Ma Degong often didn't expect Hong Chengchou to abandon him, but this can't be blamed on Hong Chengchou, only blame him for being too good at drilling camps, and too careless, several troops in your hands are all led by Hong Chengchou's generals, with Hong Chengchou's shrewdness and calculation, decades of intrigue and intrigues, and cunning of old treachery, that is the past that you can fight as a rough embryonic martial artist, people have already arranged it, not only a few generals on the surface, it is for others to see, more of those who are ambushed in the army, Can Hong Chengchou prevent these generals from betraying him?

The officers of the Lu army drew their command knives one after another, slapped them one by one, drove them forward, and quickened their pace to approach the position of the Huaxia army, because their Jingai-1 imitation arquebus could only fire a salvo at a distance of 120 meters, exert its power at a distance of 55 meters, and ensure accurate hits on the assembled enemy at a distance of 33 meters.

In this way they had to endure the artillery fire from the head of the city, the attack of the enemy's six-pounder guns hiding in the trenches, the blows of the three-pounder guns, and the volley of the guns of the Huaxia Army's Jingai-2 arquebus.

Except for a small number of new soldiers, many of these soldiers were veterans who had been trained to fight against the Huaxia Army on the Yangtze River defense line, and they knew that if they did not speed up their pace, they would only be killed by the Huaxia Army.

So without waiting for the officer's order, many veterans accelerated their pace as soon as possible, and in less than ten seconds, they endured two rounds of volley fire from the Huaxia Army's platoon guns, falling nearly 100 people, killing and wounding nearly 3 or 400 troops, and finally rushed to a distance of 120 meters.

So the first salvo of the Lu army sounded, which directly suppressed the firepower of the Huaxia army, so that many Huaxia troops had to dodge and urgently reload, only some unlucky eggs were concentrated by stray bullets and fell in the trench with a scream.

At a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, the Lu army began to learn from the Huaxia army to disperse the formation, bending to advance, a row of soldiers fired a volley, the second row of soldiers continued to advance, and soon rushed to a distance of 100 meters, they began to aim at the trench, and at this time the Huaxia army in the trench began the third salvo, many Lu troops who bent down and charged were killed, and lost nearly 200 people at once, the accuracy of the Huaxia army at this distance has improved a lot, many people are veterans, and they can almost reach 15 percent of the hit rate.

At a distance of 170 meters, their hit rate was only a pitiful 78 percent, and it was really a smoothbore like an arquebus, and the direction of the bullet at this distance from the front-loading gun could not even be accurately predicted by God.

The enemies who were killed were unlucky, and the reason was that the Lu army was too dense.

At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, although this is still the case, it has improved, and at a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, this is very close to the actual effective range.

At a distance of 100 meters, it is already possible to aim, anyway, there are many enemies, and many people can be killed by luck.

There were more than 2,000 people in the second platoon, more than 300 were killed at once, more than 100 were wounded, and the casualties were not small, even the veterans of the Lu army were terrified, but they had to continue to attack, and when they reached a distance of 80 meters, they fired again.

After the first platoon had finished firing, it continued to rush over them, and the third platoon followed behind, occupying a distance of 120 meters after the first platoon of firing to continue to suppress the enemy.

Hong Chengchou looked at the battlefield, still dissatisfied, and said to the herald beside him: "Order the third regiment of the two new army towns to attack, order the green battalion soldiers to attack, and disperse the formation, I need to capture the enemy's last line of defense when it is dark and force the enemy into the city, I can't miss it again today, otherwise let the general soldiers of the two new army towns come to see me." ”

The herald did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went down to convey the order, and soon the third regiment of the two new army towns, under the cover of the re-firing artillery, passed through the battlefield of more than five miles, approached the main position of the Huaxia Army, and in the rear, 10,000 Han army flag troops and 10,000 green battalion troops scattered in formation and ran into the battlefield.

The re-firing Lu artillery made the artillery of the Fifth Brigade of the Huaxia Army on the head of the city unable to provide fire support to the Huaxia Army on the defensive line, and also cut off the transfer and supply of the people from the city gate to the moat.

After that, the 2,000 militiamen who ran out of the city gate also jumped into the communication trenches to support the front line, and the front line was only more than 500 meters away, but the more than 3,000 troops lost nearly 7 or 800 soldiers before they reached the front line trenches and joined the enemy's blockade.

A zigzag trench filled up in an instant, and the entire defense line was covered with tongues of fire from the arquebus of the Golden Change2.

The musketeers of the Lu army, who had already jumped to a distance of 60 meters, were suddenly hit by a huge blow and fell to the ground one after another, and most of the 3,000 soldiers were suppressed at a distance of 80 meters at this time, and many people lay on the ground and did nothing, from a distance of 80 meters to 60 meters, a short 20 meters, became a moat, unable to pass.

Many of the soldiers in the third platoon also fell at a distance of 100 meters, and the 6,000 troops lost more than 5,000 troops and could not advance any further.

By the time the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment rushed up, they had almost lost all their casualties, and many of them could not even escape, perhaps they could escape by luck from a distance of 120 meters, but at a distance of 100 meters, they could not have escaped.

At this time, it is no longer a platoon shooting, but free shooting, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army in the trenches on the opposite side are not chicks, even the militia are soldiers who have been in a hundred battles, there are Qing soldiers, there are Ming soldiers, there are Lu soldiers, there are Mongols, and Manchu soldiers who surrendered and turned positive, the militia of the Huaxia Army is not a random man, a farmer can serve, they are in the era of cold weapons, that is an elite army, veterans who survived in hand-to-hand combat, even young people, It is also those soldiers who came out of the recruit camp with poor quality, and after this battle, they have all grown into regular army soldiers at least the level of a garrison battalion.

This is the tradition of the Chinese army, the cold weapon unit is directly converted to the militia, and the recruits who are not qualified in training also have a way out, go to serve in the militia unit, and those who are qualified enter the garrison company and garrison battalion, and then perform well and enter the garrison regiment, which is already equivalent to the quality of a D-level field brigade.

Some C-level field brigades are basically regular armies that are directly merged with the elite units of the militia units directly merged with the garrison regiments, but now the Huaxia Army has eliminated the D-level and C-level field brigades, and those soldiers have become soldiers of the garrison regiments, stationed in various places, and now they are planning to gradually eliminate the B-level field brigades and replace them with the A-level field brigades.

As a result, the level of these militia units was at least the same as that of the soldiers of the new army town of the Lu army, so joining the battle against them would not be disadvantaged.

The addition of another 6,000 troops made it a little difficult for the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, but it did not change the situation of the battle, but the enemy had too many troops, with 10,000 soldiers of the Han Army flag, risking death to charge, giving the soldiers of the third regiment a chance, they quickly jumped to a distance of 60 meters, constantly causing damage to the Huaxia Army, at this time the artillery of the Huaxia Army also increased the output of firepower, which was able to resist the enemy's attack.

10,000 soldiers of the Green Battalion joined, and they were also firearms troops plus bows and arrows, crossbow troops, and broadsword and spear troops, and the firepower of the Huaxia Army was a little weak at this time.

Seeing this, Geng Quanli had to let the artillery risk being destroyed to go to the city to provide fire support for the first line of defense, although it was not much, but it also caused heavy losses to the green battalion soldiers and Han flag soldiers in the charge, and even collapsed in some places.

Seeing the enemy like this, Geng Quanli directly sent another regiment of field brigade infantry to join the battle group, so there were 9,000 troops on the firing line to open fire on the enemy.

Soon the Lu army had to retreat, losing more than 8,000 soldiers from the new army, 4,000 soldiers from the green battalion, 3,000 banner soldiers from the Han army, and even hundreds of Manchu cavalry.

It was already dark, and Hong Chengchou had to order his troops to retreat five miles and garrison the first line of trench defense of the Huaxia Army, while the other wounded soldiers and broken soldiers were escorted back to the camp.

Hong Chengchou was very angry, it had been more than a week, and it had been a week since the Fifth Field Brigade of the Huaxia Army had really launched the attack, and he had lost the strength of three new army towns, which was more than 42,000 troops, as well as 18,000 green battalion troops, 12,000 Han army banner troops, 4,000 Mongolian cavalry, 2,000 Manchu cavalry, and 1,000 Manchu infantry, a total of 89,000 troops, and almost all the troops he brought this time.

The camp is full of wounded soldiers, and the only ones who can fight are the troops of the two new army towns, and he doesn't want to count those green battalion soldiers and Han army flag soldiers.

At this time, the staff carefully said to him: "Your Majesty, although the two new army towns attacking the 27th Brigade of the Huaxia Army surrounded the county town and caused huge losses to the enemy, they themselves also suffered great losses, 10,000 green battalion soldiers were killed, 8,000 Han army banner soldiers were killed, a total of 9,000 soldiers were killed in the new army town, 2,000 Mongolian cavalry were killed, and more than 100 artillery pieces were destroyed, and they were no longer able to attack. ”

"Report," a family member appeared outside the tent, Hong Chengchou's temples jumped suddenly, his heart sank, and he had a premonition.

The staff glanced at him and said to Jiading: "Speak," Jiading said clearly, and said loudly: "The three new army town troops besieging Weifang Fucheng, 10,000 Mongolian cavalry were counterattacked by the 20th Field Brigade and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Huaxia Army, 10,000 Mongolian cavalry lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, the other troops collapsed and are retreating, and the three new army town troops lost 6,000 soldiers and horses, and they were unable to attack anymore, and they were also retreating. ”

"Urgent," another housekeeper rushed in waving a letter.

The staff didn't wait for him to speak, hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed it, lowered his head to open it, checked it, and then said to Hong Chengchou with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, Ma Deli lost 23,000 troops, as well as the 50,000 young and strong troops he recruited privately, Kong Youxing lost 4,000 soldiers and horses, and retreated to Wenxia County, Ma Degong supported the troops and respected himself, and instead of rescuing, he privately attracted the ...... of his subordinate troops,"

"Bang ——," Hong Chengchou angrily waved the teapot on the table to the ground, the teapot was smashed into eight petals, and the tea splashed on the ground.

The staff looked at him, and Hong Chengchou said angrily: "Nian,"

The staff bowed their heads and continued: "Ma Bao said, the Ninth Field Brigade of the Huaxia Army attacked from behind and surrounded Jining Mansion, and now Jining Mansion is in danger, he can't draw troops to rescue, the First Guards Brigade of the Huaxia Army in front of them is approaching the county seat, he asks His Majesty to send reinforcements, otherwise he can no longer hold on, please make a decision on whether to retreat, or the whole army to rescue Jining Mansion?" ”

"Let Ma Degong die, let Ma Bao retreat, and bring the remaining soldiers and horses back to me, that's more than two new military towns, I can't lose those troops anymore!"

Hong Chengchou almost shouted, roared, red-eyed, and blushed and shouted to the staff.

"Another family member rushed in waving a letter.

The staff didn't wait for him to speak, hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed it, lowered his head to open it, checked it, and then said to Hong Chengchou with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, Ma Deli lost 23,000 troops, as well as the 50,000 young and strong troops he recruited privately, Kong Youxing lost 4,000 soldiers and horses, and retreated to Wenxia County, Ma Degong supported the troops and respected himself, and instead of rescuing, he privately attracted the ...... of his subordinate troops,"

"Bang ——," Hong Chengchou angrily waved the teapot on the table to the ground, the teapot was smashed into eight petals, and the tea splashed on the ground.

The staff looked at him, and Hong Chengchou said angrily: "Nian,"

The staff bowed their heads and continued: "Ma Bao said, the Ninth Field Brigade of the Huaxia Army attacked from behind and surrounded Jining Mansion, and now Jining Mansion is in danger, he can't draw troops to rescue, the First Guards Brigade of the Huaxia Army in front of them is approaching the county seat, he asks His Majesty to send reinforcements, otherwise he can no longer hold on, please make a decision on whether to retreat, or the whole army to rescue Jining Mansion?" ”

"Let Ma Degong die, let Ma Bao retreat, and bring the remaining soldiers and horses back to me, that's more than two new military towns, I can't lose those troops anymore!"

The blow is not just these few things, more things are still waiting for Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou almost shouted, roared, red-eyed, and blushed and shouted to the staff.

"Another family member rushed in waving a letter.

The staff didn't wait for him to speak, hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed it, lowered his head to open it, checked it, and then said to Hong Chengchou with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, horse."

"Bang ——," Hong Chengchou angrily waved the teapot on the table to the ground, the teapot was smashed into eight petals, and the tea splashed on the ground.

The staff looked at him, and Hong Chengchou said angrily: "Nian,"

The staff bowed their heads and continued: "Ma Bao said, the Ninth Field Brigade of the Huaxia Army attacked from behind and surrounded Jining Mansion, and now Jining Mansion is in danger, he can't draw troops to rescue, the First Guards Brigade of the Huaxia Army in front of them is approaching the county seat, he asks His Majesty to send reinforcements, otherwise he can no longer hold on, please make a decision on whether to retreat, or the whole army to rescue Jining Mansion?" ”

Hong Chengchou almost shouted, roared, red-eyed, and blushed and shouted to the staff.
