Shunming Chapter 506 The battlefield changes dramatically like a routhole (ask for a monthly ticket)

The warriors who were present could not feel any change. Several infantry in Shandong were not scattered.

But Li Zicheng, who was in the position of watching the formation, could see that Shandong's front was dented. If a little force is applied. You can open up this formation.

The eight infantry regiments in front were defeated. It was only to break up one-third of the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion on this battlefield. There are also a large number of musketeers and a phalanx of spears with a solid formation. It's really hard to say that I haven't had such a chance to strangle and melee combat.

If only there could be a way. There is a whole work done in one fell swoop. That's the full plan. There is such an opportunity in front of us.

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was a little wet when he grabbed the reins. Just about to order. But from the banner and order, it can be seen that the general in front of him, Liu Zongmin, has already given an order.

Since there is on. Then you have to draw out a concentrated attack. Break that point. Li Zicheng thought of this. Liu Zongmin also thought of this.

The spears of the soldiers in the first few rows of the Jiaozhou battalion could not be flattened. Yuan Zongdi's soldiers were not so unacceptable to accept the casualties that rushed to the front of them.

Enemies in front of you are obscured. The spears in the back row were piercing. And in close combat. The sword and axe in his hand are compared with the saber of the Shandong soldiers. And it doesn't hurt much.

The regimental garrisons of the 4th and 5th regiments were all eyes. Such a fight. It was a great opportunity to make a difference. If people are all killing enemies and making meritorious contributions. but he was scattered by the thieves' soldiers. What will your future look like? It's dark just to think about.

"Brethren. Pull away from the thieves in front. Move away from it. They pushed back ......"

Shouting is so shouting. I watched my comrades in front of me screaming and falling down one by one. The spearmen in the back were also anxious to follow the gap between the people. Regardless of the recklessness of poking the spear over.

Every move. One of them screamed and fell, and now the front was crowded. Man to man. There is no need to worry about falling short. The only thing to worry about is whether to kill a companion or a teammate.

This is a hands-on action that does not care about it. The front was quickly cleared out of a space. But this space will not last long, because many soldiers of the Shun army are concentrated in this direction. Prepare to continue the assault.

The Shun army also has a way to use the corpse as a cover first. Push in front of the other person. Then a melee assault. Fight with a short weapon.

At present, the situation on the battlefield has changed subtly, and the Shun army has found a possible breakthrough in the middle of the engaged front. Constantly pumping and devoting efforts to this point.

The two regiments kept retreating. The remaining six regiments on both sides were constantly drawn because of the strength of the Shun army. The enemy becomes weaker. So the battle that had just been stalemate began to change again. The wings kept moving forward. The center gradually recess. The arc of the formation is getting more and more curved.

The garrisons of the 4th and 5th regiments fought bloodily on the front line with axes and guns. Almost at the same time, they were all given orders from the messenger behind them.

In such a fierce battle, orders were transmitted from the commander to the level of the regimental garrison. The messenger of the herald takes a great deal of risk. It's almost a hand-to-hand combat. However, the messenger of the herald is also an elite warrior himself. They got the order on.

The order from the commander reached the eight regimental garrisons on the front line. This order relieved some people, but made others feel quite resentful.

The drums and trumpets of all regiments were sounded in order, except for the fourth and fifth regiments. The rest of the infantry stopped advancing, but were in place. This relieved the infantry of the Shun army on the opposite side, but fortunately, the hands and bird soldiers of the Shun army were not transferred to the center. It is to consume most of it in the first wave of attacks.

The Jiaozhou battalion came to a sudden halt. The wing's Shunjun foot soldiers are also timely recovery of the entire team of soldiers and horses. It's just a confrontation with the Shun army. The orders that were sounded by the various infantry regiments were not unanimous.

The assault team commanded by Yuan Zongdi was repelled by the attack of the two regiments in the middle of the Jiaozhou battalion without distinguishing between the enemy and us for some distance. Then it was swift again.

What made Yuan Zongdi feel celebrated. The Shandong soldiers and horses on the opposite side actually hesitated when the drums and trumpets sounded. The space that had been cleared was of no use. It was quickly made up by the later people.

The infantry of the Shun army, which immediately rushed up, beat the soldiers of the fourth and fifth regiments back step by step. Even the resistance was not so violent.

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, saw the changes in the battle situation below. One by one, he came out. The cavalry brigade behind him began to slowly assemble in a group. There were also heralds who hurriedly ran to Liu Zongmin's side. The foot soldiers who stood in front of the Shunjun horse team began to slowly dodge from the sides.

The sudden halt of the spear phalanx of the Jiaozhou battalion. Let the soldiers of the Shun army finally breathe down. Since you can fight like this in the middle. The two sides are also in the same way.

The generals urged layer by layer. The soldiers also gained some confidence. This time it was they who took the initiative to pounce on the infantry array of the Jiaozhou battalion. Sometime the tide of the war began to change. No one knows what happened.

It's not just the two regiments in the middle that are retreating. Even the regiments on the edge of these two regiments were being beaten back. The only thing that can hold on is to have a group on the left and right sides.

Look at it from afar. The brigade on the gentle slope parted to both sides like a tide. Cavalrymen dressed as generals galloped and shouted in the horse caravan. A group of horses that had just scattered began to get in order.

And on the Jiaozhou battalion side. Except for the two sides, this side does not move. The four regiments in the middle were all beaten and retreated step by step. It's about to be opened.

They had just withdrawn from the first column, but the musketeers did not come forward to support. Instead, in the rear of the first column began to line up. In the second row, the eight regiments of musketeers also stepped forward to converge.

Between the hard battles at the front and the sixteen regiments at the rear. Sixteen regiments of all the firecrackers. A total of 6,400 men were on standby.

For this change. But the people of the mountains could not see very clearly. They can only judge that the Shandong soldiers and horses made an adjustment in order to change the disjointed state of the sixteen regiments.

"Great. The order has already arrived. It is now being executed. ”

Li Meng shielded himself from the sunlight with his hands. looked at Li Zicheng's banner in the distance. Hear the news of the pro-soldiers. He smiled and said:

"I guess this Li Yi's chance has arrived."

Yuan Shizhong, a guerrilla in northern Henan who had just followed the three regiments to the position of Shuai Qi, said with some trepidation:

"Great. What the thief is preparing for is to be entangled and tired. Recuperate the horse team. Breaking through the first few regiments of our army is already unbearable. Please send troops to the front to support. “

Li Meng put down his hand. glanced at Yuan Shizhong on the side. I know that the leader of this little Yuan camp has been surrendered since he was recruited. There is no chance of meritorious service. This big battle is that he showed extreme eagerness and initiative everywhere.

The situation at hand. I don't look at it much, because of a little negligence. Captured by the Shun army. And put in the effort to turn the negligence of the = East Soldiers and Horses into the current retreat. This situation on many battlefields is already very revealing. If it goes on like this. I'm afraid it's about to turn from a retreat to a big rout. Sixteen thousand foot soldiers in front. Scattered by the horse team. It was a disaster.

The horse caravan drove the chaotic foot soldiers. Then it will continue to disrupt the relatively well-organized formation behind it. What followed was a complete rout.

This judgment is correct. However, no one realized that this era had changed, and the Jiaozhou battalion was at the forefront of the times in the East.

"Yuan guerrilla. Don't worry. These three regiments are for you. But it's not to plug the mistakes and omissions of the frontal battlefield. The rate is immediate. Go to the left flank of the Shun army, avoid his soldiers and horses, and go far away. The deputy commander of the artillery team will accompany you with thirty guns. ”

Li Zicheng's 100,000 soldiers and horses formed a large group in front of them, trying to avoid the resistance of the soldiers and horses to the left flank. It is also necessary to take a long detour. Then these three regiments basically did not participate in the battle. Even the use of a containment is limited. It's a long way off. I'm afraid the artillery won't be able to hit that side either. Yuan Shizhong didn't understand this order anyway.

Northern Henan guerrilla Yuan Shizhong mentality and others do not. He is a general, after all. Be more cautious and cautious. Hear the boss's order. It's just a depressed acceptance.

Yuan Shizhong went to gather troops. Li Meng shook the reins in his hand. Talking to himself:

"People who can't keep up with this era. Sooner or later, this era will be eliminated. “

After all that is said. The voice of the voice commanded:

"The detachments of the soldiers go with me. Fifteen three-pounder guns in front of the formation also followed. ”

The 800 soldiers who were still shooting just now hurriedly mounted their horses in a whole group. The artillery on the side also brought in horses. Put the artillery on the gun carriage.

"Guo Liang. The rest of the infantry regiment will be here at once. Defend your artillery emplacement. Be ready to switch formations at any time. ”

Guo Liang, the commander of the artillery team, hurriedly marched and saluted to receive the order. Those who were transferred were regimental three-pounder field guns. And what remained in the artillery array were powerful guns of high caliber. Guo Liang is not afraid.

Just watch the soldiers of the pro-soldier brigade begin to arrange the whole team. The handsome flag is the heart of an army. Do not move lightly. The handsome flag also belongs to the commander and the brass trumpet. I want to move. It's not too easy.

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, watched the movement of the enemy army. Several actions of Shandong soldiers and horses made him very incomprehensible. This is the time of the great war of life and death. Any change is related to victory or defeat. There must be a reason for him. But no matter what, he can't see the reason for the transfer of Qi Guogong.

"It's just that there are fewer fights. I don't have a clear grasp of what is going on on the battlefield. ”

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, had this idea. But he didn't quite believe it himself. But no matter what. The arrangement in front of the formation. It can be achieved in this moment.

He turned his head and said in a deep voice to Li Shuangxi, the leader of the guard:

"Double happiness. You go and get three thousand old foot soldiers. Follow Yuan Zongdi's side. We must beat this reckless front to open the way for the Ma army. This is important. Do you understand? ”

Li Shuangxi, the leader of the guards, cried for Li Laiheng's death in battle, and his eyes were red. Hear the order of King Chuang. He nodded heavily on the horse and said:

"Please rest assured. Double happiness if you can't do it. Cut off your own head and come to you. ”

The front of the Jiaozhou battalion at the forefront became more and more unbearable. The four regiments in the middle retreated step by step. Even the formation of the phalanx could not be maintained.

However, the Shun army followed Yuan Zongdi and Liu Zongmin. Even Li Shuangxi, who has just been put into the battlefield. They were all very impressed by the morale and battle of the foot soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion. It's so resilient. The soldiers and horses of the Shun army organized one attack after another. But he only rushed the other party back step by step. but did not break up.

It's a pity that Li Meng, the god of Qi who was rumored to be a god before, is too useless. The command of the battlefield is so absurd. That's when you get the head start. The opportunity was seized by the Shun army.

By the time Li Shuangxi led the elite of the old battalion to rush over, the third to sixth regiments were indeed unable to resist. 1st Regiment, 2nd Regiment and 7th Regiment. On both sides, although they did not move, they were afraid of being disconnected from friendly forces. Don't dare to move forward, so stupidly stay in front.

The Shun soldiers who rushed to the front were in a fierce battle. But there are also people who feel the troops. Because the various teams of Shandong soldiers and horses are always retreating. The rhythm of the trumpets and drums has always been sounded despite the time of the army and the battle. The tempo has changed a lot.

"I'm going to open the big old brother with me......"

Li Shuangxi held a soldier in his hand. He said with a shout. He led more than 3,000 soldiers and horses. Most of them are the core of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and the old brothers are the most combat-effective and powerful troops in the entire Shun army. Have them joined. Shandong already has troops that can't support it, and it can't withstand it.

Morale is boosted by constant changes in the situation. The morale of the Shun army is getting higher and higher in the continuous advancement. Relative. Shandong's soldiers and horses are getting lower and lower.

Suddenly. The shrill glissandode of the brass trumpet could be heard by almost everyone on the battlefield. It looks like a trumpeter is playing out of fear.

among infantry regiments. Flag bearers, drummers, and trumpeters were all non-commissioned officers, although they were not involved in the battle. But he has a more important job than the soldiers. They are the brains and senses of this regiment. No cloth command.

And the flag-bearer, drummer, and hand did not have a chance to hold. When fighting, you need to rely on your teammates to cover yourself. It takes a lot of courage to face the enemy's attack without concealment.

Such a courageous person should be afraid, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, and as soon as the glissanda of the brass horn blew, he saw several regiments running towards the back with flags waving.

Flag for the general. The flag moves. Hands are all flags to run. Not to mention the soldiers.

Although Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, who was watching the battle, did not know the establishment and signals of the various infantry regiments in Shandong. But he also knew that the infantry of the Jiaozhou battalion under the mountain was about to collapse.

He shouted:

"The whole army of horses is out. Defeat the thieves in front of the non-stop. Sustained forward rush. Until the whole army of thieves is ......"

Break into the life of King Li Zicheng

Reach. The banner behind him shook violently. It has been a big knock of silence. Like thunder.

See the flag. Hear the drums. The Shun army began at the beginning of the war. The cavalry and horses, which had been pressed behind the infantry formation, finally moved.

In front, Liu Zongmin had already ordered the foot soldiers to spread out to both sides. It is already a way to get out. Opposite this road were the four regiments of the Jiaozhou battalion.

It's already been dented over there. At this time, the Jiaozhou battalion formation was collapsing. With the collapse of the Jiaozhou battalion. The infantry of the Shun army also scattered to both sides with him. Because the horse team is coming.

It's different from the shelling that suddenly exploded just now. It is not realistic for the cavalry of the Shun army to want to pour out of the nest in an instant. The front team moves first. The rear team followed. until the whole army followed suit.

At first, it was a bit noisy. And then the face will shake. The side where the Shun army was located was originally a gentle slope. But at this moment, it was as if the entire slope had collapsed. The whole landslide cracked.

Li Zicheng was at the right end, watching his troops rush down like a tide. It started with his rebellion. The exile army of its own fire and. and the Ming army's previous wars. Li Zicheng has never used such great power. He believed that no army would be able to stop him.

This battle. And so it won. Liu Fangliang, Liu Tichunjin, Li Laiheng, the deaths of these people are meaningful. King Li Zicheng felt a little relaxed.

But all of a sudden, he wasn't right. What King Chuang saw was the left flank of the first front of the Jiaozhou battalion. The two regiments that broke up on the left flank were not scattered. There were also no soldiers running around. Although the whole formation has been completely dispersed

But the standard-bearer did not drop the flag. The standard-bearers only ran behind the two regiments that did not break at one end of the line. And it's standing on a corner.

The flag seems to have an endpoint. The scattered soldiers quickly lined up with this endpoint as a benchmark. This was true of the two regiments that had just run. The soldiers were in position as fast as they ran. The cavalry was surging down. cut off the line of sight of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, looking there. But he estimated. I'm afraid it's the same over there.

The current Shandong formation is equivalent to dismantling the long formation of eight regiments lined up. Turned into two large phalanxes. Each Dafang is made up of four regiments, leaving a very large gap in the middle. What the hell is going on.?

King Li Zicheng was worried. But now the horses have opened the floodgates. Or to overwhelm everything. Or maybe it's a dike. The person who opened the floodgates was already unable to stop it.

How did Shandong train this army of soldiers and horses, but they could also gather and disperse like usual in the battle array. Even if it's the guards around you, if you transfer it like this. I'm afraid it's going to be scattered.

The situation is dire. Li Zicheng, who was watching the battle on the top of the mountain, felt this emotion in his heart. The slight confusion of the other party may have been caused by the impact of the soldiers and horses on his side, but the next rout and retreat may not be his own continuous investment. It's the other party who takes the initiative to do so.

Can this arrangement. Does it do anything. Li Zicheng is still not understood. Could it be that with that little force between the two fronts? The impact of tens of thousands of horse teams. There's nothing else that can't be opened.

A phalanx of spears of sixteen hundred people. Despite the losses in the battles of the squares. But there was no injury to the muscles and bones, and the four phalanxes were divided into one corner. A large square team of more than 6,000 people was formed.

Each phalanx is self-contained. But they support each other. This is almost the "Wanquan Great Array" that appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time in the book of war.

The trumpeters and drummers were in safe positions in the center of the four phalanxes. After a little respite. Together, there was a rhythmic signal

There are two of the four regiments: the outer sides are exposed, and these sides are deficient in the inner soldiers, and the sides of the large phalanx are quickly made up and thick.

Wait until the four sides of the entire large phalanx are intact and thick. All the soldiers on the outside turned in unison and leaned forward in the first row outside. One foot forward. The other foot stepped on the tail end of the spear. The spear is also pointed diagonally upward. The back rows are stretched out in turn. Now the tactics of the large phalanx are exactly the state of rejection of the tactics of the infantry regiment.

On the battlefield. The first front of Shandong soldiers and horses. It has already become two large phalanxes. Two massive spikes of steel. Do not shake.

The horse team that rushed down from the mountain would not stupidly ram into the infantry formation in a state of rejection. Leading this brigade of cavalry was Tamihide.

Seeing that the foot soldiers who had collapsed were turning into hedgehogs that could not be impacted in front of their eyes. Tian Jianxiu immediately gave up the idea of defeating the first front. Now I can only lead the people and horses forward. Break down the thousands of soldiers behind and those who are even behind.

The infantry field of the Shun army, which had just fought hard there, was not much better than dying in battle. Such a big horse team action. It is impossible to stop to avoid your companions. They can only dodge in both directions. Or by chasing and killing = the action of the East Router, the cavalry of the flash team.

But the Jiaozhou battalion foot soldiers broke up suddenly. They all knew that the cavalry behind them was coming. The anxious thing is to dodge quickly. And not war.

Wait for them to flash to the edge together. When the reaction comes to an end. The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion have already completed the formation. Facing them was already a cold light and a sensen's spear. This phalanx can no longer be broken through.

The path for the Shunjun infantry to dodge is also limited. The middle of the separated Jiaozhou battalion infantry formation has already given up enough space. On both sides is a jungle of steel thorns. It seems that the area where the cavalry charge has been restricted.

Tian Jianxiu, the general who led the charge, felt a chill in his heart. Who wants not to rush. He was to be trampled to death by the horses of the rear team. But if it's rushing. This seemingly smooth avenue is the avenue left for them by the Jiaozhou camp. At the end of the avenue is a seemingly thin group of more than 6,000 Shandong soldiers and horses.

Now what. If you stop. If you retreat. Shandong soldiers and horses will inevitably follow. What can be done. I rush over to one of the things I can do.

The firefighters in front of them were already lined up in a row of nine hundred people. There are a total of six rows of large flat horizontal columns. All the taxis had already put up their firearms. Waiting for the cavalry of the Shun army, which was rushing over.

A brigade of tens of thousands of elite horsemen. An unstoppable force. Fierce.

But this is already the era of firearms.
