At this time, the 5th Infantry Division of Jingying was definitely an army that was very different from before. First of all, in the arrangement of the military formation, the pikemen became five rows in depth, which was completely different from the ten rows in depth in other Beijing camps.

Obviously, the 3,000 Jiannu cavalry was ruthlessly routed, and the fleeing of the corpses of the wolf Bèi on the ground proves the correctness of this change.

The depth of five rows is already a completely adequate rhythm. Because of the phalanx of pikemen, only the three pikemen in front were able to attack the enemy. If the spear is longer, it will be a bit too much. It is equivalent to saying that once the pikemen in the front three platoons are killed, the two platoons in the back are enough to replenish.

In this way, a wider formation is obtained, and the effective utilization of forces is improved.

At the same time, the musketeers were also equipped with iron armor and helmets, which proved to be the most useful in the fight against the Kennu. There is no rule that musketeers cannot wear iron armor, as long as it does not affect the normal loading and shooting, they can be equipped at all. The reason why the musketeers of the Westerners were not equipped with these equipment was mainly because the enemy also used muskets as long-range weapons. The armor was basically useless in front of the musket for 50 meters. Therefore, in the process of fighting, the musketeers of Westerners basically lined up with the enemy and shot each other.

In such an environment, European musketeers naturally did not need any protection, and they could go to the battlefield wearing a military uniform. But the wild boar skins faced by the Ming army did not have musketeers. Although some firearms were also captured, they were not yet used on the battlefield. Moreover, the firearms seized by him are basically firearms that are not very powerful, or things that require experience to use, and Jiannu obviously has no such experience.

Jiannu's long-range means are mainly archery. After equipping the iron armor, these musketeers can rest assured that they can stand with Jiannu's infantry, as long as their luck is not too bad, it is basically impossible to be killed or injured by Jiannu's arrows.

Moreover, when equipped with iron armor, these musketeers can engage in hand-to-hand combat with their swords, and if the pikemen are unable to hold on, they can also take on the function of melee combat.

Finally, the establishment of 2,000 archers has been added, and the biggest advantage of these archers is that they can hide behind the military formation to face the enemy, and the rain of arrows thrown out is absolutely terrifying. The dense rain of arrows falling from the sky hit the enemy psychologically no less than a salvo of muskets, and it was more intuitive.

After some changes, the Fifth Infantry Division of Jingying suddenly had terrifying combat effectiveness.

The battle continued, the musketeers of the Jiannu infantry and the 5th Infantry Division were still firing at each other, and the rows of Jiannu fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire, but it was difficult for Jiannu's arrows to cause much damage to the musketeers of the 5th Infantry Division. After the rout of Jiannu's cavalry troops, Jiannu, who was still struggling to support, suddenly lost the courage to fight, and his morale collapsed almost instantly, because the rout of the cavalry meant that there was no hope of victory in this battle.

In an instant, the Jiannu infantry was also defeated, and they all turned around and ran.

Defeated, defeated!

"Idiot, idiot, how could he be so stupid." Seeing the rout of the cavalry, Erbel Amin immediately wailed, and attributed most of the reasons for this defeat to the person who led the cavalry to charge, and when people were defeated, they often tended to throw the black pot of defeat on the heads of others, believing that they were not wrong, or even had no mistakes. Erbel Amin, who experienced failure, immediately shook off his strength and became angry with his subordinates.

Leaders want employees to bear the black pot, and employees can usually only pinch their noses and admit it, not to mention that this violent bandit gang is not a place to reason at all.

The cavalry and infantry were defeated, and if they didn't run, they would die. Erbel Amin was angry, and he was also so frightened that he turned his horse's head on the spot and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. The defeated Jiannu left behind the corpses on the ground, then ran to the rear, climbed on horseback, and quickly followed Erbel Amin to escape from the place that terrified them. The scene was nothing short of chaotic, and it was obvious that there could be no extravagance in the event of a setback for a gang of robbers.

However, despite the chaos when Jiannu was defeated, the Fifth Infantry Division had nothing to do with these Jiannu. After all, do you have these Jiannu people, and they run away so fast.

"It's a pity, if there are cavalry, these Jiannu can be left." Zhang Kuotu looked at these defeated Jiannu helplessly, but there was no way to leave them behind. After all, the gap in mobility is there, and it can only defeat Jiannu, and if you want to annihilate it all, it is basically impossible to have no cavalry troops in the field.

The Han army, since ancient times, in the face of these highly mobile alien cavalry troops, it is relatively easy to win in frontal battles, even in the Song Dynasty, which is known for its weakness, in fact, the Song army's combat victory rate is about 70%, but basically it can only be defeated, but not annihilated. In an environment like the Song Dynasty, if the military victory rate was less than 60%, it was basically the rhythm of the death of the country.

Fighting head-on, the cavalry was hardly any advantage. But the cavalry is not the infantry, and it can't outrun the infantry? Even if you fail ten times, you may be able to save a lot of strength and make a comeback. However, as long as these cavalry find an opportunity, once the infantry is defeated, it is basically impossible to run away in the face of the pursuit of the cavalry.

The Beijing camp currently lacks the cooperation of cavalry troops, which is also something that cannot be helped. Zhu Youxiao has trained 6,000 cavalry, and the Wuxiang cavalry division has been transferred to Liaodong to wait for Sun Chengzong's command, and the remaining Tengxiang cavalry division is obviously going to stay in the capital, and it is impossible to transfer it to Dongjiang Town.

What Dongjiang Town lacks most at present is cavalry. If there is a cavalry force in hand, don't say much, even if there are only two thousand cavalry, at the moment, you can leave at least half of the defeated Jiannu with the blue flag, and the cavalry's ability to chase and kill this kind of rout is too strong.

In the absence of cavalry, the Fifth Infantry Division could only watch Jiannu run away.

Fortunately, there were obviously many Jiannu who were killed and injured at the scene, and seeing that Jiannu's soldiers with blue flags were running fast, Zhang Kuotu gave up his intention to pursue and immediately ordered to clean up the battlefield.

Immediately, the soldiers of the Fifth Infantry Division began to clean up the battlefield and clean up Jiannu's body. As for Jiannu, who was injured and unable to escape, the officers and men of the Fifth Infantry Division were basically directly stabbed to death with spears.

After constant propaganda, the massacre of Jiannu has caused public outrage. Therefore, when facing Jiannu, there was no such thing as killing or killing, and when he was caught, he directly cut off his head and took it to exchange for his military merits.

After a big battle, the battlefield can be described as a mess.

The snow on the ground was dyed a large patch of bright red, soaked with the snow, and there were frozen corpses of Jiannu everywhere, and the scene was extremely tragic.

This kind of tragedy is obviously aimed at the Jiannu inlaid with the blue flag, but for the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Battalion, this is definitely a military feat that sits in rows and divides the fruits.

The cleaning of the battlefield lasted for several hours, and after cleaning and counting the battlefield, the frozen corpses of Jiannu were all sold somewhere at random, and don't think about what coffins they are. Yuci Outing seems to have counted the results of this operation below.

"Report to the division commander, a total of 3,600 Jiannu were captured in this operation, as well as a number of weapons, bows and arrows, armor, and 230 complete war horses. A total of 100,000 yuan was awarded, plus about 18,000 acres of land. The staff of the Fifth Infantry Division reported the number to Zhang Kuantu.

On average, each soldier in the Beijing camp can get 9 acres of land for military merit.

At this time, because of the method of military merit statistics, although it is still based on the head, it is no longer the person who grabs the head, but is owned by the combat collective, so the Beijing Battalion is the fifth infantry division did not compete for the head on the battlefield. It will not cut off the head during the battle.

It is also because part of the combat merits are divided equally, and part of it is redistributed according to the following units at all levels or individual soldiers, which is equivalent to the combat table xiàn bravery, the formation at all levels that play a key role in the combat process, and the land rewards that individuals can get an extra part, so that the troops at all levels are striving for the performance, and the individual soldiers are also full of motivation.

At the same time, this victory also gave the Fifth Infantry Division a preliminary taste of the benefits of coordinated operations, and the intensity of this war was actually not high, and the time was very short. However, it was during this period of time that the lower intensity of the war allowed them to receive land rewards, which felt too easy for many soldiers. Although less than ten acres of land are allocated to each person, as long as they fight a few more times, won't it add up?

Although when the guerrillas gain merit, it may be more at once. But the process is also more dangerous. And to win a war with the strength of a group, as long as it is properly coordinated, it is obviously very easy, and the danger is not great, as long as you fight a few more times, this battle achievement will not be very rare?

The Fifth Infantry Division, which had won the victory at Fort Hongzui, did not stay where it was after cleaning up the battlefield, but quickly killed Jinzhou.

Now that the battle has been won, it's time to regain some of the lost ground.

The Jinzhou region, which is relatively easy to defend, has become the primary target of this recovery, and the general army Mao Wenlong has sent 5,000 troops to attack Jinzhou Nanguan.

The blue banner led by Amin was defeated, which means that the Jiannu in Jinzhou City has lost reinforcements, and there will be no more reinforcements in the short term.

But after a long time, the wild boar skin will react. Therefore, it was still necessary to gain time to conquer Jinzhou, and the Fifth Infantry Division began to move south to flank the Jiannu defenders in Jinzhou City according to the original plan.

At the same time, the news of the victory of Hongzui Fort was also quickly reported to the imperial court. After receiving the victory at Hongzui Fort, Zhu Youxiao immediately burst out laughing with excitement and immediately ordered the commander of the Fifth Infantry Division, Zhang Zhang, to expand and sort out the Fifth Infantry Division's combat experience and tactical rectification plan for comprehensive popularization.

The tactics and systems currently adopted by the new army in Jingying are obviously not mature enough. Since the 5th Infantry Division won the battle and the casualty rate was not high, it shows that the 5th Infantry Division was successful in optimizing its tactics. The Beijing camp will be expanded next year, and it can be said that these valuable experiences are urgently needed. (To be continued.) )
