Although the plain is also a stage conducive to the galloping of cavalry, for the relatively complete arrangement, the most basic front and rear cover arrays of guns, soldiers, chariots and horses, artillery and cavalry, in fact, there is no longer any difference between the front, the rear and the flanks.

As the saying goes, the large phalanx with the battalion as the basic unit is encased in a small phalanx, and the small phalanx is hidden in a large number of horizontal formations, columns, and diagonal lines; The gap between the phalanxes constituted a channel for the movement of the clans and cavalry to attack and retreat; The vehicle-mounted artillery with clusters distributed in the four corners can provide point-and-face support and suppression within the visual range.

Therefore, in a strict sense, as long as there are sufficient preparations in advance, any contact surface facing the enemy can be turned into a frontal battlefield ready for battle.

The real weak link was the various auxiliary troops, artillery teams, and baggage chariots and horses that were surrounded inside the large array. However, if you want to threaten them, you can only go all out to open and consolidate a breakthrough from the outside, and there is not much opportunistic place for other things.

And compared with the strong teams of the Northern Army that they fought before, although these Humal seem to be more numerous, full of fighting will and aggressiveness, they cannot be compared in terms of endurance in continuous fighting and morale in long-term fighting.

Not to mention their messy "superiority" in organization and order, it is simply impossible to give full play to the overwhelming superiority of numbers in any one face.

The nomadic style and shortcomings of the so-called advance and retreat are once again exposed. The bright spots are undoubtedly a number of feudal armies mixed in.

Besides

The rest of the enemies, like waves of undulating sea, whether chaotic or turbulent, were inevitably shattered in the end in front of the embankment of solid and orderly firearms, knives and guns.

The stacked men and horses, even struggling to live and die in front of the formation, were piled up into a half-height slope, and people kept stepping on the corpses to rush up, and then suddenly rolled down, becoming an irregular slope, continuing to extend outward.

With the repeated attacks and impacts of the driving troops, to no avail, Xu Ran, who made the other party step by step, approached. The patience and will of these Saiwai clansmen who remained outside the city also reached a certain limit and critical point before the pressure of the strong enemy approaching step by step and gathering invisibly.

The big and small leaders who had not yet participated in the war, and the leaders of their respective clans, exchanged glances and thoughts over and over again, almost face to face.

After all, compared to before, for the sake of goods and materials in Xuzhou, he spared no effort to invest in the battle of capturing the city. Now they are here to use their own capital to fight hard against prepared strong enemies, which are completely different things.

Not all feudal families can accept the noble sentiments and great consciousness of others eating meat and gnawing bones by themselves, not to mention the reasons and motives for sacrificing the men and horses of their own domain in vain to cover and rescue the troops of other feudal clans.

You must know that before entering the customs, they were not a harmonious group, and many neighboring princes outside the Saiwai Dynasty had many contradictions and conflicts because of pastures, water sources, cattle and sheep that crossed the border, and also left a lot of grievances entangled for generations.

At present, they are only reluctantly coming together for the sake of a common goal and a large enough interest temptation, how can they be expected to be able to take advantage of the fire and make a wedding dress for the benefit and benefit of others......

Besides, if the strength of the family is too badly damaged here, then don't think about the life in the domain in the future, and those old and weak women and children who stay outside the fortress can only be left to be eaten by others. This is human nature.

In fact, several of them have already had weak forces and have already begun to retreat.

It's just that the most powerful Hongclan clan is still trying its best to restrain them, coercing and tempting them to make all kinds of promises and conditions, and continue to make some kind of effort to make them hold on a little longer, so as to get some kind of turnaround from the city.

In the fierce battle all over the field, the newly established straggler giant field regiment that had been established for several days was also fighting hard to support it

"Iron Bull, it's all up to you......"

Song Gongming, who was surrounded by the crowd, held a hand card and whispered encouragement.

"Is it to nibble on potatoes or eat porridge, or drink wine and eat meat......"

"Brother Gongming, I can ...... to myself"

Standing at the head of the row, Li Kui, who was holding a folding iron machete, nodded,

"Isn't it the seniority of the auxiliary army and the main battalion......

"Since my brother has a heart, I will naturally fight his mother"

As he responded, he slashed down with a quick swing of his eyes, and fell to the ground with a staggered ride, his blood-soaked horse's head almost snapping head-on.

Suddenly, the hot blood gushed out with a bang, and suddenly turned him into a bloody man.

He licked the warm and salty taste on the side of his mouth meaningfully, showed a certain satisfied smile, and suddenly frightened the surrounding Huma'er and took a few steps back.

"Who else ......"

He roared and took a few steps forward, glaring viciously at the dismounted Hu Mazi. They took a few steps back, and some of them screamed, and they turned and ran anyway, forgetting even their mounts where they were.

Then, I saw Li Kui suddenly slash his knife again like the wind, as if spinning over a huge iron fan on the whole page, not only fired several flying arrows, but also immediately cut off the two Hu Mazi who were close to the side, and almost fell to the ground in four sections.

Under the urging of Song Gongming, the foot soldiers behind him also suddenly shouted with great morale to keep up, and each raised their swords and spears to slash and slash, sweeping away these already frightened horses, even people and horses, and captured several well-saddled mounts.

Most of these stragglers in the Juye Regiment are with these two veterans who have received Juye City, but the experience of participating in this kind of battle formation is obviously zero, so when facing the enemy at the beginning, they can't help but be a little restrained, and there are many casualties.

It was thanks to the firearms support behind him and the several successions of friendly forces that he stabilized his position and slowly found his senses and played some experienced and skillful cooperation. However, because they have not been in the army for a long time, their morale and psychological quality are not stable enough. Therefore, thanks to a leader like Li Kui who is a pioneer and fights bravely to demonstrate, this can ensure a more lasting and high-spirited fighting spirit and momentum. "Don't stand out too much......"

Song Gongming shouted eagerly in the rear again

"Iron Bull hurry back and ......"

"Beware of the rear being truncated ......"

"We have to hold our positions on three sides."

"I won't be knocked apart by Huma's charge......"

On the platform in the big array, there were also people pointing out their small corner.

"This is a simplified variant of the Ancient Bagua Array,"

Zhu Wu, who praised the painting of the provisional army, also introduced it to me softly

"Defend as a four-dimensional elephant, attack as a four-dimensional ......"

"Before and after the alternation of long and short soldiers, the first soldiers and light soldiers are staggered inside and outside......"

"Even if it's a pawn of Kuragusa, he has the power to fight......"

Well, although I am quiet, I have to admit that as a counselor in military affairs, his attainments in traditional cold weapon tactics and military formations are a bit surprising.

It is also in vain that I took a number of fully armed stragglers and gave them as practical objects, and also provided them with the blueprints and principles of several kinds of foreign battle formations from ancient times to the present, such as Macedonian pike formations, Roman heavy infantry spear throwing sword and shield formations, Spanish large squares to Swiss small squares, etc., as a reference, so that they can summarize their advantages and disadvantages, and practice a suitable battle formation that is convenient for the main battle firearms troops.

The only requirement is that it is easy to operate and easy to use, so that in a short period of time, these traditional cold troops can form a combat force as a priority. After the initial formation of coordination and a sense of order, we can practice a more complex partial firearms mixed battle formation, or even a more complex all-firearms-cavalry-artillery-vehicle combined battle formation

In this way, it has already achieved initial results, as a filling force between the big battle arrays, even if it is a cold weapon unit like the stragglers, with the projection support of a large group of men and horses, it can still have full morale and confidence, and fight with the Nahuma rangers on the periphery, and the battle is impressive.

"Commander, please look at ......"

Zhu Wu suddenly reminded me that I had seen something in the direction he was pointing to after carefully observing it for a while with a near-hand mirror.

In the southeast corner, there has always been a group of men and horses, and they have left some strength to roam around the periphery, as if looking for some kind of flaw and gap. They were not equipped with bows and arrows like most horses, but they were relatively rare horses with felt blankets against arrows and simple armor in leather.

Therefore, their mounts are also taller and more muscular than the ordinary horses, and the cavalry still holds a round shield with skin in their hands, wears ring armor made of iron bars, and holds shaggy fur on their helmets, which looks particularly different.

In this way, it is obviously from the elite of a certain feudal army, just as I observed, this shrunken version of the armored cavalry suddenly accelerated to the east, like mercury pouring into the outer array, and suddenly quite forcefully rushed into a group of people on their backs, and after relying on the protection to kill through the cover of several small war groups, under the projectile shot that turned over, quickly raised the dust and retreated into the smoke and dust wrapped in those Humaer.

They were as skilful and precise as they were, and with sufficient speed and nimble maneuvering, the additional volley with the firearm had little effect on them, and they were left behind diagonally and calmly out of range.

Seeing this, I sighed again, even if I am skillful and skillful, the most standard flintlock pistol in the army, from reaction to firing, is still a final critical point. Obviously, the other party seized this frequency and interval, and the talent was bold enough to gallop across the country and rush forward to kill.

"Pass Me the Order"

I immediately shouted.

"The 1st Grenadier Brigade of the Pro-Straight Regiment, the 3rd Rapid Gun Brigade of the Pacesetter Regiment"

"Rush to the southeast corner now...... Standby ...... between the 4th and 6th battalions"

Compared with the flintlock pistol, which needs to rely on density and quantity to expand the lethality at a certain critical point, and the fire cap gun, which has a faster firing interval and response speed, it is still only a small batch of real equipment, which is also in my direct regiment and teaching team, and the pacesetter regiment, and then when needed, it is temporarily reinforced to other units that independently recognize combat missions.

"Where is the artillery regiment of Pharmacist Guo......"

"How much strength do the artillery groups have left, all of them are transferred to wait for the dispatch ......?"

"The Fifth Brigade of the Auxiliary Army was replaced...... The 7th, 11th, and 33rd Regiments of the Stragglers were temporarily replaced......"

I'm making a bet that the battlefield vision of that feudal army is far less open and convenient than mine, and they can only look for fighters in the chaotic formation of the wandering Humaer, so they will not give up so lightly, the temptation to change the formation to show weakness.

Of course, if the opponent's overall view and sense of smell on the battlefield are still relatively sharp and never fooled, I can only spend time with the other side, at least under the cover and rotation of the large formation, our army can hold on to the battlefield for a much longer than the other side.

And the other side is a cavalry in armor and heavy loads, and under the high-intensity galloping, it will definitely not hold out for the other Huma longer.

After a few attempts and contacts of small-scale shocks, my judgment seemed to have been fulfilled once again, and these feudal armoured cavalry, before they appeared to be visibly tired, seemed to have exhausted their patience and spare strength, and suddenly merged into a rolling iron stream, and in an instant the joint composed of several stragglers rushed and scattered in all directions.

Then, the armored cavalry, who had broken through in one go, ran head-on into the grenadiers and quick-gun teams hiding behind the queue, as well as the array of artillery carriages covering the flanks, and at this moment the smoke and dust that spewed up obscured my vision.

In the end, I saw only a small number of armored cavalry of the feudal army, and in the midst of the sound of rapid guns and cannons, and the incessant explosion of fire and smoke, the wolves rushed out unbearably.

Then he was driven to the nearby hunting camp, and cut off the waist of the half-way kill, and after the men and horses neighed and bit a large piece, they could only scatter as birds and beasts.

As a result, the Humaer, who were chasing and fighting nearby, were almost in an uproar, and there was a certain delay, stagnation, and confusion, which was obviously a big surprise to them.

This scene made me a little surprised, but also a little familiar, I couldn't help but move in my heart, and resolutely ordered

"The teaching team, the pacesetter regiment, and the car regiment are all on their horses and ready to attack......

"The 1st and 2nd battalions changed their formations in advance, and from the rear to a counterattack posture......"

"Artillery group, concentrate to the southeast."

"The stragglers on the periphery enter the free search mode......

"The auxiliary brigade that has not yet been engaged in the battle is shrinking and regrouping in place...... Complementary equipment"

"The key directions of the enemy's forces have appeared, ready to concentrate on breaking through ......"
