The Qing army marched north from the main position of the Qing army on the southern front, relying on the cavalry of the brigade, and the Qing army in the north finally blocked the only way for the Ming army in eastern Guangdong and Li Dingguo's department to achieve the north-south flank attack on the main force of the Qing army.

The Qing army divided its troops to the north to intercept, and Chen Kai was anxious to attack southward, and only brought the first few towns to land, and the rest of the towns were still in the process of landing, or on the way to come, and did not enter the battlefield. At this moment, contrary to the southern front, here is the main defense of the Qing army and the main attack of the Ming army, all of which serve their respective strategic and tactical intentions.

Tanma reported that most of the Qing troops intercepted in the north were green battalion soldiers, but there were also about 3,000 feudal soldiers, and the banner came from the Jingnan Domain. The commander's banner is clearly written with a big Xu character, even if you don't see those small characters, you can immediately think of the number one general in Jingnan Domain who was once captured by the Ming army.

"It turned out to be Xu Degong, it seems that Shang Kexi that dog thief has really started to play with his life!"

At this moment, the Qing army arrived in a hurry and was beginning to form a team, with 3,000 feudal soldiers and 15,000 green battalions, sealing the southbound passage more and more tightly. In comparison, the Ming army only had 11,000 soldiers in seven towns - Chen Kai's Fubiao, Ke Chenshu's Left Admiral Zuozhen and Left Admiral Right Town, Zhou Quanbin's Qianchong Town and Langden's Reinforcement Town, in addition to Li Jianjie's Hussar Town and Wang Qifeng's Iron Cavalry Town, the two cavalry that had already advanced fought with the cavalry of the Qing army.

The Qing army may not be able to deploy for a while, and even after all of it is deployed, some troops will not be able to engage in the battle at the first time, and that side has become the reserve of the army. And on Chen Kai's side, several towns are placed there, and they can barely stretch the battle line, that's it. As for the reserves, one can only hope that the subsequent towns will follow up as soon as possible.

Obviously, the Ming army had more troops on the northern front, but it took time to land. During this time, Chen Kai could send a clipper down the river to deliver the arriving military information to Li Dingguo's hands as soon as possible, but he couldn't complete the landing task of 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, because the scale of the Ming army was too huge.

In the distance, the Qing army was still in a group, but it seemed that they were coming in a hurry, and the limited small artillery or something was left behind, and they couldn't come up at all for a while. On the side of the Ming army, they are also in a hurry, and being able to organize people and horses is already a quality cultivated by these troops after many years of training and almost a big war, otherwise it is also a fool's dream.

The two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties on the southern front were trying their best to attack and kill, and at this moment it seemed that the battle had broken out, but Chen Kai couldn't see it at all, and the messenger who returned against the current was far from returning, it was nothing more than an estimate. But on the southern front, these two armies were also so hasty that they had degenerated into outright cold-weapon warfare, if not for the fact that there were still some birds in the army.

His gaze stretched out on the telescope, and Chen Kai let out a sneer. The Ming army was advancing in formation, and the speed was slightly slower, but after encountering the Qing army's interception troops, it could have a faster response. Seeing that the Qing army was still in the whole team, Chen Kai waved his hand, the thunderous war drums sounded, the banner of the governor of Zhangquan Chaohui and the four prefectures pressed forward, and the general flag of Fubiao in the center was the first to respond, and then, the phalanx with a five-foot spear rolled south with heavy and solid steps.

Fubiao in the center marched, and the left commander of the left flank, the left and right towns, and the right flank's forward and reinforcing towns also did not give a cent, and fearlessly pressed towards the Qing army, which was superior to them.

In front of the two armies, the space was pressed narrower and narrower by the phalanx advancing by the Ming army. With the infantry behind the formation as the backing, although the number of cavalry of the Ming army was small, it gradually pressed the cavalry of the Qing army further and further south. However, the battle formation behind them had not yet been completed, and they did not dare to retreat into the formation immediately, so they had to continue to delay the advance of the Ming army.

Without artillery, neither side has a long-range kill capability of more than 150 meters. The Ming army strode forward, while the Qing cavalry tried their best to harass them. However, the Ming army was not without cavalry, and soon, as the distance continued to close, the battle formation of the Ming army suddenly stopped, and at the same time as the whole team, the forward step archers raised their bows and arrows, and released the tightly fastened bowstring at a considerable angle.

The arrows rose into the air like flying locusts, and the distance between the two armies was still two hundred meters away, and this distance was absolutely impossible to cause damage to the Qing army's battle array, but before the moment of shooting, the handsome flag waved, and the cavalry of the Ming army began to turn their horses' heads and retreat to both sides.

Before the superior cavalry of the Qing army could pursue, the rain of arrows in the sky had already been struck down, and even a group of people turned on their backs. The riding bow is generally not as long as the shooting range of the foot bow, and if it is a counter-shooting, it will suffer even more. But even so, even if there were quite a few casualties at the moment, the Qing army was still under the command of Xu Degong's handsome banner, and took advantage of the retreat of the Ming cavalry to rush towards the Ming army's large array.

The difference in firing range is not a small difference between 100 and 99 paces, but only 50 or 60 paces to face an opponent with a full 100 to 120 paces.

The Ming army's upward shooting soon turned into a direct shot, and the cavalry of the Qing army continued to fall from their horses, but the rolling iron stream was still stunned. Soon, the infantry archers on the side of the Ming army retreated, and the spearmen and pikemen extended the spears and spears to reject the horses, while the rattan players also raised their shields and prepared the tactical movements that had become accustomed to training for a long time.

After entering fifty or sixty steps, the return fire of the cavalry unfolded, and the rain of arrows swept under the momentum of the iron cavalry, crackling and smashing the battle formation of the Ming army.

Rattan cards, rattan helmets and cotton armor, while the Ming soldiers carried the attack of the Qing cavalry, the foot archers who retreated to the rear of the formation also shot back one after another.

The arrows crossed the parabola in the sky, and the accuracy was long gone, but with the number and probability, it still continued to kill and injure the cavalry of the Qing army. Almost the whole process was shot by the Ming army, and in front of him was a forest of spears that refused to be a horse in front of the battle, and the cavalry of the Qing army was not a heavy cavalry, and naturally there was no reason to hit the spear forest, and not far away, turned directly, and at the same time threw out the last round of arrow rain, and the Ming army screamed again and again in an instant.

The cavalry of the Qing army swept by, stirring up a burst of dust, but the Ming army was not without cavalry, and they would not let them be so arrogant. Only when they rushed directly into the Ming army's main array, the Ming cavalry that had withdrawn from the two wings had already turned back, followed the cavalry of the Qing army, and slashed and killed anyone who fell behind.

The cavalry chased and fought, and the Ming army pressed forward step by step, and the wounded Qing cavalry along the way were killed with swords, and the follow-up auxiliaries cut off the heads one by one and threw them in the prepared baskets.

This is used to remember meritorious service after the war, and it should not be neglected. However, the pace of the Ming army's advance was not affected in the slightest, and it was not until the time of the hundred paces that the formation of the Qing army gradually extended, and the cavalry on both sides had withdrawn, retreating from the interval between the divisions to the rear of the formation, while the archers were throwing bows and arrows at their counterparts on the opposite side......

Hand-to-hand combat broke out at the moment of contact, and the green battalions of the Qing army were all from the north and southern Jiangxi, and they were still the most skilled tactics in their daily lives - using pikemen to resist horses, breaking the formation with sword and shield soldiers, tearing openings, taking advantage of the situation to cover up, relying on the advantages of more veterans in their army and more skilled sword and shield soldiers to crush their opponents.

After all, after the Qing court swept the world after entering the customs, the old Ming army and the rogues who had accumulated a lot of combat experience in the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty changed to the banner of the Qing Dynasty and fought for the tiger, while their opponents were a newly formed righteous army with all their blood and bravery, a small number of old comrades who did not know the current affairs, and the former rogue who "had his brain caught in the door and turned his gun to help Ming".

Playing more and playing less, winning the inferior with the best, which makes them often take advantage of it. However, the opponents they faced were no longer the ones they had seen, but they were a professional army nourished by the huge profits of sea trade. Moreover, the tactics used by this professional army are even more unheard of and unseen than they have ever seen!

The two armies fought, and the sharp soldiers of the Qing army routinely pounced on them, looking for an opportunity to break the formation. However, the Su Yangzhi department in the center crashed directly into the dense spear jungle of Fubiao, and even if it was pierced with a thousand holes; And the two wings, is not much better, although it is not as direct as Fubiao, but a three-person rattan player has been immersed in the game for many years, with tacit understanding, shoulder to shoulder to fight, the Qing army's sharp soldiers will often fall into the situation of two against three, or even with one enemy three.

As soon as the battle began, the Qing army was suppressed by the Ming army, which immediately attracted Xu Degong's attention. He is one of the few Qing troops who have fought with the Ming army in eastern Guangdong, but his understanding is limited to the fortress - the second Lufeng fortress defense battle, Xu Degong was stunned by the explosion before he was captured, what he saw in that battle was that the Ming army defended the fortress, and then shot into the soul, and the rest didn't know anything, and he hadn't even seen the follow-up pursuit, where had he seen such a tactic.

"Xu Shuai, you should understand why Chen Kai released you last time, right?"

When he was appointed, Shang Kexi said to Xu Degong, he only thought of the chaos in Fujian at first, and Chen Kai's release of his people was used to paralyze Fujian's civil and military forces and even the main faction of the Qing court. He was released, always carrying a heavy burden of guilt, even after returning to Guangzhou, he still continued to be the number one commander under the command of Jingnan Domain with the help of his old brothers and the support of Geng Jimao of Jingnan Domain, but he always thought that one day he would be able to be ashamed.

Shang Kexi uses him, but he doesn't have to work hard, otherwise Xu Erxian and Ban Zhifu of the Pingnan Domain, and Lian Decheng of the Jingnan Domain, none of these peers is inferior to him.

However, after engaging in the battle, he suddenly realized that there was another meaning in Shang Kexi's words, that is, since Chen Kai dared to put him back, he would no longer be afraid of his rich combat experience, and he had his own way to level or even reverse the gap between the two sides.

If you can catch him once, you won't be afraid to catch him a second time!

When he first arrived in Fuzhou and returned to Guangzhou, he pointed out that Rao had experienced too much in his life and didn't care anymore, but the Qing court system naturally inevitably discriminated against him, his family, and his children. If this continues, the future will only be dim, which he never wants to see. As for switching to the Ming army, he refused to surrender last time, and this time he will naturally not be the same. At this moment, naturally there is only a bloody battle to the end, which is the key to Shang Kexi's must use him.

After thinking about everything, Xu Degong let go of the burden in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "Order all Niu Lu to prepare and replenish the battle formation at any time." This time, if we can't hold out until the main force of the southern front breaks the old thief, we will only have a dead end! ”

Three thousand feudal soldiers are fifteen oxen. Xu Degong was determined to go all out, and at this time, on the southern front, the 55 Niulu feudal soldiers plus the 8,000 Eight Banners Army who went south from the capital to help had also fought with the Ming army.

Flesh and blood fly, and every moment a soldier falls, unable to stand up again. Compared with the green battalion on the northern front, the Qing army concentrated the most elite troops here, and Li Dingguo's troops were on the right with these Eight Banner Army and the feudal soldiers who were fighting to the death, even if they were suppressed by the opponent's fierce and fierce offensive, they could only do their best to maintain the defensive position of the large array.

Desperate fighting has become the only theme here, Li Dingguo maintained the fighting spirit of the Ming army with great prestige, but such a ferocious offensive still made him take a deep breath.

Such madness was something he had never seen even in the Battle of Xinhui in history - after all, at that time, the retreat of the Qing army was stable, and it was even connected with Xinhui County. But at this moment, the Qing army, which was completely forced to death, really fought hard, but it broke out with even more terrifying lethality.

"Transfer Rollo up!"

Luo Luo has always been the killer weapon used by the Southwest Ming Army to destroy the strong formation, and has always appeared on the battlefield where personal courage is most needed. At this time, Li Dingguo wanted to fill them all in, just to relieve the current huge pressure and hold on for more time.

When the order was given, the Yi warriors who wore felt and milled their feet and held double swords rushed into the large formation with a strange scream, rushed to the front of the formation through the casualties and gaps, and launched a counter-charge against the Qing army. Their martial bravery, it is undeniable, as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were caught off guard even if they hit those Eight Banner Army and feudal soldiers. However, at this time, the Qing army had already launched a temperament, how could it be so easy to destroy, just the offensive was slightly blocked, and they pounced again, holding shields and waist knives, and they were no less than these brave and ruthless Yi warriors.

The bloody battle continued, and the Eight Banners Army and the feudal army attacked fiercely, but fortunately, as in history, the left flank fell and the battle formation wavered did not happen. Li Dingguo dispatched the reserve to storm the hill on the left flank regardless of casualties, and one of the two divisions of Gao Wengui and Zhang Sheng launched an attack, and the other reined in the rout and took turns to go into battle, which undoubtedly put great pressure on the elite of the feudal army on the hill on the left flank.

If the left flank is taken, they will naturally not give up, for this reason, Shang Zhizhi can only hold on to this place, where is there still the strength to rush down the mountain to attack the flank of the Ming army.

The battle line is stalemate, the same is true of the northern front, the same is true of the southern front, and even the left flank of the southern front is not much different. It was just in the exhaustion of this hissing that several artillery pieces were pushed to the bottom of the hill on the left flank on the side of the Qing army, and dozens of auxiliaries were either pushing or pulling slowly towards the top of the hill, the commanding heights that could overlook the battlefield.
