Chapter 68: Battle
Seeing the situation in Wang Dou's team, Xu Zucheng was also quite surprised, he stared at it for a long time, stroked his beard and nodded: "This Wang Dou is strict in governing the army, and he is a talent that can be created.
At present, there are not many sergeants in Jingbianbao, and all kinds of orders can also rely on the shouting and passing orders of the officers, but in the future, with the expansion of the number of his subordinates, the training of the golden drum banner is imperative, and the Ming Dynasty is not his own army, the more opportunities to cooperate with friendly forces in the future, and the banner orders are not familiar, how to contact friendly troops?
However, it can be seen that among the more than 1,000 officers and men, there are not many people who are familiar with the orders of the flags and drums, and after all, they are guards and are negligent in training on weekdays. As for the family members of the officers, they also pay more attention to personal martial arts, and their understanding of the golden drum is also limited.
After another wave of flags, the thousand sergeants marched in formation.
It's okay to stand solemnly, this formation is marching, except for Wang Dou's few teams, the formation of the officers and soldiers is chaotic, especially the ordinary guards on both wings. However, looking at the rogue on the other side, their formation is even more messy. In contrast, the guards here still have some formations.
After marching in formation for a while, both sides slowed down a mile away and slowly formed their formations.
Among them, the sentinels on both sides are all out in all directions, going to the opponent's formation to reconnoitre, and they are constantly chasing and fighting for a while.
It can be seen that the cavalry on the thief's side is more flexible and sharp, and they are suddenly three or five, suddenly more than ten, and suddenly dozens of them come, and one is just snooping around the officers and soldiers. And the cavalry on the side of the Baoan Prefecture official army fell behind.
Wang Dou saw it in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little worried, there were many cavalry on the thief's side, as many as hundreds, and the cavalry on the side of the officers and soldiers was strictly speaking, and the rest were only horse infantry even if they had horses, not necessarily the opponent of these thieves.
This is the advantage of cavalry, fast action, can fight, can fight, can not fight, do not engage with the infantry formation, only maneuver on the periphery, when there is time, pounce on it and bite twice, by those cavalry impact a few times, afraid that the officers and soldiers will be in danger of collapse.
……
After the whole team, the two sides slowly approached again, making the atmosphere even more tense.
About one hundred and fifty paces, both sides stopped, and saw that the Liukou side seemed to be pouring out, and there were two or three thousand people, but they were still gathered together in a haphazard manner, without the slightest formation. Only the rogue cavalry was very threatening, in groups of three or five, just staring around the periphery.
Then there was a loud shout from there, and about 200 people came out of the formation, armed with broadswords and shields, and slowly pressed towards this side. In fact, they underestimated the officers and soldiers of Baoanzhou, and started to attack in advance, but seeing that they were poorly equipped, most of them wore simple leather armor and cloth armor, and only a few of them wore iron armor.
Seeing this, Xu Zucheng's face turned green, and he just waved his flag and shouted to meet the battle.
In this three-fold formation, the strength of the outpost was about 200 people, of which Xu Zucheng's family had 70 people, and each team of ten people was arranged into seven columns, and each team had several three-eyed gunners and archers. They are located in the middle of the position.
To their right were Wang Dou's five teams of soldiers, also lined up in several horizontal columns, each lined up with a three-talent formation in the Mandarin Duck Formation. On the left, there are dozens of people from the various forts, also in several columns.
Under the orders of the officers, the archers and firearms men in the outpost array all came out.
Several teams of soldiers and soldiers in Jingbian Fort are named after A, B, C, D, E, G, and so on. Several teams of soldiers are called Soldier A, Soldier B, and Soldier C. The soldiers are called the first team of the baggage, the second team of the baggage, etc.
At this time, the soldiers of Jingbian Fort A, B, C, D, and E participated in the battle, and the officers of each team were Zhong Tiaoyang, Han Zhong, Gao Shiyin, and Yang Tong. As for Qi Tianliang, he led the soldiers and medical officers, and was in the position of the Chinese army.
At this time, several officers were all dressed in iron armor, but they were standing solemnly beside their team with weapons in hand.
The enemy entered 100 steps, and the Chinese army headquarters had not moved, 80 steps, no movement, 70 steps, no movement, obviously Xu Zucheng and others did not know that the range and power of the bird guns in Jingbian Fort were so great.
At sixty paces, the thieves and death squads shouted loudly, red-eyed, and rushed up with knives and guns, and the formation of the officers and soldiers was in a commotion.
At fifty paces, a long swan sound sounded from the Central Military Department, and Wang Dou pointed forward with his long sword and shouted: "Shoot!" ”
The birds chirped in unison, the smoke filled the air, and the screams of surprise were heard.
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
Two rows of bird-fired men advanced and retreated in turn, reloading and firing, shooting and reloading, and their fixed cartridge ammunition was reloaded extremely quickly, maintaining the continuity of firepower.
"Shoot!"
The flames and smoke were loud, and there was another scream.
