After slaughtering Yongfeng County, Liu Guangbi quickly led the army to join the main force of the Qing army. As early as the morning of the day when he received the order to siege, the 30,000 troops of Biaowu Town and Jiujiang Town Biao left Guangxin Prefecture City and marched towards Yushan County with great strides. The city and the castle only left the Guangxin Prefecture Green Camp, which was still the old-style tactics and organization. However, Bu Shilong, the general of the Guangxin Prefecture Green Camp, was also a general transferred from the north, and Hong Chengchou was quite trustworthy of his abilities.

Thirty thousand war soldiers, plus slightly more auxiliary soldiers, took two days to finally approach the south bank of Yulang Creek. Even if they had not carried a large number of auxiliary soldiers, the generals of Jingbiao would be very confident that they could arrive here at a faster speed. On the third day, the Qing army began to cross the stream, and the first branch was Jingbiaoqian Town.

Bai Guangen, the governor of Jingbiaoqian Town, was initially a general of the bandit Huntianhou. After surrendering to Ming Dynasty, he was promoted repeatedly by suppressing the bandits. During the Battle of Songshan, he was already the general officer. After Jiashen, Bai Guangen first surrendered to Shun and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Before Hong Chengchou asked the Qing court for him, he was an official under the banner.

The vanguard of ancient times opened roads when he met mountains and built bridges when he met water. Bai Guangen was a long-time general. His mission was to break through Yulang Creek, explore the situation near Yushan County, build a floating bridge for the basis of the subsequent troops, and resist the counterattack of the Ming army.

Yulangxi is only a few miles away from Yushan County. Bai Guangen's troops were not in danger of crossing Yulangxi, but when they crossed, they began to build more pontoon bridges so that the subsequent army could follow up at a faster speed, the Ming army appeared unexpectedly.

In half a year, Hong Chengchou, the Ming army stationed in Yushan County, had already figured out the banners. There were two battalions dispatched here, namely Yiwu and Yushan, led by Li Ruixin and Zhang Zisheng, respectively, and arranged along Jinsha River and backed by Bingxi Town. Among them, Yushan Camp is located on the bank of Jinsha River, while Yiwu Camp is in the north, in order to make Li Ruixin more convenient for command of the half of the cavalry battalion.

The head of the Ming army was twice that of the Qing army. Bai Guangen dared not be entrusted, so he had to send four battalions in front, back, left and right to fight, while his central camp was used as a reserve team to prevent accidents.

In this way, the vanguard of the Qing army and the Ming army's troops who left the city to test, quickly approached a mile away. After reorganizing the queue, the Ming army took the lead in launching an attack.

The Ming army in the brigade slowly moved forward, and the gunners and loaders pushed the artillery carriages to follow the queue. Only after less than three hundred meters were left, the Qing army's artillery began to fire at the Ming army scattered and sporadic.

Jingbiaoqian Town had just crossed Yulang Creek, and most of the artillery and cavalry in its territory were still on the other side. The cavalry could find suitable places to wader, but the artillery was not good at all. The number of artillery in the Qing army was relatively small, which was the result of the deduction of the staff of the three battalions on the Yushan Front. Therefore, the Ming army was not in a hurry to enter hand-to-hand combat, but stopped the queue after entering the range of its own artillery.

The Qing army's artillery was still resetting, clearing the slag, loading, and aiming to facilitate re-launching. However, the Ming army was not in a hurry. The artillery crossed the infantry's queue and, as they were trained on weekdays, pulled open the cloth bag, poured the gunpowder directly into it, and then loaded the shells. The gunman took a telescope and other tools to measure the distance of the Qing army's troops, and then issued a series of orders to adjust the muzzle to the gunman. For a time, the loading and aiming speed was much faster than that of the Qing army.

"fire!"

The Ming army's artillery was already standardized, and the size of the mud mold must be manufactured according to regulations. Although the produced artillery still has certain differences in size, weight, shell size, charge amount, range, power, etc., the overall uniform specifications still make these artillery not have much difference in range.

The shells roared past and rushed into the Qing army's formation. Because the Qing army turned to the Spanish phalanx, the formation was much denser than before. Almost every artillery of the Ming army would take away the lives of several Qing troops. It was basically impossible for the previous luck to smash into the soil between the two Qing troops, and it was just a matter of splashing a few people around them on a plaster.

Being hit by a shell would either kill him on the spot or break his bones. For those Qing soldiers who looked at the chariot around them, it was a psychological torment. The fear brought by them could easily overwhelm the new recruits and make them lose their minds.

In fact, from the beginning, when the Ming army stopped within range, Bai Guangen realized something was wrong. However, it had been a few years since he had not led troops to fight. When he noticed that the Ming army had more artillery than his, the first loading had been completed.

"Beat the drum and the whole army advances."

Bai Guangen didn't have this idea than who persisted longer under the bombardment of artillery, but the movement speed of this square formation was really not fast. When they started moving, the Ming army's bombardment had already begun.

I looked at the queue in front with a splash of plaster, and a few vertical spears like a forest were missing in an instant. After the first round of shooting, almost all the Ming army's artillery shells entered the Qing army's ranks, but the Qing army's artillery shells could only hit the front of the Ming army's artillery positions at most. Many of them often could not even Saturn's spells touch the Ming army's artillery positions.

In similar situations, almost every shelling will appear in different positions, but according to training, subsequent spearmen will be quickly filled up to make the formation complete again.

“The Tartars walked slowly enough.”

Holding a telescope, Zhang Zisheng looked from afar. The Qing army was moving in a formation at a speed that was slower than the green camp soldiers he had met in Jiangxi. But when he thought about it carefully, the pace of people was different when they were waving weapons. Originally, for the purpose of waving weapons, there was a certain amount of space between the soldiers. If the distance was large, the size of the steps was not too important. However, with such a dense formation, if the steps were large, it would step on the people in front, and if the steps were small, it would be stepped on by the people behind. If there was a little chaotic overall formation, it would be affected. Instead, it would be better to walk slowly and smoothly.

The Qing army advanced slowly, but it was like mountains moving. Although the Ming army artillery used fixed charge packs and granulated gunpowder and aiming equipment, it was far better than the Qing army in terms of range and shooting speed, even so, it often only caused a little ripples and disappeared.

With current technology, artillery alone is not enough to defeat a regular army like the Qing army. This was learned in the martial arts school, and Zhang Zisheng naturally did not place his hopes on it.

The Qing army in the brigade was getting closer and closer. Seeing that the Qing army entered the range of the Lumi gun, with a command, the firearms team in the front row of the Ming army began to shoot.

With the crackling sound, the Qing army fell to the ground in a flash. However, just like before, the spearmen in the back row would immediately be filled after being injured in the front row to ensure the integrity of the formation.

In the front row of the Qing army, there was a drummer who beat the small drum every time a distance. They were completely indifferent to the casualties around them, and they just beat the drums according to the orders. At this moment, the front row of the Qing army was full of spearmen. Zhang Zisheng could clearly see that the length of the Qing army's spear was almost exactly the same as that of the Ming army, and this dense formation was just like the long spear formation of the Ming army.

After the next shooting, the Ming army gunners and firearms teams retreated to the back of the formation, and the long spear formation killer teams with cold weapons and the Yuanyang formation killer teams stepped forward one after another.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. The Ming army originally held up signs with long cards as usual to defend against the attacks of Qing army projectile weapons. However, when the distance between them was shortened to about twenty meters, the Qing army still took slow steps, which really surprised the Ming army.

The Qing army's tactics changed, and the Ming army had already predicted the meticulous information based on the fine information, but who would have thought that the changes would be so huge that they completely abandoned the tactical dogmas of the late Ming army.

Soon, the Qing army's battle formation was only about ten meters away from the Ming army, and the Ming army's archers were shot in the sky, but the Qing army was still beaten until now and did not make a slight counterattack. At the next moment, the war drums behind the formation sounded, and the spearmen in the front row of the Qing army straightened the spear with the same technique as the Ming army's spear formation on the opposite side.

The spear approached little by little, and soon, the spear head reached the initial contact with the officers on both sides and the heavy breathing of the soldiers.

Contact is not the purpose. There is only one way to attack a weapon like a spear, that is, sting!

The spear head gradually passed over each other, and the soldiers on both sides advanced slowly and slowly. The next second, with a loud shout, the spearmen of the two armies stabbed out at the opponent's vital points almost at the same time.

"kill!"

The spears on both sides are of the same length, and there is no difference in the posture of holding the spear. When the spear stabs at the opponent, the soldiers pointed directly at the opposite spear may not even have the chance to stab the opponent to death.

In a blink of an eye, the soldiers in the first row of the Qing army were almost wiped out. On the Ming army, the long poker players in the front row were only trying hard to protect themselves and the super spearmen behind them. However, those who were not protected by the long poker players were often stabbed by the Qing army opposite while stabbing out.

As the shouts were heard, while the spearmen in the first row were exhausted, and as they followed the replacement, the bird gunmen who had not yet had the chance to fire the gun, held their waist knives and daggers, and rushed towards the Ming army at the moment of the next stabbing of the soldiers on both sides.

Both sides have spears, the same length, so they often choose their targets on the more threatening opponent's spearmen. Under the net woven by those spears, the short soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to attack the thorn and rushed over like a mouse.

In this way, the already small number of long-drawn players immediately became the focus of siege, because they were more threatening to the Qing army's short-lived bird gunners, and the only ones that could support them were the spears that emerged from the gaps in the crowd in the back row.

However, compared to the embarrassment of the spear formation, the mandarin duck formation completely turned over.

It is not the Mandarin duck formation that can better deal with the Spanish square formation of the Qing army. With a distance of several meters, only two wolf sirs can compete with the Qing army's spear in length. However, because the use of wolf sirs is not the only way to stab, the wolf sir hands cannot hold the tail tightly like a spear in the posture of holding the army to maximize the advantage of length.

As a result, the Ming army's Mandarin Duck Formation was immediately at a disadvantage. They simply rely on the wolf wielding hands to continuously wave the wolf wielding hands to protect other soldiers. However, the spearmen holding seven or eight-foot spears, the original main attackers of the Mandarin Duck Formation, did not even have the chance to come forward.

However, the characteristics of the Mandarin Duck Formation are undoubtedly shown here. When facing the spearmen, the spears, long cards, rattan cards and other weapons cooperated with each other, and it was a complete massacre. Even when facing the Ming army's Mandarin Duck Formation, the bird gunners had completely lost the courage to fight the rats.

……………………

The afternoon battle lasted for quite some time. The Qing army, who trained the Spanish phalanx, was generally advantageous, but its ability to endure casualties could not be improved by just one battle formation.

The almost pure war of attrition was stimulating each other's nerves at all times until the moment it was completely crushed.

Bai Guangen, who was old in military affairs, felt that the spearmen in the front row began to lose their courage to attack, decisively gave up the attack and turned to the defensive. The Ming army, which had not achieved the mission of defeating the battle, did not dare to launch a counterattack. Not only did the more Qing army have begun to cross Yulangxi, but there was a danger of being annihilated by the Qing army with superior forces for a moment. Even Li Ruixin and Zhang Zisheng themselves did not have the confidence to completely defeat them. When they returned to the city, Li Ruixin took advantage of the Qing army's siege that the Qing army had not yet siege the city, and hurriedly sent a messenger to Chen Wen.

After nightfall, thousands of cavalry had already begun to cruise outside the city to ensure that the Ming army could not evacuate at night. However, in the camp on the south bank of Yulang Creek, the Qing army was celebrating this rare victory.

"Admiral Bai, did a good job."

Hong Chengchou praised him, and the generals also cheered Bai Guangen and his generals.

Since Chen Wen's first battle in the southern part of Siming Mountain in the fourth year of Yongli, the Qing army against him was defeated almost every battle. Only Wang Sheng lucky enough to annihilate a small army with several times the advantage, and Ma Xin's raid saved the green camps in the four southeastern provinces from the ridicule of "defeating every literature".

Although this battle was tied, the Ming army, which had obviously better ability to endure casualties, did not gain any advantage. The casualties of both sides were almost the same.

However, the draw on the local battlefield was generally a victory for the Qing army. Because Hong Chengchou had six troops like Jingbiaoqian Town, and Chen Wen had only fourteen camps like Yushan Camp and Yiwu Camp, among which not only half of them had to assist in the defense of various prefectures, but Yushan, Yiwu and the Guards were surrounded in Yushan County.

The strategic initiative on local battlefields changed hands. If Chen Wen came to rescue him, he would have to fight with less. If he did not come to rescue him, the army would be besieged and eat Yushan County and go to Zhejiang. Chen Wen still wanted to fight with less.

No matter how you look at it, Shengli was already waving to the Qing army. Hong Chengchou, who had been suppressing for more than a year, couldn't help but feel very happy.
