Chapter 905: Dog Fight

Duo'er hesitated at this time, he had already felt the strength of the Jurchens' combat power, but there was no way to withdraw from the battlefield at this time, once they left, there were many unpredictable consequences, and the possibility of the collapse of the cavalry was not great, but it was very likely that they would be pursued by the enemy biting their tails, so the losses could be very large, and they could not explain to the divisions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If there is no sure safe escape on the battlefield, it can only be regarded as an escape, which is something that Do'er and other officers cannot accept.

And the most important thing is that there are still quite a lot of seriously wounded and the corpses of the soldiers killed in the war left behind, if you abandon the bones of your comrades and soldiers and flee, it is unacceptable to everyone up and down.

Doll gasped and looked around.

Behind him was a large area of chaos, the destructive power of thousands of cavalry galloping wildly was very amazing, the large area of lacquered grass was trampled so that the original shape could not be seen, some small prey such as hares were running on the messy turf, they were at a loss, they did not know what was happening.

A few miles away was the Jurchen array, which still looked so solid and stable, without any flaws.

Duo'er felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he was used to fighting battles with the wind, and he felt at a loss for what to do in front of him.

However, he is the chief general, a group of staff officers and military commanders around him are waiting, the left, center and right are full of officers waiting for military orders, the flag bearer and the drummer are the first group of people to recover, they have also received such training, in the most chaotic battlefield, the flag bearer and the drummer must be the first to recover, so when Li Zhuang marched and reviewed, the first flag bearer and the first drummer were at the forefront of the team with the officer and the veteran sergeant major.

"My lord, the enemy is attacking!"

The chaos had not yet been completely calmed down, and of course the gunners had not yet reloaded, and at this time, most of them had already seen hundreds of cavalry rushing out of the Jurchen infantry formation, galloping towards this side.

Smoke and dust billowed and a muffled thunderous sound passed in this direction, and many of the cavalry officers changed color, and it was the first time they saw the enemy's reaction so fast, and they quickly recharged to their side.

A cavalry officer shouted, "It's all the white armor of the Eastern Captives!" ”

Duo'er's face became solemn, under the influence of many years, even the most arrogant officers of the merchant army knew the power of Dongyu Baijia, they were more sophisticated in horsemanship, more skilled in battle, strong-willed, and experienced, this is a group of killing machines, Houjin's hundred battle warriors, in the case that their side has not yet completed the formation, they want to hedge against their own side?

Houjin's white-armored cavalry is getting closer and closer, and when they get closer, Duo'er and the staff officers can see that these cavalry are not pure white armor, and there may also be some ordinary armored soldiers with bright armor and dark armor and Bashiku with a flag on their backs, and there are several large flags in the middle of the battle, which should be Niu Lu Ezhen or a higher-level officer who leads the battle.

"My lord, our army should stabilize the front, and all the soldiers should be loaded." A staff officer hurriedly said: "There is still a long way to go, and we should finish loading when they arrive." ”

"It's too late!"

"Either the whole team or the loading and putting on the spot!"

"Rushing to the battle with heavy armor, the lethality of the fire gun may not be enough!"

The staff officers are also in chaos, these hundreds of armored soldiers may be the highest force on the Jurchen side, and if the fire gun cannot contain the enemy's cavalry offensive and is charged into the formation by it, the consequences of the chaos of the cavalry formation may be very serious!

"Don't make any noise!" Duo'er was furious, and his blood surged, and ordered: "The first brigade holds a saber and the whole team meets the enemy, if the enemy cavalry comes, hedge with it, the second brigade and the third brigade continue to load, and pack the enemy cavalry in a semi-circular formation!" “

……

"Boljin shrimp," Yahichan shouted at Boljin as he galloped his horse, "Shall we hedge against the Ming army to contain its whole team, or will we approach to harass its periphery in a ranger manner, and come to cooperate with the infantry formation?" ”

Borjin is not only Meler Ezhen, but also Nurhachi's guard, so he is called Borjin shrimp, his position in the two red flags is more special, he has several of his own hereditary Niu Lu, not the kind of ordinary officials who only have the world to manage Niu Lu and Gongzhong Niu Lu, following Nur Hachi is also earlier, has experienced countless wars, and is recognized as a very good old qualification in the two red flags.

In today's battle, Boljin also felt a little nervous, but there was not too much nervousness, he looked ahead, the Ming cavalry seemed to be still in chaos, he felt that the war horses across and down were close to the highest speed, judging by experience, it only took a short time to approach the Ming army array.

Boljin didn't have a clock, but his rich experience made him make a correct judgment, and now the horse speed of the Houjin Cavalry has reached an average of nearly fifteen or sixteen meters per second, although it does not have the average maximum horse speed of twenty meters per second, but it only takes less than three minutes to rush to the opposite side at the current horse speed, and the Ming army on the opposite side has to complete the team, and then load the firecracker, and the time is too late anyway.

"The master means that we are mainly harassed by rangers." Yahizen screamed again.

Yahichan is the leader of the white armor, of course, he is unwilling to use his subordinates and the Ming army to hedge, judging from the performance of the Ming army and the sturdy armor, the loss of the hedge will be quite large, so big that it is unacceptable to call Yahichan.

"Look at how the Ming army chooses!" Borjin shouted: "If the whole team is armed, we will rush over, and if it still has the will to fight, and the army comes to hedge, we will harass it with rangers and do not confront it head-on." ”

……

When Wang Jingzhong received the order, his eyes immediately turned red.

A large group had just rushed into battle first, so he was the first to arrive here, and he counted the losses, at least half of the soldiers who fell off their horses were a large team, and even Liu Jingrong, the deputy commander of the brigade, was killed by heavy arrows.

However, the military order cannot be disobeyed, the military discipline of the Shangtuan Army is very strict, no matter how big the loss is, how difficult it feels to be fighting, Wang Jingzhong can only obey orders.

Under the command of the big flag and flag gun, the experienced sergeant major is the first to ride his horse and stand at the head of the team, and the tail of the team is the position of the squad and squadron and the battalion-level commander deputy, they are also holding flag guns, and the main commander in the formation and the sergeant major at the head of the team echo each other, all the officers and sergeants are as neat as possible to line up the line, everyone understands that the neatness of the array is related to the victory or defeat of the battle...... The cavalry is not a lancer, their hedging training is not as perverted as the lancers, but they have also received quite strict training in the formation, each cavalry is as close as possible to their partners, keep a safe distance, control the reins in the left hand, hold a knife in the right hand, and wait for a squadron to complete the rectification, that is, immediately control the horse and slowly join the rest of the squadron, due to the early formation of the whole team, a large team in the order almost instantaneously completed the rectification of the brigade, began to slowly move forward the whole team.

The rest of the cavalry also found their officers and companions as quickly as possible under the urging of the officers, and confusion was inevitable, and those who found the queue took out the cavalry from their pockets and began to reload quickly.

It is very difficult to reload on a horse, and the fastest time to shoot three rounds a minute during training is average, while some high-level gunners can reach four or even five rounds a minute, and five rounds is the limit. Loading on horseback, one shot a minute was a very high standard, and as a large group marched forward slowly, the entire position of the gunners was filled with the sound of the clanging of the guns.

"All of you follow me." Wang Jingzhong is not good at doing enthusiastic pre-war mobilization, he just rode his horse and ran around in front of the team, and said simply: "Behind us is the regimental commander and many robe partners, everyone rushes forward with me, even if the enemy is extremely fierce, we must move forward bravely, do not let down Lord Zhang and our brothers behind us." Cavalry, follow me! ”

"Kill!"

After a brief reply, more than a thousand men, as their commanders did, were greeted by a high-pitched and violent trumpet, and their morale was raised, and the cavalry of the entire brigade began to advance in a horizontal formation.

The cavalry on both sides of the cavalry hedged and rode in at a fast speed, and when they were halfway through, Wang Jingzhong and other cavalry officers found that the formation of the Houjin and Baijia on the opposite side began to loosen, and the cavalry of the brigade pulled towards the two wings, rather than choosing to hedge with the cavalry.

This was a new situation, if the opponent did not accept the hedge, such a vast geographical dense formation was useless, the cavalry also began to slow down the speed of the horses, Wang Jingzhong sent several squadrons to disperse, on both flanks to meet the enemy cavalry, after a few minutes, the shouts of both sides began to be high-pitched.

The cavalry whistled the bamboo whistle, echoing each other with flag guns and whistles, dozens of people in a squadron gathered together to meet the enemy, the white armor made a strange noise, the Chinese army also heard the sound of the horn to mobilize the troops and horses, a large number of white armor and Fu Erjin shrimp under the banner armor scattered, but also dozens of horsemen in a group in the vast grassland rushed to the cavalry.

The white armor threw bone and hand axes, throwing guns and other throwing weapons one after another, their speed was too fast, and they were too accurate!

It may be difficult for future generations to imagine what kind of effect the warriors of the ancients would achieve by spending their energy and wisdom in battle all their lives!

Dozens of paces apart, a large number of throwing spears and axes were thrown, the horses of the cavalry were thrown one after another, a large number of soldiers fell from their horses with a roar of rage, they smashed on the grass like stones, many people were broken, and a few people were trampled by the horses of their own partners, and the bones in their chests made a crackling sound, and people fainted on the spot.

The cavalry returned fire with a cavalry or a short gun, and the loaded ones began to be fired at close range, the fire splashed, the white smoke filled, and the battlefield resounded with the sound of firearms one after another, and there were also gold and white armor and ordinary armor soldiers being knocked down. The effective firing distance of the handcuffs was closer, and it was useful at a distance of twenty paces, and a group of dozens of gunned cavalry fired together as they galloped over, and many white armors were knocked down in a state of surprise.

The two sides quickly came into contact, the wandering dogs fought back and forth, the cavalry of thirty or fifty people fought in many groups, and the cavalry in their early 1,000s against the Houjin armor of more than 400 people, and they were not inferior to each other.
