Chapter 456: Concave Formation Ying Rui Formation (I)
Wang Dou was overjoyed, in fact, it was difficult for him to judge, I don't know if because of his participation in the war, the Qing cavalry pulled reinforcements from other places, and even brought artillery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, if Mako is to be attacked to the west of Songshan Fort, the Han army's artillery troops from the Tang Tong Department will be transferred, but they will move slowly and will always arrive at the battlefield.
With the Shenji Battalion, they are more sure, and they now have 25 Shenwei General Cannons, 50 large-caliber mortar guns, and nearly 100 small-caliber mortar guns in their army. There are also 300 rocket cars, 200 Franc machine light vehicles, nearly 1,000 rounds of Shenhuo Flying Crow and other large rockets.
Their sergeants, even more flintlocked, were richly equipped.
Plus 70 Hongyi cannons in his own artillery battalion, 35 general franc cannons, and 55 small and medium-sized franc cannons. These artillery, as long as they are used properly, it is impossible not to deal a heavy blow to the Qing army.
Wang Dou happily agreed to Fu Yingchong's request.
Fu Ying was overjoyed and gave Wang Dou a thumbs up: "Uncle Zhongyong is a friend enough, I Fu Daya wrote it down!" ”
Hurriedly took the guards and rushed back to the artillery position not far away, and recruited the soldiers.
Hong Chengchou wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything.
At this time, smoke and dust were billowing out, and a cavalry braved the artillery fire of the Qing army in the main ridge and rumbled from the foot of the loess ridge, led by Guo Yingxian, the general of Yang Guozhu's Chinese army.
As soon as he saw Wang Dou, he roared: "Brother Wang, Yang Shuai heard that you are going to help fight the Tartars, let me lead a thousand fine horses out to help you, my brother is not late, right?" ”
Wang Dou's heart was warm, he knew that Yang Guozhu was just a simple kindness, without the slightest utilitarianism, but he was afraid that his cavalry would be insufficient, so he asked his relatives to come to help.
He said: "You led a thousand elite horsemen out, Yang Shuai attacked Loess Ridge, can there be insufficient troops?" ”
Guo Yingxian shouted: "Don't worry, at the moment, my Xuanfu Army only fights in the front battalion of the new army." There are also two infantry battalions in reserve, and two car battalions of friendly troops, thousands of cavalry do not move, and fight a small earthen ridge, the strength is enough! ”
Wang Dou was relieved at this time, and at this time, he saw smoke and dust rising from the northwest direction of the Chinese army's large array.
It turned out to be Wang Pu and Li Fuming, who heard that Wang Dou came to the rescue, and each sent 500 elite horsemen, and led them to help with their henchmen.
Regardless of their thoughts, Wang Dou thanked them for their kindness and allowed them to gather their soldiers and horses around his army.
Zhang Ruoqi rode the horse next to Wang Dou, he was also very happy, and he said with emotion: "The soldiers are so diligent for the country, why worry about the slaves and thieves not being destroyed?" ”
The battle ahead was urgent, Wang Dou couldn't say much, hugged Hong Chengchou slightly, rode his horse back to his army formation, and Zhang Ruoqi and others hurriedly followed.
At this time, 10,000 Jingbian troops were waiting in strict formation, cavalry, infantry, artillery, Chinese troops, and chariots, lined up in neat phalanxes one after another. Even if the sun is fierce, the weather is hot, and no one moves a little, the posture of the strong army is undoubtedly displayed.
When the breeze blew, the waves, the sun and moon flags between the various generals rolled endlessly, especially the blood-red flags in the position of the Chinese army, which were even more boiling and churning, as passionate as fire.
Wang Dou looked at his own military formation, from the generals to the small soldiers in the formation, they also looked at him, and their eyes were full of reverence and trust.
With a long groan, Wang Dou drew his sword, and he shouted: "I'm Jingbian Army!" ”
The whistling sound like a wave spread throughout the front and back of the big array: "Mighty! ”
"I'm Jingbian Army!"
There was a louder whistling: "Mighty! ”
"Mighty!"
In the military formation, whether it was the general Zhong Xiancai, Han Chao, or the officers Yin Yijin, Tian Qiming, or the soldiers Chen Sheng and Zhao Rongsheng, they all shouted with all their strength.
Listening to the majestic cheers, everyone's blood boiled, even the soldiers of the second class army were no longer afraid, they were not afraid, they were eager to kill the thief immediately. …,
Guo Yingxian and the others opened their mouths and laughed, and said: "Fighting with the Jingbian Army is just exciting!" ”
Wang Dou returned to most of the Central Army of the Jingbian Army, rode his horse to stand in front of his Daxu banner, and issued a general order: "Send aid to the southeast, and the whole army is ready!" ”
"All the army is ready!"
The officers of all battalions, departments, and generals, dressed in eight-petal hats, iron-pointed helmets, short armor, and leg skirts, were on healthy horses, and their shiny armor leaves were exposed, and the orders of the Chinese army were handed down one after another.
The Jingbian Army was located on the right side of Hong Chengchou's large army array, and when he heard the order, the entire army immediately turned right. Each soldier in the formation checked his weapons and equipment for the last time, armor, spears, arquebus medicine, etc.
The gunners in the artillery barracks of the Chinese army urgently put mules and horses on their artillery and ammunition trucks. In the battalion headquarters of each battalion and department, the drivers and firemen also quickly put on their own carts and cooking carts.
The medical officers of the headquarters also began to check the stretchers and medical vehicles of the doctors under their command.
The various ministries and the general pacification officers, led the pacification sergeants, and began to set out.
The general commander of the town was Chi Dacheng, and he even led the soldiers of the shuai battalion to patrol everywhere.
Yuan Rong car, Wang Dou lent it to Yang Guozhu, and the Chinese army's pole car was desperately pulled up and erected.
A heavily armed standard-bearer jumped into the 20-meter-high pole of the fight, holding a clairvoyant mirror, and began to look around.
There are also the chariots of the Jingbian Army in the position of the Chinese army, and the soldiers who are responsible for pushing are also urgently inserted in the holes of the front ribs with movable lion and tiger graphics. There are also five holes in front of each car, and spears up to a foot long are inserted one by one.
Immediately, the spears in front of each chariot were erected, like hedgehog carts.
Wang Dou held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the rout in the southeast, which was only more than a mile away from the main formation of the Chinese army, especially the cavalry in the rout, which was less than a mile away from the army formation.
Wang Dou ordered: "The chariot is forward, protect the infantry army, the rout is not allowed to storm the chariot, and the violators will be killed!" ”
"The cavalry is on both wings, Li Guangheng is on the left, Guo Yingxian and others are on the right, and they will disperse the rout of the masses together, and the rout needs to disarm their weapons and horses before they can be gathered into the formation, and those who dare to disobey the order will be killed on the spot!"
Looking at the flag from the pole and car number bearer, Wang Dou's heart moved, and he passed down the order: "The slaves and thieves are closely behind the defeated soldiers, and the cavalry on both wings is waiting for the opportunity to outflank and divide and destroy!" ”
Under a series of orders from Wang Dou, there was a rumbling sound, smoke and dust rose up, and two hundred Jingbian Army chariots, each pushed by two baggage soldiers, rushed to the front of the infantry battle array.
Behind the chariot, two cavalry battalions of the Jingbian Army, spears and guns, erected like a forest.
Wang Dou put down the clairvoyant mirror and looked into the distance, his eyes habitually narrowed, which was a problem with his myopia in his previous life.
In this era, even if your vision is more than 1.5 points, you still can't change your habits.
He made a crisp sound with his horsewhip volley, pointed forward, and shouted: "The whole army forward, forward!" ”
The Chinese military drums sounded in unison, accompanied by the marching drums, more than 10,000 Jingbian troops, regardless of foot and horse, marched in orderly formation.
The big drum cart of the Chinese army shook the sky, and as the army marched forward, the hunting flag fluttered like blood!
In particular, Wang Dou's Chinese army banner can be seen many miles away
And behind the position of the Chinese army, there are many people and dirt carts, closely following them.
There is also Fu Yingchong's Shenji Battalion, which also urgently opened and followed.
Watching Wang Dou's army set out, Hong Chengchou exhaled and prayed in his heart: "I hope that Uncle Zhongyong will go well and recover the decline!" ”
Looking at the land, at this time, one side is a strict forward army formation, and one side is the fleeing Ming army all over the mountains, and among them, there are many screaming people. …,
The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and that's what it is.
Because the Qing cavalry deliberately intercepted the congestion back and forth, creating the illusion that there were enemies on all sides, it seemed that there were only a few passages to escape.
The rout, the cavalry, the infantry, and the men mixed together in one place, greatly slowing down the speed of their running. Many people, in a mess, huddled together, as long as someone fell, they were immediately trampled on by countless big feet, and in the howl, they were trampled into flesh like that.
No one cared about them, and everyone fled on their own, especially when the Qing soldiers were constantly covering up and outflanking.
Behind them, from time to time, there were Qing cavalry driving them, and as long as they fled a little slowly, Bobo Qing rode his horse and rushed to them, trampling them to the ground and poking them to death.
Any officer who tries to restore the command structure is a key target for outflanking the Qing cavalry.
And in the midst of all the cries and shouts, it was in vain for them to make any sound.
Under the fear, countless people only knew how to run desperately, and after running for several miles, many people ran to death like this. Even some of the horses of the routed army were foaming at the mouth, and they couldn't see it.
Suddenly, when they saw the military formation in front of them and saw that the banner was the army of the Ming Dynasty, they roared with joy and ran towards the military formation.
But they forgot that it was taboo for the rout to rush head-on to the military formation.
It was common practice for them to bypass the military formation on both flanks.
They were greeted by the relentless sound of the gun.
Behind the chariot of the Jingbian Army, the flames were continuous, and in the explosion, thick white smoke rose up, and one by one the soldiers were hit by the flash bullets. Blood sprayed from their bodies and they fell to the ground screaming.
After several waves of the sound of the displacement, the defeated soldiers came to their senses, or howled and fled to both sides, or collapsed to the ground and did not move, revealing some of the chasing Qing cavalry behind them......
The sound of neat horses' hooves stomping on the ground sounded, and Li Guangheng led his cavalry battalion out of battle to disperse the routs rushing to this side.
His cavalry, a first-class army, all of them were bright red with square collars and long body armor, and the hem was trimmed with crimson velvet, and the two red pompoms were provoked, and even the horse's temples were dyed blood red. On the left arm, there are red round shields, eight-petal hats and iron-pointed helmets, and copper nails are dense on the armor surface.
The horses under the crotch are also draped in protective gear at key points. In addition to hanging sabers, they also had carbines and multi-pole handcuffs stuck in their saddles, and the whole army showed a strong light.
Sabers, which are only effective against targets wearing leather armor or no armor, are not effective against opponents wearing heavy armor, and require firearms and spears to kill enemies.
The handcuffs of the Jingbian army are extremely powerful, and within twenty or thirty steps, they can break through multiple layers of heavy armor.
However, Dongnu's cavalry bow is within the range, but it is difficult to pose a threat to the cavalry of the Jingbian Army. In particular, their new armor, chest and abdomen, and protective power will not be inferior to the iron armor of the previous pikemen.
The military factory is still working on straight knives and heavy swords, so that the cavalry of the Jingbian Army can stab them
Looking at them left and right, looking at them like a line, Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but sigh, the guns of the Jingbian Army were already very strong, and even the cavalry was so sharp, and I didn't know how Wang Dou trained them.
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Li Guangheng's cavalry began to gallop in a strict queue, facing the rout.
Each of them had eight hundred horsemen, divided into four columns. There are 200 riders in each column, and each row is more than one step apart (about two meters), and each column is separated by fifteen steps. And between each division, separated by thirty paces, the whole cavalry battalion was divided into the front, the middle, and the rear, of which there were two thousand total troops.
Not far away, the cavalry that had already rushed to the rout, looking at their wolf rushing appearance, every knight of the Jingbian Army had a cold light flashing in their eyes. …,
Hmph, these wastes, not enough success, more than failure, in the face of slaves and thieves, greedy for life and afraid of death, watching their own side ride over, I don't know how to dodge, it's really damned!
At this time, on the left side of the cavalry queue, there were bannermen holding a general flag, placing the chief officer next to them, and there were several guards, and the remaining officers in the ministry were gathered in the Chinese army and did not dispatch.
Looking at the situation ahead, the cavalry commander in the front row shouted: "Prepare for the handcuffs!" ”
Immediately, there was a commotion, and every cavalryman of the Jingbian Army in the front row pulled out a flintlock handcuff from his saddle.
With the same reaction as them, several rows of knights behind them all drew their handcuffs, and they rode at the same speed, rolling towards the rout!
Ma Fu's name is the former battalion general of the Che Battalion in Jizhen Town, among the generals in Jizhen Town, he is famous for eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood, and is known as the title of horse skinning. The soldiers he led were also notoriously undisciplined, killing good people and risking merit, and robbing homes and houses.
Because he has to rely on his family members to save his life, he is unrestrained preferential treatment and connivance to his subordinates, no matter what kind of chaos, he can resist it. In this battle with the Qing cavalry, his car battalion was the first wave of defeat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Fuming led more than 300 Ding Ba horses to flee, and he didn't even think to collect the rout. After he led the family to run some distance, he also stopped at the horse to watch the battle, wanting to see how the situation was. It's just that the rout of the Jizhen army on the whole line was beyond his expectations.
Seeing that dozens of Qing cavalry crossed the rout and directly outflanked him, how could Ma Fuming dare to stay? led the family members to flee in the wilderness, just wanting to flee to Hong Chengchou's Chinese army array.
Unexpectedly, he fled to the wrong place and fled to the direction of Wu Sangui's military formation.
The Qing cavalry besieging Wu Sangui immediately sent several teams to chase after him, and Ma Fuming rushed desperately to kill, losing more than 100 dings, and finally escaped.
However, his subordinates were also scarred, and Ma Fuming even lost his helmet, his hair bun was scattered, his hair was scattered, and his face was covered with blood, which could be described as embarrassing.
However, Ma Fuming's escape speed was fast, and after he fled in the opposite direction again, he rushed ahead of countless defeated soldiers and civilians.
Seeing that the Chinese army is in front of the main array, what is even happier is that it seems that a reinforcement army is coming ahead, as long as you escape to the reinforcement array, your own life can be saved.
Looking at the banner, it was the reinforcement of the Jingbian Army, and Ma Fuming exhaled even more, and his spirit was greatly lifted.
At this moment, a guard suddenly shouted in horror: "General, there are Tartars chasing after you!" ”
Ma Fuming looked back and saw that it was dozens of Tartar Baya soldiers, looking at their armor, it was the soldiers and horses of the Tartars with white flags. Ma Fu's name can't help but be scattered, a Tartar white-armored soldier can almost beat him ten family members, dozens of Baya soldiers, how can he be an opponent? . )
