse teams enter the fort to trade and repair from time to time. Among the people gathered in Shenma Fort, there are gradually fifty or half-birth children of fifteen or sixteen. Although the people of Shenma Fort are fierce, they are extremely generous. Almost all the taxes near Taohuayu Village are handled by Shenma Fort. Taohualing Shenma Fort has a path of more than ten miles away from the official road. Although the thieves dare not approach, there are many major cases of Jiadao.

All the caravans that were robbed were from Jiexiu, Shanxi. For this reason, Jiexiu merchants dared not walk on this official road again. Tieguai Li was kind to the people around and often took in half-grown children who wandered to various villages. If any family of villagers encounters difficulties, Shenma Fort will come forward to help the poor and relieve the danger. The biggest feature of Shenma Fort is that they are not afraid of the government. If the tax collector dares to show off his power and bully the people in the villages near Shenma Fort, Shenma Fort dares to beat the tax collectors of the government to death and are not afraid of them causing trouble. If there are people in several villages near Taohuayu Village, if they are sued and ask Shenma Fort Tieguai Li to come forward, the government will immediately release the people and accompany them to comfort the money.

According to Chen Erhu, a yamen runner of the Yizhou Prefecture of Yaojiazhuang, west of Shenma Fort, after returning home, he said that the background of Tieguai Li in Shenma Fort was unpredictable. He came to Yizhou to obtain a private message from the British Duke Mansion in the capital, and the magistrate of Yizhou ran away for their entry. Chen Erhu speculated that Tieguai Li in Shenma Fort was likely a servant of the British Duke Mansion, who blocked the disaster for the British Duke Mansion and traumatized. The earthen castle here in Taohualing may be the retreat place where the British Duke Mansion compensated these heroes. Chen Erhu's speculation was recognized by the people, and the people in Shenma Fort were generous, and many people from poor families even asked matchmakers to marry Shenma Fort.
