Volume VIII Chapter 50 Leading the Army into Battle
In front of the two armies, Yue Tuo slowly raised his head, staring closely at the Ming army's car formation, his eyes slowly showed a fierce look, his subordinates had been resting for nearly a quarter of an hour, and it was time to charge.
If they don't charge again, when the Ming army in the direction of Jinzhou City catches up, they will have no chance.
He took a deep breath and said to Haoge on the side: "Big brother, I will take the four banners of the right wing to attack the Ming army's car formation, remember, once I rush into the car formation, you immediately lead the four banners of the left wing to follow, otherwise there will be no chance." ”
Hauge nodded in a panic, and then galloped to the left.
Yue Tuo looked at Haoge's back, his eyes slowly showed a decisive look, Haoge just rushed to the left flank of the four banners to fight the horse and stand up, he did not hesitate to pull out the spear in the pouch behind him, raised his gun and shouted: "The four flags of the right wing, follow me." ”
After that, he directly slapped the horse's buttocks with the body of his gun and went straight to the left flank of the Ming army's chariot formation.
"Kill." As soon as he launched, the 30,000 foot soldiers of the four banners on the right flank followed him with a roar, and rushed forward quickly.
Seeing this scene, Li Dingguo pursed his lips disdainfully, then turned his horse's head and said loudly: "Each of them will return to the formation, guard their own areas, and don't support indiscriminately without my orders." ”
After that, he directly beat his horse through the chariot formation and came to the artillery array behind, and Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others immediately scattered and disappeared into the formation.
The reason why they retreated was not because they were afraid of death, the main three rows in front were chariots and musketeers, and if they were in the way, it would be difficult for the musketeers behind them to shoot.
Two miles away, spread his feet and run wildly, it will be a stick of incense time, if Yue Tuo gallops wildly, even half a pillar of incense time can rush to the Ming army chariot array, but he did not do this, the opposite side is at least tens of thousands of Ming troops, he doesn't think that he can be like Changshan Zhao Zilong, in the tens of thousands of troops to kill seven in and seven out.
He carefully controlled the speed of the horse, trying to maintain a similar speed with the foot soldiers behind him, at the same time, he also pricked up his ears with a little vigilance, ready to dodge the shells of the Ming army at any time, he even wore armor on men and horses, but he was not very afraid of musket bullets, the shells were different, even if he was wearing two layers of armor, he couldn't bear a shell when it fell down!
At this time, the artillery array of the Ming army on the left flank was already in a formation of orders, and thousands of artillery soldiers quickly adjusted the angle of the artillery, and then skillfully pushed the sub-gun into the mother gun, and the action was like a cloud of water in the same direction, and soon, more than 200 running positions raised the prepared order flag.
Yue Tuo led the army to attack Liu Wenxiu's defense area, at this time Liu Wenxiu was raising his right hand, staring closely at the Jiannu footmen, judging the distance between the two sides, half a pillar of incense was not yet time, he decisively waved his hand down, and shouted: "Open the cannon." ”
"Boom, boom, boom", there was a loud bang, and more than 200 shells smashed into the enemy with a whistling sound, and the battle finally began.
Yue Tuo heard the roar of artillery, and hurriedly looked up at the sky, fortunately, the Ming army did not concentrate on bombarding him alone, all the shells were not aimed at him, but at the foot soldiers behind him, more than 200 shells killed more than 200 people at most, his face did not change in the slightest, and he still hit his horse and rushed towards the Ming army's chariot formation.
The cannonballs fell rapidly, and hundreds of blood arrows suddenly flew out of the formation of the four banners of the right wing, and most of the foot soldiers who were hit by the cannonballs were broken and fractured, and flew upside down with blood, of course, there were lucky ones, but they were just smashed off their arms or broken legs, this loss was really nothing for the 30,000 army, if it was a peasant army, they might be frightened and scattered, but the foot soldiers of the Eight Banners would not, although they spared their lives, they were not afraid of death, and the death of this person did not have any effect on them, they were still howling wildly, Rushing forward.
"Bang bang", the roar of the artillery has just subsided, and the Ming army remembered the dense musket sound in the vehicle formation, Yue Tuo hurriedly raised his hand to block the mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of eyes to stare ahead, at this time the bullets could not penetrate the armor, after a burst of crackling noise, Yue Tuo was nothing at all, but the foot soldiers behind him were knocked down in a large row, the formation of the charge was obviously chaotic, and the shouting and killing began to be mixed with terrible screams, however, the foot soldiers of the Eight Banners on the right flank still firmly followed behind Yue Tuo, and frantically rushed towards the Ming army's car formation, Their performance is not known how many times better than the foot soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
However, it is useless to perform well, the guns do not have eyes, in the face of bullets and shells, no matter how good the performance is, you have to lie down, the roar of the guns and cannons continues to sound, the charging foot soldiers fell one after another, just a distance of more than two hundred steps, half of the people fell on the way, when Yue Tuo led the army to rush to the front of the car formation, the foot soldiers behind him were less than 15,000 people!
At this time, the musketeers of the Fuguang Army had already retreated in batches, replaced by hundreds of mandarin duck formations led by Liu Wenxiu, who relied on chariots to stretch out their spears, wolf whisks and palladium, and the entire chariot formation suddenly became like a group of hedgehogs, which looked numb.
Yue Tuo rushed to the front of the battle, and without hesitation, he poked the spear in his hand forward, stretched out under a chariot, and then shouted loudly, and struggled to pick the chariot to the right, and the entire chariot was unexpectedly lifted up by him and smashed on a chariot next to him.
Good guy, there is a lot of brute force, Liu Wenxiu saw this scene without hesitation and rushed up, entangled with Yue Tuo, and the two sides finally started a fierce hand-to-hand fight.
After all, Liu Wenxiu's subordinates only have 10,000 people, and after removing the musketeers, artillery and cavalry, his infantry is worth 5,000 people.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo decisively ordered: "Pass the order, let Wang Shangli on the left lead his foot soldiers to support." ”
A herald guard behind him hurriedly raised a command flag high, and Wang Shangli, who was on the far left, saw this, and hurriedly led his men to rush towards Liu Wenxiu, and at this time, Hao Ge suddenly led his 30,000 men and horses straight to Yue Tuo's rear wing, obviously, he wanted to join forces with Yue Tuo, break through the defense line, and break through.
Hmph, I want to run, but there is no door!
Seeing this, Li Dingguo did not hesitate to order: "All the foot to go up to support, all the cavalry, assemble behind Liu Wenxiu's formation, and kill." ”
With that, he directly raised his spear, beat his horse and rushed towards Liu Wenxiu's formation, and nearly 5,000 foot soldiers behind him moved, and the entire battlefield once again resounded with an earth-shattering shout of killing.
Yue Tuo can also be regarded as a fierce general in the entire Houjin Eight Banners, he thought that such a young general in front of him was not his opponent at all, and he could clean him up in three or two clicks, but he never thought that his martial arts were no worse than him, he fought fiercely with him for a long time, and he couldn't tell the winner.
When did such a young general with strong martial arts come out in the Ming army, I have never heard of it!
