Although Ajige led more troops than the Ming army, there was no such huge gap as twice as twice.

Therefore, Ajige adopted the tactic of feinting attack on three sides and breaking through on the one hand.

According to normal principles, there is no problem doing this.

But the commander of the Ming army was not a fool. He quickly observed the distribution of Jiannu's troops through a telescope, discovered Jiannu's tactical strategy, and adopted a counterattack plan.

After the preparations for dispatching troops, the main attacker Jiannu was frustrated, the Ming army on the left and right wings suddenly launched and used the weapon that had been hidden since the battle - the hand-throwing thunder, which was black gunpowder grenade.

Even though he was under a relatively large pressure during the attack, Kong Youde did not use this individual weapon, but instead used a grenade vehicle with greater power and longer range to suppress and block the enemy.

Obviously, there is not much left of the sky-burning thunder carried by the grenade truck. Ajige can also judge this. There is also such luck and hope in continuing to attack regardless of casualties.

But Ajige's hope was shattered with the fierce counterattack of the Ming army on both wings. The Ming army opened the way with rifle guns and grenades, and launched a fierce counterattack against Jiannu who was attacking the feint.

The explosion roared, and balls of black smoke rose up, shrapnel flew everywhere, and lead bombs shot. The sudden and violent firepower caused great chaos and panic to Jiannu.

The lethality of black gunpowder grenades naturally cannot be compared with later grenades; because they are thrown by hand, they cannot be as big as thunder.

Therefore, there are many killers and fewer killers. But fighting on the battlefield is a contest of strength and skills. Injury means a decrease in combat power, psychological impact, and the opponent becomes stronger.

More importantly, the panic and chaos caused by the grenade. The thunderzi was thrown under his feet, making his ears buzzing, and he was even scared to jump!

On the one hand, he fell into chaos, on the other hand, he had been preparing for a long time and had a strict battle formation. The Ming army's troops had to surpass Jiannu, who was in a local counterattack. Jiannu, who was caught off guard, was defeated step by step.

"Kill, kill, rush!" Ming general Zhang Dalu and Shang Keyi shouted loudly, leading by example, waving the officer's standard sword, and slashing the enemy mercilessly.

Crack! The guardian Erde raised his knife to deal with it? The scimitar was cut off by Zhang Dalu's heavy hard steel sword? The blade went down and slashed across Erde's face.

The skin is blooming? Blood gushed? Ede screamed and took several steps back? There was blood in front of him.

Puff! A Ming army soldier rushed forward and stabbed the bayonet into Ede's belly. Turned his wrist? The soldier pulled out the triangular bayonet? The blood-hula's intestines and internal organs rushed out of the wound.

Ede raised his bloody face and let out an inhuman scream. He covered his messy and bloody intestines in vain and was kicked down by the soldier. He twisted in pain on the ground.

"Kill! Kill!"

More than a dozen big feet stepped past Ede's body in a mess? Accompanied by the passionate shouts, the Ming soldiers slammed the bayonets and rushed over, and no one paid attention to the Jiannu officer who fell to the ground and experienced many battles and skilled in bowing and horses.

The cavalry commander Tanaka waved his scimitar and howled with several personal soldiers, trying to stop the defeated soldiers from retreating, but it attracted the attention of the Ming army.

More than a dozen grenades were thrown over in chaos, and a trace of blue smoke was emitted under Jiannu's feet. Even the brave Jiannu changed his expression and subconsciously avoided it.

The explosion vibrated the eardrums? Black smoke rose and shrapnel burst out? Hit Jiannu's body, legs and feet? A scream was roaring.

The smoke had just dissipated a little? In the blurry sight, Tanaka's eyes widened, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers either knelt or stood, pointing the black muzzle here.

The light flashed, white smoke rose, and more than a dozen lead bullets roared and rushed towards him.

The hot blood splattered on Tanaka's face, and a soldier covered his neck, turned his body, and fell down with his eyes wide open.

The severe pain came from his chest and abdomen. Tanaka lowered his head in a daze and saw two bloody bullet holes. It was too close, and his armor could not resist the lead bullets shot at more than 20 meters.

The strength quickly passed with the blood flowing out. Tanaka shook and leaned on the ground with a knife, barely falling down.

A group of Ming troops rushed over with shouts and killed the wounded Jiannu who fell to the ground, fighting with other Jiannu.

Another team of Ming troops came to help the battle, and more than a dozen grenades were thrown into Jiannu. The explosion of smoke and dust was still spreading in the air, and the Ming soldiers had already killed them with bayonets. The iron face on their faces was ferocious, like a ferocious demon and monster.

Tanaka could no longer support him and fell down on his back. The clear sky drifted by smoke, but his vision turned from gray to eternal black.

The cruel and bloody melee combat tests cooperation and courage, and martial arts are second. Even the top masters dare not slightly promote their attacks in the face of the army's battle formation.

Just imagine that more than a dozen or dozens of bayonets are coming towards us, which is simply irresistible. After the firearms are equipped with the army, the so-called enemy of ten thousand people, the so-called Guan and General Zhang have lost the foundation of existence.

In the face of the lead bullets shot, death is equal. Those who can survive in the rain of bullets are not based on their ability, but on their luck.

Obviously, there are very few lucky Jiannu. He is already very lucky to survive the fierce counterattack of the Ming army, or to escape successfully.

Ajige had no time to mobilize his troops, and the Ming army took the lead in making a breakthrough in the left wing in the main attack direction, defeating Jiannu, who was in a feint.

It would be nothing if it was just a frustration, but the Ming army's breakthrough immediately exposed the flanks of the main attacking Jiannu. After a little rectification, the Ming army's flintlock spearmen shot deadly bullets at Jiannu dozen meters away.

The stalemate situation immediately reversed. Jiannu, the main attacker, was attacked on both sides, with thunder, muskets and bayonets in front, and lead bullets shot from round after round, with a sharp increase in casualties.

Immediately afterwards, the right wing's breakthrough and attack became the last straw that crushed Jiannu. Jiannu, who was attacked on three sides, was double-stricken between smoke and lead bullets, and was unable to attack without the order of retreat and began to retreat.

The horn of retreat sounded, sobbing and crying, like a crying and complaining, which was extremely miserable to Jiannu.

Jiannu's cavalry also dispatched, shooting arrows in front of the formation to cover the retreat of their defeated soldiers.

Although Azig made the best arrangements, after this heavy blow, the attacking troops suffered heavy casualties. If they wanted to launch a fierce attack, they would not be able to prepare for a while.

With the sound of war drums, the Ming army launched a full-scale counterattack, using muskets and bayonets to chase and kill the defeated enemy, and drove Jiannu out of the trench.

The sound of cannons and gunshots in the distance became clearer, and the blocking troops led by Zhuona were also struggling to support them. They were suppressed by the Ming army with strong firepower and kept retreating, and the cost of casualties became heavier and heavier.

"Mr. Beile, the enemy's firepower is fierce. Our army is difficult to perform against the enemy on the road, and there are great casualties. General Zhuo asked for the order to retreat!"

Azig was rectifying his troops, but the messenger sent by Zorna poured a basin of cold water on him.

Looking at the messenger half-kneeling, Ajig frowned. Although the attack on Weizigu was not smooth, it exceeded his expectations, but the people responsible for intercepting could not hold on, which was even more beyond his expectations.

The messenger did not dare to look up and continued: "The enemy took cars and cannons first, and the muskets were sharp, and thousands of reinforcements helped the battle. There were also a large number of artillery behind the formation and it was difficult for our army to avoid on the road..."

Tu Lai bowed and advised, "Beile, the last general thought that he could not fight again. The Ming army was well prepared and had strong firepower, and seemed to intend to lure our army to fight. Our army had suffered heavy casualties. For the future plan, it is best to withdraw troops first."

Tulai was the son of Fei Yingdong, the five founding ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty. He was known for his blunt speech and dared to give advice. He had a high prestige in the army. He was sent by Lao Nu to assist Ajige. Ajige also had to pay attention to his opinions.

Azig sighed silently, the disadvantages that the messenger mentioned were indeed irresistible to him.

When attacking Weizigu, he also learned about the powerful firepower of the Ming army, which was still in the absence of many artillery.

In order to intercept the Ming army, Zhuona's troops could only gather on the road to block the attack. The narrow space could make the Ming army's firepower advantage fully utilized.

"Then Benbeile's order was ordered to lead his army to retreat immediately."

Ajige ordered in a deep voice, but did not look at the messenger, but looked up at Weizigu. Although the Ming army also suffered casualties, its troops were not greatly damaged, and its strength to resist the attack was still there, and it could not be captured in a short period of time.

Moreover, the heavy casualties in the headquarters, coupled with the difficulty of being blocked by Zhuona's troops, finally made Ajig dispel his will to continue fighting.

If we continue to fight, it will probably be a result of both sides' losses. The losses are no longer something that Zhengbaiqi can bear.

Even if we try our best to eliminate these thousands of Ming troops, the Zhengbai Banner will be damaged. How can we defend the Yaxiao Pass and how can we block the subsequent Ming army's attack on Jianzhou?

Although Ajige is relatively reckless and rude, he is not a fool. If he had a simple mind, how could he defeat Li Zicheng repeatedly in history and capture and kill Liu Zongmin, claiming to be able to fight.

Seeing the Ming army in Weizigu formed a formation again, the number of people was smaller, but it was still strict. Even if Ajige was unwilling to give up, he knew that things could not be done.

The rumbling cannons and the roar of muskets became closer, and defeated soldiers appeared on the road, which was because Zhuona's troops retreated. From the perspective of time, the messenger might have just arrived, which shows that Zhuona's hard support has reached its limit.

Boom, Boom, Boom... The heavy bombing of the Ming Dynasty continued to extend, explosions one after another, smoke rose in the bursting fire, and people in the Later Jin army shouted that horses were neighing, and many were killed and injured by the bomb.

Ajig looked from afar, his eyes narrowed.

The artillery of the Ming army was indeed fierce. Before the soldiers were seen, they saw their artillery first. This shows how difficult the Zhuona troops experienced.

"Retreat the army!" Azigeyan gave an order.

Amid the whimpering horns, Jiannu retreated. Zhuona's troops also used the speed of the war horses to accelerate the range of the Ming army's artillery.

The Ming army seemed to have no cavalry. Even if there were cavalry and dared to pursue them, Ajige would not be afraid to fight back and could take the opportunity to avenge the defeat.

Therefore, Ajige and the Jiannu led by Jiannu did not seem so panic when it comes to retreating in front of the formation. However, the close combat with the Ming army on the battlefield and the bodies of the dead who were within the range of the Ming army's muskets could not be removed.

Since the Battle of Guangning, Jiannu has abandoned the bodies of the dead of the battle several times and retreated sadly and helplessly, as if he has become accustomed to this.

There is no way, robbing the corpse will kill more people, and the Ming army will never be lenient. Under such a trade-off, Jiannu could only accept such a result.

With the help of the sharp firearm, the Ming army's defense was very strong. Ajige looked at the Weizi Valley, the ruined fortress left him with a profound lesson.

In a narrow area, if there are no fortifications, it will be killed and injured by powerful artillery fire of the Ming army.

Looking at Zhuona, who was covered in wounds and oozing blood, who was coming to report, Azig sighed helplessly.
