Win?

It's too sudden, isn't it?

Duoduo, who was watching the battle on the high platform in the rear, couldn't believe his eyes, and he was ready to wait for the infantry commanded by Yue Le to beat the Ming army fat, and then send cavalry to outflank the left flank of the Ming army!

But what's going on with this Ming army? How can you lose if you are good?

Could it be that this brave king of himself is really capable of fighting? Or is there a fraud?

"There is fraud! There must be a fraud! "Duoduo is already shouting! He is a brave king, where is it so easy to deceive?

Nikan was standing beside Duoduo, also looking with a thick neck, and when he heard Duoduo say that there was fraud, he smiled and said: "Uncle Huang is wise, but we are not afraid of deception, our horse team has not moved yet!" And what kind of deception can those people make? ”

The infantry is not the main force in the Duoduo army, the cavalry of the forward battalion, the cavalry of the cavalry battalion and the cavalry of the Bayala are the main force!

Now that the main force has not yet come out, it is good to test the hole cards of the Ming army with invaluable infantry.

Thinking of this, Duoduo suppressed Mingjin's thoughts of withdrawing his troops, raised his binoculars and continued to watch the battle.

Looking through the binoculars, I saw that the musketeers of the Ming army, who were still murderous and wanted to shoot the Qing army just now, were running as fast as rabbits at this time, and at a glance, I knew that they were veterans who were very good at escaping.

The pikemen who had been pressed behind the musketeers were scattered by this group of runaway veterans, and they were using one-foot spears, which were used to stab the cavalry! If the formation can be maintained, it may be able to deal with the Qing infantry. But now that they are all scattered, the sword players facing the Qing army have no choice but to fight or run away!

Could it be that the Ming army was not defeated, but was really caught off guard by Yue Le's opportunity?

When Duoduo was not sure of eating, the defeated Ming army had stopped its decline. It turned out that after they ran more than 300 steps, they encountered the rear formation of the Ming army, and the most common infantry arrays in the era were based on the phalanx or horizontal formation, and then put out two large formations in the front and rear. Put some artillery in front of the front formation, and some cavalry on the left and right or rear of the two formations.

However, the Ming army formation encountered by Duoduo today was a bit strange, the distance between their front and rear formations was too far, more than 300 steps, and I didn't see where their cavalry was?

This doesn't always look right!

Just when Duoduo always felt that something was wrong, the soldiers in the front line of the Ming army's retreat had already rushed through the rear formation one after another, and began to reorganize dozens of paces away from the rear formation.

At this time, a lot of 3-pounder guns were also placed in front of the rear of the Ming army, and these artillery pieces were originally placed in front of the front, and the Qing army's musketeers came up and retreated, there were originally 36 guns, 3 were damaged in the previous artillery battle, and 33 were now filled with shotguns.

The Qing army, which had been bombarded, also ended the charge, retreated two or three hundred paces and began to regroup. In the rear of the Qing army's infantry army, there are still 87 artillery pieces (the Qing army's artillery lost 9 guns in the previous artillery battle) and it was also moved forward by the horse, and these cannons are where the real combat effectiveness of the Qing infantry lies!

When the Qing army redeployed, the artillery of the Ming army had been firing desperately, this time it was a cheap stone bullet, but it was still quite accurate. The shells kept falling among the infantry of the Qing army, although it was only a 3-pound stone bullet, but it could not hold too many of them, and every time it fell, it could overturn several Qing soldiers. The most terrifying thing is that some of the shells can bounce up, and then fly quickly at an altitude of five or six feet above the ground for some distance, and the flesh and blood of the soldiers in front of this cannonball will be instantly pierced by the flying stone projectiles! And after penetrating a strong man of the Qing army wearing an unknown number of layers of armor, these stone bullets flying around will have the spare strength to penetrate the second and third human bodies

The Qing army, which was bombarded by the artillery of the Ming army, was almost chaotic and defeated, but Yue Le was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he personally led the old Manchuria who supervised the battle to the death behind the battle, and cut dozens of heads in a row before he could stabilize his position.

But it's worth the price!

Because the more than 80 3-pounder guns of the Qing soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to be opened, although eight more guns were hit and lost by the Ming army's artillery in the process, the remaining more than 80 artillery pieces were still placed in the front line more than 200 steps away from the Ming army's infantry.

This firepower is no joke, it completely exceeds the normal density, to the point of excess. It was not able to exert its power before, because it was too far away from the Ming army's infantry formation, and could only be used to bombard the artillery arranged in front of the Ming army.

And now Yue Le let his infantry and artillery deploy against the opponent's firepower, thus narrowing the distance!

Once the firepower of more than 80 three-pounder guns is developed, the more than 10,000 infantry and more than 30 three-pounder guns of the Ming army will simply not be able to withstand it

Probably frightened by the number of artillery of the Qing army, before the artillery of the Qing army collectively aimed and fired, the Ming army began to retreat again.

Yue Le was also prepared, and when he saw the chaotic retreat of the Ming army, he sent out more than 2,000 musketeers and more than 2,000 archers in his hands, chasing the ass of the Ming army is a burst of guns and a burst of random arrows, shooting the retreating Ming army's formation into chaos. Seeing that it couldn't be reorganized, many pikemen of the Ming army even lost the Zhangsan spear in their hands!

"Win, win" Nikan, who was standing beside Duoduo, was already excited, "Uncle Huang, let the minions lead the cavalry to charge the battle, these 20,000 people will be rounded!" ”

Duoduo still didn't believe that he won so easily, and he always felt that there was a deception, and it was the time when he didn't come out. Just behind the left rear of the retreating Ming army, at the edge of a large large forest, a row of fires suddenly appeared, and then eight or nine black dots were sprayed out, flying towards the pursuing Qing army at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. Because of the long distance, and the hit was a moving target, most of them were empty, but there was still a black spot that fell in the middle of a large group of Qing troops, and immediately knocked down several people, and then the black spot also bounced up, swept through the pile, and made a bloody alley!

"It's not a three-pounder cannon!" Duoduo took a breath of cool air, "Did the Southern Barbarians pull the Hongyi cannon out to fight in the field?" ”

"Uncle Huang," Nikan reminded, "this must be a cannon ready to bombard the Tianjin Guard!" I didn't expect it to be used with us! ”

Duoduo nodded, "That's right!" However, if there is heavy artillery, there must be heavy soldiers, and it seems that there are ambushes in that woods! This is probably Shi Kefa's last move, right? ”

Probably to prove the wisdom of Duoduo, as soon as his words fell, a large group of musketeers and pikemen rushed out of the forest, formed a dozen Morris phalanxes, and rushed towards the flank of the Qing army.

"Uncle Huang!" Nikan couldn't help it a little, and asked for battle again, "Give the minions 8,000 forward battalion horses, and the minions went to clean up the ambush on the left flank of the Southern Barbarians." ”

Duoduo smiled: "I'm afraid the 8,000 forward battalion horse team is not enough, right?" Add another 6,000 horses to you, bring the red and blue horse teams, and drop 12 3-pounder guns for you. Remember, don't charge hard, first let the 3-pounder gun cover the dismounted forward battalion soldiers go up and attack with muskets, and when their formation is disrupted, then use the cavalry battalion to charge. ”

"Huh!"

Nikan answered the voice, and was about to go down to the lookout to transfer his troops after a thousand salutes, when suddenly a dense burst of muskets came from the direction of the victorious lake on the left flank of Dord.

Nikan stopped and looked back at Duoduo, who waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go ahead and fight hard!" Don't worry about the victory over there, it should be that the horse team of the Southern Army was ambushed by Mulima.

Lone had been worried about the Southern Army's horse team before, but now the stone in his heart has finally landed!

The Lone King will send another 3,000 cavalry to support Mulima. Fighting in the woods is brave, this is what our old Eight Banners are best at! ”

Nikan complimented loudly: "Imperial Uncle Shengming! ”
