The drums and trumpets of the Ming army were extremely passionate, and the sound of shouting and killing continued.

"Kill the prisoner!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Kill!"

"Ming Wansheng, serve the supervisory country!"

"..."

For a while, facing the attack of the Ming army, the cavalry of the Qing army were forced back by the infantry!

Ride with a buck!

The Ming army is actually riding with a foot!
Shang Kexi's expression was ugly, but he still waved his hand and ordered.

"Order the cavalry, withdraw!"

Although at present, the cavalry of the Qing army did not fall too far, but the Eight Banners soldiers are now at the forefront.

Shang Kexi was reluctant to take the Eight Banners soldiers to exchange their lives with the Ming army!

You know, now that Guangzhou is lost, the only blood and blood of his Pingnan Palace is left with this Eight Banners soldier in his hand.

It is gratifying and unacceptable to use the only remaining flesh and blood of the bannermen of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion to exchange lives with the infantry of the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Qing army received the order and retreated quickly.

The Ming army was powerless to pursue, so they stopped, began to organize their formation, and then continued to retreat.

Zhu Hongyu met Li Guangyuan in the camp, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Good job!"

"This time the two sides have a tentative confrontation, and the Imperial Guard Brigade has shown my prestige as Daming!"

Whether it's marching in a neat formation like a wall, or being as still as a mountain when facing shelling, or charging with bayonets like a rainbow, and ordering and prohibiting when facing chasing soldiers, or even being fearless when facing cavalry charging. ...

They all showed the quality of the Ming army!
But this is normal, after all, Zhu Hongyu's Imperial Guard Brigade is the most elite unit in the Ming army, who are in charge of the striker in this battle.

The muskets and artillery used are all epoch-making rifled guns.

It can only be said that it should be able to play such a hearty victory.

It would be surprising if they couldn't achieve such a victory.

On the battlefield at this time, although the infantry of both sides had withdrawn, the fighting was still going on.

What is confronting now is the artillery power of both sides!

Boom!Boom!
The sound of shelling resounded like thunder, and the combined number of cannons on both sides had already broken through a thousand.

The bombardment of thousands of large and small artillery can be regarded as the largest artillery battle in the world so far!
The thunderous cannons could be faintly heard even in Xinhui City in the distance.

Under the blind command of Shang Kexi, the outer sect, the artillery of the Qing army used a large number of pack horses to pull the artillery to the front line, where they could reach the artillery formation of the Ming army.

It's just that after the Qing army's artillery is in place.

What greeted them was not a hearty victory, but an overwhelming bombardment.

Originally, the Qing army's artillery was placed far away, and those who could reach the Qing army's artillery, the Ming army only had those rifled guns.

Because the smoothbore guns of the two sides are not much different in terms of range!

However, under Shang Kexi's blind command, the Qing army's artillery moved forward, while they were able to reach the Ming army's artillery formation.

It also successfully entered the range of the more smoothbore guns of the Ming army!
In just an instant, the artillery of the Qing army was beaten even worse!
Amidst the roaring shelling, the artillery of the Qing army was almost overwhelmed by the shelling of the Ming army.

Countless explosive shells came crashing down, and amidst the rumbling explosions, the gunners of the Qing army and the pack horses pulling the carts were all thrown into the sky by the shock wave.

Shang Kexi looked at his own artillery and cannons submerged in flames and gunpowder smoke, his face twitched unconsciously.

……

After knocking out the artillery of the Qing army, the shelling of the Ming army also stopped.

The artillery of this era is like this. After firing for a period of time, it needs to stop to cool down the barrel.

Avoid excessive use, which will reduce the life of the artillery, or simply blow up the chamber!
After the artillery cooled down, the infantry of the Ming army took the initiative to attack again.

This time, Zhu Hongyu not only mobilized the Imperial Guard Brigade, but also mobilized other troops to attack the Qing army in front of them.

This time, Zhu Hongyu invested nearly [-] troops in the attack.

The Guards Brigade played the main force and was responsible for the frontal attack.

Zheng Chenggong also sent his personal guard battalion and Iron Man Army to take charge of the right-wing war.

The Second Infantry Brigade of the Restoration Army is responsible for the left-wing warfare.

The third line launched an attack on the Qing army!

Behind these three army formations are the cavalry brigade of the Guangfu Army and the cavalry of the Zheng Army, responsible for holding down the formation for the army.

After knocking out the artillery of the Qing army, the field artillery of the Ming army also began to move forward with the army in an attempt to obtain a wider shooting range.

Facing the Ming army's attack again, Shang Kexi mobilized troops to deal with it.

The green camps in Guangxi and Hunan were transferred by him according to different establishments, and they went out to fight against the Ming army.

In order to prevent the Green Battalion from collapsing without a fight, he even prepared to let the Eight Banners of the Qing Army overthrow the formation!
Fierce battles broke out again on the front lines of the two sides, and the Ming army's central army attacked rapidly.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers strode forward, raising their guns and firing continuously, advancing like a wall.

Although the Ming army on the left did not use rifled guns, their platoon guns were equally neat.

Facing the rain of arrows from the Qing army's retaliation, he was also able to deal with it without any confusion.

Zheng Jun's combat effectiveness on the right wing is also not bad!

Zheng Chenggong suppressed the most capable personal guard battalion and iron man army at hand!

You know, Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army once fought thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners during the Northern Expedition to Nanjing.

Dealing with some green battalion soldiers is naturally not a problem!
Faced with the Ming army's attack from three sides, the Qing army fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Shang Ke couldn't help frowning.

"These thieves should be the elite of Ming thieves, and their combat power is so good!"

This kind of battle that was crushed by the strength of the Ming army and fought on the battlefield is gratifying, but I have never experienced it.

Now that it's the first time for the eldest girl to get on the bridal sedan chair, she has mixed feelings!

Shang Yong, who was from the family of the Shang family, said.

"What the master said is right. These must be the elite of the Ming thieves. The slave has seen the banner of the Zheng thieves' iron army!"

Shang Kexi frowned and said.

"Will the bright thief on the opposite side know how to fight? Why did you overwhelm the elite at the beginning?"

"Aren't you afraid of losing?"

According to the combat habits of the generals of this era, once a battle starts, the ones at the forefront must be cannon fodder in the army.

It is impossible to be an elite!
It must wait until the cannon fodder of both sides fight for a while, and the winner will be decided, and then the elites of both sides will enter the field and establish the victory in one fell swoop.

Shang Kexi was very uncomfortable with the Ming army's style of attacking the elite from the very beginning.

The end result is that, whether it is the frontal battlefield or the left and right wings of both sides, the Qing army is retreating steadily.

Zheng Jun's Iron Man Army is quite eye-catching!

Armored like a forest, advancing neatly, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army were hardly a single enemy.

Facing the armored Iron Man army, the Qing army's counterattacks were rarely able to cause damage, but the iron man army's attacks were all life-threatening.
