Wu Sangui's original plan was to shoot at the Ming army with the fire gun team, and the melee infantry army hid behind the fire gun team, and when the fire gun team beat the Ming army's front on the opposite side into a messy manner, and could not form a continuous platoon bombardment, the melee infantry army behind rushed out of the gap between the Jin army's fire gun team and directly crashed into the Ming formation.

At that time, the Ming army's musketeers will definitely be killed and wounded under the fire, the front line will inevitably be scattered, the firepower will be weakened, and the Jin army's melee infantry will definitely be able to rush to the Ming army in close combat, and once close to the Ming army's front, the Jin army's non-commissioned officers can chop melons and vegetables.

Under the impact of the Jin army's foot soldiers, the Ming army's gunners will inevitably open the front, and then his cavalry will have a chance.

Wu Sangui's idea is very good, and he is also very confident in himself, but in the specific implementation, there is one link missing, that is, the platoon that should have appeared did not appear.

The Golden Army's Guns collapsed unexpectedly quickly, and they retreated in defeat without giving the melee-fighting infantry behind them time to move forward.

In this way, the plan of the Jin army was completely frustrated.

After the rout dispersed, in front of the melee phalanx of the Jin army, there was a line of infantry of the second line of the Ming army, and a line of line infantry of the third front behind.

These two fronts were behind the first, did not take much damage on the march, and were now fully formed and almost full.

Facing the Ming army advancing like a wall, the fifteen-thousand-gold army led by He Chengzhi suddenly became embarrassed.

The Jin army's cold weapon establishment was much higher than that of the Ming army, and they did not have much strength to shoot the Ming army at a long distance, and they could only show their strength in close combat.

At this time, the Ming army front that advanced to a hundred steps away, all raised their firearms, the copper cannons on both sides fired from time to time, and the iron bullets splashed up in front of the Jin army array, and the Jin army formation was punched out of several gaps.

In the face of the Jin army's melee phalanx, the Ming army did not choose to shoot at close range, but chose a longer distance and blocked the attack with guns to prevent the Jin army from close combat.

At this time, the Jin army stood in place and waited for death, and now they either quickly retreated and escaped from the range of the Ming army's guns, or they immediately rushed forward to stop the Ming army's guns.

Wu Sangui's choice is to let the infantry army go up, and now it is too late to retreat, and the infantry army will definitely be finished, so it is better to let the Jin army infantry fight, maybe the situation can be reversed.

In the infantry battle, the horizontal formation restrained the phalanx, and the fifteen-thousand-gold army could not control the formation at this time, and rushed forward like a flood that broke the embankment.

The Jin army's array, which was like a black tofu block, suddenly disintegrated into dense black dots and rushed towards the embankment formed by the red Ming army.

In the face of the muskets raised by the Ming army, the Jin soldiers felt fear, and the fear made them charge forward bravely, wanting to hack the Ming army to death before the Ming army pulled the trigger, but the distance was a horizontal ditch that they could not jump over.

Wu Sangui rode a horse and stood in the rear, stretching his neck to look around, holding the horsewhip and reins tightly in his hand, and couldn't help but muttered silently in his heart, "Hurry up, He Chengzhi rushed up to this king and disrupted the front of the Ming thief!" ”

The golden generals almost stopped breathing, stood on the stirrups, straightened up and looked around, a pair of eyes stared at the rushing infantry soldiers, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Old why fight for breath!" ”

In the face of the oncoming Jin army foot soldiers, the Ming army general whistled, and then shouted, "Release!" ”

The second front of the Ming army advanced fifty paces after the first front, and in the process of marching, it did not suffer much shelling, and the projectiles fired by the Jin army were basically blocked by the soldiers of the first front, so their formation was very complete.

With the roar of the officer, a row of guns sounded, and the soldiers who had released the guns immediately retreated, and the soldiers in the second row stepped forward with guns and aimed and shot, and suddenly there was another "bang bang bang".

The Jin soldiers who rushed forward were beaten and fell to the ground again and again, and the soldiers' bodies shook like chaff and fell to the ground.

On the flanks, the artillery of the Ming army moved forward with the entire front, and the four horses of the artillery were quickly dragged forward, making rumbling cannons on both sides, raising clouds of white smoke, and cooperating with the platoon guns in front to strangle the Jin army that rushed forward.

A Jin sergeant followed the flag captain and charged forward, and when the first row of guns hit, the flag captain in front was killed, and then the comrades next to him also suddenly fell to the ground, and the body was left behind by the advancing team.

The close soldiers of the Jin army died in large numbers before they got close to the Ming army, and a small number of gunners rushed to the front of them, kneeling on one knee and shooting at them, and there were gaps in the Ming army's front line, but immediately there were soldiers to fill in and continue to bombard the Jin army.

Thirty steps seemed to have become a limit for the Jin soldiers with cold weapons, and a large number of soldiers were killed by the Ming army's platoon within this distance.

In the sound of "bang bang bang", Wu soldiers fell to the ground one after another, many soldiers rushed to the ground, the comrades in front of him and the brothers on both sides died, and only his mother himself rushed forward again, and many soldiers couldn't help but stop.

Seeing the infantry rushing up and hitting the wall, it seemed that it could not shake the Ming army's front at all, after the forward was frustrated, the infantry offensive was stagnant, Wang Pingfan pointed to the infantry army that was rushing up in the field, suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but say urgently: "It's not good, He Chengzhi can't stand it!" ”

The Jin army infantry relied on a breath and wanted to rush up to close combat, but now they couldn't rush up, their comrades fell down in pieces, the soldiers were blown by the wind, their blood cooled, and when they saw the corpses in a place, they immediately calmed down, and as soon as they calmed down, there were deserters.

Seeing that He Chengzhi was about to be defeated by the platoon, Wu Zhimao next to him also shouted anxiously: "The infantry army is going to be defeated." ”

The situation on the southern front, almost instantaneously, completely collapsed.

From the defeat of Guo Tianchun's team to the infantry led by He Chengzhi, the defeat was leaked, and it added up to a soaking in urine.

This is a chain reaction, also known as defeat.

If the infantry army can rush up to close combat, then the situation will still have a turnaround, but once they can't rush up, there are many dead, and the Jin sergeant found that the forward rush was just to send them to death, and the morale was immediately discharged.

At this time, if no one can stabilize the situation, so that the soldiers have time to withdraw and rectify, and stabilize their positions from scratch, then the Jin army will be completely defeated, and Wu Sangui's 30,000 infantry army will be completely destroyed.

At this time, the aura of danger came, and at the moment of crisis, Wu Sangui couldn't help but turn his head and look to the west, but the reinforcements he was looking forward to did not appear.

This made Wu Sangui have an ominous premonition in his heart, Haoge would not think about taking the opportunity to consume him, let's kill two birds with one stone.

Wu Sangui shook his head, driving away the suspicion in his heart, at this critical juncture, if he hesitated a little, the entire infantry formation would be completely defeated, and there would be no chance to retract it.

Wu Sangui's face sank, and he immediately shouted: "Wang Pingfan, you gather your men and horses, reorganize the infantry on the front line of Lishan, and the rest of the people will rush with this king to stabilize the army." ”

At the critical moment, Wu Sangui decided to attack with cavalry, giving the infantry a chance to retreat and reset the defensive line.

Wu Sangui can be said to be desperate this time, today he is in charge of the southern front corps of the Jin army, and he knows that the responsibility is heavy, once he retreats, the Jin country will be over, and he, the king of Shu, has nothing to do.

Now Wu Sangui can only hope that he will temporarily drag the Ming army's attack, wait for Haoge's reinforcements to arrive, and be able to reset a front in the Lishan area, with the help of the terrain, or wait for Meng Qiaofang on the northern front to make progress.

At this time, Wu Sangui gave an order, and the horse lance in his hand slapped on the buttocks of the war horse, the war horse was in pain, and with a long fight, he rushed out like lightning, and nearly 30,000 horse troops behind him did not hesitate, and shouted like an angry tide, and then divided into two groups, bypassing the infantry army in front of him, and rushed towards the Ming army front.

In the Ming army, Tan Tai and Zhang Cunren each had 3,000 horse troops, which were behind the two wings of the Ming army.

These 6,000 horse troops were the only remaining family funds in the hands of the Ming army, and Wang Yan handed them all over to Li Guo in order to increase the chances of victory on the southern front.

The role of these two cavalry is to protect the large array.

Li Guo saw Wu Sangui's cavalry rushing out and used up all the hole cards, and immediately did not hesitate, waved his hand: "Let the horse army attack!" ”
