Chapter 110: The Battle of the Han River V

Without the harassment of the Qing army, the Xia army did not walk slowly, and arrived in front of the Qing army camp before noon.

Although the camp of the Qing army was on the road, it was not impossible to bypass.

Seoul is surrounded by plains from the Han River, although it is not too big, but it is possible to take a detour, but it makes little sense to do so, and not far behind the army is Seoul. Even if it is a detour, if the Qing army wants to fight with the army, it will always find an opportunity.

If a winner is not decided, Xia Jun will not want to enter Seoul.

There's always going to be one, sooner or later.

Four or five miles from the Qing army camp, the army was stationed. Zhou Fuchen, under a group of guards, looked at the camp of the Qing army from a distance in front of the battle.

Although the camp of the Qing army is very simple, but the soldiers in the camp are not simple, one by one helmet and armor, it looks full of spirit, although it is a green flag, not the soldiers of the Eight Banners, but in the green camp of the Qing army, there are also some difficult bones to gnaw.

If the Qing army dares to block the big task, they know that this green battalion is not easy to deal with.

Not to mention the large number of cavalry on both sides of the camp, silent, as if they were statues. Or like trees, but no one with eyes will stop them from harmlessness.

Knowing that in the midst of a big war, these people must make a move.

"Officer Liang Ying, General Yang called your battalion, the law is strict is the crown of the army, even Your Majesty has heard of your reputation, but the previous reputations are all false, and now in the first battle, let the people of the world see whether your reputation is true or false." Zhou Fuchen waved his leather whip and said, "Take this battle for me." ”

Liang Huafeng said loudly: "Obey." ”

He then strode down, standing in front of his whole battalion, how to tear off the helmet, three times and two times, and also ripped off the mandarin duck jacket, under the temperature below zero, Liang Huafeng was shirtless, with this waist knife. Because he has just voted for the Xia Army, he has just been in the Qing Army, and his hairstyle in the Qing Army was a money rat tail, but now although he has been raised for a while, he still hasn't raised it well. Therefore, the hair is also scattered, but it is only shoulder-length.

Like a savage.

He snatched the flag from behind him, stood on the side of the queue, and yelled, "Brothers, come with me." ”

Then the rumbling drum sounded and remembered.

The drum sound was extremely heavy, and it seemed to have a hint of Qin charm.

Most of Liang Huafeng's troops were Qin, although after he surrendered, in order to strengthen control, some officers and non-commissioned officers were transferred out, and some new people were transferred in, but it could not change the fact that more than 50% of the soldiers in this army were Qin soldiers.

Beam at the moment

Hua Feng led by example, and the soldiers of the brigade all stimulated their morale, and this formation slowly dispersed. The distance between the men was one step apart, and the musketeers and pikemen were mixed together, although there were only three thousand people, but when they were spread out, they were actually more than a mile wide.

What's even more incredible is that the soldiers are scattered, but their behavior is still uniform, and there seems to be only one sound in the world, that is, their footsteps, three thousand steps are all stepping together, turning into one.

Seeing this, Zhou Fuchen also sighed slightly in his heart. This Liang Huafeng really has some ability to train soldiers. Immediately, with a wave of his hand, two more battalions marched forward from both sides behind Liang Huafeng's battalion, but their formation was a dense formation, just to protect Liang Huafeng's flanks and behind.

This is a state of contradiction.

If they attacked in a dense formation, they would have suffered heavy casualties under the artillery and firearms of the Qing army.

Since the spread of the iron mold casting method, the biggest impact has been the reduction in the cost of artillery. The increase in artillery in the army is not the large artillery, but the small artillery. Small cannons, such as tiger squat cannon and Franc machine gun, can simply be described as flooding.

No matter what kind of battle, if you don't pull out dozens of doors, you're embarrassed to greet people.

The offense of the foot soldier is weak and the defense is strong, and it has become a reality.

Attacking a place repeatedly cannot be attacked, and it is impossible to rush into the military formation, and these things have gradually entered the eyes of today's famous generals. It's not just that the cavalry of the Qing army is unwilling to rush into the infantry of the Xia army, but even the cavalry of the Xia army will not rush into the infantry of the Qing army, of course, this has something to do with the preciousness of the cavalry of the Xia army, but the relationship is not too big.

This is the impact of the widespread use of firearms.

But the infantry fought against the cavalry in a dense formation, but could not attack the enemy in a dense formation. Now the sparse array used by Liang Huafeng is a military attempt.

To be honest, in such a situation, Zhang Xuan had nothing to think about for a while. 、

Could it be that both sides lined up to be shot like the West?

No, it can't be.

It's not that this tactic of queuing up to shoot is not good. Maybe in the future, there will be a man on both sides, and the two sides will fight in the narrow alleyway. It had to be so.

No, even if the two sides are fighting in the alleyway, the general's idea must be to find a way to lure the enemy army to attack me. In the end, I will only want to line up and shoot the general war as a last resort.

And even if you want to fight like this, the other party may not want to.

Under the influence of Zhang Xuan's military thoughts, among the many young generals below, there are also many factions and many tactical and strategic ideas. There are those who advocate heavy artillery to suppress the enemy, and there are those who advocate shallow attack and encroachment, and attack step by step, but there are no advocates of lining up to be shot.

Nobody even thought of it?

This may be the difference between Eastern and Western philosophies.

And in the face of the opponent's dense firepower, it is already the consensus of many people to line up and sparse the formation.

But what kind of thinning is the most appropriate, and there is no definite say. And Liang Huafeng's approach is one of the attempts.

However, how can these words resist the cavalry onslaught of the Qing army?

This made Zhou Fuchen a little worried.

This not only caused Zhou Fuchen's worries, but also aroused Azig's curiosity. Since he was curious, he had to send someone to try it. At the sound of an order, more than 1,000 horsemen came out from one side and killed Liang Huafeng's army formation.

When Liang Huafeng saw the Qing cavalry appear, he was not surprised. The flag waved in his hand.

Liang Huafeng's battalion changed formations in an instant.

They did not take one sentry as a phalanx, but one hundred households as a phalanx, and in the small battlefield, there were thirty phalanxes, and these thirty phalanxes were all spears like a forest, like hedgehogs stabbing outside.

And under these hedgehogs, the firecrackers are ready. At the same time, there are grenades - bombs that you want to throw outside at any time.

More than 1,000 horsemen rushed to the front of a phalanx, and more than 1,000 iron horsemen rushed over at a rapid speed. At this moment, the cavalry relied on the power of galloping horses, and this strength was by no means something that human beings could resist. This small phalanx of 100 people was a little too small in number, but it was scattered in a moment.

But when they dispersed, the Qing army did not pay a price, and under the sound of firecrackers and explosions, almost as many Qing troops died in the formation.

It's just that the destruction of this military formation is not the end of the battle, but the beginning.

The cavalry's greatest weapon is speed. But the speed had already been exhausted in the first phalanx of the impact, and there was no room for them to accelerate again. And because of inertia, they can only rush inside.

This time, they encountered not a phalanx, but a labyrinth of small phalanxes.

If their speed decreases, if they rush hard into the second phalanx, it is possible to break through, it is possible to break through, and stop, but these are Xia troops in all directions, as long as they stop, what kind of fate will they have. Naturally, they knew it very well, so they chose to pull their horses and go around the phalanx, trying to rush through the gaps in the phalanx. Wait outside to regroup the horses, and then come back.

This kind of thinking cannot be said to be wrong.

Most of the horse battles are like this, this time and again is called a one, the Jin Dynasty generals shouted: "If you don't fight a hundred he, you can't be a horse army." "That's it.

But what can he think of, others can't think of?

Xia Jun can also think of it, and Liang Huafeng can also think of it, so as soon as they come in, they don't want to go out. The Qing army seemed to have entered a labyrinth of layers, dozens of small squares, placed together, although they were a lot thinner because of their dispersion, but there were a lot of changes. It seems to be ambushed on all sides, embattled on all sides, and there is a dead end everywhere.
