The wall charge of the elderly guards ran over like a steamroller, leaving behind only the corpses of the Qing army and the war horses licking and pulling the corpses of their masters.

This scene shocked not only the Qing cavalry who entered the battle, Ao Bai in the rear and the Mongolian cavalry under his command, and even Doni in the distance, and even Liu Cheng, all of whom watched all this in amazement.

Such a shock made these Manchu high-level officials even more frightened than the shooting in the queue that happened not long ago, because compared to the infantry battle with the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, they originally had greater confidence in cavalry warfare. But at this point, he has lost even worse than just now, and he has no ability to parry.

Through the telescope, all this is under Liu Cheng's eyes. The strength of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang was something he had been psychologically prepared for, and the most important reason why he could have his current status in the Qing court was that this strength made the Manchu court feel great fear.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Wen had been preparing for three years, and this army had become so strong that it was now at this point - the new army was training the Gustav phalanx that was rampant across the European continent, which was the most powerful tactic today, but against Chen Wen's new tactics, it was like a powerless boy being knocked off by a wild horse, and he didn't even have half a room to react.

As far as the eye could see, the cavalry of the Wuwei Right Army was overwhelmed and crushed by the elderly guards division like a barren grass. The figure of Suppilon has long since disappeared, and Shuai Qi has long been submerged in the riding wall. Behind the cavalry of the right army of Wuwei, the Mongolian cavalry led by Ao Bai followed, but from here, the more loose and disorderly formation, I am afraid that the end will not be much better.

"It turns out that Chen Wen chose to break through on the left flank, not afraid that his young guard division without spearmen would be restrained by the superior cavalry of the imperial court, and this is the case."

The Young Guards Division did not have a spearman formation, and it was particularly disadvantageous in the face of the superior cavalry of the Qing army. However, the attack power of this army is really strong, and it can defeat the right army of Wuwei with just one face, so as to occupy the initiative. When the cavalry of the Qing army was dispatched, its formation was only one or two places away from the canal, and the cavalry wall of another guard division could play more perfectly in such a strip area, and the cavalry of the Qing army did not even have room to escape in the gap between the canal and the phalanx.

At this point, Liu Cheng completely understood Chen Wen's arrangement, and his heart was cold. He used the strength of one person, supplemented by those battle-hardened generals of the Qing court, but after all, he couldn't calculate the staff department built by Chen Wen. Especially in Yu, Chen Wen's two newly sharpened spears were too sharp, so sharp that the Qing army could not even resist it slightly.

The Qing army collapsed, and Liu Cheng did not think about it. However, the collapsed Wuwei Right Army was created by him, and it has always been regarded by him as the capital to obtain greater power in the future. After this battle, the infantry of the Wuwei Right Army suffered too many losses, and the cavalry was facing the possibility of total annihilation, which would mean that his foundation was about to be destroyed!

A moment later, the vanguard of the Mongol cavalry of Aobai was drowned by the old guard division, and with the martial courage that Aobai had always led the charge, he probably followed in the footsteps of Curb Bilong. The cavalry, which had not yet engaged, began to turn their horses and flee, and they were already defeated. Even Doni's Gong Guards did not advance according to the order, but deployed the phalanx of infantry behind the flank of the Wuwei Central Army, obviously fearing that this cavalry would take advantage of the situation to engulf them or the Chinese army, clearly putting on a defensive posture against cavalry raids.

The Manchurian tribes lived by fishing, hunting, and farming, while the Mongol tribes practiced nomadic herding, and they had a better survival advantage over the Han Chinese, who were agricultural, and rode horses. At this moment, the cavalry composed of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, supplemented by the warriors of various departments of Southern Mongolia, is even more numerous than this Northern Expeditionary Army.

Liu Cheng looked at all this dumbfounded, the situation around him was no longer difficult to capture, but at this moment, on the high platform, whether it was the eunuch or the inner guard, they were all shocked by the means he had just shown, and they didn't dare to make any moves. And Shunzhi and his people, in the midst of such shock and shock of the change in the battle situation in the distance, no longer have the courage to break out.

"Your Majesty, Lord Nala and Lord Guerjia must have lost their business with the king. Now there is only one chance for the imperial court to win, that is, the Chinese army manages to hold out until the Praetorian Guard breaks through the Zhejiang bandits in front of them and rolls back into their battle formation. Now it is time to go all out, but the reserves have been dispatched, and it is not enough to rely on Prince Yu and King Ke Xijun alone. The slave asked for orders to temporarily take over the remnants of the right army of Wuwei and assist in guarding the flank of Prince Yu. ”

After that, Liu Chengbai fell to the ground, completely looking like he was going to fight to the death for the Manchu Dynasty. However, hearing this, Shunzhi's complexion changed several times, until Liu Cheng raised his head, his wolf-like gaze swept over, and he swallowed his saliva before answering.

"Then there's a lot of work."

"Emperor Xie trusts, and the slave is inscribed." Bang banged on the high platform a few times, Liu Cheng said: "Then please ask the emperor to give the sword to the minions, and the minions can also use this to deter the remnants of the army." ”

"It's still thoughtful, and I'm right."

After taking the sword, Liu Cheng saluted, and then took the Gosh Hazer horse under the high platform to the small Zhuangzi who had just gathered the rout in the distance behind the right-wing battlefield, and walked away. Only Shunji was left on the dragon chair and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the fear had been shaken off.

"Your Majesty, forehead, no, Liu Cheng's Han dog is afraid that he is going to run."

The eunuch trembled and said what he thought, but unexpectedly, Shunzhi's backhand was a slap in the face, and he directly slapped it on the high platform.

"Do you think I don't know? But that guy's means, with you bunch of waste, can keep me at bay! ”

Shunzhi said viciously, and then hid his face and cried. When he was bullied by Dolgon, he also hid in the bed and cried, lest he be heard. Today, it has been nearly ten years since he was in power, but in front of Liu Cheng, a Han man, he still reprimanded and ordered him as he did back then, where is the majesty of the emperor. However, compared to Dolgon's monstrous power, the aura that Liu Cheng had just burst out and the deterrent power of pure personal martial arts were indeed too terrifying, so much so that Shunzhi even regretted that he couldn't get rid of this scourge earlier.

"Whatever he wants, he can do it. The remnants of a Wuwei Right Army, there are only three or four thousand defeated soldiers left, and they will not play a role in such a battle situation. When the Praetorian Guards defeat the Zhejiang bandits, even if it is just a crushing victory, I will have time to turn around and destroy this rebellious thief! ”

encountered a sudden change, but Shunzhi's thinking was not completely confused. In other words, there was no problem with Liu Cheng's rhetoric, and for him, it was the only possibility and hope to defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army. As for Liu Chengqi, in the past, he could endure Dolgon for so many years, and wait for Dolgon's death to take revenge, such a slave who bullied the master, but in terms of a moment and a half of effort, he was naturally not in a hurry at this time.

Shunzhi looked through the binoculars, and it seemed that Chen Wen's two guard divisions had begun to change their formations after solving the opponents in front of them, and it seemed that they were preparing to attack the Qing army's Chinese army as Liu Cheng expected, and did not show the slightest interest in the remnants of the Wuwei Right Army farther away behind the Qing army's left flank.

At this moment, the right flank of the Qing army has been completely finished, and the Gongwei Army has built the defense line of the Chinese army together with the Wuwei Central Army and the Wuwei Left Army. All Shunzhi could count on was that these three new armies would cooperate with each other, relying on the complete formation of cavalry, spearmen and musketeers, and taking advantage of Gustav's phalanx to resist the flanking attack of the middle army and the left flank of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

However, the Northern Expeditionary Army held on first, and the hope of success was very slim. But Shunzhi also knows that at this time when Chen Wen took Shanhaiguan and blocked the Liaoxi Corridor, defeat means the extinction of all countries, and he can only pin his hopes on this.

It's a pity that Shunzhi's attention has just been cast on the left flank of the Qing army, which has launched a full-scale attack on the Northern Expeditionary Army in front of him, and the Wuwei Central Army, which is closest to the Young Guards Division, began to fall apart under the baptism of artillery fire.

The battlefield on the right flank of the Qing army has long been occupied by Chen Wenxin's formation of these two guard divisions at this moment. The Wuwei Right Army had collapsed earlier, and the cavalry of Kupilon and Aobai had been crushed, and most of them, except for a few who had fled, had become dead bodies on the fringes, and no one heeded the wails of pain.

After relieving the large-scale attack of the Qing army, the Young Guards Division began to readjust its formation, extending in the direction of the Gongwei Army, and continuing to advance in the direction of the Qing Army's central army, the Wuwei Central Army, which was close to the Wuwei Right Army.

The Young Guards Division advanced slowly, stepping on the northern land with uniform steps, and the resonance aroused became more and more heavy in the hearts of the Wuwei Zhongjun and the Gongwei Army. Compared to the two, the Gong Guards are fine, but they are facing the enemy in one direction, and they are facing the enemy head-on. The Wuwei Right Army collapsed, and an attempt to slow down the attack by using the superiority of cavalry to harass was also a failure. In this way, facing the flanking attacks from two directions at the same time, the pressure on the Wuwei Central Army rose sharply.

The Eight Banners of Goryeo, which had been forced to turn to defense in the Fifth Town, were engulfed in the bloody storm of the right-wing battlefield, and as the Young Guards Division advanced, their physical autonomy was becoming more and more dominated by fear.

However, this time, the Young Guards Division did not follow the tactics just now, but stopped when it advanced to fifty or sixty paces, and in the confrontation with the Fifth Town, it launched a gate and the artillery that had not been shown by the Young Guards Division from the beginning of the battle.

The caliber of the artillery of the Young Guards Division was similar to the three-pounder guns of the Qing army, and they were all small-caliber field guns. There were quite a few of them, but they were less than twenty meters away, and two salvos were aimed at them, and then they launched a surprise attack with their swords, which was barely acceptable for these new troops.

At this distance, the two sides unfolded their firefights, and the range and power of the A-type guns made the Northern Expeditionary Army more advantageous, but it was not decisive.

The cannon pushed forward, and the big shield hand erected a giant shield made of hardwood-wrapped iron sheets and soaked quilts on both sides of each gun, and the crackling sound was incessant, and the gun crew behind it had safer loading and firing conditions.

The artillery crew was busy in an orderly manner, fixing the gun wagon, measuring and aiming, loading gunpowder, compacting, installing leads, and placing shells, all the steps were done in one go, and the members of the artillery crew did their own thing, even under the fire of the Qing army, they did not panic at all.

The reloading was complete, except that the shells were reloaded in a completely different shape from those used in normal times - not a round iron ball, but two small iron balls with an iron chain in between, connecting them into one.

"Chainlink reloaded!"

The loader shouted back, and the gun commander received the signal from the artillery team to flag the gun, and immediately lit the fuse of the artillery.

The torch was pressed, and the fuse burrowed into the cannon as if frightened. In the next second, the cannon sounded, and in the flames and gunsmoke, the two iron balls pulled the iron chain straight under the action of centrifugal force, rotated their bodies, and let out a scream by tearing the air, and rushed into the crowd of the Wuwei Zhongjun in a slight arc.

The first chain bullet flew by, and the new army at the front only felt that the helmet was pulled backwards, and in the blink of an eye, the helmet had disappeared without a trace, and even the iron rod that stood up straight was cut off at the waist.

Just as he couldn't see his ears, the New Army couldn't see the helmet on the helmet either, but when he looked back, the New Army subconsciously turned around, and even the horror and bloodshed that he had never had in the nightmare were presented in front of his eyes.

The shattered fragments of the helmet plunged into the head of the fellow countryman behind him, whose eyes widened but were unresponsive; Backwards, the forehead above and below the forehead had been split in half, and the brains were sprinkled and splashed on the next new army without a head; Sweeping through four positions in a row, the rotation of the chain bullet did not stop, and the chest, lower abdomen, and the thigh base of the left leg did not stop until the kneecap of a new army was shattered, leaving nothing but a mess all over the ground.

A straight line of stumps and flesh, blood all over the period, the first few new troops did not even make the slightest movement and had already lost signs of life, but the pain they endured was not lost at all in the bodies of the last few new soldiers who had broken their legs, and the originally neat queue became as mutilated as those Qing troops who were hit.

The soldier at the head of the platoon means that there is a greater chance of being hit by the opponent's firearm shot. This new army is undoubtedly lucky, the chain bullet swept through, and there were nearly ten people behind him, either killed or wounded, but he only dropped a helmet, such luck, it is estimated that he will win the first prize of more than one million dollars when he buys lottery tickets.

However, at the same time as this luck came, great fear also came, and at the same time as the urine soaked his trouser legs, one chain bomb after another also roared towards the fifth town, and the area behind him turned into an Shura field in just this instant, and there was no human atmosphere at all.

"Ahh

The chain bullet swept through the round, and the survivors who reacted fled in all directions in a frenzy. However, before they could run far, behind the battle formation of the Chinese army of the Northern Expeditionary Army, one artillery gun after another rang out, and the shells were like a storm, and in the pace of the advance of the three divisions of the Chinese army, they accurately bombarded the new army more than 20 meters away from the front row of soldiers, and continued to extend forward.

With the four Ming divisions and Jinhua divisions on the right flank successively entering a defensive state, and the young guards division on the left flank had already defeated the opponent in front of them and was entering a state of pursuit, through the advancing Chinese army, the overall battle line of the Northern Expeditionary Army had formed a diagonal line compared to the beginning of the formation, and there was no longer such a parallel confrontation as before.

At this moment, the chain fire of the young guard division from the right end of the army, the coordination of the infantry artillery under the advance pace of the third division of the Chinese army, only a moment later, the spearmen of the Chinese army launched the final charge at the same time, the Wuwei Chinese army collapsed first, and the rout spread at an unimaginable speed.

After the right flank of the army was attacked by linear tactics and wall charges, the Qing army's central army also completely lost the will to fight under the artillery fire of the Northern Expeditionary Army. In the face of the fleeing of soldiers in batches, the new army, which was called "the main weapon that determines the outcome of the war", which was called "the main weapon that determines the outcome of the war", could no longer support the new army, which had borne too much heavy pressure on the Northern Expeditionary Army.

This kind of lethality, such a small-caliber artillery, in later generations was only a beginner's level. However, in the European continent of the same era, the artillery was still small-caliber artillery, and there was not much difference.

The larger the caliber, the longer the range and the greater the power, this is obvious. However, in terms of the casting technology of this era, the larger the caliber, the weight of the cannon body will increase exponentially, and it is absolutely impossible to keep up with the march, and the artillery that cannot keep up with the march has no need to occupy the limited supply of the field troops. Therefore, Gustav II, the Swedish lion, favored the three-pounder cannon, and one hundred and fifty years later, during the war with the French Empire, the French Empire and the anti-French allies preferred the six-pounder cannon, the nine-pounder cannon, and even the twelve-pounder cannon, which the emperor called "the pretty girl".

For example, granulated gunpowder, fixed charge packs, rifled guns, and mini bullets, such as technologies that can greatly improve weapons as long as they change shape, Chen Wen has done too much. But when it comes to chemistry and more advanced science, it obviously takes a longer time to accumulate. This is really too untouchable for the military-political group of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming Army, which has been born for less than 10 years and has only just begun orderly research in basic science.

In this regard, Chen Wen is not so eager, because for him, there is still more time to achieve it in the future, and even just need to open his head well, and the rest is to watch this road go on. However, the elimination of the Manchu Qing is an urgent matter, because as long as the Manchu Qing is destroyed, the dynasty can be changed, the supreme position can be sitting, and the policy can be better implemented, instead of struggling to survive in the gap between the imperial power and the gentry.

The right flank collapsed first, and the Chinese army did not hold out for long, and the left wing Janissaries, which the Qing army still maintained an offensive, were also inevitably affected, at least in terms of morale.

This new army, which combines the most high-end infantry tactics of the European continent and the last core elite troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the strongest Eight Banners Army in the history of the era, was completely smashed in front of Chen Wen's modern army, and even the Northern Expedition army, which was mixed with elements of a modern army fighting for ideals and beliefs.

The Northern Expeditionary Army began to sweep the entire front, and while Chen Wen gave the order for the whole army to attack, he also led the guards of the Imperial Mansion of the Prison State Qi to go straight to the town where the Shunzhi imperial camp was stationed.

"Capture the thief and capture the king, kill Shunzhi!"

Divide, tear, gather, chase the dead and chase the north. Chen Wen said that in today's war, he didn't need any prisoners in Cangzhou, and he would kill all these Tartars who dared to cause trouble to China, leaving no one behind.

The Northern Expeditionary Army launched the final offensive, and the various divisions were defeated, especially when Fu Shou and others abandoned the infantry with the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry of their headquarters, and the Praetorian Guard was also unable to support itself.

The defeat was like a mountain, the Qing court was gone, and all that remained was to flee from this place of death. On the right flank of the Qing army, which was the first to collapse, the firemen belonging to the two guards divisions had already begun to mend the wounded of the Qing army.

In the passage that had been run over by the old guard division, a Qing army officer with a helmet no longer and a beard covered with blood and mud staggered to his feet. His right arm and left leg had been broken, and he was able to hold himself up with one leg and the saber on his left hand.

"I am Batulu of the Qing Dynasty, a first-class super martial prince, the minister of the guard, and the first warrior of Manchuria. Wait for the Han dog, who dares to fight with me! ”

Ran over by the wall charge of the old guard division, Ao Bai was knocked off his horse, one arm and one leg were trampled off by the war horse behind him, his head also hit a stone, and he was unconscious for a long time before he woke up.

It appeared like a demon, and the few firefighters around him who had just entered the battle all took a few steps back. Seeing this, a captain of the firearms drew his knife in his hand, strode up to Aobai, who was already unstable, and cut his throat with a single sword, and cut off the head with an axe after the body fell to the ground, and then casually threw it to the firemen.

"There's nothing left to clear up."
