Chapter 567: A Sure Victory

Both sides of the battle have no foundation in their hearts, the Tieling Guards who rushed into battle did not know what kind of army was on the other side, and the side of the Huazhou Northern Army was facing the cavalry charge for the first time, although the horses of the opposing horse team were relatively short Mongolian horses, the momentum of so many people and horses galloping was still quite terrifying, but the soldiers of the Huazhou Northern Army were still able to hold their ground, and they did not panic and disperse.

The battle between cavalry and infantry, the impact of cavalry is to constantly look for the weak side of the infantry position, if there are flaws and gaps, they will attack this point, as long as it is a little defeated, the entire infantry line will become chaotic, and then the overall impact will make the opponent scatter.

However, the battle formation of the Huazhou army is different from other places, although he seems to be the kind of large army with a large number of people, but the main component of these large troops is a phalanx of 400 people, each phalanx can fight alone, spears can be defended and hand-to-hand combat, bows and arrows and firearms can be long-range attacks, forming such a large horizontal formation, although the five teams have a deputy general to coordinate, but these deputy generals only convey and maintain the orders of the main general, and do not interfere with the specific actions of each team when entering the battle.

That is, the horse team was overwhelmed, and there were many teams waiting there, each team and the large army were both a whole and scattered individuals.

Although the Mongolian horse is not good at breaking out the impact, but if the accumulated horsepower is sufficient, the effect of the impact is still very good, but this night of rushing and robbing, not only people have no time to rest, horses are even more so, many horses riding his master in order to pull more things, but also put a cart on the horse, the cart is up to four or five, more than a dozen people, the horse riding to do the horse itself is a matter of exhausting effort to damage the horse, to here, there is no need to feed the horse some forage hard food, went directly to loot the belongings and search for the woman, and there was really not much strength left for the horses.

When the impact came, the speed was obviously much slower, looking at the opponent's spears lying flat, layer by layer, as if it was a jungle of steel, the soldiers on these horses thought that I should not be the first to hit it, otherwise it must be a cold heart.

The people in the first few rows all had the same idea, slowing down their horses there, and the early morning battle for property had magnified everyone's selfishness countless times, and even if they went to the battlefield, these people couldn't remember the training of the past.

The horses burst out with the last bit of strength to sprint, and they couldn't withstand the sudden knight's pull, and some horses directly screamed and fell to the ground, and the people above were even more unlucky and were thrown out directly.

Seeing such a scene, the confidence of the recruits of the Huazhou Northern Army was a little more, the first to fire were the two musket teams in the center, after the horses entered a hundred steps, the soldiers who had already been prepared under the captain's shout, they fired their firearms, and the horse team that rushed into the range was like a wheat that had been cut down, and it fell down in an instant, and the surrounding horse team was also frightened by this loud noise.

Entering fifty steps, the archers of other teams opened their bows and shot arrows, within fifty steps, when the strength of the Huazhou system of military bows was the strongest, or the horses or knights were shot down and killed, there was also a problem, that is, the horses that rushed over saw the opponent's spear array, and the horses were subconsciously about to dodge, and the knights above were hurriedly controlling, and the opponent's second wave of firearms had not yet completed the charge, but the second wave of bows and arrows had already been shot, and they were suddenly shot down again.

At this moment, the horse team behind knew that they must be killed, and the knights didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, they just turned their horses' heads and ran to both sides, but there were Huazhou's cavalry guarding there on both sides, and the cavalry of Huazhou's Northern Army was different from other Huazhou's formations.

Most of the cavalry of the Northern Army were guards and Sinicized Mongols, these people had excellent riding skills, and they could only rely on martial arts to maintain their family business, so their combat skills were honed every day, and they became more and more powerful.

These people are holding sabers and short guns made in Huazhou, and many of them are equipped with bows and arrows or short guns, and when they see the opponent's horse team scattering, the cavalry of the northern army is not in a hurry to touch it, but retreats a few steps to the other side, flows out of the space, and then fights calmly.

The infantry of the Ming army dragged their legs and charged there, but the people in front of the horse team turned on their backs and there were terrible screams, all telling them that they couldn't run, and some people also wanted to run to the sides, but when they saw the cavalry of the Northern Army calmly killing, they even had a little joy, and they all dispelled the idea of escaping, joking, how could their legs outrun the horses.

The drum beat rhythmically, and the twelve squares began to move forward slowly under this rhythm, and the horse team that had just hit them had completely collapsed, and the eyes of the soldiers at this time were full of confidence and bravery, and it turned out that the Ming army was nothing more than that.

The twelve squares are 4,800 people, plus the cavalry of the Northern Army on both sides, a total of more than 5,000 people, but the Ming army, which has a slight advantage in numbers on the opposite side, did not even notice this, they felt that the number of the other party was an absolute advantage.

Seeing that the opponent's front was gradually approaching, the cavalry on both sides had already cleaned up the scattered cavalry, and the corpses of men and horses in front of them, the infantry of the Ming army could not raise the courage to fight at all, and they had no strength at all.

Liu 13 and his personal generals slowly urged the horses to follow behind the advancing infantry formation, seeing that Liu 13 had no intention of giving orders, the officer on the side twisted his body a few times uncomfortably, plucked up the courage to approach and said:

"General, the king means that the Ming army is also Han, if it can be surrendered, it will be surrendered, don't make more killings!"

Hearing this, Liu Shisan patted his forehead, with an expression of "how did I forget" on his face, and with a wave of his hand, the drum behind him was heard, and the thousands of advancing infantry stopped in unison, and used military orders to prohibit it, which is the demeanor of a strong army.

This performance, the Ming army on the opposite side was stunned again, to be honest, it is impossible to run now, if you escape, the opponent's horse team can calmly kill, and it can't run, these soldiers who came out of nowhere behind you are all new forces.

"The infantry team shouted three times, if they don't fall, all of them will be killed!"

As soon as Liu Shisan's order was given, several generals on the side let out a long breath, and hurriedly conveyed the order, and after a while, the infantry in front of them began to shout in a neat manner:

"Disarm and kneel, don't kill!"

So many people's shouts seemed to be thunder, this time the Ming army heard clearly, shouted loudly three times, one of the Ming soldiers finally couldn't withstand the pressure, dropped the single knife in his hand, knelt on the ground dejectedly, when kneeling on the ground, he exhaled a long breath, thinking in his heart, the fatigue of a night can finally rest.

There is such a person who takes the lead, and the rest of the hearts have no psychological burden, the sound of clattering is loud, the weapon is thrown on the ground, the dazed Ming soldiers seem to feel very relaxed in their hearts, and they just kneel on the ground, Liu Shisan turned his head and said to the officer next to him:

"I seem to hear the people on the other side gasping loudly, why is that?"

An officer on the side had a flexible brain, and hurriedly joked:

"It should be that Ming Jun felt that his life was saved and his whole body was relaxed, this is the loud panting."

Liu 13 rubbed his face with his hand, as if he wanted to wipe his exhaustion away from his face, and said with some impatience:

"This battle is really boring, the generals will listen to the order, the whole army will collect the weapons of the surrendered troops, watch the surrendered soldiers, and rest for half an hour!"

The following generals and soldiers listened to the order, scattered to arrange the order, the weapons of the Ming army were all put together, Liu Shisan's personal soldiers also shot an arrow into the sky, as if out of thin air, after about a stick of incense, many carts appeared in the field of vision of the Ming army, a large number of people Ding Zhuang followed the car, under the command of the officers of the Northern Army, the weapons dropped by the Ming army were loaded onto the cart.

There are also big cars with shovels and steel drills and other engineering tools, and there are also cars with dry food and drinking water, the Ming army is extremely greedy, but it is not extravagant, the soldiers have the right to eat, I didn't expect that these things are really for them to eat, and the northern army in Huazhou also has another food supply.

Among the surrendered soldiers, there were three hundred households and one thousand households, who turned over and knelt down from the horse just now, and surrendered in time, which was to save their lives, several people sat in the middle of the crowd, looking at the actions of the opposite army quite suspiciously, such a large manpower, so many people, this is completely inconsistent with the rules, one of them said there:

"This is not in accordance with the rules, at this time the farming is busy, and there are still two or three months to harvest in the autumn, so labor-intensive, is there still food to eat?"

All the barbarians outside the pass enter the Kou, are taking advantage of the autumn accumulation of horses and horses, and enter the customs in winter, at this time, the Han people in the pass have some grain in their homes, and there are also stocks to rob, even the Tartars are not willing to delay the autumn harvest in the pass, or when they enter the pass, they will also be hungry, but this mysterious army is completely unconventional.

After the rest time, I heard the officers of the Huazhou Northern Army shouting viciously:

"Get up, get up, bastards, go tear down the side wall!"
