The second round of the Qing army's offensive soon began.

It's just that this time it's no longer cavalry, the battlefield is full of dead horses and dead corpses of the Qing army, and the Mingshun coalition army took the opportunity to erect a large number of stakes to reject the horses, the cavalry is not suitable for such a battlefield where there is no flank to outflank, and the Qing cavalry itself does not have the habit of rushing to the front, and the infantry rushing to the front cavalry to copy the flank is the standard tactic.

So the one who attacked again was replaced by shield chariot heavy infantry.

Pushed forward by the soldiers, the shield carts made of cowhide iron and wooden plates were staggered like fish scales to form a continuous moving city wall, and behind these shield carts were Qing spearmen, sword players, and even a small number of bird guns. But they are not the main attackers, their main task is only to protect the shield chariots, blocking the direct attack of the opponent's infantry, and the archers who are really responsible for the main attack are the archers, who live by hunting, and the barbarian archers who have been accompanied by bows and arrows almost since birth, have used their tactics of shooting their faces at close range countless times to defeat a Ming army.

The solution to this tactic is simple.

Equipped with light artillery, mountain splitting guns, heavy arquebuses, and even simply carrying guns between guns, as long as they can blast away shield cars within fifty meters.

You can also blast it away with a gun.

The power of the projectile, which weighs almost half a catty, is not cowhide, and the iron plate and wooden board can block it.

Of course, if there were mortars, there would be no need to be so troublesome, even if it was a human mortar.

Yang Qing's response was to continue throwing gunpowder packets.

It's just that these gunpowder bags were urgently made for him by the sailors on the battleship, not only on the battleship of the Denglai Naval Division, but also on the four battleships of Zheng Chenggong, and even the sailors on the battleships of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Naval Divisions were ordered to make gunpowder bags for him, these battleships usually have multiple cannons, Zheng Chenggong's four battleships are even equipped with more than a dozen cannons, and his father's flagship can even reach the level of a European cruiser, and these cannons are usually equipped with hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder.

After all, a single shot costs several pounds of gunpowder.

Yang Qing has sufficient raw materials.

The manufacturing method is simpler.

It is nothing more than wrapping gunpowder in layers of silk, the tighter it is wrapped, the more powerful it is, and if there is no iron chain outside, it is simply tied with brown rope, and then sent to the landing site to be transported, and as long as they hold on to the front, it is impossible for the Qing army to bypass the large muddy tidal flats and Tianjiao Mountain to attack his rear transportation line.

He can throw this thing forward behind the spear array of the infantry, and then constantly blow up the shield car array of the Qing army, although the latter will not collapse as frightened as a war horse, but the explosion of a thirty-pound gunpowder bag in the infantry in a dense formation will still cause at least dozens of casualties, no matter how brave the Qing army is in the face of this, it has to instinctively flee, and the Shun army archers behind the horse belt and spear forest and the bird gunners of the Ming army's sailors, and even light artillerymen such as Fran Ji, will use feather arrows and bullets, Shotguns continued to shoot at the Qing troops who had been blown apart.

Li Laiheng and his cavalry would attack at the right time to increase the Qing army's casualty tally.

Of course, his task was mainly to protect the left flank and prevent the Qing infantry from attacking over the mountains and forests, while Yang Qing's right flank was along the beach, which could not be detoured to attack at all, and the tide had begun to rise at this time, and even some of the warships of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval divisions also appeared on the sea surface of the flank at this time, taking advantage of the tide to use naval guns to attack the Qing army on the shore.

As for the reinforcements from Jiangsu and Zhejiang......

"Quick, hurry up and line up, Gonggong Han said, go back and make up all the military salaries owed over the years, and kill a slave and reward a hundred taels of silver, this is what Gonggong Han swore to the sky!"

Fang Guoan urged his subordinates.

This originally surrendered after the loss of the Qiantang River defense line in history, and then was killed because of the Qing Dynasty, and was also the main force of this welcoming army, after all, his soldiers have all fought, although the results are not good, but after all, they are stronger than those farmers who have never been on the battlefield, especially under the stimulation of money, there is still a certain combat effectiveness. They landed as a striker to reinforce Yang Qing, but they just happened to bump into Bolo, who went around the rear to attack, and the opponent who had historically faced the Qiantang River defense line came face to face in advance.

At the urging of Fang Guoan, the 10,000 soldiers under him hurriedly lined up.

On the other side, Bolo was also in a hurry.

However, the latter has no cavalry, and there is no shield car, of course it is impossible for the Qing army to push the shield cart over the mountains and mountains, it is just a light infantry with a contradictory bow and arrow knife, they did not expect to bump into the Ming army of the brigade behind Yang Qing, originally Dolgon thought that the Ming army on the sea had retreated! But Fang Guoan not only has an absolute advantage in troops, but also has gorgeous equipment, complete birds, light artillery, and even a Franco machine.

However......

It was still Bolo who took the initiative.

In the protection of the shield wall, the Qing army quickly formed a formation and rushed forward, and the arrows fired by the infantry archers behind them swept over their heads and fell in the Ming army, and then Fang Guoan's formation began to shake habitually, those artillery fired chaotically, and then reloaded ammunition in confusion, and the bird gunners also trembled and looked at the Qing army roaring madly, and then some people subconsciously wanted to turn around......

"Steady, steady, let Jiannu enter the customs and go down to Jiangnan to rob our silver!" Kill a Jiannu and reward 100 taels! ”

Fang Guoan shouted anxiously in the back.

However, this is not much use, these soldiers do not have much silver worth grabbing, as the arrows above the head continue to fall, the Ming army in the array began to fall continuously, and then the formation is crumbling, this is usually the most normal situation for the Ming army in the face of the Qing army, it is not that no one has promised a high reward before, and in the end there is basically no cash, and the soldiers are not so stupid!

But at this time, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the north side of the battlefield, led by Li Laiheng, who was prancing on horseback and spearhead, and led the elite of the five hundred Shun army straight to Bolo's flank.

Then the Ming army immediately stabilized.

Then the surging Qing army entered the range of the bird's gun.

"Fire!"

Fang Guoan yelled.

The Ming army bird gunner pulled the trigger at the same time, the dense bullets hit the Qing army like a storm, the protection ability of the simple infantry shield obviously has a huge gap with the heavy shield car, in the splash of broken wood, the front Qing army fell in pieces, and then the second row of the Ming army's bird gunners stepped forward to fire again, and gradually stabilized their emotions They immediately found that their opponent was just like this, without the barrier of the shield car, their bullets could easily shoot the enemy, and the rows of Ming army bird gunners began to really follow their usual training, Platoon guns fired at the Qing army in turn.

Shotgun-loaded guns also fired non-stop.

Although some of the Qing troops still rushed to the front of the formation, the spearmen and sword players who were protecting the bird-gunners stepped forward, and even some archers joined the battle.

And so the scuffle began.

And Li Laiheng's cavalry rushed directly to the Qing archers, who had to retreat, they had no ability to resist in the face of the cavalry attacking from the flanks, they did not even have shields, they could only retreat into the mountains and forests where they came, relying on the cover of trees to shoot arrows at the cavalry. And some of those who didn't have time to withdraw were immediately knocked down by the surging cavalry and trampled under the horse's hooves, and then the Qing army was divided at once, and the support in the front melee was immediately lost, and the strength advantage of Fang Guoan's department was highlighted, and the 10,000 Ming army began to encircle.

Li Laiheng, who had completed the interspersed division, immediately turned around and returned to the northern battlefield.

He's here to put out a fire.

His main duty is to guard the flanks of his own camp and will not waste time here.

And Wang Zhiren, who arrived behind him, took the opportunity to follow the insertion to fill the gap.

The landing of the Ming army was also carried out in batches, many large warships did not have the ability to rush the beach, only those small and medium-sized warships with shallow draft could rush the beach, and those artillery and the like could only be transported by small boats, these landings took time, Wang Zhiren's department was actually only 5,000, and the rest were still in the landing, but this was enough, the Ming army was blocking the Qing army that had withdrawn into the forest at the same time as Fang Guoan was encircling and fighting.

The end of this Qing army was doomed.

They are actually less than 3,000 people, and they have been killed a lot by cannons and bird guns before, but now they have to face the encirclement of more than 10,000 Ming troops, and they are only supported by stronger individual combat capabilities, but it is impossible to fight out of the encirclement, and the retreating Bolo can only helplessly watch them being submerged, he can't continue to rescue, not that he is afraid of Wang Zhiren's 5,000 Ming army, but the cavalry of Li Laiheng's wing on the flank is too threatening.

This cavalry is full of evil.

Of course, this is for us in the Qing Dynasty.

Even if he replaced all his subordinates with cavalry, Bolo did not dare to guarantee that he would win against this strong elite of the Shun army, not to mention that he only had 2,000 infantry archers under him, and he could only entangle with Wang Zhiren's troops to prevent this Ming army from joining the siege, and at the same time report to Dolgon for reinforcements. In this way, the entire battlefield was divided into three parts, Yang Qing blocked the main force of the Qing army, Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren respectively entangled with the Qing army attacking his back with superior forces, and Li Laiheng's 1,000 cavalry maneuvered on the battlefield and acted as firefighters for the entire battlefield. So far, the troops directly invested by both sides on the battlefield have been close to 40,000, and more troops are still joining the battlefield, this is actually not a small-scale blocking battle, almost all of them have become a campaign-level battle between the Mingshun coalition army and the Qing army.

But the scales of victory remained on Dorgon's side.

Because as long as there is another Qing army around the back of the battlefield, then Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren will definitely not be able to support it, even if the follow-up Ming army also arrives, Dolgon's follow-up is also constantly coming, here is only half a day's journey from Jinzhou, in fact, the Qing army that arrived at Tashan at this time has exceeded 30,000.

In other words, the temporary advantage of the Mingshun coalition can only last for another hour at most.

In fact, there was not even an hour.

"Jiannu cavalry!"

At the observation post on the top of Longbei Mountain, the Ming army officer holding a telescope suddenly let out an exclamation.

On the road that crossed the mountains and forests in front of them, the dust raised by countless cavalry rushed wildly and snaked forward like a gray python.

The army of Ao Bai has arrived.
