Chapter 708: The Great Collision (Part II)

The cyan flag is the battle flag of the heavily armored foot soldiers, and the red flag is the battle flag of the artillery.

The phalanx of spears lost thirty percent of its soldiers, and it narrowed much after concentrating. Five parallel columns of bird-gunners moved out of the middle path, and the armor soldiers escorted the iron cannons to the front of the formation.

The two soldiers erected thick wooden piers in front of the carts, so that the iron cannons were aimed parallel to the places where the shooters were most concentrated.

"Ignition"

Ao worshiped the soul and shouted: "Disperse"

The iron ball flew three or four feet above the ground, until it met a wall of flesh, pierced through the wall of flesh, met the next wall of flesh, penetrated the ......, and finally landed on the grass a mile away.

The Jurchen archers lost their composure and courage, and their eyes were fixed on the front to see if the Ming gunners had aimed their artillery in their direction.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ao Bai shouted: "Foot battle"

If you want to avoid the sharp firearms of the Ming army, it is a good way to get close to the game. The appearance of the Ming army's iron cannon made his plan to use feather arrows to break through the Ming army's spear phalanx and then send cavalry to attack the Ming army's guns.

The Jurchen cavalry waiting behind rushed to the front of the formation in the face of artillery fire, dismounted ten steps in front of the spear phalanx, and carried long knives to the dense ash pole gun forest.

They used their blades and backs to block a path through the dense forest of spears, their thick armor giving them no fear of stabbing the tip of their chest, and only their legs and face were their life.

The phalanx is crooked.

The Chinese army waved the green flag in the direction, and the armor soldiers guarding the iron cannon rushed to the battlefield.

A phalanx broke up, and the Qing cavalry did not miss any opportunity, and when they saw the stitches, the heavy snort of the war horse hit the back of the soldier, and the long knife broke off one head after another

The gunners retreated to the two flanks, and the rear phalanx changed direction, blocking the route of the Qing cavalry to continue the pursuit.

At least two or three places in the battlefield were precarious, and pikemen without heavy armor were the key targets of Qing Yu's arrows, so Li Zhi'an had to mobilize reserves early.

The Jurchens were very powerful, and Ao Bai was not afraid of the iron cannons of the Ming army, and he was at the front of the battlefield to command the battle, and his heart was under a lot of pressure.

The Ming army camp and Huai'an City received the news almost at the same time.

Even if there was no messenger to report the news, only to hear the dense sound of guns and cannons coming from dozens of miles away, Feng Qin and Zilharang knew that the scene of this battle was not small.

"Aobai, Aobai" Zilharang didn't know what to scold.

The matter has come to this point, and the Ming army must not be allowed to advance to Huai'an City again. He gave an order aloud: "Order all units to attack and defeat the invading Ming army"

When the overwhelming Qing cavalry arrived at the battlefield, dense banners of the Ming army also appeared five or six miles south of the besieged Li Zhi'an department.

Li Zhi'an had already sent out the last reserve force, and the Jurchens seemed to have found the courage to fight against the Ming army outside the Saiwai.

The front of the battle was like a puddle of mud, grass, mud and blood.

Tang Poshan secretly looked back and saw the reinforcements, and shouted with relief: "General, the general has arrived"

The Chinese army of the Ming army marched slowly, and Yuan Qizhou and Fang Yuanke were like a big pincer, quickly inserting into the two wings of Li Zhi'an's department. The herald came at a gallop and raised his flag in front of Li Zhi'an to order: "The general has an order, order General Li to shrink the front"

After giving the order, the knight turned his horse and retreated.

Li Zhi'an understood what Feng Qin meant, the Yuan Qizhou Department and the Fang Yuan Department covered the two wings of the formation, and he could face Ao Bai with concentration.

"Okay, come on"

After Li Zhi'an gave several orders, he urged the horse out.

Brave and experienced in battle, this Jurchen army was superior to any of his previous opponents, and they were like predatory wolves, dividing and cutting through the strong positions of the Ming army.

The Chinese army on duty stopped two miles behind Li Zhi'an's department.

The Fengqin army had a number of iron cannons that the Ming army could not match. The array of horse-repellent spears piled up on the wagons resembled monsters with teeth and claws, tailor-made for him by the weapons workshop. Feng Qin did not use Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles, because the number of iron cannons in his army was too much.

There was a red-faced man standing beside him, it was Yan Yingyuan. Yan Yingyuan fought for five years, and when he saw the situation on the battlefield, he felt that the atmosphere was depressing, and asked sideways: "General, do you want a decisive battle?" ”

Feng Qin frowned and said, "At least, we can't leave Li Zhi'an behind" The decision on the battlefield is not in the hands of the Ming army, and the Qing cavalry can come and go freely and can leave the battlefield. With such a huge formation of the Ming army, once it retreated, it was pursued by the Qing cavalry, and the consequences were unimaginable.

He pointed to his right hand with his horsewhip: "You are going to protect Yuan Qizhou's flank and rear, his momentum is too strong, and his follow-up is weak." ”

"Obey the order" Yan Yingyuan urged the horse to return to the main formation.

Zheng Zunqianjun followed Fang Yuanke. The Ming army took two generals as the central army and four general soldiers as the flanks, presenting two parallel columns on the battlefield.

The decisive battle of the 100,000-strong army is exciting to think about, and the same is true for every Qin.

Li Zhi'an's army was squeezed into the army and miserable, and his left and right flanks were indeed protected, but Ao Bai could also concentrate on attacking his tired soldiers.

The pikemen who had dispersed to the rear of the formation were regrouped, and in order to cope with the onslaught of the Jurchen heavy armor infantry on the opposing formation, he disbanded the three-percent bird gun queue and ordered the gunners to shoot freely.

Little by little, the sun in the sky is moving westward.

Yuan Qizhou and the Qing Capture Boluo Department fought, and Fang Yuanke faced Li Chengdong.

Feng Qin's main formation, plus 30,000 government soldiers, stood behind the battlefield safely. He had defeated Bolo, he had defeated Aobai, and Dolgon was helpless, and as long as he was here, he was a deterrent to the Qing captives.

In the entire battlefield, only the Aobai Department fought the most ferociously, eager to swallow the Ming army on the opposite side in one bite.

An hour later.

Li Zhi'an's iron armor was stained with blood: "Tang Poshan, ask General Feng for help, this formation is almost unable to hold on"

"Obey" Tang Poshan beckoned to the herald more than a dozen steps away.

Li Zhi'an roared: "You go by yourself and make the shape clear." "The soldiers and horses under his command have lost more than thirty percent, and the retreat of the soldiers has a tendency to spread.

Tang Poshan turned around and saluted, urging the horse to retreat to the neat phalanx behind.

Far away, Li Zhian also let out a roar: "Please enter the battle quickly, General Feng"

When Tang Poshan rushed to the middle army of the Fengqin Department, Fengqin did not look around at the battlefield, but sat on the grass and closed his eyes to recuperate. The experienced commander can not only observe the battlefield with a pair of eyes, the sound of fighting and cannons everywhere reaches Feng Qin's ears, and he knows the tables of each department well.

"The Yuan Qizhou army is gaining an advantage. The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and Bolo loses a lot of battles, and he does not have the upper hand in the confrontation with the infantry and gunners of the Ming army. ”

"Yan Yingyuan's field battle is unexpectedly fierce, it seems that he does have some ability"

"Fang Yuanke's frequency and degree of firing firearms to Li Chengdong are a little messy, and it seems that Li Chengdong has brought him a lot of pressure."

"Report" Tang Poshan roared, there is indeed a posture of breaking the mountain, "My general can't hold it anymore, ask General Feng for help"

Feng Qin opened his eyes and said, "It's okay, if you hold on for another half an hour, the courage of the Ao Bai Army will come to an end." ”

"General" Tang Poshan remembered Li Zhi'an's demeanor before, if he hadn't been forced to be helpless, how could Li Zhian take the initiative to ask for help. He is the old man of the Tianxiong Army, and he knows that Li Zhi'anjun has some characteristics of the Tianxiong Army. There is no need to say much about the soldiers fighting bravely and desperately, otherwise they will not be able to resist the 10,000 elite Jurchen cavalry, but once the confidence of the army is destroyed, the soldiers will collapse like a gust of wind, and they can't stop it by pulling and slashing.

"General Feng, our soldiers have been fighting hard for two hours, and they are tired and unbearable."

Feng Qin's eyes glared: "If you can't hold on for half an hour, you ask Li Zhian not to come back to see me"

Tang Poshan didn't dare to say anything, and retreated.

The sun was still a pole above the horizon, and in an hour it would be dark. The Chinese armies on both sides did not move, perhaps waiting for that moment.

Feng Qin fought against many Qing soldiers, and the cavalry of the Aobai Department was the opponent who impressed him the most. Ao Bai is brave enough, and it is not reckless bravery. Ao Bai's grasp of the local battlefield is very accurate, which can remind him of Zuo Ruo.

There is something peculiar about today's battlefield.

If he didn't really fight with a knife or a gun, he really couldn't tell the difference between the several major factions of the Huai'an Qing soldiers.

Li Chengdong's army is very powerful, but he has always had reservations on the battlefield, although he suppressed Fang Yuanke, but he was reluctant to spend money to expand the results. It seems that Bolo's defeat is really too much, and under the pressure of Yuan Qizhou and Yan Yingyuan, the two fierce generals, he retreated step by step, and Zierharang sent soldiers and horses to support to maintain the battle line. He didn't know that Zilharang had transferred all the fierce generals of the Bolo army to Aobai.

Feng Qin believed that the Qing soldiers in Huai'an City were centered on Jierharang and Aobai. He wanted to fight Zilharang once, after defeating the Aobai tribe. Although he is very cautious, he is very confident, and recently he has made some changes to the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and wants to test them on the battlefield.

The sun is setting unstoppably.

Half an hour later, Li Zhian led his army back.

The soldiers were like the waters of the ebbing tide, and this retreat was not much different from a rout. Li Zhi'an raised his sword in the crowd and shouted: "Keep in line" In the end, he himself was entrapped in the chaos and could not turn around, but fortunately, the soldiers also knew to avoid the oncoming tight and neat Fengqin front.

The cavalry drove the rout, like a sheep in the steppe. It's just that the banner that moves quietly behind the flock makes it impossible for the victors to pursue it wantonly.

Ao Bai couldn't control the ecstasy in his heart, and he succeeded. After three hours of torment, he defeated twice as many opponents.

Defeating twice as many foot soldiers with cavalry is not something to boast about, but when was the last time the Qing Dynasty won a battle? It seems that he was also the one who killed a general soldier in Luzhou.

"Report to the Chinese army, ask the prince to send troops, and kill the defeat"

The soldiers were a little stunned, only the prince had always given orders to you, how could anyone really give orders to the prince.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Ao Bai waved his arms irritably: "Hurry up, I'm going to take the lead, let the prince must follow" His cavalry is also the end of the crossbow, and he is not arrogant enough to think that the soldiers and horses of the headquarters can defeat Feng Qin.

"Defeat and diligence" Ao Bai turned around and urged the horse forward, full of fighting spirit.

It's getting dark
