Chapter 434: The Trumpet

As the cavalry array of the Huaxia Army sounded a military horn that made the Houjin Army feel very unfamiliar, a part of the cavalry also walked out of the queue and moved in the direction of the flank.

Although this was a kind of trumpet sound that he had never heard in the previous battles with the Ming army, the current Duoduo did not have time to think about these strange things.

Duoduo's tactics of using cavalry to contain the cavalry of the Huaxia Army can be regarded as initially effective, and now, whether or not they can get out safely will be the next infantry battle.

The number of infantry in Duoduo's hands was slightly larger than that of the Huaxia army that came to intercept in front of him, but the Huaxia army had the advantage of weapons and equipment.

After canceling each other out, no one knows who will win next, and more depends on the soldiers' own combat effectiveness.

At this time, the infantry armor of Houjin put aside their war horses and completed the relevant actions of the formation on the other side, and in their military formation, swords and guns were lined up and slaughtered.

Duoduo rode to the front of the line, glanced around and waved his hand, and the herald immediately blew the conch horn, followed by the war drums, and the Houjin infantry slowly began to advance.

On the side of the Huaxia Army's infantry array, a military horn also sounded, and the soldiers who had been sitting on the ground and resting stood up one after another, and the black rifle barrels were densely arranged above the team, almost covering the background behind them.

Immediately afterwards, another military horn sounded on the side of the Huaxia Army, followed by the rapid sound of the military drum, and then it turned into a rhythmic marching tune, and the infantry soldiers of the four infantry companies of the mounted infantry battalion began to move.

The arrays formed by the Huaxia Army slowly moved forward, and on the rightmost position of each array, the company commanders and the flag bearers of each company walked, and correspondingly, in the leftmost position, the deputy company commander of the company walked.

The chief and deputy company commanders and instructors kept moving around the front and back of the line, reminding the platoon commanders and non-commissioned officer commanders in the queue from time to time to pay attention to the formation in a certain position.

The array of the Houjin Tartar infantry armor was constantly stretched and stretched under the orders of Duoduo.

The Houjin Army originally had an advantage in numbers, and after opening up the width of the array, the width of the infantry array of the Huaxia Army needed to defend became correspondingly much larger.

In order not to be surrounded by the enemy's infantry, thus losing its tactical advantage and being flanked by the enemy, the infantry array of the Huaxia Army also changed, from a queue of two fronts and two backs to four queues marching side by side.

The enemy and the enemy, in the sound of huge war drums, slowly, step by step, and firmly approached.

The Later Jin Army imitated the spear array of the Xuan Army, the predecessor of the Huaxia Army, and made their heads covered with spears that constantly shook gently.

The Houjin army not only learned the formation and weapons, but also learned some details, such as the method of marching with a spear.

The Tartar infantry soldiers held their spears on the right side of their bodies, holding the bottom of the spear with their right hand and the shaft of the spear in their left hand, slowly moving step by step with the idea of the war drum.

After all, if you don't use the correct way of holding the spear, the spear, which is more than 4 meters long, is very difficult to lift horizontally.

If you use this method of holding the spear, you can save a lot of effort by waiting for the distance of the battle and then flattening the spear. The officers of Houjin are not fools, and since they know this way of holding spears, it is impossible not to learn them.

"Remember, we don't have spears in our hands now, and the rifles in everyone's hands, even if they are inserted with bayonets, are far shorter than the spears in the hands of the Houjin Tartars.

Therefore, you must stabilize the array, keep slow, don't think about rushing and killing, maintain the frequency and rhythm of shooting, and try to disrupt the enemy's array as much as possible before engaging the enemy. ”

In the neat queue, the cavalry battalion commander rode a war horse borrowed from other places, constantly galloping in the gap in the queue, shouting.

After saying this paragraph, maybe he was still a little uneasy, the political commissar next to the cavalry battalion commander also stood on a high platform, and once again opened his throat and emphasized it.

"I emphasize one last time, I have heard clearly that I want to save my little life, wait until I go home after the war to reunite with my parents, wife and children, and live a good life.

Our rifles are shorter than the enemy's spears, so don't think about rushing up and killing people, and if you do, you'll probably hit the Tartars headlong on the spears.

When engaging the enemy, the speed must be slow, and the drum beat once before you can take a step and maintain the density of the array at all times. ”

The cavalry battalion commander waited until the political commissar had finished talking about the precautions, got off his horse, ran over the front queue, and was in the front position.

Then he trotted sideways and ran in front of the queue, and shouted loudly in the innermost part, "The Houjin Tartars are blocked here by us this time, and they have no way out, so this time they are here to fight with us."

And this is the Liaodong region, you also have no way to retreat, if you want to survive on the battlefield, you must remember the infantry drill you have learned.

The spy platoon would only fire a salvo with everyone, draining the ammunition in the guns as quickly as possible, and then they would have to conserve firepower to protect our flank positions and counterattack the Tartars who were ready to break the formation.

Several of your infantry companies are the main force in this operation, so you must pay attention to the density and order of your shots, obey orders, and do not shoot indiscriminately. ”

When the commander of the cavalry battalion, Balabala, gave a warning, a soldier standing in the first row of the infantry array with a rifle already loaded with a bayonet in his hand looked beyond the gap in the middle of the special service platoon walking in the front row and observed the Houjin army on the opposite side.

On the opposite side was a shining wall of people, with dense spear shafts on their heads, like a wall of blades, and in front of them, according to the combat habits of the Later Jin army, scattered with scattered archers.

It is said that the enemy is shiny because the infantry armor in the front row of the Houjin army is almost all wearing armor.

According to the Houjin military regulations, during the review procession, those whose armor is not bright will be punished extremely severely.

Therefore, on the opposite side of the Huaxia Army's infantry array, there was a shiny human wall that was almost reflective.

As for the Huaxia Army, all of them are wearing combat vests, and the outer layer is just a shell made of ordinary thick fabric, canvas, oil cloth and other materials, and then dyed.

Inside this shell, the bulletproof steel plate that can be removed is the key factor in the defense of the combat vest.

Therefore, compared to the appearance, the current Huaxia Army is really not as powerful and shining as the Houjin Army.
