Quzhou Mansion, under the Xianxia Mountains.

The Jingying army backed against the foot of the mountain and set up a formation, waiting for Zheng Zhilong to come to the door.

Zheng Zhilong, relying on his strong troops, was not polite, and directly launched a large army to attack the Beijing camp.

Sure enough, as Cha Xuan imagined, the 25,000 Beijing battalion was half less than the strength of Fuzhou Town, and when he saw the lineup of Fuzhou Town, his heart began to feel a little uneasy, after all, these people had only undergone three months of training, and they had never been on the battlefield, and panic was inevitable.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao are both battlefield veterans, although they have been fighting at sea for a long time, but they are all reasonable, how can they not see the shortcomings of the Beijing camp lineup?

"Haha, brother, do you see? The world says that Zhu Jie is the contemporary god of war, winning a hundred battles, the Tianwei Army and the three towns of Nanjing are so strong that they are unparalleled in the world, I think it's a fart, look at the Beijing camp in front of you, it's not bullshit, we haven't started to attack yet, they are already a little unprepared! ”

Zheng Zhilong laughed.

Zheng Zhibao said with a smile: "What the eldest brother said is, after all, their troops are only half of ours, and our Fuzhou Town has a lot of soldiers, and this formation alone is enough to scare their courage, and they can defeat Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong, I really don't know what shit luck they have taken......

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Zuo Liangyu? He claimed to be an army of 100,000, but he was just indiscriminately filling the numbers, he only knew how to expand his troops, and he never knew the way of the battle array, and the soldiers were not expensive; As for Zhang Xianzhong, he is just a bandit, but also a group of rabble, all of them are homeless, some even carry hoes and shovels in battle, and even worse, they just carry a burning stick in their hands, how can such strength be able to fight, of course, it is vulnerable, our Zheng family is different, which of our private army is not well-equipped and sharp? Hehe, today, we are going to defeat the Beijing camp in front of us in one fell swoop! ”

"Big brother, I'll personally command the attack!"

Zheng Zhibao shouted loudly, "Order, artillery battalion to carry out artillery bombardment, cavalry battalion, attack!" ”

Zheng Zhibao gave an order, and all the fifteen red-clothed artillery pieces brought by Fuzhou Town were put into the battle, and the shells roared straight to the Beijing army!

Boom Boom Boom ......

One shell after another fell on the positions of the Jingying!

"Be careful, dodge, dodge! Watch out for shells! ”

As soon as the sound of artillery came to mind, the new troops on the Beijing camp position began to panic, fortunately, there were not only new troops in the army, but also some veterans, as for the generals of each department, they were all drawn from the elite of the firearms battalion, experienced, and hurriedly shouted, commanding the new army to avoid the shelling of Fuzhou Town, the timid new army has begun to tremble, and the soldiers who have not seen blood, even if the equipment is strong, need to be sharpened on the battlefield.

At this time, the cavalry battalion of Fuzhou Town had already begun to attack.

Fuzhou Town is far away in Tiannan, and the number of this cavalry is very small, and the entire Fuzhou Town plus Zheng Zhilong's private army is only two cavalry battalions, less than 2,000 troops.

However, even if it is two thousand cavalry, the combat power should not be underestimated, and the speed and strength of the momentum are by no means comparable to the infantry.

Two thousand cavalry roared in, the two sides were apart, but the distance was only two or three miles, and in the blink of an eye, they could reach the front of the Beijing camp's position!

"Zhenghang, order the artillery to return fire and let them see our firearms! The musket battalion is ready to attack, do not let the opponent's cavalry rush up! ”

Cha Xuan's expression was calm, without the slightest panic, even the Manchurian elite cavalry had seen it, the Fuzhou Town cavalry in front of him was not worth mentioning at all, compared to the combat power, I am afraid that these two cavalry battalions are not as strong as the combat power of the Manchurian elite cavalry and the two Niu Lu.

Zhao Zhenghang personally sat in the artillery position and began to direct the artillery battalion to attack, and when the cavalry had just rushed out of the position, the artillery had already begun to roar!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery of the Beijing camp is even more powerful, far better than Fuzhou Town, in addition to a large number of red-coated artillery, there are also flowering cannons, this powerful power, absolutely shocking!

A burst of shells fell on the road of the cavalry charge, setting off a huge stream of smoke and dust, and the flowering shells exploded everywhere, setting off a strong smoke of gunpowder, a wave of attacks, so that the offensive of the cavalry in Fuzhou Town was contained, under the attack of artillery fire, a group of war horses made an amazing neighing, scurrying around, the cavalry neat queue, scattered at the time!

This, completely in Zheng Zhibao's expectation, if only one charge, can take the position of the Beijing camp, then Nanjing City has already fallen into the hands of the Manchurian Tartars, why bother Dolgon to ask for an alliance with the Zheng family to jointly attack the Ming Dynasty?

Zheng Zhibao personally commanded the cavalry to continue to charge forward, and the cavalry began to continue to charge forward, approaching the position of the Beijing camp, and advanced two miles in the blink of an eye!

At this time, the artillery rang out for the second time, and dozens of shells fell on the route of the cavalry charge, and the shock caused by this attack to the cavalry was even more serious, and even the cavalry and the war horses were blown up into the air by the flowering bullets, becoming a puddle of minced meat!

The cavalry began to panic a little, although the soldiers of the Beijing camp did not look good, but the power of this artillery was too great, and before they could touch it, there were already nearly 100 casualties!

Fortunately, Dong Yu, the guerrilla general of the cavalry battalion, is not a mediocre hand, and now he is less than two miles away from the position of the Beijing battalion, and in the two miles of the forward assault, in the blink of an eye, the artillery battalion has no chance to open fire, and now is the best time!

"Brothers, rush, there are still two miles to go, and as long as we rush into a distance of five hundred paces, their artillery will not be able to hit us, rush! rushed over, we are the first merit, Hou Ye has a heavy reward! ”

The cavalrymen, whose morale was originally starting to be low, heard Dong Yu's cheers, and began to cheer up again, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, Zheng Zhilong has never been stingy with his brothers, as long as he wins the battle, he will always be rewarded!

"Rush, rush!"

One by one, the cavalry began to shout and continue to charge forward.

Dong Yu is right, the fastest firing speed of the artillery takes three minutes to be able to fire a shot, even the Franc cannon takes a minute or two to complete the launch, one minute is enough for the cavalry to rush out of the distance of thousands of steps.

Soon, the advance of the cavalry had reached a distance of less than three hundred paces from the front of the position, and it was about to storm the soldiers of the Beijing camp at the front.

Cha Xuan looked coldly into the distance, and said sharply: "Order, the musket battalion will attack, shoot with all your might!" Beat all these cavalrymen into a sieve for me! ”
