Of course, the Qing army also had less heavy cannons, such as the tiger crouching cannon, the nine-pound Fran cannon, and the small cannon imitating the Huaxia army, the three-pound cannon weighing more than 500 kilograms, which was also a horse-drawn cart, and the Huaxia army’s gun mount , they are still following the team.

At the moment, it is located on the two wings of the Qing army.

Seeing that the approaching distance is almost the same, at more than 400 meters, Gao Zhixiang unloaded the cannons that can hit more than one mile from these cannons, and began to prepare, and the Huaxia Army also began to prepare, their ten-pound guns and nine-pound guns also They were set up on the two wings, with the training of the Huaxia Army, and they are horse-drawn cart cannons with good mobility, or imitation products of the Huaxia Army. With the guidance of the Huaxia Army, their cannons are obviously better than those of the Qing Army. It is light, easy to move, and does not need to be fixed so much, it will be fine soon.

At this time, the arquebus teams on both sides had already approached the distance of 200 meters, and even the small cannons began to deploy, and the teams stopped advancing, hoping that the cannons on their side would blow up the enemy's formation, and then rushed up to shoot a few rounds. Can crush the enemy.

"Boom, boom, boom," the second round of the Qing army's 2000-jin cannon fired again. It took a long time, but it was still in time, and it fired before the Nanming army's artillery was ready.

The artillerymen of the Qing army chose to attack the enemy's artillery first. This time, the Qing army chose the large artillery that the Nanming army was just about to launch, such as Qianjin's own artillery, as well as the Huaxia army's ten-pounder and nine-pounder artillery. The right wing of the army and the left wing of the Nanming army.

The artillery shells flew over the Nanming Army's phalanx and directly smashed into the Nanming Army's artillery positions. More than 30 artillery shells smashed over, and three shells hit the target. Unlucky for the artillerymen, the shells bounced several times, and even the pack horses and civilian husbands behind the cannon carts who had no time to hide were killed by more than a dozen people.

The other two cannonballs hit a few civilian men who were carrying the cannonballs, and the other hit the messenger horses running back and forth. The horses flew four or five meters away, and their intestines spilled all over the ground. Of course, the cavalry on the horses were also better No, the entire upper body flew more than ten meters away, and the lower body was crushed by the broken corpse of the war horse.

In the face of two preemptive firings by the Qing army, the morale of the Nanming army suddenly dropped a lot.

Everyone's hearts were trembling, the shadow area expanded infinitely, and the expectations of failure were significantly enhanced.

The preparations for the artillery were also affected. It took some time to regain their composure under the pressure of the officers' bullets. At this time, the Qing army's cannons had already entered the third round of firing.

Su Zhengqing was also full of depression. He seemed to be inferior to Zhang Qiang and the others. Letting the enemy fire ahead of them caused a shadow in the soldiers' hearts and damaged the morale of several parties.

But fortunately, he was sitting on a horse, at the end of the entire army, and his eyes covered the audience. He saw that the artillery unit was affected, but the preparations were good. His order was the same as Gao Zhixiang's, and the heavy artillery hit the enemy first. In the artillery position, the small artillery pushed in the middle hits the enemy's arquebus formation.

At this point, no matter how hesitant, the artillery should be ready.

In a matter of breaths, the artillerymen of the Nanming army prepared to aim at the heavy artillery positions of the Qing army who had given them a surprise attack with three rounds of artillery. The small red flag was swung down violently, and the 24 artillery pieces on both sides fired at the enemy's heavy artillery positions together.

24 shells flew across the sky. This time, they clenched their fists and stared nervously at the shells in the sky, praying that it was the Qing army.

"what--"

"Oh my god—" There was a scream on the artillery position of the Qing army at a distance of nearly 900 meters.

Six artillery shells smashed into the enemy's position, and the other shells were either close, far, or sideways.

But the six artillery shells recovered all the heavy losses given to the Nanming army by the Qing army in the early stage, and it was greater than the losses given to the Nanming army by the Qing army's artillery shells.

Three of the six shells knocked over six of the enemy's carriages, and caused fatal damage to [-] of the enemy's pack horses, and then scalded a civilian man who was carrying the shells.

A shell directly smashed a bloody path among the cavalry protecting the artillery. Five horses and a dozen cavalry were unable to dodge in time, and one of them was separated from their bodies.

Two cannonballs overturned a carriage pulling the cannonballs, bounced up again, injured more than 30 civilians and more than a dozen artillerymen, and directly smashed a barrel of gunpowder that was being transported, and the hot cannonballs ignited The gunpowder was fired, and fireworks were set off on the artillery position, and the gunpowder smoke confused the rear of the artillery position about ten meters away.

It did not cause losses to the Qing army's cannons, but the loss of personnel and supplies made the Qing army cry out for grief and bad luck.

Chapter 438 Nanming Beacon 19 - Reversal 3

Zhang Qiang didn't want to see such a Qing army. He was anxious for Su Zhengqing, but Su Zhengqing was desperate to fight, and he would be benevolent if he failed. So where is Li Chengdong's army?

And where are the reinforcements.

Although Longwu Nanming was extremely panicked, because Kong Youde took down Wuzhou Mansion, he might send his troops straight down to Zhaoqing Mansion. Nanming Kingdom will experience another battle of annihilating the country, so they kept asking for reinforcements from Su Zhengqing, which weakened Su Zhengqing who had an army of 1 For the troops, Su Zhengqing had to send nearly [-] troops back to aid, but the fighting eased a little bit. Su Guansheng fought with Long Wu to send more than [-] reinforcements for his nephew's life.

More than 1 reinforcements met Wang Deren who was acting alone on the road, but Wang Deren took him off the road and detoured to the south. After detouring for hundreds of kilometers, he finally reached the south bank of the river today, hidden in a small village, watching Jiang Bian was gearing up to attack the Yongfu County on the other side of the river that Su Zhengqing was defending, but he didn't know how to act.

The enemy is too powerful, he doesn't want his six thousand soldiers, no, his cavalry brigade is six thousand soldiers, he still has two thousand old battalions, his own direct troops, and two soldiers from Li Chengdong. Thousands of captives came from the Green Camp of the Qing Army.

He really didn't want to fight desperately with the tens of thousands of Qing troops. Thousands of soldiers were the guarantee of his prosperity and wealth.

So he kept watching, waiting for the result, whether to go or fight, his idea was to go.

He is not Su Zhengqing, a hot-blooded young man. He has passed his desperate time, and the reason why he can't make up his mind to go is because of his scouting report. Li Chengdong and Tong Dawei are also here, but on the other side of the river, their troops are much stronger There are more on my side, close to [-] soldiers and horses, plus [-] captives, there are [-] soldiers and horses.

There were prisoners on both sides. They didn't wander around in this period of time. They took down many surrounding towns, wiped out the garrison troops of the Qing army on the outskirts of here, and beat up the counties recovered by the Qing army again. In six or seven days, it is estimated that Mangurtai's heart is now sour, and he wants to peel their skins.

But Mang Gurtai lost 20 soldiers and horses because of Su Zhengqing's blow, and he was licking his wounds, not daring to attack. Who knows if those sweeping soldiers and horses are as powerful as Su Zhengqing? The [-] soldiers and horses he was holding could not defeat the opponent. This was Mang Gurtai's judgment. The Nanming army here was much stronger than the Ming army of the Yongli Ming Dynasty he fought.

It is also much more powerful than Feng Shuangli's Nanming army who had been fighting against them before. Mang Gurtai did not dare to act rashly. He knew that there were two such armies lurking around him, but he had no choice. He wanted to see if Gao Zhixiang could defeat the current army. If the Nanming army can be defeated, he will destroy the other two Nanming armies at the cost of 20 troops and heavy losses.

The battle continued, and the smoke cleared. The Nanming army lost more than 2000 soldiers and horses. The line of arquebus guns and infantry were smashed into a sieve. The artillery also lost a lot. The twelve cannons in the middle lost six, and the ten on both sides lost six. Three of the second cannons were lost, one of the twelve behind them was lost, and five of the heavy cannons were lost.

As for the Qing army, it is more appropriate to describe it as horrible.

More than 30 of the 4000 cannons in front were lost, and the remaining three of the heavy artillery were lost. The new army lost more than [-] people, and the four phalanxes were directly destroyed. The scene was in chaos. Gao Zhixiang sent infantry to stabilize the new army For the troops, stand behind one person. If they dare to retreat, they will go down with a knife. After beheading nearly a hundred people in a row, they stabilized the troops and drove the rear phalanx to the front line to face the Nanming army.

The two sides started a new round of artillery battles. The Qing army's cannons were weakened. Gao Zhixiang no longer wanted to use artillery to resolve the battle. He directly sent infantry, pikemen, and archers behind the new army, waiting for the new army to kill them. At a distance of 100 meters, he let these cold weapon troops cross the new army and directly fight the Nanming army. Anyway, there is Mang Gurtai behind him, leading the [-] Qing army to sweep the formation for him. Even if he loses, there are still [-] troops The Qing army swarmed up. The Nanming army must have been unable to withstand such a force, and it was bound to collapse. The victory still belonged to the Qing army.

This is undoubtedly a cruel choice for him. He lost the army guarding his family that Kong Youde placed high hopes on. Maybe the Guilin Mansion will be handed over to him, but he will also send it to the Qing army, not the Nanming army, but the Nanming army. If you catch him, he will definitely die, but if he failed in the Qing army, he will not die, but he will be thrown into limbo for a period of time. If his life is saved, he will be able to make a comeback. do not talk.

The premise is to win this battle, otherwise, if Manggurtai wants to kill him when he goes back, he will not be able to resist.

He sent messengers to communicate with Mang Gurtai, and Mang Gurtai promised him that the [-] Qing army would press on and give the Nanming army a final blow. The county seat began to cross the river to attack.

Su Zhengqing felt the pressure. He issued multiple orders in a row, adjusted the deployment, and retreated the cannons to the rear wings on both sides, giving way to the arquebus soldiers. The heavy artillery and the cannons in front of the Chinese army continued to bombard. Serious, but also can suppress the enemy.

A round of bombardment by the heavy artillery in the back completely ended the Qing army's heavy artillery position, and the Qing army lost all the heavy artillery.

Twelve nine-pound guns shelled twenty artillery pieces on the side of the Qing army. In just one round, the artillery that had been adjusted many times was more accurate, causing the Qing army to lose another five cannons and hundreds of artillerymen.

Some artillerymen of the Qing army left their cannons and civilian husbands, and the infantry fled together, and were immediately beheaded by the cavalry behind.

The heavy artillery at the back adjusted its muzzle and began to bombard the remaining dozen or so cannons on the other side.

The arquebus soldiers of the two armies marched forward with drumbeats, advanced, approached, approached again, 150 meters, these new troops of Kong Youde did not panic, it was already past the time of panic, 120 meters.

Chapter 439 Nanming Beacon 20 - Reversal 4

Yes, the Nanming army is also desperately fighting. They are not without losses. They also lost [-] new troops. Fearing their lives and rushing forward, they had to shoot desperately.

After all, the Nanming Army was not as disciplined as the Huaxia Army. In the face of heavy casualties, many soldiers' movements were deformed. Some loaded with too much gunpowder and their chambers exploded. The officers beat and scolded, the more anxious they were, the more they pretended not to be good. Many soldiers were dragged behind by the supervising team and beat and kicked. In this way, the Nanming Army lost a line of soldiers in vain, and the line became thinner, with only six lines. There are only five elements in the middle, and there are no soldiers to supplement them, so we can only fight against the enemy with the five elements.

However, their enemies have changed from soldiers of the new army to firecrackers, Shenji Battalion, and enemy archers, infantry who charge desperately, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers. The enemy is fighting desperately.

In the strangulation of artillery and bullets, the enemy could not cross the 50-meter death line in the end, and fell down at a distance of 110 meters to 50 meters from the front line of the Nanming Army.

Finally, Zhang Qiang saw that Gao Zhixiang's army was showing signs of collapse, and Mangurtai's 500 troops rushed in like a tide, directly crushing Gao Zhixiang's defeated front team at a distance of [-] meters, and then swept past. It's cavalry.

He turned his attention to Yongfu County. The Qing army passed the ferry, and the bridges on both sides rushed over to attack Yongfu County.

The Nanming army defending the bridge collapsed after resisting for less than half an hour. After all, they were small in strength, and they were still civilians and young men. They only had more than 100 soldiers and a few cavalry.

Qing troops quickly landed on the shore via bridges and ferries, and then rushed towards Yongfu County, some Qing troops rushed to Su Zhengqing's rear.
