The shrill blast of the charge resounded across the battlefield!
The war drums at the top of Jiaxing City were even beaten.
The Ming army's offensive was almost unstoppable. In just a moment, they regained the front line that had been lost to the Qing army when the rebel army had just retreated.
It even made a lot of progress!
Under the overwhelming offensive of the Ming army, the Qing army continued to retreat.
The balance of victory on the battlefield continues to tilt towards Ming...
At the same time, the cavalry confrontation between the Ming and Qing Dynasties also determined the winner!
The Qing army suffered some small losses!
Although the Ming army had a certain upper hand, due to its limited strength, it was not able to achieve much breakthrough.
The Qing army relied on its superior strength to stabilize the war situation!
The Ming army's offensive was resisted!
The two sides fought fiercely for a while and then retreated.
The battlefield has once again become an infantry show!
The Guangfu Army's offensive was much faster and more violent than that of the Guiyi Army, constantly forcing the Qing Army to retreat.
Tuhai tried to get the Eight Banners soldiers to repeat their old tricks and raid the flanks of the Ming army again.
However, the Liberation Army used their tactics to lure the enemy in, and then launched a battle of encirclement and annihilation.
Behead six to seven hundred level Eight Banners soldiers in one go!
If this number were placed on a Green Camp soldier, Tu Hai wouldn't even blink an eye.
But when it comes to the Eight Banners Soldiers, that's not the case!
It's not heartbreaking, but it's enough to make Tu Hai uncomfortable for a while.
At this moment, Wu Tuotuo, who had retreated from the battlefield, suggested.
"My Lord Governor, it is not an option to continue to be beaten passively like this. The general will request to lead troops to raid the Ming army's camp and force the Ming army to return to defense."
In such a decisive battle where the combined strength of both sides is hundreds of thousands, blindly passive defense is not advisable.
You must take the initiative to launch an attack to have a chance of winning!
Not only is it a problem that you will lose if you defend for a long time, but more importantly, it has an impact on morale.
In a decisive battle, one's own side is constantly on the defensive and retreating steadily. The impact on morale is immeasurable.
Tuhai nodded in agreement, Wuduo Daqian accepted the order, then turned around and led his troops to the battlefield again.
Attack the Ming army's camp in the north of Jiaxing City!
In this counterattack, the infantry was the main force. The cavalry led by Wutuo roamed around the battlefield, only providing cover for the infantry.
The Ming cavalry came out again and attacked the Qing cavalry.
The two sides continued to engage in horse-and-shooting confrontations, and then began to clash.
However, since the cavalry on both sides were severely exhausted in the last battle and both men and horses were exhausted, the intensity of the battle was not very intense.
On the contrary, an extremely fierce battle broke out between the infantry of both sides. Facing the Qing army who took the initiative to kill, the Ming army did not show any timidity and directly faced it.
Heavy artillery fire covered the ground, rockets washed the ground, and after several rounds of gunfire, several more rounds of grenades were thrown!
Finally, a bayonet charge repelled the Qing's attacking troops neatly!
This counterattack by the Qing army achieved nothing except leaving corpses all over the battlefield.
After the Qing infantry was defeated and retreated, the Qing cavalry had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield!
The only role they played in this battle was to cover their own infantry, so that they did not have to be chased by the Ming army's cavalry after the defeat, that's all.
…
The failure of this counterattack made Tuhai's face become even more ugly.
The skin on an old face is wrinkled together, as if it could trap mosquitoes.
Wutuo knelt in front of Tuhai, knocked his forehead on the ground, and opened his mouth to apologize.
"The general is incompetent, please punish me, the Governor!"
Tu Hai took a deep breath and then spoke.
"It's okay, go back and rest!"
The evolution of the battle situation on the battlefield became increasingly unfavorable to the Qing army.
The Fifth Infantry Division of the Liberation Army gradually showed its fatigue after an hour of storming the Qing army camp.
However, before the Qing army could take the opportunity to counterattack, the Ming army sent a new main force!
The 4th Infantry Division took over the battle, and the 5th Infantry Division retreated to repair.
The Fourth Infantry Division's offensive was equally fierce, with the same fighting style and the same tactics, but the Qing army just couldn't hold it back.
Time continued to pass, and from morning to night, the Ming army's offensive never stopped.
It's just that the troops responsible for the main attack are constantly rotated to prevent the army from becoming exhausted after a long battle.
Even after it got dark, the Ming army's offensive did not stop.
It’s just that the intensity of the attack has slowed down!
…
However, the intensity of the attack slowed down at night, which was for the Ming army.
For the Qing army, the intensity of the Ming army's attack still left them at a loss.
Before this, Tuhai and the others had never seen the Ming army's round-the-clock fighting style!
"Aren't there any blindfolded thiefs there?"
"How dare they fight at night?"
"..."
Li Guoying stood beside Tu Hai, looking at the battlefield that was still brightly lit even at night.
The expression on his face was very puzzled.
"The Governor-General will not be able to bear it if he continues like this!"
Li Guoying said to Tu Hai who was in a plate.
Tuhai nodded and agreed.
But the expression on his face was full of helplessness.
"Everyone, please tell me how our army should respond to the Ming thief's offensive?"
Tuhai took back his realization and asked with a tired voice.
Li Guoying stood up and suggested.
"Perhaps our army can launch a full-line offensive to counterattack the Ming thieves!"
"It is better to press all the troops in one go and fight the Ming thieves in a decisive battle than to be bloodletted continuously like this."
To be honest, although the Qing army suffered a loss in today's battle.
But it was just a loss, and the main force was not damaged.
In today's day of fighting, the Qing army's casualties were only six to seven thousand people.
Sounds like a lot!
But what you need to know is that the total strength of the Qing army in this battle reached an astonishing more than 200,000.
Six to seven thousand people is at most one-fortieth of the military strength!
Today, although the Ming army has an advantage, it is not obvious how obvious the advantage is.
How could an army of over 200,000 be defeated so easily?
Even if the Ming army could maintain the intensity of its attack today, it would take at least ten days and a half to defeat the Qing army's more than 200,000 troops.
Unless something happened to Tu Hai suddenly like Hong Chengchou, which caused the morale of the Qing army to collapse.
After listening to Li Guoying's words, Tu Hai nodded slightly and agreed.
"Instruct the whole army to leave some spare troops to deal with the attack of Ming thieves."
"Everyone else should rest!"
"Prepare for tomorrow's major counterattack!"
"..."
The reason why Tuhai didn't give the order to counterattack now.
That's because it was completely dark at this time!
Most of the soldiers in the Green Camp of the Qing Army had night blindness due to lack of nutrition.
If Tuhai wanted to launch a counterattack at night, he would have to let all the Eight Banners troops attack.
Green Camp is not even qualified to paddle!
…
Zhu Hongyu was still staying at the top of Jiaxing City. The cold wind blew in at night, sweeping the Ming Dynasty dragon flag and making Zhu Hongyu's cloak flutter.
His figure is as straight as a javelin, and wherever he stands, he looks like a monument!
The accessories around his waist, the military uniform on his body, and his aura of iron-blooded killing are unforgettable at a glance.
"Your Highness, it's late at night and the weather is cold. It's time for you to go back and rest!"
Wang Ruxian said in Zhu Hongyu's ear.
Everyone around him also spoke out to persuade him.
"Yes, Your Highness, it's late at night!"
"Your Highness, you can go back and rest, as long as we keep an eye on you here!"
"Your Highness's body is the first priority. You must not tire yourself out!"
