The thirty-eighth chapter of the common servants and the gentleman's golden drums (twenty-three)
Many people ran away and turned around and bumped into the person who was still rushing forward, and passed on this panic to others.
Many people heard the rushing drums coming from the righteous master and the terrifying neat steps.
The spearmen of three companies and the musketeers of one company launched the impact at the same time as the orders.
The Yue people were already in chaos, and even if the impact was not large at this time, it could still create a overwhelming momentum.
King Shu Qing shouted, and the musketeers of this company threw away the musket, took out a short sword from his waist, followed in the center of the two spearmen companies, and rushed towards the already disintegrated Yue people.
The Yue people no longer have the will to fight. The task of these four companies is to take advantage of the chaos of the Yue people to rush into the formation, so that the Yue people will continue to retreat and have no chance to assemble.
The musket is useless.
All that can be used is daggers and daggers, or some people picked up spears thrown by the Yue people.
There were only 600 people in four companies, but the Yue people on the opposite side had already been defeated. These 600 people chased more than 3,000 people running backwards, like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
The more determined you pursue, the more people will have no chance to assemble.
Aggregation requires nobles, but the nobles are already on the run. Who will stand up and gather the team? Why should a small disciple have such ability? Why should he have such a mind? Whoever runs faster will win death. Those nobles have martial arts when attacking, but when they run, they are not the same, and they may not be able to escape from the nobles.
Gathering requires space, otherwise it will be in chaos and we don’t know each other. How can we re-arrange the array? If we don’t make a random array, how can we fight?
The four charity divisions that rushed out knew their mission very well. After King Shu Qing threw away the musket, he quickly killed a Yue man and stabbed the back of a Yue man who was running away from behind.
The spearmen of the three companies still maintained the most basic formation and began to chase, but the formation also began to scatter. However, this was not important anymore. As long as you rush down, the Yue people would have no chance to fight back.
After these four companies rushed out, the fifteen cannons hidden behind them immediately began to adjust their direction. The sight that was originally blocked by their own soldiers was completely empty and they were able to participate in frontal battles.
After confirming that the threat on the right had been lifted, the remaining six companies of the 7th Brigade quickly began to turn and head towards the most intense battle.
…………
The frontal battle is much more tragic and anxious than the one-hit on the right.
The Yue people gathered the archers first and shot against the cannons and musketeers here. The archers did not gain any advantage, and the charity army also lost a lot.
Then some prisoners of Yue people launched an attack. After being fired by muskets for a round, they fought with the spearmen who formed the formation.
The elite gentleman army has also joined the battle. With their ability to train from childhood, they are the absolute elite and main force in the Vietnamese army.
However, there are many people who have undergone three years of full-time training. As long as the formation of dense spear formations is not dispersed, it is difficult to rush into it.
The Musketeers of the Yishi's Musketeers no longer have the chance to shoot volleys.
The front row was drawn out to participate in the spearmen's battle, and the spearmen company that was replaced behind was also blocking the gaps.
In the back row, retreat to the back, continue to load, and fire at will.
The Yue people who rushed over were like the rising autumn water. The military formation of the Yishi Army was like a dam. It seemed that as long as the water was larger, it could overflow the dam, and at least see hope for victory.
King Yi of Yue also had a new understanding of the tenacity of the righteous master, and he became more convinced that the team he selected was the elite among the righteous master who could fight in the field.
Now the two sides are fighting together, and King Yi of Yue has also observed the movements of the left wing and the central army of the Yi army. It seems that the left wing and the central army of the Yi army are also preparing to support here.
However, the speed of movement was too slow. King Yi of Yue felt that he had made a mistake in his judgment. The left wing and central army of the Yishi had more defense and insufficient offense.
The brigade-level square formation on the far left of the righteous master was indeed moving, slowly moving forward. But in the eyes of King Yi of Yue, the speed of the large square formation was like a turtle on land. At this speed, it would be dark when it moved here.
Before dark, of course, the battle has to end. Both sides cannot fight. If they cannot eat the Mo family charity master in front of them before dark, Yue Wang Yi also understood that there would be no need to fight this battle.
But the ability of the elite charity in front of him really made King Yi of Yue sigh and envious.
In the past few wars, as long as the Gentleman Army began to fight, the opponents often collapsed in an instant, and there were few accidents.
Now, I have gathered more than 20,000 people, and there are only 7,000 people on the other side, but in this way, I have not chosen to form a formation to defend the dead. Instead, I have used tricks to take the initiative and once again defeated the left wing he sent to encircle.
King Yi of Yue looked at the deserter who was scattering on the left wing and cursed in his heart.
The left wing was originally bounded by the right side of the righteous master, but he did not want to be defeated by a partial army. Not only did he not encircle the enemy, but he was threatened by the righteous master.
The battlefield was originally chosen by the righteous master to be too narrow and could not be fully expanded. Or because of the vulgarity of the two supporting points, the Yue people who thought about attacking had no need to unfold the front at the beginning - they were given more than 10,000 people to unfold on the left side of the fortress, which was meaningless. They could not avoid the fortress and could not attack the righteous master's side, and could not join the frontal battle, which was equivalent to death.
King Yi of Yue was always on guard against the cavalry that appeared in the Yishi Division during the previous battle.
In addition, the fifteen cannons just now suddenly appeared, and once broke the current left wing. King Yi of Yue was always worried about where the horse-riding soldiers of the Yishi Master were hiding, waiting for the opportunity to give him a full blow, so many people were still guarding him.
The Mo family had a criminal record, and there was a criminal record of attacking the King of Chu with hundreds of dead soldiers under Shangqiu City, so King Yi of Yue was worried that the cavalry were waiting for the opportunity to raid him.
He also left two thousand elite soldiers of the Gentleman Army and many disciples and priests who remained unmoved.
Now the left wing collapsed again, but King Yi of Yue did not dare to move the elites around him, but ordered the temple area to lead two thousand disciples to join the battle of the left wing.
The fifteen artillery that suddenly exposed and the remaining six companies of the 7th Brigade brought great pressure to King Yi of Yue.
He really didn't expect that when his side had the advantage in numbers, this righteous army still dared to take risks. After taking the initiative to counterattack his left wing with a trick, he sent hundreds of people to pursue him, and the remaining situation was encircled.
As for those defeated soldiers, King Yi of Yue no longer had the mind or energy to take care of them. Now he was fighting for time. When will the main force of this righteous army collapse?
It seems that it is really shaking, but the battle situation on the left wing has brought too many turning points. Once the fifteen gates and the nine hundred people are surrounded, the outcome is unknown.
On the Seventh Brigade, Liuzhi and the brigade coach are very clear about their tasks and advantages.
The formation of Yueren needs space to be maintained. Yueren's left wing was broken again, and six hundred people were sent to pursue him so that he could not gather again. In this way, Yueren's wings were exposed.
After the remaining six companies were in full, cooperating with the fifteen artillery to surround the Yue people's flanks would be equivalent to reducing the pressure on the front.
It is impossible to defeat the main force of Yue Ren by these nine hundred people, but these nine hundred people can seriously reduce the combat power of Yue Ren.
The battlefield requires space. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, if the two wings cannot be expanded, the front can only squeeze out soldiers with a population of similar numbers as the Yishi.
The left wing does not collapse, the more troops the more people can deploy, and the ugly situation of the righteous division will be.
As the left wing collapsed, the Seventh Brigade was in a forbidden place. While the Vietnamese flank was threatened, they could only squeeze out the already limited battlefield space to a place to fight against the 900 people of the Seventh Brigade.
The more squeezing, the harder the formation of a man is, and it is impossible to be implemented. Expand to the right, and the central army of the Yishi Division is located on the right, and there is no room for it.
The task of the Seventh Brigade now is to cover these fifteen guns, take advantage of the established musketeers and enough distance space to cause the greatest panic on the left wing of the Yue people and squeeze the Yue people's space.
So after the six companies reorganized the team, they quickly pressed from the side to the Yueren, taking advantage of their own maneuver speed, forcing the Yueren to make changes that continue to spread on the left wing.
King Yi of Yue was worried about the existence of the five hundred cavalry and did not dare to let the front continue to spread to the left, because the original left wing had collapsed and he was spreading to the left wing, so there were loopholes everywhere, and he was likely to be surrounded by the cavalry of the Yi Division.
At the same time, if the two thousand people in the temple area continue to move side by side, it will take too much time. The battlefield is already chaotic, and the mobility of the disciples is too far from that of those who are the Yishi. If they really go around to the left and continue to threaten, it may take half an hour. Who knows what accident will happen in half an hour?
Instead of doing this, it is better to maintain the existing battlefield space. The two thousand people in the temple area did not continue to move to the left and continued to create flanks, but directly joined the battlefield in the middle and withstand the nine hundred people of the 7th Brigade.
Otherwise, if the left wing moves to re-expand, it is equivalent to half an hour. The nine hundred people from Yishi can directly join the battlefield, while the two thousand people in the temple area are equivalent to non-existence within half an hour.
The battlefield that was already very dense was even more dense with the addition of these two thousand people in the temple area. However, the Yue people's battle formation was not as dense as the Yishi Spear Formation, and the routines of the two sides' military formations were completely different.
Those who hold swords and shields need twice the space of the spearman to display. If they are really pushed into someone, it will be difficult to exert all their advantages.
But now King Yi of Yue has no other choice, so he can only hope to eliminate this righteous master quickly, withdraw from the battlefield quickly, and then slowly siege the city in the future.
Liuzhi and the brigade commandered the sixth companies of the 7th Brigade, which had approached the left side of the Vietnamese Central Army, but did not immediately start a hand-to-hand combat, but instead ordered the musketeers to line up in five rows and use sequenced shooting to strike with firepower.
Because these brigades that strengthened the Musketeers at the beginning of the change, when Liu Finger was sent to the 7th Brigade as a brigade representative, Shi told him: these brigades rely on muskets to kill people, and the spearmen existed just to cover the musketeers.
Now with three spearmen companies pursuing the defeated soldiers on the left wing of the Yue people, the ratio of musketeers and spearmen in the remaining 7th Brigade has reached one-to-one, and there is no advantage in fighting in close combat.
So, fifty steps away from the Vietnamese, the six companies of the 7th Brigade stopped and the musketeers began to shoot in turn.
The fifteen turning artillery also began to bombard the increasingly dense central army, which was squeezed and denser.
