Chapter 796: Murderous Bayara
Although the seemingly weak bird soldiers suddenly became difficult to entangle, the strict military discipline made the armor soldiers have no way to retreat, and they could not accept this reality in the face of the overwhelming superiority of the Ming army in field battles for more than ten years - the opponent did not need to send out the soldiers, as long as they were casually equipped with a short blade to compete with them, which made the armor soldiers who were accustomed to victory and slaughter feel that their pride was greatly hurt. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
With no way to retreat, the gold-armored soldiers howled loudly and rushed towards the hedgehog-like bayonet array.
"Kill!" In the tight bayonet array, the soldiers shouted in unison, and the rifles close to two meters were stabbed out densely, and the popping sound of the blades entering the flesh was endless.
There were people on both fronts who fell, and more of them were post-gold-armored soldiers, whose weapons were either short-handled axes or maces, or simply swords, half shorter than their opponents. The armoured soldiers roared again and again, but they only had the power to parry, and the "spears" on the opposite side were twice as long as theirs, taking advantage of them, and after a round of fighting, the first row of armoured soldiers were almost killed and wounded, and the ground was covered with corpses.
Seeing that hand-to-hand combat not only did not take advantage, but was also at a disadvantage, the armor soldiers were a little at a loss, and the clever people took a few steps back a little to avoid the dense bayonets in front, and Houjin's offensive slowly stagnated. At this time, heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and someone shouted angrily: "Death to the cowards before the battle!" Immediately afterward, the blades and screams rang out one after another, and several armored soldiers who had stepped back a little bit were in different places, and a group of people in dazzling silver armor rushed forward.
The soldiers shivered, remembering the harsh military discipline of Houjin, and the deep fear of Bayala and military discipline prevailed, and once again summoned up their courage and rushed forward to the dense bayonet forest ahead.
Bayala behind them accelerated at the same time, following behind them, slashing at the last person who ran last. These Bayala, who were as fierce as they were against their enemies, forced the armor soldiers in front of them into a desperate situation, and the cruel military discipline of Houjin and Bayala's prestige made them have no courage to disobey their orders at all, so they could only rush forward desperately.
However, the bright bayonets made the armoured soldiers weak - these steel hedgehog-like guys were no inferior to birds to kill people - and the spirit of the first few armoured soldiers was close to collapse. With a dense array of bayonets in front and a deadly bayala in the rear, the screams of the men in the middle of life and death relieved the desperate fear in their hearts, and they crashed into the dense blades of the opposite side like moths to a fire.
The terrible howls were endless, a group of armor soldiers were all stabbed without exception, many of them were even stabbed into several blood holes, and the armor soldiers who had not been stabbed in the rear waved their weapons and rushed forward with their eyes closed, waiting for fate to come.
The rear Bayala rushed with a long shield in his hand, and the armored soldiers in front of him rushed straight into the soldiers of the first regiment, these strong and fierce Bayala used these cannon fodder to block the soldiers' vision, like a tank to knock the front row of the front line into a gap, most of the soldiers in the two rows were knocked to the ground by them, and dozens of people with shields rushed into the formation, and the soldiers were in a scuffle, at this time the bayonet became useless. These dozens of Bayala immediately waved the short-handled axe and one-handed broadsword in their hands, and skillfully began to slash and kill the surrounding Ming troops, and the sophisticated murder weapon brought a rain of blood, and the armor soldiers behind followed, using axes, maces and other heavy weapons to assist Bayala to attack together, stirring up this section of the array into chaos.
At this time, reinforcements from the 2nd and 3rd battalions arrived in time, and hundreds of soldiers joined the battle with bayonets. The addition of the new force suddenly relieved the pressure of the first battalion, which was gradually unable to support under the attack of Bayala, and groups of soldiers gathered in platoons and squads to form horizontal teams or battle groups to resist the fierce Bayara.
Most of the forces of the 1st Regiment were concentrated in the positions of the original 1st Battalion, and the shooting of long-range weapons completely turned into hand-to-hand combat, the hollow phalanx ceased to exist, and evolved into a large melee, and the battle fell into a stalemate again. None of the people in the fierce battle noticed that in the direction of the two wings, a large group of people were gradually approaching, as if they wanted to surround the entire First Regiment - this was the two wings of troops sent by Abatai, and he used all the people at his disposal, not only Yu Ding, who was a reserve, but also Bao Yi, who was relatively weak in combat.
The people who watched the development of the battle from a distance took in all this, and Wei Lian asked for battle in the south of the summer: "General, let the second regiment go up?" Han Sheng had completely abandoned the phalanx, the flanks were unprotected, and the Tartars seemed to want to break through from the middle and outflank the two wings, so that the first regiment was dangerous. ”
Xia Nan nodded solemnly: "I'll leave it to you, you can command it yourself according to the situation of the battle, and you don't need to ask for instructions." ”
"Please rest assured, General!"
The second regiment also moved, and the phalanx turned into a battalion column, trotting towards the position of the first regiment.
Huang Hansheng was in the midst of a noisy battle formation, his vision was blocked, he didn't see the enemy approaching on both flanks, and he didn't know that the second regiment had arrived to reinforce him, and he was now full of thoughts about how to repel the Tartars. Just as he was considering whether to take the fourth battalion as well, Houjin sent the remaining Bayaradu.
Nearly 100 Bayalas threw out their weapons in their hands while running, and heavy flying axes, javelins, and iron bones roared with the wind, and a platoon of Ming troops who came from the second and third battalions to reinforce fell to the ground at the same time. Then the Bayalas shot their bows and arrows at the bayonet array from six or seven paces away, and the heavy arrows at such close range caught the soldiers waiting to fight the bayonets off guard, and they fell in rows and columns.
The fallen soldiers in the front row formed an obstacle on the ground, and the soldiers in the back row did not have time to step forward, and another wave of flying axes slammed in, and in a short period of time, dozens of Ming soldiers were either killed or wounded, and the soldiers of the second and third battalions who had not yet fully entered the combat state were a little stunned for a while.
The soldiers on both sides of the gap were in disarray, their bayonets suitable for mid-range thrusts, and close combat was very bad for them, while the axes and maces of Bayala and Armor were like fish in water, and the heavy weapons flew up and down, bringing a rain of blood, and the soldiers fell one by one.
Abatai of the Chinese army in the rear finally regained some confidence, and at the most critical moment of the battle, using Bayala as an arrow and attacking with the armor soldiers was a tried and tested trick. Now it seems that as long as the central position of the enemy's formation is broken and the two wings are brought to the rescue, the originally tight infantry formation will fall into chaos, and the bayonet formation will no longer exist, which will be very beneficial to the Houjin army, which has an absolute advantage in individual martial arts.
