Although the infantry of the Daming Naval Division withstood the enemy's artillery bombardment, in order to keep the infantry line neat, they could not advance too fast.

The whistling iron ball swept across the narrow line of the Ming army, but it did not make any soldier hesitate in the slightest.

More than half of the Sailor Infantry are veterans of the Dragon Guard who are familiar with the nature of water, and they have carved iron discipline into the depths of their souls. Even though the comrades beside them were killed in the artillery fire, they only silently stepped forward to fill the vacant positions, and the entire line always maintained the same speed towards Jianyu.

Finally, the infantry line reached a position about seventy paces away from the enemy. In that short distance of less than a mile just now, the Ming army had already paid nearly seventy casualties.

With the commander's order to aim, all the soldiers raised their flintlock guns in unison, and their bayonets were pointed in the direction of Beijing.

Immediately afterward, they let out another roar in unison, "Release! ”

Suddenly, the anger in the chests of more than 700 soldiers turned into flames erupting from the mouths of the guns, and a dense burst of lead bullets was fired at Jian Yu.

The captives of the front team were stunned by the indomitable terrifying momentum of the Ming army, and they felt that they were simply a team of iron men who were not afraid of life and death. It wasn't until the sound of the earth-shattering guns on the opposite side woke them up, but then a "huge net" of lead bullets suddenly enveloped them.

The first salvo knocked nearly 100 captives in the front row to the ground, and the gunners who were a little slower to evacuate before the formation were all killed. Then another wail rang out everywhere.

It was only at this time that the Qing army, at the urging of the officers, shot at the opposite side with bows and guns, but at this distance, it was difficult for their weapons to effectively inflict effective damage on the Ming soldiers who were all equipped with refined cotton armor.

Soon, the Ming infantry line had raised its guns again, and at this time, half of the loading work had not yet been completed on the Jianyu side.

The swift and dense flintlock firing soon showed its effect, and after only three or four volleys, the Qing front line of the Green Battalion began to shrink back.

"General, there are Jianyu cavalry on the left flank."

Liu Guoxuan was concentrating on directing the battle when he heard a warning from the adjutant beside him. He looked hurried to the south, and could not help frowning, for less than two miles away, hundreds of horsemen were forming formation, and should soon be rushing.

"You have to break through the middle as soon as possible, otherwise you will be very vulnerable to being flanked." He looked at the front team of Jianyu, which was already a little loose, and said resolutely, "Order, the line is twenty steps forward!" ”

"Yes!"

The front team of Jianyu suffered a big loss in the shooting, and the shooting of the entire army formation had begun to be chaotic, but at this moment, the sound of the Ming army's guns stopped.

The captives were all relieved in their hearts, and they were just about to take a breath, but they heard the terrible "aiming" call sounding again, and when they looked up, the Ming army had arrived within fifty paces.

After a volley, Liu Guoxuan ignored the sound of ghosts crying wolves in the construction formation, and immediately ordered "rapid reloading", and then ordered "advance thirty steps to aim".

This time, it was almost on the nose of the Qing army, and the close range of twenty steps brought the power of the six-coin gun into full play, and a single salvo peeled off a layer of the enemy formation, and the spearmen in the front row were almost all killed.

Then Liu Guoxuan shouted an order, "Bayonet ready!" ”

"Rush!"

A thunderous roar immediately erupted in the Ming army's array, "Kill!" Immediately, like a shocking wave, it swooped towards the former army of Jianyu.

Lou Guangxian was simply dumbfounded - this thousand Ming army was fighting with his own 3,000 men and horses, but he dared to take the initiative to attack, and at this time, they obviously had the advantage of firearms, but they wanted to pounce on the battle!

What kind of play is this?! But then he was happy in his heart, just now he saw that the front army suffered a loss in the firecracker, so he had already planned to let people get close to hand-to-hand combat, but he didn't expect the Ming army to rush up by himself, which was a trouble-free.

Even though the sailor infantry fought with bayonets, they still basically maintained a neat horizontal formation. The seven soldiers of each team stabbed out in unison under the command of the management team, and when they landed, they made the captives who were fighting each other unable to resist.

In addition, in the confrontation of Fang Cai, the Jianyu sword spearmen suffered too large losses, and after two or three rounds, they could only fight with the Ming army's bayonets with the archers in the back row.

Although Jian's long-range troops were also equipped with single knives, their ability to fight with white knives was really not worth mentioning, and after more than 100 people were pierced by bayonets, they collapsed.

Liu Guoxuan glanced at the Jianyu cavalry in the distance, and ordered the 300 infantry and sailors to prepare to flank the enemy, and the remaining 400 infantry continued to rush forward.

Lou Guangxian never thought that his front team would lose so quickly. By the time he reacted, the rout had almost fled to his side, and dozens of steps behind him was the sound of firecrackers, and he didn't need to look to know that it was the Ming army following closely.

Ba Duhai was even more surprised, and urgently ordered the Bayala guards to gather the deserters. But these Jianyu bowmen were really frightened by the "iron man" chasing behind them, and they couldn't even care about Bayara, who was usually high up, and still desperately ran to the west.

However, the more than 100 guards of Baduhai were staggered by the surging flow of people, and when they finally waited for the rout to leave, they were just about to get up, but they saw blood-stained bayonets in front of them.

Pity these elites of the Qing Dynasty, they didn't even have a chance to show their superb martial arts, and most of them were stabbed to death with bayonets on the ground.

Lou Guangxian went through some storms in the end, and when he saw the situation, he wanted to pull Baduhai to escape. But the latter drew his saber and shouted: "I am Gushan Beleba Duhai, all show your courage and follow me...... Uh......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked off his horse by several deserters and fell straight to the ground. Lou Guang hurriedly dismounted to help him first, but heard someone not far away shouting: "Aim!" ”

Li Xian saw that his Chinese army's battle formation had collapsed in the blink of an eye, and he was in a hurry at the moment, and he couldn't care about the unorganized formation, so he rushed to reinforcements first.

When he rushed out of the nearly mile, the Ming army suddenly burst into the formation of cannons, and several iron balls slashed through his cavalry group, when even more than a dozen people fell off their horses.

"The Ming army also has artillery?!"

How could he have thought that because the range of these three-pounder cannons was not as good as that of the Qing army's cannons, Liu Guoxuan placed them on the flank at the beginning, but he just let him catch up.

Rushing forward for a while, the tiger squat cannons of the Ming army also began to spew flames, these small cannons are actually very limited in their lethality to the cavalry, but the huge roar made many war horses startled their feet.

Then Li Xian saw a hollow quadrangular formation of three or four hundred people, and all the soldiers in the formation were facing outward with short swords.

Without hesitation, he rushed head-on, but to his surprise found that his mount did not listen to him at all, and turned his head to the west.

When his cavalry was divided into two pieces by the hollow phalanx and bypassed the two sides of the phalanx, dozens of sparkling iron balls were thrown into the cavalry.
