Chapter 163: A battle without much suspense
The official army marched rapidly, and at a distance of about 500 meters from Wang's army, stopped, began to reorganize the army, and began to organize the whole army in a chaotic manner, under the shouting of the general flag of each hundred households, and began to form a whole team, not to mention lining up in a neat queue, at least each hundred households should gather their own people together.
The cavalry of 200 men roamed around, carefully guarded to prevent the enemy from the opposite side from attacking while they were in formation.
Compared with the chaotic officers and soldiers, Wang Jiajun's side is very neat, with the infantry array in front, five tractors lined up behind the infantry array, and Wang Zhi standing on the tractor in the middle.
Seeing that the other party was reorganizing the army, Wang Zhi naturally would not honestly wait for the other party to finish the army before starting to attack, and directly ordered: "Attack." ”
Wang Zhi ordered, Wang Jiajun immediately raised the steel spear in his hand, took neat steps, and walked towards the officers and soldiers opposite him with high spirits.
Seeing that the Wang army launched an attack, the cavalry of the official army, which had been guarding against them, immediately rushed towards it, and the two hundred cavalry ran together, the sound was like a landslide, and the power was incomparably greater, Wu Tongzhi and others behind the official army seemed to have seen the scene of the group of rogues being scattered by the cavalry and fleeing in all directions.
In the face of the oncoming cavalry, the soldiers of the Wang family army all showed nervous expressions, and they were under great psychological pressure at this time.
Many modern people may have seen a single horse running, so they can't understand the deterrent effect of two hundred cavalry charging at the same time, but you can imagine what it would be like for two hundred motorcycles to rush towards you at once.
Two hundred cavalry is no different from two hundred motorcycles, so you can imagine how much pressure the soldiers of the Wang family army are advancing at this time.
The Wang army was advancing, and the official cavalry was also advancing, and soon, the two were only more than 100 meters apart, and the Wang army stopped.
"Diagonal spear, formation."
A voice sounded from the array, and all the soldiers changed formations, immediately raising their spears flat. Formed an infantry phalanx that Wang Zhi, a half-man had taught them to deal with cavalry shocks.
Because they believed in the advanced tactics of General Wang Zhi, who had great powers, they formed this phalanx in the face of the cavalry charge.
But in reality, with the armor on them and the spears on them. If you are not frightened, you will definitely be able to withstand the impact of these two hundred light cavalry, but the price paid is definitely not small.
It was impossible for Wang Zhi to accept this kind of price if he treated his less than 1,000 troops as a baby, so he let Lilia take action.
A distance of a hundred meters, for a charging cavalry. It only takes about seven or eight seconds, which can be said to be fleeting, and it also takes a few seconds for the Wang family army to form a formation, so when they raised their spears, the soldiers in the front row were waiting for the cavalry to attack with nervous faces and swallowing saliva.
But the next scene made both sides drop their jaws in shock, only to see that when the official cavalry rushed to a distance of about thirty meters from the Wang family's military array, they suddenly separated and rushed to both sides, directly avoiding the Wang family's military formation.
Just when Wang Jiajun thought that the official cavalry was going to attack their wings, Wang Zhi's voice came from behind him: "These cavalry have been controlled by me. You don't have to worry about them, just move on. ”
Hearing this, the veterans who came from the No. 9 world with Wang Zhi remembered the blonde girl's means of controlling people's hearts by the teacher's side, and suddenly calmed down, and a smile appeared on their faces, with such backing, what are we afraid of? The captains immediately passed the order to their soldiers and continued to advance.
At this time, Wu Tongzhi and others, who were sweeping the rear of the official army, also discovered the abnormality of the cavalry. Immediately let one of his heralds ride forward to interrogate, but as soon as the herald approached the cavalry that had stopped, he was immediately controlled by Lilia and did not move.
Seeing this happens. A thousand households guessed and said: "Could it be that someone in the Liukou will make a demon law and control Zhao Baihu and others?" ”
Zhao Baihu was the leader of the cavalry.
Hearing this, the rest of the people shuddered, the theory of ghosts and gods in this era is very marketable, and at present, only this statement can explain this strange thing.
"As a military general, you are full of evil spirits. Are you still afraid of ghosts and gods, the rogues are about to be killed, let your family go to meet the thief army. ”
The cavalry troops that relied on the killer weapon suddenly became uncontrollable, Wu Tongzhi was very annoyed, but now there is no time to think about what is going on, the thief army is about to kill, and these people are not allowed to go up with elite soldiers, do you still expect those miscellaneous soldiers from the guard to be able to block the thief army with strong guns and guns, once they are the main body of the army are killed and retreated, they will have no power to return to the sky.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the military system was corrupted, and it became the norm for generals at all levels to eat empty salaries, drink soldiers' blood, and encroach on the fields of the guards, and ordinary soldiers were difficult to maintain even food and clothing, so naturally they would not have any combat effectiveness, but the army was going to fight, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, generals at all levels took out a part of the silver money from the embezzled military salaries, and selected the strong ones in the army as private soldiers, which was the so-called family members.
These family members, because they are the private soldiers of the generals, so the generals are willing to spend money and give them the treatment of the regular army, that is, full military salary, full pension, sophisticated weapons, and sufficient training, so these family members have the combat effectiveness of the regular army on paper, and have always been the backbone of the army.
Although the family Ding sounds very powerful, at most it is only the level that the regular army should have, and it is not a good general, and the Wang Family Army under Wang Zhi was trained according to the regular army from the beginning, and compared with the family members of the official army generals, only the combat experience is still inferior, and the others are stronger than these family members in terms of physique and equipment, not to mention that the total number of family members of all the generals in the official army is less than three hundred, and they are still fighting separately.
Therefore, whether it is combat effectiveness or strength, the Wang army has an advantage, in the early days of the battle between the two sides, the official army can still contain the Wang army with a huge number of miscellaneous soldiers, and the two sides are inseparable, but as time goes by, the Wang army with a strong spear has caused great casualties to the official army, and the official army is gradually killed by the Wang army, and some people began to flee.
"Run, I don't want to die!"
The morale of the officers and troops was not high, but once someone began to flee, it immediately triggered a chain reaction, leading to a great rout of the whole army.
The miscellaneous soldiers have all fled, even if the family members still have the heart to fight again, without the cover of the miscellaneous soldiers, they have no strength to fight anymore, so they can only flee with the rout.
Wu Tongzhi and others in the rear, although they shouted and tried to stop those miscellaneous soldiers from escaping, but they had sent their subordinates to the front, and they were weak and could not stop the fleeing miscellaneous soldiers, and there was an unlucky Qianhu who was squeezed off the horse by the miscellaneous soldiers, and when the two pro-soldiers next to him pulled him up, he had been trampled to death.
With this experience, Wu Tongzhi and the others, who spared their lives, did not dare to stop the rout anymore, and when the surviving family members under their command regathered to their side, in the face of the rear-end Wang family's army, they had no time to collect the rout, so they could only flee with the rout.
"It took more than a thousand deaths to be defeated, and the combat effectiveness of this army is higher than imagined!"
Looking at the dead bodies on the battlefield, Wang Zhi sighed for a moment, and then ordered the five tractors under him: "Go and pursue the router." (To be continued.) )
