Chapter 312: Fierce Battle
Crushing, reforming, impacting, resisting......
The infantry battle formation of the Ming army fought fiercely with Jiannu, and rows of Ming soldiers rushed forward and raised their bayonets to replace the casualties of their comrades and resist the impact of the enemy; The Jiannu cavalry was constantly hit by lead bullets and fell, and another group rushed up.
Bow, archery, dismounting, melee......
In the face of Jiannu's onslaught, the muskets in the battle formation were fired in an orderly and orderly manner, and white smoke rose and filled the front of the formation, making it almost impossible to see the enemy in front of them.
The momentum of the Jiannu shock gradually weakened, and the corpses of men and horses that fell everywhere hindered the advance of the subsequent cavalry.
Azig sent 2,000 men and horses to storm the center of the Ming army and stop the Ming army's attempt to flank Du Du's troops.
The infantry of the Ming army was divided into three large formations, left, center and right, and the formation was separated by less than 200 meters from the front of the formation. It seems that there is a circuitous passage for the Jiannu cavalry, but Jiannu also understands that this passage is a dead end for the Ming army to exchange fire from both sides.
The battle was fierce in the middle of the left formation, and the Ming army in the right formation rushed forward to the sound of golden drums, once again forming a posture to flank the Jiannu cavalry sent by Azig.
Azig was a little helpless, he didn't expect that with the same number of troops, Du Du's troops would not be able to quickly defeat the left formation of the Ming army.
The battle is in a stalemate, that is, it is fighting for attrition and will. Obviously, this is quite disadvantageous to our own army, which is at a disadvantage.
Without fortifications and favorable terrain to rely on, the battle formation of the Ming infantry was still so tenacious and tenacious. Azig had to admit that he underestimated the Ming army. Or rather, he didn't know much about the growing enemy.
In the face of the advancing Ming army's right position, Azig did not send any more men and horses to resist, and his troops were really insufficient. He made a desperate bet, leaving only a thousand cavalry in the formation, and the rest of the troops were all launched to launch a fierce attack on the left position of the Ming army.
It is better to choose one to break through than to divide the troops to resist. Azig wanted to work with Du Du to break the left formation of the Ming army, and then use the escape of the defeated soldiers of the Ming army to crush the other Ming army battle formations, forming an avalanche-like chain reaction.
The battle entered a white-hot one, and the left position of the Ming army was stubbornly supported; The middle column rushes forward, to flank the enemy; The right formation changed direction and advanced diagonally, with the potential to sweep the battlefield.
"Kill, kill!" Du Du roared, his throat like smoke, almost frantically urging the command.
The winner is here to see whose will collapses first. Once a rout is formed, no matter how many men and horses will become cowards who are desperate to escape.
The corpses in front of them were pillows, the wounded soldiers were wailing in pain, and the battle array of the Ming army was like a monster breathing fire, constantly devouring the enemy who rushed for his life.
Rumble! A dense rain of bullets swooped down on Jiannu diagonally, and the three rows of salvos of hundreds of muskets stopped Jiannu's momentum of rushing and killing.
Dudu's eyes widened, and Azig's mouth widened.
In their sight, in the passage between the left and center formations of the Ming army, hundreds of Ming troops suddenly appeared, only three thin rows, quickly in place, raising guns, and shooting.
The combination of battle formations and line tactics was not the first time it had been used, but with the help of the thickness and stability of the battle formation, and the rapid deployment of line muskets to inflict fierce blows, Jian Nu was caught off guard.
The so-called one and prosperous, then decline, three and exhaustion. Jiannu was attacked by sudden firepower, and the offensive was stalled, but the Ming army's battle formation stabilized its position again, the muskets roared, and the firepower output was still stable and fierce.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and the cavalry of the Ming army launched, seeing that Jiannu's troops were not many and all of them were invested, and there was no possibility of changing the deployment and tactics.
Two thousand flying horsemen galloped forward from the passage in the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle and right formations, gradually forming several cavalry walls in a row of 100 people, thirty or forty meters apart.
While rushing out of the path, the cavalry wall slightly redirection and pushed diagonally towards the Jiannu on the battlefield.
"Rush, kill, kill!" Shouts and roars burst out from their chests, and the Ming cavalry raised their swords and glared angrily, with an unstoppable momentum.
"Meet the enemy, rush and kill!" Azig drew his scimitar and came in front with a thousand cavalry.
Cavalry hedging was inevitable, and Azig knew the importance of speed. Delaying and waiting, allowing the Ming cavalry to approach and attack again, it is impossible to increase the speed in a short time.
The Daikin warriors are known for their cavalry archery, and they may not be able to resist the musket battle formation of the infantry, but in cavalry battles, even if there are fewer enemies and more enemies, he has full confidence.
A canopy of arrows swept across the sky, and Jiannu used his strength in cavalry to shoot at the Ming cavalry.
The Ming army's flying cavalry fell down with an arrow, and although the armor could resist the arrows shot by the cavalry bow, it was inevitable that the horses would be injured.
But the flying cavalry was shrinking, making up for the gap left by the withdrawal of the wounded cavalry, and it was still a relatively close arrangement.
Fifty meters, forty meters...... Jiannu abandoned his bow and raised his sword, his face was hideous, and he let out a wolf-like howl.
Bah, Bah, Bah...... The Ming cavalry suddenly pulled out the flintlock in their horse sacks and fired at the oncoming enemy.
Caught off guard, Jiannu was hit by the close-range firecracker and fell into a burst of chaos.
It was only a few seconds, and on the battlefield, the torrent of cavalry that did not give in to each other collided together, and in the sound of the collision of weapons, people turned on their backs, flesh and blood flew sideways, and both the enemy and us paid casualties in the moment of the battle.
But to Azig's shock, the fallen Houjin warriors outnumbered the enemy's casualties.
Almost none of the first to fight with the Ming cavalry were spared, and although the Ming cavalry also paid the price, they were once again shrinking and still able to maintain a relatively large number.
Having not fought with the cavalry wall, Azig would not have understood what happened and how Jiannu was slain at that time. Anyone who does not have the same idea of ending up will inevitably hesitate and hesitate when faced with the cavalry wall.
In the face of several swords, do you parry, or do you not block or dodge, and slash the knife in your hand at the enemy?
Obviously, no one was mentally prepared for this before the war. The Jiannu of Azig and Dudu also had no experience in fighting the cavalry walls of the Ming army.
At the moment of the battle, the lightning and flint, the slightest hesitation, the slightest slowness, are enough to kill him. Jiannu did not understand the trick of fighting on the cavalry wall, and it was certain that he would suffer losses and defeat.
A wall of cavalry rushed through, and the more they fought, the fewer people fought, but they never retreated. Until they rushed diagonally and broke away from the battlefield, there were less than ten men left in a hundred cavalry.
Their desperate fighting not only killed quite a lot of Jiannu, but also laid a good foundation for the comrades behind them to reduce casualties.
The second cavalry wall was pushed over, and the resistance had been reduced a lot, and more Jiannu were slashed. No matter whether your riding skills are superb or not, whether your martial arts are strong or not, it is a battle of swords against several knives, at most, it is the result of one life for one life.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Liu Xingzuo roared angrily, the gun flag in his hand gradually toppled down, pointing forward, and the moment he clashed with the enemy, the horse speed was mentioned as fastest.
The tip of the gun stabbed the enemy, and with a slight feeling, Liu Xingzuo's hand slid along the barrel of the gun, and then pushed back, using the strength of his wrist and arm to remove the force of the recoil.
