At noon, after the Eight Banners Division had been reorganized, it launched an offensive again, and the charge began.

A large number of Eight Banners Iron Cavalry rushed like a tide, the target, the four thousand Tianwu Army!

In Li Shaoyou's shouting order, everyone in the Tianwu Army looked solemn, clenched their Heding rifles, shouted in unison, and increased their fighting spirit.

"Fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The musket array of the Tianwu Army, if it did not fire, did not stop, and seven or eight rounds were fired in just a few minutes, so that the charge of the Eight Banners Division could not raise its head.

In order to adapt to the international environment and test new products, the Tianwu Army was also equipped with some thunderbolts that had been improved many times.

A thunderbolt is equipped with thirty barrels, which can fire more than fifty rounds in a row, causing great casualties to the Eight Banners Division.

Under several rounds of platoon attacks by the Tianwu Army, the Eight Banners Division suffered great losses and corpses were everywhere.

Li Shaoyou sneered, what about the Eight Banners Iron Rider? What if there are a lot of people? As a Tianwu Army, don't be afraid of anyone!

As elite veterans of the Eight Banners, the last strength of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Division was naturally not convinced, although they had some panic and casualties, but they still forced up.

When the Eight Banners Division was approaching, the 4,000 Tianwu Army's musket array fired a more violent volley, and the platoon guns continued to sound continuously, and in front of each platoon and each unit, a dense white smoke erupted from the aunt, and it was almost impossible to see the Eight Banners cavalry charging on the opposite side.

But it doesn't matter, just arrange the guns step by step.

All in all, the gunfire can't be stopped!

Although the number of Tianwu troops is small, they are tightly formed, and the tactics of four rows of double-layer guns used are even more impermeable, such as the Yingzheng big move in the king, which makes the opposite side frightened and dodges with his head.

Looking at the Eight Banners cavalry in front of them who kept falling and groaning, there were even those who turned their horses' heads and circled back from the two wings in fear.

Zilharang's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all waste!" ”

The Ming army on the opposite side was only a few thousand, and they were all infantry troops, and their own Eight Banners Iron Cavalry had nearly 10,000 people.

With cavalry attacking the infantry formation, with such an advantage, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't break through this thin defensive line, how could he not be angry?

Zilharang had high hopes for the Eight Banners Division, and would never allow such an accident to happen in the decisive battle, he had to compete for time, and before the Ming army could gather the rout, he would break through the Ming army's middle army in one fell swoop and drive them back to Liaodong!

He roared loudly: "Keep attacking!" Flatten them! ”

The second round of the attack of the Eight Banners Division was launched again, and everyone gritted their teeth and charged fiercely with their weapons.

......

In the middle of the Ming army, Mao Yuanyi looked at the stalemate in front of him, and he was also nervous.

At present, most of the routed troops on the front line ran back from the two flanks, and even many people attacked the Chinese army, which seemed to be chaotic.

He had to organize his men and horses in the shortest possible time, press them again, and relieve the siege of Li Shaoyou, so that he could have any hope of winning.

Otherwise, the Ming army could only retreat on all fronts, give up attacking Pyongyang, and abandon Li Shaoyou and the Qiantianwu army.

Mao Yuanyi looked at the chaotic battlefield and rout again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order, all departments hold high the battle flag, collect the rout on the spot, those who dare to fight, all have heavy rewards, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

As the flag waved, the heralds rode out and shouted around the battlefield.

It is almost impossible to gather the defeated troops on the spot and regain their strength, which is a great test of the discipline of an army.

Because in the case of the rout, the soldiers were panicked and could only subconsciously run away, and it was very difficult to turn them back.

The reason why Mao Yuanyi wants all departments to hold high the battle flag is mainly to gather the generals, and the collection of the army is actually the collection of generals, as long as the generals are there, the army is there!

Secondly, when the battle flags of each department are there, the army will have a goal, and it will be able to stabilize the panicked military spirit.

Over the years, more than half of the generals of the Ming army have graduated from the Huangming Military Academy, or have studied at the Huangming Military Academy.

The military situation is like fire, whoever seizes the opportunity will be able to achieve victory!

After Mao Yuanyi's order was issued, under the banner of the Chinese military commander, the war drums beat like the sound of heaven.

The Ming army, which was running in a panic, suddenly heard the familiar sound of drums, and the speed under their feet gradually slowed down, and they looked in the direction of the Chinese army in dismay.

But I found the tall Chinese army flag, and slowly, more and more military flags were erected around, and it seemed to form a bright red piece.

Looking at the direction behind them, the iron horses of the Eight Banners seemed to be blocked, and they were like mad dogs, constantly attacking the position of the Dragon Banner of the Tianwu Army.

A Mongolian soldier who ran back from the front line was stunned: "The Tianwu army is still fighting fiercely with the Tartars......"

There were constantly routs who stopped and looked at the battle flags of the Ming army, and some people looked at the dragon flag behind them.

At this time, the battlefield resounded with the shouts of the praise and painting officials of various departments:

"Warriors of the Ming Dynasty, you are not defeated!"

"Pick up your weapons, find your banners, summon up your courage, and form a battle to kill the enemy!"

In the field, a praise officer held a bright red battle flag aloft and shouted with all his might: "The Ming army is mighty! ”

The stunned soldiers reacted, howling like beasts, and desperately converging in the direction of the battle flag with their firearms.

Lao Tzu was not defeated, but he was just stunned!

It's just that in such a chaotic battlefield, if you want to regain your strength in a panic, how can it be so easy to complete the integration?

Li Shaoyou and the four thousand soldiers of the Tianwu Army were under tremendous pressure to buy time for them.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry is to threaten the infantry from the flank and back, and the iron cavalry of the Eight Banners Division naturally understands this truth, and constantly attacks from the flanks and around the rear.

However, Li Shaoyou is not stunned, he was born in the cavalry in his early years, how can he not understand the tactics of the cavalry.

Therefore, he made the Tianwu army form a hollow phalanx dedicated to defending against cavalry, with soldiers crouching and holding bayonets in the front row, and musket formations with rows of guns in the back rows, on all sides.

Although this hollow phalanx has a limited number of people, it only has a few thin layers of defense, like paper, which seems to be broken with a single stab, but it is actually very difficult to gnaw.

This is to take advantage of the habits of war horses, and what horses are most afraid of is sharp and shiny objects, such as bayonets.

Horses automatically avoid such objects, and even a highly trained war horse cannot overcome this drawback.

As long as the war horse is not crazy, it will almost not directly collide with the hollow phalanx. (If you are interested, you can take a look at the British movie "Four Feathers", which has a scene of a hollow phalanx fighting cavalry, similar to this battle)

If the cavalry wants to break through this kind of phalanx, the only way is to deal with a certain number of Tianwu soldiers first, so that there is a gap in the bayonet array of the phalanx, giving the war horses a chance to attack.

In order to create this opportunity, the Eight Banners Division can be said to have invested a lot of money, and they launched a fierce attack on the three sides of the hollow phalanx in three directions.

Because the war horses were afraid of bayonets, the iron cavalry of the Eight Banners Division attacked almost in a circle, some of them shot the Tianwu army at close range, and some used strong bows to shoot and kill.

At such a close distance, the Tianwu Army suffered heavy losses, but their musket array was exerted to the extreme, and I don't know how many Eight Banners people lay down in one round.
