The second morning

The sun lazily sprinkled on the earth, the Qing army and the Ming army were very calm in the two camps facing each other from afar, the sky had already brightened, but the Qing army did not have the slightest sign of coming to attack, the entire Qing army camp was silent, if it were not for the cavalry outside the Qing army camp from time to time galloping outside the Ming army camp, it would really make people think that the Qing army had withdrawn.

However, although the Qing army did not move, the officers led by Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to relax at all, and still urged his sergeants to step up monitoring the movements of the Qing army.

Li Yuan, who was following closely behind Pang Gang, asked a little puzzled: "My lord, why didn't the Tartars come over?" Could it be that we are afraid of it? ”

Pang Gang hadn't answered yet, and Da Zhuang on the side also asked: "Yes, these days, the Tartars began to assemble and then attack, could it be that they will be a chicken today?" ”

Pang Gang shook his head with a smile, "You really think that the official is Zhuge Liang, a prophet of the hexagram, but the official estimates that the Tartars will not last a few days, and the losses of the Tartars in the past few days have almost reached their limit, and if they continue to fight, they will be hurt to the root." ”

According to the historical records of later generations, the total number of troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before entering the customs never exceeded 200,000, and it was absolutely impossible to support such a large army with a total population of less than one million in the Manchu Dynasty.

Since he came to this era, the Qing soldiers eliminated by his own hands have been no less than 40,000 to 50,000, not including the Qing soldiers annihilated in this battle, such a large loss is enough for the sparsely populated Manchu Qing to the point of breaking the muscles and bones, if this loss continues, in the next ten years, the Manchu Qing will continue to invade the south, and even self-preservation will be a problem, so according to this inference, Pang Gang concluded that Yue Tuo and Dolgon either concentrated their forces and fought to the death with themselves, or withdrew their troops, and there was absolutely no second way to go.

Thinking of this, Pang Gang turned his head to Li Yuan, Da Zhuang and the others and said: "After these bloody battles, our casualties are not small, but the casualties of the Tartars are even greater. In order to prevent the Tartar dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, everyone must cheer up, as long as they resist a few more rounds of Tartar attacks, then it will be our turn to chase their butts and beat them. ”

"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll definitely have to clean them up, these words have suffocated me." Li Yuan on the side grinned and said with a big smile, these words are always passive defense, but they suffocated him.

Not to mention Li Yuan and Da Zhuang, Hao Dayong, Hei Tie and others behind them also began to gear up, preparing to make new contributions in the next battle. The middle and high-level of the Qingzhou army know that their huge heart is very big, although the territory of Shandong is not small, but it is certainly not Pang Gang's ultimate goal, now it is in troubled times, and people with a discerning eye can see that the Ming Dynasty is already stormy and crumbling, if the huge people can be crowned with great treasures, they must be in the matter of these ministers from the dragon to the Hou Hou worship generals, now it is not good to behave more when, thinking of this, everyone's eyes are even hotter, at the moment, their own time has just passed, Pang Gang, who had a faint feeling in his heart, ordered to bury the pot to make rice, and before noon, the Qingzhou army had already finished eating.

Pang Gang's premonition was indeed correct, just after noon, the originally silent Qing army camp sounded a earth-shattering horn, and countless Qing soldiers poured towards the Ming army camp like a tide.

Moreover, the attack of the Qing army this time was not the same as before, and there were more shield carts with the attack than in previous days, and the dense shield carts were lined up in several layers, followed by dense Qing soldiers holding large swords, spears and heavy shields.

Not to be outdone, the camp of the Ming army was not to be outdone, and bursts of drums also sounded in the camp.

"Knock knock ......"

Countless soldiers of the Ming army also poured out of their tents, fully armed, holding various weapons and running towards the defense line of the camp.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The first to speak was still the artillery battalion commanded by Dong Guo, and when he saw the dense Qing army that could not be seen at a glance outside, the fool also knew that this time the Tartars were really coming, and Dong Guo was not "stingy", and ordered the gunners to shoot out the remaining more than 200 flowering shells.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With an order, more than 60 Napoleonic cannons began to roar, and one after another flowering shells exploded in the dense formation of the Qing army.

It stands to reason that such a large casualty would be distressed by any general, but today's Qing soldiers seemed to be crazy, without the slightest hesitation, after the Qing soldiers were blown open by the bomb, just a blink of an eye, this gap will be filled by the Qing soldiers who swarmed from behind, and all the Qing soldiers seemed to have lost their minds, each holding a weapon and rushing forward.

"Quick, fire all the fire!"

In the face of the swarming Qing soldiers, all the Ming troops did not need to be supervised by the officers, and all of them began to shoot at a faster speed than Pingyue, whether it was the Mini rifle of the Qingzhou Army or the Lumi Gun of the Shanxi Army and the Xuanda Army, the Zisheng Gun or the Bird Gun all fired at the Qing soldiers.

"Artillery battalion, hurry up and knock out the Tartar shield cart for Lao Tzu, and they must not be allowed to fill in the trenches." Pang Gang knew that if the third trench was filled, it would be even more difficult for them to defend.

With Pang Gang's order, the gunners were also desperate to fire ammunition forward, after firing an average of four rounds of shells, the flowering shells in the artillery camp had long been exhausted, at this time they could only helplessly fire solid bullets and scattered bullets, even so they could not resist the gradual advance of the Qing soldiers.

Under the onslaught of the Qing soldiers regardless of casualties, in less than an hour, the third trench of the Ming army was filled with countless mud and corpses of the Qing soldiers, and countless Qing soldiers with heavy shields, swords and guns abandoned the shield carts covering and roared towards the Ming army, in their opinion, this distance of less than seventy paces They only need one charge to drown the Ming army's camp.

Pang Gang was also on the front line at this time, leading the riflemen to fire desperately at the Qing army, and the Mini rifle gave the Qing soldiers a huge loss at close range, but the Qing soldiers seemed to be crazy, regardless of the casualties, one followed by one with a heavy shield and rushed forward desperately, their idea was very simple, that is, as long as they rushed to the Ming army, it was victory......
