Chapter 391 is over, maybe
Chapter 391: The fight is over. Maybe
For the army of this era, if it is broken up, it is broken up. If you want to gather, you can only go to a safe area dozens of miles away. If you are contained on the battlefield, it may be even more likely that you will be dispersed by these defeated soldiers and the teams you can still control, which will be even greater harm.
As a result of the Man Eight Banners, when the Dafang team broke into the formation of the Dengzhou Army in Jiaozhou, they ignored the scattered soldiers at all. The same was true for the Mongolian cavalry that were covered on both sides. They could kill them if they could. Their mission was to ensure the forward rush of the Jurchen cavalry team. As for those that were not reaching, they ignored them at all. The defeated soldiers scattered on the battlefield had no combat power at all.
However, Jiaozhou Camp is Jiaozhou Camp, and it is not the army of this era. The chaos of the scattered escaped soldiers is not because of fear and panic, but because they want to find how to continue fighting.
Even if Wang Tao did not stand up, there would still be Li Tao and Liu Tao, the officers, non-commissioned officers, ordinary soldiers, and even the civilians of Shandong. When they fought, they would not think that I was fighting for the Zhu family and the emperor alone.
They all joined the battle with great sacrifice, not for others, but for themselves, to defend the hard-won happy life, and for this rare opportunity to make a name for themselves, such a spirit and will are naturally full of fighting spirit and will, and it is difficult to be defeated to collapse.
When the spear square array is arranged, someone on the right wing is used as the benchmark point. This person is usually the Qianmao of the battalion. Behind him is the flag-holder of the battalion. The first row is aligned with the Qianmao, and the team behind him is lined up in the first row and arranged in the square array.
According to the provisions of the Cao Dian, the entire army was killed or seriously injured in the battle of the General Secretary of the Battalion. The General Secretary of the General Secretary of the General Secretary obtained command in order.
But under such circumstances, the left wing of the Dengzhou army formation was already in chaos, and the soldiers from various battalions were mixed together. The officials could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officials, which completely lost effective command.
The general Wang Tao was out of the line and asked everyone to arrange the array with him as the benchmark. They were panicked and ran around like flies everywhere. They suddenly found the direction to gather. They ran towards this side, how to line up and align and how to become the formation of the square formation. This has become the instinct of the soldiers in daily training. Now all they need is one person and a hero.
Wang Tao stood up and quickly gathered towards him. Although there were many scattered soldiers, everyone was arranged in an extremely orderly manner, with Wang Tao as the base point on the right to the left. Although Wang Tao is just a general, according to Cao Dian, he is the commander of Qian Zongshe who temporarily gathered together.
After the four cavalry teams broke through the six battalions, the joining of the defeated soldiers and the Mongolian cavalry behind gradually increased the space. In other words, those battalions that had not yet collapsed could be barely organized to defend. Moreover, the Tartars' war horses ran side by side for so long, and the formation was a bit scattered, and there were gaps in injuries and deaths. If you want to attack the prepared infantry front, you must complete the team a little.
The local generals of the Man Eight Banners did not expect that the Ming army would gather another square formation. The square formation that Wang Tao gathered gathered quickly. When the people from the back team discovered that the 800-man square formation had already gathered again, it was really shocking.
The spear squad suddenly gathered again behind and on the flanks of their own land. Of course, the generals of the Eight Banners knew what this meant. A Jurchen cavalry brigade on the back called the doctor and began to turn on the battlefield, ready to re-destroy the gathered Ming army infantry team.
At the same time, the Jurchen horse team and Mongolian cavalry who came from the outside also discovered this formation and rushed over one after another. They attacked each other on both sides, and wanted to completely break up!
Although the six battalions had nearly 5,000 troops, although there were a large number of soldiers left, there were still many soldiers gathering here frantically. At this time, the size of this platoon was no longer 800. In panic, seeing such a platoon, the scattered soldiers all leaned over one after another.
As a result, when the Tatar cavalry began to turn their attention to this side, the square formation based on Wang Tao had already become a large square formation forty by fifty. This scale was too large. Most of the scattered soldiers in the other areas had abandoned their weapons and were rejected by this square formation. They could only pick up weapons on the ground and fight around the square formation.
Wang Tao's breathing was very heavy. He was promoted step by step to the general manager because of his excellent training. Although the total is one level away from the general manager, he is completely different from the command level. For Wang Tao, the team in front of him is no longer even the size of the battalion in Jiaozhou.
There is a large square formation of two thousand people, and many people are swimming around the square formation with broken spears, muskets, swords and other things. Such a square formation is about 3,000 people. I really don’t know how to organize and mobilize it, but it is no longer the time to consider this issue.
One of the Tartar Cavalry Brigades that had already rushed inside had made a difficult turn and turned around, while a platoon and many Mongolian light cavalry were starting to move in this direction.
The huge square array that had just formed was attacked by several directions. Faced with this situation, Wang Tao knew what to do. He cheered up and shouted loudly:
"Listen to my orders, flatten the spear, and resist the horse!!"
The soldiers gathered in the square formation were not as terrified as they ran around. They all shouted in unison and agreed, and in accordance with the requirements of Cao Dian to fight against the impact of the cavalry, they turned the spear to the outside. The entire square formation instantly turned into an extremely huge steel hedgehog.
Because of the expansion of the square formation, the scattered soldiers who did not enter the square formation can also cruise relatively calmly and can hide and run around the square formation.
When the cavalry was about to rush over, only a dozen muskets were fired, which did not play any hindrance to the cavalry. However, in such a chaotic situation, the Mongolian light cavalry and the Jurchen cavalry could not let go of the archery, and could only rely on the cavalry's charge.
Besides, under such a large formation, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army would not allow the Tartars to shoot arrows at thirty or forty steps. The spearmen had experience and were ready to rush out to assassinate at any time.
It hit such a huge infantry phalanx, and it was a prepared array of sorrows. The cavalry could not hit the enemy at all. The Mongolian light cavalry rode in front of them and wanted to dismount and shoot, but was rushed out by the scattered soldiers who were wandering outside the phalanx to fight and fight, and had no time to shoot arrows.
The two Jurchen cavalry teams came forward and behind, and the horses had been galloping for only half a day. The speed and momentum had weakened. The kind of rushing force just now was equivalent to driving the defeated soldiers to rush to the formation, and then applying pressure to make the opponent's team collapse, but now it is blocked and it is necessary to hit a large rushing formation that is no less than its own.
This large array looks so solid, and every soldier on the horse is in a dilemma. They are familiar with the temper of horses. They rushed over like this and faced the other party's formation that placed the spear on several sides, which seemed to be a hedgehog. It is unlikely that the horse would rush in. It is possible that the horse would turn wild when frightened.
One horse and two horses were panicked and confused. In such a strict local formation, it could be clamped by the companions on the side and could not turn and move. However, if it hits such a formation, more than 50% of the horses would be confused, and the entire cavalry team would probably disperse.
Most of the defeated soldiers gathered in the platoons based on Wang Tao. The chaotic interior just now became relatively empty. Whether it was Wang Tao's platoon or the original platoon, they could completely perform tactical movements, no longer crowded and unable to put down their spears, and were forced to be hit by cavalry.
The leader of the Jurchen cavalry team turned around was Hulihai, the white flag-inlaid white flag, and the leader Delenha was next to him. Their team, because of the last failure, belonged to the group that was very unpopular among the two nobles of the white flag. This time they did not have to lead the way, but they were still sent to the cavalry.
The frontal battlefield where Abatai and the Ming army commander were fighting were earth-shaking, and they were going back and forth. These two Tartar generals who had experienced the death battle were both frightened and sent to the left wing. With confidence, they gradually returned. The other party's array was the same as other Ming army. After being harassed by light cavalry and heavy cavalry, they could not stand up and collapsed.
Moreover, after the continuous impact of the entire team, the collapsed terrain began to spread. Victory Eye was right in front of us. During this period, these two people even felt that they were dreaming or confused when they encountered a strong enemy in Qihe County.
Just when they were full of ambition and ready to win, they had already regarded the defeated soldiers as having no combat effectiveness and formed a square formation behind them.
Hu Lihai, who had a white flag, felt his chest tightening, and the uncomfortable feeling came again. The Ming army he met this time was very different from the Ming army he met in the past. These Ming army never seemed to do things according to the battlefield rules they knew.
You cannot judge whether you have won or lost, and you cannot judge whether your blow has achieved the predetermined effect.
"Breaking down him and breaking down this phalanx, we will completely win this battle..."
Someone shouted at the top of the cavalry team, but Beizi Hulihai was silent. He was the leader of this team, but the one who could really command was a leader of the white flag. It was the personal soldiers of the Wayala who released him as an official. It was said that the superiors were worried about him, so they arranged for the personal soldiers to come down.
Prince Rui's personal guard, his status was really amazing. As a result, these flag servants under Beizi Hulihai obeyed this man and ignored his orders.
This personal guard has a high status, but he is too young and very impetuous. When he comes to Ming Dynasty, he shouts every day that he wants to make achievements and earn himself a reputation of bravery and fighting.
At this moment, Hu Lihai and some old men were worried when they saw the formation of the Ming army in front of them, but the genital leader was not afraid at all. Instead, he ordered the formation to be destroyed, completely cleared the obstacles, and then went all out to attack most of the Ming army behind him.
Although Beizi Hulihai could not see the cavalry team there, he knew in his heart that the other party must have slowed down, but he could not stop here.
Everyone in this team was agitated by the leader and moved in this direction. Hu Lihai had no idea of making achievements. He was in the first row, watching the layers of spears extending out on the opposite side and hitting them on a horse. Don’t think about making achievements, but death is almost the same.
But in the square formation, they were held hostage by people from the front, back and left and right, and they couldn't move. Even if they were deserters, they would not be chopped up, and the whole family would probably be used as cattle and horses for people to be used as livestock.
Delenha, who was with him back then, was next to Hulihai, and was in the first row. Although both sides were in the hooded and pointed leather helmets, just looking at the eyes, he seemed to know what Hulihai was thinking. He controlled the horses and looked at the Ming army infantry formation that was constantly approaching in front of him, and said with a mute:
"Master Beizi, don't you understand that we were placed in the first row? After that, the masters and masters looked down on us for a long time. It would be a blessing to rush forward if they can't die. If they die, they will not embarrass the family!"
Beizi Hulihai immediately stiffened a little. Then he laughed:
"This is the reason, we won't lose money. We have been happy for a few years. Ming Dynasty has such soldiers. So what kind of wealth can you live? Let's just wait!!"
The situation at this time was clearly in sight of victory, and the situation was very good. The formation was obviously just a desperate counterattack, but the resentful words of these two people might have shown something.
"Here, come, Lazi, Lazi. Go!!"
Seeing the cavalry front facing him like a wall and a mountain, the soldiers on the outer edge of the large formation organized by Wang Tao shouted loudly in order to give him a sense of vigor. The spear in his hands remained motionless and pointed to the cavalry formation that was about to collide. Every soldier was unwilling to be defeated anymore. The soldiers of the Dengzhou Army found that if they left the group, they would be so frightened and had no idea how to fight. They were so powerless in the face of the Tartar cavalry.
But standing in this formation, the courage that disappeared without a trace returned to himself, with his own comrades relying on him, and his mind was stable and he only wanted to fight.
Beizi Hulihai, when he approached this formation, the ground spurs on his horse's boots had already pierced into the horse's belly. However, facing the cold spear tips on the opposite side and the soldiers shouted heart-wrenchingly. The horse also wanted to stop the speed, but was still pushed by the line behind him and crashed into the front.
Looking at the spears that were stabbed, to be precise, he ran into it on his own initiative. The length of the spear in his hand was not enough, and no matter how he stretched his arms, he could not stab the other party. At this moment, time seemed to pass very slowly. Swords could slash and slashing with swords could offset the great force of the foam nails, but it could not resist the main assassination.
What's more, at this time, the power of many people directly sent the first row of cavalry into the steel jungle. Hulihai could feel the spear tip piercing the thick cloth, piercing the subway leaves and linings, and stabbing into the body. The blood and power all over the body seemed to be frozen there and could no longer move.
Almost all the cavalry in the first row were assassinated by the spears of the square formation on the spot, and the large square formation that Wang Tao temporarily pulled up was only concave, but was not defeated or penetrated.
The first wave of the cavalry team failed. The life-taking spears were still standing there climaxically. The second row would not be foolishly hit. The bodies of the Eight Banners cavalry in the front row were hung on the spears, and they would not die for a while. Twitching on them was even more terrifying.
But it was extremely difficult to turn in the second row because they had companions who were very close to each other, and they squeezed them into the spear. The effect of moving the large array of about two thousand people was unknown, but they were stable and solid, and the opponent's advancement could not be entered at all.
The cavalry in the second row also rushed into the steel jungle, and was pushed and pricked...
The temporary square formation was still not messy, and it stubbornly resisted the impact, and the formation was still there. No matter how brave the soldiers were, they would not rush hard without knowing that they would die and that they would not have any result. These Eight Banners cavalry would certainly not silly attack the spear array when the strongest first and second rows were ineffective in rushing.
The buffer in front was enough to allow the cavalry behind to stop the horses from reacting. The only trouble was that the cavalry team was in chaos. The horses coming from the outside saw such a huge square formation, and they had no intention of rushing, and they flashed around in circles.
After resisting this wave of attack, the left wing finally stabilized. On the edge of the square formation where Wang Tao gathered together, there were two spontaneously formed small phalanx teams. A small formation vaguely formed, echoing the large phalanx over there.
At this time, the cavalry of the Jurchen cavalry inside were all attacked from both sides, and there were stable square formations in front and behind, so it was extremely dangerous for them to leave the country.
Although Wang Tao's large square formation was far apart, it still seemed a little narrow for the large number of cavalry. In order to maintain the formation, the Tartars' horse team could not be fast, and they could not rush up in such a small space. If you want to go out, you can only disperse the square formation.
But how can the scattered cavalry that has dispersed its formation face the forest-like spear of the infantry phalanx? The cavalry phalanx sandwiched in it shattered like porcelain on the ground. The momentum of victory and defeat suddenly began to reverse. The cavalry's vitality can only run out of this gap and then line up again.
The infantry phalanx could not pursue the phalanx, and the musketeers lost too much. They could only watch the cavalry rushing out from here, but there were too many Mongolian and Jurchen cavalry in the inner circle. When many people rushed through the edge of the phalanx, they were still stabbed by spears because they were too crowded and narrow, and were caught by the axe and gun, and were trampled into meat paste by their companions behind them.
"Try it out!" "Separate between camps." "Turn out!!"
Countless commands are passed between each battalion, keeping a distance between each other to leave a certain length of gap. This is more flexible and space, and there is more room for cavalry impact, rather than just being so tightly attached to each other for fear of being dispersed by the opponent's cavalry.
At this time, the direction where Zhao Neng is located was completely restrained by the direction where Abatai was, and even orders could not be issued. The commanders of each battalion could only do their own thing in such a situation. Zhao Neng's on-site command ability was already vaguely suspected.
Just now, the Tartars' main attack direction was on the left wing, and the rest of the places except for the front were only confrontation or stalemate, but the Jurchen cavalry arranged to line up to rush forward were only the left wing and the front. The square formations in the left, right and back directions slowly pushed out towards the outside.
The Mongolian cavalry, which had always been around the Dengzhou military formation, could not resist, and could only follow this expansion and expand outward, and the team and formation became thinner. Many places had always surrounded the formation, or even disconnected.
One has increased and the other has declined, and the Dengzhou army finally took a little initiative on the battlefield...
Just now, the old god was ordered by the local government to be completely gloomy. The face of the General Abatai was completely gloomy. The Korqin Beiletulichen on the side was even more nervous. Several Zuomen who came back from the left wing reported the situation in a mess. No one would have thought that the collapse momentum was stopped like this.
"General, this..."
Aba Taihei didn't answer with his face. He just suddenly whipped a soldier beside him with a horse whip and said with a hatred:
"Go and ask if it's better, no more, cut off the head of the leader, change to his deputy, go quickly!"
The personal soldiers naturally knew that the general was in a bad mood, so they hurriedly rushed to the horse. The general Abatai turned around and said coldly to Tulichensen:
"Master Beile, if this soldier did not defeat him today and make him come back to his excitement, this would be the disaster for our Qing Dynasty..."
Listening to Abatai's words so severely, Tulichen was also stumbled and did not dare to say much. The personal soldiers sent just now had already come back on horseback. When he arrived, he hurriedly reported:
"The General, you are all ready!!"
The general's face suddenly improved. He sneered a few times at the horse, raised the whip in his hand and shook it a few times. The drum sounded rumbling. The Mongolian horse team led by Daluhua, who was facing the front, seemed to be stabbed by something, and immediately rushed forward.
The Jurchen horse team and infantry on Abatai were retreating, and Tulichen, who was unable to touch his mind, was also following behind, thinking that this was the retreat, but didn't you just say you wanted to continue fighting?
Chapter completed!
