Chapter 169 North Look 6

The shield chariot covered the infantry's advancement, used archers to kill and injure the enemy, and then destroyed the battle formation. This tactic, which was always invincible on the battlefield in Liaodong, was more than ten years later, when the opponent was replaced by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he immediately lost his old glory.

This was beyond Jiergalang's expectations. After all, there were few miscalculations in Liaodong for decades. The Guanning Army of that year also crushed the Qing army in terms of weapons and equipment, and the degree of firearming was even higher than that of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, the Qing army was still the Qing army of that year, but the Ming army was no longer the Ming army of that year. The higher proportion of firearming did not mean that it was more powerful. The result was no longer the same.

The Qing army could not continue to shoot against the Ming army on the battlefield. The first round of the third-section attacks killed a lot of archers in the front row of the Qing army. The defense power of the cloth-faced armor facing the turtledove-legged gun and the Lumi gun was simply not comparable to that when facing the bird gun. However, the Qing army's shooting of the Ming army's infantry was extremely limited, and the armor-leaf with such protective capabilities was not in vain. Chen Wen sacrificed a certain degree of maneuvering speed of the heavy infantry for this.

If a plan fails, Jirgalang can only let the entire army launch an attack. There are variables in hand-to-hand combat, at least it is much better than being beaten.

The Qing army's cavalry entered the battlefield and began to harass the Ming army's flanks. The infantry stole forward in large strides. The Ming army's firearms team quickly retreated back into the square formation. The hand-to-hand combat was about to break out as the infantry on both sides continued to approach.

Before entering hand-to-hand combat, the entire army was as one, and was about to enter hand-to-hand combat. Chen Wen and Jirgalang both delegated command of the main battlefield to the generals responsible for the two wings of the central army, because their understanding of the actual situation of the troops in the headquarters was far better than the commander of the two armies.

The Manchurian Inlaid Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen Tong Jia* Lan Bai commanded the Yongjia Division, Li Ruixin, the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Irgen Juelu Aljin, the Dalan Division commanded Shangyu Bo Chen Guobao, and the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Shumulu Yild was commanding the Siming Division. The commanders of both sides, Chen Wen and Jiergalang, all of them held the Jinhua Division and the Eight Banner Army as reserves in their hands to stay at the most critical moment to finalize the victory.

The Qing army's infantry continued to advance and soon approached not far from the Ming army, and ordered first and later. However, the Qing army's grassroots officers had a lot of experience. Almost at the same time, the Qing army's sword and shield soldiers rushed forward and threw the javelins, flying knives, flying axes and other throwing weapons in their hands towards the Ming army's battle formation.

The Ming army's battle formation has been adjusted long ago, and the vertical formation resistance was a training that began since the time of Dalan Mountain. In recent battles over the years, the Qing army's throwing weapons attacks were perfectly restrained.

The thick long card with iron sheet is in front, and the long card hand holds tightly with both hands, allowing the javelin flying axe to hit like hail. The long card is not small, but the coverage is not enough to completely ensure that the dozen people behind him can be protected by the long card, and even cannot fully cover it themselves.

Now Liao Yiran is no longer the new recruit he used to be. After nearly two years in the army, there would be a squad leader who would be transferred to another battalion, but he is still a spearman in Nantang Camp, and he is still like this.

The Qing army's javelin flew over, and Liao Yiran was a veteran of the spearman. He knew very well that at most three rounds of throwing, the Qing army would rush up to launch an attack. He needed to lay the spear 15 feet in his hand as soon as possible, aim it at the Qing army's chest, and stab it directly.

The javelin flying axe was nailed to the Ming army's battle formation with crackling sounds, and Liao Yiran could even feel the vibration of the long card in the hand of the sergeant in front of him.

After the first round of throwing was completed, there was a short gap between the second round. The commander felt this gap and the low voice told the spearman behind to be vigilant.

The gap was very short. The Qing army rushed forward and the second round of throwing attacked again. The commander in front of Liao Yiran still used standard tactical actions to shelter the infantry behind. However, this time, as a javelin was pierced on the commander's right foot, the long card trembled instantly. The other javelin was inserted into the commander's eye socket when the tactical action deviated.

The sergeant fell to the sky, and the subsequent flying knives hit the Ming army's iron armor with a crackling sound, bursting with sparks. This was the second round, and Liao Yiran knew that according to Cao Dian, he was the vanguard of the sergeant. If the sergeant died in this situation, he would immediately act as the sergeant's duty and act as the protective umbrella for the infantry behind him.

"Liu Yiran acted as the sergeant, immediately, the one behind him will get Liao Yiran's position!"

During a short period of time, the captain of our team issued an order. Liao Yiran, who was mentally prepared, pulled out the commander's sword with his right hand, picked up a long card with a javelin flying axe with his left hand, and stood at the forefront of the Ming army with a standard movement like the commander.

In a blink of an eye, the third round of throws came as scheduled. Liao Yiran held the long card tightly, and one of the javelins even strung the long card in front of him. The Qing army's sword and shield soldiers rushed up. Before Liao Yiran got up, the spearman who had put his position in his back directly placed the spear flat according to Cao Dian, aimed at the Qing army who was killing towards Liao Yiran and stabbed him.

"kill!"

A shot was stabbed straight into the neck. The assassination of the Ming army's spearmen was constantly polished every day. Stabilization, accuracy and ruthlessness were just a minimum standard.

The spear penetrated, twisted his hands slightly, and then pulled them out, and everything was like flowing water. At the same time, Liao Yiran was also adjusting his tactical movements, and used the right sword lattice to remove some objects nailed to the sword shield. Although he was a little unfamiliar, he had also trained according to the Taoist script and could indeed achieve the responsibilities of the sergeant before.

The spear formation changed into a melee formation in a blink of an eye, just like the continuous training every day. The Qing army came from the north, the Eight Banners, and the Green Camp. It still emphasized the tactics of personal martial arts, and the weapons used were also to bring personal martial arts to the extreme.

In this way, the advantage of the length of the Ming army's weapons was revealed again, and almost instantly, the warriors who rushed to the front of the Qing army were all stabbed to death on the way to charge. There were only a limited number of elements mixed with some luck, thus surviving the first round of sprints.

Flashing and moving, wielding weapons and dancing on the tip of the sword in the jungle of the spear, these Qing troops in the northern green camp obviously crushed the individual Ming army's infantry in their personal martial arts. However, these heavy infantry in the Ming army, who were wearing heavy iron armor, would be affected even if they wanted to flexibly move, would easily suppress the Qing army's assault with the help of the power of the battle formation and the training day and night. Just by using the monotonous and boring attack method of spear stabbing, the monotonous and boring attack method of spear stabbing easily.

Seeing that the offensive was stopped in an instant, the Ming army's dense battle formation made these Qing troops extremely uncomfortable. The exchange ratio between the two sides could be known at all. This would definitely not work. Jiergalang knew very well. Whether from Liu Cheng or from the Qing generals who had confronted the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was not ignorant of the Ming army's tactics, but only his real personal experience.

Soon, the Qing army, which had been a long snake formation, quickly began to move towards the gap between the Ming army's phalanx and the square formation. The distance between them was not small. After all, the hollow square formation in the bureau was changed to a square formation in the unit of whistle. The coverage was reduced by half by two fronts and two backs.

After the first round of attack failed, the Qing army quickly entered the defensive and counterattacked on the front. However, the gap between the Ming army's battle formations continued to extend the formation inside, trying to fill the gap between the Ming army's battle formations.

Once filled, at least it will be attacked from three sides, and one move will move the whole body. The Ming army's square formation will not have any thoughts of moving. On the Qing army, it can continuously launch an attack, thereby completely squeezing the Ming army's square formation.

With such a tactic, casualties will never be small, but Jirgalang never cared about the casualties of these green camp soldiers. As long as they can win, they will do whatever they can.

The gap between the Ming army's phalanx formations was too large, and the Qing army unscrupulously penetrated into the interior, and soon fought with the second row of square formations. The siege was about to be formed, and there was no need to be surrounded on all sides. As long as the three sides were surrounded and the formation of the Ming army could be constantly squeezed, it could cause the tearing of its battle formation.

The Qing army seemed to see hope for victory, and the officers in the battle formation inspired their subordinates in various ways. At least in their opinion, the Ming army's battle formation had already been torn apart as a whole. As long as this hole was pulled open, it would no longer be a fantasy to defeat the famous Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army.

The battle of the Qing army was still making efforts as much as possible, and the three Ming troops responded to this at the same time.

Whether it was the two wings or the central army, Li Ruixin, Chen Guobao and Ma Xin's tactics were exactly the same. The remaining long spear formation in each battalion did not move at all, and only the firearm team and the Yuanyang formation were dispersed together and merged into each gap. In a flash, these troops entered from the other end of the opening, forming a gap with the Qing army.

The firearm team stepped forward, and the Ming army's musketeers all aimed at the Qing army in the interval and opened fire. The first, second and third rows, the Qing army, who had to use this to divide the Ming army's battle formation, was immediately caught off guard. Almost all the Qing army that entered the interval first were spared, and the subsequent troops immediately became a mess.

Some wanted to charge at the Ming army's musketeers, while others wanted to withdraw, but at this chaotic moment, the Ming army did not give the Qing army some time to breathe, and the brigade of mandarin ducks came out in an array.

Wolf wands, spears, long cards, rattan cards, flag guns, and pointed shoulder poles. These weapons that have been killing Japanese pirates unscrupulously on the narrow battlefield since Qi Jiguang's era, Mongolian Tartars and even the Later Jin army appeared again. In this field battle where only war soldiers on both sides were thrown into no less than 100,000, in this wide wild, the Ming army artificially created narrow corridors with firm infantry battle formations, and the Mandarin Duck Formation was the brave in this narrow road, stabbing into the weak spots of the Qing army like a sharp blade.

The Mandarin duck formation was separated by one by one, with wolves opening the way, covering the long cards, assassinating the spear, and raiding the rattan raid. Almost instantly, one hole after another was made in the troops in front of the Qing army.

Faced with this tactic, the Qing army, who had just suffered three rounds of shooting at the firearms team, was completely caught off guard and could not organize a counterattack. Faced with the attack of the Yuanyang Formation, they could not defend on the spot, and even retreated was blocked by the subsequent troops.

The mandarin duck formation rhythmically squeezed the Qing army that was thrust forward to the left and right from the torn hole. At this time, the Qing army was allowed to enter the spaced square formation like a mud puppet, and began to assassinate those Qing army who were squeezed.

I originally thought that the gap between the Ming army's formations could be used to divide the battle formations by taking advantage of the large gap between the Ming army, but now these intervals have become flesh-and-blood alleys that squeeze the Qing army. After the Qing army gained a moment's advantage, they realized that this was just a bait.

The reversal of the battle has already occurred. The Ming army can use these intervals to drive away the defeated soldiers, and then take advantage of the situation to break into the Qing army's battle formation with a more flexible Yuanyang formation. This is only a matter of time. It is obviously impossible for Jiergalang to rely on the Green Camp to kill more Ming troops. Now all he can count on is the Eight Banners Army in his hand and the Bayala army with only a few hundred people in Tuhai.

Unlike other middle and lower-level officers, Shi Daniu is a veteran who has been fighting under Chen Wen since the fourth year of Yongli. His class has been dragged down, but he is very qualified and has a good reputation. He knows much more about many things than other officers.

The Ming army's counterattack just now did not use artillery with more shocking lethality to prevent accidental injury. After all, once artillery is accidentally injured, under such dangerous tactics, it is very likely that a square formation will fall into a desperate situation of collapse. However, the fire guns are different, and accidental injury is only the casualties of a few soldiers. We will not think that artillery will instantly cause a straight line to kill, shaking the stability of the entire square formation.

The counterattack continued. Shi Daniu's whistle was in the upper right corner of the battle formation. The right wing was the Qing army's cavalry, the front was the Qing army's battle formation, and the left wing was the Qing army's torn forward troops. The square formation was trapped in three sides, but it was like a reef in the stormy waves. When the waves came, it only stirred up a large number of waves, but it could not shake the reef at all.

After a while, the Yuanyang Formation had already been connected with the left wing of his whistle, and the vanguard had already pierced into the crowd of Qing troops and was driving the Qing army's defeated soldiers to reverse the main formation.

However, at this moment, a Qing army arrived in the distance. Shi Daniu looked from a distance with a telescope in his hand. This Qing army was a strong man in a heavy armor, just like the equipment of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If the helmet had not been painted in other colors, he would even think that another Ming army suddenly emerged from somewhere and stabbed the Qing army's battle formation.

With the advantage of the cavalry of the Qing army, it was impossible for the Ming army in this area to lurk in any corner. But this pair of armor really surprised him, especially when he noticed that the Qing army held all the long-handled and wide-blade sabers, just like those armors, produced in the Military Industry Workshop.

"Iron Man!"
