Since the beginning of military training, Chen Wen has always used infantry as the main force, not only because of the lack of war horses in his hands, but also because of terrain considerations.

But because of this, when he was in this flat area, the cavalry advantage of the Qing army was immediately revealed, and he only had less than 100 cavalry in his hands, and after many military discussions, he still decided that he and the accompanying part of the Chinese cavalry team would break the formation and delay time for the infantry in the first game. So, seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army had moved, he immediately gave an order according to the established plan.

"General Chen, drag the Tartar cavalry on the left flank!"

"The last will obey."

After clasping his fists and saluting, Chen Guobao led the less than 100 horsemen under his command to rush to the left flank of the Ming army. And at this moment, under Chen Wen's general banner, there was only a team of sappers and a team of bird gunners left. With such a scale of troops and troop composition, it was impossible to face the cavalry of the Qing army directly, and at this moment, the part of the cavalry that came out of the left wing of the Qing army bypassed the infantry of the Ming army and came straight to Chen Wen.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

If it were someone else, it would almost be inevitable that he would feel this way at this moment, but for Chen Wen, this was exactly what he needed!

On the battlefield here, as the backbone of the Qing army's formation, the green battalion soldiers have begun to be beaten back by the mandarin duck formation of the Nantang battalion, and the left wing regiment training that had fallen behind before stopped in place inexplicably, and there was no desire to contact the Ming army at all, only the right wing was still advancing, but their advance speed was slower than when the Ming army firearms team continued to shoot.

Originally, when he learned that the Qing army had organized a group of regimental training soldiers to participate in the war, neither Chen Wen nor the officers under his command showed any interest in this, because the regimental training of soldiers in this era was far from being armed like the Hunan army and the Huai army in the late Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when they were in the military discussion before, the accompanying officers did not take the regimental training seriously, but at this moment, the strangeness of these regimental training still made Chen Wen and Lou Jiye, who was in command of the battle, feel a little puzzled.

It's just that there is not much time left for him to continue to hesitate, the cavalry led by Chen Guobao has collided with the Qing army, and after using the previously captured three-eyed gun to suppress some momentum of the Qing army, they will fit and pounce. On the other side, the Qing cavalry went straight around the battle formation of the Ming infantry and went straight to Chen Wen's general banner.

"Order, the killer team of the Mandarin Duck Formation will become a small three-talent formation, and the two-wing firearms team will no longer have to care about those regimental training, concentrate all their firepower to attack those green battalion soldiers, and fight Ben to the death!"

Relying on the advantage of the wolf's pressing formation, the Mandarin Duck Array killer team quickly completed the change of formation. And when they converted into the Xiaosancai formation, they began to violently impact and tear the formation of the Qing army like rows of sharp arrows. In the face of this sudden change, the Qing army still had no means to deal with it, and retreat was no longer the main theme, and this score composed of Qing infantry had gradually turned into a rout.

However, the cavalry of the Qing army here was not far from Chen Wen's banner, relying on the advantage of cavalry, the Qing cavalry with the idea of capturing the thief and the king went straight to the three banners and Chen Wen under his banner, trying to decide the outcome of the battle.

A moment later, the Qing cavalry was approaching, but just as they were about to rush to the left of the firearms team guarding in front of them, ready to rush over. Suddenly, the war horse of the Qing army officer who rushed to the front seemed to be mixed by something, and fell straight to the ground, and the Qing army officer was also thrown out, and suddenly disappeared after rolling forward twice.

At this time, the cavalry of Jinhua Town showed a level of equestrianism far inferior to that of the scouts of the standard battalion, after the first Qing officer fell, Chen Wen's general flag was less than ten meters in front of the flag, and the Qing army fell to the ground one after another like dumplings during the New Year, and some of the people who fell to the ground disappeared without a trace like the officer, until the momentum was not curbed after falling more than ten horses. But what appeared in front of these lucky people was a dense piece of horse traps, and behind those horse pits, a U-shaped trench more than two meters wide and more than one meter deep, facing the Ming army camp!

Behind the trench, a group of Ming troops erected a whole long card as a cover, and behind them, a team of twenty or thirty bird-gunners was waiting for them.

Seeing this, a smile crossed the corner of Chen Wen's mouth. It is true that the Qing army has the advantage of cavalry, but he will not be arrogant enough to fight the Qing army with this small army around him. Trapping horses to restrain cavalry charges was an old trick he had used before, but the U-shaped trench was a new means of survival.

The trench more than two meters wide meant that the Qing cavalry had to gallop their horses to have a chance to rush over, but the horse trap in front of the trench perfectly restrained the cavalry's charge; However, if the Qing army wanted to bypass this trench, it had to go around to the side of the Ming army camp, destroy part of the wooden camp wall and kill it from the main camp, so that the infantry of the Nantang battalion would have enough time to break the Qing army's formation.

There is no perfect strategy on the battlefield, in the final analysis, this is a danger after all, if the cavalry of the Qing army besieges the first game, the trend of the battle is likely to be more and more unfavorable to the Ming army.

It's just that during the previous military discussion, Chen Wen also took this into account and chose to lure the enemy with his own body. After all, the Nantang Battalion is also prestigious, and he Chen Wen is also a Ming army general who was called the Ming Army who beheaded Li Rong, the deputy general of the left battalion, in the Qing army's occupied area.

But if you wait for the infantry of the Ming army to be encircled and annihilated before pursuing, Chen Wen has a horse, with the style of a military general in this era, the commander will definitely turn around and flee when he is defeated, how can he stay and die with the soldiers? Therefore, if Ma San Province wants to achieve a complete victory, he must act when the battle situation is not yet clear, and only in this way can he have the opportunity to use Chen Wen's head and the military exploits of annihilating the Nantang battalion in exchange for the future of promotion and wealth.

Ma Jinbao's subordinates were indeed carved out of the same mold as him, and the words insatiable were written all over his body. People gather by like, things by groups, the ancients did not deceive me. ”

After the ridicule, Chen Wen no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered Yin Yue to command the battle, under the command of Yin Yue, the remaining part of the firearms team soldiers opened fire one after another, while the Qing army was trapped in the trench and trapped in the horse pit and was passively beaten, and could only carry out a limited counterattack with a bow, but also had to face the protection of the long card player, and was powerless.

There is no need to worry about the current battle situation, since this group of cavalry of the Qing army cannot get Chen Wen's head and banner, it is absolutely impossible to always maintain a state of passive beating. Especially at this moment, hundreds of meters behind them, the green battalion soldiers, the backbone of the Qing army, had begun to be unable to restrain their retreat.

In the regimental training on the left flank of the Qing army, the garrison in charge of the command drew his sword under the escort of his own soldiers and faced the leaders of the regimental training on the left, his face was full of anger.

"If you dare to disobey military orders, aren't you afraid of dying by military law?"

The leaders of the regiments glanced at each other, but it was a man led by a man who stepped forward and saluted the garrison.

"Zhen Garrison, it's not that we are unwilling to use our lives, it's just that the Ming army on the opposite side is Grandpa Qi's Mandarin Duck Array. We are all Yiwu people, either our ancestors once followed Grandpa Qi, or we grew up in the story of Grandpa Qi leading us Yiwu people to eliminate the Japanese from my grandfather or father's mouth, so I know very well that this mandarin duck array cannot be broken at all. I also asked Zhen Shoubei to explain this matter to General Ma Shen, and don't let the brothers die here in vain. ”

"What did you say?"

Although the garrison is not a native of Jinhua, but he came with Ma Jinbao, he has lived here for more than two years, and he has heard the story of Qi Jiguang and the widow in those storytellers on weekdays, although he has not seen the mandarin duck array, but he has heard of it.

"Mandarin Duck Array, how is this possible?"

"How could it not be? Long cards, rattan cards, wolf whisks, spears, boring palladium, and there is a firefighter with a pointed flat pole behind the formation, this is not what a mandarin duck array is! ”

The man at the head pulled the man who had just spoken, and then saluted the guard again: "Zhen Garrison, let's hurry up and explain this matter to General Ma Shen." If you can't retreat in time, I'm afraid that no one will be able to leave here alive, whether it is the town soldiers or our group training, just like those widows who were killed by Grandpa Qi back then. ”

Although Jinhua Mansion is located in the hinterland of Zhejiang and has more plains, it has always been recognized as a poor and remote place in Zhejiang.

The Jinhua people are brave and brave, love and hate, and have deep regional cultural characteristics, which makes them extremely superstitious about Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiguang's art of war. Just like when Chen Wen threatened to rebuild the Qi family's army, Lou Jiye, who was already disheartened, immediately responded.

These regimental training troops from all over Jinhua Prefecture, especially the Yiwu regiment training troops, which was the main force of the left-wing regiment training, were themselves resentful of assisting the standard battalion of Jinhua Town, which had slaughtered the city in Jinhua Prefecture, and after noticing that Chen Wensuo's troops were using a mandarin duck formation, these regimental training troops said that they would not continue to attack.

Since childhood, they have grown up in Qi Jiguang's prestige and the story of their ancestors following Qi Jiguang, in their eyes, Qi Jiguang and the Mandarin Duck Array are invincible, and it is not just as simple as fear of attacking the Mandarin Duck Array in front of them, but more because they can't accept the existence of the opponent of the Mandarin Duck Array psychologically.

The news had already been sent, but at the mercy of the garrison, these regiments refused to launch an attack on the Ming army on the opposite side. A moment later, the green battalion in the backbone of the Qing army's formation collapsed, and the Qing army under the command of the Ming army general in the distance also began to try to get out of this dangerous place, and even the Qing cavalry that fought with the Ming cavalry was on par with the tiger, and left its wounded companions and fled.

With the complete collapse of the green battalion of the Qing army, the regimental training soldiers on the left and right flanks began to retreat on their own without being taken care of by the Ming army, and the five or six hundred green battalion soldiers who survived on the battlefield and the seven or eight hundred regimental training who did not engage at all, as well as hundreds of cavalry, were chased and fled by the infantry of less than 400 men and cavalry of less than 100 people of the Ming army.

Such a scene is really commonplace on the battlefield, and under the fear, the Qing army can no longer take care of its own strength, in fact, there is still an absolute advantage, but everyone is fleeing, and those who turn back to face all the opponents will face all the opponents alone, but those who want to survive will never turn back to face the battle.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Chen Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In this battle, starting from the initial Chen Wen's determination to attack Jinhua, every step of the plan was the result of countless deductions, and even to the most critical battle in this plan, Chen Wen and his officers were still revising the battle plan according to the information they had obtained before the battle.

At this time, the Qing army has been completely defeated, and it may be difficult to organize enough troops to come to encircle and suppress for a while, and the rest is how to maximize the surplus value.

"Tell Lou Jiye and Chen Guobao that before dinner today, Ben Shuai wants to see the city wall of Dongyang County!"
