Lingxi's roughly traverses from the southwest to the northeast for several miles in front and behind the Ming army's landing point. Although the mountain on the west side cannot be called steep, the downhill along the mountain to the flat area where the Ming army is located is a large area of ​​thick woods. It is not easy to detour with a large army in a small range.

When the Qing army bypassed the mountains and forests, the first thing they saw was that as the scouts said, the vanguard of the Ming army who had crossed Lingxi was already on high alert, but the Nantang camp in front of them was very different from before, so that Zhang Guoxun, Wang Sheng and others almost did not recognize it.

In front of the Ming army, there were a row of tiger squatting cannons in front, and behind them was a firearm team composed of musketeers and archers. These were not unexpected, but if you look back, there were rows of long spears. On the contrary, the number of wolf wises that the Qing army had remembered before was sharply reduced, but were also placed in the back queue. I don’t know what the Ming army sold in the gourd.

Zhang Guoxun was watching the Ming army's front from afar on the war horse, which was obviously very different from last year. Wang Sheng was even more surprised because the last time he fought with this Ming army personally, he was still the escort troops that besieged Wang Jiang last year. The Nantang camp used the initial organization, rather than the kind of organization that Zhang Guoxun saw in a mixed assembly of killer teams and firearm teams.

But no matter how the organization changes, the purpose of the long spear forest is obvious.

Back at the position of the central army, Zhang Guoxun informed Chen Jin of the details he had seen. From the perspective of the Qing army, the formation of the Ming army stood in the middle of the flat terrain. To the east was the river beach and to the west was the woods. There was not no room for encirclement, but first of all, we had to try to suppress the Ming army, divide it, surround it, and finally eat it completely, so that we could get it done once and for all.

However, the army under his command is about three times more than the Ming army that has crossed the stream. However, it is difficult for the Ming army, which is still on the other side of the stream to achieve effective support.

After a rushing march, Chen Jin was very pleased that his Supervisor Battalion did not fall behind. Although this army has been reorganized this year, it seems that its combat effectiveness has been preserved. It is still the elite green camp troops in the Qing army in Zhejiang. However, even the elite troops need a short rest after the rushing march. This way, they can maintain a good state and launch an attack on the Ming army.

There are about two hours left before the nightfall, and the time is still sufficient, but it cannot be delayed for too long. Especially after the nightfall, the night battle is of no benefit to both sides. And there is another point, once it is dragged to the Ming army to transport the entire army, the advantage of the sky-high attack will no longer exist.

The Ming army's transportation on Lingxi was still underway. The two armies were separated by a large open space, and they were doing the last rest before the war with tacit understanding outside the range of long-range weapons of both sides. About a quarter of an hour later, the Qing army, who was still a little tired, had to stand up and start the whole team under the order of the officer. The Ming army on the opposite side quickly stood up after observing that the Qing army had finished rest and recuperated, and immediately returned to its previous appearance after adjusting its position.

Chen Jin didn’t know how Chen Wen’s army was trained, but as long as this Nantang camp was able to be disabled today, it would not matter how to train.

The war drums were ringing, and the Qing army, who had just completed the entire team, slowly marched towards the Ming army's battle formation under the command of the flag. This time, the Ming army's Folang machine cannon was still on the other side and was inconvenient to transport it. The Qing army that was marching in a hurry was unable to carry slightly heavier artillery, and they also carried light tiger squat cannons to provide long-range fire support for the entire army.

Inspired by the sound of war drums, the left and right camps of the Super Bian, as the vanguard, always walked slowly, without any intention of advancing or stagnation, and marched towards the Ming army's front at a constant speed.

As the commander of Nantang Camp, Li Ruixin did not participate in the battle of Xiaoshun Town last year, but instead intimidated Shaoxing Green Camp in Shaoxing Prefecture. At this moment, he did not have a clear understanding of the actual combat effectiveness of the Super Biao Battalion. However, when he noticed that the Qing army was always trying to maintain a straight line, the Super Biao Battalion's combat effectiveness immediately rose to a higher level in his heart.

Before serving Huang Degong's army, the soldiers he saw were still paying more attention to personal martial arts training. The marching of the queues on the battlefield basically had to be a whole team every once a distance. However, this army was always keeping a straight line. Even if it was just moving slowly, there was no trace of breakage. The training on the queue was definitely not below the criterion battalion, which means that the level of training and the execution of military orders would definitely not be comparable to that of the weak troops like Shaoxing Green Camp.

The first time he led his troops to fight such elite troops, and in such a dilemma, Li Ruixin's palms began to get wet. This was something he had never seen since he had killed the first enemy after Huang Degong, who led the cavalry charge on the battlefield. But both Huang Degong and Chen Wen had said that the more nervous he was as a commander, the more he tried to calm his mind. Only then would he not make any fools.

Then, do something more meaningful

The Qing army was still approaching, and Li Ruixin snatched the tin trumpet of the messenger under the camp and shouted loudly: "You guys, ahead is the DBA that we defeated last year. Now we are indeed fewer than them, but the general once said that the brave ones will win when they meet on a narrow road. When we followed the general to face the DBA, only one-fifth of the Tartars' troops. Is it different? Is it true that we have fellow comrades behind us who are striving to cross the river to help, kill them, go north to meet with the general, and restore Quzhou. Everyone has a share of military achievements."

Li Ruixin was not a verbal debater, but his years of experience in the military allowed him to understand what the soldiers were most eagerly looking forward to.

By changing the concept and using the Extra Balance Battalion as a comparison, the Super Balance Battalion seems to be much stronger. The military merit teaching system formulated by Chen Wen tied the soldiers to the Ming army's chariots. As long as you obtain military merit, you can get the reward of land that can be passed down to future generations. This is much more attractive than the reward of some silver.

Driven by the hope of survival and the generous rewards, the tension of the soldiers in the Ming army suddenly relaxed. The contempt for the enemy and the beautiful desire for military merit rewards prompted them to hold the weapons in their hands and concentrate as much attention as possible on obeying commands and killing the enemy, just like when training in a military camp.

Soon, the Qing army's large group of troops marched to the farthest range of the tiger squat cannon, and there was almost no killing at this distance, so the officers leading the tiger squat cannon gunners only informed Li Ruixin and continued to observe the distance. However, in order to prevent unnecessary casualties, the Ming army chose to take out the large shield hand that had been effective in the battle of Xiaoshun Town to protect the artillery, and the shields in their hands were no longer the standard long cards they used to be.

With the order of the artillery officer, the large shield soldiers responsible for protection struggled to carry a thick door panel wrapped in iron, and stood on both sides of the mouth of the tiger squat cannon to protect the cannon operators.

Just as they stood up the door panel and hid behind with their bodies as support, the Qing army also entered the range of the bow and arrow. After receiving the signal of the flag, the captains of each firearm team immediately ordered the archers under their command to take arrows and aim, just waiting for the exit of the shooting character, a dense rain of arrows cut through the sky above the big shield's hands and flew towards the Qing army's battle formation.

Almost at the same time, the Qing army's archers also pulled their bows and fought back, while the sword and shield soldiers rushed forward immediately and raised their shields to resist the Ming army's archers' shooting.

The Ming army's shooting effect was not good. Under the skillful tactical movements of the Qing sabers and shield soldiers, the arrow rains all over the sky only hit the Qing army, and they were not important. The biggest achievement was to make the Qing army's progress pause. As for the Qing army's counterattack, it was useless in front of the long card players of the door panel and the infantry team, in front of the rattan players.

After the first round of temptation, the Qing army, which maintained the rhythm of attack, continued to advance. At the same time, the second wave of arrow rains also intersected over the battlefield. Then a branch was pierced on the open space and shields between the soldiers. Only a very small number of unlucky guys were dragged behind the formation by their comrades after being shot.

The distance between the two armies became smaller and smaller, but both sides seemed to have the ambition to forget the matter of firing artillery together. But at this moment, as the new round of confrontation between the two sides began, a burst of smoke of gunpowder spread in the Ming army's battle formation.

The wind in the mountains blew towards the Qing army downstream, and the smoke dissipated. What we saw was the Qing army in the front row scattered and wailing down a small piece. They either hugged their thighs or covered their stomachs, and the pain teared their nerves, but the wounds were just small holes, with blood gushing.

While the Ming army was shooting the bow and arrow, they opened fire with muskets when the Qing army entered the effective range. The archers in the front row of the Qing army and the sword and shield soldiers who were escorting them immediately paid much more casualties than simply shooting with bow and arrows under such a firepower coverage.

But even so, the Qing army only stopped and continued to advance for a moment. The archers and swords and shield soldiers in the front row also continued to carry out their respective tasks under the scolding of the officers, and did not dare to stop at all. At this moment, after a simple round of bows and arrows were carried out, a new round of bows and guns and firearms were staged again.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer until the third round of shooting began, and the Qing army was only a few dozen meters away from the Ming army's battle formation. At the same time, the tiger squat cannons in the front row of the Ming army were also ignited for fuses, and the stones and iron sand followed the bows and arrows, and lead bullets were scattered towards the Qing army's battle formation.

Only at this moment, the battle formations in the front row of the Dubiao Left Camp and the Dubiao Right Camp were immediately empty, exposing the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers who were used for hand-to-hand combat behind them. The battle formations in the front row were replaced by corpses lying on the ground, wounded people holding wounds trying to block the blood gushing, and scattered broken limbs and arms.

The smoke blowing to the north blocked the Qing army's battle formation. Only the wounded soldiers' wailing and the reprimanding of the officers were heard. It seemed that the Qing army was shocked by this violent volley and lost the courage to move forward.

However, this is not the case. When the smoke of gunpowder completely brushed past the Qing army's formation, the tiger squat cannons, which were far more numerous than the Ming army, were already standing in front of the formation. While the gunners were in charge of the orders of the artillery officers, they pressed torches on the fire door of the tiger squat cannons.

With his way, he will give to his body to the next level.
Chapter completed!
