    "Yingzheng, the Tartars have left the city!"

    Yang Zhenqing was immediately excited: "It's just in time! The whole army lined up, and the first, second, and third teams stepped forward, holding long spears to prevent the Han slaves from rushing forward. The fourth team shot arrows at the open space in front of the formation, scaring away the Han slaves.  The rest of the guards, all raise their guns to fight!"

    The gate of the city opened, and Dopolo led the team out on horseback, raised his knife and shouted: "I have seen it with a telescope, and the opposite side has not yet installed a matchlock, so hurry up and rush over!"

    The flintlock guns have already been installed in Liaodong. The dragoons of the three divisions have all been reequipped, and the infantry has also been reequipped with thousands of them.

    However, they were all small-scale conflicts, and the flintlock hadn't shown its power yet, so it didn't attract the attention of the Eight Banners Army for the time being.  They are just old-fashioned flintlocks, with a frighteningly high misfire rate, which is not as good as an arquebus.

    When the Eight Banners Army came after them, the Han serfs were terrified and ran towards the Datong Army.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    Still dozens of steps away, the Independent Battalion fired sporadic arrows and landed on the open space in front of the formation.

    The Hannu who were running at the front saw the independent battalion shooting arrows, and hurriedly avoided to the sides, not daring to rush towards the independent battalion.  The Han slaves in the rear, driven by herd mentality, also ran to the two sides.

    "Pikeman, return to the array and replace the firecrackers!"

    The independent battalion is somewhat similar to special forces. Two hundred people use long guns and firecrackers, and three hundred people use bows, waist knives and firecrackers. They can switch between far and near combat forms at any time.

    The spearman in the front row, after throwing away the spear, quickly retreated to replace the gun.

    "Hollow array!"

    "One team, all of them. Look to the right, turn right, and walk!"

    "The second team, all of them have"

    "On the bayonet!"

    The grassroots commander blew his copper whistle, and five hundred soldiers quickly arranged in a hollow formation.  This is the first time that Zhao Han has used the hollow formation in actual combat since he proposed the hollow formation, which is dedicated to infantry against cavalry.

    Fortunately, there were few people, and the small hollow formation was formed quickly, otherwise it would take a long time to form the formation.

    Taking advantage of the cover of the Han slaves, the Manchu and Qing cavalry quickly crossed the bridge and spread out while the Datong army formed an formation.

    When Duopolo saw the loose formation of the Datong Army, he immediately laughed out loud.  He ordered the cavalry to completely disperse and outflank, and use a small number of cavalry to lure the Datong army to shoot, and then charge directly, such a formation will definitely collapse as soon as they charge.

    Although this guy is greedy for life and afraid of death, he has been battle-tested and has rich combat experience.

    Empiricism kills people!

    Although the independent battalion has fewer soldiers, there are even fewer Manchurian cavalry in Xiuyan City.  After being ambushed last time, more than a hundred war horses were lost. Although there were bannermen to replenish them on the spot, the war horses could not be replaced immediately.  Now there are only two hundred riders in total, and many of them are mounted infantry.

    Duopolo should wait for the infantry to follow, and then cooperate with the attack on foot and cavalry, but the hollow formation of the Datong Army is too tempting.

    About twenty or thirty riders rushed from several directions, trying to lure the independent battalion to shoot.

    Yang Zhenqing yelled: "If there is no order, don't fire the gun!"

    A small army of hundreds of people was eliminated with one voice, and everyone heard it.

    Seeing that the Datong Army was indifferent, Duopolo could only change his tactics.  He called back all the cavalry, gave up the four-sided attack, and only aimed at three directions, and carried out wave-like echelon charges.

    The first wave of charge attracts firepower, and the latter two waves of charge will be effective.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The cavalry of the first wave charged, rushed to about forty steps, and ushered in the front row of the independent battalion to shoot.  Due to the slightly longer distance, the cavalry formation was sparse, and more than two-thirds of the cavalry survived.

    After the first row of salvos, he did not retreat, and squatted down to fill the ammunition.

    The second row of firecrackers fired a volley. After the distance was close, the hit rate increased greatly this time.

    The third row of fire guns fired immediately, and after a row of guns, the Manchu cavalry who charged first, only a dozen or so cavalry were still alive, and the second wave of Manchu cavalry also suffered a lot of casualties.

    The Manchu cavalry who rushed to the finish line did not hit directly, but decelerated in advance and walked around the formation.

    Three rows of glaring bayonets stood there, and the horses were not stupid, so it was impossible to hit them unless the horses' eyes were blindfolded.

    Dopolo used cavalry to attack the hollow formation, but he didn't think about knocking the hollow formation apart.  But if the cavalry rushed over, the gunfire soldiers would collapse in fright, which should be the case under normal circumstances.

    However, the flintlocks could be arranged densely, and bayonets were also added.

    It is different from the matchlock gun, and it is also different from the one without the bayonet.

    Seeing that the first two groups of cavalry suffered heavy losses, the third group of cavalry stopped halfway through the charge.  Because it is useless to rush over, the horse will automatically go around the formation, and the soldiers and soldiers in frontsp; What Yang Zhenqing has to do is to raise the binoculars and stand at the top to observe the battle situation.  When they found that there was a possibility of being surrounded, they immediately blew the whistle, and the grassroots officers would lead the soldiers and slowly approach him.

    After fighting for two full hours, more than 80 Manchu soldiers died, but they couldn't even catch Mao of the Datong Army.

    "Dutong, withdraw!"

    The soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were already miserable. The independent battalion wore leather armor, but they wore cotton armor, and their physical exertion was different.  Many bannermen did not have cotton armor, but they walked very lightly, but they were even more frightened, after all, they had never been on a battlefield, and they only practiced martial arts at home.

    ? Dopolo was caught in a dilemma, and if he did not inflict serious damage on the Independent Battalion, he would be 100% dismissed.  You can continue to chase, and I was walked by the independent camp again.

    "Withdraw!"

    Dopoluo gritted his teeth and said, "Those southern barbarians who are still alive will be hacked into pieces!"

    The Independence Battalion took several prisoners, all of whom were unable to retreat quickly without being shot dead when they formed a hollow formation.

    As soon as the Manchu pursuers retreated, Yang Zhenqing bit up again, kicking the enemy's buttocks and firing.

    Dopoluo was very angry and ordered to continue fighting. As a result, the independent battalion retreated while fighting.

    Really lost his temper, Duopolo led the troops down the mountain quickly.  After leaving the mountains, more than 190 people have lost their lives in the mountains.

    At this moment, the Qing army only has more than 60 cavalry, 800 infantry, and 100 infantry defending the city.

    The most important thing is that those bannermen who were temporarily recruited couldn't hold on psychologically.  Fighting this kind of battle as soon as you go to the battlefield, for the new recruits, it is easy to fall into a state of fear of the enemy.
