The Qing army's cavalry, whose right flank attack was blocked, did not retreat, but instead used a small team to shoot the Taiping army with bows and arrows outside the battlefield after leaving the killing distance of the Taiping army's artillery fire. The Manchurian cavalry with good riding skills suddenly rushed up and shot an arrow by virtue of super-high equestrian skills, suddenly ran away from the horse, and then rushed back with lightning speed. The wolf soldiers are helpless.

Yu Shizhong snorted coldly, he had seen a lot of the Tartars' cavalry shooting. He waved the flag and ordered the artillery on the right wing to move the artillery forward, forcing the Qing cavalry to go away again, but then the distant Qing cavalry hung up again and surrounded the thirteenth town like a pack of wolves. ferocious attack.

The artillery of the Taiping Army was too tired to deal with it, and finally pushed the artillery forward. The Qing army ran away when the situation was not good, took a cold air and killed it again. Several times, the artillery couldn't adjust the muzzle firing. This guerrilla-like tactic of the Qing army made the Thirteenth Town Wolf Soldiers, who were on the battlefield for the first time, a little confused.

Shang Keyuan is Shang Kexi's cousin. After surrendering to the enemy with Shang Kexi, he participated in many wars between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, so he is quite familiar with the entanglement tactics of the Eight Banners of Manzhou. But there was no good way to deal with the Qing army for a while. If you want to crack the full eight banners, you must have a cavalry that can drive the opponent away. Obviously, Shang Keyuan did not have cavalry or an elite firearm. The cavalry of Ma Yaozi Wang. Fuchen kept pressing it. This was Yu Shizhong's trump card, and he would not use it until the critical time. The fifth town equipped with the most firearms is now located in the middle army, protecting the front of the army and cannot be easily drawn out.

The armored rate of the Taiping Army is still very low. The Guangdong Military Uniform Factory can barely supply the old four towns with new military uniforms. Most of the other towns are the military uniforms of the original Ming army, and many of them are even worn by Qing soldiers. Among the Qing army, especially the green battalion, the armored rate was lower. Most of the green battalions of the Qing army were adapted from the original Ming army, and these Ming army generals have been following a bad habit for a hundred years, that is, focusing their money and resources on cronies, while paying no attention to ordinary soldiers, they are only regarded as cannon fodder. Therefore, after the Ming army surrendered to the Qing army and became the Green Battalion, it was still the same as when they were the Ming army, and when they became the Taiping army, it was no different.

It's not that Zhou Shixiang didn't want to equip all the towns of the Taiping Army with equipment. However, Guangdong's resources were limited, and the output of the Foshan Iron Factory was not enough to build so many armors, so he could only focus on the towns that could fight. Almost half of the newly built soldiers in the town were adapted from the Green Battalion soldiers, so apart from being able to eat a little more, their equipment was no different from the Qing army. Even if Zhou Shixiang forbade the generals of the towns to build private soldiers, under the circumstance of limited resources, it could not fundamentally change the situation of low armoring rate.

In order to distinguish themselves, those soldiers who even had the same uniform and hat as the Qing army either tied red cloth on their arms or wrapped a red strip around their hats. The thirteenth town recruited all Guangxi strong men, and the weapons and military uniforms basically seized the Qing army equipment, so the number of soldiers who could wear armor in the town was less than 1,000. Therefore, in the face of this guerrilla archery tactics of the Qing army, the wolf soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. .

After the artillery moved the artillery forward again to force the Qing army back, Shang Keyuan gritted his teeth and wanted to organize the second and third brigades to chase and kill the Qing army, so that the Qing army would not dare to guerrilla 13th town without any scruples. However, Yu Shizhong came with a general order, and the order was still far from being pursued.

Shang Keyuan was helpless, so he could only close the formation as much as possible, ordering the armored brigade with a higher armor rate to be in the front line, and the few gunmen and archers among the generals organized to attack the Qing army.

After half a column of incense, Blind Li once again led the Iron Man Guard to delay a stream of Qing cavalry rushing in. As before, after paying more than 100 casualties, the Qing army turned around and retreated again after seeing that they could not take advantage of it.

The reason why Yu Shizhong did not allow Shang Keyuan to attack was that the Qing army cavalry repeatedly attacked the defense line of the thirteenth town. lead to the collapse of the right wing. The right wing, as the weakest wing, is not responsible for killing the enemy in Shizhong's campaign deployment, but the task of consolidating and protecting the Chinese army. Therefore, as long as Shang Keyuan stabilizes the front line, even if the casualties are heavy, it is worth it. Moreover, the existence of the right wing indirectly restrained a large number of cavalry of the Qing army, which weakened the strength of their cavalry. And if Shang Keyuan chooses to counterattack, he is likely to be killed by the retreating Qing army cavalry. Pursuing different defenses, without the protection of neat lines of defense, the scattered infantry could not cope with the onslaught of organized cavalry at all. Once the right flank was overrun by the Qing army cavalry, it would directly affect the left flank and the central army, and even the battle might end in failure.

The Iron Man Guards were all covered in iron armor, and even if the sergeants were tall and strong, it would be difficult for them to fight for a long time. Therefore, Yu Shizhong asked the blind man Li Ling Tie Renwei to retreat to the back for a temporary rest.

The tenth town on the right wing was completely passive, struggling to deal with the harassment and attack of the Qing army cavalry, while the fourth town on the left wing gradually relied on firearms to stabilize its position after the initial defeat, and killed a large number of the Qing army cavalry.

Yu Shizhong stood on top of a cart and commanded the battle commanding the battle~www.NovelMTL.com~ Roto was also standing on a **** to observe the dynamics of the battlefield. However, Roto didn't pay attention to Yu Shizhong, who was on the front line. He only knew that Gushan Ezhen Arzin, who was responsible for outflanking the right wing of the Taiping Army, was repeatedly attacking the Taiping Army's front, and he did not know the specific situation of the battle. On the left wing, the commander of the Qing army was Wang Sheng, the capital of the Han army under Dingnan. leader of the left.

Wang Sheng led more than 1,000 Han cavalry and the same number of Mongolian soldiers. Arqin on the right flank fought in front of the Taiping army and was struggling to deal with it, but he faced the danger of being surrounded by the Taiping army in person several times. Although he has repeatedly saved danger and killed many Taiping troops, Wang Sheng has been unable to open the situation for a long time. As time passed, the cavalry of the Han army could not help but think of the battles of Liuzhou and Qingyuan, and their morale was a bit low. The Mongolian soldiers worked hard at first, but now they all recoil. The Mongolian soldiers have always been reluctant to touch the hard bones that are difficult to chew. They wanted to let the Han army chew the hard bones, and the Han army was also unwilling.

The left and right flanks have been unable to make a major breakthrough for a long time. Li Benshen, the infantry middle army, could not find a fighter plane, and Zhang Yong and Xian Guoan did not dare to rush forward easily. Roto was a little impatient, so he ordered Ghoshha to beat the drum, and the drums sounded three links. The cavalry generals such as Arzin and Wang Sheng did not dare to die, and organized an attack one after another. The infantry side no longer hesitated, Li Benshen ordered the entire army to kill the Taiping army.
