Chapter 541 Thunder Showdown (6)
"Bang……"
Seeing that the Tatar cavalry were divided into two parts and inserted into the junction of the three armies diagonally, more than 120 steps away from the First Army array, the musketeers of the First Army quickly broke forward and fired the first shot for the encirclement and suppression to the west of the canal.
The Tartar cavalry were covered with heavy armor, so they were naturally not afraid of the musket barrage that was a hundred steps away. However, the bullet-receiving surface of the war horse was far greater than that of the knight, and it was only the horse's neck and the horse's belly was bulging out, and under the dense barrage, there was no way to guard against it.
Countless war horses were beaten like sieves, and blood shot out, and under the reflection of the sun, a blood-red curtain wall was almost formed.
One side of the cavalry array seemed to be cut by a giant sickle, and the war horse rolled to the ground, either throwing the knight on his back to the ground or pressing on the knight, pressing the knight to pieces, making his bones shattered and unable to form a human form.
The neighing of the war horses and the tragic cry of the knights were mixed with the banging muskets, which seemed so spit out and so miserable...
There was almost no interval, and the second barrage arrived as scheduled, followed by the third barrage...
After the third barrage, the cavalry had rushed to the side of the two wings to drag behind, so the cavalry was hit at the same time on both sides, and the speed of rolling to the ground was faster.
After almost 40% of the staff were reduced, the Tartar cavalry rushed to the bottom of the triangle, got rid of the barrage on both sides, and began to face the forest with spears.
The musketeer after the spear began to shoot. At this time, the shooting effect was obviously not as good as side attacks, and the damage to the heavy cavalry of the Tartars was minimal.
The Tartars finally found an opportunity to strike and shot out a bow and arrow for the first time. The bow and arrow poured on the unarmed musketeers. A large number of vacant vacancy quickly appeared in the dense musketeers array. Countless soldiers fell to the ground and shouted.
The hearts of the spearmen were beating violently with the rhythm of the iron hooves. The sound of their comrades was heard in their ears, their eyes wider than copper bells, and they saw that the Tartar cavalry quickly became bigger, only 10 or 20 steps away from the array, the spearmen let out a scream of screaming: "Huh..."
The howling obviously helped to relieve tension. Amid the roar of heaven and earth, the Tartars desperately pulled the war horse trying to bypass the spear array, and jumped straight and pressed towards the spear tip and soldiers.
In the air, the Tartars stretched out their sabers and chopped the nearby spearmen to the ground.
The howling sounds, like accumulating for hundreds of years, instantly burst out at the junction of cavalry and spearmen, shocking the earth!
War only belongs to warriors. Any coward, please stay away from war!
Countless war horses and Tartars were pierced by spears and pressed heavily on the spearmen, crushing the spearmen's muscles and bones, and both sides died together.
More Tartars used their war horses to block the spear and flew into the spear formation, strangling them with the spearmen.
The musketeers were in groups of five, holding bayonets and joined the strangle. Their cooperation was close, and one musketeer often covered the sabre of the Tartars, while the other musketeers only looked for the Tartars' neck to sting.
If he didn't have the chance to stab the Tartars in the neck, he would directly greet the heavy armor. The strength was so strong that he almost pierced the Tartars' heavy armor. Although the Tartars lost their combat power under such a heavy attack, they would not lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
In this short time, the musketeers seized the opportunity and stabbed the Tartars' throat and face with bleeding holes...
The violent strangulation is the purgatory of the world, with blood soaring, and the remaining limbs flying around...
In the Tartar array, the war drums were rising one after another. The second wave of knights had already launched a charge and quickly fought with the First Army, facing a barrage attack. The third wave of knights was ready to go...
Watching the Tartars launching wave after wave of attack, Wei Yuexiang's steel teeth are almost broken! Although he knows that the Tartars are forcing him to shrink the front line further, he has to shrink.
Because, once the Tartar breaks through the bottom defense line of the triangle formation, it is possible to attack the legion from front to back, causing the legion to fall into a situation of losing sight of one thing and the end of the complete collapse and annihilation of the entire army!
This is something Wei Yuexiang can never accept!
"The second army and the third army will immediately send more personnel to thicken the defense line, and the Tartars must not break through!"
With Wei Yuexiang's order, the legion's array further contracted.
Seeing that the third wave of cavalry of the Tartars was ready to go, but they remained still. Wei Yuexiang gritted his teeth and called Wu Hailiang, the commander of the First Army, and said, "Anyway, the Tartars are going to escape from the southwest. Our Central Plains army has 60,000 to 70,000 troops and half of the Ming Dynasty, and what he did was to encircle and suppress the Tartars. If the Tartars were allowed to jump out of the encirclement calmly, wouldn't they be ashamed to kill more than 20,000 soldiers of our Divine Guard Army?"
Wu Hailiang's eyelids twitched, he saluted, and said loudly: "The soldiers of the First Army went through fire and water, and they were willing to refuse!"
Seeing that before Wei Yuexiang could explain his words thoroughly, Wu Hailiang had already understood the meaning, and he couldn't help but nodded heavily and said, "The Second Army, the Third Army will definitely suffer heavy casualties this time, as for the First Army..."
It seemed a bit difficult to speak. Wei Yuexiang stopped talking, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The task of the First Army is to entangle the main force of the Tartars as much as possible. Now, the Cavalry Army and the Longwu Army are heading here from the north, and General Lin also mobilized Tiger Roar. The Xuanwu Army and the two armies rushed here. As long as they could entangle the Tartars for two hours, even if they had wings, the Tartars would not be able to fly out of our palms!"
As he spoke, Wei Yuexiang's voice gradually became higher and became stern: "With the Tartars being about to retreat, I order the entire First Army to take the initiative to attack and entangle the Tartars!"
Wu Hailiang gave another solemn military salute and said resolutely: "Receive the order!"
...
Within a dozen miles of miles, the battlefield was a bit strange. In the eastward direction of the north, tens of thousands of Tartars, heavy cavalry and light cavalry were waiting for battle, and more than 3,000 heavy cavalry were led but not triggered. In the triangular formation in the south, near the bottom line, thousands of Tartar cavalry rushed left and right, but were restricted by the spearmen and musketeers of the Divine Guard Legion, and fell into a fierce battle face to face. Countless knights were stabbed off the horse, and countless spearmen and musketeers were trampled on by iron hooves.
At the tip of the triangle formation, the soldiers of the First Army of the Divine Guards turned a blind eye to the battle behind and stared at the Tartars in front of them with cold eyes, as if they were accumulating strength.
"Send to death... This is to die..."
Before the First Army launched an attack, Ajige keenly realized that the formation of the First Army was adjusting and seemed to take the initiative to launch an attack. He couldn't help but be stunned and said, "From Liaocheng to Zaoqiang, we walked hundreds of miles all the way. Can these southern barbarians actually run? Also, infantry attacked the cavalry. Do the southern barbarians think that they have long life..."
Abatai, who was standing beside him, was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was stunned for a while and said to Ajige: "Thirteenth brother, why not destroy this group of southern barbarians before the 14th brother arrived?"
Azig suddenly fell into hesitation.
According to Dorgon's military order, it should be a group of Shenji Legion that was in front of him, and then led the army to quickly jump out of the encirclement and wait for Dorgon to join the west of Zaoqiang. Everything was going well. Ajige was about to order the entire army to flee to the southwest. Now the first army has more than 6,000 troops want to encircle from the southwest!
By eliminating this enemy, the entire Shenji Legion may lose more than 600% of its personnel, which will be basically abolished. Dorgon can calmly lead his army out of the encirclement. However, in this way, the army will be delayed for several hours and may be chased by the rapidly approaching cavalry and Longwu Army.
If we ignore these more than 6,000 troops and circle a larger circle, Ajige and Abatai can certainly jump out of the encirclement, but the First Army successfully blocked Dorgon's road to advance. The Longwu Army and the Cavalry Army are not far from Dorgon's troops. At that time, will Dorgon still have a chance to escape?
The other party has a total of 150,000 troops!
Half an hour ago, Ajige asked Wei Yuexiang a difficult problem, and now Wei Yuexiang made Ajige hesitate again!
"kill……"
The rumbling war drums were like storms and rainstorms, and suddenly rang. The huge flag was not willing to be lonely, and it made a sound of frightening sound in the gentle wind of spring. Under the guidance of the war drums and flags, the soldiers of the First Army finally launched, looking at tens of thousands of Tartars from the southwest like tigers down the mountain!
"kill……"
The shouts of killing were earth-shaking. Obviously, Wei Yuexiang had a good ability to grasp the fighter jet.
When the Jingzhou army moved, Abatai was so anxious that he scratched his head and shouted: "Thirteenth brother! Is it advancing or retreating? I'll give you an explanation! If we're late for a moment, we can't leave even if we want to!"
Azig felt that his heart was about to jump out of his stomach, and his teeth almost bit his lips, and he instantly shouted: "I'm going to die together!"
...
The drums and horns were fighting, and the war drums of both sides seemed to be fighting spirit, beating loudly, urging the warriors to advance!
The cavalry can only play their advantages in movement. Without saying a word, Abatai led the third wave of heavy-armed cavalry that had been prepared, slightly turned the horse's head to the southwest direction and began to accelerate the impact.
The sound of iron hooves became more and more urgent, and the infantry in front of them became closer and closer. Without waiting for the cavalry to accelerate to the fastest, barrage and crossbows were fired at the same time. Then, the spearmen and the heavy cavalry of the Tartars were strangled together.
At the moment of contact, almost hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers were knocked away. What followed was a face-to-face confrontation, a battle between blood and flesh, and a battle of will!
Wu Hailiang ordered the first battalion to welcome the frontal charge of the Tartars, while the second battalion and the third battalion quickly advanced from the drag-back wings and attacked Abatai from the side.
The moment he contacted, he suffered a great loss, but under Wu Hailiang's dispatch, the side attacks of the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion made Abatai scream and slowly reverse the situation.
What made Abatai even more crazy was that the musketeers were extremely vicious. Before taking over the battle, they always opened fire suddenly within a distance of several feet, smashing the heads of the Tartar cavalry like watermelons, and then rushing up to completely wipe out the cavalry. These musketeers would even retreat and reload under the cover of the spearmen!
Abatai was completely at a disadvantage, and the number of cavalry decreased sharply.
Dada dada...
The cavalry in the rear of Azig was ready and walked around behind the third battalion, launching an impact on the third battalion like thunder.
Chapter completed!
