Chapter 191 Fighting Jinhua
In the eastern suburbs of Jinhua City, Tu Lai, the general of the Zhenghuang Banner, led the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers to array along the valley.
The mountain wind roared and the flags were roaring. Tu Lai stood under the battlefield with a horse, looking at the West with a cold expression. Come on! A few months ago, I defeated Zheng Chenggong in Suichang, Chuzhou. Today, Zheng Chenggong led his troops back. I want to see how much progress Zheng Chenggong has made.
Tu Lai looked back and looked at it. The seven thousand troops behind him were ready for battle, and he was full of confidence.
In the past, hundreds of Qing troops could defeat thousands of Ming troops, while thousands of Qing troops were enough to defeat nearly ten thousand Ming troops. Now, two thousand Zhenghuang Banners and five thousand Green Camp soldiers could block Zheng Chenggong's 30,000 Ming troops.
"Send the order and the whole army will form a formation!" Tu Lai shouted in a deep voice.
Just as the seven thousand Qing troops were setting up an emergency formation, a large flag appeared on the hill to the west, and then countless figures rushed up the hill and then went down from a high place.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops crossed mountains and ridges, and dense crowds were spread all over the hillside, like mudslides, with terrifying momentum!
Seeing this, Tu Lai couldn't help frowning. Unexpectedly, less than half a year after Zheng Chenggong was defeated, he still had such a strong family background.
Thirty thousand Ming troops crossed the hills, flags filled the sky, swarming in. Among the troops, Zheng Chenggong rode out with a gun, with silver armor and red robe, tiger body and wolf waist, majestic.
He pulled up his horse and stood up, and raised his spear. The people and horses behind him stopped. Then he looked at the enemy's formation and watched for a while. He saw thousands of Qing troops standing in front of him. After the Qing army, Jinhua City was looming, and the rumbling sound of cannons came faintly.
Before Zheng Chenggong discussed with his generals, he pointed at the front of his gun and decisively called out, "Foreign Army assault!"
After a military order, the horn suddenly arose!
Among the front army, a powerful general wearing mountain armor, Nagan Hui, pulled out his waist knife and roared, "Kill!"
The three thousand armored Zheng army raised their shield and held a shuttle gun in hand, and slowly came out of the battle and pressed directly towards the Qing army.
Seeing this, Tu Lai was immediately furious, "The defeated generals under his command are so rampant! Cavalry, encircle!"
A thousand Qing army cavalry slowly drove out, and the war horses gradually increased their speed, divided into two directions, and moved forward to the Ming army and killed them at both sides!
~~~~~~
Thirty miles south of Jinhua City, the fierce shouts of killing have lasted for an hour.
On the bank of the Nanxi River, Zhu Yihai had 30,000 troops, and he killed 10,000 Qing troops.
Under the Ming army's big flag, Zhu Yihai, wearing golden armor, face like a crown and jade, eyes like meteors, and horse under his crotch, stared at the battlefield with nervous eyes.
In front of the army, two rushing troops, inspired by the horns and war drums, suddenly collided like two torrents,
There were loud noises on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the two armies met in close contact, using their bodies as walls, and the sound of killing went straight to the sky.
The soldiers on both sides, their faces were close to their faces, their shields were pressed against their shields, their swords flew up and down, their spears poked violently from the gaps, and blood mist rose up from the front, and the soldiers were cut to pieces of blood and blood!
After the infantry front, the archers from both sides followed closely. They hid behind their respective heavy steps, raising arrows and pointed to the sky obliquely. The string sounded and a rain of arrows rose! The two armies kept shooting at the opponent's infantry, and the arrows in the sky were intertwined like locusts, and the sky was dark.
On the vast battlefield, the Ming and Qing armies faced the rushing head-on, and the shouts of killing were louder and louder than the waves.
There was fierce fighting on the battlefield, and Zhu Yihai and Ming generals did not dare to relax at all under the Daqian banner.
At this moment, Fang Guoan's face changed, "No, the Qing cavalry has moved!"
Zhu Yihai looked in the sound and saw two thousand Qing army horses divided into two strands, bypassing the infantry fighting front and rushing towards the Ming army's archers.
"The left wings move forward, and the spear formation strikes!" Zhu Yihai immediately shouted.
The Ming army's spearman immediately raised his spear forward and moved forward on both left and right wings.
At the same time, the five hundred Ming cavalry who were marching outside the battlefield suddenly rushed towards the Qing cavalry.
Li Yuanyin was lion, helmet and beast belt, silver armor and white robe, and rode a straight rod, and was raising a spear. He was the first to take the lead and screamed loudly, "Select the Rui Camp and rush!"
Behind him, the five hundred Ming troops and cavalry were following each other, rushing down from the hillside, and directly hitting the Qing cavalry to press forward on both wings and gaining time.
Seeing this, Zhu Yihai couldn't help but praise: "Okay! Li Yuanbo is really brave and will be the champion of the three armies in the future!"
~~~~~~~
In the eastern suburbs of Jinhua City, the Ming army was quickly deploying its formation.
The west mountains are undulating and undulating, and the river valleys of the Dongyang River are mainly combat and infantry.
Zhao Ming was on the back of a horse, and he set up a canopy to look at the Qing army. The main force of the opponent was 6,000 infantry, of which 3,000 banners heavy infantry were in front, 3,000 archers were behind, and there were 500 cavalry on both wings.
Zhao Ming carefully glanced at the clear formation, then pulled out the reins of the horse and returned to the central army's flag.
Under the banner of the Qing army, the Quasi Tower stared at the Ming soldiers coming from the field, and his face sank, but he was not afraid of Zhao Ming.
Among the three blocking troops, Quintama did not have the largest number of troops, but the most elite troops were. Among the seven thousand soldiers, there were more than 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers, second only to Tan Tai's army who blocked Zhu Yihai.
With five thousand eight banners in hand, even if Zhao Tiebang had 50,000 people, he was not afraid.
Looking at the Ming army in the distance, the face of the quasi-tower tower showed a cruel smile, for fear that you would hide in the city and the hills and would not fight in a wave. Now that I came out to fight in the field, I would like to ask for it. And this time, you should be Zhao Tiebang take the initiative to attack!
"The command of the front army to form a formation and attack the bandit army head-on!" Junta shouted in a deep voice, "The horse army is waiting for the opportunity, wait for it to be exhausted, launch a fierce attack! Break down the bandit army!"
Zhao Ming ran back to the army and pulled his horse to establish the Daqian flag. The generals immediately surrounded him.
"Master! How to fight?" Ruan Mei and others asked.
Zhao Ming said to everyone: "What do you think?"
Wang Yi said in a deep voice: "The Qing army has taken elite troops to step forward and archers behind. The two wings of the horse army have contracted. We must be prepared to defend first to destroy our army's spirit, and then the horse army counterattack! Jinhua is right in front of us, and it is better to do something in one go and directly press the elite troops on."
Zhao Ming nodded, looked back, and there were more than 35,000 troops behind him, saying in a deep voice to the generals: "Jinhua is in danger, and this battle should be decided quickly! I passed the commander's military order, and the Jintang Guards first used firearms to disrupt the formation, and then the entire army attacked!"
Ruan Mei and Li Zhongming immediately clasped their fists and said, "I am grateful to you!"
Soon, the central army raised the order flag, and Ruan Mei and Li Zhongming returned to the formation to raise the flag, and the five thousand soldiers of the Jintang Guard were arranged in the formation.
The gun soldiers holding firearms lined up in front of them. They were in the flag team as units, with thirty-seven people in each team lined up in three rows, leaving gaps between the teams, and behind the gap was a flag team's cold weapon killer team.
Nearly five thousand soldiers formed two fronts, with muskets in the front and killer warriors in the back.
The two fronts are arranged in an interlaced manner. After the Musketeers shoot, they can retreat from the gap between the Killers. The Killers can rush out from the gap between the Killers when they approach the enemy.
At this time, the horn of the Central Army sounded. Li Zhongming, who was in front of the army, took a deep breath, pulled out his fingers in front of the waist knife, and shouted loudly, "Brothers!"
In a row of movements, the musketeers in front of the army carried guns on their shoulders, and a gun rod stood up.
"Let's go!" With Li Zhongming's order, the stair drums in the military formation sounded rhythmically. The soldiers behind him took neat steps, and the gun forest was undulating and moving forward.
Chapter completed!
