"Tiger!"

The war drums symbolizing the offensive had already been beaten, and all the officers and men of the Nantang battalion under Chen Wen chanted in unison the slogan that the Qi family army had shouted decades ago when the drums of the offensive were beating.

At this moment, the new army of the Nantang Battalion, which was copied from the Qi family's army, and the invincible male division of the year formed an amazing synchronization in rhythm, and the morale of the entire army was also boosted, and the pace of progress was also firm.

In just about fifty steps, although the "step" here is not the number of steps when walking, but in fact it is only about sixty or seventy meters long, even if it is not Bolt, how can a normal person run in twenty or thirty seconds. It's just that according to the progress of the Qing gunners at the moment, this cannon is obviously unavoidable.

Since it was unavoidable, Chen Wen decided to advance steadily against the artillery fire of the Qing army after discovering this problem. This can not only prevent the officers and men of the Nantang battalion from consuming too much physical strength, but also ensure that the coordination of the formation will not be scattered by the surprise attack of the Qing infantry not far behind the Qing artillery, and can also prevent the wounded in the front row after the Qing army's artillery bombardment from being trampled by the soldiers in the back row who cannot contain their feet.

It's just that in this way, it is bound to have a greater challenge to the morale and military discipline of the Nantang battalion, after all, seeing that the opponent is manipulating the artillery, while they themselves are always advancing steadily, the torture of this level is obviously more likely to cause the authorities to break down psychologically.

Chen Wen knows very well that the current Nantang battalion is still just a feudal army. It's just that, on the one hand, this army relies on Qi Jiguang's art of war battle formation to make it more powerful in combat effectiveness; On the other hand, while Chen Wen is enhancing the sense of honor of soldiers, he is also sparing no effort to get rid of some bad habits that the army is accustomed to in this era, such as eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood, officers enslaving non-commissioned soldiers, plundering the people, and so on, and with the disappearance of these bad habits, the cohesion and morale of the army have also reached a height that many armies in this era may not be able to reach in more than ten years in just three months.

The hard work of this time has indeed paid off, but is it just that it can easily defeat the current elite of the Green Battalion?

In this battle, Chen Wen's Nantang battalion sent only 500 troops, plus more than 20 temporary auxiliaries, while the Qing army had 800 soldiers from the left battalion and 200 soldiers from the right battalion, and the number of soldiers alone was twice that of the entire Nantang battalion. In addition, there are 1,500 auxiliary troops, although these auxiliaries cannot attack the fortifications and break the formation, but they can still fight a favorable battle, or serve as the last straw that breaks the camel's back when the strength of the two sides is equal, and this is only the strength of the troops.

Compared with the start of the "chariots, horses and artillery" such as the standard battalion, the Nantang battalion only has a "lame pony", not to mention the artillery, and even the armor of the infantry can barely equip half of the soldiers.

With such a big gap, if you add to the vastly different battlefield experience between the two coaches, the limited advantage of the Ming army is obviously not enough.

At the beginning of the battle, Chen Wen relied on the advantages of the Mandarin Duck Formation, as well as the targeted training formulated according to the customary combat methods of the army in this era, as well as the ambush soldiers who were ambushed on the flanks, and he really took advantage of the first collision. It was only when the Qing army retreated to adjust its own reaction that Chen Wen's disadvantage in battlefield experience was undoubtedly revealed.

The Qing army, which lost the first confrontation, immediately changed its tactics, not only completely changed its thinking in this short period of time, but also took out artillery that the Ming army did not have at all, even if it was just a small cannon that hit stones and iron sand, but it also caused unimaginable losses to the Ming army, not only the casualties in the previous battle, but also the psychological shock.

The strength of the troops is not as good as the people, the configuration of the troops is not as good as the people, the weapons and armor are not as good as the people, and the battlefield experience of the commander is even worse than the people, so should we admit defeat?

Never!

The troops are inferior to the people, the troop configuration is not as good as the people, the weapons and armor are not as good as the people, and the battlefield experience of the commander is still not as good as the people, but so what? On the battlefield, the most important thing is courage, and the brave wins, at this time!

The Flying Tiger Banner of the Nantang Camp followed the march of the standard-bearer who followed Chen Wen closely, waving in the breeze in the mountains.

At this moment, whether it is the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team, which is the backbone of the battle formation, or the auxiliary arms of the Nantang Battalion, such as the Chinese Army Firearms Team and the Chinese Army Cavalry Team, and even the soldiers of the Chinese Army Engineer Team, who have always been nicknamed "toy soldiers", are also following closely with hoes and shovels on their shoulders. In front of the banner of the Nantang battalion, Chen Wen held a sword and pointed at the Qing army in front of him, and even more so at Li Rong, the commander of the Qing army behind them and the deputy general of the left battalion.

"Li Rong, your Raised Left Battalion is the elite of the Green Battalion that has been in the army for more than ten years, but my Nantang Battalion is the invincible heroic division that was copied from decades ago!"

"Li Rong, your troops, weapons and equipment are much stronger than what I have, but my subordinates and I are willing to fight to the end for the well-being of those people behind you!"

"Li Rong, I have much more battlefield experience than me, but I know very well the suffering that the Chinese people have gone through in the next three hundred years on the land of China, so I can sacrifice myself in order to rewrite history!"

"At the moment, you have the advantage of artillery, but my soldiers and I also have the courage to advance against artillery fire, what else do you have?!"

The war drums of the attack did not cease for a moment, and this drum would not stop until the moment before the Nantang battalion launched its final charge.

At this moment, the Nantang battalion was still under the leadership of Chen Wen, taking firm steps towards the artillery position of the Qing army, and although the Qing army on the opposite side had begun to load, it was already a little hurried under the pressure brought by the Ming army's approaching step by step.

The artillery tactics of the Qing army were initially effective, but the Ming army immediately showed its desperate side, which made the soldiers of the Qing army very uneasy, and the most direct and profound bear all this are these Qing gunners who are at the forefront. In addition, the phenomenon of artillery bombing in this era was not uncommon, so the Qing army also arranged its own infantry in the rear while shelling the Ming army, in order to prevent accidental injury, but this behavior also exacerbated the uneasiness of the Qing artillery.

There is a strong enemy approaching step by step, but the reinforcements behind are afraid to avoid it, such a situation, even if they know that before the Ming army rushes up, they definitely have absolutely enough time to fire a cannon, these Qing gunners still can't help but be nervous.

It is human nature to cherish life, but on the battlefield, such a person's common sense still caused the Qing artillery to start frequent operation mistakes under nervous emotions, just like those Ming gunners and gunners who were lured by the Qing army to open artillery, and even the speed could not help but slow down.

Chen Wen didn't care about these at this moment, whether the gunners of the Qing army made mistakes in a hurry, it didn't matter to him anymore, he would lead the charge when the Qing army opened the artillery, and he would lead the charge if the Qing army did not open the artillery, as long as the current Qing army was defeated, it would be impossible for the reserves and auxiliaries under his command to block the offensive of the Nantang battalion.

The short distance of fifty paces seemed to have passed a thousand years, until the Nantang battalion entered the Qing artillery position, which was only twenty steps away from the Qing artillery position, and the loader who was facing Chen Wen was so nervous that he only poured a small half of the stone into it, and immediately couldn't wait to say that he had completed the loading. At this time, the Qing army officer in charge of the artillery did not wait for the other tiger squat artillery, and immediately ordered the artillery to be fired.

Seeing that the gunner of the tiger squat cannon facing him pressed the torch on the fire door, Chen Wen did not dodge, but just closed his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the line from a novel he had read in his early years - puff up your chest! That's just shells!

Yes, that's just some pebbles fired from a tiger cannon!

At this moment, with the sound of a cannon "boom", Chen Wen only felt as if his chest was pushed backwards by a huge force, and the whole person almost fell to the ground. Staggered back two steps, Chen Wen only felt that a fishy sweetness in his mouth almost wanted to spurt out, but this was above the battle array, since Liu Bang could falsely claim that it was only a toe that was shot, he had no reason to spit out this mouthful of blood.

Forcibly swallowed this mouthful of blood, when Chen Wen, who was holding back the pain in his chest, raised his head again, he could no longer see the Qing army's tiger squat cannon, which was not only caused by the smoke of gunpowder, but also because there were already two players resolutely blocking him at this moment.

"Boom ......"

At this moment, a series of cannons rang out one after another, and before Chen Wen could react, the two players had already crashed to the ground in this piece of stone and iron sand.

With the screams of the wounded and the wails of the dying in front of him, and in front of him were the two loyal warriors who died to protect him.

The smoke of gunpowder shrouded a large area of the battlefield in front of the artillery position of the Qing army, and in the smoke of gunpowder, it was not only choking, but also could not see the five fingers. After Chen Wen entered the smoke of gunpowder, he rushed there with the position that was vaguely left in his mind before the Qing army ran away.

A moment later, Chen Wen, who was moving forward quickly, vaguely saw a figure. Seeing this, I saw him jump up, and the whole person rushed to the front of a Qing gunner in the moment of rushing out of the gunsmoke, and slashed at the body of the guy with a sword, cutting him to the ground. His feet were about to hit the ground, and he immediately pounced on a loader next to him......

Between the rise and fall of the rabbits, the stunned Qing artillery was cut down by Chen Wen one after another, but before the Qing army could react, the mandarin duck array of the Nantang battalion also walked out of the gunpowder smoke with still firm steps.

Only a moment later, these Nantang battalion mandarin duck array killer team quickly crossed the artillery position of the entire Qing army, and after killing the Qing army who did not have time to escape, Chen Wen was wrapped in as soon as the formation was closed, and then under the command of Wu Dengke, the commander of the Qianzong who led the four sentinels of A, B, C and Ding, they formed a formation and rushed towards the Qing army.

This time, the Nantang battalion did not meet the enemy with the big three talent formation, but directly showed the small three talent formation, with the wolf player in the front of the two teams, the pikemen on the left and right, the player guarding the outside and the boring palladium hand linking the inside. The Xiaosancai formation is conducive to attacking, and the Nantang Battalion at this moment is in an offensive posture both in terms of momentum and combat purpose, and the Xiaosancai formation is at this time!

On the right flank of the first outpost, the fourth killer team of the Mandarin Duck Formation fearlessly advanced against the archers of the Qing army, after crossing the artillery position, the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were actually very close to each other, and the archers of the Qing army only had time to shoot a round before the Ming army rushed to the rear of the formation, and the Qing infantry that reappeared in front of the Ming army was worthy of passive engagement with pikemen, and even the Qing troops in the front row were still grinding backwards, and there was no more courage before.

"Kill!"

Carrying the artillery fire and bows and arrows of the Qing army to the front of the battle, An Youfu, who was very angry, pounced at the moment of engagement, and with the assistance of his old partner Ding Keji, he immediately stabbed a Qing spearman to death on the spot. It's just that even so, the breath of energy he was holding back still accumulated in his chest, which led him to continue to assassinate the current Qing army.

The Mandarin Duck Formation is originally an advancing formation, but in order to ensure the integrity of the formation, every soldier who attacks forward must return to the original position in the formation after killing the current opponent, so as to be fully prepared. The players who push the formation forward in different changes are also very different, but generally speaking, it is still dominated by long players and wolf players, after all, such weapons are easier to cooperate with defense, and the forward sharpness will not be easily bruised.

"Kill!"

Another shot was stabbed, although it was the first time to go into battle to kill the enemy, but An Youfu was very intoxicated with this feeling, not only the touch of the knife and gun, but also the sense of mission of "cutting down the way with the way" as Mr. Storyteller said. At this moment, he was already completely intoxicated, but he forgot all about recovering the formation, and after killing several people, he went beyond the cover range of his team's wolf fighters, and rushed into the crowd of the Qing army in a daze.

Suddenly, just as An Youfu was trying his best to assassinate the Qing army in front of him, the two Qing army spearmen around him immediately gave up their original goal and turned to attack him, the more brave Ming army.

An Youfu's marksmanship is to become a monk halfway, and although he is quite good at assassination, he is a little powerless to fight to the death alone. Soon, under the frantic attacks of the two Qing troops, An Youfu only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back, and the patients had to retreat after several comparisons.

The body was retreating, An Youfu had to constantly parry the attacks of the Qing army, although the distance he advanced was not much, but while walking backwards, he had to resist the attacks of the two Qing troops, so it was difficult to take care of the back road.

At this time, another sword and shield soldier of the Qing army chose to target him, and taking advantage of the old momentum of An Youfu's spear, he immediately shook his blade with his shield and went straight into it with a single sword!

Seeing this, An Youfu immediately took a big step back, but tripped over a trap that had not yet been filled and fell to the ground, and even sprained the foot that had been broken last time.

Seeing that the three Qing troops were coming, An Youfu, who was sprained and fell to the ground, had no physiology, and a figure suddenly rushed over, holding a waist knife and a spear with boring palladium.

But just when he was rejoicing, the other spearman turned to target Ding Keji, who was trying his best to protect An Youfu, but at this time, An Youfu was still on the ground, and Ding Keji's boring palladium was still struggling to parry the attacks of the other two Qing troops. I saw that the spearman of the Qing army stabbed out, but it stabbed Ding Keji in the abdomen.

The severe pain came, and Ding Keji did not throw down his weapon to grab the spear, but raised his last strength to push the blade back, but when the Qing army pulled out the spear with his backhand, Ding Keji no longer had the strength to stand and fell straight to the ground.

"Third Brother Ding!"

Ding Keji, who was covering the wound with one hand, was obviously injured in his internal organs, and he vomited a mouthful of blood before he could respond to An Youfu's call.

"Brother An, I'm afraid that the foolish brother can't do it, help me ......"

At the moment when Ding Keji fell to the ground, as the Ming army continued to advance, An Youfu's wolf warriors finally marched to the front and began to suppress the Qing army that had just severely damaged Ding Keji. At this time, another pikeman of the Qing army was facing An Youfu, who was listening to Ding Keji's last words.

The wolf warrior was still struggling to suppress the pikeman who had stabbed Dinkji, while the other team members and even the captain were cooperating with each other to attack the other Qing troops, and since the fourth killer team had also stood out from the front, An Youfu had no more soldiers by his side.

Just as the spearman of the Qing army stabbed An Youfu with all his might, a stick slapped on the face of the Qing army, and the Qing army was completely knocked to the ground in that instant.

"Brother An, what's wrong with Third Brother Ding?!"

Hearing the question of Shi Daniu, the firefighter of the team, An Youfu, who was in tears, gently put Ding Keji, who had died of anger, on the ground, wiped away the tears on his face, stood up with a spear, and then shouted to Shi Daniu: "Big stone, Third Brother Ding is dead, let's go to avenge him!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Daniu, who had already begun to cry bitterly, immediately picked up the pointed flat pole in his hand, and rushed towards the Qing army with a limp An Youfu......

The frontal Qing army was defeated and retreated under the attack of the frantically attacking Nantang battalion, and the fate of being defeated was obviously doomed, and the rest was only a matter of time.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Chen Wen, who was holding his chest with one hand and holding the ground with his sword with the other, could no longer support it, and fell to the ground as soon as his legs became weak.
