For the army of this era, if it is scattered, it is scattered, and if it is to be retracted, it can only go to a safe place dozens of miles away. If it is contained on the battlefield, it is more likely to be scattered by the teams that can still be controlled by these routs, which is a greater danger.

As a result of the Eight Banners, when the Dafang team entered the formation of the Dengzhou army of the Jiaozhou battalion like a chisel, they ignored the scattered soldiers at all, and the same was true for the Mongolian cavalry sheltered on both sides, they could kill them, their task was to ensure that the Jurchen cavalry team rushed forward, as for those who could not reach it, they did not pay attention to it at all, and the routed troops scattered on the battlefield had no combat effectiveness at all for them.

However, the Jiaozhou battalion is the Jiaozhou battalion, he is not the army of this era, and the confusion of the scattered fleeing soldiers is not because of fear and panic, but because they want to find how to continue fighting.

Even if Wang Tao didn't stand up, there would be Li Tao and Liu Tao standing up, and the officers, non-commissioned officers, ordinary soldiers and even Shandong's own people, Ding Zhuang, would not think that I was fighting for the Zhu family and the emperor when they were fighting.

They all sacrificed their lives to join the battle, not for others, but for themselves, in order to defend their hard-won happy life, for this rare opportunity to get ahead, such a heart and will are naturally full of fighting spirit, and it is difficult to be beaten to collapse.

When the spear square array, it is all based on someone on the right flank as the reference point, this person is generally the thousand general of the battalion, and behind him is the flag officer of the battalion, the first column is aligned with this thousand general, and then the team behind is lined up in this first column, lined up in a phalanx.

As stated in the Code of Conduct. The entire army was killed or seriously wounded in the battalion, and the commanders below the commander took command in order.

But under such circumstances, the left flank of the Dengzhou army formation was already in disarray, and the soldiers of various camps were mixed. Officers cannot find soldiers, and soldiers cannot find officers, and they have completely lost effective command.

The soldiers of the Dengzhou Army, who were flustered in their hearts and ran around like flies without a head, suddenly found the direction of gathering, and ran towards this side one after another, how to line up. How to become a formation of a phalanx. This has become the instinct of the soldiers in their daily training, and now all they need is one person, a hero.

Wang Tao stood up, and very quickly, a large number of stragglers gathered towards him. Although there were many stragglers, the crowd was arranged in an extremely orderly manner. With Wang Tao as the base point on the right side and arranged to the left, although this Wang Tao is only a general at the moment, according to the drill code, he is the commander of the thousand generals of this temporarily gathered battalion.

After the four cavalry brigades broke through the six battalions, the addition of the rout and the Mongolian cavalry behind made the space gradually larger, that is to say, those battalions that had not collapsed could barely be organized to defend them, and the Tartar war horses ran side by side for so long. The formation is also a bit scattered. There were also gaps in the wounded and killed, in order to storm the prepared infantry line. You'll have to form a team a little bit.

The generals of the Eight Banners did not expect that the Ming army would be able to gather another phalanx. Wang Tao gathered the square, and the phalanx gathered quickly. Wait for the team to appear. The local team of 800 people has been regrouped. It's jaw-dropping.

Suddenly regrouped the spear squadron behind and on the flanks. Of course, the generals of the Eight Banners knew what that meant. Behind the ground, a Jurchen cavalry brigade called for a sentry doctor. Begin to turn on the battlefield. Prepare to re-crush the gathered Ming infantry team.

At the same time, the Jurchen horse team and the Mongol cavalry from the periphery also appeared in this phalanx. They rushed over with their horses. Hit on both sides. It is necessary to break it up completely!

Six battalions of nearly five thousand troops. Although there were a large number of dead and wounded. But there are still a lot of soldiers left. At this point, they frantically gathered in this direction. At present, the size of this square team is not 800 people for a long time. In the panic of the people. I saw that there was such a phalanx. The stragglers all leaned in.

As a result, when the Tartar cavalry began to turn their attention to this side. With Wang Tao as the base point, the local array has become a forty by fifty square array. That's just too big. Most of the rest of the stragglers have discarded their weapons. Ostracized by this phalanx. You can only pick up a weapon that has been dropped on the ground. Fight around the phalanx.

Wang Taodi breathed heavily. He was promoted step by step to the general manager because of his excellent training on weekdays. Put the sum of thousands of totals even though they are one level worse. But they are two completely different levels of command. For Wang Tao. The team in front of him is not even the scale of the Jiaozhou standard ground camp.

There was a large phalanx of 2,000 people, and there were many people swimming around the phalanx with broken spears, firearms, swords, and the like, and such a phalanx, which was about 3,000 people, and I really didn't know how to organize and mobilize it, but it was no longer the time to think about it.

One of the Tartar cavalry brigades, which had already rushed inside, had made a difficult turn and turned around, while a square and many Mongol light horsemen were moving in this direction on the periphery.

This huge phalanx that has just been formed is about to be attacked from several directions, in the face of this situation, Wang Tao knew what to do, he puffed up his breath and shouted loudly:

"Listen to my orders, flat spears, reject horses!!"

The soldiers gathered in the phalanx were not the kind of panic that ran around, they all shouted in unison, and they all agreed loudly, and according to the requirements of the drill against the cavalry attack, they turned their spears outward, and the entire large phalanx instantly turned into a huge steel hedgehog.

Because of the expansion of the phalanx, those stragglers who did not enter the phalanx could also roam relatively calmly, and they could hide and run around the phalanx.

When the cavalry was about to rush over, that is, more than a dozen fire guns were fired, which did not play a role in hindering the horse team, but in such a chaotic situation on the scene, the Mongolian light cavalry or the Jurchen cavalry could not let go of the archery, and could only rely on the cavalry charge.

Besides, the soldiers of the Dengzhou military and ground are in such a big formation. The Tartars would not be allowed to shoot arrows at a distance of thirty or forty paces, and the spearmen had gained experience and were ready to rush out at any time to assassinate.

Crash into such a huge infantry phalanx, and be ready to mourn the array. The cavalry could not be hit at all, and the Mongol light cavalry rode to the front of them, and wanted to dismount and shoot, but they were thrown out to fight and fight by those stragglers who were outside the phalanx, and there was no time to open their bows and shoot arrows.

And the two squares of the Jurchen cavalry came back and forth, and the horses that had only been galloping for half a day had weakened in degree and momentum, and they were rushing into battle. It is equivalent to driving the defeated army to charge into battle. Then put pressure on the opposing team to collapse, but now it doesn't work, and you have to hit the big phalanx that is not smaller than your own number.

The phalanx looked so solid that every soldier on the horse was in a dilemma. They knew the temper of the horses, and they rushed over. Faced with the hedgehog-like formation where the opponent placed the spears on several sides, it was unlikely that they would rush in, but it was possible that the horses would be frightened and bent wildly.

The panic and confusion of one horse and two horses can be caught by their companions on the side and unable to turn and move in such a tight formation, but when they impact such a formation, I am afraid that more than fifty percent of the horses will be confused, and the entire cavalry team will probably be scattered.

Most of the routs that ran all over the battlefield were gathered in the square team based on Wang Tao, but the interior of the square was still chaotic but became relatively empty, whether it was Wang Tao's phalanx or the original phalanx, they could complete the tactical action. No more crowded and unable to put down the spear. Hit hard by the cavalry.

The leader of the Jurchen cavalry team that turned around was Beizi Hulihai with a white flag, and the chief of staff Delenha was beside him. Their detachment, because of the failure last time, belonged to the group of very unpopular among the nobles of the two white flags, and the identities of the two of them should not have to take the lead in this battle, but they were still sent to the cavalry.

Abatai and the main general of the Ming army fought on the frontal battlefield of the earth-shattering, you come and go, these two Tartar generals who have experienced a death battle are frightened, sent to the left flank, fighting with confidence but gradually coming back, the other party's array, like other Ming troops, was harassed by light cavalry and heavy cavalry after charging the formation, it was also unable to support the collapse.

Moreover, after the continuous impact of the whole team, the momentum of collapse began to spread, and victory seemed to be in sight, during this period of time, these two even felt that the strong enemy they encountered in Qihe County back then was not their own dream, or they were confused.

Just as they were ready to win the victory, the defeated army, which they had already regarded as ineffective, formed a phalanx behind them.

The white flag Beizi Hu Lihai only felt that his chest was tight, and that uncomfortable feeling came again, the Ming army he encountered this time was very different from the Ming army he had encountered before, and these Ming troops never seemed to act according to the laws of the battlefield they knew.

You can't tell whether you've won or lost, and you can't tell whether your blow has achieved the intended effect.

"Defeat him, break this phalanx, and we will win this battle completely......"

In the cavalry squadron, some people shouted at the top of their voices, but Beizi Hulihai was silent, he was the leader of this squadron, but the one who could really command the movement was a staff leader with a white flag, a soldier who was released by Dorgon's side to be an official, and it is said that it was the above who was not at ease with him, so he arranged for this soldier to come down.

Prince Rui's personal guard, that status is really amazing, but as a result, these bannermen under Beizi Hu Lihai are all obedient to this person's orders, and they don't pay attention to the orders of the superiors at all.

This personal guard is towering, but it is inevitably too young, people are very impetuous, this time in the Ming Kingdom, every day is shouting to make meritorious contributions, to earn a reputation for being brave and good at fighting.

At this time, looking at the large array of the Ming army in front of him, Hu Lihai and some old people were worried, but this staff leader was not afraid at all, but ordered to break down this phalanx, completely clear the obstacles, and then wholeheartedly impact most of the Ming army behind him.

Although Beizi Hulihai couldn't see the cavalry on that side, he knew in his heart that the other party must have slowed down, but his side couldn't stop.

All the people in this team were impetuous, and they were moved in this direction, but Hu Lihai didn't have any idea of making a contribution, he was in the first row. Looking at the layers of spears stretched out on the opposite side, riding a horse and crashing into it, don't think about making meritorious achievements, it's almost like dying.

Can be in the phalanx. was held hostage by people from front to back, left and right, and couldn't move if he wanted to, even if he was a deserter, not to mention that he was cut off his head, and the whole family was probably called as cattle and horses.

The chief of staff who was with him at the time, Delenha, was beside Hulihai, also in the first row, although the heads of both sides were in the hooded peaked leather helmets, that is, to look at the eyes. But he also seemed to know what Hu Lihai was thinking. Controlling the horses, he looked at the Ming army's infantry formation in front of him, and said in a wooden voice:

"Master Pei, the two of us were put in the first row, don't you understand, after that incident. A few masters have already been unpleasant to look at us, so why don't they rush up directly. It's luck that you can't die, and if you die, you can earn a pension for your wife and children, and you won't be ashamed of your family! ”

Beizi Hulihai stiffened a little on his horse, and then laughed:

"That's the truth, we don't lose anything, we've lived happily for a few years, Ming has such soldiers and horses, so what rich days can we live, let's just wait!!"

At this time, the situation was obviously victory in sight, and the situation was very good. This phalanx is obviously just a last-minute counterattack. But the resentful words of these two men may mean something.

"It's here, it's here. Razi, Razi, rush!! ”

Seeing the cavalry line in front of him like a wall and a mountain, Wang Tao organized a large phalanx of soldiers along the ground in order to give himself an atmosphere is also shouting loudly, but the spear in his hand is not moving, pointing to the cavalry formation that is about to collide, every soldier is unwilling to be so crushed again, the soldiers of the Dengzhou army are so frightened if they leave the collective, they don't know how to fight at all, and they are so powerless in the face of the Tartar cavalry.

But standing in this phalanx, the courage that had just disappeared returned to his own place, with his comrades in arms to rely on in front and back, left and right, and his mind was stable, and he only wanted to fight.

Beizi Hulihai, when he approached this phalanx, the spurs on his riding boots were already fiercely pierced into the horse's belly, but in the face of the cold and shining spear tips on the opposite side and the heart-rending shouts of the soldiers, the horse itself wanted to rein in degree, but was still pushed forward by the queue behind him.

Looking at the several spears that stabbed over, to be precise, he took the initiative to hit the ground, the length of the spear in his hand was not enough, no matter how he straightened his arm, he couldn't stab the other party, at this moment, time seemed to pass very slowly, and the sword slash could offset the foam nail armor with great strength, but it could not resist the main assassination.

What's more, at this time, it is equivalent to many centaur forces directly sent the cavalry of the first row into the steel jungle, Hu Lihai could feel that the tip of the spear pierced the thick cloth, pierced the iron blades and the inner lining, and pierced into the body all the time, and the blood and strength of this body seemed to be frozen there, and he could no longer move.

Almost all the cavalry in the first row were assassinated on the spot by the spears of the phalanx, and the large phalanx that Wang Tao temporarily pulled up was only concave, but it was not defeated or pierced.

The first wave of the cavalry team failed to attack, those life-threatening spears were still erected there, the second row would not be stupid to go up and crash, and the corpses of the eight banner cavalry in the front row hung on the spears, and there were still those who could not die for a while and a half, and it was even more terrifying on it.

But it was extremely difficult for the second row to turn, because there were companions who were very close behind them, and they squeezed them and collided with the spears, and the effect of the large phalanx of about 2,000 people moving was unknown, but it was stable and solid there, and the opponent's advance could not penetrate at all.

The cavalry of the second row also scrambled into the steel jungle, and was pushed and stabbed to the core......

This improvised phalanx is still not chaotic, stubbornly withstanding the impact, the formation is still there, no matter how brave the soldiers are, they will not rush when they know that they will die, and what they do will not lead to anything, these cavalry of the Eight Banners will not be stupid to attack the spear array when the first and second rows with the strongest momentum are ineffective.

The cushioning in front was also enough for the cavalry behind to stop the horses from reacting, and the only trouble was that the cavalry team was also chaotic. And the horse team that came from the periphery saw such a huge phalanx, and they didn't mean to rush to the ground at all, and directly flashed in a circle.

Withstanding this wave of attacks, the left flank finally stabilized. On the edge of the phalanx gathered by Wang Tao, there were two small phalanx teams that formed by themselves, vaguely forming a small formation, echoing the big phalanx over there.

At this time, the horse teams of several Jurchen cavalry in the interior were all attacked on their backs. The front and rear are the phalanxes that have stabilized, so it is extremely dangerous for them to leave the country.

Although there is a distance between Wang Tao's large phalanx and this formation, it is still a little small for a large group of cavalry, and the Tartar horse team can't be fast in order to maintain the formation, and in such a small space, it is impossible to rush up at all, and if you want to go out, you can only scatter the square.

Scattered cavalry that can be dispersed in formation. How to face the infantry phalanx such as a forest of spears. The cavalry team that was caught in it shattered like porcelain on the ground, and the momentum of victory and defeat suddenly began to reverse, and the cavalry could only run out of this gap and then re-line.

The infantry phalanx could not pursue, and the musketeers lost too much. I could only watch the cavalry rush out from this side, but there were too many Mongol and Jurchen cavalry in the inner circle. When many people rushed to the edge of the phalanx, because it was too crowded and narrow, they were inevitably stabbed with spears, hung with axes and guns, and forced to be knocked off their horses and trampled into flesh by their companions behind.

"Hit out!!" "Battalion and battalion are separated." "Push it out!!"

Countless orders were passed between each battalion, keeping a certain length of space between them, so that there was more flexibility and space, and there was more room to deal with the onslaught of the cavalry, not because they were so close to each other for fear of being scattered by the opposing cavalry.

At this time, Zhao Neng's location was completely pinned down by the direction of Abatai's location. Not even an order could be given. The commanders of each battalion could only act on their own in such a situation, and Zhao Neng's on-the-spot command ability was already vaguely doubted.

The direction of the main attack of the Tartars was on the left flank. Except for the front, the rest of the places were only facing each other or holding each other, but the direction of the Jurchen cavalry that could be arranged to charge in formation was only the left flank and the front, and the phalanx in the left, right, and rear directions slowly pushed out towards the outside.

The Mongolian cavalry that had always been surrounding the Dengzhou military formation could not resist, so they could only expand outward with this expansion, and the ranks and formations became thinner, and many places had always been surrounded by formations, or even disconnected.

After all the other strengths, the Dengzhou Army finally gained a little initiative on the battlefield......

The face of the general Abatai, who was ordered by the old god just now, was already completely gloomy, and the Korqin Belle Turichen on the side was even more nervous, and several leaders who came back from the left flank reported the situation with a disgraced face, and no one would have thought that the momentum of this collapse would be stopped like this.

"General, this ......."

Abataihei's face did not answer, but he suddenly took a horsewhip and whipped a pro-soldier beside him, and said with hatred:

"Go and say hello, it's not good, cut off Wei's head, change his deputy, go quickly!!"

The pro-soldier naturally knew that the main general was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly beat his horse and went away, and ordered the general Abatai to turn his head and say coldly to Turi Chensen:

"Lord Belle, if this soldier and horse don't take advantage of his jerkiness to defeat him today and let him come back to his strength, this will be the scourge of our Qing Dynasty......"

Listening to what Abatai said so seriously, Tu Lichen didn't dare to say more, but the pro-soldiers sent out just now had already run back on horseback, and when they arrived, they hurriedly reported that they didn't have time to get off their horses, and said:

"General, it's all ready!!"

The face of the ordered general suddenly improved, he sneered a few times on the horse, raised the horsewhip in his hand and shook it a few times, the drum rumbled, and the Mongolian horse team led by Daruhua, who was facing in front, seemed to have been stabbed by something, and immediately rushed forward.

The Jurchen horse team and foot soldiers on Abatai's side were all retreating, and Tu Lichen, who couldn't figure his head, also followed behind, thinking that this was just a retreat, but didn't he just say that he wanted to fight?

The retreating Jurchen soldiers and horses retreated a few dozen steps and then parted like a tide, revealing twenty cannons and twenty twelve-pounder general cannons placed there. Thank you for the monthly pass
