Sacks and such could be piled up high, and they could also be loaded onto carts and advanced forward, protecting the soldiers' safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guozhu immediately issued an order: all the civilian laborers in his central army division who pushed and pulled the long flatbed carts were to come forward, using their vehicles loaded with sacks and baskets of earth to shield the front of the soldiers and the wagon fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yang Guozhu's vanguard units, numbering about three thousand men, had paid a considerable toll in casualties, but under the cover of the war wagons, they were advancing rapidly and were already not far from the first defensive line of the Qing army at Huangtuling, nearly at the foot of the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Qing army's stockade wall at that location had some cannons and bird guns, under the fierce bombardment of the Divine Machine Battalion, especially the continuous firing of poison smoke shells and ash shells, they were already too preoccupied to fend for themselves; even if they opened fire, the damage would not be great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after closing in on the foot of the hill, because of the slope, the cannons on the Qing army's main ridge and middle ridge also shifted their targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key issue was that the large number of wagon fort cannons and the mass of mountain assault equipment that followed were advancing slowly but could not stop advancing, so they quickly became the target of the Qing cannons on the main and middle ridges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Machine Battalion's cannons could not reach them, but they could bombard as they pleased, creating a situation for the moment where each side's cannons fired at their own targets, and it was just a matter of who could not hold out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wagon forts mostly belonged to soldiers from allied garrisons, who ordinarily only used cannons to strike others and were rarely attacked by enemy cannon fire themselves. Suddenly struck fiercely by Qing cannons, they all showed signs of panic and fear, and only by relying on their officers to keep them in line did they barely manage to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those civilian laborers, who had never experienced battle, watching the Tatar cannonballs howling over continuously, with everyone around them either dead or wounded, they were each even more utterly terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, at this moment, the central army passed down an order: using the earth carts to shield their bodies, they could withstand the Tatar cannonballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they heard that those flatbed carts loaded with sacks and baskets of earth could defend against cannonballs, the men pushing those carts instantly became the most beloved people in the army, and everyone scrambled to get them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, not long after, a large number of earth carts were sent over from the main body of the central army in the rear, and along with the arrival of a large group of Jingbian Army medical personnel who carried away the dead and wounded, the morale of the various mountain assault units became much more settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, within Yang Guozhu's various forces — not only the vanguard units, but also the reserve units and the central army units — every squad had several earth carts shielding their front, and the cavalry also all dismounted and used earth carts for cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war wagons of the various wagon forts, and the various mountain assault equipment, likewise huddled tightly behind the earth carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These earth carts were loaded on top with sacks and earth baskets, and the front bottom and both sides of the carts were further bound with numerous earth sacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facts proved that these earth carts could indeed effectively protect against the Tatar cannons. Sometimes an earth cart was struck and hit by a howling cannonball, sending cloth scraps and dirt flying up, but the whole cart would not explode and cause harm, and the people hiding behind the cart were likewise safe and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the earth carts were densely packed, so the Qing army's cannonballs likewise had difficulty producing widespread ricochet damage. Although their cannons still inevitably caused some casualties — because some cannonballs passed over the earth carts and directly struck war wagons or infantry formations — compared to the completely one-sided situation before, it was far, far better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the morale of every mountain assault unit was greatly boosted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guozhu seized the opportunity to order an accelerated advance, and very quickly, wave after wave of mountain assault troops closed in on the first Qing defensive line at Huangtuling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guozhu's central army division was even less than one li from the defensive line, directing the battle from close range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To guard against cannon fire, the front and both sides of his command wagon and his command flag wagon were even more densely packed with all kinds of sacks and earth baskets, forming rows of crenellated protective walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the earth carts, the Qing cannon fire that had been running rampant just moments ago instantly lost most of its power. …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Ming army's mountain assault units close in on the foot of the ridge wave after wave, Dorgon, Edwardo, and the others on the main ridge were dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to accept the result before his eyes, Dorgon shouted sharply: \"What is going on here? Why have the cannons of our Great Qing suddenly become useless against the Ming army?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see very clearly: after the Ming army pushed out cart after cart of sacks and earth baskets, the cannons of the Ujen Cooha artillery camp on the ridge instantly lost most of their power, like a tiger losing its fangs. Even when cannonballs struck their carts, aside from kicking up some dirt or shaking apart some of their vehicles, they achieved nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yang Guozhu's central army grand formation halted and his command flag flew high, Dorgon had even secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking perhaps they could use the cannons to kill the Ming army's great general.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was over two li from the main ridge artillery position to Yang Guozhu's command flag wagon, at such a distance, wanting to hit a single small vehicle — how could that be easy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under the concentrated bombardment of multiple cannons, a few shells did indeed strike the sacks piled up in front of the command wagon and the command flag wagon. But aside from kicking up some showers of mud, those shells caused absolutely no lethal damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavalry and infantry in their formation likewise huddled tightly behind one earth cart after another, and it was impossible to inflict much harm on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven one moment, hell the next — how could the various Qing commanders on the ridge accept this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all cursed and howled in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Tingzhu roared in rage: \"It must be that Wang Dou again who came up with this damned thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edwardo also looked again and again through his spyglass, unable to believe his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was inwardly horrified: using some simple sacks and earth baskets, they could withstand invincible cannons? Even in Europe at this time, such a tactic had not appeared. Could it be that in terms of scientific tactics, the noble white race had already fallen behind these yellow-skinned people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qing artillery camp at Huangtuling bombarded with all its might, but the Ming army battle formation still pressed step by step to the foot of the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taiji and the others on the mountain city were also stunned. The Ming army, using sacks and earth baskets, had blocked their cannons? Their own ornate and sturdy war wagons could not block cannons, yet some simple mud sacks placed on some simple carts could block heavy, howling cannonballs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taiji suddenly said: \"This is bad. Our cannons are useless against them. When they haul their own cannons up later, we must guard against them bombarding me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes fixed on the Ming army's densely packed earth sack carts: \"Pass the order to the Great Qing positions everywhere on Huangtuling: immediately transport and fill a large number of sacks and earth baskets, and deploy them on every defensive position to guard against possible Ming cannon bombardment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Ming army was closing in on the foot of the hill, the Divine Machine Battalion's cannon fire also ceased at this moment, to prevent accidentally hitting their own allied forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Qing army at the first defensive line of Huangtuling, their trench wall had already collapsed in many places. Although the army's laborers and slaves desperately tried to repair it, under the Ming cannon fire, their efforts yielded very little. However, the three trench lines in front of the main wall, and the low walls, chevaux-de-frise, wooden stakes, and ropes behind the trenches, were mostly intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Ming cannon fire stopped, the Manchu troops supervising the battle seized the chance to direct the laborers to repair the trench wall. Yan Zha, the Jalangga Jinggin of the Niangniang Temple tower section, even roared for the cannons on the stockade wall towers to fire back, but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Ming army had pressed too close, no matter how they adjusted the firing angle downward, the cannonballs from their red-barbarian three-pounder cannons mounted on the stockade wall and the Niangniang Temple tower still flew far over the heads of the Ming vanguard's forward wave. Even when some falconet cannons hit the earth carts, they could not cause much damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, because of the slope of the ridge, the Qing cannons on the main ridge and middle ridge also ceased bombarding the Ming vanguard. The mountain-assault Ming troops seized the opportunity to set up their assault positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little over a hundred paces from the stockade wall, especially at the points facing each of the stockade gates, earth carts were piled up densely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the earth carts, bird gun sharpshooters and pikemen were positioned to prevent the Qing army from suddenly charging out of the stockade gates. Gaps were also left between these earth carts to serve as places to set up cannons or as passageways for Ming troops to sally forth. …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qing army's cannons were useless, and their bird guns and bows posed even less of a threat. Their stone-throwing trebuchets, at such a distance, also had negligible harmful effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only watch helplessly as the Ming army established its line, and as the Ming wagon forts in the rear, shielded by earth carts and braving the cannon fire from the main and middle ridges, desperately hauled falconet cannons and the like forward, with countless mountain assault implements being desperately hauled up behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yongzhong, this bird gun sharpshooter, had also closed in on the first Qing defensive line at Huangtuling, directly facing a Tatar stockade gate a hundred paces away. In front of this stockade gate, a deep trench had been dug, spanned by a heavy drawbridge. Not far to the right of this stockade gate was a collapsed section of stockade gate and wall, apparently blasted apart not long ago by the Divine Machine Battalion's cannon fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking out, there were many collapsed places along the Tatar stockade wall. As long as their own mountain assault equipment was hauled up, breaking through the Tatar stockade wall defense line before their eyes would be only a matter of moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he and his squad brothers were huddled tightly behind several earth carts. Just like them, not far in front of the Qing stockade wall, winding earth carts were spread out everywhere, and behind the earth carts were all Yang Guozhu's bird gun soldiers clad in bright red cotton armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a dozen or so paces behind them, there was another row after row of earth carts. Hiding behind those were all pikemen wearing short surcoats over their armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yongzhong peered out from behind the earth cart. The Qing soldiers behind the stockade wall were shouting and yelling wildly, pointing and gesticulating at their earth carts. Some Qing soldiers fired their guns with pops and bangs — at such a distance, most of the bullets flew who knows where, and those that hit the earth carts only kicked up small puffs of dirt, the sacks hissing as they leaked earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Liu Yongzhong heard a burst of drumming from behind the stockade wall. The drawbridge at the stockade gate ahead was lowered, the gate opened, and several waves of Tatar soldiers wearing white armor with red trim charged out. Each of them carried a heavy shield, and the shields in the hands of the front few were especially ponderous — likely made of iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing heavy armor and wielding greatswords and heavy axes, they charged forward with wild roars. Liu Yongzhong's heart pounded violently, and he could not help but bellow: \"Bring it on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the brothers beside him, pressed tightly against the earth carts, each face showing tension. After all, since the new army had finished training, this was the first time any of them had faced genuine Tatar soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferocity of the Tatars was something they had all long heard of; suddenly confronting them, it was inevitable that they felt some alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their daily training had taken effect, and with their officers shouting furiously that they must not fire until the Qing troops came within seventy paces, behind each earthen cart there was only an eerie silence. On the earthen carts flanking the gate, the matchlock soldiers behind them also turned their matchlocks sideways, aiming at the charging Bordered White Banner Tartar soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qing soldiers could be seen roaring as they charged down from the mountain. The closer they came, the more clearly their ferocious, fiendish expressions could be seen, yet the Ming troops behind the earthen carts still forced themselves to hold still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yang Guozhu organized and drilled his new army, because it was modeled on the Shunxiang Army, the past battle examples of the Shunxiang Army were all brought out and carefully analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Yang Guozhu and his various officers universally agreed upon was the Shunxiang Army's tenacity and steadfastness — without an officer's order, they would not fire their matchlocks. In this way, the power of their volley fire, combined with their excellent matchlocks, naturally carried all before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his daily training, Yang Guozhu also placed particular emphasis on this point. In battle, for anyone who acted on their own without orders: the Squad Commander could execute a common soldier, the platoon officer could execute a Squad Commander, the Squad Commander could execute a platoon officer, and the Company Commander could execute a Squad Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his strict training, obeying orders became an iron rule universally observed by Yang Guozhu's new army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, although the Qing troops' frenzied charge was extremely fierce, they still forced themselves to wait until the Qing troops drew near, awaiting the order from the Squad Commander in charge of that position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Han and Korean soldiers wielding matchlocks and three-eyed guns darted out from behind their shields and fired, producing a cloud of gunpowder smoke and a series of popping sounds. Liu Yongzhong and the others knew this was the Tartars' feint fire, meant specifically to lure them into firing, and paid it no heed. If their own side fired now, the Tartars' saber-and-shield soldiers behind would seize the chance to charge up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, those Qing troops, carrying vast clouds of dust, came rumbling down from the mountain ridge. The Qing soldiers at the front had already charged past the seventy-pace mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new army Squad Commander stationed at that section of the gate defense line bellowed the command, his war blade pointing diagonally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the earthen carts at that spot, and not far away behind the earthen carts on both flanks, the new army matchlockmen — nearly a hundred fine Donglu matchlocks — erupted with fierce flame. Amid the thunderous reports, from the many muzzles, great gouts of gunpowder smoke spewed toward the charging Qing troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the great wave of charging enemy troops, more than a dozen immediately tumbled to the ground as they were hit — not to mention those Han and Korean soldiers who had fired feint shots to lure the enemy, who were the first to fall. Even the Bordered White Banner Qing soldiers behind them, bearing heavy shields, had streams of blood mist burst from their bodies as they staggered and fell down the mountain slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shields in their hands, even if they were iron shields, likewise could provide no protection, and were cracked and shattered one after another by the incoming bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Battle of Julu back then, the Shunxiang Army's old-style powder could not penetrate the Qing troops' iron shields until within thirty or forty paces. But times had changed; the Donglu's powerful powder could pierce heavy armor at a hundred paces. These Qing troops repeated their old trick, but could not achieve the effect of those years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After only a few breaths, the sound of volley fire rang out again. Among the frenziedly charging Qing soldiers, even more were hit and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guozhu's new army matchlockmen used the matchlock relay tactic, with the best marksmen doing the shooting. The several rows of matchlockmen behind them passed their loaded matchlocks into the marksmen's hands, then took back the empty matchlocks and urgently began loading paper cartridge ammunition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their speed in loading ammunition was far from as nimble and swift as the Jingbian Army's matchlockmen, and quite a few errors occurred, this kind of infantry charge — especially since at this moment the several layers of matchlock soldiers each had a loaded gun — allowed them to maintain a ceaseless stream of firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave after wave of volley fire sounded. The charging Qing troops were continuously hit and toppled. For a time, the sound of gunfire and shrieks of agony were unending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yongzhong and the other marksmen, braced behind the earthen carts, fired nervously at the charging Qing soldiers, mechanical and numb. Liu Yongzhong also fired three shots, hitting two of the charging Qing troops. Although they held heavy shields, they were utterly useless, making Liu Yongzhong marvel at the ferocious power of the Donglu matchlocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Tartar soldiers fall with unending screams, joy filled Liu Yongzhong's heart. He howled inwardly, \"Father, Mother, do you see this? Mancang has avenged you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no time to dwell on it. After firing, he immediately passed the empty gun back with his left hand, and with his right received another loaded matchlock. He steadied it on the earthen cart, quickly aimed at a Tartar soldier shielding his body with a shield, and heard the Squad Commander's voice: \"Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, Liu Yongzhong pulled the trigger. With a boom, a plume of flame rose from the touch hole, and then a great cloud of thick smoke spewed from the muzzle. In that lightning-flash instant, Liu Yongzhong saw several large holes torn open in that Qing soldier's shield, and several streams of blood mist rising behind it — several matchlockmen had all aimed at this same Qing soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This round of volley fire struck even more Qing shield-bearers, for they had already charged within forty paces. But having pressed in this close, their casualties were even heavier. The elite shield-bearers and heavy-armored troops at the front had been nearly swept away entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the heavy-armored troops were some Qing archers. Looking at the earthen carts ahead, submerged in dense white smoke, their faces showed expressions of bewilderment. Was such a desperate charge of any use at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These archers, using the momentum of the terrain and the charge, also loosed several waves of high-arcing arrows toward the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, first, the white smoke was so dense they could not see their targets; second, the Ming troops were sheltered by the earthen carts and could not be hit just because one wished to shoot them; third, the Ming matchlockmen all wore cotton armor inlaid with iron plates, so even if arrows fell on them, they could not inflict major wounds. Looking at their own side, anyone hit by a musket ball was either dead or wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Ming troops were not even the terrifying Jingbian Army, yet their matchlocks and fighting power were so deadly. Looking at their own side...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the Great Qing's powerful bows and fierce arrows, once unmatched under heaven, truly become useless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside the complex and fearful psychology of these Qing archers, even as they shot their arrows, they were simultaneously under attack from the Ming matchlockmen on the earthen carts ahead and on both flanks. Following in the footsteps of the heavy-armored troops at the front, they were shot down one after another with miserable screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Qing troops charged within twenty paces, Liu Yongzhong and the others fired another volley. All sound was drowned in the roar of nearly a hundred matchlocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the front of the earthen carts was completely blanketed by the violently erupting white smoke. The acrid smell of gunpowder mixed with the blazing sunlight, along with the occasional stench of blood — it was truly choking beyond compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the swirling smoke, Liu Yongzhong saw at least several dozen Tartar soldiers, drenched in blood, rolling on the ground. Many had their intestines blown out and were merely howling in unbearable agony. Looking further, all he could see were the fleeing backs of the remaining Tartar soldiers in terror. In just a short dozen or so paces, they had lost the courage to charge further. They were fleeing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ming troops were silent for a moment, and then the Ming soldiers behind that section of earthen carts burst into loud cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, along the winding earthen cart position in front of the stockade wall, wave after wave of cheering likewise erupted. Perhaps they were infected by the cheers of their cheering brothers, or perhaps the Tartar soldiers who had sortied from other stockade gates had also been repelled by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that brief battle, Ming matchlocks against Qing shields and bows, the matchlockmen had won a brilliant victory. The fight was a one-sided slaughter: enemy casualties were numerous, while their own casualties were very few. How could Yang Guozhu's new army troops not cheer and leap for joy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swiftly, in their psychology, these new army matchlockmen were transforming into veteran, crack troops!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guozhu stood atop his command cart, holding the telescope gifted by Wang Dou. He saw all the fighting ahead clearly. Suddenly, hot tears welled up in his eyes. His painstaking organization and drilling of the new army had finally succeeded. A powerful army, in his own hands —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— had been born!
