Chapter 729 Decisive Battle on the Western Front Five
The Qing troops spread in, relying on the superiority of the cavalry, and lined up in the wilderness unhurriedly.
There is no army without horses, the formation of the Qing army has remained unchanged for 10,000 years, and it is still according to the habits of the past, the infantry army forms an offensive formation, and the horse army stops on both wings.
The 60,000 horses were very scattered, thinking that the Ming army would wait for them to attack according to the convention, but Wang Yan liked to grasp the initiative, how could his 70,000 elites be afraid of Bolo's 60,000 horses, his goal was to defeat the Qing soldiers on the inner line in a quick battle, and then turn around to fight the outside line to resolve the crisis brought by Jin Shenghuan's defeat this time, so he naturally had to take the initiative to attack, and did not let Bolo line up a good formation, and rest well to fight again.
A southeast wind blew, and the banner hunting sounded under the high slope, Wang Yan stood under the banner of Daxu, looking at the Qing army in the west with a cold expression. "Come on! After five years of struggle, today we will fight it out on the Yangtze River Plain! ”
Wang Yan looked at the 60,000 Qing soldiers who were forming a formation, and when his own large array had already completed the formation, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "The order is to rush across the horse army, take advantage of the enemy's formation, and go straight to the Qing army's infantry formation!" ”
The cavalry of the Qing army is three times that of Wang Yan, but Wang Yan has his confidence, and the cavalry of the superintendent has dropped from the initial 10,000 to 5,000 now.
When the Qing soldiers were forming a formation, Wang Yan gave an order, the trumpet drum in the army protruded, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks slowly drove out.
The left and right wings of the Ming army, Qin Shangxing, a general on the left wing, and Zhao Shenkuan, a general on the right wing, both of them were old men around Wang Yan, and they also saved Wang Yan's life.
When the Qingzhou Incident occurred, Wang Yan was trapped in the city, and these two were one of the leaders of the rebel army who came to the rescue.
From Shandong to Yangzhou and then to Guangnan, the two have been following him for nearly five years.
Before the two armies, the trumpets and drums urged people to forge ahead, and the left flank of the Ma army was General Qin Shangxing, who took the lead in shouting: "Brothers, rush!" After speaking, he raised his three-eyed gun and urged the war horse to charge.
On the other side, Zhao Shenkuan raised his spear and shot his horse, and two thousand five hundred horsemen flocked behind him.
Bolo was shocked, and couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart, "Straight mother thief, and don't play cards according to the routine!" The previous battle in Yanping's river valley was also this guy who took the initiative to press forward, but this time on the plain he actually took the initiative to attack again, is this king a soft persimmon? You actually deceived me like this! ”
At this time, the Qing army's infantry formation was still scattered, and if it was rammed into by the Ming cavalry, it would be okay.
Bolo hurriedly rushed to the main formation, fortunately, the Qing generals on the left and right flanks, not elm heads, saw the Ming cavalry coming, and immediately followed the previous order to meet the attack and shelter the army in formation.
The Qing army's infantry army, which was originally unhurriedly arrayed, was a little panicked at this time, and before our formation was lined up, you guys would kill it, and it was damn unkind.
When they saw the cavalry killed, they hurriedly rearranged the defensive formation, the spears were in the front, and the archers were in the middle, but the soldiers had not lined up in the first place, but now they formed a great confusion in the changing formation.
A hole was opened in front of the Qing army, and Bolo and his party rushed back to the formation, came to a high slope where the Chinese army was, and reined in the war horse.
At this time, he saw the cavalry rushing out of the two wings of the Ming army, and he regretted it in his heart, watched his mother's array, and fucking let Wang Yanna take the lead.
The golden horse, which had just reined in the war horse on the side and was undecided, did not stop, so he shouted again: "It's about to be handed in!" ”
Bolo's face sank, and he also looked at the battlefield, good you Wang Yan, this king wants to see how many catties and taels your cavalry has, and dare to take the initiative to touch the tiger whiskers of this king, he immediately shouted: "Let the infantry army hurry up and line up the formation!" ”
The cavalry of the two armies quickly approached, and in the middle of the Ming army, Wang Yan squinted his eyes and stared at the two ways to cross the horse army. Wang Shixiu, the superintendent on the side, kept exhaling in his mouth, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Brothers, fight for breath!" ”
The Wuzhong Army has experienced a lot of big battles, and there are also a lot of field battles, but the Ma Army has always been an auxiliary branch and has not taken charge alone, and this is the first time that the Ma Army and the Qing Army have confronted each other head-on.
At this time, Qin Shangxing's left flank first engaged the Qing army's blue armor, and the blue armor soldiers were twice as large as the Ming army, but the rampaging horse army was not afraid, and he couldn't win the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and what was there to fear when he fought a group of beasts who had forgotten their ancestors.
Qin Shangxing yelled "kill", the Shandong man lit the fuse in his hand, and more than 500 cavalry in the front row of the left wing lit fire, and a piece of gunpowder smoke rose in front of the arrow array, and more than 500 three-eyed guns were ready to fire, while the cavalry behind bent down, raised their spears, and held their sabers.
Infantry to cavalry, three shots in battle, cavalry to cavalry, at most one shot, you have to change weapons after shooting, it is easy to panic in battle, and the three-eyed gun is different.
The oncoming blue flag, the front row rarely took out bows and arrows, but held spears, and the back row had a lot of bows and arrows.
Cavalry arrow formation, just like the blade of the steel knife must be made of the best steel, as the arrow of the charge, must be a brave person, and to focus on the charge, if you shoot an arrow first, and wait for the enemy cavalry has rushed to the front and then change the spear, it will be a little slow, so the Qing army uses the rear cavalry to shoot in order to open the way for the cavalry at the edge of the arrow, reducing the impact resistance.
The cavalry hedged, like two cars colliding head-on, only for a moment, and there was no room for distraction.
At this time, the horse's hooves trampled the earth, splashed a large amount of dust, the cavalry of the Ming and Qing armies, all of them had crashed into each other with the heart of victory, the cavalry howled, the horse's hooves roared, as if the four torrents, shaking the four fields.
At this time, the Qing soldiers were the first to shoot a rain of arrows.
As a member of the superintendent, the rampant horse army is now equivalent to the guard of the feudal lord, and the equipment is no longer the same as a few years ago, and the iron man army, which is also under the superintendent, is equipped with a full set of iron armor, and the Kesheng battalion is replaced with a new Lumi gun, and the equipment of the rampaging horse army has naturally improved.
The cavalry soldiers were all dressed in silk on the inside, covered with armor on the outside, and even covered with armor on the heads of the horses, between light and heavy cavalry.
This is also the reason why Wang Yan dared to rampage the Ma army and attack the Qing soldiers who had a stable foothold.
The Qing cavalry shot nearly a thousand arrows rained down, falling like flying locusts, although the Ming army was well equipped, but there were still fifty or sixty horsemen who were shot off their horses.
Such a result made Wang Yan, who was watching the battle, feel a headache, but Bolo on the opposite side was shocked, it turned out that the damage of bows and arrows is indeed limited, especially when riding a bow and meeting a good armor, it is a scoundrel.
Qin Shangxing rushed to the front, with a feather arrow stuck in his shoulder, but he didn't realize it, but stared at the oncoming Qing general with his eyes.
Thirty paces, the fuse was flashing, the green smoke was filled, and a dense sound sounded, and the iron sand and lead bullets in the gun pipe shot out rapidly by the thrust of the gunpowder explosion, and the oncoming Qing cavalry fell like a bean in the thunderous sound of the gun.
The Qing general that Qin Shangxing was staring at was directly knocked away by the gun, and his body flew out upside down, but his feet were entangled in stirrups, and his body was dragged away by the war horse.
The soldiers of the Ming army did not come to cheer, the cavalry of the two armies had already collided together, and the Qing army's sharp arrow was severely injured by the three-eyed gun, Qin Shangxing picked up the three-eyed gun, and smashed into the back of a Qing cavalry who staggered past him.
The spears of the two armies were pierced, the swords flew over, the blunt instruments were swung, the blood flowers bloomed, the men howled and the horses neighed, and the screams and shouts of killing were intertwined.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Shenkuan on the right wing also engaged in battle with the Qing army's red armor, and the same scene unfolded at the same time, this Shandong warrior broke into the enemy formation, the horse's hooves were like flying, and the horse's lance was flying stabbing, raising a cloud of blood mist.
After the continuous loss of the Han Eight Banners, upgrading, and the promotion of a large number of green battalions, they are no longer the courage of the year, but the cavalry of the Ming army will reproduce the invincible style of the cavalry of the Ming army in the era of Li Rusong after four years of tempering.
The two Ming armies came out through the formation, and where they passed, the corpses of the fallen and the mournful war horses were all in sight.
The two generals, without hesitation or sighing, raised their weapons one after another and pounced on the Qing soldiers who were still arrayed.
