Chapter 3 The clear cavalry strong breakthrough phalanx
With the sound of "boom", the poles and spears were stretched out of the formation, in order to deter the cavalry. The cavalry was most afraid of pikemen, because before they could rush to the point, they would be hit by the spears that were drawn, and that would be either death or injury.
At first, the Qing cavalry took turns shooting, they were divided into three rows of people, just like the musketeers of the Ming army, they kept firing arrows in three rows, so as to ensure that the arrows were constantly pouring towards the Ming army.
Although there was a big shield to cover, but the enemy's arrows seemed to be seamless, after the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu", behind the shield there were always one or two Ming soldiers fell to the ground, their heads hit the ground heavily, bounced again, and then fell to the ground again and could not move again.
After the enemy soldiers in the front row fell to the ground, there were Ming soldiers immediately picking up from behind, and some people also dragged the corpses of their comrades to the back, so as not to prevent other soldiers from following them, and they still maintained their formation. They still shouted, "Hohoo! Kill!! "They are showing the Qing soldiers that they are not afraid of the Qing army, on the contrary, they are very excited to fight the Qing army!
The Qing army heard the shout, and they also showed a smile on their faces, and they were even more respectful, because they felt that it was fun to meet such a powerful enemy, like the previous Ming army, what did it mean to be defeated as soon as they heard about it? Only a legion like Zhang Biwu can win the respect of the enemy!
The Qing soldiers did not attack, but continued to shoot arrows on the periphery, and they were also dodging arrows and muskets fired from the phalanx.
Seeing this, Duoduo felt a little itchy and thought, "Zhang Biwu, are you going to keep your turtle formation all the time?" That's not fun! Everyone fights out, it's good to fight! But everything was as my brother expected, Zhang Biwu did it again. It can only be self-defeating! ”
Zhang Biwu is also paying attention. The Qing soldiers can now only besiege with cavalry. After all, seeing that the formation is strong, if they break through, they will suffer a lot of losses.
Zhang Biwu thought in his heart: "Duoduo, now than you and me, who can endure the most, if you can't bear it, if you attack first, the other side will suffer defeat!" Come on! I'll see how long you can endure it! My killer weapon, the Hongyi Cannon, hasn't been sacrificed yet! Thank you Sun Chuanting. It is indeed much more secure for him to install the Hongyi cannon on the chariot! ”
Zhang Biwu calmed down, he was waiting for the Qing army to use everything, and now whoever moves first will die!
A marquis came to report: "Master soldier, 900 soldiers of our army have been shot dead, and 1,600 soldiers have been shot and wounded!" ”
Zhang Biwu waved his hand and motioned for Hou to ride down, Zhang Biwu had to continue to wait, if the other party wanted to continue to ride and shoot, then let him ride and shoot! You can't attack it! After all, most of our side are infantry!
Duoduo looked at Zhang Biwu and was determined to defend to the end, and time passed by less and less. Not only he couldn't stand it, but even his soldiers couldn't stand it. Their cavalrymen and horses would get tired. If it goes on like this, the morale will be completely discharged! Attack! Must attack! Plus the generals are all here to fight! They are full of people who are absolutely not afraid of anything!
Duoduo shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and immediately attacks the enemy!" Offensive! "Duoduo won't just let the cavalry attack on the two wings, Zhang Biwu is already on guard, no matter how the two wings don't get high results.
No, as soon as the Qing army heard the sound of the horn, they immediately went crazy and stormed the two flanks behind them.
The spikes of the chariots and the spearmen did not hold them back, and they nevertheless stormed the phalanx with unstoppable courage.
Even if the bodies of the Qing soldiers were nailed to the spikes on the peripheral chariots, and the blood had not yet dried up, the Qing cavalry behind them would follow in a hurry.
"Porphy! Porphyry", one after another cavalry jumped into the phalanx, and they were about to make a big fuss in the phalanx.
But the Ming soldiers were not afraid of them, a Ming soldier jumped up quickly, threw the Qing cavalry off the horse, wanted to suppress him and then kill him, but he didn't expect that the Qing cavalry was stabbed with a saber, which ended the life of the Ming soldier.
Zhang Biwu watched, he had to admire the combat ability of the Qing army, he couldn't take out the Hongyi cannon now, he still had to wait for the enemy to continue fighting, and he believed that his army could win.
No, the enemy soldiers who jumped into the phalanx were quickly wiped out, and the cavalry on the edge were still running fast, waiting for the furious fire of their musketeers.
This time, either the person ate the bullet, or the war horse was hit, and after only a while, the "bang" sound dropped dozens of war horses and human corpses.
The arrows of the Qing soldiers still did not stop, and the Ming soldiers raised their shields high, and they were protecting the fire gunners and archers to the death.
Another Qing cavalry jumped into the phalanx, but what was waiting for him was a dozen spears stabbed together, which immediately pierced his body.
There are also several Qing cavalry galloping in the phalanx, their sabers are waving, flesh and blood flying, but they see that there are a lot of antlers and other obstacles here, after all, the cavalry of the Ming army is small, so naturally these things are set up in it to prevent the cavalry from coming in.
The cavalry of the Qing army were not stupid, they were pulled by two cavalrymen together with a big log and rushed to the shield, as long as the big wood hit the shield, the shield would immediately fall to the ground. As for the chariots and the requisitioned civilian carts, there are spikes on them, and there are soldiers guarding them, which are not as easy to break through as the shields, so they naturally will not be easily provoked.
"Boom" but after seeing the giant tree hit the shield, the shield fell in a large piece. The Qing cavalry was the first to break in, but the Ming soldiers were not stupid, when they saw the Qing cavalry doing this, they let the musketeers and archers all be in place, and once the Qing cavalry appeared, guns and bows were fired in a volley.
The Qing cavalry in the front was immediately shot and fell to the ground, and the following was just about to rush over, and when they saw the spear and the halberd, they were already waiting for them, and those who rushed fast were often pierced by the spear.
Duoduo personally wielded the broadsword, he was going to go into battle in person, otherwise if he continued to fight, he didn't know if he could defeat the other party. As soon as he appeared on the battlefield, the morale of the Qing army would be greatly boosted.
"Kill!" Dodor is straight ahead! His horses are extremely fast! His own soldiers followed, and he was to charge with them. His banner fluttered in the wind, and the Qing army could see his banner as soon as they looked up.
The five spears of the Ming soldiers stretched out neatly, trying to assassinate Duoduo, and with a wave of Duoduo's knife, the five spears were immediately broken in unison.
By the time the five soldiers turned their heads to look, Dodor had already appeared behind them, ignoring them at all. Dodor slapped his horse and rowed it all the way with the spear in his hand.
Because the Ming soldiers didn't notice that an enemy general would jump into the formation, and they also made a lot of trouble behind them. A large cut was made in their backs, and a row of people collapsed in a pool of blood.
Without the protection of these people, the cavalry following Duoduo could easily break through the defenses.
Zhang Biwu looked at it from afar, he smiled and said, "Duoduo doesn't seem to be able to hold it back!" His cavalry is already starting to go all out! Just let them sink into the quagmire under the drag of our phalanx, and then let my cavalry go out, and if my cavalry strikes at their rear, they will be in a dilemma. Moreover, it will be attacked from both sides by our army, and there is a danger of annihilation! But ......"
Zhang Biwu's face was solemn, he didn't think that victory would come so easily, he and Xuan Jianhao, Li Yan and others all thought that the Qing army would not only have 30,000 people, don't look at Duoduo irritable, but he is also powerful in using soldiers, he will not be so stupid, there will definitely be a follower! This is also the reason why Zhang Biwu has always refused to use his Hongyi cannon.
Duoduo and his men were already a little tired under the strong attack, and even if they used one hundred and twenty percent of their strength, they couldn't break through Zhang Biwu's phalanx.
Now Zhang Biwu felt that the time had come, he had to let his cavalry dispatch, and under the attack from both sides, the battle situation would develop towards the situation he expected.
The cavalry of the Ming army was dispatched! The sound moves the earth! It was copied to the rear of the Qing army. "Ho-ho! Kill! Come on! The shouts and shouts are a sign that they will march towards victory!
But Duoduo didn't panic at all, and said, "It's finally a dispatch!" Zhang Biwu's cavalry moved, all of which we expected! ”
The sound of "boom" was not only emitted by the cavalry of the Ming army, but also seemed to be emitted by another army.
This voice immediately attracted the attention of all the two sides involved in the war. Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a sortie!" I knew that Dodor wouldn't use all his military power here! Sure enough, he secretly hid an army! It's just that we don't know where his army came from and how many troops it has! ”
Xuan Jianhao said confidently on the side: "But even if they have this army, they can't defeat us!" ”
Li Yan is still not easy, although he has not fought with the Qing army, even if Li Zicheng went to Shanhaiguan to fight with the Qing army, he did not participate, he was just the person in charge of defending Beijing, but he always felt that the Qing army would not be so simple, he wanted to see what else the Qing army did? However, he felt that there was a little bit that Zhang Biwu was also making the mistake of arrogance! It's exactly the same as Li Zicheng.
Zhang Biwu is very clear about the terrain here, and he knows where another hidden cavalry of the Qing army might come from. Now his ambush will ambush the cavalry of the Qing army, so that the Qing army can not come here quickly, and wait until the battle situation on this side has been decided, and the strange army of the Qing army is dragged to death, and then turn back and destroy the Qing army, even if the Qing army retreats, at least it can get a big victory.
