In the sound of horns, six or seven miles northwest of Zhoujiakou, in a field. The farmland after the summer harvest became the best battlefield for the two armies to face each other. The Chen Jiajun and the Qing army were separated by three or four miles.

The result of another duel between Chen Jiajun and Qing soldiers was directly related to the fate of Zhoujiakou. Outside the battlefield, several heads were moving, and there was no need to think about it to know that those people must be from Zhoujiakou.

Chen Ming is a dignified battle. This time the troops were lightly armed, and the troops around him were much smaller, except for the right battalion and the musket battalion, an escort team from the artillery battalion was transferred, and there was also an escort team from the medical battalion, plus a part of the tank and gendarmerie battalions, a part of the reconnaissance battalion, and of course a cavalry battalion and a formation in logistics.

The logistics formation numbered three or four hundred, but at least three hundred of these three or four hundred were prisoners of war. The number of gendarmerie battalions and reconnaissance battalions is small in itself, and they, together with the tank team, Chen Ming's personal soldiers, and the cavalry battalion, form the Chinese army in this battle, and there are 500 people with a piece of men and horses.

The right battalion and the musket battalion, as well as the two escort teams, were the main forces in this battle, which means that the total strength of the Chen family army was less than 2,000. Only one thousand and seven can be put into the war.

The Qing army on the opposite side, Qing soldiers + militia at least 5,000 people. And also brought a couple of small cannons. It was by water.

It was also the urgency of the Qing army, those 'cannons' that were placed in the barracks were left in place because of the problem of time, and Ronghua, the chief soldier of Guide Town, who came to rescue Zhoujiakou, only brought a few sub-mother cannons.

After the Qing soldiers learned of the movement of the Chen family's army, the troop movement was obviously a beat late, and the infantry brigade could still come so quickly, and the big boats floating on the Shahe River had made great contributions. The final gap between the two sides can be shortened to ten miles, and the Qing troops will depend on the convenience of water transportation.

Looking at Chen Jiajun, who seemed to have less than 2,000 people in front of him, Ronghua did not show a relieved expression. He knew in his heart the combat effectiveness of the Chen family's army, don't look at the fact that there are only less than 2,000 people, the strength is played normally, and he can still kill the 5,000 people under him.

And this was a real field battle, both sides did not cover up, the Qing soldiers did not have trenches and fences, and the Chen army did not have a shield car. The two sides can be said to have a real battle.

Ronghua didn't have much chance of winning, but he also found it a clear opportunity. He also has two or three thousand reinforcements behind him, but Chen Ming has no extra troops at all, if he fights to the death, will he defeat Chen Ming's troops? even killed Chen Ming on this ???

Ronghua's heart was pounding. It's an opportunity, a great opportunity. But then he was silent again, Xihua is seventy miles away from Zhoujiakou, the infantry is in a hurry, even if it is transported by water, it will take a day less, not to mention where there are so many ships in Xihua?

When Fode and Ma Wenjie rushed to Zhoujiakou with their people, the daylily was cold.

Now the only thing Rong Hua can count on is the six sub-mother cannons in his hands. This kind of light artillery, which is improved from the Zhu Ming Fulang machine gun, weighs no more than 100 catties, and each sub-cannon has five, although the cannon is only a pitiful five taels, which can only be regarded as a large musket, but it also has a certain existential significance. It has a range and speed that is faster than an arquebus, faster than a flintlock pistol, and much more powerful than a shotgun.

Chen Ming wondered if the disappearance of the sub-cannons in the middle and late Manchu Dynasty was because they were robbed of business by carrying guns and cannons. Isn't a five-tael cannon just a cannon?

The tail of the sub-mother cannon was equipped with a wooden handle, the rear of which was bent downwards and attached to the gun carriage by iron cables. The sub-mother cannon is mounted on a four-legged wooden frame, and there are iron wheels installed on the feet, which can be pushed and pulled, and it is convenient to move. When used, the sub-cannon is placed into the opening of the rear abdomen of the mother gun, fixed with an iron latch, and then the sub-cannon is ignited, and the warhead flies out of the mouth of the mother gun. Much faster than a shotgun!

The only thing Ronghua can rely on now is these six sub-mother cannons.

Chen Ming looked through the telescope and clearly saw the six sub-cannons set up by the Qing army in front of the formation. He greeted Chen Zhongda, "Did you see the six small cannons in front of the Qing army?" The task of your sniper team is to shoot as many small artillery gunners as possible and delay the firing of the small cannons. ”

Qing Bing took out six sub-cannons at once, which made Chen Ming slightly surprised. It's just that these accidents not only didn't mess him up, but made him more eager to win.

With a dignified battle, one blow to break the Qing army of 5,000, this will definitely make Zhoujiakou quiet, and then this brilliant record can also be spread to the north and south of the river at the fastest speed through countless merchants in Zhoujiakou.

After all, the Qing army is an official army, and it will not suffer losses in guns and artillery, and even take advantage of it. With Chen Jiajun's siege of the city during this period, this will definitely cause a sensation in the whole of China.

Chen Ming was really eager to recruit some anti-Qing righteous people for him, regardless of whether these people had been engaged in black and gray business before.

There were more and more people outside the battlefield, and some of them even took out their binoculars. This thing is still a rare thing in China, and those who can hold it to manage the formation, their identity will not be simple.

The onlookers will not only pay attention to the Qing soldiers on the opposite side, but also look at the Chen Jiajun who is closer.

Carefully observing the formation of the Chen family army on the opposite side, many people had already frowned, they found that the queue of the thief army in front of them was extremely neat, the first was the thief soldier with a shotgun, but these thieves did not see the arquebus, these thieves holding a shotgun There were about five hundred thieves, divided into five queues, and each combat unit was a hundred-person team.

After the long row of musketeers was laid out, it was no longer the original five-column horizontal line, but a very exaggerated two-column horizontal line.

There was a wide gap in the middle of each musketeer, and there were more thieves in the back of them, also one unit per hundred, with a red flag, a total of seven. Behind them is Chen Ming's Chinese army. The cavalry of the squad was jogging across the battlefield, and there were horse teams on standby.

The Qing army also fought in formation, but their queue was originally much worse than that of the Chen family's army, and now that there is a team of Minyong and Ding Zhuang, there is no way to discharge a very beautiful phalanx.

It was just a simple array, and the people who came out to watch the battle in Zhoujiakou were faintly disappointed with the Qing soldiers and their great saviors.

But Ronghua can't think about it so much, three or four miles away, the armies on both sides are walking opposite each other, and they will be able to meet soon. Rong Hua ordered the artillery of the rear team to speed up, push to the front line and start firing at the troops of the Chen family's army. But without waiting for the Ronghua artillerymen to push the artillery to the front line, at the front of the Chen family's army's front, the few lonely stragglers rang out sporadically. Then Ronghua and all the Qing soldiers on the front line were shocked to see that the gunners who were pushing the four-wheeled carts fell down with a bang!

Three were killed and one was wounded, and the injured half of the shoulder blade was opened.
