The July sun hung high in the sky, and the fire-like sun shone on the earth.

The south of Jiaozhou is empty, and the noise of the past is gone, only a piece of dilapidated shacks remains, but the owners of the shacks have left, and they can still see their backs heading east.

Huang Fengwu stood in the shade of the tree, caressing the neck of the war horse next to her with one hand, her slippery hands were full of sweat, and she was even more sweaty in the helmet and armor, and in windless weather, even if she stood in the shade of the tree, she couldn't stop the sweat.

The 1,700 Daishan and Zhoushan coalition forces also sat on the ground under the shade of the trees, and although they were sitting, they were still neatly arranged.

The news brought by Li Ding Ren Siqi had already sent someone to inform Huang Fengwu, and Huang Fengwu knew that a small lighted bridge could not stop the footsteps of a large army at all.

Huang Fengwu only hoped that the full army would come later, so that the people who left would be safer. In fact, with Huang Fengwu's idea, Ren Siqi should also leave with 3,000 recruits with the people, and it was completely up to him. As long as they can hold back the full army for a while, the people can leave safely by boat.

Ren Siqi also told Huang Fengwu his thoughts, that is, he was worried that these 1,700 infantry were not the opponent of the Manchurian soldiers at all. If it fails, it will not be able to escape the slaughter of the full army, and these soldiers are the only elite of the Daishan Army now, and they cannot afford to lose.

Therefore, Ren Siqi's idea was that Huang Fengwu led the troops out of the city to block for a while, and if the people went far away and the troops were not full, they would immediately enter the city to defend. From the city of Jiaozhou, plus the newly recruited army has nearly 5,000 soldiers, it is completely possible to fight with more than 1,000 full soldiers, and with the city wall, it can completely repel the attack of the full army, and then withdraw from the city and retreat to the bank of the Jiaolai River to get on the boat.

And Ren Siqi had a faint thought in his heart, that is, to fight a fierce battle with the Manchurian soldiers to test the current strength of the Daishan Army. In previous battles, most of the Daishan army was victorious, and the opponents who could go ahead were too weak. Now facing the most powerful Manchu soldiers in the East, the most able to test the combat power of the Daishan army.

This time, there are only more than 1,000 full soldiers, and the Daishan army has 1,700 veterans, more than 3,000 new soldiers, and nearly 5,000 troops still have cities to defend.

Of course, Huang Fengwu didn't fully understand Ren Siqi's heart, but she had a stronger desire to fight than Ren Siqi.

The backs of the people gradually disappeared from sight, and Huang Fengwu was just about to order the whole army to return to the city, when suddenly there was a gong sound from the city, which was used to convey the enemy's situation. At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves reached my ears.

There are full troops coming around the city!

Huang Fengwu hurriedly ordered the whole army to stand up, and as soon as he lined up the array, he saw dust flying at the corner of the city in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

"Array!" Huang Fengwu gave an order, followed by the drummer behind her and beat the waist drum, and the 1,700 infantry faced the west, discharging a rectangular array. Two hundred musketeers lined up in front of the formation, followed by pikemen with shields in the first and second rows, and two more pikemen in the back.

As soon as the formation was set, hundreds of cavalry were seen sweeping from the west.

The sound of horses' hooves is like thunder and shocking, the formation of hundreds of war horses galloping quickly is so terrifying, the cavalry is still more than a hundred steps away, the cold wind brought by galloping has been blowing in the face, maybe it is not the cold wind, but the chill born in the heart of the Ming sergeant.

There has never been a large brigade of cavalry in the south of the Yangtze River, and the soldiers of Daishan and Zhoushan have never seen the formation of cavalry galloping. Seeing the tall war horse quickly towards him, no one doubted that if he was hit, he would definitely break his tendons and fractures.

The faces of the soldiers of the Ming army turned pale one by one, and their trembling strands trembled, if it were not for the strict training on weekdays, it is estimated that many people would definitely turn around and flee.

The formation of hundreds of cavalry galloping is still like this, if it is tens of thousands of iron cavalry, how thrilling is it?

Huang Fengwu stood in the middle of the formation on horseback, his face was also pale. Ren is a skilled martial artist, familiar with strategy, and has never seen a large number of cavalry attack. But now is not the time to be in a daze.

"The musketeers are ready to shoot, the shield bearers are holding their shields!" Huang Fengwu's sharp command penetrated the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and reached the ears of every soldier.

The soldiers at the front of the formation hurriedly unmounted their shields from their backs and placed them in front of them.

The two hundred musketeers raised their arquebuses with trembling hands, and the muzzles of their guns trembled and they could not aim.

The Manchu cavalry was extremely fast, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, and quickly rushed towards the Ming array.

"Bang" A Ming army musketeer was too nervous in the face of the galloping war horse, and his shaking hands involuntarily hooked the trigger.

Hearing the sound of his gun, the other musketeers opened fire. Two hundred bullets rained down on the Manchu cavalry, but few were hit, only a few of them fell from their horses with a few staggering, and the others continued to ride their horses without paying attention.

The distance of 100 steps has exceeded the range of the musket, and the effective range of the arquebus at the end of the Ming Dynasty was only about 50 steps (80 meters), and the low hit rate of exceeding this range is pitiful.

"Bastard!" Huang Fengwu couldn't help but scold, and immediately ordered the musketeers to retreat behind the spear array.

The two hundred musketeers turned around in relief, and returned to the pikemen from the gap between the shieldmen.

"Raise your gun!" With Huang Fengwu's order, the spears of the first rank of pikemen stretched out from the gap in the shield, the spearmen of the second row placed the barrels of their spears on the shoulders of the spearmen of the first row, and the spears of the third row of pikemen pointed into the air.

More than a thousand spears stretched out from the phalanx, spikes like hedgehogs pointed at the enemy.

With such an array, Huang Fengwu believed that even if the cavalry was elite, it would be impossible to break through.

Two hundred musketeers lined up behind the line in despair, silently reloading the gunpowder bullets, the firing of which had left them speechless with shame.

Huang Fengwu didn't have time to pay attention to these musketeers, and looked angrily at the full iron cavalry that was getting closer and closer in the distance, holding the gun tightly with one hand and waiting for the upcoming battle.

However, when the Manchu cavalry rushed to the infantry phalanx less than fifty paces, the cavalry grabbed the reins, and the horses turned half a circle in front of the formation, relaxing towards both ends of the phalanx.

Before ramming the spear array, the Manchu cavalry actually flinched? The soldiers of the Ming army breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The change of formation of the full cavalry was very smooth and very smooth, and in the blink of an eye, the three hundred full cavalry changed from a vertical column to a horizontal formation, and aimed the horse's head at the phalanx.

What do they want to do? Just when the soldiers of the Ming army were puzzled, they saw the cavalry hanging up their weapons one after another and taking their bows and arrows from their backs.

One by one, they bent their bows and arrows on their horses, and arrows flew like rain towards the Ming army. (To be continued.) )
