The smoke from the battlefield spreads to the sky, allowing the geese returning north to avoid it.

If you can use the eyes of the wild goose, you will see an extremely shocking scene of countless cavalry carrying the smoke and dust in the sky and rushing towards the nine-grid square from all directions!

The cavalrymen with red tassels and blue armor waved the empty three-eyed guns as long-handled hammers, shouting, trying to disrupt and split the thin battle formations of their soldiers.

However, this hollow formation is currently the optimal solution for infantry to deal with cavalry.

On the surface, the more dense the people, the more conducive it is to resist the impact of cavalry, just like the Spanish phalanx. But in fact it is not.

How to use the best umbrella?

First of all, only the musketeers in the first three rows can output damage. Starting from the fourth row, a large number of soldiers in the inner layer of the phalanx were blocked by the people in front and could not enter the battle at all.

Moreover, the huge kinetic energy of the cavalry to accelerate several hundred meters can knock five infantry into the dense formation, and at the same time make the five infantry around him unstable. It is equivalent to a cavalry crashing into it, which can cause ten infantry to lose their combat capabilities.

The dense phalanx is equivalent to completely absorbing the damage of the cavalry. Instead, the loose and hollow formations are less damage.

So intuition is often inaccurate, but mathematics never lie.

A good formation requires as many soldiers as possible to effectively fight, so that the overall output of higher damage can be output. For long-range troops, there must be a longer front line, which can also allow as few soldiers as possible to face the collision of individual cavalry.

So the hollow square array of three rows of battle lines emerged.

Musketeers changed from occupying the area of ​​the square array to occupying the circumference of the square array. This revolutionary progress increased the firepower of the square array three times.

Moreover, whether it is the number of platoons in the phalanx of the soldiers or the distance between the battalions, they are all the optimal solutions obtained after rigorous calculation and practical testing.

Paired with the excellent performance of Wanli rifle, the cavalry, the former king of battlefield, sounded the death knell of exiting the stage of history!

But no king will willingly give up his throne. Even if he is destined to end, he still has to fight for dignity and give himself a decent curtain call...

Despite the unprecedented fierce fire attack, the cavalry of the Shenshu Camp continued to go on like a moth to the flames.

Seeing that the battle situation ahead was tight, Yin Bingheng resolutely threw his reserve team into the battlefield.

Under the efficient killing of the soldiers, the number of cavalry in the official army continued to increase every moment, just like they could be resurrected from the dead.

The entire square formation was detoured and encircled by the official army, especially the battalion formation on both wings, which was under tremendous pressure.

The desperate cavalry used their flesh and blood to flatten the barbed wire between the battalion formations, and surrounded the third battalion formation in the northeast corner of the nine-grid grid.

Seeing the fiercely large number of cavalry coming over the sky, the fighting spirited militia who were inspired by speeches and war in the morning, I felt fear again at this moment. Many people's hands began to tremble, and the loading movements began to deform, and they could not stuff the damn strip into the barrel...

Even the members of the security detachment began to get nervous.

Fortunately, the inner guard detachment is in front of it. Their combat effectiveness, fighting will and sense of honor are so high that they completely surpass the enemy and surpass all the army in the world!

"Guards!" The third battalion commander with the first-level combat hero medal hanging on his chest raised his command sword high!

"Fight to the death and never retreat!" The inner guards shouted loudly in unison, and the spirit of the somewhat shaken militia was refreshed.

An enemy continued to rush within 30 meters, and the military musicians were still shaking the snare drums steadily! The soldiers in the inner guards were still loading the bullets in an orderly manner, steadily raising their guns to aim without any wavering. They fired at a jaw-dropping speed.

What's the use of a few cavalry rushing in front of you? The rifles and bayonets of the inner guards quickly stabbed out at the same time, but the horses were beyond the reach of the man...

With a strong backbone, the soldiers behind him also stabilized and kept shooting and shooting, finally overcoming a difficult period. Once the critical point passed, the pressure quickly reduced.

In fact, the cavalry rushed into the "hutong" between the battalions and the phalanx, and they were killed by themselves. Because they would be attacked on both sides. So although it looked scary, they were actually killed soon.

When the cavalry behind found that no matter how the comrades in front of them attacked, it would be useless. Their bodies were constantly dying and the accumulated bodies of horses had even seriously blocked the subsequent war horses from advancing, they finally collapsed.

I don't know who was the first to turn his horse and escape, and then it spread like an avalanche. The officials and cavalry behind no longer had the courage to fight. They left the infantry behind the Five Army camps and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

The cavalry rushing in front immediately fell down the order, quickly turned their horses and fled in panic. They also looked back from time to time, fearing that they were killed by the terrible muskets of their soldiers.

However, the company commanders on the front line issued an order to stop shooting, inspect equipment, and transport the wounded...

The purpose of this battle is to stop the battle. At present, a circle with a radius of one mile outside the formation has already flowed into a river, and there are densely packed with corpses of bankrupt people and horses.

The blood has flowed enough, so there is no need to attack the deserter anymore.

Soon, the casualties were summarized to Zheng Yiluan.

"Four people were killed in battle, eighteen seriously injured, and sixty slightly injured." The chief of staff of the detachment reported.

"Take a quick treatment." Zheng Yiluan frowned slightly. To be honest, the fighting will of the three major camps was a bit beyond imagination. He thought that after a few rounds of gunfire, he would be defeated. Unexpectedly, they could force their soldiers to solve the problem with bayonets at one point.

These seriously injured were basically injured by the cavalry's three-eyed musket or were hit by war horses during close combat...

"I'm still a little too arrogant..." He couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.

In fact, the internal security forces are also equipped with the "hand-turning tube cannon" that shows its power in Siam. Although the air leakage is serious and the range is less than 200 meters, the martial arts in the world are only fast and cannot be broken. The extremely high rate of fire allows it to create barrage and block the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the Inner Guard Detachment went north to catch wild boar skins, so how could this kind of melee artillery be used? Later, their mission was to defend Tangshan City. Once the trenches were dug and the barbed wire were pulled, there was no need for this kind of killing weapon that could be called a "logistics nightmare".

Moreover, the hand-cranked pipe cannon has complex designs and many parts. Without detailed drawings, it is hard to imitate it even if Tangshan Farm Tool Factory is unable to imitate it.

Zheng Yiluan originally thought that there would be no need for a redirect cannon, and there would be no casualties...

Shaking his head and putting away his inappropriate emotions, he ordered in a deep voice: "Order the first battalion, the third battalion, the artillery battalion to stay behind, and the rest of the troops advance!"

‘Da, dada...dada...' The loud military trumpet sounded.

The soldiers of the battalions who were resting on the spot and tidying up their equipment immediately stood up and lined up again.

After the commanders of each battalion commander conveyed the commander's order, except for the two battalions that had been consumed so much and the bulky artillery battalion, the other seven battalions stepped on drums to keep their formation moving forward.

Seven hollow square formations lined up in a row, stepped across the battlefield where corpses were everywhere, and crushed their foreheads towards the infantrymen of the Five Military Camp opposite, full of oppression.

The officers and soldiers of the Five Military Barracks witnessed the entire process of their soldiers killing cavalry. They were already scared and scared, and they had no courage to stand in front of these terrifying killing gods.

The two sides were still a mile away, and the infantry turned around and fled. The officers couldn't stop them, so they had to run away as well.

The Shenji Camp behind him had no protection from the Five Military Camps, and even the deputy general, so he naturally had a sense of peace of mind.

So a wonder appeared on the Jingdong Plain.

The soldiers of the seven battalions kept their troops in line, and drove the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who were ten times more powerful than them and threw away their armor and ran away with their heads in their arms, only to regret that their parents had fewer legs.

Yin Bingheng, the admiral of the Beijing camp who was watching the battle in the back formation, felt that the sky was about to collapse.

He thought that the situation might be unsuccessful, and that he might lose, but he never expected that he would lose so quickly and thoroughly!

From the first shot to now, it has not been an hour since my 100,000 army was defeated.

The experienced veteran general naturally understood that there was no such thing as escaping at the moment of battle, but not all. Once a large number of soldiers began to escape at the moment of battle, even the gods could not save them.

What makes people even more desperate is that this time, I have taken advantage of the right time, place and people, and besieged ten times the elite troops, but I still lost so badly.

"There is no hope..." The old admiral rolled in tears, his lips trembling, and suddenly felt a sudden burst of agitated and vomited old blood.

I had just had time to say "retreat quickly" and fainted.

Seven thousand children broke through the official camp and chased Chaobai River.

Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled to the Chaobai River first.

At this time, the river surface had melted away. On the river surface, which was more than 300 meters wide, there was only a mere pontoon bridge connected by a boat and a wooden board.

In order to compete for whom to get on the bridge first, the officers and soldiers of each battalion fought fiercely, fighting and robbing each other, and the scolding was shocking.

Just as they were about to shoot out their brains, a flash of light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and a shocking explosion, the floating bridge was blown to the sky.

The defeated soldiers on the bridge were also sent to the sky at the same time. The broken limbs and bodies fell down with broken wood pieces instantly dyed the river surface red.

The defeated soldiers were stunned for a long time before they were suddenly awakened by the sound of the death drumbeat that was getting closer and closer. Someone impulsively dived to escape, but the river that had just melted ice in early spring was turbulent and cold, mixed with ice cubes of large and small. Almost no one could swim opposite, and was paralyzed by the cold, which made the river water washed away...

More soldiers cried in despair, turned around and kowtowed hard to beg for mercy.

At this time, the soldiers began to shout with a loudspeaker.

"Those who surrender are exempt from death! Surrender will not be killed!"

"Soldiers treat prisoners preferentially, and they don't beat or scold them, but they still care about their food..."

The defeated soldiers were as if they were amnesty and rushed to put down their weapons, take off their armor, kneel down and raise their hands to surrender.

Really, why didn’t you say it earlier? It made us run away...

The Battle of Three Rivers, which determined the fate of Zhu Ming's royal family, came to an end.

In this battle, the three camps of the ace troops directly under Emperor Wanli were completely wiped out.

Among them, 4,100 officers and soldiers were killed, and 57,000 injured or surrendered and captured, including Yin Bingheng, the admiral of the Beijing Camp.
