call out.

Boo hoo hoo.

Following the order from the officer in front, the soldiers used all their strength to throw javelins, throwing axes, and spears violently towards the Hou Jin army's battle formation in front.

In an instant, the sky was densely packed, and all kinds of weapons formed one after another, as if it was raining, almost covering the sky and the sun.

But the cavalry of the Hou Jin Army were well prepared. They raised their small bucklers one after another, lowered their bodies, and clung to the horse's back. Some even leaned directly to the side of the horse's back, as if

Juggling in general.

puff.

A javelin hit the head of the horse of a soldier of the Later Jin Army. The horse screamed in pain, blood spattered on its forehead, staggered, and directly threw the soldier of the Later Jin Army on the horse into the air.

After that, the Jin Army soldiers shouted in horror and watched helplessly as his body fell from the air and was trampled into a pulp by a series of horse hooves.

Unfortunately, only a few were unlucky. There were still many Houjin cavalry who broke through the Ming army's blockade and rushed straight towards the Ming army's battle formation.

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help but frown tightly.

At this time, he and Mao Wenlong were located about 120 steps behind the front line of the Ming army. There were dozens or hundreds of rows of Ming army soldiers guarding the front. In addition, they were riding on tall war horses, so they could have a clear view of the entire battle situation.

.

At this time, the Ming army's defense seemed fierce, but no matter the firearms, javelins, or throwing axes, they were still not strong enough. The main reason was that their lethality was too limited and could not cause real damage to the charging cavalry of the Jin army.

.

Even slowing down the cavalry was very difficult.

Now, a head-on confrontation is inevitable.

Beside him, Mao Wenlong's expression was very solemn, and he was obviously very nervous.

"All sword and shield soldiers go forward. Firearms of all kinds fire in the second round!" Mao Wenlong shouted loudly.

The soldiers around him did not dare to neglect and quickly conveyed the order to the front.

The sword and shield soldiers in front were well prepared, relying on the defense line of the chariots, and gathered together to form a city wall of flesh and blood.

In an instant, like an unstoppable wave, the vanguard of the Hou Jin Army rushed to the chariot defense line and violently charged into the Ming Army's battle formation.

For a moment, people roared and horses neighed. It was like the end of the world. The entire battlefield was full of chaos.

Mao Wenlong's face was already a little flushed, and he shouted orders and quickly conveyed them to the front.

Li Yuanqing's expression also began to become serious, staring straight at the battle situation ahead.

Obstructed by the chariot defense line, the speed at which the Jin cavalry rushed to the front of the formation was obviously slowed down, but guided by the inertia of their previous run, their impact could not be underestimated.

A post-Jin Army cavalry must be accompanied by at least two, or even three, and four Ming Army soldiers desperately stepping forward to stop them.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong was well prepared for this. Whether it was sword and shield soldiers, spear soldiers or cannon soldiers, he took the lead in inflicting casualties on the horses of the Hou Jin Army regardless of people.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sounds of various firearms were heard continuously, the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke, and blood was rising. No one on both sides was willing to take a step back, and a desperate fight began in this open wilderness.

Although the soldiers of the Later Jin Army were all brave, the Ming Army was also well prepared. In a short period of time, no one could defeat anyone, and the battle line remained deadlocked near the tank defense line.

At this time, a continuous shout of "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng" suddenly came from not far away. The neat and loud voice continued to rise and fall, it was so penetrating that it almost pierced the sky.

Both Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing's eyes were attracted, and they hurriedly looked towards the left wing to the west.

Different from the main battle formation, the left wing guarded by the Changsheng Battalion had abundant firearms and strong coverage. In addition, Li Yuanqing did not hold back, and the elite pitchers directly participated in the battle. Although the Jin Army's vanguard also broke through the tank defense line, it paid a great price.

An extremely heavy price.

Coupled with the overwhelming strength of the pikemen, the Hou Jin Army had already suffered heavy casualties in just a short period of time. The red Changsheng Battalion battle formation was about to drown the motley vanguard of the Hou Jin Army.

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Yuan Qing, the men of the Changsheng camp are so sharp!"

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Commander, this is mainly because the main force has attracted most of the troops of the Hou Jin Army, so that the men of the Changsheng Battalion on the left wing have more room for maneuver. The left wing should be fine at this time, we must grasp the front

."

Mao Wenlong nodded heavily and laughed: "That's right! Send me the military order, and the sons and gentlemen will go up and kill the dog Tatars first!"

"Yes!" A soldier rushed to convey the order.

The success of the battle in the Left Wing Changsheng Camp gave Mao Wenlong great confidence, and for a while, he felt heroic in his heart.

Inspired by the wave of left-wing slogans, the soldiers on the main frontal defense line also shouted repeatedly, "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories", which was like a wave.

The soldiers of the Ming army stepped forward bravely, and no one was willing to waste this good opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

However, the Hou Jin army was not a vegetarian. Relying on the bravery of their individual soldiers, they were entangled with the Ming army.

For a while, both sides were going back and forth, but no one could quickly settle the situation, and the entire battlefield situation fell into a deadlock.

…………

To the south, in the direction of the Hou Jin Army's battle formation, Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji, Yue Tuo, and Du Du were also closely monitoring the movements ahead.

Mang Gurtai looked solemn and said slowly: "Ming Gouzi is well prepared. The warriors are under great pressure."

Amin said: "What a shame. The left wing of the Ming army is actually guarded by the Changsheng Battalion. If we can't break through the left wing quickly, it will be difficult for me, Dajin, to take the initiative."

Because the right wing of the Ming army was adjacent to the river, it was mostly swamps and tidal flats. At this time, although the weather was cold and the ground was frozen, it was full of potholes and very uneven. In such weather, it was very unfavorable for cavalry charges. Even,

If you charge too fast, your horse will easily stumble.

Daishan nodded slowly, "In this case, we can only break through the Ming army's frontal defense line first. Send my military order to raise the red flag and add three more Niulu to top it!"

"Cha!" The servants around him did not dare to neglect and hurriedly passed the order to the front.

Not long after, there were three more Niulu and more than a thousand Jin cavalry, roaring towards the Ming army's battle formation.

Seeing that Daishan had spent a lot of money, everyone felt more confident.

Amin quickly looked at Huang Taiji who was like an old monk in trance, "Old man, do you have any good ideas?"

Huang Taiji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment and said: "The left wing of the Ming army is guarded by the Changsheng Camp, so we won't touch this hard rock. The front should be Mao Wenlong's main force. It seems that they are just holding on.

I agree with the second brother’s idea of ​​breaking through from the front first.”

Amin couldn't help but sneer, "That's fine. Since the Ming army doesn't need Li Yuanqing as the main force, let's defeat Mao Wenlong first! Come here! Pass my military order! Zhenglan Banner will add five Niulu and attack the front of the Ming army.

!”

…………

Soon, both Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong realized that something was wrong with the situation.

The Hou Jin army on the left wing of the Ming army retreated step by step, but the main follow-up force did not catch up. On the contrary, the Hou Jin army gathered in the front direction.

"These bastards! They are trying to break through from my front!"

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but spat hard and shouted: "Send the order! Let Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan go up, and never take a step back!"

"yes!"

As the order was conveyed to the front line, Zhang Pan and Chen Jisheng, who were standing at the front, did not dare to neglect, and led their troops to join the battle formation, entangled with the Hou Jin army.

The sudden addition of fresh troops slightly stabilized the defeat of the Ming army. Under the loud shouts of officers from various ministries and a large number of Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers, they rushed towards the Hou Jin army one after another.

Unlike the Changsheng Battalion, which relies entirely on teamwork to fight, at Dongjiang Headquarters, although Mao Wenlong also absorbed some of the Changsheng Battalion's group consciousness and training routines, due to many constraints, he only learned a little bit of the Changsheng Battalion.

Especially the grassroots officers under his command are mixed, and most of the time in battles, they still have to rely on personal soldiers to supervise the battle and even rush into battle.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong has sufficient confidence in this regard. After years of hard work, the number of "Mao" soldiers under his command has exceeded a thousand, almost approaching the size of the Li family back then.

Under the supervision of a large number of personal soldiers, the Ming army's battle formation was slightly stabilized, but the front and rear of the tank defense line completely turned into a meat grinder.

At this time, no matter what the formation or coordination was, the Ming army and the Hou Jin army completely fell into the most primitive state of hand-to-hand combat, just to completely eliminate each other physically.

"Quick! Quick! Go up! Go up! Kill the horses first, then kill people! Don't let them connect!"

On the east side of the chariot defense line, Chen Jisheng was already furious. Under the protection of dozens of soldiers, he had reached a dozen steps away from the battle formation, shouting loudly with all his strength.

The defeat in Kuandian at the beginning of the year caused heavy damage to Chen Jisheng's Right Association Headquarters. During these days in Zhenjiang City, due to the entanglement with Li Yuanqing, Mao Wenlong did not give Chen Jisheng enough support, so he could only act anxiously, but had no choice.

But just before the war started, Chen Jisheng reached a compromise with Li Yuanqing. With Li Yuanqing's support, Mao Wenlong finally decided to give Chen Jisheng a chance and gave Chen Jisheng half of his troops, hoping that he could win the war.

Show something.

After several ups and downs, Chen Jisheng also understood the importance of his headquarters. Of course he would not waste this opportunity, even if the dangerous battlefield was just a few steps away, but for the sake of his future, in order to fight for his reputation, and in order not to be beaten by Li Yuanqing, a little guy like him.

Abandoning his team, he had already put his life and death at risk.

At this time, the ground was densely covered with corpses of soldiers from the Ming Army and the Later Jin Army. Coupled with the obstruction of the chariots, the cavalry could no longer give full play to their greatest advantage.

Under the manic roar of the Hou Jin Army officers, many Hou Jin Army soldiers jumped off their horses and began to fight on foot.

More cavalry from the rear Jin army supported the front with a continuous rain of arrows behind them.

Seeing the Tatars gathering in front of him, Chen Jisheng knew very clearly that his sons and men were no match for the warriors of the Jin Army. If they were allowed to connect and form a powerful force, it would be difficult for the Ming Army's defense line to resist them.

It is necessary to separate them while their foothold is not stable and let them fight on their own. The Ming army can take advantage of their numbers and eat away at them bit by bit.

Seeing that Chen Jisheng had rushed here behind him, and the shouts of 'Wansheng' not far away were continuous, his men did not dare to neglect, and rushed forward with all their strength, trying to force the Tatars who rushed forward.

Behind the tank defense line.

The battlefield has completely heated up.

One side is attacking hard, the other is defending, and no one is willing to take a step back.

The Chinese Army and Li Yuanqing also couldn't hold it any longer.

After nearly half an hour of watching the battle, Li Yuanqing felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The men of Dongjiang Headquarters are not brave enough or desperate enough, but they are not well equipped and have insufficient force. Even if they have the desire to kill the enemy and serve the country, many times they are simply powerless and can only take human lives to do so.

These people are all good guys.

"Commander, it's almost time. Let me join the battle!" Li Yuanqing bowed his hands respectfully and looked at Mao Wenlong beside him.
