Chapter 468: Sun Kewang's Descending Tiger

What Qin Yiming wanted was a war of annihilation, and for Sun Kewang, he had not seen such a neat Ming army for many years, and in the first few years, when he fought against the Ming army, he even saw Ming soldiers with papier-mâché knives and guns.

And since then, with the increasingly fierce war, although the papier-mâché knives and guns are no longer visible, not to mention the Shizhu Army that almost wiped out the Western Army a few times, the Tianxiong Army of Lu Xiangsheng of the Ming Army, the Qin Army of Sun Chuanting, and even the Liaodong Army, these strongest armies of the Ming Dynasty have been successively invested in the suppression of the Kou, but the elite of the Ming Army is still fighting less and less, and it is becoming more and more embarrassed.

Sun Kewang had almost never seen such a bright armor, a strong military formation, and every soldier had a bright gaze, a strong and dark Ming army. Even the Tianxiong Army and the Qin Army back then, many of the soldiers in them were all disparate and lacked nutrition.

Sun Kewang can be sure that this is a well-equipped and well-trained strong enemy, especially the enemy's main general, which makes him have a headache when he thinks of the name.

Qin Yiming's army remained immovable, like a mountain, still waiting for the best hunting opportunity like a creeping tiger, and the time was not on Sun Kewang's side, as long as he continued like this, within two days, the military rations would run out, and without food, all the soldiers would all become deserters.

Sun Kewang's Great Western Army can fight, but after all, they are a peasant army, and the peasants are most afraid of starvation, they rebel because they are starving, they fight to be able to eat enough, and they will no longer be hungry, and they will overthrow the imperial court so that they can eat and drink from now on.

Therefore, they do not have the discipline of the regular army, even if they run out of food, the most disciplined troops will hold on together, and the rebel army will gather quickly and disperse quickly.

Sun Kewang knew this very well, so he was much more anxious than Qin Yiming, Qin Yiming had patience, he also had it, Qin Yiming had the ability to maintain patience, he didn't.

Sun Kewang, who could no longer consume it, finally drew his sword and ordered the two battalions of men and horses to attack Qin Yiming's imperial army first. And Qin Yiming and Ma Wannian have received Qin Liangyu's most profound and systematic military command and campaign tactics training since they were young, how could Sun Kewang's tentative attack touch them?

The so-called Tao is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, and Qin Yiming, who finally forced Sun Kewang to fight against the water, instead waited for work and became a defensive party, choking Sun Kewang's throat and waiting for him to die until the moment when he was exhausted.

Sun Kewang had no choice, the battle was death, and there was no chance if he didn't fight, and after the three drums, the Great Western Army, which launched a surprise attack, fell in front of Qin Yiming's imperial camp.

The armor of the imperial camp trained by Tianlang spent a lot of money was thick, and the shield was no longer the wooden long card used by the Ming army in the past.

This Ming army, known as the imperial camp, has a chariot for each of its small flags, although it is a man-powered cart, but when marching, you can put the heavy weapons used on the cart, and the shield can also be replaced with iron-clad ones.

When they are arranging the troops, the carts can also be all concentrated and merged into one piece, forming a tall and thick barrier.

Unable to break through this barrier, the Great Western Army was killed and wounded by the spears and archers behind the chariots, and their attack on the imperial camp was as difficult as attacking the city.

Qin Yiming, who personally participated in the Battle of the Hunhe River, not only fought field battles and was never afraid of the Manchu Eight Banners, but even defended the city, he also guarded the capital of the empire, the capital division, and he guarded it for several years, and if you want to ask Qin Yiming what he is most proficient in, it is Qin Liangyu and the Shizhu Army's best field formation.

Otherwise, the white pole soldiers only used 3,000 people to fight against all the soldiers and horses of the Houjin Eight Banners, what did they rely on? They were infantry, and without a rock-solid, well-disciplined military formation, I am afraid that they would not be able to withstand even the first full charge of the Red Banner in the Battle of the Hunhe River.

The so-called wolf soldiers are not like the Indians, with a feather on their heads, carrying a broken knife sharpened from animal bones, and rushing forward with a roar.

The Shizhu Army is a wolf soldier, but the generals of the Shizhu Army have inherited two thousand years of war books and tactics when it comes to fighting, and they are definitely the most upright generals in China.

In the three attacks, the Great Western Army fought worse and worse each time, and Ma Wannian was still watching the excitement on both wings of Qin Yiming's army formation, he was going to cut Sun Kewang with a thousand knives, but he knew how to do it.

At the end of the hour, Sun Kewang was tired, the so-called momentum of a drum was like a tiger, and then it declined, and then it was exhausted, but no matter how fierce the tiger was, it couldn't break through the city wall!

After three defeats in a row, the momentum of the Great Western Army has reached the bottom, but Qin Yiming did not launch a fierce attack after the three drums of the Qi army like Cao Di, Sun Kewang has also studied the book of war, he is on guard, he actually hopes that Qin Yiming's military formation can move at this moment more than anyone else, so that he will have the opportunity to wait for the opportunity to divide and outflank, and even exchange his life with the imperial camp.

And Yunnan is mountainous, whether it is Sun Kewang or Qin Yiming, it is impossible to carry heavy artillery on the march here, and even the number of small artillery is very small. Moreover, the military formations of the two armies were more than two miles apart, which exceeded the firing range of small-caliber artillery.

So it's so wasted? Qin Yiming is naturally quite willing, if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if it is consumed in the night, Sun Kewang will die quickly.

The imperial camp had a car array as a barrier, but Sun Kewang had to pay attention to Qin Yiming's sneak attack even when he set up a tent.

Sun Kewang gritted his teeth, dispatched two more battalions of soldiers and horses, and decided to try to attack again, but this time, he aimed at the cavalry of Ma Wannian on the right flank.

Sun Kewang dispatched all the cavalry under his command, totaling less than 8,000, which was less than the number of cavalry in the imperial camp of Ma Wannian.

But Sun Kewang was confident, because his 8,000 cavalry was by no means ordinary, and he was confident that his cavalry could defeat 20,000 Ming cavalry.

When Sun Kewang was about to urge the war drums, the horses of the cavalry of the Great Western Army were already eager to try, and the front hooves kept plowing the ground, and a pair of horse eyes were like the red eyes of a pair of fierce beasts, with fierce light and viciousness, looking straight at the Ming army.

As soon as the war drums sounded, before the cavalry could urge, all the war horses jumped up and charged, and they rushed desperately to the enemy formation, the kind of agility like a leopard, and the momentum like a tiger descending the mountain.

Sun Kewang watched his cavalry rush out, Shi Shiran smiled, what he tried to break was the biggest threat to his side: Ma Wannian's imperial cavalry.

If the imperial cavalry is defeated, his cavalry can take advantage of the situation to guerrilla attacks in the weak places of the imperial camp formation, until the gap is pried open, and then launch a general attack, with the bravery of his 8,000 cavalry, Sun Kewang believes that he can definitely do it.

Seeing that the eight thousand cavalry were like nomadic horsemen, drawing circles in the sky with their sabers held high, making all kinds of strange cries, and the formation was loose, but they rushed forward like arrows.
