Gong Xiaoda led the army to advance steadily, Yang Ji blocked three formations, and lost three formations in a row, losing thousands of men and horses, and bought Gao Jinku three hours of time to attack. But who knew that Gao Jinku's side suffered a heavy defeat, and he couldn't attack the valley at all, but had to turn back to find a breakthrough.

Gao Jinku knew that once the elite Ming army behind pressed up, the Qing army under the attack on both sides would be very dangerous. And Gao Jinku does not know how many troops the Ming army attacked Yazhou, now Yazhou must have been lost, after taking Yazhou, how long will it take for the Ming army to arrive for reinforcements, these situations, for Gao Jinku, who is trapped in the mountains, are all in front of the black, and it is not clear at all.

Hearing that the Ming army behind him was only more than 2,000 people, Gao Jinku temporarily decided to turn around and attack Gong Xiaoda.

Wang Xinyu found that Gao Jinku had given up the attack on the front line of Ganshi Mountain, turned back, and knew that the Qing army wanted to kill a horse gun and break out from Gong Xiaoda's side.

"Send a wolf smoke signal, tell Gong Xiaoda, and let him find a favorable terrain to block the Tartar!" Wang Xinyu gave the order.

Gong Xiaoda saw the wolf smoke signal rising in the direction of Ganshi Mountain, and knew that Gao Jinku's attack had completely failed, and then the Qing army would regard this place as a weak breakthrough and launch a crazy attack.

"We must not let the Tartars pass us! If they want to run, they can run from the mountains and forests, and let the Miao and Li people deal with them! Want to get over the main road? To ask if we agree! A group of routed Tartar soldiers, and we still let them pass? That's too embarrassing for our Zheng Jiajun! Gong Xiaoda pointed to the official road in front of him and shouted.

More than 2,000 infantry marched to a valley and halted their advance.

Gong Xiaoda observed the terrain and found that the road here was narrow, the outside of the valley was open land, and the valley mouth was extremely narrow, which could only accommodate four war horses side by side. If the Qing army did not rush through the valley pass, they could only enter the dense forests on both sides. As long as the Ming army blocked the valley mouth, the Qing army would be unable to fly.

"Thirty steps back and form a formation outside the valley mouth!" Gong Xiaoda asked his soldiers to pass the order.

The Ming army formed a formation outside the valley mouth, with twenty ironclad soldiers in full armor and iron-faced armor in front, erecting iron shields as human-shaped castles, and putting two rows of wooden horses in front of the ironclad soldiers. Behind the ironclads were bands of pikemen. Twelve heavy muskets were lifted up and mounted behind the horses. The musketeers stood in three rows behind the rejecting horses, ready for battle. The archers stood behind the musketeers, compensating for the weakness of the muskets' slow rate of fire.

As soon as the formation was formed, the Qing army led by Yang Ji appeared in the valley.

"Kill the dog!" The Qing army held their shields high, brandished their swords, and rushed towards Taniguchi with a shout.

When they were about to arrive at the valley mouth, because the valley mouth was narrow, all the Qing troops were crowded together, rushing to the outside of the valley mouth, and became a bunch of excellent live targets.

"Put!" Gong Xiaoda gave an order.

The four heavy muskets emitted a deafening roar, and the projectiles the size of goose eggs burrowed into the crowd of Qing troops, shattering the shields and shattering the wooden shields, killing and wounding the Qing soldiers behind them like shrapnel. The projectile that pierced the shield continued to move forward, pulling a blood line through the crowd and smashing countless shields. When a Qing soldier is shot, he is shot in the head, and his head turns into a rotten watermelon; When he was shot in the arm, his entire arm was gone; He was shot in the upper body, and his entire body was beaten to pieces.

The Qing saber player screamed and fell a large piece.

The eight gunners who had finished firing immediately retreated behind the ironclad men with heavy muskets, cleaned the barrels, and loaded the gunpowder and pellets. The eight heavy musketeers in the second round of shooting fired, and four more projectiles flew out, tearing out four flesh alleys in the crowd of Qing troops.

The third round of heavy muskets opened fire again, and in the blink of an eye, the valley mouth was filled with the corpses of the Qing soldiers.

The Qing saber player fell, revealing the pikemen and archers behind them.

The "boom boom" muskets spewed out white smoke, and the three hundred musketeers fired in a three-stage pattern, and the projectiles shot at Taniguchi in an endless stream, and the Qing soldiers who rushed over fell one after another.

The Qing archers in the valley threw a row of arrows, but because the valley mouth was narrow, the fan of the arrows shot by the Qing army from inside was too small to be used at all.

The ironclad immediately stepped forward, crouched on the ground, raised his shield, and helped the musketeers and archers block the injurious arrows.

Most of the arrows were blocked by shields and ironclad soldiers, and a few of the arrows that fell fell from the top down, and the Ming musketeers and archers only had to bow their heads and block the arrows with the bright helmets on their heads to protect the front door. Even if an arrow landed on the shoulder, these light arrows could not damage musketeers and archers wearing chain mail.

A small number of Qing soldiers rushed out of the valley, holding their shields high, and rushed towards the Ming army.

Projectiles and arrows were fired in unison, and the Qing soldiers without shield protection fell in pools of blood. A small number of Qing soldiers in armor and shields blocked the attack of projectiles and bows and arrows, and rushed to the horse.

The spear behind the horse kept stabbing out, removing the shield of the Qing soldiers, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced the armor and took the lives of the Qing soldiers.

The valley was narrow, and the Qing army was too numerous to exert its might.

Taniguchi's corpses were piled up, and most of the Qing soldiers were killed in Taniguchi. A few of them were either shot with muskets and bows and arrows, or rushed to the front of the horses and were stabbed to death with spears. There were also a few particularly brave Qing soldiers, and after slashing a few spears, they were hacked to death by the ironclad soldiers who rushed out from the side of the rejection.

Yang Ji attacked two more rounds, but was easily repelled by the Ming army.

When Gao Jinku arrived with the main force, he saw Yang Ji with a depressed face and the defeated remnants of the defeated army.

"Gao Zhentai, the Haikou in front occupies a favorable terrain, although the general tried his best, but he rushed three times, but he couldn't break away." Yang Ji turned over and dismounted, walked to the horse that entered the warehouse, knelt on one knee, and clenched his fists.

The shield carts of the Qing army have been lost, the auxiliaries have scattered a lot, and the people who are running slowly have been left behind, and most of them have been captured by Wang Xinyu and them. The Qing soldiers did not have siege weapons in their hands, and they had no time to build them, so they could only rush hard.

Gao Jinku shouted: "Attack in a team!" Shields in front, spears and bows in the back! ”

The Qing army attacked again, the war drums rumbled, the flags waved, and more than two hundred shield-bearers lined up in six long lines and rushed out towards the valley mouth.

Gong Xiaoda ordered twelve heavy muskets to be fired in two rounds, one heavy musket to shoot at the Qing soldiers all the way, and the six were just aimed at the six Qing soldiers and shield hands.

Seeing the Qing soldiers rushing out of the valley, the six heavy fire door guns spewed out white smoke of flames, and the huge projectile shattered the shields of the first row of Qing soldiers, knocking the front Qing soldiers to the ground, the bullets penetrated the soft body, and penetrated the second shield behind, knocking the second Qing soldier out of the air, hitting the third shield, and the Qing soldiers behind fell to pieces.

Then in the second round of shooting, a large number of Qing soldiers were knocked down.

However, the formation of Gao Jinku's swing was relatively loose, and the distance between the front and rear was also relatively wide, and the two rounds of heavy musket shots did not block the impact of the Qing soldiers.

The Qing saber and shield men rushed out of the valley and rushed towards the formation of the Ming army.

The musketeers and archers behind the horses shot desperately, the projectiles hit the shields like rain, and the arrows flew into the crowd of the Qing army, and many Qing soldiers fell. But there were still many Qing soldiers who relied on their shields and heavy armor protection to rush to the Ming army's rejection of the horse, drawing their swords and slashing the rejection of the horse.

"Spear, forward!" Gong Xiao shouted.

A sharp spear stabbed out from behind the horse, picked up the shield, pierced the armor of the Qing soldiers, and pierced into the **. A large number of Qing soldiers fell in front of the rejection of the horses.

Followed by a row of chaotic arrows from the Qing soldiers who rushed out, the arrows drew arcs in the air, falling towards the Ming army's formation like locusts flying in the sky.

The ironclad soldiers blocked most of the arrows, but there were still quite a few Ming arrows. None of the Ming soldiers who were shot by the arrows were injured, but some people were shot by arrows on their arms, calves and other parts without armor, and a scream sounded in the crowd of the Ming army. There were also two unlucky Ming soldiers, who were shot in the face and fell to the ground.

The Qing army threw axes and javelins into the crowd of Ming troops.

Except for the ironclad soldiers who were shot by axes and javelins, the other soldiers were shot by the axes and javelins of the Qing army, many people were wounded, and several Ming soldiers were killed.

The spears of the Ming army behind the rejection horse stabbed out one after another, constantly stabbing the Qing soldiers down.

In the rear of the Ming army, a row of bombardiers with national surname bottles appeared in their hands, throwing rows of national surname bottles emitting green smoke into the crowd of Qing soldiers.

"Boom, boom, boom" explosions were repeated, and the national surname bottle exploded into a ball of fireball in the crowd of Qing soldiers. Countless white smoke rose up, broken porcelain pieces and thistles flew in the sky, and a large number of Qing soldiers fell screaming.

The shield bearers in front were blown open, revealing the Qing spearmen and archers behind.

The musketeers and archers took the opportunity to shoot and knock down the Qing soldiers. The twelve heavy muskets that had been loaded were lifted out again, and they were directly placed on the shoulders of the ironclad soldiers in front of them, and the muzzles of the guns spewed out balls of flames.

Spearmen and swordsmen continued to stab out from behind the horses, from behind the ironclad soldiers, and pieces of Qing soldiers were overturned in pools of blood.

The first round of the Qing attack was pushed back, but they also destroyed some of the rejections.

Gao Jinku launched two more rounds of attacks, at the cost of dropping more than a thousand corpses, destroying the rejection of horses in front of the Ming army. At this time, the ironclad soldiers turned into a humanoid castle and stood at the front of the line, blocking the swords and guns of the Qing army. The swords and spears of the Qing soldiers slashed at the ironclad soldiers, leaving only white marks; The spear pierced it, and even the barrel of the spear was bent, but it still couldn't pierce it. The ironclad soldiers kept slashing the Qing soldiers around them with the Miao knives in their hands. Many ironclad swords have been curled, so they can only pick up the Qing soldier's knives from the ground, pick up the spear, and continue to kill the enemy.

The pikemen behind the ironclad soldiers formed a formation, using the ironclad soldiers to protect themselves, and rows of spears stabbed and stabbed the Qing soldiers down one after another. The musketeers and archers fired freely, killing a large number of Qing soldiers.

Just when the Qing army and the Ming army were entangled, Gao Jinku ruthlessly ordered the cavalry to attack.

Gong Xiaoda, who was standing on the watchtower, saw the Qing cavalry dispatching, and immediately waved the small flag to let the infantry disperse, revealing the twelve tiger squatting cannons in the rear formation.

The valley mouth is narrow, and only four horses can charge side by side. The cavalry of the Qing army rushed to the front of the valley, turned into four long formations, and rushed towards the Ming army formation outside the valley.

"Put!" A Ming soldier pointed forward the small flag in the commander's hand.

Six Tiger squat cannons loaded with solid shells roared, and the shells burrowed into the ravine. At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army happened to be lined up in four long rows, and every solid cannonball drilled into the crowd of people and horses could pull out a long string of sugar gourds. The cannonball smashed the cavalry and horses at the front, and then hit the second horse, and then the cannonball bounced on the ground, killing many horses and many Qing cavalry in a row, before falling to the ground and no longer moving.

The six Tiger Squat Cannons immediately began to reload, and the other six Tiger Squat Cannons were fired immediately after.

Countless people and horses fell in the canyon, and two rounds of shooting caused hundreds of casualties among the cavalry of the Qing army!

As soon as the shelling ended, when the gunners were loading gunpowder and shells, twelve heavy muskets were divided into two rows, aimed at the Qing cavalry and fired two rows of projectiles, overturning dozens of Qing cavalry.

However, the heavy musket guns and tiger squat cannons could not stop the Qing cavalry who were eager to escape from the canyon, and the Qing cavalry that was not dead behind had already rushed out of the canyon and rushed towards the Ming army fifty paces away.

There were not many Qing infantry in front of the Ming army, and the few Qing soldiers who did not run away were trampled to death by their own cavalry.

Seeing the Qing cavalry coming up, the Ming army's ironclad soldiers quickly retreated, the pikemen stepped forward, the first row of pikemen stuck their spears on the ground, and the pikemen behind formed a formation, and the tips of the wood-like spears flashed with cold light, stinging the eyes of the Qing cavalry.

If it was peacetime, it was impossible for the Qing army to use cavalry to charge the spear formation, they would choose to take a detour, harass with bows and arrows, look for opportunities, and wait until the Ming army's formation was chaotic before rushing to kill. But now this is mountainous terrain, there is only one road that can be passed, no matter how many infantry are sent to death in front of the Ming army's ironclad soldiers, only the cavalry can break the ironclad soldiers. In order to escape from death, the Qing army had to use cavalry to charge the spear array.

"Whoosh" The Qing cavalry shot a volley of arrows.

The arrows burrowed into the crowd of Ming pikemen, and some fell, but the pikemen behind immediately filled in and filled the vacancy.

Before the cavalry of the Qing army collided with the spear array, a row of cavalry in front of them first encountered a horse trap, and suddenly the people turned over on their backs and fell down. The cavalry in the rear continued to rush forward. Seeing the cold and shining tip of the spear, the war horse was moved by fear. But the cavalry clamped with spurs, and the horses suffered pain and forced the charge.

The ironclad soldier took out the national surname bottle from his body, ignited it and threw it, and exploded the flesh and blood of the Qing army rushing in front. The ironclad soldiers who had finished throwing the national surname bottle quickly retreated. As soon as he retreated to the back, he heard a rumbling sound, and the horse in front of him collided with the spear stuck in the ground. The front row of Qing army war horses were stabbed into a blur of flesh and blood, people fell to the ground, and the stabbed dead war horses rushed into the crowd under the action of inertia, knocking several pikemen away.
