The soldiers of the Ming army who had finished fighting the firearms on the battlefield quickly retreated with their firearms erected, and the soldiers holding shields and swords in the rear immediately rushed out from between the gap between the guns and the archers.One retreats and one advances, alternating positions, the melee killer team has rushed to the front, and the long-range firearms bows and arrows have retreated to the rear.In the sound of "bang bang bang", the Qing troops in the front row fell down in rows, and the front was in chaos, and the Qing army behind just rushed through the gunsmoke, and saw that the men and horses in front had become the Ming soldiers who were wielding knives and spears.The soldiers of the Taiping Camp are not like the Qing army, they have neat standard equipment, some wear battle jackets, some wear cotton clothes, and their heads are covered with infantry armor, and some are wearing the armor of the green battalion and the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, including spears, waist knives, axes, and mallets.The charging Qing army saw the military appearance of the Qingming army, and lowered their shields slightly to protect them.There was a loud bang, and the two armies collided together.Zhao Ming took the lead, swept with a big stick, and directly smashed the Qing soldiers in front of him upside down, sweeping a Qing army.When the soldiers of the Taiping battalion sprinted with all their might, when they approached the Qing army, the soldiers in the first row gathered their shields, got close to their bodies, jumped up suddenly, and smashed their bodies into the shield array of the Qing army, knocking the Qing soldiers backwards in the collision, and even fell to the ground.The spearmen in the back immediately stabbed with spears, assassinating the Qing soldiers who had lost their shield guards, and the spears stabbed through the gaps in the shields, stabbing the Qing army's body, and then pulled it out violently, bringing up a cloud of blood mist, and the Qing soldiers who were stabbed fell to the ground wailing one after another.In the process of the Qing army's charge, the forward suffered from cannonballs, lead bullets, arrows, the formation was scattered, and when it approached the Ming army's front, it suffered from the Ming army's counter-charge, which was difficult to parry for a while, and was killed by the Ming army and retreated."
Resist, outflank left and right!"
Yang Chengzu roared fiercely.The archers behind the front army of the Qing army immediately put their arrows on the string, bent the bow and pointed obliquely at the sky, released the bowstring in unison, and thousands of arrows rose into the air, jumping over the heads of the Qing army's forward like flying locusts, falling into the Ming army's array, and shooting the Ming army down.Seeing this, Tian Xiong's face showed smugness, "Outflank me!"
”On the other side, Ma Degong also commanded his subordinates to outflank him.The Ming army was less than 10,000 people, but the Qing army had 10,000 and a half, although the Qing army died a lot of people in the charge, but the total number was still much more than the Ming army.Since there are many people, they can rush forward on both wings when fighting head-on, intending to outflank the Ming army and attack the Ming army on three sides.At this time, the two armies were facing each other, the shields of both sides were protecting, the spears were vertical and horizontal, and the sharp spears broke through each other's armor without hindrance, and the soldiers on both sides were constantly stabbed and fell to the ground.A soldier of the Taiping Camp stabbed a spear into the throat of the Qing army opposite, the Qing army covered his neck with his hands, blood shot out from his fingers, he wanted to shout, but he could only make a cooing sound from his throat, and fell to the ground on his back.The frontal battle was fierce, the horn sounded in the middle of the Qing army's formation, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong's department began to exert force on the left and right, and the Qing army's formation turned into a groove, wanting to wrap the Ming army.Li Chengdong was nervously concerned about the progress of the local battle, and he had to admit that the combat strength of the three Qing armies was not inferior to his own, and now that they had more troops than himself, it was indeed difficult to defeat the other party head-on.Seeing that the two wings of the Qing army were outflanked and the two wings of the Ming army were killed and retreated, Li Chengdong looked gloomy, "Let Zhao Ming and Li Yuanyin stabilize the two wings!"
”Zhao Ming swept with a big stick in the formation, but in the face of more than 10,000 Qing troops and a tight formation, he was also a little powerless, and he only felt like a boat fighting with the sea."
General, the two wings of the clear soldiers are pressing up!"
In the fierce battle, Wang Deshun roared.Zhao Ming looked at it, and the Qing army in Guojian relied on the large number of people, outflanking the two wings, and was about to enter the hands of the archers and guns in the rear of the Ming army."
Kill!"
Seeing this, Zhao Ming roared angrily, then rushed to the flank, swung a big stick and smashed it, a hundred catties of mace, and he was like a fan by his martial arts, and the Qing army died when he touched it.Tian Xiong saw his subordinates killing the Ming army on the flank, and when he was proud, he saw Zhao Ming kill and smash the Qing army one after another, and the muscles on his face twitched."
Someone, transfer a team of bird-gunners and shoot him!"
Tian Xiong raised his horsewhip, pointed at Zhao Ming, who had stabilized the flank with his own strength, and said in a deep voice."
General, the two armies are strangled together, and the birds shoot with guns, I'm afraid they will hurt their brothers!"
Next to Qianhu reminded.Tian Xiong's eyes widened, and Qianhu hurriedly clenched his fists and took the order.At this time, the infantry strangled together, and the gunboats on the river could not open artillery bombardment, so the naval guns immediately gathered fire and fired at the Qing army battery at the entrance of the canal.In order to prevent a surprise attack from behind, the Qing army built a simple artillery array at the mouth of the river and arranged artillery, which was enough to control the entrance to the canal.At this time, the gunboats opened fire in unison, and the Qing artillery array was instantly filled with smoke and dust.The roar of the huge artillery alarmed the Qing army in battle, and Tian Xiong instantly changed color, "Quickly adjust the fire, shoot Zhao Tieba, and defeat the enemy soldiers!"
”The infantry scuffle, the cavalry lost speed, and it was very vulnerable to cold arrows, Zhao Ming dismounted and fought on foot, brandishing a mace, guarding the flank, smashing it with a stick, smashing the rattan card, and the corpse of the Qing army flew upside down, smashing down a piece of Qing army.Although a fierce general is not a factor that must win a war, having a fierce general can undoubtedly improve the chances of victory and even save the defeat.The number of Qing troops was obviously larger than that of the Ming army, but under Zhao Ming's desperate fighting, looking at the corpses covering the ground on the flanks, the Qing soldiers were still frightened and were blocked.At this moment, among the Qing army, a thousand households shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"
”Without waiting for the Qing soldiers to disperse, a team of Qing army bird guns directly picked up the bird guns and shot at Zhao Ming."
Bang bang bang~" The smoke was filled, Zhao Ming was shocked, and hurriedly pulled a Qing soldier in front of him, the Qing army was immediately pierced by the projectile, and the blood mist rose on his body, and the Qing army and the Ming army who were fighting around were also hit by the projectile and fell down.Seeing this, Zhao Ming was instantly furious, smashed the corpse of the Qing army directly, put down the rows of firecrackers, picked up the mace, and rushed up to kill.Tian Xiong gasped, this Zhao Tiebang's charge was really terrifying."
Again!"
Tian Xiong's face was gloomy and he waved his hand again.The time gradually moved to noon, and the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were still fighting bloodily on the battlefield on the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal for more than ten miles.The battle situation has fallen into a stalemate, Li Chengdong and Yang Chengzu are evenly matched in the front, Li Yuanyin and Ma Degong in the south are strangled together, and Zhao Ming and Tian Xiong in the north are stumbling.More than 20,000 people were strangled together, only to be killed.Although the number of the Qing army was large, the will of the Ming army was more determined, and on the battlefield, blood flowed like rivers and corpses were everywhere.The most fierce place of the battle still happened between Zhao Ming and Tian Xiong, Zhao Ming charged several times, has been dyed into blood, he rushed to Tian Xiong several times, and the Qing army on the northern front retreated, but in the end they were forced back by the Qing army.At this time, Zhao Ming was injured in many places, the stray arrow was inserted in his body, and the arrow shaft was broken, so he continued to rush and kill, still without the heart of retreating, and attacked the Qing army again and again, and actually killed Tian Xiong with weak troops.This kind of evenly matched battle made the generals on both sides of the battlefield fall into torment.Li Chengdong felt tremendous pressure, and Yang Chengzu, Ma Degong, Tian Xiong and others were not calm, and began to become manic.As the war continued, the Qing army's will was not strong, and the problems of not being able to last gradually appeared.At this moment, in the rear of the Qing army, a burst of artillery suddenly came, and then I saw the Qing archers and bird gunners in the rear, which were smashed by cannonballs.Tian Xiong and others, hearing the sound of artillery, looked back in fear, and their eyes suddenly almost flew out of their sockets, the Ming army knocked down the fort at the mouth of the canal, the fleet rushed into the canal, the side side roared, and countless shells smashed towards the rear of the Qing army.The front was in a stalemate, and the rear was attacked again, and under the attack from both sides, the Qing army panicked when it was neutral!
Finished!
The Qing army, which had a premonition of danger, exclaimed.Seeing this, Ma Degong's muscles twitched, and he immediately decided, "Break through to the south!"
”"Hold on!"
Tian Xiong roared like thunder on horseback, and at this moment, Ma Degong on the southern front saw that the situation was not good and ordered a breakthrough.The Qing army, which was fighting fiercely on the south side, moved when they heard the order, quickly left the Ming army, and rushed to the south.Seeing this, Yang Chengzu of the Chinese army was full of horror, there was Li Chengdong in front, and the Ming army fleet was bombarded by artillery in the back, and the horse on the south side slipped away again, and he immediately pulled out the reins of the horse and left.Tian Xiong wanted to leave, but he was on the north side, near the Yangtze River, and it was too late to break through, and the army would definitely not be able to take him away.At this time, when he was panicking, he looked up and saw that a Ming army general covered in blood, wielding a mace, killed him again, Tian Xiong suddenly broke his heart and gall, pulled out his horse and fled."
Dog thief, die!"
Zhao Ming picked up the stick and roared angrily.
