On the side of the Liuying Great Array, Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, Li Guo, and Ge Liyan and others also paid close attention to the battle situation and tried their best to look at the situation on that side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tan Ma didn't know the situation, and then looked at the side, the smoke seemed to envelop the whole area, faintly saw people and horses galloping, all kinds of shouts and guns were slightly heard, and the battle seemed to be very fierce.

"It seems that the fight is very tight, and the two sides are deadlocked."

Liu Zongmin rubbed his cheeks and said in a deep voice.

"Well, Cao Bianjiao still has two brushes, and he can make such a strange formation, and he can still hold on for so long under the impact of my righteous army's horsemen, and he is worthy of being a famous general of the imperial court...... But this is only the first wave of impact of our rebel army, and after a few more rushes, he can't bear it. ”

Liu Xiyao, the king of reincarnation, laughed.

Yuan Zongdi seems to have led people to fight with Cao Bianjiao for a long time, in the past, the righteous army fought against Cao Bianjiao's firearm battle array, and the victory or defeat of the battle was often only in a short time, such as the half-crossing attack not long ago, but this time it was fought for so long than before, it seems that Cao Bianjiao's sparse formation is still easy to deal with.

He and Zuojin Wang He Jin, as well as the troubled world Wang Lin Chengcheng glanced at each other, and they all saw the eagerness in each other's eyes, there are so many good things for officers and soldiers, not to mention the weight of armor, that is, after defeating Cao Bianjiao, if he can seize some firearms on the East Road, then his own battalion will make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiyao and the others were in charge of the revolution and the fifth battalion of the left, and they couldn't wait for Yuan Zongdi to quickly retreat and let them go up.

All the thieves saw the hope of victory, and they talked and laughed vigorously, only Li Guo and Lao Hui Ma Shouying frowned and thought deeply. I looked and looked at that side.

……

"Kill the thieves!"

"Put!"

The sound of the platoon, in the white smoke, more than a dozen cavalry soldiers howled, several horses that had been shot neighed violently, one by one the intruders screamed and fell off their horses, and then some people were trampled into flesh by the galloping horsemen.

"Watch the right wing."

"Watch out for the rear ......"

The shouts outside shook the sky, and the sound of guns followed one after another, one after another, and the pungent smell of gunsmoke continued to penetrate the nostrils. Mixed with the smell of blood. Not to mention the bad smell, it also affects the line of sight.

Some arrows flew by, and a javelin was thrown not far away. Labor's sticks on the ground. Quite deep into the soil.

However, none of this can make Yang Shaofan's expression change. He sat quietly on his horse, and seemed to watch it all with some coldness in his calmness.

At this time, Yang Shaofan was in a formation in front of the Chinese army. This formation is considered to be a total of two in one, with a total of 200 guns, 50 on each side, and each is divided into three layers, with 15 people on each floor, and the remaining 20 guns are used as substitutes for the fall of their comrades on each side.

The same is true of the spearmen, two rows of spearmen on each side are in the front, crouching on the ground, as a repellent, and the last row is protected behind the gunners, and there are twenty spearmen, like the previous gunners, at the same time, as a reserve.

However, Yang Shaofan's small formation will have more people, after all, there are battalion headquarters guards, and there are battalion officers or something.

As the commander of the military formation, it was Yang Shaofan's lieutenant officer, who was still shouting hoarsely before, but now his expression has recovered, but the shouting voice is still so loud.

After all, it was the first time to use this kind of battle formation, and in the face of the mass enemy cavalry, everyone could not help but be nervous, but when the results of the facts came out, all the officers and soldiers in each small formation breathed a sigh of relief, and then the fight was full of interest and enthusiasm.

At this time, many phalanxes were still bombarded by platoons instead of free fire, which also proved that the battle situation was good.

Under the command of the officers on all sides, the soldiers in the front row aimed at the enemy, pulled the trigger, and sprayed a large puff of gunpowder smoke in front of them, and then all they heard was the screams of the thieves and saw their embarrassed figures.

Subsequently, these guns handed the empty guns to the back with their left hands, and their right hands took over the real guns loaded with cartridge ammunition from the rear, and then fired again, rotating in succession, maintaining firepower, which is also a tactic used by the Shenji Battalion for a hundred years.

In the tense battle, many of the guns had unknowingly fought several rounds, but the guns were still shooting, and the birds were still safe and sound, which was also one of the guarantees of their confidence in continuing to fight.

Qi Jiguang once said: "The bird gun is cast according to the set, and the enemy is extremely accurate." According to the scheduled shift one up and down, although the three put the gun hot can not be put again, if each person with a cloth of several feet of water wet, after the three put with the cloth wet gun, you can often put it without stopping. ”

That is to say, the Ming army has a lot of birds, only three shots, it is so hot that it can no longer be released, unless it is wrapped in a wet cloth, otherwise there will be dangers such as exploding, but in the north, it is not that there is water where there is water, especially some sudden battles, encounters, etc., the conditions are really limited.

The poor quality of firearms is indeed a big problem, and if you only shoot three shots, you have to rest, how to fight?

Hou Yilin also said in "Dragon Gate Collection": "Or ask: The guns of the old days, after three shots, either spontaneously combusted under the medicine, or caused to explode." Recently, I heard that it was released to ten guns, and it is still available, why not? ”

"Said: The light of the gun is not light, and the essence of gunpowder is not fine. The guns of the old days do not know how to drill and grind, the pits in the chamber are bumpy, the medicine is not refined, the fire is reissued, the medicine residue hangs in the pit in the bore, the medicine is urgently loaded after the medicine, the fire is not extinguished, and it is natural to burst out. There are pits in the bore and do not know how to scrub, that is, scrub the pits, the slag may not be cleaned, once wet, the cylinder will be corroded, the pit is a place, day by day, gradually to leak, and it will not be fried? ”

With sophisticated firearms on the eastern route and successful tactics, compared with the embarrassment of the thieves in the array, the soldiers of the new army in each formation feel like shooting targets.

However, they are not without danger, the horsemen who broke into the camp, after all, are eliminated step by step from the hungry people and the infantry army, although they are not as good as the old battalion horses, but many people are quite quite skilled in combat, even if the cavalry between the formations is chaotic, many people only rely on instinct to move, but some elite knights are still fighting bravely.

In the shadows covered by the smoke of gunpowder, in the tide of flowing horses passing by, from time to time an arrow would be shot, a javelin, and a dagger or something, or some stunned horses would crash straight into it, and even a fire gun would hit.

A gunner in the front row had just received a loaded gun in his right hand. Suddenly, his body shook, and he fell to the ground without a sound, he clutched his chest, blood kept gushing out from his fingers, and on the opposite side, a rushing horse turned his head, mixed in the tide of horses, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He was holding a weapon in his hand, which appeared to be a handcuff, presumably an arquebus.

The army was invincible in the Central Plains. A wide variety of weapons were seized. Firearms are just one of them.

There were also several corpses lying next to the two rows of squatting spearmen in front of the four formations, and the wounded were moaning in pain, as a role in rejecting horses. They need to endure fears that ordinary people can't endure. Have the courage that ordinary people can't have.

The pikemen said that it was good to practice, and it was good to practice. It is also very difficult to practice if it is difficult to practice, and the key is to see whether we can form strict discipline and whether we have the courage to bear casualties.

After all, his comrades around him are constantly injured. Even when death, blood stumps fly to their faces, and when they are on their bodies, they often have to stand tall and can't move, otherwise if they move, the spear array will be costly, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear.

When the Ming army fought against the Japanese Kou, it can be said that a large part of them were pikemen, and the regulations of the Hongwu year, every 100 households, 10 gunners, 20 sword players, 30 archers, and the rest were pikemen.

Without fear in the face of cavalry onslaught, never retreating in the face of heavy casualties, and never moving without orders, without these qualities, it cannot be said that pikemen and pikemen formations have been trained.

After they were killed and wounded, the reservists in the formation also silently stepped forward to fill their positions, no one complained about anything, the new army went south and the war continued, and many people were used to life and death.

"Put!"

The loud sound of the guns being lined up again.

Yang Shaofan turned his head and looked at the side of the Chinese army, he felt that the thieves were about to retreat, and the death traps formed between the formations were full of the corpses of the thieves, and they were about to be unable to bear it.

can persist until now, and for the most part, Yang Shaofan feels that they are at a loss.

Looking at the Chinese army, although there were more thieves gathered around, and countless horsemen were circling around, it was relatively easier to defend.

They have vehicles, some of them resist horses and guns as defensive equipment, and the cavalry of the main barracks has cold weapons and shields, and under their cover, the three-eyed gunners and archers in the middle are constantly shooting arrows and firing guns outside.

The white smoke was filled, the arrows were in the air, and from time to time there were thieves screaming and falling, and with this concave and convex formation, those thieves also had to worry about attacking from other directions, often shooting a bullet from the back or side, making them cry bitterly.

With Yang Shaofan's understanding of Cao Dashuai, soon, the Chinese army will send cavalry to highlight the counteroffensive, which will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Keep shooting, all the archers in the formation, in the direction of the right flank!"

Yang Shaofan's expression was cold, and he shouted loudly, and a gust of wind blew, puffing up his cloak.

"Put!"

The first row of sixty firecrackers on all sides fired a volley again, and the surging gunpowder smoke spewed out again, and there was a cry and screaming outside, and then their cries were drowned out in the volley of firearms in a phalanx.

……

On the side of the Liuying Great Array, Liu Xiyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Okay, Master Yuan is back, brothers, follow us Laozi!" ”

Without waiting for Yuan Zongdi to return to the formation, he and Zuojin Wang He Jin and Wang Lin of the troubled times couldn't wait to leave.

Liu Zongmin frowned, even if he had planned before, the offensive of the righteous army, wave after wave, did not give Cao Bianjiao a chance to breathe, no matter how he said it, he had to wait for Yuan Zongdi to return to the formation and tell the other party's situation, so impatient, what kind of battle was he fighting?

Seeing that Liu Zongmin was displeased, He Yilong laughed and said: "Liu Ye is angry, the three masters are also meritorious." ”

Liu Zongmin snorted, and had no choice but to give up, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo was not his subordinates, and it was not something that could be shouted and reprimanded casually, but he was already a little dissatisfied in his heart, and then looked at Li Guo and other generals who broke into the camp, and they were also uneven.

Liu Xiyao and the others roared away, and even ignored the urgent shouting sent by Yuan Zongdi on the way, they galloped on ten thousand horses, and in the blink of an eye, they went straight into Cao Bianjiao's array.

Soon, Liu Zongmin and the others collectively frowned again, Yuan Zongdi's appearance when he returned to the division was not right, it didn't look like he was tired of fighting, and then his face was covered with blood, and after returning to the battle, Yuan Zongdi's words said that Liu Zongmin was silent for a long time, and his face was difficult to see.

Ma Shouying's face was full of bitterness, He Yilong was very anxious, and said to Liu Zongmin: "Master Liu, you must immediately answer Liu Zhang's family!" ”

Liu Zongmin felt more and more that his heart was on fire, his internal organs were like oil, and the anger seemed to burn himself to charcoal, he was originally a person with a violent temper, and he was about to have a seizure, when suddenly Li Guo shouted: "They are back!" ”

Sure enough, Liu Xiyao and the others came back, and they seemed to have only rushed from the front to the back of the Cao Bianjiao formation, and came back after shuttling through the formation.

They ran as fast as they could, whipping each one with great force, and the wolves rushed to the same time as they shouted: "Defeated, defeated!" Defeated, defeated! ……”

Liu Zongmin's face became more and more gloomy, he couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded angrily: "Donkey ball, your mother's hair!" (To be continued.) )
