Chapter 163: Danger Arises, Turning the Tide of the Battle
At this time, the officers and soldiers relied on their own well-trained, formed a formation and began to scatter to chase and kill both the beggar army, and the beggar army's side, due to the lack of necessary battle formation training, relied on the courage of each person to resist for a while, it was really not an opponent, after paying thirty or forty casualties, it gradually could not support it, and began to rout, and some of the warlords could not resist at all.

Yao Jinren, the garrison of the official army, took advantage of this opportunity to join the battle again with two phalanxes, preparing to defeat the main force of the begging army's artillery array in one fell swoop, and selected the last elite more than 30 people around him to start a direct assault artillery array, preparing to disrupt the bow and arrow team that was beginning to form in the rear at this moment.
Zhao Mosheng was worried for a while that the front had begun to collapse one after another, and when he saw that the officers and soldiers had arrived, he hurriedly commanded his personal guards to block the officers and troops who broke through, and neglected the support for the formation.
"What is Zhao Mosheng doing? Let the officers and troops break into the formation, once they follow up, the formation is not guaranteed, and the entire artillery array will fall into the slaughter of the officers and soldiers, why not pull the reserves up? Li Jing watched the fire behind him, and the whole team of two thousand people was pressed and beaten by three or four hundred officers and soldiers, which is reasonable.
Time didn't wait for me, Li Jing didn't dare to delay for a moment, he directly ordered a general, and roared, "Lead your troops and horses to fight with me and kill the officers and soldiers!" ”
"Yes!" A sturdy man who was pointed out immediately went down to act at this moment, and the entire army had already prepared, at this moment with swords and guns in hand, closely following Li Jing towards the artillery array, and the headquarters commander flag did not move, still erected on the cart behind the team, to calm the hearts of the whole army.
"There is no advance or retreat, a decisive victory, right now!" At this moment, Li Jing took three or four hundred people to leave the main formation, killed into the official army, relying on the numerical advantage, temporarily forced the official army away, and saw the two follow-up phalanxes of the official army two or three hundred people coming up, and immediately anxious, if the artillery array collapsed, the morale would be greatly damaged, and the remaining soldiers of the main formation would definitely be scattered.
Thinking of this, Li Jing saw his own new force joining the battlefield, and finally stabilized the battle situation for a while, and then looked back at the direction of the artillery, the team of more than 100 people was entangled with more than 30 officers and soldiers, and the remaining four or five hundred archers stayed in place and could not move.
Li Jing directly hit the horse and galloped wildly, almost pointing at the faces of the generals and roaring, "Zhao Mosheng, take your headquarters soldiers and horses, and immediately exterminate this group of thieves who broke through, Wang Erhammer, I order your crossbowmen to move forward, directly behind the formation, to block the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers, if you let one go, I want your head!" ”
After saying this, he looked at the three or four hundred firearms soldiers who had dispersed here, and saw that they were still loading ammunition in a panic, and immediately became angry, and shouted directly, "When you have wooden sticks on your waists?" They all took their sabers and went up to beat this group of officers and soldiers. ”
It is really that the loading of firearms is too slow, and the battle situation is unfavorable, and in the panic, it is even more hurried to forcibly stuff it, and the barrel is already unbalanced with the bullets, not to mention how slow it is, even if there is a very good quality in the heart, the loading is on, and the target for shooting cannot be found, after all, the officers and soldiers are all mixed with their own teams.
And the commanders of this army, most of them are temporarily recruited peasant soldiers and low-level military households, not to mention any temporary command, their performance is almost no different from the first time to go into battle, can be expected to be in the battle not to run, is the recognition of the beggar army's move to divide the field.
And Zhao Mosheng lacked skills, and was bullied by the official army to the front of him, and he was also out of proportion, he was just a soldier in the past, after joining Huiji Temple, although he also learned some exercises with Feng Xingman, but after all, he was still in the exploration stage, and he couldn't integrate it, so he naturally took care of one and lost the other, and it was not as comprehensive as Li Jing's view.
At present, Li Jing with more than 300 firearms soldiers, abandoned the bird gun and the three-eyed gun, all the staff took the saber, under the leadership of their respective generals, did not form a formation, directly relying on the numerical advantage, began to gradually put into all directions, although they did not go through strict cold weapon combat training, but these days, good food and drink are raised, and now there are people in command, and they are willing to fight one or two.
In this way, as soon as this new force was put into the battlefield, the officers and troops began to be tightened, and the original more than 300 people had to deal with the beggar army of four or five hundred people, although the battle formation was quite reliable, but there were many beggar soldiers at the moment, and almost more than 1,000 people were invested to join the battlefield.
However, people are not machines after all, and when the large number of beggar soldiers comes immediately, they suddenly feel tired, and the frequency of wielding knives and fighting gradually begins to slow down.
There are spears and wooden spears on the top, and there are sabers to draw cold, no matter how high the martial arts are, they can't stop a few strong men from coming up to fight together.
You must know that since ancient times, the first formation has been the strongest endurance army, and the second wave is naturally the most elite infantry army, and the two battle formations invested by the official army at this moment are like this, and the follow-up is naturally worse.
With more than 500 archers, directly attached to the battlefield of the fight, stretched out their bows and arrows, aimed at the officers and soldiers who followed in, and carried out projectiles.
Another artillery array temporarily lifted the threat, and also continued to open fire, about 40 guns, at a rate of about two or three minutes per round, to follow up, and the rear of the officers and soldiers who tried to join the battlefield launched a fierce attack.
No one in the world can endure the continuous blows of bows and crossbows, as the saying goes, since ancient times, the casualties of elite soldiers need to be stopped, and the follow-up of the two phalanxes of officers and soldiers, about 200 people, under the continuous bow and crossbow shooting, from time to time to drop a few corpses, just thirty steps away, was actually blocked, frightened dare not continue to advance.
And the general flag who led the team was also a little afraid of the battle in front of him, plus these horses were the weak soldiers of the guard fortress in the border town, almost everyone had no armor, and they were also cannon fodder in the army, and the food and salary could not be paid in full, and they were hesitant at the moment, and they didn't dare to move on......
