The terrain of the Jinzhong Basin is very flat, which is very suitable for large corps to spread out and fight, especially for cavalry.

Ma Wannian, the forward general of the White Pole Army, saw that the enemy troops were swarming, but he did not take a defensive position, and opposed the herald and said loudly: "Order, the infantry battle formation is divided into two rows in front and back, and the thief army will be taken directly!" ”

This kind of open terrain is a matter of who is more imposing, and the number of white pole troops is already small, if you blindly shrink passively, it is easy to be surrounded by superior enemy forces.

On the contrary, it is necessary to break through the enemy's formation with lightning speed, form an officer who penetrates the chisel and directly attacks the enemy's rear, and disrupts the enemy's command, so as to achieve victory at the lowest cost.

Of course, Ma Wannian had followed his grandmother Qin Liangyu to fight in the south and the north, and he was by no means a reckless man who only knew how to rush to death, and he continued to command: "Order the cavalry and spearmen to protect the two wings, and if the enemy cavalry attacks, it will be divided into three battalions to form a formation to defend it."

"The artillery battalion follows closely behind the foot soldiers, if the enemy formation is strong and difficult to break, then rearrange the artillery and attack the enemy in front of the formation!"

"Yes!"

The herald was just about to turn around, but was stopped by Ma Wannian again, "Also, send a signal flare to the Chinese army and ask the second uncle to help me guard behind me." ”

"Yes!"

As more than a dozen signal flares of various colors rose into the air, more than 200 cavalry and spearmen with a small number of white pole army forwards quickly rushed to both sides, and then the infantry in the middle loaded their bayonets one after another, and the phalanx erupted with an earth-shattering shout, "Kill!" ”

The momentum was like a rainbow through the sun, the waves swept through the eight wildernesses, and the infantry line more than a mile wide stepped on the neat drumbeat, crossed the artillery and went straight to the enemy, the style was almost the same as that of the Dragon Guard.

When the line infantry group charges, it is said to be "rushing", but in fact it is basically walking in unison, and only in this way can the queue always be kept in order.

Jianyu's side didn't expect that the Ming army, which only had about 3,000 people, would dare to attack him, and at first they were all smugly and laughing, "Are the southerners coming to send them to death?" ”

"I heard that they are all improvised rebels, and they will fight even more?"

"It's quite bold, but it saves Lao Tzu the effort to rush over......"

However, when the two armies were about 200 paces apart, the infantry line of the White Pole Army made all the captives involuntarily shut their mouths - the battle formation that was as neat as an iron wall pressed calmly and firmly, revealing an unstoppable majesty, which was almost breathless.

The Qing sergeant at the front suddenly slowed down, and the people behind immediately shouted and scolded, "Let's go!" What are you doing? ”

"If you don't want to fight, you don't want your heads?"

"What are you guys doing here......

When the captives in the back row saw the formation of the White Pole Army through the cracks, they immediately stood in place, and they all trembled in their hearts, where the hell are the troubled people, it is clearly the main force of the Southern Army!

They have all been soldiers for many years, and they know very well that just the neat queue of people in front of them is enough to show the essence of drill! Even the Jianzhou Jingjia they have seen will never be able to do it to this extent.

Although the Yu army under Kong Xigui had never fought with the Dragon Guard Army or the Broken Battalion, they had always heard the news that hundreds of thousands of horses and horses were captured and killed by the Ming army before and after Bolo, Luck Dehun, and Duoduo, and naturally they also knew the phrase "Three thousand Dragon Guards, all iron and stone are broken".

Almost all the Qing soldiers had the same thought, the enemy army on the opposite side was exactly 3,000 people, if they were really the main force of the Ming army...... Isn't this the same as sending you to death?!

At that moment, where are there still people who dare to rush forward again, and many timid people have already trembled and moved backwards. The Yu army was originally a little messy because of the rapid attack, and at this time it was even more crowded.

The distance of one hundred and ten paces passed almost in the blink of an eye, and an officer's order came from the infantry formation of the White Pole Army, "Stand! ”

"Aim!"

More than 2,000 infantry troops shouted in unison, "Aim!" ”

Kong Xigui frowned and looked at his stagnant subordinates, and was just about to order his personal entourage to see what was going on, when he heard a bang in the Ming army's array, and then the Yu army's battle array began to tremble and retreat.

"It's all a bunch of rubbish!" He hurried forward, raised his saber and hacked to death a soldier who turned his head to run, and angrily reprimanded, "Don't retreat!" More than 10,000 of you are afraid of 3,000 of you......"

Another roar interrupted him, and when he was closer, he saw the star-dense flash of fire in the white pole formation.

With a whoosh, Kong Xigui only felt a sharp pain in his ear, and reached out to touch it, but found that half of his ear was missing, and his palm was full of blood!

It turned out that Ma Wannian's white pole army was also equipped with more than 500 first-type infantry guns, that is, the latest model of rifled guns. Even if Kong Xigui was unlucky, a Mini bullet flew more than 170 paces away, grazing his left ear.

The Yu army had just been killed by several rounds of ferocious volleys on the opposite side, and the wails in front of the battle were mixed with the shouts of the Ming army to "load the bullets" and "aim", which even magnified the horror of the "Dragon Guard" in their minds.

It happened that Kong Xigui was in the rear team and shouted the order "not allowed to retreat", and the sergeant Yu turned his head to look at the sound, but saw that half of his main general's face was soaked in blood.

Immediately, someone exclaimed, "Lord Commander is injured!" ”

"The Southern Army is fierce, and the chief soldier is seriously injured!"

"It's over, it's over......"

"Fart!" Kong Xigui was furious, "Lao Tzu is just a little skin injury!" ”

But his voice could not be covered by thousands of soldiers, and before the officers he sent to restrain the men and horses could make a move, the advance of the white pole army approached more than ten paces, and he raised his guns and fired.

The Qing army was suddenly pressed back by the dense bullets, and the news of "the total soldier was seriously injured" spread, and many captives in the back row just thought that the front could not resist, hurriedly threw away their weapons, turned around and ran.

Ma Wannian was also very fierce, and when he saw that the enemy's formation was loose, he immediately ordered the infantry to stop firing and approached until he was about ten paces away from the enemy. ”

"Put!"

Before the smoke cleared, he drew his sword and pointed forward, and rushed out first, "Follow me into the enemy line"

More than 2,300 white-pole sergeants immediately burst into shouts, "Kill!" Qi Qi took ten steps forward, and the bayonet in his hand stabbed out at the same time.

Where has Kong Xigui's old-style army seen such a battle, hundreds of people in the front row were pierced on the spot, even if they were not dead, they were dizzy by thousands of neatly brandished bayonets, and immediately remembered the sentence "Iron and stone are broken", and they all said in their hearts, the rumors were true!

Faith and courage proved to be so important in warfare, especially in ancient times.

If it had been placed two years ago, even in the face of such casualties in front of them, the Qing army would have fought to the death. Because in their hearts, hundreds of thousands of Nanming troops were driven to Fujian from the north by tens of thousands of Jianzhou soldiers, and they were defeated and defeated, and they were even inferior to weak chickens. Everyone knows that for a group of chickens, even if they will burst out for a while, as long as they fight back, they will definitely be able to slaughter them all.

However, after more than a year of Zhu Linmiao's southern and northern wars, he won many victories, and killed the captives from being invincible to retreating to Beijing, which made the captives all over the world frightened, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly reduced if there were a few casualties in the battle.

It can be said that the mentality of the Qing army today is to return to the Ming army before the Longwu Dynasty, and they are also likely to be defeated.
