Chapter 572: Which Is Stronger And Which Is Weak!

Almost in the blink of an eye, at least a few soldiers were killed by Cheng Yan.

Dozens of soldiers who kept up with Cheng Yan's speed actually reported that the speed was only slightly slower than Cheng Yanlai, but it was the cruel roar that greeted them.

The body that rushed forward was as if it had been hit hard by a heavy object, and its body staggered and flew out involuntarily.

Originally, there were dozens of people, but with the roar of this sound, they were blown away on the spot.

Only two or three of them looked at the soldiers in front of them with apprehension, and in the stunned gaze of these soldiers, the weapons in their hands stabbed into the opponent's body fiercely.

The fire gun itself has a very high chance of dumb fire, and I never thought that these soldiers would survive by the accident of the fire gun.

Seeing this, Cheng Yan's eyes were red, and his mouth let out a long howl like a wounded beast: "Long live Daming!" ”

With Cheng Yan's long roar, he saw that Cheng Yan's figure had submerged into the phalanx, and suddenly saw a chaos in the corner of the phalanx.

After all, when these soldiers were attacked closely, many soldiers didn't even react, and even if they did, it was a little difficult to protect themselves or even resist with the weapons in their hands.

The archer with a longbow can't use the longbow at close range, and as for the firecracker, in the face of that splash of blood, it takes time to calm down and aim and then light the fire rope, and before he can lock the figure, he was killed by Cheng Yan to the front.

With a snort, a bang was heard, and then the figure that was wantonly killing in the crowd stiffened suddenly, and then a roar came, and blood flowers bloomed on Cheng Yan's body.

I saw a Westerner dressed as an officer holding a short-handled musket, and there was a smoke of gunpowder, and it was obvious that Cheng Yan had died in the hands of the other party.

The two or three soldiers who rushed into battle with Cheng Yan and survived were also killed on the spot one by one at this time, and there was no standing figure in front of the phalanx except for a corpse.

The military formation is like a tight instrument, the phalanx is tight, stepping on the drum and moving forward, whether it is under the impact or suffering from Cheng Yan's charge, although it is said that some damage and chaos have been caused locally, but it is not disrupted compared to the whole, and it continues to move forward as normal.

Hundreds of soldiers in the distance were already distracted at this moment, and one by one they looked at the phalanx on the opposite side like monsters with fearful faces.

Woooo

There was a piercing and heart-pounding sound of breaking through the air, and then a black and oppressive arrow poured down like a torrential rain, and suddenly the screams were heard endlessly, and it was as if such an arrow had suddenly grown on the earth.

Most of the hundreds of soldiers scattered, and those who were nailed to the ground were unable to move, and could only watch as the phalanx on the opposite side slowly pressed over.

"Run!"

This is the case with the so-called collapse of the army's morale, and after two waves of arrows, hundreds of soldiers were nailed to the ground. The same is death, being hacked to death or stabbed to death with a spear on the battlefield, at least not as dazzling as being nailed to the ground alive as it is now, seeing his companions being nailed in front of him, unable to survive, unable to die, the piercing screams, the cry of pleading, the psychological pressure is much greater than that of a cold corpse.

Putting down the clairing mirror in his hand, Governor George at the rear of the phalanx said with a little disdain in his eyes: "The Ming army is nothing more than that. ”

"If the Scottish longbowmen are unable to defeat their opponents, then we had better withdraw as soon as possible."

With the sound of a strange drum beat, I saw that the phalanx changed, and suddenly I saw a group of soldiers rushing out with spears in their hands, shouting and rushing towards the scattered soldiers.

These scattered soldiers fled in all directions, and they didn't even have any weapons to resist in their hands, and the only advantage was that they fled frantically on two legs, and for a while those pursuers really couldn't catch up.

Tianjin Guard, as the garrison of Tianjin City, shoulders the safety of Tianjin City and commands all the military forces of Tianjin City.

Not long ago, waves of heralds had passed the news of the attack on the port to the garrison general Dong Ke.

Dong Ke, as a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years, has a lot of experience in dealing with the enemy. After receiving Cheng Yan's warning information, Dong Ke gathered the city's soldiers and horses as soon as possible and drove out as quickly as possible.

Tianjin City is the gateway to Gyeonggi, and at the same time, a large number of military resources continue to go to the sea through Tianjin City, supplying the hundreds of thousands of troops to the overseas Dongying, it is conceivable that Tianjin City is definitely one of the most valued cities above the Ming Dynasty.

A full 5,000 elite soldiers and horses were stationed in Tianjin City, except for the 1,000 soldiers and horses led by Cheng Yan to sit in the port, the remaining 4,000 elite 1,000 were stationed in the city, and the remaining 3,000 were stationed in the barracks outside the city.

Dong Ke, dressed in military uniform, rode on a horse, and behind him were 4,000 neatly draped 4,000 horses, accompanied by smoke and dust, heading straight for Qingtian Town.

Qingtian Town is almost located between Tianjin Port and Tianjin City, Dong Ke is not slow to mobilize troops and horses, but when he arrived at Qingtian Town, he saw a rout of soldiers from a distance.

Dozens of fleeing soldiers fled in panic, and behind them were a dozen tall alien race chasing these fleeing soldiers with fierce eyes.

Dong Ke's heart couldn't help but sink when he saw this scene, Cheng Yan can be described as strict in governing the army, if it weren't for the fact that the situation had been eroded to the point of no return, Cheng Yan would definitely not allow these soldiers to break up like this.

Since the soldiers were dispersed, it meant that Cheng Yan's soldiers and horses who had retreated to Qingtian Town could no longer play a role in resisting the alien army.

When the fleeing soldiers saw the army of reinforcements, one by one they were like drowning people seeing hope, and they all rushed to the army.

Seeing these people coming towards the army, Dong Ke couldn't help frowning, fortunately, these soldiers who fled were only a few dozen, and there were only a dozen enemies chasing behind him, which would not have any impact on the army.

If there are hundreds or thousands of soldiers who have fled and there are hundreds or thousands of enemies who are pursuing, then if these soldiers who have fled dare to attack the military formation, Dong Ke will definitely order these fleeing soldiers who dare to attack the military formation to be bombarded and killed in front of the military formation.

Even so, Dong Ke still sent his soldiers to shout at the dozens of soldiers who rushed up by instinct, and ordered these soldiers to flee to both sides of the military formation.

There were only dozens of soldiers, and the shouting from the opposite side suddenly woke up these people, and the most important thing was that the enemy who was originally chasing behind them stopped.

As soon as my heart was relieved, the common sense in the army that I had learned on weekdays suddenly came to my mind, and then I saw that the fire gun in the military formation on the opposite side was facing them.

Many soldiers couldn't help but have cold sweat oozing from their foreheads, and their footsteps stopped, almost reflexively, stunned for a moment, and then ran to the sides.

Anyone who dares to attack the military formation head-on, whether it is an enemy or an opponent, Dong Ke, as the head of an army, will definitely not hesitate in the slightest.

The fierce banner was waved in the wind, and at this time, several soldiers who had fled were brought to Dong Ke by their own soldiers, Dong Ke frowned and looked at these embarrassed soldiers and said, "What happened, why are you waiting so embarrassed." ”

As a soldier, he was frightened by the enemy, and he calmed down at this moment, thinking about it, everyone was ashamed, and he didn't even dare to look up at Dong Ke when he faced him.

Hearing Dong Ke's inquiry, a soldier said, "My lord, those ...... There is a kind of bow and arrow in the hands of those aliens who are extremely sharp, and Lord Cheng Yan led us to fight with the enemy was broken by those alien archers, General Cheng Yan died in the enemy's formation, and nearly a thousand brothers were either killed in battle or fled in defeat......"

Dong Ke's eyes narrowed, and he looked at a few people: "Sharp bow and arrow? ”

Several soldiers couldn't help but turn pale at the thought of the arrow that could almost nail people to the ground under that arrow, and subconsciously shuddered and said, "Yes, it is an extremely terrifying long arrow." ”

Without seeing it with his own eyes, Dong Ke naturally wouldn't believe all the words of these soldiers, but Dong Ke could be sure of one thing through the reactions of these soldiers, that is, the attack power of the enemy on the opposite side was definitely very strong, otherwise it would not be possible to scare these soldiers like this.

The 4,000-strong army was much worse than less than 1,000 men, and when the army arrived outside Qingtian Town, the allied forces of the two countries that had already entered Qingtian Town also discovered these thousands of reinforcements that had arrived.

When they saw the group of soldiers and soldiers appear outside Qingtian Town in a neat manner, both Governor George and Earl Harry showed solemn expressions.

Although it is said that they have a certain psychological preparation for the Ming Dynasty's brigade, after all, when they were developing abroad, thousands of people and horses even confronted tens of thousands of indigenous armies.

Now they have thousands of men, and even against those 10,000 or 20,000 natives, they can win in one battle.

In the eyes of George and Harry, although Da Ming is stronger than the natives they have seen, it is also limited in strength, especially the smooth start of the game makes George and Harry look down on Da Ming a few points in their hearts. Therefore, even if the soldiers and horses led by Dong Ke are solemn, they are elite at first glance, under the influence of preconceived ideas, George and Harry ignore these and do not take Dong Ke and others to heart at all.

One side does not take the opponent to heart, as for Dong Ke, he regards these centaurs on the other side as one of the strongest opponents he has encountered in his life.

"The army lined up, followed General Ben to meet the enemy, and avenged General Cheng Yan."

Cheng Yan, as the first general under Dong Ke, although he said that he was strict in governing the army, but he did not put up any shelf in front of the soldiers, so he was quite loved by the soldiers, and now when the soldiers learned of Cheng Yan's death, I don't know how many soldiers were stunned, and then there was a bit of anger in their eyes.

Tread, step, step.

When Dong Ke used Cheng Yan's death to incite thousands of soldiers to hate the enemy, and successfully raised the morale of the army, in Qingtian Town, a drum beat came, and a team of soldiers lined up in a neat military formation slowly pressed up.

When the allied forces of the two countries stepped on the drum and beat out of Qingtian Town, the defeated soldiers saw this similar scene, and seemed to think of the situation of Cheng Yan storming the army and ending up dead, several soldiers trembled one by one, and said in a trembling voice: "That's it, that's it......"

At this moment, Dong Ke squinted his eyes and stared solemnly at the neatly arranged enemies in front of him, which pressed up without much defense, which made Dong Ke a little puzzled.

"It doesn't seem to be difficult, as soon as the artillery fire goes down, the military formation looks scary, doesn't it collapse on the spot?"
