Putting aside the deployment of the main forces of the two armies for the time being, let's take a look at the hill occupied by Shumo first!

Although the commanders of both armies invariably ignored the hill occupied by Shumo, at this moment, a fierce battle suddenly broke out on this hill.

When Zhang Liang's Han army banner soldiers and Korean musketeers relied on the cover of shrubs and rocks to touch the hill in a straggler shape, they did achieve miraculous results, and the Qing army was getting closer and closer to the troops on the top of the mountain.

After all, it was only half a night, and it was impossible for the calligraphy and ink department to completely clean the shrubs and weeds on the mountain, so they gave these Qing soldiers a lot of hiding places.

Although the salvo of the Runing Arms still caused a large number of casualties to the Qing soldiers, because the Qing army was relatively scattered, the casualties were independent, so the deterrence of these Qing soldiers was also reduced a lot, making them feel that the threat of the guns was much smaller. Therefore, these Qing troops were able to endure such casualties and still advance.

Watching his soldiers gradually approach the top of the mountain, Zhang Liang, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, was also quite excited. In his opinion, as long as his soldiers got closer, and then endured a round of fire shots, and rushed into the Ming troops on the mountain with all their might, those Ming troops who only had the courage to set off firearms in the distance would definitely collapse.

But at this moment, the Runing Army on the top of the mountain suddenly stopped firing the firearms. These musketeers all retreated to the back of the mountain, and then the six one-pound guns directly fired a salvo of shotguns, although the effect of this shotgun salvo was not very good, but the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front were pressed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Runing troops appeared at the top of the mountain, their number was four hundred, and they were arranged in a phalanx of twenty by twenty, and after a shout, this phalanx rushed directly to the foot of the mountain.

And among these soldiers of the Runing Army. At least nearly 100 soldiers were wearing armor. This armor is not leather armor or cotton armor, but all iron armor. And this iron armor is not the ring arm iron armor or scale armor of the Ming Dynasty, it looks like an iron bucket made up of several pieces of iron sheets, a very strong look, those soldiers are wearing helmets on their heads, and the helmets look like they are also iron. The whole look of an Iron Warrior. This kind of defense makes people feel chilling when they look at it, what else is this fighting?

Shumo, of course, did not think that he could hold this hill with firearms alone, and he had already divided his eight hundred pikemen and axe-gunners into two teams, led by the chief and deputy commanders of this infantry regiment. It is to prepare for a counter-charge at such a time.

And this time it was the regimental deputy of the infantry regiment who led the team, he stood in the right front corner of the phalanx, raised the axe and gun in his hand, and shouted with high spirits: "Brothers, rush!" Then the whole phalanx trotted. He rushed down to the bottom of the mountain. As they ran, the soldiers were still whispering in unison. This actually served as a wartime drum and trumpet. However, it also added an awe-inspiring momentum to this small phalanx.

And those Han army banners and Korean gunners did not expect that the Runing army would take the initiative to attack. Even the firearms that fought back didn't shoot a few shots, because most of these people were still lying on the ground. By the time those people had just reacted, the phalanx of the Runing army had already charged into the formation of the Qing army.

Therefore, the success is also scattered, and the defeat is also scattered. The Han army banner and the Korean musketeers were simply unable to form a formation to resist and face the Qing soldiers in the phalanx. Facing at least seven or eight spear tips, not to mention resisting, they couldn't even escape, because the speed of the Runing army's charge from top to bottom was too fast.

Some nearby North Korean gunners were able to fire a few shots. However, a salvo could not be formed, and the power of the firearm was negligible. Besides, the first few rows of Runing troops were all dressed in iron armor, as long as they lowered their heads, and then heard a "clanging" sound, they were basically safe and sound.

When the Qing army saw that the shooting was ineffective, they were even more panicked, and they didn't know who shouted first: "Run!" Then all the Qing soldiers fled to the foot of the mountain.

But this kind of escape can't raise the speed at all. Not to mention that it takes some time to turn around and escape, there are only a few roads up the mountain, and most of these Qing soldiers have chosen these convenient routes to escape, so they are crowded together.

Dozens of spears stabbed the back of the people running in Zuihou at once. Some desperate Qing soldiers began to wield their weapons, ready to turn back and fight hard, but they couldn't do a complete movement in the squeezing, and there were already a few more blood holes in their chests and abdomen.

The assassination of the Runing soldiers was so easy, they carried out the standard assassination action, all of them moved their arms in a measured manner, and they would not move more than half a foot back and forth, such an assassination had been guaranteed to go deep into the enemy's vital point, and they could be easily pulled out and then assassinated.

There were also some Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to avoid the spears in the first row, but there were also spears in the second and third rows, and the battlefield was chaotic, with constant angry scolding and screams, and among these sounds, the loudest was the rhythm of the Ru Ning army's shouting. Some of the Qing soldiers could not hold on, and they began to use their knives to open the way, and this cannibalistic behavior also made the fleeing Qing troops even more confused.

But the biggest casualties were not in the front of the phalanx. The soldiers of Runing on both sides of the phalanx slashed and killed both sides with axes, guns and waist knives. Many clever Qing soldiers saw the phalanx rushing down like a torrent, and they all jumped to the side of the road to dodge, but at this time, they were all facing away from or sideways facing the phalanx, and they couldn't do any fighting movements at all, so they were slashed and killed by the Runing army with blood splashing. It was a total slaughter.

In this situation, the spearmen in front were like drills, desperately trying to drill the Qing army away, while the axe and spearmen and knife hands in the back were like flying knife wheels, constantly flying, just to tear the wounds that were drilled.

After slashing and killing for a while, it finally exceeded the limit of the Qing army, as if someone was issuing an order, the remaining Qing army suddenly exploded in all directions, everyone dropped their weapons and ran away, jumped into the bushes on the side of the road, and no one was willing to fight with the Runing army anymore.

……

When Zhang Liang looked at his troops at the foot of the mountain and fled from the mountain with rolling and crawling, he was stunned by this sudden change. Until the phalanx of the Runing army rushed to about twenty steps in front of the lug wall, he had not given any order to resist.

It wasn't until the Runing Army stopped in a demonstrative manner and stood up with a dozen musketeers firing a volley at the wall of the rook that Zhang Liang came to his senses in the pain of being thrown to the ground by his own soldiers.

"Shoot the firebolt! Knock them off! Zhang Liang, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly gave an order.

But at this time, the phalanx of the Runing Army had already turned around and swaggered back to the top of the mountain under the order of the regimental deputy. (To be continued......)
