Duoduo watched through his binoculars as his army approached about six hundred paces in front of the enemy's formation, and his face couldn't help but show a look of pride.

The Ming army's artillery was indeed extremely fast, but it only destroyed 160 or 70 carts, and if this trend continued, his army would soon be able to rush into the enemy position. No matter how strong the Ming army is, it will definitely not be able to help it.

You must know that this is still the front row of the car, and there are more than 800 cars in the back Cao Gongcheng, Gong Adai and other departments unharmed, that is, standing still, without an hour, the Ming army can not beat these cars.

Just wait for the two armies to engage and fight with swords and spears with nearly ten times the superior force, and the southerners will be defeated with one blow!

He seemed to have seen the spectacular scene of the mere 6,000 Ming troops being submerged in the torrent of Jianzhou Jingjia.

Shuo Sai and other henchmen also raised their toes on their toes: "The two red flags and the Zhenglan flag often boast about how powerful the barbarian firearms are, but I can't see that. ”

"Hmph, how can those people be compared to the general?!"

"Thousands of people dare to use their arms as cars, and they will be crushed into powder for our army!"

"When I rushed out of Xi Ming Mountain, I could take advantage of the victorious army to enter Nanjing, and I ...... capture Zhu Linmiao in the near future."

"It's like capturing the barbarian Emperor Hongguang back then, haha!"

Just as a few people were making nonsense, they saw a group of cavalry in shining silver armor pouring out of the left flank of the Ming army. This cavalry was extremely well-trained, and in less than a cup of tea, it formed a neat three-row wedge-shaped formation, and then stabbed obliquely at the front of the Qing army with the sound of military drums.

Duoduo was shocked in his heart, and was about to order the cavalry of Zu Runze's army to bypass the infantry to fight, but Wen Shuo said: "The southerners are afraid that they are crazy, but six or seven hundred cavalry, they dare to rush my tens of thousands of troops?!" ”

Duoduo frowned, and said in his heart that there were still about 3,000 people in Xu Erxian's department, even if they didn't block it, there was Cao Gongcheng behind him, and six or seven hundred cavalry were not to be feared. However, if you want to mobilize the Guanning cavalry on the flank, you will disrupt the formation and slow down the advance of the foot soldiers.

After weighing the two sides, he finally remained silent, and only watched as Shuosai sent a herald to remind the front army to meet the enemy.

Without waiting for the standard-bearer to rush to the front army, the Zhu family saw a gap in the chariot formation that had been opened by the cannon, and shouted an order, "Draw your sword!" Take small steps! ”

Immediately, there was a sound of steel sword dragon groaning, and hundreds of sharp blades were unsheathed, reflecting the dazzling morning light, pointing directly at the endless Jianyu army array.

"Fast forward!"

When he was less than fifty steps away from the Qing army, the Zhu family brother shouted, "Charge!" ”

In an instant, the seven hundred heavy cavalry under his command urged the war horses to the fastest, and rushed into Xu Erxian's army like a wild beast.

In fact, Xu Erxian had already discovered that the cavalry of the Ming army was attacking, but his command efficiency was very low, and when the low-level officers saw the flag dancing, before they could command the soldiers to form a formation, the steel sword of the heavy cavalry battalion had set off a rain of blood among the captives.

As the Zhu family brother led his troops to deflect slightly in the front team of Jianyu, he rushed out of a bloody road paved with corpses horizontally, and suddenly wailed and shook the sky in all directions, and Xu Erxian's people separated in horror as long as they heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance. The Qing army's advance was immediately slowed down.

Seeing this, Cao Gongcheng, who was behind Xu Erxian's department, hurriedly summoned the generals beside him, "Send an order, gather bows and guns to shoot the cavalry of the Southern Army!" ”

The officer glanced at the heavy cavalry that was mixing with his front team, and hesitated: "General, shooting like this will definitely hurt our army......"

"I can't care so much!" Cao Gongcheng hurriedly said, "If these hundreds of cavalry defeat Xu Erxian's troops, we will also be implicated!" ”

He glanced back, and the two white flags were behind to supervise the battle, as long as he rushed slower here, those flag soldiers would probably start cutting people!

"The last general obeys!"

As the officer left, the 700 archers in Cao Gongcheng's army crossed the gap between the chariots and came to the front of the formation, shooting indiscriminately at the Zhu family's side.

It's just that most of the weapons they have are 3,000 soldiers, and shooting them on the plate armor of the heavy cavalry from nearly a hundred paces away is no different from scratching, not to mention the bows and arrows, and they can hardly leave a trace.

However, lead bullets and arrows flew indiscriminately, killing many soldiers of Xu Erxian's department, making Xu Erxian's subordinates think that there were still Ming army foot soldiers to kill, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped.

It was easy for Xu Erxian to take the generals as the core, organized nearly a thousand spearmen, and hurriedly set up a square array. This formation is a combination of multi-layered horizontal and oblique formations, supporting each other, and it is the most suitable formation for blocking cavalry in field battles.

Xu Erxian had made up his mind, even if he couldn't repel this group of steel-armored cavalry—most of them couldn't stop them with their invulnerability—at least he could slow them down with his formation. As long as the cavalry loses the momentum of the impact, the combat effectiveness will be immediately reduced by ninety, and the big deal is left to Cao Gongcheng to finish.

However, the Zhu family brother looked at the square circle array in front of him, but he was not afraid to kill head-on.

He couldn't stop, and if he hesitated a little, the captives would regroup and continue to attack Yu Xin's main force. And if you can delay here for a while longer, the army will be safer for a while, as long as you can withstand Shen Shi, other armies will surround you, and tens of thousands of thieves will definitely die!

At the moment when the heavy cavalry at the front was about to make contact with the spearmen of the Qing army, a bang suddenly broke out on the north side, and more than 30 officers or flag-bearers in Xu Erxian's square circle fell to the ground.

The three hundred chasseurs who had followed Zhu Jiadi before had quietly touched the front of the formation, sniping the Qing army blocking the road from the destroyed workshop.

In the next moment, the heavy cavalry in the front row collided with the spearmen of Jianyu, and although the flesh and blood were no match for the warriors wrapped in steel armor, dozens of cavalrymen were hit by spears and fell to the ground. They were heavily armoured, and even though they were not mortally wounded, it was difficult for them to move their feet, which was equivalent to losing their combat effectiveness.

But as the first layer of defense of the Fangyuan Array was broken away, the captives in the lower layers began to mess up their positions - there was no officer to command, and there was no military flag in sight, most of them stood in place in a daze and didn't know what to do.

Immediately afterwards, Gan Xinda commanded another round of sniping by the hunters, and more Jianyuan were killed, and most of the square circle array had fallen into a situation where no one was commanding.

The Zhu family's brother had a vicious eye, and he singled out the joint of the enemy formation to rush and kill, and in a short time, he penetrated the entire battle formation and killed from the west side. The Fang Yuan Array, which already lacked command, could no longer hold on, and before the heavy cavalry turned around and charged again, it dispersed with a bang.

However, even though the captives in this square formation were all standing still, but after breaking through the layers of formation, the heavy cavalry battalion of the Dragon Guard Army also lost as many as seventy or eighty people, and hundreds of people were slightly wounded.

Brother Zhu glanced at his blood-stained silver armor and very tired subordinates, gritted his teeth and pointed to the east side of the enemy formation, and said loudly: "Soldiers, loyal to the country, what is the pity of this body?" May you follow me to the enemy again! ”

Hundreds of heavy cavalry raised their steel swords in unison, and shouted with an earth-shattering shout, "Kill!" ”
