The iron-clad shield shook the straight blade, and the Manchurian Eight Banners warrior in white cotton armor swung his sword, forcing the Ming army to retreat half a step.

The fierce battle continued, and the morale of the Green Battalion was greatly boosted by the participation of the Eight Banners Army, and it was no longer as pure as Fang Cai's suppression. However, there is still a gap in the technical and tactical level of the two sides, which makes the damage of the Qing army remain high, but the confidence in victory in the heart has increased a lot, so the word casualties are not taken into account for the time being.

The two wings were like this, but at the junction of the center of the Ming army's battle array, the fierce offensive of the Eight Banners Army pressed the two already tired Ming armies to retreat step by step.

The degree of depression became more pronounced over time, and it spread to both wings. Sukh Sahatema is under the banner of the handsome, which is slightly higher than the place where the formation is located, and has a better view. It can be seen here that the Qing army is still passively beaten on the left and right flanks, but at the junction, the pattern of a central breakthrough has been formed. Next, it is nothing more than the Ming army to complete the defeat of the Qing army on the left and right flanks first, or the Qing army to complete the central breakthrough of the junction first.

The Ming troops on both wings are still fighting bravely, but the morale of the green battalion is greatly boosted, and it is obviously not something that can be achieved overnight if you want to achieve defeat. In contrast, the flaws in the junction of the Ming army were torn bigger and bigger by those Eight Banner Army, and if the current trend continues, it is likely that those Eight Banner Army will complete the task of breaking through the central government first.

Seeing all this, Sukh Saha already had a premonition of victory, even stronger than when he blocked Lu Mingchen in Changde. Because, after all, that battle was a night battle, and the probability of variables was too great, but now it was a battle with a dignified array. Moreover, the terrain here is so limited, although it restricts the use of cavalry by the Qing army, but it also overwhelms the minimum possible variables.

"Unless, no, Chen Kai is not here, there will be no unless!"

After all, he is a talented man with a brilliant record, and in the matter of Chen Kai's ability, Suke Saha is still vigilant. However, there is Hong Chengchou in northern Guangdong, and Chen Kai will only fight with him there. It is not a pity for Sukh Saha not to be able to appreciate that battle of wits in northern Guangdong, but if it is compared with the main force that defeated or even annihilated the Ming army in Ganzhou, he will not have the slightest concern.

The depression is becoming more and more obvious in the line of sight, and it is getting closer and closer to this great victory. Sukh Saha could even imagine that when the Manchu court received his victory, it would rejoice and sweep away the decline of the past few years. And he, first killed Lu Mingchen in Changde, and now he is about to defeat Ke Chenshu and Huangshan, even if there is no Chen Kai in this, it is enough to make him one of the famous generals of the new generation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and become one of the best.

Such a premonition made Sukh Saha feel excited. However, the battle was not decided, and he did not dare to distract himself at all, and it was only for a moment, and he returned to the full concentration he had before that moment. It's a pity that at this moment, the hastily closed junction of the Ming army was behind the piece that would not take long to be penetrated by the Eight Banners Army, and a big flag had been erected directly.

At such a distance, he couldn't see what was written on it at all, but a bad premonition came to his heart, and with the return of the officers at the front, the dazzling words suddenly filled his mind, and he couldn't tolerate anything beside him anymore.

"Chen Kai? No way! Looking into the distance, I tried to see the big words and the small characters on the side clearly. But the distance is so far, Rao is good at riding and shooting, and his eyesight is excellent, but he still can't see clearly, even the biggest word.

"No, Hong Chengchou's minion is in Yingde County, the Southwest Jingbiao is also there, Chen Kai's Fubiao and his henchman Li Jianjie are all there, he can't be here at all!"

It is impossible to determine whether this is a trick played by Ke Chenshu or Huang Shan to "scare away Shengzhongda", but Suke Saha firmly believes in the strong combat effectiveness of his Eight Banners Army. At this time, the vision suddenly appeared, but he did not waver in the slightest, and even directly issued an order to the few Niu Lu who were attacking the Ming army's junction, ordering them to continue the onslaught and increase the merit of cutting down the banner.

The offensive momentum of the Eight Banners Army became more and more violent, and under the banner of Chen Zi behind the battle, a civilian official wearing a scarlet official robe and embroidered with a brocade rooster patch pattern sat on his horse, as if he was sitting in the court and discussing. Only those eyes stared straight at the banner of the commander of the Qing army in the distance, cold and piercing.

"How long will it take to put on the armor?"

"If you return to the Fu Army, the cuirass and leg armor have been put on, and now the whole team is hurrying to wear other parts."

"Hmm."

When the words fell, Chen Kai still didn't look back at the armor of the Ming army behind the Shuai Banner, his eyes were only Suke Saha and the Ganzhou capital city behind Suke Saha from beginning to end, and nothing else.

In the confrontation after the fierce battle between Britain and Germany, Hong Chengchou posed a great threat to the grain route of the Ming army, which also made Chen Kai's two troops in Fubiao and Hussar Town, Guangdong, which were mobilized to the south, only continue to exist on that battlefield. At first, he tried his best to adjust the grain and grass transportation channels, so as not to affect the war in the capital of Ganzhou. But as time went by, Chen Kai felt more and more that the taste was wrong, and the wrong place was precisely on Hong Chengchou's body!

Hong Chengchou cut into northern Guangdong and played a posture of cutting off the grain route of the Ming army, so Chen Kai quickly went south and defeated the main force of Jingbiao in the north of Yingde County.

After this scene ended, it stands to reason that the Qing army should withdraw to the three counties of Lianzhou to recuperate, but Hong Chengchou not only did not do this, but only retreated past Huangshui and continued to maintain pressure on the Beijiang grain road. The Ming army that destroyed the waterway and harassed Yingde and Qingyuan counties was supplemented by the Nan Yikui Division, and Hong Chengchou did not dare to rashly go north to Yingde again to fight to the death with Chen Kai, but the toad's kung fu still made a full set.

The Southwest Economic Standard, or Hong Chengchou, has always maintained a sense of presence there, which cannot be called deliberate, but Chen Kai does not feel that this is enough for Hong Chengchou to be here for a long time, especially with the readjustment of the grain route, although the military supply of the Ming army is difficult, it has not been completely cut off.

Why did Hong Chengchou waste his energy here, and what he wanted to do, Chen Kai didn't know. However, after analyzing the current situation, Chen Kai clearly realized that it was difficult to complete the expulsion of the southwest warp with the strength of the Ming army in northern Guangdong. It doesn't make sense for him to spend it down, in that case, it is better to use this time of confrontation to play a new trick, and the key core of his trick is the reinforcements that arrived belatedly after the First World War between Britain and Germany!

Behind the banner, a group of about 300 Ming infantry was lining up to put on armor. The armor on their bodies is very different from the cotton armor and armor commonly used by the Ming army around them, and the shape is the structure of the armor, but the style seems to be two pieces of clothing woven with armor pieces and ropes.

Zhang Keding stood behind the handsome banner, his hands and legs were slightly apart, he was a soldier, he didn't need to put on armor himself, he had specially trained auxiliaries to wear armor for him, and he only needed to cooperate. His arms were inserted into his sleeves through the opening behind his back, and his own auxiliaries helped him tighten and tie the rope from the collar that had been erected behind his back to form a neck guard to the opening that hung down over his hips. The leg armor is not worn, but divided into two parts, the front and back, which are still tightened and fastened by ropes. This made him feel very awkward, and even if it weren't for the special belt around his waist to bind him around his waist and abdomen, he would always feel that these pants would fall off after wearing them for a long time.

In terms of armor, these are the two most important parts, and they are also the heaviest parts. Rao has worn it many times during practice, but when he wears it on his body again, it still looks very heavy, as if there is a weight of dozens of catties attached to his body, and it takes more strength than normal to raise his hand and throw his feet.

After putting on the cuirass and leg armor, Zhang Keding had already put on the iron boots by himself. At the same time, one of the auxiliaries helped tie the rope, and the other escort brought an iron helmet with an iron mask and put it on his head.

Since the iron helmet and the iron mask were one, after putting them on, there was a moment of darkness, just waiting for the auxiliary soldier to wrap the strap on the helmet around his chin, Zhang Keding opened his eyes again, and his gaze extended from the long strip-like gap on the iron mask. Then, he took a Yunnan horse chopping knife with both hands, and signaled to the head of the team that the armor was finished.

The infantry of 300 men had 600 auxiliaries on the side to assist in putting on the armor, in order to complete the process of putting on the armor as quickly as possible and at the most opportune time and speed. Because, this armor is really a bit too heavy, and it is inevitable that these tall and strong men will also become a burden after a long period of training.

At this moment, after the armor was finished, Zhang Keding was holding his blades, and only waited for the figure who seemed to be Zhuge Kongming under the handsome banner to give an order, and the battle formation in front of him, which had been sunken a lot, quickly retracted into the respective battle formations of the two wings, and gave way to the road leading to Chen Kaishuaiqi. At this time, I saw that the right arm was to the left of the body, and when I returned to the side, there was already a sword made by Seiko, and it pointed to the Eight Banners warrior who was already able to kill the leader at the passage.

"Iron Man, attack!"

With a blade in hand and a firm and heavy step, Zhang Keding and the others were also in groups of three, and they directly crossed Chen Kai's handsome banner in formation.

At this moment, those Manchurian Eight Banner warriors suddenly broke through under the retreat of the Ming troops on both flanks, and rushed into this passage without even hesitation, and launched an attack on the left and right flanks at the same time. This is the inevitable rhythm of attack after the central breakthrough, and the more important thing is to pounce straight up and cut down the opponent's handsome banner, thus shaking the morale of the entire enemy battle formation.

These Manchurian Eight Banner warriors are all old soldiers, and their victories over the years have made them familiar with this, as if they were used to it, and Niu Lu, who was in different positions, took on their respective tasks, without the slightest scramble and procrastination.

At this time, the two most elite Niu Lu under the command of Suke Saha were rushing to the front, heading straight for Chen Kai's handsome banner, and even the civil officials in the scarlet official uniform under the handsome banner could already be seen. It's a pity that in just a blink of an eye, the Ming army wearing iron armor came out of the crowd and directly blocked Chen Kai behind him, and even blocked this passage solidly.

The armor pieces were polished and shining in the sun, and this piece of ironclad jungle only shook these Manchurian warriors to stop. They can naturally see that this Ming army is different from the Ming army around them, not only in terms of heavy iron armor, but also in terms of weapons, which must be Chen Kai's killer weapon again.

Encountering hard stubble, these Manchurian warriors did not rush forward rashly, but regrouped into formation, and then pressed forward with the same firm and heavy formation.

The opponent had no shield, and these Manchurian Eight Banner warriors immediately pressed the pikemen to the front line. The spear pointed obliquely, and the shining tip of the spear became clearer and clearer in Zhang Keding's sight. Soon, the two sides approached to the distance where they could no longer continue to walk forward, only to see a loud shout from the Qing army, and the spearman in front of Zhang Keding straightened his spear and stabbed him straight in the abdomen!

didn't dodge, didn't dodge, Zhang Keding raised the Yunnan horse chopping knife in his hand and slashed it directly. On one side was a spear of seven or eight feet, and on the other side was a broadsword composed of a four-foot wooden handle and a three-foot blade.

At this moment, I saw that the spear pierced directly on the nail leaf in Zhang Keding's lower abdomen, and the heavy nail leaf was twisted and deformed under the straight stab that poured all his strength, and even Zhang Keding's body was pushed a little at this moment. But in such a moment, the sword light of the Yunnan horse chopping knife in Zhang Keding's hand flashed, and the arm of the Manchurian warrior was broken in response, and the powerful blade was not hindered at all, and it was directly cut between the waist and abdomen of the Manchurian warrior along the trajectory of the severed arm.

The white white flag cotton armor is made by the best cotton armor craftsmen, but in front of the sharp Yunnan horse chopping knife, just like the armor on the arm, it seems to be a rag, and it does not cause any hindrance, only to see that the knife has been chopped, and a diagonal gap suddenly appeared in the lower abdomen of the Manchurian warrior, and the intestines that were colorful and broken one by one came out directly.

The Manchurian warriors fell in response, and the original snow-white cotton armor had turned into a tattered furoshi, revealing the corruption inside just by tearing it slightly.

Zhang Keding is not the kind of chick who has never seen the world, and it is not the first time he has killed people on the battlefield, and he has seen all kinds of scenes. Here, with a slash, he didn't bother to pay attention to the Manchurian warrior who had lost his ability to fight, put away his knife and held it, strode forward, and pressed it directly against the next Manchurian warrior holding a sword and shield.

The scene just now suddenly appeared in front of the Manchurian warrior's eyes, which really shocked him a jaw-dropping, just this knife, the friend in front of him who had been side by side for many years was killed on the spot by the Ming army, and the death was so tragic that he couldn't accept this fact.

In an instant, another slash came, but this time it was aimed at him. Rao is still in shock just now, the perennial martial arts, plus the desperate bloody battles on the battlefield for many years, as if it was a conditioned reflex, this Manchurian warrior held a shield in his left arm to block Zhang Keding's attack, and stabbed forward with a knife in his right arm, and a loud shout of the word "kill" sounded, just like his performance in all the battles over the years, so clean and neat, without the slightest delay.

The waist knife stabbed directly, but it was a pity that this subconscious counterattack was obviously broken a few feet. The Manchurian warrior secretly said that it was not good, and immediately strengthened the strength of his left arm, trying to withstand the blow. However, the blade of the Yunnan chopping knife fell, still a diagonal pull chop, the blade was in the iron-clad shield contact moment, only to see the shield along the trajectory of the blade, twisted, broken, sinking momentum will be the Manchurian warrior holding the shield left arm to the chest. The crisp sound of fractures had just sounded, and the shield was split with a knife, and the blade was as unstoppable as Mount Tai's pressure, cutting through the left shoulder of the Manchurian warrior, breaking through the cotton armor, like the chest, ribs, and spine, but it failed to form the slightest deterrent, let alone the heart and lungs.

The blade burst out of the cotton armor from the ribs on the right side, and in the disbelief of the Manchurian warrior, the ribcage gradually dislocated from the lower body along the place where the blade passed, and then fell to the ground, bringing the lower body to the ground.

At this time, Zhang Keding's loud shout of the word "kill" had just been exported!
