In Nanjing, in October, the northeast breeze gusted, and the temperature of more than ten degrees was also extremely suitable for the Qing army from the north to the south. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt's just that this murderous aura has been filled with it, and there is not even a bird in this huge area of the battlefield, and these wild creatures have obviously smelled the smell of killing, and they don't dare to approach this area at all.

In the south of Lishui County, the main forces of the Ming and Qing armies began to set up positions on the battlefield, and the army continued to extend to the two wings to ensure the safety of the flanks as much as possible. This is not a difficult task for the two armies, which have about 50,000 soldiers alone, but there are tens of thousands of people, and there is no boundary, and both the Ming army and the Qing army invariably divided the troops into three parts: the middle army, the left flank and the right flank while spreading the formation, and the officers in charge commanded the operation.

The Qing army sits in the north and faces south, and the Chinese army commands Manchuria with the blue flag Gushan Ezhen Tong Jia * Lanbai, and the Manchurian blue flag is the flag of Jierharang, and Lanbai is his old subordinate, which is the most convenient to use, and this time he is in charge of the Chinese army; On the right wing of the west, the commander was the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Ilgen Jueluo * Arzin, who historically succeeded the official position of General Jingkou of Ningnan after the death of Chen Tai, and was responsible for sitting in Huguang, but now because of the sharp increase in pressure from the southeast, he was transferred to this army in advance by Zilharang; The left wing commander in the east is Manchuria, the Yellow Banner Gushan, Ezhen Shumulu * Yierde, who is historically the commander sent by the Qing army after Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan, and Chen Liuyu recovered Zhoushan.

The three generals in charge of the aspect were all Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but these three parts of the Qing army were not all the Eight Banner Army, but each was assigned to 10,000 northern green battalions, and 3,000 Eight Banner Army as the backbone, and the other troops were unified under the banner of Zierharang as a reserve.

In this way, using the green battalion as cannon fodder to consume the living forces of the Ming army, and finally using the Eight Banners Army to finalize the victory, this is something that Zilharang has already calculated.

When the two armies were arrayed, the cavalry of both sides also chased and fought on the battlefield, not only to cover the infantry formation, but also to effectively harass the opponent and find out the specific situation of the enemy.

With a saber in hand, Li Huanxiang rode his horse and rushed towards the Qing army not far away. A few months ago, he was still in the special task force to participate in the attack on Hangzhou, but after a long time, he couldn't ride a horse but it really made him uncomfortable, so after the war, he submitted an application to be transferred to the cavalry battalion, and after getting approval, he had today's fight.

"Kill!"

A knife was slashed, but it was shaken open by the Qing soldier wearing armor with the shield in his left hand. This Qing army slashed and killed a Ming cavalry in the moment of the confrontation just now, and then took advantage of the chaos to cut down another Ming cavalry, which can be described as very brave.

The wounded cavalryman was Li Huixiang's subordinate, who was very able to speak on weekdays, and seeing that he was familiar with the injury, he hurriedly rushed forward. The wounded Ming army therefore rode away and withdrew in the direction of the Ming army's phalanx, but Li Huixiang's knife did not hit this warrior with one sword, but ushered in a horizontal slash and came straight to his neck.

Between the lightning and flint, Li Huixiang hurriedly became an iron plate bridge, dodged the knife strongly, and then shot his waist, and the whole person rose sharply, and cut the head and face of the Qing army again.

At this moment, the Qing army slashed through the air with a knife, as if they had already known that Li Huixiang had this move, and hurriedly raised his shield to block. But when he really saw the moment of the knife, he already realized that it was impossible to block this knife with a shield, so he had to use a technique to hide in stirrups to avoid the edge of this knife.

However, the speed of this knife is really not slow, and although it failed to achieve the expected effect, it cut off the "lightning rod" on the helmet of the Qing army with one knife.

The war horse staggered, and Li returned to his hometown and failed to hit with one blow. Both sides were proud of their martial arts, but they failed to kill them, and Li Huixiang's anger still inevitably rose. Especially when he saw that the Qing army turned his head and glared at him viciously in the state of the rest of his life, this anger was about to explode.

However, when he had just turned a corner and wanted to ride his horse up again, the Ming army took the lead and signaled the cavalry to withdraw for the time being.

The cavalry of this Qing army is a temporary choice in terms of quantity and quality, compared with the cavalry units of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that rely on capture and training, such light riding dog fights are far stronger than the cavalry of the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang that have been in contact with cavalry for only one or two years.

Martial arts, horsemanship, these can rely on the acquired training to enhance, the training intensity of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is extremely high, but the accumulation of experience, especially on the battlefield The opportunity to fight in person is too few, plus the number of Qing army horses is quite large, the Ming army's sentry cavalry has always been at a disadvantage. It is not easy to suppress the cavalry of the Qing army, and then harass the formation of the Qing army, and it is not easy to even get close to see the Qing army's formation, and then bring it back so that the commander and staff can analyze it.

"You wait for Lao Tzu!"

Leaving these words behind, Li returned to his hometown and rode his horse indignantly to cover the retreat of the other Ming troops. Soon, the battlefield resounded with the arrogant ridicule and laughter of the Qing army, but when they saw the Ming army's phalanx clearly, the laughter stopped abruptly.

"So fast?"

Zilharang listened to the report of the horse in disbelief, and the two armies fought lightly on the battlefield for a while, and the Ming army had already finished lining up in armor. When the Qing army's scouts chased the Ming army's sentry horses forward, they saw one after another spear forests pointing at them obliquely, once they dared to get closer, or even just within a hundred paces, the gunners in the front row would fire their guns to drive them away.

The most terrifying thing is that at this distance, the Ming army's firearms can not only hit them, but even easily break through the armor on the Qing army, thus causing actual killing. Especially those firecrackers that need to be supported by a bracket to fire, the Qing cavalry in front of them is obviously far enough away, but they are still not spared, even after the war horse is shot.

"This is probably the turtledove's foot."

Jierharang heard Liu Cheng say that the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang had a very powerful firearm in his hand, which needed a bracket to fire. Originally, because he had not yet carried out large-scale installation, he had not paid special attention to it, but now Zilharang found that Liu Cheng had obviously lagged behind in this aspect of intelligence.

Zierharang never thought that firearms could be, and in the battles in Liaodong, the degree of firearms of the Guanning Army was far better than that of the Ming Army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the artillery battalion was a complete firearms unit, but it was not a group of rookies who sent heads and equipment. Once it enters the stage of hand-to-hand combat, the power of firearms will drop significantly, and in the end, it depends on which side has the stronger ability to endure casualties and kill the enemy faster.

However, the current intelligence clearly told him that this Ming army had obviously undergone extremely strict training, and the speed of the armor formation was so fast, it was by no means an overnight result.

"Report to the prince, the slave saw that the banner of the Chinese army of the Zhejiang bandits is Yongjia Division, the general flag is a Li character, the left wing banner is Dalan Division, the general flag is a Chen character, and the right wing banner is the Four Ming Division, and the general flag is a horse character ......"

The central army of the Ming army was naturally the central army of the Qing army, while the left wing of the Ming army was in the west and the right wing was in the east, which was exactly the opposite of the Qing army.

The Yongjia Division of the Chinese Army, the general flag is still a Li character, obviously Li Ruixin, a general under Chen Wen, this military general Jierharang has heard of it, and has also had complete information, Huang Degong's personal soldiers, Chen Wen's cavalry captain when he was in Dalan Mountain, is known for his offensive style and courage in Jiangnan, and the name of the military general surnamed Yin is exactly two sides.

The Dalan Division on the left flank and the Siming Division on the right flank were both new units, and at least when Yue Le was still alive, the information constantly sent to the Manchu court did not mention the first-level units of these two divisions. Even after Zilharang arrived in Nanjing, the Han army banner brought back by Liu Liangzuo did not mention these two divisions, but the Yongjia division and the Jinhua division participated in the attack on Hangzhou, and the Jinhua division won a great victory in killing Yue Le. Intelligence shows that the Jinhua Division has gone on an expedition, and now it is not lined up in the front, and it is obviously retained by Chen Wen as a reserve.

"The surname Chen should be Chen Guobao, the second cavalry under Chen Wen, who has been in Yanzhou for two years, and he really took it out. As for the one surnamed Ma, it won't be Ma Xin! ”

Tikkam and Guan were loyal, one was responsible for staying in Nanjing as the backing of the army, and the other was in charge of counselor military affairs by Zilharang's side.

Tanma couldn't get close under the shooting of the Ming army, and he couldn't see the official position above, and he could only see the biggest word clearly. But in terms of intelligence, it can still keep up.

Chen Guobao can easily guess, after all, this is a military general who has threatened the flank of the Qing army in Hangzhou for some time in Yanzhou Mansion, and his name is not unfamiliar to the Qing army. And Ma Xin has also made many military exploits anyway, since Chen Wen is willing to hand over the Nantang battalion to this general, he naturally will not care about handing over the division to which the Nantang battalion belongs to Ma Xin to command.

This is a very bad signal, Chen Wen has the practice of reusing the general, and Zierharang has heard of the matter of buying horse bones. If this battle could not be won, then the Manchu Qing would face an even more difficult situation in the future, even a hundred times more difficult than he had previously thought.

The Ming army's armored array had long been completed, and the Qing cavalry was still trying their best to harass it in order to delay the Ming army's attack. However, the cavalry of the Qing army was under the firearms of the Ming army, and the gap in range was too large, and the exchange ratio was too large, so it could not be tossed for long.

Fortunately, the speed of the Ming army was very fast, and the Qing army did not delay long to complete the armor, and the battle array entered further adjustments.

Jierharang is close to the left, a team of hundreds of people in the Eight Banners, these sharp soldiers are selected by thousands of people, and the armor they wear is not the cloth armor of the Qing army or the chain mail, the armor and the like, but the iron man army-style armor.

This was the capture of the First Battle of Nanjing, and Zhang Tianlu, who had collected these armors, did not hesitate to present it to the Manchurian soldiers of Jilharang. Zilharang likes this kind of armor very much, without him, the protection is really strong, even if the bird gun shoots at a normal distance, it may not be able to break the armor. But there is a problem, that is, according to the captured Fujian Ming army, this armor was made by the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zheng Chenggong spent a lot of money to buy it, and from Liu Cheng, he also got information that there had been a large-scale arms transaction between Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Ming army of Fujian.

Zilharang picked up the telescope that Liu Cheng had dedicated to him, which was said to be the standard equipment of the Ming Army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and was distributed to middle and senior officers, artillery, engineers, cavalry, and many officers of the naval division.

The telescope stretched out Zilharang's gaze into the distance, and even if he couldn't see clearly when he was younger, he could see through this small object now that he was a little dizzy. But today, and even at this moment, he really saw how big the gap between the two sides was.

The phalanx of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the artillerymen and musketeers in the front row were all wearing half-body armor without sleeves, and were taking advantage of the huge advantage of range to shoot at the Qing army. The helmet, iron mask, and half-body armor were effectively protected, and the Qing army was able to kill them only by their limbs. But it was the spearmen in the back row who really mattered, from head to toe, wearing the heavy iron armor that he regarded as a treasure, even as if the whole army was like this.

"Just the territory of the two provinces, where did he get so many blacksmiths?"

Jierharang wanted to ask Liu Cheng, but this guy seemed to have some unknown fear of Chen Wen, and was thrown by him in Nanjing after making a few remarks that were almost afraid of war, if it weren't for the fact that he planned to use this person to recruit the generals of the Ming army after defeating the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, such as An Youfu, Wu Dengke and others who Liu Cheng claimed to have a good relationship with him, he would have pulled down the flag a long time ago.

"Pass the order, the whole infantry will attack, and the cavalry will withdraw to the formation and wait for the aftermath."

"King, let's let the cavalry harass for a little longer."

It was a matter of life and death, and although Guan Xiaozhong knew that he was no longer treated well by the Manchurian magnates, Zilharang suddenly changed his established tactics, and he had to say something.

"Are you blind dog slave? Take it and see for yourself! ”

Zilharang viciously threw the telescope to Guan Xiaozhong, who had seen the former play with it many times, and had never eaten pork and always seen pigs go, and quickly figured out how to use it. But if he really used this thing to look at the battle formation of the Ming army, Guan Xiaozhong closed his mouth when he landed - the Iron Man Army had already made him hit his head and bleed, but he didn't expect that this Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming army was even more ruthless, and it had already popularized this kind of treasure armor, how could this battle be fought?

"Lord Wang, if it doesn't work, just withdraw the army, retreat to Huaibei, the cavalry can play a greater role, and they can always drag these iron turtles to death."

"Fart!"

Saying that, Jierharang whipped it on Guan Zhong's face, pointing at this Han army flag general and blurting out: "You dog slave is scared by Han dogs, right, if you dare to make such war-fearing remarks, you will not be spared!" ”

Zilharang has made up his mind, once the order is issued, the commander's general flag is pressed forward, and then, the general flags of the Chinese army Lanbai, the left wing Ilde, and the right wing Arzin also echo, and the army begins to move forward slowly. And when the conch horn sounded, the Qing army's exploration horses also began to slowly retreat, turning from a little raindrop into a thin stream, integrating into the battle formation of the Qing army.

The smoke of the cavalry dissipated, and the slowly advancing Qing army battle formation was completely revealed in front of the Ming army. It's just that at the forefront of the army are neither the pikemen who press the formation, nor the sword and shield soldiers who break the formation, but the heavy shield carts slowly moving forward.

"The people on whom the Zhejiang bandits rely are nothing more than a phalanx of spears and firearms. As long as you manage to destroy the battle formation, the rest is not to worry about! ”
