In front of the Ming army's chariots, Qing army corpses were stacked layer by layer, blood staining the earth red. The ownerless war horses plucked the horse's hooves next to the cavalry's corpses and neighed sadly.

The charge of the two Han flag troops was completely failed. The light cavalry failed to disrupt the formation, and the heavy cavalry naturally could not drive the formation. The cavalry that rushed to the formation was stopped by the formation. The cavalry lost their speed. The cavalry with tall and large horses became targets. They were stabbed to death by spears, fired by muskets, bombarded by cannons, and piled up bodies, which was shocking.

Under the banner of the Great Crown, Zhao Ming looked around and saw that there were all human corpses and horse corpses on the ground, most of which were killed by flintlock fissures. The bodies were covered with large blood holes. The two retreating Qing troops rode war horses, dragged weapons and flags, and retreated in a hurry.

In this battle, it was estimated that at least 2,000 people were killed or injured by the Qing army, but the Ming army suffered minimal losses, with less than 200 people being burned and shot.

This exchange ratio surprised Zhao Ming, who did not expect that his troops had become more modern.

Although the other parts of Donghai Town are also equipped with bird guns, bows, arrows, and spears, as Zhao Ming's guard, Shence Central Army has eliminated bird guns, all equipped with flintlock muskets and field guns, which is not much different from the modern British army's equipment.

"Master General, the Qing army retreated!" Xie Qian's face turned red with excitement.

The army of Donghai Town in Shandong is far inferior to the Shence Army in terms of equipment and training. The Shence Central Army is Zhao Ming's personal guardian army. The only army of the five armies is equipped with flintlock muskets, various artillery and firearms.

Therefore, the soldiers of Donghai Town in Shandong Wei naturally cannot be compared with the Shence Central Army.

A few months ago, Xie Qian was still on the coast of Shandong and was suppressed by the Qing army. Tens of thousands of Shandong guards died or surrendered under the attack of the Qing army, but he only brought less than a thousand people to Jiangnan with the navy.

The failure in Shandong made Xie Qian once think that the Qing army was still quite powerful, but when he saw the scene in front of him, Xie Qian was shocked.

Looking at the corpses of the Eight Banners soldiers all over the ground, Xie Qian knew for the first time that the Eight Banners soldiers could actually kill them like this.

When Zhao Ming saw the Qing army retreating in the wild, there was no expression on his face, and there was no joy or anger. Instead, he waved calmly: "When the Qing army retreated, immediately treat the wounded, re-arrange the defense, and throw away the caltrops!"

The Qing army suffered a lot of losses in this attack just now, but they also found out the tricks of Donghai Town. Mandahai could not lose in one go, so he gave up the opportunity to encircle and annihilate Zhao Ming. Therefore, Zhao Ming judged that Mandahai would attack again after a little rest.

At this time, the Ming army doctors carried the wounded away to treat the treatment. The Ming army team ran out of the passage and came to the chariot formation. They straightened the Qing cavalry's stake that had been pulled over by the horse, and sprinkled caltrops in front of the chariot formation again.

"Master, look!" Ding Weiyue suddenly shouted.

When Zhao Ming heard the sound, he saw that the Qing cavalry from Zhenghong and Zhenghuang flags had not yet rushed back to his original formation, more than ten thousand Qing troops rushed over!

The Qing army's attack was much earlier than Zhao Ming expected. Mandahai seemed to have made up his mind to destroy him, even if it was to use human life to fill it, it would be spared.

"Hmph, I will depend on how many lives you have to fill it!" Zhao Ming saw this and immediately shouted: "Hurry up, withdraw!"

The Ming soldiers who were sprinkling iron caltrops outside the chariot formation and rearranging the horse-rejecting piles, heard the sound of the central army's golden sounds, looked up and saw thousands of hooves trampling on the earth, and immediately gave up the work at hand and hurriedly retreated to the formation.

Just now, the Qing army suffered huge losses and destroyed some of the fortifications outside the Ming army's chariot formation. If the Ming army was re-arranged, the Qing army would have to lie down again and die thousands of people. Mandahai did not want to give Zhao Ming a breath and time to arrange it again, so the previous wave had not completely retreated, and the new wave rushed over again.

At this time, Mandahai was desperate and ordered the Qing army to launch a continuous charge against the Ming army, and to wipe out Zhao Ming.

However, the Ming soldiers first saw hundreds of cavalry of Zhao Ming, rushing left and right in the Qing army formation, boosting their morale. After the battle just now, they became more courageous and were not afraid of the Qing army at all.

At this time, facing the overwhelming Qing cavalry, the Ming soldiers were orderly and calmly arranged new defenses.

As soon as the Qing cavalry entered the range, the Ming army artillery roared again on the canal. When the Qing army entered the range of muskets, the Ming army musketeers fired together.

After a row of muskets were shot, the Ming army musketeers handed the muskets to the rear, picked up new muskets, and continued to shoot. The Ming army soldiers who loaded them skillfully loaded medicine and tamped them, and their movements were almost uniform.

Previously, Zhao Ming was just a brave man in the battle. In addition to improving morale, he was as powerful as a king, and was unable to change the situation of the battle. At this time, the soldiers of Donghai Town, skilled movements and strict military formations were the true reliance and capital of Donghai Town to defeat the Qing army.

At this time, the Ming army soldiers were skillful in their movements, and faced the formation of the Qing army's cavalry, and were not panicked and loyal to their respective duties, which was enough to show that it was an elite matter.

At this time, amid the sound of gunfire, the battlefield smoke filled the battlefield, and the Ming army fired continuously, while the Qing army changed its strategy and did not attack the cavalry just now. Instead, they ran to the chariot formation, and then turned over and dismounted, fought in battle with shields, and raised their shields to rush towards the chariot formation.

The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing resounded throughout the whole day, and the city and rivers were flowing blood by the Grand Canal. The Qing army suffered heavy losses, with corpses piled up like mountains, and the Ming army also suffered thousands of casualties.

At night, the Qing army, who had been attacking for a whole day, finally couldn't stand it and retreated.

Generally speaking, the Ming army could not withstand the wheel battle of the Qing army, but fortunately, Donghai Town used a lot of muskets, and as long as the chamber was not blown up, they could continue shooting. It did not take too much energy and could fight for a long time. The Qing army was equipped with many bows and arrows, and the soldiers shot ten arrows in a row, and their arms were sore. After a day of fighting, the Qing army, which was a large number of people, could not bear it first and stopped the war.

At night, the Ming soldiers took out the formation of chariots and re-arranged defenses in preparation for the Qing army to attack tomorrow. The morale was high, but in the Qing army camp, Mandahai and others surrounded the fire, but they felt melancholy and bitter on their faces.

Geng Zhongming pulled the flint and sighed: "More than 8,000 people were reimbursed in one day, and this battle is beyond my reach!"

Kong Youde also sighed: "If we continue to fight like this, the 80,000 army will be terrible that few of them will be able to leave here. Please think twice!"

The huge casualties made Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming shaken their hearts, and they didn't want to fight, at least they didn't want their subordinates to join.

Mandahai gritted his teeth and said, "The Qing warriors have lost 8,000 people. How can I give up halfway? In this way, the army will surround him for a few days, and then rush to make equipment. When Zhao Za's long grain is gone, then launch an attack."

The next day, the Qing army suspended the attack and began to build equipment. They wanted to wait for the Ming army to run out of food, but Zhao Ming brought a large amount of money and food.

The Ming army soldiers not only had Taiwanese rice and bacon, but also dried fish from Zhoushan. The living conditions were much better than those of the Qing army who ate braised vegetables.

This made Mandahai and the Qing army extremely depressed. On August 15th, Zhao Ming had a festival in the army. The soldiers ate fish and meat, but the Qing army's food became anxious, causing the morale of the Qing army to be greatly relieved.

On the 20th, Mandahai led all the generals to circle around the Ming army's chariot formation, looking sad and sad.

Geng Zhong knew that he had the intention to retreat, so he said nothing, "Prince, although we can't eat Zhao Zamao, isn't Zhao Zamao helpless?"

Mandahai's muscles twitched on his face, and the 80,000 army suffered nearly 10,000 losses, but he could not take over Zhao Zamao, which made him feel embarrassed and angry. After hearing Geng Zhongming's words, he was even more angry.
