Chapter 147: The phalanx kills through Jiannu
.
Just now, Wang Hongyu had been observing the entire battlefield situation.
The enemy's offensive on the flanks was crushed, but Nurhachi's main force of the Yellow Banner was all engaged in frontal combat.
As soon as he saw Nurhachi moving, Wang Hongyu remembered that his eldest brother taught him "not moving like a mountain".
"The Lord will be a mountain, and it shall not be moved."
Nurhachi moved, which means that he is personally engaged in fighting and cannot adjust the overall situation for the time being.
Although Chen Ce, the chief general of our army, also moved, I, Wang Hongyu, are still as immobile as a mountain.
"Spear phalanx forward!"
Wang Hongyu roared.
The Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, and white pole soldiers who formed the phalanx had already joined him in one mind, and the phalanx trotted neatly, ignoring the Jiannu cavalry on the flank, and rushed directly to the enemy's infantry flank.
At this time, the scene was that the front of both sides was scorching, the back row was shooting desperately, and the side was originally surrounded by Jiannu.
Just now, the spear phalanx forced Jiannu's flank back a hundred steps.
At this time, the two spear phalanxes are equivalent to two wings stretching out from the Ming army's large array, and the two wings are unstoppable. At this time, the two wings turned into left and right hooks, directly hitting the two wings of the Jiannu Great Array.
Wang Hongyu commanded Zhao Hannian and Qin Minping to repel the encircled Jiannu cavalry from both flanks.
These two spear teams were composed of Wang Hongyu using the Sichuan army's spear phalanx and stone pillar white pole soldiers.
The Sichuan and Zhejiang arquebusiers, the Franc machine gunners, and some tiger squat gunners followed up behind the new phalanx formed by bombarding the enemy.
The tiger squat cannon weighs only 35 pounds, which is easy to carry but hot after the cannon is fired.
Fortunately, the Southern Army had already prepared supplies here, and put more than a dozen sets of iron buckets that could be used to discharge water and fill water to cool down outside.
In this way, the heat dissipation is accelerated, the time of firing the gun is greatly extended, and the water can be changed at any time in order to turn into lightness, and it is not hot when carrying, and it can be carried casually with gloves.
But the water jacket and the tiger squat cannon set are not easy.
The water tank uses thin iron with good heat conduction, and the heat dissipation is faster if the barrel is very thin, and the heat dissipation is faster when the water tank is added.
The artillery fire was concentrated on the Jiannu archers, preventing them from concentrating on their arrows.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Hongyu took the spear and fire gun phalanx, directly set aside the cavalry of the two red flags, and directly caught up with these archers.
The archers, of course, restrained their spears slightly, so try to get as close to them as possible in hand-to-hand combat, and defeat them in close combat.
The archers of the other banners did not have a strong fighting spirit, and they quickly fled when they saw the spears coming.
Further on, facing the archers of the two yellow flags, this is Nurhachi's own flag, but it is more warlike than the other flags.
Jiannu's archers are all hunters, and many of them have practiced the skill of piercing through the yang in a hundred steps by hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, and they can shoot the pikemen at a distance of a hundred steps.
If there is no neat formation to keep the flanks of the soldiers from being shot, if there is no high-quality helmet armor to protect the front, if there is no three-eyed gun that keeps firing at each other, if there is no tiger squat cannon to keep bombarding the enemy, I don't know how many people will die.
But despite this, someone was shot in the face, and the result can be imagined.
Of course, so many preparations were made, and the Ming army of course suppressed the archers of the two yellow flags.
As the spears approached, the melee became more and more intense, rows of two-flag archers fell, and rows of follow-up personnel came up, although they were wearing armor and had good melee combat ability, but the melee was as many as ten to one in front of the spear phalanx. ….
Even if it is a long-range shot, it is the Ming army that has the advantage.
In particular, the Tiger Squat Cannon caused them the most damage.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "
The tiger squat cannon threw gravel shells diagonally upwards at an inclination angle of 65 degrees, and for a time fell to the position of the archers with yellow flags like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens.
Now they turned from yellow to red and yellow, and even though they were wearing armor, how could they withstand the high-speed impact of gravel under the blessing of gravitational acceleration?
Jiannu was blindfolded all of a sudden, and it took a while for the archers in the back row who were not hit by flying stones to react.
"Run!" A large number of Jiannu ().. co
.
The archers, screaming and screaming, fled.
Jiannu shouted several languages and scrambled to flee for his life, and the other two Yellow Flag dead soldiers couldn't stop the impact of the chaotic soldiers, and the formation was also chaotic.
Dai Shan didn't dare to fight against the Ming army's spear phalanx anymore, but he was afraid that the old slave would kill him on the charge of fear of war, so he could only rush to attack.
At this time, they are behind the phalanx of spears, and according to experience, the back of the spears is the biggest weakness.
"Rush! Rush from behind! "
But when you get close to you, you're completely dumbfounded.
This kind of phalanx, with spears in front, spears on the sides, and spears in the back, there is no direction at all that is a weakness.
The front row of the impact into the gun forest is death, the back row hesitated, the distance was also very close, a row of three-eyed guns hit, a large number of war horses ran in all directions, and there was no one left. Many cavalrymen fell off their horses, and a few were dragged by horses by stirrups, their heads hit the ground, and their heads did not break and they could not survive.
The two red flags were already frightened, and they did not dare to meet the spear phalanx, but now they turned their horses and fled, and the cavalry farther away did not move, but they were disturbed by the fleeing war horses.
Without the interference of the two red banner cavalry, Wang Hongyu went east to attack a large group of archers in Jiannu.
The two red banner cavalry were frightened, and even if the spear phalanx surrounded the Jiannu formation, they did not dare to take half a step forward.
At this moment, the cavalry with yellow flags in the southeast heard the sound of artillery and rushed to support in time, and went around to the west to flank the southern army's spear phalanx.
They are much more warlike than the two red flags, and their armor is much better.
Wang Hongyu had been prepared for a long time, and when the cavalry with the yellow flag rushed 200 steps away, it was already bombarded by the tiger squat cannon and the gravel scattered bombs. Many cavalrymen were killed, their horses were shot and fell, and the horses behind were unable to dodge and tripped, and the impact was blocked.
When they rushed to 120 paces, they were fired at arquebuses, and the cavalry were killed, and the horses were wounded and galloped.
When they reached a distance of 50 paces, they were attacked by a progressive three-eyed gun, and the closer they got, the more casualties they suffered.
The spears stabbed the cavalry off their horses.
As a result, the scene of the spear phalanx against the red flag cavalry was repeated again, and the yellow flag cavalry also suffered heavy casualties.
Originally, the cavalry that rushed over was limited, and the spear phalanx had a counter-charge, and the cavalry with yellow flags had no return.
The cavalry with yellow flags, who were a little farther away, hurriedly dismounted and fought on foot, but it was too late.
Several tiger squatting cannons were bombarding again, scattering their formation.
These Ming soldiers memorized a mantra under Wang Hongyu's training.
"Infantry gram cavalry, cavalry gram artillery, artillery gram infantry."
Of course, this simple restraint relationship cannot be applied, but it is very easy to understand.
The tiger squat cannon and the Franc machine bombed the Jiannu infantry, regardless of the opponent's armor, and they were blown up and flew around.
The infantry's spears and firearms phalanx completely infused the Jiannu cavalry, regardless of the two red flags or the yellow flags, the cavalry was not the opponent of the phalanx infantry at all.
Although there are not many cavalry in the Ming army, there are no Jiannu cannons, and they can let go of their hands and feet when fighting.
There are also arquebuses and three-eyed guns.
The arquebusiers act as the second line of attack, firing in a progressive salvo as long as the Kennu rushes within 120 paces.
The Three-Eyed Gunner was fully prepared, and Jiannu rushed to within 50 steps and lined up in a progressive manner to be shot.
The pikemen began to sprint in unison as Kennu rushed to twenty paces.
The sword and shield bearers are always in front to protect the combatants.
This is the division of labor.
It is obviously the same weapon as the other Ming armies, but after these veterans are trained to form a cooperative phalanx, they can fight ten at a time.
