Chapter 620: Don't move

The heavy cavalry has already withdrawn from the battlefield to rest outside, at this time the people who are tightly attached to the gap in the Ming army's formation are all light cavalry from Huazhou, these guards are already in the beginning of the killing, the concave surface of the Ming army's large array continues to expand, every time there is a gap, the guards who shoot cold arrows in the back will always be excited to fill it.

The Huazhou cavalry shouted loudly, blood splashed in front of them, the more they killed, the more they rose, the soldiers of the Ming army became more and more frightened, according to the pre-arrangement, the two wings of the Ming army should be encircled at this time, and the opponent's breakthrough team should be surrounded in it, and annihilated with superior forces.

Such a tactic requires the Chinese army to retreat and withdraw from a relatively spacious space when it is penetrated by the opponent, so that the troops on both flanks can press up.

But the current situation, Huazhou's light cavalry is like a blood-sucking leech tightly clinging to the Ming army's Chinese army line, the Ming army took a step back, they followed a step forward, the Ming army's Chinese army is mostly foot soldiers, and the Huazhou cavalry's light cavalry speed and explosive power are far superior.

Just clinging to it so tightly can not only give full play to his condescending advantage on the horse, but also let the long weapons in the hands of the Ming army have no room to play.

Zhou Lin and a group of Ming generals looked at the scene here, anxious but there was nothing they could do, in this case, if even if they issued an order to retreat, if the Ming army infantry soldiers who were resisting in front retreated or retreated, according to the cohesion of the Ming army, I am afraid that it will soon become a big rout, that is, the whole formation will collapse. But the current situation, with the willpower and so-called spirit of the Ming army, the Ming army also can't support it for long, to put it really badly, in fact, Zhou Lin is already very surprised that the Jizhen and Baoding soldiers of the Chinese army have supported for so long under the impact of the other party's light cavalry.

The sound of fighting, the sound of weapons clashing, the neighing of people and horses, the whole battlefield was full of these noisy sounds, and suddenly, the rumbling sound sounded like low thunder, and the Huazhou large formation, which had been there watching the cavalry charge, began to have several infantry regiments moving away from the large formation and moving forward.

The uniform pace, the square and straight line of the queue, a few infantry regiments but 10,000 people pressed forward, but the feeling to the Ming army on the opposite side was as if more than 100,000 people were coming, the Chinese army front, which was originally struggling to support, finally couldn't bear the slashing in front of them, and the momentum of the Huazhou phalanx that was constantly approaching behind, every Ming soldier of the Chinese army, whether physically or mentally, was under tremendous pressure.

Under such pressure, the Ming army actually withstood for a while, but around Zhou Lin, the faces of the Ming generals were dead, and Zhou Lin slapped his hand on his forehead helplessly.

These generals have been in the army for many years, and they have a clear observation of the victory or defeat of the army, and when they see such a situation, they will know what the victory or defeat is.

Sure enough, the situation was the same as they predicted, after a short time, there was a bang, the Chinese army that was covered by the light cavalry finally could not support it, the whole army collapsed, and the soldiers were running towards a place without an enemy.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Ming army were scattered, the Huazhou light cavalry fighting there was even more morale, following behind the pursuit, most of the casualties in the war appeared when the pursuit was routing, at this time, of course, it was no exception, there were constantly soldiers screaming and being killed by the cavalry chasing behind.

The Chinese army was scattered, although the Ming army on both wings was still complete, but it was equivalent to being separated from the middle by the Huazhou army, which was also an extremely dangerous situation, the Ming army on both sides was extremely panicked, watching the rout rush to him, although the officers gave the order to cut and kill the chaotic soldiers.

However, the number of routs is too much, there are weapons in their hands, and they can resist, and the two wings are gradually chaotic, their own people and their own people are fighting, and the original defensive formation cannot be put out, and they are caught up by the Huazhou light cavalry that followed from behind.

When the Ming army was arranged, in order to guard against the artillery and various tactics of the Huazhou army, the queue was very loose, and the officers had a headache in order to control the troops.

However, the formation of the two wings has not had time to be prepared, and it was already chaotic when it was rushed by its own rout, and when it saw the opponent's cavalry coming, the soldiers who could not contain it were even more scattered in all directions.

At this time, in addition to the first few infantry regiments in Huazhou, the rest of the infantry team also began to slowly press towards the Ming army in the rhythm of drums, which accelerated the collapse of the Ming army, in fact, the light cavalry did not have any advantage in firearms at present, and the speed of impact was getting smaller and smaller.

If the infantry of the Ming army returns to fight, it may not be the result of defeat, but the battle of the soldiers on this battlefield is supported by morale, and the Ming army, which is so frightened, where does it still have the courage to fight, especially looking at the vicious slashing of the light cavalry, the Huazhou infantry phalanx behind it is pressed over like a mountain, and the psychological pressure and fear are constantly superimposed, and the heart can't bear it, but the idea of escaping is left.

The situation on the side of the Huazhou Infantry Regiment can be described as ridiculous, because of the high cost and the difficulty of manufacturing, the flintlock pistol has not yet been equipped with troops. Therefore, the arquebus used by the regular army is still an arquebus, and the arquebus must be lit with a fire rope after being loaded with ammunition and primer, and Huazhou uses a copper pipe fire medium, but the length of the fire rope is limited, and the fire medium cannot be kept for too long if the cover is removed.

After the loading of ammunition is completed, the arquebus is lit or the cover of the fire medium is opened, and the primer is ready to be ignited and fired, but the soldiers of the first column of the infantry regiment are advancing forward, but the Ming army is constantly retreating, and the advance of the Huazhou army is not fast in order to pay attention to the column, but the speed of the Ming army's retreat is fast, and the distance between the two sides is always outside the range, and you can't shoot indiscriminately outside the range, which is the military law of Huazhou.

But after walking three hundred steps like this, the Ming army's formation was in chaos and widened the distance, and someone's fire medium was already going to be spared, and the fire rope was also burned to a standard length.

If the Ming army launched a counter-charge at this time, the infantry regiment in Huazhou would really be a little caught off guard, and maybe there would be a very good result, of course, there was nothing to be if on the battlefield.

It is also thanks to the vastness of the North China Plain, the Ming army stationed in Luanzhou of such a large scale suddenly collapsed, and as far as the eye can see, all the Ming troops are running around, these so-called soldiers who are only used as serfs and tenants in ordinary times cannot bear such iron and blood.

The light cavalry and foot soldiers of the Huazhou army were a little stunned, did this distinguish the victory or defeat? Although the instructors and officers repeatedly instilled the idea that "the Ming army is rotten and most of them are unbearable to fight" in ordinary training, these people are all people who have come from the pass, and there is always a sense of fear in their hearts for the officers and soldiers.

Although there are many veterans who have gained confidence on the battlefield, most of them are just new recruits, and they are a little apprehensive when they see such a large scale of the Ming army.

The charge of the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry made the fear in their hearts dissipate without a trace, and when they began to advance, when they saw this level of battle, and there was not even any hand-to-hand combat, the other party had already broken up like this. There are some weird feelings in everyone's hearts, to be precise, some funny feelings. This battle is a bit too child's play.

The battlefield was full of routs and deserters, but in the center of the formation of the Ming army, there were always people who did not move, Zhou Lin and the generals of Yigan were there, and their faces had become normal at this time, perhaps because things were already like this, and there was no room for recovery, but everyone saw it.

Zhou Lin has been gently touching the mane of the horse with his hand, the whip in his hand has long been thrown away, put on the handle of his sword, looked back at several generals and said:

"I thought I could drag the other party down, but I didn't expect our army to be so unbearable, and now we can only fight to the death?"

This was said with great ease, as if he was going there to have fun, and several of the generals behind him, some of them spat at the side with hatred, and scolded:

"These bastards, looking at the soldier with a knife and armor, look like a rabbit when they start fighting, running all over the mountains, they are really damn people who have lost their ancestors!"

Zhou Lin laughed there, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, raised his finger to point at the chaotic battlefield, and said with a smile:

"These soldiers are all going to farm and work above them, and they have more time to make money and less time to train and fight?"

When the scolding officer heard this, he also laughed and said:

"Shaanxi is poor, there are many Tartars, the sons and daughters can't stop fighting, how can they have the effort to farm and work, if they are gone, we often want to be a landlord foreman or something......"

More than a dozen generals here all laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed, as if they were not on the battlefield at this time, but in a teahouse and wine shop.

The chaotic soldiers on the battlefield were gradually driven clean, or dead or surrendered, and the horses of the Huazhou light cavalry were also a little tired, and the continuous reciprocating charge was still very horsepower-consuming, but the Huazhou cavalry no longer dared to move forward.

It seems that the wind blew away the sand and soil, revealing the treasures buried in it, and the Ming army broke and dispersed, but there was a group of Ming troops who never moved, like mountains.

"Shall we die here today?"

In that formation, Zhou Lin said calmly.
