Chapter 226: Kong Youde's Defeat and Retreat and the Whole Army's Attack (Second Update)

At this time, Chen Zilong, Yang Tinglin, Xia Yunyi, Liu Xiyao, Qin Minping and other commanders of the infantry battalion of the Guards Army all looked at the rushing Qing army iron cavalry with solemn faces.

"Remember this time, shoot people and horses first, don't panic, follow orders, whether he is tens of thousands of iron horsemen or thousands of iron horses, as long as the shot is accurate, he can defeat the enemy!"

These commanders reminded the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level under their command one after another.

"If you see it and then fight, shoot people and horses first, especially those of us who are in the front of the Guards, we must first mess up the formation of its cavalry, as long as we mess up its formation, it will not be difficult to defeat the Qing army in front of us!"

Gu Yanwu also gave orders to his soldiers, and first picked up the flintlock pistol and began to aim at the belly of the cavalry of the Qing Army with the help of the protection of the bunker and shield soldiers.

A crackling sound suddenly sounded.

The Guards infantry battalion unceremoniously began to attack the Qing cavalry of the Han army.

After a melee in the morning, the infantry of the Guards was noticeably more calm and accurate in their cavalry operations, and they were able to spot the pulse of shooting men and horses first.

These Qing army iron cavalry were suddenly beaten to the point that people were on their backs, and the Qing army iron cavalry that rushed to the front was directly in chaos!

Kong Tingxun, the son of Kong Youde, also fell down because Wang Fuzhi shot his war horse at this time, and this fall, Wang Fuzhi made up another shot without saying a word.

This Kong Tingxun was killed on the spot! was beaten to the point that his brains burst out.

Kong Youde also saw this scene at this time, and couldn't help but be very angry: "My son! ”

At the same time, the second row of field artillery also launched an artillery attack at the same time, blowing up the approaching Qing iron cavalry.

A quarter of an hour later, all the two thousand iron horsemen sent by Kong Youde were killed, and he did not dare to advance rashly, and continued to retreat behind the people with his men and horses, looking at the guards with a sad and angry face.

Kong Youde began to give orders, ordering the firearms in front to speed up the advance of the captured people, so as to counterattack the infantry of the Guards as soon as possible.

At this time, the third platoon of field artillery began to attack, directly bombarding the cavalry camp behind Kong Youde.

Kong Youde's Qing army cavalry was once again in chaos, and fled from all directions in a hurry.

Seeing this, Duoduo ordered Wakda to lead 300 Manchurian iron cavalry to supervise the battle and stabilize the Qing army's iron cavalry camp composed of the eight banners of the Han army.

Wakda, the general of the Qing army, rushed up with 300 armored soldiers, ready to slash and kill the Qing army's iron cavalry that began to break and flee, so as to stabilize the army's heart.

But at this time, the field artillery battalion of the Guards in the first row dropped hundreds of bombs again, and Wakda was hit by dozens of iron sheets in the abdomen and face on the spot, fell off his horse, and was directly killed!

And his three hundred batches of armor soldiers also fell to the ground countless times, and only a dozen or so horsemen quickly retreated.

The first row of field artillery continued to bombard an open field between the Manchurian cavalry and the Qing Han cavalry.

At the same time, the second and third rows of field artillery also followed closely behind the shelling, forcing the Manchurian iron cavalry and the iron cavalry of Kong Youde's Han army to be unable to merge.

And Liu Fangliang of the Guards took the opportunity and Liu Zhaoji each led 5,000 Guards Iron Cavalry to kill them, and crushed Kong Youde's firearms battalion on the spot.

Although the Kongyoude Firearms Battalion also formed three platoons, it turned to the infantry firearms battalion that was obviously not as fast as the Guards Battalion, and after being disorganized, they also rushed to flee.

The fleeing Qing firearms were directly shot by the infantry of the Guards, while the civilians were directly let go by the infantry battalion.

Duoduo and Kong Youde's plan to use the people as a meat shield failed, and Kong Youde couldn't help but be furious, and directly led the remaining tens of thousands of Qing army iron cavalry to kill the cavalry and infantry of the Guards.

In the face of the Qing army's iron cavalry rushing, the field artillery battalion of the Guards immediately began to retreat, because the field artillery of the Ming Dynasty was pulled by a carriage, and the shaft was also improved, so the mobility was very strong, and after quickly retreating to the best range, it began to continue to strike at the Qing army's iron cavalry.

The Guards infantry battalion also began to rely on bunkers to shoot at the Qing cavalry.

The rear camp of the Qing cavalry was bombed by artillery, and the front was hit by more than 100,000 flintlock pistols, and the key is that there was a moat between the infantry battalion and the Qing cavalry.

Therefore, even the guards on the north bank of the moat began to fight and retreat into the cavalry ring in order to avoid the advance of the Qing army.

When the Qing cavalry rushed to the front, they could only use bows and arrows to attack the infantry battalion on the south bank of the moat, but they could not directly break through the camp of the infantry battalion.

At this time, there were still some infantry battalions in the outer city of Yangzhou, relying on the ruins that had not yet been destroyed, condescendingly shooting at the Qing army's iron cavalry.

As a result, these tens of thousands of Qing army iron horsemen faced a three-dimensional firepower net attack, and they were beaten to the ground in a moment, and countless Qing army iron horsemen and war horses fell directly into the moat, stirring up countless splashes.

Kong Youde had no choice but to give his life, and the key was that the archers and their own infantry came over with ladders, preparing to forcibly cross the river and build bridges and attack the Guards infantry on the city walls.

However, under the attack of tens of thousands of flintlock muskets, these infantry could only become live targets of the guards like the cavalry of the Qing army, and were shot to the ground one by one.

In less than half an hour, Kong Youde's infantry and cavalry frantically retreated, but as soon as they retreated, they were hit by the infantry field artillery of the Guards, which directly hit Kong Youde and had to flee on horseback.

"Your Majesty, now that the Qing army is in chaos with Kong Youde, Weichen requests that the whole army immediately attack the Qing army's Duoduo Division, and leave some cavalry to pursue Kong Youde's defeated army!"

Zhou Yuji was busy asking for instructions.

"You just give me the order, don't let Duoduo go!"

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Zhou Yuji immediately walked to the front and ordered the trumpeters to immediately blow the order for the whole army to attack, and the order flag in his hand pointed directly to the Duoduo Department.

Seeing this, the battalions of the Guards immediately pulled out of their camp and rushed towards the headquarters of Duoduo.

Liu Fangliang and Liu Zhaoji each led a corps of 10,000 cavalry to attack on the left and right sides first, blocking the retreat of the Duoduo Division.

At the same time, the twelve infantry battalions of the First and Third Armies outside the city immediately rushed towards the Duoduo Division.

The remaining remnants of Kong Youde were suggested by Zhou Yuji to be pursued by 10,000 cavalry of the Second Army of the Guards led by He Xinqin, the chief officer of the Second Army of the Guards.

And Zhou Yuji personally led the rest of the troops in the city to pursue the Duoduo Department.

At this time, Duoduo also noticed the formation ahead, he didn't expect that the Qing army's iron cavalry composed of Han people was so unbearable, and it would be chaotic so quickly.

Duoduo also knew that although the combat power of 10,000 Manchurian iron cavalry was invincible, the tiger could not withstand the wolves, and he was busy taking the Manchurian iron cavalry in the direction of Huai'an.

At this time, Liu Fangliang and Liu Zhaoji had each brought 10,000 cavalry of the Guards to kill.

The earth-shattering thunder exploded directly around the Manchurian Iron Cavalry, prompting the Manchurian Iron Cavalry of the Duoduo Department to retreat.

However, Meler, who was lucky not to die, was hit by the earth-shattering thunder again because of his war horse at this time, so that he himself flew out directly and was trampled into pulp on the spot by the cavalry of the Guards.
