The officers and soldiers of the Great Western Army behind saw that the firearms of the loyal army were sharp, and the crossbow arrows were like rain, so they actually erected two wet quilts in front of the formation, although the bird guns could penetrate the two layers of wet quilts, but they finally blocked the sight of the bird guns, and finally weakened the momentum of the bird guns and crossbow arrows, and then rushed over under the cover of the wet quilts.

Due to the poisoning of Yuan Chonghuan, the officials and soldiers in the last years of the Ming Dynasty relied heavily on firearms, and finally developed the tactics of artillery to defend the city, rather than focusing on hand-to-hand combat training.

Yang Xuan, who comes from modern times, certainly knows the importance of fighting bayonets, just like the extensive application of semi-automatic weapons during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the armies of various countries still fight bayonets from time to time, just like after the end of the Cold War, many armies are still training in combat.

Although the battalions of the Loyal and Righteous Army were equipped with a large number of firearms, they did not neglect the hand-to-hand combat training, and when they saw a wet quilt one zhang high erected thirty steps in front of them, the deputy commander of the 4th Battalion, Yao Zhijiao, waved his hand and rushed out of the four or five killers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers of the Onishi Army under the wet quilt tried their best to protect it, but the spearmen and the boring palladium hand followed closely behind, attacking the lower end of the quilt with spears and boring palladium, so that three or four wet quilts were overturned to the ground, and the people below panicked and ran away.

However, the Great Western Army was numerous, except for a few elite soldiers, most of them were rabble, and although the combat power of these elite soldiers on the battlefield was close to the level of the official army, those rabble often collapsed at the touch of a button, and they were simply unable to fight to the death.

Among the 4,000 soldiers and horses commanded by the **** Li Commander this time, 1,500 of them were their own soldiers, and 500 were the personal commanders of the generals such as Wang Jiye, who could be called elite soldiers, and the others were all men and horses from all walks of life who had just been reorganized.

Due to the large number of people, even the personal soldiers and horses of generals such as **** Li and Wang Jiye live very poorly, not to mention the ordinary soldiers and horses, many people are even weaker and cannot fight with high intensity for a long time.

In addition to poor health, the most intuitive response is equipment, not only the weapons are uneven, there is no unified standard configuration, that is, there is a shortage of armor, many pro-soldiers wear helmets, wear chain mail, but the vast majority of them are wrapped in towels on their heads, wearing quilts to defend against bird guns, crossbows and swords.

The main general's own soldiers are still like this, and the other cannon fodder troops can be imagined.

This is still the most basic, if the other in terms of training, battle formation, coordination of various departments, etc., it is even more far from the same, in the early days of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, the official army was often able to drive ten times the rogue back and forth on the Central Plains with one enemy ten. (Even at the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty, many people in Li Dingguo's department were so equipped, and their combat power was far inferior to the Qing Dynasty puppet army, so they could only rely on Li Dingguo's excellent command ability and rely on crowd tactics to win).

Although after so many years of continuous warfare, the combat power of the Great Western Army has improved a lot, but the combat power of the Liukou is still far lower than that of ordinary officers and soldiers, not to mention the army trained by Yang Xuan in combination with some modern military common sense in the face of the loyal and righteous army. Although the Onishi Army was superior in numbers on the battlefield, it felt that there were lead bullets and arrows flying everywhere, and there were wolf swords, boring palladium, spears and broadswords dancing everywhere, and they were killed by the loyal and righteous army if they were not careful.

Although such a large western army was outnumbered, it did not take any advantage, but it was counterattacked by the loyal and righteous army of more than 600 people, and the formation was rushed to pieces, so it was not embarrassed.

Wang Jiye was quite annoyed, but the Loyal and Righteous Army was different from other Ming armies, and the various brigades, squadrons, and squads were skillfully coordinated, not to mention rushing to the opponent's bird, even rushing to the opponent's wolf hand It was quite difficult to fight in close quarters.

Let's start with the teams of each killer, at thirty paces away, the crossbowmen attack, the seven or eight wolf hands attack from a distance, the five or six steps of the palladium hand and the spearman attack, and at close range, the Wu Chang and the rattan player with steel knives in hand.

The Mandarin Duck Formation fully takes into account the requirements of long, medium and close range kills, and also fully protects the wolf players, boring palladium players, and spearmen through the rattan players.

Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese hero of the Ming Dynasty, also used the Mandarin Duck Array to achieve the proud record of killing more than 1,000 Japanese at the cost of killing three people. Although I don't know how to define zero casualties in ancient times, even in the previous life of the 21st century, the U.S. military, armed to the teeth, faced the armies of Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries, the casualty ratio could not be so large.

This is just the mandarin duck formation composed of the various killer squadrons, and the various bird squadrons behind are even more terrifying, everyone can not only release the guns from a distance, but also quickly put on the guns and fight in close combat after the enemy army is killed.

Yang Xuan came from a previous life, of course, he was not as good at assassination as people in this era, but even so, Yang Xuan also had some ways to train everyone, that is, to emphasize team spirit.

When the Great Western Army rushed to the side, two strong and strong people often led two people to form a battle group and play the role of a surprise soldier, while the squad leader led the remaining five people to form a front and fight with the other party.

Although the soldiers of such a large Western army are brave, although some soldiers fight hard, but the equipment is too simple, once they cut it and cut it on the opponent's armor, although it splashes bursts of starlight, but the opponent is wearing leather armor and has a very good defense, and it is difficult to cause physical injury.

The other party often wields a weapon in front to attract his attention, while he is not paying attention, a soldier next to him rushes over from the flank, wielding a big knife to fight back and forth, because of the limitation of the body's defense, he is often injured when he is cut by the weapon.

The brave men of the Great Western Army were still so forced to retreat again and again, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, everyone panicked but often fought separately.

The Loyal Army is different, whether it is the middle squad of each killer or the various musket squads, they cooperate together, everyone supports each other and cooperates with each other.

In ancient times, cold weapon warfare was very particular about morale, if the morale of a unit was raised, the morale was often like a rainbow, and no one could stop the Buddha when he saw the Buddha kill the Buddha, mainly because everyone was driven by those brave men who dared to fight.

The Great Western Army fought mainly in this mode, but as the war progressed, the warriors of the Great Western Army who dared to fight continued to be injured, which seriously hit the morale of the Great Western Army.

And seeing the brave people around him constantly being slashed and killed, the soldiers of the surrounding Daxi Army were terrified one by one, and when they saw the loyal and righteous army rushing towards them, they didn't dare to fight at all.

Wang Jiye shouted loudly, forcing everyone not to retreat, and at the same time brandished a big sword to join the battle group, but the soldiers of the loyal army still fought back and forth in front of the battle as if they had entered a no-man's land.

Wang Jiye was covered with sweat, turned around and found the Governor of the Left Army, who was also overseeing the formation behind the iron-clad face, and sighed: "Governor Zuo, today's battle is too mysterious. This loyal and righteous army formation looks like a mandarin duck formation, but it is not a mandarin duck formation.

Zuo Dudu, the loyal and righteous army is not only strong with firearms and crossbows, but also not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, how can such a strong enemy be good? ”

Li has followed Zhang Xianzhong to the world for decades, and he is also a well-informed person, and now when he heard Wang Jiye mention the Mandarin Duck Array, he frowned, quite disapproving, and laughed: "I think otherwise, the Loyal and Righteous Army pays too much attention to the formation, but its soldiers are not very sophisticated in marksmanship, stick skills, and knife skills, compared to the world-famous Qi Family Army, compared to the Mandarin Duck Formation."

Although the loyal and righteous army is quite elite, they are all vain, and they are still inferior to the old Wansui Guards.

Besides, the other side is only more than 700 people, and our side is outnumbered, we can use the numerical advantage to win the battle. ”

Immediately, he adjusted his tactics and ordered Wang Jiye to command all units to retreat gradually, widen the distance between the ranks of the killers of the Loyal and Righteous Army and the firearms squadrons, and then assault the firearms squadrons of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

In addition, **** Li sent two battalions of soldiers and horses to the left and right flanks, preparing to make a detour to the back of the loyal and righteous army to kill.
