Chapter 72: Hesitation (Next)

The soldiers of the second capital also pointed their guns downwards and slowly retreated. The soldiers of the third capital marched slowly at the same pace. The bodies of the two sides are staggered, and they cooperate like a performance on a stage.

The 1st Metropolitan Soldier, who had retreated to the last position, quickly reloaded the gunpowder and pressed into the projectile. The whole process is as skillful as flowing water. It's a pity that in a short period of time, they have no chance to fire again, and the people who stand in the way have fled in an instant, and even the injured accomplices refuse to take them with them.

"A battalion, due north, attack and advance......" A famous captain Yi Lu, who was riding a war horse, raised his sword and pointed forward, ordering his brothers to move forward.

"A battalion, due north, attack forward...", the soldiers beside him tore their throats and repeated loudly. At the same time, vigorously beat the big drum placed on the chicken bus.

"Knock......... Boom......... Boom......... Boom......... "Knock ......" The cowhide drum emits a low melody, and each stroke penetrates into people's hearts like thunder.

The commander of the first battalion, Su Er, responded with a loudspeaker, and the tone of "Mmmm

"Uh......h Whining...... Woo woo ........." Yin Liuwa, the commander of the first company, quickly turned the sound of the horn into a horn, urging the hundred pikemen under his command to stride forward, step past the corpses of the enemy, and push the next wave of opponents in the way.

"Uh......h Whining...... Woo woo......... "The horn in the hand of Xu Tubao, the commander of the second company, emitted the same melody as the first company. The hundred pikemen under his command immediately spread their legs and followed closely behind the company.

"Uh......h Whining...... Woo woo......... "The commander of the third company, the imperial insult captain Lu Si, quickly replaced the copper whistle in his mouth with a horn, making a blood-pumping sound.

The musketeers of the three capitals of the Third Company quickly followed the pace of the pikemen, forming a neat three-row echelon on the left flank of the latter. At the same time, Xu Wen, the commander of the fourth company, and Lin Wei, the commander of the fifth company, urged their respective brothers to slowly follow the center and right flank positions of the spear company.

Different from the previous three-three system of the Huai'an Army, several training battalions under the Fifth Army were expanded to the standard of five companies after obtaining the permission of the Military Bureau and the General Manager Zhu Chongjiu.

Two companies of heavily armored pikemen, plus three companies of cuirassiers musketeers.

When it comes to battle, the pikemen are alone in a double horizontal formation at the front of the ranks. The three musketeer companies stood side by side on the left, center and right. The interior of each company was again refined into three horizontal rows according to the standard.

In addition, in addition to the spear company, the company commanders of the three fire gun companies are also equipped with a sharpshooter. During the battle, they did not advance and retreat with other brothers, but according to the orders of the company commander, they specially selected the low-level generals in the enemy army, or the brave ones to shoot coldly.

The above combination of arms was deduced by Wu Liangmou, Liu Kui, and Lu Deshan, based on the characteristics of both the enemy and us, as well as the actual combat experience of the past two years, and they practiced hundreds of times, and it was not until they recently received the new type of musket and magic machine gun that they finally declared their maturity.

Today, I took it to the battlefield for the first time, and it was a hit. The Meng Yuan soldiers, who were accustomed to using artillery bows and arrows at a distance and spears and swords at close range, could not adapt to the latest tactics of the Fifth Army at all. Often, before they have contact with the latter, they lose the backbone of the team first. Immediately followed by two rounds of bullet rain, the damage of the entire team exceeded 30%, and the rest immediately collapsed in morale, left their robes beside them, and fled for their lives in panic.

And Li Hara, the deputy Wanhu who was left by Badulu to fill in the Huai'an army, was also unable to adapt to the changes in front of him. He was clearly cautious and cautious, and put his brothers in a standard three-talent formation, just waiting to take advantage of a little, and then turned around and left. Unexpectedly, the two oblique rangers on the left and right did not wait for their effects to play a role, and they were knocked off their horses by a "thunderbolt". Immediately after, the striker team also quickly collapsed, and it only took the opponent three or five breaths to scatter and flee.

In desperation, Li Hara did not hesitate to order the most elite jumping team to press up. As a result, the table of the jumping team was even more unbearable than the striker team, and they collapsed without any substantive contact with the opponent. At least 1,000 of the 2,000 men and horses fled back, from the generals to the soldiers, all of them were terrified like lost dogs. (Note 1)

"Demon law, the red scarf thief used the demon method!" A deputy commander, who was missing an arm, warned Li Hara very conscientiously. Bright red blood flowed down the mane of the warhorse.

"For the generals to retreat first without a fight, behead...", Li Hara did not hesitate to announce his death sentence. The eyes were staring ahead, and the corners of their mouths were twitching.

"Spare your life, Lord Wanhu, spare your life. The last general, the last general is seriously wounded, seriously wounded..."When Qianhu heard this, he immediately screamed and tilted his horse's head, trying to run farther away to avoid the limelight first. How could the soldiers around Li Hara give him a chance? Shoot an arrow first and shoot it off the horse's back. Then he rushed forward, dropped his knife in his hand, and cut off his head.

"Supervise the team, come forward, anyone who dares to attack the formation will be shot..."

"Yes...", an absolute descendant named Ling Wu agreed loudly, lit up five hundred warlords, and stepped forward with a bow. Facing the defeated and retreating of his own robes, it was a rain of arrows.

"Ah.........", "Mother's .........", "Spare Your Life........." The rout soldiers who were fleeing in panic were caught off guard, and hundreds of people fell in an instant, and the screams came one after another.

Deputy Wanhu Li Hara turned a deaf ear and continued to stare straight ahead, his eyes flashing with a faint green light.

He can't be soft, and he doesn't dare to be soft.

The prime minister of Sichuan Province replied that Ya Badulu gave him the task of harassing the Huai'an army, and did not ask him to fight to the death. However, if he didn't even have half a pillar of incense, he would be beaten and turned around and fled, I am afraid that after he goes back, the head of Xiang Shangshang will be borrowed by the prime minister and used for it.

Therefore, no matter whether the broken arm Qianhu is telling the truth or not, whether the Huai'an military uses the demon method or not, he must hold on for a while. Even if you can see who the opponent is and the general situation of the scale, you can finally go to answer Ya Badulu and his son.

Ling Wu, who is a descendant of thousands of households, understands the intentions of his own ten thousand households, and leads the supervising team to continue to splash feather arrows on his own robe that has retreated from defeat. Shoot the latter row after row and fall to the ground, blood flowing like a river.

The rout who ran over was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he quickly turned his body sideways to get out of the way of the front of the Governor's team. At this moment, the appearance of the enemy army could finally be seen clearly, and Deputy Wanhu Li Hara suddenly jumped like thunder.

"Overseer team, shoot arrows to intercept. Left compartment, right compartment, two wings outflanked... Zhongjun, take me along—" Like a mad wild dog, he roared angrily. The steel knife in his hand pointed forward, and the war horse under his crotch raised his front hooves uneasily, kicking around.

It's no wonder that he can't hold his breath, seeing the scene in front of him is too insulting. The total number of Huai thieves who chased after him was only about five hundred. And it was all foot soldiers, there were no cavalry, and there were no hundreds of cannons hidden behind them.

However, it was these only 500 thieves who destroyed the fighting spirit of 3,000 officers and soldiers one after another in a few breaths. And he chased after him relentlessly, as if the torches on the opposite side were all held in the hands of the puppet stalks.

"Overseer team, shoot arrows to intercept. Left compartment, right compartment, two wings outflanked... Zhongjun, give me a bet..."

"Overseer team, shoot arrows to intercept. Left compartment, right compartment, two wings outflanked... Zhongjun, give me a bet..."

The personal soldiers around Li Hara also quickly became highly motivated. Tearing open his throat and repeating the orders of his own ten thousand households over and over again.

"Kill, ........." The thousand-strong teams on the left and right heard this, and immediately raised their weapons and moved forward. Like the Mengyuan soldiers of the Chinese army, they were also frightened by their own rout. But when they saw clearly the scale of the first wave of Huai'an troops rushing over, they panicked in their hearts, and quickly turned into shame.

Five hundred, just five hundred, just want to swallow five thousand officers and soldiers in one gulp. The generals of the Huai'an Army who led the team were either crazy or arrogant. And the accomplices behind these five hundred people were at least more than two miles away from them. The officers and men of Dayuan could have taught them a lesson first, and then calmly evacuated.

"Kill......... the Chinese soldiers beside Li Hara let out the same cry from their mouths. Step forward with your legs in motion, ready to give your opponent a blow to the head.

Their fighting spirit was so strong that the retreating accomplices did not dare to face them, turned around, spread their legs, and ran as far as they could. Their shouts were so loud that the Huai'an army, which was attacking and advancing, had to stop the pursuit of the routs and slowly formed a formation on the spot.

"Blow the horns, let the archers cover the shots...", Lyhara would never give his opponent time to prepare calmly, and decisively swung his steel sword on horseback.

Without his orders, the archers of the left and right sides and the Chinese army also knew what to do. Raise the horn bow diagonally upwards and pull the bowstring quickly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Thousands of armor-piercing cones rose into the air at the same time, gliding for a short distance of dozens of paces, and suddenly turned downward.

"Dangdangdang, dangdang, dangdang..."In the hazy firelight, the sound from the opposite side was like rain hitting plantains.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" "Whoosh, whoosh" "Whoosh, whoosh"

"Dangdangdang, dangdang, dangdang..."

"Dangdangdang, dangdang, dangdang..."

"Dangdangdang, dangdang, dangdang..."

In the second wave, the third wave, and the fourth wave, the Tanma Red Army were all good marksmen who had been passed down from generation to generation, and even if they were sword and shield soldiers, many of them also carried horn bows on their backs. Hundreds of feather arrows smashed into the heads of the Huai'an army on the opposite side one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely swallowed.

However, to the despair of Li Hara and his soldiers, the losses caused by these thousands of feathered arrows to the Huai'an army were minimal.

Before most of the feathered arrows could fall, they were deflected by the spears swinging back and forth in mid-air, and finally disappeared. A small part of the opponent's array was also separated by the Huai'an sergeant with a sturdy helmet and a shining cuirass, but the opponent couldn't do anything. The most frustrating thing was the feathered arrow shot at the chest of the pikeman, almost shooting the opponent into a hedgehog, but the Huai'an soldiers who were hit by several arrows seemed to have swallowed the vajra talisman, and they didn't even bother to look down and take a second look. Just casually swinging the handle of the gun, the carved feathers on his body fell into the dust one by one. (Note 2)

Note 1: The Sancai Formation, one of the ancient standard battle formations. It is divided into seven parts: two wings, forwards, jumps, left and right hatchbacks, and the middle army. In wartime, each has its own duties. The number of rangers is small, and their main role is to monitor the movement of the battlefield and find opportunities to harass the opponent. The striker is to test the attack and find out the strength of the enemy. Jumping as the main force on the battlefield, responsible for cutting the generals and capturing the flag. The left and right wings are reserves, so as to avoid the lack of strength of the jumping team, and seek opportunities to use and crush the enemy. The Chinese army is to protect the last family of the commander, once it is put into use, it means that at the last moment, if there is no left, it will die.

Note 2: The armor-piercing ability of the bow and arrow is very limited. Therefore, in ancient times, there were often records of hundreds of arrows in the body of a certain fierce general, and they all continued to call and rush into battle. Without him, the armor is good, and the bow and arrow cannot penetrate it.
