    "I don't care how injured you are, as long as I see you break through the unmanned defense line on the other side, I don't care about anything else!"

    Hauge roared on the spot, and the smelly saliva in his mouth had already sprayed on the face of Mele Zhangjing.  As early as when Huang Taiji handed over the soldiers and horses of the two flags to him, he knew that this was the last chance his father gave him. The battle had reached the final moment. If the deadlock could not be broken again, Huang Taiji would probably  He would not hesitate to personally lead Zhenghuang Banner to launch an attack. Even if the Qing Dynasty finally won the victory, he, Hauge, would be abandoned by Huang Taiji without hesitation. From now on, he would never waste any time and money on him.  Energy, so whether it is public or private, Hauge must win.

    "Cha!" Seeing Haug's furious expression and his neck with veins exposed due to excitement, Melezhangjing knew that Haug's determination could not be shaken. In desperation, he had no choice but to order the army to continue the attack.

    But the development of the battle did not depend on Haug's will. With the infantry phalanx blocking the front and cavalry harassment on the side, Haug's attack became increasingly messy.  No one can concentrate on attacking forward when being attacked from both sides, not even the Qing army, which is famous for its brutality.

    Due to the sharp reduction in the threat from the side nose, the artillery battalions have withdrawn all their firepower. More than 300 artillery pieces from the two artillery battalions poured all their firepower onto the battlefield with a radius of three to four square kilometers. There were fires everywhere.  There were explosions one after another.

    The shells exploding everywhere completely disrupted the offensive formation of the Qing army. Countless Qing troops were afraid of this kind of explosion that was irresistible by manpower.

    Especially the elites with yellow flags. Before that, they were the elites of the Qing Dynasty. In their view, everything in this world should tremble under their long swords and horse hooves. They were born to conquer this world.  warrior.

    In the original history, the Huos succeeded because they encountered an old empire that was weakened by internal friction. They occupied a huge territory and became the masters of a huge empire. However, in this time and space, they encountered a  Variables, and this variable brought them bloody blood and death.

    The early release of modern hot weapons has made these barbarians who started by killing meet their nemesis. When barbarism meets civilization, when longbows meet muskets, everything becomes strange and frightening to them.

    The selection of Manchu warriors was very strict. A qualified infantry or vest had to be trained from a young age for at least six or seven years before he could become a qualified warrior. Their skillful martial arts and fighting skills made each of them a qualified warrior.  He was a killing machine, but everything changed when he encountered Pang Gang and his army.

    There is a saying that goes well in later generations: No matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you will only be defeated with hatred when encountering sharp firearms. Countless Manchu and Qing warriors who are skilled in bow and horse will not be better than one under the hail of shrapnel and bullets flying in the sky.  Ordinary people are much stronger, and all the martial arts skills they have practiced for many years are useless at this moment.

    "Let go!" "Bang bang bang" A burst of gunfire sounded, and another row of Qing troops fell down in front, including men and horses.

    ¡°The first row retreats, the second row steps forward!¡±

    "Let it go!" "Bang bang bang"

    The infantry in the square formation fired their guns in an orderly manner. From the excitement at the beginning to the dullness, and then to the mechanical movements later, the infantry were still firing their guns in an orderly manner. Under such circumstances, the Qing army was constantly being attacked.  Consuming troops.

    Looking at the three square formations in an orderly manner, Wang Zhi nodded with satisfaction. Different from the dangerous situation just now, which often suffered heavy casualties, the first few square formations now have a touch of elegance and calmness during the battle.

    Of course, Wang Zhi understood that this did not mean that the current deputy general and his soldiers were much stronger than Wei Jiang and those soldiers just now, but because at this time they had the support of cavalry silhouettes and artillery fire.  The reason for the linear increase in combat effectiveness.

    "It seems that in the future, we can't rely solely on infantry for battles. With artillery support and cavalry support, their combat effectiveness will soar a lot." Wang Zhi nodded thoughtfully and wrote this down.

    While Wang Zhi gained something, Huang Taiji on the opposite side fell into anxiety.

    Looking at Daishan and Azige who were covered in blood and crying loudly in front of him, Huang Taiji felt a wave of irritation all over his body. He asked anxiously: "Ajige, Daishan, how many men and horses do you two banners have that can fight now?"  Daishan's face was as bitter as a persimmon. Before he could answer, tears fell down. He cried: "To report to the emperor, there are less than five thousand people who can move my red flag at this moment."  "The same goes for my brother's blue-inlaid flag!" There was a bloodstain on Azig's face, which was scratched by a bell bullet when he was retreating.The scar was caused by his huge face and stretched from his nose to the back of his ears, making Azig look very hideous at this time.

    "What" Huang Taiji felt his whole body go weak, and felt dizzy for a while. His fat body swayed for a moment and looked like he was about to fall.

    "Your Majesty" Goshiha who was around was shocked when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward to support him and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay? You must take care of your dragon body!" Huang Taiji  In recent years, my health has been getting worse and worse, with frequent coughs, dizziness, and other symptoms. In severe cases, I may even suffer from coma. This disease was called hypertension in later generations. However, in ancient times, there were no medical conditions like later generations, especially  Since the Qing Dynasty still relied on primitive methods such as shamans or witch doctors to treat diseases, naturally no one would cure this disease.

    In addition, Huang Taiji is obese and likes to eat fat meat. In recent years, his condition has become more and more serious, and he will get sick if he is slightly stimulated.

    Seeing that Huang Taiji was about to get sick, Daishan on the side quickly shouted: "Quickly, give the emperor the elixir refined by the shaman!" "Yes, yes, quickly give the emperor the medicine."

    A personal guard quickly took out a small bottle from Huang Taiji's body, poured out a small black pill that was said to be specially refined for Huang Taiji by the chief shaman of the Qing Dynasty, and put it into Huang Taiji's mouth.  inside.

    After a while, Huang Taiji gradually woke up after taking the pills, and the people around him quickly helped him sit down.

    After Huang Taiji sat down, he took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and then said: "Daishan, Azige, do you really have less than 5,000 troops left in each of your two banners?" "It's absolutely true, Your Majesty.  !" Daishan, the oldest, couldn't help lying on the ground and cried bitterly.

    "Five thousand men and horses, five thousand men and horses!"

    Although Huang Taiji didn't speak, his heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife.  If this is really the case, then the red and blue flags were severely damaged today, and there is no way they can regain their strength without a few dozen or twenty days of rest and recuperation.

    After thinking about it, Huang Taiji asked again: "Daishan, Azig, what do you think of the current war situation? Can we continue to fight?" Daishan and Azig looked at each other and shook their heads in pain.  , Daishan said painfully: "Your Majesty, we can't continue to fight like this. If we continue to fight like this, our Qing Dynasty will be destroyed!" Although Azig usually doesn't like this cruel fourth brother, but on this occasion  At the moment of life and death, he had to say: "Yes, Your Majesty, the last wealth of our Qing Dynasty is here. If we really spend all our money, our Qing Dynasty will be finished?" After listening to the two people's words, Huang Taiji remained as usual.  Closing his eyes and saying nothing, he thought for a while and shook his head: "It's too late. If we withdraw our troops at this time, can Dahua watch us retreat?"

    Daishan advised: "Your Majesty, we can withdraw to our camp first, and then we can plan for it slowly!"

    Huang Taiji sighed, shook his head slightly and said: "I was too impatient. I didn't expect that the Great Chinese Army would have such fighting strength. I made a mistake this time. After returning to Shengjing, I will issue an imperial edict to punish myself.  I confess my sins to our common people and subjects of the Qing Dynasty."

    "Cha!"

    Daishan and Azige looked at each other again and did not dissuade Huang Taiji. At this time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet established so many stinky rules in the world. The trick of issuing edicts to sin against oneself was also learned from the Han people. For this  For people who are fashionable and don¡¯t pay much attention to appearance, it¡¯s no big deal.

    "Withdraw your troops!"

    In the end, Huang Taiji reluctantly issued the order he was least willing to issue.

    "Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo" Two short and one long horn sounds resounded throughout the battlefield. This was the signal to retreat. This sound made Hauge, who was originally strong-willed, finally endure.  He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. As soon as the retreat horn sounded, he immediately directed the cavalry of the two flags to cross and cover each other, and slowly retreated towards the camp behind.

    "Sir, the Shoes are retreating, the Shoes are retreating!" Seeing the Qing soldiers slowly withdrawing, the Dahua Army position opposite was filled with joy. This was the first time they had repelled the Manchus in a battle where the enemy was outnumbered.  It also indicates that from now on, the Manchus' biggest force has been severely damaged by them, and nothing can threaten them anymore.

    While everyone was cheering, Wang Zhi did not take any time off. He just sneered and said: "Huh, do you think it will be fine if you return to the camp? Don't forget, I haven't fired enough artillery yet. Come on, give me the order."  Whole army, pursue!¡±

    Under Wang Zhi¡¯s order, the remaining Chinese army, led by three square formations, began to slowly push towards the Manchu camp.

    "It's too much to bully others, it's really too much to bully others!"

    Seeing the Dahua army slowly approaching, Huang Taiji was so angry that his body was shaking wildly. It seemed that the Dahua general opposite him really didn't intend to give him any face at all?  ?But now is not the time to worry about this. While Huang Taiji ordered the troops to speed up their retreat, he also ordered Hauge to lead a part of the troops as a rear guard to prevent the pursuit of the Dahua Army!
