The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 242 The First Battle of the Eight Banners (for Subscription)

At the same time, the main force of the recovery army led by Zhu Hongyu went south from Sanxiang Township to Tanzhou Township.

The cavalry of the Restoration Army were also dispersed and used as sentinels!
Before the main forces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties had time to meet, the cavalry had already started fighting.

The cavalry of both sides encountered each other frequently, and battles continued.

Fight fiercely!

But in this process, the Ming army was at an absolute disadvantage.

The number of cavalry in the Ming army was limited, and most of the cavalry were mounted infantry who had just learned how to ride horses.

Let them turn in on horseback, pass on news, and find out information, but they can't play horseback riding and archery.

Facing the fine cavalry of the Qing army, they will naturally be suppressed to the disadvantage.

As cavalry encounters broke out more and more frequently, Zhu Hongyu realized very clearly that the enemy was not far away from him.

Dang even ordered the army to camp in place and prepare for repairs.

The two sides are about to encounter an outbreak of battle, and he must ensure that the physical strength of the Liberation Army is restored to its peak.

In the best condition, meet the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army!

This is the first time the Guangfu Army has fought the Eight Banners soldiers, even if the opponent is only the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but be careless!

……

The 16th year of Yongli in Ming Dynasty, the first year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, 1662 in Western calendar, April [-]th.

The Ming army and the Qing army met in the field outside Tanzhou Town, and the war officially broke out!
boom!Boom!

The cannons are booming!

The dull sound of artillery resounded throughout the battlefield, and the artillery positions arranged by both sides were fiercely firing at each other!

The shells flew across the battlefield, causing considerable damage to the soldiers on both sides!
Shang Zhixin looked at the Ming army coming aggressively, his face was full of disdain.

"Order the cavalry to attack!"

Following Shang Zhixin's order, the cavalry of the Qing army leaped out and charged towards the formation of the recovery army.

The formation of the Liberation Army quickly adjusted its formation and prepared to meet the enemy.

Zhu Hongyu rode on horseback, looked at the battlefield, and quickly commanded the recovery army to adjust to a hollow phalanx to deal with the cavalry.

The cannons are booming!

Shotguns and solid bullets flew across the battlefield.

As the cavalry of the Qing army approached the formation of the recovery army, casualties continued.

A round of artillery shells pierced through the cavalry array of the Qing army and killed a Qing army.

The corpses of war horses and people are lying everywhere!
After paying a certain price, the cavalry of the Qing army finally rushed to the front of the recovery army.

This time, the cavalry led by Shang Zhixin were all light cavalry. After they rushed to the front of the recovery army, they did not rush to the formation, but used cavalry and shooting to kill the enemy.

The cavalry rode their horses in front of the recovery army, passing by like a gust of wind.

collapse!Bumble!

The sound of the bowstring exploding sounded one after another.

Arrows shot towards the formation of the Restoration Army!

Dangdang!
The sound of arrows hitting the armor kept ringing, but many recovery soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

However, almost at the same time that the Qing army released a round of cavalry shooting, the musketeers of the recovery army all pulled the trigger.

Snapped!clap clap!

The crisp gunshots exploded like fried beans, and the lead bullets fired by the musket formed a barrage.

In just an instant, the cavalry of the Qing army who were closest to the formation of the Restoration Army were shot off their horses.

Dang even swallowed his breath!

In the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, those Qing troops who fell from their horses were trampled into flesh by the rest of the Qing cavalry.

The cavalry of the Qing army rode away on horseback, made a big circle around the battlefield, and came back again.

Bending the bow and nodding the arrow, I want to have another round of riding and shooting!
The Liberation Army fought back mercilessly!

The muskets and strong bows fired at each other, and people on both sides kept falling to the ground.

Life for life without the slightest moisture!
In the end, the cavalry of the Qing army suffered heavy losses from the firearms and artillery of the Restoration Army and were defeated.

The remaining hundreds of cavalrymen of the Qing army withdrew in embarrassment, leaving corpses all over the ground, and retreated to the formation of the Qing army in desperation!
But the Restoration Army didn't feel good either!
In addition to the casualties caused by the cavalry and shooting of the Qing army, there were also casualties caused by the artillery of the Qing army to the formation of the Restoration Army.

However, although there were a lot of losses, the formation of the Liberation Army did not waver.

Continue to advance methodically towards the Qing army!

The crimson armor is like fire, and the moving formation of the Liberation Army is like a moving sea of ​​flames.

As if to devour everything!
The artillery of both sides fought fiercely!

The artillery of the Liberation Army began to use flower bombs!

There are constant explosions on the battlefield!
Explosive bombs fell on the Qing army formation one after another. After the explosion, the smoke and fire seemed to destroy everything.

Fragments swept through!

Tear the human body to shreds!
After the cavalry of the Qing army retreated, the artillery of the Restoration Army began to aim at the infantry array of the Qing army and fired.

At this time, the Qing army realized how strong the firepower of the Liberation Army was!
Amidst the rumble of shelling, the field artillery of the Liberation Army continued to fire.

The Liberation Army is not only superior in the number of field artillery!
In terms of artillery performance, whether it is rate of fire, range, or accuracy, the Liberation Army has an overall advantage.

The artillery currently used by the Qing army is not a special field artillery, but a red cannon whose prototype is an imitation of Western naval guns.

Its performance is not bad if it is used for siege, but it is too bulky for field battle!
And because the red cannon has a larger barrel multiple, the loading and firing speed is much slower than that of the Liberation Army's field artillery.

In addition, there is no corresponding auxiliary aiming device such as the quasi-signal gate on the gun mount of the Qing army artillery, and the device for adjusting the angle of the muzzle.

The artillery of the Qing army is not very useful!
The Guangfu Army is generally equipped with the Guangfu Type [-] and Guangfu Type [-] field artillery. The performance of the two field artillery is much better than that of the Qing Army.

In the artillery battle, the Liberation Army can be said to have the upper hand!

As the artillery battle between the two sides continued, several small phalanxes of the Qing army had been broken up by the field artillery of the Liberation Army.

A large number of Qing soldiers became stragglers and did not dare to form an array!
On the other hand, the Liberation Army relied on its efficient organization and strong physical strength.

Continuous high-frequency, small-scale change of formation, adjustment of array position.

As a result, the artillery of the Qing army needed to frequently adjust the shooting elements in order to launch effective shelling, which greatly slowed down the firing frequency of the Qing army.

Moreover, the adjustment of the formation of the recovery army was not only to avoid shelling, but also to consume the physical strength of the Qing army.

The recovery army adjusted its formation, and the Qing army also adjusted accordingly to deal with it.

And changing formations requires physical strength!

Toss a few more times, and when the two sides start fighting, how much physical strength the Qing army will have left is an unknown!
The soldiers of the Liberation Army are all delicious and delicious, and they have been trained for a long time and intensively!
Although the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army are elite!
However, the vassal soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Pingnan Palace have not fought for many years, so they have been pampered for so many years.

A wolf can also be a dog!

It is really unknown how the current Pingnan Wangfu's soldiers maintain their physical strength!

The formations of the two sides continued to change, and as time passed, the formation of the Qing army really became chaotic.

Many Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army who were accustomed to being pampered were panting heavily, sweating profusely, and their movements became more and more sluggish.

The cotton armor on his body was already soaked with sweat, and every step he took was extremely heavy.

Seeing the performance of the Qing army, Zhu Hongyu beamed with joy.

"This battle will be won!"

The generals of the Restoration Army around him nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

"What the supervisor said is even true!"

"That's true. Before the two armies of the enemy and ours officially fought, the Qing army was completely exhausted. Today's Qing army is indeed not as good as before!"

"..."
