The right wing of the Qing army in front of the Nantang battalion has completely collapsed, even if Ma Jinbao, as the commander, sends all the reserves in his hands, he can't stop the trend of collapse, only a very small number of officers are still leading the soldiers under their command to make the last resistance in this torrent of rolling westward flight, but under the attack of the Nantang battalion, it is just a mantis arm as a car.

The overall situation of the left flank of the Ming army has been decided, and Lou Jiye did not hesitate to put the reorganized infantry teams that had been reorganized into the battlefield on the right flank, which was close to collapse.

Although the Yiwu battalion has the same bureau composed of veterans as the backbone of the battalion, most of the veterans in the first bureau of the Nantang battalion participated in the battle behind the palace of Siming Mountain. Moreover, the first bureau of the Nantang Battalion was organized at the bureau level at the earliest, and the officers were more proficient in how the mandarin duck killer team and firearms team in each infantry unit cooperated on the battlefield.

In contrast, most of the veterans in the Yiwu battalion were recruited on Tiantai Mountain, with little combat experience, and the biggest advantage compared with the recruits was that they had experienced more than half a year of training, and had fought against the Shaoxing Green Battalion on the way to Jinhua. In terms of cohesion, compared with the recruit team formed by the same townsmen and clans, they are not limited to the internal team, and the gap is greater between the bureaus, sentinels and infantry teams.

On the battlefield, the front line between the Dubiao battalion and the Yiwu battalion was no longer as straight as before, and the two sides fought together with staggered teeth, only restricting each other's attacks with wolf stalks and spears, like two boulders slowly rubbing together, squeezing and falling off some structures that were not strong enough.

However, as the advantages of the strength and equipment of the Dubiao battalion were reflected, the connection between the various Mandarin Duck Array killer teams of the Yiwu Battalion began to be broken, and some of the Mandarin Duck Array killer teams that tried to break the formation by themselves in the previous battle had begun to be pressed up and besieged by the Qing army due to their protruding position after the attack. The other teams could only barely support under the attack and fire of the Qing army, and did not do their best to press up and cooperate with the breakthrough at the first time.

At this moment, the 31st Infantry Brigade of the Second Bureau of the Yiwu Battalion was once again put into the front row of the battlefield after a temporary reorganization with other infantry units damaged in the shelling.

In front of him was the Supervising Battalion, and the soldiers who were added to the team were unfamiliar to others, which not only made Chen Lan, as the captain, feel very unaccustomed, but also the original members of the team and the soldiers who added in felt very uncomfortable.

A moment ago. The current Qing saber and shield bearers were swept down by the wolf warriors of the team, and Chen Lan commanded the team to rush forward, trying to use this Qing army as a breakthrough to break a part of the formation. However, the soldiers who came in were not familiar with the offensive habits of the 31st Infantry Corps, and they did not follow up in time, although they killed the Qing army, but the formation of the Qing army was immediately filled, but Chen Lan and others were besieged by the Qing army because of their risk.

A section forward, the entire Mandarin Duck Array killer team was besieged by the Qing army on three sides. Only behind them there are firearms teams struggling to shoot from the gaps, but for the Qing army in armor, the shooting of the Ming archers often only adds some decorations to their armor, or brings some pain and not too deep wounds, and the actual damage is very limited.

The palladium hand beside him struggled to hold up the waist knife cut off by a Qing saber and shield soldier, and Chen Lan shouted loudly and straightened his spear and stabbed the Qing soldier's abdomen.

The spear was smoothly pierced into the body of the Qing army, although the armor offset a certain amount of strength, but the armor had a very low defense against the spear spurt. Chen Lan's spear still stabbed into the abdomen of the Qing army as he wished.

The head of the spear twisted in the Qing army's body with the force of his arms, and blood splattered out from the wound. The Qing army threw down the sword and shield in his hand with a hideous and painful face, and instead grabbed Chen Lan's flag gun, trying to pull it out of his body. But before he could exert himself, blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, and he fell to the ground as soon as his hands were loosened.

With a gun in hand, on the other side, one of his cousins with a long card and a distant nephew with a long spear also managed to force back several Qing attacks with the cooperation of the archers in the back row.

Take advantage of this gap. Chen Lan hurriedly commanded the soldiers of his team to take a step or two back to reduce the direction of the attack. However, as soon as he entered and exited, one wolf player and two pikemen of the team, as well as the rattan player who added in, were all killed by the Qing army. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't advance an inch, Wu Dengke ordered all the killers of the Mandarin Duck Formation to be transformed into a junior talent formation. The casualties are likely to be even higher.

The formation has been broken, even if Chen Lan and the firefighters play a cameo position, they will not be able to restore the Mandarin Duck Formation to its original state, not to mention that most of the weapons of those who died have fallen in the area that has been occupied by the Qing army, even if they want to replace it temporarily, they can't make the trip.

The shouts of killing were endless, whether it was Chen Lan, or his subordinates, or others on the left, no one knew how long this kind of battle would last, but everyone had no time to think about this, and the Dubiao battalion continued to press forward, trying to squeeze, separate, and then annihilate the Yiwu battalion formation.

The disparity in the number of troops is too large, coupled with the huge disparity in the proportion of armor, even the projectiles of the Qing army sometimes cause some casualties, not to mention bloody hand-to-hand combat. After the Yiwu battalion paid a certain number of casualties, Wu Dengke began to gradually shrink the formation to the side close to the Nantang battalion.

But every step back meant that more soldiers were killed by the Qing army that occupied that area. The Yiwu battalion is gradually melting in the water like ice, and this will not melt little by little like ice to the end, but will collapse instantly when the casualties reach a certain proportion, or when there is something unfavorable on the battlefield.

The situation of the Yiwu battalion became more and more unfavorable, although Wu Dengke waited for the reserves of the bureau in Chen Wen's hands, but when he put them into the front line, he only delayed the time of being defeated, and with the strength of the Yiwu battalion, this trend could not be reversed.

Fortunately, when Wu Dengke and the others came to reinforce the army, they also received the news that the Nantang battalion had successfully smashed the spear formation of the Qing army in front of them. As long as they hold on for a moment, the situation will naturally be reversed with the defeat of the Qing army in front of the Nantang battalion. But at this moment, the cavalry behind the Qing army finally moved, and the target was a blank area of the Yiwu camp away from the direction of the Nantang camp. The intention shown by the Qing army was obvious, that is, it intended to defeat the Yiwu battalion in one fell swoop. and used the rout to disrupt the formation of the Nantang battalion to achieve a turnaround.

A moment later, the cavalry behind the Ming army, led by Chen Wen, also galloped towards this place. It's just that the cavalry of the Qing army is closer to the Yiwu battalion, and with the advantage of being the first to move, there is just a time difference.

When the cavalry of the Qing army rushed closer, they first approached and drew bows from the flank to shoot horses. Immediately afterward, he impacted those broken mandarin duck arrays. The position of the Yiwu battalion under the cavalry attack collapsed instantly, and under the drive of the Qing cavalry, it disrupted the other infantry teams that were still forming a formation to meet the enemy......

A few hours later, Chen Wen led the main force of the Ming army into the Qing army camp outside Xiaoshun Town, preparing to continue the march to recover Jinhuafu City after resting the troops.

The battle of Xiaoshun Town in the afternoon ended in an unbelievable way, and the cavalry of the Qing army, after driving away a period of rout, quickly covered the reshrunken camp of the Governor Battalion, and began to withdraw from the battlefield before Chen Wen's cavalry arrived, leaving only the wounded who could not move and were killed by the Ming army occupying the battlefield.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Nantang battalion was about to collapse due to the Yiwu battalion, and did not send all the troops to continue the pursuit of the Sifu Green Battalion. Instead, part of the army was drawn out to aid the Yiwu battalion. As a result, Ma Jinbao abandoned most of the infantry, quickly broke away from contact with the Nantang battalion, and successfully escaped from the battlefield.

Being in the game, Chen Wen couldn't understand why the Supervisory Battalion would give up the opportunity to fight with the Nantang Battalion so neatly. However, in the eyes of Zhang Guoxun and other Qing army generals, there is no need to continue this battle until now.

In the battle of Zhoushan, the losses of the Governor Battalion were minimal, and the amount of goods captured, plundered and distributed was extremely large, and both officers and soldiers were already resentful about going to Jinhua to wipe Ma Jinbao's ass at this time.

And this time, the green battalion soldiers of Sifu were the first to be defeated by the Ming army. During this period, they had already paid a certain number of casualties in the battle with the Yiwu battalion, and they would soon have to face the Nantang battalion alone. Regardless of the outcome of the decision, there will inevitably be many injuries. Once the Governor Battalion was defeated by the Ming army, it might not just be as simple as Jinhua, a ruined county that was slaughtered a few years ago and then plundered by Ma Jinbao for several years.

Of course, in addition, there are also Chen Jin's worries about the war in Fujian, as well as some views of the generals of the Biao Battalion on Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong.

Since May. Zheng Chenggong entered Zhangzhou, thinking that the local Qing army would soon be able to defeat it, but who knew that Zheng Chenggong not only defeated the local Qing army continuously, but even surrounded the capital city of Zhangzhou, and successfully defeated the troops sent by the Fujian Qing army to relieve the siege.

However, Lu Jianguo of Zhoushan had a high prestige among anti-Qing people in Zhejiang. The threat was also greater, so Chen Jin had to concentrate almost all his mobile forces to besiege Zhoushan first, and then concentrate his troops south to Fujian to solve Zheng Chenggong's problem.

Now Zhangzhou is still under siege, and a great chaos broke out in Jinhua. Although Chen Wen can be regarded as good at using soldiers, after all, the number of troops is limited, and Jinhua is already dilapidated, so it is impossible to improve his strength too much. Behind Zheng Chenggong is the Zheng family in Shijing, Fujian, which monopolized the maritime trade in the Fujian Sea, and had more than 10,000 people when they raised their troops, and their strength doubled after occupying the Zhongzuo Institute last year.

In addition, at the beginning of this year, Zhang Xuesheng, Ma Degong and others ransacked the Zhongzuo Institute, and Zhengjiahaimao's savings for many years were looted, and the profits of the participants were jaw-dropping. When the news came, none of these Qing army generals were envious of this, rather than fighting to the death with Chen Wen, a poor ghost, and exhausting the strength in his hands, it was better to preserve his strength to besiege Zheng Chenggong.

Therefore, the officers at all levels of the supervision battalion from Zhang Guoxun down to Zhang Guoxun have already privately decided that once there is no waiting, they must preserve their strength. When the Qing army on the right flank was attacked by the Ming army as soon as it came into contact with Puyi, and was quickly defeated, they quickly sent cavalry to accelerate the collapse of the Yiwu battalion to cover the withdrawal of the main force.

The battle of Xiaoshun Town ended, the Ming and Qing armies did not achieve the expected results, the losses of both sides were not few, the Qing army came from the green battalion soldiers of the four prefectures, and the Ming army was concentrated in the Yiwu battalion that was attacked by the Dubiao battalion.

At present, although Chen Wen has defeated the encircled Qing army, the strategic goal is far from being achieved, and after completing the rest, he must try to recover more lost territory as soon as possible to feed the army under his command. However, in the next few days, the situation changed, and Chen Wen had to change his plans to deal with other threats. (To be continued.) )
