The cavalry was at the end, and the infantry did not show the appearance of losing their armor, even if there were green battalion soldiers who were frightened and wanted to run around and disturb the morale of the army, they were directly cut down by the overseer team to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the morale of the army.

Anyway, these Han soldiers of the green battalion are not comrades in the eyes of these warlords composed of Manchurian iron cavalry, and they are not soft at all.

The Han soldiers of the Green Battalion will not be dragged to the Tartars as cannon fodder if they have blood, so they can only endure it.

Although the 200,000 officers and soldiers under Tan Tai's command were quite frustrated in this battle, they did not mess up their positions and returned to Wuqiao Town smoothly.

The march of 200,000 troops is naturally more than 200,000, and there are also civilian doctors, medical officials, etc., and the total should not be less than 500,000.

At this time, Wuqiao Town became Tan Tai's base camp.

Hundreds of thousands of Qing troops are all gathered here, camped, stretching for dozens of miles, and the small town of Wuqiao is now also crowded.

Most of them are green battalion soldiers flying with green flags, these green battalion soldiers are not afraid of the Ming army at this time, but only afraid of their Eight Banner masters, who saw the Manchurian iron cavalry galloping into the town, instinctively trembling.

The 1st Corps of the 1st Guards Army also did not pursue at this time.

Six infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, and two artillery battalions have also been withdrawn to the camp at Guantun Fort for temporary rest.

The 1st Corps of the Guards Army also did not get carried away by the successful shelling of the afternoon.

At this time, everyone was silent, and there was a sense of blood that had not yet tasted the blood of war.

Suffice it to say, today's first contact seems to be just a warm-up.

The Guards were not satisfied, and the Qing army led by Tan Tai was not willing to return in vain.

On the third day, Tan Tai continued to personally lead 150,000 troops.

This time, Tan Tai also learned to be a little more obedient, and also carried out a round of artillery bombardment at the beginning of the war.

The main artillery of the Qing army was a red-coated cannon, which could only be fired at the castle because it was heavy and heavy, so in the first round of shelling, Guantun Fort was knocked down half of the city wall.

However, the command structure and battalions of the 1st Guards Corps have all been transferred out of Guantun Fort.

The entire Guantun Fort was blown up by the red-coated cannon and nothing was found.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had limited manufacturing capacity, and the red-coated cannon was cumbersome and difficult to transport.

Therefore, Tan Tai only brought a hundred red-coated cannons, and did not dare to waste shells, so after a round of shelling, he ordered five thousand iron cavalry to rush over.

However, it was not he himself who led the 5,000 iron horsemen, but his brother Tan Bu.

Tan Bu led 5,000 iron cavalry towards the main camp of the 1st Corps of the Guards, and two of his 1,000-strong iron cavalry rushed directly to the two battalions of cavalry of the Guards, while the remaining about 3,000 iron cavalry rushed directly to the infantry camp of the Guards.

This Tan Bunai is a young general, and he is also Bayala, he has always been brave and invincible, and now when he sees six infantry battalions of the Guards with a total of 30,000 people in front of him, he is not afraid at all, and intends to use his speed to directly disrupt the formation of the Guards infantry battalion.

Liu Qian smiled coldly, he could see that the Qing army's iron cavalry in front of him wanted to directly disrupt his infantry camp, but he did not order the artillery to stop the cavalry from attacking, but ordered the infantry battalion to take over the formation to kill the enemy, and at the same time let the artillery disperse to increase the striking surface.

Liu Qian was already a veteran who had fought with the Qing cavalry many times, so he could naturally guess Tan Tai's tactical thoughts.

Soon after Liu Qian's order was issued, Tan Tai also ordered the 100,000 green battalions under his command to form 20 battalions and fan-shaped towards the main camp of the First Corps of the Guards.

Tan Tai now knew that the artillery of the 1st Guards Corps was sharp, so he thought of a way to attack the infantry and cavalry at the same time.

As long as the Guards use artillery against their own cavalry, then their own Qing infantry can complete the encirclement of the Guards.

If the Guards used artillery against their own infantry, their elite Qing cavalry could disrupt the Ming army's infantry battalion and cause it a major defeat.

The three infantry battalions of the Guards surrounded them first and formed a hollow array, leaving only one gate in the direction of the Qing army's iron cavalry charge.

Tan Buqin, the Tartar of the Qing army, led three thousand kills to rush, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, staring at the infantry of the Guards with gloomy eyes, while his money rat tail also flew up, and his longbow was taken out, ready to open the Great Qing Bow and hunt the Guards directly.

However, the infantry of the Guards did not wait for the cavalry to come this time, but ran directly to meet the Qing iron cavalry in this hollow array way.

These three infantry battalions are all the main battalions of the First Corps of the First Guards Army, and most of them are veterans, who did not panic at all when the cavalry rushed in, and went out calmly one by one.

You must know that during their training in the past three years, their daily training was to let the cavalry ride on war horses and wave wooden knives to gallop past them.

At this moment, the infantry of the Guards Army was no longer panicked at all, even if a few infantry were shot under the horses by the Qing army's iron cavalry, they only snorted and did not mess up at all, and the injured were not afraid, because there would be someone to rescue them, and the units at the corps level of the Guards had their own field hospitals and a battalion-sized ambulance team.

The infantry of the Ming army surrounded the Qing army's iron cavalry in an orderly manner, and 10,000 Chongzhen 19-style flintlock muskets were fired in unison.

Chongzhen's 19-style flintlock pistol uses nitrocellulose as a propellant, and the loading speed is particularly fast, plus three rounds of shooting and the continuous fire of the flintlock pistol, the basic gunfire has not stopped.

Suddenly, Tan Bu's three thousand iron horsemen were all bulleted.

A cavalry bullet fell directly from the horse, and was hit by the war horse behind it, breaking its backbone, and making a terrible scream.

And some of them are war horses that roll over on their sides, and then add inertia to directly trip the cavalry on the other side.

The gunfire was loud, and the entire Qing army's iron cavalry formation was in chaos, and the speed was reduced.

The Ming infantry on both sides began to continue to strengthen the formation, under the command of the commanders of each battalion, the first row squatted, the second row half squatted, and the third row stood, and the speed of firing guns and bullets in their hands did not stop.

Since nitrocellulose is used as a propellant, there is no need to worry about the barrel clogging after continuous firing, so the bullets form a barrage of bullets one after another and overturn these cavalry.

At the same time, the infantry in front saw that the Qing army's iron cavalry slowed down, and immediately formed the same formation to shoot head-on.

Tan Bu also wanted to rush from the side with the most heroic Bayara, but as soon as he turned his horse's head, he himself was beaten into a sieve by dozens of bullets.

The rest of the Qing army's iron cavalry was already in a panic and wanted to retreat, not caring about their comrades who were wailing on the ground.

At the same time, the two more than 1,000 iron cavalry that had fought with the cavalry of the two battalions of the Guards and the main purpose was to contain them also immediately turned around and prepared to support the 3,000 Qing cavalry, but at this time, an infantry battalion of the Ming army that was fighting the Qing army's iron cavalry head-on immediately split into two and rushed directly to organize a defensive line to resist these two cavalry.
