Chapter 997 Push Over

The mountains on both sides of the battlefield were covered with trees that had fallen their leaves, and the snow was on the background, and the undisguised actions of the Eastern Jurchen soldiers could be seen clearly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not only was there an enemy in front, but the two wings were also going to be attacked, and the soldiers who observed the battlefield told Wang Tong about the situation for the first time, and Wang Tong didn't pay attention to it at all, just looked ahead.

The musketeers all withdrew under the shield of the spearmen, and the rear army of the Jurchen cavalry rolled the front army, even if the people in front wanted to hesitate and be timid, but the people behind still pushed forward, in this canyon terrain, the mountains on both sides, it was impossible to escape from other directions.

There is an unwritten rule that the soldiers of the first and second regiments of the Huwei Army should at least start from the small flag when they go to other regiments, and the local regimental training and naturalization city are to be a leader such as a captain.

In front of them was the surging horse team of the Jurchens, and the foot soldiers of the first and second regiments of the Huwei Army looked firm, and the spears in their hands were also not trembling, pointing firmly ahead.

Although the Jurchens were galloping on horseback, according to the rules, some people took bows and arrows from their horses, and the opposing spear infantry array could already be said to be next to each other, and when an arrow was shot in, there would always be a shot.

But the firecrackers on both sides and in the gap between the two spear arrays of the opponent kept firing, and they quickly loaded and tamped their ammunition, and then fired.

Although the density of fire was not as terrible as Fang's, it was still a bullet flying, and the cavalry on the horse had no time to shoot their arrows, so they could lower their bodies as much as possible in order to get to the opponent's position as soon as possible.

That is, the distance of less than fifty paces, the Jurchen cavalry who was brandishing weapons and roaring on the horse became more and more stunned, the appearance of the soldiers in front of them could be seen clearly, and even the cracks on the other party's face could be seen, but the other party had no fear, no wavering, the reflection of the sun, the snow, and the light of the opponent's spear and plate armor, suddenly made the Jurchen cavalry feel very dazzling

Less than thirty paces, I can feel that the opponent's firearms are becoming more and more dense, and the bold firecrackers even leave the array for a step or two to shoot diagonally, and they don't pay attention to what one row fires, and the second row follows, that is, they can fire when they can, this distance, either hitting people or horses.

The roaring Jurchen cavalry in the queue often suddenly leaned back, and the whole person planted his mount, and some people lay on their horses softly, motionless.

But the momentum of the brigade is getting stronger and stronger, and they are about to collide, and they believe that no matter what kind of foot soldier they are, they will not be able to maintain the array under such a shocking impact.

Twenty steps, ten steps, about to collide, the spear still does not understand, the fierceness on the face of the Jurchen cavalry who rushed to the front turned into fear, into panic, the rout of the infantry did not happen, but they wanted to subconsciously pull the horses to avoid, but such a momentum, where can they dodge.

The mount of the Jurchen cavalry is also a living creature, no matter how tame, instinct is the most important at the critical moment, the horse is naturally reluctant to crash into the steel jungle in front, some people stand up in the run, some begin to jump around, the horse suddenly makes this action in the high-speed running, the end is often only one, that is, fall and roll, throw the cavalry above to the ground, and some Jurchen cavalry roared and hit the horse's belly with spurs, so that the horse rushed forward in pain.

"Kill, kill!!"

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Huwei Army also roared wildly, and some of the enemies fell in front of them, some deflected, and some crashed straight in.

A cavalryman crashes in, often the array is recessed inward, he and his mount often have four or five spears pierced in, some spearmen in their hands can't withstand such a big force, bent to the limit and break, spearmen can't withstand such an impact, sit back, their arms are sore, but they still hold the spear tightly, as for the broken, his companions behind him immediately make up for it, and continue to act as an array.

The dead cavalry in the front row, the horses jumping around, successfully blocked the momentum of the rear team, but the Jurchen cavalry that kept rushing into the spear queue made a gap in the tight spear array, and the Jurchen cavalry in the rear team was able to rush in and fight although they did not gallop at high speed.

Some people can shoot bows and arrows on horses, some people take out long swords and swords on horses, and the ranks of spearmen are also dead and wounded, but these Jurchen soldiers can often only move once or twice, and they are immediately poked down by spears, and the non-commissioned officers of each team are moving forward, and they can assassinate with axes and guns, can chop, and can also hook down the Jurchen cavalry on horses.

Gradually, the Jurchen cavalry that was lucky enough to rush into the enemy formation began to be cleared, the spear formation began to return to its original state, the Jurchen horse team had lost their speed, and they were all piled up in front of the spear queue, they were now at best a higher position of foot soldiers, and they were not necessarily cheaper than foot soldiers in terms of action, and the length of weapons was far inferior.

The spearmen of the Huwei Army could easily stab the Jurchen cavalry, but in addition to bows and arrows, the cavalrymen could only throw out their weapons to hurt people.

Even if it is a bow and arrow, on a well-armored spearman, the damage that can be caused is extremely limited, but the cotton armor on the Jurchen cavalry cannot stop the power of the spear and the slashing of the axe and gun.

In the area directly opposite the firecrackers, a bell mouth was formed, and the firecrackers fired non-stop, so that the enemy's cavalry had no way to rush in, and the firecrackers continued to shoot out of the ranks to make this open space continue to expand.

In fact, now the entire Huwei army was firing on both flanks, and the musketeers were firing non-stop at the hillside, and the generals ordered the spearmen to divide into small teams, and the musketeers, spearmen, and non-commissioned officers armed with axes and guns formed squads, and began to fight the enemy in the mountains and forests.

The morale of the Jurchen soldiers was already low, and the troops who took the mountain road to attack the flanks of the Ming army were only harassment, and they could only wait for a breakthrough in the frontal battlefield if they wanted to cause decisive damage, but the frontal cavalry charge was blocked by the opponent's foot soldiers, and the opponent's army was as stable as Mount Tai, and their attack naturally became useless.

And the counterattack organized by the Ming army is very powerful, the squad composed of firecrackers, spearmen and non-commissioned officers, can be far away, can be close combat, and have each other's cooperation, it is inconvenient to use long soldiers in the woods, they draw out the swords they wear are extremely brave, and they are skillful in cooperation with each other, a team is only more than ten people, but the conceited and brave Jurchen soldiers often have to use several times the manpower to resist, not to mention the gap between weapons and armor, hitting the enemy can not cause any damage, being counterattacked, immediately seriously injured or killed, No one has the heart to support it.

Some of the more than 100 guards around Wang Tong were guarding Wang Tong's side with axes and guns, and some were holding firearms and shooting continuously, and they were with the firecrackers who retreated to the far right of the infantry team.

The Jurchen cavalry also saw that this side was where the handsome banner was, and they also wanted to invest enough strength here, but the river valley and beach had limited space, and they couldn't strengthen it, and the firepower density of the firecrackers was very large.

Buckshot poured down like rain, and after the impact of the first contact, the Jurchen cavalry even deliberately avoided this direction.

Wang Tong observed the battlefield on his horse, he could see that although the enemy's brigade was still pushing forward, the cavalry that could engage with the spearmen in front of the front was constantly retreating, and now the spearmen of the two regiments of the Huwei Army often had to make a large assassination action to meet each other, and now the lethal output has relied on firearms.

"Trumpet!! Beat the marching drums, and the 1st and 2nd regiments moved forward! ”

Wang Tong ordered loudly, the trumpeter picked up the brass horn and began to blow the marching horn, the sharp brass horn temporarily suppressed all the sounds on the battlefield, the drums that had been silent for a long time sounded together, the non-commissioned officers all retreated, the fire of the guns was suddenly fierce, and the Jurchen cavalry could only retreat in panic.

The distance between them was slightly widened, the non-commissioned officers corrected the ranks of the spearmen, the rhythm of the drums changed again, and the brigade began to move forward.

The Ming army no longer defended but attacked forward, the spears pressed forward layer upon layer, I don't know how to block, every cavalry on the horse was facing several spears, blocking one, and the others would be stabbed to death.

The impact and the battle, are completely consumed their courage and fighting spirit, the most brave warriors have died in the impact and battle, looking at the rolling steel thorns in front of them, some people began to turn the horse, some people were cut down by the rear team, and some of the rear team fled together, if the companion wanted to enforce military law with him, then turn their faces and fight.

The cavalry ranks continued to disperse, the congestion ran around, and the advance of the Jurchen brigade had also stopped, the front wanted to retreat, and the people behind were still moving forward, which had become congested and chaotic, and the Jurchen army stopped.

When the narrow road meets, the two sides fight to the death, one side will inevitably retreat, the momentum stops, that is a dead end, the array of spearmen of the Huwei Army is not fast in order to keep it neat, but even so, they can still catch up with the enemy's footsteps and calmly assassinate.

This is especially true of the musketeers, each of whom had only fired three to four rounds of ammunition during the battle, and now they could shoot as much as they wanted, but between the three gaps between the two spearmen, there were really only a limited number of frontal shots, and in order to rotate as quickly as possible and not affect the formation, the soldiers did not turn around directly after shooting, but ran around the array, returned to the rear team from the edge to reload ammunition, and then shot back and forth.

"Master, I can't stand it in front, let's retreat!"

Shulhazy's swinging teeth said in a panic, Shulhazy was at the end of the horse team, his hand holding the reins was trembling, but his mind was confused, the horse team rushed to the foot formation, how could it be defeated
