"We have a total of three hundred and twenty-five people, not even a pond horse, a pure infantry phalanx, in the middle is the largest pikeman phalanx, each pikeman is one step apart, two hundred and six pikemen, two hundred and six pikemen, two eighty-two people in the bird gun banner team, respectively on the left and right sides of the phalanx, the commander of the battle company has a total of thirty-seven people, and the division is lined up in front of the pike phalanx...... In fact, it would be nice if there was another Bird Gun Flag Team, you can divide the Bird Gun Flag Team into four corners, relying on the spear phalanx around them, and then put them on the front and left and right sides of the formation, and take turns to load and put them, the spear phalanx keeps moving forward, and the bird guns can be played and released without stopping......"

Li Gui's eyes are a standard Spanish phalanx, but also the best example of the combination of hot and cold, soldiers, weapons and the best example of the phalanx, the same era or slightly worse than the Swedish phalanx, but also an excellent infantry phalanx, the Spanish phalanx is not without shortcomings, in the battle with the French army decades later, the Spanish phalanx prematurely lost the cover of the cavalry, the French army took advantage of the slow movement of the phalanx to use the cavalry to impact the left flank of the Spanish musketeers, and with superior cavalry to surround the Spaniards, and finally the French infantry caught up, Then bombarded the Spanish phalanx with heavy artillery, and in the end the Spaniards lost seventy percent of their strength and had no choice but to surrender.

It's just that the Spanish phalanx was defeated by the French Army of the rising era with better firepower, better infantry coordination, better training, and better weapons, not the untrained barbarian cavalry on a purely medieval level like the Mongols in front of you!

After calculating the output of the artillery behind the phalanx, as well as the output firepower of the bird's gunners on the left and right flanks, Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "We will win this battle!" ”

Yang Sisun didn't pay attention to Li Gui's calculations, and when he heard Li Gui's words, he laughed at the moment and said, "Okay, that's what Staff Officer Li said, we will win this battle!" ”

At this time, a large force of cavalry still surged up after all, and the artillery behind the formation fired the fourth round, and the cavalry also pounced to a distance of about sixty paces, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the cavalry that had not fallen into a state of confusion still pressed over like a black cloud, so close, it seemed that you could see the ugly faces of those northern captives!

The cavalrymen, whether they were armoured soldiers or herdsmen, tried their best to stretch their spears forward, or waved the long knives in their hands, they only had one thought, no matter what, there were only more than 300 people in front, and the number of people on their side was more than ten times that of them.

Su Nang was also in the formation, of course he would not rush in the first column, there were dozens of personal soldiers guarding him around him, and they controlled the speed of the horse while sprinting, trying to let others overtake him.

Because of the lack of training, whether it is a herdsman, an armored soldier, or a horse thief for many years, everyone is looking left and right in front of them...... Except for a few guys with bloodshot brains who were still rushing forward at the fastest speed, the rest of the people were already slowing down.

Dozens of steps away in front of him are the merchant soldiers, everyone is wearing armor, a piece of silver light flashes, obviously not a delicious fruit, even if they defeat them, break the car formation and grab a large number of supplies, if they lose their lives, it will be a big loss.

Everyone had the same idea, although Su Sang and Bu Sang had said in advance that they would break through directly in the center and no longer use Rava tactics, but when they approached a distance of dozens of paces, many people couldn't help but deflect the direction, and at the same time subconsciously took off their riding bows......

"First round, let's play!"

When the first round of bows and arrows came from the north, there were flying locusts in the sky, and the sound of collapsing bowstrings rang out along with the buzzing sound of arrows breaking through the air.

But no one was afraid, and many were not even interested in taking a look.

Whether pikemen, heavily armoured warriors, or birdmen, each of them was either ironclad or chainmail, or chainmail with leather armor, and the bows and arrows of the northern captives were like children's toys in front of these armors.

More than eighty birdmen were divided into two rows, the left and right flanks were on both sides of the pike, and in the middle of them were more than thirty hopping soldiers in heavy armor, and the positions of the soldiers were also slightly closer to the sides, their task was not to engage the cavalry, but to protect their side as much as possible.

The core of this phalanx is more than 200 pikemen, under the morning sun, the tips of the spears are shining, the array is very tight, revealing a steady and solemn atmosphere, the birds and spear phalanx are very close, they feel at ease.

The first round was forty birds, fifty paces away.

The muzzles of each of their guns burst into flames, white smoke rose from the doors of the arquebuses, and the bird-gunners turned sideways to move a step away from their companions when they had finished firing, and then they heard the order to be fired by the second team, and then there was another loud bang.

The first column of the gunners had no time to observe, and they began to clear their chambers at the very first moment of playing, and on the battlefield there was a clattering sound of cleaning the chambers with canes, and then it was time to reload the sub-ammunition, and the dragons re-clamped the arquebus, and then they were ordered to raise their guns again.

All of this action began at the same time as the rear team stepped forward to fire, and when the rear team finished releasing the gun, there was also a sound of cleaning the chamber of the gun.

Li Shouxin is the flag captain of the first flag team, he does not have a bird gun himself, and when the brothers are loading, he is observing the enemy situation on the opposite side.

More than 20 people were defeated in the first round, and many war horses were hit, causing confusion of hundreds of cavalry in the front, people turned on their backs, and the already chaotic cavalry became more chaotic, and the forty bird guns certainly did not cause a fatal blow, which was simply not worth mentioning for a European army of the same period, and their infantry phalanx could withstand more casualties than the northern captives, and the cavalry in front of them, said to be an army, was actually an armed herdsman.

"Third round, put!"

Li Shouxin was observing the situation of the enemy while also observing the situation on his own side, and when he saw that everyone had finished loading, he immediately waved the flag gun in his hand and ordered it to be released.

The sound of the bird bell sounded again, and in Li Shouxin's ears, the sound was not dull or too bursting, but had a cheerful music-like feeling.

As a captain of the Bird Flag, all his energy and energy were used in the team in front of him, and every gunshot, every downed Beilu was an affirmation of his achievements.

"Fourth round, put!"

The guns rang out again, but this time the Beiyu who swooped forward was already less than twenty paces away, and every hideous face could be seen very clearly, and after the fourth round of guns, a sharp copper whistle sounded, and each bird gun man raised his bird gun and began to retreat slightly next to the spear array.

With shields in their left hands, knives in their right, or boring handles in their hands, the Jumping Warriors formed an array of several mandarin duck squads to guard in front of the birds.

After retreating to the designated lot, all the Bird Guns begin to reload and reload.

The spear phalanx finally pressed up at this moment!

In front of the eyes of the Northern Cavalry, it seemed that there was an insurmountable Great Wall of steel all of a sudden!

Each pikeman is dressed in armor, holding a well-struck iron spear in his hand, compared to the kind of shoddy goods of the Ming army camp soldiers, the spears in the hands of the merchant soldiers are worth more than a dozen guns of the border army just like the head of the spear, plus the long gun body lengthened, the package, each spear is expensive.

Almost every pikeman has calluses on their mouths, and pikemen don't need to learn too many skills...... It's nothing more than blocking, stabbing, picking, shooting, and picking, the so-called many marksmanship of the Ming army that has been circulated in the Ming army, Zhang Han is not interested.

The most important thing is the queue, and the queue is the soul of the spear phalanx.

Dare to face the enemy, go forward, and pierce the throat of the enemy with the spear in his hand, this is what a pikeman should do!

The pikemen are training the array almost every day, whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, because the array is the soul of this class, like the pikemen of the Ming army are just placed in front of the formation to consume the enemy's cannon fodder, and the pikemen of the merchant soldiers all understand that no matter how well the bird guns fight, how majestic the soldiers look, how much money the cavalry and artillery spend, only they are the real core of this army, the bones that support the body, with them, this army can stand up!

"Brothers," Yang Sisun stood at the front of the array, looking at the Beiyu who were getting closer and closer, and said loudly: "The time has come to test us, whether we are men or bad seeds, fight this battle and show everyone." ”

"Kill!"

A column of more than 50 people, four columns in depth, and a small phalanx of less than 100 meters in front suddenly burst out with the most explosive power!

The black waves rushed towards the phalanx!

After all, the number of the northern captives is still too much, the artillery is still bombarding, and the bird-screws have also started a new round of shooting, but the chaos and casualties caused are not enough to shake the large formation of the northern captives, and there are still Su Nang and his henchmen in the middle of the northern captives, including the remnants of the armored soldiers, their will and determination to fight are much stronger than the herdsmen and horse thieves, they have formed a huge wave, and they are also like a wolf that pounces on the spear phalanx.

"Okay, rush forward, rush in, and this battle is over."

Su Nang's eyes were about to pop out, and the previous battles were different, this time he felt that the chance of victory and grasp were great, in order to win he led his remnants of the guards and armor soldiers together in the middle of the battle to rush forward, he watched the people around him fall off the horse one by one, some people avoided the middle did not dare to rush, took out the riding bow and scattered at will, no effect, the arrows clanged and fell on the armor of the opposite merchant soldiers, useless, only sparsely inserted in front of the battle on the soft turf, Each arrow was a mockery of the Mongols' bravery.

At least more than 200 years, the Mongols from the light cavalry harassment, heavy cavalry breakthrough tactics to only dare to light cavalry bow and arrow harassment, heavy cavalry has gone without a trace, so that the descendants think that the Mongols are "riding archery" to win the world, relying on the herdsmen-like light cavalry to shoot a few arrows to destroy Jin and Western Xia, all the way to Eastern Europe and West Asia, and finally to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, all the way to Vietnam, coveting Japan, such a great martial arts, is to rely on a group of herdsmen who can ride horses and shoot arrows?

The martial arts of the Mongols have always been obtained by real heavy cavalry!
