It was not without resistance in the peasant army. Some desperate people threw their weapons at the soldiers of the Runing Army. Although this also caused some casualties among the Runing Army, the pikemen in the front row of the Runing Army were all wearing armor, and those who lost their weapons were killed immediately, so this resistance could not shake the formation of the Runing Army at all.

There were also veterans of the peasant army who used knives and axes to cut the barrels of their spears, but the spears of the Runing Army were all specially made. The spear was about six feet long, the tip of the spear was half a foot long, and an iron holster nearly a foot long was placed on the barrel of the front gun. So it was very difficult to be cut off by the peasant army. So at this time, the peasant army that rushed to the front had already suffered huge casualties.

But these peasant armies are definitely going forward and succeeding, and they know that if they don't break the formation of the Runing army in one go, then everything will be repeated, and the sacrifices in front will be in vain.

As a result, many of the spears were hung with corpses, which were either stabbed to death by spears, or directly pushed forward by the people in the back row and hung on the spears. The weight of the corpse suddenly opened some gaps in the gunline.

There was a small leader of the peasant army holding a large knife in front of him, he jumped into the gap, brandished the big knife and slashed left and right, and immediately cut off two spears, and saw that he was about to reach the other party. But at this moment, there was a tingling pain in his lower abdomen, and this pain immediately caused all the strength in his body to be drained in an instant. The spears in the back row were staring at him and stabbed at him all at once......

Yang Chengzu, who was in command, kept beating his thigh with a horsewhip at this time, and those who were familiar with his habits knew that he regretted it. In order to fight a quick battle, and also to guard against the firearms of the Runing army, this time Yang Chengzu did not send archers to shoot arrows first. But now that the two armies are entangled together, it is impossible to shoot arrows anymore, so Yang Chengzu gave a few orders to a general beside him, and the general immediately gathered the rear team. He pressed forward as well.

The peasant army in the front was already beaten to pieces, and seeing that there was nothing to do, the leader of the peasant army under his command beckoned the soldiers to retire for a while. However, they didn't dare to retreat too far, just to prevent the Runing army from standing in a complete formation again.

The soldiers of the Runing Army were also slightly relieved when they saw that the peasant army had retreated. Although there were not many casualties in the battle just now, the kind of face-to-face blood splatters still made people feel particularly nervous.

But before the Runing Army could take a few breaths, in the gap between the peasant army in the front row, the peasant army in the back row pounced again.

When the Runing army lined up again, the peasant troops in the back row ran to a distance of nearly ten paces from the phalanx, but immediately stopped. Picked up a javelin and a hand axe and threw it over. Although it was protected by armor, it still couldn't stop this heavy long-range weapon, so the first few rows of the Runing Army's phalanx suddenly fell a large piece.

"Kill!" Taking advantage of the chaos of the Runing army, the peasant army, which had thrown javelins and hand axes, pounced again.

But these peasant soldiers didn't know that they were also facing veterans of the Runing Army. Seeing the first few rows fall to the ground, the axe-gunners in the back rows immediately lowered their axe guns. Point the tip of your gun straight ahead. Quickly formed a gun forest again.

And this time, the peasant soldiers faced the gun forest, and they also changed their tactics. Many people fell to the ground to avoid the guns and rolled forward, just to get close to the front platoon of the Runing army.

But the soldiers of the peasant army soon found that this was also a futile exercise. Because the musketeers of the Runing Army have a mission in addition to firing guns. That is as a hand-to-hand combat class with a short weapon.

Seeing that there were more and more enemies crawling forward under the spears, some of the musketeers handed over the muskets to the rear team, drew their swords, and entered the bottom of the spears.

"Raise the spear! Don't look down! There are their own brothers protecting them. Your enemies are on the front lines. In between the battles, the front officers of the Runing Army were still shouting loudly, just to keep their subordinates from being distracted.

Indeed, although they are all veterans and have basically participated in battles, it is a person who will be nervous when he sees the enemy crawling quickly on the ground with a knife, and knows that the spear in his hand cannot be stabbed, and even the companions behind him cannot be stabbed!

It is precisely because of the excellent psychological quality of the soldiers of the regiment and the long-term formation of the habit of strict discipline that the movements of these soldiers have not been deformed. However, some of the soldiers had no longer taken care of their subordinates, and they waited for the peasant army to climb in front of them, raise their knives and .......

"Ahh Yes! ......" There were constant screams from under the gun, but most of them were from the peasant army.

They are all fighting with cats on their waists, and their movements are not used to it, so the comparison is flexibility, so the firecrackers who have been trained in cat-waist combat have the upper hand. In addition, those axe gunners are not dead, they see the peasant army crawling over, and it is often the axe xiangxia that smashes, which is definitely a smash.

But in this way, the peasant army gradually regained its disadvantage. Because of the large number of peasant troops, many people began to circle to both sides of the phalanx and wanted to attack the flank of the Runing army.

But none of the peasant armies that were fighting noticed that the two groups of cavalry at the rear of the Runing army had already mounted their horses and began to trot in preparation for the charge.

"Cavalry, hurry up!"

"Hurry up and withdraw!"

……

The leaders around Yang Chengzu couldn't help but issue some contradictory orders. But Yang Chengzu closed his eyes, and now it's too late to do anything. Although the cavalry of the peasant army was also protecting close to the battlefield, there were so many peasant soldiers in front of him that the speed of his cavalry would definitely not be able to run.

This counter-charge of the cavalry of the Runing Army was quite powerful, and it crushed the fighting troops of the peasant army at once. Some of the soldiers of the peasant army could no longer withstand this pressure, and they began to turn around and flee towards their own team, but Yang Chengzu immediately ordered the supervising team: no one is allowed to retreat.

This is not that Yang Chengzu is ruthless, for the loss of these veterans, Yang Chengzu and these leaders are also bleeding in their hearts, but he wants to let those veterans block the cavalry of the Runing Army, buy some time, and let the cavalry of the peasant army prepare.

Seeing that the battle situation in front was unfavorable, Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai, who were behind, had already arranged for several teams of cavalry to come forward, plus Yang Chengzu originally commanded, at this time there were more than 3,000 cavalry of the peasant army.

Seeing that the cavalry of the peasant army had already advanced to the front, the cavalry of the Runing army no longer pursued and killed. They retreated to their phalanx and began a cavalry formation.

"Hurry up and get the whole team!" Li Sanhe yelled at the commander of the infantry regiment, "Didn't the weishenme fire gun shoot just now?" ”

In fact, some of the gunners of the Runing Army who had retreated to the phalanx just now had already loaded some guns, but they had not received orders, so they did not dare to scatter.

The commander of the infantry regiment moved his lips a few times, wanting to explain a few words to Li Sanhe. But thinking that Li Sanhe was on fire, he gave a military salute to Li Sanhe, and then hurriedly commanded the formation again.

"How? Will it be possible to defeat the army of thieves? Li Sanhe asked the commander of the cavalry regiment again.

The commander of the cavalry regiment was very familiar with Li Sanhe, he smiled heartlessly and said, "Bring strength!" Finally, there's a decent battle to be fought. ”

In ancient warfare, it was the cavalry that could deal with the cavalry. However, there were two different kinds of battles between the cavalry:

One is subsidiary. For example: reconnaissance, capture, etc. This kind of battle is more based on the combat skills of the cavalry, so the nomads of the steppe have an advantage in this kind of battle. Of course, when the two armies face each other, the guerrilla of the cavalry of the two sides is also of this type. Therefore, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the commanders of the two armies are fighting at night, and these battles are all auxiliary in nature, and they actually have no influence on the outcome of the battle.

But is it a battle between the main generals who preach this kind of heroism during the Three Kingdoms period? That can only ask Luo Guanzhong.

There is also a regular cavalry group battle, that is, to study the formation of the cavalry on both sides. In this kind of battle, individual martial arts are ignored, it depends on which of the two sides is brave? Whose formation is not scattered?

Coincidentally, the horns of the two sides of the attack were sounded, the same line formation, the same trot of horses, and the same accelerated charge, and the cavalry of both sides began to hedge with their spears in hand.

But although they were hedging, the cavalry of the peasant army was also hairy, because the cavalry of the official army in front of them was too elite. It was a phalanx of cavalry in the first few rows with spears in hand, men in iron armor, and horses in horse armor. If it was just that, it would be forgotten, the array of these cavalry of the Runing Army was extremely neat, almost like the appearance of the infantry phalanx marching just now.

This expert stretched out his hand to know if there was one. This battle-hardened person can see at a glance the difference between strong and weak soldiers and horses, and these cavalry who appear in front of him are definitely the elite of the elite.

Due to strict training, the cavalry formation of the Runing army was still quite close, leaving no gaps at all. And the cavalry formation of the peasant army was much different. There was a large gap between their cavalry, and there was always room to pull out their horses and escape.

Therefore, as soon as they met, the shouting and screaming sounded almost simultaneously, and the cavalry of the peasant army wearing cotton armor and chain mail could not resist the thorns in the front of the spear. What is even more tragic is that the cavalry spears of the Runing army are specially made to be very long, and the weapons of the peasant cavalry cannot even touch each other. Therefore, the front row of cavalry of the peasant army was stabbed directly from the horse by the opponent with a riding spear, so that the defeated hedge, the cavalry in the back row had to subconsciously brake the horses.

But it's already running, so how can you stop the horses? But this subconscious reining action makes the already somewhat loose formation even more unbearable.

Although the cavalry charge of the Runing Army was slightly hindered, they still rushed in. So the cavalry of the peasant army wanted to escape, although the cavalry of the peasant army were the most elite veterans, and the equipment and combat skills were also the best, but their desire to escape was also the strongest, and no one was willing to sacrifice their lives for a hopeless battle, not even their own horses were not willing to be damaged.

Therefore, when the cavalry of the Runing army threw away the cavalry spears that pierced the enemy, they drew their large axes and long knives hanging from the saddles, kicked and struck the horses in the belly, causing the horses to rush forward, and with the power of their horses, they slashed vigorously. Suddenly, there was a piece of severed limbs and stumps, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. So at this moment, the cavalry of the peasant army collapsed. (To be continued......)
