Because the Qing court was weakened and the local economy had not recovered, most of the green battalion soldiers could only wear a cloth gown and a red-topped hat.

Most of the Green Battalion soldiers did not even have a piece of armor, which is why the Green Battalion suffered heavy casualties during the siege.

At this time, Liu Zhong, Li Benshen and other generals led their subordinates to press towards the Ming army's large array, and the Qing army, which was lined up in a neat formation, raised the shield to its chest, and struck the shield with a war knife, advancing like a wall.

In the face of the Ming army, their only advantage was that there were many people, and the soldiers marched in formation, and their comrades were by their side, so that they felt safe and had the courage to charge forward.

One person may be timid to do one thing, but many people, tens of thousands of people do it together, which is more effective than drinking wine to instigate people's courage.

In the midst of the crowd, with many people, they will have nothing to fear.

Li Benshen was wearing armor, holding a war knife and walking in the queue with his subordinates, although the green battalion was reluctant, but on the battlefield, how to come, how to come, after all, there is military law.

The Qing army advanced and soon entered the range of two miles, and at this moment, the Ming artillery roared again.

Li Benshen only saw the artillery in the bright array on the opposite side, one after another, white smoke rose from the muzzle of the cannon, the cannon body retreated sharply, and the soldiers around him suddenly emptied, and a burst of blood rain suddenly fell in the sky.

The 400 rapid-fire guns of the Ming army opened fire in unison, and the Qing army, which was slowly advancing in a dense formation, was immediately hit with a few blanks.

The artillery of the Ming army, with one bombardment, was a straight line, and the shells tore the bodies of the two people in front of them into pieces, and smashed several people in a row, leaving long scarlet blood stains along the way, which was shocking.

"Don't panic, keep going!"

Li Benshen raised his knife to stabilize the morale of the army in the whistling shells, and then as soon as he shouted, a person next to him was hit in the abdomen by a cannonball, and his whole body suddenly arched and deformed, and he was smashed by the cannonball and flew out, knocking down several soldiers behind him in a row.

If you have a comrade by your side, you will feel reliable and be able to strengthen your courage, but if you see your comrades around you being beaten and their limbs splashed, and the hot blood spraying their faces, I am afraid that their courage will immediately fall to the ground and they will not be able to pick it up.

The artillery bombardment of the Ming army, after a round, made the Qing army's liver tremble.

They were still two miles away from the Ming Formation, and if they walked over in formation, it was estimated that the army would have collapsed before they reached the formation.

Li Benshen's neck shrank, and he suddenly shouted: "Charge, scatter and charge!" ”

The Qing army, which was lined up in a dense formation, was already about to collapse at this time, and if they didn't rush forward and vent their fears, then they would have to flee after taking a few shots.

The artillery bombardment of the Ming army made them dare not gather together, they heard the order, suddenly shouted, and ran wildly regardless of the formation, and as soon as they dispersed, the damage caused by the Ming artillery was really smaller.

However, not all the green battalion soldiers scattered and ran wildly, many brainless generals still ordered the soldiers to gather together, form a tight formation, and move forward, and they were naturally greeted by the fierce artillery bombardment of the Ming army, and in the end they were still scattered, spreading their feet and running wildly.

For a time, on the vast battlefield, countless figures were running in the wilderness with weapons.

One after another, the cannonballs smashed into the crowd, smashed people into the air, and smashed the dirt into the air, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

The Qing army relied on the courage of the people, like a tide to the Ming army's array, they panted and ran wildly for more than a mile, and soon entered a distance of two hundred steps, and at this moment, the Ming army's guns raised their guns flat, and a wave of bullets rained down.

When the cavalry faced the Ming army's guns, due to the fast impact speed of the cavalry, the power of the guns was not intuitively reflected.

When the green battalion soldiers rushed up, the guns that were poured intensively almost knocked down a small half of the Qing troops in the front row.

The projectile hit the shield and sparked everywhere, hitting the body, and immediately blood splattered, a large blood hole appeared, and the Qing army fell down in pain.

There was a Qing soldier general, holding a war knife high, charging forward, suddenly hit a gun in the leg, his body fell down violently, fortunately he stabbed the ground with a knife, half kneeling to stabilize his body, to avoid being trampled to death by the soldiers behind.

However, he didn't have time to rejoice, he didn't have time to check the wound, and with a wail, a gun shot pierced the hat above his head, and he immediately fell down with blood splashing everywhere and staring at him.

The Qing army behind stepped on his corpse, and a soldier stepped over his corpse, and his body shook for a while, and he threw himself to death on the corpse.

The Qing soldiers were killed one after another, and they were killed like mowing grass, but after all, the Qing army was numerous, and the Ming army could not kill it at all, so they still used thousands of corpses to pounce on a road and kill the Ming army.

Li Guo didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately roared angrily, "Spearman, go!" ”

Just as the Qing army moved away from the horses and approached the waist-deep trench, Li Guo waved his hand, and the spearmen standing behind the gunners immediately ran forward with spears between the gaps between the gunners, blocking the gunners.

A Qing soldier brandished a war knife and jumped down the trench, wanting to climb up and slash the Ming army's gunners, but the Ming army spearmen who stepped forward suddenly stabbed the Qing army in the abdomen and kicked him down the trench.

The angry sea of shouts sounded in front of the Ming army, the Qing army ran nearly two miles, the strength was not good, the Ming army's spears stabbed indiscriminately, stabbed the Qing army to death, and the blood and flesh were splashed everywhere, and the wind and clouds changed, and the sun and the moon were not bright.

After the Qing army archers entered the firing range, while running, they bent the bow to the full moon, and the arrow pointed obliquely to the sky, throwing a rain of arrows, and then took out another arrow from the quiver, put on the bowstring, and continued to shoot while running.

The flying locusts rising in the sky hung into the Ming army's array, the arrows were inserted into the ground, and the tail of the arrow shaft vibrated and made a slight buzzing sound.

The arrows of the Qing army came, the green battalion soldiers rushed to the trench, and the front of the Ming army was slowly deformed under the impact, and some of the guns had already inserted the sprint, or pulled out the matching knives to participate in the melee combat.

The platoon shot and killed, and at this time it also became a free bombardment, and the Ming army gunners anxiously loaded their ammunition, and then aimed at the Qing army and shot directly.

In the fierce battle, the trench in front of the Ming army was filled with corpses in a short time, and the losses of the Qing army were extremely huge.

Dolgon knew that with the perseverance of the green battalion, it was not easy to rush through the gun formation, collide with the front of the Ming army and fight with the Ming army, and wanted them to break through the Ming army's front, it was wishful thinking, and the green battalion would attack for a while, if the Ming army never retreated, the green battalion estimated that the morale would be lost.

He saw that the front of the Ming army was a little loose, and suddenly shouted urgently: "Quick, taking advantage of the fierce battle in the front, the Ma army seized the opportunity to outflank it from both wings!" ”

After receiving Dolgon's orders, Lou Qin and Wakda were already ready, and they knew that they had a great responsibility, and as soon as they received the military order, they immediately urged the cavalry to go into battle.

Like two big snakes, the cavalry turned a corner, avoiding the front and rushing towards the two wings of the Ming army.

When the cavalry of the Qing army left the big array, Wang Yan already knew what they were going to pull, he calmly put down the clairvoyant mirror, and said to the chess and card officer: "Order the artillery team to immediately adjust the direction, cross the horse army to temporarily cover the rear formation, and the left and right flanks are ready to meet the impact!" ”

Lou Qin struck the war horse's buttocks with a knife, the war horse screamed in pain, and shot out like lightning, and the horse army behind him let out an angry cry, followed by him, galloping rapidly.

The two cavalry, the soldiers came out in two ways, and they tried to bypass the front of the Ming army that was fighting fiercely and attack the two wings of the Ming army.

However, as soon as Lou Qin came around, he encountered a burst of artillery bombardment, and the cavalry suddenly turned on their backs and fell to the ground one after another.

This made him feel a chill in his heart for an instant, and he didn't expect that the artillery of the Ming army could adjust its direction so quickly.

Wakda on the other side suffered the same situation, but they did not stop, and both led the cavalry in the barrage.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed to the flank for two hundred steps, and the Ming army on the left and right flanks immediately raised their firearms.

Li Dingguo and Liu Fangliang drew their swords in their hands almost at the same time, waved their knives and pointed at Qingqi, and let out an angry roar from their mouths, "Platoon, salvo!" ”

The cavalry of the Qing army on the left and right flanks were divided into two waves this time, the first wave was a bow and cavalry attack, and the second wave was a direct impact on the Ming array.

The Qing cavalry braved the rain of bullets, gritted his teeth and rushed to the front of the formation, fired a salvo to return a wave, and immediately turned to a detour, the Ming army was disturbed by the rain of arrows, and there was a trace of chaos in the formation, and nearly 10,000 cavalry troops behind him rushed directly to the Ming formation.

The Ming army fired a volley of guns, hitting head-on, the Qing cavalry hit the horse rejection pile, the horse's belly was pierced by the sharp pile, and the cavalry was hit by the gun, and fell off the horse again and again.

The Qing cavalry paid a lot of casualties and rushed to the front of the battle, but they could bear these casualties, because once they approached the Ming formation, they were ready to slaughter.

Qing cavalry followed one after another, and when they entered a distance of seventy paces, it didn't matter whether the war horse hit the rejecting horse and threw the soldiers away, or the soldiers were shot down and dismounted by the guns, they were about to jump over the trench and hit the Ming Formation.

At this moment, Li Dingguo shouted angrily, "Thunder shook the sky, a swarm of bees!" ”

I saw that in the Ming army's array, a team of soldiers hurriedly took out iron lumps from the wooden box, and after they lit the fire, they took the earth-shattering thunder that flashed with sparks, rushed forward, and when they rushed to the front of the formation, they immediately threw it out.

At the same time, the soldiers carrying a swarm of bees also lit the fuse, and countless rockets flew out.

These were originally weapons used to defend the village, but as a result, the Qing army only attacked the village once, and was beaten back before approaching the wall, making these weapons useless.

At this time, the cavalry who rushed to the front could already see the faces of the Qingming army, they clenched their spears and leaned forward, ready to harvest the Ming army.

Suddenly, a wave of air struck, and the horses and knights rose into the air.

The cavalry who rushed forward felt an earth-shaking force attack, countless huge explosions sounded around them, and the horses and knights fell to the ground like hailstones.

A Jia Lazhangjing, thrown to the ground by a war horse, stood up with a bloody face, his eyes were a little dull and looked around, only to see the surrounding cavalry kept being blown away by the explosion, and countless arrows dragging the fire light were scurrying around him, creating an insurmountable death zone for the Qing army.

Seeing this, the Qing cavalry behind was so frightened that many people couldn't help but hold on to the reins of their horses and stopped.

After the explosion, the surviving Qing Rider woke up like a dream, and suddenly someone yelled, "Run!" Qing Qi turned in a swarm and ran back.

Some of the cavalry did not have time to stop, and suddenly collided with people, and let out a wail.

A very small number of cavalry rushed through the explosion area and jumped over the deep trench, but the Ming soldiers, who made the long soldiers, poked their horses at the torso of the enemy horsemen, and the swordsmen who made the knives picked up the horse's legs and cut them, and the few Qing cavalry were overwhelmed by the Ming army in a moment.

At this time, the Ming army suddenly beat a drum, and the rampaging horse army that was cowering in the rear of the Ming army suddenly became restless.

"Rampage with the Horse Army! Kill! Wang Shixiu, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his gun and shouted.

The war drums urged people to forge ahead, and after Zhao Shenkuan and Qin Shangxing heard the order, the two fierce generals immediately roared angrily: "Brothers, rush! After finishing speaking, they held high the three-eyed firearms, beat their horses out of the battle, and the horse army behind them rushed out from the rear formation, chasing the defeated Qing cavalry!
