Chapter 734: The Duel Between Infantry and Cavalry (2)

Not far away, Yue Le's brows were also tightly wrinkled, the elite strength of Nanjing Right Town in front of him was stronger than he imagined, it was strange that Tan Tai and He Luohui could lose the battle in a row, Qin Mufeng, as the first fierce general under Zhu Jie, really deserved his reputation, this Nanjing Right Town was sharpened into a powerful force by him in just one year!

Originally thought that with the strong combat power of the yellow flag, Erjin could directly break through the front army position of the Ming army and directly threaten their Chinese army, but now it seems that he has some wishful thinking, however, the inlaid yellow flag is the inlaid yellow flag, its strength is by no means comparable to the right town of Nanjing, breaking through the front army is already an instantaneous thing, tearing the Chinese army apart is just a matter of an eye, once their pikemen are defeated and lose their formation, then the remaining sword soldiers are not to be afraid!

It's just, is it really as simple as Yue Le thought? Maybe the combat strength of the soldiers in the right town of Nanjing is insufficient, but the spirit and toughness in the battle are definitely not inferior to the elite of the yellow flag, the five-fold defense of the pikemen has been broken, and the last one has been crumbling, and the pikemen of the five defenses that have been broken in front of them have not the slightest panic, and they are once again surrounding the middle position, in a word, that is, not to let you impact our Chinese army, war!

Clusters of spear tips pierced the Manchurian cavalry, even if the Manchurian cavalry was extremely strong, in the face of such a difficult opponent who was not afraid of death, it was also bitter, although these spears were used, they were not as flexible as ordinary knives and guns, but the power was not small, once they were pierced, even if they did not die, they would be seriously injured!

One by one, the Manchurian elite cavalry continued to attack the pikemen, although the pikemen did not lose their fighting spirit, but after all, their strength was slightly inferior, and they kept retreating, defeated, seeing that the Manchurian elite cavalry was about to break through the defense of the front army, even if Wei Wei roared again and again, it was still useless,!

At this time, the musketeers of the Chinese army finally shot, only two hundred musketeers, if they were not gathered together to launch an attack, then the role they could play in the chaotic army was very limited, but now it is not, the Manchurian elite cavalry is still pushed outside, only dozens of steps away from the musketeers, it is the time when the muskets exert their maximum power!

Bang bang bang!

Bursts of gunfire rang out intensively, and in the blink of an eye, two hundred musketeers fired three rounds of fire, and the bullets rained down, rushing straight to the Manchurian elite cavalry!

Muskets again!

Erjin's brain was bruised, now the cavalry is most afraid of artillery is not artillery, after all, the number of artillery is limited, with a whistling sound from afar, as long as it is an experienced veteran, will dodge, but this musket is full of projectiles in the sky, how to dodge?

Sure enough, with the sound of muskets, one by one the Manchurian elite horsemen were shot, and there were terrible screams in their mouths, and many people turned over and fell off their horses, and were directly killed by the Ming army to the ground, and died!

The forward of the Manchurian elite cavalry was in a state of confusion, and in the face of the dense muskets, the momentum of the forward rush was finally contained!

"Order, the striker continues to move forward, kill!"

Erjin let out an angry roar, and the elite of the yellow flag launched an attack on the front again, and the arrogant and fierce spirit in the hearts of the Manchurian people was completely shot out, and the battle array charged, I am invincible! One by one, the soldiers of the Ming army fell under the crazy killing of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and in just a moment, the entire front army still inevitably collapsed!

Chinese Army! Chinese Army!

Now that the phalanx of the pikemen of the former army has collapsed, the Chinese army is directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Manchurian elite cavalry!

Drink!

The infantry battalion of the Chinese army also slowly advanced forward, and the formation of the forward battalion collapsed, so the next thing is for us to play, battle!

Not only did the Chinese army move forward, but even the left and right wings of the infantry on both sides began to squeeze up towards the middle position, and the goose-shaped array against the arrow array to see whether the Ming army's goose-shaped array was first penetrated by the cavalry, or the arrow array was surrounded by the Ming army in one fell swoop!

Due to the strong resistance of the Ming army, the formation of the Manchurian elite cavalry is becoming more and more changeable, in a small space, the cavalry gathered is more and more, more and more dense, above the city, Li Jianfeng and Zhang Ting can see clearly, the time has come, now is the most dense moment of the Manchurian elite cavalry formation, and if the fierce battle continues, I am afraid that the Manchurian elite cavalry will think of the two wings to launch a surprise attack, when the time comes, once the two wings collapse, then Lord Dong will not be able to support it!

"Heralds, artillerymen, hands-on, fire with all your might! Aim for Lao Tzu and hit hard! ”

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

Li Jianfeng gave an order, the artillery on the head of the city rang out one by one, twenty shells roared, and smashed in the array of the Qing army, now because of the strong resistance of the Ming infantry, the Qing army was crowded, seeing the shells flying, even if they wanted to dodge, there was no room to dodge, one shell after another smashed into the array of the Manchurian cavalry, the unlucky cavalry was directly smashed into the head cake by the shells, the shells landed, and directly smashed out a blood line, only twenty shells, It brought nearly 200 casualties to the Qing army, and the Qing army was shaken across the line!

However, this was only the first wave, and the second wave of shells flew right after!

Ergin's face changed greatly, and he roared madly: "The whole army is scattered, scattered!" Dodge the artillery! ”

There is no need for Ergin to roar, the Manchurian elite cavalry has begun to disperse in all directions, but where is such a crowded battlefield that can be easily dispersed?

And it's not just the artillery that will launch a deadly offensive, but also the musketeers hiding behind the wings!

The musketeers also shot, and the eight hundred musketeers on both wings took turns firing, such a dense formation, I am afraid that even with their eyes closed, they can kill a few Manchurian elite horsemen!

The artillery alone is not enough to frighten the Manchurian elite cavalry, and they have not encountered it, during the Battle of Songshan, the Ming army was 140,000, and the eight general soldiers had no less than 80 artillery, which was much more than the current artillery, even if it was a general cannon, the overall power was far greater than the red-coated artillery on the city.

But muskets are different, recruits are afraid of cannons, veterans are afraid of guns, and veterans and generals are afraid of bullets, especially stray bullets, which make people unable to prevent it, and they don't know how to die!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the guns of the Ming army rang out in unison, and when the Manchurian elite cavalry formation was the most dense, it shot out, and the Manchurian elite cavalry vanguard was blinded at once, with heavy casualties, and the entire cavalry forward formation collapsed, not to mention that the Ming army was divided and surrounded, and even the forward assault could not be done, and the chaotic Qing army was running around, and Ergin tried his best to restrain the men and horses, and could not recover the complete arrow formation to attack again.

Yue Le, Yue Le's tactics of defeating the Ming army's infantry in one fell swoop failed completely, and he was completely defeated!
