Yes, the Southern Ming army is also desperate, they are not without losses, they have also lost four thousand new troops, many queues have changed from nine rounds, that is, nine lines to six to seven lines, and the Qing army is still not afraid of life and death to rush forward, they still have to shoot desperately.

After all, the Southern Ming Army is not as disciplined as the Huaxia Army, in the face of large casualties, many soldiers' movements have been deformed, some are loaded with more gunpowder, explode, some can not be loaded with bullets and gunpowder, and are scolded by the officers in the back, the more anxious, the more badly pretended, many soldiers were dragged to the back by the supervising team to punch and kick, so the Southern Ming Army lost a line of soldiers in vain, the queue became thinner, only six lines of the middle section of only five elements, no soldiers to replenish it, can only fight the five elements against the enemy.

However, their enemies have been changed from new army soldiers to musketeers, god machine battalions, and enemy archers, infantry, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers, and the enemy is completely desperate.

In the strangulation of artillery and bullets, the enemy finally could not break through the 50-meter death line, and fell one after another at a distance of 110 to 50 meters from the front line of the Southern Ming Army.

Finally, Zhang Qiang saw that Gao Zhixiang's troops were showing signs of collapse, and the 80,000 troops of Mang Gurtai behind him were surging like a tide, directly crushing Gao Zhixiang's rout front team at a distance of 500 meters, and then swept through, it was cavalry.

He turned his attention to Yongfu County, where the Qing army rushed over through ferries and bridges on both sides to attack Yongfu County.

The Southern Ming army defending the bridge resisted for less than half an hour, and then collapsed, after all, they had few troops, they were still people and young people, only more than a hundred soldiers, and a few cavalry.

The Qing army quickly landed on the shore by bridges and ferries, and then rushed to the county town of Yongfu, and some of the Qing troops rushed to Su Zhengqing's rear.

Of course, Su Zhengqing was not unprepared for this situation, 6,000 new troops guarded both sides, 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry guarded the center, and pulled heavy artillery back from the front to bombard the Qing troops sweeping on both sides.

The battle entered the white heat, Gao Zhixiang's Han army flag almost completely collapsed, the new army collapsed, the infantry in front was also beaten stupid, after a few shocks also collapsed, turned around and ran back, but was crushed by the cavalry of the Mang Gurtai faction, the casualties were more than the direct battle with the Southern Ming army, Gao Zhixiang's Chinese army was also disrupted, he almost became the ghost of Mang Gurtai's knife, and he couldn't help but secretly hate, with his remnants of the defeated general finally fled back to Guilin Mansion, and lay down in the hall of the mansion.

And Mang Gurtai was rejoicing in the opportunity Gao Zhixiang had created for himself to attack, and all the 80,000 troops were staked, and more than 10,000 Qing Manchu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry swept away.

They were greeted by two thousand cavalry of the Southern Ming Army on both flanks, and in the middle there was heavy artillery fire and a salvo of arquebuses that increased the speed.

Every time they fired a salvo, the Southern Ming army retreated two meters back, and the cavalry of the Qing army could still break through to a distance of fifty meters at first, and then use bows and arrows to inflict damage on the Southern Ming army, but later they found that this distance was getting bigger, fifty-five meters, fifty-six meters, fifty-seven meters, sixty meters, seventy meters, eighty meters, no longer retreating, this distance.

Some of their archers were still able to inflict damage on the enemy at this distance, but this did not set the victory, they hit the wall, the cannon and the arquebus, making it difficult for them to advance half a step, and the surprise attack on both wings was also blocked by the cavalry of the Southern Ming Army at a distance of 200 meters, and then the cavalry of the Southern Ming Army became less and less, but the enemy's artillery also began to support the two wings, so they found that when they advanced to more than 100 meters, it became more and more difficult to advance.

The enemy sent the reserves in the middle.

The flanks were also full of enemy muskets and scattered guns.

can only count on the Qing army that raided behind.

However, due to the limitations of the terrain, the Qing army that raided each ferry could only transport more than 2,000 Qing troops ashore, and these Qing troops had to attack Yongfu County on the one hand, and outflank Su Zhengqing's troops out of the city on the other hand, the number was too small, and the troops crossing the bridge were soon not as many Qing troops as the bridge deck was narrow, and the troops they came over were not as many as the troops killed by the Southern Ming army.

Su Zhengqing used three field brigades to fight against two Kong Youde's new army, and used one field brigade to defend the enemy's rear, and the field brigade still had two thousand new army musketeers to remain in the Chinese army, and at this time they were also sent to the frontal battle against Mang Gurtai, and the cavalry and infantry around him were exhausted, and most of them were invested in resisting the Qing army on both flanks, and the field brigade in the middle had already lost one, and the remaining two were still able to resist the impact of Mang Gurtai's crazy investment of 80,000 troops with the help of crippled artillery.

Although no one knows that if he can't withstand the attack of the enemy's 80,000 troops, the enemy is too much, and there will always be a time for collapse, his Southern Ming army is also the first time to engage the battle, the first time to fight with the enemy under such a huge disparity in strength, this is in the history of the Ming Dynasty, only the battle between the Dashun army in Zhuxian Town and the Ming Dynasty has such heavy casualties.

Not to mention the Liaodong battlefield, where is it simply a playhouse, the powerful millions of Liaodong soldiers can't beat the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops.

After fighting for so long, thousands of casualties were killed, and a field brigade was destroyed, and the enemy was almost like an endless, unable to finish, more and more fights, the morale of the Southern Ming army at this time quickly fell to the bottom, the accuracy rate dropped rapidly, the enemy was able to rush to a distance of sixty meters to shoot arrows, the casualties of the Southern Ming army were increasing, and in less than an hour, another two thousand casualties were added, not counting the two thousand cavalry that had almost been wiped out.

Su Zhengqing hurriedly transferred the cavalry defending in the rear to block the enemy, and the two wings were also breached by the enemy, and in his hands, there was no reserve, so he had to rush up with his personal guards and block the enemy's cavalry attack with dragoons.

On the rear line, the enemy has begun to climb the city wall, blocking sixty percent of the strength of a field brigade began to retreat, the enemy crossed the river more and more troops, and they were almost unable to withstand it, Su Zhengqing's more than 30,000 troops finally became a lone army surrounded by the enemy five miles outside the city.

It is initially estimated that the enemy's strength across the river has reached 80,000, and about 50,000 are besieging the county seat.

Surrounded by several cavalrymen, Su Zhengqing stood in a clearing that had just been cleared, looking at all this sadly, was he going to die here?

A few hundred remaining new troops and more than a hundred soldiers quickly approached the brigade of men and horses on the central line, abandoning the defenses on this side, and the enemy's cavalry and infantry quickly pressed up, and immediately formed an absolute encirclement of them, and would also interrupt his rendezvous with the part of the broken rear army that was still two miles away from the rear to prevent the enemy from crossing the river and attacking.

If such an end is achieved, he will be a complete failure.

Suddenly, he heard a wave of shouts, and from both sides of the river, many reinforcements in Ming army costumes emerged.

Reinforcements rushed directly from one side to the side of the bridge on the shore, the ferry, and then directly crashed into the Qing troops who crossed the river or crossed the bridge, and a cavalry rushed directly from the rear, cut down the enemy from the bridge, rushed across the bridge, and rushed into the ranks of the Qing army attacking the county town of Vinh Phuc, where to slash and slash.

On the other side, the Qing army was also in chaos, and a cavalry also rushed over the bridge, and this team rushed directly to the Qing army attacking their own rear line.

The two cavalry had arquebuses, and before anyone arrived, they fired a row of muskets first, and the Qing army was suddenly in chaos and panicked.
