When Li Dingguo crashed into the infantry formation of the Qing army, causing confusion among the Qing army, the Kesheng army, which crossed the pontoon bridge, quickly lined up on the official road connecting the south gate of Xiangcheng.

There are two forts on the left and right sides of Xiangcheng in the south, and the official road passes through the middle of the two forts, connects with the pontoon bridge, and separates the two forts from the left and right.

The dragoon battalion crossed the pontoon bridge, after gaining a firm foothold, pushed the line to the left side of the official road, advanced to the left fort, and the follow-up Kesheng infantry continued to pass through the pontoon bridge, and the soldiers marched in formation, when the men and horses approached the south gate of Xiangcheng, the front 1,500 soldiers turned directly to the right on the spot, and then walked down the official road in unison, directly becoming the first horizontal formation.

At this time, the official road was vacated, and the soldiers behind continued to move forward, and then another 1,500 soldiers turned to the left, and also walked down the official road, and after one hundred and fifty paces, the whole team turned backwards, and it became the third horizontal formation.

When the follow-up soldiers filled the official road again, they turned to the right between the first and third formations to form a second horizontal formation.

In this way, after a short while, the Wei army formed three fronts near the official road to block the Nikan army on the right flank.

The armor of the Keshengbu army is distinct, all the soldiers are black cotton armor, there is a flag for every 300 people, and the helmets of each officer have triangular and four-cornered helmets, which are clearly organized, and the transformation from the marching formation to the combat formation is quickly completed.

Nikan urged more than 15,000 horses and horses to brave the artillery attacks of Xiangcheng and the right fort, interspersed through the gap between the two cities, and was just about to cross the official road and cover the western army out of the city from behind, when he saw a group of men and horses, in a moment in front of him, lined up in a strict formation, blocking the road he interspersed.

At this time, the Wei artillery was pushed out by the soldiers, and took the lead in firing at the surging Qing army, the sky roared, more than ten white smoke rose up, and the shells fell into the surging crowd of the Qing army, killing dozens of people immediately.

In an instant, the Qing army that had advanced to the gap between Xiangcheng and Youbao was not only bombarded by artillery from both sides, but also artillery bombardment appeared in front of it.

The interspersed Qing troops were strangled by fire from three sides, advancing in the mud pillars smashed by cannonballs, and people howled and neighed in the crowd, and people were constantly stoned to death, but they still rushed to the front of the Wei army one hundred and fifty paces.

The Qing army was mixed with infantry and cavalry, with cavalry in front and infantry in the rear, rushing towards the Wei front like a mudslide.

The Wei army's self-generated fire gun can break through armor in 70 steps, and there is a probability of injuring the enemy within 150 steps.

If they are all infantry troops, then they will fight when they get closer, but the horse army is fast, and it is necessary to pour as much firepower as possible before the horse army rushes into battle.

"Put!" Jin Xiangang roared.

On the first column of horizontal formation, the Wei soldiers raised their guns one after another, and the sound of "bang-bang-bang" rows of guns and rumbling cannons suddenly rang out, and the Qing cavalry who rushed forward fell down one after another, and the cavalry was thrown away by the war horses, and was immediately drowned by the galloping cavalry.

"Whoosh", the fire flashed in front of the Wei army's front, and countless rockets were shot out screaming, and the smoke filled the entire front.

In the smoke of gunpowder, people howled and horses, and you could see that there were Qing cavalry falling from their horses one after another, but suddenly, a Qing soldier rushed out of the gunsmoke, followed by another horse, and there were constantly war horses rushing out.

The cavalry of the Qing army jumped on their horses and swords, rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder, and their spears were aimed directly at the Wei troops in the front row.

"Boom, boom!" The explosion sounded, and the air wave overturned the Qing cavalry in front of the formation, and one after another earth-shattering thunder exploded in front of the Wei army's front, and the Qing cavalry who had just rushed out of the gunpowder smoke exploded on their backs.

In an instant, under the long-distance bombardment of the Wei army's artillery, the firepower network composed of firearms, rockets, and earth-shaking thunder, the Qing army was carried down in pieces in front of the Wei army's formation, and the corpses went from sparse to dense, and when they reached the front line, they were almost covered with the ground.

Nikan's eyes bulged in shock, and as soon as he pulled the reins of his horse, his speed slowed down, but the horse army in front of him did not stop, and the horse army was a horse army after all, and it was difficult to restrain his charge without a machine gun.

The Qing army stopped in front of the front line, but finally there were still Qing cavalry, with the momentum of ten thousand jun broke into the Wei army's line, the galloping war horse with a huge weight, instantly knocked the Wei army's hands away, the horse army tore a few gaps in the line, and immediately rushed to the second line.

When the Wei soldiers saw that the first horizontal formation was chiseled through by the Qing army, the soldiers on the first horizontal formation immediately formed a circle and a phalanx on the spot to defend themselves.

For a time, they were like a row of stakes inserted in the water, and the Qing army flowed past them like a stream of water, continuing to run to the second front.

At this time, on the second line of the Wei army, the firecracker had already raised the gun, and with the sound of a suona, the gunner body fell back for a while, making a "bang, bang" sound, and the front line was instantly filled with gunsmoke.

When the Nikan army rushed to the left flank, the soldiers of the Western Army had already crashed into the infantry of the Qing army on the left flank, frightened, panicked, and even desperate, and various expressions appeared on the faces of the Qing troops attacking the fort.

Although the Qing army infantry had the advantage of troops, they fought hard for most of the day, suffered heavy casualties but could not take the fortress, and now they were raided by the Western army from behind, and the Qing army was immediately defeated.

The Qing army was defeated like a mountain, and the Qing army that attacked the fortress saw the chaos in the rear, and was actually driven down by the Wei army who held the left fort.

The bannermen who supervised the battle shot a few people, trying to stop the soldiers from escaping, but there were fleeing figures everywhere, and they couldn't stop them at all.

Sun Maosheng was also in the crowd of fleeing, he saw a banner in front of him shooting the deserter, hurriedly bypassed the banner, and together with countless defeated soldiers, bypassed Xiangcheng and fled north.

At this moment, a silver-armored general came with a spear, and the spear directly pierced the chest of the bannerman, and the corpse was raised high.

Sun Maosheng in the crowd spat and scolded that he deserved it, and he followed the flow and ran away.

Shang Kexi, who galloped on horseback, saw the defeated army rushing towards him like a low tide, and knew that the attack on the left flank had failed.

He slashed and killed several defeated soldiers in a row, but he could not stop the rout of the Qing army's infantry army, and he could only be coerced by the defeated army and flee at the moment.

At this time, on the battlefield, the officers and men of the Wei army were aware of the great change in the situation.

Hu Dawei looked at the battlefield fixedly, and saw that the Qing army attacking the fort was defeated, and the Western army chased the defeated army, and suddenly shook the glaive knife in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Dragoon battalion, kill me!" ”

The Wei army on the left flank let out a cheer, covering up all the sounds on the battlefield, and the Wei soldiers were inspired by this to launch a powerful attack on the Qing army.

Shang Ke was pleased to see the formation break up and wanted to stop it, but he happened to see that a silver armor general was holding a big gun, and the red cloak behind him was flying backwards in the gallop, driving the rout directly towards him.

Shang Kexi was shocked, hurriedly turned his horse's head, and retreated north together as the infantry army was routed, but the congestion of men and horses limited his speed.

Coincidentally, at this time, the Qing army and the horse army turned around, but they happened to meet the tiger and horse army who had completed the detour and chased from behind.

The Wei army and the horse army suddenly arrived, rushed away from the Qing army, and directly pounced on the king banner of Shang Kexi.

Xu Heihu took the lead, an axe smashed on the head of an oncoming Qing general, his helmet shattered, blood flowed out of his head, and he fell from his horse with a scream.

Shang Kexi knew how powerful Xu Heihu was, but now the way to retreat was blocked by this black guy, and he just collided, and there was no way to hide.

Shang Kexi is also a tough guy, in the face of the fierce black whirlwind, his face showed ruthlessness, and as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he raised his knife to meet it.

Xu Heihu roared angrily, the big axe swept, Shang Kexi actually bent his waist back, the axe blade flew past the tip of his nose, his body soared, sat up straight again, and then the war knife in his hand was lifted, and the treasure knife cut a hole in Xu Heihu's back, the armor was torn, but there was no blood, and there was a chain mail in the turtle grandson.

Shang Kexi scolded without being surprised, and was about to run away with the horse, but suddenly a strong wind whistled behind him, and a big gun stabbed from behind, the sharp head pierced his back, and then poked out of his chest, and then a huge force came, Shang Kexi felt that he was picked out of the saddle!

Li Dingguo flew over, stabbed Shang Kexi through from behind with a shot, and then used his arms to lift Shang Kexi's body out of the saddle with a spear, and raised it high, blood like rain.

For a while, the people around were stunned, only to hear Li Dingguo let out a deafening roar, "Shang Ke is happy to die!" ”
