After perceiving the weakness of the Chongming army, Azig did not hesitate, and decisively sent the green battalion to enter the treasury and began to attack the Chinese army formation of the Chongming army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Jinku's subordinates are Gao Jie's descendants, and their combat effectiveness is second to none among the green battalion soldiers. Gao Jinku personally led the team to charge forward, and more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers shouted and rushed over.

In the military formation of the Chongming army, there were only more than 5,000 troops under the two generals Bu Congshan and Liu Zeyong, but they were not afraid of the attack of the Qing army. In the past few months since joining the Chongming Army, Ren Siqi has not treated these newly surrendered troops badly, and the treatment of weapons, equipment, food and salaries is exactly the same as that of the old Chongming Army. The only difference was that this surrender army was not equipped with muskets, after all, the production of muskets was limited and not enough to equip the entire army. Spears, swords and shields, bows and arrows, like the green battalion soldiers attacking from the opposite side, are all cold weapon troops.

When the two sides approached, they first fired bows and arrows, and then shouted and fought together. The weapons of the two sides are basically the same, and the tactics and tactics are also very similar, and a few months ago they both belonged to the green battalion sequence, so they can be said to know each other. As soon as the servants fought, they were inseparable. Although the number of green battalion soldiers under Gao Jinku was twice that of the Ming army, there were only hundreds of people in the forefront who really came into contact with the battle on the battlefield, and the others could only wave their flags and shout in the back. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the newly surrendered troops, Ren Siqi allocated thousands of armors, so in terms of defensive strength, the defensive strength of the Ming army under Bu Congshan should be higher than that of the Gaojin Kulu Battalion.

A green battalion soldier roared and slashed at the Ming army on the opposite side, but was surprised to see the knife slide down on the opponent's body, sparks, and the Ming army on the opposite side stabbed the spear into his belly as if nothing happened, and the tattered mandarin duck battle jacket could not stop the sharp spear from piercing at all. If only I had such armor, this was the last thought of the Green Battalion soldier before he died.

The combat strength is almost the same, but because of the difference in armor, the number of casualties of the attacking green battalion soldiers is much higher than that of the Ming army, and the two sides fought for less than half an hour, and the green battalion soldiers can no longer bear this asymmetrical casualties, and there is a faint tendency of defeat. Gao Jinku howled behind the guards and killed a few soldiers who wanted to escape, so that the army did not collapse and fled. But he also knew that if this situation continued, it would not be long before his army would collapse.

"It's time for us to go!" Looking at the battlefield in front of him, and seeing that the green battalion soldiers of Gao Jinku were already unable to resist, Azig stepped on the war horse and said to Kong Youde beside him.

"Why did the prince go out in person, although the Ming army is winning, but it has also reached the end of the strong crossbow, and only one of the partial generals needs to lead the army to assault and kill through their array." Seeing that Azig planned to charge the battle in person, Kong Youde hurriedly dissuaded.

After all, the number of the Ming army on the opposite side is far less than their own, and almost all of them are trapped in the battle, although the situation is not down, but in fact, they have been fighting for half a day and are exhausted, and their own nearly 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers have been recuperating, waiting for the moment when the Ming army is tired, Kong Youde believes that as long as a cavalry assault is sent, it can easily penetrate the phalanx of the Ming army, and then they can start a massacre. This was the best moment for his military exploits, and he immediately volunteered to ask Azig for orders to personally lead the army and launch an attack on the Ming army's formation.

"So there will be King Lao Gongshun!" Azig also knew that it was inappropriate for him to charge the battle in person as the commander of the first army, and Kong Youde was the first person under him to lead the charge.

Leaving only 1,000 Eight Banners as the escort of the Chinese army, Azig handed over the other 8,000 men to Kong Youde, who launched a general attack on the Ming army. The battle had been going on for too long, and he didn't want to fight at night.

Eight thousand eight banners gathered at the foot of the hill, under the leadership of Kong Youde, slowly approaching the battlefield, as long as they crossed the distance of two miles, they would enter the battlefield and launch the final blow to the Ming army.

"It's finally here! Get ready. Ren Siqi looked at the situation on the battlefield through the clairvoyant mirror, and looked at the slowly approaching Eight Banners soldiers in the distance. The battle lasted for a long time, and this was the moment he was waiting for.

The soldiers around him conveyed the order, and in front of the Chinese army's formation, pieces of white cloth were lifted, revealing swarthy artillery barrels, and a full hundred artillery pieces appeared on the battlefield, and boxes of shells were placed next to each artillery.

In the previous battle, Ren Siqi did not put artillery into the battlefield, waiting for the moment when the main force of the Qing army was put on the battlefield.

On the side of the artillery, there are many simple stone throwers made of bamboo at the same time, and there are hundreds of them, each of which is operated by two soldiers of the Chongming Army, who are responsible for throwing gunpowder shells to the battlefield with stone throwers.

The horse's hooves trampled, the Eight Banners had entered the battlefield, and the cavalry at the front urged the war horses to speed up, and at the same time, the green battalion soldiers under Gao Jinku retreated like a tide, revealing the Ming army of Bu Congshan, and the next moment the Eight Banners cavalry would urge the war horses to kill into the exhausted Bu Congshan array.

"Kill the past, defeat the Ming army, and capture Ren Siqi alive!" An eight-banner leader urged the war horse, howling to cheer up his subordinates. But his voice was suddenly drowned out by the thunderous sound of cannons.

The leader of the Eight Banners looked up and was horrified to see countless cannonballs flying in mid-air.

"I said that Ren Siqi would dare to fight with my Eight Banners Army in the field, I originally wanted to rely on artillery!" Azig, who was watching the battle from a distance, laughed, although the Ming army had a lot of artillery, but after all, it was all small-caliber artillery, as long as his own army rushed over and fought with them, the artillery would be useless. This Ren Siqi is really an idiot, and he doesn't know how to use it early if he has artillery.

However, before Azig's laughter could land, suddenly another continuous explosion sounded, and he was horrified to see a sea of fire on the battlefield, sweeping the Eight Banners who were attacking.

"Boom", "boom", "boom" continuous explosions sounded on the battlefield, and each explosion had stumps and severed arms flying in all directions, all accompanied by the blazing fire. The explosions were incessant, and the entire battlefield became a sea of fire.

Azig looked through the clairvoyant mirror in shock, and saw that in the battlefield, the horses neighed and fell to the ground, and one after another the Eight Banners warriors were overturned in the sky by artillery fire, and the entire battlefield had become a hell on earth.

The hollow bomb, the bomb that exploded after landing, was finally produced by the Ordnance Department after two years of continuous research and development, and was put into the battlefield for the first time.

I don't want a solid shell, only if it hits can it hurt people, this kind of hollow bomb will sweep away the space within a radius as long as it explodes, and the shrapnel that explodes is enough to tear apart the heavy armor on the Eight Banners. Although the bomb made of black powder is far from being compared with the bombs of later generations, it is also a great killing weapon on the battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty.

It was just a round of artillery bombardment, and a hundred shells fell on the dense array of Eight Banners, sweeping almost everyone inside. When the sound of artillery stopped, the smoke of gunpowder cleared, and we saw that the battlefield was full of stumps and broken arms, and at least more than 2,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners were killed and injured by the shells. However, this was not over, as soon as the shells stopped, the stone throwers in the Ming army's position were triggered, throwing gunpowder shells into the battlefield one by one, and then there were rounds of explosions.

It was over, listening to the deafening explosion and looking at the Eight Banners soldiers who were screaming and fleeing in the firelight, Azig felt a sweet throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
