Chapter 672: Chenghua Plough Court (4)

Zhang Xiaojun boarded the special Jiangtai City in the army, with a panoramic view of the vast battlefield in front of him, looking at the Jianzhou guards and horses in the distance, his eyes were full of hatred and contempt.

"Order: Immediately open fire from the artillery array, concentrate fire on the enemy's iron cavalry and heavy infantry!"

"Order!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

As the artillery of the Ming army began to roar, the battle began.

At this time, the Jianzhou Wei Great Array was hit hard, and the 40,000 slave army suddenly began to riot, and Aixin Jueluo Dongshan hurriedly sent troops to suppress it.

Seven or 80,000 Jianzhou guards and horses had already completed the formation at this time, and the 8,000 bird guns were in the middle of the horizontal formation, divided into six arrays, and 20,000 heavy armored infantry followed closely behind, forming a dense formation behind the bird gun array, ready to fight.

The 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry was assembled on the left flank of the Jianzhou Wei phalanx, ready to attack at any time; The 40,000 slave army, which had already begun to disarray, was assembled on the right flank of the phalanx, and even deserters had begun to appear at this time!

"Order the army on the right flank to attack immediately and attack the Ming army on the right flank!"

Aixin Jueluo Dongshan saw that the turmoil of the slave army was becoming more and more obvious, so he immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the 40,000 slave army to take the initiative to attack, and before the troops and horses of the army collapsed, they would first enter the battlefield and consume as much of the Ming army's strength as possible.

As for how much this move can play in reality, Aixinjue Luo Dongshan can only resign himself to fate.

At this time, facing the Ming army on the right flank of Jianzhou Guard, it happened to be the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard deployed on the left flank of the Ming army, and in the face of the charge of 40,000 slave troops, the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard, which had only 10,000 troops on the left flank, stood still.

Being able to obtain the name of the Ming Praetorian Guard is enough to show the strength of this army of soldiers and horses. Although for the time being, it is far from being comparable to the combat power of the various departments of the Tiance Army, and can only serve as the wing army of the various departments of the Tiance Army, but against the four-fold Jianzhou Guard Slave Army, the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard can still deal with it calmly.

"Ready! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Like all the departments of the Tiance Army, the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard is also all elite bird guns, when the 40,000 Jianzhou Guard slave army hit a hundred steps away from the big array, the large horizontal formation composed of 6,000 elite bird gunners began to wield, and the dense lead bullets formed a barrage, which suddenly swept over, and the 40,000 slave army was killed and wounded!

Immediately afterwards, the large horizontal formation of the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard began to rotate continuously, and one barrage after another continued, violently washing the large array of the Jianzhou Guard Slave Army.

After only a stick of incense, the corpses of the Jianzhou Guard slave army were covered in front of the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard, and the blood merged into streams, staining the entire battlefield red!

"Defeated!"

In the distance, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan looked at the slave army that had collapsed before rushing to the front of the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard, and sighed, his face was extremely white, and there was no blood.

Although the 40,000 slave army was not the main force of the Jianzhou Guard, it was a victory because of the strong troops, and it was suddenly easily defeated by the Ming army, which was a devastating blow to the morale of the Jianzhou Wei army.

What's more, at this time, the artillery array of the Ming army was still roaring, constantly bombarding the Jianzhou Wei array, if it weren't for Aixin Jueluo Dongshan's efforts to suppress it, the Jianzhou Wei Formation would have collapsed at this time.

"Fight!"

At this time, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan's eyes were red, although he knew that this battle was doomed to failure, but his career over the years of conquest had also allowed Aixin Jueluo Dongshan to train his blood, even if he was defeated at this time, he would have to suffer a heavy blow to the Ming army.

So, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan ordered 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry to go straight to the middle of the Ming army, and then he led the infantry to turn to the left, preparing to attack the artillery position on the right flank of the Ming army.

In Aixinjue Luo Dongshan's view, since the soldiers and horses on the flanks of the Ming army are so strong, the Tiance army guarding the Chinese army must be stronger, and the 8,000 birds and 20,000 heavy armored infantry in their hands will definitely not be able to win, it is better to sacrifice the 10,000 heavy armored iron cavalry to win time, and lead the main infantry to attack the artillery array on the right wing of the Ming army, even if it is defeated, as long as it can destroy hundreds of artillery pieces of the Ming army, it can be regarded as a defeat and glory!

I have to say that Aixinjue Luo Dongshan's plan is not wrong, and the decision is very decisive and timely.

But Aixin Jueluo Dongshan still overestimated the strength of his soldiers and horses, and in the face of the almost crushing combat power of the Ming army, any strategy and tactics of the Jianzhou Wei army were basically a joke!

"Charge!"

Looking at the roaring charge of 10,000 heavy armored iron cavalry, the overwhelming heavy armored cavalry rushed towards the large formation of the trapped army, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan only felt that his heart was dripping blood, this 10,000 heavy armored iron cavalry was his own hard work, it took many years and countless real money to build a strong team, but at this time, it can only be used as an abandoned child, which cannot but be said to be a tragedy.

didn't have time to think about it, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan hurriedly led the infantry to rush to the artillery position on the right flank of the Ming army, whether this strategy succeeds or fails in one fell swoop!

At the same time, Zhang Xiaojun also discovered the movement of the Jianzhou Wei army, so he immediately issued a series of orders.

"Order the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard on the left flank to ignore the battle in the center and on the right, and concentrate on continuing to pursue those scattered slave soldiers, and annihilate the enemy!"

"Order the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard on the right flank to prepare for battle, and not let a single Jiannu rush up the hillside!"

"Order the artillery array to concentrate its firepower to bombard the Jianzhou infantry formation, and give me a fight to the death!"

Then, Zhang Xiaojun looked around at the generals around him, only to see that the soldiers of the trapped army were waiting for the battle, and nearly 10,000 elite bird gunners had been lined up in three rows of horizontal formations, ready to fire and shoot at any time, even in the face of the group charge of 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry, the soldiers of the army were still strolling leisurely, and there were no waves on the faces of the soldiers, this is the lion of a hundred battles!

"Herald! The trap army engaged! ”

The herald next to him waved the trumpet flag vigorously, and the war drums in the distance suddenly exploded, and the bird's gun in front of the army suddenly roared.

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

After three roars, the morale of the army soared, and a murderous aura suddenly spread.

The 10,000 Jianzhou Guard's heavy armored iron cavalry army, which was less than two miles away from the trapping army's main array, seemed to sense something, and these iron knights heard the murderous roar, and they were suddenly a little timid, and the charging momentum of the entire army even stopped!

"There's still a mile!"

Zhang Xiaojun immediately ordered the whole army to open fire.

At this time, the bird gun equipped by the trapped army is a new type of bird gun newly developed by the Ministry of War: the Chenghua seven-year flintlock bird gun, which has a long range and great power, and can injure the enemy at a distance of one mile, and can break through armor in one hundred and fifty steps, and there is basically no armor that can be resisted within 100 steps!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The elite bird guns of the trapped army began to exert their might, and the 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry of Jianzhou Wei had just rushed into a distance of one mile before they were severely damaged.

I saw countless heavily armored iron horsemen screaming and falling off their horses, and then collided with their companions who rushed up from behind, and the entire riding array was suddenly in chaos.

The 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry was still charging, but they were always hovering at a distance of about one hundred and twenty paces from the trapped army, unable to take a single step forward.

This iron cavalry army is worthy of the elite of Jianzhou Wei, in the face of almost one-sided killings, it can continue to charge, fight to the death without retreating, and can also start throwing arrows and arrows to fight back piecemeal, even Zhang Xiaojun had to nod his head.

But that's not all!

"Thunder cannon!"

Zhang Xiaojun said in a cold voice, and then the flag of the Chinese army began to wave, and hundreds of new mine-throwing guns deployed in front of the formation began to roar, forming an area of dense explosions within a range of more than 100 steps in front of the trapped army.

Immediately afterwards, the large array of the trapped army began to advance, and more than 10,000 elite birdmen all mounted their bayonets and advanced in formation, advancing like a city wall.

Before the two sides could make contact, the heavily armored iron cavalry army that Aixin Jueluo Dongshan was proud of collapsed, and under the pressure of the trapped army, he directly turned his horse's head and fled backwards.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojun immediately mobilized the iron cavalry soldiers with his subordinates to attack, and more than 1,000 trapped iron cavalry roared out, chasing thousands of Jianzhou Wei heavy armored iron cavalry in pursuit.

"The big picture is decided!"

Zhang Xiaojun sneered and looked at the right flank of the battlefield, only to see that the infantry array led by Aixinjue Luo Dongshan had rushed to the bottom of the hillside, but in the face of the fierce blows of the artillery array, in the face of the continuous blows of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard, the formation was already unstable at this time, and Zhang Xiaojun had even seen many routs fleeing backwards.

"Order all units to encircle the enemy's infantry formation!"

Zhang Xiaojun led the large formation of the trapping army to press up from the flank and rear, and killed the Jianzhou Guard infantry formation.

At this time, Aixinjue Luo Dongshan had already found that the Iron Cavalry Army had been defeated, and his heart was suddenly like ashes, and now the Ming army's artillery array was still as stable as Mount Tai, and it seemed that his plan had completely failed.

In the face of the large array of the trapped army that was being killed, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan had completely given up resistance, and the stunned horses were in the formation, allowing the soldiers and horses under his command to gradually rout and flee.

The battle only lasted less than half an hour, and the eight thousand bird guns carefully built by Aixin Jueluo Dongshan held out for a while at first, but after being covered by the fire of the Ming army's divine machine artillery truck, they suddenly collapsed on the spot.

The 20,000 Jianzhou Wei heavy armored infantry did not play the slightest role, the heavy heavy armor seriously limited the activities of these elite soldiers, and under the strong firepower of the Ming army, they could not rush to the front at all, and could only become a live target of the Ming army, and finally fled in the same rout.

"Spread out! Destroy the enemy! ”

Zhang Xiaojun took a group of personal soldiers and generals of the Chinese army to the artillery array, and then ordered the trapped army, the Fourth Guard, and the Fifth Army of the Janissary to disperse, and did their best to encircle and suppress the Jianzhou Guard inside and outside the battlefield.

In this battle, Zhang Xiaojun led the trapping army, the fourth army of the Praetorian Guard, and the fifth army of the Praetorian Guard to participate in the battle, and gathered more than 70,000 main forces of Jianzhou Wei in the first battle, and beheaded the leader of Jianzhou Wei, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan, and the Ming army lost less than 1,000 troops!
