Chapter 308: Battle (44)

With the issuance of the military order, one by one the leading leaders of the Jialazhangjing and the Jiajiala's Niuluzhang Kyoto began to shout, and a large number of armored soldiers gathered under each Niulu.

The Alihaha battalion, which was later known as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, gathered more than 3,000 infantry and horse armor soldiers, and after the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and before the generals of each Zhangjing, there was a Bayala Battalion of more than 2,000 people.

Bayala battalion is also the guard battalion, that is, the famous white armor soldiers, they are all born in the vests of each banner, at least in the banners for more than ten years, are veterans in their thirties, they are in their prime, and the combat experience is also very rich, everyone wears double armor or three-layer battle armor, horse bows and foot bows are complete, as well as throwing weapons such as axes and javelins, and the hands are spears and halberds and fine iron sickles and pick knives, from the armor and weapons, it is far more than the ordinary cavalry battalion soldiers.

As for the soldiers of the forward battalion with fewer numbers, they are not only old vest soldiers, but also very good personal martial arts can be selected, and courage, experience, martial arts and equipment are indispensable.

Therefore, although the number of the forward battalion is the smallest, it is to be used in the most critical occasions.

All the soldiers finished putting on their armor, and at this time, they moved their bodies on horseback one by one, looking at the Ming army formation on the opposite side.

"It's going to be a tough battle today."

Like Abatai, many of the soldiers in the team who are old white armor or forward battalions, even if they have no official position, have quite strong battlefield experience and intuition, and as soon as they see the Ming army's formation, they understand that it is unrealistic to expect to charge with cavalry and then use cavalry to suppress the Ming army's position and chaos.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to get off the horse and fight."

"That's nothing, let's fight on foot, these southern barbarians, killing a hundred times is also killing them."

"Let's start quickly, it's a good rest after the fight!"

While they were talking, all of these Jurchen veterans were expressionless and calm, and everyone was as calm and indifferent as a rock.

Years of war have sharpened them into an efficient war machine, and they don't care about anything other than their killing skills and enthusiasm for war.

Many people are covered with scars, bloody battles for more than ten years, and dozens of wounds, so there is no sense of excitement and fear for the upcoming war, they don't know how many wars they have experienced, they know the Ming army very well, and they think that after the most fierce resistance, the victory will still be their own side, so when they look forward to it, their faces are also full of arrogance, and they don't really look at the Ming army on the opposite side at all.

No matter how much the Ming army tosses, in the eyes of the Jurchen warriors, they are still just a pitiful worm, and if they reach out and press it, they will get the expected victory, and they will never have any doubts about this!

………… The rumbling drums became more and more dense and exciting.

Facing the formation of the Ming army, Abatai's response was to mobilize most of the main forces of the three battalions of the Jurchens, prepare for a rapid assault, and break the central main formation of the Ming army.

On the two wings, he put a small number of Eight Banner soldiers, and placed more than 2,000 Mongolian banner soldiers on the right flank of the Ming army.

On the left flank are 2,000 Han troops, who do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

As soon as the central center broke through, it immediately outflanked and inserted it into the left and right flanks respectively, and rolled back, and when the time came, the overall situation would be decided.

If the Ming army is in a horizontal formation, there may still be a chance to escape, and once this formation is broken, it can only wait for the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

Abatai naturally had no doubts about this result.

At the sound of drums, a large number of cavalry began to move, and the distance between the two armies was just enough for these knights to gallop wildly for a while.

The four hooves of more than 10,000 war horses struck on the cold and solid ground in winter, shaking the floating dust dozens of meters high, the earth was shaking, trembling, and the entire Qing army, like a huge black and gray monster, rushed towards the main formation of the red and yellow Ming army that confronted them.

............ "They're moving." Zhang Quanbin put down the binoculars in his hand and ordered: "The whole battalion is ready for war!" ”

The main formation of the Pingyu army was not as heavily guarded as the other Ming army camp heads, and it was one of the important subjects in training to seize any opportunity to conserve physical strength.

After the formation was completed, under the command of the sentry officers at all levels, the platoon commanders, and the captains of the shed, the soldiers in armor all sat down in place to rest.

Although there are dozens of pounds of iron armor on his body, it is much better to sit down cross-legged and get up again than to stand all the time.

In the sharp whistle, rows of soldiers of the Pingyu Army also helped each other to stand up. In this last moment, they helped each other to organize their comrades, re-established each other's positions in the array, adjusted the distance, everything was in order, and there was no confusion at all.

The long-term rigorous and brutal training, galloping and advancing in array under artillery fire, made the nerves of these new army officers and men extremely tenacious, and they were not afraid of the pressure before the arrival of the big war in front of them.

Under the huge smoke, the Qing cavalry slowly approached, because there was no intention of rushing across the Ming army's large array, so the speed of these cavalry was not fast, but only slowly.

As the large force of cavalry approached closer and closer on the horizon, it became clearer and clearer, and under countless banners were dense human heads, the Mongol banner army wearing big hats and red tassels and holding spears and swords, the Han army, and the eight Manchurian banners in heavy armor in the center.

The most eye-catching is the Eight Banners of the Guardian Barracks, everyone's armor is painted with silver glittering white paint, white armor soldiers, mercury soldiers, just look at these armor can also understand.

From such a distance, it seems that you can also see the heavy weapons in the hands of these white armors, as well as those hideous faces under the iron helmets.

After all, the Pingyu Army is still a new army, and many people are nervous at this time, and there are "uh-uh" sounds of swallowing saliva one after another from the entire queue, as well as unbearable heavy wheezing and dry coughing.

"Don't panic, it's all for me!"

"What are you afraid of, you can't escape from the damned, and if you don't die, you will be blessed! Lao Tzu is rough talk, good to fight, the people of the military and political department are behind, after the fight, the merit will be recorded, the merit is third-class, and the third-class merit is forty silver dollars and one hundred stone grain, think about this number, can you go back and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law? ”

"In addition to silver and medals, how difficult is it to train to get a medal? Shuyang's big fat man was so tired that he vomited blood, so he mixed up a medal with excellent training performance and hung it on his chest, how many big girls and little daughters-in-law have hot eyes? People walk with their heads up, let's level the army, heavy military posture, heavy medals, you fight for breath, and wear a piece to go home. ”

"On the battlefield, the more panicked, the more you lose your life, the one who turns around and walks is the first to die, your back leaks to others, who do you cut if you don't cut it? Think about it, doesn't it make sense! ”

"I've been practicing for so long, what's the picture? Isn't it just to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and Bo has a wife and a son! ”

"The enmity of the family and the country, don't forget!"

"Dongyu Tartar kills people without counting, killing a Han person is like killing my brother, and a woman with silver is like my wife and daughter, today you turn around and run away, and you say that your family is ruined, this reason, I have said it hundreds of times!"

"Straighten my waist for me, kill the slave!"

In the high-spirited shouts of the sentry commander to the head of the shed, Cao Qing also rode in front of the battalion, he was burly and strong-tempered, and he had always been known for leading the soldiers bravely, at this time, he pressed the waist knife in his hand, and rode quickly in front of the officers and soldiers of the third battalion, listening to the words of the old soldiers under his command, the standard commander of the battalion was also enthusiastic, and under the excitement, he also pulled out the waist knife, and roared: "Kill slaves, kill slaves, kill slaves!" ”

"Kill slaves!"

Driven by Cao Qing, the three battalions of nearly 5,000 soldiers of the Pingyu Army began to shout, and the high shouts alarmed the left and right wings, although more than ninety percent of Gao Jie's troops were veterans, but the more veterans, the more nervous and fearful they were for Donglu, if it weren't for the fact that they had been in good times for half a year, and the training and discipline were getting stricter and stricter, and the rewards and punishments were in place, this army had also undergone earth-shaking transformation, if it weren't for Gao Jie behind him, and all his subordinates were basically old brothers for many years, The general is an old pole that he brought out single-handedly, if it weren't for Sun Chuanting, who everyone feared, was behind him, I am afraid that when these Qing troops appeared, the entire left wing would be unstable.

After all, rumors of the invincibility of the East have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in the face of this rumored strongest and most terrifying enemy, even the most experienced warrior will be full of fear.

But when the shouts of the Pingyu army came, needless to say, the right flank immediately responded, and then the cavalry and the first battalion of soldiers all followed, and immediately responded to the Pingyu army in the center.

With the shouting, the enemy cavalry also got closer and closer, and the soldiers in the left wing battalion all widened their eyes and clenched the weapons in their hands...... Suddenly, a veteran spat heavily into the ground and scolded loudly: "Fuck it, a group of recruits also have this guts, and the old men are not as good as him?" Brothers, shout also! ”

It was as if a switch had been turned on all of a sudden, and all the soldiers and military attachΓ©s on the left wing also shouted, and the soldiers of the Wanming Army on the entire front, the auxiliaries who were still behind them, the people, and the soldiers of Shandong Town, who were retreating to the rear, also shouted together.

The entire battle line of the Ming army was like a burst of spring thunder rolling by, everyone waved their weapons, kept shouting, many people were hoarse, and they still couldn't stop shouting!

"The morale of the soldiers today is available, and it seems that the slave cavalry can be broken!"

Zhu Dadian is over the age of six, but old and strong, standing under the banner of the Chinese army at this time, he also drew his sword and shouted, and came quickly, blowing the big red official robe on his body trembling, but in any case, this old civil official was also aroused by the soldiers of the Ming army with an unprecedented blood and bravery.

"Yes, now is the time!" Sun Chuanting was more calm, standing on the Yuan Rong car, he decisively ordered: "While the slave cavalry has not yet accelerated, let the whole army line up and advance!" ”
