Since breaking through the Hejian defense line, Zhu Yongxing is still working very seriously on the surface, but his heart has been relaxed. This state of mind is involuntary, and perhaps even he is not aware of it. Just like a sports game, after the score is far ahead, you can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sometimes even if you repeatedly remind yourself not to relax, your body will not obey.

But now, this relaxation is harmless, after all, it is only physical and mental, and not the entire military operation. Moreover, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no hope of turning the tables, at least the defeat in the Guannai was already decided.

A heavy snowfall made it more difficult for the Ming army to pursue, and also made the Qing army's front and rear attacks and the chance of breaking through the obstacles became slim.

Human corpses, horse corpses, knives and guns, flags, all covered with snow. Red blood and black craters were mixed in. And the breastwork built by the snowdrift is still impregnable. No, to be precise, it should be that the three blocking lines composed of muskets, grenades, artillery, and rockets of the Ming army are still difficult to cross.

It's not that the Qing army is not desperate enough, just by looking at the dense arrows on the chest wall made of snow, and the corpses of the Qing soldiers who were rebuilt by the Ming army, you can know the fierceness of the battle. However, the firepower of the Ming army was too dense and sharp, especially the power of firearms, which was fully exerted in the positional warfare.

It is difficult to win in field battles, and positional warfare is even more uncertain. The Qing army finally found that they no longer had any advantage in front of the fully armed Ming army. In other words, although they can use their maneuver and speed to fight if they want to fight, and go if they avoid war, they will not have any good results if they have to fight head-to-head with the Ming army.

But now, the Qing army had to fight the Ming army in the same dignified battle that they had tried so hard to avoid. Otherwise, they would not be able to break through the resistance of the Ming army and return home. In terms of numbers, the Qing army did not have an advantage; In terms of equipment, firearms are more powerful; Attacking and defending, obviously the latter is more advantageous.

The silence was suddenly broken again. The shouting and howling, the fierce musket shooting, mixed with the roar of artillery, hundreds of flintlock muskets fired, six guns spewed out 700 scattered bullets, the rushing crowd of people seemed to suddenly hit an invisible wall, splashing countless blood flowers, countless Qing soldiers overturned, and the shout became a wail in the blink of an eye. The deafening roar was like thunder, and the rockets passing through the air carried a terrifying scream, and the dazzling flames were so dense that they were too dense to count, instantly shattering the madness of the Qing soldiers.

The fire of the Ming army is even more intense! Dutong Ge Chuha closed his eyes in pain. Yes, in the beginning of the offensive, the Ming army relied mainly on muskets and a small number of artillery. But when he got reinforcements and reorganized the attack, the Ming army was obviously not idle, and heavy weapons were constantly being transported.

Ge Chuha has already seen some characteristics of the Ming army, that is, the Ming army pays more attention to the mobility and portability of artillery, and there are almost no bulky Hongyi cannons. Obviously, such equipment greatly strengthened the field firepower of the Ming army, but lacked the ability to attack fortified positions. But such a deficiency is basically nothing to use for the Qing army, which is eager to break through the Ming army's interception.

Moreover, judging from the number of the Ming army, it was only a lot more than the Qing army that broke through. Ge Chuha's confidence is sinking into the ice cave, even if he breaks through the three ring lines of defense in front of him, how many lives will it take to fill the river?
