Chapter 244 One dies in battle, and the whole family dies when he escapes

Wave.

"Jiannu!"

With frightened shouts, the Ming army that was landing was in chaos.

"What's the panic?"

Yang Xin, who was standing on a high ground, held his horn and roared.

Then he looked up.

The dust of the cavalry running wildly in the distance is rapidly approaching this side, and the wave head forward is the modern old town of Dandong, from here to Zhenjiang City for dozens of miles is the Yalu River and the mountains and forests along the ribbon along the flat land, the cavalry set up a formation and rushed up almost unstoppable, although there are several small rivers along the way, but at best it can only be regarded as a ditch......

In fact, it is also called a ditch, what five ditches, six ditches and the like, but now it is not very clear what Yang Xin is called.

When the infantry encounters the cavalry in this terrain, it can be said that it is completely crushed.

There is nowhere to escape.

Either go into the mountains and be cut off inside.

Or be driven into the Yalu River.

In fact, some of the new troops are already fleeing in a panic......

"Poke to death!"

Yang Xin pointed to the soldier who was about to run back to a dinghy and shouted.

Next to the latter was a team of spearmen of the Dangkou Army who had just disembarked, and the leading officer looked up in amazement, but after seeing the direction of Yang Xin's finger, he immediately understood what he meant, and waved without hesitation, and the spears in the hands of dozens of companions beside him were instantly stabbed, and the deserter didn't even have room to resist, and was directly poked so that the flesh and blood were blurred and even the shape was very weird.

"I ran away before I saw Jiannu, this is a pro-military guard? This is how your ancestors followed Taizu to fight the world? ”

Yang Xin roared.

Those below who also wanted to run away quickly stopped.

"Bird Hammer come out, a team of people according to your training, I tell you, don't think that you can survive if you run, you know very well who I Yang Xin is, whoever dares to run away and go back to kill his whole family! Each team is in a formation, and six rows of soldiers in front and behind each team form a phalanx, and then one by one the phalanx is lined up from the river to this side to form a horizontal formation, and the teams are separated by two feet. The spearmen of the Dangkou army also lined up one by one, and then each team was filled in between the bird guns, and the Dutama moved quickly, and the Jiannu cavalry had not been lined up like this before the arrival of Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu did not send a penny. ”

Yang Xin roared.

The bird-screws hurriedly lined up in confusion.

This is not the case on weekdays, but they rely on chariots, and when they are about to fight, they are still in a chariot formation, but they are projected externally with all firearms and heavy firearms, supplemented by close protection of the sabbermen.

It's not scientific.

But it's also a helpless move.

After all, whether it is Xu Guangqi or Sun Yuanhua, they all know very well that these soldiers do not have the ability to fight with Jiannu in close quarters, and the Ming army can fight with Jiannu in close quarters is those generals, which are completely practiced for this purpose all year round, but these soldiers do not have this ability at all.

Not even the will.

So they simply fought for the amount of firepower.

It is equivalent to a medium-sized Hongyi cannon that should be a nine-pound cannon, a large furlong machine with a one-pound cannonball, a small furlong machine weighing 100 catties, and a turtledove and bird gun that are similar to carrying guns and are actually bracket heavy arquebuses.

It's all firearms.

A battle is a storm of bullets pasted past, hand-to-hand combat is a person and a knife, basically the end of the Qing Dynasty Huai Army's set of ideas, only talk about firepower output, after the output can be hand-to-hand combat is a miracle, running away is also forgivable. Their army building style is not much different from Li Er's devil, and they also like to buy, buy, buy, and buy, and the Hongyi cannon and turtledove are both bought from Macau.

This set of tactics is not scientific, and it is not even as good as the Zhejiang army trained according to Qi Jiguang's set.

Of course, Yang Xin didn't count on this.

Because the chariots, cannons, and small cannons were all still on the ship, and only the bird gunners and the spearmen of the Swing Army landed.

In the midst of the chaos, the formation was completed.

This one was not out of order, as from the beginning of the tidal tidal flats on the banks of the river, a musket team and a spear team were lined up at intervals, and even some of the musketeers were already crying. Fortunately, the spearmen are very calm, these swingers are all Yang Xin's fanatical followers, they are not afraid of dying for Yang Xin, these people are fundamentally different from musketeers. There were even those who were scolding the musketeers who tried to escape again, but they managed to maintain a steady front, and in fact a total of 4,000 infantry lined up.

And at this time, Jiannu in the distance was already faintly visible......

"Order Salazar to fire!"

Yang Xin said.

The herald next to him waved his flag.

The Dingzhen 2nd ship and those three-masted gunboats that had been out of place a long time ago immediately spewed flames at the Jiannu on the shore, but because they could not leave the deep-water channel, plus the largest of them were some six-pounder guns, unless the shells could hit directly, they could not kill anyone.

But it stabilizes morale.

The musketeers here watched the battleships lined up along the river constantly spew flames, and even faintly saw the Jiannu cavalry falling in a frenzy.

The mood is still somewhat stable.

"What kind of tactic is this!"

Sun Yuanhua said suspiciously.

He really doesn't understand this, he probably knows the Spanish phalanx, after all, the Portuguese play this, but Yang Xin's set is a mixture of Morris and Gu Erye, and it is also a simple version.

"Young's tactics."

Yang Xin said.

After saying that, he walked directly down the high ground with the Qinglong Glaive in one hand and the big horn in the other, and walked behind those soldiers......

"Listen, Yang is behind you, whoever dares to run away will kill whoever I want, and not only kill him, but also kill his whole family when I return to the capital, you can't win Jiannu and die here at most, you will die at most, and your family can still get compensation. You escaped and were cut down by me, and you have to die your whole family when you turn around, this battle is going to be lost, you may all die here, but I definitely won't die here, so what I say at the moment will be fulfilled for you.

What to cry about!

If you cry, you have to fight for me, and if you cry to death, you have to die against Jiannu. ”

He yelled.

The musketeers wept.

But they really didn't dare to run, they knew very well who Yang Xin was.

At this time, the Jiannu vanguard finally arrived, and Mang Gurtai was inlaid with blue flags, but these elite Manchurian cavalry of the Eight Banners were also at a loss when they saw this scene.

This formation is very weird.

The standard tactics of the Ming infantry against the cavalry were a quadrangular formation, with chariots as the periphery, cold weapons such as spears and other cold weapons with chariots to block the defense, firearms and bows and arrows to project remotely, of course, without chariots, large shields and horses may be used. But I have never seen this kind of staggered formation of spears and muskets, but this kind of one-line formation is the easiest to break through, in fact, the infantry did not dare to do this to the cavalry, especially the Ming infantry, basically collapsed with such a rush.

"Musketeers prepare, whoever dares to be the first to fire without my order, I will go back and kill his whole family."

Yang Xin roared.

The Jiannu cavalry on the opposite side began to line up.

Because of the barrier between the tidal flats and the shallow water, the shells rarely fell at this time, and because this area was sandwiched between the mountains and the river, it was not enough for the cavalry to maneuver on a large scale, so they directly took off their spears and prepared to charge hard.

"Hold it all down, blow the fire rope, don't let him extinguish the fire rope and don't know yet."

Yang Xin continued to roar.

The musketeers cried and blew the arquebus.

The spearmen remained calm, and the Bandar army was a hundred men in a formation, ten in formation, densely packed and almost crowded, and it was crowded to the maximum, and the team of musketeers was small, in fact, seven or seven or six formations.

And at the landing ground behind them, those small warships and boats were still constantly transporting follow-up heavy weapons ashore, because seeing that the situation here was critical, Shen Yourong sent his most elite soldiers ashore to reinforce them. They were guarding the cannons and heavy furlongs to the high ground where Yang Xin had been, while the small furlongs and turtledoves simply crossed a mudflat and entered a sandbar on the flank.

The former weighed 100 pounds, and in fact, the Ming army had dozens of pounds of Furlong machines.

Just lift it up.

But that muddy pond can block the passage of the Jiannu cavalry, but they can only use solid bullets in that position, and it is useless to use shotguns.

"Ready!"

Yang Xin shouted with a trumpet.

On the opposite side, Jiannu began to charge, the standard cavalry goose wing formation, the vanguard of ten thousand horses galloping gradually converged into an obtuse angle of impact, as if a huge chisel crashed into the seemingly fragile infantry line, all Jiannu on horseback frantically urged the war horses, one reins and the other with a spear, accompanied by a thunderous roar of horses' hooves.

One of the musketeers immediately broke down and ran away screaming......

"Write him down and go back and kill his whole family!"

Yang Xin roared.

After saying that, the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand suddenly flew out of the deserter in the middle, who was cut off by more than a hundred catties and then lay on the ground screaming, and the two musketeers who had already turned their heads were so frightened that they hurriedly turned back.

"Die in battle, run away and kill the whole family, raise your gun and aim, don't fire, the spearmen are ready to resist the enemy!"

Yang Xin roared.

The spearmen of the Swing Army immediately repelled the enemy.

Their spears were all extremely skilled, the front rows of diagonal support ground, the right hand in the back supported the front and the left hand pressed back and stretched diagonally forward, and the back even put the spear shaft on the shoulders of the person in front of them and stretched forward as much as possible, a hundred spears formed a terrifying spear forest, and the sharp spear tips shone in the sun......

The opposite Jiannu approached quickly.

The musketeers were trembling with their hands and legs, and their whole bodies were trembling......

"No fire, no order to kill the whole family if you don't order the first person to fire!"

Yang Xin roared.

The trembling musketeers continued to tremble.

The torrent of cavalry on the opposite side was like the waves of a tsunami, and the earth trembled like a wall......

Thirty zhang.

Twenty zhang.

Ten zhang!

Ten zhang can't fire either.

Finally, the trembling musketeers could see their opponents' faces clearly......

"Fire!"

Yang Xin roared.

All the musketeers almost screamed and pulled the trigger......

Like the eruption of a volcanic eruption, the smoke of gunpowder instantly obscured the battlefield, and the next moment a chaotic crowd shouted and neighed, and the screams of screams and the sorrow of the fallen horses sounded like another world on the other side of the smoke of gunpowder.

But none of the musketeers dared to see the result.

"Get behind the spearman and reload!"

Yang Xin roared.

With his roar, a ghostly figure that seemed to come from the Netherworld crashed into the smoke of gunpowder......
