Chapter 56: A One-Sided Battle

Abatai smashed the cup angrily, "These despicable Han people, since they dare to kill my Manchu Gushan Ezhen, come here!" Let all the solid mountains come in. ”

Soon the six solid mountains and Ezhen all entered the great tent of Abatai.

When Abatai told them the news that Su Hetai had been killed by the Ming artillery, these Gushan Ezhen were also furious.

You must know that they have been in the customs for so long, and there have been no casualties in Jiala Ezhen, and now they have actually died in a solid mountain Ezhen, how can they not make these Manchus who treat the Han people as cattle and sheep angry.

All the solid mountains and Ezhen asked for orders to exterminate this group of Ming troops.

"This group of Ming troops is not trivial, it should be the elite of the Ming army, according to the soldiers who fled back, this group of Ming troops has more than 10,000 people, all of them are very powerful with firearms, I personally led all the soldiers and horses to annihilate them in one fell swoop." Abatai calmed down and analyzed.

When the people heard that Abatai was going to fight in person, they all expressed their willingness to follow.

Next, Zhonggushan Ezhen returned to his big tent and issued an order for all Ming troops to attack a group of Ming troops to the east.

The 60,000-strong Qing army marched east from outside Jinan.

Wang Yongji, the governor of Shandong, who was standing at the head of Jinan City, looked at this scene with some doubts.

Although he also heard the sound of cannons and guns from the east some time ago, he still couldn't think of who would come to his aid at this time.

At this time, I saw the entire Qing army retreating to the east, obviously to destroy the Ming army that came to support.

Wang Yongji wanted to open the city gate to support, but when he thought that he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and opening the city gate would be a sheep into the tiger's mouth, Wang Yongji sighed lightly.

I can only hope that the Ming army that came to support can break through.

When Abatai led the army to the east, Daniel Zhang had already received the news.

This time, 60,000 Qing troops came, and Daniel Zhang suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"This time it's a vicious battle, everyone must be mentally prepared, distribute all the grenades, the artillery is responsible for the opposite cannon first, and then hit the soldiers after the opponent's cannon is finished, okay, everyone go down and prepare." Daniel Zhang arranged.

The crowd walked out of the tent and returned to their posts, and soon the grenades and plenty of ammunition were in the hands of the soldiers.

The camp of the Zhou family army was very quiet, which was a kind of tranquility before the war.

The soldiers suddenly heard a tremor on the ground, which was from the advance of a large number of horses, and the soldiers cheered up and tightened their grips on their guns.

Soon, I saw the boundless Qing army rushing towards this side on war horses.

I don't know who shouted "Hit!" ”。

Several gunshots such as "bang " and "da da da" came out.

The cavalry of the Qing army who rushed to the front fell off their horses one after another under the roar of the fully automatic machine guns, and the cavalry behind continued to rush forward with the corpses that had fallen in front.

The Qing army was advancing with the tactics of a sea of people, leaving countless corpses every 100 meters of advance, and half an hour later, when they rushed to the front 300 meters, the cavalry behind did not dare to rush forward and retreated.

This time the Qing army left behind the corpses of 20,000 soldiers.

Abatai, who was standing in the back, looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes red.

"Whose soldiers and horses are these? How could it be so powerful? Abatai roared.

"General, we don't know whose soldiers and horses this is, we only see their banner with the word Zhou written on it." A solid mountain said cautiously.

"Zhou, I haven't heard of it, where did this come from?" Abatai asked.

"We don't know where they came from, it seems like they appeared here out of nowhere."

"Aren't they just firecrackers? Pull all the cannons in front and bombard them for me. Abatai shouted gloomily.

Soon a second charge began, this time with sixty cannons slowly approaching in the distance.

Seeing the artillery of the Qing army, Daniel Zhang ordered: "Artillery regiment, blow up their artillery for me." ”

Soon there was a sound of cannons from the position, and after a round of firing, the Qing army was blown up with eight cannons.

But there are still twenty cannons that have completed the loading, and the counterattack against the camp of the Zhou army began, and twenty shells flew to the position of the Zhou army, because the Qing army used solid shells, so there was no explosion, but more than 20 soldiers were still killed by the shells.

The cavalry of the Qing army saw that the artillery on their side had begun to counterattack, and they all shouted and rushed towards the Ming army.

The battlefield began to be noisy again, and the shouts of the Qing army, the sound of horses' hooves, the thud of flintlock guns, and the clatter of machine guns mixed together as if playing a tragic music.

After four shelling by the artillery regiment, the artillery of the Qing army was finally blown up, and then the artillery regiment began to aim grenades and incendiary bombs at the rushing cavalry.

With the addition of artillery, the casualties of the Qing army began to rise sharply, and a grenade hit the middle of the crowd could knock down a large number of people, and a blank space would appear in the middle.

When the incendiary bomb hits the crowd and explodes, the surrounding people will stick to the fierce fire oil, which cannot be extinguished, and there is a scream.

After half an hour of charging, the Qing army finally came to a place ten meters away from the Zhou family's army, and both sides could see each other's faces very carefully.

At this time, Daniel Zhang ordered: "Throw a grenade." ”

Suddenly, tens of thousands of grenades were smashed towards the Qing army, and a steady stream of explosions rang out, countless horses were blown to the ground, and the explosions were followed by the sound of flintlock guns, semi-automatic rifles, and fully automatic machine guns.

After another hour of shooting, the Qing troops on the opposite side finally felt frightened, and they fled backwards despite the shouts of Jia La's real voice.

The war-overseer took up a scimitar and killed a few of the fleeing soldiers, but to no avail, more and more of the soldiers fled backwards.

Abatai saw this scene in the back, he knew that he had lost this time, and the defeat was very complete, he took one last look at the Zhou Ziqi on the opposite side, and Abatai said to Gushan Ezhen next to him: "Mingjin withdraw the troops." ”

A trumpet sounded, as if the Qing army had been pardoned, and in a few moments, the Qing army left corpses and horses all over the ground and ran back.

Seeing that the Qing army had retreated, and they now only had more than 20,000 people left, Daniel Zhang ordered: "All pursue!" ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they got up one after another and rushed towards the Qing army.

The cavalry regiment rode on horseback and chased after the Qing army, and the pursuit lasted for more than two hours, directly chasing the Qing army's camp, and only after occupying the Qing army's camp did not pursue.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and after this day's battle, all the soldiers were exhausted, and Daniel Zhang ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and a cavalry regiment was in charge of guarding.

By the time it got dark, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and the soldiers had eaten and rested.

Today's battle made them unforgettable, and seeing the blurred appearance of those Tartars, many soldiers couldn't sleep tonight.
