Rumble –

"Rush! Rush in, behead one level, and reward two taels of silver! ”

While the Qing infantry attack was thwarted, the two Qing cavalry of Niu Lu were rushing towards the side wooden fence that had been blown down by the Hongyi cannons.

The two leading Niu Lu Zhangjing took the lead, raising their sabers and shouting with all their might, and the cavalry under his command all shouted wildly, rushing head-on into the range of two hundred paces of the flintlock pipers.

The 120 Cossack infantrymen who were deployed on their offensive line were not intimidated by the frontal cavalry charge, and immediately raised their guns and pulled the trigger after the cavalry had rushed two hundred paces.

Bang bang bang –

The running Qing cavalry only saw a few flashes of fire in front of them, and the smoke quickly shrouded the trench, The next second, several people in the cavalry queue were shot, screaming and falling off the horse, but this did not affect the morale of the Qing cavalry, they lowered their bodies and tried to stick their bodies on the horse's back, so as to reduce the possibility of being shot, and at the same time speed up the running speed of the war horse.

In less than a minute, the Qing cavalry rushed into a distance of less than twenty-five meters from the Cossack infantry, but in the next moment, the vision suddenly changed, and the horses running in front stepped into the air, neighing and falling into the trap.

The cavalry behind saw that the robe in front of them had been hit, and it was too fast to stop the war horse, so they could only clamp the horse's belly and control the war horse to jump over the trap pit that the person turned over on his back, and jumped to the opposite side.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief after they landed, the oncoming rifle projectiles flew over them, piercing through their armor, and the lead projectiles burrowed into their bodies, stirring up the flesh around them, and the cavalry fell from their horses with a scream.

In addition to facing the fire of the Cossack infantry in the trench, the Qing cavalry who jumped over the horse pit also had to be killed by the bird gunners and archers behind the trenches.

The cavalry at the back couldn't help but be frightened when they saw this, and they couldn't care about the life and death of the two Niu Lu Zhangjing who fell into the horse pit first, so they hurriedly turned their horses' heads and retreated in the direction they came.

Seeing the retreat of the Qing army, the Cossack infantry hurriedly jumped out of the trench, stepped forward to take away the cavalry left by the Qing army, and replenished the guns of the Qing army that had not yet been raised in the trap pit.

In the Qing army's main formation, Jin Li, who was sitting firmly in the army, looked at the cavalry who fled back in embarrassment, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he sent out two Niu Lu 600 cavalry, and when he came back, there were less than 200 people left, and the two Niu Lu Zhangjing was lost in it - this is simply a great loss!

In a fit of rage, although Jin Li did not put the fleeing cavalry to death, he still ordered them to be arrested, stripped of their armor, and publicly whipped in front of the army after the battle, as a punishment for their crime of abandoning their commander and fleeing back without permission.

Just after Jin Li gave the order, before the cavalry who were like mourning were arrested, several deafening shelling sounds suddenly sounded in the direction of the rebel camp.

Seeing that more and more Qing troops crossed the trap and killed the chariot formation, they removed the wooden planks blocking the artillery, and ignited the fuse, and then the twelve falcon cannons and eight 12-pounder infantry guns fired almost at the same time, bombarding countless small shotguns at the Qing army that was killing the chariot formation!

As soon as the shotgun came out, it eroded dozens of meters!

Thousands of shotguns shrouded all the Qing soldiers in front of him like a big net, and all the soldiers who were hit by the shotguns, regardless of the equipment on his body, were blasted into a sieve in an instant, and the kind of dense phobia would die on the spot.

Because I didn't know that there was artillery deployed in the rebel army's formation, the Qing soldiers and soldiers were all crowded together, and the 3,000 banner army and 6,000 Baoyi who launched the attack were directly damaged by this round of artillery bombardment.

And then ......

The Qing army was defeated.

Not only the 9,000 Qing troops who launched the attack, but also the 3,000 Qing troops who had not been mobilized in the back saw that the attack in front was thwarted after Jin Li fainted, and the army's Mel Zhangjing (deputy general) took over the command in danger, gathered the less than 4,000 defeated troops who had retreated, and withdrew to the north bank of Cangxi in an orderly manner.

After this battle, the Qing army was greatly shaken!

In less than an hour, there were less than 4,000 of the 9,000 Qing troops who launched the attack, and it was no wonder that Jin Li fainted on the spot after seeing that scene.

Not to mention Jin Li, Chen Jin and Zhang Yingmeng, who heard the bad news, almost fainted on the spot.

At first, they couldn't believe the bad news, and they looked at the retreating rout with luck, but when they saw the soldiers who were almost all bloody and dejected, their hearts were half cold.

Chen Jin knew that he was finished!

Not only is he finished, but his whole family is going to be finished!

The Han army had such a big casualty in the red flag, it must not be able to hide it, first there was the loss of Quanzhou, and there was also a deception to cover the court audition, such a big crime was enough to put him and his family in prison, and the angry imperial uncle regent Dolgon was very likely to put him to death!

Thinking of this fate, Chen Jin's face instantly turned gray, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the guards behind him supported him in time, otherwise, the coach would fall limply in front of everyone, and the morale of the entire army would be fatal!

Facing the inquiring eyes of the generals, Chen Jin wanted to faint like Jin Li, but he still resisted, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Block the news, and do everything to prevent the withdrawn soldiers from telling others the news on the battlefield." ”

After the words fell, he paused, and said: "Repair for one day, tomorrow the whole army will cross the Cangxi River and launch a decisive battle against the thief army." ”

The generals looked at each other, but they still clenched their fists and promised, and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

Afterwards, Chen Jin returned to his main tent, and it didn't take long for Chen Jin's roars and scoldings to resound in the main tent, as well as the screams and begging for mercy from the attendants.

On the other hand, although Chen Jin ordered to block the news, but the appearance of the red flag rout and was watched by many people, and when the Qing generals wanted to block the news according to the military order, it was too late, and many soldiers already knew that the righteous army had a sharp weapon that could take thousands of lives at one time, and even developed into a righteous army that could summon heavenly thunder and blast the attacking Qing soldiers into ashes!

In addition, the news that the sailors who participated in the attack were completely annihilated by the Zheng sailors in Meizhou Bay also spread at this time, and for a while, the people in the Qing army camp were panicked and their morale was low.
