Chapter 371: Under the Battle of Yanping
When Wang Yan observed the Qing troops again, the cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed forward and did not stop until the two sides were less than fifty paces apart.
At this distance, the bird commander, bow and arrow can be hit, it is very dangerous, and there is no need for anyone to command, and the knights on both sides have already surrounded the commander in the middle.
Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, let alone such a close distance? \u000bBefore the start of the war, both sides peep into each other's formation, which is the tacit understanding of the dignified division to the dignified division, and both sides will basically not attack each other. \u000b At this distance now, he can even see the other party's face, what kind of armor he wears, and what weapons he takes, but Wang Yan obviously doesn't care about these, he only has one question in his mind, why Bolo is still in such a place that is not conducive to cavalry combat, still put on a cavalry attack formation, Wang Yan observed for a long time, and still has no answer.
He saw that behind the Qing cavalry of Chen Bing Yaowu, there were the infantry of the brigade and some carts, and he was puzzled, but the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and he was not afraid.
At the same time that Wang Yan peeked at the formation of the Qing army, Bolo was also looking at the formation of the Ming army, he also looked at the military formation first, saw the left and right wings of the Ming army and the finished font of the Chinese army, and then the infantry of the Chinese army, and the cavalry was placed behind the Chinese army, on both sides of the tail, each displayed 5,000 cavalry, the whole large array was like a short arrow, the front army and the left and right wings were like arrows, the Chinese army was the body of the arrow, and the rear cavalry was the wings, which was a variant of the stacked array.
This formation originated in the Song Dynasty, created by the famous general Wu Lan of the Southern Song Dynasty, and repeatedly made the Jin cavalry suffer a big loss.
At this time, Bolo moved his eyes to the cavalry of the Ming army in front of him, Wang Yan was dressed coquettishly, and at first glance he was the commander of the army, it was difficult not to attract Bolo's attention, so he pointed at Wang Yan in a red robe with a horsewhip, and turned around and asked: "Wang Shiheng, the one in the red robe?" A sour appearance of a literati. ”
The Han officials who surrendered behind him, some of whom had seen Wang Yan, immediately replied: "Lord Belle, there is no doubt that it is Wang Yan, in the Southern Ming army, there are less than thirty, and the only people who command the army are Wang Yan and Zheng Chenggong." ”
Bo Luo sneered, and said to the generals who followed: "You can look carefully, keep that Wang Yan's appearance in mind, and wait for Ben Shuai to break the Ming army, which of you captures this person, the official will be promoted to three levels~"
"Chirp~" A group of Qing generals were overjoyed.
Seeing this, Bolo smiled with satisfaction, and no longer observed, but pulled the reins and turned his horse's head, and ran towards his own army.
Before Bolo returned to the army, he immediately shouted: "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty! In front is the most capable Wang Yanjun of Nanming, but in the eyes of Ben Shuai, they are a group of timid and cowardly lambs, warriors of the Eight Banners, raise your swords, and tell the Nanban in front of you, who is the invincible army in the world! In this battle, this commander ordered you to defeat the Ming army in front of you, and you must win, not lose! ”
Bolo's horse galloped in front of the formation, urging the war horse, while shouting loudly, the horse's hooves startled a cloud of dust, and the Qing cavalry in front of the formation, their eyes followed his figure, they puffed up their chests, clenched their spears, and shouted in response to Bolo.
"Aixin Jueluo ~ Aixin Jueluo ~" The Manchurian Eight Banners shouted in Manchu in unison, of course, it was also mixed with the shouts of the Han Eight Banners "Victory", and the momentum of the Qing army was overwhelming.
In this battle, in order to solve Wang Yan's trouble as soon as possible, Bolo uncharacteristically did not use the green battalion and the troops to fight first, but sent the Eight Banners to fight at the beginning, so even if the army in front of him is Wang Yan's department that Nanming can fight the most, Bolo also has the confidence to win!
At this time, after Bolo agitated the momentum of the Qing soldiers, he immediately rushed back to the Chinese army, he turned over and dismounted, and threw the horsewhip to the guards as he walked. "\u000b" Baylor rest assured, already fully equipped with the help of auxiliaries and ready to launch an assault! ”
Bolo nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, let them be ready, and when the light cavalry disrupts the Ming army's formation, the commander will let them be desperate and disrupt the Ming army!" ”
"Oh, Lord Belle rest assured, the Ming army has no heavy infantry, and the light infantry can't block the impact!"
In the Qing army's formation, the drums and horns sounded together, the loud horns rose to the sky, and the stirring war drums rang out loudly, making the blood of the Eight Banners surging up, and even the war horses under the crotch were in a commotion, and they kept rowing their hooves!
At this time, Wang Yan also returned to the Ming army, and unlike Bolo, he did not rush in front of the battle. At this time, the infantry in front was busy setting up horses, wooden stakes, and other obstacles, while the Ming army rode on foot, and what was needed was not the impulse under the blood, but the calmness under the nervousness.
Just imagine, if the soldiers are too excited and forget their positions and duties, it will not do the slightest benefit to a well-coordinated infantry formation.
After Wang Yan observed the enemy formation, he saw that Bolo, who had observed the formation of the Ming army, still did not change the formation of the Qing soldiers, and was obviously still preparing to attack with cavalry. "Pass on the order of the governor, the Qing soldiers have ten **, to raid the weak left and right wings, with the intention of messing up our big array, and order all armies to prepare to meet the enemy!"
At this time, the war drums of the Qing army slowly and hurriedly, this is the signal of the attack, from the Qing army array, suddenly erupted like a mountain of calls, with the sound of the voice, the Eight Banners cavalry in front of the army slowly left the formation, shouting Manchu, Mongolian, Han, the language of all ethnic groups, to the Ming army array.
In the terrible silence, the generals of the Ming army, calmly staring at the attacking enemy horsemen, pulled out their sabers, held high above their heads, waiting for the Qing soldiers to enter the firing range, the soldiers held their spears and shields tightly, and the step archers in the back row inserted the feather arrows in the quiver on the ground, so that they could take the arrows immediately after shooting, they held the bow in one hand, and the other hand had pinched the arrow shaft inserted in the ground, and the bird commander took out the flint and prepared to light the arquebus.
In terms of cavalry, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's advantage was much more powerful than that of Da Ming, and the Eight Banners in front of him were much more elite than Wang Yan's supervision.
The battlefield is narrow, too many cavalry to fight together, but will lose the roundabout space, in the Qing army array, there is a yellow inlay of Bayan Ling, a red inlay of Meng Qiaofang, and a white inlay of Han Daxun, in addition to the eight banners of various Mongolian departments, a total of more than 40,000 people, as if in the exhibition of the eight banners.
At this time, the first to rush out was that the Han army was inlaid with a red flag of 4,000 cavalry, and when they approached the Ming army for two miles, they began to speed up, and the sound of the trumpet in their mouths never stopped, and they were divided into two ways to kill and rush over, and sure enough, as Wang Yan said, this was coming towards the left and right wings. \u000b "Fire! "\u000b" Arrow! "\u000b" ignition! \u000b The orders sounded in the Ming formation, and the soldiers quickly put their arrows on the bowstrings almost at the same time, while the Francos in front began a round of shelling.
The small cannon of the Franc machine has four sub-systems, that is, it can quickly fire four cannons, and four sub-systems, which are respectively loaded with solid bullets and scattered bullets, and the firing range is from far to near, and they are hit at different distances.
The sound of hooves roared, the ground seemed to be trampled and trembled, and the Ming army's great array was still like an immovable rock, standing still.
In front of the battle, the hundreds of small Buddha Lang machines made a sound of "spray~", which was not as deafening as the Hongyi cannon, but it was also full of gunsmoke, and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers witnessed the Qing soldiers who were killed being smashed off their horses, but they were surprisingly quiet. \u000b "The enemy is nearly 300 paces, the artillery team is withdrawn, the infantry archers are open, and the birds are ready to be prepared~" Officers at all levels raised their throats and howled out the order. \u000bThousands of Ming archers, the movements are uniform, each bow is torn round, the archers deliberately raise the arrow, this is to increase the range by means of projectile, and can cooperate with the bird commander, the bird dominates the front, and the bow and arrow hangs the cavalry behind, forming a firepower intertwined.
This tactic, against lightly armed light cavalry, was quite effective. \u000bAt this time, the cavalry of the Qing army also began to bend their bows and arrows on their horses, they were light cavalry, and naturally they could not bear the responsibility of charging into battle, but to disrupt the Ming army's formation by riding and shooting.
