The corpse of the lieutenant officer dragged behind the horse puff, and the corpse's chest was full of blood, and in front of tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides, it passed through the front of the two armies and disappeared into the woods. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

There was silence on the battlefield for a moment, and a burst of laughter erupted from the white Kuizhou soldiers' camp, unscrupulous.

The red Wang Xiang army was embarrassed and silent, and the generals looked at each other, all a little depressed.

Wang Xiangtie blushed, staring at the place where the green smoke rose in the Kuizhou soldiers' formation, his teeth were gritted and gurgling, and the hand holding the big knife was almost ready to come out of the water, this was a living slap in the face, I originally wanted people to go up and say a few abusive words, provocative and provocative.

This is called a scolding array, and the level of scolding is high, which can make the other party so choked that he can't speak, and he can't open his mouth, so as to achieve the purpose of demoralization, but he didn't expect that the Kuizhou soldiers would not accept this stubble at all, and directly put their own scolding generals with one shot.

Don't follow the rules, this is.

"Order, all armies speed up their formations, the front army birds are in front, and the archers are in front, ready to attack!" From Wang Xiang's mouth, these words popped out.

His heralds immediately shouted in response and rode their horses down.

In Wang Xiang's army, the odd barracks with a total of 5,000 people were divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, and the equipment of each army was different.

This is because after hundreds of years of development, the Ming army has formed a complete set of institutional system, the division of labor is clear, the responsibilities are different, the former army as the main force of the charge, resist the enemy, has always been the main combat force, second only to the Chinese army, Wang Xiang's soldiers and horses originated from Huguang He Tengjiao, belong to the southern army, less horses and more foot soldiers, combat power and the northern army is weaker than the soldiers, pay attention to the cooperation between various equipment, especially the use of firearms bows and crossbows, so firearms equipment more, in the southern Ming towns are considered a second-rate strong army.

Wang Xiang, as a general on Zeng Ying's side, although the odd battalion under his command is not as good as the main battalion of the general army, but it cannot be said to be bad, 5,000 battalions, with 500 bird commanders, 1,000 sword players, 1,000 archers, 2,000 pikemen and 500 cavalry.

Among them, there are 500 pikemen with chain mail and jacket armor, which are the main soldiers, 500 cavalrymen are family members, wearing half-body waist armor, and the others are miscellaneous soldiers, wearing mandarin duck uniforms, and only a few people are wearing leather armor.

In the face of the Kuizhou soldiers, Wang Xiang discharged the front of 500 people according to the custom, and sent a horizontal line of bird commanders and stragglers in the front, two rows of archers in the back, and a formation of pikemen and miscellaneous soldiers in the back, while the elite heavy armored pikemen were the middle army, protecting their side, and 500 cavalry were the rear army.

"Trumpet, drum!" Wang Xiang had a cold face, observed the lineup of Kuizhou soldiers, and said with a sneer: "Order the front army to attack, and kill it with one drum!" ”

The Kuizhou soldiers on the opposite side also discharged a front of 500 people wide, the first row of soldiers held rectangular wooden shields, and the back rows of spears were lined up, all of them seemed to be pikemen, except for the person who had just shot and killed his own cursed general, there were no other soldiers equipped with firearms.

The key point is that there are very few cavalry in Kuizhou, only less than fifty horsemen swimming on the two wings, which is completely insignificant to the entire battle situation, and in a short period of time, Wang Xiang decided on his own tactics according to the composition of the opponent's army formation he saw.

"First use the bird commander and the archer* close to the S strike, disrupt the front of the stone pillar barbarian, the pikemen advance to a distance of fifty paces to press, the stone pillar barbarian will inevitably shrink, waiting for our army to charge, at this time our cavalry from their right flank rush in, from the left flank, penetrate their formation, the stone pillar barbarian will inevitably be disrupted, and then the pikemen will take advantage of the chaos to charge, and the victory will be decided in one game!" Wang Xiang had a faint smile on his face, and it didn't seem like it would take much effort to deal with this kind of stupid barbarian.

The generals of the front army took the order and left, and a moment later, a low horn sounded, and in the front army, five hundred bird commanders rushed out, lined up in a loose horizontal line, and slowly walked forward.

After the bird commander ran twenty steps, a thousand archers lined up in two columns, following behind the bird commander, and walked out of the array at the same pace.

The three columns of pikemen were still standing silently, and they and the two columns of sword players next to each other were the main force in melee combat, and they had to wait until the bird commanders and archers had achieved certain results before attacking according to the situation.

As soon as the bird moved his hand, Wang Huan saw it, standing on the platform transformed from the wooden carriage of the four-wheeled carriage, although he was in the midst of thousands of troops, he could also see every move on the opposite side.

"Wang Xiang's bird commander is hand-in, this is the usual tactics of the Ming Dynasty, first by the bird commander to cast firearms, and then the archers release arrows, S chaos after the enemy's formation after the melee arms charge, but his cavalry did not move, still left behind, it is estimated that after we engage with his front army head-on, directly impact our army's flank." Beside Wang Huan, Ma Wannian, Ma Long, Chen Xiang and others also stood on the cart, staring at it, the ancestors were veterans, and they could see Wang Xiang's plan on the other side at a glance.

"There is nothing wrong with the tactics, as long as the bird commander and the archer are bold enough to shoot S arrows within a hundred paces, even if our army is protected by a shield, it will have to attack immediately, otherwise it will always be passively beaten." Ma Long said in a deep voice, he and Ma Xintian followed Qin Liangyu around to fight, and he also had his own view of the battlefield.

Wang Huan nodded, smiled and said, "He is deceiving our army without a long-range weapon, hasn't the shot on the ancestral side given him a wake-up call?" ”

Ma Long stared at the approaching bird commanders in front of him, and said: "My lord doesn't know, my white pole soldiers have always been known for their spears, and in the past, there was no precedent for using firearms when fighting for the imperial court, and there were fewer archers and crossbowmen than they were used, so in the hearts of Ming generals like Wang Xiang, the impression that the white pole soldiers only had spears and no S hands was deep-rooted, and the bird commanders and archers he came over counted at least a thousand people, and they could easily suppress us, so even if General Zu shot and killed him just now, Wang Xiang would not attract attention." ”

Wang was happy and said with a smile: "That is the case, then let him have a long memory, if he can escape today, he will definitely remember the crossbow of my Kuizhou soldiers forever." ”

As the distance approached, the footsteps of the bird commanders became slower and slower, and the faces of the soldiers under the red tasseled felt hats became whiter and whiter.

The gunshot that rang out in the white-robed soldiers just now didn't feel much to Wang Xiang, but it was very different for the bird commander who also used the bird system, and there was also a bird commander on the other side, getting closer, could it be against each other?

In the past, when the bird commander was close to more than a hundred steps away, he began to shoot S in a noisy, as long as the opposite side rushed, he had to quickly retreat, retreat behind the knife player and pikemen to steal the hole and release the gun, the safety was incomparable, even if he was defeated, he could escape the fastest because of the distance.

Holding the bird commander, the bird commander of the straggler line is slowly crawling like a turtle, everyone is waiting for the moment when the suona sounds, as long as the suona sounds, everyone will copy the gun S, and then you can retreat.

The archers who followed them also slowed down, they knew the thoughts of the bird commanders very well, and when the bird commanders first struck, they could also release the arrows, and finally everyone retreated together, and no one wanted to pull down anyone.

Walking on the right side of the bird commander horizontal team, the firearm Qian Zong was also beating the drum in his heart, Wang Xiang's order was very clear when he went out to fight, he had to enter the effective S range before he could shoot, S had to be accurate, and he didn't have to worry about the other party's bird system, those poor ghosts of the stone pillars may only have one, and it happened that S died The middle officer of the scolding formation, it's no big deal, as long as you get close and put a round, you will definitely be able to die a large piece of S.

Qian always knows the weapon in his hand very well, although there are hundreds of steps in the S Cheng of the bird system, but if you want to hit accurately and penetrate the wooden shield, you must get close to within fifty steps, otherwise the gods don't know where the lead bullet will go, but fifty steps away, even if the opposite side is a foot soldier, as long as you are not afraid of dying after a round of guns, you can rush up, and your five hundred people will be in danger.
