Chapter 219: Ying Qi

"There is an order from the military gate, please ask General Chen to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to attack the Jiannu formation head-on!"

"The two battalions of the right battalion and the left battalion in the rear will be the help of the general army on the left and right."

Chen Wang's gaze crossed over the Tang Ma who came to give the order, and looked in the direction of the Chinese army not far behind him.

The position of the Chinese army, representing Sun Chuanting's fiery red Daxu, stands on the high slope, the flags are like brocades, undulating, the smoke and dust are billowing on the left and right sides, and the rumbling war drums have sounded in the sky above the field.

The infantry of the two battalions on the left and right of the superintendent are beginning to assemble, and the soldiers and horses of the brigade are stepping through the grass in the southern suburbs of Zhending, and one after another the flags are slowly enlarged in Chen Wang's field of vision.

The combat strength of the Governor Battalion under Sun Chuanting is definitely first-class, counting the 2,000 soldiers and horses left in Shaanxi, there are a total of 7,000 people, and each small battalion has about 1,000 people.

The original supervising battalion was recruited by Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi, with only 3,000 people, and it was also the basic plate of Sun Chuanting's supervising battalion.

Later, after completing the preparation for the four guards in Xi'an, Sun Chuanting selected elite generals from the four guards, incorporated them into the supervision battalion, and expanded the army by 2,000 again, making the number of the supervision battalion reach 5,000 people.

Sun Chuanting governed the army very strictly, the training was ruthless, and some pacesetters were unbearable, so that in the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting's pacesetters Xu Zhong and Liu Yingjie set off a mutiny, causing huge losses.

Now the composition of the superintendent battalion under Sun Chuanting is not all Shaanxi soldiers, and half of them are Sichuan soldiers who are transferred later.

The two battalions of the front right battalion and the rear left battalion are all composed of Sichuan soldiers, although these Sichuan soldiers have not followed Sun Chuanting for a long time and have not been trained for a long time, but they are not much inferior to the original standard battalion soldiers under Sun Chuanting's command.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The chariot of the Ming army carrying the war drums slowly moved forward, and the high-spirited war drums continued to echo in the fields on the outskirts of Zhending City, impacting the chests of everyone in the military formation.

"Mighty!"

With the deafening sound of might, the two battalions of the front right battalion and the rear left battalion under Sun Chuanting only took half an hour to step out of the Chinese army's big array.

On the left and right wings, they converged into an endless forest of guns and halberds, and swept towards the Qing army's large array.

The command of the attack was also handed over to Chen Wang by Sun Chuanting.

Chen Wang lowered his head slightly, and took the order flag sent by Sun Chuanting with both hands.

"Chen Gong, you lead the 1st Cavalry Thousand Headquarters to press the rear formation, as a battle overseer, and plan the two wings."

Chen Wang took over the order flag, and the first order was to let Chen Gong lead the cavalry to suppress the formation.

The Qing army was heavily guarded, and the guns and halberds were like a forest, and it was difficult to bite like a hedgehog curled up.

No sane general would let the cavalry directly attack the infantry formation.

And until now, Chen Wang has accumulated such a small number of cavalry, most of which are still ready-made, and the real cultivation is very small.

Although the maintenance and maintenance of cavalry is expensive, it is even more difficult to replenish cavalry.

In many cases, when one dies, one is missing, and it is extremely difficult to replenish.

There are many people who can ride horses, but it is extremely difficult to find those who can still fight on war horses.

"The gunmen are in front, the spearmen are behind, and they are lined up according to the rules of wartime."

Chen Wang held the order flag in his hand, looked left and right, and gave an order in a deep voice.

Hu Zhili and Chen Ming both responded to the order and returned to their respective thousand headquarters.

Sun Chuanting handed over the command of the attack.

Chen Wang didn't think of any tricks and tricks, nor did he think of any strange tricks, but divided the two infantry headquarters under the battalion into two formations, and laid out a thick formation of two-line deployment in a regular manner.

More than 2,000 soldiers were divided into fields according to their respective innings, and the small formations of each two innings were combined into a middle formation, leaving a slight gap between the middle formations.

The front formation is a large line formation composed of 1,000 soldiers holding sea oaths.

They were made up of two infantry divisions, each with four rows of gunners, lined up in four middle formations, and lined up across the field.

There were not many people in 1,000 people, and unlike the gunners armed with arquebuses, the sea oaths were flintlock pistols, so they could be more closely aligned.

More than 1,000 soldiers were closely lined up, and the entire front was only more than 160 meters away.

Behind them were a group of Hanzhong soldiers armed with spears and shields.

In the rear and on the two wings, there were cavalry formations lined up, slowly pressing away like dark clouds, as well as two battalions of the superintendent under Sun Chuanting.

The rest of the Ming infantry was also slowly coming from all directions.

With the mobilization of the army and the opening of the waves, countless smoke and dust rose up. Above the wilderness

Chen Wang held the order flag in one hand and the reins in the other, and restrained the war horse that was moving forward.

Over the years, he has commanded many battles, facing enemy forces ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

But Rao is like this, Chen Wang's heart is still not calm at this time.

The soldiers under his command followed him all the way to the north and south, but the opponents they faced were basically poorly equipped rogues, and they rarely encountered a real fight for their lives.

Most of the time, the rogues flee with one blow, rather than fighting to the death.

The intensity of the confrontation with the Qing army is by no means comparable to the confrontation with the Liukou.

But now it's ready to fly, and it has to be sent.

Chen Wang raised his head slightly, and dragged the war horse to the right for half a circle.

He was located a little behind the large array, and there were more than a hundred guards guarding him to his left and right.

The twenty three-pound guns and four five-pound guns in the army had been gathered and lined up at the rear of the pikemen's ranks.

The position of the array was still three miles away from the Qing army's main array, so these cannons had not yet been unloaded from the pack horses, and they were still being dragged on.

The light is dim, and the sun is setting.

The blood-red sunset dyed the sunset on the horizon blood-red, and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of blood everywhere it looked.

Chen Wang grabbed the reins in his hand, clenched the order flag in his hand, and slowly exhaled the turbid qi that had accumulated in his chest.

After a short period of mood swings, Chen Wang had regained his composure, but for some reason, he felt a raging flame burning in his chest and under his heart......

"Kill slaves!"

"Kill slaves!"

In Chen Wang's mind, there has always been a voice echoing continuously.

It was his voice, but it wasn't his voice either......

Chen Wang slowly raised his hand, looked at the blood-red glow in his palm, and gave the first command in a deep voice.

"Ying Qi!"

"Responding to the Flag !!"

Before Chen Wang's words fell, the commander in charge of the order had already repeated the order loudly.

As the military order was issued, the herald shouted, and a blue flag was held high.

"The blue flag of the Chinese army, the flag should be the flag!"

At this time, Hu Zhili and Chen Ming, who were on both sides of the large array and commanded the troops of their headquarters, both saw the blue flag raised by the Chinese army.

Hu Zhili and Chen Ming's attention has always been on the position of the Chinese army, and the next moment they saw the blue flag raised, they had already ordered the flag bearer of the headquarters to raise the flag and shake it, and obey the order.

The two thousand generals completed the flag to the Chinese army, and the generals in the last two departments also responded to the flag, and the four general flags were slowly raised, and then began to respond to the hundred flags, and a total of twelve hundred flags were raised this time.

With the raising of the twelve hundred flags, the flags of each flag also ordered the guards to raise the flags and wave and shout in response.

The last to respond to the flag were the captains of their squads, who took off the flags they were carrying behind them, responded in a deep voice, and waved in response.

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

For a while, the entire large array was full of promises and deep echoes.

Flags flew above the array, a dazzling red color appeared on the horizon, and a fierce killing aura suddenly burst out and swept away in all directions.

Sun Chuanting's eyes were condensed, his expression was serious, he had seen Chen Wang's soldiers, he had seen them when he was in Heishuiyu.

At that time, he just felt that Chen Wang had trained his troops well, trained well, and the soldiers under his command could order and prohibit them, and they were brave and good at fighting.

But now, he sees something different, a different place.

Before the battle, just looking at the Ying Qi, the clues have already been revealed.

More than 2,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 individuals responded to the flag, but they were as one and as one person.

And the two battalions under his command were either half a beat full or a few points faster when they responded to the flag, which seemed quite chaotic.

"Raise the yellow flag, fight with all arms, and inspect the equipment!"

With the raising of the yellow flag, the soldiers of all ministries, departments and bureaus all received the signal.

The flags were passed on layer by layer, and all the soldiers began to check their equipment.

The infantrymen armed with spears, swords and shields checked the armor on their bodies again, tied the Yanling knife at their waists, held the spears in their hands tightly, and tied the helmets on their heads again.

They tried their best to suppress the emotions in their hearts and calm their ups and downs.

The soldiers in front checked the oiled paper packets placed in their waist pockets, and each oiled paper bag contained a certain amount of gunpowder and lead bullets.

They removed the oath from their backs and carefully examined the fire door and flint.

After confirming that everything is correct, all the soldiers hold the crest with their right hand and the body with their left hand, placing it on their right shoulder.

One after another, the flags rose again, and kept swaying, sending back the news to the Chinese army that the preparations were completed.

"The Chinese army blows the marching trumpet and beats the marching drum!"

"Raise the yellow flag, and the whole army will march slowly."

"Tang Qi herald, three hundred steps in formation!"

Chen Wang dragged the war horse under his seat slowly forward, and at the same time kept issuing new orders, his gaze stayed on the Qing army's large array not far away.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

On the field, the sound of war drums was endless, and the sound of rolling horns echoed in all directions.

With the sound of dull footsteps, the three formations of more than 5,000 infantry, under Chen Wang's order, all looked ahead, opened their legs, and walked towards the front without hesitation.
