Chapter 1330: Outnumbered after all
What kind of soldiers and horses are these, when did the Ming Kingdom have such an elite, shocked, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers of the front team found another important thing, the spear in their hands is shorter than the spear in the hands of the opposite group of people who don't care about life and death, although it is not short, it is two feet or less, but this means that their spear cannot stab the other party, and the other party can assassinate themselves.
The front team of Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses began to have some commotion, and the leaders everywhere shouted angrily, and even directly hit the unstable subordinates with the back of their knives, but they were also frightened, these Xiangyong of the Ming Kingdom on the other side were crazy, and they didn't have any fear, didn't they know to stop!
There are still more than ten steps away, there are still a few steps away, the Jianzhou Jurchen front team began to mess up, some people were screaming, some people wanted to turn around and escape, but the generals were not soft, but now they used the blade, and used the slashing to force the team not to collapse, the spears and halberds of the Xuzhou soldiers on the opposite side were stable and flat, and the spears on the Jurchen side were trembling and moving.
Bumped in, before colliding, some of the soldiers of the Jianzhou Jurchen front team desperately dodged, and some wanted to die together, and stabbed the spear in their hands desperately forward, but at this time they were in a hurry, how could they stab, the tip of the spear cut on the breastplate of the soldiers of the Zhao family, and the long soldiers of the Zhao family army penetrated the body of the enemy in front of them, piercing, withdrawing, spraying blood, falling backwards, and then the second row in a panic.
The two companies of the sergeant battalion of the Zhao family army are like two iron nails, directly nailed into the formation of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but this is the soldiers and horses of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the fierce wildness raised by the white mountains and black waters is still there, some people can't stand it, and some people are desperately trying to catch up, not to mention, the formation of the Jianzhou Jurchens is wider than the companies of the Zhao family, and when they rush to the third row, the momentum has been told, although the formation of the Jianzhou Jurchens brigade has been beaten into a recess, but it has not collapsed, and the soldiers of the Zhao family army are still falling, although the armor is strong, but after all, it's not a full-body covering, and at such a close distance, it will still be killed.
The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers swung their swords and pounced, the front was assassinated, the back advanced to the front, and the sharp blade was pierced along the gap in the armor, and then was assassinated by another spear, the thickness and shelter of the company team are really limited, and the protection is not so comprehensive, not to mention that there is no shield of the fire, if it is a thief of the Ming army, it will face collapse at this time, but a Niu Lu of the Jianzhou Jurchen was defeated, and other Niu Lu still rushed up, surrounded layer by layer.
Zhao Song's hands holding the halberd were already a little slippery, stabbing, chopping, hammering, blood flowed down the wooden pole of the halberd, and in front of him had been replaced by a skilled Jurchen soldier, holding a spear and blocking him with the thorn, but this person did not support it for long, and was soon stabbed by the spear of the soldier next to Zhao Song, but the soldier next to Zhao Song was also shot in the cheek by a feather arrow and fell directly to the ground.
From the beginning of rushing to the third row, Zhao Song did not take a step forward, just moved in place to dodge, the soldiers around him kept falling, the ones behind him have been substituted, and the companies following behind have also participated in the battle, in such a fierce battle, Zhao Song has no time to be distracted, but he noticed that he has eliminated the other, in this fight, now he has begun to have an exchange, and if he continues to fight like this, his companies will be eaten by all the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses with superior strength, and he should evacuate now, but now there is no way to leave, he has been surrounded by regiments.
At this time, Zhao Song's ears sounded the roar of the Jurchen words, but he couldn't care so much at this time, how to rush out, how to bring the team back to the fortress, this is the most important, the halberd in his hand stabbed forward, but was resisted by the other party with a shield, and there were even enemies who wanted to cut off the halberd in the chaos.
The sound of fire guns sounded on the flanks, but this time it was not a salvo, but divided into three waves of shooting, the current Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers have realized the power of this fire gun, but in this narrow and crowded battlefield, people are standing too densely, and it is difficult to dodge and escape, the three-stage shooting of this fire gun has opened a hole in the flank, and after opening this opening, a company of Zhao Jiajun spear soldiers shouted and rushed down.
"Yingzheng, let's withdraw!" Divided into two teams to meet the enemy, now the flank company and the firecracker soldiers came to the rescue, no matter how unwilling Zhao Song was, he also knew that this was a good opportunity to retreat, and it was a fleeting opportunity.
"Retreat, go back to the fortress, go back to the fortress!" Zhao Song shouted, and the soldiers around him also roared, taking advantage of the fire shots and flank charges, Zhao Song led the people to run backwards.
The Jurchen soldiers and horses who finally surrounded them were naturally unwilling, and they were just about to gather over, and there was a fire gun, hearing this sound, the pursuers subconsciously slowed down their pace to dodge, the firearms of the Xuzhou soldiers and horses were too sharp, and being hit was like being nailed into the body by an iron chisel, as long as it hit the torso, it was certain death.
The forces deployed by the Jianzhou Jurchens on the flanks were very limited, but the response of the Phi Dao Sergeant Battalion on the flanks was not ambiguous, and it was easy to break through and then kill them.
The various Niu Lu banner soldiers were instantly frightened, but Zhao Song rushed out with people, and the leaders who supervised the battle in the back were furious, and military orders came to the front one after another, and the Xuzhou team must be annihilated, and they must not be allowed to leave.
Through the careful eyeliner sent before, the Jianzhou Jurchens are very clear about the various forces on Phi Island, although the hundreds of people in the Xuzhou Commercial Bank make them feel strange, but they don't pay much attention to it, with the courage and iron blood of the Eight Banners men, these hundreds of Ming country regimental training is nothing, even if there is the courage of the Ming official army, it is only a few hundred, and the conquest of Phi Island, the Jianzhou Jurchen has invested thousands here.
Who would have thought that these hundreds of people would leave the fortress without fear of life and death to block the attack, who would have thought that these hundreds of people would dare to rush to the Jurchen army array, and who would have thought that the fight would be equal or even slightly superior, no one would have thought of it.
Since the Jianzhou Jurchens invaded the Ming Dynasty, in addition to attacking the city, He had encountered such a strong enemy, He had such heavy casualties, spent so much effort, arranged suspicious soldiers, and landed from the east coast of Phi Island, just to completely annihilate the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, but now everyone doesn't care so much, just thinking about killing the hateful Xuzhou soldiers and horses in front of them.
Zhao Song's retreat was not to turn around and run, selling their unprotected backs to the enemy, the company that rushed down from the flank was still in formation, but after retreating more than ten steps, it was standing still, lined up in a horizontal line of twenty-five horizontal and four vertical, and the spear pointed forward.
Since you don't run, then wait to be killed, the Eight Banners soldiers who reacted roared and rushed up, some people shot arrows with bows, some people used shields to break spears, and more people surrounded from the flanks, Jianzhou Jurchen has summed up the experience from the battle just now, this strange Xuzhou soldiers and horses formation is the most difficult to entangle is the front, but to the side there is a chance, as long as it is wrapped, then it can be eaten.
As soon as he arrived at the flank, before he could launch an attack, the heart-pounding fire guns started again, and in the spear formation of 100 people, there were more than 100 fire guns.
By this time, there was no longer any need to use the phalanx as a shield to rely on, and the ring fired, the rear row directly crowded to the front, and the flanks directly rushed to the flank.
The gunpowder was activated, and the slag of Mars burst into the faces of the spear soldiers on both sides, and the hot muscles twitched, some blistered, and some were directly charred, but no one cared about this, and desperately stabbed the spear forward.
There was another pause in front of the array, and there was space again, and the soldiers of the Zhao family army turned around and ran without hesitation, and rushed up behind them with a roar and shouting.
Zhao Song did not retreat regardless of the obstruction of the company behind him, the front blocked for a moment and ran back, they lined up in the same horizontal formation at a distance of dozens of steps away to the enemy, after the firecracker soldiers ran to this array, they began to load ammunition without pause, ready to shoot, and the company that received the enemy in front fled to the rear, lined up in a horizontal formation at a distance of dozens of steps to meet the enemy, and seized the time to breathe and rest.
Since the Zhao Jiajun can make their own firearms, the main lethal output of the enemy has changed from spears to firearms, and this concept has also been passed down from top to bottom, as long as the number of firearms that can fire is enough, the battle is to use spears to provide shelter and support for firearms to ensure that firearms can continue to fire.
In such a battle situation, with a few outnumbered people, the only thing that can pose a threat to the Jianzhou Jurchen is the fire gun, and it is necessary to ensure as much as possible that retreat is not to give up the battle and run all the way, so that it will still be caught up by the enemy, gather and annihilate, only by constantly blocking, constantly killing, this can calmly retreat.
Sure enough, the first retreat was a wild pursuit, when they caught up with the horizontal formation where Zhao Song was standing, the Jurchen soldiers hesitated, the horizontal formation that stood with the spear forward was difficult to break down, and within a hundred steps were covered by firearms, not afraid of death is not regardless of life and death, if you just rush up to die, no one will be willing.
But when the third time the horizontal formation was arranged, the battle still happened, but this time the Jianzhou Jurchens did not pounce on the front regardless of it, nor did they go around the flanks to outflank, but stacked their shields and approached forward, but the shields could not prevent the lead bullets of the firearms, and after dropping more than a dozen corpses, the Jianzhou Jurchens did not move forward, but slowly retreated, and the two sides opened a distance of hundreds of paces, their real priority was to ensure the landing of the army, and the Jianzhou Jurchens realized one thing, such a battle would delay their actions, and they would shed blood and death, But it doesn't have much impact on the big picture.
Despite this, the Jianzhou Jurchens still maintained a team of thousands of people to keep an eye on this side, for fear that this strange team would rush over like this again.
The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses who landed on the east bank of Phi Island pulled more and more, even if the fierce battle here did not affect the non-stop disembarkation and landing, each Niu Lu gathered into a large team according to their belonging, and then began to march towards the north shore, they were obviously the first time to come here, but they were familiar with the way, and even in the mountains and forests, there were people dressed as soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town, and they marched towards the north shore with the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses.
