Chapter 126: The spear phalanx is mighty
Nurhachi was in the east of Shenyang, and when he saw that the Ming army could hold out to this point, he sighed: "He Shixian has courage and no strategy, and there is nothing to be afraid of...... You Shigong is low-key and capable, so it's a big trouble for me! ”
Dolgon and Duoduo followed him, and saw that the city of Shenyang was holding on to the death, and then the Jin soldiers and horses had no other way to attack the city except for internal traitors, climbing walls, and digging the city. It left a huge impact on their young hearts.
"In the future, we must get a weapon to break the city, especially the big bronze cannon on the city!"
Nurhachi glanced at the two red flags and the white flag that were temporarily resting, and prepared to invest the last troops to take Shenyang in one go.
Suddenly, Amferyangu, one of the five ministers, arrived at a gallop from the south.
"Great Khan! The Southern Army Zhou Dunji crossed the Hunhe River, and Da Beile had ordered light cavalry to raid the Henan Army! ”
"Humph! Dai Shan doesn't know that the blue flag can't beat Zhou Dunjibu! Can he win by sending light horsemen? ”
The old wild boar skin immediately saw the problem.
"Let the two red flags go up together, be sure to block Zhou Dunji!"
"Huh!"
He arranged for Daishan to ambush He Shixian, and after chasing for a period of time, he went to keep an eye on the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid that Zhou Dunjibu will quickly rescue, and now the worst has happened.
Nurhachi, who had been fighting for decades, suddenly became extremely solemn.
"Ben Khan has been fighting for decades, and has experienced countless vicious battles that are more dangerous than this, and today only if he breaks the Tiger Skin Post and Fengji Fort, and kills He Shixian, Shenyang is about to be breached, how can he give up halfway!
The soldiers of the Seven Banners gathered together and fought in one go! At this time, the retreat will be deflated, and the Ming army will still restore the guards of Shenyang!
Those who dare to retreat, kill! Those who dare not do their best, kill!
Ben Khan personally went to the city to kill the enemy after three drums! Our clan in the east of the city, those who fall behind Ben Khan, kill! ”
"Whoa!!
The order to kill three was passed down immediately.
The two yellow flags and the inlaid white flags directly swarmed up, with ladders climbing ladders, and stacked walls without ladders, the momentum was extremely huge.
The Ming army was overstretched, and the soldiers of Inner Mongolia heard the war drums and shouts, and launched a fierce attack on the east of the city at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the savage Jurchen was like a wild beast, and directly climbed the north wall with his bare hands.
Du Du's inlaid white flag, taking advantage of the small number of troops in the south, also climbed the ladder directly.
Only the eastern part of the city was left surrounded to the death, and under the leadership of the general Xia Guoqing, he fought desperately and refused to surrender.
Fei Yingdong, the head of the five auxiliary ministers, although he is old and sick, and his martial arts are far less than back then, but his ability to shoot arrows is still there. Aiming at Xia Guoqing, who was shouting, was an arrow.
"Ahh
The defender Xia Guoqing fell off the city wall with an arrow, and the Ming army in the east of the city was finally defeated and defeated.
Although there was only the blue flag of Mang Gurtai in the west of the city, when they heard the sound of war drums, they also launched an attack on the city.
......
"Kill!"
After Wang Hongyu's troops repelled the cavalry with red flags, they made a slight adjustment and headed northeast to rescue Shenyang.
When approaching the two red flags, the spear phalanx suddenly changed from stationary to trotting forward.
"All veterans in the world are heroes! With a spear in hand, I haven't been afraid of anyone! ”
Singing war songs, Wang Hongyu, Qin Bangping, and Qin Minping led 3,000 pikemen forward.
Zhou Dunji, Ran Yuelong, Lei Anmin and other 3,000 people stuck to the north bank of the Hunhe River.
The white-pole spear advanced slowly like a forest, and Jiannu could not get close to him in hand-to-hand combat, and he could not break through the armor with long-range shots, and only twenty steps of close fire could achieve significant damage.
However, in the spear phalanx, there are many three-eyed guns, and it is not too easy to shoot the Jiannu archers in twenty steps.
The red flag and the battle and retreat could not prevent the spear phalanx from advancing to the southwest of Shenyang.
Later, Dai Shan saw it clearly, and was very anxious at first, sighing that it was worthy of the southern army that had lost twice and had a blue flag.
But after observing it for a while, he laughed again.
Yue Tuo asked, "Why is my father laughing?"
Dai Shan pointed to the shape of the Southern Army and said: "I laughed at Zhou Dunji's wisdom and widowhood, and Wang Hongyu was reckless!" You see that the shape of the army is disjointed, and our army can surround and annihilate it! ”
Yue Tuo observed carefully and found that after the Ming army won the defense, the spear phalanx attacked, and the crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers on both wings stopped in place and did not follow.
Although the spear phalanx is brave, according to experience, it is at most frontal and powerful, and once it is flanked or surrounded, it can be easily eliminated!
"Father! Can be surrounded and destroyed! ”
"Yes, but be careful of those Ming troops who stayed by the river, they were staying where they were, and they were covering the subsequent Ming army to cross the river, so move quickly. If the situation is not good, listen to my orders to retreat immediately! ”
"Huh!"
Dai Shan personally led more than 6,000 soldiers and horses of Zhenghongqi to harass the spear phalanx from the front.
Yue Tuo brought three armor lamas with red flags, and a total of 4,500 people surrounded them from the side.
The remaining remnants of the Red Flag Army, staring at the remaining Ming Army on the north side of the Hunhe River, for a time the two Red Banner soldiers and horses of Jiannu were on the same page, and the momentum of Mount Tai was very scary.
The phalanx of spears was immediately surrounded by Jiannu, who was marching extremely fast, and the sides and backs were all inlaid with red flags.
Yue Tuo personally rushed to the front, thinking that those six-meter spears were inconvenient to turn around, and he would be able to stab Ming Jun's ass from behind immediately~
But when I got to the back of the phalanx, I was directly dumbfounded~
The spear phalanx of the Ming army is like a hedgehog, with pikemen facing the enemy in front and behind, left and right.
Just now on the north bank of the Hunhe River, the formation was a line of six rows of spears, and all the Ming troops had their backs to the south and north.
Now, the Ming army is a square formation, and on each side of the square, there are three rows of pikemen, all facing the outside of the square.
The inside of the square is hollow, Wang Hongyu and others command and dispatch in the middle, and there are also curved tiger squat cannons, shooting outside.
"I've never seen this kind of hedgehog array...... No matter how much, kill me! ”
The red flag roared angrily and rushed towards the phalanx, crashing into the formation again.
This time, there were only three rows of spears, and the front row was not squatting but standing normally, and the momentum was much worse than the six rows just now, and there were people crouching and some people raising their heads.
If you don't believe it, you can't do it!
"They're dead!"
The Zhenghong Banner, which was originally still being pressed and beaten, suddenly became brave, and in the face of huge casualties, he also broke into the spear phalanx with a heavy armor.
The first row of spears stretched out long, and from a distance they looked dull, as if they were very clumsy, and they could be dodged by stabbing them.
When I got closer, I also found that the first row of Ming troops was just an ordinary flat lift, not moving, and there was no threat at all~
"Up!"
The bold Jiannu, with the big axe and big knife in his hand, stretched out under the tip of the spear, wanted to go up, pick up the spear, and then rushed up to kill while he was free.
As soon as he stretched his weapon down, he saw that the Ming army on the opposite side was excited, holding a spear and running forward.
"Poof!"
The weapon stretched out below and teased it~ I didn't even have a chance to block, so I was poked into a hole by a shot.
"We're not clay sculptures, if you interfere with the gun, we won't rush forward?"
These white pole soldiers and pikemen of the Sichuan army have long been trained in various methods of killing the enemy, and when they encounter this situation, they do not stretch out their spears and stab, but directly rush forward and stab at the same time, so as to ensure that the enemy has no time to dodge.
And the front and back cooperated tacitly, and after stabbing down a person, he did not pursue, and under the cover of the spears of his comrades behind, he took a few steps back and resumed the formation.
Some Jiannu wanted to take the opportunity to fight and give full play to the advantages of short weapons, but they didn't have a chance at all.
Someone reached out to grab the barrel of the gun, but it was still too slippery to grasp because the barrel was oiled and stained with blood, and he was stabbed to the ground in an instant.
The three rows of spears were like waves, one wave shot out, stabbed down a group of Jiannu, and then retracted, as if the wave had returned to calm.
This is the hollow wave spear phalanx trained by Wang Hongyu by combining the original hand-to-hand combat formation of the white pole soldiers with the Spanish spear phalanx.
The Jiannu people were beaten on their backs.
