Chapter 166 Repel
Jiachang Huang An swept away his usual lazy image, and the burly man strode forward with a shield in his hand. He held the shield in his left hand in front of him, and ran into a Qing army in front.

With a loud bang, the shields of the two sides collided. The Qing soldier's strength was obviously not as strong as Huang An's, but he was resisted by the Qing soldiers rushing from behind, so he never fell back.

Before he could react, Huang An swung the short ax in his right hand and chopped it off with all his strength. The Qing soldier's head left his body and flew into the air, splashing out a cavity of bright red blood.

Even though Huang An hastily used his shield to protect him, he was still sprayed all over the face. He caught a glimpse of the Qing soldier behind him with a bright red face, as if his eyes were covered, and he swung his ax in a hurry, so he swung his shield vigorously. rush forward.

As soon as the Qing soldier opened his eyes with force, he saw a big face full of beards and blood stains close to him. Then there was a muffled sound, and he felt a heavy blow in his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't even breathe. He opened his eyes wide. He pursed his mouth, and fell down with a sluggish body.

A mace hit Huang An's shield. He felt his left arm go numb from the shock. He couldn't help but took a big step back. The shield almost flew out of his hand. Fortunately, a long-armed spearman behind him hit it with his shoulder. stopped him.

A long spear pierced through his armpit, stabbing at the throat of the Qing soldier who was rushing from the opposite side. When the long spear was drawn back, a bloody arrow shot straight out, splashing on Huang An's face again.

Just in time for him to exhale with his mouth wide open, most of the blood arrows shot into his mouth, choking him so much that he almost breathless.

…………

There were too many Qing troops, and they only made contact for a moment. Although they killed and wounded many Qing troops, they were still forced to retreat again and again.

Moreover, after the Qing soldiers passed through the narrow part of the trench, they immediately dispersed to both sides. Seeing that there were more and more Qing troops, Huang An and other two-armor soldiers were in danger of being surrounded by Qing soldiers.

"... bang... bang bang..."

There was a burst of not very dense firecrackers.

The Qing soldiers had just spread out in a fan shape, and Sergeant Xuanda loaded the ammunition for the firecrackers behind the earthen walls on both sides of the passage. Forty birdcracks fired at a distance of less than forty steps, basically without deliberately aiming, especially The array of Qing soldiers was still so dense.

Nearly forty Qing soldiers who had just rushed up fell to the ground and wailed, and the screams and wailing rang out in one piece, and the Qing soldiers that seemed to be a huge formation disappeared instantly.

Huang An immediately felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and shouted sharply: "Kill, kill back, kill the tartar..."

He roared angrily and pushed forward again. A chain hammer from the opposite Qing army crossed the shield and hit the head of a Xuan Da sergeant beside him. The helmet was dented, blood and brains sprayed out. The sergeant didn't even cry out, his body went limp, and he fell flat on the ground.

At this time, there was a rush of gongs coming from behind Huang An, his expression changed, and he roared loudly: "Run, disperse... all disperse..."

There were only a dozen or so Xuanda sergeants who fought with the Qing army on the passage, and they all ran back in panic, and quickly ran away to both sides, leaving only a large group of Qing soldiers at the passage.

…………

If one doesn't pay attention, a long time has passed.

The Qing soldiers only cared about fighting with Sergeant Xuanda, hoping to open a bloody path and enter the Ming army camp, but they forgot that the Ming army's artillery in front of the passage had already reloaded its ammunition.

According to the original military plan, they rang the gong in time to send a signal to the soldiers in the bloody battle ahead to escape.

The distance of forty steps, less than fifty steps, is the distance at which the tiger squatting cannon's shotguns have the greatest lethality.

Some Qing soldiers already sensed the danger, howling, they chased after those Xuan Da sergeants who fled to the two sides, but there were still many Qing soldiers gathered on the official road, and they kept coming up from behind.

"Boom...boom..."

The sound of the thunderbolt was like thunder, and it rang several times in a row, so that the Qing soldiers who rushed in the front row seemed to be deaf.

The entire defense line of the Xuan Da army entered a state of melee combat, and the two sides were intertwined. However, the sound of the gong "Dangdang..." came quickly, and the Xuan Da army, who had been fighting to the death, rushed forward. run far away.

A large rain of bullets came overwhelmingly, and the entire passage was densely covered with scorching small cannons. The impact force, at such a short distance, hit the Qing soldiers in the front rows to pieces, blood-red, Black corpses rolled all over the ground.

Remnants of limbs and broken arms were all over the ground, blood mixed with unknown liquids flowed everywhere, and those Qing soldiers who hadn't died for a while screamed shrilly, their voices were hoarse and exhausted, revealing bursts of despair.

The rest of the Qing soldiers were stunned for a while, at a loss, they were completely stunned by the tragic scene in front of them.

Then, I saw the smoke rising from the Xuanda Army's artillery firing on the opposite side. In the rising smoke, an iron-armored army as red as blood roared and rushed over.

All they could hear was the roar of "Kill...Kill the Tartars...Kill...Kill...", and their hearts were full of fear.

One of the Qing soldiers seemed to be frightened. He exclaimed "Oh my god...", turned around and ran back. For a while, all the Qing soldiers on the passage fled back even rolling and crawling.

Many Qing soldiers were squeezed into the ditch when they passed through the narrow part of the ditch. Although the ditch was not very deep, it was very wide and covered with thin ice, making it extremely slippery. The Qing soldiers who fell into the ditch could not climb up .

…………

Zhang Cheng led the cavalry to attack the Qing army. After defeating the Ming army's surrendered gunners, they did not enter Jiazhuang. support.

When the two sides met at close quarters, he led the cavalry to dismount, each armed with long and short weapons, ready to fight the Qing soldiers in close combat, and he must not let the Qing soldiers break through the front line.

At the same time, the front and rear sentries were sent to the west, and Lin Zhiyi and Zhang Yan's infantry middle army post was sent to the east. He led the left and right posts to the middle passage.

Just after the artillery was fired on the passage, Zhang Cheng jumped out, roaring and charging, and the more than [-] elite soldiers under his command also roared forward in unison, and no one was willing to lag behind.

The distance was only forty or fifty paces away, when the Qing soldiers were stupefied, Zhang Cheng led his team to charge forward, and the rows in front of them were all three-eyed guns, firing randomly at a distance of ten paces.

Only a few particularly fierce Qing soldiers still did not forget to throw their spears and throwing axes towards Zhang Cheng, but they themselves were also surrounded by the retreating army and kept retreating.

"Boom boom boom..."

Behind Zhang Cheng, smoke billowed from the wall of Jia Zhuangzhuang, and amidst the flames, large iron bullets flew out, directly shooting into the formation of the Qing army, which aggravated the panic of the Qing army.

He led the army in pursuit to the front ditch, and saw that the Qing army gathered together, and most of the shield vehicles that had been stagnant in the ditch had also withdrawn, and they were all lined up in front of the formation.

Zhang Cheng led the army back, and on the way back, swaggeringly in the sight of the Qing soldiers, ruthlessly attacked those Qing soldiers who had fallen into the trench.

They either swung their axes to chop off the heads of the Qing soldiers on the passage and brought them back, or picked up the axes and spears that fell on the ground and stabbed the Qing soldiers struggling to climb up in the trench. .
