Chapter 622 The Decisive Battle in Southern Henan ([-])

When Li Dingguo crashed into the Qing army's infantry and caused chaos in the Qing army, the Kesheng army who had crossed the pontoon bridge quickly lined up on the official road connecting the south gate of Xiangcheng.

There are two forts on the left and right in the south of Xiangcheng. The official road just passes through the middle of the two forts, connects with the pontoon bridge, and separates the two forts on the left and right.

The Dragon Riding Battalion crossed the pontoon bridge, and after gaining a firm foothold, they pushed the line to the left of the official road and marched towards Zuobao. The follow-up Desheng infantry continued to pass the pontoon bridge, and the soldiers lined up. When the troops approached the south gate of Xiangcheng, The [-] soldiers in front turned directly to the right, and then walked down the official road in unison, forming the first horizontal formation.

At this time, the official road was vacated, and the soldiers behind continued to move forward, and then another 150 soldiers turned to the left and walked down the official road. After [-] steps, the whole team turned backwards and formed the third horizontal row array.

When the follow-up soldiers filled the official road again, they turned to the right in place between the first and third formations to form a second horizontal formation.

In this way, in a short while, the Wei army formed three fronts near the official road to block the Nikan army on the right.

The armor of the Kesheng infantry is distinctive. All soldiers are black cotton armor. There is a flag for every 300 people. The helmets of each officer have triangular and four-corner helmet flags. The organization is clear and the marching formation is quickly completed. , Transformation to combat formation.

Nikan mobilized more than [-] horses and horses, braved the artillery attacks from Xiangcheng and Youbao, and penetrated through the gap between the two cities. Just as he was about to cross the official road, he covered and killed the Western Army who came out of the city from behind. A group of people and horses stood in front of him in a moment, forming a strict infantry formation, blocking his way through.

At this time, the artillery of the Wei army was pushed out by the soldiers, and opened fire on the rushing Qing army first. There was a roar in the sky, more than a dozen white smoke rose, and the artillery shells fell into the rushing crowd of the Qing army, killing dozens of people immediately.

In an instant, the Qing army that entered the gap between Xiangcheng and Youbao was bombarded by artillery from two sides, and artillery bombardment appeared directly in front of them.

The interspersed Qing army was strangled by fire from three sides, and advanced in the mud column smashed by the shells. People howled and horses neighed in the crowd, and some people were killed constantly, but they still rushed 150 steps in front of the Wei army's line.

The Qing army was mixed with infantry and cavalry, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, rushing towards the Wei army's line like a mudslide.

Wei Jun's self-generated fire blunderbuss can penetrate armor within 150 steps, and has a probability of injuring the enemy within [-] steps.

If they are all infantry, then fight closer, but the horse army is fast, so it is necessary to pour as much firepower as possible before the horse army rushes into the battle.

"Let go!" Jin Xiangang roared angrily.

On the first row of horizontal formations, the soldiers of the Wei Army raised their guns one after another, and the sound of "bang bang bang" and the sound of booming guns suddenly rang out. The Qing cavalry who charged forward fell down one after another. It was overwhelmed by the galloping cavalry.

"Whoosh, whoosh," flames flashed in front of the Wei army's line, countless rockets shot out screaming, and gunpowder smoke filled the entire line.

In the dense gunpowder smoke, people were howling and horsemen were riding together, and Qing cavalry could be seen falling off their horses one after another, but suddenly, a Qing army rushed out of the gunpowder smoke, followed by another cavalry, and war horses kept rushing out.

The cavalry of the Qing army jumped out of the gunpowder with their swords on their horses, and pointed their spears directly at the Wei army in the front row.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Explosions rang out repeatedly, and the air waves overturned the Qing cavalry in front of the formation. One after another, thunderbolts exploded in front of the Wei army's line, blowing up the Qing cavalry who had just rushed out of the gunpowder smoke.

In an instant, under the long-distance bombardment of the Wei army's artillery, under the firepower net composed of firecrackers, rockets, and thunderbolts, the Qing army fell in pieces in front of the Wei army's formation. The corpses went from sparse to dense, and almost covered the ground in front of the front .

Nikan's eyes bulged in shock, and as soon as he pulled the rein, the speed slowed down, but the horse army in front of him did not stop, and the horse army was a horse army after all, and it was difficult to restrain his charge without a machine gun.

The Qing army stopped and fell in front of the front line, but finally there were Qing cavalrymen who broke into the Wei army's line with great momentum. A few gaps were torn in the front line, and they immediately rushed to the second front line.

When the soldiers of the Wei army saw that the first horizontal formation was pierced by the Qing army, the soldiers in the first horizontal formation immediately formed a circular formation and a square formation on the spot with the division as a unit for defense.

For a moment, they were like a row of wooden stakes inserted in the water, while the Qing army flowed past them like a stream of water, and continued to rush to the second front.

At this time, on the second line of the Wei army, the gunner had already raised the muzzle, and with the sound of a suona, the body of the gun moved back for a while, making a "bang bang bang" sound, and the front line was instantly filled with gunpowder smoke.

When the Nikan army rushed to the left wing, the soldiers of the western army had already crashed into the infantry of the Qing army on the left wing, panic, panic, and even despair, all kinds of expressions appeared on the faces of the Qing army attacking the fort.

Although the Qing infantry had an advantage in strength, they fought hard for half a day and suffered heavy casualties but could not take down the fort. Now they were raided by the Western army from behind, and the Qing army was immediately defeated.

The Qing army was defeated like a mountain, and the Qing army who attacked the fort saw the chaos in the rear, but was actually driven down by the Wei army who stood firm on the left fort.

Banner Ding, who supervised the battle, shot and killed several people, trying to prevent the soldiers from fleeing, but there were fleeing figures everywhere around him, and they couldn't stop them at all.

Sun Maosheng was also among the fleeing crowd. Seeing a bannerman in front of him shooting deserters, he hurriedly walked away from the bannerman. Together with countless defeated soldiers, he fled northward around Xiangcheng.

At this moment, a silver-armored general came to kill him with a spear. The spear directly pierced Banner's chest, and the corpse was raised high.

Sun Maosheng in the crowd spat, cursed inwardly that he deserved it, and followed the crowd, letting go and running away.

Shang Kexi, who came galloping on horseback, saw the defeated army rushing towards him like an ebbing tide, and knew that the attack by the left wing had failed.

He hacked and killed several defeated soldiers in a row, but he couldn't stop the defeat of the Qing army's infantry, so he could only flee under the pressure of the defeated army.

At this time on the battlefield, the generals and soldiers of the Wei army noticed a great change in the situation.

Hu Dawei fixed his eyes on the battlefield, and saw that the Qing army attacking the fort was defeated, and the Western army chased the defeated army to kill them. He immediately shook the Yanyue knife in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Dragon riding battalion, kill me!"

The Wei army on the left uttered a cheer, which covered all the noises on the battlefield. Inspired by this, the soldiers of the Wei army pumped up their blood and launched an imposing attack on the Qing army.

Shang Kexi saw the infantry crumble, and wanted to stop it, but happened to see a silver armor general holding a big gun, and a red cloak flying backwards in a gallop behind him, chasing the rout soldiers to kill him directly.

Shang Kexi was startled, turned his horse around quickly, and retreated northward with the infantry rout, but the crowd of people and horses limited his speed.

It just so happened that the Qing army's horse army turned around at this time, but it happened to meet the Xuanhu horse army who had completed the detour and was chasing from behind.

The Wei army's horse army came suddenly, rushed away from the Qing army's horse army, and rushed directly to the Wang Qi, which was still gratifying.

Xu Heihu took the lead, and smashed his ax on the head of a Qing general facing him. His helmet was shattered, and blood gushed out from his head. He fell off his horse and died with a scream.

Shang Kexi knew that Xu Heihu was powerful, but now that his retreat was blocked by this black servant, he happened to bump into him, so he had no choice but to hide.

Shang Kexi is also a tough guy. Facing the ferocious Black Tornado, he showed a ruthless expression on his face, and with his legs caught in the belly of the horse, he raised his knife to meet him.

Xu Heihu roared, and the big ax swept across, Shang Kexi bent back, the ax blade flew past his nose, he jumped up, sat up straight again, and then raised the sword in his hand, and the treasured knife cut a slit in Xu Heihu's back. There was a hole, the armor was torn open, but there was no blood, and there was a chain mail inside the turtle.

Shang Kexi couldn't help cursing, and was about to gallop on his horse, when suddenly a gust of wind roared behind him, a big gun stabbed from behind, the sharp tip pierced his back, and then pierced out from his chest, followed by a gust of wind. When the huge force came, Shang Kexi felt that he was lifted off the saddle!

Li Dingguo flew over, stabbed Shang Kexi through the back with a single shot, then used his arms to lift Shang Kexi's body from the saddle with his long spear, and lifted it high, blood pouring like rain.

For a moment, the people around were stunned, only to hear Li Dingguo let out a deafening roar, "Shang Kexi is dead!"
