Xie Fei felt that what Diao Erdou said was very reasonable, and immediately suggested it to many men.

There are three formations, the central head formation is commanded by Wang Pu, the left wing phalanx is commanded by many men, and the right wing phalanx is commanded by Song Kun.

Many men are holding swords and shields at this time, he is actually a sword and shield hand, and his flag corps is a sword and shield hand, but when Yang Chao charges, he will also let them change to a spear to charge.

Many men actually saw that this group of captives was already tired, and they could tell from their appearance just by looking discouraged, and many men didn't know that these captives were originally from the south and had been disabled by them once, these were all remnants, and naturally they had no spirit.

Moreover, many men also felt that the horses of these captives seemed to be tired, and they looked very dull when they ran.

Many men immediately ordered: "Xie Fei, your team follows me and intercepts horizontally!" ”

Xie Fei responded: "Yes!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the captives rushed to him and slashed down with their sabers.

The captives were very cunning, and did not charge from the front, but killed from the right side, and on the right side were the fifteen sword and shield men with many men, and many men not only did not retreat, but shouted: "The sword and shield hand on the right side, the long snake formation is open!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead and rushed to the side, the formation has been practiced countless times, although he has never practiced the wall formation, but many men directly used the long snake formation in the mandarin duck formation, that is, from the column to the horizontal team.

Xie Fei also immediately followed, following closely behind the sword and shield hand.

The captives came from the flank, and the original direction of movement was probably intended to pass through the left flank and then rush through the middle of the two phalanxes, but many men suddenly unfolded, and immediately the act of the captives attacking from the flank turned into a head-on collision with him.

Soon fifteen sword and shield men were swept into the cavalry, and they fought together.

Xie Fei eleven people also rushed forward.

Suddenly, someone in the middle of the captives shouted and neighed. The chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and I saw the sword and shield hands half-squatting on the ground one by one, and the shields were held above their heads. The man leaned in.

Some stabbed people on horses with knives, while others simply crouched down. directly cut off the horse's legs, so for a while the captives were in chaos.

Xie Fei's spearmen are very steady, that is, in the back, constantly stabbing, and they are stabbing people!

Twenty or so captives were accidentally caught by the infantry and killed in less than a quarter of an hour!

Many men shouted: "Hurry back!" ”

Xie Fei immediately led the team to retreat, and many of the male sword and shield soldiers were the opposite. It shrank from a horizontal formation into a column.

At this time, another wave of captives attacked.

Yang Chao stood on the roof, next to several officers, closely watching the form of the battlefield.

Seeing that the captives began to rush hard, Yang Chao also sweated.

Seeing that the birds of the three phalanxes attracted by a group of captives were all shot, Yang Chao felt that the officers were still a little inexperienced.

Seeing that many men had actually used the expansion of the Mandarin Duck Array to eliminate the captives, Yang Chao nodded.

said to Zhao Kang next to him: "Are many men very flexible!" ”

Zhao Kang said: "It's an adult's formation!" ”

I don't know when, Zhao Kang also learned to pat on the back.

Yang Chao was noncommittal, staring at the battlefield tightly.

He saw that the rear of the captives had also begun to attack.

But this time there are some changes.

The captives were all pressed up, and the speed was not fast. Constant archery suppression.

After thirty paces, they divided into two teams, leaving only twenty behind. Constantly shooting arrows, nearly eighty people, unexpectedly dismounted in unison, drew their swords and charged over with infantry formation.

The captives who charged were in front and the unarmored soldiers were behind, and the formation was very tight.

"Not good!"

Yang Chao frowned, he heard Lao Jin say that in fact, the battle in the east is different from that of the Mongolian in the west, when he charges into battle. Dongyu is accustomed to charging in formation, and is very tenacious.

The opponent charges in formation. Obviously, this is going to rush hard, and there are archers shooting arrows behind him to suppress it. The most important thing is that eighty of them lined up in a tight formation, and they did not divide their troops, and they actually killed the phalanx on the right!

Yang Chao had also heard that captives like to attack the flanks in combat.

This is a real hand-to-hand encounter, Yang Chao is a little worried about how Song Kun will deal with it, but he is also a little worried about Wang Pu in the central phalanx, and he doesn't know how Wang Pu should deal with it.

Yang Chao lined up in a zigzag formation, and at first the purpose was to support each other, but when he went to the battlefield, he found that it was unrealistic, because it was not convenient for the military formation to move.

"If Wang Pu is flexible enough, he should spread out his formation and attack the flank of the captives!"

Yang Chao said.

But after speaking, he shook his head again: "No, he should go straight forward and attack the rear of the captives!" The whole formation moves forward to attack! ”

As soon as Yang Chao's words fell, he saw that Wang Pu had temporarily given up the formation, except for the shield cart and the bird gunners and archers who stayed behind, the others had already rushed forward.

"This is completely out of order! If you knew this, it would be better to let him use the mandarin duck array! ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Kang should be next to him.

Yang Chao sighed and said, "Sun Changfu and Zheng Yongwang, immediately go out to support Song Kun!" ”

Zheng Yongwang immediately responded, immediately lay down on the roof, and the whole team ran into the battlefield.

"Lu Mo attacked with a mandarin duck formation to suppress the formation, don't be too fast, keep a distance of ten zhang from Zheng Yongwang, don't easily meet the enemy, and keep responding!"

Lu Mo should be, and also led troops into the battlefield.

There was only one Zhao Kang by his side, and at this time he looked a little anxious, obviously wanting to go down and kill the enemy.

Yang Chao said: "Zhao Kang! ”

"Here!"

Zhao Kang's face was happy.

Yang Chao said: "Take the pro-army team straight into the central phalanx, and immediately let the phalanx move forward and press forward towards the rear of the captive soldiers!" Let many men follow up at the same time! ”

Yang Chao saw that in the field, Wang Pu made another mistake.

He should have attacked decisively just now, which is equivalent to breaking the connection between the front and rear formations of the captives, of course, attacking the flanks of the captives cannot be regarded as a mistake, the real mistake is that he attacked the flanks of the captives, but did not descend the formation at all, rushed up directly, and used the routine of charging in the wall formation.

But at this time, thirty of his men were sword and shield soldiers, and there were only ten spearmen, but he still rushed forward.

In the mandarin duck formation, the sword and shield soldiers are not used to charge and kill the enemy, and most of their role is used to defend. Especially defend against the opponent's bow and arrow.

But this guy is using it as a gunman.

Then it turned into a chaotic battle, and he rushed straight into the flank of the captives, and killed him in the waist.

Song Kun was affected by this at this time. Unexpectedly, he also put aside the formation and deployed his troops from both flanks. He even tried to wrap up the attacking captives.

Yang Chao couldn't help but shake his head, he thought that Song Kun would be better to press forward with the overall formation at this time, pushing the shield cart forward, the archers behind shoot arrows, and the birds shoot guns.

That would be tantamount to splitting the captives with Wang Pu, plus Zhao Kang's support, and rushing straight to the rear of the captives, which is equivalent to dividing the captives into three. Occupy a big advantage.

Song Kun chose to spread out the two wings and wrap them, and the pressure on the captives was much less.

All the reserves that could be used were transferred, and there were almost no soldiers here in the warehouse area, except for some wounded and sick, and the soldiers who guarded them, only two personal soldiers who protected themselves, Li Liang and Zhang Dan, were still there.

Yang Chao was still observing on the warehouse, and saw that the soldiers led by Wang Pu were fighting with the captives, Song Kun's wings rolled upside down, and there were forty people under Wang Pu alone, and Song Kun was still forty people here. In terms of troops, it is not lost to the captives, but the advantage of the formation is gone.

It's good to be able to achieve a one-to-one exchange ratio in a chaotic battle.

But this time, Yang Chao didn't know how to blame the two, and it was Yang Chao's order to send all the people to charge. The purpose is to eliminate the last group of captives in one go, and then they will have to go back to Huai'an or even Nanjing, otherwise the morale of the soldiers will be affected, and it will be a little dangerous for this group of captives to be in front of them.

Of course, Yang Chao could choose other methods, such as destroying the captive camp with artillery, forcing the captives to retreat, and then leaving by boat.

But in that case, the strength of this captive army will not be damaged, and it will remain to continue to plague Haizhou.

Come and think about it. Yang Chao found that his choice was not wrong, but the timing did not seem right. He thought if three days ago. Then the strong morale after destroying the southern captives, and rushing straight to the northern captives, may be the best choice, at that time, their morale is at their peak, and the captives will be demoralized and even suspicious, I don't know why Yang Chao can exterminate his southern companions, and he will definitely be able to eliminate this captives at the lowest cost, and at least give them a major blow, so that they can't gain a foothold near Haizhou.

As a result, when he saw that the soldiers had morale problems because of the long-term fighting, he chose to attack, and he was already passive.

Yang Chao knew that he had no experience in leading soldiers, so he kept summarizing and even reflecting on himself, and I have to say that this is a good habit.

At this time, Sun Changfu and Zheng Yongwang had already rushed forward, one left and one right cooperated with Song Kun to surround the captives.

Lu Mo followed the two and used the mandarin duck formation to move forward steadily.

Zhao Kang went straight into the central phalanx, immediately took over the command, ordered the phalanx to move forward, and at the same time sent people to notify many men, so that many men could approach the rear of the captives.

The battle formation, which was glued together, suddenly had the addition of this hundred new forces, and the balance immediately tilted.

With the addition of Sun Changfu and Zheng Yongwang, Song Kun's encirclement progressed more smoothly, with the shield car as the rear formation, blocking the captives to the south, and the left and right flanks rolled up, forcing and suppressing the captives' forwards.

At this time, the captives had fallen into chaos, and the center was killed by Wang Pu and his troops, and the waist was cut off, and the rear team of the forward team lost their direction to fight separately, and the forward was soon surrounded by Song Kun, and Zheng Yongwang's troops began to besiege and kill.

And Zhao Kang rushed straight to the rear, but instead of going straight to the last 20 or so captives, but to the captives attacking in the front, trying to cut off the connection between the captives and the rear, as for the 20 or so people in the rear, they were handed over to many men.

If this tactical action is really completed, all of the more than 100 captives will be explained this time, and none of them will be able to escape.

But the captives were not stupid, and suddenly a horn sounded behind them, which was the unique horn of the captives!

As soon as the trumpet sounded, the second half of the captives who were cut off by Wang Pu actually began to retreat, and the horses quickly left the battle formation.

It's just that the first half of the captives cut off by Wang Pu have been surrounded from front to back, left and right, and there is no hope of retreating.

Wang Pu, Sun Changfu, Zheng Yongwang, and Song Kun joined forces to strangle the encircled captives.

Many men over there had already approached the front of the captive camp without resistance, while Zhao Kang had been chasing the retreating cavalry of the captive soldiers, although he did not catch up, nor did he let this group of people calmly join the rear formation, or let them sneak attack many men.

Besides, there were only about 30 captives who retreated, and when they retreated, they were killed nearly 10 people, plus the 22 people who pressed the rear formation, and the captives were only 50 people.

I saw that the thirty captives did not return to the camp at all, but walked around the camp and fled far from the north.

The twenty men in front of the camp were no better than the thirty, and when they had finished blowing the trumpet, they all ran away.

When many men and Wang Pu advanced to the front of the camp, it was already an empty camp.

After some temptation, and found that there was indeed no ambush inside, he immediately killed it, and soon the cheers of the Ming army came from the camp. (To be continued).
