"Order, the front and back of the Chinese army will open the distance between the front and the left, and the front will attack, and the rear will be on standby!"

Liu Zhengfeng knew that he couldn't wait and see, the Yuan army had stone cannons, if he had been staying where he was being beaten, the increasing casualties would soon lead to a decline in morale, these new soldiers are now basically relying on a desire for revenge, and the strength to survive in troubled times is supported here, most of the soldiers have not experienced many battles, have not seen bloody battlefields, and must make a decision while the morale of the army is available!

"King, the right flank has discovered a large force of cavalry of the Yuan army! They are outflanking the rear of the right flank of our army! "Suddenly, the lookout post on the wooden tower warned again!

"What? The Yuan Rider is dispatched! Liu Zhengfeng was originally sitting in the saddle, but when he heard this, he stepped on the horse's pedals, straightened up, and tried to look up at the right wing.

There was dust at this time, and all kinds of flags were flying, and although the sound of the Yuan Cavalry galloping could not be heard, he could barely see that his own array on the right wing was a little scattered.

"Look again! How many yuan ride? What else has changed? Yu Shichang was beside Liu Zhengfeng and shouted loudly at the lookout post on the wooden tower.

"My lord, it's too far away to see the number of Yuan Riders! They're about to get around! ”

"My lord, look at the banner, General Wan's men and horses have all rushed up!"

Liu Zhengfeng looked at the Yuan army array in front and muttered to himself: "Dog thief, it seems that the Yuan army means to break through with cavalry from the flank!" ”

Since the Chinese army of the Yuan army has not stepped forward to attack until now, Liu Zhengfeng estimated that the Yuan army adopted the tactics of defending in the middle and outflanking the two flanks. Look at Yu Zhilong's department again, where the sound of killing is shocking, the enemy and me are clearly on the fighting front, and the sound of war drums on both sides is inspiring their respective soldiers to move forward bravely.

Liu Zhengfeng is clear about the combat strength of Meng Qingyi's army, after all, everyone has been fighting for more than a year, and they all know each other better. Looking at the situation over there, Meng Qing has gradually used all his strength, and now I don't know if Yu Zhilong can resist it.

In the predetermined battle plan, Liu Zhengfeng and others made three strategies. The best strategy is to defend the whole army in advance, consume the sharpness and fighting spirit of the Yuan army, and then counterattack the whole army; The middle strategy is to take the initiative to attack after the completion of the defense purpose of the two flanks by the Zhilong Department or the Wanjinhai Division, and strive to defeat one or most of the Yuan army, and then determine the follow-up action after seeing the final effect; The next strategy was to resist the offensive of the Yuan army, and the whole army had to retreat into the city and hold on to wait for the opportunity.

No matter which strategy it is, Liu Zhengfeng's department, as the Chinese army, tried to delay with the enemy as much as possible and contain the main force of the Yuan army in the middle. Finally, use the cavalry to fight a counterattack.

At present, the left and right flanks are fighting fiercely, the right flank is the most dangerous, fortunately there are still reserve men and horses, according to the strategy of dealing with the Yuan cavalry, Liu Zhengfeng then ordered the spearmen of the rear team to immediately go to the right flank to support.

After watching the front formation move forward for dozens of steps, Liu Zhengfeng took out his sword, pointed at the Yuan army, and said: "Beat the drum, let General Liu Qi press the formation in the rear, and the Chinese army will charge with me!" ”

"Immediately spread the left and right flanks, because the Tartars have stone cannons constantly bombarding our department, the Chinese army took the lead in attacking, and had to do it, the generals of the two wings worked hard to kill the enemy, and this king has ordered General Liu Qi to suppress the formation!"

"Where is Yanhu?"

"What do you command, my lord?" The cavalry general Yan Hu stepped forward, and at this time, except for Yu Zhilong's department, the cavalry of all departments belonged to the Chinese army. Yanhu is the chief general of the cavalry.

"Our Chinese army launched, the purpose is to get close to the Tartars, entangle with them, so that their artillery can not be put into use, watch the enemy's Chinese army array is thick, there are a lot of firecrackers and arrows, this will not be less casualties, you should be careful of the two wings, especially the movement of the Tartar cavalry, now the right wing has been out of the battle Yuan cavalry, your department goes to the right wing, cooperate with the generals Wan and Qin, and quickly support, you must not let the Tartars succeed!" Liu Zhengfeng said hurriedly.

"As for the left wing, I think that Yu Zhilong has left a cavalry army, and he has a lot of plans and preparations, so it should be no big problem."

"No! Beware, King! Yan Hu took the order.

"Tell Liu Qi and Xia Houen that since they are the rear of our army, if our Shuntian army has to withdraw to the battalion, we must hold our position!" Liu Zhengfeng ordered again. This is the last move. In the event of a defeat in the early battle, according to the plan, the troops will withdraw to the large battalions and cities behind.

Several heralds galloped through the smoke and conveyed the general's order to the ministries.

The drums of war sounded, and the flags of the Chinese army waved again and again, signaling all units to follow the action. Liu Zhengfeng took the lead and rode forward! Yu Shichang kept ordering on the side to adjust the formation of the various units of the Chinese army, and several columns were lined up, with 100 people in each column, divided into small formations, and each column was separated from each other to prevent the flying stones in front.

In order to protect against the arrows and firearms of the Yuan army, the first few columns of soldiers were armed with simple wooden shields.

As soon as the Chinese army advanced here, there were several boulders smashed on the wooden tower, smashing the wooden shelf for a while, several wooden sticks with the thickness of a sea bowl could not withstand the huge force, some were smashed to bend or crack, and finally the last boulder was accurate again and fell on the bent part, only to hear a loud sound, the wooden tower of nearly five people high finally could not support, collapsed from top to bottom, several soldiers on it screamed, poofed to the ground, fell half to death.

Liu Zhengfeng didn't look at the fate of the wooden tower behind him at this time, with the continuous blow of the stone cannon, dozens of soldiers were smashed to the flesh and blood or broken bones and tendons, and the injured who couldn't die for a while lay on the ground and kept screaming and moaning, begging their companions to save themselves, or directly begging to give themselves a good time! The soldiers who followed behind couldn't bear to look directly at these tragic scenes, and under the loud reprimands of various officers, they silently bypassed these wounded soldiers and continued to move forward!

When Liu Zhengfeng led the team to rush towards the Yuan army, Yu Zhilong received Liu Zhengfeng's communication, watching the Chinese army gradually march towards the Yuan army's large array, Yu Zhilong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Since ancient times, the strength of the Chinese army in front of the two armies has been the strongest, and it is really helpless to make such a surprise attack. I only hope that the main force of the Yuan army can be attracted, and Liu Zhengfeng and other troops can hold on. Especially when he heard that some of the Yuan Qi began to flank Wan Jinhai, his heart couldn't help but sink.

Is it time for your side to start fighting back?

Seeing that Yu Zhilong's face was anxious, Zhao Shi whispered beside him: "Don't worry, adults, the war is in full swing, the military situation is changing like fire, and the generals should not move like a mountain!" ”

Yu Zhilong said vigilantly: "Brother Shi reminded me that I was impatient!" Then he ordered a herald to inform Wu Side's troops to keep calm in the large camp behind, and to be concealed and standby, and not to show their horses' feet.

Wu Side's department is Yu Zhilong's sword, and he will never move lightly until he has to.

"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain." Yu Zhilong muttered silently, took a deep breath, and gradually slowed down his mood. What you can think of and what you can do has been prepared, but the war is treacherous and ever-changing, and it is impossible for all personnel to be able to calculate in advance, unless you have the strength to crush one side and are not afraid of any calculations.

In the face of absolutely powerful forces, all intrigues and tricks are in vain. It's a pity that Yu Zhilong doesn't have this strength at all now.

Yu Zhilong and others have painstakingly arranged all kinds of preparations, let's see what is going on today.

Finally, the scouts came to report that a large force of Yuan cavalry had assembled behind Meng Qingyi's army, and bypassed the fierce battle between the two sides, and inserted diagonally from their left flank into their array.

It turned out that Meng Qing saw that it was difficult to distinguish between the front and the enemy, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom for a while, especially now that the casualties of the rebel army were obviously greater than those of the opponent, and after investing a large number of foot soldiers to no avail, he also supported first with an urgent request.

At the same time, the Yuan cavalry began to make a detour on the flanks of Wan Jinhai, preparing for a flank attack. Wan Jinhai and Qin Zhanshan hurriedly ordered the spearmen behind them to step forward, and at the same time seized the preset position, with the archers in the rear.

These bows and arrows are made in recent days, quite simple, no matter the range and power are far less than the standard bows and arrows of the Yuan army, the general standard bows and arrows can shoot two or three hundred steps, these self-made can only have lethality within 100 steps.

But it's better to have one more means of defense than none at all.

Yuan cavalry shouted, lined up in a row of fronts, the deputy commander in front of the envoy saw clearly, the thief army infantry moved to this side, and the other side's cavalry is still far behind the rear of the Chinese army, want to rush over to support, it is impossible for the time being, this time difference is the time when the Yuan cavalry shows its might.

The deputy commander raised his saber high, kept making circles on his head, and then pointed straight forward, which was a signal for the soldiers in the rear to keep in formation, follow up, and prepare for an assault!

The Yuan riders roared strangely, encouraging each other, and they excitedly urged the war horses to gallop. Everyone could see clearly that the thief army on the opposite side was a foot soldier, with an irregular formation, armed with simple wooden shields and spears, and many spears were bamboo poles, with iron spearheads in front.

Seeing the Yuan cavalry surging like a tide, Wan Jinhai quickly ordered the front line to be retracted, and at the same time moved his own part and Qin Zhanshan's part to his flank.

He was secretly glad in his heart that the sand table rehearsal before the war, during which there was a plan to outflank the two wings of the Yuan cavalry.

"Ge Laozi, I was really expected by everyone! Now it's up to Brother Qin! ”

Qin Zhanshan has received the warning and immediately dispatched soldiers to the front, this battlefield was repeatedly selected by Liu Zhengfeng, Yu Zhilong, etc., and finally determined, this land is relatively soft, very suitable for civil engineering operations.

When nearly a thousand Shuntian soldiers and soldiers were holding spears and waiting for the basic formation on the flank, the Yuan cavalry had already galloped in, less than four hundred steps!

The deputy commander urged the horse to speed again and again, looked at the opponent's untidy formation, and was bent on crushing the opponent at once. Once the opponent's array is penetrated, under the impact of the galloping cavalry, the opponent will soon turn into fish meat!

The flags were fierce, the horses' hooves roared, and the frightened pale faces of the soldiers on the opposite side were clearly visible.

Three hundred steps! Two hundred steps! One hundred steps!

Nearly 1,000 yuan rode as if taking medicine, the collective excitement was inexplicable, the swords held high were like a forest, and the charging formation was like a sea!

A bow costs a lot from production to daily maintenance, even if the Yuan court is rich, it can't do all the Yuan horses equipped with bows, not to mention that the court's finances are in dire straits, and it has reached a situation where it can't make ends meet. Yan Chibu can almost everyone have a strong bow, that is because Yan Chibu is a descendant of detachment, and priority equipment is given, but the bow and arrow equipped in Tang Wuwei is less than one-tenth, so Tang Wuwei is mainly frontal impact.

Suddenly, the two columns of Yuan cavalry in front were knocked down one after another, and the Yuan soldiers were unprepared and fell to the ground screaming like a gourd rolling on the ground, even if they were not injured for a while, they were often trampled into meat under the galloping horses behind.

The deputy general was shocked, slowed down the horse slightly, and looked around nervously, only to see that there were not only countless thatched grass on the ground revealing a lot of horse ropes, but also ditches or pits of trapping horses, etc., as more and more yuan riders were tripped down, the more these ditches and ropes appeared!

"Damn thief!" The adjutant general hurriedly shouted a warning and ordered the troops behind him to slow down, but once the cavalry accelerated, they couldn't adjust at all in a hurry, only to see the Yuan cavalry slamming into the ground one after another, and then being trampled to death by the follow-up companions.

An important reason why Yuanqi chose this path is that the area next to it is completely muddy and difficult to walk. If you want to rush into battle, this is the most direct way.

What this deputy didn't know was that last night, taking advantage of the starlight to barely see, Liu Zhengfeng mobilized thousands of soldiers to attract the stream to flood the water, and simply poured a large area of nearby land into mud, leaving only this relatively narrow path, for now.

Taking advantage of the terrain is a common practice in the army, Mingxiong knew that it was difficult for the Shuntian army to confront the Yuan cavalry, so according to the terrain in the north of the city, he specially offered this plan.

In order to keep secrets, the Shuntian army used many scouts to drive away the spies of the Yuan army, and all the laborers were soldiers. Fortunately, it only takes half a day, and if it is another two days, these muddy places will be as dry as ever.

The ditches and pits are covered with thatch and floating soil, which is difficult to spot without being stepped on.

For a time, about 100 horsemen fell on the way to charge!
