The artillery was mobilized and aimed at the attacking troops of the Ming army.

Then mobilize the soldiers and horses of other departments to go out, and use infantry coordination to drive the attacking troops of the Ming army out of the main camp.

In terms of artillery tactics, the Qing army did not actually fall behind, and various tactics were relatively easy to use.

The soldiers of the two sides collided and fought fiercely with each other.

Cannonballs flew one after another, making big openings in the formations of both sides, and stumps and broken arms were flying everywhere.

The number of casualties keeps rising!

The Ming army's shelling was very powerful, but the Qing army's shelling was not bad.

It is true that the smoothbore cannon could not reach Jiaxing City, but it must be no problem to use it to attack the attacking troops of the Ming army.

With the distance close to the face, even if the gunners of the Qing army closed their eyes, they would not miss it!
With the firing of Qing army artillery, the position was exposed.

The target of the Ming army's bombardment changed rapidly!
Instead of aiming at the Qing army's camp and bombing, it changed to focusing its firepower and carrying out fire coverage and saturation strikes on the Qing army's artillery positions.

The purpose is very clear, I want to knock out the artillery of the Qing army at the beginning of the war!
One after another, the explosive shells fell into the artillery formation of the Qing army. Amid the sound of rumbling explosions, fragments swept across, sweeping everything around.

Kill a gunner of the Qing army!
These Qing army gunners were full of bullet holes and blood cuts left by fragments.

Blood DC!

The broken corpse just fell on the battlefield, and the hot blood gradually cooled.

Even the body of the cannon was scratched with white marks by the fragments!

Rumble!
The deafening explosion almost never stopped.

That was the gunpowder on the artillery positions of the Qing army, which was ignited and exploded by the flames formed by the explosion of the flowering bombs of the Ming army.

It took less than half an hour for the artillery positions of the Qing army to go from roaring to completely silent.

In just half an hour, more than half of the more than [-] artillery pieces of the Qing army were destroyed by concentrated fire.

In order to prevent the location of the remaining artillery from being exposed, they all wisely chose to die down.

Looking at the scene on the battlefield, Tu Hai clenched his fists tightly.

The nails dug deeply into the tender flesh of the palm, and blood slowly seeped from the wound.

"Damn it, Ming Thief's firearms are really sharp!"

"..."

In this short artillery battle, the firepower of the Ming army was fully revealed, and the Qing army was suppressed and beaten throughout the whole process.

It is impossible to say that Tu Hai is not discouraged!

At this moment, the messenger brought bad news to Tu Hai again.

"My lord, the bandits once again broke through a camp of our army. The soldiers on the front line are a little bit overwhelmed. Please send reinforcements."

On the battlefield, the situation continues to evolve.

After the Qing army's artillery misfired, the Ming army's heavy artillery turned its target again and continued to provide fire cover for the infantry.

Open the attack channel for the attacking troops!

The battle drums continued, and the Guiyi Army, under the cover of the Ming Army's heavy artillery brigade, successfully broke through a line of defense of the Qing Army.

Once again broke through a camp of the Qing army!
However, the strength advantage of the Qing army was too obvious, and reinforcements continued to arrive, fighting fiercely with the Ming army.

As a result, the battle situation became stalemate, and the Ming army was unable to make a major breakthrough for a long time.

The tactics of the Ming army were very simple. The infantry rushed after the artillery bombarded, and the infantry rushed after the artillery bombarded until they broke through the Qing army's defense line.

The tactics of the Qing army are equally simple, that is, crowd tactics.

Use human life to consume the gunpowder, shells and vigor of the Ming army.

Wait until the vigor of the attacking troops of the Ming army is exhausted, and then send out the elite of the Eight Banners to fight back.

The two sides are constantly fighting fiercely!

With the passage of time, the attacking troops of the Ming army finally showed signs of fatigue.

The intensity of the attack has obviously slowed down a lot!

Seeing this, Tu Hai knew that the opportunity had come, and ordered the Eight Banners to put on armor and launch a counterattack!

Not long after, the Eight Banners cavalry in heavy armor appeared on the battlefield. They rode their horses and rushed to the flank of the Ming army.

Then, he dismounted and fought on foot, intending to cut off the incoming Ming army at the waist.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Eight Banners soldiers in heavy armor showed what they should have.

The armored soldiers on both sides fought fiercely together, constantly slashing, swinging swords, stabbing with long spears, and those blunt weapons specially designed to break armor played their due role.

Harvesting life neatly!

The Guiyi Army's flanks were raided. In order to prevent being cut off at the middle, they began to shrink their troops and gradually retreated.

The Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing army also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and the Eight Banners soldiers pressed on even more.

The Guiyi army gradually retreated from an orderly retreat, and turned into a chaotic escape, and some even began to flee without armor...

Fleeing seems to be in sight!
At this moment, there was a roar of horseshoes trampling the ground in the camp of the Qing army.

A large group of black cavalry whizzed around the battlefield in a big circle, charging towards the rear of the Ming army!
Tuhai's intention is very clear, he wants to eat the Ming army who came to attack the Qing army's camp.

……

Standing at the head of Jiaxing City, Zhu Hongyu watched the scene of the Guiyi Army's defeat on the battlefield, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"It seems that the quality of Guiyi Army is limited after all!"

Although there was no dissatisfaction in his tone, the obvious anger could still be heard.

To be honest, the Guiyi Army reorganized from the Jingnan Army, after making up the food and wages, the combat effectiveness shown on the battlefield is not bad.

However, due to the limited training, the performance of the Jingnan Army is only not bad.

It must be inferior to the Liberation Army!

At the very least, if the Restoration Army is placed in the position of the Guiyi Army at this time, even if the Restoration Army wants to retreat, it will not be so embarrassed.

At the very least, during the retreat, the Liberation Army was able to cover alternately and retreat in an orderly manner.

It will not give the Qing army an opportunity to launch a counterattack!

"Your Highness, the Guiyi army is retreating and the Qing army is pursuing them. The battle is urgent. It's time for our army to send reinforcements!"

Li Guangyuan suggested in Zhu Hongyu's ear.

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Pass the order, Zhang Meng leads the cavalry to attack and meet our defeated troops!"

"Li Guangyuan!"

After giving orders to Zhang Meng, Zhu Hongyu greeted Li Guangyuan.

Li Guangyuan straightened his back and spoke.

"The end is here!"

Zhu Hongyu withdrew his gaze from the battlefield, fixed his eyes on Li Guangyuan, and spoke.

"You lead the Fifth Infantry Division to the top of the solitary, and continue to fight in place of the retreating Guiyi Army!"

"The troops can be rotated, but the offensive cannot be stopped!"

"clear?"

Li Guangyuan gave a military salute and said in a sonorous tone.

"The last general takes orders, and promises to complete the task!"

……

Facing the counterattack of the Qing army, the Ming army responded quickly.

First, the artillery changed its target, from suppressing the Qing infantry to bombarding the Qing cavalry.

Then, with the roar of horseshoes, the cavalry of the Ming army also entered the battlefield!

As soon as the cavalry of the Qing army entered the battlefield, they were given special care by the heavy artillery of the Ming army.

Cannonballs exploded in the cavalry formation of the Qing army, and the fragments flew, sweeping everything around.

Blow up the cavalry array of the Qing army to pieces!
