The shape of the battlefield changes rapidly, and it will never develop like the pre-war arrangement, and timely adaptation and adjustment is the test of the commander's level. A slow step, a little later, may cause more losses to the army, and even adversely affect the situation of the war.

On the Yuan Rong car, Wei Junzhong and several staff officers observed the battle situation and saw the adjustment of the Qing army. Battles broke out on the left, right, and middle roads at the same time, and the Qing army was entering the two wings formed by the protrusion of the middle road, and while containing the Ming troops on the left and right flanks, they were also waiting for an opportunity to pinch the salient of the Ming army.

Of course, the Qing troops attacking on the left and right flanks suffered from a crossfire of frontal and flank fire, and heavy casualties were inevitable. In a certain way, this has achieved the purpose of the Ming army's arrangement, but the artillery behind the Qing army's formation is pushing forward, so that Wei Junzhong and others think that it is no longer appropriate to maintain the current formation.

The plan to lure the Qing cavalry to attack did not go well, and it was dull and rigid to continue to wait in the face of Qing artillery fire and let the army suffer casualties. In that case, crush the enemy with iron and fire on the front, and if the enemy's cavalry comes to assault, drown them with a rain of bullets and exploding fire!

The flags have changed, the drums have changed. The Ming army stopped advancing in the middle, and the two wings began to press, attacking and pressing the current Qing army, filling the gap deliberately left before.

The Franco's cannon roared, the musket burst like a bean, and the white smoke rose one after another, then faded and dissipated in the air. The phalanxes on both flanks of the Ming army advanced rapidly, and soon they were about to go hand in hand with the center, leaving less and less opportunities for the Qing army to flank the assault.

Mulima raised his hand into the air and slowly fell, finally without giving the order for the cavalry to attack. He saw the fire of the Qing soldiers on both wings, and the cavalry would be no exception, this seemed to be the vacancy deliberately left by the Ming army, and he didn't want to be fooled.

Because the Ming army's counteroffensive was very sudden, neither side met the enemy in the established positions. It was not possible to set up artillery positions in advance, and there was no suitable high ground on this flat land. Therefore, the heavy artillery of both sides could not play a greater role. In contrast, the Ming army was more prepared, the Francophone in front of the formation, the Tianwei cannon in the array, and the bombardment cannon. All of them are light and easy to carry, and can accompany infantry.

On the other hand, the Qing army was a little hasty, collecting different types of artillery, and the Ming army suddenly counterattacked and lost a lot of forward positions, but it took some time to push it out of the camp.

Mulima was waiting, waiting for the artillery to be pushed to the front, first stopping the offensive of the Ming army, and then looking for an opportunity to counterattack. The cavalry assault was not confined to the flanks, and the enemy battle formations were chaotic and loose. It was also a good time for cavalry to go into battle.

But the situation on the battlefield was beyond Mulima's expectations, just as the Ming army's formation did not attract the Qing cavalry as expected. With the banner of the Ming army changing again, the Ming army took the lead and began artillery bombardment.

A muffled sound sounded in the Ming army's formation, accompanied by clouds of smoke, black shells flew up in the air, crossed the heads of the Ming soldiers, and smashed into the Qing army. The shells fell to the ground with a bang. In addition to smashing and injuring some unlucky Qing soldiers, he was still rolling on the ground. Sparks erupted, followed by a deafening explosion.

The maximum range of the Tianwei cannon is more than a thousand meters, and even Mulima's command position is within the range of the shells. Clouds of black smoke rose and shrapnel shot in the dust, and the well-organized rear ranks of the Qing army were suddenly attacked. Each shell brings the maximum lethal effect.

A cannonball exploded in the ranks of the cavalry, overturning several riders and causing the surrounding horses to fall into terror, neighing and jumping, and there was a burst of confusion.

Is this -- is this the beginning of a general offensive? Mulima's heart sank. Looking far away, several black dots in the air became bigger and bigger, and fell into the Qing army's formation. It can be seen that the Qing soldiers around the landing point of the shells are scurrying in all directions, hoping to stay away from the sparkling shells and the death caused by the explosion. Then, with a bang, there was a bright light, black smoke, and a group of people fell.

The queue in the rear was in chaos, the battle formation in front was fighting, the Fran machine guns and muskets were making a palpitating continuous sound, and the Ming army formation was leveled and began to push and attack.

That's right, the Ming army began a general attack, marked by the roar of the sky-bombing cannons in the array, and large and small shells fell in the Qing army's formation, ruthlessly destroying their fighting spirit. The musketeers advanced to the beat of drums, raising their guns again and again to fire volleys, sweeping the enemy in front of them.

Layered attacks, Tianwei cannons, bombardment cannons, Francophiles, flintlock guns, bayonets, from a thousand meters to several meters, almost the entire battle formation of the Qing army was hit. A shell fell, close at hand, forcing Mulima to change his command position.

With a loud bang, an ammunition truck supplying artillery was swept by the explosion, and the flames burst out, kicking up thick black smoke in the Qing army's formation, and the scattered solid shells and splashed wood fragments covered the distance of dozens of meters, and the crater was full of severed limbs and damaged weapons.

The battle formation of the Qing army was somewhat chaotic, the bombardment of the Tianwei artillery, the blocking of the bombardment cannon, the sweep of the Franco, and the accumulation of muskets, so that the Qing soldiers who were fighting with the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but they could not get effective reinforcements. In the sound of drums and trumpets, the speed of the Ming army's advance accelerated, stepping on the corpses of the Qing soldiers, stepping on the blood-stained land, pressing forward, pressing forward......

Since you can't lure out the Qing cavalry first, you can use your strength to win. Taking advantage of the advantageous situation, the Ming army brazenly began the rhythm of the general offensive.

In the field, this was the first time that the Ming army was in full firepower. Well, that's not all, a large number of heavy artillery pieces are being dragged forward from behind along the gap of tens of meters left by the phalanx and the phalanx, and they are about to join this battle of winning by firepower.

Blood and flesh rose in front of him like rain and mist, and a few columns away on the right, half of a musketeer's body was gone, a cloud of smoke flashed, and another musketeer rolled to the ground with his thighs in his arms. His thigh was severed by Qi Gen, revealing the white bones inside, and fountain of blood poured out from the wound and broken leg.

Stumps and flesh were scattered, just like this warrior. After the shells rushed, many soldiers fell to the ground, and the pain was so great that they screamed.

The Qing army was at a disadvantage, but it was not without the power to fight back, and artillery began to fire one after another, bringing casualties to the Ming army.

"Fire and keep going!" The officer hissed and whistled again and again.

The drums are more intense, the gunfire is more rapid, the gaps are constantly filled, and the pace is still firm.

The sound of popping beans rang for a long time, and the Ming army continued to fire fierce volleys, gunpowder smoke gushing out of the guns, and in front of them was a series of screams, and the Qing soldiers continued to fall to the ground, struggling in pain. The ground beneath them was stained red with blood in the blink of an eye. (To be continued......)
