As soon as the sky was dawn the next day, the Ming army launched a large-scale counterattack on the Qing army opposite the Dagukou Fortress.

The sound of artillery roared, and two first-class battleships, three second-class battleships, eight third-class battleships and twelve fourth-class frigates spit out flames. The overwhelming artillery shells roared over the Dagukou Fortress where the Ming army was stationed, and smashed them down towards the Qing army camp three miles away.

With the cannon technology of this era, long-distance shooting will definitely not be able to use flowering shells. Because the chamber pressure that can withstand is much lower than that of solid shells, the range of flowering shells is much closer, and the farthest can only be about one mile.

To launch artillery bombardment on targets three miles away, except for low-combustion mortars that can use flowering shells, general naval guns can only be bombarded with solid shells.

However, hundreds of cannons on more than ten warships bombarded one after another. Even if they were fired, they were still very destructive to the Qing army's camp. The whistling shells pulled out a low and straight curve, passed over the Ming army fortress at Dagukou, and landed in the Qing army camp. The shells hit the wooden fences of the Qing army camp, and only a sound of wood shattering, and the wooden fences of the Qing army camp were broken one after another; the shells flew into the Qing army camp and bounced and rolled, and the hit tent collapsed like rags.

Several shells hit the stable, and the wooden pillars tied with war horses were crushed to pieces. The horses in the stable lost their restraints and rushed out of the stable one after another. Some horses were directly hit by shells while running, and were immediately beaten into a scattered piece of blood and minced flesh.

The shells kept landing in the Qing army camp, causing screams in the Qing army camp. Wherever the shells passed, human body fragments and broken limbs continued to fly into the sky. The entire Qing army camp was in chaos. Whether it was the Eight Banners soldiers or the Green Camp soldiers, they all hated their parents for giving birth to two less legs and ran away.

Under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, the Qing army's formation was in chaos and the army was defeated.

"Kill!" Zhao Peng pulled out his sword and pointed forward.

The gate of the Dagukou Fortress Village was wide open, and groups of Ming New Army infantry wearing red tops, black hats, black pants, and black boots were arranged in neat formations. Accompanied by rhythmic drum beats, they walked out of the open camp gate and walked towards the Qing army formation in neat steps.

All the new soldiers stood up straight and solemnly, holding smoothbore guns in their hands. All grassroots officers holding flag guns stood on the right side of the queue, restraining their soldiers, and waiting for the orders of their superiors.

The new army infantry had almost cancelled their armor. Although the line infantry holding smoothbore guns had a range of only fifty steps and needed to enter the range of Qing archers to queue up to open fire, the Ming New Army had scattered soldiers and could deal with archers.

Just as the formation of the red-clothed infantry was advancing towards the Qing army camp, a large number of scattered soldiers in green uniforms had already set off. They rushed towards the Qing army camp in two or three. When they were three hundred steps away from the Qing army camp, they stopped moving forward, picked up the rifled rifled rifles in their hands, aimed at various targets and pulled the trigger.

Although the Qing army had cavalry that poses great threat to scattered soldiers, the scattered soldiers rely on the infantry phalanx and artillery, and the Kangliff rockets behind them have been prepared. Once the Qing cavalry appears, the artillery rockets will take the lead in attacking, so the scattered soldiers can shoot a few rounds of cold guns with great pleasure, and they will retreat until the infantry phalanx advances.

On the other hand, a large number of bird gunners and archers had cannons behind the Qing army, which seemed to be the case. However, the two sides not only had generation differences in weapons, but also tactical generation differences. With a modern army with a ability to withstand casualties of more than 50% of casualties, it was a one-sided crushing against a feudal army with less than 10% of casualties.

When the Qing army was busy, they saw scattered green men running towards them with their waists. Seeing this scene, the Qing soldiers felt confused: it was obvious that those green camp soldiers must be musketeers, but their formation was simply described as a mess, and they could be said to be fighting alone.

On the battlefield, soldiers without formations are just mobs, and it is impossible to threaten their opponents.

Just when the Qing soldiers were shocked, the "bang bang bang" was not very densely sounded.

Although the gunfire was not very dense, in a blink of an eye, many archers and gunners fell from the Qing army. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred people fell down.

The Qing army with more than 100,000 troops killed was less than one thousandth of the loss, and there was no injury at all. However, the serious problem was that the Ming army scattered soldiers opened fire, killing more than 100 Qing soldiers, resulting in the bird gunners, archers and gunners in the Qing army's formation firing violently at the direction of the Ming army's scattered soldiers.

The range of bows and arrows is only 150 steps at most, and the range of bird guns is closer. Although the Qing army cannons have a longer range, solid shells have no effect on the scattered green-clothed soldiers.

The Qing army shot violently, and hundreds of green camp soldiers were unscathed and calmly loaded bullets. After completing the loading, another round of shooting was made to make the Qing soldiers in the front row overturn.

"Quick, stop shooting!" Qing general Ebilong shouted anxiously. He knew that the firearm loading speed was slow, and now the Qing army fired empty guns for nothing. After a while, the Ming army came up, and their firearm soldiers were waiting for the beating. Although the archers fired fast, they consumed a lot of physical strength. After ordinary archers shot ten arrows, they could no longer continue to shoot arrows.

But it was too late. The Qing soldiers who were shooting randomly could not hear Ebilong's shouts. Everyone was shooting desperately at their opponents. The bird gunner was busy loading bullets; the archers kept firing arrows.

Seeing a few hundred green-clothed Ming army dared to challenge their formation. Ebilong wanted to order the Eight Banners cavalry to attack, but he thought for a moment and held back, which prevented the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry from being devastated.

At this moment, the Ming army's four 4,000 infantry formations had already been pressed up, leaving only one hundred steps away from the Qing army formation.

However, the Ming army in red did not fire, but under the command of grassroots officers, they took neat steps step by step and pressed towards the Qing army formation. The four square formations of more than 16,000 people put great pressure on the Qing army. The loaded Qing army bird gunners flew out in panic, and the archers also shot archers randomly.

The distance between a hundred steps, the bird gun can be said to be without lethality. Although the light arrows shot by the archer can cause certain losses to the Ming army's infantry, the light arrows are not very lethal at about a hundred steps. A few Ming army were injured by arrows, but the slightly injured Ming army still continued to advance in an orderly manner. After the seriously injured Ming army fell, his position was immediately pushed up.

The Ming army advanced step by step, from one hundred steps to fifty steps, and a short distance of fifty steps was soon arrived.

Seeing that the Ming army had entered within fifty steps, the Qing army's bird gunners and gunners became even more nervous, and their hands loading the ammunition became even more panicked. Some people were shaking their hands and scattering the gunpowder on the ground. Some people had loaded the ammunition and forgot to hang the fuse, some people forgot to pull out the strips, and some people forgot to sprinkle the lead-in medicine into the medicine pool.

There were only fifty steps left on both sides, but the Ming army did not open fire and continued to advance in an orderly manner.

"What is Mingdog going to do?" Ebilong said in amazement.
