Chapter 810 Pofeng Ridge(1/3)
When Mandahai said that, Wakda was also worried that Wang Xiao would snatch the cannon and bombard him.
Their Ama Daishan reviewed the battle many times after being bombarded by artillery in Shengjing City, believing that it was mainly because Wang Xiao was prepared for the attack but not prepared.
This time, Vakda was prepared for it, so he naturally would not easily fall into the trap. After finding out, he quickly led his troops to rush forward.
He was glad that he had come in time enough that Wang Xiao did not give the time to teach the people to rush to slap.
The cannons from the Zhengbai Banner Cannon Battalion were placed on Pofeng Ridge, and the muzzle was heading west. Before it could turn around, the Qing soldiers had already rushed up the mountain from the north.
Wang Xiaoyou sent Min Zhuang to set up defenses. When he saw the Qing soldiers coming out, he shouted loudly. Min Zhuang, who was fiddling with cannons, quickly picked up the musket and fired it here for a round.
Both sides fired at each other with muskets, causing casualties.
Then the people turned around and retreated to the south.
"Jiannu is here, withdraw!"
Wakda personally went to Pofengling and looked at him and saw a young man riding a horse in the distance. It was obviously Wang Xiao. He was holding a bird gun in his hand, and commanding Min Zhuang to evacuate. He put a gun here from time to time. The gun technique was very accurate, and he was attacking Niu Luezhen, who was rushing in front here.
At the same time, he also saw Tang Jie, leading a thousand cavalry to break the back, and flew over the long spear in his hand, and also used twelve points of ability. The Qing soldiers rushed to the scene many times but were stopped by him.
Wakda paid attention to the battle situation and found that the militia had become much more orderly than before, and had the appearance of an elite army.
This shows that Wang Xiao did take advantage of this period of time to train troops, but on the other hand, Wang Xiao finally made this Min Zhuang show his true combat power.
"I finally forced them to show their true abilities." Wakda thought.
Amid the shouts of killing, Wang Xiao and Tang Jie cooperated with each other, and Min Zhuang retreated in an orderly manner. The two sides were getting more and more open.
After Tang Jie repelled another round of Qing soldiers' charges, he also turned his horse's head and rushed towards Wang Xiao at speed.
Wakda gritted his teeth, feeling very hatred.
He could see that Wang Xiao and Tang Jie showed much stronger command ability than himself. He could train a group of mud legs to this level in a short period of time, and command it like an arm and finger, and he asked himself that he could not do it.
He finally forced his opponent out of his true abilities, but at the same time, a huge sense of frustration also arose from Wakda's heart, and he felt that his pride had been shattered.
He has been fighting to kill enemies since he was a child, but Wang Xiao is just a merchant, and Tang Jie is just a refugee. Why can he be more talented in commanding troops than himself? Just like if they were commanding the Eight Banners Army and carrying a group of mud legs, would he have lost long ago?
Damn it, it hurts your self-esteem!
Wakda couldn't get rid of his discouragement, and suddenly he heard from his subordinates report: "Master Beile, I've found Cao Zuo."
"Where?"
He turned around and saw that Cao Zhenyan, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner's camp, was carried up to him...
Staring at that head, Wakda woke up a little. It was not the time to complain. He stared at the figure of the civil and brave team running in the distance, and suddenly had an idea.
They can't escape any more.
"Change the gun and blast them! Hurry! Don't let them escape."
"Quick!"
"twitter!"
...
Mandahai had led the cavalry around Pofengling.
He guessed early in the morning that Wang Xiao would retreat.
Wang Xiao has only 5,000 people, and he has always been a despicable tactic of sneak attacks. He is unlikely to fight a tough battle with him.
Since he had made such a judgment, Mandahai led the cavalry to the front and wanted to intercept Wang Xiao.
The south side of Pofengling is Nangou Slope, and the south side of Nangou Slope is Chouzi Mountain.
Pofengling, Nangoupo, and Congzi Mountain are three peaks, and there are two mountain roads between the three peaks.
Wang Xiao was climbing the Nangou slope. Mandahai planned to bypass the Nangou slope and raid him on the mountain path between Nangou slope and Chouzi Mountain.
After rushing to the east side of Nangou Slope, Mandahai looked back and saw Wakda being asked the soldiers to rush the artillery from afar.
——Okay! The prince bombarded them with artillery fire, and I happened to intercept the defeated soldiers.
With this thought in my mind, Mandahai ran across the mountain road.
The green mountains on both sides retreated to his back, and the Eight Banners Cavalry went around between Nangou slope and Coffin Mountain.
“Well…”
The cavalry stopped his horse, and Mandahai ordered: "Stay on the spot and prepare to kill Wang Xiao!"
"twitter!"
Soon, another explosion came from the sky.
"Boom..."
The earth seemed to be trembling.
Mandahai held the bow and waited for Min Zhuang, who was bombarded by artillery fire, to run down.
However, after a while, there was no trace of the Nangou slope.
Mandahai raised his head and squinted his eyes to the south of Nangou slope.
The braid swayed gently in the wind.
"Why haven't Wang Xiao come here yet?" he thought to himself...
~~
On the north side of Nangou slope.
Wang Xiao raised his hand and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, rest for a while, prepare..."
"boom!"
A huge explosion sounded at the top of Pofengling Mountain opposite.
Niu Laoer was concentrating on listening to Wang Xiao's instructions, but was startled by the explosion, and his ears were buzzing.
He turned to look at the opposite hill and saw several cannons suddenly explode. Many Qing soldiers even had their armor cracked and flew high in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a "rumbling" sound rang out, and a huge rock on Pofeng Ridge instantly turned into debris and flew. A fire on the Ridge soared into the sky, and smoke and dust flew...
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Niu Lao Er's pupils were also shining with flames.
It felt so lively that it was like ten New Year’s Eves being put together, and firecrackers kept ringing.
The debris of the Qing soldiers who splashed up were such a crumb of firecrackers.
The rumbling sound stopped for a long time, and the big light ignited on the Pofeng Ridge. Countless Qing soldiers with fire rolled on the ground, injured by bombs, burns, shots, and wounded Qing soldiers wailed all over the mountains. Some were still stunned, and some had already left their bird guns and fled.
"Kill back!" Wang Xiao shouted.
Niu Laoer rushed out with big strodes.
"Kill!"
He was so happy.
This is the biggest firecracker he has ever let go of in his life.
Of course he didn't understand what artillery was like before, but when Duke Guo spoke, he roughly understood.
Isn’t it just an iron pipe that first stuffs the black gunpowder into the front and then stuffs the shells into it, ignite the black gunpowder, and the shells fly out?
As for how the shells exploded? The shells were filled with black gunpowder, and a wood-made medicine twist was inserted. Before firing them out, they lit up the medicine twist. When the shells landed on the ground, they exploded with a "bang".
So how do you make it explode?
There are so many ways, Niu Laoer has used them one by one.
For example, put a little more black gunpowder into the barrel.
For example, pull out the medicine twist on the shell and cut it short, stuff some more gunpowder into it, plug it in again, and then it will explode at a moment...
As long as one of them exploded, the shells and gunpowder they deliberately piled under the cannon pier exploded together.
Niu Laoer only thought that fighting is really simple.
That Jiannu general was really stupid, why didn’t he think he would do anything?
Thinking of this in his mind, he rushed down to Nangoupo and saw Qing soldiers running away with their heads. He slashed with a knife and blood splattered his face.
"Kill!"
Five thousand powerful people rushed towards the Qing soldiers, destroying them.
~~
Wakda woke up from a coma and was in severe pain all over her body.
The world is quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
He opened his eyes and saw a hell-like appearance on earth. The wreckage of the soldiers under his command scattered all over the ground, bloody and flesh. The living people struggled with their expressions, opening their mouths, but there was no sound.
Wakda knew that he could not hear it.
To be continued...
