After Wang Yan saw the large array laid out by the Jinqing coalition army, he was already in the chest, and he ordered all the departments to set up the formation according to the instructions, and at the same time summoned the generals to hold the last meeting before the war.

In the middle of the Ming army, in the open space where the soldiers set up watchtowers, more than a dozen generals gathered around Wang Yan and listened to the deployment and decisive battle strategy of the king of Chu for this battle.

During the march, the conditions were limited, Wang Yan directly pulled out the jade-handled sword on his waist and painted on the ground.

Wang Yan's current identity, naturally there is no need to fight in person, his sword is more ornamental than actual combat, the hilt is carved from high-quality jade, and the sword body is also inlaid with seven gems, which is absolutely literal.

Wang Yan slashed the ground a few times with his sword, and after outlining the situation on the battlefield, he said with a little pride: "The enemy army is exhausted and will be caught in the attack of our army on both sides, so

Rush to war. Seeing that Lone was in this formation, Dolgon could only change the big formation and take the initiative to attack. Facing the enemy's change of formation, this soldier is taboo, the enemy's momentum is leaked to three percent, and as long as we hold the formation and delay, it will be a big victory! ”

Wang Yan looked at everyone and saw that all the generals understood his words, so he then drew a few swords on the ground and continued: "The advantage of the enemy army is that there are many cavalry, but our firearms are powerful, and the range of the new gun is far greater than that of the Qing army's cavalry bow, so as long as the formation is not chaotic and gives full play to the advantages of firearms, the enemy army is not afraid!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will order my soldiers to arrange horses and dig trenches in front of the formation, and I will definitely ensure the safety of the large array!" Li Guo said.

Wang Yan nodded, and his tone changed, "We have a good chance of winning this time, but we are not without weaknesses. As he spoke, he pointed to the ground with his sword, and then said: "The front of our army's infantry formation is huge, and there are no mountains on either side to rely on, so the two wings are weak, and it is easy to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. Therefore, the artillery team should always pay attention, and once the enemy forces attack the flank, they must immediately adjust the direction and fire artillery to block the attack. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the artillery team will focus on the flanks." Chen Yujie hugged his fists.

Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately waved his hand, "On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, the Lone King is in the middle of the dispatch, and you will be responsible for the command of the battle." Li Guo was in charge of the front army, Liu Fangliang was in charge of the left wing, Li Dingguo was in charge of the right wing, and Li Laiheng was in charge of the rear army. ”

Saying that, Wang Yan wiped the sword and inserted it back into the sheath, saying to everyone, "We have a great chance of winning this battle, as long as everyone remembers the word "stability" to ensure that the big array is not chaotic, the Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly win!" Do you understand? ”

"In short, His Highness means just one word, 'Steady!' I'll get it! Everyone clasped their fists together.

Wang Yan immediately waved his hand, and the generals who had a task immediately turned over and galloped back to their headquarters, and those who were not sent stayed with the Chinese army and waited for Wang Yan to assign tasks.

At this time, the watchtower has been erected by the soldiers, and the banner on it is hunted by the wind, Wang Yan climbed the watchtower surrounded by everyone, overlooking the 140,000 Ming army has been waiting for it.

The Ming army has 30,000 in reserve, ready to support all directions, and the front army is also 30,000, with 20,000 on the left and right flanks, and 10,000 in the rear.

In addition, there were 15,000 horsemen on the left and right, hiding behind the two wings, ready to attack at any time.

Such a formation can prevent the Qing cavalry from attacking both waists, and it can also arch the cavalry on both wings to fight a beautiful counterattack after the Qing army's attack is weak.

"Woo woo woo~"

Just when Wang Yan ascended the watchtower, in the formation of the Jinqing coalition army that hurriedly changed formation, the sound of horns spread.

Before the coalition formation was finished, Dolgon ordered Lou to lead 30,000 Mongolian cavalry to pounce on the Ming army.

After the Ming army formed a formation, the soldiers in front of the formation, on the left and right, and in the rear, were digging trenches and arranging horses and antlers.

If Dolgon hadn't attacked earlier, Wang Yan's men might have built an earthen city, and it was possible.

Dolgon could not give the Ming army time to strengthen its defenses, and at his command, a terrible horn pierced the sky, and 30,000 Mongol cavalry skilled in cavalry and archery began to harass the Ming army's large array.

If the cavalry wants to break the infantry formation, the first thing is to ride and shoot the chaotic formation, and when the infantry can not withstand the cavalry arrow rain and the formation is loose, then the heavy cavalry will attack.

The Mongols' ability to ride and shoot was more powerful than that of the Manchus, and Dolgon sent 30,000 Mongolian archers, which was the consistent method of the Qing army's warfare, which has not changed for decades.

The Mongolian cavalry launched suddenly, and the 30,000 cavalry were divided into 30,000 troops, with the intention of forming a wave and continuous arrow rain attack, so as not to give the Ming army a chance to breathe.

Lou Qin led 10,000 cavalry to take the lead, the sound of horses' hooves was earth-shattering, followed by the second 10,000 teams and the third 10,000 teams, also rushed out, and the three teams were separated from each other by a distance.

For a time, ten thousand hooves trampled on the earth, the yellow dust was filled, covering the sky, and the Mongolian cavalry was like a huge wave on the sea, rushing to the Ming army's large array.

As the son of Azig, Lou Qin inherited his father's bravery, he lay on horseback, his eyes were like torches, staring at the Ming army's array.

He knew that as the war horse galloped, as long as he approached the Ming array to shoot a rain of arrows, and then immediately turned to a detour, then the second team of cavalry would follow him and shoot the second wave of arrows at the Ming army, and then the third team of 10,000 cavalry continued to shoot, and when the three teams were finished, the 10,000 cavalry he led had already made a detour and continued to pounce on the Ming array.

In this reciprocating cycle, the rain of arrows rained wave after wave, and Lou Qin believed that even if the Ming army was elite, they would disrupt the formation.

Thinking of this, he was not shocked and his confidence increased, he suddenly clamped the horse's belly, raised his hard bow, and shouted: "Rush! Kill the Light Thief! ”

More than 10,000 Qing troops immediately roared, raised their speed, and galloped towards the Ming army's large array.

In the Ming army's formation, a hundred households who were in charge of observation put down the clairvoyant mirror and reported to Chen Yujie: "Commander, the enemy cavalry has entered the firing range!" ”

"Open fire, salvo bombardment!"

In the Ming army's array, a series of artillery suddenly sounded, and nearly 400 iron bullets rushed out of the rising white smoke and shot at the Qing cavalry.

The cavalry of the Qing army who rushed forward did not react, and the smashed man turned on his back, and the cavalry fell to the ground continuously.

Dolgon, who was observing from behind, was shocked on his face, and at a distance of two miles, the artillery of the Ming army actually began to bombard.

In his image, the artillery of the Ming army in the field was all Franc aircraft, with a range of less than one mile, and the scattered bullets could only hit more than 200 steps.

In Dolgon's opinion, the Ming army was in a hurry to catch up, and the bulky artillery must have kept up with the army, but he didn't want the Ming army's artillery to not only keep up, but also so much, and hit so far.

In the Ming army's formation, white smoke rose from the muzzle of the bronze cannon, and the gun body retreated sharply, and the gunner immediately poked a long rod wrapped in a wet cotton cloth into the barrel of the gun, cleaned the gun chamber, extinguished the fire star, charged and loaded, and fired another cannon.

The long range meant that the cavalry could fire two more shots before approaching the Ming formation, and the ground around Lou Qin was splashed with mud, and the Mongolian cavalry fell from their horses one after another.

This made many Mongolian cavalrymen tremble, in their previous experience, in the process of charging, at most three shots at the enemy, cavalry and fire attack, do not rush into the formation, received fewer attacks, but now they have eaten several shots in a row.

However, although the Qing army was shocked, they did not stop, they gritted their teeth and charged, thinking that as long as they shot an arrow, they would be able to break away immediately.

The ground was trembling, and the cavalry of the Qing army was rapidly approaching the Ming army's large array under artillery bombardment, and as long as they advanced to seventy paces, the Mongols would let the Ming army know that the Mongols were strong in cavalry shooting.

The artillery bombardment could not hinder the impact of the Mongol horse army, the Ming army was more powerful artillery, and they comforted themselves that as long as they rushed to the front, they would let the Ming army know how powerful they were!

The sound of hooves rumbled, rapidly closing the distance between the two armies.

However, as soon as the Qing army entered a distance of two hundred paces, Li Guo, who was standing in front of the formation, shouted, "Self-generated!" ”

The shouts of the officers immediately rose and fell in the Ming army's formation, and when they heard the order, the Ming soldiers raised their guns and fired the guns in their hands without looking for the target.

Thousands of projectiles were fired in unison, pouring out like a wall, and the Mongol cavalry who rushed in front were caught off guard and fell one after another.

Lou Qin's face was full of consternation, only to see the cavalry in front of him, the war horse soaring into the air, and the knight who threw it off slammed on the ground, rolling, and screaming......
