In the previous shelling, the general situation of the Ming army's killings and wounds of the Qing army had been summarized in front of Hong Chengchou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The relatively large casualties suffered by ricochet shots were the front and left battalions of the Qing army's left, center, and right towns on the left flank and the frontal battlefield, with a total of six battalion heads. Each cannon penetrated into a flesh alley, and although the damage caused was not too big compared to the overall soldiers of each battalion, the ability of these green battalion soldiers to endure casualties was not high, especially the tragic situation caused by that cannon, which was really unbearable for the soldiers, so that these six battalion leaders were basically difficult to use as the main force in hand-to-hand combat.

However, the Jingbiaohou Town, which unfolds along Jinsha Creek, is not hard enough in the area, and the effect of ricochet shooting is very poor. In particular, the left battalion, which was closest to Jinshaxi, basically none of the shells hitting them could form a ricochet effect, and the casualties were far lower than those of the battalions.

With the help of the cavalry raid of the brigade, the Ming army, which lacked cavalry, was forced to withdraw its artillery, although during this period, the cavalry on the left flank of the Qing army also paid a certain degree of casualties under the blows of fire guns and infantry bows, but its tactical purpose was achieved - the Qing army used this time to withdraw several battalions that had been badly damaged to the rear to regroup, and at the same time replace the follow-up battalion heads. Reflected in the left flank and the central army, the rear and right six battalions replaced the front and left six battalions, while the rear town of Jingbiao on the river beach was only replaced by a rear battalion, and the left battalion, which was less damaged, continued to be on the front.

Such a result was not expected by Hong Chengchou in advance, not only Hong Chengchou, no one in the Qing army thought that such a situation would occur, the same artillery, they thought that only flat fire could achieve a series of kills, they only found out at this moment, it turned out that this artillery could still be used like this.

"The previous dynasty organized and trained the Guanning army, in a vain attempt to defeat our Qing Dynasty on the battlefield with firearms, which is really a fool's dream. It has been proven many times before that the thieves are no longer the opponents of Wang Shi in hand-to-hand combat. Xia Guan thought that there was no need to worry about the old man. ”

Hu Quancai's voice is not loud, which can not only let Hong Chengchou hear clearly, but also not reach the ears of too many people, and what he heard here is only Hong Chengchou, Zhang Dayuan, Wang 1 Fuchen and a few people closest to Hong Chengchou. However, after hearing this, everyone's original worries disappeared - as he said, after all, the battle has entered this stage, and it is impossible for the Ming army to use artillery anymore, and without the ricochet shooting method against the Qing army's formation, it has entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, and naturally there is no need to be afraid of anything.

However, Hu Quancai's persuasion did not receive a response from Hong Chengchou. Hu Quancai said, he can naturally understand that the Guanning Army's car and artillery battalion cost a lot of money back then, and it has even become a cause for officials in the Ming court to increase their income. But in the end, it was completely useless, and once the Qing army was close to the front, these firearms were useless.

This is what Hong Chengchou saw with his own eyes, and the Jesuit monk James had also mentioned before that although the firearms on the battlefield of Taixi were more advanced than those of the Ming and Qing armies on the Chinese battlefield today, they still relied on hand-to-hand combat to decide the victory. It is precisely for this reason that when he helped Hong Chengchou compile the strongest green battalion in history, he chose the Spanish phalanx, which is more effective in hand-to-hand combat, rather than the improved versions that are now rampant on the European continent.

"As Mr. Daotai said, Mr. Jingliu does not need to worry too much, half of the thieves are still emphasizing the outdated idea of soldiers and nobles, and they are placed in narrow terrain such as mountains and forests or useful places, but they are in battle in formation, and they are by no means the opponents of the official army."

James's pride in the current Western tactical system, Hong Chengchou has been taught for half a year. However, if you think about it carefully, the previous drills in Nanchang and the battle on the bank of Yulang River all proved that what he said was true. In fact, what he was worried about was not this, but another key to determining the outcome of the victory, and Hong Chengchou had vaguely seen Chen Wen's general intentions.

"Pass the order, break the current thieves, Leh in eastern Zhejiang, and slaughter them!"

Slaughtering the city, this is the only way for the Qing army to boost morale, simple and practical. All the civilian and military generals present were shocked, but the Jesuit monk's face was a little unnatural - it was not a spiritual purity, and the European armies of this era were also rotten in terms of military discipline, especially the kind of mercenary he was born in. It's just that compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially with the Han Chinese-born old man in front of him, this barbarism actually made him, a former mercenary, feel a little uncomfortable.

However, once this order was issued, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted wherever it was reached, and the momentum of the offensive became more violent.

After receiving this order, the rear battalion, which had replaced the battalion in front of the town in front of the Jingbiao, was the same as the other battalions, and the attack of the Qing army, which had begun to suppress the Ming army in hand-to-hand combat, became even more crazy. Not only the spearmen, but also the bird-gunners who fought the spears and rats in the forest were more courageous.

"Attack! Defeating the Nantang battalion on the opposite side, our Zhongzhen rear battalion is the first merit of this battle! ”

Zhao Liangdong, a guerrilla in the rear camp of Jingbiao Qianzhen, waved the sword in his hand and burst out with an amazing shout.

At this moment, he is not the first-class general, the brave general, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and one of the four generals of Hexi in the early Qing Dynasty. However, the anti-Qing uprising in the northwest has largely subsided today, and it is really difficult to be promoted again, far from being able to fight to the death with the Ming army in Zhejiang, which has become a great disaster of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Fame and wealth, in one fell swoop!

………………

In the queue of the Nantang battalion opposite the rear camp of Jingbiaoqian Town, how many Qing soldiers have been stabbed to death, Liao Yiran can't count them. After repeated assassinations, the two arms seemed to be filled with lead, and they became heavier and heavier, so that the stab just now was directly dodged by the current tall Qing army.

The dense formation, the space for flashing and maneuvering is small and small, and the battle has been going on for a long time, and he can't avoid being cut out by the spearmen and firecrackers of the Qing army. In fact, if it weren't for the diligent practice of martial arts for many years, the body's reaction speed was far faster than ordinary people, I am afraid that I would have fallen to the ground a long time ago, and it was definitely not as full of minor injuries as it is now, but it was not enough to be fatal.

However, as the exhaustion of the body increased, the reaction speed of moving the body to avoid the deadly attack began to gradually become less than usual. But at this moment, behind the Qing army who had just been stabbed to death by him, with the wolf-like eyes of the newly replenished Qing army, a spear was aimed at him and stabbed over!

………………

It has been a long time since they entered hand-to-hand combat, and the Ming and Qing armies opened flesh mills on the battlefield, constantly stabbing living people to death, and squeezing out more blood under the trampling of a pair of big feet.

At the beginning, the land was still hungry and thirsty to absorb these feeds, but the battle has continued until now, where the two armies clashed, from Jinsha Creek to the mountains and forests, from east to west, a straight line several meters wide, the blood flowing to the ground could no longer penetrate into the ground like before, but converged into a stream of blood like a stream flowing into the sea, flowing towards a lower area.

Every time you step on the ground, every time you fall to the ground, and even every time you exert yourself, the blood on the ground will splash one after another, and then fall back into a pool of blood. Of course, more will seep into the shoes and pants of the soldiers, and these soldiers will soon contribute more blood.

"This is the strong soldier of the Ganshan Green Battalion, the Shaanxi Qin Army of that year, and the border army group with the strongest combat effectiveness from Hongwu to Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty."

The combat quality and endurance of these Qing troops in the standard battalion are far better than those green battalion soldiers that Chen Wen has fought before, whether it is Tian Xiong, Ma Degong, the old subordinates of Huang Degong led by them, or other green battalions, they are completely incomparable with them, and even today, they use a new method of warfare, and even the two generations of Hangzhou garrison Eight Banners that he has defeated before are much inferior!

At this moment, the two armies have entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat for a long time, and the Jingluo Standard Battalion, which is mainly organized by the Ganxi Green Battalion, has always been slightly inferior to the Ming army in hand-to-hand combat, and has even gradually begun to regain the difference in casualties in the previous artillery bombardment.

The combat effectiveness of the Ganshan Green Battalion, coupled with the Spanish phalanx, coupled with the temptation of slaughtering the city, doubled the combat effectiveness of the Qing army.

Chen Wen believes that Hong Chengchou has probably seen that the reason why he will brazenly come to the decisive battle with him is nothing more than that the Ming army has a stronger tolerance for casualties, so he will try to give the Qing army more casualties in the use of artillery, so as to get through this embarrassing period of the Ming army faster, so as to hold out until the moment when the Qing army can no longer bear the casualties and collapses.

Under normal circumstances, it should indeed be so, and this is also the best choice for the Ming army when it is unable to achieve a breakthrough in the face of the Qing army's formation. Support it until the Qing army, a feudal army, collapses on its own, just like the previous battle in Yulangxi. Therefore, Hong Chengchou will temporarily dispatch cavalry to replace the phalanx that entered hand-to-hand combat.

Strength is another major advantage of Hong Chengchou, so he will rest assured and boldly consume with Chen Wen, because he firmly believes that the Ming army will not be able to break through the Spanish phalanx, and this is where Chen Wen's breakthrough point is!

The right hand was raised, and with a wave of the front, the two teams of Ming troops in the guards, one with more than 200 people, and the other with only more than 100 people, all wearing the kind of heavy armor custom-made by Zheng Chenggong, holding their respective weapons, walked towards the position of the two bureaus composed of mandarin duck formations between the Nantang battalion and the Shentang battalion on the right flank.

These warriors in iron armor could not recognize who among them was who, because in addition to wearing a full set of iron armor, they were wearing iron masks painted with demon patterns, and only those cold gazes shot out of the eyes of the ghost face, which showed a little difference, but it was also more daunting.

When the two Iron Mask men arrived at the formation, they immediately divided into two groups and matched with the other army. From a group of more than 200 people, a team of more than 100 people, to each of 150 or 60 people, after regrouping, these two troops rushed into the mandarin duck formation converted into a vertical formation, one south and one north, respectively facing the phalanx of the rear and right battalions at the forefront of Jingbiaozhong Town.

Jingbiaozhong Town is the strongest in the southeast Jingbiao camp, and the later Jingwei Marquis Daniel Zhang has long since grown into a famous general of the first green battalion in the early Qing Dynasty, and the difference is only the merit he received from the Southwest Ming Army and Wu Sangui.

This is the most difficult part of the Qing army, as long as it is defeated, the other Qing troops will inevitably be affected. And before the engagement, Chen Wen deliberately used a flintlock pistol to fire an extra volley, for now!

The spear pierced just now, Liao resolutely expected that he would die, but the Qing army with wolf-like eyes was stabbed into the eye socket by his comrade on the left hand side first, and died with a shot in the brain. And the spear of the Qing army, after losing the follow-up power supply of its master, also exhausted its ability after breaking a piece of armor leaf on Liao Yiran's body, and it was just a gap.

The position where he is is is at the seam with the right wing mandarin duck formation, so the pressure is always not small. And at this moment, those mandarin duck formations actually changed from the defensive formation's junior talent formation to a vertical formation, and a group of strong men in iron armor rushed over. Liao, who was moved to the back because he was shot, resolutely watched all this, and when he saw the next move of those iron-masked people, the whole person was stunned.

The nearest man in the iron mask that Liao Yiran saw was a veteran named Lu Yihao, who rushed to a position that was only ten steps away from the front of the formation, and he could even clearly see the Qing army seeing the sudden change of formation of the Ming army, thinking that the Ming army was about to collapse and was ecstatic.

At this time, like a dozen or so comrades around him who were also from the team of about 200 people, he took out a small durian-sized black ball from the cloth bag straddled his waist with his right hand, and took out a fire fold with his left hand. With a slight blow, the flame rekindled, and then dotted on a slightly thick line protruding from the upper end of the ball.

The flame was dotted on the thick line, and as soon as it landed, it spewed out a spark, and went towards the ball at a slow but not slow speed. The thick line was constantly shortening, and then, I saw Lu Yihao pick up the black ball and throw it towards the phalanx of the Qing army.

The black ball crossed the imperfect parabola on the battlefield with a shouting of killing, and smashed straight into the head of a bird gun in the back row, drawing his waist knife and preparing to squat through the crowd.

This thing is not light, and when he landed, he smashed a gold star in the eye, and the blood flowed. However, before he could react, a huge explosion directly overpowered the shouting and killing sound around him, and a large area of flames erupted, including all the Qing troops within a few meters, and some of the things contained in it were accompanied by sound waves to sweep down a large area of the Qing army around him!
