Boom, the iron hooves stepped on the ground outside the gate, and the snow splashed everywhere.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, the neighing of war horses was endless, and a large group of vigorous knights wearing iron helmets, cloaks and fine armor, holding handguns, and carrying winged tiger guns rushed out of the east gate of Tianyue Village. They couldn't help but say that they were confronted with a burst of handcuffs, knocking several people who were too close to each other with yellow flag vests and turning people on their backs.

Then a large group of fierce horsemen armed with spears, white wax rods, and thick-backed goose feathers rushed out, and they were condescending, and their momentum was like a mountain crack, frightening those yellow flag waistcoats that were jumping around Tianyue Village and ran away. They watched for a while, seeing as many cavalry rushed out, and finally they were still in groups of three or five, rushing north back to their large formation.

The cavalry of the Xin'an Army was exhausted, and the cavalry was followed by the square shield hand or large shield hand that rushed out densely, each holding a nine-pound rattan card, or a heavier large shield. In their right hand was a heavy, thick goose-winged knife.

Compared with the early goose wing knife, the thickness of the wild goose wing knife in the late Ming Dynasty has been reduced, the knife head has become sharp, and the knife posture and blood groove are somewhat similar to the Yan Ling knife, but it is still heavy, weighing more than two catties, and it is not available for those who are not strong in wrist strength.

The musketeers and spearmen rushed out after the large shield soldiers, and their footsteps were booming, and they quickly lined up according to the beat of the drum, followed by the Chinese troops.

In addition to the nine generals who stayed behind, the soldiers and horses of Yanghe were exhausted, the first to fifth general of the first-class army, the eighth, eleventh, and twelfth general of the second-class army, as well as the Chinese army's escort team, artillery team, grenadier team, cavalry sentry team, sharp soldier team, medical team, etc., about 3,000 men and horses, set up a formation outside Tianyue Village.

The field combat plan was rehearsed many times in advance, and everyone formed a formation without thinking, according to the case, and formed a large formation in the shape of a "product", arranged in the front, left wing, right wing, and middle army.

On the front, Yang He arranged for Minister Yang's first general, Han Daxia's second general, and Yang Qian's fifth general manager to meet the enemy, with a total of 230 people each, and a total of 690 people for the third minister.

They were all first-class soldiers, and each of them had a soldier armour, and each of them had forty square shield soldiers, and three were one hundred and twenty men. And there were two hundred and forty men in two columns, and each column was a hundred and twenty men.

In the same way, there were two hundred and forty spearmen, and they were arranged in two columns, one hundred and twenty spearmen in each column.

Each general of the Xin'an Army has 20 deputy guards for the captain of each team, and 5 guards for the headquarters. When the enemy enters about 20 steps, 10,000 enemies will throw, and the winged tiger will fight.

The three are seventy-eight people, thirty-nine people cast 10,000 enemies, and thirty-nine people fought with winged tigers.

On the left flank, Yang He arranged for Yang Tianfu's eight generals, Yang Han's eleventh generals, and Yang Zuwen's twelve generals to meet the enemy, with a total of 230 people each, and a total of 690 people for the third group.

They were all second-class soldiers, and the officers and veterans had iron helmets and iron armor, but no iron masks.

The recruits are equipped with gray cotton armor, long body armor, with a total weight of more than 20 catties and a thickness of three layers, which can prevent projectiles from 50 steps away. They also wore gray winter felt, all with crimson cloaks, and used their original battle formations, with the musketeers hiding behind large shields and the spearmen carrying leather shields.

On the right wing, Yang He arranged Han Guan'er's three generals and Luo Xianjue's four generals, all of whom were also first-class soldiers, with a total strength of 460 people. In addition to the shield bearers, fire hammer bearers, and spearmen arranged in echelons, there were also 26 people who threw 10,000 enemies and 26 people who fought winged tigers.

The Chinese army has a strength of about 900 people, including 100 people from Yang He's escort team, 100 people from Cui Lu's artillery team, 100 people from Chang Rusong's grenadier team, 300 people from Zhang Chujingrui's team, more than 300 people from Jiu Ye and other cavalry sentry teams, and some of Li Jiale's medical team.

In addition to the sword, shield, wing, tiger, and gunner, the standard-bearer, the golden drummer, the trumpeter, the fluteer, the flute, and the gong player, there are also about fifty assaulters, as the existence of the trapped camp and the mountain-shaking army.

They were equipped with a very impressive number of armors, thick neck guards, curvacated iron masks, and very thick armor that was knee-length.

There are front and rear heart guards, crotch armor, shin armor, iron arms and hands, etc., the weight of the whole body armor is more than 70 catties, and the step armor and iron floating tu in the Song Dynasty refer to this kind of thing.

Dressed in strong armor and armed with heavy weapons such as axes, knives, war hammers, and maces, they will be in battle at a critical time to destroy the slaves and thieves.

There were 20 pieces of Cui Lu's artillery, 5 Falcon No. 2 guns, and 15 Falcon No. 3 guns.

They were concentrated in front of the convoy and, depending on the enemy's movements, arranged in front of the line or on the flanks.

The grenadiers were concentrated on the right side of the convoy, and they wore winter felt and gray cotton armor, which was lighter but had knee pads. Each of them carried a bag of 10,000 enemies made of thick tarpaulin, a total of eight 10,000 enemies on the left and right, the fire rope was wrapped in his hand, and the fire fold was inserted in his waist.

They all carry shields, the shields are inlaid with iron, with a large hemispherical iron cover in the middle, and they carry goose-winged knives on their backs, and they fight with 10,000 enemies at a long distance, and slash with broadswords at close range.

They are all veterans of bomb throwing, and although the Xin'an Army has practiced throwing bombs, they can generally only throw 20 steps, and the accuracy rate is not high. In the grenadier team, an accurate throw of 20 steps is a passing grade, 30 steps is excellent, and the excellent bombardier in the team grabs a handful.

They also have 30 thunder fighters, in groups of three, one carrying a canister, two carrying bombs, the thunder bag behind them, and the oil bag inside contains three rocket warheads, each weighing seven catties.

The sharp soldiers are concentrated on the left side of the escort team, the armor is similar to the cavalry sentry team, and now among the twelve people in each squad, the captain and the two captains also hold shields, carry goose wing knives, carry 10,000 enemy bags, and carry eight 10,000 enemies, increasing the firepower and attack power of each squad.

Subsequently, each squad still has two boring and palladium players, four spearmen, two winged tiger guns, and one big stick player.

After they protect the wings of each formation, they can also attack at critical moments, charge into battle as stragglers, etc.

The medical team members followed the Chinese army, and they were divided into two parts, one was the stretcher ambulance, and the wounded were rescued by bullets and bullets, so they also wore non-commissioned armor, but there was no iron mask.

They carried the wounded soldiers out of the dangerous place, preliminarily wrapped their wounds to stop the bleeding, and then carried them to the big camp Tianyue Village. There were healers and medics, who specialized in rescuing the wounded, and when they were in a safe place, they did not wear armor, but only white armor with the doctor's mark.

Finally, there is the cavalry sentry team of Jiuye, Zeng Youyu and others, some of them have not returned, and some of them have been killed or wounded, and there are about 300 people in Tianyue Village at this time. If he had met him, he would take Tang Hetu and others to various places in Shandong to investigate, but he never returned.

They were concentrated in the lower right of the position of the central army, with one-color iron helmets, silver-gray sentry armor, and black cloaks, fierce and sharp.

In the drumbeat, the general teams quickly lined up, forming a large formation in the shape of "Pin", the front protruded, the two wings were below, the front formation and the left and right sides were 30 steps away, and after another 50 steps, there were more than 900 people in the large formation of the Chinese army.

Suddenly, there was a sound of cymbals, the formation stopped, and the corps was silent, except for the bright silver light and dazzling red cloaks in the field.

Yang He looked at his military formation, swelled with pride, worked hard, and finally achieved results, such a speed of formation, he did not dare to say that the Ming Dynasty was the first, but among the strong armies, it was also second to none.

He was on his horse, wearing a helmet made of crucible steel, and beside him was his handsome banner, tasseled and pheasanttail, one foot and five feet high. Each corps also has flags, tasseled heads, one foot high, and the sound of hunting in the cold wind.

Looking at the enemy in front of him, Yang He took a deep breath and finally spit out two words: "Playing music!" ”

Zhang Chugong, who was beside him, immediately shouted: "Play music!" ”

The Chinese military drum player played the silk bamboo, the flute player played the sound, the bamboo player followed, the pre-Qin Yayin chanted, and the impassioned music played.

"Heh Nanzhong, Bovar Sijon. He Nanzhong, Xuanqi Yuyi. ”

The music began to be chanted, and suddenly the grand chorus swept across the field, spreading like a hurricane.

The three thousand Xin'an troops sang in unison, and their voices were fierce and fierce.

"I'll get out of my car, and I'll be in the pasture. Since the Son of Heaven, it is said that I have come. Summoning his servant is called a load. The king's affairs are difficult, and the maintenance is thorny. ”

"I'll get out of my car and be on the other side. Set this and build the other. Bi Yinsi, Hu Buyi? The worries are quiet, and the servant is in a bad condition. ”

"The king ordered Nanzhong to go to the city in Fang. Get out of the car Peng Peng, and get out of the Yangyang. The Son of Heaven ordered me to be the other side of the city. He Nanzhong, Xuan Yu Xiang. ”

This is the military song of the pre-Qin "out of the car", when the Western Zhou Dynasty had the Xuan Li in the north, and the Kunyi in the west, for the stability of the dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty took Nanzhong as the commander to conquer and achieved brilliant results.

This is the Chinese ancestors in the face of the ancient barbarians, issued an unyielding war song, they are impassioned, comrades die together, they sing surgingly, the king comes.

This song sounded again, the eyes of all the soldiers were firm, they inherited the legacy of their ancestors, they are the teachers of justice, in the face of evil enemies, the king will win!

Yang He's hand pointed forward, the banner was slightly oblique forward, and the Chinese officer Zhang Zhugong shouted: "Forward!" ”

The silk and bamboo drum music changed again, with the momentum of sweeping everything, the three wings of the Xin'an Army advanced, and the sound of neat footsteps shook the earth.

"The four seas are surrounded by the wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years. Rong Yi is not even better, today is a success, looking back at Qin Sai as low as a horse, and gradually see the Yellow River flowing straight north. Tianwei rolls up the jade door stopper, and the Hu people are full of Han songs. ”

The passionate silk and bamboo drum music resounded to curb the clouds, and in the big array of music, the three thousand soldiers of the Xin'an Army marched firmly, their footsteps were lifted heavily, and they stepped down heavily, and the residual snow on the road splashed.

They raised their feet neatly and stepped on the ground neatly, forming a rhythmic roar.

Their helmets jumped, and the cold light of their weapons and armor shone in the sun.

They came in array, like a wall, like waves in the sea, wave after wave.

In such a team, there are comrades-in-arms like themselves in front and behind, they are close together, and they can all be relied on.

At this moment, everyone is no longer afraid!

……

"Interesting."

Chen Tai and the others were about to set up a battle to the south, but unexpectedly, the defenders of Tianyue Village suddenly went out of the city to meet them, which was much to their surprise.

In particular, everyone just said that the defenders in the city did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and they immediately came out, which greatly damaged everyone's face and made them all hideous.

Chen Tai looked over there and saw that the defenders in the village quickly lined up in a large formation, and then came with singing and drumming. In fact, after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, although he deliberately Manchu in the territory, the middle and high-level still spoke Chinese, after all, their predecessor was the Jianzhou Wei of the Ming Dynasty, and there were also a large number of Han officials and generals in the governance.

Chen Tai knows Chinese better, after all, it is the existence of the Ministry of Officials and Rites of the Qing Dynasty later, he can understand the song "Out of the Car", and he understands the meaning of the words better.

As a barbarian, the most unheard is the words Yi, Hu, barbarian, etc., so later they renamed "Kill Hukou" to "Kill Hukou", and the meaning of Wang Shi's battle against barbarians in this song deeply pierced his heart.

His face was pale, and he smiled cruelly: "Okay, good, what a generous and sad President Yang Lian!" Guo is a heroic man of the Ming Kingdom, impassioned, hot-blooded and upright. There are fewer and fewer such people in the Ming Kingdom, and Ben Jiala likes them the most, and likes to cut off the heads of these heroes and collect them as my wine pot war products! ”

He said coldly: "The order is that no prisoners will be left after the war, and all captured soldiers will be trampled to death by horses." Especially that Nanban Yang Lian Zong, Ben Jiala wants to divide his five horses into corpses! ”

Next to him, E Shuo, Ming Andali and others also gritted their teeth and watched, the defenders in the village came out to fight, which was a provocation to them. In particular, gongs and drums are beaten, and silk and bamboo drums are played, which is not to take the warriors of the Qing Dynasty into account.

This group of Ming troops must be eliminated to set an example!

They climbed to a high place to look out, and saw that the military formation on the opposite side was still advancing like a wall, with silver-white armor and red cloaks, which were very dazzling.

Their military formation was neat, full of strength, in the silk and bamboo drum music, they advanced more than 200 steps, and finally stopped in a "kill, kill, kill" sound, and spread out according to the formation, lined up in the front formation, left flank, right flank, Chinese army style, from the lake to spread through the official road, the length of the array is about more than a mile.

The last cymbal was slammed, and the entire army was silent, except for their banners hunting and flying in the cold wind.

Chen Tai and the others gritted their teeth, and the Ming army was ready to block their southward road.

In this situation, it is impossible to take a detour, unless they go north and no longer attack south, but how is it possible?

They looked at their soldiers and horses, because the Ming army had suddenly left the city, and the banners and cavalry had stopped, staying under the mountain range not far from this official road, about 200 steps away from the opposite military formation.

"Ming Anda Lijiala, how do you think the opposing military formation should be fought?" Chen Tai looked at it for a while, and asked Ming Andali beside him.

Ming Andali is a typical Mongol, with a big pie face, small eyes, and a stout body, he is also a brave warrior, and has repeatedly fought with Yibai, Ashan, Yubai and others, and has accumulated merit to become Jialazhangjing.

He said disapprerovantly: "There is a stacked formation on the opposite side of Nanban, a very ordinary formation. I have experience with this kind of array early in the morning. It is nothing more than an anvil in an infantry formation, and a cavalry like a hammer. We shoot arrows from afar, harass them on horseback, and when their formation is loosened, the foot soldiers can rush over. ”

Chen Tai was noncommittal, and asked E Shuo again: "What about E Shuo Jiala?" ”

E Shuo was burly, but thick and thin, he carefully looked at the military formation opposite, and said in a deep voice: "They also have fine cavalry, see that there are more than 300 people in the queue, if my cavalry rushes to harass, I am afraid that they will be driven away." Of course, it's okay to send some cavalry to harass you, but to break the formation, the key is to look at the infantry battle. ”

Chen Tai nodded: "Brother Eshuo continued." ”

E Shuo said: "But it is also difficult to fight on foot, I heard the Korkun warriors, Suo Hun Zhangjing said, their firearms are quite sophisticated, not the goods of two or three dollars in the Ming army, and they use self-generated firearms similar to thunderbolts, and they shoot very quickly." Their artillery was still aimed at the gun, and they fired very close before firing the artillery, which was very disciplined and quite difficult. ”

He thought for a while and said: "Fortunately, we have a shield cart in the army, which can be layered in the front and back, with heavy shields in the front, less sergeants, and more armored archers in the rear. They are clothed in fine armor, but twenty steps, my heavy arrows can also break the armor. ”

Chen Tai nodded, and E Shuo continued: "They have few people on the right flank, we can use some elite cavalry to entangle their cavalry, concentrate all the vests Bayala, and when the time comes, we will break through from there." ”

E Shuo talked eloquently, after all, he was a man of a hundred battles, he just looked at Yang He's military formation for a while, and he had his own coping tactics.

Chen Tai approved, but he said, "No, we attack from their left flank." ”

He squinted at Yang He's military formation: "There are many people over there, but there are few people in armor, obviously most of them are Xinding." They have large shields, and they can use iron hooks, and they can hook their shields away on horseback, and the rest rush up, and their left flank can be broken. ”
