Chapter 506: The battlefield changes seem to be a real plan

The immersive soldiers couldn't feel any changes, and several infantry regiments in Shandong were still not disbanded.

However, Li Zicheng, who was watching the formation, could see that Shandong's line was depressed. If you exert a little force, you could open a hole in the formation.

Even if the eight infantry regiments in front were defeated, they would only break up one-third of the troops of Jiaozhou Camp on this battlefield. There were a large number of musketeers and an equally stable spear formation behind them. It is hard to say that they did not have the chance to strangle and fight in close combat like this.

If there is a way to achieve the full achievement in one fell swoop, that is the complete plan, and there is such an opportunity in front of you.

The King of Breaking Li Zicheng's hands holding the reins were a little wet. He was about to issue an order, but from the banner and order, he could see that General Quan Liu Zongmin in front had already issued the order.

Since he has the advantage, he must draw a concentrated attack to break that point. Li Zicheng thought of this, and Liu Zongmin thought of this.

The spears of the soldiers in front of Jiaozhou Camp could not be flattened. Yuan Zongdi's soldiers found that they rushed to the front and the casualties were not so difficult to accept.

With the enemy in front of you, it is difficult to stab the spear in the back row. In close combat, the swords and axes in his hand are not at a disadvantage compared to the swords of Shandong soldiers.

The garrisons of the Fourth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment were all red. Such battles were originally a great opportunity to make achievements. If others killed the enemy and made meritorious service, they were dispersed by the thieves' troops, what would their future career look like in the future? Think about it, it would be dark.

"Brothers, please pull away from the thieves in front of you. If you get far, you will take action and push them back!!"

He shouted like this, and as he watched the comrades in front of him cry and fell down one by one, the spearmen behind him were also anxious and poked the spears through the gap between the crowd regardless of their concern.

For every move, a person must scream and fall down. Now the formations in front are in a hurry to beware of each other being crowded. People are next to each other, so there is no need to worry about failure. The only thing you are worried about is to kill your companions or kill your teammates.

In this way, if you do something regardless of it, a small piece of space will be quickly cleared out, but this space will not last long, because more Shun Army soldiers are concentrated in this direction and are ready to continue attacking.

Shunjun also had some method, which was to use the corpse as a cover, push it to the other party, then attack closely, and use short weapons to fight.

The situation on the battlefield has changed subtly. Shunjun found a possible breakthrough in the middle of the battle line and constantly drew the strong soldiers to join this point.

The two regiments kept retreating, while the other six regiments on both sides were constantly drawn, and the enemies they faced became weak because the power of the Shun Army was constantly drawn. Therefore, the battle that had just been stalemate began to change again. The two wings continued to move forward, but the center gradually became concave, and the curve of the formation arc became larger and larger.

The guards of the Fourth and Fifth Regiments fought bloody battles on the front line with axes and guns, and almost at the same time they both received the messenger from the back.

In such a fierce battle, the order was transmitted from the commander to the level of the regiment garrison. The messenger who sent the order had to take a great risk. He almost had to enter the battle of close-knit melee combat, but the messenger who sent the order was also an elite warrior, and they sent the order.

The order from the command from the coach's post reached the hands of the eight regiment guards on the front line. This order made some people feel relieved, but also made some people feel quite angry.

The drums and trumpets of each regiment were heard in sequence, except for the Fourth and Fifth regiments, the rest of the infantry regiments stopped moving forward and set themselves in place, which made the opposite Shun Army infantry breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the archers and bird gun soldiers of the Shun Army were either drawn to the center or consumed most of the attacks in the first wave.

The Jiaozhou Camp suddenly stopped, and the Shun Army infantry on both wings recovered their troops in time and confronted the Shun Army. The orders sounded by the various infantry regiments were not consistent.

The assault team commanded by Yuan Zongdi was repelled by the two regiments in the middle of Jiaozhou Camp without distinguishing their enemies for a distance, and then quickly pounced on them.

Yuan Zongdi felt fortunately that the Shandong soldiers and horses on the opposite side hesitated for a while when the drums and trumpets sounded. The space originally cleaned up was of no use, and was quickly filled in by later people.

The infantrymen of the Shun Army rushed forward and defeated the soldiers of the fourth and fifth regiments step by step, and even the resistance was not so fierce.

King Li Zicheng saw the changes in the battle situation below. He issued orders one by one, and the brigade of cavalry behind him began to slowly assemble. Some commanders hurriedly ran to Liu Zongmin's side, and the infantry that stood in front of the Shun Army and the horses began to slowly dodge to both sides.

The sudden stop of the Jiaozhou battalion spear formation made the soldiers of the Shun Army finally recover. Since the middle can be fought like this, the two sides can also follow suit.

The soldiers also felt a little confident with the urging of the generals. This time they took the initiative to pounce on the infantry array of Jiaozhou Camp. The battle situation began to change at some point, and no one knew what happened.

But not only the two groups in the middle are retreating, but even the groups beside these two groups are being defeated. The only thing that can hold on is the two groups on the left and right sides.

From a distance, the brigade of Shun Army infantry on the gentle slope seemed to be separated to both sides like a tide. The cavalry dressed in the generals were galloping and shouting in the cavalry. The teams of horses that had just become more divergent began to get tranquil.

On the Jiaozhou Camp, except for the two sides, the four groups in the middle were beaten back step by step, and were about to knock it open.

The musketeers who had just withdrawn from the first row did not come forward to support, but started to line up in the back team of the first row, and the musketeers from the eight regiments of the second row also came forward to meet.

Between the hard battle in front and the sixteen regiments standing by behind, a total of 6,400 musketeers from the sixteen regiments lined up to stand by.

The people on the mountain could not see this change clearly. They could only judge that the Shandong soldiers and horses made adjustments to change the disconnection between the sixteen regiments.

"Master, the orders have been passed on and are being implemented now!"

Li Meng blocked the sun with his hands, looked at Li Zicheng's banner in the distance, heard the news from his personal soldiers, and said with a smile:

"I guess Li Chuang thought the opportunity had come!"

Yuan Shizhong, a guerrilla in northern Henan who had just followed the three regiments to the position of the flag, said in a panic:

"Master, what the bandits are preparing for is waiting for the front team to get entangled, waiting for both sides to be tired and restored to come out to defeat our army. Now the regiments in front can no longer withstand it. Please send Beiyi to lead troops to support the front..."

Li Meng put down his hand and glanced at Yuan Shizhong beside him, knowing that the leader of the little Yuan camp had no chance to make contributions since he was surrendered. This battle was because he was extremely eager and took the initiative everywhere.

No matter how you look at the situation in front of you, the Shandong soldiers were caught by the Shun Army because of a little negligence, and they invested their efforts to turn the Shandong soldiers' negligence into the current retreat. On many battlefields, such a situation is already very telling. If it continues like this, it will probably soon turn from retreat into a big defeat. The 16,000 infantrymen in front were dispersed by the horse team, which would be a disaster.

The horse team drove away the chaotic infantry and then continued to scramble the relatively strict formation behind them, and then a complete defeat.

The judgment below is correct, but no one realizes that this era has changed, and Jiaozhouying is at the forefront of the times in the East.

"Yuan Guerrilla, don't worry so much. These three regiments were brought to you, but they were not to block the mistakes in the front battlefield. You lead people to set off immediately and go to the left wing of the Shun Army, avoid his troops and go around from afar. The deputy commander of the artillery team will take thirty cannons with you."

Li Zicheng's nearly 100,000 soldiers were hugging a large group in front. If he wanted to avoid the blocking of the troops and horses and go to the left wing, he had to go around from afar. Then these three regiments were basically not participating in the battle, and even the effect of restraint was very limited. If the distance was far, the artillery might not be able to hit the other side. Yuan Shizhong would not understand this order no matter what.

Yuan Shi, a guerrilla guerrilla in northern Henan, was different from others. After all, he was a surrendered general and acted more cautiously. When he heard the commander's order, he had to accept it depressedly.

Yuan Shizhong went to gather his troops, Li Meng shook the reins in his hand and said to himself:

"People who can't keep up with this era will sooner or later be eliminated by this era!"

After saying that, he opened his voice and ordered:

"The personal soldiers and teams followed me, and the fifteen three-pound cannons in front of the formation were also followed!"

The eight hundred personal soldiers who were still shooting just now were all hurriedly boarding the horses, and the artillery soldiers there also brought horses and set the artillery onto the cannons.

"Guo Liang, the remaining infantry regiment will come here soon to protect your artillery array and be ready to transfer the array at any time!"

The artillery leader Guo Liang quickly saluted and accepted the order. Those who were transferred were some three-pound field artillery of the regiment, while those who remained in the artillery array were artillery with greater caliber and powerful caliber, so Guo Liang was not afraid.

Just as the soldiers from the personal army began to arrange the team, the commander flag was the morale of the army and could not be moved lightly. The commander flag also belonged to the commander flag and the bronze trumpet. It was not too easy to move.

King Li Zicheng, who saw the mobilization of the enemy below, made him very confused about the actions of the Shandong soldiers. This was a life-and-death battle. Any change was related to the victory, loss, life and death, and there must be his reason, but no matter what, the reason for the mobilization of the Duke of Qi was unable to see.

"Maybe I have fought less and I can't grasp the things on the battlefield..."

Li Zicheng, the king of Investiture, had this idea, but he himself didn't believe it very much, but no matter what, his arrangement in front of the formation could be realized at this moment.

He turned his head and said in a deep voice to the leader of the guard Li Shuangxi:

"Shuangxi, you go and lead the old camp's infantry three thousand, follow Yuan Zongdi, and must open the front of the Lu thief to open the road for the horse army. This matter is important, do you understand!?"

Li Shuangxi, the leader of the personal guard, cried for Li Laiheng's death, his eyes turned red. When he heard the order of the King of Chuang, he immediately focused his head:

"Please rest assured that King Chuang. If Shuangxi can't do it, cut off his head and come to see you!"

The front line of Jiaozhou Camp was increasingly unable to withstand it. The four regiments in the middle retreated step by step, and even the formation of the square formation could not be maintained.

However, from Yuan Zongdi to Liu Zongmin, and even Li Shuangxi, who had just entered the battlefield, were all impressed by the morale and combat skills of the infantry in the Jiaozhou camp. They were so resilient. The Shun Army organized repeated attacks, but only rushed backwards step by step, but did not disintegrate.

Unfortunately, this previously rumored Qi Duke Li Meng was too useless, and the command on the battlefield seemed so ridiculous. This was because the Shun Army seized the opportunity when they took the lead.

When Li Shuangxi led the elite troops of the old battalion to rush over, the Third Regiment to the Sixth Regiment could not resist it. Although the Second Regiment of the First Regiment and the Eighth Regiment of the Seventh Regiment were not moved on both sides, they were afraid of being out of touch with the friendly forces and dared not move forward, so they just stayed in front of them stupidly.

The soldiers of the Shun Army who were rushing to the front were fighting fiercely, but some people felt the troops, because although the various troops of Shandong troops were retreating all the time, the sound of trumpets and drums that could control the rhythm were always ringing rhythmically, although the rhythm had changed greatly compared to when they marched and fought.

"It's about to open up, Dashun's old brother rushed over with me!!"

Li Shuangxi held the weapon in his hand and shouted, most of the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses he led were the core brothers of Li Zicheng, the most combat-capable army in the entire Shun army. With their joining, Shandong's troops that could not support them could not stand it.

Morale is increasing in the constant changes in the situation, and the morale of the Shun Army is increasing in the continuous advancement. In contrast, Shandong soldiers are getting lower and lower.

Suddenly, almost everyone on the battlefield could hear the sharp slip of the bronze trumpet, and it seemed that the trumpeter was blowing the bad sound because of fear.

In the infantry regiment, the flag bearer, drummer and trumpeter are all entitled as non-commissioned officers, because although they do not participate in the battle, they are the work more important than the soldiers. They are the minds and senses of the regiment and constantly issue orders.

Moreover, the flag bearer, drummer, and trumpeter do not have the chance to hold weapons. When fighting, you need to rely on your teammates to cover yourself, which is equivalent to facing the enemy's attack without any concealment, which also requires great courage.

People with such courage must be afraid, not to mention ordinary soldiers. As soon as the slim sound of the bronze horn was blown, several regiments of flag bearers ran quickly towards the back with flags.

The flag is the general, the flag moves, and the flag bearers are all about to run away with the flag, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Although Li Zicheng, the king of Investigation who was watching the formation, did not know the organization and signals of various infantry regiments in Shandong, he also knew that the infantrymen at the Jiaozhou Camp at the foot of the mountain were about to collapse.

He shouted loudly:

"The entire horse army was dispatched to defeat the Lu bandits and continued to rush forward until they penetrated the entire army of the bandits!!!"

The order from the King of Breaking Li Zicheng was immediately issued, and the flag behind him shook violently, and the silent drums were beating together, like thunder.

Seeing the flag and hearing the drums, the cavalry and cavalry that had been pressing behind the infantry formation since the war began, finally started to move.

In front, Liu Zongmin had already ordered the infantry to spread out to both sides, and had already given up a road. Opposite the given up were four regiments of Jiaozhou Camp.

The other side was already sunk into the sun. At this time, the Jiaozhou camp formation was scattered. With the collapse of the Jiaozhou camp, the infantry of the Shun Army assaulted also spread to both sides, because the horses behind were coming.

Unlike the sudden artillery bombardment just now, it is not realistic for the Shun Army's large cavalry to come out in an instant. The front team must move first, the latter team follow, and until the whole army launches together.

At the beginning, it was just a little noisy, and then the ground was about to shake. The place where Shunjun was originally a gentle slope, but at this moment it seemed like the entire slope collapsed and the entire landslides and cracks.

Li Zicheng watched his troops rush down like a tide at the right end of the slope. Since his rebellion started, the refugee army's own fire and the Ming army had never used such a great force in previous battles. He believed that no army could stop it.

This battle was won like this. The deaths of Liu Fangliang, Liu Tichun, He Jin, and Li Laiheng were meaningful. The King of Rebellion Li Zicheng felt a little relaxed.

But suddenly he found something was wrong. What the King of Chuang could see was the left wing of the first front of Jiaozhou Camp, but the two regiments that had dispersed the left wing were not dispersed, nor were there any soldiers running around, although the entire formation had completely dispersed.

But the flag bearer did not drop the flag. The flag bearer just ran behind the two groups that did not collapse at one end of the front, and stood in a corner.

The flag seemed to have determined an endpoint. The soldiers who ran away quickly arranged the array with this endpoint as the benchmark. The two regiments that had just ran away were like this. The soldiers quickly took their seats while running. The cavalry were surging down, blocking the sight of the King of Breaking Li Zicheng looking over there, but he estimated that the same was true for the other side.
