Gultai, who was in full swing, stopped his charge, and he looked around nervously, not knowing what was happening.

First of all, the frontal, the frontal enemy seems to be tenacious, in fact, the end of the crossbow, the casualties are estimated to be about 10,000 people, and death is happening all the time, the Qing army has successfully forced them to a dead end, as long as such a high-intensity casualty exchange ratio, the Qing army died fifty people, the Southern Ming army killed two or three people, continue, then the Qing army with 80,000 people, can still be the Southern Ming army that is only more than 10,000 now.

What's more, this ratio of casualties is getting closer and closer, the bows and arrows of the Qing army are shooting more accurately, and the arquebuses of the Southern Ming army are less and less able to reload, and when they fall into hand-to-hand combat, the ratio of casualties may be reversed, which he is very confident that even if the current Southern Ming army is more tenacious, he can make them collapse.

Crossing the battle lines of both sides, seeing the Qing army pouring into the vicinity of Yongfu County at the bottom of the peninsula like a tide, most of the people went to attack the rear line of the Southern Ming Army, the Southern Ming Army was divided in half, as long as the cavalry of the Qing Army could force the other side to abandon the two wings, narrow the defensive circle, and the cavalry took the opportunity to break into the combination of the two on the other side, an open area two or three miles wide, then it could divide and encircle the enemy.

Perhaps the enemy has realized this danger and is adjusting, and the two armies are slowly retreating, close to each other, and this flaw is being quickly filled.

Behind him, he saw that the army on his side was pressing, and the Southern Ming army was unable to support it alone, and some of the fleeing Kong Youde Qing troops also joined in a group to encircle and suppress the enemy.

And more of Gao Zhixiang's subordinates fled back to Guilin Mansion without looking back.

In the distance, in the distance, he suddenly saw some troops in the distance that were different from the uniforms of the Qing army, neatly like an array line that suddenly appeared on the horizon, his mind froze, and then a consciousness told him, "Enemy - reinforcements." ”

Yes, the enemy reinforcements, like dilated pupils, appeared more and more in the hilly areas of the horizon, and then, after only a few breaths, they were enlarged to the point that he could fully recognize them.

On the left is the Li character flag, and on the right is the king character flag.

The two banners are very familiar, because they both served under the account of the more famous clan generals of the Bolobel Manchu Dynasty, and when the Jiangyin Massacre, Li Chengdong and his army were the main force and broke through the county seat of Jiangyin.

Now his banner appears here, but the object of allegiance has changed, no longer the yellow dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty, but the blue dragon flag of Longwu Nanming.

The enemy's infantry quickly overwhelmed the large battalions on both sides of the river, which had been almost emptied, and then a large number of cavalry rushed onto the bridge, and the Qing soldiers on the bridge who were crossing the bridge jumped into the river to avoid the attack of the enemy army.

After crossing the bridge, the army directly swept the rear of the Qing army of the Southern Ming army that attacked the field.

At this time, the Qing troops on both sides of the river resisted desperately, and the enemy's army broke through the resistance like a bamboo, dividing the Qing army on the river side and the Qing army on this side of the river.

After crossing the river, the enemy's infantry divided into two groups, one attacking the Qing army on their own side, and the other attacking the Qing army attacking Yongfu County, and the two sides were strangled together, although it immediately seemed that the enemy only had the upper hand, and had not completely defeated the Qing troops on both sides of the river.

After all, the combined strength of the Qing troops on these two sides was more than 120,000, which was more than the strength of his own side, but he still felt that it was only a matter of time before the enemy defeated them.

The enemy has the upper hand over there, and their own soldiers have the upper hand on this side, and it will soon be time to divide the enemy army.

A Mongol cavalry of 2,000 men broke into the open space at the junction of the Southern Ming army and fought hard to strangle the enemy, who was obviously confused, and desperately dispatched cavalry to intercept this Qing army, and at the same time accelerated the speed of the meeting between the two sides.

There is still a chance, there is still a chance, hold on a little longer, Mang Gurtai said to himself.

He threw the last of his mobile forces into the battle to divide the enemy forces.

Finally, after half an hour of fighting, Mang Gurtai made progress, the enemy was divided at a distance of five hundred meters, and both sides were surrounded by the superior Qing army.

In many places, the two encircled groups no longer have that sense of distance, Mang Gurtai saw that the Southern Ming army had formed a circular defensive formation, several large circular defensive formations were about thirty meters apart from each other, covering each other, helping each other, and the Qing army broke through between these distances and slashed the enemy with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and halberds.

What about the enemy?

On the periphery were all holding a two-meter-long arquebus, with a short sword stuck in the head of the gun, standing up, the cold light flashed, like a phalanx of pikemen, so that the attacking Qing army was like encountering a hedgehog, and there was no way to speak.

The Nanming army with the short sword was next to each other, leaning on each other tightly, and behind them was a cold weapon unit with a shield, constantly assassinating the enemy who tried to break through the periphery of the first circle with the long sword in his hand, and at the same time using the shield in his hand to help his companions in the front row resist the enemy's bow and arrow damage.

The third circle is the arquebusier, they seem to be stepping on their own team, standing high, constantly shooting outward with arquebus, the outside of the phalanx are Qing troops, and there is no need to aim, fire a shot, just change a gun, do not need to reload by yourself, naturally there is a team behind you to load.

The arquebusiers at this time were free fire, there was no salvo, because there were enemies everywhere.

Sitting on a tall warhorse, Mang Gurtai could see the enemy in the middle of the circle.

In the middle were the wounded, drummers, horses, cavalrymen, and men and artillerymen.

There were also some soldiers who were idle, helping to rescue the wounded, loading ammunition, and constantly counterattacking from the gaps that were opened, and then taking the weapons handed over by the team, filling the gaps, and resisting the Qing army.

Is this the Southern Ming Army?

The image of the Southern Ming Army that he knew before was subverted in his heart, so tenacious, so strong, and the battle was killed and injured to such an extent that it did not collapse, what were they waiting for?

Did they think that the Nanming army over there could save them?

He saw that the Southern Ming army over there was also in a bitter battle, because after all, the numerical advantage of the Qing army was much more obvious, and the Ming army that came to the rescue would obviously not be more than his total strength.

But as soon as he thought about it, he saw a lot of Ming troops pouring in the distance, these Ming troops may not have the elite of the previous Ming army, and even in rags, but they still rushed into the battlefield and fought with the Qing army.

This is undoubtedly a heavy pressure on the Qing army, which has been fighting for a long time and still has a high proportion of casualties.

The Qing troops in the riverside camps on both sides collapsed, and the camps were taken.

Then these Ming troops, who were not strong in combat, crossed the river and joined the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in Yongfu County, where the Qing army was about to collapse.

A small part of this Ming army soon took the opportunity to pour into Yongfu County, climbed to the top of the city to help strengthen the defense of where, and then surrounded the Qing army near Yongfu County, the Qing army collapsed, such a small place, there was no place to escape, except for some people desperately jumped into the river and fled, soon about one or two thousand Qing troops were captured, and then where was empty, the enemy freed up his forces, and returned to the army to flank and besiege another part of the Southern Ming Army that was divided.

Just when Mang Gurtai thought that the enemy would win with the superiority of troops with this newly joined new force, the desolate trumpets sounded on the riverside on both sides, and the Ming army that was besieging and attacking the divided Southern Ming Army suddenly retreated like a tide and came to the whole team under the county seat of Yongfu.
