If you look down from the sky, from north to south on the battlefield, the fiery red color will slowly squeeze the larger gray-blue hedge westward after a brief stalemate, and only the southernmost piece is still struggling to support it in the torrent. But in fact, every step forward, the gray-blue will take a step back, but every step back, a drop of gray-blue will be completely swallowed up, so that the original fiery red is much larger at the beginning, and it has begun to gradually shrink.

The central army of the Qing army was the Jiangxi Admiral Biao Battalion. The elite Jiangxi Green Camp, which had a total of 4,000 people, had already begun to fall behind in tactical organization due to lack of understanding of the Zhejiang battlefield. Faced with the most elite Nantang Camp under Chen Wen, they could only barely use their troops to maintain their morale through changing formation rotations.

In contrast, the Qing army's right wing near Qujiang and the left wing at the southern end respectively faced equally good opponents.

Although the Dongyang Battalion has only half of the troops in the Ming army facing the right wing, if the infantry teams in the two bureaus were added temporarily, Chen Wen would have almost the same force as the combat barracks. Even if the combat power was a little uneven, the Qing army on the right wing was only a few local green camps that were repeatedly attacked by the Jinhua Ming army and were already scared. It would be quite easy for them to maintain the failure to collapse temporarily.

As for the left-wing Qing army, it is now only relying on the elite Fujian Qing army of Fujian Left General General Biao Battalion to maintain the front. This is the result of the general Wang Zhigang not daring to disobey the order of his immediate superior Chen Jin, and reorganizing the army and relied on the newly added spearmen to form a formation with the Ming army. Otherwise, it would have been like the Jiangxi Admiral Biao Battalion.

The Ming army had just completed the division of land and established a system of military merits and land distribution, and morale was at its most prosperous. Most of the Qing army was a guest army, and had gathered in Quzhou for a long time, and the homesickness had begun to affect the morale of the army. In the hasty battle, even if the troops were obviously superior, it was extremely disadvantaged.

The general trend on the battlefield was already understood by Chen Wen's heart with the exchanges of the messengers, and this was not beyond his expectations. In fact, it was not just him, but Chen Jin, the commander of the Qing army and the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, had expected it, but he did not expect that the combat power of the two sides had become so different.

"It shouldn't have been like this."

Chen Jin sighed secretly. Previously, due to the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in Zhejiang in the first half of the year, even the governor was surrounded in the city. The Qing court decided to give in to the commander of the infantry army, Aljin, to lead a Manchu Eight Banners army to the south to assist in the suppression.

However, with the reversal of the battlefield in Hunan, Li Dingguo forced Kong Youde to kill, and Guangxi was recaptured by the Ming army. The occurrence of this series of events forced the Qing court to change its plan and let the Eight Banners Army of Aljin stay in Jiangxi to prevent the Ming army from entering Jiangxi in the southwest, threatening Zhejiang or the more critical Jiangnan.

"If it weren't for that waste Shen Yongzhong..."

Since Zheng Chenggong captured Zhangzhou last month, the war situation in the southeast began to become increasingly unfavorable to the rise of the Qing army. It was a dream that the Qing army mobile troops in Fujian wanted to repel the Fujian Ming army alone. But if the local green camp was drawn, the victory or defeat was unknown. Zheng Chenggong's navy was the best in the Minhai. Once the Fujian Ming army came to bloom everywhere, the whole province of Fujian would be completely decayed.

Originally, under Chen Jin's repeated requests, the Qing court sent "real Manchu" south to help with the suppression as he wished. However, last month, even half a month earlier than Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Zhangzhou, Shen Yongzhong abandoned Changsha under the Ming army's troops and retreated to Yuezhou. If Aljin was as stalked under the strong city as Jin Li, I am afraid that before Nikan's army could reach Huguang, Jiangxi and Zhejiang would no longer be owned by the Qing Dynasty.

As for Shen Yongzhong himself, his title of Xu Shun Gong was inherited from his uncle Shen Zhixiang. Shen Zhixiang was awarded the title because he was the son of Shen Shikui, the last general of Dongjiang Town. The Qing Dynasty captured Pidao. After Shen Shikui died, he needed to appease the Dongjiang army before he was awarded the title.

"Shen Shikui climbed up by relying on his daughter as Mao Wenlong's concubine. The family with the surname Chen is a bunch of waste!"

Aljin stayed in Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi to prepare for hundreds of thousands of troops. The Southwest Ming army was in the offensive on the battlefields of Sichuan, Huguang and Guangxi, but Zhejiang could not ignore it, so the Qing court sent Jiangxi Admiral Biaoying to help fight.

"But how could a bannerman of the Han army flag be compared with the Manchu Eight Banners with a group of green camp soldiers?!"

Because the war situation in the southwest took a sharp turn and failed to do what Chen Jin wanted. Fortunately, he learned from his mistakes during this period and did not blindly put all his hopes on the reinforcements. The power of the Mandarin Duck Formation was extraordinary, at least it did take advantage of the terrain of Zhejiang. Since this is the case, he used the surrendered general Wang Sheng from Siming Mountain to copy the entire Super Biao Camp according to Chen Wen's organization.

Until today, although he had been training for only two months, he could not compare with the few combat barracks under Chen Wen, but the absolute advantage of military strength gave him the opportunity to use other Qing troops to restrain the Jinhua Ming army's combat barracks, thus gaining the opportunity to reverse the situation by using the Yuanyang formation form of the Supermarket Battalion.

Besides, Chen Jin’s killer move is not the only one!

The Three Thousand Supervisors' Battalions stood up behind Chen Jin's general flag, shouted "tiger" in the sudden heavier sound of war drums and marched towards the Fujian Left General's Battalion at the southern end of the battlefield. However, they did not intend to fill or replace Wang Zhigang's subordinates, but instead used their strength to continue to go south to achieve a side attack on the Yiwu Battalion on the left wing of the Ming army.

"It turned out to be the Mandarin Duck Formation, Chen Jin, you are ruthless!"

The words of cursing were circling in the hollow for a few times and turned into a spit and were spit on the ground by Chen Wen. He still remembered that last year, the Super Biao Battalion used its military strength advantage and the cavalry of the brigade to crush the Yiwu Battalion, which had only the infantry team. Now Chen Jin obviously wanted to use the same trick of the Super Biao Battalion transformed into a Yuanyang formation to reuse it.

No, something is missing!

A cruel sneering smile streaked across the corner of his mouth, and then Chen Wen ordered the town-level battalion as a reserve team and the garrison infantry teams of the two bureaus to move towards the left wing of the Ming army, even he was no exception.

"Mr. An Qian, you came from the armored post of the Lao Nantang Camp. You should still remember Niu Ping'an, the leader of the First Mandarin Duck Formation Killer Team at the beginning of the army."

Niu Ping'an is one of the oldest officers in Nantangying. There is naturally no possibility that An Youfu is at the armored post with him. He was responsible for guarding Wang Jiang last year, but was completely wiped out by Ningbo Green Camp. His opponent was the same mandarin duck formation as the Ming army. Wang Sheng copied the mandarin duck formation trained by Chen Wen.

This was the first time that the Ming army in Jinhua had lost its defeat in history, and it was the only time that it was annihilated by the Qing army in an organization. It also lost the governor Wang Jiang. Although all these soldiers died for the country, they were always regarded as a great humiliation by the Ming army in Jinhua. Hearing this, An Youfu was stunned at first, and then bowed to Chen Wen and replied: "As for the order!"

It’s not that I know, it’s that I obey the order!

Chen Wen looked at the back of Qian An, the former Yongkang County defender who was ordered to command the infantry teams of the two bureaus, and nodded with relief. This task was very heavy, but he had no other way, and could only take a gamble.

At the southernmost end of the battlefield, the Dubiao Battalion, which set out first, quickly circled around the flank of the Fujian Left General Biao Battalion, and before starting to contact, it tried its best to extend to the side and back of the Yiwu Battalion.

Although the commander of the Supervisor Battalion was Zhang Guoxun, the deputy general of the Supervisor Battalion, Wang Sheng had already been promoted from an ordinary garrison in the Central Battalion to the flagship department of the Banner. He was currently responsible for assisting Zhang Guoxun in command of the battle, and his old subordinates also became the last reserve team in Zhang Guoxun's hands.

The Super Biao Battalion trained the Mandarin Duck Formation for only two months, and Wang Sheng was also promoted, but the resistance of officers at all levels always existed. The resistance to the new tactical organization was more of a resistance to him, a new surrender. For this reason, they joined forces to prompt the cancellation of the Huo Bing organization, not only to give him a warning, but in fact, even Chen Jin and Zhang Guoxun did not think that this organization had any meaning.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng had no choice but to remain silent. Although he knew that the mandarin duck formations in Qi Jiguang's time and Chen Wen had fire soldiers, he was not sure why they existed. And most importantly, he was unwilling to offend his colleagues for this.

The opponent also used the Yuanyang formation, which undoubtedly shocked the killer team of the Yuanyang formation in the half-frame on the flank of Yiwu Camp. However, with the officers shouting out loud with contempt and disdain, the teams on the flank immediately began to change their formation, from the mistress formation that was still on the offense just now to the third formation that was conducive to defense. At this time, the reserve team running forward quickly approached the battlefield to prevent the Supervisory Battalion from continuing to extend and surrounding the Yiwu Camp.

The Mandarin duck formation of the Superbiao Camp was trained by Wang Sheng. After frequent battles, it has been converted into a combination of the firearm team and the infantry team.

Without the javelin projection of the sword and shield soldiers, the two armies always used archers and bird gunners to shoot at each other before the collision. Fortunately, as the army continued to extend, the commander of the Yiwu camp, Wu Dengke, took the four sentry infantry teams in his hand and the reloaded cannons. The musketeers threw the flanks to the flanks, and the Ming army did not suffer any losses in the shooting of long-range weapons.

Until it was approaching a certain distance, Yiwu Camp and the Super Biao Camp retreated the long-range shooter back, but exposed two mandarin duck arrays carved out like a mold, and then collided fiercely.

Since both sides were using the Mandarin Duck Formation, the first reaction of the Wolf Pickers was not to suppress and destroy the opponent's formation, but to attack the opponent. Without the harassment of the Wolf Pickers, the spearmen of the two armies came out together, and with the protection of the long poker players and the assistance of the rattan players, they fought the most fierce battle with the opponent.

The two armies fought in the bloodiest way the moment the collision began. The attacking Super Bian Battalion used the Xiaosan Talent Formation, while the Yiwu Battalion, which was defending the one side, used the Da San Talent Formation to resist to reduce casualties on its own.

Just after the collision began, the two bureaus under An Youfu's command also rushed into the battlefield, forcing the Superior Battalion to give up the plan to quickly complete the side attack and instead use the advantage of its troops to engage in a war of attrition with the Ming army.

As an archer behind the formation, Zhang Yida could only harass and kill the Qing army by shooting upwards on such a battlefield. At the same time, the Qing army was also doing the same thing, which made him feel very unbearable. Standing behind the formation, he could clearly see that the support troops he subordinated had been forced to change from the Xiaosan Talent Formation at the beginning of contact to the Junior Talent Formation for defense.

"We have been using the Mandarin Duck Formation and the Mandarin Duck Formation to conduct counterattack training before, and we should be more skilled than the Tartars."

As he said, on this flank battlefield, the Ming army was indeed better at dealing with opponents' offenses and taking advantage of their negligence to launch counter-attacks. However, if you observe carefully, although the Qing army's Yuanyang formation seemed clumsy and slightly inferior in cooperation, it was not without confrontational training. It can even be said that it was a special training for how to fight against the Yuanyang formation. On the battlefield, there was no one-sided situation as Zhang Yida imagined.

Moreover, their troops do have an overwhelming advantage, which is an advantage of 3,000 to 800!

The Ming army's left-wing battlefield was only 3,000, while the Qing army had reached an astonishing eight,000. Although the absolute advantage of military strength could not be fully utilized, they quickly stabilized their front line and even began to slowly squeeze the space of the Ming army through wheel battles, oppressing the left-wing Ming army eastward.

If you look down from the sky, on the battlefield at this moment, the fiery red and gray blue have already begun to rotate slowly like a pointer at the connection point between Nantang Camp and Yiwu Camp, and the momentum of victory or defeat is no longer as obvious as before.

"kill!"

The shouts of fighting and the wailing sounds were connected, and it was difficult to distinguish them any longer. Chen Lan, who had already drawn his sword, watched with his own eyes as a captain helped the spearmen in the team to remove the attack of a spearmen in the Qing army, immediately fell into the attack of a spearmen in the Qing army and a spearmen in the Qing army.

"There are endless dogs and tatars!"

Since the collision with the Qing army began, although the Qing army on the opposite side was far inferior to theirs because of their cooperation, they could immediately change into a vertical formation after every loss of one or two soldiers, and replaced the intact team behind them to continue the attack. And they were always on this line and could not rotate at all. It was not that they did not have a chance, but that they could not get the rotational force at all.

As the commander of the sentry, none of the four infantry teams in Chen Lan's hands were intact. The fewest casualties were a spearman and a long poker player, while the most were three spearman and a rattan player who had fallen on the battlefield forever. For this reason, he had to order the fire soldiers of each team to supplement it, and even ordered the musketeers who had almost never touched the spear to pick up the spear to supplement the battle formation.

"Mr. An Qian, brothers are almost unable to hold on. Please help the Grandmaster."

"Captain Chen, now the lines are tight, so there is no need to think about reinforcements. I have only one order, that is, to defend this front for me. If the killer team is dead, the firearms team will be made up; if the firearms team is dead, the captain will be made up; if the captains are dead, the few you sentry leaders will be made up for me; if you are dead, I will make up for it myself!"

General Qian was sent by the old camp and garrison in the Ming army of Jinhua, and the chief of the sentry was the official position of the infantry team. Although An Youfu was General Qian, he was originally the deputy commander of the guards when he was in Yongkang County, and although Chen Lan was not the chief of the war corps, the scale of the garrison in Dongyang County was very large, and his sentry commander was worthy of his name.

However, the level of the army determines everything. Although An Youfu's title of Qian Zong is not high, he has the right to command these two bureaus. Chen Lan gritted his teeth and had to retreat and continue to command the battle.

"The Grand Marshal also has a direct camp in his hands. This is not for no reason. The Tartars must have a killer weapon that has not been taken out, so I must persist and buy time for the Grand Marshal!"

As time goes by, the rotation between fiery red and gray-blue becomes larger and larger. Although the gray-blue squeezes the lower half of the pointer, the fiery red begins to break off the link at the upper half of the pointer, squeezing the central and right wings of the Qing army more and more. The collapse of gray-blue in the upper half may be in the next second.

"It's still not possible."

Chen Jin gritted his teeth and issued the next order. With his order, the nearly 1,000 cavalry guarding him began to run south. The order they received was to bypass the infantry teams of the two bureaus of the Dubiao camp and the Ming army as reinforcements, and to attack Chen Wen's general flag.
