According to Qi Jiguang's art of war, whenever a large army crosses the river, it first crosses the river with beams and horses, and then crosses the water with a sentry and a sentry, but the current situation is not tolerated, and he cannot cross the river calmly.

Turning his head again, there are not many thieves behind him, only a small group of horsemen wandering, as long as Vice General Sun can gain a foothold, the new army of Yutian Town will cross the shore again, in addition to the cavalry that must escort the infantry battalion, the remaining knights can be used as a cover to cross the river, as well as as as the general retreat of the army.

Soon, Cao Bianjiao finished arranging, and decided that after a quarter of an hour, he would attack.

The military horn sounded, and in the cheers and blessings of the officers and soldiers of Yutian Town, the new army of Zunhua Town strode to a place on the bank of the river to form a team.

The painters in Cao Bianjiao's camp have already chosen this area, the slope of the river is gentle, and the same is true on the opposite bank, perhaps except for the silt in the river, there will be nothing to cause obstacles to the brothers who cross the river.

The sound of drums and the flying of flags, the new army of Zunhua Town quickly converged into a large formation one by one, because of the need for intensive attack and defense, they restored the kind of array of four rows of gunners and four rows of gunners, so that they could concentrate more powerful firepower.

Of course, if you stand in position and march again, it will evolve into that kind of flexible and changeable concave and convex formation.

The new army moved quickly and changed formations quickly, which was incomparable to ordinary Ming troops.

These sergeants are all well-trained, and they are well paid, if it were not for the meritorious service system of the Jingbian Army. Every time they go out in battle, they also capture a lot, in terms of treatment, in fact, they are not as good as the new army under the command of Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen, after all, they also have land and land, and they also have military salaries, and the Jingbian Army has no military salaries.

Under the influence of the Jingbian Army, the new army under the command of the second marshal also gave birth to a hazy germination of ideas about who to fight for, which is far from being comparable to the insensitive old-style army of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for Wang Dou. They are the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is unfair to compare with the Jingbian Army, after all, they are the crystallization of a series of advanced systems, and they can be said to stand on the shoulders of giants. Now it works. It's already quite rare.

Vice Admiral Sun looked at his subordinates proudly. The officers of Yutian Town, at the same time, paid attention to the soldiers of the second town. While forming a deep friendship in the war, it is inevitable to secretly compare who is superior and who is inferior, and the conclusion is that the two are comparable.

The soldiers were arrayed, and they hunted with banners, and not far ahead, about 400 horsemen were also assembled.

Vice General Sun looked at Cao Bianjiao sharply, and Cao Bianjiao nodded heavily.

Vice General Sun raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, pointed his horsewhip forward, and roared: "Cross the river!" ”

The sound of neat footsteps, the new army of Zunhua Town was close together, their soldiers in red cotton armor were in front, and the spearmen in cyan waist-length armor were behind, each of them held their firearms and spears in their hands, pointed obliquely forward, walked firmly along the front, and walked neatly.

Almost all of them had haggard faces and ragged clothes, but all of them had firm eyes and resolute expressions, and on the left side of their team, the officers also pointed their swords forward.

The army marched calmly in the sound of drums, the drumbeat was short and powerful, and their steps were full of strength, and the army marched along the slope until it went down the riverbed, and the wind on the river beach made their red flag more and more waving, and the cold light of their neat weapons seemed to be constantly distorted along the terrain.

The army seemed to be moving forward like a mountain, until it entered the river, and the rogue sentry on the bank kept running, or someone was ready to attack, shoot arrows or release guns, but under the command of Cao Bianjiao, the four hundred horsemen, had already crossed the river in advance, fought with those rogue horses, and killed together.

Because of the large number of thieves and horsemen, the sentry cavalry under the command of Cao Bianjiao could not be used in the early stage, so even the opposite bank across the river was occupied by the intruders, but they passed with a momentum, and the thief sentry on the shore was not an opponent, and they retreated one after another.

Only these cavalrymen were the only ones who crossed the river and were killed or wounded by the intruders who were stationed on the shore because of the stagnation of the river.

The cavalry on the opposite bank reacted very quickly, and as soon as their own sentry cavalry retreated, and even when the Ming army began to cross the river, they gathered in the cavalry army array, and divided a large group of horsemen, no less than 5,000 horsemen, and rushed to the bank of the river, intending to attack the new army that had not yet gained a foothold, and there were still several forces waiting behind.

"Cross the river quickly!"

Adjutant General Sun yelled, whipping his mount in the water hard, and rushed ashore to wait and see the enemy's situation.

His guards and standard-bearers followed breathlessly, and his Chinese standard-bearers, as soon as they reached the shore, raised the flag with all their might, shaking it desperately.

The rest of the new army soldiers in Zunhua Town also desperately struggled to move forward in the river, and their queue was inevitably a little crooked at this time, but as long as they went ashore and rectified the array, they were not afraid of the impact of the rogue horsemen.

Cao Bianjiao's expression was solemn, the critical time had come, he saw that the knights who had come ashore in the early days had already dispersed to the left flank, and they might have noticed that some of the cavalry warriors coming from the front were trying to move to the outside of the left flank.

Cao Bianjiao decided to send an additional 500 horsemen to cross the shore again, so as not to attack the right flank of the new army ashore, although the new army was outstanding in combat power, but the two wings were weak.

At the same time, the Chinese army stepped up the repair of the wooden bridge, so that the traffic between the two sides of the strait was restored, and the new army in the town led by Yang Shaofan was also arrayed, ready to cross the river at any time.

The hooves roared in the distance, and the thief horsemen who were half-crossing came quickly, and in a blink of an eye they were not very far from the new army crossing the river, but fortunately, the new army in Zunhua Town was also fast, and soon, in the anxious eyes of Vice General Sun, they went ashore one after another, not caring about the mud on their feet and trousers, and immediately formed a team.

They stayed about thirty paces from the riverbank, where a large area of abandoned wheat fields, dry and hard with weeds, was empty and level, and the new army gathered here after coming ashore, and according to their good qualities, when the rogue rode nearer, they were basically ready.

Even so, the enemy cavalry was only more than 200 steps away from the battle line at this time, and it arrived in an instant.

This is also the convenience of the linear battle formation, if it is an ordinary military formation, the front and rear are huge, and it is impossible for the whole team to be so fast after going ashore, and the enemy is so half-crossed. It was really very dangerous, the infantry was not neat, and in the face of the cavalry, the consequences were unimaginable.

Seeing the dense cavalry coming like a tide, Vice General Sun relieved himself and finally crossed the river.

"Hoo ......"

One of the gunners blew the fiery rope on the musket to make it burn brighter, and the fiery ropes on the muskets of each of them were already lit on the opposite side.

It seems that when you get here, the wind and dust are blowing even more. Fortunately, everyone used East Road firearms. There is a fire door mechanism that opens and closes automatically, and the moment the fire rope falls, the lid flashes open, except for a few unlucky eggs. It is difficult for primers to be blown away by the wind. This is also the truth of Zhao Shizhen's Xuanyuan Yin and Yang machine.

Of course, this device is not small. Yin opens the door, Yang is angry, and the two cooperate at the same time. It also needs to be coordinated, and it is not possible to take a step earlier or a step later, but it is not something that can be made casually.

Among the six or seven main parts of the arquebus, if there is no automatic locking device, it is indeed easy to build, of course, the rate of mute fire is high, after all, the wind and sand in the north are large.

This device is also necessary to build a flintlock pistol.

The Liucai got closer, and Vice General Sun shouted, "Prepare for battle!" ”

"Hey!"

With a roar from his brothers, the soldier lowered his firearm and aimed it at the enemy in front of him.

With him, there were more than 350 firearms in the front row, and the red flags behind each of them were vigorously agitated in the cold wind.

"Put!"

The men in the front row fired a volley, and the raging flames continued to erupt, and then turned into a thick white smoke that covered the front area.

The fierce salvo made the galloping cavalry scream, such a salvo is difficult for the army to resist, originally saw the officers and soldiers crossing the river so quickly, especially quickly assembled into a formation, these horsemen who were ready to cross the half-crossing, there was some hesitation in their hearts.

It's just that the change is too fast, and the situation in the Mercedes is unknown, so I am particularly lucky, so I let them continue to rush, and then after a volley, they are blinded.

Seventy paces before the battle formation of the new army, more than 350 firearms were fired in a volley, killing and wounding at least 200 rogue horsemen, causing them to wail and the neighing of the horses even more intensively.

What does it feel like to be shot? Take the shoulder as an example, it is like being hit with a stick suddenly, and in an instant I feel that the whole shoulder cannot be found, and there is no feeling on this half, and then there is a sudden pain, a pain in the heart.

This is still the bullet of later generations, with strong penetration, replaced by lead bullet at this time, the person who was hit in the body was thrown into the blender in an instant like internal organs, and was frantically beaten into minced meat within a tenth of a second, and the pain seemed to penetrate deep into the soul.

It is also the result of the resistance of the soft buckshot, which tumbles and deforms in the body and internal organs, making a mess of everything inside......

"Put!"

The second row of gunners then fired another volley, and a huge roar exploded like beads, and the guns and flames were once again connected......

……

The new army soldiers of Zunhua Town shot three layers in a row, the fourth layer had not yet fired, the half-crossed cavalry had collapsed, and the horsemen who were lucky to be alive at the front were even more like headless flies, and many people were screaming and running wildly, all looking frightened.

The cavalry rushed into battle, and the closer they charged, the greater the casualties in front, and of course, the greater the pressure on the infantry in the formation, depending on who could not withstand it first.

Obviously, the invading army could not support it in the first place, after three rounds of salvos, the fierce firepower, more than 5,000 invading horsemen, and the casualties of men and horses were at least five or six hundred, with the will to fight of the thieves, there were so many casualties, it was impossible to have the perseverance to fight.

In fact, in the absence of elite escorts or strict orders in the rear, even the Qing cavalry did not have the courage to fight, and their casualty acceptance rate was normally six percent.

Whenever the Jingbian Army faced a battle, it often had a salvo of front-row gunmen to solve the battle at one time, after all, in the era of semi-hot weapons, the power of the salvo was too great, and few troops could tolerate it.

Compared with the hungry soldiers and infantry battalions, the cavalry soldiers are much stronger in combat power, but because most of the hard bones are gnawed by the hungry people and infantry, the will to fight of the cavalry may be lower than that of the crazy hungry people.

Special flow battalion military system, horsemen and old battalion horsemen in the rear to pick up cheap, less hard battles, there are cheap they occupy, see the situation is not good, but can be the first to escape, the horsemen have more in their hearts to retain the strength of the mind.

Rushing up when winning and crushing thousands of miles when defeating is a common phenomenon for them, so these half-crossed horsemen fled in fear.

Three rounds of volleys, the thousands of horsemen who broke into the camp were routed, and the men and horses in the rear pulled out their horses and fled.

Some of the cavalry soldiers who attacked the two wings were originally fighting with Cao Bianjiao's cavalry, but seeing this situation, they also fled back, and thousands of horses and wolves rushed to the pigs, and the idea of attacking the camp in half of the camp came to naught.
