Therefore, he led his army to fight and retreat, and urgently reported his father to his father, explaining the Ming army's counterattack route in detail. Whether to send troops to support or directly attack the Ming army, he was waiting for his father Daishan's decision.

There are more than ten miles to Shichengyi, and Sahalian is very anxious. Once occupied by the Ming army, it means that he has a solid foothold and can continue to move forward step by step for the camp.

The vision suddenly became wide, and a large open area was revealed in front of people. Sahalian was excited and this was the place he chose to fight back. Whether he could repel the Ming army depends on the battle here.

Obviously, the Ming army was also familiar with the terrain. The ves and battalions advanced along the main road slowed down, and the troops drove out in units of battalions and gradually expanded their arrays in open areas.

Town, association, regiment, battalion, general flag... This is the organization of the new army of the Ming army. Dongjiang Town has a total of 28,000 troops, with each cooperative warrior of 6,000; each cooperative three regiments are 2,000; each regiment is divided into three battalions, with each battalion of more than 600.

The battle formations trained by the new army are mainly battalions, with relatively few people being taken, and the formation of troops is relatively fast.

According to the weapons equipment of the Dongjiang Army's associations, spears and swords and shields account for about one-quarter, while the rest are bayonets.

In other words, the first battalion of war soldiers had nearly 200 cold weapons. Needless to explain, the spear, sword and shield were naturally at the front of the battle formation, and the musketeers were behind them.

Specifically for each unit, the proportions are slightly different. For example, Zhang Pan's left alliance and Kong De's right alliance have similar organizational structures due to long-term coordinated combat.

Because Zhang Pan reads and reads, Kong Youde is envious and respects it very much. Zhang Pan reduces cold weapons in each battalion, but adds grenade vehicles, so Kong Youde also learns it.

On the open field, with the ves on the main road as the center, the Ming army launched four battalions, each battalion being only a hundred meters apart. Together with the sound of drums and trumpets, they pushed forward again.

Three rows of spears pointed obliquely towards the sky, shining with cold light under the sun; their armor was complete, their iron faces were fierce, and their footsteps were firm, and thousands of Ming troops were advancing like walls, giving people a sense of oppression.

Sahalian observed for a while and knew that he could not wait any longer.

The car array on the road is not easy to mess with. It is loaded with Francs, which can spray out hundreds of projectiles. In addition, the Ming army's muskets are fired behind the car. He has tried to attack and has suffered a loss.

Therefore, the Ming army that was deploying formations in the wild is obviously easier to deal with than the chariot camp, although this looks like it.

Amid the whimpering horns, Jiannu's cavalry charged. The iron hooves stepped on the ground, rumbling, and shouting and roaring, the momentum was amazing.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that Jiannu's charge is not a straight front pounce, a bit oblique, or with a curve.

Jiannu frowned one by one, extremely vicious, shouting wildly, rushing towards the Ming army like a fierce god.

The flag changed, the drum and horn sounded, and the Ming army also responded. The three rows of long spearmen squatted, kneeled or stood, and the spear pointed forward, like dense forests.

There was still a one-meter gap between the spearmen. A heavy musket, supported by the support of the pole, pointed the black muzzle forward.

The Jiannu cavalry began to rush fiercely and fiercely, but slowed down halfway. Then they turned around at a distance of about a hundred meters and swept across the Ming army's battle formation.

It turned out that this was the tactic of seducing the enemy that Jiannu used to use, which was to lure the Ming army into firing and shooting with the momentum of impact.

But they miscalculated. The Ming army's battle formation was as unmoved as a mountain, its guns were not fired, and its cannons were not loud. The Ming army soldiers were not making noises and chaotic, and they watched Jiannu quietly as if they were watching a circus.

Kong Youde sat on the horse, and sneered under the commander behind the formation. This tactic has been discussed many times in martial arts, and the specifications of musket shooting have long been clearly written in the practice scriptures.

Of course, this is also the result of long-term rigorous training.

Ask those musketeers, who has never been beaten by the instructor? The movements are irregular, the order is reversed, the order is executed incorrectly... and even if you are brave, you will be punished.

Strict training to form proficient operations like conditioned reflexes, and then continuously increase combat experience.

From small battles to major battles, from defense to attacks. After a year of polishing, the Dongjiang Army was finally able to compete with Jiannu in the wild on the basis of meeting certain conditions.

Of course, the defects of the melee gun are also unavoidable. But in Zhang Pan and Kong Youde's view, not defeating in melee combat, or being able to persist for a short time is already the guarantee of victory.

The first wave of Jiannu cavalry failed and returned; the second wave of cavalry rushed forward again, making louder shouts. Moreover, they advanced more than ten meters, closer to the Ming army's battle formation.

It is still tempting, but the provocation is even stronger. It not only tests the psychological quality of the Ming army, but also means to anger the Ming army.

The Ming army's battle formation was still silent, and the soldiers seemed to have solidified, and only the flags in the formation fluttered in the wind.

When the third wave of Jiannu cavalry rushed forward, Kong Youde issued a general order. The sound of war drums rang rhythmically and stopped soon.

The middle and lower-level officers shouted in the battle formation to command. The musketeers who were about to shoot began to move, clamped the burning fuse on the dragon head, and aimed at the front through the gaps in the aisle in the battle formation.

The third wave of Jiannu Iron Cavalry rushed over, getting closer, with a stronger sense of oppression, hoping to achieve the goal of luring the Ming army to open fire.

This time they got what they wanted. When they swept across the Ming army's battle formation, the swan sound suddenly rang out in the Ming army's array.

After a short interval, fire flashed in the Ming army's battle formation, clusters of white smoke rose up, and continuous shooting finally broke out.

In the eyes of Sahalian and other Jiannu, a distance of sixty or seventy meters is also safe. But their empiricism is the price of blood, which is also the consequence of ineffective information and inaccurate information.

The heavy lead bullet flew over a distance of dozens of meters in an instant, and blood mist splashed among the Jiannu cavalry that was surging horizontally, screams and wailings and neighing of war horses resounded throughout the field.

Whether it is a man or a horse, the lead bullet fired by the heavy convex gun is knocked down with one shot, and can even penetrate two people or knock down two horses.

Moreover, although Jiannu's cavalry was wearing armor, they were not double or third. If that was too heavy, it would affect the speed of the war horses.

Therefore, the power of the heavy grenade gun is even more fierce. As a tent, blood rain splashes, the Jiannu cavalrymen are overturning their horses, and they are in chaos.

The comrade in front drew his gun and flew away. Zhang Xiaoxi stepped forward, steadily put the eagle gun on the fork, clamped the fuse, and aimed at it with his shoulder.

The plate machine was snatched off, accompanied by a roar, and the butt pushed back against his shoulder. Even with the buffering device, the recoil was much greater than that of the Rumi gun.

Zhang Xiaoxi had adapted to this force, and only one side of his body removed most of the force, and the thick shoulder pads also played a good protective role.

Has he hit the target? It seems that because the target he is aiming has already fallen off the horse with a tent of flying flesh and blood.

Zhang Xiaoxi didn't have time to think too much, so he put his guns in the list, and another comrade in the army stepped forward and stood in his position.

The war horses and riders who were killed and injured fell to the ground, causing the Jiannu cavalry to trample and overturn behind. The shooting of three-wheeled heavy muskets left a ground of flesh and blood on the battlefield, stretching for nearly a hundred meters.

The Ming army stopped shooting, and the rising white smoke gradually dissipated. The musketeers were nervously and quickly loading ammunition, while the officers successively posed the banner of preparation in the formation.

As the rhythm of the war drum changed, the officers also saw the changes in the general flag. Tiger! All the spearmen stood up with their guns and let out a low roar.

Tiger, tiger, tiger!

Step by step, the spearmen advanced forward with their guns, and the rhythm of shouting was clear, and they took firm steps towards the front.

Sahalian could see clearly and felt a slump in his heart. If he could not achieve the goal of luring the enemy to fire, he would be disappointed at most. However, he was killed and injured by the enemy's firepower, but he was a sense of frustration that was backfired.

As the infantry formation started, the battalions on the main road also advanced forward at the same time, with a little faster speed, forming a small protrusion.

The so-called chariot camp is not a regular form that the Weapons and Powder Bureau is being manufactured.

To put it bluntly, it is a simple van made of wood and a square box with wheels. This is a bit similar to Jiannu's van, but it is a little longer, capable of mounting light cannons, with a roof and a van, and can also load some ammunition.

But it is a good guy who can be used. Since defeating Amin in Lushunbao, Zhang Pan began to mobilize the people to make it. Many trees have been cut down and many cars have been built. Some cars are made of whole logs, and even the bark is there.

Moreover, this kind of wooden van can not only carry cannons, but also several short guns can be inserted into the movable baffle in front to rush and sprint the enemy, or use it as a horse.

Even though it has many functions, this wooden car does not have much technical content and is simple and easy to manufacture. This feature is precisely why the Dongjiang Army, which is remote overseas, can be equipped with a large amount of equipment.

Another weapon that the Dongjiang Army equipped with a large number of equipment was a grenadier vehicle, which was also very cheap and easy to build, so there was no need to wait for the imperial court to pull it out.

It is these two weapons that can be built by themselves that give the Dongjiang Army the confidence to fight head-on with Jiannu. Relying on its advantages in troops and firearms, Sahalian was a little helpless.

The Ming army was pushing over with a wide front without any haste. Although the terrain was relatively open, it was still not enough space for the Jiannu cavalry to launch flanking assaults.

After quick thinking, Sahalian decided to try again and launch a frontal attack on the array on the easternmost side of the Ming army.

If this small square formation is defeated, the entire Ming army's front line will be destroyed and will stop advancing because of concern that the cavalry will rush into the tide of the gap from then on.

Moreover, after defeating the Ming army formation, he also moved out the space for flanking assault.

Sahalian could see clearly that there were only spearmen in front of the Ming army formation, but there seemed to be no troops or weapons on the side that could stop the cavalry's attack.

The horns kept ringing, and Sahalian issued orders one after another. The three Niulu Jiannu gathered quickly and rushed towards the easternmost battalion of the Ming army.

"The thief slaves fight, the dead soldiers are in front and the sharp soldiers are behind. The dead soldiers wear heavy armor, and they do not retreat even if they die. Later, they receive light armored soldiers. Finally, they become slaves and thieves, with their elite cavalry, and their men and horses are all heavy armored. When my guns and cannons are fired, they will emerge quickly."

"We are especially good at attacking left and right, and do not enter without seeing any profit. They are far or near, more or less, gather or disperse, or appear or disappear. The momentum is extremely strange and difficult to prevent..."

In the written records of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu's tactics have been explained very clearly. But it is explained very thoroughly, but there is no good way to deal with it in history, or there is a way but it is not useful.

The problem lies in the generals and soldiers. According to the morality of the Liaodong army in history and the lack of food and food in the Ming army, no matter how good the tactical style is, it is just a matter of talk.

Five or six hundred dead soldiers wearing heavy armor were in front of him, galloping to about a hundred meters and jumping off the war horse, waving the weapons in his hands, and rushing towards him with crazy shouts.

Behind the dead soldiers were light armored archers riding horses approaching, preparing to take advantage of the dead soldiers to fight and entangle with the enemy, use the rain of arrows to help disrupt the enemy's battle formation.

At the end, there are nearly a thousand elite cavalry, who have not approached too much, nor have they joined the battle group. They are the decisive force, and they will only suddenly come out until the enemy's battle formation is in chaos and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Nearly a thousand cavalry shouted and shouted, galloping in front of other square formations of the Ming army, maintaining a certain distance, playing a role in hindrance.

The sound of war drums sounded, the Ming army's flag changed, and several square formations on the wide front stopped moving forward.

The square formation that was first to fire was directly attacked, and the heavy muskets were the only ones. They began to shoot within a hundred meters of Jiannu's dead soldiers, and led bullets rushed towards the enemy with death.

As the blood rain splashed, Jiannu's dead soldiers kept falling to the ground, but the pace of the impact did not slow down and he continued to charge forward frantically.

Sixty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters... more than a dozen shells flew up from behind the Ming army formation, flew over the battle formation, and smashed towards Jiannu who was rushing up.

Boom, boom, boom..." A series of explosions came one after another, and in the rising fire and smoke, iron pieces flew across the sky, and the dead soldiers suffered casualties in the fireworks.

After rushing out of the explosion, the dead soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty found that the spearmen and sword and shield hands in the front rows of the Ming army were in a strange posture and did not rush forward to fight.

Squat, kneel, stand, the first row of spearmen adopts a kneeling posture, and the second row of spears bent down and squats halfway;

The sword and shield hand had already stepped forward to seal the gap between the queues and was also kneeling. The last row of spearmen used the shoulders of the sword and shield hand as a gun stand, and the sharp spear pointed the sharp spear forward.

This - it should be a posture of resisting the impact of the cavalry?! Jiannu was a little confused, but hesitated without much hesitation and rushed up with swords and guns.

The swan sounded, and the gunshots were roaring, almost at the same time, and the sound was superimposed like a musket roaring.

A row of lead bullets shot towards him, with a distance of 20 or 30 meters, and his lethality was amazing. Under the fire of muskets, Jiannu's dead soldiers fell down a row in an instant.

After a round of volleys, the musketeers took a step to the left, then stepped back and loaded the bullets; the second row of musketeers took forward, raised their guns and aimed. After the swan sounded, they pulled the plate machine and shot out another row of lead bullets.

The Jiannu Dead Soldiers who rushed to the front realized that the Ming army in the front rows slowed down just to flash the fire for the musketeers behind.

The sky-booming thunder fired again and exploded among the dead soldiers rushing up. This kind of blocking was very effective, making the attack of the dead soldiers of Jiannu intermittent, making it difficult to ensure sustainability and the investment of troops.
