Lord of Ming Dynasty

Of course, Su Zhengqing was not unprepared for this situation. Six thousand new troops guarded the two sides, three thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry guarded the middle, and pulled heavy artillery back from the front to bombard the sweeping Qing troops from both sides.

The battle became fierce, Gao Zhixiang's Han army flag almost completely collapsed, the new army was defeated, and the infantry in front were also beaten stupidly. After several impacts, they also collapsed. They turned around and ran back, but were crushed by the cavalry of the Mangurtai faction. Crushed to pieces, the casualties were more than those in a direct battle with the Nanming army. Gao Zhixiang's central army was also disrupted. He almost became the ghost of Mang Gurtai's sword. Yi fled back to Guilin Mansion, and lay down in the lobby of the mansion.

And Mang Gurtai was delighted with the opportunity Gao Zhixiang had created for him to attack. All the 1 troops were charged, and more than [-] Manchu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry of the Qing army swept away.

They were greeted by [-] cavalrymen from the Southern Ming Army on both wings, with fierce artillery fire and accelerated volleys of arquebus guns in the middle.

Every time a volley was fired, the Nanming army retreated a distance of two meters. The cavalry of the Qing army could advance to a distance of 50 meters at the beginning, and then used bows and arrows to cause damage to the Nanming army, but later they found that the distance was getting bigger. , 55 meters, 56 meters, 57 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters, no more retreat, this is the distance.

Some of their archers can still cause damage to the enemy at this distance, but this does not seal the victory. They hit the wall, and the cannon and arquebus made it difficult for them to advance half a step. The attack was contained at a distance of 200 meters. Later, the cavalry of the Nanming Army became less and less, but the enemy's artillery also began to support the two wings, so they found that when they advanced to more than 100 meters, it became more and more difficult to advance.

The enemy sent up the reserve team in the middle.

The flanks were also full of enemy muskets and shotguns.

We can only count on the Qing army who raided behind.

However, due to terrain constraints, the raiding Qing army could only transport more than 2000 Qing troops ashore on each ferry. These Qing troops had to attack Yongfu County while at the same time outflanking Su Zhengqing's troops leaving the city. The number of troops was too small. Soon, due to the narrow bridge deck, not many Qing troops could pass by at once, and the troops they came over were not as many as those killed by the Nanming army.

4 Chapter Forty

Mangurtai, who put all his strength into the fight, stopped his charge. He looked around nervously, not knowing what happened.

The first is the front. The frontal enemy seems tenacious, but in fact it is at the end of the battle. It is estimated that there are about 1 casualties, and deaths are happening every moment. The Qing army has successfully pushed them to the corner. As long as this The high-intensity death-injury exchange ratio, the Qing army killed [-] people, and the Nanming army killed or injured two or three people. If it continues, the Qing army with [-] people can still consume the Nanming army, which is now only in its early [-].

What's more, as the ratio of casualties gets closer and closer, the bows and arrows of the Qing army are more accurate, while the matchlock guns of the Nanming army have less and less time to reload. When they fall into hand-to-hand combat, the ratio of casualties may be reversed. Confidence, even the more tenacious current Nanming army, he can make them collapse.

After crossing the front lines of both sides, I saw that the Qing army poured into the vicinity of Yongfu County at the bottom of the peninsula like a tide, and most of them went to attack the defense line of the Nanming army. The Nanming army was divided into two halves. If you want to give up your two wings and narrow your defensive circle, the cavalry will take the opportunity to break into the junction of the opponent's two sides, an open area two or three miles wide, and then you can divide and surround the enemy.

Perhaps the enemy has realized this danger and is adjusting. The two armies are slowly retreating and approaching each other. This loophole is being quickly filled.

Behind him, he saw that the army on his side was pressing down on the border, the Nanming army was alone, and some Qing troops from Kong Youde's department who had fled also joined in teams to encircle and suppress the enemy.

But more of Gao Zhixiang's subordinates fled back to Guilin Mansion without looking back.

In the distance, in the distance, he suddenly saw some troops in the distance that were different from the uniforms of the Qing army, neatly like an array line suddenly emerging from the horizon, his brain paused, and then a consciousness told him, "Enemy—reinforcement."

Yes, the enemy's reinforcements were like dilated pupils. More and more enemy reinforcements appeared on the hills on the horizon, and after only a few breaths, they enlarged to the point where he could fully recognize them.

On the left is the banner with the character of Li, and on the right is the banner with the character of Wang.

The two banners are very familiar, because they both served under the account of the more famous clan generals of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in Boluobeile. During the Jiangyin massacre, Li Chengdong and his army were the main force and broke through Jiangyin County.

Now his big banner appeared here, but the object of allegiance has changed. It is no longer the yellow dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty, but the blue dragon flag of Longwu Nanming.

The enemy's infantry quickly overwhelmed the camps on both sides of the river, which had been almost emptied of troops, and then a large number of cavalry rushed to the bridge. The soldiers on the bridge who were crossing the bridge jumped into the river to avoid The attack of the enemy army.

After crossing the bridge, the army directly swept the rear of the Qing army of the Southern Ming army that was attacking the field.

At this time, the Qing army on both sides of the river bank resisted desperately, and the enemy's army broke through the resistance, dividing the Qing army on the river bank and the Qing army on this side of the river.

After crossing the river, the enemy infantry was divided into two groups, one group attacked the Qing army on its own side, and the other attacked the Qing army attacking Yongfu County. The Qing army on both sides of the river bank.

After all, the combined strength of the Qing army on both sides was more than 12, more than his own, but he still felt that it would only be a matter of time before the enemy defeated them.

The enemy over there has the upper hand, and our own soldiers have the upper hand here, and the enemy army will soon be divided.

A group of 2000 Mongolian cavalry broke into the open space at the junction of the Southern Ming Army and strangled the enemy.

There is still a chance, there is still a chance, hold on for a while, Mangurtai said to himself.

He threw the last mobile forces around him into the battle to divide the enemy forces.

Finally, after half an hour of fighting, Mangurtai made progress. The enemy was divided at a distance of 500 meters, and both sides were surrounded by the superior Qing army.

In many places, the two surrounded groups no longer have the sense of distance. Mangurtai saw that the Nanming army formed a circular defensive formation one after another. Several large circular defensive formations were separated by about 30 meters from each other. , the main text of "Lord of the Ming Dynasty" you are looking at Chapter 440 Nanming Beacon 21-Reversal 5 The anti-theft mode has been activated, only half of the chapter and the previous chapter cannot be connected.For the hidden part in the back, please go to Baidu search: (ruthless+water) After entering, search for "Lord of Ming Dynasty" to watch

Chapter 441 Nanming Beacon 22 - Reversal 6

The sudden retreat of the reinforcements of the Nanming Army made several people puzzled, but Zhang Qiang had already seen the situation from the air.

The melee is very unfavorable to the Nanming army, which has fewer troops than the enemy. Not to mention the heavy casualties, it is still unable to exert the power of firearms. Li Chengdong, the leader of the reinforcements, is a character. Let the enemy collapse completely, even though it seems from the situation, the enemy is actually already very flustered, showing signs of collapse.

The Qing army who attacked Yongfu County was beaten and fled in all directions. Thousands of people jumped into the river, and thousands of people rushed desperately to escape to join the enemy. Tens of thousands of people were captured. They had to let go of themselves. The weapons, as prisoners, because the place is too small, beside the bridge, on the battlefield here, even the ferry boat by the river has been controlled by the enemy, the camp on the other side of the river has been broken, and there are more soldiers fleeing , but those soldiers had a place to run, but they didn't. Facing the enemies surrounding them from all directions, they could only surrender.

In the battles of Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is not a disgrace for defeated soldiers to surrender to each other, especially those veterans who are used to surrendering often. Kill them, but there will always be a majority of people who can survive and serve as coolies and cannon fodder, but they don't have to die immediately and lose their lives. This is something everyone knows.

Yongfu County was quickly occupied by more than 1 reinforcements, and those tired defenders could retreat and have a rest.

Li Guangdi also came out of the county government office, quietly tidied up his messy clothes due to the panic, went up to the top of the city, exchanged greetings with the soldiers and generals of the Southern Ming Army who came to support him, and then stood on the top of the city to watch the development of the battle. .

It is not yet possible to tell who wins and who loses, and he has not yet gotten rid of the result of losing ground and losing troops.

Over there, Gao Zhixiang, who had fled back to Guilin Mansion, climbed to the top of the city anxiously, watching his subordinates fleeing back one after another. The latest result, he left the city with more than 3 troops, but only 3000 troops escaped. It is said that more than [-] soldiers and horses were intercepted by Manggurtai.

He has nothing to say, the other party is a clan member of the Qing Dynasty, one of the banner owners of the Eight Banners, and the biggest official in charge of the Qing army here. Even when Kong Youde was around, he had to kneel and lick. What can be said, let alone intercepting his three thousand deserters, even if he wants to take the head off his neck, there is nothing he can do.

Anyway, there are still 3 soldiers and horses in his city, and there are cannons on the top of the city, plus a full battalion of [-] left-behind troops, and the [-] left-behind troops of Manggurtai near the government office, and [-] soldiers and horses , He has come down to gather young and strong men, and it is estimated that he can also get [-] to [-] soldiers to help defend the city. With more than [-] troops, the city is probably defended, and his heart is a little more stable.

Now he is looking at whether the other party can turn the tide, and maybe he will discuss his guilt in the future, but with Kong Youde's protection, at least he will not lose his head, mainly because he cannot lose Guilin Mansion, which is Kong Youde's lair in recent years. Once he enters Guilin Mansion, he will be really finished. As for Mangurtai, and his 20 troops, whoever wants to take care of him will go.

But he still hoped that Manggurtai would win, at least the Qing army would take the initiative if he won, if the Nanming army won, they might behead him and become a stepping stone for them to go up.

From the binoculars, he also saw the abnormal behavior of the reinforcements of the Nanming Army. Because they were too far away, they were too flustered when they fled.

On the battlefield, as the large troops gathered quickly, the flags of Li Chengdong, Tong Dawei, and Wang Deren slowly moved closer together, and eventually they would merge into a huge Chinese army. Out of defensive formation.

Due to the sudden movement of reinforcements from the Nanming Army, Mang Gurtai is not a stunned young man. Maybe his literary talent is really not very good, maybe he has muscles, but he is one of the famous generals of the Houjin Jurchen One, the battlefield experience is still very rich.

He quickly made adjustments, and his troops quickly gathered together, and finally gathered the troops that could still stand up to his side. However, he did not withdraw the siege of Su Zhengqing's troops, nor did he give up the occupation of the middle zone, dividing enemy.

Divide the Nanming Army into Su Zhengqing's Department, Su Zhengqing's Department resists the troops in the rear, and the Nanming Army reinforces several large chunks.

The Qing army was divided into three parts: the remaining 1 main force to encircle Su Zhengqing's department, [-] troops to divide their troops at the same time, and the remaining [-] troops to attack the divided Nanming Army troops by the riverside.

In terms of total strength, it is clear at a glance that the Qing army still has the upper hand, with 14 troops, while Su Zhengqing's total strength is only [-] at the moment. Including the [-] remnants who were surrounded, he lost [-] to [-] troops.

Lost all the artillery, most of the matchlock guns have been lost or lost the ability to shoot, and they have been transformed into spearmen, because they have short swords hanging on their guns, and the sound of guns approaching two meters plus short swords several feet long , Isn't that just a pikeman?

His cavalry is not much, and it is only about seven or eight hundred now.

On Li Chengdong's side, the Qing army transformed from 1 captives had left more than 6000 troops, which were divided into several phalanxes. A phalanx with [-] troops turned around and entered Yongfu County, and was transferred from Yongfu County. Some of the elite cavalry, some of the elite arquebus soldiers, and some of his elite soldiers from the previous assault, these troops numbered [-].

Six thousand troops joined the battle formation.

Part of the force is 3000 people, 500 people plus [-] soldiers and [-] arquebus shooters, controlling the ferry on both sides.
