Rockets with a scream, spewing smoke and fire, swept through the sky, and penetrated into the array of Qing soldiers, explosive bombs, smoke bombs, poisonous smoke bombs, and incendiary bombs...... The blows continued, and the array of the Qing army became more and more disorganized.

The fighting in the vicinity was even more fierce and brutal, and the two sides fought to the death around the artillery positions of the Ming army on the top of the hill.

The Tianwei cannon and the bombardment cannon fired explosive bombs, the field artillery and the Francophone spewed out large and small solid projectiles, and the carefully arranged Ming army musketeers rose and fell, and in the hoarse shouts of the officers, in the shrill whistles, the muskets continued to shoot, and the smoke and fire did not disperse.

"The captives use more sharp formations, retreat for a while, and come again and again, each formation is as heavy as a formation." The current Qing army is like this, the dead soldiers are in front, the sharp soldiers are behind, the archers on both wings, and the soldiers who charge into battle are spears and halberds.

While storming the artillery positions of the Ming army, and on the other hand, launching a diversion attack on the battle array of the Ming army, the Qing army really hated the Ming artillery on the mountain, and controlled the main road, like a stalk in the throat, and it was not enough to change the situation unless it was uprooted.

However, the firepower of the Ming army was too strong, with a large number of large and small artillery, and even more formed rocket units, from far to near, from artillery to guns, full of layered strikes, so that the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, and the sequence of attacks was disjointed from time to time.

The cannon roared, the sound of the gun burst beans, and in the deafening sound, thousands of projectiles, in the thick white smoke, like a rain of metal, slashed their heads and covered their faces towards the Qing soldiers. The explosion was even more violent, and in the loud noise, there were dead and wounded all around.

People shouted and neighed, and in countless blood arrows, the Qing soldiers stormed, retreated, attacked again, and were defeated again. Whether it is the artillery position on the hill or the hollow phalanx of several Ming troops, they are like huge reefs standing in the waves, smashing the waves of impact.

Jueluo Orha gritted his teeth, and a sadness swelled up in his heart. A veteran in his fifties, he has been promoted step by step from a small soldier. It can be said that he has experienced a hundred battles, but in the face of such shocking iron and fire, he also has a premonition of defeat.

Orha, who experienced the Battle of Songjin that year, was not unaware of the power of the Ming army's firearms, and at that time, in the face of the Ming army's vehicle array, the Qing army was also repeatedly defeated, and it was difficult to resist. It's just that the current Ming army is several times stronger and sharper than at that time. Moreover, the current shape shì is not comparable to that time, and I want to repeat the victory of Songjin. For Orha, it has become an impossible task.

Among the projectiles flying all over the sky, many Qing soldiers were beaten to minced meat on the spot, and more people and horses were densely packed with blood holes. The terrible howl in front of the battle, even the sound of guns and cannons could not be suppressed, and countless bloody and crazy horses rolled and collided in all directions.

"Boom, boom. Boom ......" A series of explosions caused Orha's pupils to shrink suddenly, and the flames and smoke rose. Broken iron and gravel flew horizontally, and the Qing soldiers were blown up on their backs, and a group of ghosts cried wolves.

Blossom bombs! Orha had already bitten her lip, and a salty smell permeated her mouth. The firepower of the Ming army was dazzlingly powerful, but the stunned formation made people helpless. Either fight hard, or keep retreating under pressure. The Qing army had too few options.

In a roundabout attack, the strength of the army is a problem, and the more critical is the combat strength of the Ming army, with more than 3,000 people at the regimental level, forming a formation to defend itself. It is not something that the Qing army can eat lightly. When fighting against the Ming army in Shandong, Orha was impressed, and it was very profound. In this way, even if the light cavalry lacking heavy firearms succeeds in a roundabout, how can it overcome the Ming army that is holding on to the city?

Defeated but not defeated, surrounded but not fled. This kind of fighting style is exactly what the Qing army wants to avoid, and fighting people, even if it is one for two, one for three, is by no means something that a mere Manchurian can bear. And the Ming army is exactly such a way of playing. Once the troops were surrounded by the Qing cavalry, they would shrink and form formations, release contact fireworks, resist desperately, and never surrender.

The smoke was filled, the guns roared, and the frightened neighing of the horses, the death-defying screams of the soldiers, and the frenzied horses jumping around them. Orha also desperately grabbed the reins of his horse, and the once docile war horse also became violent.

The rockets of the Ming army relied on the advantage of range, and although the accuracy was very poor, they continued to attack the rear of the Qing army. The fire, smoke, and sound made more and more war horses go crazy, and the battle formation showed more and more signs of chaos.

Under the sun, Orha felt the heat all over his body, the choking smell of gunsmoke, mixed with the pungent smell of blood, inhaled into his lungs, it was so uncomfortable. The smoke rising from the surroundings made the faces of the people around them a little blurred, and their expressions were either panicked, frightened, or dazed, or gritted their teeth, but none of them proposed a way to win.

Perhaps, it is a must-lose situation, right? Orha shook her head bitterly. Jinzhou had less than 50,000 troops, and only more than 20,000 Manchurian Eight Banners could fight to the death. And these horses and horses also have to divide the troops, the mouth of the Xiaoling River south of Niangniang Palace, also known as the East Sea Mouth, should be garrisoned to guard against the Ming army's sailors; Further afield, there are also the estuaries of the Daling River and the Liao River, which must also be defended by soldiers, and they are also worried about the landing of the Ming army's naval division behind the Jinzhou side. On the Yiju side, the movement of the Chahar Department is unknown, but it also urgently dispatched a group of men and horses to guard against the threat from the northwest.

In this way, the Qing army in Songjin was less than 40,000, and when fighting against the Ming army in front of them, not only was the firepower greatly inferior, but even the troops were insufficient. was forced by the Ming army to come over to the camp step by step, and immediately showed signs of difficulty.

There was a loud "boom", and the explosion was close at hand, and Orha tried his best to make the frightened war horse temporarily stable. The smoke cleared, and the black craters were lying or lying on the ground with the dead and wounded, and the fierce warrior Keta covered his face, rolling and howling on the ground, blood constantly flowing from his fingers, and shrapnel blinded his eyes.

Just become a waste? Orha didn't seem to believe it, it was a vest, and he immediately stepped down to fight with outstanding skills, and his bow and arrow shooting were extremely accurate, so he fell?

The sound of gunfire seemed to be a little sparse, and the Qing army attacking the hill left countless corpses and wounded soldiers, and retreated in a wolf manner. The distance extending from the front of the position to Li Xu was the strike range of the Ming army, and the defeated soldiers stepped on the corpses, bypassed the craters, and gathered in a blank and numb manner towards the Zhangjing Daxu Banner.

Can't fight anymore! Although Orha was extremely painful, he also realized that this counterattack on Matsuyama was a complete failure. Continuing to fight forcibly will only result in more casualties among soldiers, but there is no hope of success.

The gong sounded, and the Qing troops on the battlefield retreated one after another, unwilling to stay for a moment. The Ming army did not pursue, gathered the wounded soldiers, and maintained the integrity of the formation. After this battle, the casualties paid were not small, but Songshan was completely stabilized, and the Qing army could only retreat across the Daughter River and stick to the last fortress - Jinzhou.
