Zhao Qing's army fled, Gao Wei's army chased, this chase and escape is a few quarters of an hour passed, just when Zhao Qing's personal guards were about to arrive at Mei Yousong's army with a message, on the frontal battlefield, Mei Yousong's army and Wang Shengrong's army finally started fighting.

The two armies fought, and the artillery fire attacked first, and hundreds of solid shells staggered through the sky, smashed into the arrays of the two armies, and pierced through the bodies of unknown soldiers.

The artillery bombardment, which caused hundreds of casualties and wounded, could not stop the two armies from continuing to approach, and when the distance between the two armies was less than 50 zhang, the musketeers behind the Ming army's chariot rushed out and sprayed lead bullets into the KPA array with firearms in hand.

The distance of fifty zhang was too far, and with the power of the Ming army's firearms, it was impossible to penetrate even the shields in the hands of the soldiers of the first troops, and at most they accidentally hit the feet or calves of a small number of soldiers of the first troops.

In the face of the fire of the Ming army's gunners, the KPA soldiers quickened the pace of the charge and rushed towards the Ming army in great strides.

When the distance between the two armies was less than 20 zhang, the Ming army fired a second wave of lead bullets, this time finally to the People's Army to a lot of casualties, hundreds of soldiers of the first troops fell on the battlefield, and the soldiers behind quickly rushed towards the Ming army.

The Ming soldiers had no time to fire a third shot, they quickly retreated, and the Ming soldiers armed with spears, broadswords, bows and arrows strode forward, and hundreds of arrows slashed through the air and fell into the KPA array.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields in the hands of the soldiers of the first unit, but there were also a small number of arrows that were not blocked, which was not a small death or injury for the KPA.

Arrows rained down, the arrows of the Ming army had brought thousands of casualties to the People's Army, and finally, the distance between the two armies was shortened to within three zhang, and the grenadiers in the People's Army lit the grenades in their hands one after another and threw them at the Ming army array.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

In a series of explosions of thousands of grenades, the Ming army array suddenly "emptied" a long area, and all the Ming soldiers in this area fell to the ground, either seriously injured and dying, or lying on the ground and wailing.

The Ming soldiers in the back stepped forward under the drive of the officers to fill the vacant position.

The soldiers of the first army finally met with the Ming soldiers, waving their big swords and spears at each other, and more than a dozen or even dozens of people fell every second, and behind the soldiers of the first army, the grenadiers kept throwing grenades into the Ming army array.

In the middle of the Ming army, Mei Yousong has been paying attention to the situation of the front army, and seeing the heavy casualties of the front army, Mei Yousong was not angry, because there were only a few elite troops in the front army, basically half of them were new recruits, half of them were ordinary Ming troops, and the border army as the main force and the newly formed "grenadier" troops were in a slightly backward position.

There is no doubt that the front army of the Ming army is cannon fodder, it is the cannon fodder that Mei Yousong used to consume the grenades of the People's Army, Mei Yousong did not have the idea of putting the main force in the front army, the strength of the People's Army is not weak, especially the grenade, and the border army can't bear it.

After deliberation, Mei Yousong chose to use cannon fodder to consume the grenades of the People's Army, perhaps this will kill and injure many people, but as long as this battle is won, it doesn't matter how many people are killed or injured, what Mei Yousong wants is victory, if he is defeated by the People's Army, that is the most terrible thing.

The battle continued, the casualties of the Ming army were increasing wildly, and Mei Yousong felt that if it lasted for a while, he could let the main force play.

At this time, the news of Zhao Qingjun's defeat was sent to Mei Yousong, and when he heard the news of Zhao Qingjun's defeat, Mei Yousong was furious.

"What? Zhao Qing was defeated? I gave Zhao Qing more than 35,000 soldiers and horses, why was he defeated by more than 20,000 thieves? Hearing the news, Mei Yousong couldn't believe it, he couldn't imagine that Zhao Qingjun, who had far outnumbered the thieves, was defeated like this.

Zhao Qing's personal guards came to Mei Yousong, and he described the scene where Zhao Qingjun was defeated by the People's Army musketeers, and Mei Yousong, Song Yingchang and others immediately understood that Zhao Qingjun was defeated by the People's Army's musketeers, and they were slightly relieved in their hearts.

They all know that the musketeers are the main force of the People's Army, and the last time Song Yingchang's army fought with Wang Shengrong's army, they had a record of defeating 30,000 Ming troops, since the enemy's musketeers were in that partial army, it meant that the enemy in front of them had no musketeers, which was good news for Mei Yousong's army, and the victory over the people's army that was fighting was more certain!

As long as the People's Army that is fighting with more than 100,000 horses is defeated, and then the People's Army that pursues Zhao Qingjun is defeated, the victory in this battle will belong to the Ming Army!

Because the news of Zhao Qingjun's defeat came and delayed for a while, the time had come for the border army and grenadier troops to appear, Mei Yousong immediately ordered the border army and the grenadier troops to move forward and replace the front army that was almost defeated, Mei Yousong guessed that the grenades of the People's Army had been almost consumed at this time.

Soon a Ming army that looked different quickly marched to the front of the battlefield, this Ming army was the strongest combat effectiveness of the border army in the Mei Yousong army, behind the border army, was the only grenadier unit in the Ming army, the number was only about 5,000 people, and all the earth-shaking thunder in the Ming army was brought by the grenadier unit of about 5,000 people.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

More than 20,000 elite border troops flocked to the front of the battlefield, but before they came into contact with the People's Army, hundreds of grenades smashed into the border army array in the sky, causing thousands of casualties to the border army.

Even the most elite border soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the grenade bombardment, and some border soldiers turned around and fled in fright, but they did not run a few steps before they were beheaded by the officers for desertion.

"Hurry up, hurry up, there aren't many earth-shattering thunders for thieves."

The officers shouted and cheered on the soldiers, and under the shouts of the officers, the soldiers mustered up the courage to continue to move forward, but they were still greeted by a steady stream of grenades from the People's Army.

A group of grenadiers of the People's Army threw all the grenades they carried and retreated to the back, and another group of grenadiers stepped forward to ignite the grenades and threw them at the Ming array, and Wang Shengrong's grenadier unit had as many as two divisions, and even if there were two brigades in Gao Weijun's place, Wang Shengrong's army still had four brigade grenadier units, and until now, the four brigade grenadier units have consumed less than half of the grenades.

Braving the grenade bombardment of the KPA, the elite border troops continued to rush forward, and the sergeants and soldiers of the border finally fought together with the advance troops of the KPA, but more of the border soldiers fell on the battlefield.

Knowing that the multilateral army was killed by a grenade from the People's Army, Mei Yousong was extremely distressed.

"Damn thieves, how many earth-shattering thunders do they have?"
