The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 241
It can only be said that the high-intensity training of the Liberation Army was not in vain!
Even if the front lines of the two sides were in chaos, they quickly completed the assembly.

The heavy armored soldiers resisted at the forefront, and slashed at the heavy steps of the Qing army.

The sound of gold and iron clashing continued, and the clanging was extremely lively.

However, the casualties on both sides were indeed not many.

On the battlefield, it is not an easy task to kill a heavy armored infantry with cold weapons.

The heavy armor on the heavy armored infantry is not a decoration!
The musketeers behind the heavy armor of the Restoration Army took out the cardboard fixed bullets and loaded them quickly.

Gunpowder, lead bullets and paper shells were all stuffed into the barrel of the gun.

Then compact it with a cleaning rod!

Snapped!clap clap!

On the front line where the two sides were fighting, gunshots continued to ring out.

The Qing army, who was fighting with the Guangfu army in the front, fell to the ground continuously.

Some people were directly killed by musket shots in the face, a large hole was blasted in the chest by lead bullets, and their heads turned into rotten watermelons.

However, some people were not hit in the vitals, but the lead bullets hit the limbs, and the piercing pain surged like a tide.

"what!"

"It hurts!"

"..."

However, the Qing army's counterattack was equally sharp.

A Qing army archer bent his bow and set an arrow, throwing arrows at the formation of the Restoration Army.

The arrows rained down and hit the armor, clanging!
However, some unlucky ones were shot through the gaps in the armor by arrows, and the sharp arrows pierced into the flesh, screaming endlessly.

Some Qing infantry archers used hard bows and heavy arrows, bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at the recovery army in front of them.

collapse!
The sound of the bowstring exploding was extremely ear-piercing!
An arrow was shot, piercing the breastplate of Mr. Guangfu's heavy armor.

The recovery soldier fell heavily to the ground, breathing very weakly.

Another heavy armored soldier of the Restoration Army was shot in the face, and the arrow was shot through the eye socket and penetrated the skull.

Blood mixed with brain matter gushes out from the wound!

People suddenly lost their vitality!
The fierce confrontation between the two sides!

Live for life!

There is no trickery at all in the way the two sides are playing now.

Heavy armor cuts at each other, musketeers and infantry shoot at each other.

Due to the dense formation of both sides, it is impossible to even dodge.

Just grit your teeth and persevere!

Die or win, there is no other possibility!
The artillery on both sides is still roaring!

The Qing army's heavy artillery bombarded Tanzhou Town continuously, and the artillery shells smashed the buildings to pieces. The artillery of the Liberation Army threw fire at the Qing army's infantry.

Shells flew across the battlefield, and gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield.

The blood gathered into a stream, almost turning the ground under his feet into blood mud.

The soldiers of Pingnan Palace couldn't hold on any longer!
Many of them have seen blood and been on the battlefield, that's right!
But, that was a long time ago!
Shang Kexi took the main force to Nan'ao to quell the rebellion, and the standing troops stationed in Guangzhou by the Pingnan Prince's Mansion are only about a thousand people.

Shang Zhixin pulled out 7000 people in one breath, many of them were not standing troops, they were just subordinate bannermen of Prince Ping's Mansion.

Although these people used to be old soldiers, they had already left the battlefield for a long time.

In the midst of prosperity and wealth, it is unknown how many bloody people are left!

However, what is certain is that most people don't have the kind of courage to fight that was not afraid of life and death when they were young.

At the beginning, the Qing army's attack was fierce!

The two sides fought fiercely, and corpses lay all over the battlefield.

But as time passed, the heavy armored infantry on the front line of the Qing army began to feel fearful when faced with the black muzzle.

Actions began to sluggish, no longer decisive!

A grenadier from the Restoration Army lit a grenade and threw it towards the formation of the Qing Army.

Black smoke rose from the tail of the wooden-handled grenade, arced through the air, and landed in the Qing army formation.

Explosions sounded one after another!

Boom!Boom!

In the thunderous explosion, the flames and smoke engulfed many Qing soldiers.

The fragments tore apart the heavy armor on the Qing army!

Finally, the attacking troops of the Qing army could no longer hold on!
Going down like a tide!
However, in the fight just now, the Liberation Army also suffered heavy casualties, unable to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

There are corpses lying on the battlefield!

There are those from the Restoration Army and those from the Qing Army, with broken limbs and arms, and broken weapons and armor can be seen all the time.

In a fierce battle, although the Qing army was repelled, the Guangfu army also suffered heavy losses!

500 defenders, in the fierce battle just now, nearly [-] people died on the spot.

There are countless injured people!
The number of Liberation Army soldiers who can still continue to fight is estimated to be less than [-]% of what they were before the war.

"Hold on, everyone!"

"The reinforcements led by His Highness Jian Guo will arrive soon!"

"As long as our side can hold on, when His Royal Highness Jian Guo leads the reinforcements to kill, we will be able to encircle and wipe out this Eight Banners soldier."

"Behead Shang Zhixin, the traitor!"

The officers of the Liberation Army spoke passionately to boost the morale of the soldiers below.

Even if the Liberation Army has a firm will to fight, morale will still drop after such a hard fight.

At this time, the officers must play their role to boost the morale of the soldiers!

……

On the other side, Shang Zhixin was furious about the failure of the attack again.

"Damn!"

"Damn it!"

"What the hell is going on? Isn't it just a small town with hundreds of thieves? Why can't they be defeated?"

The general of the Shang family, who had just led the attack, knelt on the ground, and said in a voice full of fear.

"His Royal Highness, it's not that the soldiers don't want to die!"

"It's really impossible to attack!"

The furious Shang Zhixin whipped his horsewhip.

With a bang, a bloodstain was drawn on the face of the famous general, and blood oozed profusely.

"Damn it, pass the order down and attack again!"

"I don't believe that I can't win such a small town of Tanzhou!"

However, just as the Qing army was rectifying its troops and horses, preparing to launch another attack.

A messenger came running from a distance!

The messenger's face was full of fear and panic, he knelt down in front of Shang Zhixin's horse with a plop, and then spoke.

"His Royal Highness, something is wrong!"

"A Ming army has been killed from the direction of Zhongshan, and it is advancing towards Tanzhou Town!"

"The sentinels sent news that Sanxiang Township has fallen!"

"Our retreat is cut off!"

When Shang Zhixin heard this, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off his horse.

"What the hell is going on?"

Shang Zhixin forced himself to be calm, and asked while riding on the horse.

His voice was full of tremors, and the back of the hand holding the horsewhip was full of blue veins.

The sentry said.

"No...don't know!"

"But what is certain is that the Ming army came after us!"

Shang Zhixin couldn't hold back anymore, he flicked the whip in his hand bitterly, and said.

"Special!"

"Damn Ming thief, you really deserve to be killed!"

"Order the army to stop attacking Tanzhou Town, repair in place, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"..."

Facing the pressure from his back, Shang Zhixin stopped the attack on Tanzhou Town.

An order was given to the Qing army, and the Qing army was ordered to repair and prepare for war.

The cavalry of the Qing army were also dispersed and used as sentry cavalry.

Responsible for reconnaissance of the battlefield situation and mastering the enemy's dynamics.
