Outside Linqing City.

"Boom! Boom!"

Several artillery guns on the defending positions opened fire in sequence, and the targets they fired were the slowly moving artillery positions of the Qing army opposite.

This scene is a very, very common scene on the Linqing battlefield.

The Qing army first piled up willow-framed earth mounds in front of the position and took good protection. Then they slowly pushed a cannon from the rear to the front of the formation, and then began to persevere bombard the Chen army's position.

It was not until these cannons exploded or were too lucky that they were hit directly by the shells fired from the opposite side and smashed into scrap iron that they came to an end.

Chen Jun's artillery had already been aiming and then aiming, and once it was confirmed, the artillery should be fired immediately.

In fact, Chen Jun had tested the location of the Qing army's artillery and measured it on the spot. There were detailed data on the cannon table, but the shooting accuracy of the artillery in this era is far from comparable to that of later generations. The first batch of shells were all missed, and only two fell into the Qing army's transport crowd, and they had two bloody paths. Anyone who was touched and rubbed and hit was in trouble.

However, the Qing army didn't care about this loss at all.

Anyway, the people who die are all strong.

The Qing army gunners will return to their positions only after the cannons are in place.

Because compared with the Minfu Zhuang Ding, a skilled gunner is much more valuable than that.

After the first shelling, the members of each artillery immediately started to work, clear the chamber, reset, load the medicine bag, load the bullet, adjust the elevation angle of the cannon barrel, and move extremely skillfully. While they were busy, the Qing army's cannon continued to move forward slowly.

Artillery battles have become the most common method on the Linqing battlefield.

In addition to cannons, there are sneak attacks by elite troops at night.

The problem of night blindness has become a disease that the Qing army had to pay attention to.

If both sides have this problem, then it will be fine.

But only the Qing army had it but the Chen army did not, which means that the Qing army was very injured.

Because of this, how many defeats did the Qing army suffer? Qianlong, who are large and small, cannot count them.

Therefore, the Qing army was strengthening and improving food.

Night blindness is the best thing to eat liver, but if you don’t have a liver, it is not difficult to improve it. At least Lin Qingqingjun has improved a lot.

So the Qing army organized elite troops to conduct raids at night, and that one was insisted on doing.

Because at night, it is difficult for Chen Jun's guns to be fully utilized.

As long as they can really break in, they still have the possibility of winning.

This is true, and Chen Jun’s peripheral positions have not failed.

"Boom boom boom..."

When a cannon was pushed into the cannon position, a large group of gunners rushed forward, and the civilians and the men began to retreat. Then the artillery battles between the two sides lasted intermittently for a whole day.

At night, hundreds of Qing soldiers dressed in armor were organized.

They are all Green Camp soldiers, not the Jianrui Camp that can be fought the most among the Eight Banners soldiers, because they are just cannon fodder, and their only function is to consume the defenders.

The armors worn by these people are not the real iron armor and cotton armor, but more of a kind of cloth armor. They are the armors that have fabric on the outside and iron sheets inside. They are considered a simplified version of cotton armor.

After all, are you just a bunch of cannon fodder? I can’t be grateful for having a cloth armor. What other bicycle do I need?

You should know that during the Qing Dynasty, with the development of firearms, the role of armored clothing became increasingly unbearable, and iron armor was almost impossible in the army.

In this case, even if the Qing Dynasty wanted to take out a batch of real iron armor in a short time, they would not be able to take it out.

So cloth armor, which is simpler than cotton armor, came out of nowhere.

Wearing cloth armor and accompanying you, you can lift the light shield with one hand, and charging and fighting is enough to defend.

Although the bullets fired by the musket were sharp, after penetrating the light shield, their strength was not enough to penetrate the armor and penetrate the body.

Or it is difficult for marbles to penetrate key parts of cloth armor.

As long as the soldiers are not shot at the critical moment, they have not completely lost their combat effectiveness.

A gathering of Qing army.

He Dakui was woken up by his subordinates.

Because the flares can see the opposite side clearly, the lighting range of this kind of firework-like thing is still quite large.

Although he could not see the movements of the Qing army in his eyes, He Dakui was too familiar with the way of the Qing army. At night, his subordinates could wake him up. He could know that the Qing army was going to take action again. He immediately ordered: "Go and report to each battalion and send the entire army on alert."

"Yes." The messenger under his command prepared immediately.

Then several fireworks were set off at the right time, and beautiful "flares" exploded in the air, and the bright purple, white and blue light shone on the large open space in front of the position.

Frontier positions of the Qing army.

The Qing army, who served as the assault team, turned a blind eye to Chen Jun's actions.

Their gathering now does not mean that they are about to set off soon, so they may not just gather tonight.

Although this possibility is very small!

"Brothers, listen carefully." A green camp guard wearing cotton armor knocked on the gong in his hand with a scabbard, and the "clang" sound went far away.

"Did you see the shield in front? The person who came first will hold one in his hand after a while. This thing and the armor on our bodies will not be able to penetrate the gun. Don't think it's troublesome, you can save your life. I'll invite my brothers to drink."

First, that is, the group of people who rushed to the front as meat shields, they took double portions of silver.

"Before leaving, I, Ma Qinglin Jing, my brothers, have a bowl."

The guards were actually unwilling to take on this job, but there was no way. Who told him to be lucky and win the lottery draw. This kind of thing was drawn, and even the general of the Dusi went on the battlefield. What else could he say to his small guards?

He waved his hand and had been waiting for dozens of Qing soldiers on the side to walk into the group of Qing soldiers with a wooden plate filled with wine bowls. He first asked Ma Qinglin to get a bowl of wine, and then spread it among the group of Qing soldiers in front of him.

"Done!"

"Did it...did it!"

He Dakui's eyes were wide open, and he had been waiting for two hours, but the Qing army opposite was still not moving.

"This is another set!"

He Dakui was worried and grabbed his scalp.

The Qing army's night attacks did not occur every day. Many times they put on this airs, which made Chen Jun on the opposite side nervous, and then survived the night safely.

What He Dakui is most annoying is this kind of thing. Every time he encounters it, he will not be able to sleep peacefully all night.

He is not in good spirits now, but he is not sleepy either - he can't fall asleep even if he wants to.

"Go up, get on—"

Before dawn, the moon was about to set, and there were only a few broken stars left in the sky. Ma Qinglin and three or four hundred Qing soldiers behind him quietly pulled out of the position.

"Big, call me-"

Chen Jun was very vigilant. After the chest wall was blocked, he immediately heard the order to open fire, and the sound of gunfire was immediately heard.

The momentum is very large, but unfortunately the effect is not very large.

The Qing army that was charging only paused for a moment, and a little fell down, and the rest still charged forward.

Until the cannon sprayed shots, until the grenades were thrown out, until the two armies fought.

The Qing army came quickly and retreated quickly.

The senior Qing army officials who were supervising the battle in the rear looked calm, as if they had long been used to failure.
