The battle began with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, and gradually entered the climax.

"Fire !!"

The field artillery team of the accompanying army, which had suppressed the firepower until now, finally revealed their hideous cannon muzzles after receiving the commander's instructions, and the thick smoke of gunpowder was accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, and one after another bowl-sized shells whistled and smashed towards the path of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry.

The cannonballs flew in mid-air, and exploded before they even hit the ground, and then one after another the cannonballs were like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, and dense fragments covered a radius of two or three feet.

Within the scope of being shrouded, it is not just a person who can be described as turning on his horse, the more large-scale cavalry charge, the more tacit cooperation and flat terrain are needed, and the cavalry team suddenly fell into chaos after being suddenly hit, and those who fell to the ground and were unfortunately shot, and suddenly the formation of 10,000 Qing cavalry appeared in inevitable chaos.

However, after all, it was the most elite cavalry army of the Qing Dynasty, and the chaos only lasted for a cup of tea, and then it was reintegrated by their skillful technology, and once again increased its speed, killing the Hongtang army in the valley defense line.

The battlefield opportunity is changing rapidly, and the delay of this tea is an extremely important opportunity for the Hongtang army, with this tea and other efforts, the Hongtang infantry soldiers who had been recuperating before finally tore through the solid defense line built by the 30,000 Han army with the assistance of the musketeers on the hillside.

"Array !!"

didn't have time to catch a few breaths, the Hongtang soldiers who had just broken through the resistance of the Han army, in the shouts of a low-level non-commissioned officer, gathered into flowers and bones, and then connected the city, colliding with the old Qing cavalry who had just pulled out the speed.

The hundreds of Hongtang soldiers in the first row, almost all of them were wiped out, and they were smashed into a pile of mud by the powerful kinetic energy carried by the Qing cavalry, but it was the sacrifice of the first batch of soldiers that gave the Hongtang soldiers in the rear a chance to counterattack, and the speed was pulled down and waited for the Qing Dynasty to return.

The Hongtang artillery on the hillside released the flowering bullets accumulated in their hands as if they were dying, buying time for the Hongtang Chinese army, so that they could fight their way out of the siege of the Qing cavalry and the Han soldiers. The 4,000 musketeers also continued to load, shoot, and reload their muskets, mechanically carrying out the familiar firing steps.

For the Hongtang soldiers on both sides of the valley, the Qing people did not want to take them first, but first, this cavalry was not suitable for mountaineering and impact, and secondly, the Hongtang army was not unprepared when it arrived for a period of time, and the basic horse rejection piles, mines and other simple fortifications could still be built temporarily, plus the combat effectiveness of the musketeers themselves and the Hongtang Chinese army lined up in front of the valley, all forced the Qing army to turn the main target of attack to the Hongtang army in front of the valley.

"Retreat and don't kill!! Retreat and don't kill!! ”

"The head of the thief chief is here, and he still doesn't surrender !!"

The Hongtang army broke through the Han army formation, but it did not mean that they could defeat the entire 30,000 Han army in a short period of time.

Prince Li Daishan and other high-level generals of the Qing Dynasty despised the Han army, so that when they sent out cavalry to charge, they never thought of letting them give up a road. In Dai Shan's thoughts, instead of risking the collapse of the Han army and ordering the Han army to give way to a charge, it was better to sacrifice a small part of the Han army soldiers so that his own cavalry could exert the maximum impact and lethality.

"What a brave army!"

Prince Li Daishan, who was watching from afar, even in the face of this stubborn opponent, still had no lack of admiration, and sighed.

The mistake of his own strategy stemmed from the fact that the Han army was broken through by the opponent's army early, and rearranged the defensive line in the front to block the charge of his own cavalry.

"Pass on the king's order, Su Na is also such a bastard, you can't rush to the battlefield with my Jurchen athlete anymore, don't blame Lao Tzu for cutting off his head!"

Admiration is admiration, but Dai Shan will not show mercy at all, ruthless and other eyes reveal murderous intentions, and fiercely express dissatisfaction with the Jurchen infantry who were bombarded and attacked by Hongtang's artillery and musketeers on the way.

The Han soldiers who rushed to the front began to be unable to resist the attacks of the Hongtang soldiers wave after wave, and gradually appeared a little declining, when the Han generals who rushed to the front line with their henchmen and guards in order to save their lives died or were seriously injured, the sharpness of the Han soldiers was gradually lost.

On the other hand, the Hongtang soldiers, as the backbone of the low-level non-commissioned officers of Hongtang, although they also suffered heavy losses, the perfect military rank system and wartime command system of the Hongtang army allowed them to lose the command of the non-commissioned officers directly under them, but when the three-five, or more than a dozen soldiers converged together, they only needed to observe a few five-star flowers on the shoulders of the soldiers, and they could easily distinguish their subordinates, and then continue to advance forward under the leadership of the temporary non-commissioned officers.

At the same time, the mouths of the Hongtang soldiers were not idle, brandishing sharp long knives, and on the other hand, they carried the heads of their faces that had long been unable to see clearly, and started psychological warfare against the stubborn Han soldiers.

"Han people don't fight Han people, as long as you are willing to set things right, we are still a family!!"

"Brothers, the leaders of the traitors have been beheaded, are you still willing to follow the Jurchen barbarians? If you want to escape, let's help us defeat the Jurchen barbarians who oppress you behind!! ”

"The Jurchen barbarians don't treat you as human beings, why do you still work for them?"

The first Han soldier finally couldn't bear the pressure of death, and began to turn around and retreat, but before he could run a few steps, he was slashed to the ground by the Jurchen Governor's team, becoming one of the cold corpses on the fierce battlefield.

With the first deserter, there will naturally be a second deserter, but when the soldiers who were originally deserters in order to survive were killed by the cruel Jurchen Governor and turned into corpses before they ran out of the battlefield, the anger that had long been suppressed in the hearts of the Han soldiers who were in a dilemma gradually began to burn.

It's just that whether this anger can finally burn up, but it still needs a scoop of hot oil to offset their fear of the Jurchens.
