As the number of Qing troops climbed to the city wall increased, Zhao Peng asked more auxiliary soldiers to join the battle.

More than 7,200 auxiliary soldiers who had been trained in the Mandarin Duck Formation were put into battle. Although these melee auxiliary soldiers were also military households and were conducting certain military training during the slack season, they had been trained in the Mandarin Duck Formation for more than three months. Although these auxiliary soldiers only had a thin cotton armor on their bodies, the shields in the Mandarin Duck Formation could effectively protect them from long-range attacks by the Qing army.

A total of 600 mandarin duck formations composed of auxiliary soldiers appeared and rushed towards the Qing army. The new army's armored soldiers and musketeers quickly retreated. The iron armored soldiers who had already consumed too much physical energy took a short rest; the musketeers also needed to cool the barrel.

There are also firearms in the Mandarin Duck Formation. Although it is a turtle dove gun with extremely slow loading, that is, a heavy combroach gun, the Mandarin Duck Formation mainly focuses on hand-to-hand combat in formations, and the turtle dove gun is only the output to make up for the gap in attack power.

More than 3,000 Manchu Eight Banners archers who climbed the castle have almost lost all, and the Green Camp Bird Gunners, who pose the greatest threat to the Ming army's iron armored soldiers, have almost been wiped out. Now the only long-range soldiers of the Qing army are the Green Camp archers. The archery skills of these Green Camp archers are obviously incomparable to those of Manchu Eight Banners. They cannot accurately shoot feather arrows from the gaps between the shields like Manchu Eight Banners archers.

The Qing army shot arrows and were blocked by the sword players in the front row of the Yuanyang Formation. Only a few arrows passed through the gaps in the shield, causing very small casualties to the Yuanyang Formation.

However, the performance of the Qing army archers ended here, with only twenty steps left between the two sides. Six hundred mandarin duck formations broke into the Qing army crowd, like six hundred sharp razors, pushing towards the Qing army formation in front. Before the soldiers of both sides collided, countless thunders of the sky flew out of the mandarin duck formation.

Fires burst out and smoke rolled. Accompanied by a series of deafening explosions, the Qing army in the front row screamed and fell down a large area. The Qing army behind them was in chaos. Before the shocked Green Camp soldiers could react, the Yuanyang formation had already rushed to the front.

The soldiers of the Green Camp organized resistance in a hurry, but even the tight formation could not resist the Yuanyang formation. What's more, the formations of these Qing troops in the Green Camp were actually a little confused. How could they resist the tacitly cooperate with the Yuanyang formation?

The Yuanyang Formation Killed People in the Qing army formation of the Green Camp, and they advanced all the way forward. Wherever they passed, the Qing army facing each other fell in pools of blood. These Qing army were originally veterans of the Ming army and were considered elite soldiers who had experienced many battles, but they were so vulnerable in front of those military households that had only been trained for three or four months.

In fact, it is not difficult to train the Mandarin Duck Formation. As long as an ordinary farmer has been trained for three to four months, he can become a spearman, wolf demon soldier, or fire soldier in the Mandarin Duck Formation. The more difficult things to train are the sword player and the team leader.

The Mandarin Duck Formation does not require every soldier to have high martial arts. The most important thing is that the soldiers can be obedient and obey commands, so that the soldiers can cooperate and exert their collective strength to the greatest extent.

Although these auxiliary soldiers who have practiced the Mandarin Duck Formation were originally military households in Nanjing, these people were carefully selected by Zhao Peng. They were all honest and honest military households on weekdays. Some of the people with relatively high martial arts skills were selected as squad and sword players, while the rest were organized into long spearmen, wolf fairy and fire soldiers. They used the slaughter season for four months to train and became qualified militias.
