The military orders of the Changsheng Camp fell like a mountain.

No matter how unwilling Gangzi was, he did not dare to disobey the military order. He quickly picked up the spear and followed the brothers around him, carrying the wounded soldiers, and quickly retreated.

At this time, the pikemen who had just been injured by the Houjin army's short-handed hidden weapons in the charge had also been carried to the rear by the auxiliary soldiers.

But for those who died directly in battle, due to time constraints, their bodies could only be temporarily left on the scene.

At this time, as the remaining Tatars under the wall kept shouting, more and more Tatars surged up on the wall.

With the guidance of these Tatars under the wall, they were no longer anxious to jump off the wall. They took off their throwing axes and javelins and swarmed towards the Ming army's battle formation.

In front of the Ming army's battle formation, the sword and shield soldiers quickly raised their shields to block.

For a moment, the 'crack' sound of the sharp blade hitting the shield was heard endlessly.

How could Li Yuanqing make the Tatars on these walls so comfortable?

Under his loud orders, the retreating cannon soldiers came forward one after another, and their guns were pointed at the Tatars on the wall. In a moment, the crisp chirping of the cannons sounded again.

At this time, although the Tatars on the wall were in a commanding position with a wide view, on the other hand, the prominent terrain also made them a living target for the cannon soldiers.

In an instant, dozens of dog Tatars who were throwing short-term weapons and hidden weapons were directly beaten away by bird cannons. They cried out in pain and fell down the wall.

At this time, beside Li Yuanqing, Joseph saw that the Ming army had finally stabilized the formation, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, but kept crossing himself on his chest.

"General, you and your soldiers are really, really the most valiant warriors! Just now, I thought they were going to... What a blessing from God! I think even the Spanish are the most proud of them.

The heavy armored infantry of the phalanx is probably like this, right?"

Thomas also said: "General, your soldiers are really an eye-opener for me. Their bravery and discipline are no less than the elite warriors of the West."

Peter also nodded repeatedly, "Yes. I even have an illusion. These warriors are even more strict than the elite guard of the King of the Netherlands."

Although people like Joseph all had some war experience, they all came from the sea and spent most of their time making a living on the sea.

This was the first time they had seen such a fierce head-on army confrontation.

Li Yuanqing had no time to pay attention to these foreign devils at this time.

There is no doubt about the combat power of the main force of the Hou Jin Army!

They were the most powerful land force in the entire East Asia at this time.

Even if you look at the entire world, they are definitely the best in the army.

You know, this was only the beginning of the 17th century, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, 164.

Even the so-called main forces of the Western powers are only in the era of semi-firearms, and they are not even semi-firearms.

Let them deal with all the cavalry, who are brave and good at fighting, and the main force of Houjin is at its peak. They have to grow bigger by one head.

Everything will become clearer when you have a reference.

At this time, the two units of the Changsheng Battalion were able to withstand the offensive of Hou Jin's main force from the front. The men and women had already proved their strength with their actual performance.

Li Yuanqing is very clear. With 500 years more knowledge and experience than this world, he and his subordinates, even if their combat power is not at the forefront of the world, are at least close to it and even squeezed into the first group.

The most important thing is that the Changsheng Battalion is fully prepared and has only been established as an army for less than four years!

This is an emerging military group that is full of fighting spirit, full of courage, and has absolutely the right leadership direction!

Even though she still has shortcomings in various aspects, she is just like Li Yuanqing's age. She is just 4 years old and is just the beginning of reaching the peak of her life!

As the old saying goes, 'Winter is coming, can spring be far behind?'

Li Yuanqing has always believed that as long as he keeps working hard and doing things down-to-earth, with his 500 years of rich experience that transcends this world, one day, he and his sons will stand on top of the world and firmly control the world.

Trampled underfoot!!!

Why do we need white-haired bastards like Joseph to flatter us here?

At this time, the main force in the middle line can still maintain the overall situation for the time being, and everything is under Li Yuanqing's control.

On the Western Front, Chen Zhong, although they are in a tangled state with the Dog Tatars, Chen Zhong has sufficient follow-up troops, and there will not be any big abnormalities in the short term.

As for Zhang Pan on the eastern front, although Zhang Pan did not have many available troops and was only supported by dozens of personal guards, there was a riverside fort in the east and Li Sansheng's troops were stationed there. In addition, the battlefield at this time was mainly concentrated on the western front and

There was no serious problem on their side of the center line.

However, through this first round of actual combat, Li Yuanqing discovered a big flaw in his previous careful planning.

In terms of time and opportunity, he grasped it well, but the space behind the earth wall was too flat. Although this huge space was conducive to the performance of his own spearmen, it also gave the Hou Jin Army greater

room for performance.

This is like a two-dimensional firepower network. On paper, there are almost no flaws, but in actual war, the vertical space is seriously insufficient.

To put it more bluntly, the flat terrain makes the cannon soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, and spear soldiers all crowded together, and the firepower is not connected enough. Fortunately, there are earth walls that can provide a certain buffer for the soldiers.

Time, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!

boom!

Bang bang bang!

The continuous sound of bird gunfire can be heard.

After a short rest, the musketry soldiers also calmed down a lot, concentrated their firepower, and launched a fierce attack on the Hou Jin army on the wall.

For a time, the Jin army was so suppressed that they could not lift their heads, and the speed of their attack was suddenly slowed down a lot.

Shunzi was also very clever. He had already led nearly a hundred gunmen and rushed directly to the fort previously commanded by Li Yuanqing. He took advantage of the fort's commanding position to continue attacking the Tatars.

However, the musketry soldiers had been fighting for a long time before, and the musket tubes began to heat up. The officers did not dare to use full firepower anymore, so they could only attack the Houjin Army in batches.

As a result, the intensity of the firepower weakened slightly.

But Hou Jinjun was not willing to suffer this dumb loss.

Behind the earthen wall, a rain of parabolic arrows was fired into the sky, densely falling from the sky like rain. Even though there were swords and shields in front of them to block the attack, many men from the Changsheng Battalion were still hit by the rain of arrows.

Fortunately, in this state, the deterrent effect of the Jin Army's arrow rain was far greater than its actual damage.

There were soldiers from the Ming Army in front of them, all of them protected by fine armor. The endless and somewhat random rain of arrows from the Jin Army, even if they hit the soldiers, they would only be slightly injured at most, and it was difficult to hit the vital points and be fatal directly.

At this time, under the strong suppression of the Ming army's cannon soldiers, the battlefield fell into a stalemate for a while. The Jin army could not attack, but blocked by the rain of arrows, the dog Tatars and spearmen behind the wall were also in front of them.

Can't eat it quickly.

Beside Li Yuanqing, Joseph saw that the magic trick of flattery didn't work, so he didn't dare to say anything. He stood on tiptoes and carefully looked at the situation ahead.

Next to him, Thomas and Peter Robber were also like this.

Today's head-on confrontation between the Army and the Army had a huge impact on their hearts.

They also need time to accept and digest it.

Li Yuanqing's pretty face didn't show much expression.

At this time, although the situation was considered stable, Li Yuanqing had already realized that this battle was much more stressful than he had previously imagined.

The old slave comes in person.

There is no way that the Hou Jin Army will give up. In this battle, I don’t know how many good men will have to hand over their lives here!

But the matter has come to this, and for the sake of the overall situation, Li Yuanqing can only grit his teeth and carry on!

I can only pray that Mao Wenlong's war on the Eastern Front will go smoothly.

…………

At this time, the Hou Jin army's battle formation saw that the main forces were approaching the earth wall, but there was still no effective progress.

On the black horse, the old slave also frowned tightly.

If this situation continues, let alone half an hour, even if it gets dark, it will be a great achievement to be able to break through the Ming army camp.

In this life, the old slave has fought in the north and south, and looted countless times. He has quite a lot of war experience, but in fact, he has not encountered many head-to-head battles in his life.

The strongest point of the Jurchen warriors' bravery lies in their explosive power.

Many times, as long as you work hard, most of the battle can be over in one go.

Including the Battle of Saerhu, in the face of the powerful Ming army, the main force of Hou Jin actually did not expend much effort. Once their sharpness was revealed, the Ming army was already defeated and was out of control.

If you want to fight head-on and fight bravely, all over the world, according to the current state of Houjin's main force, no one of them is weak.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing was like a piece of smelly and hard mud. Not only was it smelly, but he was also hard if you were hard, and even harder if you were soft.

But if you want to challenge him, he simply refuses to accept it, leaving you with no way to find a solution.

It was like a hard punch hitting the mud.

You said it didn't hurt him, more or less. You said it hurt him, but you really didn't see much.

On the contrary, my hand hurt a little bit.

This is quite a bit of the essence of Chinese Tai Chi - four ounces means lifting a thousand catties.

Although the old slave didn't know much about Tai Chi, he had been a soldier all his life. He soon discovered that the Ming army's endurance was too strong.

If this situation continues to develop, they will not only lose troops and generals, but it will also be difficult to achieve actual gains.
To be continued...
