Chapter 592: Thunder's Fury
On the same day that Sun Yuanhua landed in Huainan and began to attack Xuyi.
Fengyang.
Imperial Tomb.
"Yingguo Gong is really a loyal minister!"
Liu Zhen, the eunuch of Fengyang's garrison, said with a smile on his face.
Yang Dudu, who had just finished worshipping Zhu Wusi, stood up with a solemn face.
"Father-in-law Liu, what do you mean by this?"
Then he said with a sinking face.
At the same time, a group of generals behind him also got up......
"Could it be that Gonggong Liu, do you also have any misunderstanding about Yang? What Yang is really a loyal minister, isn't it natural for Yang to be a loyal minister? Do you also believe in the false accusations of those traitors? Do you also think that Yang is disloyal to His Majesty? ”
Yang Xin reprimanded angrily.
Behind him, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong immediately drew their knives at the same time, looking at Liu Zhen viciously.
Liu Zhen was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt down directly.
"Yingguo Gong spares his life, the little phlegm fan is talking nonsense, begging Yingguo Gong to spare his life!"
He said.
"Humph!"
Ying Guogong snorted coldly.
On the other side, the generals who stayed behind in the division broke out in a cold sweat one by one.
"This time this time the army of the Qing monarch side of the Jingguo difficulty, just for the traitors in the court to deceive the holy hearing, so I have to follow the example of the sages, with extraordinary actions to help the community, but this lord's loyalty to His Majesty can be demonstrated, those traitors framed this lord for rebellion, just to disturb people's hearts to cover up their crimes, you must not be deceived by these traitors."
Ying Guogong said.
A group of generals hurriedly nodded their heads, indicating that they fully understood Ying Guogong's good intentions.
Of course, that's what you don't understand.
Anyway, Fengyang has long been taken over by the Jingnan Army, and they, the generals of the original Fengyang guards, have long been driven here to guard the mausoleum at this time, and the original military households outside have already divided their land, and they have not been raided, which means that they surrendered quickly, as for Yang Xin's rebellion or not, it is no longer something they can manage, honestly guard the mausoleum here, and wait for the result of this war!
Isn't it good to be alive?
"Lord, the Mongol cavalry has arrived on the north shore!"
At this time, an officer came over and saluted Yang Xin and said.
"It seems that Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want us to cross the Huai River safely, let's go, go and meet these Mongolian cavalry, anyway, our brothers haven't fought yet!"
Yang Xin said.
Linhuai Pass.
Smoke filled the air, and the sound of artillery rumbled.
In the wilderness of the north shore, the torrent of countless cavalry surged forward, and the gallop of war horses thundered like hooves.
In the midst of them flowering shells constantly exploded.
The same roar of solid bullets is constantly piercing the air, hitting a splash of flesh and blood, but it can not stop the torrent of numbers, even if there are hundreds of cannons on the south bank of the Huai River, it is useless, the cannonballs have no power at all after flying over the vast river, and there is also no accuracy, even hundreds of cannons are useless in front of more than 3,000 cavalry.
"Steady!"
Li Jin, who had been promoted to brigade commander, roared.
There was a small formation in front of him, with his back to the Huai River, guarding the pontoon bridge behind.
This formation is not Morrisian.
The whole formation is not a three-line formation, but the main force is all pressed on the first line.
But unlike the Morris style, which is lined up, this formation is a zigzag.
At the front was a phalanx of thirty-six spears, and on either side of the phalanx were sixteen by six spearmen.
This front was followed by an identical phalanx of spears on the left and right, with a gap in between, and on either side of the two phalanxes of spears there was a phalanx of thirty-two by six muskets, all of whom were in groups of four by six, with large intervals between each group to facilitate passage.
Outside the musket phalanx were a small number of cavalry to protect the flanks, and the cavalry was also divided into four small formations, two on the left and two on the left, and in the middle of the two cavalry formations, each with a group of twenty by six musketeers.
Behind it is a spear musket formation that is the same as the front......
Well, this is the ancient second master style.
A standard Swedish brigade with cavalry in an inverted T formation.
And they were faced with the Mongol cavalry from the Mobei steppe.
Trans-Khalkha Ministry.
Or the current Ming Shunchang County Wang's Department.
This cavalry from the distant Mobei steppe was the first to reach the Huai River, and although they were enduring the heat of Huaibei in early summer, these cavalry from the northeastern part of modern Mongolia and the Hulunbuir steppe of Inner Mongolia still showed their bravery.
They also have no choice.
Because the reward they received for fighting for the Ming Emperor was the only hope for those tribesmen in the north to survive the famine, the Ming Emperor gave them military salaries, which they handed over to the merchants, who were responsible for transporting grain to the grasslands, and although the price of grain was ridiculously high, these grains were the only hope for their people to survive.
The climate outside Guanwai has not improved this year, in fact, it will only get more and more serious in the future, and it will soon become the decisive battle between Lin Dan Khan and wild boar skin in the original history, and the whole grassland will starve all over the wilderness, at this time the whole world is feeling the power of climate upheaval, not that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by this natural disaster, Lin Dan Khan was also destroyed by natural disasters to some extent.
The Wa Kingdom is also entering the Kuanyong Strange Wilderness.
Europe......
Europe is cutting its size.
The effects of the natural disaster on them were completely offset by the sea of corpses and blood of the Thirty Years' War, and in fact famine was the root cause of countless bloody wars in Europe throughout the seventeenth century.
Including the English Civil War.
All of us are struggling to find our own way of survival in the midst of famine.
Following Lin Dan Khan's attempt to rob the failed Shuo base by force, he quickly chose to be the king of Shunchang County of the Ming Emperor, and survived as mercenaries.
"Change formation!"
Li Jin roared.
The next moment, the second row of musketeers, who had been in the original six rows, stepped forward to stand side by side with the first column, half-kneeling on the ground and raising the new arquebus, which no longer needed a bracket.
The third and fourth rows stepped forward at the same time.
They stood side by side behind this platoon, leaning forward slightly and raising their arquebuses to aim, and then the fifth and sixth rows stepped forward and stood behind them in the same row and raised their arquebuses, and the whole formation was in four groups before and after, a total of nearly 600 arquebuses aimed at the front and rear of the cavalry at the same time.
The entire formation is actually not wide, and it only adds up to more than two hundred meters, and there are not many frontal cavalry forwards with such a width.
If you stand up to the sky, you will ride a hundred.
"Steady, no fire is allowed without an order!"
Li Jin shouted.
All the musketeers waited silently as they watched the torrent coming from the distance, and no one retreated, although they were also full of fear when they first went to battle, but behind them was home, the happy life they had just gotten, and the longed-for loved ones.
They can't go back.
Even if you die here, you can't retreat.
And the three spear phalanxes supported their spears at the same time, and the six-fold spear forest was still enough.
The torrent of cavalry was rapidly becoming clear.
The charge of thousands of troops made the tremors of the ground equally clear, and the artillery bombardment in the rear continued, and the flowering shells continued to explode in the cavalry, and even in the sky because of the fuse problem.
All the soldiers were trembling.
This is instinct, there is nothing to be ashamed of, the infantry face the cavalry that crashes into them, fear, trembling are all instincts, but faith keeps their legs firmly nailed to the ground under their feet, and then silently watches the torrent of cavalry approach, soon less than fifty zhang, then less than thirty zhang, then twenty zhang......
But the order to open fire was still not sounded, and all the soldiers continued to wait in silence.
And then there are the ten zhang.
The final order sounded when the advance of the cavalry reached a drawn white line within ten zhang......
"Fire!"
Li Jin roared.
Then countless of the same shouts rang out.
All the musketeers pulled the trigger, and the salvo of nearly 600 muskets also rang out like thunder, and the two groups of musketeers in front of them after firing the bullets did not even look at the situation on the other side, and according to their usual training, they put away their muskets and retreated as quickly as possible, retreating to the gap between the three spear formations to reload.
And they were already on their backs.
Although the Jingnan army is two columns in front and back, but between the two columns is the length of a spear, this distance can be ignored, when the musketeers in the front row fired, the nearest cavalry has reached less than thirty meters, even for the musketeers behind, the distance is only more than thirty meters. At such a distance, arquebuses were able to reach the hit rate of forty percent of the actual battle, and nearly 600 arquebuses fired a salvo of about 100 cavalry on the front, with the result that almost all the cavalry forwards were spared, and all fell under the dense bullets.
Their fall forced the cavalry to slow down to bypass them, or to leap over them with their horses, but the result was a chaotic formation.
But there are still successes.
But alas, they have lost the initial seemingly unstoppable impact speed.
When they rushed to the front of the battle in the smoke of gunpowder, they had to face a myriad of spears.
There is no suspense in the outcome.
The ramming of scattered cavalry into such a spear formation was no different from suicide.
Some of them were clever enough to bypass, but they also needed to bypass the two spear formations in the back, so they continued to go around to the sides, instinctively choosing the two musket phalanxes on the left and right, but the latter, like the musketeers in the first row, quickly retreated behind the spearmen, while the cavalry next to them raised their short guns, and the Mongol cavalry fell one after another in the dense gunfire.
However, there were still some breakthroughs that broke through and rushed into the space that the musketeers had conceded.
However......
There's also a formation in the back.
The musketeers on either side of the last formation pulled the trigger, and the dense barrage of bullets hit, and the dead bodies blocked the gap at once.
The Mongol cavalry in the rear continued to circle the ......
Then there is the cavalry phalanx, and there is a musket phalanx in the cavalry phalanx waiting for their arrival.
But at this time, the previous musketeers finished loading, and the musketeers in the middle of the retreating spear phalanx were the first to start firing, and then the musketeers who were originally on the two flanks of the spear phalanx also finished reloading, and walked among the dead bodies everywhere, and a new round of thunderous fury fell on the heads of the Mongol cavalry again......
(It's finally quiet, it's still two chapters today)
