Less than two miles away from the sea, you can already see the beach and the small boats moored on the sea. But even if there is only two miles away, if no one cuts the back and is chased by the Qing army, you will suffer heavy losses.

"Wu Biao, you bring four thousand brothers to the beach, and I bring one thousand people to break the rear!" Zhang Shiwen shouted.

"Sir, I'll cut off the back."

"Fart! This is an order! Do you want to disobey?"

Wu Biao had no choice but to take 4,000 infantrymen and more than 300 Xu Liang's cavalry, spread his legs and ran to the beach quickly.

Zhang Shiwen led 1,000 infantrymen. Among these 1,000 infantry, three hundred long spearmen were blocked in the front, and seven hundred behind were firearm soldiers, including 630 bird gunners and 70 turtle dove-legged gunners. Six hundred and thirty bird gunners can shoot in seven rows, which can ensure continuous firepower. Seventy turtle dove-legged gunners can fire shotguns and exert their power.

A thousand infantrymen, like a moving fortress, slowly retreated and walked towards the seaside.

"Jiannu is here!" a chief flag officer shouted.

More than a thousand heavy cavalry of the Qing army and five hundred heavy infantry riding and horses rushed up. Seeing that there were only more than a thousand opponents and only three hundred spearmen, the Qing army did not take these Ming troops seriously at all.

Tulai roared: "Roar up! Kill all these hateful Nikanhan dogs!"

More than 500 heavy infantry riding horses of Qing army dismounted, took off their bows and arrows, and prepared to follow the cavalry to shoot arrows. One thousand heavy cavalry of Qing army had already begun to accelerate, and rushed towards the thin Ming army formation screaming.

Zhang Shiwenxuan's location is very good. On one side are rugged hills and on the other side are beach siding flats. Qing cavalry could not attack by the wayside, so they could only rush to the front. But Tu Lai was not afraid of rushing to the front. There were few opponents, and how could only 300 spearmen stop the charge of a thousand heavy cavalry? The musket soldiers behind? Humph! If the musket soldiers were useful, in the battle of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they would be like birds every time? In Tu Lai's eyes, the musket soldiers of the Ming army were just decorations, just for scaring people.

The speed of the heavy cavalry of the 1,000 Qing army had increased to the highest level, and four thousand iron hooves stepped on the ground, making a roar like a drum. The distance was getting closer and closer, and the Ming army soldiers could already see the opponent's hideous faces clearly.

A hundred steps away, no bird gunman fired. Everyone held their breath, aimed the muzzle in front, and the fuse was blushing with blue smoke.

Fifty steps away! Still no one opened fire!

At forty steps, Zhang Shiwen shouted: "Let me go!"

"Boom boom boom" The bird gunmen behind the spearmen pulled the trigger one after another, and the fuse pressed into the medicine pool, and the bird guns emitted a row of fire. Then white smoke spread out.

Ninety bird guns shot in straits, and the thick armor on the Qing army heavy cavalry that rushed over was pierced like paper, and blood mist spurted out from their chests. At least more than 30 cavalrymen were dismissed.

After the first row of bird gunners fired, they immediately stepped back and loaded gunpowder and projectiles. The second row of bird gunners took a step forward, aimed at the Qing cavalry, and pulled the trigger. Another row of roaring guns, dozens of Qing soldiers in front were dismissed. Then the third row of bird gunners went on, then the fourth row, the fifth row, and the seventh row, shot dense projectiles.

The person in front of the Qing cavalry had already bumped into the horse-resisting rifle inserted on the ground. Accompanied by the screams of people, the wailing sound of war horses, the breaking of gun bars and even the screams of soldiers. The horses with the cavalry on their backs, and in the slowing speed and even turning of fear, they used their flesh and blood to hit the spear forest. The huge inertia made their bodies instantly penetrate, and the same huge inertia also broke the barrel of gun bars and knocked over more than a dozen spearmen.

Some of the fierce Qing army heavy cavalry were pierced by war horses, and the people were fine. After they were dismounted, they immediately stood up and rushed up with their weapons waving their hands, but were blocked by the rows of long spears stabbed out from behind.

The Ming army's spearmen stabbed at the Qing soldiers rushing over. Although they could not pierce the double thick armor on the Qing soldiers, the bird gunman opened fire again and knocked the Qing soldiers blocked by the spears into a pool of blood in rows.

In front of the spear formation, the entire line line was covered with blood. The bodies of the Qing cavalry, the bodies of the Ming cavalry who were hit and killed, the bodies of the war horses, the broken spears and the wounded soldiers on both sides who were struggling and screaming, were piled up in front of the line line. The war horses and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides formed a hill, delaying the speed of the Qing cavalry behind.

The Qing cavalry could no longer rush, and they dismounted and fought, and it was impossible to kill the spearmen in seconds. The Ming army's spearmen's mission was not to output attacks, but to restrain the Qing soldiers and let the bird gunners behind them shoot continuously at close range with seven stages of fire.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" The heavy infantry of the Qing army shot a rain of arrows, and screams sounded from the crowd of bird gun soldiers, and many bird gun soldiers fell down. In order to facilitate the reload of ammunition, the bird gun soldiers did not wear long armor on their bodies, but were wearing half-body armor and their limbs without protection. The Qing army's arrows shot accurately and fiercely, and specifically aimed at the faces and limbs of bird gun soldiers to shoot arrows.

"Turdog-legged gun, aim at the Jiannu archer and release it!" Zhang Shiwen roared.

Seventy turtledove-legged gunmen set up large guns and pointed the Qing army archers who had rushed to fifty steps away to pull the trigger. A row of gunfire sounded and shotguns splashed out, and dozens of Qing army archers fell down.

"Retreat steadily." Zhang Shiwen shouted.

The remaining more than 800 Ming army infantry were like moving fortresses, walking backwards, retreating steadily towards the beach by the sea step by step.

The Ming army retreated into the muddy flats, and the Qing army's cavalry had lost their function. They dismounted to pursue the Ming army. From time to time, the Qing soldiers rushed to the spear formation, cut off several spears, and then were stabbed into hornet's nests by more than a dozen spears.

When the Qing army entered the mud, the bow strings were stained with mud and water, and the bows and arrows were no longer used. However, the Ming army could not output long-range firepower. After the bird gunner and the turtledog-footed gunman entered the mud, neither the bird gun nor the turtledog-footed gunman could be recharged. Zhang Shiwen had to let the bird gunner and the turtledog-footed gunman insert the bayonet and use it as short spear soldiers.

The Ming army fought and retreated, and retreated to the beach. Because the firearms could not be output and the ability of hand-to-hand combat was still far inferior to the Qing army. During the orderly retreat, Huai army soldiers fell from time to time. Every time a Qing army fell, at least two or three Huai army soldiers would fall down.

The archer Zhang Shiwen's bow and arrows were no longer useful. He could only wave a long-handled page hammer and fight with the soldiers. Page hammer was very effective against heavy armor. This thing is even more cruel than a mace. You can't use it in thick armor. If you wear thick armor, you will be invulnerable to the sword and spear. If you hit a page hammer, the armor will be sunken and the bones will be broken.

The bayonet in the hands of the bird gun soldiers also has a certain lethality to the thick armored Qing soldiers. The cross-section of the Mitsubishi bayonet has a great lethality and can pierce the iron-inserted cotton armor outside the Qing soldiers. Although the chain mail inside will block the bayonet after breaking the iron-inserted cotton armor, the powerful impact force of the bayonet can cause internal injuries after piercing the cotton armor.

The Ming army retreated step by step, and the Qing army came up from all directions and surrounded the Ming army. At this critical moment, the sound of roaring cannons came from the sea.

The Qing soldiers who were howling and running on the mudflats were shot and fell one after another.

"Our navy! Our navy opened fire!" Zhang Shiwen was overjoyed.

On the sea, on the small boat closest to the sea, light Folang machine cannons spit out flames, and various shells fell into the Qing army, taking away the lives of countless Qing soldiers. The shells pierced the human body, fell into the mud, and splashed the stained mud and water.

Dozens of small boats approached the beach. The bird gunners and turtledove-legged gunners on the boat opened fire one after another, breaking up the Qing army near the seaside, clearing out a way for Zhang Shiwen and the others.

"General Zhang, get on the boat quickly, we're here to pick you up!" A navy officer shouted at the beach.

"Hurry up, get on the boat!" Zhang Shiwen shouted.

There were only less than 500 Huai troops responsible for the cut off. They rushed to the water, waded over a dozen steps, and rushed to the side of the boat.
Chapter completed!
