215 Four thousand white robes
(Chapter 4 delivered today, it's too hot...... I just got out of the shower and sweated profusely. When I was just taking a shower, I heard two girls in the arm room talking about eloping with her boyfriend after graduating from college, and I was sweating profusely......
There is still true love in the world, no matter when this love will deteriorate, in short, if you do it now, you will not regret it. Well, that's why there are more and more abortion hospitals now)
Not far from the resting place, there is a low hill, or more accurately, it should be an extremely gentle hill. It's only five or six meters high, but it's also a commanding height on the plain, the big cart formation is in front of the low hills, and the infantry phalanx of hundreds of households is leaning on the car wall, facing north, and is sitting on the ground to rest.
All the cooks and logisticians have entered the cart wall, and all the combatants are already in position and ready to fight. Liu Liangchen led the gendarmerie to swim behind the formation, and Lian Zining's personal soldiers had already loaded the five thunder god machines and stood in front of the formation. Lian Zining wore a helmet and armor, and held a big gun with an ash pole in his hand, leaving only four small flags of dragocists by his side, and surrounded him in the middle, standing on the hill with his horse, looking out to the northeast from afar.
At this time, a horse galloped from a distance, attracting everyone's attention. Riding his horse all the way, his face was already red, he rolled the saddle in front of the hill and dismounted, and reported loudly: "My lord, the cavalry of the white-robed army, northeast, twenty miles away, Niu Xiaoqi came back to tell you." ”
As if to verify its words, before the words fell, a sharp-eyed dragoon pointed to the distance and said, "My lord, look at the smoke and dust!" ”
The plains are all looking at the mountains and running dead horses, watching the smoke and dust rise, they naturally know that the other party's men and horses are marching, although they see it, but there is still some distance, at least there is still a period of time.
"Go back and tell Niu Er, only leave two small flags to monitor, come back every half a tea time to report the military situation, don't be stuck by the enemy, go!"
The dragoon took the order, looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, Lian Zining took a deep breath and straightened the pointed flat eaves helmet on his head: "My first battle in the real sense of the Ming Dynasty is about to start!" ”
It's just that in my heart, there is no tension at all, there is just excitement, and the ** of the shuddering killing explodes in the bottom of my heart! There is also a kind of joy of being involved in history and being swept into this great torrent!
I finally integrated into this era, and even, my every move is changing history!
In the distance, the smoke and dust were in the sky, and Lian Zining's orders were passed down layer by layer, and the soldiers who were originally sitting and resting all stood up, and under the command of generals at all levels, three phalanxes were quickly formed. Three phalanxes, one large and two small, in front of the big car array, is a large phalanx, with hundreds of households as a line, lined up in ten neat columns, which looks extremely thick. On the left and right flanks of the large phalanx, there are two smaller phalanxes, which are also a row of 100 people, but there are only five columns, which looks much thinner.
The distance between the large phalanx and the two small phalanxes is greater than about thirty paces, and they are horns of each other.
When he learned of the opponent's numerical advantage, Lian Zining realized that he would inevitably divide his troops.
If it was the same as before, forming a large formation of 2,000 people to defend, then the 4,000 cavalry of the white-robed army, attacking from all sides to the sky, was enough to surround the Wu Yi army on all sides. After all, the other party has 4,000 cavalry, and the cavalry is not as good as the infantry, and the spacing is very large when charging, and it is indeed easy to wrap the Wu Yi army phalanx into it.
The white-robed army can attack from all sides, but the Wu Yi army can't defend from all sides, after all, the number of the five thunder god pilots is limited, and once the weak flank is killed by the enemy and the team is divided into several pieces, then the consequences are really unimaginable.
Therefore, it is necessary to divide the troops!
Whether the thickness of the infantry phalanx is twenty or ten, the difference is not large, it is enough to resist the attack of the cavalry, in fact, if the cavalry rushes into the first three layers, it will already be a big chaos.
After dividing the troops, three phalanxes were formed, which meant that the white-robed army must also divide its troops instead of unscrupulously concentrating superior forces to storm one place, in that case, the infantry phalanx on both flanks could bring them a fatal blow!
And the second reason that prompted Lian Zining to divide the troops was what Yang Husheng said after he came back.
The three hundred cavalry and five Thor pilots were evenly distributed among the three phalanxes, each with a hundred people.
According to Yang Husheng's combat experience, thirty Five Thor pilots in a platoon were enough, not one hundred as previously thought. Since the local cavalry front was bound to be scattered, the vast majority of the lead bullets of one hundred five Thor pilots were missed, and thirty of them were enough to cover.
Therefore, Lian Zining now disperses the five Thor pilots, with thirty people in each row, and each phalanx is still three rows, which can not only ensure firepower, but also if the white-robed army is only for one place, the other two phalanxes can also provide fire support!
This is called attacking and defending.
Lian Zining sighed a little, sure enough, war is the best opportunity to exercise, this has not started yet, he has already summed up so many mistakes and shortcomings, and he is only thinking about training behind closed doors.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Lian Zining still didn't give the order to let the guards take off their battle armor after all. After the release of the Five Thunder Machines, the wrists of the guards were already weak and weak, and they would withdraw to the rear of the formation to rectify, and the first to face the enemy's cavalry must be the pikemen in the first three rows - it stands to reason that they should be the most armor-piercing.
But the cultivation of a skilled firecracker is indeed too difficult, ten times more difficult than an ordinary pikeman, and Lian Zining can't see the lives of the two of them as an equal-weight existence after all.
Through his own tossing, as well as the special gift of the emperor before this expedition, Lian Zining now has 800 sets of three-layer foam nail cotton armor in his hands, in addition to 300 firecrackers, 150 dragon lancers, and 350 sets of armor left. There were three phalanxes, the one in the middle of which had one hundred and fifty pikemen, and the small phalanxes on each side of which had one hundred each.
The array had been lined up, officers at all levels were standing at one end of the queue, and the banner of Wu Yijun was erected above Lian Zining's head, hunting and flying in the wind.
The dragoon scouts kept coming back to report the news, the army of the white-robed army was constantly approaching, except for the two small flags, all the other dragoons had withdrawn, all gathered around Lian Zining, and now it has reached eleven small flags, one hundred and twenty-one.
This is the reserve in Lian Zining's hands, which seems to be a little small, but sometimes, combat effectiveness is not necessarily measured by numbers. These more than 100 dragoons are well-equipped and well-trained, and compared with the white-robed army, they can be called heavy cavalry with long-range attack ability and excellent mobility. In the previous battles, it had already shown strong combat effectiveness, and such a team, in Lian Zining's opinion, would have no trouble defeating the opponent's five hundred households.
In addition, they also have the role of heralds, and when it comes to critical moments, they can also make a cameo appearance in the gendarmerie.
Finally, the last two small flags were also withdrawn, and there was no need for their reports at this time, Lian Zining had clearly seen the smoke and dust rising from the end of his sight.
Countless cavalry in white robes appeared in sight, all over the mountains, coming from the north, from east to west, covering the entire line of sight.
At a glance, I don't know how many there are, densely packed, and I saw Lian Zining gasping. There are thousands of people, tearing the ground and the sky, these white-robed soldiers, the momentum is really terrifying!
