In front of the Ming army's chariot array, the corpses of the Qing army were layered on top of each other, blood stained the earth, and the ownerless war horses were plucking their hooves next to the corpses of the cavalry, making a sad neigh.Zheng Red Flag and Zheng Huang Banner, the charge of the two Han Banner Army, completely failed, the light cavalry failed to mess up, the heavy cavalry naturally could not rush to the car formation, the cavalry who rushed to the front of the formation was stopped by the car formation, the cavalry lost speed, the cavalry with tall men and horses became the target, stabbed to death by spears, killed by muskets, killed by artillery bombardment, and the corpses piled up, which was shocking.Under the banner of Daxu, Zhao Ming looked around, and there was a piece of human corpses and horse corpses on the ground, most of them were killed by flintlock muskets, and the corpses were full of big blood holes, and the defeated Qing army of the two banners rode war horses, dragging weapons and banners, and retreated in a hurry.In this battle, preliminary estimates show that the Qing army suffered at least 2,000 casualties, while the losses of the Ming army were negligible, with less than 200 people burned and wounded.Such an exchange ratio surprised Zhao Ming, who did not expect that his men and horses were close to modernization.Although the other parts of Donghai Town are still equipped with bird guns, bows and arrows, broadswords and spears, but the Shence Chinese Army, as Zhao Ming's protector, has eliminated the bird guns, all equipped with flintlock muskets and field guns, which is not much different from the equipment of the modern British army."
Marshal, the Qing army has retreated!"
Xie Qian's face flushed with excitement.Shandong's Donghai Zhentun Army, both in terms of equipment and training, is far inferior to the Shence Army, and the Shence Central Army is Zhao Ming's protector army, and the only seventy percent of the five armies are equipped with flintlock muskets, equipped with various artillery and firearms.Therefore, the soldiers of Donghai Town in Shandong Wei naturally cannot be compared with the Shence Chinese Army.A few months ago, Xie Qian was still on the coast of Shandong, pressed and beaten by the Qing army, and tens of thousands of Shandong Wei troops died or surrendered under the attack of the Qing army, and he only brought less than 1,000 people to Jiangnan with the sailors.The defeat in Shandong made Xie Qian think that the Qing army was still quite strong, but seeing the scene in front of him, Xie Qian was shocked.Looking at the corpses of the Eight Banners all over the ground, Xie Qian knew for the first time that the Eight Banners could actually kill like this.Zhao Ming saw the Qing army retreating, there was no expression on his face, he didn't see joy or anger, but waved his hand calmly: "Take advantage of the retreat of the Qing army, immediately treat the wounded, re-arm, and throw thistles!"
”In this attack, the Qing army suffered a lot of losses, but it also figured out the tricks of Donghai Town, and it was impossible for Man Dahai to lose once and give up the opportunity to encircle and annihilate Zhao Ming, so Zhao Ming judged that Man Dahai would attack again after a little rest.At this time, the Ming army medic carried the wounded away for treatment, and the Ming army ran out of the passage, came to the front of the car formation, straightened the horse rejection stake pulled by the Qing cavalry, and sprinkled the iron thistle in front of the car formation."
Look, handsome!"
Ding Weiyue suddenly shouted.When Zhao Ming heard the prestige, he saw that the Qing cavalry with the red and yellow banners had not yet rushed back to their main formation, and more than 10,000 Qing troops rushed over!
The Qing army's attack was much earlier than Zhao Ming expected, and Man Dahai seemed to be determined to destroy him, even if it was filled with human lives."
Hmph, Ben Shuai depends on how many lives you have to fill!"
Seeing this, Zhao Ming's expression sank, and he immediately shouted: "Quick, withdraw!"
”The soldiers of the Ming army, who were sprinkling thistles outside the car formation and rearranging the horse rejection piles, heard the sound of the Chinese army's gold, looked up and saw ten thousand hooves trampling the earth, and immediately gave up the work at hand and hurriedly withdrew to the formation.The Qing army suffered huge losses, only to destroy part of the fortifications outside the Ming army's vehicle array, if the Ming army was rearranged, the Qing army had to lie down again, and a thousand people would die, Man Dahai didn't want to give Zhao Ming time to breathe and rearrange, so the previous wave had not completely retreated, and the new wave rushed over again.At this time, Man Dahai was fated to order the Qing army to continuously charge the Ming army, and Zhao Ming must be annihilated.However, the Ming soldiers first saw Zhao Ming's hundreds of horsemen, swaying left and right in the Qing army's formation, which boosted morale, and after the battle just now, they were even more courageous, and they were not afraid of the Qing army at all.At this time, in the face of the overwhelming Qing cavalry, the Ming soldiers were orderly and calmly rearranged the defense.As soon as the Qing cavalry entered the firing range, the Ming artillery on the canal roared again, and when the Qing army entered the range of muskets, the Ming musketeers fired in unison.After a row of muskets was fired, the Ming musketeers handed the muskets to the rear, picked up the new muskets, and continued to shoot, while the loaded Ming soldiers were skillfully loaded and tamped, and the movements were almost uniform.Previously, Zhao Ming's charge to the battle was just a personal bravery, in addition to improving morale, as powerful as an overlord, but also powerless to change the situation of the battle, at this time, the soldiers of Donghai Town, skilled movements, and strict military formations are the true reliance and capital of Donghai Town to defeat the Qing army.At this time, the skillful movements of the soldiers of the Ming army, in the face of the formation of the Qing army's thousands of horsemen, were not panicked and loyal to their duties, which is enough to show that it is an elite thing.At this time, in the sound of gunfire, the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the Ming army shot again and again, while the Qing army changed its strategy, and did not rush to the cavalry just now, but galloped to the front of the car formation, and then turned over and dismounted, took the shield and fought on foot, and rushed towards the car formation with the shield.The sound of guns and shouts of killing resounded throughout the whole day, the blood flowed on the banks of the Grand Canal, the Qing army suffered extremely heavy losses, the corpses piled up like mountains, and the Ming army also suffered thousands of casualties.At night, the Qing army, which had been attacking for a day, finally couldn't bear it anymore and retreated.Generally speaking, the Ming army is unable to resist the wheel warfare of the Qing army, but fortunately, a large number of muskets are used in Donghai Town, as long as the chamber is not blown up, it can continue to shoot, it does not need to consume too much physical strength, and it can fight for a long time, and the Qing army is equipped with many bows and arrows, and the soldiers shoot ten arrows in a row, and their arms are sore, and they fight for a day, but the Qing army, which has a large number of people, can not bear it first, and the truce and the war.At night, the Ming soldiers felt out of the car formation and rearranged the defense in preparation for the Qing army's attack tomorrow, and the morale was high, but in the Qing army camp, Man Dahai and others surrounded the fire, but it was a burst of melancholy and bitterness.Geng Zhongming stirred the flint and sighed: "More than 8,000 people were reimbursed in one day, and this battle can't be fought!"
”Kong Youde also sighed: "If it continues like this, the 80,000 army, I'm afraid that few people will be able to leave here."
Please think twice!
”The huge casualties made Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming shaken in their hearts, and they didn't want to fight, at least they didn't want their subordinates to go up.Man Dahai grimaced, gritted his teeth and said: "The Qing warriors have lost 8,000 people, how can this king give up halfway."
In this way, the army surrounded him for a few days, and by the way, they rushed to make equipment, and waited for Zhao Zamao to run out of food, and then launched an attack. ”The next day, the Qing army suspended the attack and began to build equipment, wanting to wait for the Ming army to run out of food, but did not want Zhao Ming to carry a large amount of money and grain.The soldiers of the Ming army not only had rice and bacon from Taiwan to eat, but also dried fish from Zhoushan, and their living conditions were far better than those of the Qing army who ate bran vegetables.This made Man Dahai and the Qing army extremely discouraged, and the time was August 15, Zhao Ming had a festival in the army, and the soldiers ate fish and meat, but the Qing army's food was in a hurry, which greatly demoralized the Qing army.On the 20th, Man Dahai led the generals and circled around the Ming army's chariot array, looking sad and sad.Geng Zhong knew that he had retreated, so he immediately had nothing to say: "Lord Wang, although we can't eat Zhao Zamao, isn't Zhao Zamao also helpless to take us!"
”The muscles on Man Dahai's face twitched, and the 80,000 army lost nearly 10,000, but he couldn't take Zhao Zamao, which made him embarrassed and indignant, and after listening to Geng Zhongming's words, he was even more angry.
