Rout, irreversible rout!

When the flowering cannon popped out on the battlefield, it was already doomed to the fate of the Qing army. After two years of research and development by the Chongming Ordnance Division, this kind www.biquge.info of shell, which should have appeared in the early nineteenth century, entered the battlefield nearly two hundred years ahead of schedule. Although there were similar flowering shells that could explode in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the process of that kind of shell was too simple, and the shell was divided into several pieces after exploding, completely relying on the poisonous smoke and poisonous fire emitted during the explosion to kill and injure the enemy.

The flowering bomb invented by the Chongming Army is a grenade in the real sense, the whole body is conical, the shell is cast with iron, and the inside is filled with black powder, the key to this kind of shell is how to ensure that it explodes after landing. This technique stumped a large number of people, and it was not until half a year ago that a craftsman devised a trigger device that would hit the back of the fire cap with the head when the shell hit the ground, and then ignite the gunpowder inside to explode.

This kind of flowering bomb is very similar to the grenades of later generations, of course, because it is black powder inside, the power is much less. But in this way, the shock to the people of this era is still extremely huge.

Watching the shells fall to the side and explode, the people and horses around him were blown apart, the stumps and broken arms flew everywhere, and the flesh and blood were splashed everywhere, this situation was too tragic, it was like hell on earth. What's even more terrifying is that you don't see the enemy's face at all, and your own side is blown to pieces, and you don't know when a bomb will fall on you and blow yourself into the air. It's horrible!

Although the Eight Banners were the most elite and powerful troops of this era, they had never experienced this kind of battle, and before they could engage the enemy in a short battle, they were covered in a rain of shells, and hundreds of lives disappeared into the battlefield.

How can this be fought? I'm afraid that when they rush to the array of the Ming army, they will be killed by more than half of them, and what is even more terrifying is that the war horses of the Eight Banners have not experienced this kind of explosion training, and when the continuous explosions sounded around them, almost all the war horses were shocked, and they were crazy on the battlefield, tearing and biting everywhere, and the Eight Banners on horseback were overturned to the ground, and then they were ruthlessly trampled by iron hooves.

It's messy, it's all messy, the eight thousand Eight Banners soldiers haven't waited for the Chongming Army to meet each other, that is, they were blown into a mess by shells, and seeing this situation, the green battalion soldiers Jin Shenghuan and Ke Yongsheng, who were attacking the left and right flanks of the Ming army, were dumbfounded, and then fell into a panic, the Eight Banners Taijun were all bombarded into a mess by the artillery of the Ming army, if this kind of shell fell close to their own queue, then what?

As if hearing their voices, countless black dots crossed the line of hand-to-hand combat and landed in the rear of the green battalion, and then a continuous explosion sounded, and the explosions of the two green battalions became one. It was the Ming army who threw gunpowder shells behind their formation with a stone thrower.

After a short silence, there was a bang, and countless green battalion soldiers threw down their weapons, turned around and fled, and the generals of the Ren Command Array refused to stop fleeing with hoarse roars.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Jin Shenghuan and Ke Yongsheng knew that the general trend had gone, and even the Eight Banners soldiers fled in embarrassment with heavy casualties under the artillery bombardment of the Ming army, what could they do? Turning the war horse and turning back, they all fled into the distance.

The defeat was like a mountain, whether it was the Eight Banners or the Green Battalion soldiers, all of them turned around and fled, throwing away the weapons in their hands and taking off their cumbersome armor, just to be able to run faster, at least faster than their teammates.

Kong Youde rode on a war horse, but the front and back of the war horse were full of fleeing Qing soldiers, and the war horse couldn't take a step at all. The sound of fighting sounded, and the Ming army had already killed from behind.

"Get out of the ......" More than a dozen guards struggled to whip their horses, and the Qing soldiers in front of them rolled all over the ground, which opened a way for Kong Youde. Looking back at the tragic situation on the battlefield, Kong Youde sighed and rode away.

The Qing army was defeated, and the Chongming army naturally would not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs, except for the ironclad battalion of the Gongwei Chinese army, the other soldiers joined the pursuit sequence, with the small flag as a unit, and followed the Qing soldiers to start the pursuit. They chased the enemy all over the hills. This chase was dozens of miles, and it was not until it was dark that the pursuers rushed back to the camp one after another.

"A total of 12,000 Qing troops were captured, including 3,213 Eight Banner soldiers, 11,000 Green Battalion soldiers were captured, and less than 20,000 Qing troops fled in the direction of Yanping. Our army suffered 845 casualties, of which 160 were killed. After overnight statistics, the results of this battle were counted, and Song Liben reported to Ren Siqi with a spring breeze on his face. It's really a big victory, a rare victory, the number of Qing troops killed is almost the same as the Ming army that went to war, and it also includes more than 3,000 Eight Banner soldiers. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the Eight Banners, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, and it is a rare victory to win more than ten levels in each battle. I'm afraid that in the past twenty years, all the heads of the Eight Banners captured by the Ming army have not added up to so much!

After this battle, the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners will become a thing of the past!

"Two hundred and ten war horses, five thousand one hundred and twenty-three pairs of complete armor, three thousand pairs of bows and arrows, and countless swords, guns, and weapons were captured." The officers of the Logistics Department were still thinking about the capture of this battle, and Ren Siqi's mind was no longer here.

After this battle, the courage of the Qing army has been broken, and it is already easy to sweep through Fujian next, and the next thing to face is Zheng Zhilong's gang, how to deal with them? At this moment, Ren Siqi didn't know the news that Zheng Zhilong had surrendered, in his opinion, the situation in Nanming is completely different from history, because of his own joining, Nanjing and the richest places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are still in the hands of the Ming army, Zheng Zhilong should not surrender so easily, right?

So a few days later, when Ren Siqi got the news that Zheng Zhilong had been cleared, he was very shocked. It seems that the inertia of history still exists, and it has not changed because of its own birth.

After defeating the Qing army, resting for three days, Ren Siqi ordered the troops to send troops to Yanping Mansion, Azig did not defend Yanping, nor did he try to reorganize the army and fight with the Chongming army, but retreated to Fuzhou with the defeated army, and then fled south to Quanzhou.

On December 8, Ren Siqi led his troops to occupy the city of Fuzhou and began preparations for the final attack on the Qing army in the direction of Quanzhou. However, when the offensive was not launched, the Zheng Zhilong department that surrendered to the Qing army had a riot, and tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers attacked the Qing soldiers in Quanzhou under the leadership of Shi Lang and others. When Kong Youde was fighting, he was shot to death by a stray arrow. Azig was also seriously wounded, and in a fit of rage, he killed Zheng Zhilong, withdrew from Quanzhou with thousands of Qing troops, and went to Nan'an, intending to rendezvous with Bolo so that he could withdraw from Fujian.

When Ren Siqi arrived in Quanzhou with his troops, Quanzhou had been recovered, and it was Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Hongkui who controlled Quanzhou City. Ren Siqi summoned Zheng Hongkui and the generals of the Zheng family in the name of Emperor Longwu, and then put them all under house arrest, and sent an army to incorporate the soldiers of the Zheng family, and encountered a lot of resistance in the middle, but under the strong combat power of the Chongming army, the resistance was forcibly suppressed, and thousands of people died under the knife of the Chongming army, and the other soldiers obediently accepted the adaptation.

After the Zheng family's army was absorbed, Ren Siqi controlled the army of nearly 100,000 people, he immediately dispatched troops, began to chase and intercept the remnants of the Qing soldiers, and finally caught up with Azig and Bolo in Tingzhou, in the battle the green battalion general Jin Shenghuan turned against him, raised his sword and gun to the Eight Banners from behind, under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army and the surrendered Green Battalion soldiers, the remaining thousands of Eight Banners soldiers were wiped out between the mountains of Tingzhou, Azig clashed bravely, killed dozens of Ming troops, and was finally killed by the muskets of the Chongming army. Bellebolo was captured alive.

Since September, Azig led 50,000 troops to invade Fujian, and after three months of fighting, it ended with Azig being killed and the Qing army being annihilated. After integrating the Zheng family's army, Fujian also fell into the hands of the Chongming army.
