"There are too many thieves," Zhu Linmiao said, "and we must concentrate our artillery to break up the formation of the enemy's main infantry as soon as possible." ”

This kind of situation of fighting in large corps on the plain terrain is the first time that the Dragon Guard has encountered it since its inception. Because the battle lines of both sides were extremely long, far beyond the range of the artillery, the artillery battalion could no longer choose its position as before, and only fired in all directions.

At present, the artillery of the Ming army must move back and forth along the entire battle line to ensure that the firepower reaches every part of the battlefield, so as to destroy the massive number of vehicles built and captured to the greatest extent.

However, if the artillery battalion is used to suppress the Jianyu artillery, it will inevitably cause a large number of Jianyu infantry to evade the artillery fire, and they will soon approach the Ming infantry under the cover of the chariot to form a counterfire. Although the infantry line of the Ming army was not afraid to engage the enemy at close range, the casualties were bound to be very serious.

Zhang Jiayu raised his head and swept the endless group of Jianyu cars, knowing that the auxiliary king was worried, but then there was a loud sound of Jianyu cannons, which made him a little anxious and said: "My lord, in this way, there is only cavalry to attack the enemy's artillery array." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Linmiao was using a telescope to observe the cannons on Jianyu's right flank, and saw thousands of cavalry wearing the same style of blue cotton armor forming an "L" shaped formation, and they were also protecting a large number of artillery in the middle.

In this case, if the cavalry is strong, it will collide head-on with the captive cavalry, and the cavalry losses will inevitably not be small.

This is the most tricky time that Zhu Linmiao has felt since he led the Dragon Guard Army to fight for so long. He frowned again and shook his head, this battle Lecset brought a large number of heavy artillery, but the terrain, fighters, and enemy tactics were all very unfavorable to him, could he only pay a huge price to clean up the heavy artillery that was built?

"General, a large number of enemy cavalry has gathered on the right flank of the captive formation, and if you attack it directly with cavalry, I am afraid that it will suffer great losses." Suddenly, a young officer standing behind Zhang Jiayu arched his hand and said, "In the opinion of my subordinates, you can first use a team of hussars to lead away the Jiannu cavalry, and then divide another team of men and horses to take the opportunity to attack the enemy's artillery array." ”

Zhang Jiayu immediately shook his head, "No, next to it is the brigade of Jianyu infantry armor, and you can surround and kill the people who rushed into its artillery array when you turn your head......"

"Wait," Zhu Linmiao was reminded by the young officer's words, and immediately turned his head and said, "This method is feasible!" Just a slight change. Then he gave another order to Zhang Jiayu.

After the latter passed the military order and returned, Zhu Linmiao pointed to the young officer and asked him, "Who is this, why is it so faceless?" ”

"Lord Hui," Zhang Jiayu said busily, "he was recommended by Xuanqing to his subordinates, and the current alternate staff governor is named Mu Yun." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded with satisfaction, "Well, the brain is quite lively, not bad." Remove the word 'alternate'. ”

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry of the Ming army, which had already been ready for battle, led by Zhao Shichao and Ma Wenhu with 1,500 people each, went around from behind the infantry line and went straight to the right flank of the Qing army in a wedge-shaped formation. And about 600 other inconspicuous indestructives also mounted their horses and followed them two or three hundred paces away, and rushed out together.

The distance of less than a mile and a half was almost a blink of an eye for the cavalry. In a hurry, the artillery did not have time to turn the muzzle of the gun, and saw that more than 3,000 hussars had rushed to the front.

Chen Tai didn't expect that the Ming army would suddenly come up and fight hard, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to ride to meet the enemy. In an instant, nearly 8,000 iron horsemen on both sides attacked each other on the flat grass, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a storm crashing on the shore, shaking the ground violently.

Then the cavalry on both sides took out their bows and arrows and reed wheels and short guns, and continued to shoot at each other. Although the Ming army was small in number, it still had a slight upper hand in the confrontation with firearms and bows and arrows.

Chen Tai expected that the cavalry of the Ming army must be going straight into his own artillery array, and was about to give the order to short the enemy with his sabre, but he saw the Ming army turn their horses and fly past from their right side.

Not good! The southerners are going to bypass themselves and turn back from the flanks and rear to attack the artillery array! Chen Tai was shocked, they really didn't want to die?! If you go around like this, even if you can break up the artillery array, you will definitely be surrounded by Babutai's infantry armor.

But he was responsible for covering the right flank, but he could not let the Ming army exchange cavalry for his own artillery.

He turned his head and looked at the other more than 600 Ming cavalry that was left behind, just as they were left behind, and left to Li Zhongxing's Green Battalion cavalry to deal with. So he quickly ordered his subordinates to turn their heads and chase after the Ming cavalry, just waiting for them to turn around and form a stall to rush and kill!

Li Zhongxing, who was located at the back of the artillery array, saw the "small handful of stragglers" of the Ming army and hurriedly ordered a formation to meet the attack. However, the southern cavalry under his command was not as skilled as Chen Tai's Jianzhou Xiao cavalry, and the Ming army came suddenly, and it took a while for these people to come back to their senses, and they barely followed the officers and ran towards the "enemy cavalry" that was left behind.

Li Zhongxing estimated the speed of the Ming army's "cavalry squad" and judged that it should barely be able to intercept it before it broke into the artillery array, but he was suddenly surprised to see that the 600 or so people dismounted from a distance of 100 paces from the artillery array, and did not form a formation, so they "chaotically" raised their guns and aimed at the Qing gunners.

Anyway! Li Zhongxing secretly said in his heart that if his men and horses bypassed the artillery array, these southern troops would only send two or three rounds of guns at most, and they would not be able to kill a few gunners.

As if to confirm his thoughts, the Ming army in front of the artillery array crackled and put down the guns. However, this seems to be undirected, and the effect of the scattered gunfire is extremely amazing—even when nearly 200 gunners are shot and overturned.

There are more than 80 cannons in Lecdehun's hands, and there are less than 900 gunners, that is to say, this round of guns has reduced its gunners by more than 20%!

Operating a cannon requires close cooperation between multiple people, and if there is no one in any position, the speed of firing the cannon will be greatly affected. By the time the more than 600 Ming troops began to reload, the momentum of the Jianyu artillery had weakened by seven or eight points.

Gan Xinda glanced at the captives who were rushing towards him, estimating that it was enough for him to lead the team to evacuate, and immediately ordered to continue shooting freely.

The soldiers of the hunter battalion were all sharpshooters in the Dragon Guard, and the speed of this reload was also extremely skillful, and after less than half a minute, everyone raised their guns and aimed again.

Subsequently, more than 600 Type II Chasseur guns opened fire one after another, and the high-speed spinning Minnie bullets flew straight to the Qing gunners, and then ruthlessly tore open their bodies and sent them on their way with a fluttering of blood.

By the time Li Zhongxing's men arrived three or four hundred steps away from Ganxinda's department, the Dragon Guard chants had already fired three guns each, and the artillery array was in shambles.

Gan Xinda immediately ordered the evacuation. In fact, there was only a few minutes of gap in the front and rear of the right flank of the Qing army, but it was attacked by the chasseur battalion's precise decapitation raid. Most of the gunners were killed and wounded, and almost all of the cannons were silent.
