About three miles north of the site of the Great Wall, the second battalion of the garrison is temporarily stationed.

The commander Zheng Yi looked at the mountains and forests in the south with a sad and angry face, and said to the three commanders around him: "The south has turned the sky upside down, but we are sitting on a cold bench here!" General Chen just looks down on our garrison, he is not at ease! ”

Zheng Yi's three commanders are called Chang Tianming, Ge Cong, and Zong Yuan, all of whom were Zheng Yi's old subordinates when he was in Dongchang Mansion.

At this time, the three of them were the same, looking at the direction of the battlefield in the south, and they all encouraged Zheng Yi to send people to ask for battle.

Zheng Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Find me a chicken, I'm going to write a bloody letter to fight! ”

Chang Tianming, Ge Cong, and Zong Yuan were dumbfounded, where can they find chickens in this wilderness?

At this moment, several people who were on guard on the perimeter came on horseback, and several people also brought an injured Yebushu.

"It's from the former battalion!"

Zheng Yi was taken aback, and brought three subordinates to meet him, and everyone put the Ye Bu brought back on the ground, leaning on a tree stump, and Ge Cong also loudly sent someone to call the medical officer.

"I'm looking for Commander Zheng, quick!"

There were two arrows stuck in the back of the night, because they were so deep into the body, everyone didn't dare to pull them out for a while.

Zheng Yi frowned and said, "I am Zheng Yi, the commander of the second battalion of the garrison, brother, have you met the Qing Tartars?" ”

I saw that Ye Bushu grabbed Zheng Yi's hands excitedly, and said with red eyes and gritted teeth: "The Qing army and Mongolia are bypassing more than 10,000 Tartars with white flags

The defense line of the Great Wall ruins is coming from the east of the defense line! The humble post is that the right side of the front battalion will not accept Wang Cong at night, please send troops to meet the enemy quickly! ”

Zheng Yi immediately punched the ground and shouted, "The whole battalion is assembled!" It's war! ”

After speaking, Zheng Yi looked at Ye Bushu named Wang Cong again, only to see that his eyes widened and a smile appeared on his lips, and he had died of exhaustion.

A second battalion who brought Wang Cong back did not collect at night, and said with red eyes at this time: "The arrow should have hit the back of the heart, this brother is a man, he crawled all the way with a breath, and when we found him, his hands were already worn out." ”

The crowd was silent.

At this time, more than 12,000 soldiers of the second battalion quickly assembled and soon finished lining up in the woods.

Zheng Yi held a bird gun in one hand and a waist knife in the other, looked at the soldiers of the second battalion who were ready to go, and roared loudly: "More than 10,000 Mongolian Tartars with white flags are coming around the road to kill, this is the first battle of my first battalion, and it is also the first battle of our garrison, the officers and soldiers of all departments must move forward, let those dog Tartars see, my garrison is also the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, send those dog Tartars to see the king of Hades!" ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

At this time, the soldiers of the second battalion were already waiting here, and suddenly heard that a large number of Mongolian Tatar soldiers were suddenly killed, and all of them had bright eyes, like tigers and wolves that saw fresh meat, and they were eager to try.

"The left is on the left, the right is on the right, and the middle is in the middle, for the middle army, the whole battalion of soldiers pushes to the south and meets the enemy with a standard battle formation!"

According to the requirements of the infantry drill code, the standard battle formation of each battalion is that the bird gunners are in front, facing the enemy in a horizontal formation, and the pikemen and sword and shield men are behind, ready to cross the bird gunners to meet the enemy at any time.

while

However, each battalion has its own fine-tuning of the specific deployment situation, which is generally the case.

Soon, the three officers and men of the second battalion were reorganized, and then the horn sounded, and among the more than 12,000 officers and men, in addition to the craftsmen, medical officers, and veterinarians of each unit who stayed in place to form a war "hospital" here, the baggage soldiers in the army also left a general number, responsible for transporting the wounded back from the battlefield.

In the end, the strength of the enemy to the south was about 10,000.

Zheng Yi stood in the middle of the formation, looking at the soldiers who were densely packed in front and back, left and right, and had high fighting spirit, his heart was full of pride, and he shouted: "Forward!" ”

"The clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the dust and earth are fame.

Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren.

Look at the world, as much as you want, and make up for the defects of heaven.

Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord.

Holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, kill all Hu Erfang and stop.

I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow.

The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles.

The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly. ”

Nowadays, the war songs sung by various departments of the new army, except for the "Han Final Army" written by Liu Yan and the "Triumphant Song" written by Qi Jiguang, each battalion has its own war song, and most of them chose this "Yun Conglong".

At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers marched south in a neat military formation, marching condescendingly in the mountains and forests, singing "Kill all Hu Erfang and stop", and the morale of the army suddenly reached its peak.

Soon, a large number of Mongol Tartar soldiers with white flags began to appear in front of the army, all of them were elite armor soldiers wearing three layers of heavy armor, and they were the forward scouts of the Tartar army.

Those Mongol armor soldiers are all sharpshooters, this

When arrows were fired, or shouting and shuttling through the woods, many people threw pike darts, iron bones, etc., and many officers and men in the second battalion were hit, and casualties began to appear in the army.

However, the soldiers of the second battalion on the march did not panic, and no one fired at the thousands of bird-stalkers in front of the army, and everyone gritted their teeth and looked at the Tartar soldiers in front of them angrily, waiting for the order of the officer.

When those Tartar stragglers saw that the Ming army in front of them was in strict formation, their own attacks did not work at all, and the huge military formation pressed towards their side in unison, and they were all shocked in their hearts, and they retreated one after another.

"Hold your ground and move on!"

Zheng Yi's eyes were red, and he roared loudly, Chang Tianming, Ge Cong, and Zong Yuan were in their respective military formations, seeing that the soldiers under their command had suffered casualties, they were all extremely angry, and they couldn't wait to rush up and fight immediately.

Soon, a large number of Mongolian soldiers and horses with white flags appeared in the woodland to the south, and those Tartar soldiers came in formation, and in the front were more than 2,000 elite armor soldiers, all of whom rushed up with shields and roaring, followed by more than 1,000 Bayala elite soldiers, and then thousands of Mongolian Tartar soldiers.

Thousands of men in the Tartars' army had already pointed their bows diagonally at the sky, and then under the command of a trumpet, they continued to fire arrows in a volley. However, even if the rain of arrows of the Mongol Tatars was projectile, the distance between the two sides at this time was more than a hundred paces, and the damage to the second battalion was zero.

However, the spectacular scene of the rain of arrows in the sky is a great deterrent to the enemy, if it is replaced by other Ming soldiers and horses, it is estimated that the army is already in turmoil at this time, and even deserters have begun to appear.

But the Tartar soldiers of the Ibai Division

Facing the second battalion, although it is slightly weaker than the battalions of the new army, it is definitely the strongest army in the world!

"A hundred paces away!"

The herald in front roared loudly, and Zheng Yi hurriedly shouted: "Stop advancing, bird hands prepare!" ”

"Stop!"

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

More than 10,000 soldiers of the second battalion stopped almost at the same time, and the thousands of bird-gunners in front of them were divided into three rows, each row of 1,000 people.

"Eighty paces away from the enemy!"

Zheng Yi roared angrily: "Volley! Put! ”

Rumble!

Starting with the first row of birdie gunners firing a volley, the three rows of birdie gunners took turns firing volleys, except for a little nervousness at the beginning, the soldiers quickly regained the feeling of training on weekdays. The harsh training experienced on weekdays played a role at this time, and all the bird gunners could eliminate all kinds of interference, change defenses, reload, and shoot without distractions, and ensure continuous firepower in the horizontal formation.

The Tartar soldiers who were advancing were hit hard, and the shields in the hands of the heavy armor in front of them could not withstand the close-range salvo of the flintlock birds, not to mention that there were constantly earth-shattering thunderbolts thrown by the second battalion of sword and shield men, which continued to explode in the Tartar army formation.

At this time, the dense forest was full of fires and gunsmoke, and the more than 2,000 elite armor soldiers in front of the Qing army at the forefront had already killed and wounded hundreds of people, and the more than 1,000 Baya armor soldiers who followed also had more than 200 casualties.

"Archers rush forward!"

At the command of Ibai, thousands of Mongol archers strode forward, while constantly shooting arrows in their hands to the Mongols

The man's unique "continuous shooting" technique continuously throws at the second battalion formation.

At this time, the rain of arrows of the Tartars was just enough to reach the front of the second battalion, and the bird-gunners who were firing a salvo were hit, and all the troops began to fall from the arrows.

"Ahh Bastard! ”

One of the bird-bearers was shot in the armpit, sat on the ground screaming and swearing, and was immediately dragged away by two baggage soldiers from behind.

"Wounded, take them away!"

Zong Yuan, the commander of the department, saw a bird in front of him fall with his hand on his neck, and an arrow hit his throat, and hurriedly roared, letting the baggage soldiers behind him come and drag people.

"Dead!"

One of the baggage soldiers reached out and tried it on the neck of the bird's hand, and when he found that he had lost his pulse, he beckoned his companion to pull the body away.

At the same time, the bird hand behind consciously fills the position forward to ensure the integrity of the horizontal formation.

Zong Yuan said angrily: "Keep the rhythm and shoot in turn!" Roundshot! Give Lao Tzu a dead dog Tartar! ”

The bird gun continued to roar, and the Mongolian archers in front of them did not have the three-layer heavy armor of elite armor, at most they were wearing a piece of cotton armor, and shooting at the flintlock bird at a distance of sixty or seventy paces was tantamount to suicide.

As long as the arrows of the Mongolian archers did not hit the neck, the door, etc., the soldiers of the second battalion could resist those arrows with their fine armor and helmets.

But the Mongolian Tartars can't, at such a distance, even if they are wearing three layers of heavy armor, there is a high probability that they will be penetrated!

The two sides exchanged fire for a while, and the Mongolian archers fell almost in pieces, and those armored soldiers and Bayala soldiers who took the opportunity to raise their shields and rush up and wanted to fight hand-to-hand also fell down with screams.

The brigade was the governor of the White Banner Mongol soldiers in Ibai

Under the battle, it was able to move forward slowly, of course, this was the result of a large number of human lives.

"These are all auxiliaries in Liu Yan's hands, why do they have such firepower!"

Yibai has seen the combat strength of the battalions of the new army, and also knows the banners of the battalions of the new army, although the soldiers and horses in front of him are also Shandong soldiers, but the banner is the so-called garrison army, which is obviously the auxiliary soldiers that Liu Yan temporarily put together to fill the number, so it is inevitable that he will have some contempt in his heart, thinking that as long as he fights hand-to-hand, he will definitely be able to defeat him.

It's just that Yibai can't figure out how many firearms Liu Yan has, and even these auxiliaries are equipped with a large number of bird guns?

"Rush up and you'll win the melee battle!"

At the same time, Zheng Yi looked at the Tartar soldiers who had rushed to about thirty paces, and immediately shouted: "All the bird gunners fire a salvo!" Lancers prepare! ”

Thousands of bird-gunners paused for a short time, then the front row squatted, the middle row sank, and the back row stood upright, and the three rows of bird-gunners opened fire at the same time, and the fierce fire was like a hurricane, instantly sweeping a large number of Tartar soldiers in front of the second battalion, and this wave of salvo took away at least a thousand people!

Immediately afterward, thousands of pikemen stepped forward in formation, shouting "Kill!" three times. Kill! Kill! After roaring, he rushed towards the already chaotic Tartar army.

This rush is to destroy the withering and decaying, this rush, thousands of Mongolian soldiers with white flags collapsed on the spot!
