The Mongolian cavalry running around the Dengzhou army, after almost surrounding the Dengzhou army's infantry formation on three sides, actually slowed down.

The Mongol cavalry on the left flank surrounded the Dengju army in a rather sparse formation, but the distance was always out of the range of the muskets, while the Korean musketeers and Han infantry who were walking in front of them were still enduring the slaughter of artillery, although the Korean musketeers were in front as meat shields.

But in order to supervise the battle, the array of Korean soldiers was next to the array of Han soldiers, and the damage to them by artillery fire was also increasing.

Li Rui, the leader of the Han army, who received the promise of a reward, has no regard for the feelings of his fellow clansmen, and the foot soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, even if they are the foot soldiers of the King of Sanshun, if they hesitate, they will immediately be taken out by his own soldiers to engage in military law.

The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were the natives of the Eight Banners outside the Guanxi for many years, and it can even be said that they were Manchurianized Han people, and the officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, large and small, had such and such connections with the relatives and nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and Li Rui of the Sanshun Wang system was also an inferior ethnic outsider in their eyes.

At this time, he rode on their heads, drove them to the other side's steel hell to die, and immediately some people jumped like thunder, to make it clear, the soldiers were also tense to use fire.

What they didn't expect was that in order to maintain the authority of Li Rui, Abatai actually sent himself and Yue Le's guards to protect their teeth, and the status of these guards was similar to that of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they had the intention of coming forward to call the shots for their masters.

Several Han Eight Banner commanders who were slightly disobedient and questioning were all killed on the spot by these soldiers who were swinging their teeth, which made the officers and soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, who thought they were different from King Sanshun and the Korean soldiers, finally realized that they were no different, and they were also cannon fodder who were sacrificed.

The firing of ten field guns caused great damage to the Korean soldiers and Han troops, but the line of movement of the artillery in this era after the landing point and the shells jumped was a line kill, and there was no crushing damage for the spread as much as possible and relatively sparsely arrayed.

At the very least, the front three rows of the Korean Gunners are still intact. The gap formed by the fallen man was immediately replenished by the soldiers who drove up from behind.

"Firecrackers, step forward!!"

Behind the front array, the firearms commander opened his mouth and ordered loudly. The Dengzhou army and ground firecrackers strode forward with firecrackers in hand. The array of firearms is required to be kept neat. But it's worse than the spear position.

After five rounds of artillery firing. More than 400 Korean musketeers and Han soldiers died under the artillery. Almost the same number of people have lost their combat effectiveness. If it's usual. That's more than half a dozen casualties. And the miserable cries, the stumps and the bloody arms. This kind of psychological pressure to see and hear. It would have made them psychologically break down a long time ago. Especially this kind of servant army that has no will to fight.

But at this time, there is still a way forward. If you don't go forward, you will be slaughtered by the Inspector behind you or the cavalry of the Manchurian land. Two options lie ahead. but forced out a strong army that is indomitable.

Infantry marches. After all, it is much faster than the bulky carriage. After five rounds of artillery firing. Basically, without a whole team of Tartar foot soldiers, they had already walked into the limited place where the shooting ground was located. Strictly speaking. It's okay to use artillery here. But the range of the opponent's ground fire gun is also about to be enough.

Compare the flat artillery with the gun. All within range of each other. The artillery ground advantage is not too great. Especially since the other party is not a reckless man who rushes to the position with a cold weapon. Shotguns are also unusable.

So that's it. The artillery has already stopped firing. Their view was also obscured by the front row of firecrackers. Deal with the North Korean firecrackers. It is to use the Dengzhou army's own firearms.

"Positive step, ten steps forward!!"

The commander of firearms estimated the distance between the two armies' lines, laid out the order to march, he estimated that when he entered the firing range, both sides would have to walk about fifteen or twenty paces, and when the time came. The movement rate of the firecrackers in the Jiaozhou camp must be faster than that of the cowering North Korean soldiers on the opposite side, which is the key to victory.

Unexpectedly, after ten steps forward, the front line of the North Korean firecrackers had already set up, squatting or standing, and began to shoot firecrackers in this direction.

The quality control of the guns in the Jiaozhou battalion is extremely strict, not only the guns, but also the number of the manufacturing craftsman and the number of the inspection are engraved on each weapon. The second random inspection of the ground worker number. If something goes wrong with a weapon, report it. Layer by layer, you can chase everyone.

The craftsmen are rewarded with enviable rewards for the quality of the weapons, but many of the punishments for making mistakes are related to beheading.

Generous rewards and severe punishments naturally ensure the quality of the firearms in the Jiaozhou battalion, so the firearms commander of the Jiaozhou battalion is extremely confident in his own firearms, and any army that uses firearms is not comparable with the Jiaozhou battalion in terms of range and power.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's firecrackers actually stopped shooting first, but the range of the North Korean firearms was relatively long, and the firearms commander hesitated slightly, and the opposite side was already like a burst of beans, and the gunpowder smoke was filled. The firearms commander's heart suddenly tightened, and he thought that a big casualty was about to occur.

But the result was more funny, only four or five of the densely lined Dengzhou arms soldiers fell, only one was killed, and the rest were injured.

It turns out that the problems committed by the North Korean musketeers on the opposite side are the same as those committed by the Ming soldiers, and in such a big war situation, they have already been frightened and discouraged, and they are also out of range.

"Stride forward, five steps!!" "Stand!!" "Ready to shoot!" "Ready!!"

"Fire !!"

The firearms commander behind the front gave orders loudly one by one, and the more such occasions he had, the more he had to remain calm and sober, and he clearly gave orders step by step, and in the training, he had already mechanically followed those firearms who had been trained in the drill movements.

The order to fire was given, this time it was the real fatal roar, the strength of the front line was strengthened, and the five rows of firecrackers were fired next time under the order.

Every row of firearms fired, those who were still busy charging the North Korean firecrackers were knocked down a row, just watching the melee battle from a distance, the ability of the firecrackers of the Jiaozhou battalion could not be waved, and the current firecrackers were fighting against each other, which really made people feel how powerful the death subway blood storm was.

In fact. When the third row of firecrackers began to fire, the North Korean firecrackers had already broken up, but this formation was so tightly clustered that it was not possible to run if they wanted to run, and the dense array of the Jiaozhou battalion ensured that the shooting firepower was equally dense, and the North Korean firecrackers fell in pieces.

This was a dense volley of guns. Even directly penetrated the array of North Korean soldiers, and many of the Han Eight Banner foot soldiers in the back row were swept away by this steel storm and fell to the ground.

"Sons, the fire of the Han dog has been beaten, let's rush in and kill them all!!"

Li Rui immediately saw that the five rows of firearms on the opposite side were instantaneously fired, and the instantaneous damage formed by the dense firepower was indeed amazing, but without the protection of the spear team, what was the firecracker soldier who had cleaned the bullets in front of the soldier holding a knife and gun, it was a fish waiting to be put into the pot.

The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the foot soldiers of the King of Sanshun were in the midst of the advance. was bombarded by the opponent's artillery, and swept by a volley of fire, and it was indeed a fire in his heart. At this time, it is the best time to bring out this fire, and with this momentum, rush forward to completely defeat it, or at least disrupt the more rigorous Ming army in front of it.

The armed Tartar foot soldiers howled loudly and rushed over, and in the middle except for the corpses, it was a smooth road, as long as they spread their feet and run, but these were already red-eyed beasts. But now they can't run at all, because not everyone runs forward, some forward, some backward, some right, few forward, and none left.

Li Rui, the leader of the Han army, was all focused on the Dengzhou army column in front of him, and when he expected the charge did not have the effect of flood tilting, he noticed that the left flank of the Han army's infantry had been broken by the impact of the Ming cavalry on the opposite side.

The more than 1,000 cavalry who had been in the upper corner of the right flank of the Dengzhou Army. It was really insignificant in front of a cavalry full of more than 20,000 horses, and in battle, whether it was against light cavalry or on a chariot, it was not suitable to use cavalry, and only then did a large number of Mongol cavalry rush out as if they were opening the floodgates. 、

This small group of cavalry did not dare to move, and rashly blocked the movement of the Mongolian cavalry like a great tide, and the greatest possibility was to be crushed by this tide.

Because the cavalry of the Dengzhou Army did not move and did not dare to move, many people had already ignored this force. Strictly speaking. Cavalry is still the strongest and most mobile of the troops. Good steel should naturally be used on the blade, and this is the time to use it.

The Mongolian horse team made a big move, and the Tartar infantry broke into a state of hand-to-hand combat, and the Manchurian horse team on the right flank was also distanced, and the Han infantry of the Qing army was a lone army in a sense at this time, and after withstanding previous blows, although it was a depressed breath.

But this kind of morale explosion is extremely fragile, and it only takes a little external force to make this explosion collapse, let alone a flank attack that is already defenseless.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion are equipped with long knives and axes and other chopping weapons, that is, cavalry and horses, and at such a short distance, there is no way to charge, and they can only jog to the front and slash and kill.

In a sense, this kind of condescending slashing and slashing has a greater shock to the enemy's psychology, let alone on the flanks where the defense is weak.

The Han soldiers who had just mustered up some fighting spirit were rushed by these condescending cavalry, and in an instant, the morale completely collapsed, and the cold-armed infantry against the cavalry, if they wanted to avoid being broken by the cavalry, and then slaughtered, the only way was to form a tight and dense formation - just like the Dengzhou army did at this time.

But halfway through the charge, everyone was running wildly, and the front was already a mess, but the cavalry of the Dengzhou Army intervened at this critical moment, and the timing was extremely accurate, and this time it completely crushed the attack of the frontal foot soldiers.

It is one thing to have strict military discipline, but it is another thing when it collapses, everyone is just taking care of their lives fleeing at this time, and they are still thinking about how to punish the military discipline at that time, Li Rui, the leader of the Han army, and the supervising team directly under him, this time they can't stop the battle no matter what.

Originally, the people of the Sanshun King system were still slashing and killing there, but they couldn't support it after just a while, and the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners and the North Korean firecrackers who had completely collapsed began to follow the overseer team to slash and kill, and their own internal chaos was already a mess.

Now in front of the Dengzhou army, the attack of the Tartar army's foot soldiers has been completely defeated, but the situation has also been mixed into a pot of porridge.

The cavalry of the Dengzhou army, the Han Eight Banners of the Tatar soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of the Sanshun King were systematically infantry, and the Korean firecrackers were all mixed together, and the firecrackers of the Jiaozhou battalion were already too far away from their own formation......

It was about to surround the three Mongolian light cavalry on the left, right and rear sides of the large phalanx of the Dengzhou army. From left to right, the movement of the entire brigade is getting slower and slower, and the cavalry in motion is gradually turning, and the horse body is gradually facing the array of the Dengzhou army of the Jiaozhou battalion. Some half-dead taste.

The sun is already westerly, the Dengzhou army has won in the battle step by step, from top to bottom, no one feels relaxed and proud, from Zhao Neng to ordinary soldiers, everyone is more nervous and afraid, and the morale has been reduced after victory.

The ordered general Abatai, who had been there to observe the battle situation, waved his hand fiercely, and the drums that had been silent for a long time rumbled loudly.

It was already after the Mongolian cavalry, which had been laid out on three sides of the Dengzhou army, heard the sound of drums. Slightly adjusting the direction of the horses, it has become more or less the same.

In the queue, which had gradually quieted down, a huge noise suddenly broke out. Every Mongolian cavalryman shouted loudly, desperately urging their horses to rush towards the internal Dengzhou military formation.

In addition to the front of the porridge, the other three directions, the spearmen and firecrackers of the Dengzhou Army in these three directions have long been in full battle.

Seeing the Mongolian cavalry shouting and rushing up, the firecrackers of each front immediately opened fire under the order of the officer, the formation was sparse enough, but the cavalry in front of them still fell to the ground one after another, but in fact, there were not many casualties, and the horses had warmed up the horses by running around.

Movement at this time. Horses can reach the fastest degree in a very short time, the cavalry in the front row fell, and the cavalry in the back didn't care at all, they jumped over directly with their horses, and the cavalry rushed up, because the mass of people and horses was very large, and the inertia was not small.

It is extremely difficult to turn around after running fast, and people are social animals. Almost more than 10,000 people charged at the same time, and every cavalryman thought that with so many companions by his side, my chances of being hit must be much smaller, and I was consciously very safe, and so many people charged, even if I wanted to turn around, I would be knocked over and trampled to death by my comrades behind me and around me.

The Mongolian Eight Banners is the same system as the Manchurian Eight Banners, and it is needless to say that orders are issued and executed, but these herdsmen who followed them on the steppe were also agitated. The noble Korqin Belle Turichen sent someone to preach:

"Everyone has come to this place of the helpless land of Mingguo. Everyone is robbing a lot of good things, if the current Han army is not defeated. Not only can you not take away the things you have robbed, I am afraid that even your life will be lost in this foreign land, think about the parents and wives waiting for you on the grassland, rush hard, and gain more wealth and even fame in this battle!! ”

Being in a foreign country, this is equivalent to a desperate situation, looting gold and silver treasures and more money, this is the temptation, parents and wives are young, this is family affection.

In such an environment, and there are all kinds of factors to agitate, these Mongolian herdsmen are also red-eyed and ready to fight hard, although they are herdsmen, but after all, they are a people who live on horseback all day, and they can also shoot arrows with bows, which is enough in battle.

If all of the above does not force them to charge, there are fierce and vicious Mongolian Eight Banners with rich military training on their periphery, which is also a kind of overseer in the sense.

Many of the soldiers were panicked by the Mongol cavalry running around them, the fire rope on the beak hook was extinguished, and some were already shooting, and they were scrambling to reload their ammunition, which was before the Mongol cavalry charged, which itself left a gap when charging.

The shooting of the second platoon would not be any better, full of mistakes, and the soldiers who had little experience on the battlefield still had enough composure and confidence in the face of servant troops like the Korean firecrackers and Han soldiers, but when they faced a large force of barbarian horses, many began to panic.

In the first round of shooting, there were already cavalry who had slipped through the net and rushed to the front, fortunately, they were turned out by the non-commissioned officers and some gunners who did not fire, but when the first round of shooting was over, when the ammunition was loaded, the Mongolian cavalry had already rushed close enough, and these Mongolian cavalry had the courage to charge behind to supervise the battle. The previous attack methods were exactly the same as Abatai's orders.

They just took their bows and arrows and shot them in the direction of the enemy in front of them, without thinking about any accuracy, but these Mongol cavalry bent their bows and arrows in the direction of dense infantry formations, which was really the same as that sentence, even if they threw out the arrows and bows in their hands, they could hit people.

This moment proves that the word "rain of arrows" mentioned in literary works is not a flowery rhetoric. It's a real situation.

The firecrackers standing in the front were suddenly shot down a lot, and as soon as the array of firecrackers became sparse, the Mongolian cavalrymen, who were still a little scared in their hearts, suddenly became bolder, and the horses still charged forward, and they all pulled out and played, and raised their wooden guns.

"Retreat!! Go to the spear phalanx!! “

The main forces of the Dengju arms are placed on the front, and against the North Korean guns they can list about five rows of formations, but on the other three sides, there are only two rows.

Artillery, cavalry, and most of the musketeers were lined up in front. Of course, Zhao Neng and the generals of the Dengzhou military and local are not idiots, and the other three forces are indeed weak. According to their assumption, the enemy attacked from the front, and naturally most of the forces should be deployed in the front.

If the other three sides are attacked, then the forces deployed in front will make a maneuver in time to respond in other directions.

But Abatai seems to be a stiff tactical move, giving people a misunderstanding, that is, the army of the Tartars will only test the frontal troops and troops one by one, and there is no change, as long as the frontal and forward attacks are dismantled, then everything will be fine. This battle may be able to continue like this until the Dengzhou army wins.

However, after the Korean musketeers were dispatched, the Dengju army, which lacked mobility, could only deal with it with the superior musketeers in the front row, and in order to defeat this huge group of foot soldiers, the cavalry team had to be arranged.

The brawl in front entangled the superior units of the Dengzhou army on the battlefield, and then the Mongolian horse team attacked, relying on the superiority of numbers and mobility. Break through the thin musket barrier on three sides of the outer circle of the Dengzhou army.

Zhao Neng also saw the chaos on the other three sides, but now he can't divide his troops to rescue, the distance between the fire gun soldiers and the spear team in front is too far, and it is not difficult for the fire gun soldiers' front to advance, but it is difficult to retreat at the same degree, and those who have not completely broken down the enemy foot soldiers may follow the ** to kill back.

Not to mention the Manchu Eight Banner cavalry, which has gradually formed a large square formation, has been in array and has not moved, which makes the troop movement and tactical arrangements in front of it more cautious and more cautious.

The cavalry that had been slashed and killed just now finally gathered back to Zhao Nengdi's main formation, and this cavalry was currently being used to fill it. There is a gap between the firecrackers and the spear side. Avoid being stuck in this gap by enemies on both sides and in front of you.

In the remaining three directions, each firearms commander issued the same orders in accordance with the instructions and training grounds. All the musketeers immediately retreated into the gap between the spear phalanx, leaving the spearmen to deal with the onrushing cavalry.

For the sudden retreat of the Ming army, the Mongol cavalry underestimated, and they were supposed to slow down the horses before the collision, but they did not expect that those firecrackers who were a little flustered but very brave suddenly ran towards the inner circle, and they had to whip the horses again.

After the first round of arrows, each Mongolian cavalry began to wave their weapons and charge, rushing towards the Dengzhou army formation that was already a little panicked.

Now they are facing a spear team, and the officers of the Dengzhou Army of the Jiaozhou battalion are all shouting loudly and ordering:

"Spearmen, reject horses!!"

The spears were flattened, and the outermost soldiers shouted to cheer themselves up:

"For my father, for Shandong, for Dashuai, for Daming!!"

From the outer edge of the three sides to the center, from the ordinary soldiers holding spears to Zhao Neng, who was nervously commanding, everyone shouted loudly:

"For Da Shuai, for Da Ming!!"

In this battle, the Jiaozhou battalion fought for the Ming Dynasty and for the Chinese people!!
