Chapter 728 Decisive Battle on the Western Front IV
A few miles away, I saw a fiery red.
Just when the Qing army discovered the Ming army, the Ming army naturally also saw the Qing soldiers.
At this time, only a drum of the Chinese army was heard, and in the large array of the Ming army, the generals and officers were heard roaring in unison, "Get up!" ”
In each phalanx, the Ming army sitting on the ground, after waiting for a long time, heard the order to hold their weapons and stood up.
For a time, the spears in the big array were like forests, banners were like clouds, and the canine teeth were intertwined, like a giant beast that had awakened. The soldiers looked at the Qing soldiers who gradually appeared in their field of vision with cold eyes, and they all used their weapons.
In the entire array, the armor rattled, the war knife was drawn, and the reflected white light was like a sparkling sea.
The cavalry had already mounted their horses and cruised around the army.
A group of three or four hundred Qing cavalry rushed forward, intending to raid and harass the Ming army and find out the situation of the army, but when they saw the Ming cavalry cruising on both wings, the soldiers in front of the Ming army had already lined up in formation, looked at it a few times, and did not dare to approach, and retreated in a daze.
The Ming military had already set up the formation, but they were waiting, in order to save their physical strength and wait for work, so they all sat on the ground.
Now that the Qing army is coming, they stand up when they hear the order, and the whole large array gradually takes shape.
The soldiers of the Five Loyal Army are all veterans, and the sharp soldiers selected from each town, after four years of tempering, are not afraid of the field waves, and they have checked the equipment, encouraged each other, and made the final preparations.
An old soldier of the Wuzhong Army said to the soldiers beside him: "Brother, don't panic, this guy in Boluo is nothing big, Lao Tzu fought with him in Yanping, and more than 100,000 people have not been able to help us, and now we have more men and horses than him, and we will definitely be able to defeat Qinggou." ”
The old pawn said quite complacently, and deliberately flaunted his seniority in front of the new pawn, just like what he commanded. Of course, he was also out of kindness to cheer for the new faces.
Just as the old soldier spoke, the soldier on the face had already torn the hard bow in his hand into a full moon, and then suddenly loosened, and the bowstring vibrated and made a crisp sound.
The soldier smiled and glanced at the old pawn, "Qinggou is nothing to be afraid of, I can't kill Qinggou with this bow!" As he spoke, the soldier stretched out his hand and gestured with his five fingers open in front of the old man.
The old pawn was stunned for a moment, his calf pretended to be a bit of a failure, he looked the new pawn up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Where did you come from?" ”
The new pawn said with a smile: "Shence Chinese Army, General Hao's corporal soldiers, guarded Xiangyang City, and was just transferred to the Wuzhong Army as an infantry archer three months ago. ”
In the battle of Chu and Jiangxi last year, Hao Shaoqi guarded Xiangyang, resisting the attack of the king of Liangshun from Henan to the south, and fought for several months, and finally made the king of Liangshun rebel without merit.
The old pawn listened to it and knew that the soldiers who were added in this time were not simple, and they could no longer be treated as dirt buns, and they all experienced a big scene, but the old pawn of the Wuzhong Army naturally would not be suppressed by the new face, he shook the hard bow in his hand with one hand, and sneered: "Hmph, we will fight later, watch the old brother shoot a cow for you and record it." ”
Just after the preparation of the formation was completed, and the chess and card officers of each department raised the flag to the Chinese army to indicate that they were ready, the war drums of the Chinese army rose again, and nearly 100 shirtless wrestlers waved their drumsticks in unison and slammed them three times, and the war drums made a majestic "dong dong" sound, which was moving.
When the soldiers heard the sound of the drums, they immediately became serious, and the whole array was silent for an instant, and any abnormal movement or noise would be punished by military law.
The Ming army was ready, but the Qing army that was spreading was not too anxious, and Bolo relied on the advantage of cavalry to line up unhurriedly.
The cavalry of the Qing army was divided into three parts, five thousand on the left and right, sheltering the infantry army in front of the Ming army, and the strange thing is that there is another one behind, which is also five thousand horsemen, it is estimated that Bolo is afraid that the Ming army on the mountain will come to attack.
Although Jin Shenghuan's troops were hungry and weak, he had to guard against it, not to mention the Ming Army's sailors
At this time, the army was arrayed, and Bolo led a group of cavalry out of the formation and came to the front of the formation to observe the Ming army's formation.
When he saw that Wang Yan was really waiting for him here, he was even more determined in his heart.
The entire inner line, he only has 60,000 people, and Wang Yan has 70,000 people, there are sailors on the river, there are remnants of Jin Shenghuan on the top of Ma'an Mountain, the strength of the Ming army is far superior to him, although he has the benefits of the horse army, but the advantage of the horse army is not very huge, the white flag was originally annihilated by Wang Yan in Huarong, Shi Tingzhu is now the white flag, which was later formed from the new, although it is also the selection of green battalion elite soldiers, but compared with the former white flag, the difference is not a star and a half.
For Bolo, the best situation is that he can retreat to the big victory pass, so that as long as Duoduo who insists on the outside line, Xiao Qi will break the Ming army that is blocking, and he can encircle Wang Yan, Jin Shenghuan and the emperor will still run.
But now Wang Yan rushed in front of him, blocking his way to the pass, forcing him to have a decisive battle.
Bolo and his entourage galloped to a slightly protruding place in front of the formation, reined in the war horse, and observed the Ming army's formation.
Bolo picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the Ming array, and the circular vision was first aimed at a high platform on a small dirt slope, which was where the Ming army was located.
In the field of vision, Bolo saw the five-color flags on the slope surrounded by the Phnom Penh King Banner Daxu, the flags flying Yang, a team of elite soldiers wrapped in iron armor, guarding the slope, presumably the iron lump that made Tong Tulai suffer. Under the escort of this group of ironclad soldiers, a person wearing gold armor and a big red robe, riding a charcoal horse and standing on the top of the slope, must be Wang Yan.
This made Bolo scoff, damn Lao Tzu is also a king, but you are so sassy without wearing it.
He moved the clairvoyant mirror, and the circular potential came to the front of the Ming army, and he looked forward from the Chinese army, and first saw the archers, then the spears, the front was the sword and shield, and then the archers, spears, and sword shields, about three thousand households were a small array, not a large array.
Bolo frowned, why didn't this guy put the pikemen at the front, but lined up in a small formation, which was obviously convenient for attacking.
He put down the clairvoyant mirror, then picked it up again, and looked at the front of the array, and thousands of birds appeared in his vision.
Jin Li on the side also saw the clouds, "The left and right wings, the front of the formation put a rejection of the horse, dug a shallow hook, the spear is like a forest, it should be ready to defend, the back formation is invisible, this front formation is a little strange, do not dig a pit, do not nail the pile, do not set up a rejection of the horse, the Ming army has been waiting for us for so long, he has time?" ”
Hearing this, all the Qing generals looked at the front, Tong Tulai touched his mouth, and said in surprise: "Could it be that Wang Yan wants to take the initiative to attack!" ”
"He dares! Is my horse army vegetarian? Shi Tingzhu's eyes widened.
Bolo heard it and glanced back at the formation, and saw that the formation of the army had not yet been completed, so his heart sank, and he hurriedly pulled the reins, "Go, return to the formation!" ”
As soon as he said this, the earth shook, and the left and right wings of the Ming army, each with 2,500 cavalry, poured out of the nest and went straight to the Qing army's main array.
