These experienced mercenaries, despite the rain of arrows and bullets in the sky, still lined up to fire muskets and lined up with calm expressions. Although the team stood relatively close, some people fell down from time to time after being hit by arrows, but they simply ignored it and one fell down.

Just fill up the positions left and right and keep moving forward.

Until one dies, one's footsteps will not stop.

Although the musketeers have weak armor, they still have spear infantry leading the way, so they are relatively safe and have a sufficient output environment. Zhang Mingzhen also leads the light cavalry in guerrilla attacks, which reduces a lot of their burden.

By the time Zhu Yihai arrived with the artillery teams from the Houwei Banner Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, the battle had already heated up, and it was even clear that the Ming army had the upper hand.

Lao Zhu pulled Nikolai over and shouted, "Hunt your cannons on the Tatars, hit them hard!"

Nikolai's artillery team is all small cannons. There are no cannons. The small cannons can be pulled by horses. Although they are not powerful, it depends on the situation where they are used.

"Your Highness, please rest assured and watch our performance."

Nikolai pushed his nose and directed his artillerymen to take the Fran machine gun off the horse, load it quickly, and build an artillery position.

Adjust, correct.

Load, aim.

"put!"

After the six sub-cannons of the Fran cannon were loaded, they were quickly loaded into the main gun barrel, ignited, and fired.

With a few loud bangs, six lead bullets passed over the Ming army and hit the Tatar position.

Zhu Yihai held up a telescope to watch. Only one of the six cannons hit. The small cannonball fell into a Tatar infantry formation, killing two of them. After landing, the cannonball jumped up and rolled around like a bowling ball.

He broke several more Tatar legs, then jumped up and took another one away.

Although it didn't have the powerful splashing effect of the explosive bomb, this thing was also very terrifying. The Tatar formation with dozens of people was suddenly opened with a big hole.

Nicholas quickly ordered his artillerymen to correct their positions based on the impact point of the first shot.

The gunner over there cleaned the gun barrel, reloaded it and replaced it with a sub-barrel, and the Fran cannon was in position again.

"put!"

There were six booms in a row, and this time three out of six were struck. Nikolay, the artillery captain, was indeed professional enough.

At least six or seven of the Tatars died and more than a dozen were injured.

Mattim's Shenji Camp musketry team also continued to advance, firing muskets non-stop.

"The Tatars are running!"

Zhang Mingyang, who has been guarding Zhu Yihai, said.

On the battlefield, the arrogant Tatars were also stunned. They never expected that the Ming army that suddenly appeared was so fierce. Those light cavalry were more powerful than the Guan Ning cavalry, and they could fight with so many firearms behind them.

It's so sharp, why does it have a cannon?

Still so accurate?

The Tatar leader is also a ruthless man. He knows that he has made a big mistake today. As soon as these Ming troops appear, he should not underestimate the enemy. He should abandon the stronghold and immediately turn around to meet the enemy. He should even retreat temporarily to avoid their attack and regroup.

Fight again.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

The Tatars were attacked from both sides and couldn't even form a formation in a hurry. The opponent's light cavalry charged too fast, their firearms fired too hard, and even their infantry was far superior to the Ming army they had encountered before.

How long has it been since you encountered such a tough situation?

This made him feel as if he had returned to the time when he fought fiercely with the Ming army in Liaodong in the early years.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, he gritted his teeth and ordered a breakout and retreat. He could no longer continue fighting like this.

Upon hearing the order, the Tatars mounted their horses and fled.

These people were very fierce. Even though they were beaten so badly, they were still very fierce and did not collapse. They galloped forward and moved forward indomitably.

They were forced to break out of the way.

Zhu Yihai stopped Zhang Mingzhen.

"Don't chase poor bandits."

Although they had just won a battle, Zhu Yihai, who was watching the whole battle, could clearly see that in this battle, they were 5,000 against 600. They were outnumbered by a large number, and they were even better at attacking them unprepared.

Now the Tatars are trying to survive by cutting off their tails, and they only have a few hundred cavalry here. If Zhang Mingzhen really pursues them, he won't be able to gain an advantage. He might accidentally get bitten off a piece of his flesh, or even be annihilated.

"It's pretty good if you can tear off a chunk of meat from a tartar. There's no rush."

"Just send a team to keep an eye on them all night. I believe there will always be a chance. If we find an opportunity, we can destroy them again."

Zhu Yihai was not dazzled by the victory. After all, his men were a new army. He was secretly shocked by the Tatars' fighting power just now. Under such circumstances, he was attacked by ten times the number of enemies, but he could still withstand it.

Come down.

Although they suffered over a hundred casualties, they still allowed them to break out. This performance far surpassed that of the Ming army. Faced with this situation, none of his battalion leaders were confident that Zhu Yihai could do this.

"First clean the battlefield, treat the wounded soldiers, and capture the defeated soldiers."

"Your Highness, the leaders of the Meishan Village Shizhong Camp Volunteers Huang Zongxi, Feng Jingdi, Wantai, Lu Yuding and others request to see you!"

"Lu Yuding from Ningbo?" Zhu Yihai remembered one of the six crazy students in Ningbo who he had met. This man was a good friend of Qian Sule. Zhu Yihai had previously given him the same background as a Jinshi and the title of Xingren, but he refused to be an official.

Unexpectedly, here.

"It's Mr. Lu. He is good friends with Huang Zongxi and Feng Jingdi who have returned to society. They came here to set up the Shizhong Camp together. They were originally recruiting troops here, but unexpectedly the Tartars suddenly attacked. Fortunately, His Highness arrived, otherwise today

Then something unexpected happened.”

The name Huang Zongxi is very familiar to Zhu Yihai. He and Gu Yanwu are one of the four major thinkers in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties listed in the history books of junior high school. Gu Yanwu's "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" is a famous saying through the ages, while Huang Zongxi advocates the idea that the world is the master and the guest.

Also very impressive.

They are also famous veterans of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Huangyan before, Huang Zongxi now, and Zhu Yihai never expected to meet on this occasion.

"Today's great defeat of the Tartars brings great joy to people's hearts. We also meet Huang and Feng Zhu, loyal and patriotic men, which makes me even more happy. Please invite all of you soon!"

Although Zhu Yihai had never liked the Donglin Party and Fushe in his heart, at this time, he was also very aware of the huge influence of Donglin and Fushe among the people, and he needed the support of these scholar representatives.

What's more, these few people are still Donglin, and it is rare for Zhu Yihai to admire and praise them as true gentlemen in Fushe, so they should be treated more favorably.

"Behead all the Tatars." Zhu Yihai specifically confessed.

"Take no prisoners, leave no one alive, behead them all." Then he added another sentence.
