Chen Python led the soldiers in a short pursuit, and then retreated, because not far away, on another street, the situation was deteriorating, and he had to send reinforcements.

On another street, the Eight Banners carried by Nikan played much simpler than Kong Youde, and their way of fighting was to run directly into it.

"There is a saying among the Han people that is actually very true, it is called 'the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road'. Now we are separated from those Han people, this street is a narrow road, and now we fight with them, whether we win or lose depends on who is braver. I know you're a little scared of the musket on the other side. The bird guns on the other side are indeed very strong, at least, much stronger than those in the Ming Kingdom. But it's actually people who are stronger on the other side. The soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, as long as we roared twice, they would fire indiscriminately until they had their guns red. They think it will give them courage. Speaking of this, Nikan's face showed a disdainful smile, he looked around at the soldiers around him and said, "Judging from the previous battles, our opponents are not such soft eggs, they dare to shoot you in the nose, and dare to fight our warriors of the Qing Dynasty. That's the best part of the other side. This thing is a bird gun, and it will take a long time to reload the bullet, which is enough for us to rush up. They just order people like that, even if they have a round of shots, how many people can they kill? And then not to watch hand-to-hand combat? Could it be that I, a warrior in Manchuria, are still afraid that I will not be able to fight hand-to-hand with those Han people? ”

"Isn't it just a group of Han dogs, Lao Tzu hacked to death countless Han dogs, who is afraid of hand-to-hand combat with Han dogs?" A bearded white armor shouted.

"They only got the upper hand by sneak attacks and those dastardly tricks. Honestly, with a knife-to-knife cut, I can cut ten Han dogs alone! Another very young flag man shouted.

Nikan shook his head slightly, he thought, those guys on the other side are not so weak, not long ago, he saw with his own eyes on the tower of the south gate how the guys on the other side defeated the Manchurian warriors in hand-to-hand combat. Of course, these guys took advantage of the sneak attack, but ...... Although the craftsmanship of these guys maybe, no, it is definitely not as good as those white armors, but it should be, it should be similar to those bannermen.

Even Nikan didn't want to admit that those guys on the other side would be better able to fight than the Manchurian warriors in hand-to-hand combat. So he didn't stop these people from bragging, anyway, this is also growing his own ambition, isn't it? Could it be that at this time, he can still stand up stupidly and destroy his prestige by himself?

"Good!" Nikan said, "I really don't have a bad breed in Manchuria who is afraid of death!" Rush up together, let them shoot each other, and we'll kill them all! ”

"Kill all the dogs!"

"Kill all the dogs!"

A wolf-like cry rang out.

Nikan waited for these people to shout a few times, and then ordered: "The white armor soldiers and Lao Tzu will rush in front together, and the bannermen will follow behind." Don't be robbed by the Heavenly Blessing Army, that's a real shame! ”

……

In charge of the defense of this street was the deputy company commander Su Mao. In the face of this kind of fighting style on the other side, which doesn't care about it and just crashes head-on, Su Mao actually has no better way, so he can only divide the soldiers into three teams and shoot three rounds with muskets, then throw bombs, and then fight hand-to-hand with bayonets.

Because the Qing army was quite dense, the results of these three rounds of shooting were good, killing dozens of Jianjia, half of whom were the most elite white armor. However, the effect of bombing was far less good than that of Kong Youde's Heavenly Blessing Army. There are many unarmored auxiliaries in Kong Youde's Tianyou army, but on Nikan's side, most of them are bannermen in armor, and there is no armorless coat. "Palm Thunder" is not reliable when it comes to armor-clad targets.

The hand-to-hand combat that followed became difficult. Compared with the average bannerman, the soldiers of the model army have a certain advantage in physical strength, but against the white armor soldiers, this advantage is not obvious. As for defense, the upper body of the Model Soldier was almost impregnable, but the legs, which were not protected by armor, were a noticeable weakness. And in weapons, too, they are out of inferiority. Most of the front rows of the Qing army were swords and shields, but in the back row, there were many bannermen with short spears.

When the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides began, the Qing army had not noticed that the legs of the model army soldiers did not have the weakness of armor at all, and the model army could also rely on the strong half-body plate armor of the upper body to play mutual damage tricks with the Qing army, anyway, unless the sword in the hands of the Qing army happened to pierce the seam or something, the threat to the model army soldier was very limited, and the armor on the Qing army, even if it was a double layer of cotton armor, could not block the direct stab of the bayonet. Coupled with the narrowness of the streets, the numerical advantage of the Qing army could not be exerted, so at the beginning, the soldiers of the model army had a greater advantage in hand-to-hand combat. But after all, the genuine Eight Banners are different from the Heavenly Blessing Army and the like, their will to fight is more tenacious, even if they are at a disadvantage, they are not so easy to collapse. And soon, someone discovered the weakness of the model army: there was no armor on the entire leg!

"The ones in the back row, stab them in the leg with a spear! Stab them in the leg with a spear! Nikan roared as he shielded himself from a bayonet that was stabbing at him.

More than a dozen spears stabbed out of the gap behind Nikan and stabbed straight into the legs of the model soldiers who were fighting hand-to-hand with the Qing army in the front row, and immediately stabbed several soldiers. More spears stabbed at them, and the Model soldiers had to retreat to avoid the spears. The entire front was suddenly in jeopardy.

Fortunately, there is also a squad of reserves in Chen Python's hands, and the people in this squad are mainly from the squad brought by Chen Peng, but the first-class shooters and stabbing experts among them have been transferred, and then some soldiers have been added. They haven't joined the fight yet, they still have bullets in their guns. At this time, Deputy Company Commander Su Mao immediately put this team in. They rushed up from behind, stretched out their guns from behind their comrades in front, fired a volley at the enemy who was close at hand, and immediately put down eight or nine Qing soldiers.

Relying on the cover of this blow, under the command to retreat, the model army quickly retreated and opened a few steps away from the Qing army, crossed the breastwork, and stood behind the breastwork again, and now, leaning against the breastwork, they can cover their fragile legs, and they can continue to insist on fighting the Qing army. However, the whole situation was still very dangerous, the Qing army rushed towards them like crazy, pushing with shields, stabbing with guns, trying to push them back a little more, once the Qing army really forced them back, and crossed the breastwork, the weakness of the model army's lack of protection of the legs was about to be exposed again. And the soldiers of the Model Army were nailed there and did not retreat.

Nikan immediately noticed this problem, so he let his sword and shield retreat a little, and let the bannermen with spears come forward, and the model army's flintlock pistols with bayonets were limited in length, and they were restrained by their chests and could not move forward, so they could take advantage of this weakness and strike them with spears.

The bust armor of the model soldiers is indeed very strong, but their arms are weak, for the flexibility of the arms, and because of the cost, the armor defense of their arms is actually not much different from the ordinary cotton armor. Such a level of defense could not stop the spear from thrusting, so soldiers were constantly stabbed and fell, and then soldiers came up from behind. But after all, the model army has few people, and it is about to be lost.

At this time, Chen Python rushed over with more than 30 soldiers, he had just repelled Kong Youde with people, Chen Python estimated that Kong Youde was afraid that he would not be able to organize a new offensive operation in a short time, so he left more than 10 people to stay behind and rushed over with more than 30 people.

Chen Python looked at the situation, but did not immediately throw these soldiers in, but ordered them to reload the flintlock pistol first. After a while, more than 30 people loaded their bullets, and Chen Python divided them into two teams, and then they took turns to go up, stretching out their flintlock pistols from the gap between the comrades in front of them, and firing a salvo.

Shooting at such a distance, there is no need to think about the problem of aiming at all, it can almost be said that it is a hundred shots, and more than a dozen Qing troops armed with spears in the front row were immediately defeated. Immediately after that, the second team caught up and fired a salvo. The group finished the volley, but instead of retreating, they replaced the group of soldiers who had been in front. At this time, Chen Python had already organized the rest of the people into a group and asked them to quickly reload their bullets.

After the second volley, the Qing army did not rush up immediately, and there seemed to be some confusion. And because of the fog on the battlefield caused by two consecutive shots, Chen Python couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly for a while.

After a while, I heard someone on the Qing army shouting something, before this operation, Chen Python had been trained in Manchurian dialect by assault, and could barely understand some words. However, this shout was extremely urgent, and Chen Python didn't understand what he shouted. But there was a palpable panic and panic in his voice.

With this shout, panicked shouts quickly sounded one after another. Immediately afterward, a group of Qing soldiers swooped down on the breastwork. These Qing soldiers came straight over with red eyes, and they didn't care about any formation or formation at all.

However, at this time, another group of soldiers of the model army completed the loading, and just in time to catch up, they gave the Qing army a salvo. Even so, they still couldn't get the Qing army to give up the attack, and they slammed into the breastwork like moths to the flames. It's just that the model army standing behind the breastwork is not a bad seed, it is still dead there, and behind, there are constantly soldiers who have completed a new round of reloading coming closer, and then stretching the muzzle of the gun forward, almost on the head of the Qing army who is still desperately trying to rush forward, and two rounds in a row, and finally the Qing army began to be unable to resist, they turned around and fled, and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Chen Python led the soldiers to pursue for a while, and then turned around and came back and began to mend the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground but were not dead. Chen Python suddenly found that among the corpses everywhere, there was a very special corpse of a Qing army officer wearing quite high-end chain mail.
