In the crackling gunfire, the Qing cavalry fell off their horses one by one. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe morale of the Qing army, which was high because it broke the front of the Tiger Division, suddenly fell into the freezing point.

Once again, the war is back to square one.

Although the Tiger Ben Division is a private army, it is a different private army. There are no corrupt officers in the Tiger Division, and the channels for the promotion of soldiers for military merit are unimpeded. The Tiger Benshi Division has the most generous pension system, and the soldiers who died in the war not only have a pension higher than the average salary level of the Ming Dynasty, but also the family members can also get the honor of the martyrs' families. Although these soldiers are afraid of death, they are not afraid of dying in battle.

The Qing army routed the front of the Tiger Division, but the Tiger Division was tenacious beyond the imagination of the Qing army, and the other three fronts of the Tiger Division were still intact, and they set up a circular formation to meet the Qing army.

Not only that, but the six small rounds also protected the frontal soldiers who had collapsed.

Six small Roundabouts were placed on both sides of the original Great Roundabout, just enough to cover the soldiers who had collapsed, allowing the soldiers in front to calmly retreat from the middle of the Great Roundabout. The cavalry was in a high position on the horse, and the soldiers of the Tiger Division could pass over the rout in the front row and shoot the Qing cavalry in the back row. If the Qing army did not attack the small Echo Formation and instead pursued the router, it would be subjected to concentrated fire from the six Small Echo Formations on both sides.

It was simply impossible to pursue the rout under the fire of several thousand riflemen.

After chasing a few hundred meters, even the three thousand riflemen at the rear of the Great Circle would shoot at the Qing army. Therefore, the Qing army had no choice, and if it wanted to expand its gains, it must first break through the six roundabout formations on both sides.

But the six small retrofitting formations are not so easy to break down. The morale of the Qing army could no longer support them to launch the same forward charge as before.

In order to break the front of the Tiger Division, the Qing soldiers were bombarded by flowering shells, bombarded by shotguns, and after rushing to a distance of 120 meters, they were fired five rounds by rifles, and the dead soldiers were fired three more rounds when they were cleaning up the thistles in front of the formation. In order to clean out those thistles, the Qing army paid for the lives of 2,000 people.

Combined with the casualties of the storming bayonet formation, the Qing army had already sacrificed eight or nine thousand men and horses. Even with an army of 50,000 people, the casualties at this time had exceeded 15 percent.

The Qing army could no longer afford to make such a decisive charge just now.

Hauge rode in the center of the Qing army's more than 40,000 cavalry, and commanded the charge under the protection of a few hundred swingers. Seeing the situation before the battle, his eyes turned blood-red.

Is this battle going to be lost? If this battle is lost, where will my Qing Dynasty go?

The morale of these Nikans is so high. The front was crushed, and the soldiers on the flanks were not coerced and collapsed, but changed formations and continued to fight. Is this still the Ming Army? Hauge had only known that the Tiger Division was well-equipped, but he didn't know that the morale of this army was so tenacious.

The Qing troops in the front row fell one after another in the constant gunfire in the Retrospective Formation, and if this continued, the Qing soldiers would collapse.

Hauge snatched the horn of the trumpeter beside him and blew the horn of the charge with all his might.

Rush up and compare with Nikan who will collapse first.

Hearing the horn of Hauge's charge, the marching brawlers brandished their sabers at the hesitant cavalrymen, forcing the whole army to move on. The drums of the Chinese army were beaten violently, and the army of more than 40,000 people once again picked up and rushed towards the two small retrofitting formations in the front.

One side of the small formation was only fifty meters, and the 40,000 troops directly attacked the two sides of the small formation.

There were more than a thousand soldiers on the front and sides of the two small formations, and these soldiers were not afraid of the death charge of the Tartars, and quickly crouched down to reload, stood up to aim, fired, and crouched down to reload. Bullets rained down on the charging Tartars like a storm, taking life after life.

The distance of one hundred and fifty meters is the distance between victory and defeat. The corpses of the Tartars piled up in front of the battle again, and with each step forward, the Tartars threw countless lives behind.

The war has turned into a bloody war of attrition, a contest about who has the best morale and who can hold out better to the end.

Huang Taiji stood on the royal car, his face was pale, and his hands holding the telescope trembled slightly. He knew that the battle was lost.

There is no doubt that the morale of the Ming army was higher. From the resounding red turban army song, we know that in this battle, the morale of the Ming army is like a rainbow. Even the average Ming army is full of fighting spirit, let alone an elite tiger master?

The casualties of the 50,000 Qing troops were close to 20%, while the Tiger Ben Division, although it was crushed in the front, only 10% of the casualties.

The Tiger Division had higher morale and lower casualties, and the situation on the battlefield was like a millstone strangling the Qing army. There is no doubt that this battle tiger master will have the last laugh. Even if Hauge could break down the two small phalanxes in front, there would be many more small phalanxes behind, each of which would require the Qing soldiers to pile up countless corpses.

There is no chance of winning this battle.

In this decisive battle, I lost the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji thought about it and coughed violently. He couldn't stop coughing, so he could only cover his mouth with his hands.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand down, and Huang Taiji saw the blood on his hand.

On the battlefield, twenty-six heavy guns of two small Retrofitting Formations opened fire. Nearly 10,000 shotgun projectiles were fired at the Qing cavalry, which was already at the end of the crossbow, and hundreds of people were killed in an instant.

With a bang, the Qing army collapsed.

At first, a mentally broken infantry soldier turned his horse's head and galloped back and forth against the cavalry behind. The cavalry behind should have hacked the deserter to death, but none of them did. Everyone seemed to be enveloped by this fleeing Qing soldier in an instant, and they all collapsed.

Nearly 10,000 Qing troops had died, and the casualty rate was close to 20 percent, while the Tiger Division was full of morale and showed no signs of defeat. Every Qing soldier who rushed in front of the battle knew that this battle could not be won, and it was just a matter of death if he rushed forward again.

The 40,000 Qing troops no longer charged at the rifle formation in front of them, but turned their horses' heads and fled to the east and west, to places where bullets could not be fired, to places where artillery shells could not hit, and to flee in the direction of far away from the soldiers of the Tiger Division.

The mighty army of 40,000 turned into a rout, panicking and not choosing a road.

The only ones who didn't run away were Hauge, who was mentally out of control, and the two hundred tooth wraisers around him. Hauge had already rushed to the front of the array just now to boost morale, but he didn't expect the army to collapse so quickly. With his mouth wide open and his eyes red, he desperately slashed at the deserters around him, but he could not stop the rout.

The rout retreated from the side of the two hundred swinging tooth lamas like a tide, and the Qing soldiers in front of him became fewer and fewer, and Hauge was actually let into the field of vision of the musketeers of the Tiger Ben Division.

By the time Hauge found out, it was too late.

The Manchu nobles, dressed in ornate armor and surrounded by swinging teeth, were certainly the best targets for riflemen. There was a crackling of gunfire, and more than a hundred bullets were fired at Hauge. Dozens of tooth wraths around Hauge were like scarecrows that had lost their souls, screaming and falling in pools of blood.

Hauge woke up from a dream, and he turned his horse's head to flee back and forth.

But Hauge couldn't run away. The change in rate of fire brought about by nitrocellulose can be described as a qualitative change, and only five seconds later, another gunshot, another bullet fired at Hauge. Hauge was shot in the back with three bullets, one in the back of the head, and several bloody arrows from his body.

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Huang Taiji's desire to pass the throne to him, fell under the horse without saying a word.
