Just as the left battalion of the raised standard was reorganized and began to advance towards the main position of the Nantang battalion, the small unit of the right battalion of the raised right battalion followed the mixed army merit also stepped into the icy stream with 300 auxiliary soldiers.

On the other side of the stream is a bamboo forest, but the Ming army was on the side of the main position near the Nantang camp at this time, and did not come. As a result, the Qing army began to change their shoes and socks, and then waded across the water on foot.

When I first stepped into the stream, I only felt a little cold, after all, it was already November, and the deep winter had arrived, even in Zhejiang, I could feel the cold, and the wolf in the north was frozen into a husky in the south The story is as suitable for the last days of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise how could the Qing army, and how dare to fight in two layers of armor, they are not afraid of heat death?

Probably out of the idea of getting rid of the cold and biting stream as soon as possible when they arrived on the opposite bank as soon as possible, or because of the urging of the officers behind them, the Qing troops who stepped into the water did not have the slightest intention of staying for a moment, and hurriedly waded through the water and advanced towards the opposite bank.

Perhaps because of the slow speed of wading, Xu Lei, the commander of the right battalion, immediately asked the officers and soldiers who were still queuing on the shore to wade together. Anyway, although the Ming army already had the intention of moving here at the moment, the bamboo forest gave them cover and also thwarted their attempts to move quickly, one advantage and one disadvantage, that's it.

Soon, the wading Qing army had marched to the deepest part of the stream, and the speed of advance in the knee-strong stream was even slower. It's just that although the Ming army is still advancing at this moment, it is far away from here, and it is enough to shoot arrows, but if you fire in this dense bamboo forest, don't think about the hit rate. Therefore, the Ming army did not rush to attack, but continued to tighten the distance between each other, using space to increase the lethality.

In the stream, the Qing army continued to struggle forward, while the Ming army was gradually approaching the distance. If nothing else, the Ming army should be able to reach the optimal attack distance by the time most of the soldiers of the Qing army carried out the flank attack landed and changed into shoes and socks.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a scream resounded through the crowd of Qing soldiers in the stream.

Immediately afterward, such cries came one after another. Looking closely, one after another Qing troops not only did not land on the shore when they approached the bank of the stream, but lay down in the stream.

Because the stream was not wide, Xu Lei, the commander of the detachment of the right battalion, was ordered to go to the opposite bank quickly, so there were many soldiers in the stream here. However, after these Qing troops who were about to land fell one after another, they also bumped into many Qing troops who were already stepping on smooth stones in the stream and had an unstable footing. For a time, the Qing troops who crossed the stream to fight fell into the stream one after another as if they were dumplings.

Seeing this, several officers who led the team hurriedly instructed the other Qing troops who had not fallen to help the Qing troops who had slipped into the stream, and at the same time they also quickened their pace to catch up with the front. As they approached the shore, they saw fallen subordinates lifting one foot after being picked up by other Qing soldiers, and then pulling out the thistles that had been pierced into the soles of their feet.

Tribulus terrestris?

You don't have to be so yin!

The Qing officer who led the team was angry and immediately ordered all the soldiers to wade into the water to reduce the risk of stepping on thistles, but even so, there were still Qing soldiers who were wading in the water screaming and falling into the stream. It can be seen that the captain of the "toy soldier" really did not put this thing in the stream.

In the stream, the Qing army continued to move forward, but this trouble really slowed down the movement of the Qing army. But the problem is that on the battlefield, time is fleeting, and a slow move is the difference between life and death. Although the Qing army was still squirming forward, the Ming army had already taken advantage of the moment when the Qing army's movement was stagnant to appear at the best firing distance.

Draw, aim, shoot!

The first to enter the best shooting distance was Feng Biao, a member of the sixth squad of the firearms team who ran all the way to the front, this hunter from Siming Mountain, a local hunter from Siming Mountain, except for eating and chirping, often dreaming of being promoted to an official and making a fortune, had almost no shortcomings, which fully met Chen Wen's requirements for firearms soldiers. Even the dream of being promoted and making a fortune is actually not a shortcoming in the eyes of his general, Chen Wen, after all, there is a wise saying that Napoleon, the European god of war, does not want to be a chef, and a tailor is not a driver.

Since entering the Nantang battalion, Feng Biao has dreamed of becoming an officer, but it is a pity that when he joined the army, it was already expanded after the school competition, although the expansion of the firearms team is relatively large, but it is not the turn of a newcomer to serve as an officer.

Although Feng Biao was dissatisfied with the status quo, the atmosphere in the Nantang camp was excellent. Under Chen Wen's military law, the quartermaster did not dare to withhold military salaries, and the boss did not dare to enslave his subordinates, whether in the old camp or on the road, the atmosphere of his comrades was very strong, and it was very normal for officers and soldiers to help each other, which made him feel very comfortable, at least much better than being exploited by those leather merchants.

It's just that from the moment he decided to enlist in the army, he wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, and he still longed to be an officer, and in this Nantang battalion, there is only one way to become an officer first, and that is military merit!

The Nantang battalion's military merit reward is extremely heavy, whether it is beheading, or military merit reward, it is far more than the usual monthly salary, this idea is almost exactly the same as the Qi family army back then. Under such military regulations, almost every officer and soldier is eager for the coming of war.

In the previous Battle of Siming Lake, when the Nantang battalion was announced to stay in the old camp of Dalanshan, Feng Biao was the most angry among almost all the firearms team members. Because he firmly believes that the strength of the Nantang battalion is outstanding, he will be able to win the first merit in this battle, but Wang Yi's decision has made the upcoming military merit disappear, just ask him how not to be angry.

Next, in the first battle of Siming Lake, the Simingshan coalition army was annihilated, and the Nantang battalion turned to cover the evacuation of the people. There was no danger along the way, as long as he was conscientious, the days of being able to do his duty really grinded him enough, until he was about to collapse, the news that the standard battalion caught up seemed to be a drop of nectar into the mouth of him, a war maniac who was about to be bored and thirsty, and he was suddenly so relieved that he couldn't care about the fact that the Qing army's strength far exceeded that of the Nantang battalion.

Two days later, the two sides faced off on this road that the people of Siming Mountain were going south even if they were behind them, and Feng Biao, who was on the flank, was very dissatisfied with not being able to kill the enemy head-on. It's just that when he saw the formation and armor of the Qing army, he was not stupid and immediately discovered the benefits of the flanks.

Next, Chen Wen's performance in shooting the Qing army's sharp soldiers in public, and the well-made bird gun shining in the sun, really blinded his kryptonite eyes. That's not just a bird's gun, it's clearly a pass to be remembered by the Lord from the crowd, and then step into the fast lane of promotion and wealth.

But the problem is that he needs to obey military orders when he is on the flank, but Mr. Yin Qian, who is in charge of the flank command, has never given the order to attack, which really makes him itchy and unbearable.

It was easy to wait for the arrow to fly into the sky, Feng Biao, who was squatting on the ground, immediately stood up, took three steps and made two steps to the stream, and shot an arrow in the left eye of a Qing army who had not yet had time to be prepared, and a backhand arrow hit the right eyebrow of another Qing army, and the next few arrows were all aimed at the front door.

The Qing army will wear two layers of armor, but there is no face armor on the face. At such a close distance, it's stupid to have a face and not shoot.

Just as he was about to continue to expand the results of the war, the Qing army also completed the transfer. With only military uniforms on his body, it is not good to shoot across the river from the Qing army archers in armor. Luckily, the commander knew this and immediately sent the firearms team back to the bamboo forest, where the players protected them and shot them from a distance.

Although the hit rate is much lower, it is safe, and the Qing army is more vulnerable than the Ming shooters hiding in the bamboo forest because of the denser formation.

But just when Feng Biao felt that the Qing army was so passively beaten and how aggrieved he was, the Qing army's general flag actually sounded gold! Although this wave of military exploits ran away like this, looking at the corpses in that place, Feng Biao's pride and joy arose.

Our old Feng is the right person, General Chen is really a genius!

The combat effectiveness of this Nantang battalion is really fierce, and the other side is a battle-hardened standard battalion, and it is so easy to be beaten without temper, if this army develops, it will not sweep the world.

At that time, it will not be as simple as getting promoted and getting rich, and if you can't get it, you can still seal your wife and son.

It's just that this excitement hasn't passed, and after the Qing army shouted out what thieves and their relatives can take for themselves, they actually regained their morale and launched an attack again, and while attacking the main position, the Qing army relied on the advantage of strength to actually divide its troops across the stream, and came from the flank where Feng Biao was.

The intention of the Qing army could not be more obvious, and Yin Qian, who was in charge of the flank command, immediately issued an order to intercept the Qing army. Feng Biao, who had been waiting for this order for a long time, immediately rushed out, just like he was walking through the mountains when hunting, and ran with his bow and arrows to the position that he had already chosen to shoot more easily.

The Qing army was slow in the stream, and the speed and rhythm of the march were further disturbed by the pile of thistles placed in the stream by Feng Biao himself. Just when the first few Qing troops came ashore, Feng Biao had already rushed to the unblocked shooting distance.

Before his feet stopped, Feng Biao raised his hand and was an arrow, ready to fire, this arrow directly hit the face of a Qing saber and shield soldier who had just walked ashore, and the arrow pierced his brain!

Just when Feng Biao was about to raise his hand to shoot the second arrow, he only heard a buzzing sound, and an arrow flew out one step ahead of him through a bamboo arrow, and it was also an arrow that hit the front door. Next, the sound of bows and arrows and birds resounded one after another, like a symphony through the bamboo forest.

Feng Biao knew very well that since Chen Wen took out the reward, this had already entered the mode of competition, and without observing whether others had hit, Feng Biao shot the second arrow......

A moment later, Yin Yue rushed to the front with the two sentinel mandarin duck array killer teams. I saw him draw a knife in his hand, and blurted out with an angry shout.

"Brothers, drive the Tartars down the stream!"

The killer team of the Mandarin Duck Array who had just arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest immediately began to form a formation, but because the Qing army still had a team of archers on the other side of the stream, they had to attack with the third rank, and at this moment, the Qing army was suppressed by the firearms team of the Nantang Battalion, and only more than 100 people completed the shield formation on the shore.

The distance between the two armies was less than ten meters, and Lin Zhongxiao, the long-card player of the 21st Killer Team of Jisen, was standing on the edge of the bamboo forest with a long card in his hand, waiting for the other members of the team to gather in formation.

He was originally a Chinese army pacification soldier, and he was sent to this newly formed Mandarin Duck Array killer team to serve as the captain in this expansion, which is actually more of a special case, because the other several decentralized pacification soldiers were all appointed as captains, and he was the only one who was only appointed as the captain.

Lin Zhongxiao knew very well that the original Chinese army suppressed the troops with a total of ten people, all of whom were directly under the jurisdiction of Chen Wen, the general of the camp. The job of the soldiers on weekdays is to supervise military discipline and enforce military law, and their status is very transcendent. However, there are pros and cons to everything, and the words and deeds of the soldiers were also supervised by Chen Wen throughout the process. So far, he is the only one who has made a mistake in the execution of military law, so it is not surprising that his position is lower than that of other colleagues when he is delegated.

Soon the Ming army was assembled, and the firearms team that crossed the edge of the bamboo forest advanced to the stream, while the Qing army also gathered more soldiers, and the two sides soon collided. Relying on the advantage of the two players in the middle to protect the back row, the Ming army immediately suppressed the Qing army's attempt to expand the shore position to accommodate more follow-up Qing troops while reducing the damage they took on themselves.

But at this moment, the archers of the Qing army on the other side, under the orders of the officers, immediately gave up shooting at the Ming firearms team in the bamboo forest, which was more threatening to them, and instead shot the Ming infantry who were closer to them.

Not only to guard against the shooting of the Qing archers, but also to fight with the Qing infantry in front of him, Lin Zhongxiao felt that he lacked skills. At this time, the infantry of the Qing army also accelerated the pace of the attack.

For a time, the situation of the overstretched Ming army took a sharp turn for the worse!

The strength of the Qing army already has a great advantage, and the same is true of the Qing army on the flank, as the Qing army continues to pour ashore under the whipping of the officers behind them, the two posts of the Nantang battalion have not been armoured and have begun to retreat under the attack of the Qing infantry and archers.

Soon, the two outposts retreated into the bamboo forest, trying to rely on the bamboo forest for defense, and the Qing army also landed on the shore, and lined up in a formation against the attack of the Ming army's firearms team in the limited open space on the shore.

As the Ming army retreated into the bamboo forest, the attack of the Qing army's archers was also greatly limited, although the number of shooters on both sides was almost the same, the Qing army's shooters were trained for a longer time and were more elite, and they had a greater advantage, but due to the disadvantage of the terrain, the Ming army's attack target was completely unblocked, and the Qing army's shooting was likely to be blocked by bamboo.

Such a passive beating will not last long, the Qing army in the moment of completion of the formation in the order of the leading officer, launched a charge towards the bamboo forest, because the Ming army has already retreated into the depths of the bamboo forest, the infantry of the Qing army soon entered the bamboo forest.

"The Tartars have been fooled, brothers, and attack freely as a unit!"

After shouting these words, Yin Yue, who was responsible for the command of the flanks, was full of happiness. When Chen Wen explained "The Art of War", although the use of terrain was far less detailed than that explained in other aspects, the words that later lamented that the mandarin duck array was more suitable for narrow terrain during military training were remembered by him, who had always been quite clever.

The bamboo forest here is not artificially cultivated, but purely wild-grown, and the ground is uneven, not to mention the distribution of bamboo. Although the Qing army that charged in formation had been in formation for a long time and was well-trained, and was not divided too strongly, it was difficult to maintain the formation.

Unlike cavalry, which is a combination of soldiers, infantry is about fighting without battle. The kind of hooligan brawl battle scene like in later TV dramas is almost impossible to appear in real regular army combat, because every military general knows the difference between having a formation and not having a formation, and only a homeless person or a cult who does not understand the art of war will be like this.

Due to the barrier of the stream, there are very few archers of the Qing army who come together, even if the auxiliary forces of the war are still far beyond the flank troops of the Ming army, but the formation no longer exists, and there is a lack of archers, how can it be the opponent of the Mandarin Duck Formation in the narrow terrain blocked by bamboo?

Hearing the order, the Ming infantry in the bamboo forest immediately changed their formation again. The small three-talent formation is an offensive formation in which each team is in the form of two sharp arrows, and in this terrain it can be fought in both a team and a team, which is very flexible.

On the other hand, although the Qing army was still trying its best to maintain the formation, the rocks and bamboos in the bamboo forest still cut the Qing army into an overall formation. The Qing army here has dozens of people and more than a dozen people fighting in this bamboo forest, and they are by no means as handy as the Mandarin Duck Array.

As the long-legged player of the 21st Killer Team, Lin Zhongxiao himself is the first captain in the team after the captain, which is not only in line with his former status as a pacification soldier, but also in line with the regulations that the two captains of each team in the Mandarin Duck Formation respect the long card.

Due to the terrain, the 21st Killer Team here has been divided into two groups with a distance of no more than two meters. The captain did not stand in the middle to command the whole team, but assisted another team in battle, and Lin Zhongxiao's team was naturally commanded by him.

In the bamboo forest, it is not conducive to the player's attack, mainly because if you don't pay attention to the blade when you wield the sword, you will touch the bamboo and get rid of a lot of force, or even cut it on the bamboo to become a live target. It's just that the Mandarin Duck Formation emphasizes the word cooperation, and players, especially long players, only need to protect the players in the back line and push the battle formation forward in battle, and leave the killing of the enemy to other team members.

"Dang!" With a bang, Lin Zhongxiao on the right side of Benwu blocked the slash of the sword and shield soldier on the opposite side with a long card, and then he immediately swung his knife to attack the enemy in front of him. And with his attack, a pikeman beside him immediately formed a smaller battle group with him, and without much effort, he forced this Qing army warrior who was in a single-handedness situation to parry, and had no power to fight back.

At the same time, the wolf warriors in his army also turned their attention to the other Qing troops who were trying to assist the sword and shield soldier in the attack, disrupting their attack. The palladium man and another pikeman, who were on the left side of the army, were attacking another Qing saber and shield soldier who was trying to break the formation before rushing closer.

"Kill!"

Listening to the angry shouts of the spearman, the Qing army who was armed with weapons had to rely on the shield to assassinate the spear. It's just that the strength of the two people on the side of the Ming army is much greater than the strength of one of him after all, this stab immediately pushed him to the ground, and then used the spearman and the boring palladium hand to assassinate again, and the Qing soldiers who were blocked by the bamboo in the direction of rolling were immediately stabbed to the ground, and there was no life.

At this moment, Lin Zhongxiao, who had already pushed the Qing army into a dead end, only heard a "hum", and an arrow flew past his ear and plunged straight into the face of the Qing army.

"Eleventh!"

In order to distinguish the archers who shot the enemy, the archers of the firearms team carved different marks on the shafts of the thirty arrows they carried, such as Feng Biao's arrows with six horizontal bars to indicate his team, plus a circle to mark his person.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the bird's gun, Feng Biao also became more focused, and shot every Qing soldier he noticed. And at this moment, Lin Zhongxiao was not angry at the displeasure of being snatched away from the cooked duck, because another Qing army had rushed in front of him......

The confrontation between the Ming and Qing dynasties in the bamboo forest on the flanks soon ended, and as most of the sharp soldiers in the front row of the Qing army were swept away by the Ming army who fought in teams, the remaining soldiers and auxiliaries did not dare to move forward.

At this moment, I only heard the Ming army's general Yin Yue, who was in charge of the flank command, shouting angrily, and the Ming army didn't even need to change the formation, and directly launched an attack. Only this time, these Qing troops from the right battalion of the standard no longer had the fighting spirit to continue fighting, and instead threw down their weapons and fled, and the auxiliaries behind the queue were faster than them.

In the bamboo forest, the Qing army fled towards the northern part of the bamboo forest where it landed, and some Qing troops near the stream ran directly there to try to escape across the stream. Behind them, the Ming army pursued closely, in order to completely annihilate these Qing troops, who were still above them at the moment.

Suddenly, a burst of cannon fire finally overwhelmed the sound of fighting in the bamboo forest.
