The Shandong cavalry in the melee had an absolute advantage, and the Qing army was constantly beheaded and off-horse. In less than ten minutes, most of the Qing army had been killed or injured, but the Shandong cavalry led by Lin Yi suffered minimal losses.

The Shandong Army had an absolute advantage in both training and equipment. The only thing they lacked was equestrianism, but with mutual cooperation, equestrianism no longer had any decisions.

Most of the Qing army, which had been killed in battle, began to be defeated, but this phenomenon did not spread. Many Qing soldiers were still very tenacious. They changed their previous habit of running away as soon as they died, and were still fighting with Shandong cavalry.

At this moment, every Qing soldier knew that the Qing Dynasty had reached a critical moment of life and death. Only those Mongolians would choose to escape at this time.

The battlefield was cruel, and many wounded soldiers wailed on the ground, making their scalp numb. It can be said that these Qing soldiers had made great determination to persevere.

It is not only because their Manchu tribe has reached a critical moment of life and death, but also because the Zhenghuang Banner is in charge of the army behind.

The defeated Mongols were soon chopped off their heads by the cavalry of Zhenghuang Banner behind. Duoduo dared to fight the Shandong army to decisively use means to shock them. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty's troops would be very likely to be defeated under artillery fire.

Just as Lin Yi was fighting fiercely, the First Infantry Battalion also had a fierce battle with the Qing army.

Although the right wing of the Qing army was constantly bombarded and killed at least tens of thousands of people. Lin Yi divided more than 10,000 people, but nearly 30,000 Qing troops collided with the First Infantry Battalion.

A fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out in front of the first infantry battalion.

The pike soldiers were mechanically massacred one by one, but the pike soldiers often fell to the ground. The number of Qing troops was too large. Some pike soldiers retreated to the back after being overdrawn, while the pike soldiers behind them rushed to the front.

Although spearmen were injured or killed from time to time, the defense line composed of spearmen was like a solid iron wall, and the Qing army could not break the defense line of spearmen.

The rocket soldiers and artillery behind the formation were constantly bombing the Qing army in the distance.

With the artillery support from our own formation, the Qing army rushed in was sparse, which created excellent combat conditions for the spearmen. It not only gave the spearmen time to adjust, but also had several spearmen to deal with a Qing army.

The four thousand cavalry on both sides also began to fight fiercely with the Qing army.

If this trend continues, although the First Infantry Battalion can win, the price will be heavy, because under the siege of 30,000 Qing soldiers, there will always be a time of exhaustion.

Moreover, as the Qing army almost rushed over, it was difficult for artillery and rockets to play a role.

Just in time, Wu Yongliang on the right wing led 10,000 cavalry to the left wing, and tens of thousands of cavalry quickly entered the melee. As soon as these tens of thousands of cavalry appeared, the situation immediately reversed.

The 30,000 cavalry of the Qing army were quickly annihilated by the Shandong army under the attack of 20,000 Shandong troops.

The spearmen and the cavalry had a huge advantage in hand-to-hand combat. At the same time, after the 10,000 cavalry led by Wu Yongliang supported the left wing, the three thousand musketeers behind the formation also rushed to the front line with bayonets and launched a fierce battle with the Qing army.

When these ten thousand cavalry appeared, the left wing had already formed an overwhelming advantage over the Qing army. At this time, the musketeers no longer had to worry about the rear formation and rushed forward to find the bargain!

It is obviously unreliable to let musketeers fight against these cavalry because they only have leather armor and are prone to casualties. Their mission is to solve subsequent battles behind the cavalry.

After all, cavalry cannot solve all enemies in charge, and many enemies survive the charge, so infantry needs to solve them.

As the cavalry on the right wing suddenly supported the left wing, the combat situation on the left wing of the Shandong Army suddenly changed drastically. From a bird's eye view, the Qing soldiers on the left wing of the Shandong Army had been divided into several pieces.

The 6,000 cavalry led by Lin Yi had already killed the 10,000 Qing soldiers at this time. After quickly completing the team, they continued to support the First Infantry Battalion.

The addition of these six thousand cavalry will immediately encircle the remaining Qing cavalry.

The Qing army on the left wing was quickly annihilated in the melee. In less than ten minutes, the Qing cavalry standing on the left wing could no longer be seen.

Under such an encirclement, there was no Qing army that could escape.

After the left wing entered a full-scale melee, the situation on the right wing also changed drastically.

The Qing army on the right wing could have advanced slowly under the shooting of rockets and rifles, but when the left wing was already in a melee, the artillery of the original formation began to shell the Qing army on the right wing.

With the full fire of 850 artillery guns and the continuous launch of rockets, the Qing army that rushed forward was actually beaten to retreat. It was not the Qing army that was retreating, but the speed of advance could not keep up with the speed of death.

But the Rockets used up a slim line in less than ten minutes under crazy launch.

As soon as the rocket stopped, the pressure under the Qing army rushing to the right was relieved, but the continuous bombing of 75mm howitzers and heavy artillery above 125mm still caused casualties to the Qing soldiers.

Especially those heavy artillery, if there is no problem with the fuse and the Qing army explodes above the head, they will not want to stand within twenty meters of a living person.

Of course, it takes extremely high technology and luck to explode overhead. After the Shandong Army used a safety fuse, it is possible to shoot shells onto the enemy's head and explode, so it is necessary to have technical names. However, safety fuses are sometimes not accurate, so luck is also required. Sometimes both are indispensable.

Most of the shells fell to the ground and exploded. Those bombs that used shrapnel to kill could only kill people within two or three meters.

Since the heavy artillery shells are filled with more gunpowder, the enemy within five or six meters will not stand safely after the explosion. Although some people cannot die under the impact of gunpowder, it is inevitable that they will be injured and withdraw from the battle sequence.

Under the continuous bombing, the cavalry on the left wing of the Qing army suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Continuous use of black gunpowder weapons also generated a lot of smoke.

Fortunately, the north wind was blown, and the smoke was blown behind him as soon as it was generated. It did not affect the operations of the Shandong Army nor the Qing Dynasty. The rockets fired were blown by the wind, so the range was reduced a little, and the angle had to be slightly adjusted during launch.

The Operations General Staff observed the development of the entire battlefield on the command car, and the situation was very gratifying.

The left wing of our side was almost wiped out the right wing of the Qing army. The right wing of the Qing army was also seriously injured under the strong firepower, and it was difficult for us to rush forward.

Even if the Qing soldiers rushed to the right wing, the right wing was covered by two infantry battalions, it was enough to deal with it. When the troops from the left wing pulled out, the Qing army that rushed to the right wing would come.

As for the 60,000 Qing army infantry in the middle, it was not worth worrying in the eyes of the combat staff.

After all, the infantry speed is too slow, and using muskets is enough to deal with them. Moreover, the Shandong Army has a large number of artillery and cavalry.

At that time, with the artillery bombarded, the cavalry rushed, and the infantry rushed again, the Qing army's infantry would basically be done, and in this icy and snowy environment, no one could escape.

"I guess the Qing army won't last long. With their usual style, it will be a matter of time before they can escape."

"It is impossible for the Qing army to turn the tables to come to this level. Duoduo will run away in a short time."

"After fighting this battle, it is time for us to fully recover Liaodong. Listen to the report of the Liaodong Special Operations Brigade, when the Third Infantry Battalion captured Lushun in the early morning, Manchu was ready to retreat to the Western Regions. At present, more than one million Manchu savages have gathered in Tieling. The Third Battalion just sent people to report that they had already entered Tieling."

"Have the Third Infantry Battalion solved the trouble outside the city?" Liu Heng couldn't help asking after hearing the report.

"Yesterday, Duoduo transferred back 20,000 infantry outside Fushun City, otherwise there would be no 100,000 cavalry. There were no cavalry outside Fushun City, and the Third Battalion directly broke out of Fushun. The 70,000 Qing troops outside the city were composed of 80,000 Han people. When the Liaodong Special Forces rebelled, they immediately turned against each other, and the problem was solved in just a few hours."

"Okay, as soon as the Qing army retreats, 20,000 cavalry will bite me immediately. Don't let these Qing soldiers support Tieling, and let the third battalion cut off all the Manchu savages." Liu Heng said happily.

The General Staff was talking, but Duoduo could not hold on in the Qing army's main formation.

Originally, he thought that without the cooperation of fortifications and warships at sea, the Ming army gathered 160,000 troops, which was enough to fight the Ming army in Shandong. He felt that he had a great grasp of victory, but Duoduo's imagination was full, but the reality was very skinny.

In this decisive battle, the Ming army's firearms were sharper than before, and the power of the Ming army's cavalry to fight on a large scale was insufficient.

Although the Shandong Army had performed very strongly in small-scale cavalry operations before, the Qing Dynasty had never seen the Shandong Army's large-scale operations.

It was only seen by the Qing army in North Korea, but most of them were done.

The Qing army in Liaodong had no idea of ​​the terrifying combat power of the Shandong army during large-scale assembly operations, and only thought that it would defeat the Shandong cavalry after the number exceeded many.

As a result, in the cavalry showdown on the left wing of the Ming army, 10,000 cavalry were defeated against 6,000 Shandong cavalry.

What's even worse is that although the firepower was attracted by the right wing, when the left wing launched a charge, the Ming army's right wing actually had rockets shooting out.

He directly defeated the left-wing cavalry and could not get close to the opposite Shandong Ming army.

Can't get close!

The right-wing cavalry of the Shandong Army ran directly to support their left wing, but their right-wing troops were surrounded in less than a moment, and it was only sooner or later that they had completely wiped out.

At this time, the rockets had just weakened, and the artillery over there began to shoot their left wing again.

Duoduo was almost crazy by the changes in front of him.

His eyes were red and his eyes were covered with blood.

"The 50,000 troops on the right wing will be wiped out by Minggou. What should I do?" Duoduo turned his eyes to Amin and Jirgalang beside him.

"Your Majesty, the 50,000 Eight Banners on the right wing can no longer be saved." Jirgalang looked at the situation in front of him. Since the 50,000 troops on the right wing were surrounded by the Shandong army, they have no chance to turn the tables.

"Your Majesty, let's retreat! Stay with the green mountains there, and you won't be afraid of burning firewood." Amin said anxiously: "If we continue to fight at this time, our Qing Dynasty soldiers will be killed!"

The Qing army fought against the Shandong army several times, but was seriously injured by the Shandong army. In order to expand the army, Duoduo almost summoned all the Manchus who could be recruited into the army.

In addition, the continuous arrest of the savage Jurchens in the forest has expanded its troops to this point now.

"I don't know that if I keep the green mountains, I don't have to worry about burning firewood. But we want the green mountains, but the Ming army does not give us a way out. We have to fight!"

"Your Majesty, if you continue to fight, there is no possibility of winning. The reason why we fought before was to preserve more vitality for our Qing Dynasty. But now it is no longer possible. The urgent thing is to retain as much vitality as you can, and you must not fight with Minggou forcibly." Amin hurriedly persuaded.

After saying this, Duoduo suddenly woke up and quickly ordered: "Retreat immediately. We will not go to the Western Regions, we will go to the deep mountains of the north."

"Yes, the emperor."

Both Amin and Jirgalang's expressions were relaxed. Just don't fight hard, Duoduo. Now that the troops have been exhausted, I will make a fortune in the future.

In fact, these two people really wanted to surrender to the Ming army because even if they ran to the Western Regions, their days were not as good as Liaodong. After all, they were still civilizational. They could enjoy a lot of things around the Ming Dynasty. As long as they surrendered to the Ming army, they could still enjoy them in the Ming Dynasty, but the Shandong army did not accept them.

In the style of the Shandong Army, there is no difference between the past and seeking death.

Now that the troops are almost all exhausted, it is a waste of going to the Western Regions. The two brothers are extremely depressed, but they must not fight again at this time.

If you continue to fight, all hope will be shattered.

Fortunately, Duoduo has not lost his mind yet.

Soon Duoduo ordered a retreat, but this retreat was almost equivalent to a defeat.

The 50,000 cavalry on the right wing of the Qing army were surrounded and had been beaten to only more than 10,000, and it would not take long to be finished. The 50,000 cavalry on the left wing were shot by rockets, artillery and muskets in the constant charge.

Duoduo ordered the retreat at once, and the 30,000 cavalrymen on the left wing of the Qing army turned around and ran away.

The right wing was still surrounded. The more than 10,000 cavalry were washed away several times, divided into dozens of pieces, and were killed in less than two or three minutes.

The cavalry battalion, which was pulled out, quickly rested and organized.

One thousand,500 wounded soldiers were soon sent to the battlefield hospital behind. When the cavalry battalion was reorganized, the artillery of the Shandong Army began to shell the Qing army's infantry formation.

Under the successive artillery bombardment, the 60,000 Qing army infantry quickly fell into chaos.
