Chapter 390: Strangling Hero
"Stride forward, assassination!!"
In order to keep the formation tight, the movement of the phalanx soldiers was carried out in unison to the rhythm of the drums, and on the battlefield, the spear squadron was used as a castle that could move slowly, and the fire used to strike the enemy was the fire gun.
Now because of several setbacks, the fire gun is already shooting at the bow and arrow, and both sides are in the effective range, the fire gun has no advantage at all, and the protection of the fire gun is lost, and the spear array is directly exposed to the opponent's bow and arrow shooting.
In this case, the idea of moving neatly and focusing on the group may not be correct, and the most important thing is to drive away these troublesome Mongolian shooters in front of you.
The distance between the body and the body between friend and foe was more than thirty paces, but with the length of the spear, the tip of the spear was only a dozen or twenty paces away from the Mongol archer.
At present, these Mongolian archers are constantly gathered over, dismounted and shot, but also layered, almost fixed where not moving, and ten people and nine people shoot arrows, one person leads the horse to make a horse stake, and it is not flexible, if you don't rush forward, I am afraid that you will be shot alive.
The battalions and thousands of generals always gave loud orders, spears pointed flat, braved the rain of arrows, and rushed over in great strides, in the distance of more than twenty paces, people continued to fall under the rain of arrows, but the gap that fell was immediately filled by the soldiers who followed behind, in such a situation, surrounded by the enemy on all sides, and it was the other party who had the upper hand and was killing. Such a situation can already be said to be a desperate situation, if it is other Ming troops, I am afraid that the entire team will collapse, and they can only wait to be slaughtered.
However, the education and training of the officers and men of the Jiaozhou battalion did not make them think so, and their first reaction was to fight, even if I died, it would be enough.
After four rounds of rapid shooting, the shooters' shoulders and arms were a little tight, and they needed a little rest, and the Mongolian shooters of the Tartars had no idea that the opponent would actually raise their spears to kill. This round of arrows, the fatigue of the arms and the panic of the mood all made this round of arrows shoot slower.
But how much time can it take for a distance of more than a dozen steps, and in a blink of an eye, it is already in front of it, and now the spearmen of the Dengzhou army can remember what spear swings less, which can save strength, and they are all gritting their teeth at this time. According to the training action of assassination, stab forward fiercely, of course, it is indispensable to add momentum to "kill".
The outer edges of several sides of the Dengzhou army were almost the first to make the order to rush forward and assassinate, and the position of the shooter's position was also about the same, almost at this moment, the sound of "killing" sounded one after another, and at this moment, almost all the sounds on the battlefield were drowned.
The Mongol archer wore a robe of the earth, which was used for spear assassination. There is no protection. Even if it is on the Mongolian Eight Banners. Except for a few nobles. The rest of the people are nothing more than leather armor. This kind of armor. There is also no obstacle to spear stabbing.
The shouts of killing were loud. Then there was a large number of screams. How archers with bows and arrows can compete with spearmen stabbing them. Even in the second row, the shooters took out scimitars and spears from their horses. But compared to the Jiaozhou battalion, this kind of group attack and assassination. It doesn't play a role in fighting back.
When the second shout rang out. Behind the square positions the phalanx. The Mongol Eight Banners and the Mongol cavalry had already retreated. Desperately rode away from the horse. But in a hurry, he couldn't get the reins in the hands of the "horse stake". I had to run on foot to the periphery. But it also clashed with those horseback riding. The scene was a mess.
The situation is better on the right. Except for the first row of dismounted archery. The back rows were all stopped, and horses were shooting indiscriminately on their horses. A retreat is also fast.
But the left wing is here. After the Mongol archers were assassinated by the spear soldiers of the Jiaozhou camp. Someone runs. But there were still people who drew bows and shot arrows to fight back. Or rush up with a short knife and spear in hand-to-hand combat.
Dengzhou military ground advance. At first, it was a little scattered. Because of the weekday training and the rhythm of the drums. Gradually, the columns became horizontal again. Start with a front line against the line.
The power of a ranged weapon can only be wielded in conjunction with a distance, in this state of melee hand-to-hand combat. That's the dish ravaged by spears.
After the fall of many Mongol shooters. On the left flank, however, there is some space, and now there are no Mongolian foot soldiers who dare to fight hard. They all eagerly turned over and got on their horses, quickly leaving the killing range of these Ming army madmen, but to the surprise of these spearmen who stood out, the archers who got on the horse went around in a small circle and actually turned back again.
At such a close distance, the horses couldn't rush up at all, compared with the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army who barely had a formation, these Mongolian horse teams could attack, it was really limited, not much easier than when they were shooting on foot, they couldn't get closer, they got a little closer, but they were stabbed off their horses.
The sun is more westerly, on the plain, the sun is even more unobstructed, the spearmen of the Dengzhou army are a few people who began to feel a little troublesome, the sunlight from the gap in the enemy queue is facing the eyes, it is too dazzling, a little farther away opponents, looking at the black blur.
In order to maintain the stability of the entire large formation, it was impossible for the infantry phalanx on the left flank to pursue it with one battalion or two battalions, that is, several rows on the outer edge of the perimeter came out, and the entire phalanx seemed to have suddenly expanded, as if the thorns of a hedgehog suddenly shot out.
The burden that was about to come up and wrap was suddenly stabbed with a thousand holes, and it was not in a state of encirclement at all, and the spearmen and officers at the forefront were all relieved, and the Mongolian shooters in front of them were obviously defeated, at least in this wave of offensive, although the Dengzhou army suffered heavy losses, but after all, it still repelled this wave.
At the end of the strong crossbow, people with a little culture in the Dengzhou military camp thought of this word, which can also be used to say that Mongolian soldiers, but it seems more appropriate to say that Dengzhou army.
Directly ahead, the Han Eight Banners and the Han soldiers of the Sanshun Wang, who were swept away by firearms, as well as the Korean firecrackers, finally retreated from this entangled situation, and Zhao Neng also controlled the troops in his hands, but the frontal offensive never stopped, and the Mongolian light cavalry that had rested for a long time began to gather again, ready to charge.
Looking at Abatai's posture, he didn't want the Jiaozhou battalion to have any respite, so he had to use a certain amount of strength to contain the other party, so that the front of the opponent's strongest strength could not move.
Zhao Neng, the general of the Dengzhou Army, had red eyes, he obviously had a lot of power in his hands now, but he was constrained by the other party's method of squeezing with force. There was a lot of pressure on the surrounding ground, but the soldiers and horses in the center could not be rotated, because the formation was too tightly squeezed, and it was extremely difficult to rotate between battalions.
And in the current situation, a large number of cavalry on the periphery are roaming in search of gaps, and there is a slight difficulty in rotation. There will be a possibility that the other party will catch the gap and break in, which will be a complete collapse.
This is a bitter battle, but also a bloody battle, Zhao Neng just wants to concentrate on finding a way to completely repel the Tartar offensive in front of him, so that he can have time to mobilize forces to rotate and make up for it.
Zhao Neng's spirit is still very stable, and he is still doing the job of a general, but the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army and some officers. It's always been the state in training, and the first time they went to the battlefield, they fought so hard for a long time, but they couldn't stand it anymore.
At this time, they can still fight. But the mental state can also be described as fragile, a string is very tight, and if it is strengthened again, it will be broken, although in all directions, the extended foot soldiers bravely kill out.
The foot soldiers of the Dengzhou army on the left flank were very uncomfortable from the afternoon sun that pierced their eyes, but fortunately, in this courageous assault, the Mongolian light cavalry on the periphery was dispersed, and only corpses remained in front of the spears.
No one noticed, the entire battlefield. The Mongol cavalry brigade in the outer circle had already stopped, and at this time it was also divided into four directions, either hanging or attacking.
On the left flank, the Dengzhou army continued to stab and kill, and the soldiers were currently in a state similar to that of the Mongol shooters who had just shot sharply, and they needed a short rest to have enough strength and better fighting to continue the fight.
The frequent drumming, horn, and whistle above the battlefield had stopped at this time. Only the rhythm drums and suona of the Jiaozhou battalion were still ringing to mobilize troops.
Suddenly, two extremely sharp whistles sounded, sounding like the sound of a falconry bone flute, even in such a noisy battlefield, it made people feel very harsh.
When the Mongolian cavalry in front of them heard this shrill whistle, they all retreated in a hurry towards the side as if they were amnesty......
Could it be that the Tartars couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to withdraw, and the Dengzhou Army foot soldiers who killed them all thought so. I felt a burst of relief in my heart. But after the sound of the horses' hooves was scattered, a muffled sound like thunder could be heard. The soldiers of the Dengzhou army heard such a sound in the fog, and later learned that it was the movement of a large number of horse formations, but since the battle began, that is, when the Mongolian horse team circled, there was this movement, and what was the reason for this at this time.
The sudden withdrawal of the Mongolian light cavalry made the vision of the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army on the left flank suddenly become wider, and the sun in the west shot over without any obstruction, everyone subconsciously closed their eyes, and when they opened it again, it was slightly squinted, and in the direction of the low sound on the opposite side, it seemed that there was a wall moving slowly, and the degree of movement was accelerating.
Looking at things in the light, the oncoming things are farther away, almost only a silhouette, a black piece, seeing this "wall", the most advanced Dengzhou army infantry felt that the entire battlefield had become quiet, and some people forced to open their eyes to see what was on the other side.
"It's a Tartar!! It's a horse team of Tartars!! ”
In the Jiaozhou battalion, there is a very clear division of the combat power of the Qing ** team outside the pass, the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners and the Three Shun Kings are the second-class, the Mengba Banners are one level higher, and the strongest is the Manchurian Eight Banners.
The troops called the "Tartars", that is, the Jurchen Eight Banners, were considered to be the strongest troops, and this distinction was of course to make the soldiers pay attention to it and not slack off.
But on today's battlefield, the so-called strongest Full Eight Banners horse team did not appear until this time, the soldiers just after a hard fight, are a little tired, at this time to use this inappropriate analogy, it is the state of exhaustion of the old force, the state of the new force is not born, the so-called strongest enemy happens to appear, the psychological shock is really too great.
And the foot soldiers are facing the sun, and it is also a little difficult to see things, and the fight just now makes the front and rear teams a little disconnected. Not to mention the physical exhaustion and psychological cringe.
When the horse team of the Jurchen Eight Banners attacked, it was placed in the weakest state of the Dengzhou army, both physically and psychologically.
And looking at the state of the Manchurian horse team, before the Mongolian light cavalry dispersed, maybe the horse team of the Jurchen Eight Banners had already begun to run, and the degree of horses gradually increased.
Directly opposite the left flank. There were two Jurchen cavalry formations, and the horizontal column of these two squares was almost the same width as the left flank, and the cavalry were close to each other, controlling the horse steps, slowly adding forward, their impact and the sun in one direction.
The Jurchen cavalry in the front row, in the eyes of the Dengzhou army's foot soldiers, seemed to be a black earth demon, pounced with teeth and claws. The movements of both people and horses are very neat, and the horses' hooves are stepping on the ground in unison, which is naturally different from the scattered ones of Fang Cai.
The sound closes as the distance closes. Like a muffled thunder that was constantly approaching, the weapons used by the Tatar Jurchen cavalry when charging into battle were also riding spears, which were much shorter in length than the spears of the Jiaozhou battalion, but they were also enough to kill.
When all the Mongolian cavalry in front of them dispersed, on the right side of the Mongolian soldiers' horizontal row, someone shouted in Jurchen dialect, and some people in the array catered to each other loudly, and the originally erected riding spears were flattened, and the horses moved faster.
"Flat spear. Rejection !! "Back to the original queue array, back to the original queue array!!"
The soldiers who rushed out were a little panicked in the face of the Jurchen cavalry that was rushing over, and at the moment they were not in a neat formation, but out of touch. The cavalry of the opposing ground is also a square team, and the legs of the cavalry between the horses and the horses even bump into each other, such a dense square team, and it is also a square team that has accumulated strength for a long time, and the momentum and strength are extremely terrifying. With these soldiers rushing out in front of the Dengzhou army, the thin array must be unable to resist.
However, some of the officers in front made this judgment, while others made another judgment, believing that with the ground array in front, they could completely withstand it.
There was already a contradiction between the orders of the officers of the Dengzhou Army, and the soldiers were even more helpless.
It was originally a covert charge, and the untidy defensive front was even more disastrous. The degree of the Full Eight Banners Horse Team is constantly accelerating. But they are still adjusting their positions to ensure that the entire array is not scattered. The first few rows of Tartar cavalry were all wearing foam studded cotton armor and pointed leather helmets, and the cavalry spears in their hands had been flattened and gradually pressed over.
Seeing the Jurchen cavalry rushing in front of him, he looked at his comrades-in-arms, the existing people were running in the direction of their own formation, but they were flat spears in front of them.
Seeing such a scene on the battlefield, it is inevitable that you will think that you are abandoned by your comrades, or you feel that your confidence in rejecting the enemy is not strong, and on the battlefield, such a psychological state is the most taboo.
What the infantry relied on to resist the charge of the enemy's cavalry was to rely on the will, morale and solid formation of the soldiers to resist, and now the morale and will were chaotic, and they could not act in unison, and things were indeed unfolding in a catastrophic direction, and only one team remained in place to make a gesture of rejecting horses.
The Tartar horse team that rushed up did not have the slightest intention of adding or adjusting, and directly crashed into this queue, in this kind of cavalry team where the men and horses were very close together, it was extremely difficult for the cavalry in it to turn, and the entire brigade could only move in one direction.
It was basically impossible for the cavalry that collided with the spear to turn or dodge, and the spear team of about six rows, the thickness was not enough, and it was extremely thin, and the cavalry team that pressed forward collided, and the spears of the first and second rows did have the cavalry that pierced the horse, but the damage was nothing more.
The spears in the first and second rows still have gaps, and the soldiers on the horses can even make movements to dodge, and if it is a solid phalanx, the spears in the back row will be assassinated.
But the cavalry that pressed over was caught by the arrays on both sides, and could not turn at all, and the horses crashed into the soldiers of the first and second rows without hindrance, and the cavalry of the Jurchen horse team was so dense that it crashed into one of them, as if the strength of the entire horse team had collided with it.
The stressed soldier couldn't withstand such a huge force at all, and his body crashed into the back, if it was in the same formation as before, he could withstand it, but the depth of the six rows was too thin. The retreat of the soldiers in the front row directly scattered the entire formation.
The squad that rejected the horse, the first wave of contact, was rushed across by the horse team full of eight banners, and dispersed in an instant, and several Tartar cavalry also fell off the horse, but no one paid attention. Even the small group of Dengzhou troops who were scattered and crushed were also ignored.
But they couldn't survive, they were trampled into meat by the war horses, and after rushing through this team, someone in the Eight Banners Horse Team took out a copper whistle and put it in their mouths, blowing desperately, and the sharp sound was loud again, and the Eight Banners Horse Team that rushed forward paused slightly.
It was only a slight pause, but the whole team suddenly began to attack, and the team intercepted it. It didn't serve to intercept at all, or it was just a pause.
Horses must be faster than people, not to mention that these Dengzhou soldiers who were in a hurry to run towards their own camp still had spears in their hands. Their retreat was always inseparable from the Jurchen cavalry brigade behind, and when they ran to their own formation, they had to turn around and align the formation, and they must not be aligned in a hurry, and there was a brief confusion.
The Tartar Land cavalry team may have been waiting for this opportunity, and at this moment when the chaos was not aligned, the cavalry team directly collided with it.
Looking directly at the dazzling sunlight, the soldiers' reactions themselves were a little slower, and the firecrackers had already lost a lot. The inability to form an effective blockade, the combination of various circumstances, was an extremely unfavorable factor for the right flank of the Dengzhou army, plus this morale-filled Tartar cavalry formation.
The three battalions on the left flank were all scattered by the cavalry at this moment, and the phalanx of the Dengzhou army always seemed to be a cube with a hard shell.
With the advance and retreat maneuvers of the Mongolian horse archers, he knocked out the shells on several of them, and then aimed a little, on the side where the Dengzhou army had the most unfavorable factors. Open a gap as much as possible, and then hit the Jurchen Eight Banners Horse Team with a heavy blow with a long-term accumulation, which is like smashing this small gap with a sledgehammer.
There are cracks where there is a gap, and when a heavy external force hits it, the crack will expand, and the whole solid cuboid will be shattered.
When the phalanx is completely solid, there is no problem, the coordination of the musketeers and spearmen, including the quality of the infantry of the Jiaozhou battalion. Resist the onslaught of cavalry. But at the moment, the unarmored firecrackers suffered heavy losses, and the spearmen were also killed and wounded by close archery. Several battalions were already crippled.
In the battle of Fangcai, because of the lack of long-range firepower, he went out to fight with the archers, and was forced to be disjointed, and the angle and direction of the sunlight were small problems, and this kind of land planting was a deliberate move, just to open the gap here
On the front are two large square teams, with eighty people in horizontal rows, five rows in each team, a total of four teams, with the Mongolian Eight Banners and Mongolian stragglers constantly circling in circles, covering the line of sight, attracting attention, using infantry and firearms to entangle the main force in front, arranging forces on the left flank, suddenly moving.
The rush of a large cavalry squadron directly crashed into the infantry phalanx of the Dengzhou army, and several battalions on the periphery, which were already incomplete, were directly scattered.
There are enemies of different strength and weakness in the four directions, and it is impossible to draw forces from any direction to come to support, and the real damn thing is that the Jurchen cavalry ranks are basically blocked from the possibility of routing, and the foot soldiers of the Dengzhou army who are constantly forced to retreat are either trampled to death by horses, or forced to run inside.
The infantry soldiers who kept retreating and scattering made it impossible for the infantry phalanx inside to organize an effective defense, the musketeers were all in the outermost extension, and the internal battalion was full of spears, but the infantry were pressed by the cavalry team that seemed to be a wall and fled inward, and the already dense array was even more crowded, and in this situation, the infantry spears could not even be put down.
Forming a formation, facing the charge of the cavalry, it was collective to collective, but now it was a person facing the opposite mountain of cavalry, the recruits of the Dengzhou Army faced the Tartar cavalry team that pressed over, and they were terrified in their hearts, the enemy was approaching, they wanted to fight, but now there was no formation for them to rely on, no comrades to cover, they abandoned their spears, ran backwards, and collided with the people behind. The battalion line disintegrated like sand washed by water, and the front was full of panicked screams, and the entire phalanx began to disintegrate from the left flank
The heralds placed on the left flank frantically beat their horses to the central army, but they couldn't get up quickly on the way to run, because the space outside the phalanx was already compressed and very cramped.
You can see that on the left flank, one battalion after another is constantly losing its formation, and the soldiers are becoming more and more scattered. But for the Jurchen cavalry and the Mongol cavalry, this was the gap that opened. Vaguely in the smoke and dust, I could see that the Jurchen cavalry was moving towards the left flank, constantly throwing in strength, about to make this gap bigger and bigger, until the whole formation collapsed.
In the center are the Jurchen cavalry charging in a cavalry formation. On the side, a large number of Mongolian cavalry responded as a strategy, like a sledgehammer, which had already found the target, picked it up with all its might, and then smashed it down, while the infantry battalion of the Dengzhou Army was constantly being washed out in a crowded and narrow space.
In fact, later, it was not the Jurchen cavalry of the Tartars who really attacked the phalanx, but the Dengzhou army itself. Some of these soldiers dropped their weapons and more often held their spears, even if they were slowed down by the weapon. Knocked down by the cavalry behind him.
But with the spear, most people didn't know to go to that side to assassinate, because in front of them were their comrades, and the spear more than ten feet long could not even be stretched out horizontally in this crowded space, but had to be erected, and they had to stumble and be crowded backwards.
In those battalions that were not yet in disarray, the soldiers could no longer put down their spears, because the people were crowded together and made a mess.
The Mongol cavalry on the left flank and behind the besieging the Dengzhou army continued to break up because of the continuous collapse of the Dengzhou army array. It is possible to draw on the strength to join the front line of attack on the left flank and to join the forces against the left flank, and although the momentum of the collapse of the left flank is slow, this momentum is vicious.
"Lord Belle, we're about to win this battle!!"
The general Abatai was ordered to gently tap his palm with a horsewhip, and his demeanor finally became relaxed, but in the opinion of Turichen Belle on the side, the Mongolian cavalry and the Jurchen cavalry were confronting the Ming army on the opposite side, and those dejected servants and foot soldiers were only now retracted.
And the confrontation between the two armies on the battlefield. The corpses that were beaten by firearms were all over the field, blood and water flowed everywhere, obviously suffering a big loss, and the left flank of the other side used the Jurchen cavalry of the Megatron Grassland, but it seemed that it only had a slight upper hand, and the other directions were just stalemate.
In general, the two sides are at most a tie, strictly speaking. Even the Ming army had some upper hand. How can Fang Cai still take the matter seriously, and it is so easy to mobilize the troops and horses.
"The Ming army on the opposite side just relies on this formation and firearms to support, and there are two things. Don't look at the advantages of our Manchurian army, but we still have to fight hard, and whether we can beat it down is two words, but now I have consumed his firearms and broken his formation, what else does he have, and when the flanks collapse to the Chinese army, we will win a big victory today! ”
Although Korqin Belle Turichen is obedient to Abatai's words at the moment, he still does not understand the knowledge of this military formation, and he seems to understand it. At this moment, a herald's own soldier hurriedly rode over and whispered some news from Abatai.
The general Abatai was instructed to hold the whip in his hand and commanded in a loud voice:
"Meng Baqi scattered the formation forward, Daruhua, you lead your people to rush up, the firearms of the Ming soldiers are powerful, you have to spread the formation as much as possible, don't get off the horse and shoot when you get close, just get close to shoot arrows, listen carefully to my orders!"
An officer of the Eight Banners who had been beside him immediately bowed forward to receive the order, and was just about to turn around and return to the team, when Abatai said in a solemn voice behind him:
"Daruhua, don't be afraid of the dead, lead people close to fight, this general will first protect you with a future, if you fight well, I will add another one to you!"
The future is a great thing, many people and the glory and wealth of the whole family, are all relying on the various benefits brought by this future, in the previous battles on weekdays, even if it is a military general like a leader and a staff leader, it will be exciting to get the promise of half a future.
If Abatai was not the general who was ordered by Huang Taiji, I am afraid that the relatives of the Eight Banners would have turned their faces against him, but this battle was almost the hardest battle fought by the Manchu Qing Dynasty over the years, relatively speaking, the reward promised was not too exaggerated, and no one questioned it.
However, the promise of these two futures still made the military general of the Eight Banners, Daruhua, blush with excitement, made a big salute on his horse, and returned to his team with a whip on his mount.
After a while, the Mongolian horse team that had been cruising in front of it formed a little and rushed towards the front of Zhao Neng's location. When he was ordered to mobilize the Mongol horse team to attack, it was Zhao Neng who had a little spare time to transfer troops to the left flank to suppress the situation.
The queue of artillery and guns in the front row is still the strongest in the entire formation, even if the Mongolian horse team is not afraid to die, but the roar of artillery and guns can still resist this momentum. But this is not the time of the Bali Bridge many years later, nor is it the time when the flint spear is against the bow and arrow, and in the era when there are far more horseback archers than firearms, it may not be able to completely block the opponent's offensive.
If the other side takes advantage of this opportunity to attack and collapse, the only front that still has some advantages will collapse, it will be a complete loss, but if it does not move, and seeing the collapse of the left wing gradually spread, sooner or later the situation will be very bad.
As the Mongolian horse team continued to join the ranks attacking the left flank of the Dengzhou army. Almost six battalions on the left flank of the Dengzhou army had begun to break up, and the Jurchen horses of the Tatar land were constantly charging inside, but it was mainly these Mongol cavalry who killed people.
But. The six battalions were scattered, the enemy in the rear continued to move to the left flank, and the very cramped and narrow space that was originally squeezed by the enemy and himself began to become a little wider, and the soldiers gradually ran away, and the impact of the cavalry brigade could not have such a good effect.
If it is said that it is the other Ming army, the current situation is just the chaos before the defeat. It is definitely about to collapse, but for the troops of the Jiaozhou battalion, although everyone is panicking at this time, and several battalions are oppressed and collapsed, most of the soldiers are still thinking about how to continue fighting.
The Jiaozhou battalion is the place where these soldiers settle down, from here in Dongguang County, it does not take a day and a night to gallop on horseback, you can reach Shandong, Shandong has their hometown fathers, and there are industries that they have worked hard to accumulate over the years. and the status of a freedman who was hardly obtained, a military dependent.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou military and land, including officers and non-commissioned officers, were born in Tuntian, and the officers and non-commissioned officers relied on their merits and qualifications to obtain the status of free citizens, while the soldiers obtained the status of civilians because of the "Tuntian Military Household Change Policy" some time ago.
These officers and soldiers from the tuntian households, they have experienced the catastrophe and the government's urging, watching the hellish scene of their relatives starving to death beside them.
In the same way, they also experienced being taken in by the Tun Tien Grange in desperation. The ecstasy and hope that the whole family can live in.
No matter how they obtained their civilian status, the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou Battalion. They all know that as long as this system endures, their lives and those of their families will get better and better. Even living the civilian life in the past, these officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou camp have lost, so they will cherish it more and more.
If the army of Tartars is allowed to step on their bodies and directly enter Shandong, they will ruin their current lives and their hard-won lives.
And everyone understands that as long as the Tartars defeat their own troops and enter Shandong, they may not penetrate into Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou, but the Shandong military and civilian system that their own marshal and he has worked so hard to build will soon collapse.
Maybe it was the destruction of the Tartars, or maybe because of this defeat, other generals of the Ming Dynasty entered here, and it was even possible, because of this battle, the Shandong soldiers and horses lost their ability to deter others, and the army of displaced people or those who wanted to make trouble in the local area made trouble.
The good life they had so hard to get will disappear, and they will have to return to the life they had before they became soldiers, which is hell, worse than death.
Having such thoughts and wills does not mean that a recruit can perform enough on the battlefield to deal with the situation of Fang Cai, after the general running of headless flies, those foot soldiers who were lucky not to be caught up in the cavalry charge and kill, but gradually recalled.
At present, everyone knows that if the cavalry team is so rushed down by the Tartars, I am afraid that the whole situation will collapse, at this time someone has to stand up and call, at this time heroes are needed, but in the Ming army, there will never be such a person, only in the Jiaozhou battalion is possible, only in the Jiaozhou battalion is possible.
"I am Wang Tao, the third commander of the fifth battalion, and I am willing to kill the Tartars to stand beside me and line up with me as the benchmark!!
An officer shouted in the scattered panic crowd, standing there straight, axe and gun erected, his face full of determination and fortitude.
This general Wang Tao is the hero of this moment, because of his stepping forward, the stragglers who want to fight but don't know how to fight have found their own direction and reference point, and the left flank of the Dengzhou Army, which was originally like scattered sand, quickly gathered......
Your subscription and monthly pass are the driving force for Lao Bai to move forward, thank you for your support, thank you.
