The Southeastern Army advanced all the way as if it were in a no-man's land, but the officers and men were tense up and down, knowing that they were surrounded by the enemy.

There was the sound of horses' hooves everywhere, and the rough voice of the Houjin army came from all directions, which was as unpleasant and harsh as a night owl, making people tremble!

The faces of many recruits have changed, and they are already timid, if it weren't for the guns, the confidence and strict military discipline given by the dense team, I am afraid that they will not even be able to walk.

Yan Tian had been on the Ningyuan front line for a long time, but he hadn't gone so far, and he thought to himself, "Cavalry is indeed good, but the pressure on the infantry is heavy, because you never know when the enemy's cavalry will come, and at the same time, your supplies are also cut off for them, this feeling is really uncomfortable!" ”

So the Southeast Army sang songs and sang in unison "Loyal to the Country", "We Are Soldiers", and "I am a Soldier...... They sang "Loyal to the Country".

The military song was loud, dispelling the traces of the surrounding ghosts.

The officers and soldiers of the southeast are heroic in their hearts, and the more they sing, the louder they become, they only feel that they are full of strength and courage, come on, we are not afraid of you!

I have to say that the song is unbounded, even those Tartars listen to it with relish, after all, abandoning the hostile camp, everyone's essence is the same, they are all soldiers, and soldiers have a common language.

Another song sounded, and one of the scouts, a Bayala soldier (true Tartar), asked a Han Chinese cavalryman who could speak Tatar, "What are they singing?" It's so nice to sing! ”

The Han soldier's face changed in vain, and he whispered to the Baya soldiers: "Say! ”

Han Jun gritted his teeth, so he translated the lyrics and listened:

"The heroes of the southeast mansion, the blue blood stains the barbarians.

Return my Han River and Mountain, and swear to destroy the slaves.

For Han Bang, I am willing to set the guns and set the country.

Preserve the spirit of the heart, serve the country and destroy the enemy.

Fuguobang, called a hero.

Brave and loyal to the sun and the moon! ”

Hearing that, Baya Labing slapped him, and with a snap, Han Jun covered his face: People don't want to say it, you insist on people saying it, and you will be beaten if you say it...... Alas, it's so uncomfortable to be a lackey!

There is a little shame in the heart of the Han army: If the Ming army is such a heroic team, defeat these Tartars, why let us be traitors!

The song is called "Kill the Tartars"!

Written by Yan Dashao, in fact, he watched the theme song in a TVB drama "Book of Swords and Enmity" (starring Zheng Shaoqiu), and it was sung by Qiu Guan, who thought it was good and very suitable for the occasion, so he changed the lyrics and became the main theme of the Southeast Army's Northern Expedition.

The song is magnificent. Singing makes people's blood boil, we are heroes and heroes, kill the Tartars, and destroy the Jiannu!

……

"Tartars are blocking the road ahead! A lot! "The scout soldier of the side has said.

Looking through the binoculars, I can see the Tartar cavalry piling up the main road, densely packed with cavalry, waving flags, and the lineup is at its peak!

The three main generals, Azig and Mang Gurtai, added Tong Yang, and their faces were full of murder

The shadow of the tree, the fame of the man, and the opposite side is an invincible army, and if they win, we will all be killed by him!

The road is wide on both sides, with a wide frontage, and is flat, without dense woods, which is a good place to start a war.

As the Southeast Army advanced, everyone's palms were sweaty, and some people's footsteps were mechanically stiff!

Several generals of the Southeastern Army rode their horses and galloped in front to let the officers and men see themselves in order to encourage morale.

What should have been said has been said, and there is only one sentence left in a thousand words: "Be brave and fearless!" ”

The army agitated and stimulated the morale of the army, and everyone sang "Kill the Tartars" in unison, shouting "Kill the Tartars!" ”

Hearing this, the Tartars had a bad face and hatred in their hearts, and decided to "greet" these Ming people who did not know the height of the sky.

Further, the Houjin cavalry still did not move, and everyone felt slightly strange, if the infantry approached, the cavalry could not let go of the speed, and the lethality would be shouted.

There must be something strange about this!

Yan Tian and several senior officers sneered, they all knew what the Houjin Army wanted to play, they wanted to play with artillery!

The style of painting has changed, and the Tartars have played with firearms, so what about our cannons?

Casting artillery is not an easy task, especially the marching artillery, the artillery made by the southeast province is still too heavy, the technology is not up to par, and more importantly, the production capacity is insufficient, the naval artillery is the foundation of the southeast province, the warship is like a dumpling, the naval artillery can not be supplied, so I have to grieve the infantry, but fortunately, the supply of guns for the infantry is very sufficient.

A thousand men in the front of the South-Eastern Army distanced themselves from the troops behind to see what tricks the Tatars played.

……

At a distance of eighty zhang, the horn of the attacking bull horn sounded in the Tartar cavalry array, and immediately a thousand horses galloped, and Azig and Mang Gurtai led the cavalry to attack on the left and right, and came to fly with both wings, intending to use the cavalry to flank the southeast army.

The artillery fort in the middle of the road was shown, and the cannons were aimed at the direction of the Southeast Army, and Tong Yang said excitedly: "Open the cannon!" ”

Together, the gunners lit the fuse of the artillery, which was an imitation of the red-coated cannon (the cannon sold to China by the red-haired fan was called the Hongyi cannon, and the Tatars changed its name to the red-coated cannon),

Three rows of cannons, thirteen in one row, a total of thirty-nine cannons, they were prepared, tried the range, enough to drop the shells on the current position of the Southeastern Army.

The roaring cannon rang out, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air,

After a rumbling cannon sound, dozens of shells (solid shells) with wisps of gray-white smoke fell on the heads of the Southeast Army with a roar!

The sky is dark!

At the same time, in the terrible sound of the horns, the heavily armed Houjin cavalry charged on both wings, and the shouts, horns, and neighing of war horses mixed together, making them roll like two turbid currents.

The situation is treacherous, like a flood, and ordinary Ming troops can be defeated in one turn.

"The first regiment retreats!" Yan Tian said sharply.

"Spread out left and right! The second regiment is left, the third regiment is right! Deng Tianyan shouted.

And Zhou Quanbin and Zuo Liangyu rode horses to occupy their seats, and the regimental flag followed them, commanding the second regiment on the left and the third regiment on the right.

To the surprise of the Tatars, the Ming army quickly scattered left and right, the troops in front dropped their chariots and retreated, they ran as fast as if they had four legs!

Just kidding, it's useless to train for long-distance running every day and eat meat?!

The phalanx of 3,000 people was dispersed when it was said to be scattered, scattered but not chaotic, and the second and third regiments soon gathered behind Zhou Quanbin and Zuo Liangyu.

The shells fell first, hitting the chariot hard, blowing up a cloud of sawdust.

But there wasn't much human flesh and blood, and they almost dodged, hitting only a few people.

And those wounded soldiers, who were immediately carried or carried away by their comrades-in-arms, did not abandon them.

The 3,000-man formation of the Southeast Army was in place, forming a posture against the enemy.

The middle regiment was covered by chariots (that is, the second and third regiments were dropped), and the two thousand men on the left and right were on the outside with shields, and muskets stretched out from the middle of the shields, like angry hedgehog needles!

Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the Tatars kept speeding up and rushed on both sides!
