The Qing army's shield formation was re-formed, and the bird gunners of the Han army flag were already bombarded by Yue Le on both sides by Yue Le. The Manchu real barbarians were few and could not withstand such consumption with the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Moreover, with such exchange ratios, if there were a few more rounds, the casualties of the Ming army would increase, but the Qing army would have collapsed long ago.

However, for a moment, he had no good idea. This time he went to the battle, he had to rely on the Eight Mongolian Banners to try to break the Ming army's battle formation. However, the Ming army relied on Qiaosi Town to arrange the array, and with a fulcrum, the attack surface of the Qing army's cavalry would become smaller, and invisibly suppress the cavalry's maneuverable strike ability.

Since this is the case, we can only wait for the opponent to make a mistake. However, Yue Le had not yet waited for this scene to appear, but the Ming army's offensive became more and more fierce.

"Zhengwu, abandon the gun and draw the knife!"

Once the order was issued, the veterans who used the turtledove-legged guns in the Ming army battle formation threw the guns to the ground, drew their swords, and cooperated with the musket bracket on their left hand to squat down and drilled into the jungle of spears.

The mouse battle under the long spear forest was specially trained before. When they entered the long spear formation, they immediately made it easier for the long players who were pressing the formation to squat and walk towards the Qing army's battle formation together.

A few meters away, the Qing army focused on how to block the spear stab, but a group of people suddenly rushed out of the spear forest, and half-squatted over and showed their intentions. Without their expectations, these veterans, led by the sergeant masters who could be the leader, once approached the Qing army, without saying a word, they would slash over the Qing army's thigh.

The sword and shield soldiers entered the shield formation, and the left and right were Qing soldiers, but the upper body was the Ming army's spear sting, and the lower body was the Ming army's sword slashing. They had only one shield and they had to lose sight of one thing.

In an instant, screams came one after another, the shield formation suddenly lost its effectiveness, and the speed of disintegration suddenly increased. The Qing army in the back row quickly failed to catch up with the loss.

For a moment, Niu Luezhen and the Duandashiku in front of the Qing army each made a surprise plan. Some asked the sword and shield soldiers in the back row to squat down to fight the Ming army in rat battle, while others simply commanded the spear soldiers behind the shield formation to assassinate from the gap. However, the shield formation is not as good as the gun formation. The soldiers of the gun formation can attack sideways. The soldiers of the shield formation hold one soldier in their hands and need to be ready to use the waist knife in their hands to kill the enemy. They can only face the enemy head-on, and want to get through here or assassinate from the gap. The difficulty and limitations will become great.

The Qing sabers and shield soldiers who came over sporadically did become an obstacle to the Ming army's rat war with their martial arts. In cooperation with the assassination of those spears, the embarrassment of being attacked together was quickly alleviated. However, the gap between the exchange ratio between the two sides was further widened, and if this continued, Yue Le could only suffer a crushing defeat.

"Tell the slave of Ibai that I have no time to wait for him to confirm whether it is a trap. As long as the barbarian Chen Wen's flag is there, it will be enough. Even if it is a pile of lives, it must be brought down for me!" The angry Yue Le suppressed his voice and shouted at the messenger sent by Ibai. When the messenger was so scared that he crawled away, he continued to issue orders to the Qing army's infantry.

"Tell me the order and tell the servants of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Han that if you hold on, Ibai's cavalry will soon be able to defeat the enemy."

The orders will be conveyed. The noble king, Nurhaci's grandson, Shunzhi's cousin, and the master with such a high status have a great appeal in the Eight Banners Army. The morale will be stable for the time being, but if you can't break the formation, you will be consumed by the Ming army. Not to mention the Eight Banners Army, which has already had a lot of money for many years, even the barbarians in the old forest in Liaodong will collapse sooner or later.

The order here was issued, and Ibai soon received Yue Le's Pegasus order.

"The prince has already given the order, and it is impossible not to take this trap."

Ibai is Gushan Ezhen and the Minister of Political Affairs, but Yue Le is the master of the Aisin Gioro family. In front of the master, he is just a higher-level slave. Even if he has different opinions, he will never dare to disobey.

Seeing this, Ibai had to lead the two thousand cavalry of his headquarters and the cavalry that had previously attacked the Ming army's formation on the front battlefield rushed towards the established target. As for the cavalry on both wings, they still could not move because they had to continue to restrain the flanks of the Ming army there to prevent the infantry of the Ming army from advancing in formation and encircle the Qing army's infantry on both wings.

The cavalry of the brigade roared around the Ming army's defense line, and did not stop until the north of Qiaosi Town and the north of the Ming army.

At the beginning of the war, Ibai quickly realized the disadvantages of the Ming army relying on Qiaosi Town's defense based on the return of the horse. The two battalions were in the south, as the main force, the two battalions were located in the southeast and southwest respectively to cover the flanks, while the general of the Jinhua Division, Yin Yue, led the mixed troops as the preparations for these four battalions.

With such defense, Qiao Si Town became an empty city, but Chen Wen placed the flag there. This was Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, and it was a fatal trap with an attractive fragrance. Ibai originally planned to see it before doing it, but now Yue Le's place is in danger, forcing him to take the risk to explore.

The losses at the beginning of the war were quite large. More than a thousand cavalry were already the last mobile force in his hands. Looking at this small town in the water town of Jiangnan, Ibai knew that the battlefield could not afford to delay every minute and second, so he immediately had to take the cavalry into it.

"Master, let the slave take people to Tantan."

A Melezhangjing from this banner's suffrage, but unfortunately, it cannot change Ibai's will. "Prince An is still struggling to hold on. Those who are slaves have to share their worries for their masters. Children, follow me and kill Chen Wen!"

The cavalry of the brigade rose up to each other, leaving only hundreds of cavalry just in case. Ibai led the cavalry into the north gate of Qiaosi Town, but he didn't rush in, but had to turn and walk slowly.

On the streets of the town, wheelbarrows, big carts and sedans were abandoned on the road in a mess. Not only these, but also empty boxes, stalls of vendors on the street, and even some fine and porcelain fragments, all of which were everywhere, like a building that had just been looted.

"It seems like there was an episode yesterday."

Many of these things look like they were abandoned by the people who went to the market, and those people had been expelled by the Ming army, otherwise it would not have been like this. However, Chen Wen is not an ordinary person, and if it is not done well, there may be some danger.

"You, you, you two, you two bring people to clear these things to the side of the road. You, you, you two, you are with your troops to search for me."

Time is tight, and Ibai dares not stay too much, so he has to search while searching while leading the main force to the direction of the building with Chen Wenjiang Banner.

Qiaosi Town was once trapped in the tide during the Yongle period of Qiaosi Town, but now it is a large town with a scale of more than a thousand people, and the scale is very large. Yibai led the Qing army to stroll through it, but no one of the people saw it. The more this happened, the more he felt panic. God knew what monsters and monsters were hidden here.

Soon, Ibai, who was anxious, led his team to the center of the Cross Street. He could attack the main position of the Ming army to the south. He could even see Yin Yue's general flag, and to the east and west, he could cooperate with the Qing army on both sides to encircle the left and right wings of the Ming army. Of course, the most important thing was that the building where Chen Wen's general flag was located was not far away, only a few dozen steps, but there was no one on the street, even a cat or a dog.

"There's no time, attack!"

At the command of Yibai, Chen Wen shook his flag suddenly a few times. Immediately afterwards, the two-story buildings in the town opened the windows, and muskets stretched out, pointing to the Qing cavalry that had already extended like a long snake.

The yards in the town are sold from the inside, and the shops facing the streets are locked. The time is too short. The north side where the Qing army focused on searching has been further modified, so the Ming army can enter the courtyard faster.

At the same time, in the nearby alley, a group of mandarin duck arrays walked out of the courtyard where the sight was blocked, and a large group of mandarin duck arrays rushed directly to the north gate of the town.

The two battle formations of the two camps of the guards and Shentang battalions that did not appear on the battlefield were both ambushed in the town. Ibai had doubts before, but the situation did not allow him to delay even a second. In this way, the Qing army of thousands of cavalry was surrounded in the town, facing the four hundred mandarin duck formations and four hundred musketeers. They lost their mobile space and immediately became turtles in the jar.

"Master, I've been trapped, hurry up and rush out."

It seemed like the whistle of the start of the competition. When a musket fired at the Qing army's cavalry, the other muskets poured bullets onto these clearly home-prone targets. The Qing army was immediately filled with people.

The Qing army in the town was in chaos, and they wanted to escape and fight back on the spot. However, in this small town in the Jiangnan water town, the roads were narrow, and even though the debris on the road had been cleared to the side of the road, it was even more difficult for the war horses to turn around in chaos.

"I can't run away. The man named Chen designed the game, so it's not so easy for us to escape."

Turning over and dismounting the horse, using war horses as cover, Yibai and the Qing cavalry began to fight back with their cavalry bows. However, the Ming army was condescending and attacking them on both sides, and it was just delaying time.

"For the sake of this, you take people to set fire, and I will go and catch Chen Wen's flag!"

Setting fire can slow down the siege of the Ming army and create chaos at the same time. As long as the water can be smuggled, it is still possible to escape. Moreover, the fire in the town will have a significant impact on the mentality of the Ming and Qing armies on the main battlefield. Ibai never even thought about the general flag that attacked Chen Wen and killed Chen Wen in one fell swoop, but as long as the general flag was cut off, it would be of great benefit to the overall situation or their cavalry.

"Master, let the slave go and rush."

"No, you can't do it!"

The location of the flag must be a key defense area, and the danger will naturally be greater. Although the Qing army is now crowded, it is extremely panicked. Compared with the Melezhangjing and the Gushan Ezhen Minister of Political Consultative Affairs, there is a lot of difference in appeal.

Ibai shouted, and with the Goshhad beside him, a group of Mongolian Eight Banners stood up and rushed to Chen Wen's banner.

The horse was too conspicuous and they had to walk forward. They were only able to keep shooting around, but only dozens of steps, but it seemed like ice cubes under the scorching sun, and their lives continued to evaporate in this short distance.

When I rushed to the yard, Ibai pushed hard, but the door was not moved at all. According to the feeling, it was obvious that the door bolt was inserted.

"Collide!"

The shooting continued. If Ibai had not led the way, the Eight Banners Army would have dispersed long ago. Hearing this, a large-sleeved and round-waisted Mongolian man helped out with two steps and hit the gate.

The reaction force bombed the Mongolian man, but Ibai and the others did not give up and continued to hit the door. This time, the sound of the door bolt slightly breaking came. Although fewer and fewer people were around, the Qing army, who had already red eyes, was extremely excited and collided with excitement to the door again.

The door opened with a bang, and the man who bumped the door tripped to the ground by the threshold. After breaking open the thick door, it would be very simple next. Moreover, with a courtyard as a cover, you no longer have to withstand the shooting outside, so how can you be unhappy?

However, before he could get up, he clearly felt that the Qing army rushing in from around him had basically stopped without taking two steps. When he wanted to get up, he looked up and saw that the two rows of flintlocked rifles under him stood up in the front row, and the muzzles were all aimed at them...

Chen Wen could see clearly through the windows of the second floor. In the narrow terrain, the flintlock spearmen in densely positioned easily shot the team of Eight Banners warriors. Next, a team of guards came out, and the high-ranking Qing officials who had not had time to enter the door were chopped off.

Chen Wen didn't know that there was a minister of state in Gushan's affairs, and even if he knew, he would not have much interest. Compared with Yue Le, I'm abbot or abbot, even abbot can't be considered a nonsense.

From the eve of the war, the Staff Office had made complete plans.

Relying on Qiaosi Town's array, it was specially tailored for this Eight Banners Army. The overall defense seems to waste a lot of troops on the left and right wings. However, such defense not only reduces the attack range of the Qing cavalry, but more importantly, Chen Wen plans to bleed the Qing cavalry again, so that these guys can make trouble when he attacks the city, or flee back to Nanjing to cause trouble for Zheng Chenggong. Moreover, the cross streets of the town can also effectively mobilize soldiers, and the Qing army's cavalry advantage was restricted.

At this moment, the fierce battle in the town was still one-sided, and the Qing army's cavalry was really difficult to perform in such a small town in the Jiangnan water town. The Qing army outside wanted to rush in to rescue, but it was impossible in front of the Ming army who was ready to fight. As for setting fires, Chen Wen didn't need to worry about these things, and the officers knew how to deal with them.

After retracting his gaze, Chen Wen turned his attention to the front battlefield again. The continuous losses of the Qing army's soldiers had been forced to become more and more backward by the Ming army.

Chen Wen knew very well that the time for decisive victory had come, and he had prepared a big gift for Yue Le long ago. After walking down the small building, he turned over and led the guards straight to the rear of the Ming army formation on the main battlefield. This was the assembly point of the Ming cavalry, and Chen Wen soon came here. After the banner of the Kuaiji County Prince came to the formation, the morale of the Ming army was immediately boosted.

After inspecting the cavalry behind the formation, Chen Wen picked up the iron trumpet and tried to make everyone hear his shouts.
