Amid the sound of drums, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the First Group Army of the Fu Han Army advanced in the direction of Zhangjiawan, preparing to directly occupy Zhangjiawan and thus encircle Bali Bridge on the flank.

As the key to this battle, the Bali Bridge was already heavily guarded by the Qing army, and it was not a good idea to attack rashly, so in the idea of the General Staff, capture Zhangjiawan, and then attack Yujiawei to achieve the goal of outflanking the Bali Bridge.

Of course, the Qing army also had a lot of preparations in this battle, and they understood the important position of Zhangjiawei in this battle, so Wang Lubu of Duoluo County personally led 10,000 horse troops to defend Zhangjiawei, in addition, there were 10,000 new troops also strengthened to Zhangjiawan before the war.

Therefore, for the battle of Zhangjiawan, it will be the first hard bone faced by the Fu Han army, once it can be smashed open, it will directly drive the overall situation, among which Ning Chengzu, as the commander of the seventh division, is now responsible for attacking the main position of Zhangjiawan, as for the commander of the 23rd division, Xie Qingchun is responsible for flank cover, mainly dealing with the horse army led by Wang Lubu of Duoluo County.

"Boom—"

Accompanied by the fierce sound of artillery on both sides of the strait, the 7th Division of the Fuhan Army marched towards the position of the Qing army in unison amid the earth-shattering explosion, and in the process, the artillery of the Qing army also began to pull out.

As a witness of the Yongzheng New Deal for several years, the new army of the Qing court regardless of other combat capabilities, at least in terms of artillery strength, has made great progress compared with the past, and each town of the new army will be equipped with an artillery association, equipped with 36 six-pound guns, and they are all new artillery, not the kind of earth-shattering sub-mother guns in the past, although it is inferior to the current artillery power of the Fu Han army, but it is much stronger than in the past.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom—"

The range of the artillery of the Qing army has been much longer than in the past, although their technology is still not mature enough, but at least in this battle, almost all of the shells fired are flowering shells, under the bombardment of dozens of artillery, from time to time several fell into the crowd of the Fu Han army, ploughing out a few bloody paths........

"After being beaten for so many years, I finally have some strength to fight back......."

On the artillery position of the Qing army, a deputy commander of the Eight Banners wearing the uniform of a second-grade military general of the Qing Dynasty, his face was very solemn and he looked extremely calm, but the words he said did not boost morale much, but more of a helpless self-mockery.

The generals of the Qing Dynasty who stood beside him all thought that before that, with their artillery, not to mention suppressing the Fu Han army, there was no room to fight back, and the artillery power, range and even number were not as good as the Fu Han army, and they were blown up at every turn, so the artillery battle often became the Fu Han army from beginning to end.

It's just that before everyone was happy, they saw that a large number of black spots had appeared in the sky, and those were all projectiles fired by the artillery of the Fu Han Army, and it was obvious that this was a covering blow to the artillery position of the Qing army.

The deputy capital of the Eight Banners still stood in place, not dodging or dodging, because there was no point in dodging at this time, but he looked at the advancing formation of the Fu Han army with heavy eyes, and his expression was extremely calm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war has forced us to trade our lives for our lives....... The artillery doesn't need to care about anything else, they will go all out to fire at the Fuhan Army and serve the emperor, just today! ”

"Serve the emperor, just today!"

A series of flowering bomb explosions sounded on the Qing army's position, and the sky-high flames instantly engulfed the Qing army, and they never really escaped from the battlefield half a step until they died.

In this era, the cruelty of war is like two people without any armor, slashing each other with long swords, and neither side can take a step back, because if you take a step back, the other person's long sword will cut off the head.

The same is true for the current Fu Han army and the Qing army, under the crazy attack of each other's artillery, the soldiers on both sides cannot choose to retreat, and once they retreat, it is easy to turn into chaos on the battlefield.

"Forward!"

With the rumbling cannons, the advance of the Fu Han army was very rhythmic, not in a hurry or slow, but the psychological pressure on the new army of the Eight Banners on the opposite side was quite strong, because in the winter sun, the bayonets under the neat array of soldiers of the Fu Han army glowed with cold light from time to time, making people feel creepy at a glance.

The Eight Banners New Army instantly became nervous, although they had been trained for a long time, but after all, they could not compare to the strength of the Fu Han Army, and most of them had never really been on the battlefield, so although they had a strong fighting spirit at this time, they were still a little weak after all, and some people even began to sweat on their foreheads.

Just when the array was a little unstable, and there was even a buzzing discussion, a Eight Banners leader in cotton armor let out an angry roar, and he looked at these Eight Banners soldiers with a slightly disdainful look.

"What are you afraid of! They are also human beings, and they are also the first life! ”

"The muskets in your hands, the bayonets on your waists, that's what can kill people!"

"Isn't it possible to keep running? The Qing Dynasty has lost all the rivers and mountains except Zhili, if you don't dare to fight again, what if you run outside the customs in the future? ”

Zuo Ling's voice was a little sad, "My eldest brother died in Shandong, and my second brother died in Henan....... I'm going to die here today, as long as I'm still a master of the Eight Banners, follow me to fight! ”

There will never be a shortage of people who will stand up for any collective when it is about to perish, and although they are of no real use to the situation, their very existence should not be taken lightly.

It's just that the Eight Banners New Army, who were excited at this time, will soon realize one thing, that is, no matter how the small universe erupts, lack of actual combat experience is a lack of actual combat experience, and they will soon be taught to be human on the battlefield........

The four long horizontal formations of the Fu Han army began to approach in parallel, approaching the Qing army's position, from two hundred paces to a hundred paces, and then to a distance of eighty paces.

Ning Chengzu squinted slightly at the Eight Banners New Army army opposite, and then the command knife in his hand slashed down.

"Fire!"

After hearing the order, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army held the muskets in their hands in unison, and then pulled the trigger, and with a violent roar, accompanied by thick white smoke, I saw a row of bullets pouring directly in the direction of the Qing army.

I saw a splash of blood in the Qing army's array, and many Qing soldiers were shot and fell, and then the soldiers in the direction of the Qing army suddenly appeared in a commotion, but they were quickly quelled by the Qing army general Zuo with the back of his knife.

Then the three rounds of salvo fire of the Han army began to shoot in rotation, and the dense rain of bullets for a time pressed the new army of the Eight Banners to not raise their heads, just three rounds of salvo fire, which had already caused more than 800 casualties, but this time it made the generals of the Qing army anxious.

"Defend the emperor, defend the Qing Dynasty! Come along! ”

The Eight Banners New Army was the deputy commander of the Blue Banner Duoerqi hurriedly issued the order to attack, only to see the Eight Banners New Army two associations of more than 8,000 people marching in the direction of the Fu Han Army, they were also divided into three columns, lined up in a long formation, and leveled the muskets in the direction of the Fu Han Army.

"Hold the gun steady, as long as we eliminate the traitors on the opposite side, it will be a great hero in the future!"

Some of the leaders and leaders of the Eight Banners New Army shouted loudly, holding long knives in their hands, looking at the soldiers of the Fu Han Army opposite, with a bit of bloodlust on their faces.

"Bang bang bang-"

It was not the muskets of the New Army of the Eight Banners that rang out, but the new volley of the Fu Han Army began, which clearly reflected the shortcomings of the Qing Army's current muskets, the loading ammunition was too complicated, and the rate of fire was too slow to be compared with the rotation of the Fu Han Army.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After the Fu Han army finished a round of guns again, the soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army fell down by a thousand people, and the remaining Qing soldiers finally pulled the muskets in their hands, but compared to the neat and uniform Fu Han army guns, the Qing army's guns were a little messy, but finally knocked down more than 200 soldiers in the direction of the Fu Han army, and made a good start.

However, at this time, the blows inflicted on each other by the two sides are completely different, but anyone with a discerning eye can see the current decline of the Qing army, as long as it continues to fight like this, the new army stationed in Zhangjiawan is afraid that it will be completely wiped out by the Fu Han army.

..........

"You can't continue to fight like this, the Ma army must rush!"

Doluo County Wang Lubu's brows furrowed slightly, he had already seen the current decline of the Qing army clearly, if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that it would be useless to die...... After all, it is up to Ma Jun to solve the problem.

"They still have a division that hasn't moved, and if they rush now, I'm afraid they'll have to fight with them......"

The Eight Banners Cavalry Battalion is the Blue Banner Commander Monk Bao frowned, the tens of thousands of horse troops in his hands are not casually dispatched, and he is a little hesitant at the moment, unwilling to throw the horse army on the consumption in vain.

Doro County Wang Luan Bu snorted coldly, "The current situation is difficult, not only the horse team, but also the new army is also being consumed...... It's all hit to this point, and if you don't rush, it's too late, Seng Bao, this king will let the new army respond further, and try to attract another division of Chu Rebellion. ”

Monk Bao nodded slightly, he glanced at the current formation through the clairvoyant mirror, and saw that the two sides were still in the period of dissipation, and he also understood at the moment that there would be no better chance if he waited any longer.

"Lord Wang, please please, our Daqing horse team is not something these barbarians can deal with."

"Monk Bao, our Qing Dynasty is now at the time of life and death, you have to show the emperor, our Qing Dynasty's iron horse, or the iron horse of the year!" The king of Doro County sighed slightly.

"Come on, lord, let's go here."

The monk gave a salute to the king of Doluo County, and then went to mobilize the horse team, nearly 10,000 eight banner vests in this era, no matter from what level, it is a top power, even the Fu Han army is most concerned about the Qing army's vest.

Nearly 10,000 vests were immense, they were wearing cotton armor, holding wooden spears and sabers in their hands, and they did not choose to charge from the beginning, but under the leadership of Seng Bao, they began to move around the camp of the Fu Han army, and they would move to the rear of the left flank of the Fu Han army, in order to wait for the opportunity to attack the possible flawed position of the Fu Han army.

Just when the Qing army's vest moved, Emperor Yongzheng also saw such a scene, due to the reason that the command was not synchronized in the war, so he did not send people to ask questions, but ordered other Qing army horses and new troops to prepare, so as to achieve the attack and contain the attention of the Han army.

Therefore, on the surface, the current Fu Han army and the Qing army are only fighting in Zhangjiawan, but the battle in Zhangjiawan is always related to the overall battle situation of the two sides.

Just when the Qing army made a move, this scene naturally could not hide the eyes of the Fu Han army, in the plan formulated by the General Staff, there were naturally relevant countermeasures, with a burst of orders, I saw that the Fu Han army on the battlefield also began to converge, from Zhangjiawan to Bali Bridge, and then to near Maju Bridge, began to close the formation.

The adjustment of the formation of the two sides is naturally not something that can be completed in an instant, it takes a long time to adjust, so when the two sides adjust, the new army in the direction of Zhangjiawan has suffered a lot.

After a few rounds of shooting, the Fu Han army almost slashed off a large piece of meat from the Eight Banners New Army, and was dizzy by the rain-like projectiles, causing a large number of casualties, not to mention that even the speed of shooting became slower, and the proportion of casualties on both sides began to increase sharply.

"Don't panic, don't shake your hands...... The more panicked, the faster you die! ”

Seeing that the Fu Han army began to step on the steps and approached little by little, the Qing army staff leaders and assistant leaders began to panic, they shouted and scolded those panicked Eight Banner soldiers, their previous training almost began to fail on the battlefield, and many people no longer knew what they should do.

"Sixty Steps ......"

"Fifty Steps ......."

When the distance became shorter and shorter, the Qing army finally fired a round of guns, but unfortunately because too many people were too nervous, many people forgot to take off the stabbing strips, resulting in a large number of projectiles that were originally thought to be fired out one by one and hit the body of the Fu Han army.

Seeing such a scene, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army were naturally overjoyed, they knew that the mentality of the Qing army had gradually collapsed, so they decisively began to move forward and continue to press up, and they no longer had the slightest worry about the muskets of the Eight Banners New Army.

"Forty Steps ......"

"Thirty steps ......."

When there were only thirty paces left, the Fu Han army finally stopped, they all held the muskets in their hands, and then pulled the trigger, only to hear a violent sound transmitting, coupled with a thick white smoke permeating out, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke finally became a symbol of hell.

What is even more terrifying is the thousands of projectiles fired at a distance of thirty paces, they drilled into the body of the Qing army at such a close distance, with an incomparable speed, bursting countless blood splashes, almost a whole row of Qing troops, fell to the ground, and the number of casualties was conservatively estimated to exceed 1,500........

After such a round of blows, the Qing army's defense force in Zhangjiawan fell into a complete collapse, and it became almost an inevitable fact that the position changed hands.
