Chapter 210: Death Charge

At night, the area was in a state of desolation.

For the arrival of more than 200,000 new troops in the Ming Dynasty, the wild Jurchen soldiers of the two white flags have long been prepared.

The army composed of 60,000 soldiers with two white flags and more than 100,000 clothed minions had already left the large camp to form a whole army and was ready for battle.

The huge military formations of both sides spread for miles and faced each other face to face.

The scene looks thrilling.

Countless bonfires and torches illuminated this battlefield red, and the light of the fire shone on the faces of the soldiers on both sides, murderous, like a ghost!

This is the first major battle between the two white flag wild Jurchen soldiers since their formation, and it is also a great battle.

Similarly, this real head-to-head duel can also be called the first head-to-head showdown conducted by the Ming New Army.

Different from the previous crushing siege and rush battles, this is the first time that the soldiers of the new army of the Ming Dynasty have faced the enemy army face to face.

It seems that the military formation of those wild Jurchen soldiers is very large, but in fact, their soldiers are only 60,000, and the rest are the reserves of the wild Jurchen people and the hardcore traitors who are used as cannon fodder.

Although these clothed minions were abandoned by Huang Taiji, most of them were hardcore traitors, and they regarded the Ming Empire as a great enemy of life and death, and there was no shortage of courage to fight to the death.

Now in terms of numbers, it is more than 200,000 soldiers of the Ming New Army, and the 200,000 or so troops of the enemy are dueling, and the number of both sides of the battle is equal.

But because most of the war horses of Houjin have been taken away by Huang Taiji and run away, the army of 200,000 wild Jurchen Tartars is only equipped with one person and one horse.

However, the 200,000 cavalry, even if it is only half of the elite, the thick murderous aura spreads, and the scene looks extremely terrifying.

Gu De and Gu Bai, as the owners of the two white flags, were very puzzled and extremely contemptuous of Huang Taiji and their Houjin's behavior of fleeing without a fight.

You must know that if Huang Taiji really wants to fight with all his might, it is completely possible to form a million-strong army dominated by clothed minions.

With a million-strong army fighting head-on with the enemy, five people fighting one person, judging from the normal situation, it is impossible to lose.

"That Huang Taiji and his Houjin warriors are really some cowards, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that these new Ming troops will be as powerful as they say, and the million army doesn't even have the idea of fighting."

Thinking of this in his heart, Gu De despised Huang Taiji and those Eight Banner Ezhen fiercely.

He has always believed that his Sauron warriors are invincible in the world.

It's not like he's bragging.

In terms of fighting will and bravery, their Sauron clan can be called the most fearless warriors of this era, and they are far beyond Huang Taiji and his Houjin soldiers.

It's a pity that now is not the era when you can sweep the invincible with the will to fight and fight to the death.

Weapons and equipment, battle formation training, military discipline and military regulations, and perfect logistics......

These things are also an important part of the combat effectiveness of the army.

What's more, the current Ming New Army's strong will to fight is not under these Sauron dead soldiers.

In all other aspects, the new army of the Ming Dynasty has comprehensively crushed the two white flag wild Jurchen armies, and the gap between the two sides is even bigger than Gude imagined.

The armies of both sides are silently approaching each other, and the distance is getting closer and closer.

Four miles......

Sanli ......

The distance of three miles is enough for the army to charge.

Goode rode his best war horse, galloped forward for more than a dozen steps, turned the horse's head, his eyes were like knives, and swept down the two white flag generals behind him, and exhaled: "Soldiers, do you see those Ming new troops in front?" ”

The loud voice sounded like thunder, and with the sound of the night wind of "whirring" reached the ears of more than 100 generals, he held the mace high in his hand, and his expression was excited, "For our enemies, we have always had only one way: kill them all!" ”

"Kill!"

With a swing of his huge mace, Goode turned his horse's head around and swung forward!

At this moment, the dark clouds drifted away, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the earth.

At this moment, Gude seemed to be extraordinarily calm, with the 200,000 cavalry behind him, like a dragon whirlwind sweeping the heavens and the earth, carrying the momentum of drowning everything, sweeping across the icy plain, and swept towards the enemy on the opposite side. First Chinese Network

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”……

200,000 people chanted in unison, what a huge momentum!

In the shouts that soared into the sky, 60,000 soldiers with two white flags and more than 100,000 hardcore traitors rode their horses and galloped wildly!

The distance between the two sides is rapidly shortening, and the battle formation of the new army of the Ming Dynasty in front is rapidly approaching, scorching and killing, burning in the eyes of every wild girl real soldier.

It's like 200,000 wolves that have found their delicious prey, their bloody mouths are opened, and their fangs are exposed.

At the moment when thousands of horses were rushing, the new army of the Ming Dynasty not far ahead had already reacted.

"All artillery battalions! Blossom bomb ready! ”

"Three rapid fires! Put! ”……

"Boom!"

"Boom!" ……

In the thunderous explosion, one after another burst out of the swarthy cannon muzzle, carrying thick smoke, like black lightning, smashed down on the head of the Tartar cavalry rushing towards the opposite side!

"Boom" ......

The more than 200 flowering bullets that fell in the direction of the enemy's front army exploded almost simultaneously, setting off patches of blood mist, and the soldiers of the two white flags were immediately killed and wounded, and the forward cavalry brigade immediately exploded in all directions, and it was a complete chaos.

Even the ground seemed to be shaking, trembling slightly, these wild Jurchen soldiers, who had seen them living in the grassland for a long time, where had they seen such a powerful bombardment?

Countless war horses suddenly began to panic, stopped, and jumped up and down.

The first explosion stopped roaring, and the second exploded in the vanguard of the Tartars.

This was followed by a third wave......

Looking from a distance, countless cavalry were rushing from the north to kill, like boiling water pouring snow, rushing straight to the tight battle formation of the new army of the Ming Dynasty under the black pressure in the south.

Then the cavalry battle formation was blown up by the explosion, a small number of war horses and cavalry soldiers were killed on the spot, but most of the war horses just woke up from the daze, and immediately began to riot!

It's just that in this short distance, once the cavalry starts charging in groups, there is basically no chance to stop.

Either rush into the enemy's formation, fight the enemy in close quarters, and slaughter the enemy, or die in the charge.

As the artillery bombardment continued, there was chaos among the Tartar cavalry brigades on the battlefield.

In the continuous sound of artillery bombardment, more and more Tartar war horses that had gone out of control really formed a riot.

These wild women and soldiers and those massive hardcore traitors, not only could not get close to the range of their bows and arrows a hundred meters in front of the enemy, but were all taken off their horses by the mounts under them, and the next moment, they were trampled into flesh by the war horses.

However, the current army is charging in clusters, and it can't be stopped at all.

Although there was a chaotic situation on the battlefield, a large number of Tartar soldiers were either killed and wounded, but trampled to death by those riotous war horses, but there were also nearly half of the cavalry forward brigade, breaking through the artillery bombardment, approaching within one hundred and fifty meters in front of the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

"Repeater! Shoot! ”

With Sun Chuanting's order, the war drums suddenly sounded, and the soldiers of the Ming New Army, who had already prepared, began the classic three-stage shooting with the crossbow in their hands!

The new combat mode of three-stage shooting has been carried forward by the soldiers of various legions.

Not only are the musketeers' three-stage firing tactics becoming more and more proficient, but even cannons, repeaters, and strong bows have developed their own three-stage firing patterns.

In this way, a continuous blow is formed, and after the beginning of the battle, as long as the enemy is resisting, the blow can continue forever.

From the moment the battle began, there was no interruption, and until the battle was over, the attack would not stop.

This mode of battle is an unprecedented test of the logistics of the army.

It is estimated that in this era, only Zhu Youxiao's new army of the Ming Empire can use this improved "three-stage shooting" tactic on such a large scale with such luxury.

This new three-stage attack method is something that others simply cannot imitate.

Including those Westerners, their three-stage shooting mode is not only slow, but also unable to last, and the range is far behind the new army of the Ming Empire at this time.
