When Dorgon was alive, Manchu generals such as Jixiha, Lan Bai were intimidated by Dorgon's power and did not dare to object to Dorgon's arrangements.

But now, Dorgon is dead, and his new master is just a child under ten years old. This gives them an idea. The Second Banner Banner Army plus 30,000 new troops is enough to lay the foundation for one force, and it is a big deal.

It is said that people have no long-term plans, so there must be immediate worries. Jixiha and Lan Bai are obviously masters, masters, masters who take things out of context.

They selectively "analyzed" the pros and cons of the first battle.

In their opinion, since the iron armored soldiers can attack the city wall at one time, they can attack twice.

They believed that the main reason for the failure of this battle was that the infantry could not keep up quickly, which led to the lack of infantry cover and cooperation after the iron-armored soldiers came to the city, which gave the defenders an opportunity to take advantage of it. If the infantry could climb the city wall as soon as possible, at this time, they might have already talked about the past and present on the Huling City Tower.

This summary has almost become the general knowledge of a group of Manchu generals such as Jixiha and Lan Bai. It is also correct, otherwise there would be no such thing as "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die."

Jixiha concealed the report of the first battle, but quickly ordered the city to attack again.

However, the Qing army still restrained a little and learned some of the lessons learned from the previous war.

The Qing army first climbed with three hundred iron-armored soldiers from another banner, and used three thousand bows and cavalry to shoot and suppress the musketeers on the city wall from both sides. The wall-mounted infantry, which was originally two miles away from the iron-armored soldiers, was only a hundred steps apart this time, and the archers were still following the infantry.

This kind of formation was launched by the Qing army from outside the pass to inside the pass, and it was invincible.

The most critical point is not the infantry and archers, but the light cavalry flying.

In the era of cold weapons, I am afraid that no army can be stronger than light cavalry flying when siegeing cities, especially northern cavalry.

This kind of flying shot is simply a nightmare for the defenders.

Whether it is a crossbow or a musket, it is basically a waste of arrows and projectiles because it is impossible to aim at all.

There is only one way to suppress it, that is, to use the same cavalry to move forward and interfere with the enemy.

Obviously, Yue Xiaolin has no cavalry under his command.

So, how to fight this battle?

Yue Xiaolin was worried. Looking at the iron-armored soldiers who were gradually approaching the city, Yue Xiaolin knew that it was impossible to repeat the same trick. With the iron-armored soldiers who were closely guarding them, it would be equivalent to careful protection. If you want to approach the attack with a "ground knife", you will undoubtedly commit suicide.

Should I fight? At the last critical moment, Yue Xiaolin was still hesitating whether to fire the cannon to intercept it. He was afraid of wasting artillery shells. Because musketeers had extremely poor protection, if they did not have artillery arrays, they would not be able to defend the city at all. This is the truth that no cannon is defenseless.

However, no matter how hesitated, his body is very honest.

The moment the armored soldier entered the range of the tiger squat cannon, Yue Xiaolin gritted his teeth and waved, "Fire the cannon!"

If there are dates or not, let’s hit a pole first. If the city is lost, will the artillery and shells be cheaper to the enemy?

It was this idea that made Yue Xiaolin make up and shoot out all the shells.

In fact, Yue Xiaolin had already wanted to withdraw, and it was because she wanted to remove the shells and switch them in light equipment, which would save trouble, right?

The effect of the volley of hundreds of tiger squatting cannons is as expected.

Although it has a certain killing effect on the infantry behind the iron-armored soldiers and also hinders the rapid advancement of the infantry, it will not work against the iron-armored soldiers as in the previous battle.

After the smoke and dust dispersed, the iron-armored soldiers had approached the city wall.

The Qing army's way of climbing the wall was quite unique. Four ladders were built from four directions into a well railing, and supported by more than a dozen arm-thick wooden pieces with hooks. Their strength and splicing smoothness were better than ordinary ladders.

This is obviously specially designed for iron-armored soldiers to climb the city.

However, this kind of four-sided ladder is only suitable for small cities and low walls. A city wall as high as Xuzhou City obviously does not have much effect, because even the strong four-sided ladder is too high, it will cause the body to be weak and declining. If the heavy iron armored soldiers sway on the ladder for a few times, they will probably fall apart.

At this time, the iron-armored soldiers began to climb the wall, and the tiger squat cannon had no shooting angle, and they were all silent. The enemy infantry that followed rushed forward to assist the iron-armored soldiers to climb the city, and the archers began to shoot against the guards' muskets.

The situation was very critical. Yue Xiaolin finally thought of Wu Zheng's second anti-armored warrior in Changzhou, which was to use his own way to cure his body.

The iron armored soldiers who were hit by muskets on the city wall before and were wiped out by all the troops have been collected, and the bodies are piled up together, and the iron armor is still there.

Since the firearm is difficult to shake, it is better to use iron armor against iron armor.

But the question is, can ordinary soldiers become iron armored soldiers by wearing iron armor?

Obviously not. This requires extremely rigorous training. Once you have more than 100 kilograms of iron armor on your body, you need to train even when walking and turning.

This is the same as the fact that infantry is not a cavalry when they are on horseback.

There is a way that things are dead, and people live, and there are always more ways than difficulties.

Yue Xiaolin thought of a trick at the moment, which was to let the strong soldiers wear iron armor and then stand on the edge of the city wall. In this way, things would be simple, as long as they could bear the weight, there was no need to move.

....

Yue Xiaolin's temporary cramming tactic has produced great practical results.

Iron-armored soldiers cannot wield weapons. They usually have two types of weapons when fighting. One is the cavalry used by heavy cavalry. They hold it in both hands and hold the gun bar under the armpit as support. Once they move forward in groups, they are invincible. However, cavalry can only be used in field battles, and it is obviously not necessary to siege the city, because it is already difficult for the iron cavalry to go up to the wall, so holding the cavalry to be a suicide.

Another type is the special weapon of the Qing army's iron-armored soldiers - the iron cone.

When the iron armored soldiers attack, their hands can only move forward and backward, and are not good at slashing up and down, they just use this object to stab forward.

This is a weapon that looks like a gun-stinging weapon in the Northern Expedition Army. The difference is that it is enlarged several times, weighs more than ten kilograms, is dull, has no edge or blade, and is more like an iron whip that is thin in front and thick in the back.

But if the iron armored soldiers attach with their own weight and stabbed on any creature, it will end up with one cone and two holes.

Yue Xiaolin asked the defenders to put on iron armor and stood in front of the battlements, with the original intention of blocking the iron armored soldiers from coming to the wall.

But obviously the soldiers have their own ideas.

What the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army like most is not the musket in their hands. This flint gun has one biggest disadvantage, which is difficult to accept, that is, it is best not to aim, because once aiming, it will ensure that you will be splashed with a tantrum on your face.

In fact, most of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were all "macao" faces.

After aiming, your fingers move, the hammer falls, and sparks splash. The recoil can make the close face swollen into a pig's head. Even if you avoid it carefully, there will be more spots on your face.
