Chapter 1013: Hold on

The frontal firecrackers of the four regiments opened fire, and the sound of the firecrackers was quickly drowned out by the sound of fire from the left flank. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
More than half of the firecrackers were drawn to the left flank, and the frontal firecrackers were weak, and after one round of fire, they ran back into the gap in the spearmen's array.
The soldiers of the Jianzhou army did not keep up in time, because their front team had been scattered by the artillery bombardment, and after being swept away by the firecrackers, it was actually empty.
Seeing that the fire soldiers of the Huwei Army withdrew between the spear arrays, the soldiers of the Jianzhou Army who ran quickly for hundreds of steps in the artillery fire all came with strength, and they launched a charge at this distance, and the artillery fire continued to take people's lives, the psychological pressure was extremely great, and a few hundred steps were not too easy, and everyone felt a little tired.
Shuerhaqi, who came back from the Taizi River, also said that the spearmen of this Ming army were extremely brave and had a tight formation, but everyone in the Jianzhou army felt that as long as they were killed, the Ming soldiers were not opponents, they were just powerful firearms, and they held spears just because they didn't want to get close to fight. Right in front of him, the thunderous artillery of the Ming army also stopped, and when he got to him, as long as he could get to him, he ""
"Assassination!!"
The two sides have already collided, and there are countless gaps in the Ming army's steel jungle-like array, as if you can calmly break in, but you dodge the assassination of the first column, rush into the gap, and after walking a few steps, you find that there are still spears in front of you.
Obviously, the distance was already so close, and when the Ming army saw how such a brave Jurchen warrior did not break up, he still stabbed the spear in his hand very firmly.
The Jurchen soldiers who rushed into the Ming army array had a lot of fangs around the nobles, they were wearing chain mail, some of them were conceited and brave, and they had to wear cotton armor outside, and the spears on the right side could indeed block it, but everyone was facing more than just a spear.
One by one, the soldiers of the Jianzhou Army fell under the fight of spears, and some of them were vigorous and agile, and if they wanted to break through to the front, they often could not stop the axes and guns in the hands of the non-commissioned officers, and the bombardment of the two wings.
After entering the face-to-face battle, the actual death rate of the soldiers of the Jianzhou Army was not much less than that when Fang Cai was firing fire and artillery, but the courage to fight was even higher, thinking that the certainty of breaking through the enemy formation was much greater, but they were just sending them to death one after another.
Everyone thinks that as long as this side is broken, or this side is stuck, then the other side can be broken .......
The left flank could no longer hear any orders or curses, not even the neighing of the horses on the opposite side, for the explosion of the fire clamor drowned out everything.
In order to ensure the continuity of the shooting, the 2,400 musketeers were divided into eight rows, and each platoon was spaced very widely, so that after the firing was completed, they could calmly retreat to reload their ammunition.
When the cavalry of the Jianzhou army had not yet approached the firing range, the firecrackers held the wooden fork and had to strengthen their hands, because the ground began to tremble slightly, and the Jurchen cavalry that rushed to the front was not riding a short Mongolian horse, but a tall Liaodong horse, which made them look even more imposing.
The hearts of the firecrackers, not even those recruits, were apprehensive and frightened, but the training made their movements form a subconscious behavior, and the military discipline made them have to obey, fire in advance, not fire around the standard line, and the harsh treatment made them dare not move.
There is no need to pay attention to what aiming, aim at the approximate enemy formation, and after the order, pull the trigger and shoot, and the enemy's cavalry will definitely be shot.
If there were any fish that slipped through the net, the five guns placed on the left flank would sweep them away, and although the Jianzhou cavalry was fierce, after they rushed into the firing range, they could only maintain their momentum in the first three rounds of firing, and then they stopped, as if there was an invisible wall eighty paces before the fire gun queue, and no matter how they were driven, they could not move forward.
Some people were shot but their horses, people fell from their horses, often unable to get up, some were caught by fire, and some were trampled down by the horses of their companions behind them.
In the midst of such an impact, it is very difficult to turn back, and you can only move forward, and there is only one uh to move forward.
After one round of fire from the eight platoons of firelockers, the two rows of spearmen kneeling and half-crouching in front did not come into contact with the enemy, but their helmets and faces were pitch black, the result of gunsmoke after the fire shot.
After the second round of shooting began, Wang Tong turned his head and said loudly to the soldiers beside him:
"Ordered the horse to be three standards, the cavalry of the Huwei army team was put into the frontal battlefield, trampled on the array of the Tartars with heavy horses, covered the killing with light horses, and the cavalry of the rest of the armies detoured back to the rear column of the Tartar cavalry on the left flank, in order to annihilate the pro-soldiers, and hurriedly rode their horses to give the order, Wang Tong dragged over a pro-soldier and shouted:
"Order the spearmen of the 3rd and 5th regiments to prepare to advance.
In all the major battles of the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry rushed forward and rushed into battle, and afterwards they were all pursued and intercepted by the cavalry, but in the Huwei army, the cavalry always existed as a reserve. Ma Sanbiao, who likes to fight, watched the infantry and several regiments fighting in full swing, and he doubted whether he could go to the battlefield and stop here, on the one hand, he had to be ready to fight at any time. On the one hand, it was necessary to pacify the horses, many of whom were not accustomed to stopping at the roar of fire and artillery, and were restless, and the cavalry had to plug the ears of the horses with strips of cloth and cotton wool, and then they had to be pacified, so that the horses would not wander around and bark.
Waiting for the order to be issued, Ma Sanbiao was immediately excited, to be able to be a heavy horse, the Huwei army has a total of more than 300 horses, all of them are covered with Huwei plate armor all over the body, the horses are covered with felt, the weapons used in addition to the spear, there are also big knives and axes at home, originally the Huwei army is a Mongolian horse, even if it is a selected Mongolian horse, it is difficult to charge more than three times and a slightly longer distance to run.
Since taking the Naturalization City, the Huwei Army has the means to obtain the good horses of the Western Regions, and only then did the horses of the Huwei Army Horse Team be initially replaced.
Those who can serve as cavalry in the Huwei Army are often veterans who have been in the army for a long time, or they are selected Mongolian cavalry, all of whom are belligerent and bloodthirsty.
Everyone was excited to be able to devote themselves to such a stalemate time, and in a short time the heavy riders were ready, and the light riders followed the rear of the heavy cavalry queue.
The cavalry that followed the rest of the armies, led by the cavalry of Jizhen, began to move towards the left flank of the army.
Ma Sanbiao raised the spear in his hand, and now there is no sound of orders on the battlefield, so he can only give orders by looking at the signal.
The spear in his hand slanted downward, and the heavy horsemen moved their horses one after another, slowly moving forward, the people were wearing a full set of armor, the horses were covered with felt, plus the weapons, the weight was also amazing, the running was bumpy, the armor combined with the collision, and the sound of the horses' hooves on the ground was also very heavy, and gradually, the sound of the heavy cavalry queue overwhelmed the rest of the movement on the battlefield.
Interspersed diagonally from the right flank of the army, it was actually not much distance left for the cavalry to accelerate, but it was already enough to impact.
What's more, the action of the heavy cavalry plunged the Jurchen infantry who could not be attacked into great confusion, and the cavalry of the Ming army remained motionless, and they thought that they would be engaged in a confrontation with the cavalry on the left flank, but they did not expect that they would still be used to attack the infantry on this side.
Ma Sanbiao rode at the front, he was always an arrow in the heavy cavalry queue, and he could see someone in the panicked Jurchen queue shooting at him with a bow and arrow.
The arrow shot very accurately, and did not take a trick towards the helmet that only leaked a gap, but towards Ma Sanbiao's chest, Ma Sanbiao didn't even stretch out his weapon to dial, just slightly sideways, the arrow touched the armor, and there was a loud bang, but it was just a dent in the chest armor of the plate armor, Ma Sanbiao's body leaned back slightly, and then returned to normal.
Looking at the men and horses in armor, the tall heavy cavalry rushed to him, and the Jurchen soldiers all subconsciously dodged sideways, not daring to confront them head-on.
But after all, the speed of horses is much faster than that of people, and one person flashes past, and in such a dense array, the second and third cannot dodge.
Ma Sanbiao's riding spear was unloaded, his hand was held in a false hand, and his arm was clamped, and after stabbing the Jurchen soldier below, the Jurchen soldier was wearing cotton armor on his body, but it was still directly penetrated, and the huge power of the man and horse did not subside, and directly knocked the person into the air and smashed it on the person behind.
At this rush, the queue of the Jurchens completely collapsed, and the so-called hot knife harmed butter, without any obstacles, and it was in such a state.
The heavy cavalry directly opened the formation of the Jurchen infantry from the middle, and the light cavalry on both sides expanded the wound of this formation even more, and all they had to do was to condescendingly slash and kill.
The cavalry rushed to the other end, and turned back, this time, the infantry of the Jianzhou army was completely shattered, they had been completely encircled by the cavalry, and in front of them was a solid infantry formation that had not yet been shaken, and the surrounding area was surrounded by cavalry.
There is no hope for this battle, and the flank cavalry, which is regarded as the hope of victory, has not made any progress since it appeared, and the sound of the fire gun queue bursting beans has not stopped, and the neighing of people and horses has not stopped, and now the cavalry of the Ming army has also been put into the battlefield, and the battle situation has completely collapsed.
After the first round of assault, the heavy cavalry threw away the spear in his hand, took out the long knife and axe hanging from the side of the saddle, and rushed into the Jurchen infantry queue again.
"Spearmen forward, musketeers shoot freely! Forward, forward!! ”
Li Hutou shouted on his horse, trumpets and drums sounded, and on the left flank, Wang Tong stood on horseback, watching the movements of the cavalry of various armies, with a smile on his face, and said softly:
"Stuck in the Pocket"
