The loss of Pei County may be just around the corner. This is the conclusion that Chen Jin has reached in his heart.

Chen Jin obviously didn't know that it would be really difficult for the Northern Expeditionary Army to find another round of salvo shells at this time, including the Tiger Squat Cannon, and to continue the battle, I am afraid that there would only be a musket in his hand and a grenade on his waist.

At the same time, Chen Jin lacked the knowledge of artillery, in his opinion, such a fierce artillery bombardment was by no means something that the Peixian city wall could withstand, but in fact, the shelling of the tiger squat cannon was only suitable for killing and injuring light infantry in field battles, and was almost useless to the city wall, and even the defenders on the city wall were not effective, because the range was too close, and it was difficult to reach the firing range to open artillery.

Speaking of which, you have to blame Wu Zheng for "luxury", you said that the two armies were fighting, and they were so generous when there was not much ammunition, how could you not let others think that there were too many shells, and they were inexhaustible?

Chen Jin can only make a desperate bet, the crime of losing the army and losing the city, I am afraid that he will really not be able to go back to Yanzhou.

It's light to go back and masturbate, and you have to lose your head if you don't do it.

The only way is to turn defeat into victory, and to win this battle, at least you have to make a name, which is called turning the merit into a crime.

Since it is impossible for the city wall to block the enemy's artillery, it is better for the whole army to press on it, and fight to the death with the enemy, there is still a glimmer of life.

This idea made Chen Jin break the jar.

As he rode his horse and shouted, "War is death, retreat is death, then fight!" ”

A field battle of tens of thousands of people on both sides broke out so inadvertently outside Xiaopei County.

Chen Jin's idea was right.

So far, he actually only has cavalry, and the main force has not been damaged.

But Wu Zheng's "generosity" forced Chen Jin to give up defending the city and take the initiative to attack.

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded, happy and dumbfounded.

Isn't this bread when you're hungry and umbrellas when it's raining?

I was still thinking about it, the shells were gone, and I had to find another way to attack the city, otherwise I had to wait for the supplies to arrive, but now it's okay, the enemy took the initiative to attack, you must know that at this time, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army are greatly boosted by the annihilation of the enemy knights.

So Wu Zheng waved his hand, "This king is the best at beating water dogs...... Attack! ”

……。

The next battle naturally could not be as simple as Wu Zheng waving his hand.

Chen Jin's Zhenglan Banner Han Army also entered the customs from outside Shanhaiguan.

The skills of the person who controls the strings are by no means vain, and within sixty steps, he can definitely shoot wherever he wants.

Of course, the muskets of the Northern Expeditionary Army were not burning sticks, much higher than the range of bows and arrows, which was definitely a nightmare for the Qing army.

It is a pity that there were no repeating guns.

After a volley overturned hundreds of Qing troops, the soldiers quickly rushed forward with spears.

Everything was as orderly as training.

The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and the artillery, which did not have much ammunition left, lost the possibility of firing because the two sides were stuck together.

But at this time, the crossbowmen of the Qing army had a chance to show it.

The rain of arrows shot at the Northern Expeditionary Army through the air, and it is conceivable that the casualties were extremely large.

At the moment when the arrow landed, the area where the two sides were approaching, on the side of the Northern Expeditionary Army, almost formed a pit.

No less than 200 men were killed or wounded in the attack, but then the crowd surged rapidly, submerging the crater, and nothing could be seen from what had happened.

War is like this, these are the words of Wu Zheng, who watched the battle, when he comforted himself in his heart.

As soon as the enemy and the enemy get close to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the superiority or inferiority of the weapon is quickly revealed.

There is a way that one inch is long and one point strong, and one inch short is one point dangerous, and the guy in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is only one inch longer than the enemy army, is simply double the length.

At the time of the first wave of contact, the Qing army's first forward was caught off guard and was pierced by the spears of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Here we want to talk about the spear spurs of the Northern Expeditionary Army, although the military workshop has used steam engines to forge steel, and the toughness has been greatly improved, but it is almost impossible to forge guns of the same quality as later generations.

After inspecting more than a dozen samples, Wu Zheng was not satisfied, so he came up with a stupid way - aggravation.

Bayonets, especially triangular spurs, if there is no high-quality material, such a slender spine will most likely break when it comes into contact with something hard.

Therefore, the spear stabbing of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is said to be a thorn, is actually a sword, no, to be precise, it is more like the tip of a spear.

The weight of the spear weighed three catties and six taels, which was almost the weight of a short sword.

Let's put it this way, the military workshop tested it at that time, and after stabbing it with a gun, it stabbed the iron plate with all its might, and the "ding" sounded, and the tip of the bayonet was blunt, but the bayonet was fine.

The mass-produced imitation flint musket, the wooden parts are made of genuine elm and oak wood, and after baking, dewaxing, pressing, soaking in oil and other steps, simply put, the barrel of the musket is upside down and smashed into the enemy, which is absolutely no less than a mace.

In the spearman training of the military academy, there is a basic action, that is, when the bayonet is put on and the charge begins, the butt is pinched and the elbow arm is retracted as much as possible, which makes nearly half of the gun body behind.

This action, on the one hand, is for the inertia of the forward stab, but on the other hand, in the eyes of the Qing army, who has no experience in hand-to-hand combat with the Northern Expeditionary Army, this gun is far from that long.

This made the Qing army at the front think that the knife in their hands was enough to reach the oncoming Northern Expeditionary Army, this visual fallacy, so that the Qing army suffered a dumb loss, the Qing army in the front row, almost did not believe that they were dead, the gun in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the blink of an eye, stabbed through their body, the key is that they have been unable to make a sound to remind the people behind them.

Fortunately, the Qing saber and shield soldiers quickly stepped forward, and their standing shield was also considered strong, but think about it, in motion, the standing shield could not be directly inserted into the ground, and it could only be relied on by a single person's body to resist.

As a result, when several spears stab the shield, the shield soldier will not be able to resist retreating.

This retreat caused a lot of confusion in the Qing army.

It was not until the Qing army arrived that the spearmen arrived and stopped the rapid advance of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

At this point, the bows and crossbows of the Qing army were no longer useful, and both sides suffered casualties and fell into a stalemate.

In fact, all the battles that coincide with each other seem to be fierce, but they are often the ones with the least losses.

On the bright side, no one is a monster with four arms and eight legs.

Unless at this time, an external force intervenes.

Will there be an external force?

……。

Wu Zheng was waiting.

When it comes to this, there is no need for much command.

Troops, weapons, and strategies are all on the bright side.

The advantages that both sides relied on to be proud, the Qing army's city defense, cavalry, bows and crossbows, and the artillery and muskets of the Northern Expeditionary Army were all gone.

Even because of the increasing distance, the two sides fought almost face-to-face, spears, spears, scimitars, and shields, obviously not as convenient and simple as fists, elbows, and knees.

The fight is back to the "ancient" era, and inadvertently, the soldiers on both sides have begun to show their "fangs".
