Hundreds of one-tael-three (56 grams) of lead bullets flew out of the flames of the explosion, swept through like a violent wind and waves, and roared into the formation of the two armies.

Buckshot of this weight is vulnerable to cotton armor, chain mail, or even more expensive scale armor.

The lead bullets weighing one, two, or three cents directly penetrated the armor of the Qing cavalry who entered within 70 paces, and pillars of blood gushed out from the bodies of the officers and men of the two armies, and the heart-rending screams were endless.

Buckshot easily tore through the armor, smashed the Qing army's war horses, belly, limbs, stumps and severed arms flew away, and colorful intestines and feces flowed directly from the stomachs of the Qing soldiers who were hit with screams.

If it weren't for the darkness of the sky and the chaos of the battlefield, it would not be clear at all, perhaps the courage of the Qing army would have been completely deterred by this tragic war scene.

After all, in just a moment, in this earth-shattering round of turtledove foot shooting, more than 130 men and horses of the Qing army fell, and almost all the cavalry in the front row had been swept away by the deadly lead bullets, and the huge casualties even disrupted the Qing army's charging formation.

But this was just the beginning, the first row of turtledove-footed musketeers had just finished shooting, and the second row began to shoot, and the rear of the Qing army could not control it at all, and the Qing cavalry, which was trampling on their own fallen soldiers and horses, suffered a new round of firepower.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!!"

......

As the reinforcements of the two battalions came to the east and west sides of the military camp in the Qing army, the "Jinwu Battalion" under Sun Hu also rushed to support Xue Laoer, and Zhou Shixian had already sent all the soldiers and horses under his command.

The relatively stable front of the tug-of-war also allowed the Ming army's muskets to play a greater role, and in a roaring fire, the Ming and Qing armies paid huge casualties, but the Qing army suffered greater losses.

At this time, the value of the rigorous training of this musketeer under the command of Zhou Shixian can be reflected, in the first and second musket fire, both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties paid great casualties, and they also began to fall into chaos after the salvo fired, and there was no gap between the two at this time.

But when the third round of firearms was fired, before the Qing army could react, the Ming army's musket volley had already begun. Thousands of reloading exercises, formation training, and even stricter military discipline than the Qing army allowed the Jinwu battalion to start firing a salvo before the Qing army.

And the Qing army's musket formation was already in chaos, and if it was subjected to a volley, it would have no power to fight back.

After four consecutive rounds of musket volleys from the Ming army, thousands of Qing soldiers fell, and the corpses of the entire Qing army were piled up.

......

In the night, the flags of officers at all levels of the Ming army began to rise from inside and outside the various camps of the Qing army, the large camps on the east and west sides, and the large camps of the Chinese army in Duoduo, the Ming army had made great progress, and the counterattack of the Qing army was defeated together with the defense.

The green battalion soldiers who relied on the camp to defend the eastern battalion had already been repulsed, and groups of soldiers poured out from behind Zhang Hong, and under the continuous impact of the Ming army, there were already green battalion soldiers who began to surrender. If it weren't for Zhang Hong's insufficient troops, he could even surround and annihilate him.

With the progress of Xue Laoer's department in Duoduo's Chinese army camp, Wu Xingye's department also began to launch a more fierce offensive after receiving reinforcements from Zhou Shixian, and the Manchu camp was already in danger.

The Ming army even almost completed the three-sided encirclement of the Qing army's large camp, a cavalry battalion, two combat battalions, a firearms battalion, and a mixed battalion.

Naturally, there were elements of night attacks and rocket attacks, but the reaction and combat effectiveness of this new Ming army were far beyond the expectations of the Qing army.

Not only Duoduo, Nikan, and Tunqi didn't expect it, but Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were also the same. When they found that the Ming army seemed to have won and was about to surround it, they could only fight and retreat.

Of course, this is what the two old foxes said when they faced Duoduo, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were waiting for the result from the beginning, if it was a normal battle, they would have been sent to be cannon fodder a long time ago.

After all, these two people are also experienced veterans of a hundred battles, and the difference of this Ming army is that Duoduo despises these people, and they dare not despise those who have fought with others on the south bank.

Although Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming received an urgent order from Duoduo, they watched the defeated troops withdraw from the western and central battlefields, and they all had a small calculation in their hearts.

The gunfire and shouting of the two large battalions in the west were getting closer and closer, and neither of them thought that under the condition that the main force of the Ming army had been activated, Duoduo and those green battalion troops could hold out for long, and they were secretly glad that they had not acted rashly just now.

Duoduo's royal banner quickly withdrew from the Chinese camp, and after the soldiers and horses originally used for the attack were defeated, the most capable prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty naturally understood the plan of the Ming army to encircle.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not had time to complete the encirclement, Duoduo took the lead and sent the only remaining more than 2,000 Eight Banners soldiers around him to block the attack, and finally succeeded in destroying the encirclement between the Ming army in a hurry.

He also knew in his heart that once the Ming army completed the encirclement, even if he could break through, the losses would be unacceptable. He had to take this risk.

Zhou Shixian has been standing on the tower of Fengyang City, observing the battle in the north outside the city, and there are hundreds of various artillery pieces of various sizes on the city wall, of which there are more than 20 Hongyi cannons alone, and there are nearly 1,000 soldiers, thousands of villagers to assist in the defense, very safe.

He stared at the Qing army camp several miles away, which was full of fire, although he couldn't see it clearly, but the sound of muskets and shouts of killing was getting louder and louder.

The communication technology of this era is still very backward, and although the battlefield is close at hand, the transmission of military information is very slow.

Moreover, under the cover of night, it was difficult for Zhou Shixian to judge the real military situation.

Fortunately, most of the good news sent by Tangma has made gratifying progress on both sides of the east and west, as well as the main force in the middle. Although Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde's eastern camp broke through in the end, they still won after all.

Inside and outside the three major camps of the Qing army, the gunfire continued, and the Qing army, which was entangled with the Ming army, watched the main generals' recognition of the flag continue to go away, and the morale collapsed immediately, and thousands of people rolled and crawled, panicking and began to flee the battlefield.

Many of them were covered in blood, some of them had no other weapons except for a waist knife in their hands, and some of them were injured in the legs and dragged away by others, but because the speed was too slow, they soon died under the muskets and arrows of the Ming army, spears and knives.

Seeing the retreat of the Qing army, the Ming army rose up to catch up, and kept firing guns and arrows behind the Qing soldiers, and some of those who wanted to surrender also died under the knife.

Soon, thousands of Ming soldiers stepped on the bodies of these corpses and continued to pursue the fleeing Qing army.
