The infantry line of the Dragon Guard Army immediately reacted, and the soldiers in the front row raised their guns and fired a volley with the officer's order, and the Qing army, which had just rushed forward a few steps, suddenly turned over like a leek.

However, with Sinebku personally leading the guards behind the battle to supervise the battle, the captives had no choice but to step over their slain companions and continue to attack the slender dark green "human wall" a hundred paces away.

The Dragonguard soldier, who had just finished shooting, immediately turned around, passed through the gap between his teammates behind him, and ran back ten steps to start reloading.

The soldiers who had previously stood in the second row now became the first platoon, and with the officer's order, they raised their guns to aim and shoot, and quickly retreated without caring how many enemies they had hit.

Then the original third row fired, and retreated......

This tactic of retreating and platoon fire is extremely effective against the enemy's unfast frontal charge. Each platoon of soldiers could kill nearly 200 prisoners in a volley, while constantly retreating to keep the enemy at bay.

The captives without the assistance of cavalry only felt that the distance between them and the opponent was so far away, and they seemed to have run desperately, but when they looked up, they only saw more and more corpses around, and the Ming army was still fifty or sixty paces away.

In less than a stick of incense, most of the more than 2,000 Yellow Flag infantry armor under Sinabuku were the most elite and had been rushing to the front.

The already terrified Green Battalion had a yellow flag and could barely keep up, but when they lost their shield and the bullets fell on them, these people suddenly froze.

At this moment, the artillery company that had retreated more than 200 paces turned its head and lowered the legs of the gun carriage again, skillfully loaded the scattered bombs, and bombarded the Qing army, which was as dense as an ant colony.

The earth-shattering roar of artillery and the scattered minced flesh finally broke the last trace of courage of the Qing army. Pei Guozhen's sword and shield hands were the first to wail and turn around, the Teng shield in their hands couldn't block the Mini bullet, but it was very effective against the single knife of the warlord's team.

The Overseers of Sinebku were soon caught in a gap by the shield-clad deserters, and the other captives immediately followed suit.

At this time, the fastest captives were only more than twenty steps away from the infantry line of the Dragon Guard, and Li Ying had already ordered to prepare bayonets, but saw that the entire Qing army's battle formation was like a receding tide, and turned around and fled faster than when he came.

Naturally, the Dragon Guards were not polite, and immediately changed back to a salvo and beat the water dogs.

The earthen wall that the Qing army had previously used to defend itself now blocked their way out. The fastest captives were struggling to climb over the wall, and the people behind them were dragged down by the threat of guns and cannons, and they jumped up, but were dragged down by those further behind......

The earth wall was suddenly embraced in a mess, and the lethality of the cannon was maximized, an iron ball of scattered bullets could even penetrate three or four people, and a twelve-pounder cannon was enough to harvest the lives of nearly a hundred captives at a time!

Finally, the Qing soldiers, who were farthest away from the earthen wall, saw that there was no hope of escape, and began to turn their heads and fall to the ground, screaming for mercy.

Zhang Jie took 2,000 Han troops with blue flags to go around, and was about to attack the left flank of the Ming army, but a group of cavalry with a strict formation stared at them.

He raised his eyes again to the frontal battlefield, but saw that most of the green battalion was on its knees and begging to surrender, and that some small centaurs had jumped over the earthen wall and were running about like lost dogs.

He only hesitated for a second, then turned his horse's head and exclaimed, "Withdraw!" ”

Nearly an hour later, the battle near Daren Mountain was coming to an end, and more than 3,000 soldiers were collecting the corpses on the battlefield under the threat of firearms, while the earthen wall of "meritorious service" in the distance was stained black and red with blood.

Li Ying saluted Zhang Jiayu and said, "General, more than 6,000 thieves have been captured. Thousands more have fled, do you think you want the hussars to chase them? ”

"No need." Zhang Jiayu shook his head and said, "Order each battalion to rest in place for an hour, and then immediately go north to encircle the main force of Duoduo." As for fleeing enemies," he glanced behind him, "the Zhejiang army and the Jiangxi army have already been deployed on the periphery, and none of them can escape." ”

……

Just when Zhang Jiayu defeated Xinebuku, Huanglongbu, Tangshuihe, and Mashan were also playing almost the same scene.

The fastest captive battalion, Jin Wu's department, defeated the 12,000 Qing troops of Shang Kexi's department in Mashan in just over half an hour, killing 1,300 people and capturing more than 6,000 people!

The two directions of Huanglongbu and Tangshui River have also been passed within two hours.

However, at the foot of Xi Ming Mountain, Yu Xinbu encountered unprecedented danger!

"Lord Commander," Huang Qishou saluted Yu Xin, "the construction of the defense line has been completed. There are two deep trenches dug, an iron rope net, and a number of horses. At the moment, the thieves are still far away, see if you dig ...... again"

Yu Xin raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "That's it." Let the soldiers have a good rest, today's battle is not easy. ”

"Yes!"

After Mr. Huang Ying left, Yu Xin raised his binoculars and looked south, the sky was still a little dark, and he couldn't see anything in the distance, but he still frowned and stared at it.

Last night, he received an urgent report from the rangers, saying that more than 40,000 Jianyu were attacking this side of Ximing Mountain overnight.

He quickly made a judgment that Duoduo should have noticed something strange and wanted to concentrate his main force to break through from his side!

If this is the case, then there must be more than 40,000 thieves, and it is normal for the rangers to find out in the middle of the night. Although his unit was the elite of the Dragon Guard, there were only more than 6,000 people, and the situation was extremely serious.

However, for this situation, he had already made a plan at the Jiangning General Staff Meeting, and Yu Xin, who commanded the army alone for the first time, was not at a loss.

Under his order, the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army lit torches in the middle of the night and started to build a defensive line in the narrowest section of Ximing Mountain.

The steel shovel was the standard equipment of the Long Wei Army, and it took less than two hours for them to dig two trenches nearly four miles long and more than eight feet deep under the command of the engineer company. Then he pulled up a net of iron ropes with hemp rope covered with iron nails.

Yu Xin had previously received an order that at dawn the next day, the Ming army would launch a general attack from five directions, that is to say, the Long Wei army and the other troops of the broken camp would not be able to reach Xi Mingshan until noon at the earliest.

Then he must stop Duoduo at the foot of Xi Ming Mountain before this, otherwise the strategy of encircling 100,000 prisoners may fall short.

But he will most likely face ten times more enemy forces!

Yu Xin looked up at the sky, and the first rays of morning light had begun to appear in the universe. He took a deep breath and beckoned his adjutant to ask, "Did the warning signal be sent?" ”

"Back to the commander, it's already been sent at the end of the day."

Yu Xin was a little uneasy and said, "Let's send it again." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, three red flares rose into the sky at the same time. A few miles away, several hussars who were scouting saw the signal and hurriedly took out their flares to send out the same warning message.

This relay was transmitted to the vicinity of the Tangshui River twenty miles away, and Chen Xiongfei's herald saw the red flash in the sky and hurriedly saluted him: "Report! General, the warning in the direction of Xi Mingshan should be encountering a large army of thieves! ”
