On the vast wilderness, the white smoke in the distance drifted with a continuous loud noise, and more than 8,000 foot cavalry, as the right flank assault group of Huguang Town, quickly marched towards the right flank. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 To the beat of the drums of the march, the highly trained officers and men kept the queue neat while maintaining sufficient speed.

At the forefront of the ranks of the foot soldiers was the 1,000th Brigade of the Trap Camp, and the two divisions under its jurisdiction went hand in hand, the first division was on the left and the second division was on the right. Each division has two fronts for the front, and there are four fronts for the entire thousand corps. Each bureau marched in three columns, with only three people in front, which was faster and easier to maintain than a horizontal column. When you arrive at the battle site, you only need to turn to the left, and you can carry out a column attack at the level of a thousand corps facing the center.

Next to the infantry queue were artillery officers directly under the battalion headquarters and below the command headquarters, driving all kinds of artillery and ammunition wagons dragged by pack horses. The winter field was already frozen hard, and the advance of the artillery carriages was just as fast. In the long queue, the rumbling of cars continued.

In the right front of the marching column of the entire trap camp was the 2nd and 3,000 Corps of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, which had their own line of march, acting as the vanguard and providing cover for the large army that followed.

Behind the trapped camp were the remaining more than 2,000 foot soldiers of the Nanchang battalion, commanded by Jin Shenghuan himself. Originally, before this big battle, Pang Yue was not ready to let Jin Shenghuan go into battle in person, but in the end, he agreed under the repeated insistence of Jin Shenghuan himself. Just like Tian Xiong's desire to win on the other side is even greater than Tan Tai's, Jin Shenghuan's strong desire to win this battle is not much better than Pang Yue's. Since the Qing army entered the customs, it has been easy for the people who surrender and rebel to the nine clans, so he knows very well what awaits him once Huguang Town cannot win.

During the march, various bugles sounded at intervals. No one in the queue spoke again, and the roar of guns and shouts of killing from the battlefield ahead was getting closer and closer. The air was filled with heavy gunsmoke, and there was even a faint smell of blood when the wind blew. In the queue of the first division of the 1000th Corps, Ding Liehu's face tightened, and the approach of the battlefield made his heart beat faster and faster, with nervousness, as well as expectation and desire.

Time flew by, and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion was the first to reach near the first line of the right flank, passed through the back of the Steelfront Battalion, and continued to advance outside the right flank of the Steelfront Battalion. Then the trapped camp and the Nanchang battalion also followed, and the battalion flag of the trapped camp and Cui Shoucheng's general recognition flag appeared not far from the battalion flag of the Gangfeng battalion.

At this time, the battle in Nanshan Village in the right front was still raging, with the roar of guns and the sound of killing shaking the sky, and the flames flickering from time to time in the fluttering white smoke. In the left front, the Gangfeng battalion, which had completed the turn, was also fighting a Qing army. Cui Shoucheng looked over at the flag, it was a man with a yellow flag, he should have been sent by Tan Tai to support the direction of Nanshan Village, and was intercepted by the Gangfeng battalion on the way.

Horses kept running by the queue in the camp, passing orders to the various departments. The staff officers and supervisors of the battalion headquarters ran to the outside of the Gangfeng battalion with flags in hand to mark the offensive routes of each unit.

Following the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, the 1000th Brigade of the Steel Front Battalion passed dozens of steps behind the Steel Front Battalion. Ding Liehu glanced to the left as he ran, and through the gap in the phalanx of the Gangfeng Battalion, he could see the white smoke rising in front of the left one by one, and from time to time the spears that were erected were flattened. The battle group in the middle of the front and rear phalanxes let out a roar of rage, constantly launching counterattacks from the gap in the front phalanx.

The roar of firearms, the roar of the tide, and the terrible screams...... The aura of the battlefield on his face made Ding Liehu's mouth dry and his heart beat even more violently. He'd fought in a lot of battles before, but never before had he ever had such a strong impact on the scene.

The team advanced very quickly, and a staff officer of the battalion headquarters with two supervisors rode in front, and successively said something to the commanders of the first and second divisions, as if to indicate the position. Ding Liehu guessed that the combat position was probably about to arrive, and exhaled several large clouds of white mist in a row, trying to calm his breathing and heartbeat.

The sight on the left suddenly became cheerful, and the 1000th Brigade had already taken the lead in crossing the east side of the Gangfeng Battalion, followed by the 2nd and 3000th Corps and the Nanchang Battalion. Ding Liehu looked to the left and saw cavalry from both sides running in the open field, and some rangers were even fighting on a small scale.

At this time, on the left side of the trap camp, the front of the Steelfront Battalion was engaged in fierce fighting. And about a mile in front of the left, another Qing army arrived in a majestic manner, they seemed to have been transferred from another position, the formation had not yet been completed, and the formation appeared a little loose. But the army of thousands of men was mounted on foot and equipped with a lot of artillery, and it looked a little imposing.

A stop call sounded in front of the queue in the trapped camp, followed by officers at all levels loudly passing down the order layer by layer: "Stop! "All of them! Left! ”......

Ding Liehu stood in the queue and turned to the left with the other comrades, and the panoramic battlefield immediately appeared in his field of vision, with an unobstructed view. Through the faint smoke over the middle zone, you can see a human wall erected in the distance on the opposite side and a thick military formation behind the human wall, some artillery pieces are also placed in front of the military formation, and others are constantly being pushed and pulled up from both sides of the military formation. Most of the soldiers in the front row of the army were also holding a firearm that was neither long nor short, like a bird's gun.

Looking at the military array opposite, Ding Liehu gritted his teeth and said silently in his heart: "Father, mother, your second elder and your brothers and sisters are all watching from the sky!" ”

Under the banner of the camp camp, Cui Shoucheng saw the banner on the opposite side clearly, most of them were promoted by Zhejiang, and the main general was Tian Xiong, an old acquaintance of Huguang Town. He couldn't help but snort coldly, and said to the battalion staff officers around him: "It's Tian Xiong's dog thing!" I was originally afraid that if I couldn't catch this dog thing, I wouldn't be able to avenge Huang Shuai, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to send it to the door! ”

Some of the staff officers of the battalion headquarters had followed Pang Yue since the time of Huang Degong, and when they heard that Tian Xiong was opposite, they were all excited.

In a few moments, the five thousand commanders of the trapped camp and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion rode to the battalion flag. Jin Shenghuan also rushed over with a few personal soldiers.

Cui Shoucheng didn't say half a word of nonsense, and first ordered the two thousand commanders of the cavalry: "The right flank of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion and the 2000 Corps are arrayed to suppress the Zhejiang Biao cavalry on the opposite side, and the right flank of the 3000 Corps is on standby." ”

After speaking, he turned to the three thousand generals in the trapped camp: "The second and third thousand commanders of the trapped camp changed their vertical formation into a horizontal formation, and met the enemy in a horizontal formation, and the fire salvo was commanded by the drum and trumpet of the battalion headquarters, and no one was allowed to fire less than fifteen steps, and those who violated the order were killed!" After the 2nd and 3,000 Corps defeated the enemy in front, the 1st Millennial Corps immediately attacked in a vertical formation and went straight to the rear of the Tartars in the middle, and the time of the attack was subject to the drum and trumpet of the battalion headquarters! ”

The commander of the second and third thousand corps was stunned for a moment, and successively raised his own questions: "My lord, in the past, our army's firearms began to fire volleys between fifty and seventy paces, why fifteen paces this time?" ”

"The Tartars on the opposite side are also equipped with a lot of firearms, if our troops do not fire until fifteen paces, will the losses be a little large?"

"The commander ordered us to crush the enemy as fast as possible, and if we fought round by round from fifty paces away, how long would we have to fight? If you want to fight, you can defeat them in one round! As for the losses, I believe that the Tartars will definitely be much greater than our army. Cui Shoucheng said disapprerovingly, "After the fifteen-step salvo is completed, the second and third thousand corps will assault the remnants of Zhejiang's standard formation with a spear formation, strive to defeat them in one round, and drive the rout to their Chinese army." The 1,000th Corps attacked the banner of the Tartar Central Army in a vertical formation. The cavalry on the right flank quickly made a detour to the left after defeating the enemy in front of them, cutting off the retreat of its army to the north. Tan Tai, Yierde, Tian Xiong, one of these bastards counts as one, don't even think about running away. ”

Cui Shoucheng's seemingly understated words made the generals present excited, and the thousand presidents of the second and third thousand teams no longer had any objections, and accepted the order in unison.

"Please also ask Master Cui to give my subordinates an order, Jin and the more than 2,000 sons under his command will not hesitate even if they go to the soup!" Jin Shenghuan said on the side, "Although Jin's subordinates are not as good as the tiger ben in Huguang Town, the rest of these people can be regarded as the rest of their lives. Those who don't have the courage have already run away, and those who are not as skilled as others have long died on the battlefield, and those who are left behind are those who can fight and fight. Thanks to Pang Shuai's life-saving grace, he has been taken care of a lot these days, and there has never been a shortage of food and grass equipment. Now that the heroes of Huguang Town are fighting with the Tartars, how can we have the face to hide behind and watch the excitement? ”

"Jin Shuai, don't worry." Cui Shoucheng showed a hint of a smile and said, "Please line up on the right flank." If the left flank of the Tartars is the first to fail, your troops will outflank them to the right and block their way to the north and west; If the Tartars are the first to break in the middle, your troops will follow the cavalry on the right flank and outflank them to the left, cutting off their way to the north; In the unlikely event that our army is unfavorable or even defeated, it will be up to you to take us out of the battlefield. This task is also crucial, Jin Shuai is a veteran of the battlefield, and I believe that he will be able to do it well. ”

Jin Shenghuan did not hesitate at all, and immediately accepted the order. When he asked to go to the battlefield in advance, he assured Pang Yue that he was willing to obey all of Cui Shoucheng's arrangements.

......

When the military order came, the trumpets and drums sounded, and the 2nd and 3rd Thousand Corps of the trapped camp quickly changed from a vertical formation to a horizontal formation facing the center, and the eight bureaus under their jurisdiction were lined up in a row, forming a wide front. As long as they defeat the green battalion soldiers on the opposite side, they will be able to turn to the banner of the Chinese army attacking Tan Tai due west.

The 1,000th Brigade was still in a vertical formation, with two rounds as the front, and eight rounds arranged in order from front to back. Only the first two innings were lined up in a wide front, creating a local superiority in strength. They will be tasked with the task of quickly attacking its army after breaking through the Qing army's front.

When the formation of the trapped camp was completed, the green battalion soldiers on the opposite side finally hurriedly lined up in formation. On a long front, fighting is still raging elsewhere, and the battle in this direction is about to begin.
