"Quick! Fast! Hurry up! The first team of Mongolian Eight Banners, the second team of Mites Eight Banners! The third squad of infantry! Fast! Wu Dog is about to be killed——! ”

In the hysterical roar of Kang Mazi, the Qing soldiers who were still hungry and had their chests on their backs moved, or secretly complained, or sighed, or had sad faces, and willingly or unwillingly ran to their positions to meet the enemy according to the requirements of Kang Mazi and the Qing generals. 【Reading.com】

The infantry of the Qing army has no problem, Kang Mazi let them hide in the safest third team, it is not easy to be injured by the fat army and it is convenient to escape, of course the infantry of the Qing army is happy; The Eight Banners cavalry in Mite Prefecture is no problem, they are loyal to Kang Mazi and are in the relatively safe second team, so naturally they will not have any opinions. However, the Mongolian cavalry arranged by Kang Mazi in the most dangerous first team was not happy, and Chahun, Ozir, Dulbert, Ombu, Tashbatur and Norbu Bandi and other Mengjian Taiji came to Kang Mazi and kowtowed in front of Kang Mazi, begging Kang Mazi to rearrange the queue and arrange the Mongolian cavalry composed of all married sons to a safe position.

"Ridiculous!" Kang Mazi, who originally planned to let the Mengjian cavalry be cannon fodder, of course could not agree to the request of the Mengjian Taijis, and said angrily: "When the battle is coming, there is a reason to temporarily adjust the queue? Queue up now! If you delay the military plane, whoever it is, immediately behead it! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten the honor of the Mongolian Iron Horse? How can you also learn from Han dogs to pick thin and fat, and be cowardly? Zhou Peigong also stood up and said loudly: "In the era of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian iron cavalry swept the world and was invincible. It's only been a few years, why don't you even have the courage to stand opposite Wu Gou? Forgot that you are the descendants of the blue wolf, the white deer and Genghis Khan? ”

"Your Majesty the Qing Dynasty, it's not that the minions dare not stand on Wu Gou." Chahun and the others explained profusely: "It's just that the cavalry of the minions, the soldiers and the war horses were very tired after the more than 100 miles of the rapid march yesterday, the soldiers did not have time to eat, and the war horses did not have time to feed the forage ....... ”

"Less wordy!" Kang Mazi's numb eyes glared, and he said angrily: "The cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners did not eat and rest, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Mite Prefecture ate and rested again?" Immediately go and line up for me! Wolf Qin, you lead the battalion to carry a knife and axe to act as a supervising team, but anyone who retreats from the battle and does not obey the order will be beheaded immediately! ”

"Cover!" Wolf Tan Daqian agreed, flew on the horse to organize the supervision team, here Chahun and other Mengxi Taiji had no choice, so he had to run back to the team with his head down, and commanded the Mengjian cavalry to line up, and lined up a typical Mongolian cavalry formation composed of ten horizontal teams in front of the formation, each horizontal team of 2,000 people, one mile wide, one and a half miles thick, and at the same time prepared a large number of bows and arrows and axes, ready to take the most typical Mongolian Mangu tactics to compete with the fat army.

When the Qing army was busy arranging the formation, the main infantry of the Fat Army had already gone out of the city in large numbers, and the crane wing array expected by Zhou Peigong was laid with the back of Huai'an City, the cavalry covered the two wings, and the main infantry force was in the center, forming an infantry phalanx that kept a certain distance from each other, and then formed a huge phalanx from these small phalanxes.

Step by step, step by step, the formation of the Qing army has just seen its embryonic shape, but the fat man has already established a position four miles away from them, and at the same time he has seized the time to build a horse fence to reach the impact of the Qing army's superior cavalry - this is also the only advantage of the Qing army's team. Lu Fatzi led Yao Qisheng and Wang Shaobo and other confidants and staff officers to climb the temporary high platform under the Fat Man's army flag, and commanded the Huai'an Battle condescendingly, but when Lu Fatzi raised his binoculars to take a closer look at the Qing army's formation, Lu Fatzi couldn't help but froze and said in surprise: "Kang Mazi is crazy? Arrange a long snake formation with the weakest offensive and defensive forces, and put the only superior cavalry at the front and the infantry at the rear? ”

"Boss, you're right." Wang Shaobo said excitedly: "The Emperor Mangou is really a straw bag who doesn't know how to pretend to understand in military affairs, and he puts all the only ace cavalry at the front, which is just convenient for our Sanhao rocket explosion!" ”

"General, Mr. Young Uncle, don't be too happy." Yao Qisheng saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly reminded: "The one-word long snake formation of the full dog seems stupid, but in fact, it contains murderous intentions, and it also happens to target our weaknesses. ”

If Fat Lu realized, Wang Shaobo asked in surprise: "How can Master Yao say this?" What weakness does the full dog target us? ”

"Understood, Mangou should have guessed that our Miyoshi rocket may be insufficient." Lu Fatzi snapped his fingers and explained for Yao Qisheng: "Our army's four-line battle is still a series of battles, ammunition and rockets are consumed, Mangou is likely to take this into account, so put all the Mongolian cavalry into the first team, as cannon fodder to consume the last thousands of Sanhao rockets in our hands, the remnants of the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the near hand-to-hand combat, pinned down our Sanhao artillery team, and then the Mangou cavalry immediately launched a charge, smashed our army's flag array, and captured the thief first captured the king and won by surprise." ”

Yao Qisheng nodded silently, admitting that what Lu Fatzi said was exactly what he thought, and Wang Shaobo hurriedly asked again: "Dongjia, what should I do?" We have less than 8,000 Miyoshi rockets in our hands, and once they are exhausted by the Mongol cavalry, this battle will be a fierce battle. ”

"Don't be afraid, we still have plenty of ammunition for grenades and firing pin guns." Lu Fatzi said very easily: "It is no longer the era of invincible cavalry, and it is not so easy for the full dog cavalry to break through our infantry phalanx to block. ”

After a little thought, Lu Fatzi quickly made tactical adjustments and ordered: "Let the sub-mother artillery team retreat half a mile and hide in the second formation to shoot." Also, let Itambu send a soldier who can speak Mongolian at once, I have something to explain. ”

The order was conveyed, and the Fat Army's sub-mother artillery team, which had been lined up in front of the formation, immediately retreated, retreated half a mile to the rear, and hid behind the first row of Fat Army infantry phalanx, striving to maintain a sustainable artillery firing capability - fortunately, the Fat Army's sub-mother artillery only weighed more than 300 catties, and it was convenient to transfer. In the Qing army on the opposite side, Zhou Peigong saw that the fat army had made adjustments, and immediately turned to Kang Mazi and said: "Master, Wu Gou has discovered our intentions, and their artillery has retreated backwards, obviously trying to use the infantry to protect the artillery team, and still maintain a certain amount of firepower when the rockets are exhausted, weakening the impact of our Qing cavalry!" ”

"Really? So what to do? Kang Mazi asked suspiciously.

"Attack immediately, don't give Wu Gou a chance to adjust!" Zhou Peigong replied categorically.

Kang Mazi looked at the Qing army that was still in the whole team, and hesitated a little, at this time, the guard next to him exclaimed: "Master, please look, Wu Gou's envoy has come out!" ”

Kang Mazi quickly looked up, and saw that the fat army really rushed out of the side, and rushed directly towards this side with a small white flag in his hand, Kang Mazi couldn't help sneering, "Lu Yifeng dog thief, I want to play tricks again, don't let the arrows go, let him come over, I want to take a look, what tricks can that fallen showman?" ”

Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai on the other side glanced at each other, and they all smiled quietly and bitterly. But what Zhou Peigong, Tu Hai and Kang Mazi didn't expect was that the fat army envoy didn't gallop in the direction of Kang Mazi, who was playing the treasure fan dragon flag, but instead restrained the war horse in front of the Mongolian cavalry team and shouted in Mongolian: "Compatriots on the grassland, I am the descendant of the blue wolf and white deer like you!" I came here on the order of General Lu Yifeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty to tell you that the Emperor Mangou asked you to rush to the front because he wanted you to die! ”

"Don't talk about your 20,000 cavalry, back then in Anshun, more than 30,000 cavalry full of dogs were also blown up by the prince of the Great Zhou with a three-good rocket in less than a pillar of incense! The Emperor of the Full Dog asked you to rush to the front, just to let you consume the rockets of the Great Zhou army and send you to death in vain! ”

Because the distance was too far, Kang Mazi didn't hear what the Fat Army Mongolian Annihilation Envoy shouted, and lost the opportunity to take immediate countermeasures, and the Mongolian Annihilation Team who heard the Fat Army Envoy's shouting was in an uproar, and Itambu picked out the Mongolian Annihilation Envoy for Lu Fat and shouted: "Compatriots on the Mongolian steppe, run away, the full dog is over, escape from the battlefield and surrender to the Great Zhou!" The Great Zhou is a team against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is friends with our Mongolia, and the Great Zhou is also friends with our Mongolia, if you surrender, the Great Zhou army will not harm you......! ”

Before the words were finished, the thunderous Qing army supervision team was already firing guns and arrows, but it was a pity that Lu Fatzi sent the Menganization envoy not only horsemanship, but also quite cunning, seeing the Qing army supervision team raising a gun and a bow, he had already turned around and ran backwards, shouting slogans while running, recruiting the Menganization army for Lu Fatzi. The Mongolian annihilation army was already extremely poor in discipline and low morale, and it was already very dissatisfied to be forcibly arranged in the first team by Kang Mazi, and then heard the shouts of the Mengannihilation envoy of the fat army, the morale of the army was even more floating, and the team exchanged ears, and rumors suddenly spread.

"Huh——! Whew——! Whew——! ”

Lu Fatzi's more ruthless tricks were still to come, and at this time, three three-good rockets suddenly shot out in front of the fat man's army, and they flew out nearly three miles away and exploded, making three earth-shattering explosions one after another, and three big craters appeared on the ground in the dust. The fat army team cheered, the Mongolian annihilation team was like earth, and so was Kang Mazi, who really saw the power of the Miyoshi rocket explosion for the first time, and finally understood why the Qing army team had been defeated in front of Lu Fatzi before, and also faintly regretted killing Yue Le - such a huge gap in firearms, it was really not easy for Yue Le to support it to this point.

"Lu Yifeng dog thief!" Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai scolded at the same time, because they could see at a glance that the three good rockets that the Fat Army showed off their military might were obviously the three good rockets with two catties of three good explosives commonly used by the Wu Army in the past few years, and the three good rockets used by the Fat Army have changed the explosives to one pound due to the cost of intensive coverage, and the power is far inferior to the three good rockets of the year. Now Fat Lu suddenly used the old Sanhao rocket, obviously to scare the soldiers better and more effectively.

Frightened, things have come to this point, Kang Mazi can't turn back, so he can only grit his yellow teeth and shout viciously: "Beat the war drums!" Raise the flag, the front team charges! Target, Wu Dog Chinese Army Infantry! Tell the Mongol princes that only advances, not a step back! Annihilate Wu dog, everyone has a reward! The one who captured Lu Yifeng's dog thief alive will be replaced by Prince Feng hereditarily! ”

Orders and bounties were conveyed, and the war drums were beaten, although he knew that Kang Mazi had no good intentions, but considering that these Mengjian Taiji had already colluded with the Aixin Jueluo family and wore a pair of pants together, Chahun and other Mengjian Taiji always issued orders to let the Mengjian cavalry team charge, and the Mengjian cavalry had no choice but to shout the slogan of killing Wu Gou to give themselves courage, urging the war horses to move their feet, and trotting towards the Chinese infantry formation of the Fat Army.

In the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, the speed of the Mongolian cavalry gradually increased, from slow to trot, from trot to fast running, and gradually charged at full speed. But at this time, the Mongolian cavalry had already rushed into the three-mile range of the most powerful three-mile rocket of the Fat Army's Sanhao rocket, and Fat Lu immediately made a decision, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Only half of the Sanhao rocket is left, and the rest will be blasted out!" Mother and son cannon, give Lao Tzu all his strength! ”

The flag waved, the deputy commander of the Fat Man Firearms Battalion Lianfu immediately waved the red flag, and the more than 400 rocket vehicles lined up in a row immediately ignited at the same time, blasting out more than 2,000 Sanhao rockets in one go, and the rockets dragged out with gunpowder and whistling smoke, and shot overwhelmingly at the Mongolian cavalry team that was surging like a tide, and one hundred and fifty sub-mother cannons were also ignited at the same time, pouring flowering shells and solid shells into the heads of the Mongolian cavalry team at the maximum firing angle.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar Yi Mu of friends was once again shown on the battlefield outside Huai'an, Kang Mazi finally saw with his own eyes the terrifying power of the fat army rocket array that made the Qing cavalry famous, in the rumbling explosion, the Mongolian cavalry or people turned over on their backs, or the flesh and blood were splashed, or the bones were broken, and even more simply flew into the air like a broken kite, with a body full of blood and fell into the distance, the battlefield was so thick that the smoke of gunpowder was so thick that he couldn't see his fingers, and the Mongolian cavalry was crying wolf howling in this dense gunsmoke, and people shouted and neighed. The screams of horror and the screams of death were endless.

Sanhao rockets are still being fired, the sub-mother cannon is still continuing to roar, the screams and screams of the Mongolian cavalry are still continuing, seeing the heavy casualties of the front team, the morale of the Mongolian cavalry is not high or fleeing to the wings, only four or five rows of Mongolian cavalry are covered by the artillery fire and rockets of the fat army and charge desperately, the Qing army supervises the battle team to cut people crazily, but the Mongolian cavalry just said that they refuse to charge, the Qing army is in chaos in front of the formation, Kang Mazi scolded, and had to expand the supervision team again to go forward and kill the Mongolian soldiers, Forced them to charge.

The Fat Army's three good rockets are indeed too few, and it is even more impossible for less than 4,000 three good rockets to completely cover the cross-section of the battlefield one and a half miles wide, so the nearly 10,000 Mongolian cavalry that has always maintained the momentum of the charge has more than 3,000 horsemen who broke through the rocket formation of the Fat Army and approached the vicinity of the Fat Army's large array. As the remnants of the Mongolian cavalry gradually approached, the Fat Army rocket team was forced to stride back, and the little brother Fat Army Hammer Gun, who had been hiding behind the big brother for several years, was forced to play the leading role, and began to use three-stage shooting tactics to shoot the approaching Mongolian cavalry.

At the same time, the archers in the infantry phalanx of the Fat Army also began to fire at an upward angle, and the bows and muskets densely covered the Mongol cavalry, in front of this dense rainstorm of guns and bows and arrows, the Mongol cavalry fell like wheat, coupled with the cannonballs that fell from the sky from time to time, the Mongol soldiers also began to collapse and flee.

Seeing such a scene, Lu Fatzi not only did not have the slightest joy, but his brows were tightly wrinkled together, because Lu Fatzi clearly saw that even if it was a firing pin gun that had been improved by himself, the effective killing range was only sixty or seventy meters, but the Mongolian horn bow could reach more than eighty meters, causing a lot of casualties to the infantry phalanx of the Fat Army, and the only thing that the Fat Army could be as long as the Mongolian horn bow in range was still a primitive bow and arrow! And the reason why the fat army was able to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from rushing into the formation for hand-to-hand combat relied on the numerical advantage of bows and arrows and muskets, as well as the temporary repair of the weak anti-horse fence in that row, and the low morale of the Mongolian soldiers, looking at the three good rockets that were less than 4,000 left, and looking at the Qing cavalry that still occupied the numerical advantage in the distance, Lu Fatzi couldn't help but murmur: "This battle is by no means as easy to fight as imagined, as long as Kang Mazi is smart enough, even if our army can win in the end, I am afraid that the casualties will not be small." ”

Not only did Lu Fatzi see this, a herald hurriedly ran to Lu Fatzi, clasped his fists on his war horse and said: "General, General Gao Hongchen on the right flank asks for an order, hoping to let his cavalry on the right flank attack, and rush back to the flank of the dog's main formation to share the pressure for the Chinese army!" ”

"Attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, it's a shame that he came up with such a bad idea!" Fat Lu snorted coldly and shouted: "Go back and tell Gao Hongchen, let him wait, if you want to catch the dog emperor, there is a chance, without an order, the cavalry on both wings must not send a single soldier, and those who violate the order will be beheaded immediately!" ”

The herald agreed, rushed back to give Gao Hongchen an answer, and Yao Qisheng next to him frowned and said: "General, even if our two-wing cavalry does not move, as long as the Mangou Emperor is smart enough, he will definitely send infantry to attack the two wings of our army, and use the infantry to consume and contain the cavalry of our army. ”

Lu Fatzi didn't answer, and said viciously after a while: "Consume it, let's consume it, we still have Han Daren's 20,000 troops are rushing towards the battlefield with all their might, and they can arrive at the battlefield in an hour at most, as long as our Chinese army can bite the cavalry full of dogs, so that they can't rush up, Han Daren will fight with us back and forth, and this battle will be won!" ”

At the same time, under the banner of the Qing army, as the smoke gradually dissipated, I saw that many Mongolian cavalry rushed to the front of the fat army, Zhou Peigong rushed to Kang Mazi like crazy, kowtowed desperately, and cheered madly: "Master, you are really a Hongfu Qitian!" Wu Gou's three good rockets, the number is already much less than the minion imagined! We still have a chance in this battle! We are in the Qing Dynasty, and there is still hope! ”

"How?" Kang Mazi, who was furious that half of the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to charge, asked in surprise.

"Master, please look, our Mongolian cavalry of the Qing Dynasty has rushed to the front of the Wu Dog formation!" Zhou Peigong pointed to the front of the fat man's middle army formation, and said with a wild smile: "If Wu Gou's three good rockets are sufficient, not to mention 20,000 cavalry, even 100,000 cavalry will not be able to rush in front of Wu Gou's formation!" But our Mongolian cavalry only rushed halfway, and more than 2,000 people rushed to the front of Wu Gou's formation, which is enough to prove that the number of Wu Gou's three good rockets is seriously insufficient! Our cavalry still has the upper hand, and we still have hope of a big victory in this battle! ”

"Makes sense." Kang Mazi nodded decently, and asked again, "Then how should we fight next?" ”

"The infantry is all out and divided into two teams!" Zhou Peigong shouted frantically: "Outflank Wu Gou's wings left and right, bite Wu Gou's small number of cavalry, and bite them no matter how much it costs!" Our Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty continued to stand still, looking for fighters! ”

"Also, please give the slave a golden arrow!" Zhou Peigong kowtowed vigorously and said: "The slave will carry the master's arrow to the remaining Mongolian cavalry team, boost their morale for the master, and reorganize them to launch an assault!" Let them go and bite the infantry brigade of Wu Dog! Create fighters for our Qing Eight Banners cavalry! ”

Since crossing the Yellow River, Kang Mazi finally made an extremely correct decision, that is, he immediately took out the golden arrow inscribed with the words 'Ru I am coming', and handed it to Zhou Peigong without saying a word, Zhou Peigong was so excited that he burst into tears, took the golden arrow with both hands and kowtowed to Kang Mazi, and then rushed to the front of the Mongolian army.
