Chapter 111: Array
Pinran Najia Lazhangjing frowned, but saw that in the southwest direction, more than ten river riders were rushing towards this side.
The phalanx came slowly, and the neat and powerful footsteps seemed to be heard even by Dongjiazhuang, that unique marching battle array, who was it not the Shunxiang Army?
There was a cheer on the head of the city, Gao Shiyin and Yang Tong saw it clearly, and they also laughed at each other: "Sure enough, the adults came, and the adults did not leave our brothers in Dongjiazhuang." ”
Yang Tong shouted outside the city, and suddenly he remembered something, and his face changed greatly: "My lord came out of the city to rescue us, just to confront the light soldiers in this field,"
Gao Shiyin's laughter stopped abruptly.
In order to form a battle queue more quickly, after the whole army was out of the Shunxiang Fort teaching field, Wang Dou ordered each sentry to march in the queue of the battle phalanx. From Shunxiang Fort to Dongjiazhuang, they went all the way, although everyone was a big marching army, but on weekdays, the Shunxiang army practiced hard, and the concept of the queue had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so even in this march, the formation was also neatly arranged, and when encountering a large number of enemies, as long as there was a little team, you could quickly enter the battle.
During the march, it was divided into three last queues, with Han Zhong's left outpost as the front army, and some night guards as sentinels. Sun Sanjie's rear post was the rear army, and Wang Dou's guard standard-bearer and the right sentinel army of the Han Dynasty formed the central army. In addition, the Central Military Department also has Chi Dacheng and some discipline sergeants, and Wang Tianxue leads some doctors as medical personnel.
After the three sentries came out of Shunxiang Fort, there were waves of Qing army sentry horses to sentry to investigate, and some sentry horses also boldly ran to the near place to watch, but under the bombardment of dozens of Shunxiang Fort fire locks and soldiers, they left some corpses, and ran away, just if they were away from a distance to monitor.
Wang Dou didn't bother to pay attention to them, and the group swaggered out of Shunxiang Fort, and kept the marching array all the way, and finally came to the foot of Dongjiazhuang Fort, looking at the head of Dongjiazhuang in the distance, Wang Dou breathed a sigh of relief, finally the rescue was timely, Dongjiazhuang had not fallen, and he was relieved.
Han Chao, who was beside Wang Dou, was also staring at the head of Dongjiazhuang City, and he suddenly whispered to Wang Dou: "My lord is willing to take risks and personally lead the army to rescue, I think Brother Gao and they must be grateful."
That Niu Lu Zhang Jing Ning Erjia was red-faced, and he retreated resignedly, he lost his troops under Shunxiang Fort yesterday, not only the elite soldiers in other Niu Lu. Even the essence of his own cattle was lost, and there was no room for him to speak in this Jiala.
Seeing that he was scolded by Najia Lazhangjing, other Niu Luzhang Kyoto cast a schadenfreude gaze, and his in-laws looked at him, and it was not easy to say anything.
Najia Lazhangjing lined up his troops and prepared to attack. It turned out that there were more than 1,500 soldiers in his Qing army, of which more than 500 were armored soldiers, and the rest were unarmored followers and auxiliaries.
However, in yesterday's battle, the Qing soldiers caused more than 200 casualties under the city of Shunxiang Fort, including more than 120 soldiers wearing heavy armor, as well as the most elite 17 white-armored soldiers in the Niu Lu Zhangjing Niu Lu. Under this Dongjiazhuang, there were more than 50 casualties, of which more than 20 were armored soldiers wearing heavy armor.
In this way, the soldiers of this Jiala have lost more than 140 people, and the remaining soldiers are less than 400. However, this Jiala believed that in the field, as long as he sent a hundred soldiers and three hundred auxiliaries, it would be enough to defeat the bold Ming army on the opposite side.
However, after the battle between Shunxiang Fort and Dong Jiamalaria, Najia Lazhangjing also thought that the Ming army in this place was different, and he decided to send more than 300 soldiers and 300 auxiliary soldiers to attack, and completely wiped out the Ming army in front of him with the momentum of thunder.
He drank orders again and again, and the soldiers and auxiliaries of Niu Lu Zhangjing came out one after another, except for the Niu Lu Zhang Jing Ning Erjia and Twist Gulu who suffered heavy losses yesterday, the remaining three Niu Lu Zhang Jing personally led the army to fight.
Two of them, Niu Lu Zhang Jing, led the infantry army, and each of the forty vest soldiers in his Niu Lu were used as dead soldiers, with double layers of heavy armor, and they broke through the formation first. Then the infantry soldiers in each Niu Lu were supported by archery, and finally the two Niu Lu Zhangjing each led the seventeen Bai Baya La soldiers and two Luo Jiang Shi soldiers in their Niu Lu as sharp soldiers. All of them were dressed in three layers of heavy armor, and led the auxiliary soldiers who supervised each of the 150 people of Niu Lu, and took the opportunity to break into battle.
The remaining Niu Lu Zhangjing led more than 100 elite horsemen, all wearing two layers of heavy armor, one person and two horses, waiting to move on the side, waiting for the front team to disperse the formation of the Ming army, or if there was a hole to drill, they carried out continuous impact and pursuit.
It can be seen that in this arrangement, Najia Lazhangjing has invested a lot of money. Not to mention those soldiers, they are the auxiliary soldiers in the Qing army, they are holding swords and guns, although most of them are not wearing armor, but the armor Lazhangjing believes that even these unarmored followers under his command are enough to surpass the soldiers of the Ming people on the opposite side.
Watching the Qing army march out of the formation, their red and white banner armor was more and more clear, and the Shunxiang army was solemn.
Han Chao whispered to Wang Dou: "Thieves and slaves fight, the dead soldiers are in front, and the sharp soldiers are behind." The dead soldiers were heavily armoured, and although they died, they did not retreat, and then they received the lightly armored soldiers who were good at shooting. Finally, it is a slave and a thief, and everyone and horses are heavily armoured. When we are bombarded, they rush out, especially good at assaulting left and right, not advancing without seeing any advantage, far or near, more or less, gathering or scattering, or out or not, between movement and stillness, its momentum is extremely strange, and it is the most difficult to prevent

Wang Dou nodded slightly, according to his understanding of history, as well as the battle at Shunxiang Fort yesterday, it is true that the infantry of the Qing army used this tactic.
And their cavalry, which is very difficult to defend. Fluctuating, mostly from the flanks, or attacking the flanks, one is careless, they find an opportunity, let them break through from the flanks. In fact, their cavalry also has a tactic, that is, to use the dead soldier to ride the horse into battle, the dead soldier is not only wearing double heavy armor, that is, the body of the horse, but also covered with iron armor and cotton armor, and one person has two horses, and a horse can be used for riding after being injured.
However, this kind of heavy armored cavalry is very elite, and it is only the elite of the solid mountain Ezhen of each banner or the elite under the command of each Baylor in the banner, and there must be no ordinary armor.
