The main force of the ambush was the cannon fodder team, which was to deal with the most elite scouts and whistle cavalry of the Qing army. However, the cannon fodder team used the terrain and attacked the enemy by surprise, and could still kill the elite soldiers. Elite soldiers were also humans. They would die if they were shot, and would be broken if they were shot.

The Qing army scout cavalry entered the ambush circle. In order to prevent ambush, the Qing army scout cavalry took out the cavalry bow and shot a round of light arrows on the hillsides on both sides to conduct fire reconnaissance. However, in order to save their physical strength, the light arrows were not far away. The arrows fell into the grass in front of the ambush and did not hurt a single person.

Although the two ambushers in charge of tripping horses in front were within the range of light arrows, they hid behind the trees. The Qing army's light arrows were blocked by the trees and could not hurt them.

"Let's go!" Just as the Qing army was about to rush out of the valley, he heard a loud roar.

Two ambushers pulled the tripping rope, and the tripping rope buried under the soil bounced up. The two Qing army scouts galloping away from the horse's back immediately, flying into the air with clouds and fog. People were dancing in the air, desperately trying to catch things, but they grabbed the air and then landed heavily on the ground.

The two Qing army scouts were struggling to stand up when several large stones fell on the top of the mountain, smashing them into meat paste.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" countless ragged Ming troops suddenly appeared on the hillsides on both sides. The crossbow arrows shot like rain. More than a dozen Qing army scouts and whistle cavalry were immediately shot into the nest of the horse. The powerful crossbow arrows broke through the three thick armor on their bodies. The pulling force of these crossbows was more than one stone. They were pedaled with their feet, and even the exquisite armor could not block the crossbow arrows.

At the same time, the musketeer's Gunshi Chang opened the fire pot and lit the fuse for each musketeer.

Zhang Anshun aimed at a white-armored soldier and pulled the trigger. A deafening sound of guns sounded. A blood mist spurted out from the white-armored soldier. The bullet penetrated the triple armor and knocked the white-armored soldier off his horse.

The crossbows and arrows were all shot on the hillside, and nearly a hundred Qing army scouts were shot and killed in the valley in a blink of an eye, and not even one escaped.

The team of scout cavalry followed more than twenty scout cavalry and found that their companions were ambushed. They turned their horses and tried to escape back to report the news.

"Bang bang bang" There were crisp sounds of rifled guns on both sides of the mountains, and the Qing army's scouts and whistle were shot down one by one by one by one by one.

Nikan, Vadak, Li Guohan and other Qing generals waited outside Yuzhou City for a long time, but they did not wait for the scouts and cavalry to come back to report the news, so they sent another scouts and cavalry to explore the way. As a result, it was almost dark, and the two scouts and cavalry sent out could not even come back.

"No need to think about it, more than 200 most elite Bayala soldiers went out, but none of them came back! They must have been ambushed by the Southern Barbarians!" Nikan said.

More than 200 scouts came out, but no one came back. You could even think of it with your butt that it must have been ambushed.

Vadak said: "Let the auxiliary soldiers hurry up and build siege weapons and siege the city early tomorrow morning! Also, General Li's artillery team prepares and bombards the Barbarian City Wall tomorrow morning!"

"Zhe!" Li Guohan called out a thousand.

Now the Qing army's artillery team is also divided into siege artillery teams and field artillery teams. The field artillery team has captured and imitated three-pound field artillery. The artillery was called the red-brand small cannon by the Qing army, and the imitated six-pound field cannon, which is called the fast red-brand cannon. The Qing army's siege artillery team used twelve-pound red-brand cannons, but the Qing army also imitated the artillery mounts and artillery vehicles "invented" by Li Guodong. The heavy red-brand cannons can be installed on the artillery carriages, connected with the ammunition carriages, and marching quickly with the army.

It was just that the Qing army could not solve the problems of bearings and rubber wheels, so their cannon maneuverability was still not as good as that of the Huai army.

In fact, the Eucommia ulmoides used by Li Guodong to cover the wheels was only a temporary replacement, and it was eventually replaced with rubber. The Ming Dynasty has obtained rubber from the Portuguese, but rubber that has not been vulcanized is not as good as Eucommia ulmoides. After all, Li Guodong did not study chemical engineering and did not know how to vulcanize rubber, so the development of the rubber planting industry can only be delayed.

The Qing army's auxiliary soldiers made the wood cut during the day into siege weapons overnight and prepared to launch the siege early the next morning.

The next day, just as dawn, the Qing army launched a siege against Yuzhou City.

The war drums rumbled and the horns roared. The gates of the Qing army camp opened, and shield cars rushed out of the camp. With the roar of the war drums, they slowly approached the city wall. The Qing army's red barbarian cannons were also pushed out, and they set up cannons one mile away from the city wall and aimed at the city wall.

"Fire the cannon!" Li Guohan roared at the top of his lungs.

Eighty red cannons made a deafening roar, and the guns spit out flames, and the whistling shells smashed hard towards the walls of Yuzhou City ahead.

Those who stayed in the city to defend the city were all civilians adapted from tenants, that is, cannon fodder teams. However, these cannon fodders could not be sacrificed at will. They could play a role in restraining the Qing army and dragging the Qing army in the battle to defend the city.

The artillery shells fired by the Qing army kept hitting the city wall, smashing the bricks to pieces, and the entire city wall was shaken violently. The defenders and civilians hiding in the hidden military cave felt the earth shaking, and it seemed that the city wall might collapse at any time.

It was a bad feeling that he could only be beaten for nothing but could not counterattack. However, the Ming army guarding the city only had small cannons such as light Franchise aircraft and tiger squat cannons, and could not launch a counterattack against the Qing army's siege Red Barbarian cannons. He could only watch the shells fired by the Qing army hitting their own city walls.

However, most of the defenders did not climb the city and waited, but hid behind them. The defenders only left a few observation posts at the top of the city.

Nikan watched his artillery team launch violent shelling at the city wall. Seeing the bricks and stones that were shot, he felt that the powerful Qing Dynasty would soon be able to break through the city wall.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone shouted in horror behind him: "Caval! Minggou Cavalry is here!"

Not far away, a large group of cavalry appeared on the horizon, rushing towards the artillery team of the Qing army's rear formation. A large area of ​​blackness looked like at least 20,000 people. Tens of thousands of horse hooves trampled on the ground, making a rumbling roar, shocking. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the cavalry came straight towards the Qing army's artillery team.

"Hurry, let the infantry line up! The cavalry wings protect!" Nikan shouted.

The Qing army's red barbarian cannons had just finished a round and had no time to load shells; and those field cannons had been pushed forward and were ready to bombard the defenders at the city, and they had no time to transfer to deal with the Ming cavalry. The Qing army infantry immediately formed a formation and guarded in front of their artillery team; the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry were divided into two rows, protecting the two wings of the infantry.

In fact, 15,000 of the Ming cavalry rushing over were dragon cavalry and 3,000 other scattered soldiers! They were not real cavalry. The real seven thousand heavy cavalry lies behind. Once the Qing cavalry chased him, the heavy cavalry would break out and disperse the Qing army formation.

Nikan watched nearly 20,000 Ming cavalry rushing about two hundred steps away from his artillery position, and stopped moving forward, waiting in place, not knowing what to wait. Just when he felt strange, a group of green cavalry suddenly rushed out of the Ming cavalry formation. The men were wearing green uniforms and colorful military caps, and even the war horses were covered with colorful cloth, which looked very strange.

These green cavalry rushed about eighty steps and stopped 120 steps away from the Qing army formation. They saw them pick up a musket on the horse's back and aimed at the Qing army's artillery team.

Before Nikan could understand, he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" shooting. The white smoke filled the Ming cavalry, and the flames spurted out from the white smoke. The Qing army artillery team immediately flew with flesh and blood, and screams came one after another.

"Not good! Poison gunman!" Nikan screamed in shock.
