When he finished reloading and mechanically executing the order to re-team like those battle-hardened veterans, he found that the Yue people in front of him had already dispersed.

After a round of fire from the musketeers, the spearmen slowly approached, and the Yue people on the opposite side were already panicking.

And when the cavalry appeared from the flank and launched the first wave of stirrup cavalry in the world at this time, this wave of Yue people had no ability to resist at all.

The cavalry came around from the flanks and burst into the Vietnamese peasant soldiers with spears or short swords, who were completely incapable of resisting the cavalry, and many were knocked into the air.

King Shuqing saw that the cavalry was after scattering the Yue. did not pursue, but quickly left in formation, and the team was tightly organized.

The proportion of ink warriors in the cavalry was higher, and there were also many rangers who were originally famous in one county and one town, and they had never ridden a horse with a saddle and stirrups, but after training, they could easily stay on a horse to fight.

The most important thing is that these people are very obedient to orders, and the creed of the Mo family has always been "death does not spin", but in addition to death does not spin, there is also a more important "order to respect the giant, advance and retreat in a certain degree".

After the first wave of Viethorns broke up, the drums continued on this side, and the various companies moved slowly forward at a set speed.

Neither pursue, nor rush, anyway, their own side has cannons and muskets, there is no need to worry about the small number of archers on the opposite side, the formation is as neat as usual training.

When he had reached fifty paces and stopped to reorganize his formation, King Shuqing looked forward and found that the cavalry that appeared from behind had caused great panic to the Yue.

The Yue people on the opposite side were completely unaware of the existence of this cavalry, because the chariot could only be placed in front of the formation to charge, and there were no conditions for roundabout impact, while these cavalry with stirrups and saddles could go around the distance and attack from the flanks.

It can be seen that the Yue people on the opposite side are extremely flustered, with banners one after another, and are strengthening their flanks, probably not expecting the righteous division to take the initiative to attack, and even more worried that the cavalry will cut directly to their flanks.

However, after a single charge, the cavalry quickly disengaged, only keeping a distance from the infantry on the flanks, and did not charge immediately.

King Shuqing adjusted his pace, waiting for the second drum to sound, but found that the drum had not sounded for a long time.

Glancing back, I saw that the artillerymen of those small cannons were tidying up their guys, as if they were going to follow the infantry forward. These cannons are very light, of course, the disadvantage is that they are not very powerful, compared to the cannons of the Chinese army, the power is really not great, but compared to the bow and crossbow, it is still much larger, and it also shoots farther.

"Those cannons keep up, fire a few shots first and then we will charge, it should be easy to disperse the Yue people."

He thought that his heart was more reassuring, as long as he did his own thing, he responded to the words that the spearman shouted all day long: "All for me, I for all."

Spearmen line up to fight, isn't that what it looks like, everyone is for me, I am for everyone.

…………

Chinese Army.

Compared with the active attack of the right flank, what the Chinese army has to do is to hold on, hold on, and all the pressure must rely on the right flank to attract and share, and holding on this side is the only feasible way to not need to hold so hard in the future.

The nine cannons brought a lot of panic to the Yue people, but in fact, the damage was not great, and the Yue archers went forward and fired three rounds of musket cannons on this side.

If you want to achieve the effect of the gentleman's army charging into battle, you need the archers to get close and shoot heavy arrows to shoot the righteous infantry out of the gap, so as to facilitate the impact of the gentleman's army.

The two sides shoot at each other, and they can't see the morale and bravery of their respective armies at all, even if they are paper junk troops, they can shoot at each other within a hundred paces, and the real discipline and morale still depend on the time of the charge.

The formation of the musketeers of the Chinese army was completely different from that of the right flank, and the Chinese army did not seem to have any idea of attacking at all, the musketeers were only in front of the formation, and once the enemy rushed closer, they withdrew behind the successive spearmen behind, and it was not an offensive formation that was cross-sandwiched.

After the right flank had already routed the first wave of the attacking forces of the Viet Chinese, the Chinese army had just begun to engage, and after the musketeers had finished firing, they withdrew to the rear of the spearmen when the Viet were still thirty paces away.

The first wave of impact of the Yue people was beaten sparsely, and after engaging with the spearmen, they could not break through the dense spear formation at all, and it could be seen that this was not an elite, it should still be a consumable, used to cover a group of people who were charging at the elite of the Yue people.

It is suitable to watch the situation on the battlefield from a high place, and now the Chinese army is quite stable, the right flank is attacking, it is walking very slowly, and the diagonal space opened up is also filled by the company, and there is no problem.

…………

Left flank, close to the place of the middle army.

This was the breakthrough point chosen by Yue Wang Phong this time, and the elite chariot soldiers and gentlemen's army would rush in this direction to achieve his plan, dividing the righteous division into two halves, forcing half to retreat to the fortress and the other half to be annihilated on the riverbank.

On the left flank of the righteous division there were eleven small cannons, and a musketeer armed with many old-fashioned, fifteen or sixteen pound muskets.

On the far left of the left flank, there was a brigade phalanx, with musketeers holding on to the four corners, completely abandoning mobility.

The outermost brigade phalanx was slightly back, shortening the distance between it and the fortress in case the Vietnamese attacked the flanks with infantry.

Whether it was the Battle of Rocroix or the bloody battle of the Hunhe River in later generations, it proved that it was difficult to encircle and annihilate the dense phalanx of infantry formed by the opponent without artillery.

The Yue people did not have cavalry, which determined that the phalanx cooperated with musketeers and artillery to defend to the death, coupled with the specific terrain and the support point of the fortress behind, the Yue people had no possibility of outflanking from the left flank.

"Sun Bin Art of War" said that there are ten formations: there are square arrays, circular arrays, sparse arrays, several arrays, cone arrays, geese arrays, hook arrays, Xuanxiang arrays, fire arrays, and water arrays.

Now it is suitable for posing, it seems to belong to the "number array", the number of arrays is for defense, and the various departments cannot be pursued at will, so it is suitable for stubborn defense. The disadvantage is that if the discipline is insufficient, and the troops attack and attack, it will cause the entire front to be completely chaotic.

And subdividing it from the combination of muskets and spearmen, it belongs to the Xuanxiang array, and the troops are mixed with their own cooperation.

Judging from the fact that the brigade-level phalanx on the left flank was slightly behind, it was a hook formation, and the infantry was arranged slightly behind in a large phalanx to prevent the enemy from outflanking and raiding.

But in the end, if you want to encircle and annihilate the Yue people, you actually have to change from a few arrays to a goose-shaped array with one wing, and the other wing is the water.

And it is to make King Yue mistakenly think that one wing of this one-winged goose-shaped array is close to the water.

In reality, it was the mobility of the cavalry and infantry that ventured back to the left flank from behind, with one wing of the geese on the left rather than in the water.

Ancient military advisors often change formations, which is basically what it means, and it is not a way to invite gods or to be invincible and overcome each other as soon as the formation swings. Rather, it is through the maneuvering of the army's non-commissioned officers to complete the constant change of tactical concepts.

The hook line of the left flank is also to confuse the Yue people, or to make the Yue king understand that the flank is useless, so as to consciously shorten his own front.

The shorter the front line means that the more soldiers in the same distance, the stronger the impact, and the greater the threat at the breakthrough point.

But correspondingly, the righteous master can give full play to the advantage of all firepower, and in the counter-firing phase, if the two sides are of equal length, the effect of projection counter-firing is similar under the same weapon.

And the righteous teacher has more firearms, which can be regarded as a kind of play to his strengths.

It's just that if the most dangerous chariot cooperates with the impact of the Junzi army, if it can't hold on, Yue Wang's tactical concept will be realized, and the righteous division will be divided into two halves.

Chariot charge, unlike cavalry can outflank detour, chariots need the protection of the rear of the soldiers, but also need the vacans to expand the results, the role of the chariot is to break through the military formation, for the infantry to create conditions for the fight.

The scene of the 120 chariots rushing was very scary, but the commander of the chariot charge on the left flank saw it a lot and did not panic.

It's just that the foot soldiers in front will still be worried and panic.

Fortunately, the first salvo of the artillery killed seven or eight tanks, boosted morale, and finally convinced the foot soldiers that they could hold it.

The spearmen sweated one by one, and the musketeers did not bother to wipe the sweat that was about to fall from their eyes, listening to the rumbling of the chariots, and waited quietly.

Each chariot is a heavy composite cavalry.

The speed and mass of the chariot can easily knock a soldier into the air.

The bow was held on the left side of the chariot, which was used to scatter the army with heavy arrows when the chariot approached.

Holding a halberd or halberd in the back of the car, it can slash and cut the life of a foot soldier from the gap that is shot open.

Of course, Mide will not choose to drive directly into the advance phalanx, but will choose to steer when he is close to the infantry battle formation, so that the right side of the car has enough room to maneuver.

Each chariot was followed by an unequal number of infantry, with the Chu State having one hundred and fifty soldiers, while the Yue State had a slightly smaller number, and the Junzi army had to enter the battle with short swords and shields after the chariots caused chaos.

Gongzaoye knows the tactics of chariot warfare, and also knows that the direction of chariot assault is generally the direction in which the Yue people want to open the gap, and the chariot cannot be impacted once, and it can quickly retreat and reorganize the team and impact again.

As the saying goes, if the chariot finds that the enemy is not moving, it will not choose to rush hard, but will choose to retreat temporarily and reorganize the team.

In the era when the nobles were at war, when the infantry had not yet become the protagonist of the battlefield, every impact of the chariot battle did not bring too many casualties, and most of them were routs.

For example, in the battle of Chengpu, when the left and right flanks of the Chu army were exposed and broken, most of them could escape.

For example, in the battle of Liangtang, when the Jin people retreated, the Chu people did not forget to politely tell the Jin people to take off the carriage board and put it on the mat in the mud pond to escape.

But now that the commoners have stepped onto the stage of war and are gradually beginning to take the lead, this game between the nobles is no longer so polite.

Just as when the Yue Ren challenged before, it was appropriate to think that the era of nobility should pass. And now what Gongzao Ye wants is also relying on this battle, telling the righteous master that the foot soldiers can defeat the chariot, and completely proclaim the world materially: there is no need for the chariot war aristocracy to exist.

As early as soon after discovering the main direction of attack of the Vietnamese chariots, Shi immediately let the most elite Mojia brigade maneuver to the left, which is equivalent to the reserves that have just been mobilized at the start of the war, and there is no way, once the chariot breaks through, the whole army will fall into a bitter battle.

Now the most elite infantry brigade of the Mo family is still behind, and it has not yet been deployed on the front line, and it cannot be deployed, so it can only wait until there is a problem to go up immediately.

Gong Zaoye calmed down, ordered the artillerymen to replace them with gravel and iron balls, and when the chariot had rushed to fifty paces, he fired again, and then retreated behind the foot soldiers.

The chariot will not come up and charge at full speed, you need to wait for the apprentices behind to follow, and start to accelerate when it is about a hundred paces, and when it rushes to the front of the formation, it is exactly the maximum speed.

When the chariot was still about a hundred paces away from the righteous division and was about to accelerate, Gongzaoye ordered the musketeers to start shooting.

Most of these musketeers were armed with heavy muskets, which were very weak in attack, and the infantry spearmen on this side were also thicker, and the musketeers were only for defense.

Gongzaoye was sure that as long as there were no cavalry on the flanks, the spear array was enough to support the attack of the frontal chariots, and the Yue people did not have cavalry in the first place.

The heavy musketeers in the front row were already a little nervous, after all, they were facing the impact of the chariot, although they had been trained in peacetime, but how could they not panic when they really went to the battlefield?

When the first round of artillery was fired, the tension was suppressed a lot, but now that the sound of the chariot was getting closer, many people couldn't help but want to shoot.

If it weren't for the loud shouts of the ink artists of each company to stop it, I am afraid it would have caused a chain of chaos.

In anticipation, when Gongzaoye finally gave the order to open fire, the heavy gunners in the front row pulled the copper hook with their sweaty fingers, wiped their sweat in the smoke, and quickly retreated to reload.
