If an eagle swept through the air at this moment, it could see the battlefield below, and the squares in it were still neat, but the cavalry on three sides around it suddenly tightened as if it were a big pocket.

Even if the Mongolian cavalry charged bravely and resolutely, the plakatan composed of more than 10,000 people in the Jiaozhou battalion was solid enough, with spears like forests and phalanxes like mountains, and it was not so easy to shake easily.

The Mongolian cavalry who rushed to the front screamed loudly, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion standing there also shouted loudly, and at this moment, the entire battlefield was full of shouts and killings from both sides, and even drowned out the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

The diffuse bow and arrow have a definite effect on the non-armor-piercing firecrackers, but the outermost soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion are basically half-armoured, and the felt hat on the top of the head is padded with iron plates, which plays the role of a helmet.

In the training and combat drills of the infantry ranks, the spearmen on the outermost front line must have at least half armor and helmets, and the musketeers themselves are very heavy.

Bows and arrows are very harmful to the musketeers, but they are not harmful to the spearmen, and they are already beating their horses and rushing up, and it is difficult to do anything more, and if the back row shoots again, it is more likely to accidentally hurt their companions than to shoot the enemy.

With such a huge and neat charge, every Mongolian soldier in it was full of enthusiasm, even in the steppe, such a battle had not appeared for decades.

The phalanx of infantry soldiers of the Ming army in front of him seemed to be in the bag, something at your fingertips, such a big offensive and pressure, it could be crushed immediately.

But this kind of squeezing impact actually made the Dengzhou Army's infantry queue more tight, because of the continuous contraction, the gap between the ranks became smaller and tighter.

When the horses were rejected, the first row of bows stepped forward, and the end of the spear was stuck in the earth. Step on it with your foot, the angle of the second row of spears is slightly higher, and so on.

The horse is not a machine, he is also a spiritual creature, and when he sees the many sharp blades in front of him that are shining with cold light, the horse must instinctively dodge. Moreover, the cavalry rushed into the formation, and rushed into the array of troops, and the first few rows of cavalry were basically a dead end, and the charging cavalry generally thought that when the opponent's foot soldiers faced the terrifying cavalry charge, they would instinctively dodge.

When the distance is about twenty paces to the spear line. Reacting quickly, the Mongol cavalry had already begun to adjust the position of their mounts. Even if it's a rush forward. The horses themselves will be reduced.

Can be layered. Slow down in the front row. The rear floor can still be squeezed up. I can't stop the mount at all......

In the midst of the shouts. The Mongol cavalry collided with the local formation of the Jiaozhou battalion. The Mongol soldiers also stretched their ground weapons as far forward as possible. But even if it's a cavalryman with a wooden spear. The length of this wooden spear is not as long as the spear of the Jiaozhou battalion. And there is a big difference in length.

Many horses rushed to their feet. The cavalry on their backs were not thrown off. It is to be in this state of unbalanced land with the horse. And the cavalry that couldn't stop the horses. It was the men and horses that crashed into the spear phalanx.

Right here and now. The shouts of the soldiers on both sides became the shouts of one side. One side screamed. The act of charging the Mongol cavalry into the ground itself looked more heroic. The cavalry stragglers charged in a combined force. Under the defense of the spear-wielding ground front. They can't do anything.

Crash into the ground. Even men and horses were stabbed into honeycomb eyes. People screamed. The horse neighed. Fell down in unison. Cavalry charged. If the infantry does not rout. The cavalry was to turn for the time being. Re-look for gaps and opportunities. But the scene in front of me rushed over violently. Hard-hitting.

The cavalrymen and horses that fell in front of the spear array, as well as those who crashed into the steel thorn bushes, became an obstacle to the rear row before the infantry phalanx of the Jiaozhou battalion, and the cavalry that was about to rush up from behind had to jump over the corpse of this companion. In this way, the ground slows down even more.

The power of the charge into the phalanx is even smaller. On the front line, the cart had also slightly squeezed and bent the spear line. But this time, the impact of the degree of speed and momentum was more violent, but it did not have a corresponding effect.

The spearmen of the Dengzhou army were not iron men, and although a knight and his mount were stabbed by a dozen spears, and the huge momentum was spread over a dozen spears, the soldiers on the opposite side could not bear it, and some of the spears were broken in the first charge.

The soldiers holding spears were so shocked by this force that they vomited blood, but the formation was too tight, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion who were injured had no strength to continue standing, but they still couldn't fall, because the soldiers in the back row and the front row were close together, supporting each other.

After the first and second waves of collision, the Mongolian cavalry in the back row also controlled the horses, and the momentum of the indomitable charge stopped very suddenly.

The attack just now was one in and one out, which had already caused heavy losses to the firecrackers of the Dengzhou army on the left, right, and rear sides, and it was a mess, and the Mongolian cavalry contained the momentum of the impact, and in the gap between the square and the square team, there were not too many people who loaded ammunition and came out to shoot.

However, the Mongol cavalry on the periphery retreated to a safe enough distance, and during this time, there were constantly people who were hit by the fire and fell off their horses screaming, but this time the distance was not that kind of absolute safety, but at the edge of the effective range, the courage of the Mongol cavalry slowly grew.

The Mongol cavalry surrounding the Dengzhou military formation gradually adjusted to the previous situation, forming a large circle from left to right.

The long horn sounded, and the Mongolian cavalry began to move again, and the troops around the Jiaozhou battalion ran slowly.

This large long column bypassed the battlefield in front of it, surrounded the Eight Banners, and the entire battlefield was surrounded by the Mongolian cavalry running in circles.

In the chaos of the front line, the cavalry team full of eight banners had already been assembled, and a vague arc was formed, half-encircling the battlefield in front of it.

At this time, the fleeing Korean firecrackers, and the defeated soldiers of the Han Eight Banners and the Sanshun King System were fleeing towards the periphery, but after rushing past Li Rui and Li Ruidi's direct troops who blocked them, there were still elite horse teams full of Eight Banners behind them, although the soldiers on these horse teams had not made any moves yet. But there was no mercy for the rout, just like the Dengzhou army, the Korean soldiers, the Han army of the Qing State, these servant troops had a natural fear of the Manchu pure Jurchen troops, and they were cut down like this, and the retreat was blocked.

They returned to the battlefield. There is no other way, and in this way, the already chaotic and abnormal battlefield will become even more unbearable.

Even if a few lucky people escaped the interception of the Jurchen cavalry, the Mongol cavalry on the periphery would not show mercy either, and they could not run out at all.

In desperation, the foot soldiers of these Tartar armies could only turn back and enter the battlefield, and the Jiaozhou battalion soldiers on the front front had already completed loading their ammunition, and when they saw the enemy returning, they were so disorganized. It was a good target, and the firearms commander had already given the order for free fire.

The firecrackers roared incessantly, and the enemy kept falling. But Zhao Neng became more and more anxious, the grassroots officers and soldiers of the front front did not know the situation of the other three fronts, the formation of about 1,000 people was already very large, Li Meng once had an estimate, under the condition that a commander was assisted by a herald, it was already the limit to directly command 20,000 people. Li Meng thought of his modern primary and secondary school days, when there were hundreds or less than 1,000 people on the playground, they already occupied a large part of the place, as a part of it. It's hard to see through this queue.

Therefore, his request to the officers below is that when the team reaches a certain size, you don't have to bow down to everything, and you must let go and let your own adjutant do something, which will be more effective.

At this time, the situation was like this, the firearms commander and the battalion commander in the front row did not know the battle situation in the other three directions, they just knew that they had achieved a big victory now, looking at this trend. It is very likely that it will be a rout, so when attacking, I always go forward with all my might, and I don't know how to keep my hands.

The team is gradually a little out of touch, Zhao Neng can also see this problem, but he can't stop it, he understands the overall situation, and he naturally sees it wider and farther than the officers below.

With such a chaotic strangulation in front of him, his side retreated slightly. The huge advantage that is currently close to winning could collapse in an instant. But the current situation, if we don't come up with a decision as soon as possible. Sooner or later, their own army will suffer, because the opponent's troops are cruising outside, and their own troops are trapped in this and passively beaten, and the Mongolian horse team has begun to charge, and the news reported from all over the place is comprehensive, and the casualty ratio is already about to be leveled.

"The front firecrackers, the first three rows shoot, the last two rows retreat, the cavalry team goes to the left flank to respond, and the spear phalanx responds forward!!"

Zhao Neng must be adjusted, if the formation is not moved, the remaining three directions will be in danger of collapse sooner or later, and there will be a long-range attack without firearms, so that the infantry line can withstand the impact of the cavalry so hard, this is an extremely dangerous thing, and the consequences can be imagined.

While making adjustments, a short horn sounded in all directions, and the Mongol cavalry, which was slowly circling in circles, suddenly turned again and rushed towards the inner circle.

Now, the firecrackers are not so dense, and this time the Mongolian cavalry did not think about rushing at first, but just shot the arrows in their hands as much as possible.

This time, the remaining firecrackers outside were able to fire the firearms in their hands, but there were still many arrows that shot into the spear team.

If it is said that the other armies of the Ming Dynasty, even if there is such a strict queue, covered by such a rain of arrows, it will also suffer huge casualties, and the formation may collapse immediately, but for the Jiaozhou battalion, there is also a way that is not a way, the first few rows of soldiers with armor are bowing their heads, and the soldiers in the back are leaning the spears forward slightly, and then shaking, the ash pole is a spear with a wooden handle, which is very flexible, plus the length of the spear, shake up, and the swing amplitude of the spear tip is very large. 、

Such a dense spear is shaking, in fact, it also forms a fan, and the fan of the entire square team is combined, and the effect of resisting defense is quite considerable.

What's more, the Mongolian cavalry on the periphery did not dare to get too close, and they also had to guard against the shooting of the firecrackers, although it had become scattered, but there was still a threat, and they had just rushed into battle, and the momentum of the Jiaozhou Battalion Dengzhou Army was quite amazing, and it was a great psychological shock to the Mongolian cavalry who were part of the herdsmen.

If you can't get close, you can only use back shots. After all, the distance of shooting like this is farther, but the elevation angle archery, and the soft bow of the herdsman's land, the degree and strength are not too strong, and under such a defense, the lethality is reduced to a very low level.

Drums, horns, and shrill whistles. Frequently sounded on the battlefield, this was not the password of the Jiaozhou battalion, but the contact and order of the Tartar army.

With such frequent orders and codes, there must be a big military operation, but the Dengzhou army didn't know what the other party was going to do, and the more nervous they became, the only way to deal with it was to tighten the formation.

The three-thirds of the firecrackers in front of them had already begun to maneuver in the other three directions, adding long-range strike power, after firing a round of arrows. The Mongol cavalry was also knocked off their horses by the firearms, and they retreated out of range again, but this time they did not continue to circle around.

The spear squad took the initiative to move forward. began to respond to the firecrackers who were about to retreat, the Korean firecrackers, the Han Eight Banners and the soldiers of the Sanshun King were already mixed together at this time, and they were in a mess, they were scurrying around like headless flies, but they were still pressed forward by the Mongolian horse team and the Jurchen horse team behind them.

The gunners on the front line of the Dengzhou Army could not be pulled off in a hurry, and the artillery team, which had already withdrawn to a safe place, retreated again, and after the barrel was stuffed into the medicine bag, it did not continue to stuff the shells, but stuffed into a package of about the same size. shouted the trumpet, and pushed to the front again.

Seeing that the artillery that seemed to be the Grim Reaper was pushed to the front again, the rebels pushed me and squeezed me, desperately retreating to the back, but those people behind were driven forward with swords The soldiers who were driving forward again had to move forward desperately, and they were frozen there for a while, and the commander of the artillery team looked at the distance and couldn't help frowning.

The rebels were forced out of the range of the firearms, as if there was some invisible barrier. Because they know that if they enter this range, the only end is death.

"Push forward, push forward, and get our brethren with firecrackers out of here!!"

In the Jiaozhou battalion, the gunners and artillerymen, who were also firearms units, did not look at each other very well, and in such a situation in front of them, it was difficult to ensure that the commander of the artillery team would not say a few words of ridicule, and the firearms commander behind him almost crooked his nose in anger. But there's no other way. Zhao Neng's side had already given an order, and the firecrackers must withdraw in time. However, before withdrawing, it was necessary to provide cover for the advancing artillery team.

It's a big talk, but it's too stupid for ten guns to rush to the front like this, and the firecrackers must provide support and cover.

The artillery with iron wheels, and the relatively light three-pounder and six-pounder guns, were pushed by more than a dozen people on the side, and the degree was indeed not slow.

Soon, it was dozens of steps forward, and those chaotic routs also felt that these people in front of them were not stupid, and the chaotic infantry soldiers who were facing these artillery pieces were so that they were covered by these ten artillery pieces and artillery, and the guns behind them could not hit themselves, so they could use this to pick up cheap.

The ten guns were very close to each other, and the muzzles were all flat forward, and before these chaotic soldiers could make a decision, the commander of the artillery team had already stopped the artillery, and after a little arrangement, he gave the order to fire loudly.

The fire of the artillery of the Jiaozhou battalion was much faster than that of the guns in the Tartar army, and before the other side could react, the ten guns were already firing in a volley.

The metal fragments and lead sand that burst out of the barrel formed a death zone in front of the battle, and the Dengzhou military ground artillery used shotguns, which was a real slaughter, and all the Tartar foot soldiers in front of the ten guns were torn to pieces by this metal storm.

After being shot by this shot, there was a small pause on this battlefield, many people did not react, everyone was frightened by this sudden death, and then the firecrackers on both sides of the artillery team fired a volley.

This is another big kill, and now the battlefield that has been entangled for a long time has finally cleared out a large open space, no matter how the overseers behind them cut and killed, these foot soldiers are not willing to step forward and die.

The musketeers and artillery corps finally calmly retreated into their own formation under the response of the spear team behind them.

The sun is already in the west, and the situation seems to be temporarily back in a stalemate, Zhao Neng finally put the soldiers and horses in his hands back, completely in the formation, and can be dispatched to replenish, without being as nervous as Fang Cai.

On the left flank of the Dengzhou Army, the sun from the west shone through, and it happened to be directly opposite the soldiers of this front. The soldiers on the left flank of the Dengzhou army were a little unable to open their eyes, while the cavalry opposite them had their backs to the sun.

The stalemate did not last long, the whining short horn sounded again, and the Mongolian horse teams everywhere began to shoot arrows forward again, and the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army, who had already experienced this type of attack, were not so panicked, anyway, there was no harm. The Mongolian cavalry suffered a great loss when they approached this time, because the firecrackers in the front row had already been transferred to the other three sides, and the range and power of the bows and arrows naturally could not be compared with the firearms.

It's just that the left flank is different, and after the Mongolian horse team in this direction endured the fire and shot the first round of arrows, they shouted and rushed up directly with horses.

On the left flank of the Dengzhou army, they could barely put together two rows of musketeers, and after the shooting, they did defeat a lot of Mongolian cavalry. But the people in the back didn't seem to care, they still rushed forward without hesitation, and several battalion Qianzong in the middle of the left flank could already see the difference between these Mongolian horse teams and those in front.

Most of these cavalrymen who rushed up were wearing armor. The clothes are quite regular, the weapons in their hands are similar to the style of long knives and spears, and although their formation is sparse, they are also orderly, this is not the Mongolian herdsmen who seem to be mad dogs rushing up randomly.

"It's Meng Baqi!!"

The formation of the Dengzhou army was a flat rectangle, the left and right wings were not large, and similarly, the strength was not large, and the two rounds of fire from the musketeers could not block all the impact. According to this trend and the number of firecrackers, it is impossible to achieve rotational fire, which is the most dangerous situation for firecrackers, if they do not return to the protection of spearmen in time, they will only be caught up by the back row and slashed.

This kind of battlefield action in the retreat drill does not require an officer's order, just to make the firecrackers more efficient when they retreat.

But the Mongolian cavalry that followed one after another put in a lot of strength this time, and the kind of circle that seemed to be aimless just now seemed to distribute the strength evenly to each Jiaozhou battalion Dengzhou army front. But looking at it now, the tactics of the Tartar army are focused, and they are definitely bloody on the left flank of the Dengzhou army.

The Mongolian cavalry that continued to rush over made it impossible for the firecrackers to continue shooting, and now that they were running slowly, they might be chased and slashed by the light cavalry behind them, and some even discarded the firearms in their hands in order to run faster.

"Spear! Rejection!! ”

In the face of such an attack, the response of the Jiaozhou battalion still relied on the fundamentals, that is, the spears in the hands of the soldiers and the formation of formations.

But this time the advance of the Mongol cavalry was not the madness of the last charge. It is obviously a degree of suppression. Sheltered by the phalanx of spears, the musketeers had no room to reload, and time was running out. They simply didn't have time to reload.

In this case, that is, thirty paces away, the Jiaozhou battalion no longer had any means of attack, and the Mengbaqi cavalry controlling the horses stopped their horses at this distance, and they all turned off their horses, and after standing still, they opened their bows and arrows, dismounted and shot.

When he was in Qihe County, the Tartar team that Li Meng met used this routine, and today's various dispatches, in the end, the Tartar army still found the opportunity to shoot with this infantry.

Thirty paces or so dismounting, but not an attack that can be resisted by shaking the spear and bowing the head, the first row of bowstrings sounded, the big arrows shot out, the array on the left wing of the Dengzhou army was unable to react for a while, and was immediately shot down, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry behind were dismounted, rushing towards the front, and shooting the bows and arrows in their hands as much as possible in the effective range.

The firecrackers of the Dengzhou army did not care about the danger of being shot by bows and arrows, and rushed out of the cover and gap to load ammunition and prepare to return fire, but compared with the firecrackers and bows and arrows at this distance, there was no advantage, not to mention that the number of Mongolian cavalry was far more than that of firecrackers.

The firecrackers began to roar, but more often than not, the trills of the bowstrings and the screams of the dead and wounded, and the situation began to go haywire......
