The Ming army in the trenches was like hiding in a protective cover. They fought against the Qing army, but the Qing army could not defeat them.

Moreover, the Qing army's clamps were not as easy to operate as their flintlock guns, and they had a great advantage as soon as they confronted each other.

It was getting dark yet, and the Qing army half groped and half scrambled forward.

From time to time, Qing soldiers fell down. They covered their stomachs in pain and rolled on the mud, but they would not win even a look at their companions.

Everyone's mood is basically the same, that is, they are rushing forward regardless of everything.

This is not because they are so brave, but because they know that fear will fill their bodies as long as they stop.

Of course, the soldiers in the trench would not show mercy to these Qing soldiers.

In their eyes, these Qing soldiers are devils and villains who harm the elderly, weak, women and children.

How can such a great evil person live in this world?

There is no need for His Majesty and the King of Jin to mobilize them, they will use all their strength.

As more and more Qing soldiers fell, fear gradually spread in the air.

The battle itself is not scary, the terrible thing is that you can't see your opponent at all.

It’s just that I have enough energy but can’t do it. This feeling is so desperate.

"Continue to rush forward, don't stop, the thief must be hiding in the dark!"

The Qing generals naturally did not know that the Ming army had dug trenches, and only felt that the Ming army was ambushing the woods as bunkers.

The Qing soldiers didn't know whether they believed what the general said or were deliberately numbing themselves, but they tried their best and continued to rush forward without caring about anything.

"oops!"

"Ouch!"

During the charge, many Qing soldiers were trapped in a pit.

Of course this was not an accident, but the Ming army did it intentionally.

When they were digging the trenches, they made some small pits in front of the trenches.

These pits cannot serve as a cover, but they can make people fall into pieces and eat mud.

It is not impossible to fall into these small pits and break your feet while charging at high speed.

The Ming army did not have any sympathy, and seized the opportunity and shot at the Qing soldiers.

The wailing sounds came one after another, and the woods became a nightmare for the Qing army.

Hong Chengchou in the distance naturally noticed something strange.

I thought it was a crushing victory, but why did so many changes suddenly occur?

Is it said that the fight between trapped beasts is so fierce?

If you think about it carefully, you can only explain it by fighting the trapped beasts.

"Jinluo Hong, do you think you should send extra staff?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Tianjue hurriedly suggested.

Otherwise, if I really can't beat him and ask someone to take the blame, then the blame will be tightly placed on him.

"If you double the person, this wise man will eat this Ming army in one bite."

Hong Chengchou felt that the number of people was still not enough, so he ordered Hu Quancai: "Don't be stingy at this time. As long as you have to compensate you for as much as possible except Yongli."

Hu Quancai's face turned red when he heard this. Hong Chengchou saw these little abacuses clearly.

Yes, he really has the intention to preserve his strength. After all, if too many people die, he, the governor of Huguang, will not look good, and his voice will decline greatly.

But since Hong Chengchou said this, he naturally couldn't be pretentious anymore and immediately said, "Sir, obey the order."

Oboi was not in a hurry at all. It was still early for him to come out. When these green camp soldiers could not bear it, or if the victory was decided, he rushed out and cleaned up the mess.

The former can get a name that turns the tide, while the latter can get the credit without any effort. Isn’t it beautiful?

From Hong Chengchou's perspective, he naturally didn't want the battle to drag on.

The longer it takes, the more possibilities there are.

What Hong Chengchou has to do now is to suffocate the Ming army directly and leave no room for anything.

...

...

"Your Majesty, the Donglu has sent more people."

Seeing that the number of Qing soldiers doubled, Li Dingguo immediately reported to Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang naturally noticed this, but he was not panicked at all.

According to theory, after the trenches are dug, no matter how many enemy troops are charged, they will not affect the defense of the trenches.

Unless the enemy cooperates with land and air bombing.

But the Qing army now obviously cannot do this.

So what Ming army had to do was to prevent this path.

"Let the soldiers work harder. When the Qing army is defeated, I will personally work hard for them."

Zhu Youlang can't do much now, he can only twist the ropes wildly.

Now both sides are actually fighting for one breath, and whoever can bite will win the final victory.

When the order was passed to the trenches, the Ming soldiers all expressed their understanding.

No matter how many people there are, they can't even think about their level.

The Ming army, led by the Hu Ben Army, used the gap between the Qing army's charge to replace the ammunition and then shot mechanized and killed without any emotion.

In their opinion, shooting the Qing soldiers is as simple as killing chickens, the only thing is that they feel a little distressed about ammunition.

After this battle, the ammunition they brought may be at its bottom.

"Grenade Throw!"

Faced with more intense charges, the effect of throwing grenades is definitely better than that of shooting alone.

With Li Shitou's order, Ming soldiers threw the grenades in their hands one after another.

The grenade drew a wonderful arc in the air and then exploded among the Qing army.

The huge power directly blows many Qing soldiers away, and their broken limbs and arms are scattered all over the ground.

Some Qing soldiers were seriously injured by the bombing but were not immediately killed. They rolled on the ground in pain, and their hearts were praying for the pleasure of the incoming people.

The smell of burnt corpse permeates the air and makes people feel sick.

The Ming soldiers continued to throw grenades without any sympathy.

Although the power of this thing is not as powerful as that of artillery, it is also extremely harmful in dense crowds.

The Qing soldiers were all over the place, and even those who survived by chance were scared to death. They did not dare to charge again for a short time until they were targeted by soldiers from the military and legal team, and had no choice but to step forward again.

Since the Ming army was also in the woods, the soldiers did not dare to throw incendiary bombs, otherwise they would really want to use the incendiary bombs to teach these enemy soldiers a lesson.

The more Qing soldiers charged, the more they died. All the Ming soldiers had to do was throw out the grenades.

Seeing this, Hu Quancai felt something was wrong and hurriedly rushed to Hong Chengchou and said, "Hong Jingluo, the firearms used by Ming Thief are far stronger than us. We may suffer heavy losses in such a strong attack."

Hong Chengchou raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Tell me carefully."

"Jiangluo Hong, not long ago, an official from Yongli was named Lu Guisheng, who brought a lot of news about Yongli and the Ming army. Among them, the advanced firearms used by the Ming army, such as flintlock guns, and grenades were very sharp. He reminded the officials to be careful."

Hong Chengchou said with a stern face: "Since that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Hu Quancai said aggrievedly: "The lower-ranking general Hong Jingluo is full of energy, so it is not easy to discourage your excitement. Besides, the lower-ranking general also forgot about this for a while."
