Give the dummy!

Before the battle, the Qing generals observed the formation of the Ming army, and immediately found that the right wing of the Gongyi battalion was relatively weak, compared with the left wing, the front of the right wing of the Ming army had fewer long weapons, most of them used single knives, and the terrain of the right wing was relatively broad, which was conducive to the deployment of the Qing army's offensive troops.

The right flank of the Ming army was weak, but he hit the left flank first, sending four hundred people to launch the first wave of attack, half temptation, half containment, like a seasoned boxer, the straight punch in front was just a false dangling, and the other fist hidden in the back was the real killing move.

To the delight of the Qing generals, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was worse than he imagined, and the Qing army's 400 people actually defeated the Ming army's 800 people.

Eight hundred people, this is the full force of the Qing army, the Qing army will be anxious to rescue Pizhen, there is no time to slowly maneuver around the Gongyi battalion, since the Ming army has found out the reality of the Ming army, he intends to defeat the Gongyi battalion in one fell swoop.

"Kill!"

The general of the Qing army shouted loudly, and pressed up with eight hundred green battalion soldiers, this green battalion soldiers have been in battle for a long time, the armor is distinct, and they have not yet engaged the Ming army, and the momentum is the first to take the lead.

There was a commotion in the front line of the right flank of the Ming army, and the soldiers raised their swords and guns to prepare for the battle, their expressions were a little stiff, they did not lack courage, but in the end, it was the first time to go into battle, and they were very nervous in the face of a strong enemy.

The Qing army pressed within thirty paces of the formation and suddenly stopped.

"Whoosh!"

The archers of the Qing army released arrows together, and the arrows in a row were shot at the Ming army, most of the Ming army had no armor, as long as the arrow was definitely injured, and some people were constantly injured to the point and fell to the ground and died.

Fight back!

The archers and musketeers of the Ming army had already prepared and immediately returned fire to the Qing army. The 100 archers and musketeers were all veterans and experienced soldiers, braving the rain of arrows to move forward as far as possible, and the archers attacked the back row of the Qing army by projectile, and the musketeers specialized in hitting the legs and feet of the Qing legion's players.

People on both sides continued to be shot by arrows, and the uncontrollable screams came and went, this was an unequal exchange, the Qing army with armor and shields was obviously superior, and the Ming army without armor and weapons was about to be unable to hold on.

Charge!

The Qing army seized the opportunity to rush into battle, and the regimental players were in front. The pikemen were behind, the archers threw at the rear of the Ming army, and the distance of dozens of steps was in a blink of an eye, and they crashed into the Ming army's formation, and the battlefield resounded with the sound of blade collision.

The Qing troops in the first row are all regimental players. A shield in one hand, a single knife in the other. Offensive and defensible. Behind him, there were pikemen to cooperate, and the Ming army auxiliaries who were killed retreated again and again.

The main task of the Ming army's auxiliaries is to carry grain and grass, the nine-foot spear is inconvenient to carry, the bulky shield is inconvenient to carry, and many auxiliaries are only equipped with a single knife and no shield, and the combat effectiveness is a grade lower. Many people have no armor, and their combat effectiveness is a grade lower, and they are stunned by the bows and arrows of the Qing army, and they will be lowered by another grade. Under the onslaught of the Qing army, the front of the right flank immediately collapsed......

In the battle on the left flank of the Ming army, the Gongyi battalion had the upper hand, after Wang Meng's cavalry joined the battle group, a charge pressed down more than 300 Qing troops, and the left flank rear of the auxiliary took the opportunity to stabilize its position, and the withdrawn left flank front team was also regrouping.

Hurry up and turn around to support!

With the command of Wang Kefan's military command banner, Wang Meng's cavalry rushed to the right flank again.

Outside the west gate of Pizhen is an open field, the official road of the west gate suddenly widens here, the formation of the Ming army is blocked in front of the intersection, there is a forest in front of the left wing, but the front of the right wing is an open space, the Qing army will take advantage of this open terrain, fully deploy the troops when rushing into formation, and defeat the right wing of the Ming army in one fell swoop.

However, this terrain is also suitable for cavalry charges.

A distance of a few hundred paces was just enough to raise the speed of the horse to the highest, and Wang Meng's cavalry arrived as soon as he said it, crashing into the Qing army like a whirlwind.

"This time it's for real!" The main general of the Qing army did not dare to slack off, and ordered again and again to prepare to meet the enemy, the archers blocked, the pikemen and the regimental players gathered the formation, raised their guns and shields to prepare to resist the impact of the cavalry, all the movements were so smooth, and the speed from attack to defense was amazingly fast, except for the small pigtail dragged behind the head, as if he had regained the demeanor of the Dashun army in a hundred battles.

But Wang Meng was faster than them.

Although there are only more than 100 people in this cavalry, they are all the personal soldiers around Wang Kefan, and they are the essence of thousands of people and horses in the Gongyi battalion.

What about group players? What about pikemen?

Their movements were still a little slower, and although they quickly closed together, they were not ready to meet the battle, and they were rushed away by Wang Meng's cavalry!

More than 100 war horses gathered together, the high-speed charge brought a huge impact, a Qing army who tried to resist raised a gun to stab, but the war horse of the Ming army collided with him with a full arms, the horse's hooves kicked on the body, and immediately the sound of bones shattering, his body flew out more than a dozen steps, fell to the ground and spit blood, and saw that he could not live.

When the formation of the Qing army opened, the cavalry of the Ming army did not continue to rush, but brandished the saber and harvested the lives of the Qing army.

Their first target was the archers of the Qing army, after the cavalry rushed to the front, the archers had no power to resist, they could only turn around and flee, the Ming cavalry trampled on their horses, slashed with swords, and the Qing archers who were killed scattered and fled, and the corpses were piled up.

The group players are also a good target, although their shields are strong, but after the horses' hooves kick up, the Qing army behind the shields can't bear such a huge impact, and even the shield belt people are kicked over, and the war horse is seriously injured immediately when it steps on it. After the speed of the Ming cavalry slowed down, they slashed around them condescendingly, and the regimental players of the Qing army were also stumped left and right, and they were cut down one after another.

The pikemen are a trouble, the speed of the Ming cavalry is slightly reduced, their spears exert their power, standing next to the Ming army from a distance to poke around, but also specifically aimed at the war horse without vest, fortunately, the formation of the Qing army has been messed up, the spear without cooperation is not a big threat, the Ming cavalry carefully avoid the spear of the oblique thorn, use the long-legged war horse to go around his front, a rush can knock him away.

The Qing army surrounded from all sides, Wang Meng whistled, more than 100 cavalry picked up speed again, rushed out towards the weak point of the Qing army, and turned back again a hundred paces away, increasing the speed of the horse to charge the battle for the second time.

Charge! Break the formation!

But compared with the first time, this time the charge was much harder, the Qing army's defense was more tight, when the Ming cavalry rushed into the formation, the Qing army's counterattack was more ferocious, Wang Meng did not dare to stay longer, rushed straight through the Qing army's formation, and chiseled the Qing army into a cross.

The trumpets in the Qing army formation were repeated, the order flag was waved, and the last three hundred reserves were also killed, and when Wang Mengdou came back to prepare for the third charge, these three hundred people had already set up a defensive formation to protect the Qing army brigade behind.

"Rush? Or not rushing? Wang Meng hesitated, the formation of the three hundred Qing troops was very tight, even if he rushed forward like this, even if he won, it would definitely be a tragic victory.

A crushing victory is like defeat, it is better to avoid war.

But if the cavalry avoids the battle, will the auxiliaries be able to withstand it?

He looked up at the Chinese army, and saw very clearly from the flag that Wang Kefan had already given the order to let the pro-soldiers retreat for the time being.

Not far from the Chinese army, the right flank rear of the auxiliary army and the Qing army have already engaged in battle, after the Qing army was frustrated, there was no sharp spirit that had just started the war, although the right flank rear of the auxiliary army was struggling, it could withstand it for the time being.

"Let's go!" Wang Meng no longer hesitated, and took his own team to move closer to the Chinese army, after continuous fighting, the war horse was also very tired, and it was beneficial to take a break to fight again......

The drums of war were like thunder, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the battle between the left and right flanks of the Ming army gradually became white-hot.

The Qing army hit people with two fists, and the Ming army could not afford to lose on both sides.

The pressure on the left wing was light, and Wang Kefan did not send more reinforcements, so that the withdrawn left wing front team went into battle again to support the left wing rear team.

The right flank was the main direction of attack of the Qing army, Wang Kefan led the Chinese army to personally support, and the archers and musketeers also went into battle together, leaving only the personal army as a reserve.

"Bang!" A puff of green smoke rose from the firecracker, and a Qing soldier fell in response.

Wang Kefan stood in the middle of the archers and the firecrackers, personally holding the firecrackers to shoot, the archers of the Qing army found him, "smack" shot several arrows, Wang Kefan raised his head and lowered his head, protecting the throat of the face, "Bang Bang" resisted this wave of arrows.

Although his golden lacquer mountain armor was given to Emperor Longwu, the armor on his body was not ordinary, and there was a pair of soft armor in it to protect the chest and abdomen, and the two layers of underwear were flexible silk, although there were several arrows inserted in his body, he was almost not injured.

"Bang!" Wang Kefan hit a Qing soldier again, the Qing army was shot in the stomach, fell to the ground but did not die for a while, rolling around and wailing, stirring his companions in a hurry, a Qing army general went up and raised his knife and fell, and hacked him directly to death.

"Firecracker!" Wang Kefan stretched out his hand and asked the auxiliary soldiers behind him for firearms, his marksmanship was the best, the shooting frequency was the fastest, and the auxiliaries used several firearms to take turns to reload before Wang Kefan could use them.

With the gun in his left hand and the pinto in his right hand, the butt of the gun resting on his shoulder, the three points form a stable plane, which is the standard rifle shooting posture, Wang Kefan aimed at the Qing general......

Forty paces away, another Qing general hid behind a banner, holding a two-stone bow with an iron-handled wolf's tooth arrow on the bowstring.

This wolf's tooth arrow is larger and heavier than ordinary bows and arrows, and the arrows are full of iron barbs, which cannot be pulled hard once they enter the flesh, and the shaft of the arrow is made of iron from head to tail, and the shaft of the arrow cannot be cut off after being hit.

What's even more strange is that this arrow is dirty, and there is a faint smell of fish, which has been soaked in poison and fecal filth before the expedition, and as long as the arrow is hit, it will cause Yan Zòng's wound to become infected.

The body of the Qing army general suddenly squatted back, fully pulled out the bow in his hand, and aimed at Wang Kefan...... (To be continued......)
