Chapter 642: All Strong Men Broke Wrists
Just as the Ming army sent two thousand troops to attack the defense line again, two cavalry suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides. They rode on horses and shouted, roaring towards the moving team.
Although this sudden blow caught the marching team off guard, the entire team was well-trained and did not panic.
The two thousand generals looked at each other and stopped.
Then one goes to the left and the other goes to the right, and a loud order: "The sword and shield soldiers come forward, the musketeers, shoot in two sections."
As the order was issued, the two thousand-man teams immediately turned, and the sword and shield soldiers were in front and raised their shields.
They have to use shields to withstand the impact of the enemy's war horses.
The impact must be very tragic, but the result is a broken bone and tendon, which cannot be spared.
But all the sword and shield soldiers still took a step according to the army's requirements. They leaned closely against each other, connecting the shields into a wall, ready to face the fierce impact of the enemy cavalry.
Although there was fear on his face, there was no panic.
In a blink of an eye, the enemy was about to rush to the opposite side.
At this time, the musketeers in the formation fired their first round of shooting.
After a roulette of guns, the attacking enemies were all dismissed.
The first row of musketeers squatted down and loaded bullets, while the second row of musketeers knocked the trigger.
They squatted down again, stood up in the first row, and continued to shoot.
The endless gunfire brought down the storm row by row.
But the speed of the war horses was too fast. After 4 rounds of muskets, they rushed to the front of the team.
As the sword and shield soldiers shouted, the banging sounds formed in a blink of an eye. The horse's neck broke and the shield shattered. The war horse's neighing and the soldiers' screams immediately gathered together.
The enemy who broke the horse's neck, as soon as the war horse fell, soared into the air on the horse's back, waving their big swords into the formation.
"Military soldiers, bayonet fight."
With a command, the musketeers stopped shooting and raised their bayonets to fight the enemy who rushed in desperately.
The shouts and fighting sounds were mixed together.
The surviving sword and shield soldiers immediately raised their shield sword and joined the battle group.
Seeing this situation, Wang Dazhuang immediately ordered the entire army to suppress and annihilate the two enemies who were attacking.
The number of enemies attacked by these two groups was not large, and the combined number was only about 500 people.
Now he wants to completely annihilate these rushing enemies with his large number of people.
The two thousand brothers in front were killed and injured under the sudden impact of the enemy.
But their efforts to make the enemy cavalry's impact speed disappear.
The cavalry would not have much power without the speed of impact.
Thousands of troops on both sides fought together.
Abatai stood on the top of the mountain and saw that he succeeded in attacking. Facing the enemy's entire army, he did not order the cavalry that rushed out to retreat. This was the result he wanted.
He wanted to use the lives of these 500 brothers to disrupt the enemy's formation so that their firearms could not exert their power.
His purpose was achieved.
Abatai stood in the mountains and waved the flag in his hand again.
The remaining Eight Banners soldiers in the defense line immediately dropped their opponents they were fighting in their hands, turned around and ran towards their war horses.
Jump on the war horse and they will be invincible existences.
There was no need to worry about the formation anymore. They began to charge against the Ming army that was fighting together.
About a thousand Eight Banners soldiers are a new force.
Since the Eight Banners soldiers in front had disrupted the formation of the Ming army, they were not hit by the enemy's firepower when they charged.
The war horses galloping at lightning gave their impact the greatest power. In a blink of an eye, they rushed into the core of the position of the Ming army.
The war horses galloped at high speed and knocked away one Ming soldier after another who wanted to stop them.
They rode on the high-speed battle horse, bent down and dragged the steel knife horizontally, and wherever they passed was the rolling heads.
Faced with such a situation, Wang Dazhuang felt bad.
If you continue to fight like this, your infantry will suffer a great loss, and the entire army may collapse.
Grab a thousand generals and give a decisive order: "All swords, shields and soldiers are under your command, and you must entangle the enemy tightly."
Mr. Qian accepted the task without hesitation and shouted at the sword and shield soldiers beside him: "Call them together, sword and shield soldiers, entangle the enemy tightly, and fight to the death without retreating."
All the sword and shield soldiers rushed to the enemy's war horses with their eyes red and their shields desperately. Although they could not knock them down, they slowed down and fell into the war.
Wang Dazhuang ordered again: "Military soldiers, withdraw from the battle group."
The group of people around him yelled loudly at him, causing the musketeers to withdraw from the battle group.
After the musketeers panting, they still roared: "Why let us quit? Why let us abandon the sword and shield soldiers?"
Wang Dazhuang's face was gloomy and ordered again: "Military soldiers lined up outside the formation and shot and killed the enemies in the battle."
Faced with such an order, a hundred households loudly reminded Wang Dazhuang: "Sir, you can't, we will accidentally hurt our brother."
Wang Dazhuang's eyes were red with blood, lifted the horse whip in his hand, and whipped it hard: "Execute the order immediately, otherwise the sacrifice of the sword and shield brothers will be in vain."
The brothers of the sword and shield soldiers stayed on the position, entangled the enemy, and used their sacrifices to exchange for the exit of the musketeers and killed the enemy on the periphery.
It was urgent to wait, and the musketeers' brothers immediately shot at the enemy.
The brothers of the musketeers should try to make their shooting accurate and raise the muzzle as much as possible, and not shoot their brothers.
But even if the musketeers are careful, their own brothers will always be killed by accident.
A musketeer suddenly became stunned and stopped loading ammunition, but muttered to himself.
Wang Dazhuang rushed up, whipped him in the face: "Why don't you load ammunition? Why don't you shoot?"
The soldier's eyes burst into tears, and his lips trembled, "I shot a sword, shield, soldier, and I shot my brother."
Wang Dazhuang gave him a whip again: "You didn't shoot your brother, you didn't."
Then he sighed in his heart and then shouted: "Even if you shoot, you have to kill a few more enemies to avenge him, otherwise wouldn't the brothers of the sword and shield soldiers die in vain?"
The musketeer gritted his teeth and continued to load bullets and shoot.
The enemy riding on the war horse is a living target. As the gunfire sounds burst, one enemy after another falls down the war horse.
And those Eight Banners soldiers who had no war horses and fought in infantry could only be handed over to the brothers of the Sword and Shield Soldiers.
Standing on the top of the mountain and observing the battle situation, Abatai looked at the Ming army's decisive tactics and finally could only stomp his feet and sigh: "I'm counting you as cruel. But even if you annihilate all my soldiers, I can still destroy you. When you rectify and rescue Zhao Xing, you no longer have the strength."
This is what Abatai wants.
At the beginning of the battle, he already understood that his large blade would definitely not be able to stop the Ming army with sufficient number of firearms.
Since you can't stop it, it will consume you, even if you rush to Ajig's battlefield, you will be at the end of your strength and will never have the strength to face Ajig's strong troops.
