Chapter 510: Danger of Not Defending and Attacking in Formation

"My lord, you can reach our army in about half an hour!!" The guard on the watchtower shouted loudly, and the people in the car formation, Ding Zhuang, were already a little flustered, and the leaders of the people were desperately beating and scolding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The so-called Wangshan running dead horse, open on the grassland, can be seen very far, but seeing and arriving are completely two concepts, although seeing the traces of the wheel army. But it's still a long way off.
Wang Tong looked back and forth in the cart, pointed to the front and said:
"Go to the flat ground in front and set up camp!"
"My lord, set up camp early
"There is flat land over there, surrounded by hills, and our army is camped there, but the enemy has to climb over the surrounding hills, and the terrain will take advantage of it!"
At this time, the action is really unstable, everyone shouts and hurrys, the soldiers have only been marching for a short time, there is no fatigue, the consumption of grain and grass in the past few days, the cart has been empty a lot, and the degree can also be raised, and the degree of the brigade immediately accelerated a lot, but it was a little scattered. When he arrived over there, Wang Tong turned to the general and said:
"You take your official's pro-military battalion and Cai Jianjun to stare at the camp together, if the people are in chaos, they will be beheaded immediately!"
The general agreed heavily, and immediately took someone away. Wang Tong lifted the reins and ordered the herald behind him:
"Command the first regiment and the second regiment, and line up in armor outside the battalion!"
The heralds behind him answered loudly, and the soldiers began to run forward in unison from both sides of the cart queue, and the coachmen turned the cart according to the arrangement of the exercise, and the men went up to rest the inner baffle and hung it between the two carts, and some people led the animals pulling the carts to the chariot array.
There were more than a dozen carts that did not stop, but shouted and rushed towards the front of the place where the formation was formed, one by one. The battalion was converging into a large phalanx, and when the carriages were in two formations, the flaps on both sides were open, and the soldiers in the outer queue stepped forward to remove their armor.
The soldiers standing in the outermost two rows of the queue, and the general flags of the hundred households of the battalion officers and battalions were all wearing armor, and they returned to the queue with the armor, and with the help of their partners behind them, they put on the plate armor and put on the helmets.
After transporting the armor, the carts returned to the camp and connected them into a camp, and some people moved down the guns of different sizes from the wagons, and the number of tiger squat guns was the largest, although the effective firing distance of this kind of artillery was only about thirty paces, it could be used appropriately to cause damage to the attacking enemy.
At intervals in the car battalion, there were another pounds and a pound and a half of artillery mounts on it, which was also the grain and grass that so many carts carried for six days. Many carts were used to load Huwei plate armor and artillery, as well as ammunition.
The car battalion is connected, and according to the artillery and various defenses inside, the people with weapons can even hold it for a while. In the face of the cavalry, which lacked siege means, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable.
However, the first and second regiments of the Huwei battalion were lined up outside this car battalion, and the generals at all levels were fine, but many soldiers had panicked looks.
"I'm afraid of a little bird, these godsons are just pirates on horseback, and they are all bad goods!!"
Over there, Li Hutou shouted to cheer up his soldiers, but there were not many people who should be peaceful, Wang Tong rode a horse at the gate of the camp to watch the battle, the muffled thunderous sound in the west became louder and louder, his mount was a little restless, Wang Tong reached out and stroked the mount, let it quiet, gently shake the reins, and let the mount pass through the array between the two regiments.
The mount was agitated, and as soon as it was driven by its master, it wanted to run fast, but it was strangled by the king's reins, and could only move forward slowly.
The foot soldiers of the First and Second Regiments were already a little nervous and agitated, and the muffled thunderous sound and the tremors on the ground that were becoming more and more obvious made them feel that a great enemy was coming.
Wang Tong can be seen strolling forward with a horse. Seeing that their own master would be so stable, everyone's mind calmed down a lot.
In front of the two small regiments, hundreds of fire soldiers were checking the ammunition loading, and under the orders of the generals, they used the whole strip to tamp the ammunition in the fire prosper, and the Fanren soldiers who accompanied Hans, but two of them were arranged to make small flags in the fire soldiers, and after the generals gave the order, these two men trotted to check everyone's fire control.
After checking one side, I really saw the problem, there were more than a dozen soldiers who were too nervous, and forgot to pull out the pass after the pragmatic ammunition, if this was after firing, it would not affect the killing, it was nothing more than to beat the pass out together, but without this pass bar, there was no way to tamp the ammunition, which was equivalent to wasting a fire dysprosium.
The sound of horses' hooves behind him, the general and his own soldiers have followed, and the camp behind is about to be formed, Wang Tong looked at the front but said in a low voice:
"How many people are in the hands of Cai Jianjun, just in case. Don't let the good folks blow up the camp.
"Please rest assured, the master's personal guards have left thirty for Gonggong Cai, plus our own arrangements among the people, which is enough to suppress."
Wang Tong nodded, shook the reins and led everyone to run in front of the array, at this time the two large phalanxes had been arranged, and the preparations everywhere were almost the same, Wang Tong raised his hand, two. …… The drum sounded suddenly, and the ten soldiers simply aligned the next queue, but it was Yue Qianxiao, and they were all looking at Wang Tong.
Wang Tong put down his hand, and the drumming stopped. Wang Tong stepped on the stirrups, stood up from his mount, and shouted:
"Today's battle is nothing special, it's just to kill the enemy, I will be with you, let's kill the enemy and fight together!!"
After saying that, as soon as he pulled the reins, Wang Tong and his guards ran to the right side of the array together, Li Hutou took a step forward, raised the spear in his hand and shouted:
"Kill the enemy and fight!!"
The second regiment followed and shouted, and the first regiment followed suit, shouting in unison, "Kill the enemy!!" Fight the enemy!!! For a while, the momentum was like a rainbow, the first regiment was on the left, the second regiment was on the right, the distance between the two regiments was more than 200 steps, Wang Tong was a hundred steps away from the second regiment, but there was an artillery array next to him.
This time, it was not a one-pound cannon or a one-and-a-half-pound light artillery, but a three-pound cannon and a five-pound cannon, and it was the kind of field artillery with a gun carriage, but such artillery could only be dragged by two or four horses, and placed in the car array, in order to conceal and not let the enemy's fine work see, and specially let the adults of Zaifang create a shell of a big car, not to drill into it to see, it is really the appearance of an ordinary car. But it is not easy to manufacture such a cannon, everything in the workshop has just been established, and there is also a process, Wang Tong brought a total of nine such cannons this time, six three-catty cannons, and three five-catty cannons.
There are 300 people in the artillery plus the auxiliary people, all of whom are busy there, with the gun carriage and gun carriage, the effort of setting up the cannon has been saved a lot, but there are still a lot of busy things, digging out the scattered soil to prepare for the fire, and the fire of a brazier must be divided into several pots, and the fire of each cannon can not be used in one place.
On a cold day, Mu En didn't wear a cotton jacket, and while shouting loudly there, he was busy with his hands, Wang Tonglema stopped here, looked at it with a smile, and looked ahead.
There is no difference from the pre-judgment, the shoe cavalry really came to attack on the last day of the return journey, this terrain can not be said to be favorable, although the two regiments of the Huwei battalion and the car formation behind them are rooted on the flat ground, in addition to this, that is, there are several dirt bags and hills on the left side of the first regiment, and there is only one on the right side of the second regiment, which is not an obstacle, and on the whole it is still a flat place suitable for the movement of the cavalry.
Wang Tong was busy here, and a large group of cavalry from the west was also marching non-stop, seeing the Ming army in formation, more than a dozen cavalry soldiers in the front raised the red flag in their hands and swayed back and forth, and soon the horn sounded with a certain rhythm, and watched the cavalry all over the mountains under the guidance of the cavalry raising the flag in front, each lined up in a small team and slowed down the degree of horse marching.
Follow long distances, even if it's one person, two horses or more. It is also necessary to cherish the horsepower, do not consume too much energy, slow down the horse, and it is also convenient to adjust the position and line up with the red flag in front.
When they were more than 300 steps away from the forefront of the Huwei Army's array, the Jiaoyu cavalry also lined up in formation during the run, divided into more than a dozen teams, and the weather was also very strict.
From a distance, you can see that there are many flags in the center of the wheel captive brigade, and after leaving the ranks, you can see some people riding horses and wearing armor looking at this side, this should be the general in the wheel captivity
"With so much armor, it's no wonder that I suffered such a big loss outside the Xuanfu, it's the first time I've seen such a Ming army!"
As soon as he saw the Huwei army in array, Wanhu Najit gasped, although the Huwei army was only wearing armor and armor on the outside of the military vehicles and generals, but from a distance, it seemed that the entire brigade was wearing good iron armor, and at this time, the sun shone, and the iron armor was shining, and it was really cold and shining.
The nobles and generals who came out with them also had shocked expressions, but Tengjur, the prince of the Horqin Division, immediately laughed, raised his horsewhip and pointed over there and said:
"If Minggou is guarding in that big car camp, we may be difficult to fight, and we actually come out to fight in the field with arrogance, isn't this sending us something?"
Everyone who watched the battle there laughed, and the old man who spoke flatteringly yesterday even said:
"When the time comes, bring these armor and carts, the Horqin tribe will be the most powerful tribe in the grassland, and Najit Wanhu will also become the Khan King for generations
These words flattered a few sides, and even Najit was smiling, Ming Jun was such an idiot. It would be foolish not to get your hands on these good things.
At this moment, there was a loud "boom" and a whistling sound"
"Can't let the wheels line up so easily! Umbrella they test the gun!! ”
Wang Tong ordered with a smile, and Mu En's side agreed, and a five-pound cannon began to adjust its direction and ignite it.
Thank you all for your support, I'm going to work tomorrow, hehe
