Li Mingfu, the commander of the 131st Regiment of the Dingliao Army, was born as a martial artist, and was assigned to the Dingliao Army as a guerrilla general after the high school of Jiaxu Kewuju in the seventh year of Chongzheng.

At this time, he was holding a telescope and staring at the shield wall in the front row of the rebels, the height of this wooden giant shield was about two meters, as a reference, when the height of the giant shield in the telescope reached five squares, the enemy entered the range of the 417 howitzer, when the height of the giant shield in the telescope reached six squares, the enemy entered the range of the 317 howitzer, when the height of the giant shield in the telescope reached eight squares, the enemy entered the range of the 24 flintlock pistol, when the height of the giant shield in the telescope reached 10 squares, then there was no need for a telescope, The enemy is already close at hand, get on your bayonet and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

It's a pity that the Dingliao Army is the third-class army of the Ming Dynasty, each infantry regiment is only equipped with twenty 317-type howitzers and 20 417-type howitzers, if the infantry regiment of the first-class regiment of the Ming Dynasty, the 317-type, 417-type, 520-520, and 618-type howitzers add up to 100 guns, even if there are only 5,000 people, there is a possibility of winning the battle when encountering 100,000 such thieves, but the Dingliao army can't, he can only delay as much as possible and wait for nearby friendly troops to come to support.

If you want to win the battle, then use dense shells to smash the shield wall in front of you, and then the infantry will set up a wave formation, control the distance from the enemy, try to consume the enemy with bullets, and then rush up when the consumption is almost exhausted, throw grenades, and then fight hand-to-hand. However, he only has a total of forty guns, and it is the shortest range, according to the enemy's advancing speed, if he aims at the shield wall, he only has a chance to fire a salvo, even if all forty solid bullets are hit, at most he can smash fifty or sixty wooden giant shields, and there are thousands of giant shields in front of the opposite formation, and it makes no sense to smash fifty or sixty sides.

However, if you use scattered bullets to directly attack the enemy behind you, then according to the enemy's advancing speed, you can fire at least two salvos, the giant shield is able to block the bullets of the flintlock gun, but the shells are projectiles, and the enemy behind the giant shield is simply a moving meat target in front of the cannonballs.

The height of the giant shield in the telescope has reached two squares, which means that the enemy will enter the range of the 417 howitzer after about three minutes, Li Mingfu decisively ordered: "Order the 317 howitzer and the 417 howitzer to be loaded with scattered shells, and the infantry will line up in three rows behind the big battalion." ”

The herald flag behind him waved, and the artillery immediately began to reload the shells, and the infantry scattered like a stream of water, forming three rows.

Soon the height of the enemy's giant shield in the telescope reached five squares, and Li Mingfu immediately ordered: "The 417 howitzer is fired, and after firing, it will be loaded with scattered bullets and fired five rounds in a row." ”

"Boom, boom, boom" There was a roar of artillery, and hundreds of egg-sized shotguns covered the rebels, and the infantry in the front row of the rebels immediately raised the giant shield to block the top of their heads, but it was almost useless, because the target of the scattershot was not the giant shield in the front row at all, but the infantry behind the giant shield.

"Ahhh This round of salvo rebels lost at least a thousand people, of course, this is nothing for a hundred thousand troops, and the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life gritted their teeth and ordered, continue to advance!

Li Mingfu saw that the rebels continued to charge without stopping, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hang a sneer, and when the height of the giant shield in the telescope reached six squares, he decisively ordered: "The 317-type howitzer is fired, and it will be loaded with scattered bullets immediately after firing, and five rounds will be fired in a row." “

Now it was lively, the 417 howitzers and 317 howitzers on the side of the Ming army camp roared in turn, and some people on the rebel side kept falling, and some fell and didn't move, but more of them rolled on the ground in pain, and the infantry phalanx, which was not very neat, immediately turned into a plate of loose sand.

The leaders of the rebels from all walks of life were stupid, more than 1,000 people in one round, more than 1,000 people in one round, and more than 10,000 people in ten rounds, you must know that the infantry of the rebels is only 40,000 or 50,000 people, and they can't afford such losses, so they unanimously ordered, withdraw, withdraw quickly!

Seeing this scene, Luo Ru after the formation couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and then shouted: "The cavalry immediately charged from both flanks, regardless of the formation, just rush over, the faster the better." “

The herald behind him waved the banner quickly, and the two wings of the rebel infantry phalanx immediately remembered the sound of dense horse hooves, and the countless cavalry of the rebel army rushed towards the battalion of the 131st Regiment like a torrent.

Finally came, Li Mingfu shook his head and smiled bitterly, this Luo Rucai is really cunning, use infantry to attract firepower, and then use cavalry to charge, with the charging speed of cavalry, the artillery has no time to adjust the angle, and the 24-type flintlock pistol can only fire one round at most, and then, it is estimated that there will be no then.

I didn't expect that I would be martyred for the first time I commanded the battle, although it was a pity, but he was not afraid, he was already downbeat about life and death, and he only had the courage and loyalty to Daming in his heart!

He slowly put down the binoculars, pulled out the big knife behind his back, and shouted: "Order, the infantry platoon is in a three-stage formation, after firing a salvo, immediately put on the bayonet, prepare the grenade, once the enemy enters within fifty steps, immediately throw the grenade, and then rush up to hand-to-hand combat." Remember, we are the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, don't insult the Sun and Moon Dragon Banner behind us, if anyone dares to take a step back, there will be no mercy! “

Such a complicated order naturally can't be expressed in the language of the flag, the heralds immediately rushed out, scattered the order, and soon the infantry of the 131st Regiment immediately lined up in a three-stage formation, the front row squats, the middle row half squats, the back row is upright, everyone raised the flintlock pistol in their hands, aimed at the front, there was panic, fear, fear in their eyes, but no one retreated!

Li Mingfu looked at the neat formation and nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, they are all good men, and there are no bad breeds in the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the enemy's cavalry was getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but slowly raise his left hand, the effective range of the flintlock pistol was more than a hundred paces, no telescope was used at all, the naked eye could tell, when the enemy's cavalry rushed to a hundred and fifty steps away from the camp, he waved his hand decisively: "Fire, bayonet, grenade ready." “

Once the cavalry rushed forward, a distance of a hundred steps did not take ten seconds, as soon as the guns rang out here, the cavalry in front immediately fell down a large area, but the cavalry behind still rushed up without a fatality, the soldiers of the Ming army showed a resolute expression, quickly loaded the bayonet, took out the grenade, and did not need to command, just threw out.

The lethality of the more than 4,000 grenades was quite terrifying, and although it did not kill many people, the enemy's cavalry was already in great confusion, and many of the wounded war horses could not be pulled at all, and they were running around in the cavalry group, and they had become crazy horses.

Seeing this scene, Li Mingfu immediately raised the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Push to Yan Shan, rush with me!" “

After drinking, he rushed up without hesitation, the main generals were so powerful, and the soldiers below also came up with blood, and they all pushed to Yan Shan, and shouted up, the infantry and cavalry instantly fought together, and the 100,000 army was blocked by the 5,000 Ming army!

When Luo Rucai saw this scene, he immediately anxiously shouted at the leaders of the infantry of the various rebels who retreated: "Rush up, hurry up, time is running out, if you want to escape, rush up to me, hurry up and deal with these thousands of officers and soldiers." “

The leaders of the rebels also understood this truth, and were about to organize the infantry to join the bastards, but it was too late, and the left and right sides of the rebels sounded almost simultaneously, and the sound of dense horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and the support of the Ming army had arrived!
