Chapter 317: The general soldier beats the drum, and he is overcome
Under a simple visual inspection, most people can judge that the standard spear in their hands is much shorter than the opponent's weapon, plus the camp is just a chaotic rush, and the Ming army is a rigorous phalanx, no wonder it is just a face-to-face rout.
Everyone clearly understands that if they are stupid and hedge against the other party's fully armored officers and soldiers, they can only be stabbed to death, not to mention, they have never seen what kind of thing the other party is holding in their hands.
The soldiers of the Shandong army and the rogues were closely lined up in a straight line after the battle, and at this time, the shouting of the officers in the distance could not be heard, and everyone just shouted and sent the axes and guns in their hands according to the rhythm.
In such shouts and footsteps, the conical axe and gun formation of the Shandong army strode forward, unstoppable, and there were still some crazy rogues, but after the battle, they found that the weapons in their hands were completely useless.
At this moment, the Ming army suddenly changed formation.
The axe spearmen on both sides increased their speed to advance, while the foot soldiers in the middle slowed down, only delivering the axe spear in their hands faster, and gradually, it actually changed from a cone formation to a round of crescent moon.
The rogues watched each other rush in front of them, and they had already collapsed all at once, and their instinctive reaction was to flee in all directions, because if you reacted slowly, then there was no chance of survival.
"It's not good, the thieves and soldiers want to surround it!"
Suddenly, Song Xiance in the rear exclaimed.
The Ming army in front of him is not only different from ordinary officers and soldiers, but even its combat effectiveness is the difference between heaven and earth, and the three battalions, that is, the strength of more than 3,000 people, actually defeated the tens of thousands of people who broke into the camp head-on.
Moreover, this kind of rout is not after a long period of anxiety, but the rout of the army has begun to rout after a contact, and by now, the reaction of the other party seems to have explained a problem.
The Shandong Army changed the offensive formation into a meniscus-shaped forward pressure formation, and it seemed that it was already preparing to gather and annihilate the rogues who were still resisting.
After thinking about it, Song Xiance couldn't believe it, in such an absolutely inferior situation, he could still use such a step-by-step method, so where is Wang Zheng sacred, and how did he train such a strong army.
The two sides fighting in front of them seemed to be fierce, but in fact, both Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing understood that the refugee camp in front of them could no longer resist the offensive of the Shandong army, and the gap was too big.
At this time, I saw Wang Zheng, who was in the Chinese army, turn over and dismount, put the knife in the hands of the guards around him, picked up the sledgehammer, and began to personally cheer for the drums of the three armies.
"Boom—"
The drum was not loud, but it was very rhythmic, and it was like thunder in the hearts of every foot soldier who was fighting, Huang Yang was excited, and immediately raised his knife and shouted:
"Shandong Army, kill!!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, raised their axes and guns, and followed their respective officers to rush outward, the crescent-shaped array was slowly shrinking, and the axe and gunners on all sides worked together, and the living space of the most central rogues was getting narrower and narrower.
At the same time, the fierce battle between the two horse teams has entered the white heat.
"Dog officer, you're coming at me!"
Seeing that the Ming general named Quan Zhuo slashed at the brother of the old camp horse team, Li Guo's heart was dripping blood after seeing it, because he found that the speed at which he killed the cavalry of the Shandong Army was completely inferior to the speed at which the other party tortured and killed his old camp horse team.
Often when Li Guo killed a cavalryman of the Shandong Army, there were basically three people in the old battalion who were cut off by the other party, and these people were all old poles who had followed him from the Rongyang Conference!
Li Guo's eyes were red, and he frantically urged the horses to rush towards the Ming general, and swung a knife at his back.
"Qiang~"
Quan Zhuo suddenly turned around, the steel knife was firmly blocked in front of Li Guo's eyes, and his face showed a look that you are finally here, and said with a vicious smile:
"Lao Tzu is waiting for you, Li Guo, today's leader, our cavalry battalion, picked !!"
Li Guo saw the other party's rising madness, and the next moment he was actually a little stunned.
However, he quickly put this idea out of his head, thinking that he Li Guo followed King Chuang to fight in the north and south, how could he have been afraid of anyone, the Ming army has always fled, otherwise there would not be such a fierce title as "a tiger".
"Pick the top!!"
At this time, the cavalry of the opposing side somehow, after the exhaustion of the battle, plucked up their strength again, raised their swords and guns and shouted.
"Thief officers and soldiers, suffer death!"
......
"Whoever kills Shangcheng first, Ben will definitely give the commander and let him take the lead in this battle!"
Dong Youyin brandished the silver knife and shouted out this sentence loudly.
The first merit of attacking the city, such a feat may not be obvious in the rest of the Ming army, but in the Shandong army, it is enough to change a person's fate from now on.
The Shandong army is well known to all the martial artists, and the army is judged by military merits, and rewarded by military merits, and the number of military exploits is directly related to the honor and disgrace of each person, so every soldier who hears it is more excited.
However, this seems to be useless, the soldiers rushed left and right, and people on both sides were crowded at the city gate, and the army could not get out, but the Shandong army could not enter for a while.
"No, if you go on like this, you will be dragged to death sooner or later!"
Dong Youyin angrily kicked towards a dead tree, thought about it, but suddenly raised his hand and ordered to retreat.
The soldiers of the Shandong army had trained many times for the situation in front of them, and it didn't take long for them to retreat out of the city in an orderly manner.
When the Tiger Gunners in the front row heard this, they immediately stood in place, then turned around, and the Tiger Gunners in the rear team drew their axes and spears and turned into the front team, quickly forming a thinner cone formation outside the city gate.
In fact, this cone formation is to put it bluntly, it is an awl composed of axe gunners in the rear team, this awl can just be inserted through the city gate, and the original sword and spearmen who fought at the front are all following behind, waiting for the opportunity to fight while trimming.
Dong Youyin was also ready to fight hard, he raised his steel knife and walked to the front of the formation, shouting:
"Take Tongxu County, take Tongxu County!!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The soldiers armed with axes and guns shouted in an orderly manner, and rushed back in great strides.
Seeing that the tip of the other party's weapon was getting closer and closer, even Hao Shaoqi, who was at the city gate, couldn't help but muttered to himself in his heart, what the hell is this thing, can he stop it?
In fact, just after the other party retreated, Hao Shaoqi thought that the officers and soldiers could not resist and dispersed, because who dared to order a retreat at such an anxious time would be the whole army to disperse if he was not careful.
But no one thought that the Shandong Army would be able to form another formation so smoothly when the retreat was completed, and there was no panic at all.
"Don't mess around! Don't mess around!! ”
Hao Shaoqi couldn't be surprised, and constantly maintained the order of the army at the city gate.
To say that in the current Ming army, that is, the Shandong army, can really adapt to the battlefield, there is no shortcut to this kind of improvisation, and only several years of hard work and training can be had.
And this skill has played a very significant role on the battlefield.
Originally, the two parties were glued together at the city gate, but Dong Youyin suddenly led the Shandong army to retreat and separate, followed by turning around and forming a new formation to attack, and when the Shandong army took a step, the Liukou was still at a loss and messed up.
When we separated from the Shandong army just now, a gap inexorably appeared at the city gate, which was nothing, because if it was a well-trained army like the Shandong army, it would soon be able to fill the gap.
Unfortunately, Raid is not such an army.
Dong Youyin personally led the last wave of charge, and the opening just now was directly broken, and the soldiers of the Shandong army swarmed into the city from there.
The awl formed by the axe gunners did not stop at all, and in the close combat, the rogues who were still at the city gate turned into a miserable corpse in the blink of an eye.
The result of facing the Shandong army axe gun array has been confirmed by countless hand-to-hand encounters, and in the end it can only be defeated or die there.
The soldiers of the Shandong Army were all shoulder to shoulder, almost striding forward next to each other.
Not to mention the uneven quality and equipment of the face-to-face rogues, even if they are well-armed and skilled in fists and feet, how can they guard against spears and sharp axes attacking from all directions in the chaos of the army?
