The artillery of the Qing army can hit the Huaxia army, but some small artillery and heavy medium artillery have to follow the troops, because they are the attacking side, and they have to find a favorable place to arrange the artillery position, or push to the front line of the Huaxia army to fight, the Huaxia army is the defensive side, the artillery does not need to move, the firing distance and coverage area have already been calculated, and they each began to bombard the Qing army.

Twelve-pounder guns bombarded the enemy's artillery in the distance, nine-pounder guns on the enemy's follow-up artillery and cavalry, six-pounder guns on the enemy's Forces nouvelles, and three-pounder guns on the enemy's forward infantry.

The Qing army braved the enemy's artillery fire to advance, suffering heavy casualties along the way, the Chinese army was not good, the enemy's heavy artillery also made the arquebusiers in the front line uncomfortable, casualties increased sharply, 100, 200, 300, 500, 800, 156, the front line was bombed scattered.

Finally, the enemy's infantry approached one hundred and fifty meters, and the various general flags of the Huaxia army began to shoot scatteredly, and the infantry running in front of the Qing army fell to the ground one after another, and then the green battalion and the people who had been eliminated before, and the dead and wounded soldiers began to line up in the place where the young and strong died, and they collapsed before they could rush past one hundred and twenty meters, and they turned around and fled.

With the example of the green battalion and the people in front of them, the young and strong, they have long been frightened and scattered, they were advancing hard-headed before, some small casualties can be tolerated, the artillery because it is now all solid bullets, there is always a place that cannot be taken care of, and now the enemy's musket fires, the soldiers on the front line immediately collapse, because few people can really realize the original intention, and they can't get close to the queue of the Huaxia army at all.

The front line collapsed, the middle was chaotic, and it can be said that Aobai's cannon fodder cover plan has gone bankrupt.

Ao Bai continued to approach to a distance of 1,200 meters, and at this time, the naked eye could vaguely see the front of the battlefield, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry on the left and right to ignore the assault.

The Han army banner and the cavalry of the green battalion, which were still 300 meters behind, urged their horses to gallop, and they knew that they could only survive if they rushed into the ranks of the enemy, otherwise, even if they fled back, they would be slaughtered by the cavalry of the Qing army.

Rush, rush, only by rushing into the ranks of the damned remnants of the Ming Dynasty, causing chaos to the enemy, and winning this battle, they will be able to survive.

It's time to serve the court, it's time to fight, glory and wealth, promotion and wealth, and glory to the ancestors is what they consider.

The cavalry knocked away their compatriots who fled to both sides, trampled them to the ground, and then stepped on them again, and finally trampled the smart Han people who tried to flee to both sides, trampled into meat paste, helped the Han army flag of the Chinese army to stabilize the formation, so that the Han army flag in the middle completed the task, and also made the Qing army achieve certain results when attacking the Huaxia army, and successfully brought the troops out of the original green camp and people. The tragic hell of the young man's death.

The New Army soldiers, who had followed them, stepped into the place where the corpses were piled up, and the blood was flowing and the land was stained red swamps.

The Mongol cavalry on the other side was also desperately beating horses and advancing, rushing to the side of the artillery position of the Huaxia army.

At this time, the front of the Huaxia Army was still ravaged by enemy artillery fire, and the ranks were maintained by officers.

Just like what Zhang Qiang saw on the Internet in later generations, the heroic British Empire's red-skinned bear hat musketeers, in the fierce drumbeat, gritted their teeth to restore the formation to ensure the continuity of the fire output of the first row of the front.

And the two wings, the rear, pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, archers quickly advanced, in the front line ready to resist the enemy's cavalry onslaught, to prevent the enemy's infantry rushing in and ravaging their own side of the arquebusier, although the Chinese arquebusiers are powerful, but in terms of weapons, arquebuses are not as lethal as the enemy infantry who are accustomed to broadswords, spears, swords, and shields, and still need the protection of cold weapon troops.

One hundred meters, the enemy's cavalry had already rushed to a distance of one hundred meters, the Huaxia army immediately bombarded this group of cavalry with artillery, the six-pounder cannon changed the bombardment target, and the loading of scattered shells caused pieces of damage to the enemy's cavalry, helping the arquebusiers to weaken the enemy's attacking strength.

This time, Ao Bai invested a lot of troops, the remnants of the green battalion who returned, the soldiers of the Han army flag, the remaining people and young people, a total of 15,000 troops, the new army firearms troops, 12,000 troops, in addition to 8,000 arquebuses, there are also 2,000 artillery, 1,000 cavalry, plus the auxiliary forces sent up, and 4,000 troops of infantry cold weapons hand-to-hand combat troops.

The sum of the two units of the Huaxia Army is not as large as the number of troops invested by the enemy this time.

In fact, Zhang Qiang and Xiao Fei both knew that in fact, the Chinese army of the Huaxia Army was the weakness, because the left and right flanks were the super units of Merlin Yu and Zhu Ge's field brigades, and in the middle were just dismounted dragoons plus some reinforced trained musketeers, and the total strength in the middle was only 6,000 troops.

The musketeers on both wings are 6,000 musketeers plus 3,000 artillery brigades, 9,000 troops, a total of 18,000 troops, and the rear is a cold weapon unit composed of militia, 3,000 infantry, more cavalry troops, 10,000 dragoons and chasseurs, lancers, forming the second layer of the Huaxia Army troops, and behind this, the Chinese army is Xiao Fei's 1,000 personal guard troops.

Finally, there was the militia of the baggage troops, with a large number of troops, 10,000 men, and some organized young men and people, who were far away from the battlefield, four or five miles.

There are three large battalions in the rear, Xiao Fei's large battalion of the Chinese army, which is almost the sum of the baggage troops, 2,000 musketeers, 2,000 militiamen, 500 cavalry, Merlinyu's left wing battalion, 3,000 militia troops, 50 cavalry, Zhu Ge's battalion on the right flank, 2,000 militia troops, plus 500 scout cavalry, and 50 lancer troops.

The cavalry of the Han army banner and the green battalion desperately assaulted, but the artillery and arquebuses of the Huaxia army could not keep up with the enemy's fire, because the enemy was moving too fast.

Seeing that his cavalry had rushed to a distance of eighty meters, Ao Bai showed a knowing smile, proud in his heart, in front of the cavalry of the Qing army, the Huaxia army also showed the shortcomings of insufficient firepower, he had already studied these firearms, maybe in terms of morale and discipline, these firearms troops of the Huaxia army were higher than the Shenji battalion troops of the Ming army, they could play a coherent firepower, and they could insist on hitting the opponent with firearms, but if the cavalry of the impact was resolute and decisive, they might need to pay a heavy price, but once the cavalry could rush in, then the enemy could only fight hand-to-hand, hand-to-hand combat, who was the Qing army afraid of?

The killer weapon of the Qing army is the cannon fodder Han troops, as well as the ferocity, bravery, and decisiveness of their own hand-to-hand combat, which is not something that the Ming army can contend with, so that the Huaxia army loses the distance advantage, he has long known this method, and he is just experimenting with it today.

With the Han people and the bannermen who are not their own banners, not on their own side, the Manchu forces of the Shunzhi Emperor, and the Manchu experiments with Dolgon's descendants, anyway, if they die, they will be scolded at most, and if they win, Dolgon will not help themselves.

Zhang Qiang looked at the battlefield through the eyes of a war eagle, and he sensed that the enemy's cavalry might rush into the artillery and arquebus queues on both flanks.

This may be due to the terrain, the terrain is hilly, the water and grass are also very lush, some potholes and puddles, will naturally divide the Huaxia army's tight formation, so that the Huaxia army has a firepower gap, and the enemy's cavalry is fundamentally immune to these small puddles, speed plus desperate counterattack, the Huaxia army may suffer the biggest loss in these years.
