Under the commander of the deputy general of the Zuo Battalion, Li Rong, deputy general of the Zuo Battalion, Xu Lei, the Qiang General of the Right Battalion, and several other officers were standing on a small mound that was only one meter high on the road, observing the situation.

As the Qianzheng General of the Right Battalion, Xu Lei knew very well that he followed Li Rong, the deputy general of the Left Battalion, to pursue the rest of the Ming army in Dalanshan, just to give the base camp and himself a reason to make contributions, so he always obeyed the orders of Deputy General Li along the way and never violated the slightest violation. He also knew very well that as Xu Lei was the nephew of Xu Xin, the deputy general of the Central Army, and was once a personal soldier of Tian Xiong, Li Rong would never treat him slowly.

As expected, along the way, Li Rong never asked Xu Lei's troops to do things that were not worthy of being affected, but he always took him south to pursue the remnants of the Ming army, officials, military families and people in Dalan Mountain.

Originally, Xu Lei thought it would be enough to chase after him slowly, but who knew that the Central Army of the Tibiao Battalion, which had been moved to Dalanshan, had issued a notice last night that the deputy general of the Shaoxing Green Camp had set out from Sheng County to rescue Xinchang, and it was estimated that Yu Guowang had been defeated at this moment.

This is good news. At least Li Rong and Xu Lei did not plan to go to Xinchang. Xinchang did not fall and just defeated a group of bandits. It was really inconvenient to force the robbers to rob women and goods in front of local officials, so there was no need to suffer from this. Since the Shaoxing Green Camp has driven Yu Guowang away, then Mr. Xu Daqian would not have to waste time.

This was the case, but the problem now is that the remnants of the Ming army they were pursuing were moving closer to Xinchang. If the contribution of the remnants of the Ming army in Dalanshan was robbed by the Shaoxing Green Camp, wouldn’t they have run so far away in vain?

Moreover, in this team that fled south, in addition to the military family and the people, there were also the biological daughter of Wang Yi, who had been captured, as well as the right deputy chief censor Wang Yi's deputy chief Wang Jiang, who was conferred the title of Lu Jianguo, who was the deputy general of Wang Yi, who was determined to win, and he made great contributions. In contrast, the Ming army officer who led the team was a little man who had never heard of before, and no one even mentioned it.

Early this morning, Li Rong led the special pursuit force of the Extra Biao Battalion to step up and march south quickly to defeat the Ming army before it came out of the mountain, and then return with credit. But who knew that these Ming army were brave enough to choose to be the head of the Dao Palace.

Don’t they know that they are going to face the Zhejiang Admiral’s Bian Camp?

Didn’t they know that on the banks of Siming Lake not long ago, the Zhejiang Admiral Battalion defeated the coalition forces of Siming Mountain with less than half of its opponent’s forces?

Don’t they know how powerful the combat power of this Zhejiang Admiral Battalion is?

Thinking about it, it is really a ignorant person who is fearless, especially when he saw the traps of horses, Xu Lei felt that this Ming general was really mentally problematic. Since he was already scared, why bother to block the intersection? Isn’t this very contradictory?

I just saw the sign standing on the edge of the road, and the words on it, "Those who cross the line die, don't say that they are not prepared for it." Although it is full of mockery, Xu Lei still realized the intention of the Ming army.

It turns out that they are also in a hurry to fight. Has the horses in front of this team discovered the traces of the Shaoxing Green Camp, so they plan to eliminate the more difficult worries first and then solve the relatively easy problems?

Obviously, Xu Lei thought of this possibility. After seeing this brand, Li Rong must have realized the existence of this problem. Otherwise, Li Rong, who has always been calm and calm, was nicknamed "Iron Face" by his colleagues, could he be angry with such a crude agitated method and hurriedly launched an attack?

Although there were strangeness everywhere, Xu Lei still accompanied Li Rong to observe the battle situation on this hill.

But he originally thought that after those three shots, the Ming army that was thrown behind the palace would be completely suppressed by the Radical Battalion like those Ming troops in the Battle of Siming Lake. But who knew that they had formed such a strange formation, which not only reduced the hit rate of the Qing army, but also blocked most of the attacks with long cards and rattan cards.

However, after all, he used to be a personal soldier under Tian Xiong's tent, and there was an uncle who was very good to him at home, now he was a general in the middle army of the Thunderbiao battalion. Xu Lei knew very well that the purpose of those three projections was to attack the formation, and the next spearman assault was the real focus. However, this group of Ming troops who had always been huddled behind the shield actually shattered his gratitude again.

The long card player and rattan player hold shields to defend, and the bamboo poles behind him that were holding bamboo poles and even had branches not even pruned were simply laid forward and flat. It was that simple, and the rushing formation that was originally expected by Xu Lei was so arrogant. The Ming army was not only not suppressed, but even suffered almost no casualties!

It would be fine if the opponent did not suppress the first battle, but who knew that the opponent had completed the formation change in the moment when the Qing army stagnated. In the following time, the Qing army was always suppressed by those big bamboo poles. Although it was not clear, the Ming army seemed to have practiced this tactic for a long time and seemed to be very skillful in cooperating, not at all like the surrendered general said that a group of new recruits had only been in the army for three months.

At this moment, the front line of the battlefield, the Qing soldiers who were already a little angry and angry, who were disturbed by the wolf wield, had given up the attack, but instead struck the branches of the wolf wield to prepare for the subsequent attack. In contrast, the Ming army did not sit idly by and watch the Qing army destroy its weapons, but cooperated with each other to launch an attack on the busy Qing army.

The swords were flying and the guns were intertwined. Xu Lei was a veteran officer who had been in the army for many years. Even if he did not see it very clearly, he could still notice that the casualties of the Ming army were minimal, while the Qing army suffered heavy losses if he was not careful.

How is this possible?

How could a group of new recruits who had been in the army for less than three months always be beaten by the old camp that had been in the army for more than ten years?

With such questions in mind, Xu Lei looked at Li Rong next to him, trying to find the answer to the question from the old brother under Tian Xiong's command, the deputy general of the Zuoying camp. But when he turned his head, he saw a scene that shocked him even more.

Li Rong, deputy general of the Tibiao left camp, stared at the Ming army's battle formation on the battlefield in amazement. The face, which was rarely moved by the enemy even when he was chased by the enemy or was rarely moved when he was rewarded for meritorious deeds.

"It turned out to be the Mandarin Duck Formation, it turned out to be Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation. Damn Wang Sheng, I really believe your Mandarin Duck Formation. After fighting this battle, I will kill you!"

In fact, Wang Sheng cannot be blamed entirely at this time. Before leaving, Li Rong had asked some of the surrendered soldiers in Dalan Mountain about the specific situation of Chen Wen's Nantang Camp, just to know himself and his enemy. However, those illiterate soldiers rarely had the central camp soldiers who were more loyal to Wang Yi, and the surrendered soldiers in other camps did not know much about this. They seemed extremely chaotic under the rhetoric. In the end, only one surrendered soldier said that he was good at using the bird formation and left a deeper impression on him.

While walking on the road, although he hated Wang Sheng, Li Rong still called him to ask questions. This surrendered general from Xue Ao actually patted his chest and said that he had heard Feng Jingdi say that the formation that the Ming army general named Chen was good at using was called the Yuanyang Water Playing Formation, which was said to be very powerful.

Judging from this matter, Li Rong was obviously cheated too few times and was seriously inexperienced. Chen Wen played 2,000 League of Legends in a few years, lost more than 1,900, and only cheated less than 8,000 teammates. In just one afternoon, Wang Sheng cheated more than 20,000 Ming army, twice as many as Chen Wen’s achievements in several years. It would be strange if such a person could believe what he said.

Since I found something was wrong, Li Rong couldn't help but grit his teeth whenever he thought of the words "Mandarin ducks playing in the water". However, as the main general, it's useless to just grit his teeth. It's necessary to find a way to turn the situation around the war. Otherwise, if this continues, the Qing army may be defeated.

But at this moment, a sound arrow suddenly flew out from behind the Ming army formation, roaring through the sky, as if it had stabbed Li Rong in the heart.

There is a way of a cloud-piercing arrow, and thousands of troops will meet. Only a moment later, in the bamboo forest beside the stream, the six teams of musketeers and archers lurking here walked out of the woods, lined up in two rows next to the stream, and at the command of Yin Yue, they would attack from the flanks.

The other part of the firearms team in Nantang Camp appeared from the flanking bamboo forest, and the Qing army officer who was old in military affairs responded, but the battle on the front line was extremely fierce at this time, and it was impossible to draw too many sword and shield soldiers to defend. After one round of shooting of the Ming army, the casualties were far higher than the effect before the battle.

A Ming army suddenly appeared on the flank. Although he was two feet wide, Liu Da could clearly see his opponent's impatient face. Although he had grown up, he still entered the battlefield with his sword and shield on his back. It contained his ancestral skills and was also the foundation for his survival. How dare he look down on it?

However, at this moment, he did not hold his shield to defend. Although the battle on the front line did not last long, it was indeed out of his cognition.

In his opinion, the ExtraBiao Battalion originated from Huang Degong's central army. It has been more than ten years since its establishment. In Zhejiang, only Hangzhou garrisoned the Eight Banners and the Super Biao Battalion can be slightly better. It will only take two or three years to fight the Ming army in Zhejiang. At most, the camp heads have been in hand.

In contrast, their opponent this time is not as good as the Ming army in Siming Lake. It is just a group of new recruits who have only been in the army for three months. How could it be like this situation where they are passively beaten on the whole line?

When they were immersed, Liu Dake could feel the tacit understanding between the opponent's soldiers more than the generals standing in the distance. Such cooperation seemed to be innate. Although the number of Qing troops was much larger than that of Ming troops, these Ming troops could always maintain a situation of fighting with more and less. No matter how strong the Qing troops were, it would be impossible for them to compete with one person's strength to compete with one team!

Fortunately, Liu Da was not the one closest to the stream, but it was not far away, and was on the same line as Dingsai in Nantangying. When he was shrouded in that ominous premonition that he began to hold the shield, the Qing army's leading officer immediately issued an order, since the sword and shield soldiers were not enough to defend against the flanks, he simply shot against him with archers.

Since the soldiers of Nantang Camp on the flank were not wearing armor, the Firearms Team immediately retreated to the edge of the bamboo forest after discovering the intention of the Qing army and tried to rely on the bamboo forest as a cover to shoot against the Qing army. The two long-time cards and rattan players who were still in the bamboo forest also stood up to cover the firearms team's comrades.

Such a situation must not last long. Although he is unwilling to admit it, Li Rong had to admit that he was completely plotted by the Ming generals on the opposite side. But on the battlefield, is it enough to rely solely on these? The soldiers are like water, and the way to use troops is by no means as simple as formulating a plan and implementing it rigidly. As a long general, he had already come up with a way to break the deadlock.

"Let the soldiers in front retreat steadily and get out of contact with the bandits, and let Du Shoujie lead some of his troops to respond."

Since this battle will inevitably be a failure, Li Rongshi will make adjustments, and the adjustment he wants to make cannot be the same in terms of formation as it is now. This will inevitably require the soldiers to retreat temporarily to facilitate adjustments.

It is very dangerous to withdraw troops at the last battle. If it is not done well, it will turn from retreating to dispersion. For Li Rong, fortunately, the morale of the soldiers on the front line is not too low. If it is a little later, he would never dare to act like this. But even so, he still asked one of his subordinates to take some soldiers to support him in order to ensure that he can do everything.

"Mr. Xu Qian, I want to use your troops."

Although the Qing army suffered much more casualties in the early stage than the Ming army, fortunately, the battle time was short, so there were not many people who died in battle. As long as they re-energize their morale, they could fight again. In addition to those who had already entered the battlefield, Li Rong left a reserve team of 300 people, which would come in handy here.

However, during this period, since the Ming army had more long-range shooters on the flank of the battlefield, it would inevitably continue to attack the flank of the Qing army. This problem must be solved, so he could only use the soldiers under Xu Lei's command of the Right Battalion.

"I am honest and obey Li Shuai's orders."

"The bandits have many musketeers and archers on the other side of the stream, which is very harassed by our army. I will give you a team of archers and 300 auxiliary soldiers, and your subordinates, Xu Qian, will cross the stream together to eliminate the archers and brigades who guard them."

"As for the order." After accepting the military order, Xu Lei immediately called his subordinates to move to the riverside, and an officer under Li Rong also brought some auxiliary soldiers to assist in the battle.

"Ma Guardian, have those two Franzers arrived?"

"Report to Li Shuai, it will take about half an hour to arrive."

Half an hour?

I guess the battlefield has begun to be cleaned up by then.

Upon hearing this, Li Rong couldn't help but curse this cheating path in his heart, so he had to choose a backup plan...

Just as Li Rong issued the order, the Qing army on the front line began to slowly leave contact and try to retreat slowly. Chen Wen just cursed inwardly, "The reaction is so fast" and said nothing.

"General, do you want the soldiers to chase after you?"

Chen Wen knew very well that Lou Jiye’s so-called chasing was actually just accelerating the evacuation of the Qing army, so as to leave more wounded soldiers for the Ming army to behead him. However, the opponent was the Zhejiang Admiral Biao Battalion. Chen Wen was not very confident when he was in the battle formation. Moreover, the Qing army’s flag was still unrest when evacuating. It was obvious that he just temporarily avoided the edge in an orderly manner, rather than being completely defeated by the Ming army.

"Forget it, the Tatar flag has not been chaotic, so there is no need to force it."

Many generals knew about the situation of chaos and chaos. In addition to listening to Huang Zhongdao and others, Chen Wen seemed to have seen this statement when reading books before. In addition, although the casualties of the Qing army seemed far more than that of the Ming army, the battle time was very short, and there were actually not many casualties.

"Order the first and second rows to change positions."

According to Qi Jiguang's military strategy, when the mandarin duck formation is arranged in two rows, the second row can complete the alternating position through the gap between the first row of teams.

When Chen Wen was training the Mandarin Duck Formation, he easily understood this method of transposition according to mathematical methods. If the Mandarin Duck Formation presents a vertical array, it is actually only about five feet wide; but if it changes to the formation only three, the width will reach 15 feet. Due to the need to change the formation and the consideration of reducing the hits of local long-range weapons, each team must have a distance. In this way, as long as these two rows are restored to the vertical array, it will be very simple to replace the positions.

However, since the Qing army had retreated at this time, Chen Wen replaced the killer teams in the first row without hesitation, because they suffered almost all the casualties in the previous battle.

Since the Qing army had begun to retreat, the fire soldiers of each team also carried the wounded with the cooperation of the auxiliary soldiers. After the formation, the old doctor Lu brought several fire soldiers to bandage them. As for the wounded soldiers of the Qing army, they were almost all taken back by their comrades. If it weren't for the corpses all over the ground and the blood and weapons on the ground, who would have known that a short but extremely fierce battle had just been fought.

Seeing the Qing army retreating, and some Qing army seemed to be approaching the stream on the right in the distance. Although Chen Wen did not intend to pursue it, it would be too inconsistent with his style if he did not use the retreat of the Qing army to inspire morale.

"Soldiers." Chen Wen, who picked up the iron trumpet, immediately released a magic that combines mockery and morale improvement, and this magic comes from a brand new theory. "Do you know why the flag of the Green Camp soldiers is green?"

Chen Wen, who had already laughed out loud before he could tell the answer, saw that all the soldiers in Nantang Camp showed a look of confusion, even the few trusted officers under his command, Chen Wen immediately threw out the bag.

"That's because the Tartars felt that a green flag was pressed against the heads of the Green Camp soldiers, just like they were wearing cuckolds."

"puff."

Hearing this, the fourth killer captain of the armored whistle who was drinking water, An Youfu couldn't help but spray the water in his mouth on the fire soldier Shi Daniu who was in the same team. When the obstacles that prevented him from laughing were not in his mouth, the loud sneer immediately followed the progress of the other soldiers, leaving only the face full of water stone Daniu who was quite amused and crying.

The joke has been said, and the tension caused by the battle just now has been relieved to a certain extent. After many soldiers who were quite brave just now were relieved, they were immediately vomited out by the corpses and the smell of blood in the front row.

"There are too many recruits."

Chen Wen's sigh was not yet spoken, and the messengers from each sentry also reported the casualties. When Wu Dengke added all the numbers together in front of Chen Wen, Chen Wen immediately swallowed the sigh of too many new recruits.

"Two deaths, seventeen injuries?"

The total was not twenty. The Qing army looked like it was like fifty or sixty corpses left behind. It was probably more injured. But now they have already returned, so naturally they can't count them.

Just when Chen Wen was feeling the perversion of the Yuanyang Formation, the Qing army seemed to have completed the adjustment. The soldiers of the left camp who reorganized the brigade and set up the same formation as before, and rolled towards the main position of Nantang Camp with firm steps again.

In response to this, Chen Wen did not continue to let the archers tickled the opponent, but ordered the teams that were switched to the front row to return to the previous vertical formation and continue to prepare to resist the pressure.

On the road, most of the trapped horse pits were filled by the auxiliary soldiers who followed the Qing army during the last attack. During this period, the auxiliary soldiers of the Qing army had improved a lot. It is estimated that they would have a certain foundation to be pulled to Ningshao Beach to reclaim the land in the future.

Although the road was much flatter, the Qing army did not speed up, but was slower than before. Just when Chen Wen was confused by Li Rong's adjustment, the Qing army had entered a range of fifty steps. At this moment, as the Qing army stopped moving forward, a tiger squatting cannon was lifted out of the formation by the Qing army's gunners.
Chapter completed!
