The arrows fell like a torrential rain, and did not sweep through the Ming army's battle formation as the Qing army expected, only the sound of popping cloth cracking could be heard, and most of the arrows were stopped by the layer of cloth barriers. And the Ming army under the barrier, with the rattan card covered, the casualties were very few, almost negligible.

The Qing army was still advancing, and the arrows thrown were constantly splashing during the march, and the Ming army blocked the Qing army's rounds of shooting with the rattan card. When the Qing army reached a distance of twenty or thirty paces in front of it, the javelins and flying axes of the Qing army swept the rattan cards in the first row of the Ming army, and then rushed up with a shout.

The sword and shield are no better than the spear, and they can still attack with a straight stab, unless they completely abandon the dexterous way of attacking, and turn into a dense position with the shield one after another, flashing and moving, waving the knife and dancing cards, the most important thing is a certain space to give full play to the power of the sword and shield soldiers.

The sword and shield soldiers are the most martial arts, and the momentum of the attack can be pressed against the other party to fight, and the chances of winning will be more. Most of the Qing soldiers were veterans, as they were concocted, as in weekdays, while the Qing saber and shield soldiers were throwing, they took off their shields, pulled out their waist knives and shouted. However, before arriving at the close formation, the Ming army only slightly adjusted its position, and when it landed, it became a small formation of three people standing densely, and the Qing army that was rushing up was waiting for it.

It is not a shield array, just a group of three, most of the Qing troops have never seen such a way of fighting, but they still wield a sword and shield and slash it.

In one of the most ordinary corners of the battlefield, on the left flank of the Left Pioneer Town, a bearded veteran of the Qing army, wielding his sword and shield like the other leading Qing army sabers and shield soldiers, with full momentum, tentatively launched an attack on the rather young looking Ming army rattan player he was facing him.

Approaching with a shield, the blade swooped in with a ferocious attack. The young rattan player had no intention of fighting back, but only held the rattan card and struggled to block the Qing army's slash.

The force of the rattan card was not as heavy as expected, and the Qing army veteran only made a gesture, when it led to the counterattack of the other two Ming troops in a group with the Ming army. The two waist knives slashed the chest and the legs, and the veteran struggled to repel before he gave way to the blade.

The screams sounded in his ears, and the old man didn't need to look at it to know that it was from the two Qing veterans who were eating in a pot on his left and right. They are far less fortunate than him. But more importantly, as soon as he noticed the position of these three people close to each other, he realized that the three Ming troops must be a group and fight together. It's just that the only thing he guessed wrong was that these three people were not like this because of their good relationship on weekdays, and the small formation of these threesomes was the new tactics of the Fujian Ming Army, and the tacit understanding of the cooperation made him unable to escape the fate of his death on the spot even if he was tempted by a false shot.

Holding a rattan card and wearing a rattan helmet on his head, the three red-armored Ming soldiers stared at him alone, only making his hairs stand on end.

The offensive at the beginning of the engagement was immediately cut off by the Ming army, and the counterattack was launched while screaming. Through the advance of the formation, even if the three Ming troops were forced up, the three of them defended and attacked twice, and the two people who attacked were not necessarily the young Ming army just now, but the three of them continued to change their functions and cooperate tacitly, obviously after a period of training.

In a moment, the veteran of the Qing army had been forced into danger, and then he was forced into the current situation of the Qing army that was rushing forward behind him, not only disrupting the offensive rhythm of the following Qing troops, but also putting himself into a situation where there was no way to retreat.

"Kill!"

Behind him was almost like an abyss, and the Qing army veteran did not retreat but advanced, and rushed forward with a shout. This knife poured all his martial arts and strength, the knife was fierce, overwhelming Qianjun, the shield in his left hand, protecting the vital point, the legs were forced, and the whole person rushed forward, directly taking the young Ming army who seemed to be the most rusty in martial arts.

At the first moment, he realized that the target of the Qing army was the young Ming army, and the young Ming army retreated to the defensive. But at this moment, the old soldier of the Qing army shook his knife and slashed at the Ming army on his right side who was about to turn defense into attack.

The knife slashed heavily on the rattan card, so heavy that it almost made the Ming army lose its balance. But at this moment, the knife of the attacked Ming army had already cut on the left leg of the old soldier of the Qing army. At the same time, because the Ming army turned to attack the side when he was near, his back also showed up, and a Ming army's lancet was inserted straight into his waist, and the tip of the knife broke his abdominal cavity from back to front.

The lancet twisted, and blood mixed with broken organs gushed out of its mouth. The old pawn followed Wang Zhigang from the north to the south, and he had been in battle for a long time, and if he hadn't been greedy for cups, he would have already become a grassroots officer. However, in the face of such a tactic of the Ming army, even if he became a grassroots officer, it was useless, and at the same time as he fell to the ground, not far away, his top boss was hacked to death by a Ming army in front of the battle, and he did not live a few seconds longer than him.

"It's that way again."

On the battlefield, it has entered a one-sided situation since the beginning of the engagement. The small formation of the Ming army changed, three people defended and attacked twice, with tacit understanding, each time there was only one Qing army, and they were never greedy, which made almost every attack of them a must-kill situation.

Wang Zhigang and Chen Shangzhi have already looked stupid, only Wang Jin, who had fought with such a Ming army in the battle of the magnetic stove four months ago, and had the experience of being defeated like a wither, but Wang Zhigang and Chen Shangzhi couldn't believe the reason for his defeat, and insisted on going his own way, so he had to think about other ways to break through early.

"Tell General Wang and Vice General Chen that it is not a way to go on like this, let the cavalry go around the flanks and harass for a while, and reorganize the formation."

Regrouping is not the goal, the aim is to recover the decline. The infantry is powerless to fight in formation, and it is only said that this most effective tactic is also the sword and shield soldiers who have always relied on to destroy the strong and broken formation, and the new tactics of the Ming army are only left to be passively beaten, so they have to try to change their tactics. Whether it would be a spearman formation against a shield formation or a cavalry assault is still up for debate, but at least it can't go on like this.

There was no need to even inform that Wang Jin's cavalry came out from behind the formation, and then the cavalry under Wang Zhigang and Chen Shangzhi also moved. The flanks of the Ming army were threatened, and the formation was broken, and the closer to the flank area, the more the officers of the Ming army deliberately slowed down the pace of the attack, but those who were far from being threatened, the Ming army's offensive was still fierce, and it had the momentum of killing through the Qing army's battle formation.

Fortunately, even so, the decline of the Qing army was still alleviated to a certain extent. It's a pity that Panasonic's breath was only in that moment. After a while, news came from the flank, saying that it was just behind their flank, almost in the direction they had come, and that a Ming army was killing here.

"It's over, the tide is over!"

Although it is the Zhangzhou Plain here, it has never been a flat river like Jiangnan or the North, the hilly terrain is the main body, and the flatness is just relative to other places. Compared with his predecessor Wang Bangjun, although Wang Jin is called a tiger, he is far from being arrogant. At this moment, once the situation was not good, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Wang Zhigang and Chen Shangzhi, and at the same time withdrew the cavalry, and then took the flag down and took the road.

Wang Jin knew that he was invincible, and the commanders of the Qing army couldn't care about these pawns, and those pawns collapsed after only a moment.

If the infantry does not fight, and the battle formation collapses, the sky and the earth will fall apart, and it will be difficult to recover. The Ming army was in hot pursuit, and the infantry of the Qing army could only run wildly to survive under the blade of the Ming army. And those cavalrymen escaped the fastest, but when they tried to escape, they were still intercepted and killed by the Ming army's interception forces.

Behind is the chasing soldiers of the Ming army and those who were driven and slaughtered by the Qing army foot soldiers, in front of the Ming army's interception troops, it is not impossible to turn around and detour, but the waste of time, especially no one can guarantee that other roads are not intercepted by the Ming army. Wang Jin and the others had no choice but to rush over.

The blindfolded horses smashed through the Ming army's jungle of spears, finally squeezing out some space for them to escape. However, more Qing cavalry was intercepted here. And these Qing troops, just like those Qing infantry, were immediately attacked by the Ming army's rattan formation, which was defended by one person, killed horses by one person, and killed people by one person, and even fell into the mouth of this crazy devouring giant beast.

Wang Jin, Wang Zhigang, Chen Shangzhi and others fled in defeat, broke through the interception of the Ming army, and soon disappeared without a trace. However, more Qing troops were far less fortunate than them, and those who were able to break through the interception, or those who were not intercepted by the Ming army, could not be said to be unlucky, but they were still pursued by the Ming army, and it was not until they passed the Longjing place that they reluctantly escaped from the dead place when the Ming army gave up continuing the pursuit.

When the pursuing forward troops Longjing, Zheng Chenggong began to collect troops and gather people, countless horses, ordnance, military rations, and prisoners, and the corpses of the Qing army were all over the field, and it was a fiasco that had not been seen in southern Fujian for several years.

After reining in the troops, the army approached the city of Zhangzhou, the city gate was closed, and hundreds of Qing troops were still blocked outside the city gate and could not enter. Wang Jin and the others failed to escape back, or they didn't believe that Zhangzhou City could survive such a fiasco, so they simply fled elsewhere. However, the defenders and officials in the city hurriedly closed the city gate, and then refused sternly under the persuasion of Zheng Chenggong. But those Qing troops who failed to enter the city chose to accept Zheng Chenggong's surrender.

The Qing army's military presence in southern Fujian was drastically reduced during this battle. God knows, whether this will be a precursor for the Ming army to sweep southern Fujian and even recover Fujian!

Note: The battle quilt is a relatively distinctive field defense equipment of the Ming army under Zheng Chenggong. "Ming Ji Nanluo" has a record of this, but the content is more martial arts, one person uses, the arrow comes to Zhang, the arrow is rolled, and at the same time the knife is held in both hands, and the roll is rolled over at the same time to slash and kill the Qing army, and I don't know how many pairs of hands the Ming army can do so many things at the same time, obviously the roll and the war are the same thing.

The author Ji Liuqi is not a private history book built behind closed doors, and has also visited and inspected everywhere, but he is still not a first-hand witness of the tactics of the Fujian Ming army.

However, those who witnessed it, such as Yang Ying and others, did not have too detailed descriptions of this kind of equipment, and there was a lack of unearthed cultural relics, so the author could only copy the anti-arrow curtains in the ancient city defense battles to describe. At the very least, the usefulness and effectiveness of these two things are the same.
