Chapter 312: Iron Armor, Spear, Sword and Axe
The most important thing for the troops of the Jiang family army is the queue and formation, and the so-called exquisite coordination is difficult to say that it can be done, but after the modern queue practice brought by Jiang Feng, let the soldiers attack in a uniform manner and defend in a uniform manner, but they can maximize the strength of individuals on the battlefield.
The 2,000 soldiers in Liu Shisan's hands did not have veterans from Dengzhou back then, but the officers of these soldiers were all from Weishan Island, and they could be regarded as the soldiers and generals of the Liu family, and they were more handy to use.
Laiwu produces iron ore, which is one of the important production areas of the Ming Dynasty's weapons manufacturing, the well-equipped Laiwu camp is naturally needless to say, everyone wears iron armor, and the weapons in their hands are placed in the ordinary guards, which can be said to be refined.
Two thousand people are five square teams, the captain of each square team shouted, under the drummer's drum, the square team slowly moved towards the official army, because the pace is neat, every step is a uniform step, the body of the nail leaf trembling sound, it is to add amazing momentum.
Zhou Guerrilla looked at the team in front of him, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the pro-soldiers around him also looked worried, looked at the iron armor on the other party's body and looked at the leather armor on his body, this gap is too big, Zhou Guerrilla turned around and looked around the battlefield, although the current officers and troops still have advantages, but they are fighting everywhere, there is still some distance from winning or losing, if he goes, it will be a big collapse, and everything will be out of control.
Thinking of this, Zhou Guerrilla dragged over a guard who was also on the horse, and shouted viciously:
"Yang Shoubei, now you gather a group of brothers who can be collected first, and crush the core of this chaotic army, otherwise we are afraid that we will all have to be handed over here."
That Yang Garrison glanced at the ironclad thief army that was slowly moving over, although there was still a lot of distance, but the pressure on the formation was already diffuse, and he immediately obeyed the order, and immediately turned his horse's head to collect the soldiers. Zhou Guerrilla followed his subordinates and said:
"Wait a minute, follow behind, crush this ironclad bandit army, and we will win this battle!"
There were more officers and soldiers on the battlefield than the army of the chaotic people, and in many places there were more people and fewer people, and that Yang garrison gathered everywhere, and he really gathered more than 3,000 men and horses.
Originally, there were some signs of dispersion, but now they are gathered around Liu Shisan's two thousand ironclad soldiers, because since they were coerced, Liu Shisan's ironclad army formation has a principle, close to disturb the ironclad army will not be forgiven, so they dare not approach, but they are all surrounded around.
Slowly, a large group of nearly 4,000 people was formed, and the surrounding officers and troops repeatedly rushed around this group, and now more than 5,000 young people are left after the fierce battle, and more than 1,000 people are divided and surrounded, and the fate of being exterminated has been determined.
Yang Garrison concentrated more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and there were still two or three hundred horses in it, and the concentration of forces was quickly dispersed by the chaotic army that had just gathered around the ironclad army, and now it was completely empty, and now it was equivalent to the left side of Liu Shisan's core army was completely exposed to the other party.
When the officers and soldiers were just about to make an impact, there was a whistle in the ironclad team, obviously giving some kind of order, and they reacted extremely quickly, and the slow-moving ironclad army immediately stopped its steps, and the eight hundred people in the two squares turned in unison, facing the three thousand men and horses guarded by Yang.
The remaining three teams continued to move towards the place where the battle was most intense, Yang Garrison saw such a situation, his three thousand soldiers and horses were completely advantageous, and he overwhelmed these teams in a moment, and then attacked back and forth to deal with the remaining three troops, damn, I really don't know how this Liu Shisan was the garrison of the Laiwu battalion, on the battlefield of this kind of war, it was actually a division of troops, which was clearly looking for death.
Before the officers and soldiers gave the order to charge, the drums of the two ironclad armies on the opposite side hurriedly remembered three times in a row, the first row of ironclad soldiers had flat spears, and the spears of the second row were on the shoulders of the first row.
Forty men rushed to the front, and eighty spears were in front of the weapon, which was simply a hedgehog. Moreover, the weapon system of the Jiang army is one foot longer than the spear of the Ming army, which is already a decisive length on the battlefield.
The soldiers under Yang Garrison were also red-eyed, and the ironclad team rushed up quickly, but the speed was also much slower, and the three thousand officers and soldiers quickly rushed over under the leadership of the officers at all levels of the Thousand Commanders, but the confrontation in the first row was not even touched by the opponent's body at all, and they were directly stabbed to death.
The same is true for the second row, by the time of the third row, the officers and soldiers are no longer all armed with spears, but have knife and axe hands, the contest between short weapons and long weapons is useful in the chaotic battlefield, but when the formation is formed, if the weapons in the hands of the knife and axe hands want to cause damage to the opponent, then the only way to throw the weapons out and smash people.
In the military formation, you can kill people, others can't kill you, if it's chaotic, you can kill people, others can kill you. Every soldier trained in the Jiang Jiajun was told this, and the ironclad soldiers would rather slow down their speed than mess up the formation, but as a result, they rushed into the formation of the officers and soldiers with their spears, which was really a bit overwhelming.
The soldiers in the first three rows were either killed, or turned around and fled back, Yang Shi saw that the 3,000 people he had gathered were already about to collapse, and hurriedly arranged for his own soldiers to step forward to look at the heads of several defeated soldiers, and then shouted immediately:
"Hit them on both sides, on both sides!"
The troops who were calmed down by the pro-soldiers who were supervised by the battle hurriedly turned towards both sides according to their commander's words, and the Jiang family's army's square team, if it was not for the army of the Dengzhou battalion, generally did not have guns and artillery, so there were fifty sword and shield men in the middle of the square team, and they were in the innermost rows.
When the officers and soldiers dodged and prepared to attack the flank of the ironclad team, the two captains of the ironclad team gave a loud order:
"Scatter, one step!"
Hearing this, the spearmen on the four sides of the square team stabbed out with flat-ended spears in all directions, and at the same time took a step forward, and then quickly formed a one-step distance between the left and right.
Because these things are not above the Ming Dynasty's discipline at all, and they are not the kind of short fights of the chaotic people, but there is a gap in the tight spear hedgehog formation, and the opportunity of the sword and axe hands of the officials and soldiers has come, and after the spear formation leaks out of the gap, the iron armor knife and axe hand with a shield and sword rushed out of the formation.
Although the number of Ming soldiers outside is far more than that of the soldiers who came out of the spear array, the quality is much worse, whether there is enough food on weekdays, whether it is training every day, whether it pays attention to the cooperation between two or three people, and whether the equipment is complete, this is the key.
Whether it is strength and technology, it is already much worse, these officers and soldiers who are desperate for two months of full pay must not know that among Liu Shisan's 2,000 personal soldiers, they are now paid double salaries every month, and they are still according to the standards of the Laiwu camp in the past, and there are some rewards for cutting off their heads.
The sword and axe hands surrounded the phalanx of spearmen, slashing outside, the Ming army wearing cloth clothes and the rebellious army wearing iron armor competed, this time it was really broken down, Yang Garrison watched there, and the soldiers around him whispered there:
"My lord, do you want to go up and rush now?"
Yang Shoubei sighed and scolded in a low voice:
"What are you rushing for, run for your life."
After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the place where there were few people, and when he ran, the two hundred horsemen around him naturally galloped towards the empty place.
This is the first force to escape on the battlefield, the three teams over there have completely compressed the 3,000 people led by Zhou Guerrilla, and the army composed of the rebels has been re-stimulated, and now the situation on the battlefield has been completely reversed, and Zhou Guerrilla is already watching the retreat on the battlefield.
As soon as the Yang garrison over there collapsed, the entire battlefield began to quickly become chaotic, but the troops gathered by Zhou's guerrilla subordinates continued to gather and rout, although they continued to retreat, but there were more and more people, but they held on, and Liu Shisan was already a little anxious.
Looking at the thousands of officers and soldiers gathered in front of them, now that the rebel armies outside are besieging them to the death, it is even more difficult for the ironclad infantry to move forward.
Zhou Guerrilla relied on his own soldiers and his officers to desperately maintain order, shouting there:
"When the reinforcements from the city come out, we'll win!"
Now even he won't believe this sentence, but now that the outside is surrounded by the army of the chaotic people, and everyone is there to support them to the death, Liu Shisan knows that if the two thousand people led by Jiang Feng have no firearms, in the face of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, I am afraid that they can directly rush in and kill and win quickly, but they are so difficult to fight this battle.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, all of a sudden, the ironclad soldiers who had been silently killing the enemy and the desperate fighting chaos broke out into a huge cheer, and a voice changed from small to loud, and gradually every Liu Shisan's subordinates shouted there:
"Linyi City is broken!! Linyi City is broken!! ”
At this time, the officers and soldiers finally collapsed, hundreds of personal soldiers escorted the Zhou guerrilla to the south, and now the city of Linyi is shouting and killing, but the city gate has been wide open, which already shows that the city of Linyi has not been able to support for too long, and the collapse of the Zhou guerrilla army in the city has made the soldiers defending the city have no will to continue to support.
Gradually, louder voices began to be heard on the battlefield:
"Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill......"
