In ancient times, commanding night battles was a headache for any general.

It is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the communication is inconvenient at night. If you are not careful, it may cause great chaos. Therefore, many generals try to avoid night battles.

Especially for the one who already has the advantage, there is no need to take such risks.

However, at this time, Ajige, while taking advantage, launched a night battle against the Ming army.

Because Li Guo's troops were trapped in a narrow area, there was no risk of the Qing army's night battle.

At this time, in order to eliminate and capture the Qing army at the old Jiangkou as soon as possible, the Qing army was attacking the Ming army from three directions under the cover of artillery.

"Boom boom boom!" The Qing army's artillery formation and artillery roared.

In the dark night, the red cannons flashed with artillery flames, and shells whizzed through the air and smashed on the beach. Sand and stones splashed, and the surrounding Ming army defeated them immediately.

On the beach, there were broken limbs and broken legs, splashing everywhere, and there were slaughtering bodies everywhere, and there were wailing soldiers.

What does it feel like if more than ten kilograms of shells hit the body? The Ming soldiers had no chance to speak.

Under the shelling of the Qing army, the river beaches and the port were in a mess, with large areas of soldiers crowded together, and there was no place to hide. Without a single shot, they suffered heavy losses.

When the Red Barbarians were shelling, the Qing soldiers were rushing towards the outer front of the Ming army like crazy, further compressing the space for the Ming army's defeated soldiers.

For a moment, near the old river mouth on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the sound of cannons rumbled, and the flames flashed red in the sky.

The Ming and Qing armies fought fiercely at night, and the Qing army gradually compressed the activity space of the defeated soldiers. It won't take long before more than 100,000 defeated soldiers would be eliminated by the Qing army.

On the hills outside the battlefield, Azig rode a war horse and stood on the top of the mountain, like a wolf king, watching his wolves hunting.

Looking at the Ming army's circle on the battlefield, the Qing army was suppressed smaller and smaller, Ajige couldn't help but smile and said proudly: "How?"

His smile was for Hong Chengchou, and his words were also for Hong Chengchou to listen to.

Hong Chengchou said, "Prince, when the army is attacking at night, I'm afraid Nanban will not remain indifferent when it is so loud!"

"What are you afraid of when you defeated your general? Come on, come on." Azig chuckled.

Hong Chengchou lowered his posture and said, "Prince, you should defeat these remaining soldiers quickly!"

Ajige looked unhappy, but Hong Chengchou made sense. After all, the Zhejiang navy was the one on the river, and he had to deal with Li Guo before Zhao Ming took action.

Ajige raised his whip and was about to give an order. A loud "boom" suddenly appeared on the dark river surface. White light burst out on the river surface, illuminating the outline of a warship. Then a shell rushed out from the rising white light and landed on the periphery of the Ming army.

A loud "boom" sounded loudly, and a violent explosion exploded among the Qing soldiers' strokes, and the surrounding soldiers were immediately thrown away.

The Qing soldiers who were attacking stopped attacking and Ajige's face suddenly changed.

"It's a flower bullet!" Azig exclaimed.

The flowering bullet was used very early in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Lao Nu Nurhaci was injured by the flowering bullet and died in the end.

Although Zhao Ming blocked the news of the Flowering Bulletin, as long as this weapon appears on the battlefield, it will not take long to be known to the other party.

After Zhao Ming used the flowering bullet in Zhenjiang, he fled to Nanjing with tens of thousands of defeated soldiers. The Qing Dynasty also learned about the flowering bullet and passed it on to Ajige.

Ajige had seen the flowering bullets in the Ming Dynasty before, but thought it was actually quite common, and thought it was He Tengjiao's incompetence. In order to shirk responsibility, he deliberately exaggerated the effect of the flowering bullets.

At this time, a shot hit and the explosion shattered, and Ajig was shocked.

On the river, several Ming army artillery ships lined up, and the guns on the side roared in turn, and shells leaped over the heads of the Ming army and smashed into the Qing army formation.

The Qing army, which was attacking fiercely, was immediately bombed and overturned.

Li Guo, who was commanding the Ming army soldiers, was stunned when he saw the Qing army in front of him being thrown away in the explosion.

He looked back in disbelief and looked at the river. He saw Zhejiang military warships pouring shells onto the shore with full firepower.

Seeing this, Li Guo was excited and immediately jumped up, roaring with a knife: "The Musket Team shoots me!"

The Ming soldiers were suppressed by the Qing army just now and could not raise their heads. They immediately picked up muskets and shot them. Amid the "bang bang" gunshots, knocking down the Qing army.

The Ming army archers bent their bows and strings, and the arrows fell like locusts. The Qing soldiers who were bombarded by artillery shells and were shot by muskets and bows were immediately retreated like a tide.

On the hill, Azig was shocked and immediately said furiously: "Architecture, fight back against me!"

Hong Chengchou said anxiously: "Prince, use cavalry!"

However, Ajige hesitated for a while. The cavalry were all elite Manchu and Mongolian. As we all know, over the years, the Eight Banners of Manchus have suffered heavy losses and have not recovered to this day.

After the internal coup of the Qing Dynasty, Ajige relied on the two white flags left by Dorgun and Duoduo. If the two white flags suffered heavy losses, it would inevitably affect Ajige's status in the Qing court.

Seeing the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, Ajige was a little hesitant and was unwilling to let the two white flags take risks.

Hong Chengchou said anxiously: "Prince, the navy on the river fired a cannon, which means that Zhao Zamao took action. Nanban will send ships to meet Li Guo at any time. Now, we must take advantage of the ship not coming, and send cavalry to directly defeat the defeated soldiers and drive the defeated soldiers into the river."

When Ajige heard the words, he was confused, and at this moment, countless ships on the river came from the south.

More than a hundred Zhejiang Navy warships were in front, and behind were cargo ships from merchants from Jiangnan, grain ships on the canal, and even pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River.

At this time, Li Guo and the Ming army on the shore looked back at the river and saw countless starry ships, each of whom could not help but cry.

A Zhejiang military warship approached the old Jiangkou wharf, and the sailors put down the boat ladder. The Zhejiang military commander on the ship immediately shouted: "Brothers of the Imperial Guard, get on the ship quickly!"

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, the defeated soldiers immediately cheered.

Seeing this, Ajige on the hill saw this, his face grimly, gritted his teeth and roared, "Send the cavalry to charge me!"

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the Qing cavalry gathered on the periphery immediately pulled out their horse reins and roared and charged.

On the river surface, the Zhejiang Navy warship immediately fired artillery to stop it. The shells exploded among the galloping cavalry, splashing mud pillars. The Qing cavalry was constantly thrown away during the explosion, and the war horses and cavalry rolled on the ground, splashing pieces of mud.

However, the cannons were fired slowly. After firing one shot, the Qing cavalry quickly climbed over the hills, crossed the obstacles that had been destroyed by the infantry, and rushed towards the defeated soldiers. Once the cavalry rushed in, the cannons on the river would not dare to fire.
