Chapter 114 Butterfly (Part 2)

Just like the last battle of Jiangdong Bridge, the Ming army's camp was only simple, because Zheng Chenggong never intended to rely on the camp to defend to the death. It was just to reduce losses and increase the difficulty of the Qing army's attack.

Every time the Qing army's energy is wasted, the Ming army's hope of victory will be greater. Huangshan was promoted to admiral by Zheng Chenggong and had two thousand-man-level troops directly under the town. He was already one of the highest-level generals.

Naturally, Zheng Chenggong’s tactics are the most understandable.

The Qing army was advancing step by step, and the Ming army's firearms had already been prepared. Firecrackers, artillery, rockets, behind the rough wooden wall, looking through the gaps between the wood, as time passed and the movement in the distance

The sound became louder and louder, and even the breathing gradually became heavier.

"No guns can be fired without orders, and those who disobey orders will be killed!"

The officer shouted loudly. After hearing this, the gunner subconsciously moved the cannon away from the fuse. The archer was not in a hurry to light the arrow, and the musketeer did not dare to open the fire door, for fear that the match rope would splash some sparks and cause damage.

The firecracker accidentally went off.

The Ming army maintained necessary restraint. On the Qing army's side, the cavalry galloped, and the smoke covered the infantry. They shouted in unison until they were about a hundred paces away, and immediately there were shouts of killing. The tension of the Ming army inevitably deepened.

, but despite the long-term training, the strict military laws of the headquarters, and the officers' orders just now were still in their ears, they just looked at the Qing army in the distance without any reaction.

Chen Kai told Zheng Chenggong earlier about some records he had seen in later generations, some records about the Qing army deceiving the Ming Dynasty into firing weapons outside the range. For this reason, Zheng Chenggong also had the corresponding understanding early on.

The military emphasized that training also required officers not to fire unless ordered, otherwise even if they killed the Manchu emperor, they would only be punished by death.

In the Battle of Pantuoling, when the Ke brothers faced the thick fog that could not see anyone a few meters away, the Ming army was able to withstand the psychological pressure. Even if they faced the Eight Banners Army under the Han banner, they could not

There was no fluctuation either.

The Qing army was still advancing step by step. The cavalry deceived them several times, but found that it was still useless, so they simply retreated behind the formation. The cavalry's futile return did not hinder the infantry from continuing to advance. With heavy steps, Jiangxi

The bid was raised in front, and the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou were behind, approaching step by step from two miles away. In the dull and extremely depressing space, the air seemed to be slowly solidifying. One and a half miles, one mile, half a mile, into a hundred steps.

Within a short time, the artillery of the Ming army finally started to sound.

The artillery shells roared up from the exit of the camp, whizzed down, and hit the ground heavily. The huge kinetic energy caused the shells to penetrate into the soil, and splashed large areas of plaster. Occasionally, some black tracks flashed in.

The crowd stirred up large areas of red, and at the same time brought long or short screams.

Starting from the first bombardment, the Ming army's artillery fire never stopped. The number of Ming army artillery in the camp made Jin Li sweat a little. It was not that there were many more artillery pieces than the Han army flags. It was just that one of the Ming army's artillery pieces was fighting for victory in consecutive battles.

The Ming army, which only had half of the prefecture's territory before, could be so large. The huge profits from sea trade really made him feel like he was about to be buried alive by the Ming army with money. With this kind of thinking, he learned from his deputy Liu Zhiyuan

It was also clearly visible in his eyes.

"If you win this battle, you should make more money than when you fight Zhoushan."

With such thoughts emerging, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. The bombardment in front of them continued, but they didn't care. Apart from other things, at least those being bombarded by the Ming army at this stage were the Green Camp soldiers - the Green Camp soldiers.

If you die, you will die. There is nothing to regret.

The Qing army's large formation continued to advance, and the Ming army's copper keels, infantry bows, folang machines, and fire blunderbuss also sounded one after another as the distance continued to shorten.

Cannonballs, arrows, and lead bullets baptized the Qing army's formation, which undoubtedly caused a lot of casualties to the Qing army. Jiangxi Tibiao, who was traveling in front, seemed to be unable to bear the constant casualties.

, but the Eight Banners Army behind them seemed to embolden them, supporting them to continue moving forward.

After a distance of fifty steps, the Ming army fired a round of rapid fire with the muskets of the Fo Lang machine gun. The casualties increased suddenly, but at this moment, the war drums behind them rumbled.

The sound of the sound instantly overwhelmed the artillery fire ahead. The iron rule of the battlefield is that beating drums leads to advance. The Qing army who raised the bid certainly understood it, and even under the leadership of the grassroots officers, they rushed towards the forward camp with shouts.

The Qing army suddenly accelerated. The officers of the Ming army had experienced many years of fighting. When they retreated the unloaded artillery carriages and replaced them with tiger squatting cannons that had been filled with gunpowder, they immediately gave an order and the loaders

They stuffed the iron sand and stones that had been prepared.

There was a roar, and the Qing army that had rushed twenty or thirty steps was knocked down in the violent storm of iron sand and stones. The Qing army that followed could not help but be stunned, but the Eight Banners Army was behind them, standing firm.

With the spear almost pressed against their backs, how could they dare to hesitate?

He screamed like crazy and attacked like a desperado, as if this was the only way to release the fear that almost burst his chest!

The impact broke out, and the Qing army savagely collided with the wooden fence of the camp. After the shelling of the Ming army, they directly replaced the long gunmen, and used the gaps between the not very strong wooden fence to fight against the Qing troops who tried to push it down.

Stab. On the Qing army's side, they also used swords and shields to block, chop and assassinate with spears, just hoping to kill and injure the Ming army while taking the opportunity to knock down the wooden fence and go straight into the camp.

Around this fragile wooden fence, the two sides launched a desperate struggle. Especially for the Qing army, the Ming army, including the Ming army, had a good location and could never overturn the wooden fence, so the casualties would always be more for them.

.

The battle here was in full swing. Jin Li, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, received the emergency report and turned to look at the left wing of the Ming army. There, the Ming army had already toppled Muzha, attacked the Zhong Admiral, pro-Ding Town, and assisted Zuo Town.

The Ming army in Qianfeng Town and guarding Zuozhen's flag had already formed a formation outside the camp, and pressed straight towards Shi Fu and Ma Jinbao. Behind them, the Ming army's reinforcements in Zhong Town, escorting

Zhongzhen also followed closely behind, and it seemed that there was even the figure of Zheng Chenggong's ace unit Rongqi Town further back.

No one can guarantee how long Shi Fu and Ma Jinbao can last under such strong troops. Seeing this, Jin Li waved his hand, the commander's flag waved, and soon, the place where the bid was raised erupted into cheers.

.At the same time, the formation of the bid raisers moved from back to front and gradually separated to the two wings. The Hangzhou Garrison Eight Banners, who were always ready to go behind the bid raisers, were like the Wei River flowing into Jing. While quickly filling the gap in the bid raisers, they

The army moved forward from behind.

Cheers resounded throughout the battlefield, which was due to the prestige accumulated over the decades since the Liao Dynasty. Although they were not truly Manchurian, the Eight Banners of the Han Army were also the Eight Banners Army. They moved to the front of the formation arrogantly, always in Hangzhou.

They are domineering and superior to others, but they will live up to their illustrious reputation in the future.

Along with these infantry, there were a large number of artillery. The auxiliary soldiers tried their best to bring them forward. The gunner loaded the cannon in front of the Ming army, and then pressed the torch directly without any order.

After just one round of bombardment, the Han army flag soldiers behind the artillery shouted and rushed forward. And those dilapidated wooden fences were obviously no longer able to block the rushing turbid current.
