A fire dragon instantly ignited in front of the Qing army, accompanied by explosions.
The scene was very tragic.
All the charging green soldiers of the Qing army were stunned for an instant.
They had never seen such a scene before, and they didn't know what to do.
Even the military law team behind them did not urge them.
Luck Dehun in the distance obviously noticed this.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his joints creaked.
Shi Tingzhu frowned and said nothing.
When did the Ming army become so sophisticated that they were not afraid of death and would not hesitate to set themselves on fire to block the Qing army's advance.
"Master Belle, I think this fire will not last long.
Once the fire is smaller, we can ask the army to fill in the trenches."
Luckard took a long breath, nodded and said, "Well, let's wait a moment."
Although the trench between the two bastions is not very long, it can still accommodate hundreds of people passing through at the same time.
The Qing army, especially the Green Battalion soldiers, paid a heavy price when attacking this trench.
Luck Dehun did not want to attack other trenches all over again.
So he decided to wait.
The day will come when the tung oil will burn out, and it is only a matter of time before the Qing army breaks through this line of defense.
After about two hours, the fire finally became much smaller.
The Qing army opened the way with the Green Camp Army, first filled in the trenches, and then made a large-scale advance.
But when their vanguard crossed the trench, they found that there was another trench of about the same width in front of them.
This trench had also been built with a parapet before.
It is obvious that trenches cannot be dug out temporarily, nor breastworks built temporarily.
In other words, these are what the Ming army had planned from the beginning.
Everyone felt a sense of despair.
They really didn't want to repeat the attack again, but the military orders were so heavy that they had to bite the bullet.
The Conch came to mind again, like a note of urgency.
The green camp soldier held a shield in one hand and a tiger-tooth knife in the other.
He bowed his body like a shrimp and ran forward with his head down.
They responded with "mud pills" one after another.
This thing seemed to be filled with the anger of the Ming army soldiers, and the power of the explosion seemed to be increased.
Every time the Green Battalion moves forward, it will pay a heavy price.
Of course, the Green Camp soldiers also had experience, and they chose to advance in a zigzag pattern instead of the previous straight line.
In this way, the power of an enemy of ten thousand people is greatly reduced.
When the green soldiers rushed to the parapet, this time the Ming army did not set fire, but chose to fight hand-to-hand.
Ming soldiers jumped out one after another with waist knives and hacked together with the Green Camp soldiers.
They were at a disadvantage in numbers but had an advantage in terrain.
Therefore, it can still persist for a long time.
Hand-to-hand combat is brutal.
A Ming army soldier and a Green Camp soldier both dropped their weapons and fell to the ground to grapple with each other, using their fists, feet, teeth, and everything they could use.
The Ming army soldier bit the Green Camp soldier's neck hard and tore off a bloody piece of flesh.
The green camp soldier fainted from the pain.
There were screams and cries everywhere, like Shura hell.
Although the Qing army finally broke through the blockade of the trench, Luck Dehun looked very unhappy.
The strength of the Green Camp soldiers was reduced by more than 40% in this section, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
This is just breaking the trench.

Luck Dehun couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had insisted on attacking the fortress.
But no matter what, the Qing army arrived at Linqing City.
Luck Dehun followed Shi Tingzhu's suggestion and gave up attacking the outer forts.
Instead, he decided to concentrate his superior forces to storm Linqing City.
Although there are no red cannons, there are still a few small cannons in Luck Dehun's army.
He ordered people to roll out the small cannon and fired a few cannons at the head of Linqing City as a demonstration.
Naturally, these few cannons could not cause any damage to the Linqing city, but they were undoubtedly a provocation.
Soon he received a response from the Ming army.
Several Franco machine guns fired at the same time, beating up the Qing army in front of the formation.
Luck Dehun was furious and ordered the siege equipment to be advanced to the city to prepare for the attack.
Since there is no such sharp weapon as the red cannon, Luck Dehun is still very careful when making ladders, rams, trebuchets and other siege equipment.
But transporting these large siege engines through even filled trenches was not an easy task.
After Luck Dehun gave the order, only two or three ladders and rams were pushed towards the city head by the Green Camp Army.
Although the Green Camp Army suffered heavy losses, Luck Dehun still chose to let them go first.
After all, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army are the elites second only to the Eight Banners of the Manchu Army and cannot be easily used until the last moment.
Fight, fight, as long as Linqing can be captured, even if all these green soldiers are killed, Luck Dehun will not feel the slightest bit distressed.
"Your Majesty, the city is in danger.
Please move to the palace."
Seeing that Zhu Cixi was going to the city, Gao Jie quickly dissuaded him.
Now the Qing army has broken through the first line of defense of bastions and trenches, and Linqing City is the frontline.
How can there be any reason for the emperor to come to the front line in person?
Zhu Cixiang waved his hand and said, "I have decided to go to the top of the city to beat drums and cheer for the soldiers in person.
Gao Qing should stop trying to persuade me."
"This minister obeys the order."
Gao Jie reluctantly accepted the order with clasped fists.
Although Linqing City is tall and solid, and the possibility of being injured by stray lead bullets while standing at the top of the city is very small, it is still possible after all.
What if the emperor really did something bad?
Wouldn't he become the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty?
You must know that the emperor is just sixteen years old, and he has not yet appointed a queen, let alone an heir.
If something unexpected happens, who should inherit the throne?
I'm afraid the various vassal kings are going to fight each other to death.
Gao Jie shook his head violently and sighed in his heart.
Why can't he hope for something good?
Your Majesty is the Emperor.
With God's blessing, there will be no accidents.
Zhu Cixiang, surrounded by a group of personal guards, climbed to the top of Linqing City via the horse road.
Gao Jie and his soldiers followed behind.
Zhu Cixiang stood at the top of the city and looked down, looking at the black mass of human heads, he couldn't help but sigh: "These Green Camp soldiers were originally officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but they fell into the wrong step once they were captured."
Gao Jie clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, these two Tatars are even more hateful than the real prisoners.
They say that those who are not from my race must have different hearts.
They are obviously Han people, but they want to go up the pole to lick the Tatars' buttocks.
It's really An embarrassment to the Han people” Zhu Cixiang took a deep breath and said, "Gao Qing, get ready to fire off the cannons."
It turned out that when Emperor Zhu Cixi came to Qingzhou in person, he also brought several twelve-pound cannons with him.
This new type of Folang machine is no less powerful than the Hongyi cannon, but has a faster rate of fire and is easier to load.
Zhu Cixiang had been trying not to let Gao Jie take advantage of it, just to wait for this moment.

Gao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this.
He had long heard that the Folang machine gun was extremely powerful, so today he used these Green Camp Ertazi to test the cannon
