Huang Shi's hands clenched and loosened, and after performing this action several times in a row, he finally made up his mind: "This general has decided to make a decision, and He Guerrilla will lead the horse team, infantry team, artillery team and auxiliary troops to attack the grain depot. If Jiannu comes to attack me, then the guerrillas should not rush out, and must wait for me and Jiannu to start fighting before sending out infantry to help. Horse teams are not allowed to engage actively, and are used to pursue them. ”

......

Three hundred and twenty Ming pikemen set up a twenty-man wide phalanx, with two rows of forty musketeers in front, and the remaining forty were deployed in two teams on the two wings, while Huangshi stood in the middle of the four hundred officers and soldiers with a few personal guards, and built a low earth platform at his feet, standing on which he could have an unobstructed view of the surrounding scenery.

The 1,000 troops of Houjin have approached a lot, and they are only less than two miles away from the battle formation of the Ming army, and the main force of the Ming army has already driven three miles away and began to prepare for the siege of the city.

If the Houjin army detours, it still has a chance to attack the weak link of the Ming army's front team, but when it falls into a melee, it will be attacked by Huangshi from behind, and once the battle is lost, the wounded soldiers will not be able to run. If the Jin army of Huangshi Juehou was confident that they would defeat all the Ming army, then they would not have to use this kind of personal tactics, so they would definitely not go around the road and forcibly insert themselves into the middle of the Ming army, such a battlefield situation would be worse than a head-on battle.

The second general of the Zhang's second staff conspicuously fluttered in the middle of the military formation, and Huangshi waited for the Houjin army to bite the bait, but the Houjin army did not move after approaching within two miles, and seemed to be waiting for something.

This meeting reminded Huang Shi of the way from Guangning to Lushun, when he and Kong Youde saw a thousand people and felt that the sky was about to fall, but now it is also four against a thousand, but he has become so confident. Looking around at his subordinates at this time, all pikemen and musketeers, Huangshi had broken the tactical dogma of "soldiers and nobles" in the late Ming Dynasty. He also learned the lesson of the last battle after the palace, when there were spears, firearms, bows and arrows, rattan cards, knives and axes and other messy types among the four hundred soldiers, and only a thin layer of spears could not stop the cavalry assault at all.

A dull cannon sound came from afar, and the sound of the cannon announced that the main force of the Ming army had begun to attack the city, and the array of the Houjin army fluctuated and began to move forward slowly.

It is a good time to increase the time for our army to withdraw from the battle to reinforce - Huang Shi nodded secretly: "The whole army - prepare for battle." ”

The firecrackers set up the firecrackers one after another, and the Houjin army gradually formed a fan, which came from both wings, and slowly formed a three-bread clamp situation.

It's the siege of the city again-Huang Shi sneered in his heart, he estimated that the Houjin army would finally choose to dismount and fight. For the Ming army's strict spear infantry formation, whether it is historical records or Huangshi's personal experience, the Houjin army used brave infantry assault to break up the Ming army's formation, and then used cavalry to pursue fiercely. (For example, Ao Bai, who is inlaid with yellow flags, has historically had all his military exploits in dismounting and foot combat to destroy the Ming army's infantry battle array.) ）

As for Houjin's cavalry shooting, Huangshi is not worried, cavalry and infantry fire against each other is called looking for death, the target of the horse is much larger than the infantry, not to mention the range and shooting. As for the diffuse shooting of the cavalry, Huangshi has always thought that it is frightening, and it is completely up to fate to shoot arrows in the sky on the back of a bumpy galloping horse, and it is completely up to fate to fly in which direction, if you stop shooting arrows...... Huang Shi really hoped that the Houjin Army would do so. (In the battle of Hunhe in history, the 50,000 iron cavalry of the Houjin Dynasty were helpless against the 5,000 pikemen of the Ming army, and finally transferred artillery to bombard the battle array, and then relied on the sea of people to win.) ）

The Houjin army on the front began to add a few hundred meters away, and the Houjin army on both flanks also drew their long knives one after another, waiting for the opportunity to pursue and defeat the Ming army.

300 meters...... Plus,

200 meters...... Still adding!

100 meters...... Do you really want to gallop and kick the spears?

A sharp whistle sounded, and the first row of Ming army fired a volley, and several Houjin soldiers and horses immediately rolled into a ball, and the firecrackers immediately ran to both sides of the phalanx, and the Houjin cavalry was still surging.

Fifty meters......

Another whistle sounded, the second row of musketeers also shot, this time more than a dozen horses fell, and at the same time, the nine-foot spears of the Ming army erected were flattened one after another, stabbing out from the phalanx in all directions, and the guns were layer after layer, and the entire military array immediately turned into a hedgehog covered with steel and cold hair.

The first batch of nearly 100 Houjin cavalry who rushed into the formation did not crash into the Ming army's gun forest as Huang Shi imagined, but hurriedly separated and swept through the two wings, throwing some javelins and broadswords at the Ming army's battle array, and a few knights who ran past the gun forest shot arrows sideways. The Ming gunners on both flanks also opened fire one after another, and more than 20 people on each side were put down in the blink of an eye.

Huang Shi's gaze was involuntarily directed to the flank, watching the enemy soldiers in his eyes roll over and dismount one by one, his first thought was that this exchange was very advantageous, as long as he was not hit in the head, the lethality of the bow and arrow could not be compared with the firearm.

But this thought was just a moment, and his gaze turned back to the front in the flash of lightning, and behind the Houjin cavalry were some more than twenty Houjin warriors who were not very fast. They had already turned sideways on the horse's belly and rushed to within thirty meters of the Ming army's formation, and these Houjin warriors let go of their horses almost at the same time, jumped to the ground with dexterity, and rushed to the twenty meters in front of the formation with momentum.

This superb equestrian skill and nimble posture made Huang Shi suddenly think - is it a white armor soldier?

At the same time, a white-armored soldier cushioned his waist, as if by magic, he took one from the quiver on his back in his hand, and in Huangshi's astonished gaze, the soldier rolled and unloaded the last inertia, and knelt down on one knee steadily, the bow and arrow in his hand had already pointed to the battle formation of the Ming army.

This white-armored soldier held a standard infantry iron bow in his hand, and with a twist of his flexible body, he shot an arrow with the help of his waist, and the arrow broke through the air, hitting the front row of a Ming soldier. While the soldier was screaming and falling, the white-armored soldier was already holding an arrow in his bow, and with a loud shout, he shot again, and the arrow also hit the cheek of another Ming soldier.

Twenty white-armored soldiers shot three rounds in a row, and the pikemen in the first two rows of the Ming army had been swept away, and the musketeers on this side were still desperately reloading the fire. The anxious Ming army officer was about to blow the whistle to attack the white-armored soldiers after the firecracker stuffed the projectile into the barrel of the gun. I heard the shouts of the opposite side in unison, and at the same time that the Ming army fell in pieces, the rattan players of Houjin had already rushed up.
