On the battlefield, a chain reaction can affect the entire battle situation.

How true this sentence seems to be on the battlefield in the south of Qiancang Mountain.

In the eyes of the surrendered Green Battalion soldiers, the Manchurian Eight Banners have always been the existence of the gods, they are invincible, no enemy is their opponent, it seems that as long as their figure appears on a battlefield, the balance of victory will tilt to the head of the Qing army.

However.

This law was broken in this obscure battlefield in southern Zhejiang.

The officers and men of the Qing army, who were still fighting with the Ming army, watched the 800 Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry being defeated by the firearms of the Ming army on the way to charge, losing most of them, and fleeing in a hurry.

If it was only the defeat of the Eight Banners of Manchuria that could not make the Qing soldiers lose their fighting spirit and choose to flee, then after the line infantry came out of the smoke of gunpowder, moved towards the flank of the battlefield, and aimed their guns at the Qing soldiers on the flank, the latter suddenly rose with a deep fear.

At the same time, Li Shutai also looked at the Manchurian cavalry who fled back in shock, although those cavalry were frightened by the flintlock guns, but they did not forget the military discipline, and ran all the way to Li Shutai's formation before finally stopping, Li Shutai saw that each of them had a frightened expression, looked around again, and did not find the leading Jia La'e Zhen, and hurriedly asked:

"Where are the Qijikha people?"

"Lord Ziziha?" The Manchurian soldier who was questioned looked around, and when he saw that he didn't see Qijiha's figure, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, and then a soldier who saw Qijiha being shot and killed shouted in a frightened tone: "Lord Qijiha was shot by the Ming people's bird!" ”

Li Shutai listened to the man's shout, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and he didn't care about what to say, let them regroup, and at this time, the flank of the Manchurian cavalry rout just now was already gunfire because of the addition of the line infantry.

The Qing Bird Gunner, who did not participate in the melee battle, intended to shoot at the Ming army, but the Bird Gunner was no match for the flintlock smoothbore gun in terms of range or rate of fire, and the Qing Bird Gunner did not even hold on to three volleys before fleeing in a hurry because of the huge casualties.

After defeating the Qing army's birds, the line infantry did not charge, but continued to advance at an orderly pace after loading in place, firing at the flank of the Qing army in fierce battle.

Li Shutai reacted quickly, as early as after the Manchurian cavalry was defeated, he sent reserves to press the flank, intending to rush to reinforce before the flank was repulsed, but the flank rout was faster than he imagined, he watched the flank be crushed by the line infantry, first a few people fled, and then more and more people joined the fleeing army.

At this time, it was not even half an hour before the battle began.

"Damn, how is that possible?" Li Shutai's whole person was Spartan, he clenched his fists tightly, and looked at the Ming army in dismay, at this moment, he finally understood why Chen Jin and Jin Li were defeated by Su Yan, a young man who had just started up, and even died in the army.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of fear in his heart, if the Ming army under Su Yan was equipped with such terrible firearms, then the southeastern territory of our Qing Dynasty would definitely not be protected, and if the army he led was defeated here today, it was only a matter of time before the Ming army recovered the whole of Zhejiang.

Li Shutai was not willing to be defeated like this, he looked at the Qing army battle flag still standing in the camp in the distance, and then looked at the partial division in the north that had already fought with the Ming army Chen Shenggui, and decided to gather all the cavalry and make a desperate bet, as long as the cavalry can destroy the Ming army firearms team of less than 1,000 people, then this battle can continue.

Although the Manchurian cavalry was reluctant to accept Li Shutai's order, after the latter promised a greater reward, they regrouped and set foot on the battlefield again with the Green Battalion cavalry, but this time they changed their strategy and did not charge directly at the Ming army, but prepared to wait for the opportunity to attack while the line infantry and foot soldiers were engaged.

After sending out the cavalry, Li Shutai personally led the guards to hold high the banner to collect the routs who retreated, most of those routs were defeated because of the chain reaction, so after seeing Li Shutai in person, they gathered one after another, rejoined the battle, and fought with the Ming army, but there were still some soldiers who chose to take advantage of the chaos to flee into the nearby mountains and forests, and no longer worked for the Manchurians.

The battle lasted until it was close to the end of the battle, and in the three battlefields around Qiancang Mountain, the Zhumala army, which was under the greatest offensive pressure, was the first to be defeated, and under the continuous strong attack of the Ming army, Zhumala, who took the lead, was targeted by several light infantry in the battle, and was shot several times at almost the same time, and was killed on the spot in full view of everyone.

Zhu Mala's death directly shattered the Qing army's will to fight, even if a few people still insisted on resisting, but they were quickly defeated by the Ming army, the Ming army immediately captured the Qing army camp, captured many prisoners, and then divided troops to reinforce the north and south two battlefields.

In the northern battlefield, Chen Shenggui also led his headquarters to fight with the Qing army's partial division, coincidentally, the Qing army's partial division commander who fought with him happened to be the chief soldier and horse of Fujian's right road, although he was a little stunned in the face of the former top boss, but Chen Shenggui still resolutely resisted, and took the lead in fighting in the front line.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, in the battle, Chen Shenggui was attacked by a cold arrow, a cluster of arrows flew towards him out of nowhere, and shot into his eye socket before he could react, Chen Shenggui screamed and grabbed the arrow shaft, trying to support himself from falling.

Seeing that the main general was wounded, the soldiers under his command all hated the enemy and launched a more fierce attack on the Qing army, which could only be defeated and retreated, and was finally repulsed by the Ming army and could only retreat.

In the southern battlefield, the battle between the infantry quickly divided the victory and defeat, and the Ming infantry who had received the blessing of the system had the upper hand from the beginning, even if Li Shuotai personally went into battle, the Qing army was still defeated and retreated, coupled with the line infantry providing fire cover on the flank, the Qing army's battle line was suddenly crumbling.

At this time, the Qing cavalry also seized the opportunity to launch a charge against the line infantry, then Li Fang saw that the Qing cavalry was attacking quickly, so he could only order each company to form an anti-cavalry hollow phalanx, The first two rows of soldiers only concentrated fire after the Qing army rushed into a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and then did not care about checking the results of the battle, pulled out the bayonet on his waist, inserted the muzzle, and turned the rifle into a short spear.

The soldiers in the third row waited for the Qing cavalry to rush into twenty or thirty paces before shooting at close range.

Look at the running Qing cavalry, after being shot by the line infantry, hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and the momentum of the charge was interrupted, so they could only jump over the corpses on the ground and continue to charge, and when the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, they looked at the never-before-seen hollow phalanx formed by the Ming army's infantry in astonishment, and the soldiers in the first two rows raised their rifles, making the whole phalanx like a hedgehog that people couldn't start.

When they rushed into a distance of twenty or thirty paces, the third row of soldiers opened fire one after another, and the multiple sides of the seven hollow phalanxes shot at the cavalry from all angles, and shot many Qing cavalry, those Manchurian cavalry looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder, and in a trance returned to the scene of being tortured and killed, and they didn't care about the high reward promised by Li Shutai, and they turned around and retreated, and those green battalion cavalry saw that the Manchurian father ran first, and naturally followed and retreated without hesitation.

The second rout of the Manchurian cavalry was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Qing army's front, which was already somewhat shaky, suddenly collapsed and collapsed for thousands of miles.
