Kong Youde gave the order, and the flag soldiers turned over and dismounted and prepared to attack the water camp.

However, the Qing army did not charge directly without brains, but made preparations in a very organized manner.

The Qing army's cavalry was powerful, which often people forget that the Manchus were born in the mountains and forests, and their infantry battles were also not weak.

The Eight Banners of Han were not real Manchus, but in recent years, they have learned some skills with Manchus. In addition, the Han army was good at firearms and attacking cities and villages. In the past, the Qing army attacked cities mostly by Han army flags, so they had already formed a strategy for how to attack cities and villages.

Amid Nikan's screams, the Qing army quickly made preparations. After more than an hour, three thousand elite flag soldiers formed a formation in front of the water camp.

They were roughly divided into three groups of people. The first group had a small number of only more than 500 people. They held up the large shields they had made, and the shield was covered with several layers of cowhide and were dripping with water. Bird guns and bows could not be shot through.

Usually, this group of people was pushing a shield car, but at this time, the time was urgent and the car could not be found, so the Qing army had to unload the door panels of nearby people.

The second group of people had more than a thousand people, hiding behind the shield soldiers, holding bird guns and bows and arrows in their hands. The bird guns shot straight, and the bows and arrows pointed at the sky and did not aim at them, but covered the city.

The third group of people had more than 1,500 people, and they were the main force in attacking the village. When the shield soldiers in front arrived under the wall of the village, and the bows, arrows, birds and guns suppressed the city, they would launch an attack.

This arrangement can be used in siege battles and even field battles. Countless Ming armies have been defeated by this tactic of the Qing army.

After all, firearms do not work, and they cannot cut down the fierce Eight Banners. In the end, most of the Ming army failed, but it was not impossible to break the Qing army's tactics, as long as there were enough artillery.

Seeing that the Qing army was ready, Kong Youde waved his hand and roared loudly, "Attack!"

With a command, the horn sounded, and the first Qing army holding a wooden shield, and the second Qing army holding a bird gun and a bow and arrow began to act and advance towards the water camp.

The flag soldiers were angry, and the barbarians actually dared to torture their master in front of them, which was simply seeking death.

The Qing soldiers fought for decades, but no one dared to provoke them like this. The barbarians had to pay the price.

Seeing the Qing army advance, the vision of the rebels and archers on the wall of the village was blocked by shields and could not aim at the Qing army behind them. The Qing army advancing was also full of confidence, believing that the rebels in front of them would surrender like countless Ming troops, muskets and archers would surrender under the shields. Once they approached and began close combat, the weak barbarians would inevitably collapse.

However, at this moment, the shield was broken.

Li Chengdong was forced to go to Liangshan, and he had no choice but to fight to the death with the Qing army, waved his hand suddenly, and roared loudly: "Fire the cannon!"

On the Tuzhai, the Rebels' Folang machine suddenly roared. In the muffled sound of "boom", the cannon stand retreated sharply, and balls of gunpowder rose up. The cannonballs roared out, smashing the Qing army's shield to pieces. The Qing army hiding behind was wailing everywhere.

"Bird gun shooting!" Li Chengdong roared again.

The "bang bang bang~" sounded, and after the shield was smashed, the exposed Qing army was hit by a projectile before they could react, and they died on the ground with a shaking like a sieve.

Seeing the casualties of the front army, Kong Youde's face twitched, and knew that he could not follow the steps, so he waved his knife and roared, "Kill!"

The third group of people who were waiting for the front to suppress the city and attacked the third group of people. Amid the sound of the horn, they stood up together, held the weapons tightly, carried the ladder of the trench bridge, and took firm steps and began to advance forward.

Soon the Qing army rushed to the wall with shells and bows, but the Qing army failed to approach the wall, but was blocked by the trench in front of the wall and chest. The Qing army soldiers laid onto the trench bridge, and the Li soldiers behind the chest were stabbed with spears and swords, killing them with the Qing army.

At this time, the Qing army had to face the blocking of the Li army's melee killer team, and there was a wall above the head. The arrows and projectiles shot by the rebel archers and bird gunners suffered heavy losses.

However, a group of flag soldiers in double armor, without fear of arrows and bird guns, climbed over the chest wall and rushed into the rebel army. The rebel army could not penetrate the spear and could not kill them with a sword. The front immediately loosened, causing chaos.

At the critical moment, Zhao Ming picked up a mace and rushed into the enemy. He swung his blunt weapon and smashed the big stick. The double-armored soldiers who were invulnerable to swords and guns were either killed or injured, killing more than ten people in a row. The Qing army was shocked. When it was dark, they left more than 600 bodies and finally retreated on the whole line.

Originally, Zhao Ming wanted to practice swords, but the time was too short, so he finally made a mace that was easy to get started.

The 180-pound big stick was like a storm by Zhao Ming, which was creepy. The shocked Qing army gave Zhao Ming a nickname - Zhao Tiebang.

As night fell, the Qing army retreated to the camp. The rebels cleaned the battlefield with torches, cleaned the Qing army's bodies, took away all their weapons and armor, and even took away their close clothes.

Anyway, these people have no shame, and it doesn’t matter if they recognize thieves as their fathers, forget their ancestors in a few words, and die naked.

In the Qing army camp, Kong Youde was very angry. He actually lost more than 600 Qing soldiers in one day, which made him intolerable.

However, the rebels had Nikan in their hands, and he had to react, otherwise it would be difficult to explain politically.

Now Kong Youde knew that the rebels deliberately angered him and asked him to attack, but they had to be led by the rebels.

When he was depressed, Wu Zhaosheng still had Tu Guobao and led the gathered green camp soldiers to come over.

In the central army's tent, there was a bright light and a sand table was placed in the middle. Shen Zhixiang and a group of Qing generals stood aside proudly, and Kong Youde came out from behind surrounded by guards.

Kong Youde said in a deep voice: "Day is just a test, allowing the rebels to take advantage of it. Tomorrow, everyone will attack me with their lives. If you don't beat Li Chengdong's shit out, I will not be Kong's surname!"

Shen Zhixiang interrogated: "The prince is right. Today is not prepared enough. Our army has an overwhelming advantage. As long as you are ready, it will not be difficult to break it."

Kong Youde's face darkened and waved, "The rebels captured Nikanbeile, let me be afraid of the enemy. Your people attacked overnight, arrested the nearby rioters, and came to participate in the attack of the village. Wu Zhaosheng, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service. Tomorrow you will take the lead. Lao Shen, you will supervise the battle myself tomorrow, and Zhengbaiqi will serve as the main attack!"

When the generals in the tent heard the words, they all bowed to Qian'er, "Zhe!"

Kong Youde nodded with satisfaction and called everyone to come around, "Wait, I want a thorough strategy to attack the village!"

~~~~~~~

On the wall of the village, Zhao Ming ordered a rebel army to take good care of Nikan and not kill him, so he hurried down the wall of the village.

Wu Yi and others also got off the village wall and stood below waiting. When he saw Zhao Ming coming, he said in a deep voice: "Bo'an, don't worry about this place. General Li and I will stick to this place until August 15th, and Jiangyin will be handed over to you!"

Zhao Ming clasped his fists solemnly, "Don't worry, the navy arrived in Jiangyin on August 15th, and he would definitely rescue the Jiangyin rebel army!"

The rebel army's goal this time was to build a plank road openly to cover Chencang, attract the attention and strength of the Qing army to the surrounding area of ​​Taihu Lake, launch an uprising in various parts of Jiangnan, forcing Boluo to divide his troops and turn his attention to the south, and the rebel army took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army's attention to divert to rescue the Jiangyin rebel army.

Hu Weizong said: "Master Zhao, the ship is ready!"

Zhao Ming then clasped his fists to Wu Yi, Hou Dongzeng, Li Chengdong, Li Yuanyin and others, "Everyone, Zhao is gone!"

Everyone clasped their fists together, and Wu Yi said, "Bo'an, the horse is successful!"
