Numerous armoured men rushed forward and rushed to the array of the second regiment, and then fell one after another under heavy artillery fire and bullets; At the same time, the soldiers of the second regiment were also hit by heavy arrows, and the thin two rows of horizontal columns seemed to be unable to withstand the explosive charge of the opponent at close range, and as the soldiers fell one after another, the horizontal column became thin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xia Nan decisively ordered: "The second regiment cannot be allowed to withstand the attack alone, except for artillery, the first regiment and the independent regiment are both on the list, disrupt the regimental structure, fill in as long as there is a vacancy, and keep the firepower uninterrupted." When the enemy is close, put on the bayonet, and when the bayonet is broken, bite it with his teeth, so that the white flag of Azig will dry the blood in front of this front! ”

The battle soon heated up. The sound of guns and shouts of killing was deafening, and the dense Houjin army rushed towards the thin horizontal line like a tide, and heavy arrows and lead bullets staggered through the air, harvesting each other's lives.

Azig personally took Bayala to supervise the battle in the rear, brandishing his saber and shouting: "Rush up for me, cut off the heads of the barbarians, reward each head with fifty taels of silver, and coat three people, and those who linger and retreat will die!" ”

Xia Nan also appeared in the rear and said loudly: "The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, the position cannot be lost, everyone is not allowed to retreat, and death will die in their own position!" ”

The 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment moved to their respective positions as reserves, and immediately replenished the weak front, and the gradually thinning firepower increased again, and the armored soldiers were beaten by a dense barrage at a distance of thirty or forty paces, and the opponent was close at hand, but still out of reach.

Azig turned the archers on either side and threw light arrows from behind the charging armourers. As for whether such a close distance will accidentally hurt his own people, he doesn't care so much.

The deafening sound of guns and cannons drowned out the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the rain of arrows seemed to silently cross the heads of the armored soldiers, draw an arc, and fall overwhelmingly towards the front line of the Qiong navy.

The sound of sharp blades entering the flesh and the sound of metal striking "clanging" came and went, and a rain of arrows indiscriminately covered the two warring sides within thirty paces, and the Qiong naval soldiers who were shooting and the gold-armored soldiers who were shooting fell in pieces. Even with the shield of armor, the arrows falling from the sky have a bonus of gravitational acceleration, and still penetrate the weak armor defenses of the head, neck, and shoulders, and the proportion of armored soldiers who die under their own arrows is not much less than that of unarmored opponents.

Xia Nan saw it in the rear and took a breath, this Azig is really ruthless enough, even killing his own people. However, this trick worked, and the indiscriminate attack of suicide suddenly weakened the density of firepower in front of them, and the armor soldiers got closer and closer.

At the same time, the sound of desolate conchs sounded, and Abatai and Yanguli in the rear also moved, and they led a large group of cavalry around the battlefield directly in front of them and launched an attack on the Jan navy from the flank. In the summer, Nan's heart tightened, and the real test came. Due to the "thin red line" tactics of the horizontal formations against the Azig, there was no hollow phalanx with a focus on defense, and there was not enough protection on the flanks, and it would be a massacre if the cavalry were allowed to charge unscrupulously.

He set his sights on Shanxi Town and Xuanfu Town on both sides. Wang Pu is a waste, and now it depends on whether these two friendly forces are powerful.

Fortunately, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu did not disappoint him. Thousands of cavalry from each of the two armies were sent to meet the men and horses of Yanguli and Abatai, leaving them without time to attack the flanks of the Joan navy.

"Good!" Xia Nan shook his fist fiercely, there are always some men in the Ming army who have not lost their blood, and they can be trusted when it is critical.

Without the worries on both sides, the Joan navy can devote itself to the battle with Azig.

Just when the cavalry on both sides were entangled, there were already many white-flaged armored soldiers in the main battlefield in the center, and under the cover of the rain of arrows, they rushed into the opponent's formation, and the local positions began a hand-to-hand white-knuckle battle.

Azig raised his sword excitedly and shouted wildly - rushing into the opponent's formation, almost declaring his opponent dead. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, Daikin's warriors have no opponents, and the next battle should be a one-sided slaughter. Although the firearms of these Cantonese barbarians were far beyond his imagination, and the casualties in this battle were greatly beyond expectations, the result was still undoubted.

Abatai, who was in the distance, took the time to look at this side, looked at Azig's excited appearance, sneered, and said in his heart: Do you think the battle is over? In fact, it has just begun, and Qionghai Town's hand-to-hand combat ability is far beyond your imagination of King Yingjun. For some reason, at this moment, the balance in his heart actually tilted to the enemy's side, and he wished that the Qiong Navy would give the invincible Azig a dismount, lest this guy always laugh at his incompetence.

The Joan navy did not disappoint Abatai, and after being approached by a large group of armor soldiers and disrupting the formation, the soldiers calmly raised their rifles, and formed a battle group on the spot in groups of five or ten, and fought against the brave opponent with collective strength.

Although the individual combat effectiveness of the Houjin armor soldiers was far above that of the Qiong Navy, they could not gain the upper hand in the face of the bayonet formation, and the heavy mace and sharp knives flew up and down, not hitting a few people, but were stabbed one after another by neat stabs, and fell to the ground screaming.

The gunfire gradually subsided, and the entire front slowly entered a white-knuckle battle, and the fierce shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield, mixed with the sound of metal clashing with swords. Under the organization of the officers, the staggered battle group slowly moved closer, and the array that had been disrupted by the opponent gradually returned to a neat line, standing still under the impact of dense armor.

Wei Lianheng gave a death order to the battalion commanders on the front line: "The general has an order: the position cannot be lost, and death will be in his own position, and anyone who retreats without authorization will be dealt with by military law!" ”

Although the Qiong Navy did not have a supervising team like Houjin Bayala, nor did it have such a bloody way as cutting off his head on the spot, the strictness of military discipline was not inferior to that of the other party, and they relied on a relatively perfect welfare system. The families of the martyrs who died on the battlefield not only receive generous pensions, but also have preferential treatment policies for their families, whether they are farming, working, or doing business. On the contrary, if you become a deserter, not only will you be punished by the Judge Advocate General, but you will be whipped, expelled from the army or even executed according to the severity of the consequences, and your family members will be driven out of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Qiong Navy - in the entire Ming Dynasty, the people at the bottom may not have a better life than under the rule of the Qiong Navy. To be expelled from the country is to fall from heaven to hell and return to the troubled times when human life was as cheap as grass.

Further to heaven and one step back to hell, this choice is not difficult to make. Even for the sake of a good life for their families, the soldiers had no reason to retreat. They roared, bursting out with incredible strength, fighting to the death with the sturdy hunters from the white mountains and black waters, without taking a single step back.
