Chapter 591: Collision

Li Gufeng had already raised his hand, ready to give the order to advance, but although he could clearly hear the sound of killing, the Huazhou main formation on the opposite side was already unmoved, and he couldn't see the impact of the attack on the flank, and finally quieted down again, not only the Huazhou army was standing at this time.

Even the Liaozhen soldiers are quiet here, everyone knows the fate of the soldiers on the flank, Li Gufeng, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, turned his head to the staff who had been recording on the side, and said in a calm voice:

"Record everything you see and hear in detail today, and if the army is decisive today, I will send someone to escort you to Jingshi."

Hearing his words, not only the staff, but even the generals and soldiers around him looked at Li Gufeng in surprise, and the general soldier of Liaozhen did not feel that he had said anything unlucky, but continued:

"This Huazhou soldier, elite and strong, I have only seen this in my life, and the Ming Dynasty is dangerous."

If this is said at such a time, whether it is a civil official who leads the army or a eunuch who supervises the army, he can be punished with this crime, but it is difficult to say whether there is an aftermath or not.

The soldiers in the front of the Ming army were already ready to charge, but they didn't expect to wait for the order to charge, but the other party began to move forward slowly.

A cavalryman held high the banner and walked out of the Huazhou military formation, slowly instigated the horse to walk towards the Ming army, and the drums began to sound for the first time behind, the drums began to be a little noisy, and slowly became neat, and a few shouts could be heard from afar, presumably the Huazhou army was giving orders.

With the rumbling drums, under the guidance of the banner cavalry in front, a part of the large array in Huazhou slowly divided and walked towards the Ming army.

Li Gufeng, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, was already walking towards the front of the battle on horseback, and the deputy generals and generals who followed him were also returning to their posts to command, and only Li Gufeng's personal guards and the direct subordinates of the pro-soldier family were around, seeing the beginning of the attack of the Huazhou army, the general soldier of Liaozhen said in a low voice:

"The opponent's soldiers are strong and the weapons are strong, but the generals may not know the soldiers, at this time, it is clear that they are victorious, why don't they use artillery attacks, why don't they use cavalry, but send these seven or eight thousand foot soldiers forward, do you want to wear down the morale of the army again?"

After talking to himself, one order after another was passed down, and the Ming army brigade also began to move, slowly moving forward, the commander here was puzzled, but Jiang Feng over there sat firmly like a mountain, holding a horsewhip in his hand and pointing:

"My five infantry regiments, 8,000 people, are a moving fortress, rolling over step by step, invincible."

"King, if you use artillery, or direct cavalry impact, wouldn't it be more rapid, such a hard attack of foot soldiers, although my Huazhou firearms are excellent, but there will be casualties after all."

The person who can put forward such an opinion can only Liu Twelve speak like this in Huazhou, Jiang Feng didn't care, but explained with a smile:

"Mr. I don't know, marching and fighting, military morale, equipment, time and place, are the key to victory or defeat, this king seems, all kinds of factors, my Huazhou soldiers and horses are not lacking, but this strong soldier can only be produced in blood and fire, Huazhou Erlang is the top in all aspects, that is, less experience on the battlefield and less training, such soldiers, I can't see the real chapter, not in this first battle experience, and when?"

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Liu Shisan sighed in his heart, although he felt sorry for the lives of those young sons, he also knew that such a move was a must for the army, and there was nothing to be done.

The armies of the two sides are approaching, and the horse team of Liaozhen is rushing out in one go, and at the forefront is the cavalry led by Li Liang to the death, and the Huazhou soldiers are four hundred and one teams, one regiment for every four teams, but the establishment of this regiment is always habitually called a brigade, corresponding to the establishment of that team.

Because firearms are an important part of the army in Huazhou, only the firearms can form the maximum firepower density and lethality on one surface only when they are fired in a neat and uniform manner, so the requirements for the soldiers' marching steps and queues are extremely strict, of course, the queue training is to let the soldiers know how to obey orders, know that they are a member of the organization, and even physical training has great benefits.

After such training, the soldiers' movements are neat and uniform, not chaotic at all, and they step forward with the beating of drums, while the Ming army does not pay so much attention to it, speaking of which Qi Jiguang at this time is just a child, the so-called "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Practical Record of Military Training" are still early, of course, in this era, it is not known whether they can be written.

In these two books, Qi Jiguang emphasized many times that on the battlefield, it is useless to rely on personal martial arts, and there is a way to "open a big array, against the big enemy, it is different from capturing thieves in the field." In the dignified array, thousands of people lined up to move forward, the brave could not go first, the cowardly could not be behind, the guns poked, the guns poked, the knives were chopped, and the kills were returned, but they were all rushed in, and it was difficult to change hands, and they could not tolerate moving left and right; One person turns back, the public is suspicious, one person shifts an inch, and the public must also win the heart, how can they tolerate it or retreat. ”

When Qi Jiguang was training his troops, he found that the original guards and the Ming army were really unbearable, so he recruited miners and villagers to train into an army, which also illustrated a problem, the Ming army had been peaceful for several years at this time and the enemy's weakness, so that they were not used to such a military battle, and field wave warfare was already the norm.

So later, Qi Jiguang wanted to write a special book to emphasize this problem, the battlefield at this time was like this, the Ming army walked forward, and the people and horses walked neatly at first, but later, some were fast and some were slow, and the queue at the front was already crooked and unpresentable.

Looking at the Huazhou army on the opposite side, as if it was a mountain pressing over, as the distance approached, each step out seemed to be more than 8,000 Huazhou at the same time, the ground trembled slightly, although the two sides have not yet face-to-face confrontation, the momentum of the 8,000 Huazhou army has completely occupied the advantage.

Everyone has forgotten that the number of the Ming army is completely more than the Huazhou army, and the Huazhou army is only 8,000 people, but this momentum is like a mountain.

The soldiers of the Ming army looked at the opponent's armor and weapons, and then looked at the cotton armor on their bodies, and there were some rusty spears and axes, and they were even more drumming in their hearts.

Because of the firearms of the Huazhou army, the distance between the two sides has not been too close, Li Liang's decisive horse team has always been at the forefront of the team, Li Liang was also a general of Liaozhen when he was not convicted, and he naturally knew how to observe the victory and defeat situation.

At the beginning, the horses were already running away, and at this time, as long as they smoked a few whips, the horses began to run wildly, and the six or seven hundred cavalry Ming troops showed rare martial courage at this time, and almost rushed to the Huazhou army formation in front of them.

The knight holding the flag at the front of the Huazhou Army had stopped, standing at that point, and at the same time as he stopped, the military formation of the Huazhou Army began to slowly unfold, gradually divided into five infantry regiments from the original unity, and then the distance between each regiment was also slowly widened. Divided into teams of four hundred.

In this way, the front line has been gradually elongated, and there are three infantry regiments on the front, and there are two behind, and the cavalry holding the flag is standing in the center of the front and rear, this cavalry is not only a guide, but acts as a positioning point, everything in Huazhou is used exquisitely, and there is no equipment specially for the honor guard.

At this time, the officers of the Ming army all knew why the sneak attack cavalry on the right flank had no effect, under the roar of the three infantry regiments, the cavalry led by Li Liang was like ice and snow in the midsummer sun, instantly melting and evaporating without a trace, and the successive charges fell in front of the position.

The drum sounded again, and the three infantry regiments of the Huazhou Army began to press forward slowly, and the distance between the two sides was enough for the infantry to charge, and the Ming army at this time was really in a dilemma, looking at the fate of the cavalry in front, he also knew that he was going to die.

But turning back is like a forest of knives and guns, how to turn back, but there is a very strange thing happened, many soldiers hesitated, and saw the other party approaching step by step, but their own front did not move, at this time the Ming army officers were already forced to be in a hurry, and they couldn't care about anything.

Several thousand generals looked at the head of the officers who were directly led by the team with knives, and after killing dozens of people, the Ming army began to advance.

The Huazhou army in front of him has stopped, the Ming army is still hesitantly walking forward, within a hundred steps of the distance, many Ming soldiers have already begun to run, their mouths to cheer for themselves shouts, the Ming army's war drums are also roaring, the momentum is amazing.

The drumming of Huazhou at this time suddenly stopped, and the soldiers of the Huazhou army also stopped, the fire guns were raised and fired, and the front and back rotations were rotated, and it was difficult for the Ming soldiers to take a step forward, and they were all knocked to the ground by the fire guns, and after the first wave of charges, these people no longer had the courage to charge.

The soldiers on the other side were expressionless and splashed like fire, the Ming army retreated step by step, retreat turned into escape, escape turned into a rout, the drum sounded, the Huazhou army continued to move forward, and the Ming army retreated step by step.

The distance between them never narrowed to a hundred paces......
