Although Zhu Shuren was more than [-]% sure of today's battle, he still felt a lot of pressure when facing Duoduo's all-in all-in.

The main force of the infantry of the Han army banner led by Zhang Cunren rushed upwards with a big shield and messy armor without fear of death. At a distance of 150 steps, they were fired by the new Ming army's musketeers for the first round.
Afterwards, almost every thirty or forty steps would receive another round of blows, but Zhang Cunren's elite soldiers did not shrink back because of fear, and the fall of Pao Ze and being trampled into the mud did not seem to have a great impact on them.

Zhu Shuren had never seen this kind of situation after five or six years of fighting. Whether it was the troops around Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong's direct descendants, the will to fight seemed to be half as good as these Qing troops. Ting can win the world, naturally there is something to rely on.

After paying the price of more than [-] people being directly killed, and many more injured and fell to the ground screaming and wailing, the Qing army rushed to the distance between the two armies on some local fronts.

Of course, it is mainly those positions where the Ming army has not yet been equipped with new "made in Wuchang" rifles.The firepower density of those local fronts using bird guns and Lumi guns is not enough after all, and it is impossible to completely kill the enemy directly in the queuing and shooting stage.

In the final analysis, Zhu Shuren's armament production capacity still hasn't kept up. It takes time to farm and develop technology.

If the "Made in Wuchang" in Zhu Shuren's hand is not more than 3000 but more than 3, then the situation will definitely have another earth-shaking change, and most of Zhang Cunren's troops may have to be on the way to charge.

According to Zhu Shuren's farming plan, expanding the pace of reproduction, and giving him another two or three years, he will definitely have [-] to [-] new rifles!
However, the main force of the Qing army's infantry was still able to bite the bullet and charge forward when the direct casualties exceeded one-tenth of the total number of people. The fighting will is also extraordinary.

After the infantry suffered heavy casualties and succeeded in meeting the enemy, Wanyan Yechen's two Banner Man cavalry almost followed up, taking advantage of the opportunity of the friendly troops to hold the front, ready to turn around and attack.

Of course, the Ming army would not let him succeed. The main cavalry force of the Ming army under the command of Cao Bianjiao also launched an interception with Zhu Shuren's acquiescence.

Neither side had much room to maneuver, so they launched the cavalry to fight against each other.

The heavy armor of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry once made it difficult for the Ming cavalry to use their swords and guns in close combat. Both sides were heavily armored, so they could only knock each other off their horses with great force.

But among the cavalry of the Ming army, the elite of the two thousand elite equipped with revolvers and double-barreled nozzles loaded in the breech, killed all directions on this occasion.

Originally, what the cavalry of the Ming army were most afraid of was the cavalry of the Qing army, who used their riding skills and speed advantages to pull.However, the narrow and muddy battlefield and the cramped pressure of the two rivers forced the situation into a positional battle, and the Ming army's close-to-face and invincible output at close range was fully utilized.

Countless elite iron cavalry of the Eight Banners were shot by the 2000 vanguards of the Ming army at a very close range of more than ten steps, shooting left and right with pistols, hitting their faces with flowers and falling off their horses to death.

In particular, the cavalry of the Qing army could not do double heavy armor. The iron armor consumed too much in the previous siege battles, and even officers could only wear one piece.

On the other hand, the Ming army also adjusted the distribution of weapons and ammunition for today's battle.When fighting bandits, the Ming army even used shotguns for their revolvers, but now they have replaced them with slugs, in order to penetrate iron armor with a relatively low chamber pressure.

The price is that the firepower density of the revolver gunner will be greatly reduced. After all, each gun can shoot seven or eight small lead beads and small iron slag, but now there is only one shot.

Immediately bumping and shooting casually, even if there are more than ten or twenty steps, the accuracy is not guaranteed. Maybe one or two people will be hit when the magazine is empty. , Many cowboys have to stick within three or five steps to achieve every shot.

However, the soldiers of the Ming army are also adaptable. Although the original training principle of combat operations is to fire within [-] paces, today they temporarily use single-headed bullets in actual combat. Many warriors find that the accuracy of [-] paces is too poor. Young mastered the enemy's cavalry gun and rushed to five steps calmly before firing.

At that distance, if you hesitate for another breath, you will be pierced by the enemy's cavalry spear. After all, there are still rumors in later generations that "a knife is faster than a spear within seven steps", let alone a hedge on horseback, five steps is enough In an instant.

During the fight, some Ming army cavalry gunners were really slow to shoot for a second because of the hit rate of the map, or the movement of the hammer to reset was out of shape due to the bumpy movement, and the shooting was wrong, and the result was directly stabbed by the Qing army cavalry. Get off your horse.

But the rewards of doing so are also obvious. As long as there are no mistakes, the guns are fired within five steps, and after firing six bullets, most of them can kill or injure three or four enemies.

……

As the two sides entered into full-scale meat grinding, the casualties on the Ming army's side naturally continued to rise. All the generals directly commanding the front line looked as determined as iron, and were not moved by the loss.

Zhu Shuren was also calm and composed, watching everything progress naturally with cold eyes.

Only some of the civilian staff who accompanied the army, faced with such a tragic situation, it was difficult for a while to adapt.

Beside Zhu Shuren, Gu Yanwu, the aide, was very anxious, repeatedly urging Zhu Shuren to quickly find a way to attack the morale of the Qing army, and further increase the psychological attack strategy that was planned before the war——

With Gu Yanwu's status, he didn't need to go to the battlefield to watch the battle. Zhu Shuren asked him to come today, mainly because he left the work of shouting to Gu Yanwu to prepare before the battle, so let him come in person, or according to the situation. added.

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Shuren had thought it through from the very beginning. In the decisive battle, he would use an offensive strategy and use the news of Yangzhou's fall and Liu Liangzuo's death to severely hit the morale of the Qing army and make them confused and shaken.

But things don't always go as planned.Today, Doduo charged in full force as soon as he came up, and he didn't give you too much time to shout and beep.Zhu Shuren asked people to yell at the moment, but because the situation was chaotic, they couldn't attract enough attention from the enemy troops, so the effect was not great for the time being.

Of course, Zhu Shuren didn't want to waste this hole card, so he could only adapt to the situation and temporarily postpone the rhythm of his heart-to-heart shouting.Waiting to pass the stage of stalemate and fighting, and once you find that the enemy's position has loosened and people's hearts have been shaken, then push the waves to fuel the flames.

A tartar is a tartar, and the field battles are not like the Han people who like to scold the righteousness first, and rush straight away without giving you time to talk about it.

Gu Yanwu saw that Zhu Shuren pressed the hole card, but he was very anxious. Seeing that the Chinese army started to fight with bayonets, he once again suggested that the rear army should shout in unison to shake the Qing army.

"Master Guoxing, you can't waste your life like this. You need to force the Tartars back as soon as possible. How can our elite troops waste lives in hand-to-hand combat with the Tartars? When you trained the Musketeers, you spent a lot of money."

Zhu Shu's face sank like water: "Wait a little longer, the turning point of collapse is not yet approaching, there are some strategies to attack the mind, if you talk too much, the enemy will get tired, and they will think you are a lie, you have to find an opportunity to use it according to the situation.

Don't be afraid of the loss of human life. Since the decisive battle is coming, you must be mentally prepared and have this awareness.In the past, the cost of training musketeers was high, but because of the lack of seeds, we had to explore the drills of a new unit and adapt to the usage of new weapons.

Once on the right track, the Musketeers will be well-trained in a few months, while the Qing army's fierce fighters and iron cavalry full of Eight Banners will need at least several years of rigorous training and actual combat.The Tartars are going to fight a war of attrition with us, and the Tartars are destined to die first!
There are only 10,000+ of them who are suitable for serving in the army, including the old, weak, sick and disabled, a total of 40 men.Although we Han people have experienced more than 20 years of wars and internal conflicts, there are at least tens of millions of them! 40 men and tens of millions of people consume and change their lives, can it afford it!
Hold on for a while, and soon you will see a turning point. After the baptism of this bloody battle, every new-style rifleman who survives will be able to take part in the training of the new riflemen with the old and the new! "

Zhu Shuren supervised the battle for a while with a resolute face, but his mind was running fast, thinking about what else he could do. Just when he had a little enlightenment in his mind, an opportunity of enlightenment came to his mouth side.

It turned out that Jiang Shoude and Lin Chengdong, who were at odds with Li Chengdong on the southern front, sent scouts for help and asked Zhu Shuren to allocate light horse-drawn Hongyi cannons to the Chinese army so that they could deploy urgently on the west bank of the Hengtang River and bombard Li Chengdong on the opposite bank. to force Li Chengdong back a certain distance, so as to free up the landing field for the Ming army on the southern line to cross the river and pursue.

Zhu Shuren knew soldiers, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately realized the reason.Indeed, if Li Chengdong didn't retreat far enough from the river, Jiang Shoude's Tushe would definitely be kicked back and attacked halfway if his formation was not aligned.

Use artillery to push the enemy more than a mile away from the shore. At this time, if you cross the river to pursue them, you will have enough reaction time to buffer.

Moreover, in today's battlefield, the Qing army did not invest much in the southern front. As the fighting in the Chinese army became more and more fierce, Duoduo also gradually invested all the reserve forces in the Chinese army. It can be seen that the Qing army also felt that the southern front As long as there is no fault, I don't think there is any danger.

With a flash of his mind, Zhu Shuren immediately agreed to Jiang Shoude's request and gave him a few extra instructions.Moreover, he also gave new equipment that exceeded Jiang Shoude's requirements.

At the same time, he also acted accordingly, and dragged the scolding fighters trained by Gu Yanwu before the battle, and the soldiers who spread the sad news of the Qing army's fall of Yangzhou and Liu Liangzuo's death in battle, to the south line to cooperate with Jiang Shoude's pursuit.

The brutal confrontation of the Chinese army continued like this, and the killing noise continued for less than half an hour.The Qing army gradually couldn't hold on in several places and began to retreat, and then they were harvested by the backstabbing guns of the Ming army, and the casualties became heavier.

On the southern battlefield, as the fast-moving horse-drawn artillery carts were deployed to the first-line muddy area along the Hengtang River, and they simply deployed and started shelling, Li Chengdong's troops on the opposite side also began to panic.

Originally, they thought it was enough to retreat a hundred steps away from the river bank to prevent the enemy from chasing and landing, and they should not be killed by the enemy's long-range firepower.

After all, no one in this era has experienced heavy bombardment in field mobile warfare.How can a heavy artillery that can hit more than one mile be able to deploy mobile in field battles, and can also be deployed forward to approach and shoot close to the advancement of the battle line.

For the first time in human history, Zhu Shuren used the cavalry artillery tactics of forward follow-up deployment, a full 120 years earlier than Frederick the Great of Prussia. This suddenness is naturally enough.

Although the Hongyi cannons that were similar to the 6-pound cavalry guns were pulled over, and a few experimental stage mobile light mortars that used flowering bullets (similar to mortars, Zhang Huangyan defended Nanyang City to fight against Azig before) At that time, I had already used several heavy-duty flower mortars, this time it was a lightweight mobile version.)
These cannons did not directly kill many people in Li Chengdong's department, but with the rumble of the cannons, they were unilaterally massacred by this kind of tactics that had never been seen before, and plowed bloody trenches in the crowd. These newly surrendered traitor troops quickly retreated in chaos.

Jiang Shoude saw the opportunity, and immediately launched a wading pursuit, allowing the Ming army's long spear formation on the southern line to ford the shallow water to cross the Hengtang River first.

The hand-to-hand infantry led by Lin Chengcheng quickly gained a firm foothold. At one point, Li Chengdong wanted to struggle and charge back, shouting at his subordinates:

"Rush forward! Take advantage of the Ming army's uneven formation and attack halfway! We will definitely win! Jiang Shoude didn't let his musketeers go ashore first, but let the long spears take the lead! The musketeers of the Southern Barbarians were defeated by their own The long spear team blocked the shooting range, take this opportunity to charge so that you won't be shot by the muskets!"

There were quite a few courageous infantrymen of the newly surrendered traitor army. They felt that what the general said made sense, so they gave it a last try.

Muskets are not as good as bows and crossbows, and the projectiles are too light compared to arrows. The damage is mainly provided by the flying speed. As long as the speed drops, the musket bullets will have no lethality.And even if the arrow is slowed down by air resistance, at least one arrow itself has more than one or two weights, and it can still maintain a considerable part of its kinetic energy by its own weight.

Junior high school students of later generations know that kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass, and proportional to the square of velocity.Arrows mainly rely on mass to provide kinetic energy, while bullets mainly rely on velocity to provide kinetic energy.

However, the common sense of these traitors harmed them again.

This time, Zhu Shuren brought a light flowering mortar, which is to make up for the lack of curved firepower.It is not used much in normal times, but today it happened that the Ming army on the southern line was going to cross the Hengtang River, so they first used melee soldiers to gain a firm foothold.When they waited for the Musketeers to cross the river, those light mortars could well block and delay the enemy's recoil.

Although the number is not large and the firepower is not large, the key is to provide a qualitative change between having and not having.When a group of enemies thought they would not be able to shoot, but they were actually bombarded, this contrast will definitely cause a huge shake in people's hearts.

"Damn it, whoever said that the officers and soldiers use spearmen to forge first, so they can't use firearms to bombard us, I quit!"

Just a few bombs falling on the crowd in the Phalanx actually killed dozens of people, but it caused a lot of commotion.

And at this moment, the Ming army repeated the old trick again, and began to shout, "The Tartars have lost all fronts! Jiangbei and Yangzhou are all lost, and Liu Liangzuo has been killed! Li Chengdong has long known that his partner is dead!"

These lines are not exactly the same as those taught by Gu Yanwu before the war.Because just now, Gu Yanwu also followed Zhu Shuren's improvisation, and improvised again, and brought some more private goods for the scolding players to shout.

His general guiding idea is nothing more than to imitate the Battle of Feishui. The army of the former Qin Fujian retreated a little later by the Feishui to give way to the Jin army for a decisive battle across the river. The army directly thought that the former army was defeated and messed up, unable to hold back.

At this moment, Li Chengdong's southern wing of the Qing army was the weakest, and the reserve team was also transferred to the Chinese army's meat grinder.Many of these troops were still the Ming army more than a month or a few months ago, and they were all Tartars who surrendered during the fall of the north, and their will was very unstable.

Shocked by the Ming army's brave action of crossing the river on the battlefield, coupled with the Ming army's cavalry artillery firepower preparations, flowering bullets and light mortars Xu Jin barrage to block the counter-charge, a series of combined punches, not completely fooled.

As a result, the scene was really like the former Qin army retreating in the Battle of Feishui. Li Chengdong's troops soon collapsed across the board and fell apart.

When Duoduo realized that the southern line had completely collapsed, it was too late to plug the leak.

He couldn't figure out how the traitorous newly surrendered army under his command, no matter how poor they were, would be forcibly defeated by the Ming army across the Hengtang River and on the battlefield.

At this point, the existence of the Hengtang River can be regarded as a complete trap for Duoduo.

If there wasn't this river, he wouldn't have pulled out the strategic reserve team on the south side so thoroughly, so he wouldn't have to worry about problems on the south side.

However, the existence of the Hengtang River made Duoduo indifferent to the hidden danger of opening the southern line, because the Chinese army was tight, and he had already put the last bit of spare energy on it.

Now Li Chengdong has directly become a defeated army, and more than 1 newly surrendered traitor troops rushed forward. Not only did they completely open their doors, but they also disrupted the Han army flag on the southern edge of the Chinese army.

Jiang Shoude and Lin Chengcheng quickly seized the opportunity, and while driving away Li Chengdong's rout of a group of free vanguards who helped the Ming army fight against the chaos, they continued to shout loudly about the blows taught by Gu Yanwu to the scolders. The words of the enemy's military spirit.

After adding oil and vinegar, it seems that not only Liu Liangzuo's death in battle and the fall of Yangzhou City have become an undeniable fact, but also further evolved into various variants.

It made the Qing army mistakenly think that the rest of Yangzhou was also recovered by the Ming army, and even Li Chengdong agreed to be a traitor to the Ming army in advance in order to save his life, which caused him to pull his hips so much today.

You must know that the Yangzhou Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty included Taizhou and Nantong in the later generations. Zhu Shuren had only recovered Yangzhou City at a fixed point before, as well as individual counties in Taizhou in later generations, the remaining areas of Taizhou and Nantong in later generations, which are actually still in the hands of the Qing army.

Previously, Duduo called on the troops to break through Jiangyin and enter Wuxi, a rich place in Suzhou. There was also a subtext, that is, once they entered Suzhou, they would be able to raise ships to cross the Yangtze River north from Luyuan Port (Zhangjiagang), Liujiagang and other places. return.

But now if they are told that the Jiangbei area on the other side of Suzhou has also been recovered by the Ming army, the morale of the Qing army will definitely be severely hit, which means that their theoretical possibility of going to Jiangbei will also be blocked.

A series of heart-wrenching news made the Qing army extremely chaotic.The suspicion of Li Chengdong caused more chaos than the loss of Yangzhou.

After all, the total width of the battlefield today is close to [-] to [-] miles, and the battlefield of the Chinese army is seven or eight miles away from the southern line.The Chinese army and the Qing army did not know the details of the Ming army's use of cavalry artillery and light flowering mortar artillery to break through the enemy's beach on the southern line, and they could not hear the sound of the artillery from so far away.

In their view, all these unreasonable and sudden fiascos obviously come down to "Li Chengdong colluded with the enemy before the war."

Ever since, in the minds of Duoduo, Wanyan Yechen, Zhang Cunren and others, Li Chengdong was temporarily painted with a personality portrait similar to that of Zhu Xu, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who disturbed the morale of the Qin army behind the former Qin army during the Battle of Feishui. .

This kid has already cast his name again!He also used the betrayal of my Qing Dynasty as a petition in exchange for the Nanman court to forgive his original traitorous behavior!
Such a thought was like a poisonous thorn, and at the last moment, it completely crushed the morale of the Qing army.

If the friendly troops on the southern flank, which accounted for one-third of the total force, were suddenly told that they were actually the enemy's internal agents, what a fart this battle would be!Li Chengdong must have known the bad news before the war, so he took such a risk!

This kind of brain supplement was the most fatal blow to the Qing army.

Whether Zhang Cunren's troops in the Chinese army were fighting hand-to-hand, or Wanyan Yechen's two Banner Manchu iron cavalry, they collapsed one after another, and finally spread to the northernmost part of the battlefield. The main force of the army was destroyed, like a landslide and a tsunami, and it collapsed wildly.

At this point, the main force of the Ming army's infantry could only chase and kill them for a while because they were running slowly, and they were pulled away by the rout of the Qing army who had thrown away their helmets and armor.

However, Cao Bianjiao's [-] cavalry of the Ming army were like ducks in water, and the iron cavalry chased and killed the deserted enemy soldiers who had thrown away their helmets and armor.The cavalry of the Ming army have fought against the Tartars for so many years, but they have never caught this kind of backstabbing and killing.

[-] iron cavalry cut vertically and horizontally, causing a bloody storm, and the Tartars who fell directly under the butcher knife of the Ming army were more than [-] people?

The bloody chase continued until the evening of that day, and more than 2 of Duduo's [-] main force were directly killed!It's scary.

The rest were either trampled and maimed, wailing in the mud, being chased up by the Ming army infantry to make up the knife, or just kneeling and surrendering—of course, the main ones who surrendered were Li Chengdong’s newly surrendered traitor army. For the Ming army, there is no psychological burden to surrender.

However, the Manchus knew that they would not die well, and when they were chased during their escape, they would turn around and fight to save their lives, but they were often besieged and beaten by the superior Ming army and quickly killed.

"It's Dodo who wears the golden armor! Kill Dodo!" Because Dodo's goal is too big, Cao Bianjiao of course knew that he wanted to chase the big fish, so the thousands of the most elite Ming army cavalry in his army, including the more than 1000 horses short The elite of the muskets were all hunted down by the Manchu cavalry holding Duduo's banner.

The most elite members of the Zhengbai Banner have been protecting Duo Duo himself from the siege. These troops can be regarded as the elite of the elite of the Qing army. They are the core family property of the two brothers Dorgon and Duo Duo. The direct line of the Duo brothers is a body-wrapped servant.

Even at this point, the Qing army was completely defeated, and these coated slaves and guards still desperately resisted.The Ming army pursued by Cao Bianjiao has already reached several times their number, and their weapons have an absolute advantage, and Duoduo's personal guards can't resist it.

But I have to admit that Duoduo's last line of personal guards fed with money is really a powerful army in the world.

In the process of killing them all, the cavalry of the Ming army actually paid a painful price of more than 1000 people dying in battle!Many more people were injured to varying degrees!It can be regarded as annihilating the Manchu Zhengbai Banner cavalry, killing all of them without leaving a single one!
The people around Duoduo were really tough, they were all killed, no one surrendered, they all protected the prince and fought to the last moment.

Duoduo didn't do anything shameful about "throwing away the gold-encrusted prince's armor and pretending to be a soldier to escape". He was always arrogant, and Huang Taiji dared to contradict him when he was alive. How could he lose face!
In the end, Dodo was wearing his golden armor that was smashed to pieces by shotgun iron slag and lead beads, but the gold inlaid on the outside was still golden, and was beaten into a hornet's nest.

Duoduo was hit by at least dozens of revolver bullets, his blood pressure was low enough, and he fell to death among the rebellious army.
