The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

A tall and burly soldier of the Iron Man Army brandished a long-handled plain knife, the light of the knife flashed, and a green battalion soldier from the Qing army was split in two from his shoulder.

Blood and viscera gushed out!
The Liberation Army in the center and on the left also launched a bayonet charge almost at the same time.

Amidst the loud shouts of killing, the Qing army was constantly pushed back.

Shang Kexi waved his hand and said.

"Order the cavalry to attack and stop the attack of the Ming army!"

The infantry is not an opponent, Shang Kexi's solution is to use the superior cavalry to make up for it.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army moved, Zhang Meng also swung his whip violently, and the whip made a crisp sound on the horse's buttocks.

The cavalry of the Ming army roared to meet the cavalry of the Qing army, and the cavalry of the Zheng army quickly followed.

The cavalry of both sides collided head-on on the battlefield!
During the battle between the horses, bones and tendons were broken, and countless people fell off their horses and were trampled into meat by the horses.

Snapped!clap clap!

Bumble!collapse!

The sound of gunfire and the rattle of bowstrings sounded one after another.

The cavalry on both sides ended the hedge, but began to mount and shoot.

The Ming army was clearly at a disadvantage, but their will to fight remained undiminished, and they barely maintained the battle with their lives in exchange for lives.

Taking this opportunity, the infantry of the Ming army who took away Shang Kexi for the first time rushed forward violently, killing the Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing army and retreating again and again!

Even Shang Kexi ordered the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army to go to the front, but he also failed to take advantage of it.

Speaking of close combat, the heavy steps of the Ming army are comparable to the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army!

The two sides strangled fiercely, until the sun rose to the middle of the sky, and the fighting stopped for a while.

The cavalry on both sides retreated separately!
The infantry also disengaged, each cleaned the battlefield, collected the corpses, and withdrew to their own camp.

Due to the timely support of the Qing army, the Ming army failed to form a breakthrough situation in this battle!
Although the infantry gained an advantage in the battle, the cavalry was being beaten by the Qing army!
It's not too good, and it's not too bad!

In any case, the Ming army suffered a disadvantage in terms of strength in this battle.

The Qing army had [-] soldiers, but the Ming army only had a strength of just over [-].

Originally, the total strength of the Ming army in this battle was around 5000.

However, there were casualties during the attack on Guangzhou, and some soldiers and horses needed to stay in important towns along the route to protect their own grain roads and to keep an eye on some soldiers and horses of the Qing army in Xinhui City.

In this battle, the strength of the Ming army that can be used on the battlefield is actually just over [-]!

The comparison of the strength of the two sides has reached the level of one to two, although the quality of the soldiers of the Ming army is relatively elite, well-trained, and superior in military equipment.

But the Qing army has cavalry and numerical advantages!
This battle is easy to fight!

……

Shang Kexi's face twitched when he heard the number of casualties reported below, and then he spoke.

"We can't fight Ming Junlang anymore. We can't continue fighting like this. Prepare to build fortifications and stand by for help!"

"This king will ask the imperial court for help!"

Since they were fighting on the frontal battlefield, they were obviously not the opponents of the Ming army, so Shang Kexi was ready to take a defensive position.

Large-scale retreat is impossible!

If they dare to retreat here, the Ming army will dare to pursue them!
If the army collapses during the retreat, Guangdong will be completely over.

Shang Kexi didn't intend to take this risk, and decided to stand by and wait for help.

He has a steady stream of food and grass support from the state government in the rear, and he has the capital to delay the war with the entire Qing court as his back.

……

Zhu Hongyu received a report from the sentry that the Qing army was building fortifications in the camp, and it seemed that they were preparing to stick to it.

His eyes narrowed instantly, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart!

It is still gratifying to have the capital to stick to it and wait for help, but the Ming army can't do it!
In the event of a delay in the battle, the Qing government mobilized reinforcements from all over the country to reinforce Guangdong.

At that time, the Ming army may have to withdraw from the mainland in despair and continue to wait for the opportunity to fight.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Hongyu!

After pondering for a while, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"If the Qing army wants to stick to it, knock off their tortoise shells!"

"Command the army to bury the pot and cook immediately, and prepare to launch an attack!"

"After lunch, some of the soldiers who fought against the Qing army this morning will be repaired, and the rest of the troops will be replaced to fight in the front round!"

"From now on, the army will attack the Qing army camp with all its strength!"

"Day and night!"

The Ming army began to bury the pot to make rice, and wisps of cooking smoke rose, followed by a strong smell of rice and meat.

The logistics department relies on water transportation to send boatloads of rice and meat into the army!

Everyone in the Ming army can let go of eating and drinking!
In the past, meat was eaten only once every three to five days, but in order to boost morale during the war, it was three meals a day, with meat every meal.

Although the whole army can't let go of eating meat!
But a small piece of oily pork belly the size of a matchbox per person per meal is still acceptable.

Even the troops who have made great achievements in battle are allowed to drink a little wine!

……

Qing army camp!

A large group of civilian husbands sent by the prefectures and counties in the rear to escort food and grass were forced to stay in the camp by Shang Kexi.

Under the supervision of the green battalion soldiers, they vigorously waved their hoes and dug trenches.

After a short pause, the whips of the Green Battalion soldiers in charge of the supervision came over.

Enduring the hunger in his belly, he worked hard.

The expression on Gao Qi's face was almost filled with exhaustion.

Smelling the smell of rice and meat wafting down the wind from the direction of the Ming army's camp in the air, Gao Qi's stomach protested more and more.

Bursts of sour water kept coming up!

The movements of his hands did not dare to stop, but the thoughts in Gao Qi's heart were quite complicated and chaotic.

The more hungry I am, the more I can't help but want to think about it for a while and distract myself.

Smelling the smell of meat in the air, Gao Qi couldn't help complaining to the person beside him.

"The Daming army on the opposite side is so kind to Qiu Ba below, he can even eat meat!"

"I can't even remember the last time I ate meat. I only know that the last time I ate meat was the last time."

Wu Gao, a fellow villager who is short and thin but good at work, said in a low voice with envy on his face.

"No wonder the Ming army attacked so fiercely today. If I can have a bite of meat, even if I die on the battlefield that day, I would be willing."

Another fellow countryman named He Tie on the side spoke.

"Put it down, I saw it just now, the Ming army on the opposite side all wear buns on their heads."

"If the Ming army wants to recruit soldiers, they must also want loyal and good people with long hair, and we can be regarded as traitors who have shaved their money rat tails."

"How can the Ming army still want us?"

Gao Qi couldn't help but refute.

"How many people in Guangdong have died for Daming these years? I'm afraid no one can count them?!"

"Who dares to say that we Cantonese are not Daming Zhongliang?"

"..."

A few commoners chatted in low voices, and in their words, they did not regard the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the orthodox world at all.

Not only in Guangdong, but in the minds of people all over the world in this era, the rat tail of money has not yet become a matter of course.

Being forced to wear a money rat tail is considered a shame by everyone.
