No matter how the Qing army fired guns and fired arrows, the new Huai army in red uniforms kept a gun, and mechanically walked towards the Qing army formation step by step, turning a blind eye to the occasional fallen comrades beside them, and ignored the sound of the Qing army's guns and cannons, and the muskets in their hands were kept a gun.

Tong Tulai was very surprised: "Are these barbarians stupid?"

Hong Chengchou frowned and shook his head: "No, they have to get closer before fifty steps!"

Hong Chengchou, who once brought the Ming army, was of course very clear that firearms such as muskets could only be effective within fifty steps. Before the Ming army and the Qing army fought, the bird gunner opened fire from a distance. As a result, the Qing army was killed by the Qing army before they could load again. Li Laoer's firearms unit was elite and would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

But Hong Chengchou was wrong again, and there were exceptions. At this time, a group of Ming soldiers wearing green uniforms ran out from both wings and ran towards the Qing army formation.

"No! The poison gun is coming!" Hong Chengchou's heart suddenly contracted.

He knew that there was a kind of musket in Li Lao Er's army that was shot far and very accurately. This self-generated musket was called poison guns by the Qing army because it was shot very accurately wherever it was pointed. Of course, poison guns also had a fatal disadvantage, which was that the reloading speed was too slow. As long as you encounter cavalry and lose a few cavalry, you could rush to the front and chop all the poison gun soldiers one by one. So Li Lao Er's poison gun soldiers were equipped with horses, and they would run away after hitting a row.

These poisonous gun soldiers did not ride horses, and it was obvious that they saw that the Qing army had no cavalry.

The Ming soldiers in green uniforms rushed over. They arranged their scattered formations and stopped a hundred and fifty steps away from the Qing army. They picked up their own muskets and aimed at the Qing army formations.

"Bang bang bang" sounded not dense at all, but there was a sparse sound of guns. More than 200 people fired freely. The sound of rifled guns was extremely scattered, but the accurate head was surprisingly high. Almost every gun sounded, and a person on the Qing army had a man who sprayed blood mist on his head and chest, screamed or groaned, and fell to the ground.

The Qing soldiers who were killed were either tiger squat gunners or turtledove-legged gunners. They were all targets with the longest range and threatening the Ming army. They became the first targets of attack for the scattered soldiers of the Huai Army.

After the straitors fired the bullets, they did not load them, but turned around and ran backwards immediately.

The Qing soldiers were constantly firing for themselves, and they were proud of overturning a Huai soldier from time to time, but they saw smoke rising from the opposite side, and someone fell down from time to time.

Before the Qing soldiers could understand, they heard the roar of artillery sounding again on the opposite position, white smoke rising, and soaring shotgun swept from the two wings, forming cross firepower on the battlefield, and sprinkled into the Qing army formation in the middle, and blood and flesh flew everywhere, and pieces of Qing soldiers were immediately swept into the pool of blood.

The Qing army suffered a lot of losses this time, but the infantry had approached within fifty steps. The Qing army's archers continued to shoot arrows, the bird gunner, the turtledove-legged gunner and the tiger squat gunner were loading nervously, while the Qing army's hand-to-hand combat troops began to charge.

The formation of large groups of Ming army infantry stopped. With the orders of grassroots officers, rows of self-generated muskets were laid flat, and the black muzzles were aimed at the formation of the Qing army. The iron-armored soldiers on both wings also began to move and ran towards the formation of the Qing army.

There were only thirty steps left on both sides, and the swords in the hands of those officer-like people in the Ming army formation pointed forward.

Seeing this scene, Hong Chengchou's heartbeat accelerated, and he knew that the thing he was most worried about was about to happen.

"Boom" a shocking roar suddenly rang out. Nearly 30,000 flintlock guns fired at the same time, and the flames flashed into one circle, submerging the Qing army bird gunners and turtledove-footed gunners in the front rows in a piece of white smoke. The sound of nearly 30,000 flintlock guns fired at the same time exceeded the roar of the red cannons, and the dense bullets splashed into the Qing army formation like heavy rain.

On the Qing army, the rows of Qing soldiers in front fell down like earthen walls blown down by strong wind, and the bodies soon piled up into a hill thirty steps ahead of the Ming army.

This time, it was estimated that tens of thousands of Qing troops were knocked down, and ten percent of the losses had reached the psychological endurance of the feudal army. The formation of the Qing army immediately collapsed. The dead bird gunners, turtledove-footed gunners, archers, and tiger squat gunners all dropped their weapons and turned around and ran backwards.

The Qing army's hand-to-hand combat soldiers behind were rushing forward, but were collided by the retreating long-range soldiers. The Qing soldiers and the Qing soldiers collided with each other, and the formation was chaotic, trampled on each other, and countless casualties were injured.

"Kill!" Zhang Shiwen roared, swung his big axe, and was the first to rush towards the Qing army formation.

Nearly 30,000 flintlock spearmen erected the flintlock spear with bayonets, spread their legs and chased the defeated Qing army.

The Qing army had long been defeated, and no one thought of turning around to fight back. The Huai Army's flintlock spearmen who had bayonets were like a group of tigers chasing lambs, following the Qing army and chasing them reluctantly.

The Qing soldiers who were caught up, knelt on the ground with a smarter heart and raised their hands high. Some of the slow-minded ones were still running towards the mountain desperately, but were overturned by the Ming army with a bayonet.

"Defeated! Defeated! Run!" A terrifying shout came from the Qing army crowd, and everyone ran away with their legs. Hong Chengchou's central army flag was flying under the hillside, and the Qing soldiers rushed towards Hong Chengchou.

This is the psychological effect of the defeated soldiers. They always have to run towards the direction of the coaching flag, as if they will be safe only if they run to the coaching flag.

Hong Chengchou ordered: "Move slowly up the mountain!"

Several Goshhas carried the flag of the commander slowly moved to the hillside, guiding the defeated soldiers to concentrate on the slope. Hong Chengchou had prepared for a long time. If he could not defeat, he would retreat to the mountain to stand for help. Who knew that he would not be able to defeat it, and this move would play a role. If he had been defeated in a complete manner and wanted to run away, Hong Chengchou would have ordered the flag of the commander and took a few Goshhas to run away. But in that case, all the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops would be dispersed and he didn't know where to run.

The Qing army fled back to the mountain. Only half of the more than 100,000 people who had just gone down the mountain ran back. The rest were either killed or had become prisoners of the Huai Army.

"Fortunately, Lord Hong has prepared for a long time. We still have fortifications on the mountain, otherwise we would have been defeated in this battle." Tong Tulai said.

Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly: "I originally wanted to defeat Minggou, break through the siege, and gather in the mountains. Although I knew that more than 100,000 people went down the mountain, I could not defeat 40,000 Minggou! Now that things have come, our army has to stand firm and wait for assistance."

"Mr. Hong, the Minggou Cavalry are heading northeast. They are afraid they are going to stop our reinforcements, right?" Li Yong said.

"Our army went south with at least 200,000 troops, and only 25,000 Mingdog Cavalry, what can I do to me? Wait." Hong Chengchou said generously to himself, and at the same time he cheered up his soldiers, making them feel that reinforcements would come soon.

The Huai Army cleaned the battlefield at the foot of the mountain and took away the prisoners.

Li Guodong pointed to the hillside and said, "Look at where Hong Chengchou ran away! When he caught this old thief, he must send him to Nanjing and then cut him into pieces!"

If you catch Hong Chengchou, you must kill him, and you must be executed with the most severe death penalty, so as to shock those traitors who surrendered to the enemy and rebelled. But Li Guodong would not execute Hong Chengchou on the spot, but took him to Nanjing to hold a public trial meeting for 10,000 people, and then execute him in front of the Ming Xiaoling, and sacrificed his head and heart to the Ming Taizu.

The follow-up troops of the Huai Army arrived one after another, including baggage troops, engineering troops and other troops, as well as brigade infantry of the old army.
