Chapter 145: Each has a ghost

The 5,000 arquebus soldiers of the Qing army, under the cover of 30,000 infantry, slowly moved towards the Zhou army.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Liu Hu's mouth showed a hint of mockery, in fact, the cavalry was still a little more lethal to the Zhou army, as long as the cavalry could rush to his own position, then he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

But I don't know what this Dolgon thought of actually changing to attack with infantry, did he want the five thousand arquebus soldiers behind him to fight with him? It's naïve.

When the Qing army rushed to 500 meters, the soldiers of the Zhou family army began to shoot, and suddenly all kinds of bullets and shells exploded in the camp of the Qing army.

Because the Qing soldiers were relatively scattered, the bullets and shells of the Zhou family army did not cause much damage to the Qing army, the Qing soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers in the back continued to rush forward under the urging of various Niu Luzhen.

Seeing this scene, Liu Hu hurriedly ordered the sniper company to eliminate those commanders, and soon those Niu Lu Ezhen who were scolding behind the soldiers were unlucky, only to see Niu Lu Ezhen fall down with a bullet in the head in silence.

When the 5,000 arquebus soldiers finally came to a distance of 200 meters away from the Zhou army under the cover of the Qing soldiers, they could no longer advance, so they had to light the arquebus here and accompany Fu to start shooting at the Zhou soldiers.

The arquebus fired at a distance of two hundred meters, and the accuracy was really poor, and the five thousand rounds of ammunition only hit a dozen hapless soldiers of the Zhou family.

Their 5,000 arquebus soldiers were also strafed by the Zhou soldiers with machine guns, and more than 4,000 Qing soldiers were directly shot and killed, and the remaining 1,000 or so arquebus soldiers did not dare to stay where they were, and fled back one after another.

Since all the junior officers had been almost wiped out by the sniper company, coupled with the rout of the arquebus soldiers, it suddenly caused a large-scale rout.

Seeing this scene, Dolgon was immediately furious, and hurriedly ordered the overseer to kill the retreating soldiers, and after killing more than 1,000 soldiers who fled in rout, the Qing soldiers in front no longer dared to escape.

"The cavalry charged me together, and I don't believe they have unlimited firepower." Dorgon roared.

Suddenly, the remaining 50,000 or so Qing troops began to charge collectively, and this time the momentum was unprecedentedly fierce.

Seeing this scene, Liu Hu knew that this was the last critical moment, so he hurriedly ordered not to save bullets and fight hard.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the Qing army, after losing more than 20,000 soldiers, finally could not bear it and was completely defeated.

The remaining 30,000 Qing soldiers fled all the way back, and Dolgon's overseers could not control this escape.

Seeing this scene, Dolgon sighed and finally recognized the reality, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.

When Dolgon ordered the men to blow the horn of retreating, the Qing soldiers fled faster as if they had been granted amnesty.

Abatai, Daishan, Shuoto, and Duoduo were also relieved to hear Dolgon's order to retreat, after losing thousands of soldiers and a large number of junior officers, they had no way to organize a charge, and it was not possible to maintain a stalemate here.

When they heard the order to retreat, they hurriedly led the remaining soldiers to retreat in the direction of Dolgon.

Seeing that the Qing army had retreated, Liu Hu was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when suddenly a scout came to Liu Hu.

"Report! Ten miles after the Qing army, a large number of Ming troops were found, about more than 100,000 soldiers and horses!"

The scout knelt down and reported.

When Liu Hu heard this, he hurriedly extinguished the idea of pursuing the Qing army, these Ming troops hid behind the Qing army, and did not help when they fought with the Qing army, it must be the idea of profiting from the fisherman.

Liu Hu hurriedly ordered all the Zhou family troops to gather and go to Jinan City, after so long fighting, the soldiers were a little tired and needed to have a good rest.

As for the Ming army behind the Qing army, Liu Hu pretended not to know that it was cheap for them to pick up the Qing army's rout.

The four of Abatai with the remaining more than 60,000 soldiers and horses quickly caught up with Dolgon, at this time Dolgon only had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the 180,000 army only lost 80,000 soldiers and horses in a battle with the Zhou army, which made Dolgon very annoyed, but now let him continue to go back and fight with the Zhou army and did not have the guts.

"Boss, what do we do now?" Abatai asked.

"We don't fight head-on with the Zhou family's army, we go directly to attack Xingjing, they only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, see how they can stop our 100,000 army." Dorgon came up with another plan

Just as Dolgon was discussing where to go to Xingjing, a large number of Ming troops suddenly rushed out from the side, shouting and rushing towards them.

Dolgon was furious when he saw this scene, these Ming troops actually came to attack at this time, it seems that they must have been waiting for a long time behind, and Dolgon hurriedly ordered to start defense.

Although the soldiers of the Qing army fought much more bravely than the Ming army, they were beaten too badly by the Zhou army just now, and now they have not recovered.

Fortunately, the Ming army did not have flintlock pistols, but also used swords, which made the Qing soldiers psychologically balanced a lot.

Fighting with those Zhou Jiajun is simply tormenting, they can't get close to them, they all die on the way to charge, that feeling makes people very desperate.

At this time, with the real swords and guns of the Ming army, the Qing soldiers were angry with the Zhou family army before, and sprinkled their brains on the Ming army.

Looking at the Qing soldiers who seemed to be crazy, the Ming soldiers were frightened, and suddenly the Ming army was defeated by the Qing army.

Zuo Liangyu saw this scene in the back, and he was also depressed to death, originally he didn't want to sneak attack the Qing army, he also wanted to wait for the Zhou family army and the Qing army to fight and lose both, and pick up a big bargain himself.

It's just that I didn't expect that after the Qing army lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it actually retreated, and what I didn't expect was that the Zhou army didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, which made Zuo Liangyu very depressed.

Now the Qing army still has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he only has 150,000 soldiers and horses, and he is not sure that he will be able to defeat the Qing army, so he ambushes there and does not make any moves.

But the scene that made Zuo Liangyu vomit blood happened, and the Qing army actually retreated in the direction of their ambush, which made Zuo Liangyu very entangled, because they were too close, if they retreated, they would definitely be discovered by the Qing army, and then they might be pursued by the Qing army.

In the end, Zuo Liangyu gritted his teeth and decided to sneak attack the Qing army, after all, the Qing army and the Zhou army had been fighting for so long, and the soldiers must have been exhausted.

Another reason is that it seems to be very easy to see Zhou Jiajun fighting the Qing army, which makes Zuo Liangyu feel that the Qing army is very rubbish, and he feels that he can also fight the Qing army.

It's just that I didn't expect that my Ming army just rushed up and had some advantages, and after a while, I was actually beaten by the Qing army and fled.

Are your own soldiers so vulnerable? This made Zuo Liangyu very devastated.

There was no way Zuo Liangyu sighed, but still ordered a retreat.

After the Qing army chased the Ming army for a while, they stopped the pursuit, after all, they were tired enough, and they needed to rest now.

In this sneak attack, more than 5,000 soldiers were killed by the Qing army, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed by the Ming army.
