Chapter Eighty-Three: Breakthrough

The Ming army of the battalion A directly under Fubiao in Guangdong received the order and quickly merged into the battle array. At this moment, the bloody battle is still continuing, and the Qing army has gradually found rhythm and tacit understanding, and the casualties have begun to decline, making it even more difficult for the Ming army to achieve a rapid breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of Team A, who had dispersed into small teams, had rushed to the forefront of the battlefield. The ears were full of shouts of killing, anger and fear, and they abounded. In front of him, the sword and shield soldiers of the Ming army worked together in groups of three to fight against the Qing army. Swords, slashes and stabs, all the time in the killing machine, it is clear that it seems that the next moment will be they rushing up to start a bloody battle with the Qing army.

Arrive at the forefront of the melee formation and wait for the battalion flag next to the handsome flag. Next, the Ming army of Team A who received the order blew the fire fold that had been prepared in hand, and put it at the front end of the lead that stretched out from the national surname bottle, followed by a loud shout, which was just a pottery bottle made of national surname over the heads of the Ming army soldiers, and even over the heads of the Qing army's front row soldiers who fought fiercely with the Ming army, swirling in the sky, and fell directly into the Qing army's grand array.

The lead drilled into the bottle, and the moment it touched the black powder particles, the gunpowder ignited, and ignited all the gunpowder in the entire bottle at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The gas released by the combustion burst the bottle in an instant, and the intense flames, spray-like smoke and deafening explosions flooded the area around the bottle for several meters in an instant.

The explosion, sudden, undoubtedly gave a different element to the main battlefield, which had already fallen into the same mode of attrition. However, such a freshness was something that the Qing army never wanted to feel. In just an instant, the air wave knocked down the crowd, the flames ignited the uniforms and skin, and the explosion was pervasive, enough to puncture the eardrums and infuse the sound waves into the brains of the Qing army.

The moment the explosion sounded, the energy radiated, and many of the Qing troops around them were blown to the ground. Some fell heavily to the ground, motionless; Some of them fell to the ground at the same time, covering their ears and their mouths were growing, as if they couldn't release the sound waves that had penetrated into their bodies. The flames of the explosion ignited clothing and skin, and the flames of awe-inspiring creatures clung to each other like maggots on tarsal bones. And along with the gunpowder, those broken porcelain pieces splashed like lead bullets, piercing armor, skin, and even directly inserted into the muscles.

The grenadiers attacked, and in the battle array of Jingbiaohou Town, which was facing Fubiao in Guangdong, explosions sounded one after another, and the Qing army within the explosion range was the first to take the initiative, and even the Qing army that was fighting fiercely with the Ming army was also affected.

When I was old last year, the Ming army, which had already seen the power of these national surnames, was not affected, but was only stunned for a moment, and many of the Qing troops who engaged in the battle were killed by the Ming army on the spot. This is just the beginning, like a butterfly fanning the breeze, the Qing army that had just found some tacit understanding was immediately broken by the Ming army, coupled with the explosion behind him, the chaos was driven by the crazy offensive of the Ming army.

In the face of the chaos of the Qing army, the spearmen who were as dense as a forest in Fubiao in Guangdong no longer needed any orders, and strode forward, holding spears to assassinate every Qing army along the way, which was either wandering or isolated, and the long-stalemate front was immediately broken through by the Ming army.

With the help of the grenadier attack, the battle array of Fubiao in Guangdong took the lead in achieving a breakthrough, and the Ming army that attacked the Qing army's battle array was inserted like an arrow, and like the fangs of a wild wolf, it continued to tear open larger breaches when piercing the flesh and blood of the Qing army, so that the blood of the Qing army gushed out faster.

The original stalemate was broken by the Ming army, and Hu Maozhen, the governor of Jingbiaohou Town, watched this scene, and the memory of the rout in his mind came up directly. He is the general of Xingping Bo Gaojie in the four towns of Jiangbei, and he must be the vanguard of Gao Jie's department in every battle, and is known for his martial arts and good fighting. He has always attacked the enemy, even if he can't beat it, he always shows the bravest, this time I saw that the Ming army overturned the battle situation in only an instant, Hu Maozhen didn't have the mind to abandon the army and abscond, as in the past, he directly pressed up with the pro-soldier team.

After the mark, the Hu character on the banner of the town commander accompanied Hu Maozhen's advance and gradually expanded in the sight of the Ming army, seeing that Hu Maozhen was as brave as in the past, and the Qing army, which had already had a slight rout, was also vigorous and rushed forward with a shout. There was a sudden change in front of him again, the "Panyu hero" in Guangzhou City, who had been eating underworld rice with his uncle and brother since he was a teenager, until he bravely entered the Guangzhou Yiyong Feng San, the deputy general of the Fubiao Left Association, stretched out his tongue and licked his bright red lower lip vigorously, and there was no fear in his expression, but he was even more excited.

"Kill Hu Maozhen!"

The saber in his hand was raised diagonally, as if blessed by the shout. The Ming army of the Left Association received the order and pressed forward with a more courageous attitude. The spear pierced directly, without any fancy martial arts, only this year-on-year, month-to-month straight piercing, fierce and precise.

At the moment when the grenadiers threw in the national surname bottle, Fubiao already saw the hope of victory. Once the rapid attack was launched, the follow-up troops of the Qing army could no longer be able to parry. Even Hu Maozhen's presence in the front only slightly stopped the advance of the Ming army.

The other fronts were still in a stalemate, and the moment of the explosion, the scales of victory had begun to tilt in the direction of the Ming army. The goddess of victory began to pull the corners of her skirt, which was not popular in China in this era, but when Chen Kai saw this scene, he already had a sense of picture in his mind, and it was fleeting.

"Let Fubiao continue to press up, and crush the post-standard and me!"

The battle has lasted for a long time, the Ming army's Guangdong Fubiao, guarding the left town and the Qing army's Jingbiao right town, Jingbiaohou town two divisions took the lead in the battle, and then the main cavalry of both sides dispatched, in another battlefield broke out in a melee, in order to be able to overwhelm the other side there, liberate their own cavalry, and then threaten the opponent's flank, both sides put all the cavalry into that battlefield. At this moment, under normal circumstances, the hole cards of both sides have been used up, but the problem is that Chen Kai has always held a grenadier in his hand, and he does not dare to take it out easily.

Fubiao has entered the rhythm of advancing, stabbing, advancing again, and stabbing, as long as there is no accident, the Qing army has no way to slow down.

Hu Maozhen had already gone to the battle array to boost his morale, and Wang Fuchen, who had no command, was still leading those Qing cavalry to try to defeat his current enemy. As a veteran general who has accumulated years, Daniel Zhang naturally noticed the changes in the town after the standard at the first time, and at this moment, he knew very well what kind of situation they needed to face next.

He was transferred from the post of chief soldier in Gansu to the southwest economic standard, and was promoted from a guerrilla general to the chief military officer by suppressing the anti-Qing uprising in Gansu and Shaanxi. Years of military experience made him quite confident in the green battalion soldiers from Ganshan in his hands.

In this battle, he didn't know that the new tactics of the Ming army had an advantage over other green battalion soldiers, but from the beginning of the strategy, he already knew that the current situation would be a situation where the crowd was outnumbered, and at the same time, it was a situation of waiting for work. If nothing else, as long as it is consumed, with the advantage of the Ganshan Green Battalion's tolerance and strength for casualties, the total energy consumption will be the moment of the collapse of the Ming army. Moreover, there is also Wang Fuchen's horse harrier, whose martial arts are highly respected even by the Eight Banners Army, and he should always be able to open up the situation in cavalry warfare. But the problem is that the situation has not been opened for a long time, and the Ming army has no intention of spending it with them.

"This thing, it's real!"

Last year, the Ming army in Guangdong was devastated, and in one fell swoop broke the reinforcements of Shang Geng's second domain and the Eight Banners Army, which had been entrenched here for many years, and the three wars of Xinhui, Foshan, and Guangzhou actually did not have much technical content, and Hong Chengchou and the entire southwest economic standard collected a lot of intelligence in this year, and the situation at that time was generally clear. Only the all-important battle of Jiangmen, they only knew that the Qing army went south to fight against Li Dingguo, and finally Japan had a chance of winning, but Chen Kai's army suddenly appeared in the north, and also cut off their pontoon bridge on the Xijiang River, and then broke through the Qing army troops who were blocked by the north in a battle, and Xu Degong, who had been captured by Chen Kai earlier, was directly killed on the spot.

Surprised by Chen Kai's plan, that subtle mind made the Changsha shogunate and even the Manchu court shudder. As for Chen Kai's ability to quickly break through the blocking troops of the Qing army, because it was too chaotic at the time, the Qing troops who escaped by luck were basically not witnesses who faced the grenadiers, and a different opinion was enough to make the Changsha shogunate big.

The Qing army on the northern front suddenly suffered an explosion on the eve of the collapse, and Daniel Zhang had never heard of similar statements, but unfortunately since then, the small grenadiers of the Ming army have never shown their heads, so that they have not understood how all this happened, and they are not even clear about the scale of the explosion at that time. However, by now, Daniel Zhang had figured out what was going on, but it was too late, because the collapse of the army could break out at any time, and unless there was a sudden outbreak in this short time that was enough to change the situation of the battle and absolutely beneficial to the Qing army, there was no way to achieve a reversal.

Daniel Zhang didn't believe that he could have such good luck, and he didn't plan to pin his hopes on those illusory ones. When it comes to these parts, what to do and how to do it, he knows best. So, he immediately sent the guerrilla general from the middle battalion of Jingbiao Right Town.

"Xianwu, take your headquarters and horses, press me from the flanks!"

"Don't worry, the last general will never live up to the expectations of the marshal!"

As soon as he gave his hand, the Qing army general who showed his name was on his horse and rushed back to his main formation. The middle battalion of his Jingbiao Right Town was originally reserved by Daniel Zhang as a reserve, and when the left and right battalions engaged in the battle with the Ming army dragged the Ming army to exhaustion, they threw this new force into it, thus achieving a breakthrough. However, now that he could not wait for that time, Daniel Zhang did not hesitate to send the middle battalion, and the Qing guerrilla named Wang Jinbao also directly took the middle battalion to bypass the left battalion and directly attacked the flank guarding Zuozhen.

Such a flank was already on the verge of a sub-battlefield of cavalry melee, and Wang Jinbao's troops marched around in a hurry, and they were bound to be harassed by the Ming army. However, Wang Jinbao had already taken care of the others, completely ignoring the casualties, and directly pressed over. Subsequently, without even reorganizing the battle formation, he collided directly with the flank troops guarding Zuozhen.

Compared with the establishment of 3,000 soldiers in Jingbiao Right Town, there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in one town of the Ming Army. Xiao Gongchen is a general, but the battle has lasted so long, and the guards Zuozhen have done their best, at this time, the Qing army suddenly released a new force, he noticed it from afar, and immediately made up the only remaining reserves in his hand and the remnants that were replaced, without hesitation at all.

In the face of the flank attack of the superior Qing army, the guard Zuozhen needs to do his best to resist the opponent's attack, and more importantly, the left wing of the Ming army has begun to achieve a breakthrough in Fubiao, Guangdong, and the collapse of the Qing army is only a matter of time, and what he and his guard Zuozhen need to do is to drag it as much as possible until the Qing army completely collapses, and buy time for the victory of the army.

On the west side of the main battlefield, you come and go, and the battle becomes more and more intense. On the other side, Hu Maozhen also put the middle battalion of the headquarters into it, but unlike Daniel Zhang, he did not choose to flank it, but directly invested it in the main battlefield, because in his place, without this new force to replace the rout, even if he personally went up to fight the Ming army, he would not be able to hold out now.

Hu Maozhen had done his best, the middle battalion replaced the rout, and the organized troops did resist the offensive momentum of the Ming army a little. This is a very good thing, but it is a pity that before his happiness was formed in his consciousness, another series of explosions sounded in the middle camp that had just been replaced, and Hu Maozhen was immediately stunned on the spot.

"Dashuai, it's impossible to do anything!"

The explosion caused riots again, and the collapse of Jingbiaohou Town was irreversible, and when Hu Maozhen's personal soldiers urged their commanders to abandon the army and abscond, Jingbiaoyou Town, Daniel Zhang did not hesitate to draw troops to prepare for retreat. However, in the middle camp that had just been put into the battlefield not long ago, Wang Jinbao looked at the defeat in the distance, and gritted his steel teeth, but he still pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed directly at Xiao Gongchen's handsome banner.

"Sons and daughters of the middle camp, follow my king into the treasure and kill the thieves!"
