The June sun shone on the earth like fire, and the leaves and grass were wilting and drooping under the strong light, and the snakes, insects, birds, and beasts were so clever that they didn't know where to hide, and even the voices that knew were weak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This kind of weather is undoubtedly the happiest choice for people to lie in the shade of the trees and fan the pu fan and drink mung bean soup. But for the soldiers who fought the battlefield, the hot weather was not a reason to strike.

Outside Jiangyin City, by the moat. Thousands of Ming and Qing troops were fighting, and Liu Liangzuo's 3,000 green battalion soldiers were attacking around 1,000 Chongming soldiers.

A thousand Chongming troops formed a phalanx, with pikemen outside and musketeers inside, trying their best to resist the attack of the Green Battalion.

One by one, the spearmen of the Chongming Army fell in a pool of blood, and the pikemen in the back row quickly made up for it without saying a word, trying to maintain the integrity of the front. Dozens of musketeers in the middle of the formation nervously loaded gunpowder, and the muskets filled with gunpowder were handed to the musketeers in front, and the musketeers in charge of firing took the muskets and handed back the empty muskets.

The continuous sound of gunfire was endless, and with every gunshot, a green battalion soldier fell to the ground.

Facing the musket fire of the Chongming army, the archers of the Green Battalion were also fighting back. Hundreds of Green Battalion archers held their Tuomu bows high, and arrows rained down in the air, falling towards the Chongming army in the array.

However, most of the Chongming army wore armor, and ordinary arrows could not do much damage to them unless they hit the nail on the head. However, for the Green Battalion, as long as they were shot by a musket, they would lose their combat effectiveness, and even if they did not die at that time, they would die from infection caused by lead poisoning.

In half an hour, the Chongming army had already lost more than 100 people, and they had inflicted as much as twice as many casualties on the enemy.

The battalion was in the middle of the formation, stepping on a stone, closely observing the situation of the battlefield, and more than a dozen personal soldiers surrounded him, holding high shields to guard against possible arrows.

In less than two years of military service, Sha Qianli's face has faded from the youthfulness of a fisherman, and years of conquest have transformed him into a heroic young officer.

At the age of nineteen, he was so young, just like the Chongming army under him. There are less than thirty percent of the real veterans in the 1,000 Chongming army, and even the so-called veterans have been in the army for no more than two years, compared to the green battalion soldiers who are besieging them, they are really young.

Being young means being inexperienced, but being young also means being energetic and not afraid of sacrifice.

In terms of experience, the soldiers of the Chongming Army are far from being compared with the green battalion soldiers who are besieging them, and in terms of numbers, the green battalion soldiers are three times that of their own.

However, many times wars are fought not by experience, nor by numbers, but by resilience, to see who can persevere to the end without fear of sacrifice!

Although the Chongming army was small in number and far less experienced than the enemy, their morale in fighting to the end without fear of sacrifice was far superior to that of the enemy. From Zhoushan to Qingzhou, from Tongling to Yangzhou, countless battles and victories have created the indomitable will of the Chongming army. This allows them to fight to the end despite being besieged by most enemies.

Taking advantage of the gap between another attack by the Green Battalion soldiers and being repulsed, Sha Qianli ordered the spearmen in the back row to step forward and replace the tired and panting front-line soldiers.

Back in the open space in the formation, hundreds of withdrawn soldiers sat on the ground regardless of it, gasping for breath, beads of sweat rolling down their faces like rain, taking off the bamboo tube with water hanging from their waists, pulling out the plug, and desperately pouring water into their mouths. They need to replenish their strength quickly, because the enemy will soon organize the next attack.

Several doctors who accompanied the army hurriedly stepped forward to bandage the wounded soldiers. A special knife wound medicine was sprinkled on the wound, and the blood flow immediately slowed down a lot, and then the wound was covered with a clean white cloth strip. There were so many wounded soldiers that the few doctors were too busy to keep them busy.

Soon, the Green Battalion soldiers shouted and killed again, and the soldiers of the Chongming Army stood up from the ground one after another, clenched their weapons in their hands, and waited for the enemy to attack again.

Liu Liangzuo sat on a horse tie under the shade of a tree with a blue face, his armor had already been unloaded and placed on the grass beside him, and the more than 1,000 cavalrymen behind him were the same as him, they also unloaded their armor and dismounted, and rested quietly in the shade of the tree.

It's not uncommon to wear single clothes on a hot day, let alone armor. Only soldiers who attack on wheels wear armor.

One after another heralds came running one after another, reporting the situation on the battlefield, and the more Liu Liangzuo listened, the more his face turned bluer, and the anger in his heart became bigger and bigger.

In less than an hour, more than 200 green battalion soldiers had killed and wounded more than 200 green battalion soldiers, but they could not break through the position of the Ming army by half a step.

"Give the three thousand commanders an order, the Ming army array must be broken within half an hour, otherwise military law will be engaged!" Liu Liangzuo ordered angrily.

With Liu Liangzuo's order, the offensive of the green battalion soldiers became more violent, and the front of the Chongming army was in danger, and several fronts were broken through by the green battalion soldiers. The casualties of his men are increasing.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Liu Liangzuo knew that the time had come to annihilate this Chongming army, and ordered all the cavalry under his subordinates to mount their horses with helmets and armor, and ordered the general Jiang Ye to take 200 cavalry to attack the Ming army's position. And he himself cruised outside the battlefield with the remaining eight hundred cavalry.

It's time to come, right? Liu Liangzuo rode around on his horse and observed.

"Report, Master Hou, a Ming army appeared on the Xiheng River three miles away, and the number was three thousand! Disembarkation. A cavalryman jumped on his horse and reported to Liu Liangzuo.

finally came, and Liu Liangzuo was overjoyed when he heard this. The reason why he did not move according to the cavalry was to wait for the arrival of this Chongming army.

After more than 20 years in the army, although the defeat is far less than the victory, Liu Liangzuo's experience is not abundant, and how can he not know the situation of the Ming army near Jiangyin. Liu Zhaoji and several thousand men have occupied Jingjiang Island for dozens of days, and they have long attracted the attention of the Qing army, but because Jingjiang is only an isolated island in the middle of the river, and the people everywhere are rioting, the Qing army does not care about Jingjiang at all. However, Liu Liangzuo, who attacked Jiangyin, naturally did not forget the Ming army in Jingjiang.

When the 1,000 Chongming army in Jiangyin City went out of the city and fought to the death, Liu Liangzuo knew that the Ming army must have a calculation, so he ordered his 3,000 infantry to attack the Chongming army, but he did not enter the battlefield with a thousand cavalry, just waiting for the arrival of the Chongming army in Jingjiang.

The west of Jiangyin is flat, and the riverside bank is conducive to horses galloping. While the Ming army was disembarking, 800 cavalry was enough to defeat 3,000 Chongming army infantry!

With an order, all the cavalry under his command got on their horses, and Liu Liangzuo spurred his war horses and led 800 cavalry towards the Chongming army by the river.
