Copper tile compartment.

"It's like yesterday!"

Gao Dejie looked at the Qing army on the opposite side with embarrassment.

His arrival turned the tide in an instant.

The Dordor quickly withdrew to the north shore.

Of course, not only because of his cavalry army, in fact, he only had more than 10,000 cavalry, a heavy cavalry brigade with 3,000 mounted cavalry, and the other two ordinary cavalry brigades with 4,000 each, with a total strength of 11,000, after all, the cost of cavalry was too high. In fact, the latter will be converted into hussars in the future, but now Yang Qing does not have a flintlock pistol, so he has to continue to let them use bows and arrows, but he has strengthened the training of cavalry's spears to charge against the wall, in order to lose weight and gain speed, these cavalrymen only have armor but no armor, but the clothes on their bodies are multi-layered raw silk......

Anyway, this can be made into body armor.

As for the cost......

Daming has no shortage of raw silk.

But even so, 10,000 cavalry was still not enough to make Duoduo afraid, after all, Duoduo had more than 20,000 Mongol cavalry alone, not counting the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

What really made Dodor feel the danger was that there was an army with Goldjie......

"The official army and the Liukou are against the Jiannu!"

Gao Dejie looked at his left flank and said with great interest: "This battle is really unique. ”

On his left flank, between the formation of 10,000 cavalry and the Yellow River, were numerous Spanish phalanxes, dense small squares of spears, arranged in huge formations on the open plain, and in front of these infantry spear formations, one cannon after another lined up.

The 50,000 Xuzhou troops with one merit.

During the few months of Li Zicheng's journey north, Gao Yigong also completed the Spanish phalanx, he officially handed over Xuzhou to Yang Qing, and then protected the grain ships, and formed a westward army with Gao Dejie's cavalry army, and joined the battlefield along the Yellow River upstream.

Sixty thousand.

So far, the total strength of the Mingshun coalition army is the same as that of the Qing army.

Their arrival forced Duoduo to abandon the attack on the south bank, and then personally lead the 80,000 Qing army to meet the battle.

The three-way decisive battle is a copper tile box.

"Commander, Gao Yigong said let's not move yet!"

An officer ran to say.

"Then listen to him."

Gao Dejie said with satisfaction.

At the same time, the cannons of both sides opened fire, all of which were lined up in front of the formation, spraying flames from less than a mile away, and the shells kept falling on the Spanish phalanx of the Shun army and the shield car array of the Qing army, and then kept harvesting the lives of the soldiers on both sides.

Such shelling is purely a contest of endurance on both sides.

Because whoever takes the initiative to attack is to give up the cover of continuing the shelling, even the Hongyi cannon in this era cannot go beyond the shooting, after all, it is only a little limited range. If there is a high ground such as a mound near the battlefield, it is better to set up heavy artillery on the high ground, but light artillery is still in front of or next to the infantry even in the Napoleonic era, and the artillery can run away when the enemy attacks.

And the copper tile chamber is a horse flat river, except for the Yellow River embankment, there is no high place.

But......

It's a good achievement!

The last batch of mortars and flowering shells that Li Zicheng bought at a high price from Yang Qing, a black-hearted arms dealer, did not have time to transport them north in his hands, and at this moment twenty mortars were quickly erected on the river embankment, and then joined the bombardment of the Qing army.

As the flowering bombs exploded in the Qing army's formation, Duoduo finally couldn't help it.

He doesn't care about frontal shelling.

Because he was all dead soldiers in front of the formation.

But all the flowers that were fired were killed by the elite of the Eight Banners.

The Mongol cavalry was the first to strike.

They attacked the rear of the Shun army.

Gao Dejie looked at the Chinese army flag in the distance, and the signal soldiers sent there waved the signal flag.

"Keep on standby!"

He said rather speechlessly.

His 11,000 cavalry lined up and watched the Mongol cavalry bypass him and rush straight to the rear of the Shun formation, but the 20,000 Mongol cavalry still left 5,000 on guard, after all, they were also afraid of Gao Dejie's sudden attack, and the remaining 15,000 Mongol cavalry rushed straight to the Shun army.

However, the mortar on the embankment did not turn around, and continued to bombard the Qing infantry.

The shield chariot heavy infantry in the formation suffered more and more casualties from the direct fire of the frontal troops and the flowering shells falling overhead, and soon they finally began to move forward as well with the banner of the rear command, and even the light artillery in front of the formation moved forward. More than 40,000 hoplites, with dead soldiers in front and shield chariot heavy infantry behind, pushed forward like a horizontal wall, and the footsteps of 40,000 people trampled the ground and the earth trembled, and the dust they stirred up rose in the crowd.

The Shun army still did not move.

The artillery in front of the formation continued to bombard, and the infantry in formation silently watched the enemy amid continuous casualties.

And the Mongol cavalry behind them has already begun to attack, these nomads are still the same old, riding and shooting to harass, and when the opponent can't help but be in chaos, they will rush into the chaos. But it was clear that this was not easy, these Shun troops were all battle-hardened, facing the gallop of the Mongol cavalry, and in the phalanx of the rearguard, the spearmen and bird-bearers shot methodically, constantly shooting the Mongol cavalry who had to slow down because of too much thistle.

On the contrary, the arrows fired by the latter's cavalry bows could hardly penetrate the heavy armor of the Shun army.

The two sides are entangled like this.

At this time, the Qing army on the front stopped.

Similarly, their artillery also stopped, and then all the cannons were at a distance of less than two hundred meters, and at the same time they sprayed flames at the Shun army, and the dense shotgun shells hit the Shun infantry, and the Shun infantry fell one after another, but the shells that the Shun army returned fire also made the Qing artillery immediately die.

Suddenly, the dead soldiers howled in unison, and everyone began to rush towards the Shun army.

The artillery of the Shun army immediately retreated.

They dragged their cannons, took advantage of the opportunity of the dead soldiers to remove the rejection of the horses, quickly retreated to the gap between the phalanxes, and then re-erected the cannons to continue the bombardment, while the bird-gunners and spear-bearers in the phalanx opened fire at the same time, constantly shooting the dead soldiers who removed the rejection horses. The latter completed his mission despite the dead corpses, and then all the dead soldiers fled wildly, and at the same time the shield charioters behind them began to run forward. The shield carts ran over the corpses and closed the distance with great speed, but before they could crash into the spear forests, the shield carts quickly stopped, and one by one the archers emerged from behind the shield wall and began to shoot at the Shun army with their infantry bows.

In the middle of the latter, the spear-carrying bird guns continued to shoot flames outward.

At the same time, the entire phalanx moved forward.

The Northwest men in the front row are all cotton and iron composite armor plus Za armor or scale armor, and even have iron masks on their faces, and the armor on their bodies adds up to sixty or seventy pounds, which is not shoddy, this is all smelted and cold-forged in the Zunhua Iron Yard. Relying on the flesh shields of these heavy infantry troops, one phalanx after another held the heavy arrows of the Qing army, narrowing the distance between the two sides to the attack range of the spears, and using dense spears to stab the Qing troops exposed on the shield wall. At the same time, the bird guns and the guns almost shot at the shield wall, piercing the three-in-one shield wall of cowhide, iron and wooden planks, and bombarding the Qing soldiers behind, while those strange soldiers drilled out from under the dense forest of spears, and directly entered through the gap of the shield cart to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing saber players inside.

But the latter is more than one.

The Qing army's shield chariot heavy infantry are multi-layered shield chariots attacking repeatedly, and some other Qing troops are still shooting arrows under the cover of the shield chariots behind, but with the blocking of the shield chariots in front, their arrows are not efficient, but not as effective as those of the Shun army.

In fact, the advantages of both sides cancel each other out.

The shield car of the Qing army blocked the spear forest of the Shun army, but the heavy armored infantry of the Shun army resisted the heavy arrows, even if the heavy arrows of the Qing army could break the armor, it was also the Ming army's shoddy goods that even juniper could be shot through the helmet, and the cold forging heavy armor of the Shun army and the multi-layer protection of cotton armor were enough to resist. Similarly, the proportion of firearms of the Shun army far exceeded that of the Qing army, even if the shield vehicles of the Qing army were equipped with bird guns and even light artillery, but they were still too far behind almost half of the firearms of the Shun army. When their advantage in heavy arrows and five-step shooting was neutralized, the advantage of the Shun army's firearms was more powerful, but the Qing army's shield chariot was horizontal in the middle to offset the dense stabbing of the Shun army's best spears.

In the end, hand-to-hand combat between the two sides became a unanimous choice, and the Qing saber player and the Shun army fought to the death between the shield chariot and the spear forest.

Even some of the spearmen of the Shun army joined.

The frontal infantry fell into a bloody battle like this, and all the Shun and Qing troops on the chaotic battlefield were fighting to the death, and they used bows and arrows to spit out each other, and even raised their guns to shoot at the Fran machine, even if the weak Fran machine solid bullet could penetrate several times. In the midst of the artillery fire, the melee infantry slashed fiercely, all kinds of weapons were brandished with splashes of blood, the dead and even the seriously wounded fell, and then countless feet were trampled to pieces, and then more people fell. Severed limbs fell, blood flowed, overturned shield carts, broken spears piled up among the corpses, and the bloody battle of nearly 100,000 people turned the banks of the ancient Yellow River into a slaughterhouse, with shouts and screams accompanied by guns and explosions resounding in the sky.

The rear of the Shun army was also fighting fiercely.

Just when the frontal Qing infantry attacked, the Mongol cavalry also gave up the attack and began to attack head-on.

But they're much worse.

Although the Spanish phalanx could not say anything about the nomadic light cavalry, at least it did not lose to the latter, and after adding more than half of the proportion of firearms, the nomadic cavalry was humiliating themselves. In the face of the onslaught of Mongol cavalry, the Shun soldiers only had to rely on the flesh shields of the heavy infantry to block them with a forest of spears, and then they could continue to shoot the Mongol cavalry with bird guns and spears, and the latter once again perfectly demonstrated how their era had ended.

"They don't want to play the whole game themselves, do they?"

Gao Dejie looked at the Chinese army flag where Gao Yigong was puzzled.

The latter still did not give him the order to attack.

He turned back to look at the other side in confusion, and the elite cavalry of the Eight Banners Manchuria formed opposite him was also looking at them blankly, and it was obvious that the enemy was also confused.

"Perhaps? It seems that these old bandits are angry, the good situation is over all of a sudden, and they have to run to Guanzhong to eat sand, they probably want to demonstrate to us to let us know that they are very capable of fighting, and they can't beat us if they lose! ”

His lieutenant said with a smile.

"Well, then fulfill them!"

Gao Dejie said.

The two guys looked at each other smirkedly.

At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded on the battlefield of the frontal bloody battle......
