Chapter 165 The saint is here! The saint is here!

The sound of cannons suddenly fell silent, replaced by a shocking shout.

On the muddy battlefield, hundreds of five spearmen soldiers from the Jinyi private army formed a horizontal lineup and advanced in the rain, rushing towards the Qing army, which was suddenly bombarded by shotguns. In the dimness, the cold light shone on the tip of the spear, as if they were eager to drink blood.

Ling Zongjun, who made great contributions in the battle of Huangpu Village, seized the opportunity to take the lead again. He commanded five spear leaders and launched the first wave of attacks by the Ming army in this battle. Although he had been promoted to the position of the general, he still rushed to the front with a sword in one hand and a flintlock pistol in the other!

The Qing army, which was bombarded with shotgun by five 6-pound iron cannons, also had an unimaginable fighting spirit at this time, and they were no longer fighting for Shang Kexi or Emperor Kangxi, but to go home and not be killed by Guangdong, where their families were killed and killed. Therefore, they had no way out and could only fight to the death. However, their formation was already chaotic, and some grassroots officers were killed and injured. They had no time to reorganize the formation, so they had to bite the bullet, raise the swords and guns in their hands, and shouted and forced them to push forward.

When both sides made the loudest shouts at the same time, the collision happened immediately!

The winner and the outcome were also decided at the same time!

The Ming army's Jinyi's personal spearmen who maintained a neat line won the victory without any suspense.

Although their personal martial arts are far inferior to their opponents, and their ability to form formations is much worse than that of their opponents. However, when the two sides collided, they still maintained their formation. Because their opponents were bombarded by shotguns before, they could only respond in a scattered formation.

In addition to the advantage of formation, the spearmen of Jinyi’s personal army also have another advantage, that is, the spears they hold are relatively long!

The Ming army's spears were made in Foshan from the arsenal of the Portuguese Macau. They were made of Spanish spears. The long iron spear head and the sturdy wooden spear rod were more than 80 meters long.

There is no spear of this length in the hands of the Qing army's green camp soldiers. This is because the spear of the 8-ba spear poses too much to the cavalry, and the Eight Banners soldiers are mainly cavalry or horse infantry. How can the spear of the Green Camp soldiers threaten the Eight Banners soldiers' horse team?

Therefore, the standard green battalion spear is a pole of 100 feet, a head of 7 inches, and a 3 inches of horns, which can reach a maximum of 100 feet. However, Shang Kexi is also an old servant with over-the-counter loyalty. He felt that the spear of 4 was still too long, and it was reduced by two feet. Therefore, the flag army and green battalion soldiers under his command only had a maximum of 20 feet of guns.

The long spear is an inch long gun, of course, and it is not convenient to use if it is too long, so it is different. However, it is 8 to 200, and it is very tight. Even though most of the Shang Family Army's green camp soldiers were wearing armor, the sarcastic sound of the spear tip piercing into the human body still kept reminding me of the slashing sound, and there were sometimes heart-wrenching screams.

It seems that the step armor that Shang Kexi sent to the people below is not very reliable!

However, after the five-leader spearmen commanded by Ling Zongjun defeated the Qing army in front of him, their formation was also scattered.

These people still lack training and have too little practical experience. After defeating the Qing army's dead soldiers, they were a little lost. They did not complete the team in time to deal with the next hedge, but were busy cutting heads and chasing the remaining soldiers. When they were happy, the sharp army in the Qing army's front was already shouting and rushing through the fog wall caused by the smoke bombs and rushed towards the already scattered Ming army's gun formation.

Ling Zongjun shouted that he wanted his subordinates to raise his gun to resist, while raising the flintlock pistol in his hand and aiming at a Qing army officer coming towards him. The bullets drilled in from the junction of the man's right neck and shoulder.

The major artery on the side of the man's neck was instantly cut off by a bullet, and the blood column immediately rushed to Lao Gao, spurting the Qing army spearmen around him all over his body.

The Qing army officer made a giggle sound from his throat, covered his bloody wound with both hands, and rushed forward with all his might, before he fell to the ground unwillingly, as if he wanted to die a little closer to his family in Guangzhou.

Seeing him fall, the soldiers and generals on both sides were surging up at the same time, making the loudest roar, raising their swords and guns, and pounced on each other.

The sound of cannons sounded again at this time, and the twelve mortars placed behind the Ming army began to fire smoke bombs. They just now because the spear soldiers led by Ling Zongjun won the victory and thought they could repel the Qing army's offensive, so they stopped firing to save ammunition.

But beyond Su Zhanshan and the others' expectations, the Qing soldiers' offensive wave after wave. Before their first dead soldiers retreated, the first sharp soldiers rushed up.

This time it was the spearmen commanded by Ling Zongjun that were disbanded by the opponent, but the fighting will of these spearmen was tenacious enough, and they still held it tightly and refused to retreat.

Su Zhanshan, who was commanding at a high place, saw this scene and immediately sent a cluster of grenades from ten other leaders of the swordsman.

The one who pioneered the way this time was a grenade with a torch in one hand and a grenade with a grenade in the other hand, but the black gunpowder grenade could still be used. These grenades formed a scattered formation and ignited the lead while rushing. When they rushed to the vicinity of the battle group where both sides were fighting, they threw grenades one after another.

Of course, these grenade hammers were not thrown on the heads of both sides of the war, but were thrown behind the Qing army, with the purpose of scaring their rear team and preventing them from joining the battle group.

However, the rain has not stopped yet. A considerable number of grenades have been wiped out by raindrops or simply thrown into the puddle without a blow. Moreover, the explosive power of the black gunpowder is incomparable to sugar medicine.

Therefore, the noise caused by these grenades was not very loud, and they did not kill a few people, but they still slightly delayed the Qing army's rear team.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the reinforcements sent by Su Zhanshan joined the melee team in time. Because of their joining, the Ming army once again gained the upper hand and began to slash the Qing army, which was only half of them.

However, the tenacity of the Qing army was far beyond Su Zhanshan's expectations!

Even though they were at a disadvantage, even if they were besieged by twice their enemies, they still fought to the death and not only did they not retreat, but they even dared to cheer!

"Look, water overcomes fire, their thunder will not explode. Zhenren Zhang is right!"

"I won, I won, I will win"

"Kill the thief! Go home! Go rush!"

This was really surprising. The less powerful black gunpowder grenade thrown by the Ming army actually inspired the fighting spirit of the Qing army. They had heard of the move of "using water to overcome fire and breaking the sky thunder" given by Zhenren, so when they saw that the power of the black gunpowder grenade explosion was limited, they all felt that there were "immortals" here, so their morale was immediately boosted.

At this moment, the rapid sound of drums suddenly remembered that Shang Zhixiao, who was commanding the attack, was giving the order to attack the entire army!

The four or five thousand Qing troops suddenly became excited, shouting the slogan "Kill the thief! Go home!" and rushed towards the battle group ahead.

Su Zhanshan, who was commanding on a high place, saw this scene, and his face that looked tender turned pale.

Why is this Qing Yao so difficult to fight?

Is it impossible to defeat them without sugar medicine weapons? This is not possible!

Thinking of this, he had to grit his teeth, take a spear from his personal soldiers around him, and yelled: "Brothers, come with me to take it up! Kill the Qing Demon! Destroy the Shang Family!"

He had already gathered the ten-leaders on standby on the left town position of Jinyi's personal army, and they all shouted with him: "Kill the Qing demon! Destroy the Shang family!"

Seeing the people below being very angry, Su Zhanshan carried a spear down the high slope, took the lead, led the thousand infantry out of the position, and threw himself into the battlefield that had already been fought in front!

The situation ahead is still a bit serious!

Even if Su Zhanshan led a thousand people into it, the number of people he invested was only more than 3,000, while the number of people on the other side was as high as four or five thousand, and Su Zhanshan had no reserve team at his hands.

Seeing that a tough battle was about to begin, the loudest shout suddenly sounded behind Su Zhanshan: "The saint is here! The saint is here!"
