"The method of slave and thief warfare, the dead soldiers are in the front, and the sharp soldiers are in the back."

"The dead soldier wears heavy armor, rides two horses, rushes forward, although the front is dead and then the front is restored, do not dare to retreat, and the sharp soldiers will kill them from behind."

"Wait for him to impulse me, and then the sharp soldiers will take advantage of it. Imitate the bones and the vultures. ”

"Unlike the elite of the northern captives, the old and the weak are in the latter, this must not be able to resist the enemy with my bow and arrow, but the firearms chariot can resist it."

Chen Wang immediately stood on the high slope, and he saw every move of the Qing army.

Cao Wenzhao once told him about the tactics of the Qing army, and he also used to fight with the Qing army on the battlefield in close combat, and he was very familiar with the tactics of the Qing army.

It's just that he used to be a soldier in the army, but now he is a general who commands the army.

The Qing army in front of him seems to have changed its tactics according to the situation, most of the people standing on the front line are the followers and auxiliaries in the army, the dead soldiers in heavy armor are in the second echelon, holding bows and arrows, and the sharp soldiers who are ready to shoot are in the third echelon.

The Qing army's array was originally very long, but after four rounds of shelling, the Qing army's shield cars were destroyed, so the length of the array also became smaller.

More than 20 huge shield vehicles are arranged together and almost connected into a line, the shield vehicles of the Qing army are extremely wide, just like the siege tanks of later generations, and only one shield car can cover more than thirty or forty people.

In the gap between the vehicles, there were a large number of Qing soldiers with shields in hand, followed by many dead soldiers with swords and shields, and in the rear, a group of sharp soldiers with bows and arrows were all ready to attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!! ”

The war drums in the Qing army's array were resounding violently.

The sense of superiority and self-confidence formed by the victory over the years made the Qing army regain its morale.

In the midst of the fierce war drums, a group of Qing army armor soldiers were moving forward quickly, covering and approaching within ninety paces.

At a distance of ninety paces, between the two sides, the banner armor was already clearly visible.

Zhou Changshou stood in the first row, he carried the sea oath on his shoulders and looked ahead.

There was no obstruction in front of him, and he could clearly see the Qing army armor soldiers coming in waves.

His heart was beating fast and fast, so anxious that he could hear his own heartbeat clearly.

The north wind was eager, and the shouting orders in the Qing army's formation were blown by the north wind, all of which were heard clearly by Zhou Changshou.

Qing Jun spoke Manchu, and Zhou Changshou had never heard Manchu, so he naturally didn't know what the Manchu language that kept ringing in his ears meant.

But you don't need to know the meaning, some words can be good or bad just by hearing the tone.

It's false to say that you are not afraid, even if you have been in the battle array countless times, but every time you are in battle, you can't help but feel fear in your heart.

The crockpot will not be broken from Inoue, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one dares to guarantee that he will be able to leave the battlefield alive.

In the fight of cold weapons, as long as it is a normal person, even if he has been in battle a hundred times, he will still be afraid when he reaches the one hundred and one time.

The training of the military is not only to teach people how to fight, but more importantly to teach people how to overcome the fears in human nature.

Zhou Changshou didn't tilt his head, just looked sideways slightly.

Beside him were countless comrades who wore the same military uniform, the same helmet, and the same firearms on their shoulders.

"All of us are united, and the mountains can shake ......"

I don't know why, Zhou Changshou remembered the ballad that had been sung in the army.

The fear slowly receded, and his mind gradually cleared.

"In a dignified formation, thousands of people line up to the front, the brave cannot go first, and the cowardly cannot lag behind."

"Though there are ten thousand hosts, they are as one man."

"In this way, the world can be invincible!"

It wasn't until this moment that Zhou Changshou understood what Chen Wang said at the school.

"Though there are ten thousand hosts, they are as one ......"

"Bang!!"

The Chinese army ordered the cannon to go out, interrupting Zhou Changshou's thoughts.

Zhou Changshou felt a pang in his heart, and subconsciously clenched the sea oath in his hand.

The thousand flags of the thousand headquarters on the two wings of the Hanzhong Army have already moved in response to the sound.

"Volley ready!!"

The captains of the firearms flags all raised their Yanling knives in their hands and roared loudly.

Huang Hu's familiar voice came from Zhou Changshou's right rear, which also made Zhou Changshou's mood much more stable.

"Tiger!"

Zhou Changshou responded to the order, half-squatted down, and at the same time put down the sea oath on his shoulder.

Along with him roared in anger, there were also a group of soldiers standing with him, and countless sea oaths were lowered almost at the same time.

The chanting in unison dispelled the last trace of fear left in Zhou Changshou's heart.

He knew that beside him were his robes, and they stood side by side with him, wearing the same uniform, holding the same weapons, and wearing the same helmet, beside and behind him.

The sound of "tiger" seemed to have a kind of magic, and even his crazy beating heart slowly calmed down.

Everything was telling him that he wasn't alone!

Drill the code, the horn sounds, and the tiger word is drunk three times.

The first and second rows of the guns shoot in a crouching position, and the third and fourth rows shoot in a standing position.

The command to prepare for the salvo, the first and second rows of gunners need to crouch down in response to the order.

They rehearsed this military order countless times, and after the horn sounded and the military order issued by the flag commander of each team, not a single person made a mistake.

The soldiers in the first row and the second row all squatted down in unison, and the front of the entire Hanzhong army instantly became shorter.

"Tiger!"

The horn of the Chinese army sounded again, and the soldiers in the front of the Hanzhong army shouted in unison again.

More than 1,000 firecrackers in the two divisions and four bureaus in the front formation have already completed the change of formation, and on the front line that is more than 100 paces long, four rows of gunners are staggered.

The first and second rows of gunmen fired in a crouching position, and the third and fourth rows of gunmen shot in a standing position.

The gunners in the back row stretched out the sea oath guns from the small gap in the front row, and more than 1,000 flintlock pistols were flattened in unison, pointing at the Qing troops swarming on the opposite side.

Further behind, a group of soldiers wearing bright helmets and armor and holding hard bows have already completed the assembly, holding heavy bows and ready to go.

Chen Gong was wearing a red robe on the outside, a silver armor with fish scales on the inside, a red tasseled iron helmet on his head, and a clear bow in his hand standing on the side of the queue.

Sun Chuanting dispatched troops to fill the gap in the two wings, and Chen Gong naturally did not need to lead the cavalry to continue as support.

The Qing army attacked in a big way, and there were only more than 2,000 infantry on the front, which was naturally a little weak.

Therefore, Chen Wang directly ordered Chen Gong to lead the cavalry of the thousand headquarters to dismount and fight on foot as a backup.

At the time of the counterinsurgency in Guannei, Chen Wang had already begun to change his tactics.

The more than 1,000 cavalry under his command have always been used as heavy infantry.

Wearing three layers of heavy armor, with tiger guns, steel knives, blunt weapons, and heavy bows and arrows, it is completely based on the standard of the Qing army and the white armor soldiers.

The armor on their bodies is basically the newly produced armor in the Hanzhong Guard Ordnance Bureau, as well as the armor that has been maintained and refurbished to ensure the quality, and the protection is excellent.

All along, Chen Wang has demanded the highest requirements for these cavalry under his command, and the amount used on them is almost more than five times that of the same number of ordinary soldiers.

……

The heads of the Qing army were swaying, and the armor and helmets of the water mill reflected a strange blood light in the reflection of the setting sun, which looked extremely terrifying.

Within ninety steps, Erhe had already taken out the arrow and was ready to fire.

The fastest stragglers in front of them were already approaching a distance of more than 60 paces, and they either drew their bows and arrows, or set off firearms, and continued to shoot at the Ming army's large array, trying to attract the Ming army to fire in advance.

At a distance of sixty or seventy steps, the Ming army's bird guns and three-eyed guns did not have much armor-breaking ability, and they did not have much to worry about their lives.

In many cases, they were able to make meritorious contributions in such actions, and when the Ming army guns were released in advance because of panic, the sound of the Chinese army drums would sound.

Then the large formation in the rear approached a distance of seventy or eighty paces and began to throw.

Although the damage caused by the light arrows used in the projectile above this distance is limited, it can disrupt the Ming army's array and shake the Ming army's large array.

When the Ming army's large array was in chaos, he would take the opportunity to advance to a distance of thirty or forty paces, and shoot quickly with a strong bow and heavy arrows, which could destroy the remaining Ming army's will to fight in an instant.

Generally by this time, most of the Ming army had already collapsed and began to flee.

Even if the elite of the Ming army did not collapse for a while, the morale must have fallen to the bottom.

At that time, they only need to rush to the front, they can crush the Ming army in momentum, and then crush the Ming army's military formation, and then those Ming troops will become a share of military merit and property for them to take and want.

But this time, the Ming front was quiet, and none of the gunners were provoked to shoot.

Erhe's heart was slightly cold, and he subconsciously remembered the bloody battle that happened on the bank of the Hunhe River more than ten years ago.

The same is true of those Zhejiang soldiers...... Wait until they get close before they start shooting.

Those Zhejiang soldiers relied on the camp and their fearless fire at a distance of thirty paces, and countless bullets and bullets flew away, building a death zone dozens of steps long in front of their camp so that they had no way to advance at all.

Erhe clenched the war bow in his hand, and the chill in his heart was even worse.

In the first battle of the Hunhe River, those Zhejiang soldiers fought until they ran out of ammunition and food, and then they fought with them in short combat, and fought until the darkness, when they finally defeated them completely.

The horn of the Ming army in front of him came, and Erhe's heartstrings tightened in an instant.

Erhe's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but freeze in mid-air with the bowstring in his hands.

Because the horn suddenly sounded, it was the horn he heard on the bank of the Hunhe River!

Erhe looked ahead, his eyes were full of fear, the large array of the Ming army in front of him suddenly turned, the soldiers in the front row seemed to squat down, and the entire array instantly became short.

The rapid change of the Ming army's formation far exceeded Erhe's expectations.

By the time Erhe reacted again, he was already greeted by rows and rows of black holes.

And where those muzzles are pointed, is exactly where they are!
