From the main position of the Qing army on the southern line, they marched northward. Relying on the cavalry brigade, the Qing army heading north finally blocked the only way for the Ming army in eastern Guangdong and Li Dingguo's troops to achieve a north-south pincer attack on the main force of the Qing army.

The two sides faced off in the area between Zhoujun Village and Jiangmen Market. The strength of both sides was not too large. The Qing army divided its forces and went north to intercept, while Chen Kai was eager to go south for a pincer attack, and only took the first few towns where he landed.

, the remaining towns are still in the process of landing, or are on their way here, and have not entered the battlefield. At this moment, exactly the opposite of the southern front, here the Qing army is the main defender, and the Ming army is the main attacker, both serving the

their respective strategic and tactical intentions.

Tan Ma reported that most of the Qing troops heading north to intercept were green soldiers, but there were also about 3,000 vassal soldiers. It seemed that the flags came from the Jingnan vassal. The commander's flag clearly said a big "Xu" character.

Even if you don't see those small characters, you can immediately think of the number one general of Jingnan Fan who was once captured by the Ming army.

"It turned out to be Xu Degong. It seems that Shang Kexi is really starting to risk his life!"

At this moment, the Qing army hurriedly arrived and was beginning to form its troops. Three thousand feudal soldiers plus fifteen thousand green battalions were sealing the passage southward more and more tightly. In comparison, the Ming army only had seven towns and one camp.

In case of thousands of soldiers - Chen Kai's Fu Biao, Ke Chenshu's Zuo Zhen and Zuo Admiral You Zhen, Zhou Quanbin's Qianchong Town and Lang Deng's Suppression Hou Town, in addition to Li Jianjie's Huqi Town

The two cavalry units from Wang Qifeng's Iron Cavalry Town, which had already moved forward, started fighting with the Qing cavalry in front of the formation.

The Qing army may not be able to deploy for a while, and even after it is fully deployed, some troops will not be able to engage in the battle at the first time, and that side has become the reserve team of the army. On Chen Kai's side, several towns are placed there, barely

The battle line can be extended, that's all. As for the reserve team, we can only hope that the subsequent towns can follow suit as soon as possible.

Obviously the Ming army has stronger forces on the northern front, but landing takes time. During this time, Chen Kai can send a speedboat down the river to deliver the arriving military information to Li Dingguo as soon as possible.

But they were unable to complete the landing mission of 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers because the scale of the Ming army was too huge.

In the distance, the Qing army was still forming a team, but it seemed to be rushing in. The limited small artillery and other equipment were left behind, and they couldn't come up at all for a while. The Ming army, on the other hand, was also in a hurry.

Being able to organize people and horses in a hurry is a quality that has been cultivated by these troops for many years of training and close to the war. Otherwise, it is also just a dream.

The Ming and Qing armies on the southern front were trying their best to attack and kill. It seemed that the battle had broken out at this moment, but Chen Kai could not see it at all. The messenger who went back against the current was far from coming back. It was nothing more than an estimate. But in

On the southern front, the two armies were also in a hurry, to the point where it would have degenerated into an outright cold-weapons war if there were not some blunderbuss in the army.

Looking out at the telescope, Chen Kai sneered like this. The Ming army was advancing in formation, and the speed was slightly slower, but after encountering the Qing army's intercepting troops, they could react faster.

Seeing that the Qing army was still in formation, Chen Kai waved his hand, thunderous war drums beat, and the banners of the governors of the four governors of Zhangquan Chaohui pressed forward. The banner of the Fubiao General Army in the center was the first to respond, and then, a wave of

The phalanx of five-foot-long spears rolled southward with heavy and solid steps.

Fubiao in the center marched forward, Zuo Admiral Zuo on the left, Qianchong Town on the right, and Qianchong Town on the right and Reinforcement and Suppression Back Town also refused to give an inch, pressing fearlessly towards the Qing army, which was superior to them in strength.

In front of the formations of the two armies, the space was squeezed more and more narrowly by the advancing phalanx of the Ming army. There were formations of infantry behind them as a backing. Although the number of the Ming army's cavalry was small, they gradually pressed the Qing army's cavalry closer and closer.

They came closer and closer to the south. However, the battle formation behind them had not yet been completed, and they did not dare to retreat into the formation immediately. They had to continue to try their best to delay the Ming army's advance.

Without artillery, neither side has the long-range killing capability of more than 150 meters. The Ming army strides forward, while the Qing army's cavalry is trying its best to harass. However, the Ming army is not without cavalry. Soon, as the distance continues

Drawing closer, the Ming army's battle formation suddenly stopped. While the formation was forming, the archers who came forward raised their bows and arrows, and then tilted their heads upward at a large angle to loosen the tight bow strings.

Arrows soared into the sky like locusts. The two armies' formations were still two hundred meters away. This distance was absolutely unable to cause damage to the Qing army's battle formation. However, before the shooting took place in the blink of an eye, the commander's flag waved, and the Ming army's cavalry

Then he began to turn the horse's head and move away to both sides.

Before the superior cavalry of the Qing army could pursue them, they were rained down by arrows all over the sky. Even a group of people fell on their backs. The range of the cavalry bow is generally not as far as that of the infantry bow. If it is a cross-fire, it will be even more disadvantageous. But even so.

, even though there were many casualties at this moment, the Qing army, under the command of Xu Degong's commander, took advantage of the Ming army's cavalry to withdraw and rushed towards the Ming army's formation.

The difference in range is not that a hundred steps and ninety-nine steps are so small, but that only fifty or sixty steps have to face an opponent with a full range of one hundred to one hundred and twenty steps. Even if the cavalry maneuvers extremely fast, the distance is

It can be shortened quickly, but if you want to rush into the shooting range, you still have to withstand the rifle fire of several teams in front and behind.

The Ming army's upward fire soon turned into direct fire, and the Qing army's cavalry continued to be hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but the rolling iron stream still rushed towards them. Soon, the Ming army's infantry archers retreated.

, the spearmen and spearmen extended their spears and spears to block the horses. At the same time, the cane players also raised their shields and made tactical moves that had become a habit after training for a long time.

After entering fifty or sixty steps, the cavalry bows launched a counterattack, and the arrow rain swept in under the fierce momentum of the cavalry, crackling and smashing on the Ming army's battle formation.

Equipped with rattan plates, rattan helmets and cotton armor, while the Ming soldiers were carrying the harassment of the Qing cavalry, the infantry archers who retreated behind the formation also fired back.

The arrows drew parabolas in the sky. The precision no longer existed, but with the number and probability, they still continued to kill the Qing cavalry. They were shot by the Ming army almost all the way, and in front of them was the front of the formation.

The Qing cavalry were not heavy cavalry in the forest of spears that resisted the horses. Naturally, they had no reason to head into the forest of spears. When they were not far away, they turned directly and at the same time threw out the last round of arrow rain. In an instant, they were clear.

The military formation screamed again and again.

The Qing army's cavalry swept past the formation, stirring up a burst of flying dust. However, the Ming army was not without cavalry, and they would not allow them to be so arrogant. Only when they went straight towards the Ming army's formation, the Ming army retreated on both wings.

The military cavalry had already turned around and came back, following the Qing cavalry, killing anyone who fell behind.

The cavalry chased and fought, and the Ming army advanced step by step, killing wounded Qing cavalry soldiers along the way. The auxiliary soldiers who followed cut off their heads one by one and threw them into prepared baskets.

This was used to record merits after the war, so it should not be ignored. However, the Ming army's advance was not affected at all. It strode forward until the hundred steps, and the Qing army's formation gradually extended.

Come, the cavalry on both sides have withdrawn, retreating from the distance between the various units to the back of the formation, while the archers are pointing their bows and arrows at their counterparts on the opposite side...

Hand-to-hand combat broke out at the moment of contact. The green battalions of the Qing army came from the north and south of Jiangxi. They were still using their most skilled tactics - using long gunmen to resist horses, using swords and shields to break formations and tear open openings.

Taking advantage of the situation to cover up the kill, they relied on the advantages of having more veterans in their army and more proficient sword and shield soldiers to crush their opponents.

This kind of tactics has been successful for many years. After all, after the Qing government entered the customs, it swept the world. The old Ming army and bandits who had accumulated a lot of combat experience in the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty changed to the banner of the Qing Dynasty and worked for the tiger, and their

The opponents are newly formed rebel armies that are all based on bravery, a few old comrades who are ignorant of current affairs, and former bandits who "have their brains caught in the door and turn their guns to support the bright".

Fighting with more and less, and defeating the inferior with the superior, they often took advantage. However, the opponents they faced this time were no longer the ones they had seen before. Instead, they were an army nourished by huge profits from sea trade.

A professional army. Moreover, the tactics used by this professional army were unheard of and unseen by them!

When the two armies engaged in battle, the Qing army's warriors rushed forward as usual, looking for opportunities to break the formation. However, Su Yangzhi's troops in the middle collided directly with the dense jungle of spears in Fubiao, and even though he was stabbed a thousand times

It was full of holes; and the two wings were not much better. Although they were not as direct as Fubiao, a group of three rattan players had been immersed in it for many years and cooperated with each other tacitly. They fought side by side. The Qing army's

The sharp warriors often fall into a situation of two against three, or even one against three.

As soon as they entered the battle, the Qing army was suppressed by the Ming army, which immediately attracted the attention of Xu Degong. He was one of the few Qing troops who had ever fought against the Ming army in eastern Guangdong, but his understanding was limited to the bastion -

-In the second Lufeng Bastion Defense Battle, Xu Degong was captured after being stunned by the explosion. What he saw in that battle was that the Ming army defended the fortress, and then once it entered the soul, there was nothing left.

I know, I have never even seen a follow-up pursuit. Where have I ever seen such a tactic?

"Xu Shuai, you should understand now why Chen Kai released you last time, right?"

When receiving the order, Shang Kexi told Xu Degong that at first he only thought of the chaos in Fujian, and Chen Kai's release of him was to paralyze the civil and military forces of Fujian and even the Qing court's main sponsors. He was released, so

Carrying a heavy burden of guilt, even after returning to Guangzhou, he still continued to be the number one commander under Jingnan Fan with the help of his old brothers and the support of Jingnan Fan Geng Jimao, but he always thought that one day he would be able to catch a snow.

Former shame.

It's a good idea to use him, even if you have used him before but don't work hard, otherwise Xu Erxian of Pingnan Fan, Ban Zhifu, Lien Decheng of Jingnan Fan, none of these peers would be inferior to him.

However, after the battle, he suddenly realized that there was another meaning in Shang Kexi's words, that is, since Chen Kai dared to let him back, he would no longer be afraid of his rich combat experience and would have his own way to level the balance.

Even reversing the gap between the two sides.

If you can catch him once, don't be afraid of catching him a second time!

When he first arrived in Fuzhou and returned to Guangzhou, the people behind his back were pointed out. Even though he had experienced too much in his life, he no longer cared about it. However, within the Qing court system, it was inevitable that he, his family, and his descendants would be discriminated against as defeated generals.

.If this continues, the future will only be dim, which he does not want to see at all costs. As for switching to the Ming army, he refused to surrender last time, so naturally he will not be the same this time. At this moment, naturally

Only a bloody fight to the end is the key to why Shang Kexi must use him.

After thinking about everything, Xu Degong let go of the burden in his heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "Order all Niulu to be prepared and replenish the battle formation at any time. This time, we can't wait until the main force of the southern front defeats the old army.

This thief, we will only die!"

Three thousand vassal soldiers were fifteen Niu Lu. Xu Degong was determined to go all out. At this time, on the southern front, the fifty-five Niu Lu vassal soldiers plus the eight thousand Eight Banners Army who came south from the capital to aid also

They were already fighting together with the Ming army.

Blood and flesh are flying everywhere, and soldiers will fall down every moment, unable to stand up again. Compared with the Green Camp on the northern line, the Qing army here is concentrated with the most elite troops. Li Dingguo's troops are fighting to the death with these soldiers.

The fighting Eight Banners Army and the feudal soldiers faced each other, but even though they were suppressed by the opponent's fierce and fierce offensive, they could only do their best to maintain the defense of the formation.

Fighting to the death has become the unique theme here. Li Dingguo relied on his great prestige to maintain the fighting spirit of the Ming army, but such a fierce offensive still made him take a deep breath.

He had never seen such madness even in the Battle of Xinhui in history - after all, at that time, the Qing army's retreat was stable and even connected with Xinhui County. But at this moment, they were completely forced into

The Qing army, which was on the verge of death, really fought for their lives, but they unleashed even more terrifying lethality.

"Move Luo Luo up!"

Luo Luo Luo was originally the trump card used by the southwestern Ming army to break through the formation, and they always appeared on the battlefield where personal bravery was most needed. But at this time, Li Dingguo wanted to fill them all in, just to relieve the current huge pressure.

to hold on for more time.

When the order was given, the Yi warriors, who were clad in felt and armed with double swords, rushed into the formation with strange screams, rushed to the front of the formation from the casualties and gaps, and launched a counterattack against the Qing army. Their bravery was undeniable.

As soon as they entered the battlefield, they were caught off guard by the Eight Banners Army and the vassal soldiers. However, at this time, the Qing army had already lost its temper and could not be defeated so easily. After the offensive was slightly hindered, they rushed forward again, holding hands

Armed with shields and sabers, they were no less brave and fierce than these Yi warriors.

The bloody battle continued, and the Eight Banners Army and the feudal lords attacked fiercely. Fortunately, as happened in history, the left wing fell and the battle formation was shaken, but it did not happen. Li Dingguo mobilized the reserve team to storm the left wing hill regardless of casualties. Gao Wengui, Zhang

One of the two victorious troops launched an attack, while the other restrained their defeated troops and took turns taking charge. This undoubtedly put great pressure on the elite vassal soldiers on the hill on the left flank.

Once the left wing was taken, they would naturally not give up. For this reason, Shang Zhizhi could only hold on to this place, without having the energy to rush down the mountain to attack the flank of the Ming army's center.

The battle lines were stalemate, as was the northern front, and so was the southern front. Even the left wing of the southern front was not much different. It was just in the midst of this exhausting exhaustion that several artillery pieces were pushed to the hill on the left wing, facing the Qing army.
Chapter completed!
