Shang Kexi was surprised at the same time, and the chief officer of the Tuanshan Army, who was supervising the battle on the front line of the charge, was happy. In the past, the Tuanshan army only threw twenty steps away, and there was no way, and those soldiers at the beginning were still hungry for a few months or even a month ago, so how could they have such good physical fitness?

Now it is different, after several years of training of the Tuanshan Army, especially the recent year of formal training, the soldiers' combat skills have improved a lot. In addition, with the improvement of food, such as the supply of meat, cattle and goat's milk, the physical fitness of the soldiers has also risen to a higher level -- this first wave of thunder offensive in the palm of the hand is naturally the complete victory of the Tuanshan army.

But the two Tartars also have palm mines, and after they were bombarded, they quickly reacted and threw out a large number of palm mines.

Of course, the Tuanshan Army inevitably suffered casualties, but fortunately, it was a preemptive strike on its own side, and the Tartar reaction was always half a beat slower, although some palm mines were thrown, but a large number of soldiers behind them could not be thrown - because the two armies finally made "zero distance" contact and began hand-to-hand combat!

Due to the staggered teeth of the soldiers on both sides, the thunder in the palm of the hand can no longer be thrown.

For a time, the two sides killed in the dark, bloody and bloody!

After the hand-to-hand combat began, many of the two Tartars drew their sabers and screamed and slashed like mad dogs with chicken blood.

Seeing that the two armies had begun to fight hand-to-hand, Dorgon couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. As long as you enter hand-to-hand combat, the number of people can play a decisive role, is it the so-called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands? Therefore, he made a decision immediately and ordered all the Han army flags to be pressed.

In fact, even if Dolgon did not give the order, Shang Kexi would have to increase his troops. There are more than 30,000 people in the Han military banner going south this time. Only 10,000 men had just gone into battle -- after the consumption of muskets and mines in their palms, the Han army had obviously suffered greater losses. On the scene, it turned out that the number of the previous 5,000-strong Tuanshan army was more than the previous 10,000-strong Han army banner!

Soon, all the Han army flags were put into battle. Izawa's 4,000 men are in danger!

"Pan Batian on the left flank, the whole army is assaulting!" The tension that had been paying attention to the situation of the battle also immediately made a decision and completely threw the left flank troops into the battlefield.

Both the Tuanshan Army and the Qing Army had new forces to join, and the scale of the battle began to expand.

It didn't take long for Shang Kexi to find that the situation was not good, and it seemed that the more than 20,000 people on his side could not withstand the attack of less than 10,000 people in the Tuanshan army.

The soldiers of the Tuanshan Army were all extremely brave, completely subverting Shang Kexi's view of the Tuanshan Army's hand-to-hand combat ability. You know, if it was before. As long as it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the Ming army is basically crushed at the touch of a button, and there is no combat effectiveness at all. Later, the Tuanshan Army rose strongly and beat the Jurchen master, relying on nothing more than the sharpness of firearms!

Sweat drops the size of beans appeared on Shang Kexi's head, and he clearly saw that the burning sticks of the Tuanshan Army—uh, no, flintlock pistols. It seems to be equipped with a sharp knife, and it is particularly powerful to stab.

The banner soldiers of the Han army used steel knives in hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers of the Tuanshan army used sharp blades mounted on the muzzles of flintlock pistols -- there is a way that is an inch long and an inch strong. It looked like a shortened version of a spear, and it was obviously better than the steel knife used for the second tartar.

Of course, Shang Kexi didn't know that this thing was called a "bayonet". Tuanshan Fort was developed half a year ago, and now it is already equipped by the whole army.

Individual man-portable weapons are limited. Even the flintlock muskets of this era lagged far behind those of later generations. The ultimate hand-to-hand combat is also inevitable. The Tartar carried a flintlock pistol, an ammunition pack, twenty rounds of palm mines, and a steel knife that was not too long. This is already the limit of what soldiers can carry, and it basically meets the needs of battle.

However, the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army were different, because they used bayonets in hand-to-hand combat and did not need to carry other cold weapons, so they could carry another weapon that was very useful in hand-to-hand combat.

Wheel Torch!

At this point in the battle, as long as a gunshot rang out on the battlefield, it meant that a second Tartar was killed by the Rotor Fire of the Tuanshan Army. Because this thing is only available to the Tuanshan army, not to the enemy.

However, hand-to-hand combat is hand-to-hand combat after all, even if the Tuanshan Army has the advantage, it is impossible to be unscathed, but the battle loss ratio is now basically four to one, and the balance of the battlefield has begun to tilt towards the Tuanshan Army!

Shang Kexi couldn't hold his breath anymore, he sent heralds to Dolgon of the Chinese army three times in a row to ask for help, but he got Dolgon's order but it has not changed - resist, those who dare to retreat, will be killed.

The battle on the left flank lasted for half an hour, and the Han army's flag formation was on the verge of collapse several times, and it was only supported by Shang Kexi personally leading the battle team to cut and kill the deserters. However, as time went by, Shang Kexi could no longer hold down the position, and the two Tartars of the Han army who were fighting in front fled back in large numbers, and it was useless to kill the steel knives of the supervising team!

How could Dolgon not see this situation at a glance?

In the end, even Duoduo personally came to find Dolgon in front of the Chinese army, saying that if no more reinforcements were sent, the Han army would be dead and there would be cannon fodder......

Dolgon also knew that the situation was critical, and the 30,000 Han military banners on the right flank were basically abolished -- the reimbursement of the establishment system!

However, this is an egg?!

It was at this time that the Jurchen Eight Banners appeared! More than 10,000 people in that mountain army also suffered casualties, and more importantly, after fighting for so long, their physical strength was definitely not exhausted!

Dolgon was waiting for this moment, he no longer sat back and watched the cannon fodder being swept around, and finally gave the order: "Assault the whole army!" ”

After this order was given, more than 200 new thousand-pound furlong cannons that were in front of the Tartar army immediately roared!

As soon as the Tartar artillery was fired, the pressure on the side of the Tuanshan Army was suddenly great, and Wan Zhi, who was in charge of the front-line command, shouted: "Disperse, lie down!" ――”

The most advanced soldiers of the Chinese army who faced the Tartar artillery immediately scattered and lay down, trying to minimize the artillery damage as much as possible.

At the same time, the more than 100 howitzers that the Tuanshan Army brought with the army this time also began to wield, and the artillery that the two sides had been hiding and covering now all opened fire!

The heaviest casualties inflicted in a short period of time since the beginning of the war began to occur - artillery was the king of war, even in this era artillery was far less powerful than in modern times.

The Qing army used a new type of Furlong cannon purchased from the West, and this time the army carried a thousand catties of Furlong cannons, and the distance with the greatest lethality was one mile, and now the distance between the two Chinese armies was two miles, although it was also within the range of artillery, but the power was really to be discounted.

Even so, this improved thousand-pound Furlong machine gun also caused a lot of casualties to the middle army of the Tuanshan Army.

There is a reason why the two sides did not shell as soon as they came up, but waited until now to open fire...... (To be continued.) )
