Chapter seventy-ninth strong grass (eight)
"Tiger!"
The sound of war drums symbolizing the attack had already sounded. Since Chen Wen's soldiers from Nantang Camp shouted in unison the slogans that the Qi family army had shouted decades ago when the drums of the attack were sounded.
At this moment, the new army of Nantangying, which was replicated by the Qi family army, formed an astonishing synchronization with the invincible army of that year, and the morale of the entire army was boosted, and the pace of progress became stronger.
With a distance of about fifty steps, although the "steps" here are not the number of steps when walking, in fact, it is only about sixty or seventy meters long. Even if it is not Bolt, a normal man can run to it in 2 or 30 seconds. However, according to the progress of the Qing army gunners at this moment, this gun was obviously unavoidable.
Since it was unavoidable, Chen Wen decided to move forward steadily with the Qing army's artillery fire after discovering this problem. Doing this can not only prevent the soldiers of Nantang Camp from consuming too much physical strength, but also ensure that the formation coordination will not be scattered by the Qing army infantry not far behind the Qing army's artillery, but also prevent the wounded in the front row of the front row from being trampled by soldiers who cannot hold back the rear row.
However, this will inevitably challenge the morale and military discipline of Nantangying. After all, seeing the opponents manipulating artillery, while they themselves are always moving forward steadily, the torture of this level is obviously more likely to cause psychological collapse of the authorities.
Chen Wen knew very well that the Nantangying camp is still just a feudal army. However, on the one hand, this army relied on Qi Jiguang's military tactics to strengthen its combat effectiveness; on the other hand, while Chen Wen was enhancing the sense of honor of soldiers, he was also spared no effort to eliminate some bad habits that the army of this era were used to, such as eating empty salary and drinking blood from soldiers, officers enslaving soldiers, plundering the people, etc. As these bad habits disappeared, the cohesion and morale of the army also reached a height that many armies in this era might not have been able to reach for more than ten years.
The efforts during this period have indeed paid off. But can you easily defeat the current elite green camp?
In this battle, Chen Wen's Nantang Camp sent only 500 troops, plus more than 20 temporary auxiliary soldiers. The Qing army had 800 combat soldiers from the Tibby Left Camp and 200 combat soldiers from the Tibby Right Camp. Only one combat soldiers was twice as many as the entire Nantang Camp. In addition, there were 1,500 auxiliary soldiers. Although these auxiliary soldiers could not attack and break the formation, they could fight a battle with the wind, or as the last straw that defeated the camel when the strength of both sides was equal, and this was just the force.
Compared to the opening of the "cars, horses and cannons" such as the ExtraBall, Nantang Camp only had a "lame pony", let alone the cannons. Even the infantry's armor could only barely equip half of the combat soldiers.
With such a big gap, if the coaches of the two sides have a huge difference in battlefield experience, the Ming army's limited advantages will obviously not be enough.
At the beginning of the battle, Chen Wen relied on the advantages of the formation of the Yuanyang Formation, targeted training formulated based on the usual combat methods of the army in this era, and the ambush ambushing on the flanks. He did indeed take advantage of the first collision. However, just as the Qing army retreated to adjust its own reaction, Chen Wen's disadvantage in battlefield experience was undoubtedly revealed.
The Qing army, who failed in the first confrontation, immediately changed its tactics. Not only did it completely change its thinking in this short period of time, but it also took out artillery that the Ming army had no at all. Even those small cannons that were just stones and iron sand caused unimaginable losses to the Ming army, not only the casualties that were far inferior in the previous battle, but also psychological shock.
The military strength is inferior to humans, the configuration of troops is inferior to humans, the weapons and armor are inferior to humans, and the commander's battlefield experience is even worse than humans. So should he admit defeat?
no way!
The military strength is inferior to that of people, the configuration of troops is inferior to that of people, the weapons and armor are inferior to that of people, and the commander's battlefield experience is still inferior to that of people, but so what? On the battlefield, the most important thing is courage. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. At this moment!
The flying tiger flag in Nantang Camp moved in the wind in the breeze between the mountains as the flag bearer following Chen Wen.
At this moment, whether it is the killer team of the Yuanyang Formation, the Central Military Firearms, the auxiliary troops of the Nantang Camp, the Central Military Cavalry, and even the soldiers of the Central Military Engineers, who have always been nicknamed "toy soldiers", were carrying hoes and shovels on their shoulders. In front of the flag of the Nantang Camp, Chen Wen pointed at the Qing army in front of him with a sword, and pointed at the Qing army commander behind them, and Li Rong, deputy general of the Left Camp.
"Li Rong, your Lubiao Zuo Camp is an elite green camp that has been in the army for more than ten years, but my Nantang Camp is copied from the invincible and invincible army decades ago!"
"Li Rong, your troops and weapons are much stronger than what I have, but my subordinates and I are willing to fight to the end for the welfare of the people behind us!"
"Li Rong, the battlefield experience is much richer than mine, but I know the sufferings that the Chinese people on China over the next three hundred years. For this reason, I can use my body as a sacrifice to rewrite history!"
"At this moment you have the advantages of artillery, but my soldiers and I also have the courage to resist artillery fire. What else do you have?!"
The sound of the attacking drums did not stop for a moment, and this drum would not stop until the last charge of Nantangying.
At this moment, Nantangying was still steadily advancing towards the Qing army's artillery position under the leadership of Chen Wen. Although the Qing army on the opposite side had already begun to load, it seemed a little busy under the pressure brought by the Ming army's step-by-step pressure.
The Qing army's artillery tactics first showed results, but the Ming army immediately showed a desperate side, which made the Qing army soldiers very uneasy. The one who faced the most and endured all of this was the Qing army gunners who were at the forefront. In addition, the phenomenon of artillery bomb explosions in this era was not uncommon, so the Qing army also laid its own infantry back while shelling the Ming army to prevent accidental injuries. However, such behavior also aggravated the anxiety of the Qing army's artillery.
A strong enemy approached step by step, but the reinforcements behind him were afraid to avoid it. In such a situation, even if they knew that before the Ming army rushed up, they would definitely have enough time to fire a shot, and these Qing army gunners could not help but become nervous.
It is human nature to cherish life, but on the battlefield, such human nature still led to the Qing army artillery, just like those Ming army gunners and musketeers who were lured by the Qing army to fire artillery, began to make frequent operational mistakes under nervousness, and even slowed down.
Chen Wen didn't care about these things at this moment. Whether the Qing army's gunners made mistakes in their busy schedules was no longer important to him. He would lead the team to charge if the Qing army fired their artillery. If the Qing army did not fire, he would lead the team to charge. As long as he defeated the current Qing army, it would be impossible for his reserves and auxiliary soldiers to block the offensive of Nantang Camp.
It was only fifty steps away, but it seemed like a thousand years had passed. Until Nantang Camp entered the Qing army's artillery position only twenty steps away from the Qing army's artillery position, the loader who was so nervous that he only poured the stone in half could not wait to say that the loading had been completed. At this time, the Qing army officer in charge of the artillery did not wait for other tiger squat cannons and immediately ordered the firing.
Seeing the gunner who was facing him pressing the torch on the fire gate, Chen Wen did not dodge, but just closed his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the lines from a novel he had read in his early years - to lift your chest! They were just some shells!
Yes, that's just stones fired by tiger squat cannons!
At this moment, with the sound of a "boom", Chen Wen felt that his chest was pushed back by a huge force, and he almost fell to the ground. He staggered and took two steps back. Chen Wen felt a smell of fishy sweetness in his mouth almost burst out, but this was above the battle formation. Since Liu Bang could pretend that he was only hitting his toes, he had no reason to spit out the blood.
He forced the mouth of blood to swallow. When Chen Wen, who was holding back the pain in his chest, raised his head again, he could no longer see the Qing army's tiger squatting cannon. This was not only caused by the smoke of gunpowder, but more because two players were already resolutely blocking him.
"boom……"
At this moment, a series of cannon sounded one after another. Before Chen Wenshang could react, the two players had already fallen to the ground in the iron sand of stone.
In front of his ears were the screams of the injured and the wailing of the dying, and in front of him were the two loyal warriors who died to protect him. At this moment, Chen Wen had forgotten the pain in his chest. Driven by the desire for revenge, he carried his sword and rushed into the smoke.
The smoke of gunpowder enveloped the large battlefield in front of the Qing army's artillery positions. The smoke of gunpowder not only choked, but also reached out to see his five fingers. After entering the smoke of gunpowder, Chen Wen rushed there with the position that remained in his mind before the Qing army started running.
After a while, Chen Wen, who was moving forward rapidly, vaguely saw a figure. Seeing this, he jumped up, and his whole body rushed to a Qing army gunner as soon as he rushed out of the smoke. He slashed the guy with a sword and chopped him to the ground. His feet were about to land, and he immediately rushed to a loading hand next to him...
As the rabbits rose and falcons fell, the shocked Qing army artillery soldiers were chopped down several times by Chen Wen. However, before the Qing army could react, the mandarin duck formation in Nantang camp also stepped out of the smoke with still firm steps.
Only a moment later, the killer teams of the Nantang camp quickly passed through the entire Qing army's artillery position. After killing the Qing army that had not had time to escape, they just closed the formation and then wrapped Chen Wen in. Then, under the command of the Qiang General Wu Dengke, who was commanding four posts of A, B, C and D, to rush towards the Qing army.
This time, Nantangying did not use the third-level talent formation to catch up with the enemy, but instead directly showed the third-level talent formation, and separated the two teams with the wolf hands. The long spearmen were ranked left and right, and the card players guarded the outside and the pallet hand connected the inside. The third-level talent formation was conducive to attack, and at this moment, the Nantangyingying was in an offensive posture in terms of momentum and combat purposes. The third-level talent formation was at this moment!
On the right wing of the armored whistle, the fourth killer team of the Mandarin Duck Formation fearlessly faced the Qing army's archers. After crossing the artillery position, the Ming and Qing armies were actually very close to each other. The Qing army's archers had only had time to shoot for one round and were rushed to the rear of the formation. The Qing army infantry that reappeared in front of the Ming army deserved passive engagement with spearmen. Even the Qing army in the front row were still slowing down and retreating, no longer as brave as before.
"kill!"
He walked to the front of the formation with the Qing army's artillery fire and bows. An Youfu, who was holding a lot of anger, rushed up the battle at the moment. With the assistance of his old partner Ding Keji, he immediately stabbed a Qing army's spearman to death on the spot. However, even so, the breath he was holding still accumulated in his chest, guiding him to continue to launch an assassination against the current Qing army.
The Yuanyang Formation is a forward formation. It only requires that every soldier who attacks and kills forward must return to his original position in the formation when killing the current opponent, and make sure that the team members who drive the battle formation forward in different changes are very different, but generally speaking, they are still dominated by long cards and wolf wielding hands. After all, such weapons are easier to cooperate with defense, and the forward sharpness will not be easily damaged.
"kill!"
Another shot was shot out. Although it was the first time he went to fight to kill the enemy, An Youfu was very intoxicated by this feeling. It was not only the touch of swords and guns, but more of the sense of mission as the storyteller said, "to use the truth to fight the truth" as the storyteller said. At this moment, he had completely forgotten the matter of restoring the formation. After killing several people, he exceeded the coverage of the team's wolf wielding hands and rushed into the Qing army's crowd.
Suddenly, just as An Youfu was trying his best to assassinate the Qing army in front of him, the two Qing army spearmen around him immediately gave up their original targets and instead attacked him, the more brave Ming army.
An Youfu's marksmanship was originally a monk halfway. Although he was quite skilled in assassinating Yidao, he was a little helpless when fighting with others alone. Soon, under the crazy attacks of the two Qing troops, An Youfu had to resist and no longer have the power to fight back. After several times, the patient had to retreat step by step.
His body was retreating, and An Youfu had to constantly resist the attacks of the Qing army. Although he was not much ahead of time, he had to resist the attacks of the two Qing troops while walking backwards, so it was difficult to take care of the way out.
At this time, another Qing army's sword and shield soldier chose to target him. Taking advantage of the aging of An Youfu's spear, he immediately shook his weapon with his shield and went straight in with his single sword!
Seeing this, An Youfu immediately took a big step back, but was tripped to the ground by an unfilled pit, and sprained the ankle that had sprained last time again.
Seeing the three Qing army rushing to the ground, An Youfu, who was sprained and fell to the ground, no longer had any physiology. A figure suddenly rushed over and used the sabre to hold a waist knife and a spear. Looking closely, it was An Youfu's old partner Ding Keji!
But just when he was glad, another spearman turned his target to Ding Keji who was trying his best to protect An Youfu. However, An Youfu fell to the ground at this time, while Ding Keji's pyramid was still struggling to withstand the attacks of the other two Qing troops. The spearman of the Qing army stabbed out with one shot, but then he stabbed Ding Keji's abdomen.
The severe pain came. Ding Keji did not throw away his weapon to seize the spear. Instead, he raised his last strength to hold the weapon back and pushed it back. However, when the Qing army pulled out the spear with his backhand, Ding Keji had no strength to stand and fell straight to the ground.
"Brother Ding San!"
Ding Keji, who covered the wound with one hand, was obviously injured. He vomited a mouthful of blood before he could respond to An Youfu's call.
"Brother An, Brother Yu is afraid that it won't work anymore, help me..."
The moment Ding Keji fell to the ground, as the Ming army continued to advance, An Youfu's team of wolves finally marched closer and began to suppress the Qing army that had just severely damaged Ding Keji. At this time, another spearman of the Qing army was looking at An Youfu, who was listening to Ding Keji's last words.
The wolf hand was still struggling to suppress the spearman who stabbed Ding Keji, while other players and even the captain were cooperating with each other to attack the other Qing troops. Since the Fourth Killer Team had already emerged from the front, there was no warrior beside An Youfu.
Just as the Qing army's spearman tried his best to stab An Youfu, a stick rounded and slapped the Qing army in the face, but it completely knocked the Qing army to the ground.
"Brother An, what's wrong with Brother Ding San?!"
Hearing the question from the fire soldier Shi Daniu of our team, An Youfu, who was in tears, gently placed Ding Keji, who had been dead, wiped off the tears on his face, stood up with a spear, and shouted to Shi Daniu: "Dashitou, Brother Ding San is dead, let's go and avenge him!"
Hearing this, Shi Daniu, who had already started crying, immediately picked up the pointed shoulder pole in his hand and rushed towards the Qing army with the limping An Youfu...
The Qing army in front was defeated step by step under the attack of Nantang Camp, which was attacking frantically. The fate of being defeated was obviously destined, and all that was left was a matter of time.
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Chen Wen, who covered his chest with one hand and leaned on the ground with a sword in the other hand, could no longer support him, and his legs fell to the ground as soon as he weakened.
Chapter completed!
