An old-fashioned four-wheeled vehicle slowly moved forward on a two-foot high watchtower. From the Warring States period to the present, this battlefield tool has not changed for two thousand years, silently telling the war heritage of the Chinese nation.

Zhu Cihong took a step to the watchtower, got off the horse and sat on the rattan chair, and gently shook the sore inner thigh muscles. Xiao Mo soon came over, saw Zhu Cihong's figure from a distance, turned over and dismounted, strode forward two steps, his knees were weak, and the person was already kneeling.

"The last general is incapable of breaking the enemy, but he is tired of His Highness personally risking arrows and stones, and he is in a dangerous situation, and he deserves death!" Xiao Mo's head hung very low, and the remorse in his heart was overflowing.

Zhu Cihong stepped forward to help Xiao Mo up, and said with relief: "Dongyu attacked me with crowds, and it is not easy for our army to kill and retreat the elite raid." Although I am in the country, I am also the founder of the Donggong Army, and it is a matter of course to risk the arrow stone, what is the general's crime? ”

Xiao Mo didn't make a gesture of a little daughter, took out the secret report of the cavalry battalion, and presented it with both hands: "Your Highness, the cavalry battalion has arrived at the attack position, and it will carry out a surprise attack on the Zhenglan Banner at four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Zhu Cihong looked at the sky and said happily: "Break the enemy in one move, let the soldiers drink saliva first, and wait for the two phases to attack......"

Before Zhu Cihong's words fell, he was interrupted by the roar of artillery. Xiao Mo climbed the bamboo ladder to climb the watchtower, and with a high view, it turned out that the blue flag and the white flag wanted to merge together, and they were bombarded by the artillery in front of them.

In the era of cold weapons, the intensity of firepower in the unit area directly affects the battlefield situation, and the influence is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two. It is not difficult to understand the temptation of the blue flag and the white flag to join forces.

Moreover, due to the terrain of the battlefield, if the two flags want to avoid the attack of artillery, they can only retreat sharply, but they can also know if they think about it with their knees. It was impossible for the Ming army to watch them regroup and attack after they had withdrawn. Once the Eastern Capture Advance retreated, the Ming army would bite until the two banners were forced to the Hutuo River.

"The terrain in the north is distorted, and there is the Tushan fault, even after the army is combined, how will the formation unfold!" Shi Tingzhu was asked by Bahana to make a detour to the north. Avoiding the order of the artillery and the blue flag to join forces, it was greatly enraged.

Mel Zhangjing stepped forward and said: "Master, our department pays attention to firearms and is timid in hand-to-hand combat. Otherwise, let's rush again, maybe we can rush through this time. ”

Shi Tingzhu's brows furrowed deeply, and he said, "Under artillery bombardment." The queue will definitely disperse, if the Ming army rushes up at this time, where can it be spared? In my opinion, you still have to order someone along the river to collect the ferry, and find a way to cross the river. ”

"Do you want to inform Lord Lobahana?" Melerjangin asked.

"Tell him, if he won't go, we'll go by ourselves!" Shi Tingzhu stomped heavily on the mud under his feet. The Ming army who broke through the formation before was still worried, and it was obvious that the Ming army was a messenger. From the direction he came, it can be seen that there is a Ming army to the east of the entire Southern Route Army. If you don't leave this dangerous place again, wait for the two armies to converge. It's too late to leave.

And this Ming army is so brave and good at fighting, it is like the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers in the Battle of the Hunhe River!

Shi Tingzhu recalled the bloody battle of Liaozuo that year, and his heart couldn't help but feel empty. He immediately comforted himself: back then, 11,000 soldiers from Sichuan and Zhejiang fought against tens of thousands of Eight Banners, and now although this army is brave, it is just a tie with the two banners and takes some advantage. There's no need to scare yourself.

"There aren't many of them, so they won't take the initiative to fight us......" Shi Tingzhu didn't finish speaking, he only heard a melodious and rich Polo sound, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "What's the matter!" ”

"Report~! Master! The Ming army has been killed! "Shi Tingzhu's Goshha rushed over. Kneel in front of the stone pillar.

"So what are you waiting for! Prepare for the enemy! Shi Tingzhu was shocked, hurriedly ordered, and roared: "Where is my horse! What about horses! ”

"Behind you, master......"

……

Each battalion had a Tessie bell, which marched with the battalion as a strategic material. These luxury goods bought from Jiangnan have an immeasurable role in dividing troops and coordinating operations. However, there was a fatal flaw that was not exposed until the order to fight the whole army was issued.

Not on time!

When the grandfather clock is left at home, the error is only about one minute a day, which is completely tolerable. However, after the bump, the time error is much larger. And as a unique timer, there is no way to proofread it. As a result, the time of each clock can be as low as half an hour or as long as several hours.

Because Zhu Cihong is more concerned about time, he has to send someone to calibrate the time according to the sundial at noon every day, and the error can be controlled within five minutes. But for Zhou Yuji, who only knew about the grandfather clock for the first time a few months ago, it is difficult to say whether he has such awareness.

The artillery was pushed to the front of the formation, and the offensive was opened with a bang.

The armor soldiers of the blue flag drove Baoyi Aha and the people, rushed to the artillery position of the Ming army, and broke into the range of the tiger squat cannon under the supervision of the armor soldiers, and were instantly dizzy by the shotguns filled with iron.

The marching drums sounded, and the 1st Guards Battalion rushed forward in formation, crossed the artillery position, and collided with the blue flag that rushed up. The rattan players and round shield players wearing heavy armor correspond to the Bayala and the armor soldiers of Manchuria in terms of combat effectiveness, and when they encounter those unarmored clothed Ahabs, they are like boiling water pouring ice, and they instantly penetrate through.

"Bayara! Vest! Rush up! Bahana hurriedly said: "Kill them all!" ”

Holding a large knife that could cut off the horse's head with one sword, Bayala and the horse armor gathered together, let go of their horsepower, and rushed forward in front of the Ming army. The armor soldiers dodged one after another, allowing these brave veterans who were good at battle formations to step forward and break the formation.

The 3,000th headquarters brought in pikemen, temporarily heavily armoured, to form a gun formation and point at the rushing cavalry. The spear, which is four feet long, is like a sharp thorn on the hedgehog's body, densely packed. The horsemen who forced the rush had to turn their horses' heads in front of the formation, and the boss was unwilling to spin and shoot arrows, hoping to knock on the Ming formation.

"Cut in!" Seeing this, Bahana was impatient, and with his broadsword, he rushed forward with his goshha.

Goshha was the personal soldier of these Manchurian nobles, not only with excellent combat skills, but also loyal to the main general. The only difference between them and Bayala is that Bayala belongs to the soldiers of the "Gongzhong", while Goshha is the personal soldier of the general. These privates soon showed their attack power not inferior to that of Bayara, and slammed a blow at the defense line of the 3,000th headquarters.

The thousand general heralds changed the defensive formation, no longer aggressive, but only thought that the defense was stable.

Xiao Mo's general flag rushed all the way to the middle of the battlefield, personally sitting in the 2,000th headquarters, and commanding the divisions below the second department to control the speed of the attack. Gradually widen the distance from the 3,000 headquarters, and at the same time slow down the 1,000th headquarters.

The 1,000th Headquarters, with the Tank Division as the leader, pierced into the array of the positive blue flag like a sharp knife, and spared no effort to rush forward. The flintlock pistol board roamed on the outside of the tank division, attacking the blue flag in the form of saturation attacks, and whenever the armor of the blue flag was beaten and had to rush to the flintlock pistol board, the tank division and the outer combat reserve division would flank the attack on both sides to block the attack of the eastern captives.

At the same time, the War Reserve Division had to guard against the Han army with the white flag on the right flank of the army, but they did not dispatch. This is undoubtedly a death sentence, but for the 1st Guards Battalion, it is great news that the white flag is put into the battlefield one minute late.

"Shi Tingzhu's pig! weishenme does not attack yet! Bahana didn't take advantage, and after retreating from the formation, he saw from afar that the Gushan Banner and the Jiala Banner with the white flag did not move, and he couldn't help but be furious.

Shi Tingzhu was on a horse, and he had no intention of saving Bahana. He pointed to the array of the Ming army and said to his deputy, Meler Zhangjing: "This Ming army is very fierce, even if we rush forward, we can't win." And, you see, Bahana has been encircled by the Ming army, and if he doesn't retreat, he will be broken by the Ming army from the flank. ”

"Master, if we sit idly by, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when we go back." Melerjangjing wondered.

"Who says we're sitting idly by?" Shi Tingzhu said angrily: "Order!" Let Aha rush into battle, those who dare to retreat, slash! ”

The numb slave, disheveled, took his weapon and charged forward under the threat of the sword. Some people are better, but they still use iron tools; Some people only have a wooden mallet, and they don't believe that they can use this kind of weapon, or farm tools, to break the iron armor of the Ming army. (To be continued......)
