When the Qing army ran over like a lost dog, Deng Shan saw a group of little swords with white cloth tied to their heads and a strange howl chasing after them, flying up and down with swords in their hands, slashing the captives on their backs.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he was very puzzled in his heart, these Japanese soldiers seemed to have only three or four thousand people, and they were so fierce that they had killed nearly 10,000 thieves without the power to fight back!

He didn't know that the earth-shattering explosion on Rufeng Mountain directly killed nearly a thousand Qing troops, causing them to be so frightened that their hearts and galls were shattered, and their morale was lost.

However, the Japanese soldiers had already "seen the world" and knew that it was just an explosion of hundreds of catties of nitrocellulose, and they had personally carried this thing on their backs to attack the enemy base more than 10 days ago, so they seemed quite calm.

This side is calmly preparing for a general attack, while the other side is in a scattered formation and extremely frightened, and the situation of engagement can be imagined.

In addition, the Japanese soldiers rushed down from a high place, giving full play to their fierce and good at close combat, which made it even more difficult for Wakda to parry. Even though some elite Baya soldiers gritted their teeth to resist, they only barely lasted for a moment, and then they were slashed to the ground by the Japanese soldiers with skillful knife skills.

The Aboriginal Australian soldiers on the north side are not good at stubble. These people have been fighting wild beasts and other tribes in harsh environments for many years, and they have developed brute strength and ruthlessness, and at this time they roar like a group of fierce beasts with blades to reap human lives.

The two attacked from Rufeng Mountain together, killing the Jianyu brigade almost instantly, and then driving the rout all over the mountains.

Seeing this, Deng Shan was worried that he would shoot the servant army behind him if he continued to shoot the guns, so he hurriedly ordered to stop shooting and put on bayonets to prepare for white-knuckle combat.

The soldiers of the Broken Battalion changed their bayonets, and under the command of the officer, they quickly changed their formation, changed to a U-shaped single-platoon infantry line, and gathered the Qing troops who had fled down the mountain at the bottom of the U-shape......

The south side of Matsuyama.

As soon as Hauge led the Chinese army to join up with Aobai's forward, the Ming army's shells reached his rear.

He did not expect a large-scale battle near Songshan, and he was in a hurry, so he only brought some lighter small cannons, but they were far from the range of the Ming army's artillery, and he could only be beaten with his eyes.

I don't know if Wakda's side is ready, Hauge frowned, but now that the Ming army has attacked, he can't hesitate any longer, just hoping that he can kill from the flank during the decisive battle.

He turned his head to look at the generals beside him, and ordered: "Suo Hai led two yellow flag infantry armor, and Wang Shixuan's Han army inlaid with red flags and white flags, a total of 12,000 men and horses to resist the main force of the barbarians. Without our military order, you must not retreat half a step without permission!

"When the two armies are holding each other, Ao Bai led the 3,000 elite cavalry battalion to attack the enemy's left flank, and break away from the enemy at any cost!

"I personally led 3,000 Horqin cavalry as the Chinese army, as long as the Xiao cavalry battalion succeeded, I will follow closely behind to cut through the southern army, and then turn around to flank it!"

He knew very well that this battle was very important, so as soon as he came up, he took out all the capital at the bottom of the box, and the two thousand green battalions with weak combat strength even only divided some tasks to clean up the remnants of the surrounding areas, and the main attack was all the main forces of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners.

Haoge looked around at everyone, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This battle is related to the danger of the Qing Dynasty, I hope you will serve your life with death, move forward bravely, and fight until one soldier and one soldier rests!" As long as the main force of the southerners is exterminated, my Qing Dynasty may not have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains again!

"If you lose...... Hmph, how can my tens of thousands of Jianzhou warriors be defeated?! ”

The captive general was also full of pathos, and said solemnly: "Serve the court, never die!" ”

"Swear to fight to the death with the Nanban!"

Haoge nodded and said: "I will reward all those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle." Those who dare to retreat from the battle will punish the whole clan! ”

Everyone around him lowered their eyes and responded "yes", and each hurriedly led the troops away.

In a short time, on the mountain road more than ten miles wide in Songshan, 12,000 men and horses of Suohai and Wang Shixuan's troops quickly gathered, Jianzhou infantry in front, and Han army guns in the rear, forming hundreds of charging phalanxes. There were also Han soldiers and soldiers pushing hundreds of carts to the front of the battle.

Suo Hai knew that the sophistication of the Ming army's firearms was far beyond his own, so he made up his mind from the beginning to approach hand-to-hand combat as soon as possible to attract the attention of the Ming army's foot soldiers and create an opportunity for Aobai's cavalry to break through.

He had only carefully distinguished the sound of the cannons, and estimated that there were only about 30 cannons in the Ming army, and this firepower density should not be able to destroy all the hundreds of vehicles.

As long as more than 12,000 people can be fearless of death, it will not be a problem to survive close combat. At that time, with the elite of the Xiaocai Battalion and the Mongolian cavalry, they will definitely be able to defeat the more than 10,000 southern troops in one fell swoop!

He took a breath and swung his sword forward, "Take the enemy straight ahead!" After winning this battle, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Behead one level, and reward ten taels more! ”

Under the heavy reward, the captives had red eyes one by one, and they howled excitedly and rushed towards the Ming army.

On the east side of the battlefield, Ao Bai was commanding a thousand Jianzhou Rui cavalry to line up in the front row, forming a wedge-shaped charging formation. The other horsemen followed them, more than fifty paces apart.

The so-called sharp cavalry is the rare heavy cavalry in the Jianyu army. On weekdays, they are extremely well paid and well-trained, and they belong to the elite of the elite cavalry of the Beijing camp.

This kind of heavy cavalry wears double cotton armor, or cotton armor and chain mail, holds a saber, and shoots from the front against the enemy's bow and gun, regardless of casualties, in fact, it is a kind of death squad-style existence.

At the beginning of Nurhachi's "entrepreneurship", Ruiqi made great contributions to the rapid expansion of Jianyu with the desperate "pig rush" charge. However, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, this valuable type of military was compiled into the collection of the Beijing camp, and basically never went to the battlefield again.

This time, Hauge brought out all the belongings of Jianyu, including these death squads.

After boosting the morale of his subordinates one by one, Ao Bai personally joined the ranks of the Rui cavalry and ordered the army to march slowly north.

He had to wait for Suo Hai's foot soldiers to entangle the Ming army, and then choose the most appropriate angle of entry to crush the enemy formation in one fell swoop.

Under the cover of the chariot, the Suo Haibu soon came within the range of the Ming army's artillery.

Several wagons were smashed to pieces by the whistling cannonballs, and the bursts of wood and shells burrowed into the crowd behind, and immediately there was a heart-rending wail.

However, these casualties are far from enough for an army of more than 10,000 people.

Suo Hai and Wang Shixuan led Bayala to supervise the battle behind the battle, and kept repeating the words of appreciation.

In the formation of the soldiers, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old recruit held his spear in his arms, and was frightened by the sharp whistling sound of the constantly flying cannonballs, and his whole body trembled.

A middle-aged captive soldier with a scar on his face beside him slapped him the back and said roughly, "Look at your unplanted appearance." In the first battle of Xingshan back then, the cannon was much denser than this. ”

He continued with a grin: "Let me tell you, although this cannon is not small, in fact, it will kill more than ten people at most when it falls. Our army of more than 10,000 is here, and the cannonballs can't fall on your head.

"Gritting his teeth to survive these two miles, the opposite side will fire a hundred and ten cannons at most. When we get closer, the southerners are not our opponents. ”
