    Ai Xing'a threw down the luggage, the old and the weak, women and children, and led thousands of people to march quickly, risking loading cannons on board, and going upstream along the Suzi River.

    Some parts of the Suzi River are turbulent, and many rafting projects have been developed hundreds of years later.

    Coincidentally, the river section near Maldun is very turbulent.  Maldun is built on a high mountain, the river is under the cliff, and the mountains on both sides stand tall,

    The height drop of the river bed is very large.

    ? To transport guns by boat, one must not only row the boat, but also pull the fiber on the shore.

    Hurry up and hurry up, one of the Tarzi's artillery ships capsized on the way.  Time was running out, and he didn't bother to salvage. Ai Xing'a landed west of Mardun, and then rushed into the battlefield with cannons.

    It's a pity that there are no defensive artillery on the stone walls of Fort Marton at this time, and they were all removed to the main battlefield before.

    Yang Zhenqing could only helplessly, watching the enemy artillery advance.

    "You can't be beaten passively, you have to fight out!" Yang Zhenqing said to the soldiers under his command.

    Five hundred people were left to guard the stockade, and Yang Zhenqing led the remaining hundreds of people to fight out.

    Manchu cannons are being slowly carried up the mountain.  In front of the artillery, there are more than 300 Tazi soldiers, which are used to cover the artillery from surprise attacks.

    These more than 300 Tartar soldiers were all the few Huotong troops in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    The mountain road is narrow and not too many people can stand.

    Seeing that Yang Zhenqing led troops out, the Eight Banners Army stopped advancing immediately.  More than 300 Tartar gunfire soldiers lined up at the front, but they were feinting, and the front row would block the shooting angle of the back row.  Even if a few Tazi soldiers squatted in the front row, only the second row could shoot normally.

    On the side of the Datong Army, the situation is just the opposite, condescending, and several rows in front can shoot.

    "Bang bang bang!

    Don't talk nonsense when you meet, both sides open fire directly.

    More than a dozen Tartar gunfire soldiers fell, and only one soldier from the independent regiment was shot.

    "Change the fire!"

    The Datong Army, which was unable to shoot in the back row, quickly passed the firecrackers filled with ammunition to the front, and fired a second burst at an extremely fast speed.

    On the Manchu side, this cannot be done.

    Because the firecrackers of the Tartars are still arquebus guns.

    Matchlock guns need to stand scattered when shooting, and the width of the battlefield is seriously insufficient.  On the narrow mountain road, it is even more embarrassing. Only three or four people can stand in a row, while the Datong Army can stand in a row with seven or eight people.  And fearing that the entanglement of the matchlock would get in the way, the firecrackers always wrapped the matchlock around themselves,

    It is very troublesome to pass the firecracker out.

    Due to the disadvantages of terrain and firearms, the Tartar firearms can only be beaten passively.

    More than 60 people fell down one after another. The front row of the Tartar firearms finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they shouted and asked to retreat to the foot of the mountain first.

    Man Dahai and Aixing are both behind at the moment, and they can't see the battle ahead at all.

    Man Dahai felt that something was wrong, so he pushed himself forward.  He passed the artillery unit with difficulty, almost climbing over the barrel, and finally understood what happened to his gunmen.

    "The Huozhu Battalion will hold on, and the rest of the troops will slowly retreat down the mountain." Man Dahai made a decisive decision and quickly issued an order.  If the fight continues like this, the whole army will collapse on the mountain road, and they can only use the lives of the gunfire soldiers to gain time to retreat down the mountain.

    This attack by the Tartars obviously failed again.

    More than 300 Tartar gunfire soldiers were almost wiped out.  Only a few dozen people were killed by bullets, and the rest of the Tartar gunfire soldiers died in the pursuit when they were allowed to withdraw.

    "On the bayonet, kill!"

    Man Dahai waited for the artillery to retreat, and then blew the horn to signal that the gunfire soldiers could withdraw.  These Tartars, who had been beaten all the time, scrambled to turn around and run for their lives, and were chased and stabbed randomly by Yang Zhenqing's troops.

    In this battle, the independent regiment had 3 dead and 8 wounded, killed more than 300 Tartar soldiers, and picked up many ammunition bags by touching the corpses.

    Back down the mountain, Man Dahai's face was gloomy.

    The wall of Maldun really couldn't stand the bombardment.  But if you want to use the cannon, you must push the cannon to a certain height, otherwise the ghost knows where the cannonball can hit.

    "Where's the car?" Man Dahai asked.

    Ai Xing'a replied: "The chariots are still on the road, and there are not many of them."

    These Tartars abandoned the city for the purpose of breaking through quickly. Of course, it was impossible to bring all the heavy chariots with them.

    Man Dahai said: "When Taizu attacked Mardun, he was still unable to defeat him. In the end, he blocked the descending passages on both sides and cut off the drinking water in the village, so that the enemies in the village were forced to surrender. But we can't wait, in case the village  If the water has been stored in the water for more than ten days, the Nanmanzi behind will catch up.: "There is no way to fight. Abandon the luggage, each person takes some food with him, and go all the way to the north of the ravine, as much as he can get out alive."

    Behind them, there are indeed several ravines in the north, but after the ravines are completed, they have to climb over the mountains, and it is impossible for the army to take away the supplies.

    Ai Xing'a said: "If we don't set up an ambush in the ravine, maybe the enemy will rush in and we will win again."

    "I can only give it a try." Man Dahai expressed no hope for this.

    Datong Army is not Da Ming's army, even if they set up an ambush and win a game, it is impossible to defeat all the main forces of Datong Army.

    Man Dahai missed the time when he fought with the Ming army. The Ming army killed tens of thousands of people. As long as the Eight Banners army defeated one of them, the rest of the Ming army would take the initiative to flee.  Moreover, when the Eight Banners Army attacked a part of the Ming Army, other units of the Ming Army rarely took the initiative to rescue, and the Eight Banners Army could move around the battlefield calmly.

    The Datong Army is different, each department is like a mad dog.  Don't just sit back and watch the friendly army be attacked, even if the Eight Banners Army doesn't provoke it, the Datong Army will take the initiative to attack.

    "The whole army retreats into the mountains." Man Dahai ordered helplessly.

    They went back the same way and joined most of the Tartars. With the old, the weak, the sick, and the luggage, they plunged into the valley to the north.

    It was a dead end, only a few miles long, and there were mountains beyond.  </div&gt
