Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was rolling in, Zhang Wenliang immediately drew his command knife and shouted: "Phalanx formation!" Raise your gun! ”

The snare drum beat rapidly. The Mawei New Army, as it was usually trained, quickly calmed down under the command of the officers and set up the phalanx at great speed. The phalanx is simply lined up in three columns on each side. The first column knelt on one leg in front and pointed the bayonet-mounted rifles diagonally upward, while the two columns of rifles in the back were held flat. Always ready to fire. Nearly 5,000 infantry troops, against more than 3,000 Qing cavalry, how about saving the situation?

This series of maneuvers of the Mawei Army took less than three minutes, and the enemy had rushed to the front of the phalanx in an instant, getting closer and closer, and the full-speed impact of the cavalry made the soldiers of the new army, who had been trained in infantry confrontation many times, begin to waver. At this critical time, Zhang Wenliang's loud voice also came. I heard him shout: "Ready! Then his command knife slashed downward, "Fire!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

There were too many infantrymen, the gunfire was incessant, and a white smoke screen erupted from the edge of the Mawei military formation. The cavalry of the Qing army, which rushed forward, immediately flipped on their backs under the rain of bullets. It was like a wave crashing against the reef. The rest of the cavalry did not dare to charge any further, and separated on both sides of the phalanx, trying to outflank and kill the infantry from the flanks and rear. The soldiers on both flanks of the phalanx seized the opportunity to fire at the cavalry that swept in front of them, and the cavalry in armor suffered heavy casualties under the fire of Minnie's rifles. In just a few minutes, one or two hundred corpses of men and horses had been dropped around the phalanx.

The Qing generals rode their horses and retreated to dozens of zhang away, gathered their men and horses, and prepared to charge again. At this time, Zhang Wenliang continued to shout: "Ready! Fire! ”

The assembled Qing cavalry team was once again covered by a dense rain of bullets before it could launch a charge, and hundreds of Qing cavalry fell in an instant. The others were completely stunned - no one expected that the enemy's firearms could really hit so far. is so ruthless, their iron armor actually has no effect. One of the Qing soldiers smashed the general heart guard, and the other beat the general helmet with half of his head and flew out.

The Qing cavalry retreated slightly, and then divided into two groups to outflank them, this time they were very fast, and they probably knew that the horsetail army's rifles had a long range, so everyone galloped quickly, hoping to use their speed to counteract the enemy's aiming.

The platoon guns rang out again, and more than a hundred cavalrymen fell off their horses. At this time, the general of the Qing army suddenly turned his horse's head and led all the cavalry to charge straight to the phalanx - he originally thought that the Mawei army was the "three-stage attack" in the previous bird-gun warfare, and now the three rows of guns have been released. The enemy must have a long reload time, and he intends to use this gap to crash through the phalanx. A small leader of a cronie beside the Qing army general rushed to the front with a few personal soldiers. Prepare to directly hit the bayonet array regardless of life and death, and kill a bloody path.

But once again, the rifles of the Matails rang out in a neat volley. The charge was like a raging wave on a reef, and the wave of cavalry was smashed to pieces, and the defeated cavalry retreated until two hundred meters away, and the Mini rifle stopped firing. The Qing generals had already lost almost half of their men, and the rest had no intention of fighting again, so they fled the battlefield on horseback. The Qing general cursed as he killed one of the fleeing cavalrymen as he tried to regroup a few hundred meters away. The sound of cannons sounded in the air, and after fighting for so long, the more than 100 cannons that followed behind were finally set up!

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

One after another cannonballs with red light flew through the phalanx of the horsetail infantry, and suddenly exploded in the air, throwing a rain of shotguns towards the ground, and the Qing cavalry that was assembling was covered by the fierce rain of bullets, and fell down one by one, the screams, screams and blood of men and horses were mixed together. A projectile almost grazed the ear of the commander of the cavalry of the Qing army and hit the ground, and the dirt was thrown all over his face, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke pierced his eyes.

Many Qing army generals were thinking in their hearts, they knew that the horsetail army's firearms were powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful. Cannonballs can explode in the air! Then a rain of bullets was thrown! He didn't dare to fight anymore, and there were less than 2,000 horsemen left at hand, not only was he at an absolute disadvantage, but the drums of the Mawei Army were beating more than two miles away, and a group of men and horses had already been driven. The Qing generals turned their horses around and shouted loudly for the soldiers to flee.

"Stop shooting!" Zeng Yangxing put down the binoculars, and the few Qing cavalry left in the distance were fleeing in the direction of the county town behind, and he couldn't help but put down his heart hanging in mid-air, "The left and right of the phalanx are only now reflected!" ”

When the Qing cavalry attacked the retreating infantry, he thought about letting the gunners fire grenades to intercept the cavalry, but the enemy's cavalry ran so fast that they soon arrived in front of the infantry phalanx, and it was easy to accidentally injure his own side by firing the artillery at this time. Zhang Wenliang was relieved to see the enemy retreating, at this time he was already covered in sweat, and he even felt that his life would be in danger when the cavalry attacked for the first time. The new army of his brigade still needs to continue to increase training.

"Steady! Stay in formation! He held his command knife and shouted incessantly, holding down his position. He remembered listening to the instructor when he was studying, when the enemy cavalry attacked the phalanx, there might be a second or third wave of cavalry waiting, just waiting for your formation to be a little messy, and you would immediately rush over and destroy the phalanx. The momentum of the cavalry's full-speed charge made him extremely frightened for a while. If it weren't for the long-term continuous training, the soldiers would have developed a sense of conditioned numbness. I'm afraid the soldiers have already been in disarray. This is also thanks to the fact that the Mawei Army has been focusing on this training in the past few years. and the peoples of the north. In the face of cavalry, it was a regular battle.

The Mawei Army did not dare to change its formation, and ordered to slowly retreat in the direction of the camp in a phalanx formation. "Steady, steady!" Zhang Wenliang brandished his command knife, and the other two battalion commanders also tried their best to maintain the order of retreat, when he heard the sound of light grenadiers playing suona behind him. A tall grenadier came from the rear in an orderly manner, and beside them a neat double column lined up to cover their retreat into the camp.

All the way to the gate of their own camp, the artillery and infantry on the earthen fence let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers - this new army had never fought the enemy in such a dignified position. Now they saw the results of their daily training on the training ground: in fact, only 2,000 infantry against 3,000 cavalry. The cavalry did not take advantage of even the slightest advantage, but left behind dead men and dead horses.

Zhang Wenliang returned to the camp and was immediately called in front of Zeng Yangxing, Zhang Wenliang straightened his chest and saluted the supreme commander of the army: "Report to the commander, there are only thirteen casualties in our brigade, and there is no death!" ”

"Well done!" Zeng Yangxing punched him hard, making this man, who was still small in Zeng Yangxing's opinion, almost fall to the ground, "I'll give you a credit first, and a military merit for all the soldiers!" ”

On the side of the Qing army, Tula finally arrived at the battlefield with the infantry. As soon as they arrived here, they saw the generals of the Qing army who had collapsed, and they retreated in chaos. Most of them had lost their helmets and weapons, and many had terrible wounds on their bodies and were planted from their horses as they ran. Tula was taken aback, it was not surprising that the outpost had lost the battle, but it was three thousand elite cavalry, and it was more than enough to break three or four times their infantry, and now they were defeated, and the defeat was so bad.

The cavalry general of the Qing army, Wolf Bèi, was brought to him unbearable: "The inferior general is incompetent-"

"How many cavalry are there in the Mawei Army?" He didn't care to listen to his plea, "Where is it now?" Say! ”

"Report to the general, there is no cavalry in the Mawei Army, it's just, it's just ......" The general of the Qing army barely swallowed a mouthful of saliva that became bitter because of the wild running and gunsmoke, "Firearms are very powerful!" ”

He explained the fact that his shock phalanx was fired accurately and continuously from a distance of 200 paces to being bombarded by shells that could explode projectile cannons in the air: "The Mawei Army not only has sharp firearms, but its ranks are strictly organized, which is by no means comparable to ordinary anti-thieves. Generals beware! ”

"Alright, you can step back first!" Tula did not believe his words very much, and the officers who lost the battle always exaggerated the enemy's strength and good warfare, but the defeat of the Qing generals was so miserable that it did not seem to be a lie. The striker was frustrated, and he decided not to rush directly into the battlefield with his troops, lest he be hit head-on by the morale of the enemy.

"You stand down first!" Tula did not believe his words very much, and the officers who lost the battle always exaggerated the enemy's strength and good warfare, but the defeat of the Qing generals was so miserable that it did not seem to be a lie.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the wake-up horn in the camp of the Mawei Army sounded loudly, "Brothers, yesterday's battle was good, but today's more dangerous battle is about to begin." Zhang Wenliang said briefly to everyone, "For this day, everyone has been training the playground for more than half a year, and now is the time to reflect the results of your training." Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid."

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid."

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid."

He glanced at everyone, "Okay, it's loud, let's do it according to the scheduled plan!" Disband! After saying that, all the officers saluted together. Zhang Wenliang also returned the salute immediately, and finally added: "Go to fight, brothers!" The shadow of the wife is just around the corner! ”

Today's battle must be in the field, and not only did the Mawei soldiers receive a hundred rounds of paper shell ammunition each. The rear had sent another 2,500 Minnie guns in reserve a few days earlier, just in case the fighting was too fierce, the guns were damaged too much, and there were no guns to use. All the stocks on the Mawei side were brought in, and they followed within two days of the departure of the navy. The soldiers were scrambling for the last time to wipe down their guns and check their ammunition.

"Knock Knock"

Although the weather was not good, Zhang Wenliang could clearly see the soldiers who were lining up from the various camps in the distance. After the gathering of centaurs. With a trumpet as a signal, the whole army drove into the wilderness. At this moment, the sound of drums was heard in the distance. It can be seen from the clairvoyant mirror that the Qing army's array today is also quite neat, and the momentum is also amazing. There were 20,000 people, and the black pressure pressed this way.

After the Qing army advanced for a few miles, with a long horn, the marching team stopped at a place three miles away from the Mawei army camp. The archers and firearms of the Qing army walked to the front row, especially the firecrackers of the Qing army, although the number was small, but they also put on a standard three-stage strike formation, with a row of people half-kneeling and a row of people standing, ready to release arrows at any time. Behind are rows of pikemen, with swordsmen on the wings, ready to fight.

It seems that the Qing army is like so many black clouds!
