Outside Dalinghe City, the tug-of-war between the Liao Army and the Xianglan Banner has been going on for more than two months. Both sides have muskets and have a new understanding of musket tactics. The final result is that no one can do anything to the other.

.

As the relatively large number of blue-inlaid flags in the post-Taurus era, Amin was the first to equip the flag soldiers with muskets. Twenty new cannons made in the Netherlands were also purchased. After one year of transformation, the combat effectiveness of the inlaid-blue flags was improved.

A grade.

Even with such a radical transformation, it still couldn't defeat Yuan Chonghuan's hated Second Division of the Liao Army.

The Second Division of the Liao Army only had a few thousand men, and as an old rival, Amin knew this very well. Ever since Li Xiao took office as governor of Shandong, the originally dominant Liao Army had become somewhat powerless. The lack of strength forced them to shrink their defenses.

The troops of Xianglan Banner were much larger than the Second Division, but they could not defeat the Second Division. Even if Amin sent the most powerful Niu Lu to lead the charge, it was of no avail.

Fortunately, the other party was unable to attack Daling River City.

The Great Khan led his troops around the Great Wall and went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that it went very smoothly. They captured Tongguan, Zijingguan, and Juyongguan. They also occupied Xuanfu and Datong! As long as he holds back the Second Division of the Liao Army here, they will not let them go.

After entering the pass for support, the Great Khan can lead his troops to attack the Ming Dynasty capital from the west. After asking his second brother Daishan, this time the matter will most likely be successful.

A shell awakened Amin from his wandering mind.

Soon, the bombs from the shelling fell like raindrops. The soldiers with blue flags in the trenches under the city all huddled in the trenches, holding muskets in their hands, waiting for the end of the shelling. After three months of fighting, they already knew

How to avoid artillery shells. Within a radius of dozens of miles, the trenches on both sides were dug like spider webs. The second division, which was inferior in numbers, had to rely on firepower to suppress the blue flag. I have to admit that the artillery shells of the second division were really damn sufficient.

.

Suddenly, Amin stood up. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully!

No! The direction where the shells exploded was not in the front, but in your own rear. Your rear was outflanked? How is this possible! The Second Division wants to defend Jinzhou and start a war with itself. Where will they get the strength?

But the explosion of the artillery shells really reached my ears. I heard it correctly, it was coming from the north.

"Master Beile! Master Beile! Oh no, the Ming army... the Ming army is coming from behind." A Niu Lu ran in in a panic. His face was black and white from the gunpowder smoke!

"Hit from behind? How many people were there?" Amin grabbed the collar of this cow, a little unbelievable.

If there were only one or two hundred people, Amin wouldn't mind leading the cavalry to kill these ungrateful Ming troops. Do you really think that a hundred or so people want to sneak attack on your rear?

"There are thousands of people, literally thousands of people." Niu Lu still had a look of horror on his face.

"Bah! I'll chop you up for lying about the military situation." Amin spat at this Niulu with a face full of tears. How could he not know how many soldiers Yuan Chonghuan had on the opposite side? There were thousands of them, but now he could spare only five hundred.

Not bad.

"Really! Mr. Beile, there are really thousands of people. They are all Liao soldiers wearing green military uniforms, and their marksmanship is very accurate. My team did not last for half an hour before they were defeated by them."

"What a bastard!" Amin kicked Niu Lu to the ground, then mounted his horse and led the guards to Beicheng.

The main fronts are all in place, and Beicheng's defense is very lax. However, there are only three or five Niulu troops stationed here, and they have all fought in the front and are resting here. According to Amin's judgment, Yuan Chonghuan may not even have 500 men now.

They can't even get together. Surrounding themselves is just talking in a dream. With thousands of people, can Yuan Chonghuan summon troops?

When I arrived in Beicheng, I discovered that there were literally thousands of people on the opposite side.

These guys used the cover of mortars to cover each other and move forward in groups of three and five. Moreover, these guys were obviously well-trained. When they ran, they always ran with their backs bent. There was a ridge in front of them.

Or when there is a big rock, he will suddenly lie down on the ground, and use the cover of the rock or ridge to shoot at the flag soldiers with blue flags.

Niu Lu, who was stunned, was right. The marksmanship of these people was very good. Within a quarter of an hour after climbing the tower, Amin saw with his own eyes that no less than twenty flag soldiers had their heads opened by bullets.

This is definitely not a mob, this is a regular army of the Liao Army. Moreover! Their training is better than Yuan Chonghuan's Second Division!

For a moment, Amin felt that his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. In front of him was Yuan Chonghuan, who was like a wolf and a tiger, but behind him came an even stronger one. He was surrounded!

Just when Amin felt that something was wrong, intensive gunfire sounded from the position to the south behind him. The sound of gunfire was so dense that he had not heard it in months.

"Hold! Hold! Hold the outer position. Anyone who steps back will be killed! The whole family will be demoted to flag slaves!" Amin shouted at the top of his lungs.

After experiencing the baptism of firearms battles for more than a year, Amin clearly knew that in today's world where firearms are rampant, it is simply a fool's dream to rely on city walls to defend the city. Without the outer position, he could only be trapped and die in the city, waiting.

They were starved to death and frozen to death!

"Hey!" Several Niu Lu around him ran out, and despite the intensive artillery fire, the organizers began to counterattack.

Ao Canghai had a steel helmet on his head. It was very uncomfortable to wear such a heavy thing. What made him even more uncomfortable was that the thing was actually green. According to our Chinese tradition, it is unlucky to have green on your head.

.I have suggested to Li Xiao several times that it would be good to change the color of the helmet, for example, red. The bright red hat looks like the groom's official son, and it looks festive.

All I got was a look of contempt from Li Xiao!

After holding back a lot of anger in the stomach of Xuanfu Master Ao, he finally bypassed the Great Wall and came to Liaodong. As soon as they met Yuan Chonghuan, the two guys formulated a tactic of attacking from both front and rear. For this, Master Ao had to bring another

The men took a long detour for a day before arriving behind Amin.

The surprise attack was successful, but the defense on the north side of the Daling River was very lax. With one charge, two Niu Lu's flag soldiers were killed. The city gate was opened, and a group of cavalry just came out. They were hit by overwhelming mortar shells and their flesh and blood were flying everywhere!

The First Division is worthy of being a fist force, and the soldiers' tactical movements are very smooth. It is very difficult for the soldiers with blue flags to hit the moving soldiers of the First Division. They often just aim and want to pull the trigger. But the opponent suddenly falls to the ground and takes aim.

It is conceivable that the hit rate is reduced by so much.

"Clear the perimeter quickly. Don't get too close to the city wall. Pay attention to the artillery on top of the enemy's city. Damn it, the Tatar soldiers actually have mortars. If I know who leaked the secret, I will kill his whole family.

." The attack of the First Division began to be shelled, and the fire at the top of the city could not be seen in the telescope. Reminding that the Tatars already had information about mortars, Ao Changhai immediately ordered not to approach the city wall too closely.

In fact, when he discussed with Yuan Chonghuan, he also believed that it was impossible to eat the blue flags with tens of thousands of people in one day. After all, they also had more than thirty big flags.

"Before tonight, the surrounding area must be cleared. All exits of the Daling River must be blocked. Tomorrow I will come to catch turtles in a urn." Ao Canghai had already received a report from Kuai Ma that Huang Taiji troops were approaching the capital city. At this time, there must be no soldiers in Shenyang. Come to rescue him Amin. He can have two or three days to calmly eat the blue flags with over 10,000 people.

If this goal is achieved, it will be the greatest victory since the war against the Tatars.

Yuan Chonghuan over there is organizing another charge. Now the blue flag has been beaten slickly. As long as he shells, people will hide in the trenches without showing their heads. When he attacks, these bastards will rely on the trenches. , to block. Because the target is very small, the hit rate is very poor. And if your own soldiers need to charge, the exposed target will be large, and the casualties will naturally be much greater.
Chapter completed!
