After the Ming army approached fifty steps, the infantry launched a charge. Before that, the cavalry of the three battalions of Nantang, Shentang and Guards had already been dispatched and fought with the Qing army's harassed the flanks.

There were quite a few cavalry sent by the Qing army to harass the flanks, which was their biggest advantage. It was only because of the geographical environment here that they could not play a greater role. However, they were still holding the harassment with cavalry and shooting.

The cavalry of the brigade ran around fifty or sixty steps away from the long spear forest on the flank of the Ming army, twisting their waists and firing hard. Even though the bumps and high-speed movement of the horses greatly reduced their accuracy, a large number of arrows still swept towards the armourless soldiers of the Ming army, and the Ming army had to turn the flank teams to face the Qing army, and the long and rattan players to defend.

Before the Ming cavalry was dispatched, only the infantry archers and musketeers could counterattack the cavalry, but the high-speed movement often caused their shooting to become empty and the pressure could not be reduced. It was not until the Ming cavalry was dispatched and the attention of most of the harassing Qing cavalry that they finally turned the generals against the trend.

However, in every confrontation, although the cavalry of the Ming army has undergone rigorous training and its tactics are very different from that of the Qing army, the gap between experience and quantity still causes them to decrease in number. Almost every confrontation, more or less Ming army cavalry will be dropped. Although the Qing army is not comfortable, the number advantage is too huge and it will be more consumed than the cavalry of the Ming army.

At the same time, the infantry of the Ming and Qing armies were close at hand, and the distance between the gun mouth of the bird gun and the long card player of the Ming army was only a few steps away, which was breathable. In fact, let alone this distance, even the thirty-step bird gun could still break the armor, let alone the infantry on both sides was not wearing armor at this moment.

With the issuance of military orders, the Qing army's bird gunners replaced the second row of sword and shield soldiers used to supplement the first row. After the various Niulu Zhangjing assigned orders, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row squatted down after trying their best to get rid of the Ming army's spear attack.

The roar of the bird gun sounded. Shi Daniu realized the next tactic when he saw the Qing army replaced the bird gun gunner. It had nothing to do with intelligence or not. He had to go to every battle since the battle behind Simingshan Palace. There was still experience and reaction. Not only him, but many soldiers from the camp who were everywhere in the three veterans subconsciously moved closer to the long card player. Even if he didn't react, his body would not consciously adjust when he heard the captain's shouting.

However, the Qing army's movements were really slow, and the lead bullets shot from the bird gun arrived instantly. Many soldiers had not had time to retract and returned to the vertical formation and had already hit the ground in the smoke of gunpowder. Some of them were directly shot into the front and died on the spot. Many soldiers in the front of the Yuanyang Formation Killer Team and the Spear Formation Killer Team were shot by the Qing army, either injured or shot to the vital point on the spot. The Ming army's offensive was instigated.

Relying on his richer experience, Shi Daniu squatted down as fast as possible, blocked his long card in front of him, covering his torso behind. But even so, a lead bullet shot through the long card holding the iron sheet in his hand, leaving a clear gap on his arm.

After enduring the pain, Shi Daniu saw that it was just a skin injury and quickly glanced around. The casualties of the teams on both sides were very different. Some had already wailed down, while others were only slightly or severely injured.

The Ming army had already adapted to the tactics of the Qing army, but the one who had recently figured out the battle against the Ming army had never seen it, and it really caught the Ming army off guard. However, when the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, what appeared before him and other Ming soldiers was a more amazing scene.

Since the spearmen of the Qing army were completely decorated and could only stay behind the formation and were at a loss, the sword and shield soldiers were completely in a dilemma of being suppressed by the Ming army. The central army and the right-wing Qing army were transferred from Beijing for only more than a month, and they were not familiar with this tactic. Moreover, everyone was willing to protect themselves. The dense and crazy sprints in front of the Ming army were still too busy to deal with, and the officers' orders were often slowed down by them.

On weekdays, it would be slower. After all, the Qing army relied strongly on personal martial arts, but this time it was completely different. Once the order was issued, the bird gunners had no habit of aiming, and they pulled the bolts like conditioned reflexes to shoot. Many sword and shield soldiers were slapped by their own firearms, and red and white were spread all over the ground, which scared the infantrymen of the Ming and Qing armies who were fighting in full swing.

For a time, only the Eight Banners of Hangzhou garrisoned on the left wing had been trained for a few months before. After receiving the order, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row immediately squatted down regardless of the Ming army's attack to prevent accidental injuries, but the Ming army took advantage of the situation to complete a wave of harvest.

The casualties of each team were different. Since I had never seen the tactics, the responses of the officers at the grassroots were also different. Even the reactions of the sentry chiefs, bureau chiefs or battalions were very different. Some teams were still asking fire soldiers or musketeers to fill the formation, some had already begun to switch with the infantry teams behind, and some had just used teeth to fight for blood to fight blood, and they had transferred the firearm team up. When they faced the Qing army company in front of them, they just shot a volley.

The Shentang Camp where Zhang Yida was located was on the left wing of the Ming army, facing the right wing of the Qing army. Just now, the Qing army's shooting caused the killer team in the front row to fall down four people in one breath. Two were slightly injured, one seriously injured, and the other was directly killed by the Qing army. The captain of the infantry team they were in was a famous guy who protected the baby. Seeing so many casualties, he immediately transferred the firearm team and shot closer to the Qing army opposite.

The infantry attacks have to advance and assassinate. The musketeers in the firearm team have already been loaded, and the archer even picked up a bow and arrow and shot at the Qing army's face. However, in this round, more than half of the bird gunners in front of them fell down, and even the sword and shield soldiers who had not yet stood up were affected by the fish.

Just a moment later, the command of the battalion officer had been issued, the war drums sounded again, and the three battalions tilted forward in unison. This was the order to launch an attack on the whole line, and naturally the task of charging was not the turn of musketeers.

Being in the formation, Chen Wen clearly saw the Qing army's new tactics, and was indeed shocked. However, at this time of battle, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the physical strength of the Ming army, which was originally more tired than the Qing army, would definitely drop faster. At this time, the Ming army, which was already in a state of spiritual transcendence, once the offensive was blocked and the morale began to decline in heat, the collapse would explode in an instant and would inevitably be unstoppable.

The attack must be maintained and the battle ended as soon as possible, and the horn of the general attack was sounded. The three military barracks of the Ming army could no longer care whether the formation of the front row was complete. With the overwhelming length of the spear, the general attack was immediately launched. Even the more than 200 cavalry transferred from Jinhua Prefecture City shouted and rushed towards the right wing of the Ming army.

"Kill Liu Zhiyuan!"

The shouts were shaking the earth. On the front battlefield, the three battalions of the Ming army rushed towards the Qing army almost regardless of casualties. They used the advantages of formation and weapons to immediately retreat. Even the cavalry took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. The Qing army was only between this line of collapse.

From the beginning of the battle, this Ming army, which was full of strangeness, always suppressed them. They originally thought that they could rely on the experience and ability to fight to persevere until the Ming army collapsed, but who would have thought that the Qing army was on the verge of collapse, rather than the Ming army that came from afar.

Shi Tingzhu was unwilling to believe everything in front of him, because his subordinates, these Niulu were filled with veterans who had been in the army for more than ten years, and were all treasures in the army. However, facing the Ming army, which had only been in the army for more than two years, was always hung up and beaten, and there was no hope of defeating it with strength.

The general attack of the Ming army suddenly rose. Even after he had high hopes for shooting, the Qing army's infantry had no chance of reversing the situation on their own. Fortunately, there was still a cavalry left in his hand. The cavalry from the Eight Banners stationed in Hangzhou were waiting for him and Liu Zhiyuan's general order. Although the terrain was limited, he believed that this cavalry would be able to reverse the situation again. Even if it was just to slow down the Ming army's offensive, it would be enough for his army to withdraw from the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Shi Tingzhu nodded to Liu Zhiyuan. The latter stepped onto the war horse without hesitation and led nearly a thousand iron cavalry unstoppable to the left wing of the Qing army, the area where the two armies were fighting.

However, after a moment, Shi Tingzhu had just retracted his sight toward the cavalry. Amid the screams of the generals around him, he could see the direction of Jinhua Fucheng at a glance. The rolling smoke and dust wrapped in a flag-like ocean was coming towards him. And he clearly remembered that in Jinhua Fucheng, the Ming army had also had a camp head named Pujiang, and the stationed area was passing through Jinhua Fucheng.

"The situation is over!"
