Wang Jiye was quite annoyed, but the Volunteers were different from other Ming armies, and the various brigades, squadrons, and squads were skillfully coordinated.

Let's start with the teams of each killer, at thirty paces away, the crossbowmen attack, the seven or eight wolf hands attack from a distance, the five or six steps of the palladium hand and the spearman attack, and at close range, the Wu Chang and the rattan player with steel knives in hand.

The Mandarin Duck Formation fully takes into account the requirements of long, medium and close range kills, and also fully protects the wolf players, boring palladium players, and spearmen through the rattan players.

Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese hero of the Ming Dynasty, also used the Mandarin Duck Array to achieve the proud record of killing more than 1,000 Japanese at the cost of killing three people. Although I don't know how to define zero casualties in ancient times, even in the previous life of the 21st century, the U.S. military, armed to the teeth, faced the armies of Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries, the casualty ratio could not be so large.

This is just the mandarin duck formation composed of the various killer squadrons, and the various bird squadrons behind are even more terrifying, everyone can not only release the guns from a distance, but also quickly put on the guns and fight in close combat after the enemy army is killed.

Yang Lin comes from a previous life, and of course he is not as good at assassination as people in this era, but even so, Yang Lin also has some ways to train everyone, that is, to emphasize team spirit.

When the Great Western Army rushed to the side, two strong and strong people often led two people to form a battle group and play the role of a surprise soldier, while the squad leader led the remaining five people to form a front and fight with the other party.

Although the soldiers of such a large Western army are brave, although some soldiers fight hard, but the equipment is too simple, once they cut it and cut it on the opponent's armor, although it splashes bursts of starlight, but the opponent is wearing leather armor and has a very good defense, and it is difficult to cause physical injury.

The other party often wields a weapon in front to attract his attention, while he is not paying attention, a soldier next to him rushes over from the flank, wielding a big knife to fight back and forth, because of the limitation of the body's defense, he is often injured when he is cut by the weapon.

The brave men of the Great Western Army were still so forced to retreat again and again, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, everyone panicked but often fought separately.

The Volunteers are different, whether it is the squadron of each killer or the various musket squads, they cooperate together, everyone supports each other and cooperates with each other.

In ancient times, cold weapon warfare was very particular about morale, if the morale of a unit was raised, the morale was often like a rainbow, and no one could stop the Buddha when he saw the Buddha kill the Buddha, mainly because everyone was driven by those brave men who dared to fight.

The Great Western Army fought mainly in this mode, but as the war progressed, the warriors of the Great Western Army who dared to fight continued to be injured, which seriously hit the morale of the Great Western Army.

And seeing the brave people around him constantly being slashed and killed, the soldiers of the Great Western Army around them were terrified one by one, and when they saw the volunteers rushing towards them, they didn't dare to fight at all.

Wang Jiye shouted loudly, forcing everyone not to retreat, and at the same time brandished a big knife to join the battle group, but the soldiers of the volunteer army still fought back and forth in front of the battle as if they had entered a no-man's land.

Wang Jiye was sweating, turned around and found Ma Yuanli, the governor of the left army, who was also supervising the formation behind him, and sighed: "Governor Zuo, today's battle is too mysterious. This volunteer formation looks like a mandarin duck formation, but it is not a mandarin duck formation.

Zuo Dudu, the volunteers are not only strong in firearms and crossbows, but also not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, how can such a strong enemy be good? ”

Ma Yuanli has followed Zhang Xianzhong to the world for decades, and he is also a well-informed person, and now when he heard Wang Jiye mention the Mandarin Duck Array, he frowned, quite disapproving, and laughed: "I think it is otherwise, the Volunteer Army pays too much attention to the formation, but its soldiers are not very old-fashioned in marksmanship, stick skills, and knife skills, compared to the world-famous Qi Family Army, compared to the Mandarin Duck Formation."

Although the volunteers are quite elite, they are all vain, and they are still inferior to the old Banzai Guards.

Besides, the other side is only more than 700 people, and our side is outnumbered, we can use the numerical advantage to win the battle. ”

Ma Yuanli immediately adjusted his tactics and ordered Wang Jiye to command all units to retreat gradually, widen the distance between the ranks of the killers of the Volunteers and the firearms squadrons, and then assault the firearms squadrons of the Volunteers.

In addition, Ma Yuanli sent two battalions of soldiers and horses to the left and right flanks, preparing to make a detour to the back of the volunteers to kill.

While Ma Yuanli was adjusting his troops, Yang Lin stood in a dense forest in front of the Dawang Temple, and from time to time he put up a pergola to watch the battlefield situation.

Seeing that the 3rd Battalion of Long Zhijiao and the 5th Battalion of Yang Bingyi killed more than 2,000 elite men of the Western Army on their backs, the six brigades of their troops were like six sharp knives, alternately covering and fighting.

Everyone smiled one by one, and some even suggested that Yang Lin launch a counterattack, and now there are two infantry battalions and two cavalry brigades, if they suddenly kill, the other party will definitely be difficult to parry.

But everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that in addition to the fact that the Great Western Army suffered a lot of casualties when it first met the enemy, it is now desperately trying to avoid our firearms team and our killer team, and its casualties have been reduced a lot.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and everyone looked quite proud.

Suddenly seeing that the situation on the battlefield had reversed, Ma Yuanli sent more than 1,000 infantry to the front to support, but also sent more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to the left in a vain attempt to outflank the volunteers in front.

Standing in the bushes behind him, he closely observed the enemy situation through the telescope from time to time, and saw that Ma Yuanli had done his best, if the plan succeeded, Ma Yuanli would inevitably lead the three hundred cavalry around him to rush over from the right.

Since the other party couldn't hold his breath and showed his hole cards, Yang Lin didn't want to hide it, in addition to transferring Yang Cheng's 1st battalion to the left to support, and leading the escort battalion to attack the enemy in front of him head-on.

Seeing two battalions of soldiers and horses killed again in the bushes in front of him, Ma Yuanli was quite shocked, and the intelligence showed that there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangru County, and what he saw in front of him was obviously wrong.

Despite this, Ma Yuanli is still full of confidence, he has been dominating the world for more than ten years, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, and besides, the strength of the 4,000 elite divisions of the Great Western Army is obviously several times that of the other party, and it can completely defeat the other party.

But just after the fight, Ma Yuanli was shocked, it stands to reason that the two sides of the volunteers fought for a long time, if the volunteers had a tiger squatting cannon, they should have used it a long time ago, who knew that the volunteers would use this killer weapon at a critical juncture.

The escort battalion suddenly came out, and Wang Gao, the captain of the escort group, rushed to the front with a tiger squat cannon, put it down on the hillside about 100 meters away from the front of the Great Western Army, loaded it with gunpowder and lead bullets, and then ignited it and fired it at the officers and men of the Great Western Army who rushed over.

The tiger squat cannon weighed about 36 catties, and the two soldiers didn't need much effort to carry it at all, and they ignited and fired it in a panic, and the lead burst out of the muzzle of the cannon and landed in the enemy bushes in front.

Although the lethality of the Tiger Squat Cannon is not great, its momentum is very amazing, especially when it fires scattered bullets, and shrapnel flies sideways in a radius of four or five meters, which is very terrifying.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the other party, Niu Dayong, Jing Keqin and others led various brigades to rush over, and when the two sides were sixty paces apart, they suddenly stopped, and with an order, the musketeers in front knelt on the ground on one leg, raised their guns to aim, and fired at the panicked rogues nearby.

Even during World War II, it was difficult to suppress the crowd that charged over with a rifle, not to mention that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although the firearms were very powerful, but the loading was very cumbersome.

Seeing that the rogue rushed to thirty or forty paces, the crossbowmen of the various killer teams raised their crossbows one after another to shoot, and the crossbow fired several times faster than the bird's gun, and after several rounds of continuous shooting, the front fell again.

Suddenly, with the assistance of the escort battalion, the morale of all units of the front-line volunteers was greatly boosted, and everyone returned to direct under the command of the general and brigade commanders, and then used the escort should be used as a sharp knife, and constantly rushed to the Great Western Army, which had an absolute superiority in numbers.

Seeing that the front line will collapse again, Ma Yuanli and Wang Jiye rushed to the front, and under their encouragement, the morale of the Daxi Army recovered slightly, although most of the front fell in front, but under the strict supervision of Ma Yuanli and Wang Jiye, they still swarmed up, in a vain attempt to rely on the numerical advantage to defeat the current volunteer army and regain firm control of the battlefield situation.

The number of people on both sides at the front of the battlefield gathered more and more, and seeing that the two sides resumed stalemate again, at this moment, Yang Fuquan waved his hand, and several people rushed out of each musket squadron, and they rushed to the back of each killer team with a wooden barrel in twos and threes to stop.

The escort battalion is the elite of the army, each brigade has two firearms squadrons and a killer squadron, each firearms squadron is lined up in three rows, the front row is kneeling on one leg to aim and shoot, the middle row is half-squatting to aim and shoot, and the rear row is standing to aim and shoot.

Quickly opening the barrel, these grenadiers suddenly took out the Earthquake Thunder, pulled out the bamboo pipe that protected the fire rope, lit the fire rope, and then held the wooden handle of the Sky Shaking Thunder (improved type) in their right hand, and when the fire rope was about to burn out, they suddenly threw the Sky Shock Thunder into the crowd in front of them.

Although it is very unsuitable for throwing like throwing a shot put, this is not difficult at all for Yang Lin of the Crossing Clan, in the previous life, children in the market knew grenades, and they only needed to install a wooden handle on the outside of the iron ball.

The wooden handle is cast together with a hollow iron ball, and 3-5 days before use, it is filled with coarse gunpowder (for explosion) and a fire rope, and a small bamboo pipe is inserted outside to prevent moisture.

Compared with throwing iron balls, the earth-shaking thunder equipped with a wooden handle is not only easy to hold and throw, but also throws far (the grenade tactic is 30 meters, here it is 20 meters) and throws accurately (carefully selected elite), the earth-shaking thunder falls on the ground and explodes, its lethality is far more than the scattered bombs or other solid shells fired by the tiger squat cannon (the solid cannonball completely relies on the inertia of the cannon to eject the breech, and does not explode for the second time, while the earth-shaking thunder is different, it explodes after landing, and the half-pound gunpowder explodes through the iron ball fragments and flies around).

All of a sudden, the earth-shattering thunder continued to fall into the enemy bushes like raindrops, and the explosions came and went, and taking this opportunity, the volunteers counterattacked on all fronts, and suddenly suffered such a change, and the officers and men of the Great Western Army who were fighting panicked one by one, and some even hugged their heads and ran away.

Ma Yuanli was stunned, originally thought that Yang Lin did not have any army around him, but he did not expect that Yang Lin did not care about the safety of the direction of Yunshan Ancient City, not only transferred the Dragon Frame Battalion to Xiangru County, but also ambushed more than 1,000 people in the woods.

In addition, what is even more fatal is that at the end, Yang Lin suddenly used his housekeeping skills - tiger squat cannon, earth-shaking thunder, especially this earth-shaking thunder, not only threw far away (improved with wooden handles), but also threw accurately (the elite selected by each squadron).

Under the onslaught of the Volunteers, the Great Western Army was routed on all fronts.

Ma Yuanli personally led the cavalry to break off, but was still defeated by the volunteers, and was killed and retreated for more than ten miles, until he joined forces with Chen Yingrui, Feng Youqing and other troops before regaining his position.

Seeing the defeat of the Great Western Army, Yang Lin did not dare to chase after him, Mingjin withdrew his troops, cleaned up the battlefield, and slowly withdrew the battalions to the county seat before dark.

In the face of the elite of the Great Western Army, under the condition that the strength was at an absolute disadvantage, the Volunteer Army won the victory of killing more than 400 people and capturing more than 100 people at the huge cost of killing more than 80 people and wounding more than 200 people.

Looking at the wheelbarrows carrying the corpses of the fallen soldiers passing by one by one, Yang Lin felt that his heart was dripping blood, he originally thought that the volunteers had been equipped with a large number of firearms, and the sudden use of earth-shattering thunder could destroy them on the battlefield, but he didn't expect the casualties to be so huge.

The people next to him didn't think so, Long Zhijiao waved his fists, happily thinking that after this defeat, Ma Yuanli would inevitably be honest and would inevitably roll back to Shunqing Mansion City obediently.
