The roar of more than a hundred cannons made the entire hill tremble.

Bump, bump, bump...... The earth-shattering roar rang out continuously, and puffs of smoke came out of the muzzles.

The shells flew at high speed in the air, and they produced a harsh sound when they collided with the air.

With a whistling sound, the shells fell into the camp of the Qing army.

The newly made flowering bomb also exploded with a greasy bang. Under the action of the huge shock wave, hundreds of fragmented steel balls flew in all directions.

Whether it was the Green Battalion Army wearing infantry clothes or the Eight Banners Cavalry wearing heavy armor, countless blood splattered on their bodies in an instant, screaming and falling to the ground. Some of them didn't even make the last sound, and they were blown apart.

The war horse, which was not yet dead, jumped wildly in fright, and threw the Qing soldiers off their horses.

After a round of fighting, the Qing army, which had just lined up in formation, fell into chaos again.

Some of the Qing soldiers were frightened by the artillery fire, and some of the Qing soldiers hurriedly dragged their adults off their frightened horses to protect them.

Looking at the bloody scene, some painful scenes surfaced in Tan Tai's mind again.

When he was still a young general, when he followed Nurhachi to fight Ningyuan, he saw with his own eyes that the Ming army inflicted huge casualties on the Qing army with artillery.

I thought I would never see such a scene again, but I didn't expect to see it again today.

Tan Tai shouted in horror, "Disperse, retreat!" ”

Before, they were still beating drums and gathering people, but now they are shouting to retreat.

The inconsistent orders added to the confusion of the Qing army.

Listening to the earth-shattering roar in the sky, it seemed to suppress all the sounds in the battlefield for a while.

After the soldiers of the two armies in the melee in the city shook slightly, they immediately threw themselves into the fight.

Li Chengdong, who was chased by the Qing army and fled again and again, was stunned for a moment when he heard the cannon, and then suddenly came to his senses.

"Our reinforcements have arrived, kill them!" Li Chengdong roared wildly.

The collapse of the Ming army is imminent, if it is not able to stabilize the morale of the army in time, a great rout will be inevitable, even if it is really the enemy army, it is the most important thing to stabilize their own soldiers and horses first.

"Reinforcements have arrived, we are saved, brothers hold on!" A handful of nimble minds quickly understood Li Chengdong's intentions and shouted in agreement.

The rest of the soldiers didn't know why, they really thought that the reinforcements had arrived, and they all showed ecstasy, and their low morale really rose all of a sudden, wielding swords and guns to stubbornly entangle with the Qing army, fighting for a glimmer of life

Geng Jingzhong, who was not far from the city gate, was anxious to let Tan Tai guard him. "Come on, quickly escort the general to retreat!"

Tan Tai pushed away the soldiers who were protecting him, and shouted angrily: "Leave me alone, beat the drum quickly, and fight!" ”

With the efforts of Tan Tai and other Qing generals, the chaos of the Qing soldiers was gradually cleaned up.

But soon, Tan Tai realized that it was all in vain.

The little Qing soldiers who had just gathered exploded the camp in a burst of artillery fire, and looking at those bloody hellish scenes, those Qing soldiers suddenly collapsed.

A few people screamed hysterically, and then many people followed suit, running desperately and desperately trying to get away from the battlefield.

"The artillery battalion will beat me hard!"

"Musketeers, archers, kill me!"

……

Zheng Chenggong pointed the Longquan sword in his hand at the Qing army, and shouted with all his strength: "The Zheng family army will fight again if it is defeated, and I hope that all the soldiers will fight bravely." Kill! ”

At this time, the musketeers led by He Wenxing and the archers led by Huang Ting rushed to the battlefield.

Under Hewenxing's order, the five thousand musketeers were like someone lighting a firecracker, and it crackled.

The Qing soldiers who ran around suddenly felt like a stick, and fell to the ground, covering the wound the size of a copper coin and groaning in pain.

After firing a volley, the musketeer hurriedly took out a small piece of paper from the cloth bag hanging from his waist, bit the rice paper with his mouth, put the wrapped gunpowder into the muzzle, and then took out a small iron ball from the bag and stuffed it into the chamber of the gun, and finally crumpled the rice paper into the chamber and stuffed it with a small wooden poke.

In less than half a minute, the musketeers raised their guns and opened fire on the Qingmen.

The gunfire rang out again, and the Qing soldiers were shot one after another and fell.

Again, the musketeer pulled out a small piece of paper from the cloth bag......

Seeing that the musketeers had made meritorious contributions, Huang Ting also hurriedly ordered his subordinates to do it.

A full five thousand strong bows were drawn into a semicircle by the soldiers, and soon sharp arrows flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and then fell sharply.

Round after round, the archers desperately tried to prove that they were better than the musketeers, so a bowl of tea shot eleven rounds in a row, and the fingers were a little trembling before resting temporarily.

Bursts of arrows rained down on the Qing army, killing and wounding nearly 7,000 people.

Watching the defeated Qing soldiers fall one by one, Tan Tai's eyes cracked, and he shouted angrily: "Go and ask the rubber merchant to lead the Eight Banners cavalry to disperse this gang of thieves!" ”

With the order of the herald of the Qing army, the drum sounded rapidly.

The 20,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners, who were originally wandering around the periphery to prevent Li Chengdong from escaping, heard the sound of drums, hurriedly bypassed the city wall, and killed the musket battalion and bow battalion of the Zheng family's army.

When the distance was less than a mile, the rubber merchant roared, and immediately the other cavalry followed suit.

In the roar, the Qing army raised its saber and rushed towards the Zheng family army in a large cone.

Seeing that the cavalry was approaching, the musketeers climbed into the ox carts where the weapons were usually placed, erected baffles, and fired through the orifices.

Gan Hui, who was standing in front of the formation, roared angrily, "Defeat the Qing army!" ”

Hearing the order, the ironclad army dropped the iron mask, clenched the swords with both hands, and stepped forward step by step, the momentum was like a mountain of swords and a sea of iron.

The cavalry is indeed the king of land warfare with cold weapons, and the Eight Banners cavalry is not a strong army in this era. Facing the rain of arrows and bullets like a torrential rain, nearly 3,000 people were killed and wounded, and they still stubbornly killed in front of Zheng Jiajun, and the sharp knife flashed with cold light under the sun.

Looking at the oncoming cavalry, the soldiers of the ironclad army did not panic, and they all looked at those Qing soldiers proudly.

It's like those pigs who are not 20,000 cavalry, just 20,000 pigs, who can bark.

Seeing that the Eight Banners cavalry had reached less than ten paces, the archers did not fire again.

They hung up their bows and arrows, pulled out the grenade bullets hanging from behind their waists, lit them with incense, and threw them at the front.

The loud bang exploded in the Eight Banners cavalry behind the two rows, and the shattered iron pieces and thunderbolt-like loud noises made the war horses and the cavalry of the Qing army stunned for a moment, and in an instant, the fallen war horses and knights were trampled like mud by the huge hooves that continued to gallop forward.

Wave after wave of grenade shells were thrown, and in the explosion, the cavalry forward of nearly 1,000 people was instantly blown up with only nearly 100 people left, and the momentum that had swept over like a tsunami was scattered.

The cavalry of the Qing army, which had experienced the baptism of arrows and grenades, finally killed in front of the Zheng family's army, and before they could rejoice over, they were presented with a cold sword mountain in front of them.
