The Qing cavalry, whose right wing attack was blocked, did not retreat, but instead used a small team to shoot the Taiping army with bows and arrows outside the formation after breaking away from the Taiping army's artillery. The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, with super high horsemanship, suddenly rushed up and shot an arrow, and then ran away from the distance, spinning and rushing at lightning speed, leaving most wolves holding spears helpless.

Yu Shizhong snorted coldly, and he saw more of the Tartars' cavalry. He waved the flag and ordered the right-wing artillery to move the artillery forward, forcing the Qing cavalry to go away again. But then the Qing cavalry that went away hung up again, surrounded the Thirteenth Town like a pack of wolves, and took advantage of the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

The Taiping Army artillery was exhausted and finally pushed the artillery forward. When the Qing army saw that the situation was not good, they ran away and took the cold air to kill again. Several times the artillery could not adjust the guns and fired. The Qing army's guerrilla-like tactics made the 13th Town Wolf Soldier who went to the battlefield for the first time a little confused.

Shang Keyuan was Shang Kexi's cousin. After surrendering to the enemy with Shang Kexi, he participated in many wars against the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he was quite familiar with the entangled tactics of the Eight Banners of Manzhou. However, he had no good way to deal with the Qing army. If he wanted to crack the attack method of the Eight Banners of Manzhou, he had to have a cavalry that could drive away the opponent. If not, he could have a musket soldier that could suppress the opponent's bows and arrows. Obviously, Shang Keyuan had no cavalry, nor an elite musket soldier. The cavalry of the Ma Jiazi King and the Auxiliary Minister was pressed. This was Yu Shizhong's killer move, and he would not use it until the critical moment. The fifth town equipped with the most firearms is now located in the central army, protecting the front of the army and cannot be easily drawn out.

The Taiping Army's armored rate is still very low now. Guangdong Military Uniform Factory can only barely supply new military uniforms in the old four towns. Most of the other towns are the military uniforms of the original Ming army, and many of them are even worn by Qing soldiers. Among the Qing army, especially the green camp soldiers, the armored rate of the Qing army was even lower. Most of the Qing army's green camps were adapted from the original Ming army, and these Ming generals have been following a bad habit for a hundred years, that is, they focus on money, grain and resources on their trusted servants, but they do not pay attention to ordinary soldiers at all, and only regard them as cannon fodder. Therefore, after these Ming army surrendered to the Qing army and reorganized into Green Camp soldiers, they were actually no different from when they were the Ming army, and when they became Taiping Army, there was no difference.

It was not that Zhou Shixiang didn't want to equip all the towns of the Taiping Army. However, Guangdong's resources were limited, and the output of Foshan Iron Factory was not enough to build so many armors, so he could only focus on the few towns that could be fought. Almost half of the newly built soldiers were adapted from Green Camp soldiers, so except for being able to eat a little bit, the equipment was no different from the Qing army. Even if Zhou Shixiang prohibited the generals of each town from building private soldiers, the situation of limited resources could not fundamentally change the low armor rate.

In order to distinguish themselves, those soldiers who even had military uniforms and hats like the Qing army either tied red cloth on their arms or wrapped red strips on their heads. The Thirteenth Town recruited Guangxi heroes, and their weapons and uniforms were basically seized by Qing army equipment, so less than a thousand soldiers in the town could wear armor. Therefore, in the face of the Qing army's guerrilla archery tactics, the wolf soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

After the artillery moved the artillery forward again, Shang Keyuan gritted his teeth and wanted to organize his troops to chase the Qing army, hoping that the Qing army would not dare to guerrilla 13th town without any scruples. However, Yu Shizhong sent a general order, and ordered Shang Ke to be far from pursuing.

Shang Keyuan had no choice but to try his best to gather his formation. The Arctic Brigade, which had a high armor rate, was located on the front line. There were few gunmen among the generals, and the archers organized them to launch a counterattack against the invading Qing army.

After half a stick of incense, the blind Li once again led the Iron Man Guard to delay a stream of Qing cavalry rushing in. As before, after paying more than a hundred casualties, the Qing army turned around and retreated again when they could not get any advantage.

The reason why Yu Shizhong was not allowed to attack was that the Qing cavalry repeatedly attacked the defense line of the Thirteenth Town again and again. If the defense line was broken, the Qing cavalry would surge in from the gap, tearing the defense line of the Thirteenth Town, causing the right wing to collapse. The right wing, as the weakest wing, was that Shizhong's battle deployment was not to kill the enemy, but to consolidate and protect the central army. Therefore, as long as Shang Keyuan stabilized the front line, even if the casualties were heavy, it was worth it. Moreover, the existence of the right wing indirectly restrained a large number of Qing cavalry, causing the strength of their cavalry to be weakened. If Shang Keyuan chose to counterattack, he would probably be counterattacked by the retreating Qing cavalry. He pursued different defenses and lost the protection of the neat defense line, and the scattered infantry could not cope with the impact of organized cavalry at all. Once the right wing was defeated by the Qing cavalry, it would directly affect the left wing and the central army, and it might even end in failure.

The Iron Man Guard was covered in iron armor, and even if the soldiers were tall and big, they would not be able to fight for a long time. Therefore, Yu Shizhong asked the blind Li to retreat to the backyard for a temporary rest.

The tenth town on the right wing was completely passive and tired of dealing with the harassment and attacks of the Qing cavalry. However, the fourth town on the left wing gradually relied on firearms to stabilize the position and killed and injured the Qing cavalry in large numbers after the initial defeat.

Yu Shizhong stood on a large cart and commanded the war with a high altitude. Roto also stood on a slope to observe the battlefield dynamics. However, Roto did not observe carefully Yu Shizhong, who was on the front line, only knew that Gushan Ezhen Arjin, who was responsible for surrounding the right wing of the Taiping Army, was repeatedly attacking the Taiping Army's front line, and did not know the specific situation of the battle. On the left wing, the person responsible for commanding the Qing army was Wang Sheng, the commander of the Han army under the Dingnan vassal state. This person was a close general of the Line Guoan. He performed well in the battle, so he was highly valued by the Line Guoan and personally recommended him to Roto as the commander of the left wing.

Wang Sheng led more than a thousand Han cavalry and the same number of Mongolian soldiers. The right-wing Aljin fought the Taiping Army in front of him and was exhausted from dealing with it. However, he faced the danger of being surrounded by Taiping Army in front of him several times. Although he repeatedly turned the risk to a disadvantage and killed many Taiping Army, Wang Sheng was unable to open up the situation. As time passed, the Han cavalry gradually thought of the Battle of Liuzhou and the Battle of Qingyuan, and his morale was a bit sluggish. The Mongolian soldiers worked hard at the beginning, but now they were all a little scared. The Mongolian soldiers were reluctant to touch the tough bones that were difficult to crack. They wanted the Han army to crack the tough bones, and the Han army was also unwilling to.

The left and right wings were unable to make a big breakthrough, and Li Benshen, the infantry central army could not find a fighter opportunity, and Zhang Yong and Shi Guoan and others dared not to rush up easily. Roto was a little impatient, so he ordered Geshiha to beat the drum, and the drums sounded three-way. The cavalry generals such as Aljin and Wang Sheng did not dare to ignore their lives and organized an attack. The infantry no longer hesitated, and Li Benshen ordered the entire army to kill the Taiping Central Army.
