On the east bank of the Lingxi landing site, the troops crossing the river were still trying to seize every time to transport soldiers, weapons, ammunition, etc. to the other side, to enhance even a slight force for the first and second infantry bureaus of Nantangying, which had already had fire with the Qing army.
Taking advantage of the period when the Qing army marched and rested, the Ming army on the east bank not only transported the tiger squat cannons, the accompanying gunners, the big shield players, etc. to the other side, but also sent the first two sentries of the third round. At this moment, more than half of the last two infantry sentries of the third round had boarded the raft. At present, the Ming army was in a situation where it was only possible to transport the infantry over quickly that it could be possible to defend this place, and not be divided by the Qing army or drove the crossing troops into Lingxi.
He raised his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his military uniform. The military judge once again confirmed the military order brought back by the messenger in charge of contact. The corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, but he had to order another change to prepare for Li Ruixin's counterattack plan.
However, before he could give his order, a series of loud artillery fire suddenly broke out in front of the Qing army on the other side, and immediately blocked his order that he was about to exit.
……………………
According to the old system of the Qi family army, the number of tiger squat cannons carried by infantry battalions was three per 500 soldiers. However, for Chen Wen, his opponent was not the kind of Japanese pirates and Mongolian Tartars who did not have artillery, and he did not have the intention to train the artillery battalions for the time being, so it was changed to four in each infantry bureau, and a Folang machine cannon was also equipped. However, in terms of division, it did not belong to the bureau unit, but to the battalion artillery team.
Such an organization has reached the limit of stock seized in previous operations, especially in the Battle of Xiaoshun Town. If the Ming army had not won the victory and occupied the battlefield, the artillery team organization of the two battle camps of Yiwu and Dongyang would probably still be unable to be completed.
However, the Qing army they were facing at this moment was the Biao Battalion of Zhejiang and Fujian Governors. Not only was it an elite force among the Zhejiang Green Camp. Its commander Chen Jin was also from the Guanning Army in the late Ming Dynasty, and his understanding of firearms was far greater than that of his peers. Even Tian Xiong could not compare with him.
After the Ming army achieved a volley with bows, arrows, muskets and tiger squat cannons, the Qing army's battle formation was immediately submerged in the smoke of gunpowder. The Ming army, whose vision was blocked, could only sense the wailing sound of the injured Qing army and the Qing army's movement behind the smoke of gunpowder.
When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, the Qing army in front of them didn't care about lifting all the wounded into the formation, and directly lifted the reloaded tiger squat cannon they carried from behind the formation to the formation, igniting the fire gate in the shocked gaze of Ming army!
The Qing army marched in a hurry, carrying a large number of tiger squat cannons, but they were also small cannons weighing dozens of kilograms like the Ming army. However, when these tiger squat cannons sprayed iron sand and stones at the same time, they swept towards the Ming army's battle formation like raindrops that changed the direction of the fall. ﹎﹍w·w·w·.|·
In front of the Ming army's formation, the large shield players who performed cover missions were still guarding there. When the cannons fired by the tiger squat cannons of the Qing army were scattered towards the Ming army's battle formation like heavy rain, a series of hail-like sounds were made on these large shields made of thick wooden boards wrapped in iron sheets, and some stones even broke the shields at one point, but in the process, the kinetic energy was completely exhausted, so that they could not do anything to the large shield players behind them.
However, the big shield player was unable to cover the entire battle formation in the end, and the moment when the Qing army used gun smoke to cover the battle formation. The firearms team in the front row of the Ming army had not yet retreated behind the infantry team and were instantly covered by the Qing army's cannons.
A moment later, wailing sounds came from the Ming army formation. In front of the battle formation that was not covered by the big shield, there were many Ming army shooters who were injured by tiger squatting cannons, and even directly hit the vital point and died. So much so that the entire Ming army's battle formation was like a wolf-toothed dog, and it was no longer as uniform as before.
Close shooting was a trick Chen Wen used in the battle of Xiaoshun Town. He quickly destroyed the formation of the Green Camp of the Four Mansions, achieving the tactical purpose of defeating the current opponent before the Super Biao Camp defeated the Yiwu Camp.
But at this moment, the Super Biao Battalion directly copied this tactic that did not require much training and had no technical content, and even directly applied it to the Ming army. In the eyes of the Qing army, perhaps it was to treat the other person with his own way, but it also instantly ignited the anger of Li Ruixin, the commander of Nantang Camp.
The origin of a cavalry general made him more keen on attack than defense, but the Ming army is at an absolute disadvantage at the moment. According to Chen Wen's approach in the battle behind Simingshan Palace, the possibility of a defensive counterattack would be higher, so he had to withstand the attack from the Qing army here. But who knew that after Wang Sheng replicated the organization of Lao Nantang Camp, the Qing army in Zhejiang was even more shameless to plagiarize Chen Wen's tactics. If it weren't for the purpose of stabilizing the morale of the army, he would not have ridden his dark clouds and snow. At this moment, Li Ruixin would have wanted to ride a horse into the enemy formation and chop Chen Jin's dog head to vent his anger.
The casualties of the Ming army were still unknown during this volley. At the moment of signing the flag, the soldiers of the Firearms Team supported the wounded and retreated to the front line with the fire soldiers who had already rushed over. Even the gunners and the big shields dragged the tiger squat cannons to alternately cover the retreat.
He lowered his head and asked the messenger, and only then did he realize that the things he had ordered to be transported as soon as possible seemed to have just been loaded, and it would take some time before the counterattack. He suppressed this anger and Li Ruixin immediately ordered the infantry team to come forward to respond. But at this moment, the Qing army, which had just completed the artillery bombardment, began to advance again, and the speed of the march was even better than before.
In a moment, just as the Ming army strongly relied on the infantry team to cover the wounded, firearms team, gunners and big shields behind them, the Qing army quickly passed the tiger squat cannons that had just fired.﹎w-w·w`.|=
After a few breaths, the spearmen in the front row of the Qing army shouted and charged forward, ran for a few meters, and quickly stopped, and then squatted down. At this time, the two rows of swords and shield soldiers in the back were already holding javelins, flying axes and other throwing weapons quickly ran out from the interval between each soldier in the front row, and threw the weapons out the moment they passed the spearmen.
The javelins in the sky drew parabolas one by one, and the flying axes were aimed directly at the Ming army in the distance and flew over. After that, the spearmen and swords and shield soldiers from the Supervisors rushed up shouting.
The Qing army's projection quickly covered the front row of the Ming army. At this time, the Ming army, who had just completed the cover mission, immediately squatted down and set off a vertical formation when undergoing compression training on weekdays under the cover of two newly established long players and two rattan players who replaced the palladium boring player.
In an instant, the Qing army's javelins and flying axes were densely erected on the Ming army's shields, and more were inserted into the open space between the columns of each team. Under the protection of the four shields, the Ming army, which maintained the column, suffered much less casualties than the simple protection of relying on a long card and a rattan card last year. But at this moment, the Qing army of the brigade had already rushed up and aimed its weapons at the Ming army that had not yet had time to change the formation.
The two armies fought. Especially for infantry, formation was the top priority. The Ming army under Chen Wen used to rely on wolf slugs to curb the enemy's charge and complete the formation change. However, now, the wolf slugs in the newly formed long spear formation no longer exist. At this time, most of the Qing troops in the Supervising Battalion participated in the Battle of Xiaoshun Town. Seeing that the wolf slugs that once gave them great pressure seemed to be still in the back of the Ming army's battle, the Qing army immediately rushed forward with weapons, trying to suppress the Ming army that had not yet changed its formation.
But at this moment, with the order behind the formation, the spears that had been standing upright in the longitudinal formation immediately gradually became flat, but the more they reached the back, the more they moved to the outside.
In this moment, one peacock-like fan after another was formed, covering the entire battle formation. Behind them, teams of Mandarin Duck Formation Killers replenished the two wings of each spear formation Killer Team, forming a guard shape. On the contrary, those spear formation Killers Teams seemed to have never had the idea of changing the formation.
The Ming army's spear was five meters long, the same length as the wolf wicket. The moment it was laid flat, some Qing troops who had not had time to hold back were immediately stabbed, and even some Qing troops who had already held back were hit by the Qing army behind them. They were strung on the spear. For a moment, only a few lucky soldiers in the front row escaped the disaster by falling.
The Qing army's charge was unsustainable. The next second, the spearmen in the front row of the Ming army took back a part of the angle and formed half-open fans, while the killers of the mandarin duck formation quickly replenished in, thus forming a jagged-shaped line.
In the new organization of the Ming army, the odd infantry team in each post were the Yuanyang Formation Killer Team, while the even number was the Long Spear Formation Killer Team. In this way, a heroic unit in Nantang Camp, the Fourth Yuanyang Formation Killer Team in the Former Armor Formation, was adapted into the Long Spear Formation.
The captain of the new Fourth Infantry Team was named Luo Yongzhong. He served as a temporary auxiliary soldier in the Battle of Simingshan Palace. Because of his bravery in combat, he was added to Nantang Camp during the expansion of the army in Tiantai Mountain. After that, he had to go to almost every battle and made many military achievements, so that he could have the opportunity to surpass some soldiers who joined Nantang Camp earlier than him to become the captain of this old infantry team.
At this moment, the fourth infantry team of the armored whistle was located in the center of the battle formation. The first round of charge of the Qing army had been curbed. With the sound of the war drum, the Ming soldiers in the battle formation shouted loudly, "Tiger!" and launched an attack on the Qing army in front of them with their spears.
At this moment, the front row of the Qing army was full of swords and shield soldiers who were good at fighting and spearmen holding seven or eight feet long spears. As the spear formation of the fourth infantry was approaching, these Qing soldiers had to retreat step by step. As the commander of the team, the long-standing players who controlled the rhythm of the battle formation advance and retreat, the former fire soldiers and stone giants were walking in their paces sweating, intending to keep on the same line as the surrounding infantry teams, so as not to break ahead or press back, affecting the neatness of the battle formation.
After a short distance, after some spearmen assassinated a very small number of Qing troops who had not had time to escape, the Qing troops, which were originally in the front row, entered the formation. At this time, a row of long spearmen quickly made up and intersected with the spears in the hands of the Ming army, who had relied on longer weapons.
After a moment of stagnation, the Ming and Qing armies quickly began to stab each other. Improved from the Yuanyang Formation, the Ming army still maintained a relatively dense battle formation. In order to make the fight and the sword and shield attack more convenient, the Qing army still left a certain distance between each army. In this way, although the length of the weapons of the Qing army was not inferior, the number of local battlefields was still at a disadvantage. They could only gradually defeat the Ming army in the war of attrition with the overwhelming advantage of their troops.
The battle formation had stalled. The captain Luo Yongzhong behind him had already called on the archers in the firearms team to shoot and put the long card in front of him. The spearhead of the Qing army's spearman directly pierced the spearhead on his long card, pushing the stone bigniu Langzai. If it weren't for being strong and powerful, if it were not done well, it would have been pushed to the ground by the Qing army, thus leaking the spearman behind him.
Perhaps he used too much force, and the head of the Qing army's spear was stuck on the long card and could not be pulled out for a while. The shouts around him intertwined, and Shi Daniu turned the long card to the left. The Qing army successfully pulled out the head of the spear with this force, but he fell to the ground and was immediately stabbed by the two Ming army spearmen behind Shi Daniu, and he stopped breathing again.
After removing this burden, Shi Daniu quickly protected the long card in front of him. At the moment he withdrew the long card, a Qing army beside the Qing spearman who had just been stabbed to death with his backhand stabbed the spear at him who had revealed his flaws.
With such a long spear, stinging is the best means of attack. Not only did the Ming army soldiers train this method for a long time, but the Qing army in front of them was obviously immersed in this way for a long time. The spear's stinging was extremely rapid. Before Shi Daniu could block the long card again, the spear had already burst into his chest.
The next second was death. Shi Daniu, who was extremely frightened, hurriedly dodged to the left, and the spear was immediately inserted into his right arm. In the severe pain, Shi Daniu could no longer hold the knife in his hand, and quickly threw the long card down, and used his left hand to pull the spear's spear out of his right arm that had lost consciousness. However, he had just thrown the long card, and the other spear that had just been filled up also stabbed and headed straight for his face.
Before his arm was broken, another spear stabbed over, and behind him was the Ming army spearman who was still performing assassination, and there was no way out. Seeing this, Shi Daniu had to turn his head and let Qiangqiang pass the spear tip of the spear through the door, but a deep bone-showed wound was cut across his cheek.
The pain from the wound on the left cheek came. Shi Daniu didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly held the spear on his right arm with all his might, preventing the Qing army opposite from turning the spear head. Then he endured the severe pain and took his arm out of the spear head, and then sat down on the ground. At this moment, a rattan card on the side of the wing of the team rushed over, blocking the spear that had stabbed him again, and protecting him behind him. It was not until the fire soldiers of the team dragged him back for a distance before barely getting out of danger.
The war of attrition on the battlefield continued, and people fell down almost every moment, but there were few as lucky as Shi Daniu. Although the Ming army's spearmen were more and more trained on local battlefields and were more well-trained, the Qing army's troops had an overwhelming advantage.
Seeing that the front was unable to break through effectively, the Qing army immediately began to extend the formation towards the river beach on the left wing and the woods on the right wing, trying to form a siege. At this time, the Ming army had to invest the third game that had just been transported as a reserve team on the battlefield to ensure that the Qing army's offensive could be blocked.
Although the Ming army completely transported the third game during this period, the Qing army's strength was more than twice that of the Ming army crossing the river. Such a war of attrition was difficult to last, but it was still quite time before dark. Moreover, if the Qing army could gain an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, it would inevitably fight at night, and the Ming army would still have no hope of victory.
As time goes by, the Ming army in the front row consumed their physical strength during the continuous stabbing, and their bodies became increasingly tired. Although the Qing army suffered more casualties, it still maintained an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
Due to the division of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the Ming army was unable to throw its troops into the battlefield at one time, and could only continuously fill in the damage. The increasing situation began to be unfavorable to the Ming army. Perhaps it would not take long for the Ming army to collapse after excessive damage. But at this moment, I heard a creaking sound, and the two killers in the middle of the formation immediately made way.
