In the tidal flats, the Hongtang army was resolutely supported, and every moment there were soldiers who fell and did not move, while more soldiers were squeezing every bit of energy in their bodies, or blocking the opponent's weapons, or swinging their weapons to slash at the opponent.

"Boom! Bang! ”

The shells that fell from the sky smashed only a mile or two away from the riverbank, and even shook the muddy mud of the muddy tidal flats, causing them to tremble for a while.

"Reinforcements are coming, brothers hold on to me!"

Yu Yi's body was mixed with black mud and blood, and he looked embarrassed, and in the vaguely exposed eyes and cheeks, he was full of sadness and anger, as well as more calm looks.

The regiment commander Jiang Zhengguo was unfortunately hit by a cold arrow shot from nowhere in the previous battle, and although he was finally rescued from the front line by his companions and guards, he also delayed the treatment time because of the environment at this time, and now Yu Yi himself does not know the life and death of his partner.

This was the third time they had repelled the Ming army since they retreated to the tidal flats, and finally ushered in the support of their colleagues from the Hongtang Naval Division fleet on the other side of the river.

On the surface of the river, like a giant beast of sailor warships and big boats, they are docked more than ten zhang away from the river in an orderly manner, and countless Hongtang soldiers jump off the boats, and steadily stop in the fishing boats and small boats under the big boats, and then glide on the river surface, approaching the south bank of the Yellow River.

The shells of the naval fleet whizzed over the Hongtang landing team, and below the flying shells, the fighting of the Hongtang soldiers did not become tense and panicked at all, even if the artillery fire fell less than a mile or two away from their own location.

Infantry artillery coordinated operations have long been the focus of the Hongtang army's peacetime training, and for this reason, the Hongtang army consumes countless amounts of ammunition every year, but it is also worth it.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the opposite side were also stunned by the sudden Hongtang artillery fire, the shipborne artillery of the Hongtang Naval Division was far more powerful than the Ming army imagined, in this quagmire, there was no longer standing within a radius of one or two zhang when it was smashed down, and the iron bullets that weighed at least twenty or thirty catties, forty or fifty catties themselves, and even hit out a ravine several feet deep in the mud.

"Withdraw! Remove! ”

This time the rush and slaughter ended without a hitch, even if the actual loss of the Ming soldiers was not to the point of collapse, but the huge power caused by the Hongtang artillery fire brought a great shock to the Ming soldiers.

After being repulsed this time, the Ming army waited until more than an hour later before relaunching their counterattack, and this time the counterattack, it was obvious that the Ming military was no longer ready to carry out the previous tactics, but was really ready to send the Hongtang army back to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

The Ming army, which was really moving in unison, shrouded the entire south bank of the Yellow River for several miles, and there was a scene of people everywhere, like a long snake pressing up on the position on the south bank of Hongtang.

The artillery on the Hongtang battleship from the river began to exert force, and the roar like thunder shook the entire field outside Jinan Mansion to the sky; On the ground, the gunfire of the Hongtang army, the neighing of the Ming soldiers firing their bows and arrows piercing the air, and the shouts and shouts of countless soldiers fighting and colliding with the swords, depict the darkest hour of dawn to the fullest.

The soldiers on the south bank of Hongtang, together with the third batch of support troops, finally had a strength of more than 5,000 troops, but the pressure and burden they faced when facing the attack of more than 20,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty can be imagined.

Fortunately, the decision made by Jiang Zhengguo before allowed them to take advantage of the limited geographical defects to help them relieve a lot of pressure, coupled with the artillery of the Hongtang fleet and the bloody battles of the low-level combat soldiers, they finally stabilized the formation and held on until the Hongtang support troops arrived behind.

Fighting all night, not only the Hongtang army felt difficult, but in fact, for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty army, it was not a kind of torment!

The sky was getting brighter, and it was not until this time that the two sides fought against the soldiers, and they really witnessed with their own eyes what the battlefield had become.

There were corpses soaked in sludge everywhere, and the original dark yellow sludge had become a pool of dark red and black mud because of too much blood and water, and after the corpses were incontinent, the real battlefield was shrouded in a foul smell, and even every time a soldier fell, there was feces and urine flowing from the corpses on their heads and bodies.

“…… Rush up to Lao Tzu ......"

“…… Kill one enemy and reward one or two ...... silver"

“…… Hold on! Hold on to ......"

"The third company! The third company, give Lao Tzu to beat them down......"

The sound of all kinds of roars and the sound of commanding the battle was mixed, leading the battle to continue the stalemate, but for each other, the longer they held on, the development of the situation in the battle situation would gradually tilt in the direction of Hongtang's army.

Another group of Hongtang soldiers, with the help of dozens of big ships and hundreds of small boats, crossed over, and with their arrival, the pressure on the soldiers on the south bank of Hongtang became much less.

"It's time to go!"

Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of the Jinan Mansion of the Ming Army, held the binoculars captured from the Hongtang army, looked at the Hongtang soldiers on the south bank of the Yellow River, who were landing like dumplings, and made his own judgment with regret: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

"Whoa!"

The sound of Ming Jin soon sounded, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who had been fighting all night, finally breathed a sigh of air after hearing the order to collect the troops, and they all turned around and retreated, but gave the Hongtang defenders behind them some opportunities, and took advantage of this to raise their guns and kill dozens of hundreds of Ming soldiers.

But the results of the battle stopped, and even the generals of the Hongtang army did not think about pursuing, seeing that the Ming Dynasty army retreated, slowly approached Jinan Mansion, and disappeared under everyone's noses, they put the weapons in their hands into the mud, and fell down in despair.

"Get up, get up for me, have it all, advance three hundred zhang, and build a line of defense!"

Yu Yiqiang propped himself up, and continued to roar in a hoarse voice, kicking and dragging to remind the fallen soldiers around him, and finally it took a long time, with the help of the follow-up reinforcements, Ziao pulled a group of remnants who had fought all night and froze in the ice water all night to the shore.

Fortunately, at this time, it was not too far away from summer, and the sky gradually warmed up as the sun rose, and the soldiers who were fighting and sweating during the night battle, and at the same time were frozen by the mud under their feet, their faces gradually became a little more rosy, at least the military doctors who were quickly rescuing the wounded were relieved.
