After Luck Dehun learned that Duduo's army had begun to attack Dezhou, he also ordered an attack on Linqing Prefecture.
It's just that he also encountered the problem of bastions and trenches.
The use of tens of thousands of enemies caused heavy losses to the Qing army.
However, compared with the purely Manchurian Eight Banners Army led by Duduo, this miscellaneous army led by Luck Dehun is obviously more impressive.
Aside from that, aren’t these green battalion troops just used to fill trenches and serve as cannon fodder?
Luck Dehun gave an order, and the Green Camp Army was forced to the forefront to charge into the formation.
Behind them is the military law team composed of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
If any Green Camp soldiers dared to escape from the battlefield, they would chop off the deserter's head with a sword without hesitation.
I have to say that this tactic worked wonders.
Although the Green Camp soldiers suffered heavy losses, the Qing army was able to consume a large number of the Ming army's ten thousand enemies and advance a considerable distance.
Just when they thought they could launch a frontal attack on the bastion, something unexpected happened.
The soldiers of the Ming army hidden in the trenches on both sides suddenly jumped out, raised their firecrackers and fired mercilessly at the Qing army.
The Qing army was shot down without preparation, and the injured soldiers rolled in pain.
Under the command of the Qing generals, they attempted to counterattack.
But the low parapets built by the Ming army in front of the trenches served as a good cover.
These parapets are not as tall as a person, but they can effectively prevent firecrackers from shooting.
Ming soldiers could place their muskets on the crenellations of the breastworks and shoot without any pressure.
This was an unequal war.
Qing soldiers could not hit Ming soldiers, but Ming soldiers could shoot at Qing soldiers from all positions and angles.
The offensive that the Qing army finally launched was once again suppressed.
Luck Dehun saw it and was anxious in his heart.
Why is this not at all like what Shi Tingzhu said, that the Ming army would be defeated like a mountain?
Why did he feel that the Ming army was well prepared and waiting for them to launch an attack?
Also, Duduo had clearly launched a fierce attack on Dezhou, so why didn't he do anything to contain the Ming army in Linqing?
Does it mean that the army is very large in number and can deal with multiple fronts at the same time?
Luck Dehun's mind was in a mess.
Seeing Luck Dehun's hesitation, Shi Tingzhu became a little anxious.
He suggested: "Master Beile, I suggest that we try our best to open a gap and go straight to Linqing City."
After all, Shi Tingzhu was a man who had experienced many battles.
He saw that the Ming army's purpose was to block or slow down the Qing army's advance through fortresses and trenches, so he proposed a countermeasure of concentrating his forces to break through.
The breakthrough is naturally the trench.
As long as a trench is filled up, it will be enough for the Qing army to break through.
Compared with attacking a fortress, the cost of filling in trenches is obviously much smaller.
Luck Dehun was already a masterless man.
Hearing Shi Tingzhu's suggestion, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will do as you say.
It's just a matter of where to choose to break through."
Shi Tingzhu pointed towards the south and said: "Just rush here.
Rush over at all costs.
You can see Linqing City within a short distance."
"Okay, okay, okay" Luck Dehun said hello three times in a row and said loudly: "Ben Beile personally beats the drum to cheer for the soldiers."
After that, he actually took the drumstick from a soldier and started beating the drum.
Seeing this, Shi Tingzhu also winked at the person blowing the trumpet, and the low conch trumpet sound sounded again.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Under the command of the flag, the soldiers of the Green Camp rushed towards a trench due south.
Because they were mentally prepared this time, the Green Camp soldiers raised their wooden shields high while attacking.
The Ming soldiers who were hiding behind the breastwork and shooting did not panic at all, and skillfully completed the actions of shooting, loading, and shooting again.

The protective effect of ordinary wooden shields is very average.
The lead bullets can easily penetrate the wooden shields and then be shot into the bodies of the Green Camp soldiers.
The lead spiraled into their muscles, causing heartbreaking pain.
These Green Battalion soldiers who were not shot in the vital points would not die immediately.
They would endure pain for a considerable period of time.
The soldiers rushing from behind turned a blind eye to the pain of their companions.
They rushed forward expressionlessly, not even daring to look back.
Because they knew that behind them were the Han army's flag military law troops armed with steel knives, and anyone who tried to escape would be punished with death.
Since retreating would lead to death, and there was still a glimmer of hope for advancing, they would of course choose to risk their lives.
The Ming soldiers in the trenches would occasionally throw one or two missiles over the parapets, causing damage to the Qing army.
But obviously the reserves of tens of thousands of enemies in the trenches were not sufficient, and Ming soldiers still had to rely on firecrackers most of the time.
Although they were able to complete fire suppression for a considerable part of the time, the Qing troops were too numerous.
If one fell, another would immediately fill the gap.
This almost crazy fighting style left the Ming army in the trenches at a loss.
"Rush over, and the first one to cross the trench will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
Seeing that the Green Camp soldiers had rushed to a distance of thirty steps from the parapet, Niu Lu Zhangjing shouted loudly.
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and someone will definitely fill this trench.
After the trenches, the Ming army general Yu Nan had realized the Qing army's purpose.
Unfortunately, it was too late to ask for help from Paoze in the fortress.
He gritted his teeth and ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Here's the tung oil, pour it all over."
"Mr.
Yu, what are you doing?"
The soldier asked very puzzledly.
"The Tatars are going to charge over in a moment, and there's no way we, a hundred or so people, can hold it.
Instead of letting the Tatars charge over, why don't we set a fire and burn them all clean."
Yu Nan's voice was full of desolation, and he had the air of a strong man who will never return once the wind is rustling and the water is cold.
The soldier obviously understood what Yu Nan meant.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Master, tell me when will we set this fire?"
Yu Nan sneered and said: "Don't worry, it won't be too late to wait until the Tatars rush over the parapet.
Let's pour the tung oil on it first.
Then it will be a matter of igniting the fire.
Before that, we have to pour out every lead."
Fight cleanly and never leave a single bullet to the Tatars.”
After that, Yu Nan took the lead and jumped behind the parapet, picked up a musket and placed it on the crenel, loaded the ammunition, and lit the fuse.
"Kill the Tatars, kill one to earn one, kill two to earn a pair" "Kill the Tatars, kill the Tatars" With a loud bang, the Qing soldiers fell down like scarecrows.
But more Green Camp soldiers rushed to the parapet.
The parapet is not high and is only used as a bunker.
More and more frantic Qing soldiers easily climbed over the parapet and rushed towards the trench ten steps away.
"It's now" Yu Nan roared angrily and threw the ignited fire stick into the trench, and the other soldiers followed suit.
For a time, a raging fire was ignited in the trench, and the few dozen bombs fired by the enemy were ignited one after another, making a deafening explosion
