The rout of the Han soldiers' strikers inevitably impacted the rear team led by Tong Yangxing.

There are countless examples of being disorganized by defeated soldiers on the battlefield.

Dominated by fear, only the rout of the army with the idea of running away is extremely difficult to stop, even in the face of swords and guns, even if it is commanded by a famous general.

Panic and fear are contagious diseases that can infect others and cause a domino-like chain reaction.

Tong Yangxing also had some experience, so he hurriedly erected the flag and gave an order.

"Run in both directions, and those who collide with this formation will be killed!"

"Run in both directions, and those who collide with this formation will be killed!"

The officers shouted with their swords, and the Han soldiers also raised their guns and shouted, trying to use such sounds and actions to wake up their comrades who had lost their thinking.

Hard blocking is the worst choice, first channeling, let the defeated soldiers run to the back of the formation, and then rectify, this should be the most feasible way.

Obviously, Tong Yangxing did not expect that the Ming army was not going to chase after him. After defeating the forward Han soldiers, the Ming soldiers stopped their pursuit and retreated back amid the sound of gold.

However, the retreating Ming army was no longer limited to the shallows that broke into the river, but joined forces with the two groups of friendly troops who crossed the river and formed a formation on the river bank.

The Han soldiers had not yet been completely reorganized, and the morale of the army had not yet stabilized, and the cavalry led by Yue Zhi could not wait, so they crossed the Han soldiers and ordered the Ming army to deploy the formation on the riverbank.

Yue Zhi reined in his war horse in front of the formation and observed the formation of the Ming army.

The Ming army was led by dozens of artillery carriages with Furlong cannons, followed by musketeers who were waiting for the battle, and the two ends of the car formation hugged the river and formed an arc.

The Han soldiers were defeated, and Yue Zhi was not very surprised; The Ming army and horses increased, and there were more vehicles and artillery, which was also expected by him. Originally, he wanted to destroy more enemies, and felt that a few hundred Ming troops were too few.

"Lord Belle." Luo Xiujin stared at it for a long time, and when Yue Yu was about to give the order to attack, he suddenly spoke: "The enemy's formation seems to be, it seems to be a moon formation. ”

But the moon array? Yue Yu looked at Luo Xiujin in confusion, he hadn't heard of this formation? I just think it's a good name.

The Moon Array is one of the ancient Chinese tactics of military chariot warfare. According to the records of the "General Guide to Governance"? It was Liu Yu who invented the "Moon Array" and defeated the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty with about 2,000 elite infantry.

And the key to the moon array is the ship? Or the right to water production. Can the river keep the rear and flanks of the Moon Formation? You don't have to worry about being surrounded by enemy forces and having a wide view of the flat riverbank.

At the same time, a good view makes it easy to observe the actions of both the enemy and the enemy? Keep abreast of the situation on the battlefield.

The flat terrain deprives the enemy of the terrain advantage, while the defenders can overlook the battlefield from a high battle ship? It is equivalent to occupying the commanding heights.

In a word? The "Moon Array" hugs the river at both ends, takes the river bank as the moon string, and resists the enemy's impact with the arc of dispersing the force point. The soldiers in the formation can also have the effect of "putting them to death and coming back to life".

Luo Xiujin is not very sure? Because the Ming army is like a "moon array"? But there were no tall warships in the river to answer and cover.

"It's just a semi-circular defensive formation." Yue Yu turned his head and observed again, but he didn't see anything powerful.

But he didn't want to wait any longer, because the ships of the Ming army were heading to the opposite shore and dragging it on? The strength of the Ming army will increase again.

Tong Yangxing and other Han generals also rushed to listen to the order, and they were defeated in the first battle? Their faces are dull, and they want to show it better.

"Han soldiers attacking two wings? A certain led the troops to attack the center. Yue Zhi didn't talk nonsense, and simply laid out the battle plan.

For river water? The Jurchens had a knee-jerk resistance. And? Yue Xuan also saw that he was waiting for the ships of the Ming army to return? You can then fire from the boat and flank the opponent who approaches the riverbank.

Therefore, letting the Han soldiers attack from both flanks and distracting the strength and firepower of the Ming army is conducive to the Jurchen elite cavalry to break the enemy formation.

Now, Yue believes that his mistake may be that he did not prepare enough cars.

But who would have thought that the task of guerrilla attacks around Haizhou City and harassing and containing the Ming army would turn into siege and annihilation!

Tong Yangxing also felt that he was patronizing to strengthen the city defense and add weapons to defend the city, and the work of building the car was delayed.

Luo Xiujin has been frowning and thinking, and he doesn't know much about the "Moon Formation". So, I just felt like it, but I didn't think it clearly.

After Yue Zhi finished arranging, he immediately ordered an attack. Cavalry charges will not be taken, and heavy armoured soldiers abandon their horses and fight on foot, which is the main force of the attack; The cavalry dismounted with a large bow, providing cover for fire.

He had fought with the Ming army in southern Liaoning with Dai Shan, and he knew the firepower of the Ming army very well. So, before attacking, he sent light cavalry to disturb the formation.

Hundreds of horsemen howled and rushed towards the Ming army's battle formation, but the impact route was diagonal, ready to turn and break away in front of the formation.

That's right, lure the Ming army to open fire. This was tried and tested repeatedly in the early days of Jiannu's rebellion.

Due to psychological and weapon quality reasons, the Ming army's bird soldiers often hurriedly opened fire outside the effective range, and only began when they reloaded and reloaded.

Hundreds of horsemen shouted and shouted, revealing their fierce appearances, and in the rumbling sound of the galloping war horses, they looked full of might.

The Ming army in the battle formation was waiting for it, and the guns did not sound or bombard, as if they had seen through Jiannu's feint.

The light car captain Gar pager was very angry, and was treated as nothing, and it would not make people happy in any way.

He decided to go a little further, and if he could get close to the range of his bow and shoot a round of arrows, he might be able to lure the enemy.

For the muskets of the Ming army, Jiannu also studied and gained a lot of useful experience.

For example, the effective range should be relatively safe at a distance of 100 meters. If you are hit by a musket at this distance, or if you are blind, you can only sigh that you are unlucky.

"I see." Luo Xiujin suddenly realized that although the Ming army did not have tall warships, they had artillery and had a long range, which was completely capable of providing fire cover for the infantry.

But now it's too late to say anything, Yue Zhen has already thrown off his staff and gone to the front to prepare to supervise the battle.

The Han army was also prepared, led by Tong Yangxing and Ma Guangyuan, and launched an attack on both flanks of the Ming army's battle array.

Xiong Tingbi held up the binoculars and watched the battle on the other side of the river. Another group of Ming troops is departing by boat, and will soon join the war group.

Luo Xiujin guessed correctly, Xiong Tingbi discussed and studied with the generals, and indeed put forward an improved, or copycat version of the "Moon Array".

The times are different, and the methods of warfare and weapons and equipment are also very different from those of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

But the essence of the "Moon Array" was understood by Xiong Tingbi and the generals. The chariot resisted the cavalry, the musket beat the strong crossbow, and the artillery was even more invincible to the Jiannu.
