Chapter 290: The phalanx was broken by the full army

ps: There are a lot of things in the unit this week, and there is basically no code word time during the day, so the update is a little late, forgive me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, the author-kun is really not very good at writing battles, so he writes very slowly.

The array of the full cavalry changed quickly, and before the Ming soldiers could come to their senses, hundreds of arrows had already been shot at their heads.

"Raise the shield," Huang Fengwu shouted loudly. The soldiers in the front row raised their shields one after another, protecting the entire array behind the shield.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, but a few arrows entered the formation through the gaps in the shield.

Muffled snorts rang out one after another, and many Ming soldiers were shot by arrows. It was good to be able to cry out in pain, because the arrows of the full soldiers were shot with extreme accuracy, and many soldiers were shot in the throat of the front door, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

After shooting an arrow, the soldiers drew an arrow and hit it on the bow, aiming it slightly, and then firing it again. Three hundred soldiers were full, but the arrows they shot were like flying locusts, end to end, and they were endless.

Moreover, the arrows shot by the full soldiers were extremely tricky, and they specially selected the faces and throats of the Ming army to shoot in places that could not be protected, even if some soldiers were wearing armor, they could not prevent the accurate shooting of the full soldiers.

Huang Fengwu danced the spear in her hand, and kept striking the flying arrows, she was secretly glad in her heart, if it wasn't for a battle with Wang Aoyong's green battalion some time ago, she understood her weaknesses, and put some effort into defense, in today's battle, I am afraid that with these three hundred full soldiers, her side would have to suffer a big loss.

"What about the musketeers? Shoot! Although there were shields to cover them, and some of the soldiers were wearing armor, there were still soldiers who were shot by the full army, and it was not okay to be beaten and not fight back, Huang Fengwu urgently ordered the musketeers to shoot.

Most of the musketeers had already loaded their gunpowder bullets, and feeling the recklessness of the first round of shooting, they became a little calmer, the fear in their hearts was much less, and the hands of the muskets became a little more stable, and one by one they took the muskets from the gap in front of them to the distance full of soldiers.

Hearing Huang Fengwu's order, the musketeers pulled the trigger, "bang bang bang", the sound continued one after another, the distance of about forty paces was already within the range of the musket, and the Qing soldiers sat upright on their horses again, and the target was very obvious.

Under a round of fire, more than thirty full soldiers fell from their horses screaming. The other full soldiers immediately reversed the direction of their shots and threw them at the rear of the Ming army.

Due to the cover of the pikemen in the front rows, the full soldiers could not fire directly at the musketeers behind the formation, and could only use the method of projectile. A projectile is much worse than a direct shot, but it's also more difficult to defend. Dozens of musketeers who were reloading gunpowder with their heads bowed were shot in the back of the skull by arrows falling from the sky, and the only more than 100 pieces of armor of the Daishan army were mainly distributed to the officers, and the musketeers were dressed in cloth uniforms and had no defense at all.

In a round of projectiles fired by the Qing soldiers, at least thirty or forty of the Daishan musketeers were shot.

Of course, he couldn't stand here and let the full soldiers shoot with bows and arrows, Huang Fengwu gave the order, and the whole team moved forward, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the full soldiers.

With Huang Fengwu's order, the four drummers beat the waist drum, the pikemen marched forward in a neat queue with the beat of the drum, and the shield bearers in the front row held their shields high and firmly protected the marching queue behind the formation.

Seeing the Ming army's spear phalanx killing his side, the remaining more than 200 full cavalry immediately turned their horses and retreated. The cavalry and infantry spears who lost their speed fought in a phalanx, and that was only the share of slaughter.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the full cavalry, the musketeers of the Daishan army fired another round, shooting more than a dozen full soldiers off their horses. Seeing the full cavalry retreating, Huang Fengwu immediately ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit and retreat slowly.

The enemy's 300 cavalry is only an outpost, and it will inevitably be followed by a large group of full troops, Huang Fengwu plans to retreat back to the city with the whole army, relying on the city wall to resist the enemy's attack.

However, before the Ming army could take a few steps back, the fleeing Manchu cavalry came back again, but this time they stopped fifty paces away and shot at the Ming array.

Most of the bows and arrows of the full army were short bows used for hunting, but they were powerful but had a short range, and even if they could be shot at a distance of more than 50 paces, they could only cause minor injuries unless they hit the vital point.

Huang Fengwu knew that the purpose of the Manchu cavalry was to delay his retreat, so as to wait for the arrival of the large group of men and horses to encircle and annihilate the Ming army.

Even if he knew the purpose of the full army, Huang Fengwu couldn't order to retreat immediately, if the formation was scattered and gave the enemy a chance to take advantage of, the nearly 300 cavalry in front of him was enough to crush his own array, and he could only let the enemy slaughter at that time.

But the main force of the full army should be about to arrive, Huang Fengwu thought nervously, ordered the musketeers to load the muskets and put them on guard, and then slowly retreated except for the other pikemen with shields in the first row.

Seeing that part of the Ming army was retreating, the full army approached, and at this moment, half of the musketeers opened fire one after another, and then slowly retreated under the protection of their shields.

Seeing that the Ming musketeers were shooting, it would take some time to reload the gunpowder again, and the opponent's phalanx was much thinner, the full cavalry leader Jia La'e really saw the hope of breaking the enemy, and immediately ordered the whole army to ride horses and charge into battle.

The remaining more than 250 Manchurian cavalry immediately hung their bows and arrows behind them, and accelerated towards the Ming array.

I saw the full cavalry rushing towards my array. Huang Fengwu immediately ordered a change of formation. The pikemen on both sides quickly concentrated in the middle, and one row of pikemen became two, half shorter but much thicker.

When the full cavalry rushed to twenty paces, the musketeers quickly opened fire, this time aiming at the high-speed moving war horse, such a close distance, such a large body, there is no reason to miss it.

Even though only half of the musketeers fired, seventy or eighty men fired at the same time, and the impact of the fire fell to the horses in front, and a full fifty horses were shot down, and the full soldiers on them screamed and slammed into the ground with the horses.

Two rows of pikemen stuck the end of their spears into the dirt, their barrels pressed against their shields, their heads pointed diagonally forward.

Listening to the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and looking at the war horses that were hitting at high speed, the Ming soldiers were pale and nervous.

Huang Fengwu has always been the target of the Qing soldiers, and she is too blinking when she is wearing a bright silver armor and a red horse under her crotch. Although she is excellent in martial arts, and her spear protects most of her body, she can't protect the war horse under her. The red horse was shot five or six arrows and could no longer support it and fell to the ground.

Looking at the fast-hitting iron horseman, Huang Fengwu bit his lower lip tightly, and his hands tightly grasped the barrel of the bright silver spear.

A strange shout came out of the mouth of the full soldier, urging the war horse to crash towards the thin battle formation of the Ming army at full speed.

The war horse slammed into the Ming army with great kinetic energy, and the war horse in the front row was deeply pierced into the chest and abdomen by the sharp spear, and died with a roar, but the thin phalanx of the Ming army also became fragmented under the huge impact, and was hit out of a huge gap.
