Zhang Cheng galloped on his horse and saw more than ten Tatars cruising in the southeast from a distance. He waved the three-eyed blunderbuss in a circle in the air and pointed forward with all his strength. The knights beside him quickly stepped up and urged their horses to run wildly. .

Their target was the Tatar brigade in front of the stone bridge in the south. They would not miss a major event just because of these ten Tatars. Zhang Cheng and others galloped into a slightly low-lying wasteland, and the front was full of knee-deep grass. , swinging with the wind.

When Zhang Cheng and others rode up from the low-lying wasteland, he found the Qing army's archers less than 400 steps ahead, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, kill the Tatars, kill the slaves. "

At a distance of four hundred steps, the war horses started running with all their strength. According to the current time, they would arrive in less than a minute. As they galloped, the three-eyed blunderbuss was already raised. Zhang Cheng shouted loudly to remind: "Three-eyed blunderbuss." , break the formation and kill the slaves!"

Suddenly, nearly a hundred light arrows were fired towards them. Zhang Cheng and other soldiers hurriedly lowered their heads slightly and used their helmets to block the light arrows fired by the Qing army, but the speed of the men and horses did not slow down.

"Bang...bang bang..."

"Bang...bang...bang..."

Zhang Cheng was the first to shoot the three-eyed gun in his hand. A Qing army auxiliary who should have been wearing cotton armor without iron leaves shot out from his chest and raised a cloud of blood arrows in the air.

The explosions of the three-eyed guns continued. With the explosions, the fire flashed and the white mist rose. The Qing soldiers fell one by one, their faces twisted in a ferocious way, rolling on the ground and wailing repeatedly.

Especially the rear sentry led by Hu Dake. They galloped along the Liangshui River embankment and were ahead of Zhang Cheng's troops. More than 200 of their horses rode between the stone bridge and the Qing army, following the Qing army's archer array. The knight on the side fired more than forty three-eyed muskets one after another at a distance of twenty or thirty steps.

Leaving a piece of white smoke on the official road behind the stone bridge, together with more than ten Qing soldiers lying down and wailing, they rushed to the south of the official road. As soon as they reached the official road, they began to slow down, turned around and reorganized the team more than a hundred steps away, and in an instant they were back again. Riding the horse back.

This time they lined up in a long line, holding either three-eyed blunderbuss or long knives, axes and maces, forming a large semicircle and approaching the panicked Qing archers on the official road.

On the other side, Zhang Cheng also led his personal guards and right sentry to break through the Qing army's archer formation, and was reorganizing a hundred steps south of the official road. From a distance, he could see that the left sentry led by Zhang Guangda had just passed by. They seemed to have gone through some fighting. Breaking through the Qing army's bow formation, some knights were covered in blood.

A few more people clearly fell behind the cavalry and no longer participated in the counterattack. Instead, they rode away to collect the scattered Tatar horses and mules.

Tong Shoushan jumped onto the stone bridge and swung his mace-toothed stick to hit him hard. He knocked over two heavy armored infantrymen of the Qing army. Suddenly, he saw a tall and majestic Qing army rushing towards him. His face was covered with big stubble. , wearing a black cherry hat and helmet, with a Fendebo Shiku flag on his back, and a half-moon ax in his hand, which was stabbed diagonally to chop off Tong Shoushan's head.

Chen Dakuan had just rushed forward, and hurriedly used his long ax to lift it upwards. He took another step forward, raised his foot and vigorously kicked the shield held by Fende Bashiku in his left hand.

The Fende Bashiku did not move at all, but was so shocked that Chen Dakuan took two steps back. Fortunately, he was helped by a sergeant who had just rushed up, and he stabilized his body and stopped retreating.

Tong Shoushan swung his mace club and hit Fende Bashiku's shield hard. The shield in Fende Bashiku's hand immediately cracked, and the man stepped back, knocking over two people. Qing army cloth armor.

He barely stood up, his face was as red as blood, and a big mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out. Just as Tong Shoushan quickly chased after him, it sprayed all over his face. He quickly stepped back, holding a mace in his right hand. He swung his hand in front of him and wiped his face with his left hand, only to see the Qing army's Pashiku rushing over again.

At this time, Chen Dakuan happened to rush forward again, and he hit Fendebo Shiku with his big ax on his head. He held the half-moon ax in both hands and raised it in the air. There was a loud "bang" sound, and the long ax was struck. After knocking back, the two sergeants next to him pierced him with their spears, piercing his ribs. Unexpectedly, they could not penetrate the armor on his body, and the spear points were stuck between the two layers of armor.

Then Fende Bashiku ignored the two spears and ran straight towards Tong Shoushan. He held the half-moon ax in both hands and was about to hit it. Tong Shoushan held the mace club tightly in both hands and tried his best to hit It thrust out from the front and hit Fendepo Shiku's chest, unable to push him.

Seeing this, Chen Dakuan hurriedly dropped his long ax and ran up, helping Tong Shoushan push forward. The two of them exerted their strength at the same time, and just when they were able to withstand the Fende Bashiku, he pushed him back a step.

Zuo Qinghe, the officer of Team A under Tong Shoushan, saw the stalemate here and rushed over quickly. He hit Fendebo Shiku's left leg with a big stick in his hand. He only heard a "thump" sound, which was obviously a leg bone. After being struck off, he knelt on one knee with a pop, blood seeping out from between his legs.

The Fende Pa Shiku was in pain and shouted "Ah!". The half-moon ax in his hand came down from top to bottom and hit the middle part of Tong Shoushan's mace. The shock caused Tong Shoushan's tiger's mouth to split open and blood flowed out. The mace fell directly to the ground.

He rushed forward and threw Fende Bashiku down, but he was not as strong as Fende Bashiku. He was knocked over by him, and in turn he pushed Tong Shoushan to the ground.

When Chen Dakuan and Zuo Qinghe saw this, they hurriedly rushed forward. Chen Dakuan kicked Fendepo Shiku first, but did not kick him. Zuo Qinghe hit Fendepo Shiku with his stick, hitting him in the back, and another large mouthful of blood spattered from him. In Tong Shoushan's head and face.

Blood choked Tong Shoushan's trachea, but his neck was grabbed tightly by Fende Bashiku, and he couldn't cough it out. He was holding it in unbearably, and his face was red with blood.

Chen Dakuan exerted all his strength and kicked him again. The Tatar Shiku was knocked over by this kick. He pushed hard with his feet to get up, but Chen Dakuan pounced on him and fell on top of him.

Zuo Qinghe swung the stick again and was about to smash it down when he saw Chen Dakuan rushing forward. He quickly put the stick back and rushed towards the other Qing troops. The two who just stabbed the Tatar with spears were divided into two parts. The sergeant rushed up at this time, and together with Chen Dakuan, they pressed on Fende Bashiku, crushing him to death.

Zhang Yan led his Chinese cavalry sentry to the stone bridge first. The two armies were fighting fiercely on the bridge. The Ming army had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, but the bridge was only three feet wide and the Qing army could not use it when attacking. Now the Ming army is facing the same problem in its counterattack.

Zhang Yan took the bow in his hand, drew a heavy arrow and put it on the bow. The bow string made a "squeak" sound, and the arrow flew away with a "swish" sound, hitting a Qing infantry soldier in the throat.

He shouted loudly again: "Lin Zhiyi, dismount and fight on foot, rush through the middle. Kill the slave!"

After Lin Zhiyi received the order, he turned over and dismounted and shouted loudly: "Dismount, form a long formation in three columns, target the middle of the stone bridge, attack, and kill the slaves!"

He holds a shield in his left hand and a short ax in his right hand. He stands at the head of the formation. The sergeants on the sentry line are arranged in three columns behind him. On both sides, they hold shields in their left hands and short weapons in their right hands. The middle column contains long weapons. .

Led by Lin Zhiyi, they shouted and rushed forward.
