Shang Kexi hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, and the Han army's tens of thousands of horses quickly retreated more than a mile backwards, and withdrew beyond the range of the Lingshan Weixin army's artillery.

Seeing this, Liu Yan also had to admit that although Shang Kexi was a despicable traitor, his combat strength was indeed remarkable, and while the artillery continued to fire a salvo, the whole army could retreat without collapsing, which shows that Shang Kexi's department is indeed a capable soldier!

"My lord, what should I do?"

Miao Shao asked on the side, now the artillery of the artillery commander can't hit the enemy, but the Lingshanwei New Army has reached a mile south of Jinan Fucheng, and the artillery of Shang Kexi's department can still hit the Lingshanwei New Army.

At this moment, the artillery of the reorganized Han army roared again, and all units of the Lingshan Wei New Army were shelled!

Liu Yan's teeth were tight, and then he made a bold decision: "Order: Push forward on the left and right flanks, and form a large horizontal formation with the front battalion, the left battalion, and the right battalion." ”

"Order!"

"Order: After the change of formation is completed, the whole army will advance rapidly, advance to the front of the enemy formation sixty paces and stop, and all the bird guns in the big horizontal formation, the night will not be closed, and the baggage soldiers will kill the enemy with bird salvo!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Execute the order!"

"Yes!"

The officers and men of the battalions of the Lingshan Wei New Army soon began to change their formations, and the rear battalion and the middle battalion of the two wings increased their speed, and the front battalion, the left battalion, and the right battalion were side by side, and at the same time, the personal guard battalion was followed by the middle army, and Xu Ming led the cavalry battalion to support the two wings at any time.

"All the army, forward!"

"Put!"

Shang Ke was happy to see that the Lingshanwei New Army began to change formations, and at this time he was also desperate, ordering the general Xu Erxian to lead 3,000 firecrackers to advance fifty steps, and then began to fire at the marching Lingshanwei New Army.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the soldiers of the marching Lingshan Wei battalions suddenly fell a lot, but what frightened Shang Kexi and many Han soldiers was that those soldiers of the Lingshan Wei New Army were still marching with neat steps, advancing forward with their heads held high, no one escaped, no one made noise, no one cried, and the army of tens of thousands of people was in a strict formation, like a huge city wall, pressing towards Shang Kexi's department!

"It can't be!"

Shang Kexi's eyes widened, and he looked at the Lingshan Wei New Army that was getting closer and closer in disbelief, he couldn't believe that there was such a terrifying army in the world, when did Daming have such an elite!

At this time, Chen Xun followed the army with tears in his eyes, the soldiers of the front battalion bore the brunt, and the firearms of those traitor troops continued to fire volleys, Chen Xun saw his comrades fall one after another, but he couldn't stop, because Liu Yan had already given an order: the whole army advanced to sixty steps in front of the Qing army's formation, and then the whole army shot a salvo to kill the enemy!

"My lord! I can't go any further, the casualties of the soldiers are too great! ”

Miao Shao's eyes were red and he said loudly.

However, Liu Yan knew that in the firearms duel between the two armies, only the side that insisted on approaching the salvo could win with the minimum casualties.

If Liu Yan led his troops to stand in the distance and shoot at Shang Kexi's troops, they would not be able to quickly defeat the Han army of Shang Kexi's troops, and the Qing army's iron cavalry on both flanks would bypass and attack, and then the superior strength of the Qing army would play a role, and the battle situation would gradually deteriorate over time, even if the Lingshanwei new army had an artillery advantage, it would not be able to offset the strength advantage of the 100,000 Qing army!

"Now only by defeating Shang Kexi's troops with a thunderous blow and making the thieves have their hearts and minds broken, can we quickly win this battle!"

Then Liu Yan shouted: "The whole army is speeding up, and before reaching the position of sixty steps in front of the enemy's formation, you must not stop, you must not fire, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"What is Liu Yan doing? Send it to death! ”

Yan Jizu looked into the distance dumbfounded, the actions of the Lingshan Wei New Army made him unable to understand, and he was extremely anxious.

Lu Xiangsheng did the same, but he still refused the advice of Lu Huaiying and others, and did not order Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but gave it a go and chose to trust Liu Yan.

"Commander Liu must have his own ideas, the Lingshan Wei New Army is the elite he has built, we should trust his decision!"

"However, the casualties are too great!"

"Yes, the casualties are too great!"

In the Qing army, Dolgon and Duoduo also widened their eyes, and the two of them looked ahead in disbelief, not understanding why Liu Yan suddenly went crazy, and actually led the elite of the department to take the initiative to step forward, and pressed it against the fire of Shang Kexi's department.

"What is Liu Yan going to do?"

Dolgon's brows were tightly locked, although at this time Liu Yan's troops were beaten and did not fight back, but I don't know why, Dolgon's heart was very uneasy, and he wanted to let the iron cavalry on both wings rush up, but Shang Kexi's artillery continued to fire volleys, and the guns were also fired, and now they rushed up, and the south was accidentally injured by the artillery.

"No matter what Liu Yan wants to do, he must also try to kill and injure Liu Yan's troops as much as possible now."

Dorgon said: "The order is still a Xili battle, even if the artillery is blown up, it must not stop!" ”

Then Dorgon said to Duoduo: "You return to the army immediately, once Liu Yan's headquarters is defeated, you will attack at the same time with the two Mongolian red flags on both wings, and you must completely annihilate Liu Yan's headquarters here!" ”

Duoduo laughed and rode away.

At this time, the officers and men of the Lingshan Wei New Army were still less than a mile away from the large array of Shang Kexi's department, and the officers and men of each battalion suffered many casualties, but there was no sign of collapse, all the soldiers were full of hatred, and their eyes were firmly looking ahead, hoping to reach the predetermined place quickly, and then fight to the death with the enemy!

"All of us are united, and the mountains can be shaken. Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting.

The Lord will kiss me better than my parents. Committing military law is not free. The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter is written. Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late! Report to the Son of Heaven and save the head of Qian. Kill all the slaves and thieves, and find a marquis! ”

Suddenly, Qi Jiguang's "Triumphant Song" sounded in the formation of the Lingshan Weixin Army, and after tens of thousands of soldiers paid huge casualties, the blood-boiling battle song sounded, and the sound shook the four fields!

Shang Kexi looked ahead blankly, I don't know why, looking at those new army soldiers who sang war songs and went to their deaths, a despair that I had never felt surged into my heart, once upon a time I was the same as these new troops, I wanted to defend the Ming Dynasty, but now I am a traitor, willing to fight for the tiger!

In an instant, Shang Kexi became angry and angry, shouted like a madman, ordered the general Xu Erxian to continue to fire a volley, and ordered the general Ban Zhifu to prepare to lead his troops to attack.

At the same time, Dolgon heard the sound of war songs in the distance, and in a trance, it seemed as if he had returned to the bank of the Hunhe River.

In the Hunhe battlefield that year, the same was true of the Qi family army that fought to the death and did not retreat, singing war songs and fighting to the death, and going forward to fight with the Qing Dynasty iron cavalry, and went to the death.

Dolgon clearly remembered that when his father Khan Nurhachi saw the heavy casualties of the banners, he could not take the battle formation of the Qi family's army, and he vomited blood in his mouth in anger, and almost fell off his horse and fainted!

That feeling of powerlessness, that fear of a powerful opponent, Dolgon still remembers it vividly. Back then, it was facing Qi Jiajun, and now it is facing Liu Yan's new home.

"Kill!"

Dolgon suddenly shouted: "Killing Liu Yan's subordinates is like annihilating the Qi family's army back then, and Liu Yan must not be allowed to continue to grow bigger!" ”

"Order the two red flags of Mongolia to attack immediately and attack Liu Yan's department from the flank!"

"Order Prince Yu Duoduo to lead his troops forward, join Shang Kexi's department, and attack Liu Yan's department from the front!"

As one order after another was transmitted, the various units of the Qing army began to move.

Lu Xiangsheng was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly said to Lu Huaiying: "You immediately lead the Governor Battalion to attack and protect the flank of Liu Yan's department!" ”

"Order!"

Most of the soldiers of the Governor Battalion were cavalry, and the 6,000 soldiers were quickly assembled, and under the leadership of Lu Huaiying, they went out of the city and rushed towards the Mongolian Red Banner Iron Cavalry.

The two sides soon collided with each other and a fierce fight began.

Liu Yan was also relieved to see this, at this time, Xu Ming, the general manager of Qian, had already led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to attack and started a fierce battle with the Mongolian Red Flag Iron Cavalry.

"Battalions keep moving!"

One hundred steps!

At this time, Duoduo also led his troops to arrive at Shang Kexi's position, and Shang Kexi hurried to meet him.

"Prince Yu is here later, and the servants will go to the front to command, and I believe that they will soon be able to defeat Liu Yan's department."

"If you could defeat Liu Yan, you would have succeeded a long time ago, and you still have to wait until now!"

Duoduo was very unkind to this general, and said: "Let your firearms continue to shoot, and the final blow will be completed by this king's troops." ”

Shang Kexi retreated.

Seventy steps!

Liu Yan shouted: "The whole army is ready!" ”

At this time, the five battalions that formed the large horizontal formation had already suffered hundreds of casualties, and in order to maintain the integrity of the formation, Liu Yan constantly supplemented the bird guns of the pro-guard battalion to the front when he was marching, ensuring that the five battalions, including the night and the baggage soldiers, more than 4,000 soldiers with bird guns could fire a salvo at the first time.

After Liu Yan gave the order to prepare, the soldiers of each battalion checked the state of the bird guns as they marched.

Sixty steps!

"Stop!"

At the sound of an order, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Lingshan Wei New Army stopped in unison, and Lu Xiangsheng, Dolgon, Duoduo, Shang Kexi and others were all startled.

Lu Xiangsheng and Dolgon exclaimed almost at the same time: "Liu Yan has stopped!" ”

Duoduo could see clearly in front of him that the new army of Lingshan Wei could still be banned in this way after being constantly attacked by Shang Kexi's firearms, and Duoduo asked himself that the warriors with white flags would definitely not be able to do this.

"There are such soldiers and horses in the world!"

And Shang Kexi was taken aback, because he saw that the thousands of Lingshan Guard's new army in front of him were actually changing formations!

I saw that thousands of officers and men of the New Army with flintlock-haired bird guns rushed forward and backwards, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a three-row large horizontal formation, and then more than 4,000 flintlock bird guns were raised at the same time, aiming at Shang Kexi's firearms army.

Even if Shang Kexi's Han army is still firing a salvo, even if the new army soldiers continue to fall, the new army soldiers behind will immediately replenish it, and the three rows of large horizontal formations are always intact!

"I see!"

Shang Kexi suddenly realized, but it was too late.

"Put!"

Liu Yan roared out with anger, and in front, Chen Xun, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Wang Yue, and Shen Tuo saw the Chinese army's battle flag shaking, and almost simultaneously gave the order to fire. 33

"Put!"

In an instant, the heavens and the earth seemed to be dark, more than 4,000 bird guns fired at the same time, the huge sound was even louder than the sound of artillery salvos, and the fierce barrage instantly swept through Shang Kexi's military formation, and the Han army gunners who were still firing in a salvo just now were hit hard, like a wheat field in a strong wind, and a large piece of it fell down in unison.

"Ahh

General Xu Erxian only felt that he flew backwards suddenly, and then there was a sharp pain all over his body, and when he landed, a large stream of blood flowed out of his mouth, and when he tilted his head, he saw that his body was already full of holes, and was beaten into a sieve by the bird gun of the Lingshan Wei New Army.

The 3,000 Han gunners collapsed on the spot under this volley, at least 1,600 or 700 people were killed on the spot, and all the gunners in front of the formation were killed, and not a single one survived.

The rest of the Han gunners turned around and ran, all of them were frightened, shouting and running wildly, directly disrupting the army formation composed of 7,000 Han army spearmen behind.

"Stop them! Stop the rout! ”

Staff General Ban Zhifu shouted loudly, and his soldiers and horses tried their best to block the fledgling firecrackers.

"Those who dare to attack the military formation will be killed!"

Staff General Ban Zhifu roared loudly, but suddenly saw in the distance, the Lingshan Wei New Army advanced forward again after a volley, and then stopped at a distance of less than a hundred paces from his own troops and horses.

"Retreat!"

Ban Zhifu was so frightened that his hairs stood up, and without waiting for Shang Kexi's order, he directly shouted and retreated.

At this moment, more than 4,000 bird guns of the Lingshan Wei New Army opened fire again, and the fierce fire suddenly swept through the phalanx composed of 7,000 Han army spearmen.

Some people died, but not completely......
