On August 25 of the second year of Jianshuo, at about two o'clock in the night, the first collision between the Black Flag Army and the Jurchen Western Route Army occurred in the hills northeast of Yanzhou City.

As the two sides of the first encounter, the rules of the battle are not too fancy. With the sudden light of the Jurchen camp, the Jurchen elite cavalry came like a stream of water, and its momentum did reach its peak in an instant, but in the face of such a scene, the people of the Huaxia army only tensed their heartstrings in an instant, when the arrows were thrown and fell like raindrops, the soldiers on the periphery had already raised their shields, and according to the posture that had been trained countless times, the arrows falling in the air crackled and fell on the shield.

By this time, the drums of war were already beating. The formation of the army advanced and stretched forward, and the pace did not increase much, but it was firm and clear. The first regiment led by He Zhicheng was in the front, Sun Ye's fourth regiment was on the left flank and rear, and the more than 2,000 infantry in Luliangshan were on the right. In the southeast of the battlefield, the 2,000 cavalry led by Han Jing had already moved to meet the cavalry led by Mandu Yu.

To the south, Yan Zhenguo's army had nearly collapsed on all fronts, and there was only chaos on the huge battlefield. The war drums of war from the north shook the night, and many people's attention and eyes were drawn to it. The three hot air balloons in the sky were already flying over the walls of Yanzhou City, and the soldiers on the balloons were looking at the battlefield from afar. If the arrows shot by the Jurchen cavalry were like the tide rushing up, the Black Flag Army at this time was like a giant ship against the tide, it broke through the waves and pushed firmly towards the Jurchen camp on the hillside.

The cavalry array that threw arrows continued to spread. To the southeast, Han Jing's cavalry and Manduyu's cavalry began to shoot at each other, and to the south, the hot air balloons dragged by the horse team approached the rear of the Huaxia army. Thousands of Jurchen elite horsemen who came out of the camp had already rushed to the two wings, and the Huaxia army's military formation was like a huge living body, and it was constantly deforming. The shield array was tight, and the arrows continued to shoot from the array to the Jurchen cavalry in the distance, returning fire, but the entire team still kept pushing towards the Jurchen camp.

Infantry against cavalry, tactically speaking. There isn't much to choose from. The cavalry moves quickly and the formation is scattered, and when the number of people is about the same, the accuracy of the infantry archery is too low, but the cavalry has no armor and shields, although long-range shooting can give people pressure, against a strict formation, all that can be relied on is the initiative.

This was the norm for the Jurchen cavalry against the Wu Dynasty troops, who often forced the opponent back with the tactics of shrinking, and then reported the victory rate upward. In the end, the victory rate piled up to 80 percent, but once the Jurchen cavalry really saw the right time and decided to charge, the Wu Dynasty troops, even if they were in a complete formation, would always be defeated in the battle for their lives. This has nothing to do with the tactics of war, it is purely the result of an army that has no decisive heart to die on the battlefield.

However, the Huaxia Army is not the same......

***********

Rumble!

Rumble!

Boom!

The sound of drums accompanied by the sound of forward footsteps shook the night sky. Surrounded by arrows that rained down, beams of light with flames flew and fell from both sides. It's like being at the bottom of a rain of arrows.

The sound of the heralds, the shouts of the officers, one after another, and sometimes, even the ridiculous sound of human laughter.

The black flag hunted and hunted, Qin Shaoqian rode on the horse, turning his head from time to time to look at the situation around him. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army all over the mountains were advancing in companies, and in the distance was the mighty Jurchen cavalry. The team of horses dragging hot air balloons has come from behind.

Without an eye, sometimes it's inconvenient.

He frowned, no one knew. In his nervous heart, such a thought flashed.

When people are nervous, sometimes some untimely emotions flash. Jurchen ...... It wasn't the first time he had faced the Jurchens, the previous battles, the tragic ...... It can't be said to be a tragic battle, it can only be said to be a tragic rout and massacre, and the countless screams outside Bianliang City seem to still be hovering in his mind, that desperate struggle. At this time, his father's face, the appearance of gray hair, would flash before his eyes, as well as his brother's face......

He is not a pillar of existence in the family, his brother is the one who inherits his father's mantle and knowledge, he is doted on by his mother, and his temperament is extraordinary. Fortunately, with the teaching of my father and brother, I am not too ignorant. The father and brother of the Chinese family are coming to an end, and they go to join the army, one is rebellious, and the other is also because of the arrogance in the chest, since he knows that he cannot surpass his brother on the road of the literati, he cannot be too inferior.

If a man always looks at the back of another man, he may also hope that one day, in another direction, he will become a person like his father. It's a pity that the erosion of the army and the flies of his colleagues soon buried the thoughts in his heart.

What if the prosperous Wu Dynasty is singing and dancing, and the army has problems? The bandits were still suppressed. His promotion in the army was not without the help of his father and brother, but so what, if the world was really peaceful, it would be nothing to live like this for the rest of his life - but the world was not peaceful after all.

The Jurchens' southward movement weighed down the weight. He charged desperately with his trustworthy companions, and what he saw was the tragic death of his companions, and the Jurchens were devastated, but fortunately, there were heroes like Liheng, the struggles of his father and brother, and the sacrifices of more people, who repelled the Jurchens for the first time.

That time, I thought there would be hope......

And this time, he took this different team to the front of the Jurchen formation again. This time, there is no Wu Dynasty, no father and brother, no thousands of Li people behind them, no righteous name, nothing.

If my father and brother are alive, they may not like their current state too much, and they may not like Liheng either. But they didn't have it after all.

Without one eye, the world is different......

The front of the army brazenly pushed to the front of the Jurchen camp, the shield array advanced, and in the Jurchen camp, there was a firelight, and the next moment, a rain of arrows with flames rose into the sky.

The rain of fire fell with a clatter, and the tight shield stood still, it was the end of autumn, and the rain of arrows ignited the dead grass on the ground.

Liu Chengzong waved his hand, and the artillery array was pushed forward.

If it is said that in this moment of fighting, the Jurchens are as fast as the wind and as sweeping as fire. What Huaxia Jun showed was Xu Rulin and immovable like a mountain. Facing the rain of arrows and harassment, push the opponent to save the place, and directly blast open your door, the cavalry just play!

At this time, on the corner of the camp wall of the Jurchen camp, Wanyan Lou Room was looking at this scene with a solemn gaze, the other party's firearms and the big Kong Ming lantern. He was interested, and seeing that the other party had already killed closer, he said to the guards beside him: "This is indeed the most aggressive Wu Dynasty army I have ever seen. ”

In the military formation of the Huaxia Army, Qin Shaoqian raised his head and frowned slightly: "Wait......" he said.

In the sky behind the military formation, there was a sudden change, and a Hai Dongqing who flew in the night avoided the arrows and scratched a hole in the outer wall of the hot air balloon in the air, because it did not fly high. The hot air balloon is falling.

In front of the formation, the soldiers who saw this scene lit the fuse, and the salvo of artillery suddenly tore through the night sky, and in a moment, countless explosions and flames rose up, and the ground shook! Standing on the side of the wooden wall, Wan Yan Lou witnessed the power of the cannon for the first time, and he smashed the wooden wall in front of him with his fist, turning abruptly. Leave.

**************

The flames rose with the explosion, standing at the front of the queue. Chen Libo seemed to be able to feel the shaking of the wooden camp gate. He was the company commander of the third company of the first battalion of the first regiment under He Zhicheng, standing in the second row in the shield array, and the dense companions around him had already clenched their knives. Seeing the explosion scene, the companion next to him tilted his head, and Chen Libo obviously saw the other party's gritted teeth.

"What if the cavalry is strong, the enemy will defend it. No matter how many Jurchen cavalry there are, there will be no baggage, see what he will do after Yan Lou's room. ”

"The hardest part is in the back, don't take it lightly. If it is as it was taught in class...... Uh......" Chen Libo was slightly stunned, suddenly thought of something, and then shook his head. Not really......

At this time, the artillery salvo had been completed, and half of the gates of the Jurchen camp in front had collapsed, and the rest was burning with fire and crumbling. The surrounding soldiers were already inhaling in secretly, ready to charge. The next moment, the order came suddenly, it was the shout of the loud herald: "Order, all departments, steady-"

Chen Libo raised his head and looked at the top of the wooden wall not far away: "What is that!" ”

With a bang, a Jurchen soldier threw a wooden barrel down, and then saw that on the stretching camp wall, one by one the wooden barrels were pushed down, some rolled down the slope, and some smashed directly on the ground, the black liquid fell to the ground, and the pungent breath came after a while. The hillside was not steep, and the black liquid would not spread beyond the land where the Huaxia Army was located, but after a while, the flames burned fiercely, and what spread in front of the Black Flag Army was already a huge wall of fire.

That's kerosene.

In the Jurchen camp, Wanyan Lou had already picked up his guns and mounted his horses, and the Jurchen soldiers who had thrown away the oil ran to their horses, and the horn sounded, and the horn sounded loudly and loudly, which was a signal that the Jurchens had begun to hunt and kill. To the south, a total of 7,000 Jurchen cavalry had already heard the signal and began to reverse and merge, merging into a huge flood.

The rear formation of more than 2,000 people of the Huaxia Army suddenly began to shrink the formation, the shield in front was fiercely rooted in the ground, and the rear was supported by iron rods.

The middle and flanks of the army have begun to rush back, and the soldiers of the special regiment are pushing the big bubbles and rushing back frantically. And the seven thousand Jurchen cavalry have converged into the tide, and the rain of arrows is coming.

"Steady—"

Huge, hysterical screams-

Rewind time for a moment, before the cannon is fired. Qin Shaoqian looked up at the sky, looked at the speckled firelight in the distance, and frowned slightly: "Wait......" he said.

"The number of arrows is too small......"

This is the first confrontation between the Black Flag Army and the Jurchens, and all the strategic considerations are based on the premise that the Jurchens are almost invincible in the world. But the Black Flag Army had no reason to retreat - because it was impossible to retreat at all, and in the case of having artillery, the Black Flag Army also resolutely chose the most rigid way of playing, and everyone calculated many possible situations, but there were always some things that were difficult to speculate.

Wanyan Lou really considered the Black Flag Army as an opponent, and even took the artillery and hot air balloons with an unimaginable degree of attention, and evacuated the baggage and infantry of the entire camp before the first battle......

If you think about it the other way, what if he doesn't defend it?

On the right side of the front, the sound of horses' hooves has been heard, not only under the hillside, but also on the side of the burning Jurchen camp, a cavalry is circling from the side, this time, the Jurchens are pouring out.

Chen Libo laughed suddenly, and he said to his subordinates around him: "It's really not that simple. The person next to him was still stunned, and then laughed along.

"Change formation—"

The dense shield array began to change direction, the guns were pressed down, and the improvised iron repulsion horses were pushed out in front of the formation! Someone shouted: "What are we!?" ”

Countless people shouted.

"Hua! Summer—"

At this time, the hillside was spreading, a burning wall of fire, not far from the bottom of the hillside, seven thousand Jurchen cavalry had formed a momentum, there was no way forward, there was a pursuer behind.

Chen Libo exhaled the breath in his chest and laughed fiercely: "Stupid Jurchen ......"

He thought.

Ahead, the momentum of the Jurchen cavalry has become clearer and clearer-

……

Impacts are formed. (To be continued.) )
