In front of the Tianwu Army, a gunpowder smoke slowly rose, and then it was blown away by the breeze.

"Fire!"

With Li Shaoyou's shout, the second round of salvos of the Tianwu Army was instantly fired, and hundreds of bird-fighting players in the front row of the Tianyou Army were almost swept away.

A unlucky firecracker was shot directly in the head, the iron helmet was not broken, but his head was broken, and the strong force made his brains splash out.

"What's going on?" Geng Zhongming was stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand why the other party's firecrackers were so powerful, and the accuracy was also high, and more importantly, their reloading speed was very fast.

The front row of the Tianyou Army blinked and vacated many seats, and the firecrackers in the back were obviously stunned, no one thought that they would one day participate in this kind of battle with firearms shooting at each other.

"Fire!"

When the Tianyou army was still thinking about the reloading of the medicine, another volley came and swept across the area again, and there were all kinds of tragic situations.

"Shoot back!" Geng Zhongming shouted anxiously.

"Bang Bang Bang ......."

The Tianyou Army hurriedly fought back, and the accuracy was not even as good as the first time, only defeating more than thirty Tianwu Army.

"Fire!"

"Let's fight!"

“.......”

The two armies are firing at each other at a distance of 100 paces, you put one round, I put one, or even two.

In the volley of firearms, the soldiers on both sides fell one by one, unlike the dozens of musketeers of the Tianwu Army, the firearms of the Tianyou Army on the opposite side were almost swept away.

On Bauhinia Mountain, the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Kingdom are all pale, and how much courage does it take for both sides to fight in such a battle.

Especially the Tianwu Army, the formation is always not chaotic, on the other hand, the Tianyou Army, although there are many people, but the formation is chaotic, and the front row is even more empty, and the frequency of shooting is getting slower and slower.

The banner owners glanced at each other, and they all saw the sorrow on each other's faces, the combat effectiveness of the Tianwu Army far exceeded their expectations, not to mention that they forcibly crossed the Xiaoling River, just shooting firearms was not something ordinary people could do.

Looking at the comrades-in-arms rolling and wailing all over the ground around him, the military spirit of the Tianyou Army was about to collapse, and Geng Zhongming's heart was about to collapse, but he still persevered, he knew how serious the consequences of this defeat were.

"Humph! Show amateur skills in front of an expert! Brigade Marshal Li Shaoyou snorted coldly and continued to shout: "Advance in formation, shoot in ten steps!" ”

"Kill!"

In the majestic sound of killing, the Tianwu army advanced collectively, and after ten steps, they shouted again, and the muskets in the front row were neatly turned down, aiming at the enemy in front.

"Fire!"

Seeing that the opposite side raised their guns and shot again, the firecrackers in the front row of the Tianyou Army were like ghosts, they couldn't bear it anymore, and they instantly broke down collectively and ran backwards.

The entire Tianyou Army's army collapsed in an instant, retreating like a tide.

Geng Zhongming was completely desperate, knowing that no matter how much he encouraged him or killed him, it would be useless, so he had to retreat with the rebels.

The rout of the Tianyou Army made the Tianwu Army on the other side of the pontoon no longer have any pressure, and they stepped on the north bank one after another, forming a formation to press up.

Looking at the embarrassed escape of the Tianyou Army, the officers and soldiers of the Tianwu Army are still standing in formation, everyone is proud on their faces, they are the pro-army of the crown prince, they are invincible and invincible, any enemy in front of the Tianwu Army is so ridiculous!

On Bauhinia Mountain, Huang Taiji under the Nine Dragons umbrella secretly sighed, he looked at several banner owners of the Eight Banners Mongolia, and suddenly said: "The Ming army only has less than 10,000 people crossing the Xiaoling River, and we have not lost this battle, Engetu, Buyandai ......."

The Eight Banners Mongolian Zhenghong Banner Gushan Ezhen Engetu and the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Buyandai hurriedly lined up and said, "The minions are here!" ”

Huang Taiji swept towards the two of them: "I order you two to lead the army to cut off the pontoon bridge, and you must not let any Ming army come to the north bank again!" ”

The two hesitated, but still received the order: "Chirp......."

Huang Taiji looked at several other Mongolian banner masters: "Yibai, Suna, Wu Lai, Hu Shibu, I order the four of you to take your own banner men and horses to the Shang Ke Ke defense area, and replace him to strictly prevent the Ming army from swimming across again,"

In the end, Huang Taiji said coldly: "The rest of the men and horses, all the Ming troops who have landed on the shore, I want to let their blood stain this Xiaoling River red!" ”

The horn sounded, the Eight Banners Army continued to gather, and the Manchurian, Meng, Han and Twenty Banners gathered into a vast military formation, and the sky seemed to condense into a thick evil atmosphere.

Huang Taiji on Bauhinia Mountain nodded secretly, the flag is like the sea, the swords and guns are like a forest, my Qing soldiers are terrifying, unmatched!

Zhu Cihong on Rufeng Mountain also looked at the battlefield on the north bank, and when he saw the great victory of the Tianwu army, he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army, cross the river, and kill slaves!" ”

The war drums of the battalions of the Ming army were beating, and the soldiers and horses of the towns rushed to the river with the materials for building pontoon bridges, and launched a full-scale attack.

The first reinforcements to arrive was Mao Yuanyi's 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Division, and as soon as he joined Li Shaoyou's 2nd Division and 2nd Brigade, he realized the movement of the Qing army's soldiers and horses.

The surrounding drums sounded loudly, and an arrow flew into the sky, and suddenly tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the earth-shattering shouts of the Qing army sounded.

Qing troops dressed in cotton armor poured in from all around with weapons in their hands, and the noisy voices converged: "Kill the Southern Barbarians!" ”

Iron hooves sounded, smoke and dust rolled, a large force of Qing cavalry rushed from near Bauhinia Mountain, and it seemed that more soldiers and horses were rushing towards the Tianwu army from several directions, and there were tens of thousands of people in sight.

Mao Yuanyi said: "Lvshuai Li, the slaves and thieves are powerful, can you let me command your people?" ”

The Tianwu army that crossed the river was less than 10,000, and the Qing army was at least 70,000, although Li Shaoyou was only a young man in his twenties, he was not arrogant, he knew that Mao Yuanyi was stronger than his command ability, so he nodded.

Mao Yuanyi took his order flag and immediately ordered: "Form a square circle!" ”

The so-called square circle array is the synthesis of the square array and the circle array, which is composed of a large circle of multiple square arrays, which was created by Sun Bin and is a strengthened version of the large circle array.

The circular array is the best defensive formation, and the large circular array composed of multiple musket formations of the Tianwu Army will have stronger defensive power, and if the enemy's cavalry is invincible, it can also be transformed into a hollow array.

Zhu Cihong told Mao Yuanyi that he should concentrate on studying the military formation and how to better cooperate with firearms, which is a treasure left by the ancestors through countless actual battles, and it will be practical in another thousand years.

In modern and modern times, although it is a thermal weapon war, but formations can be seen everywhere, such as the formation of the Beiyang Naval Division facing the Japanese Combined Fleet in the Late Qing First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, which is a horned goose formation, trying to give full play to the long-range firepower of its ironclad ships to annihilate the enemy, but because the level of training and command ability are far inferior to the Japanese army, it finally fails.

The formations of the modern navy, even if they are air force formations, have long wingmen, this is a formation, but now there is no such thing as a "formation".

As small as a three-person combat group, three people in an inverted triangle defense formation with sharp soldiers, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army's three-three system tactics, with teams as units, shined in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

The formation is not magical, nor is it ancient, it is just a kind of science.
