The gunmen in the first row were measuring the distance, and when they heard the military order from Liu Zongmin, they did not hesitate to pull the trigger in their hands, and the gunshots were endless.

The Ming army was running with their heads down, and the top soldiers who were strong, strong, and combat-ready gradually ran at the front of the team, and when they heard the gunshots, they were taken aback, and on the battlefield, any abnormal movement was dangerous.

But they understood too late, and the bullets of the rifles aimed at their bodies at speeds they could not imagine, piercing the armor and burrowing into the flesh.

At first, the soldiers only felt discomfort in a certain part of their bodies, until they saw the blood oozing out, and the pain came from the wound, and the soldiers who were injured in the vital parts fell to the ground violently, holding the mud and choking on the ground.

Inertia played an important role, and the Ming army behind still rushed forward, although they heard the "bang" sound, they didn't know what was happening in front of them, and they felt that something was wrong when they saw their companions fall down one after another.

The gunners of the Mandate of Heaven practiced "three-stage" shooting, the soldiers in the first row were always half-kneeling, and the soldiers in the second row stood behind the soldiers in the first row, and when the soldiers in the first row completed the salvo, the soldiers in the second row had already aimed at the end, and then pulled the trigger.

The soldiers in the second row immediately crouched down and rushed to reload their ammunition after shooting, while the gunners in the third row behind him, after a short aiming, also pulled the trigger.

Between the three rows of gunners, the interval between shots was very short, and at the speed of the human brain, it was negligible, leaving almost no time for the Ming soldiers to think.

A wave of shooting, more than 5,000 bullets!

In the face of infantry at close range, the hit rate of Xining rifles reached at least 40 percent, and in the case of a particularly dense Ming army like today, it may even reach 50 percent.

Although he didn't know the exact number, Liu Zongmin grinned, the casualties of the Ming army were probably no less than forty percent, two thousand!

The wounded soldier rolled all over the ground, rolling the muddy path into a mirror-like surface, only to be trampled by the soldiers behind him with deep footprints.

The gunners in the first platoon of Liu Zongmin's department had already finished loading and started the next wave of shooting.

The war cycles repeatedly, and the Ming army repeated the dead and wounded!

At a range of one hundred and fifty paces, the wounded soldiers and corpses of the Ming army completely blocked the road, and if the soldiers wanted to continue the attack, they had to step over the corpses of their comrades, but there was no mud on the corpses, which was a little easier.

Although Niu Chenghu was far away from the rear to supervise the formation, when he heard the "bang" gunshot, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, could it be that the Heavenly Mandate Army had come up with some novel firearms?

Fortunately, this time, he was not fighting a decisive battle with the Mandate of Heaven, but as a bait to lure the Mandate Army to the "pocket" that the officers and soldiers had already laid out!

Officers and men suffered casualties, but they still did not enter the positions of the Mandate of Heaven.

Although he didn't know how many soldiers had been killed or wounded, Niu Chenghu felt that it was enough, and it was not once or twice that the officers and soldiers escaped in front of the Heavenly Mandate Army, otherwise the land of Henan would not have swallowed up the two trilateral governors......

Niu Chenghu hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" ”

The soldiers of the Ming army were trembling, and when they received such an amnesty, they immediately turned their heads and ran back, and many soldiers deliberately kicked off their boots in order to speed up, and ran barefoot, with less mud on them, and ran faster......

Liu Zongmin was so angry that he scolded: "Ma Qiao, it's only time to pee, and the Ming army has retreated?" Lao Tzu is ready to be annihilated...... No, chase quickly, increase the range ......"

"Chase!"

"Kill!"

"Don't let the bunny run away!"

The soldiers got up one after another, shouting and rushing at the Ming army.

The gunners of the Mandate of Heaven Army, while pursuing, had to reload at the same time, and they would definitely not be able to catch up with the fleeing Ming army, but they could pursue a short distance in a short time, and they could also expand the range of the rifle, at least to shoot the bullets in the rifle.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were fleeing were all facing away from the Mandate of Heaven Army, not only did they not have the consciousness of dodging bullets, but they were also crowded together, very dense, and the hit rate of the rifles was higher than just now.

However, the gunners were not good at pursuit, and after only chasing for more than a mile, they stopped and turned back to clean up the battlefield.

Niu Chenghu was secretly rejoicing, but he didn't expect shouts to come from both sides, it turned out that the Zhuo Guangyu Department of the first regiment of the Chengtian Battalion had long been hidden on the slopes on both sides.

Seeing the defeat and escape of the Ming army, Zhuo Guangyu immediately killed from both sides, but unfortunately Niu Chenghu had escaped from the encirclement, so Zhuo Guangyu pursued behind and killed the Ming army.

Niu Chenghu ran for three or four miles, only then did he get rid of the pursuit of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and seeing that there were less than two thousand soldiers following, he couldn't help but whip the small tree on the side of the road: Ma Qiao, the Heavenly Mandate Army is also an ambush, if it is not for the fast withdrawal, these soldiers of Lao Tzu are probably gone!

The Mandate of Heaven is so afraid?

There is a village not far from the left, but Niu Chenghu does not dare to enter the village to rest, the Mandate of Heaven Army may chase after him at any time, but it is okay, it was originally a bait, if the Mandate of Heaven Army is attracted over, it can just complete the task assigned by the Governor......

Niu Chenghu was not sure whether the Mandate of Heaven Army would continue to pursue, so he sent a ranger to investigate while slowly heading north, while walking, waiting for the Mandate of Heaven Army behind him.

The ranger soon returned and told Niu Chenghu that the Mandate of Heaven Army had caught up, Niu Chenghu was frightened and hurriedly asked the soldiers to speed up, and he was the first to escape on a war horse.

Zhuo Guangyu pursued for more than ten miles, but gradually distanced himself from Niu Chenghu, and when he saw that it was getting late, he camped on the spot and waited for the main force of the Chengtian camp behind.

Gao Ligong saw that Zhuo Guangyu had chased him out, so he conveyed the military order, and the remaining three regiments of the Chengtian battalion immediately packed up and set off to meet Zhuo Guangyu's department.

Walking to the battlefield just now, looking at the thousands of corpses, Gao Ligong's eyes showed envy, "Jie Xuan, it's better to have a rifle, in the blink of an eye, shoot a lot of Ming troops, brothers should get a lot of rewards, right?" ”

Liu Zongmin threw away the whip and stepped up the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, but he came to Gao Ligong's side, "Brother Gao, don't envy Jiexuan, these are the merits of the rifle, and the brothers' rewards should not be too much," he paused and said with a smile: "I envy the eldest brother, Sun Chuanting's main force, or the eldest brother will go out, if the eldest brother has a lot of military achievements, there is no place to spend the reward, don't forget to invite the brothers to drink when the time comes." ”

"That's for sure, Jiexuan waits!" Gao Ligong laughed, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and galloped north.

Sure enough, as Li Zicheng expected, the main force of the Ming army was ambushed on both sides of the official road, Zhuo Guangyu pursued the remnants of Niu Chenghu, in the east of Jiaxian, was ambushed by the Ming army, the Ming army left on the left, Zheng Jiadong on the right, and Gao Jie in the middle, the ambush was exhausted, and the remnants of Niu Chenghu also turned around to join the battle group, and Zhuo Guangyu was tightly surrounded.

When Gao Ligong got the information, he immediately urged the army to march quickly, and the soldiers of the three regiments also joined the battle group, forty or fifty thousand soldiers, and a melee killed him in the dark.

Li Xin's independent regiment later joined the war group, and the Mandate of Heaven army relied on its numerical superiority and began to implement counter-encirclement against the Ming army.

Sun Chuanting, who was supervising the battle in the rear, was shocked, could it be that the Mandate of Heaven army had calculated that the officers and soldiers were ambushed here? Or is there a lot of people in the Mandate of Heaven army, and there is no fear at all?

Although the situation of the officers and soldiers is unfavorable, they cannot retreat, otherwise it will be a rout!

The sky seemed to darken suddenly, the form of the battlefield became more and more chaotic, there were battles everywhere, there were shouts of killing everywhere, the officers and soldiers and the Heavenly Mandate Army had been strangled together, Sun Chuanting stood on a high place, looking around, and the officers and soldiers were gradually surrounded by the superior Heavenly Mandate Army, cut into small pieces......

If this continues, sooner or later, the officers and soldiers will be broken by the Mandate of Heaven Army!

Although the Mandate of Heaven Army is a rogue, there are many talents hidden in the army......

Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth and put the last army in his hand, Bai Guangen's department, into the battlefield, and he told Bai Guangen: Don't think about killing and injuring the Heavenly Mandate Army, use the fresh army to cut the encirclement of the Heavenly Mandate Army as soon as possible, and pick up the officers and soldiers in each circle, as long as the officers and soldiers are concentrated in one or two places, they can fight against the superior Heavenly Mandate Army.

Bai Guangen's fresh army, like a swimming dragon, cut a hole in the encirclement of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and then responded to the soldiers in each encirclement and gathered the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers are still surrounded by the Mandate of Heaven Army, but there are only a few large encirclements, and there will be no signs of defeat for a while and a half, so they will hold on, and with the combat effectiveness of the Mandate of Heaven Army, if they can't hold on, the Ming Army can then cover up and win a big victory.

On the land of Henan, there has not been a case of officers and soldiers winning more with less for a long time.......

Sun Chuanting couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the situation was completely developing towards the discovery he had envisioned, and he personally raised his drumsticks to beat the drums for the soldiers who were fighting.

The Governor personally beat the drums, the Ming army became more and more brave the more they fought, the numerical inferiority had been forgotten by them, the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven were besieging and killing officers and soldiers, every time they raised their swords, every time they slashed and killed an enemy soldier, it was possible to end the battle, in order to boost morale, most of the regiment commanders personally joined the battle group.

Li Xinli was standing on a slope on the east side, not only frowned slightly, but the battlefield situation was so stalemate, he really didn't expect it.

Although the Ming army set up an ambush, the Mandate of Heaven army increased reinforcements twice, and its morale should continue to improve, and it occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, but it could not see the dawn of victory.

If it was Yang Wenyue's Baoding soldiers, or Zuo Liangyu's Huguang soldiers, I am afraid that this battle would have been won long ago, at least there is no worry now, could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Shaanxi soldiers far exceeded their expectations?

Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian, the former governors of the three sides, also led the Shaanxi soldiers to Henan and fought with the Heavenly Mandate Army, but they didn't see the combat effectiveness of the Shaanxi soldiers being particularly strong, is it because of Sun Chuanting?

In the past, when Sun Chuanting was the governor of Shaanxi, Li Xin was still in the prison of Qi County, and he didn't know Sun Chuanting very well!

Looking at the battlefield that was still stalemate, Li Xin's brows twisted into a pimple, at this time, he naturally could not withdraw his troops, otherwise it would be a rout.

He was also unwilling to withdraw his troops, and such a good opportunity netted the main force of the Ming army......

Li Xin is not worried about casualties, the independent battalion and the Chengtian battalion have not been in the army for a long time, there are not many opportunities for big battles and hard battles, battles like today's can just train the troops, and when the battle is over, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be greatly improved, and if the Ming army can be defeated, the soldiers can also gain confidence in the Ming army.

However, this is a battlefield, not a training ground, and if these soldiers can't withstand it, the result will be a fiasco!

Li Xinxin swept the battlefield in the distance, and when he saw Zheng Jiadong's department on the right side of the Ming army, his heart didn't move......
