The death and injury of only a few hundred people had little impact on Zhao Qingjun. Inspired by promotion, wealth and women, the Ming army was very morale, with only "thieves" left in their red eyes, and their minds were full of "killing, killing, and killing".

Soon, the second round of artillery shells fell and hundreds of Ming soldiers killed and injured. When the distance between the two armies on the front battlefield was less than one hundred feet, the musketeers in Gao Wei's army opened fire!

In an instant, 360 leads ejected into the Ming army array. The hundreds of Ming soldiers who rushed to the front felt a pain in their bodies. They ran forward one by one, and after two steps, they fell weakly on the ground.

This is not over yet. On the front battlefield, two regiments of more than 2,000 musketeers stood directly into six horizontal rows, with at least 360 people in each horizontal row. A row of musketeers shot out lead. Immediately, the second row of musketeers ran to the front, raised their guns, and opened fire.

The first row of musketeers who had already shot out the lead directly loaded ammunition on their tiger-head guns, and the steps for loading ammunition were also very different from before.

In the past, when loading ammunition, gunpowder was loaded in a small bamboo tube. There was a small spoon in the small bamboo tube. Use a small spoon to dig out the quantitative gunpowder and put it into the tiger head gun. It is easy for novices to install more or less gunpowder, which affects the shooting of the tiger head gun.

Now the musketeers directly took out a small paper bag made of oil paper from their pockets, bite the paper bag with their teeth, and poured the quantitative gunpowder in the paper bag into the tiger head gun, which is very easy to do. It is reduced in ammunition loading time compared to the past, and the result is that the shooting frequency is increased.

Rows of musketeers shot out lead bullets, rows of Ming soldiers rushing forward fell. In just over a dozen seconds, six musketeers shot out more than 2,000 lead bullets, bringing more than 1,500 casualties to the Ming army on the front battlefield.

Almost after the second round of fire was fired by the musketeers on the front battlefield, the musketeers on the left and right battlefields showed their power one after another. In just over twenty seconds, the number of casualties in the Ming army exceeded 3,000.

Zhao Qing, who personally led the Central Army, was shocked by the changes in the battlefield. Before the two armies had contact, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties at such a long distance, which was obviously caused by the enemy's musketeers.

As a general of the Ming army, Zhao Qing knew very well that the enemy's musket soldiers were the enemy's elite troops, and had an amazing record of repelling 30,000 Ming army with less than a thousand musket soldiers.

The total number of Zhao Qing's army was only 36,000. On this frontal battlefield alone, Zhao Qing felt that the number of enemy musket soldiers exceeded 1,000.

"The thief's musket soldiers are here. Is this thief army the main force? Have you fallen into the trap?" Zhao Qing suddenly had various thoughts in his mind, and even Zhao Qing had the idea of ​​withdrawing his troops.

"No, we cannot withdraw our troops. The enemy has only more than 20,000 people. Even if there are more than 1,000 musketeers, as long as the left and right sides successfully break through, I can take down this thief army. After the war, my contribution is definitely the greatest."

Thinking of this, Zhao Qing shouted directly to the Ming soldiers around him: "Brothers, rush me, kill the thieves directly, and get promoted and make money."

After Zhao Qing finished shouting, his personal guards and other officers shouted similar words, inspiring the soldiers to charge forward.

The Ming army, which had almost stopped advancing under the attack of the People's Armed Forces, aroused the courage again and continued to charge forward. However, what was waiting for them in front were waves of lead bombs that harvested life!

Under the attack of the People's Arms, the Ming army could hardly move forward a few steps, but the People's Army was advancing. As the musketeers advanced forward, the other troops were advancing, and the distance between the two sides was less than fifty feet.

The distance of fifty feet has reached the range of the Ming army's musket soldiers, but under the attack of the People's Arms' firearms, the Ming army's musket soldiers have almost died.

Feeling that the Ming army in front of him was not far from being defeated, Gao Wei directly ordered other troops to charge from both wings of the firearms unit.

Musketeers kept firing out lead bullets representing death, and rows of Ming soldiers were harvested.

Faced with death, the soldiers of the Ming army no longer care about women who have been promoted and made money. Women who have been promoted and made money have no life. Only by living can they think about those things. If they die, there will be nothing left.

Without the Ming soldiers charging, they threw away their weapons and fled behind them frantically. They wanted to use their colleagues' bodies to resist the lead bullets attacking from behind.

Looking at the collapsed front army, looking at the enemy who had already launched a charge, and getting news that they were also attacked by enemy musketeers on the left and right sides, Zhao Qingqiang, with a terrible face, calmed down and immediately issued an order to retreat.

"Mingjin withdraws his troops! Retreat quickly!"

Chaos had spread in the Ming army, and Zhao Qing could no longer send a certain unit to cut off the rear. Zhao Qing figured it out that he was facing the main force of the People's Army. Don't think about resisting the enemy in front of him, you can't stop it at all. All you can do now is escape. How many people can escape are counted as many people.

Under the protection of dozens of personal guards, Zhao Qing rode a horse and quickly fled behind him. Several personal guards took Zhao Qing's orders toward Mei Yousong's army, sending the news that Zhao Qing's army was defeated by the main force of the thief.

Under Gao Wei's attack, Zhao Qing's army was defeated one after another on both sides of the middle road, and the musketeers were still firing, shooting rows of escaped Ming soldiers, first boarding the troops, grenadier troops, and cold weapons troops rushed up from both sides of the firearm troops, avoiding the tiger-headed rifle ballistics, and pursuing the defeated enemy.

The Ming army ran farther and farther away, and the firearms troops gradually ceased to fire and followed other troops to pursue the Ming army.

In pursuit war, the People's Army is good at chasing war. The Ming army will not conduct any long-distance marching training, but marching training is a training task that the various units of the People's Army usually carry out every day.

Sufficient food ensures high-intensity training for the People's Army soldiers. The only thing they lack is meat. There is not much meat, so they can only eat more food.

Originally, Zhao Qingjun and Gao Weijun started fighting after marching for more than ten miles, and even threw away the weapons and fled away the Ming soldiers who were fleeing wildly, but were slowly caught up by the People's Army.

"Put down your weapons, the surrendered ones kneel down and don't kill them!" a soldier from the People's Army shouted.

"Put down your weapons, the surrendered ones kneel down and don't kill them!" shouted a group of people's army soldiers.

When I saw the People's Army soldiers catching up with me, the Ming soldiers who felt that they could not escape were kneeling directly on the ground, with their heads pressed against the ground, and they hated that they could bury their entire body in the soil, their bodies trembled, and they were afraid that the People's Army soldiers would slash over with one knife.

As for the Ming soldiers kneeling on the ground, the People's Army soldiers rushed up and passed by directly and continued to pursue them. There would be troops behind them to gather the surrendered Ming soldiers.

The troops were limited, and Gao Wei did not intend to keep too many people to collect the prisoners. Gao Wei's army's main task had not been completed. Now Gao Wei's army is pursuing the prisoners while advancing westward. If the prisoners fled north and the latter fled south, they would still run far away, and there would be no People's Army soldiers chasing them.
