"Reject the horse!" When the order of the brigade was issued, few people could hear it clearly, but the drummers and trumpeters conveyed it in high-pitched voices, and the flags and trumpeters waved, and everyone could see clearly.

If the falcon was still soaring in the air, you would see the spear phalanx below blooming like flowers in an instant, but instead of petals, the spears that shimmered with cold light were unfolded.

The first row of soldiers lunged forward, holding their spears in one hand, the tip of the spear diagonally forward, the end of the spear stuck in the earth, and the next few rows of spears were layered on top of each other, making the whole phalanx look like a hedgehog, and the musketeers were reloading ammunition in the gap between the phalanx, the front of which was blocked by the non-commissioned officers and archers with halberds.

"From now on, all those who wield spears will use firearms!" Chen Sheng, who was holding a halberd, muttered, he was guarded by the sergeants with spears, at this time Chen Sheng's attention was not on the enemy in front of him, he scanned the movements of the surrounding regiments as much as possible, so as to react at any time, Chen Sheng was also more concerned about whether the second brigade in front could withstand it, the first brigade had fought a lot of tough battles over the years, and the second brigade had been cat.

In the array of the second brigade, everyone from the regiment to the company to the family below, everyone was yelling and shouting.

"Stand still, the spear does not move, the phalanx is like a mountain!"

"Let them see the Second Brigade!"

"Let them see the courage of the Qingxu boy!"

"Come on! Crash into it! ”

Some people are cheering, some people are urging, some people are just shouting wildly, on the one hand to vent their nervousness, on the other hand to vent their excitement, the second brigade has been holding back for too long, training patrols in the Huai'an North District all day, but there is no one to engage in battle, I heard that the first brigade is attacking the city, I heard that the third brigade is attacking like the wind, and I heard that the pro-guard brigade is invincible, but the second brigade has nothing to say, and now it's time to watch it.

It was not only the soldiers of the Zhao family army who were shouting wildly, but also the cavalry of the official army who were shouting, are these thieves in front of them crazy? Are these thieves in front of you falling for the demon law? When the cavalry and horse team killed in front of them, why didn't they retreat, how did they not flee in confusion, the official cavalry with bows and arrows had already shot arrows forward, and the horseback bumps were of course not accurate, but there were so many heads in front of them, and it was difficult for the arrows to shoot past, but these anti-thieves had iron helmets and iron armor, and it was good to shoot bows and arrows when they had bows and arrows, plus they were dialed with spears, and more than a thousand spears trembled, and the bows and arrows were directly knocked crooked.

Maybe it's just an illusion in front of you, a little further, the thief army can't support it, but there is nothing to believe in this, the cavalry that rushed too hard has crashed over, the phalanx of Xuzhou soldiers and horses does not move, it never moves, the horses collide, the spear pierces into the body of the horse, the spear shaft bends and breaks, and the cavalry screams and is pierced by the spear, and the Xuzhou soldiers are hit upside down by the momentum of the spear shaft break, but the phalanx still does not move!

The cavalry of the official army behind is already turning the horses and beginning to bypass the phalanx, when the initial collision is over, the soldiers of the Zhao family army can fire freely, in the "city" composed of spears, there is no need to worry about the enemy's impact approaching, you can calmly load ammunition, calmly open fire, the outside is constantly passing through, selling the side to your own official cavalry, as long as you fire, as long as you shoot arrows, it is impossible not to hit!

The cavalry of the official army kept screaming and falling off their horses, what was more troublesome for them was that the phalanx of the Zhao family army was not completely rectangular, and there were two salients on his two wings, the first regiment of the pro-guard brigade and the Suzhou regiment, this was the real disaster, the cavalry finally bypassed the front of the large phalanx, and was stopped by the small phalanx on both wings, although it could still be bypassed, but the speed could only be reduced.

The cavalry who slowed down were crowded and piled up, shouting and scolding each other, and the Zhao family's military array was not only killed by firearms and bows and arrows, but even brave non-commissioned officers with halberds pounced out, directly chopping the official cavalry off their horses and slashing them!

This process did not last long, after all, the mobility of the cavalry was much higher than that of the foot soldiers, and the official cavalry finally stayed away from the flesh and blood mill of the Zhao family's military array, some scattered and fled, some turned around and returned to the team, and some of the mounts were killed and wounded, so they could only go down and surrender, and by this time, the western army of the official army had not yet rushed over, and after seeing the rout on this side, they had slowed down.

The guards on horseback or on foot kept passing on the latest battle situation to Zhao Jin, and to their surprise, Zhao Jin never had any excitement or joy on his face, and he was always calm as usual.

When the cavalry of the officers and soldiers who rushed forward broke up, Zhao Jin just shook his head and said to himself: "The actual combat training can only go so far. ”

After saying this, Zhao Jin raised his voice and ordered: "The first regiment of mounted sergeants will join forces with all mounted sergeant companies to block the enemy's western army, the artillery regiment will have light artillery under three pounds to respond to the left flank, and the rest of the heavy artillery will bombard the gate of Jinghai County in front of you, the first brigade, the second brigade, the personal guard brigade and the Suzhou regiment will be ready to attack, kill the enemy first, and do not delay or hesitate!" ”

The order was quickly passed on by the horse guards, and the two brigades in the front began to get out of the way of the middle road, and the artillery regiment, which had been on standby for a long time, began to drive the cattle forward and drag the artillery, one heavy gun after another moved forward, the cattle and horses were already sweating, and the gunners and the teaching brigade students were shouting trumpets to push the guns.

According to Zhao Jiajun's discipline, when on the battlefield, the artillery position is located in the front of the right flank of the army, but in the current battlefield situation, now it is to push the artillery forward as much as possible, in order to shoot as conveniently as possible.

If it was the battle with the official army in the past, after blocking the impact of the official cavalry, you have to beware of the oppression of the opponent's foot soldiers, but now you don't have to worry about so much, when the official cavalry is defeated, the overall situation will be completely decided, as for the oppression of the opponent's infantry brigade, Zhao Jiajun did not look at it at all, the various fire gun companies are lining up on both sides of the artillery array to prepare, and a swarm of more than a dozen fire guns has also been pulled up, if the official army foot soldiers dare to come up, the casualties will be worse than the cavalry.

Zhao Jin's judgment was not wrong, when the official cavalry dispersed, looking at the still regular official army formation, it immediately became chaotic, looking at the past from a distance of nearly a thousand steps, he could only see the banner moving and swinging, it should be gathering the soldiers and horses to suppress the chaos.

This is the added benefit of starting to fire artillery to destroy the official artillery team, it is precisely because of the artillery bombardment that the distance between each other is more than a thousand steps, so that when the Zhao Jiajun moves here, the other party has no way to deal with it in time, and the official army did not take the lead at the beginning, although it seems to overwhelm the Zhao Jiajun in momentum, but it is just a look......

The 18-pounder cannon has an effective firing range of 1,500 paces in direct fire, and it can reach 3,000 paces or even farther after the elevation angle is raised, the 16-pounder cannon has a limited range of 1,200 paces in direct fire, and 2,500 paces or even farther after the elevation angle is raised, and the six 18-pounder guns and 10 16-pounder guns have all been concentrated in front of the Zhao Jiajun array, facing the south gate of Jinghai County.

The left flank of the Zhao Jiajun brigade first sounded the sound of cannons, and the three-pounder cannon fired first, and the cavalry of the Western Army, which was already half-hearted, refused to move forward, and unlike the frontal resistance of the Zhao Jiajun, the cavalry piled up here was no less than the official army, and the brigade had already collapsed.

When the thunder of the earth shook the mountains, the cavalry of the Western Army of the official army turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

The heavy artillery roared, everyone around the Zhao Jiajun artillery array was covering their ears, and then everyone looked ahead with wide eyes, the distance of nearly a thousand steps was too far, there was no way to make too accurate shots, but the general area was enough, there was no too precise indication for this shelling, as long as the shells were hit at the city tower, in this plain area, the city gate tower was a more conspicuous target.

"The generals have gathered their troops, the thieves have not yet attacked, let's not mess with ourselves!"

"Steady, steady, otherwise you won't even be able to go back to the city, pass my order, and retreat on your own to kill those who move!"

Zhang Jixian, the chief general of the official army, never imagined that the cavalry would retreat like this, and he couldn't imagine that the cavalry would not be able to break the opponent's not very solid formation, and they all said that the real elite infantry formation was really stable as a mountain, and the cavalry had no way to shake it, the main general Zhang Jixian had heard this allusion, but he didn't think it was true, the elite of the Ming Dynasty were all cavalry, and the grassland Mongolia was also known as the unparalleled cavalry, and it was said that the cavalry of the Jianzhou Jurchens was also numerous, what was the use of the foot soldiers?

But his own thousands of cavalry roared and rushed out, but they were smashed on the solid array of thieves in Xuzhou, and then they were beaten and retreated, Zhang Jixian even thought that he was wrong, but now is not the time to care about this, Zhang Jixian knew that the cavalry retreated, this battle was already lost, although the cavalry only accounted for one-tenth of the number, but the cavalry retreat has already broken the muscles and bones, the foot soldiers in each town are the military spirit floating, if you want to drive them forward, I am afraid that the internal strife will be fired, and the hall will be dispersed directly here.

For today's plan, it is necessary to gather the strength first, and then withdraw to the city, no matter how fierce and elite the thieves are, there is no way to help this towering and strong city, they delay one more day near this Shuntianfu, the soldiers and horses of the king of the world gather, the thief army is bound to be defeated, thinking of the gathering of the soldiers and horses of the king of the world, the face of the main general Zhang Jixian is dark, and the fate of his own family can be imagined.

But at this time, I can't think about it so much, the most important thing is to put away the soldiers and horses, if you even lose these forces in your hands, then everything is really over, and you can't ask for a guilty and meritorious end

The main general Zhang Jixian and the chaotic officers and soldiers all heard the sound of cannons that sounded like thunder, and also heard the whistling sound that slid overhead, they knew what the artillery looked like, and they also heard the sound of the artillery, but they didn't know that the artillery would have such a movement and trajectory, everyone was stunned and subconsciously turned back.
