A bright white light with a cyan tail smoke rose into the northeast air, making a sharp whistling sound.

This Sky Monkey was a signal from the 2000th Headquarters that he had moved in place and was ready to enter the battle.

Xiao Mo was waiting for this moment.

"Don't let any of them run!" Xiao Mo's command knife was raised high, and he issued the order for the whole army to charge.

With the sharp sound of suona resounding across the battlefield, Liu Laosi finally waited for the moment to charge. He held up the square card and was the first to burst out of the array. Behind him, the pikemen and the palladium boring men also erupted into a battle cry and chased after him.

The blue banner of Jia La'e Zhen shouted to his subordinates, ordered to assemble, and launched a charge against the Ming army that rushed up. In the last two decades, hundreds of Manchurian cavalry chased and slaughtered tens of thousands of Ming troops, which had become the norm on both battlefields. Today, however, that norm has been shattered.

The traditional eighty steps of the Ming people are equal to thirty-eight zhang and another four feet, that is, one hundred and twenty-eight meters that Zhu Cihong is more familiar with.

At this distance, Donggong's physical training standard is twenty seconds to pass, but the charging time must be calculated according to the speed of the shield's full load, and the time for the entire formation to meet Dongyu should be between thirty and forty seconds.

If the cavalry of the Eastern Captives stood still.

The armor of the blue flag was simply astonished that the Ming army dared to attack his horse armor soldiers. Perhaps the older generation of Donglu had also seen the field charge of the Guanning army in Sun Chengzong's era, but he never believed that the current southern barbarians would dare to charge at the vest with infantry armor.

"Rush over and kill them all!" Ala's true raised his broadsword and shouted loudly.

"Bow and arrow! Shoot! Liu Xi in the charge also shouted.

The Short Knife Killers have already drawn their bows and arrows, and completed the tactical action of lunges and arrows in the run, and threw them at an upward elevation angle.

The arrow feathers broke through the air and landed on the heads of the slow-running cavalry.

This round of arrow rain only allowed a dozen or so horses to fall off their horses. There were also arrows stuck in the armor of the Eastern Prisoners, but no one was hurt.

When the cavalry had reached a distance of twenty paces, the Ala-e-jin shouted and urged the horses to charge with all their might. He seemed to have seen the sight of the foot soldiers turning and fleeing, and let out a hoarse and strange roar, as if he had returned to the hunting ground between the white mountains and black waters.

"Assemble! Gun array! Liu Xian was fearless. The shield was already raised on the run.

The Chinese military flag of the tank division waved the signal to assemble, and the vertical formations in the running moved closer one after another, and the shields almost formed a wall, adjusting the horizontal line at a distance of dozens of paces from Zuihou.

Liu Xi had already seen the Dongyu cavalry fighting against him. It was a wild man with his upper sockets exposed, with sallow skin and eyes so small that they almost didn't seem to be open. He had rings on his nostrils and ears, like a ghost in the temple.

The Dongyu cavalry also stared at the tall Liu Xian, smiling and slashing at his head with a big sword.

Liu Shi raised his shield diagonally, and the broadsword fell weakly on the shield. He unloaded his force and slid past him.

Dongyu's face was full of hideousness, and he slowly lowered his head to look at the two spears stuck under his ribs.

The spears twisted and stabbed at the same time, tearing the flesh and skin, and then retracted, as if they were mirror images of each other, exactly the same. Repeated practice for a long time. Finally shows the brutal artistry. At the moment of contact with the Eastern cavalry, a four-foot spear pierced out of the gap in the shield. The cavalry that rushed to the front stabbed the people on their backs.

"Tiger!" Liu Xian shouted and took the lead in charging into the cavalry array.

"Tiger!" Everyone shouted and rushed forward.

The cavalry formation was only two loose rows, and under the double onslaught of elite pikemen and brave shieldmen, it was torn apart by a breath.

The blue banner of the Jiala Ezhen issued a call for retreat, and the cavalry turned their horses. Escape the battlefield.

It was impossible for the infantry, especially in the case of heavy armor, to catch up with the cavalry, but from here to the point of the 150 zhang mark, it was the effective range of artillery bombardment. Even if you escape two miles away, you can still be hit by a ricochet. The artillerymen vented all the suppressed passions just now, and chased and killed the fleeing cavalry with shells.

Dong Yu urged his horsepower and spared no effort to escape from this death zone. Although only two horsemen were actually killed by the artillery, this psychological pressure made them dare not even turn back and flee for their lives.

When the people of Dongyu were exhausted after a hard fight, they were greeted by the 2,000th headquarters from the north.

……

"Someone still escaped." You Shiwei said disappointedly.

"Twelve horses and nine men escaped." Xiao Mo was not happy to hear someone splashing cold water on the first battalion at this time: "Two hundred and six enemies were annihilated, and eight people were captured." Seventy-six people were killed and 60 wounded in our battalion, and we are already being treated. ”

The battle losses were concentrated in the 1,000th headquarters of the 1st Battalion, and in the face of cavalry charges, it was still very difficult to rely on the human body to fight. Even if the spear is the only weapon against cavalry, it cannot avoid its own casualties. In fact, being able to have such a lower battle loss than the enemy in the field is already a very great achievement.

"It's not a good start, but it's a good start." Zhu Cihong was already satisfied with being able to find out the combat effectiveness of Dongyu. And the soldiers were very happy, because there would be more horse meat in the extra meal tonight.

"Your Highness," Xiao Mo continued to report, "Now the second and third divisions are gathering the refugees in Wuqiao to move south, and try to ensure that the strategy of clearing the wilderness will be completed when the rear team of the Eastern Captives arrives. ”

With Texas as the center of the circle and a radius of forty miles, all the people must be moved away so as not to become the civil servants of the Eastern Captives. Although the summer harvest is about to enter the second season, in the face of a virus-like nation like the Manchurians, as long as one person is left, it will add a little bit to them. The lesser of two evils had to be forfeited this season's harvest and even this year's planting.

"To ensure the intensity of publicity," Zhu Cihong said: "In the end, I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, don't be too rude." ”

Xiao Mo nodded yes.

You Shiwei saw Chen De, and suddenly remembered that he still had a labor battalion under him, and said, "Your Highness, if there is a shortage of manpower, can you send the labor battalion to the auxiliaries?" When the people saw that there were many people, they were naturally afraid, and they would not do stupid things. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Chen De: "Can you do it?" ”

"Being a wooden man?" Chen De said disdainfully: "Your Highness, our department can completely complete the order!" If you send an engineer battalion......"

"The engineer battalion still has to stay to complete the defense of the city." Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Pick reliable laborers and go to help maintain order." The city defense project must not be slackened. ”

Chen De saluted and obeyed.

Zhu Cihong's gaze slid over the generals and fell on a fresh face. The man had the rank of lieutenant colonel, but in terms of age, he was a little older, not like he was from the East Palace guard battalion.

"You're from the Firearms Division?" Zhu Cihong asked.

The lieutenant colonel stood up, saluted as if it were a courtesy, and replied loudly: "Long Fucai, the staff officer of the lieutenant colonel of the Hongyi Artillery Teaching Department of the Inferior Firearms Division, see Your Highness." ”

"You're not from the old guard battalion, are you?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, his ancestral home is Jiangxi, his hometown is Dengzhou, Chongzhen was coerced by the traitor Kong Youde to cross the sea in six years, and he fled back to the sea in March this year to be rescued by Shen Du." Long Fucai said.

"Then how did you end up in the Firearms Division?" Zhu Cihong was a little surprised. The staffing of the Firearms Division is the tightest, and it is the key mission area of the 10-member regiment, how can a person who has just escaped from the Dongyu side be allowed to hold such a high position? What's even more strange is that he didn't have a special impression, so it can be seen that Wu Changchun did not raise any objections in the promotion and award report.

"He once studied artillery with Xilao of Gongsha, and was a gunner in Wuzhen Chaoha, and later returned to the Zhengbai Banner Han Army." Long Fucai seemed to know what Zhu Cihong was going to ask. Ever since he came ashore, there have always been various people who have been digging into his past through various questions, and seem to be particularly curious about him.

"Can Dongyu survive?"

People who can shoot cannons, even in the East Palace, are in short supply, not to mention that he is still an old gunner.

"The lowly wife and children are dead, and the lowly doesn't want to stay there anymore to work for Dongyu." Long Fucai said, his eyes flashing a little watery.

Zhu Cihong nodded and changed the subject: "Why didn't Xiao Tugeng come?" ”

"General Xiao has to personally escort the new cannon, I'm afraid it's a delay on the way." Long Fu answered.

Zhu Cihong looked at You Shiwei again, if the chief of staff did not have any special suggestions, this military meeting could come to an end.

"Report~" Ling Bing appeared at the door with a long voice: "Your Highness! Some people called themselves angels, saying that they had come to preach the message. (To be continued......)
