please make me king

Chapter 1345 Zhan Hedong

The red sun rolls down to the west mountain, and the setting sun is as cold as a blood knife.

The rebels lined up facing the east with their backs to the river, while the Houjin soldiers came from east to west.

From the point of view of the rebel army, it is quite frightening to see the flickering swords of the rear golden cavalry.

However, the officials and the people laughed when they saw this: "Jianlu doesn't know about soldiers. Is there any reason in the world to go against the light?"

It turns out that the rebel army turned their backs to the sun in this battle, and then the golden soldiers naturally faced the sun.

Although it is now evening and the sun is not as blazing as it is in the middle of the day, it is still impossible to see it with the naked eye.

Everyone heard the words of the officials and the people, looked carefully, and saw that most of the Houjin cavalrymen squinted their eyes, and it was true what they said, and they couldn't help being shocked.

In fact, when the rebel army saw the squinting of the opposite side, the two sides had already drawn a terrifying distance.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground on the river bank intensively, making a sound like overwhelming mountains and seas, scared the rebel soldiers standing in the front row to fight with their teeth "clacking", their left and right hands were shaking like chaff, and they almost couldn't touch their weapons. I can't hold it.

"Let go!" Guan Fumin couldn't help shouting loudly when he saw the rear golden cavalry entered the range.

"Bang bang bang!" Following his order, a burst of gunshots and cannons resounded through the air.

This official Fumin was born as the deputy general of Ningxia, and the people under his command naturally have strong local characteristics.

Daming Ningxia Town was surrounded by enemies on three sides, the land was close to the barbarians, and the folk customs were aggressive, so many of its soldiers were good at riding and shooting swords and guns, but they lacked guns and other weapons.

Most of the firearms used by the soldiers under the command of the officials and civilians today are wind chasing guns, Francophones, fast guns, three-eyed guns, magic guns, and rockets.

In terms of long-range shooting and armor-piercing, this type of firearm is basically better than nothing.

If we talk about shooting at close range, the intensity of firepower of this kind of firearm is probably not even comparable to the cannons of the rebels who shoot shotgun.

The Art of War says: "Do not invite upright flags, and do not attack majestic formations."

Ancient Chinese tactics developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the regular army was no longer the kind of army that was defeated by a cavalry charge.

Of course, General Jin also knew about this after confronting him, and he had no intention of going up to the rebel formation.

Instead, they are going to let the cavalry harass a few waves first, and then find out the loopholes before making calculations.

It's just that he never expected that the firepower of the rebel army would be so dense. The post-golden cavalry who had been preparing to "shoot in the face with ten steps" were immediately covered in all kinds of firearms under the command of Guan Fumin, and they were killed and injured countless times.

After a round of fighting between the two sides, the battlefield that was originally covered by the cavalry was emptied, and only the corpses of golden horses piled up like a mountain, lying in front of the rebel formation like a huge field ridge.

It turned out that Hou Jinbing came in a hurry and didn't put on his vest in time.

Although the firearm under Guan Fumin's hands was intense, its armor-piercing effect was not very good.

Therefore, the horses of the later Jin Dynasty died more, but the soldiers in armor did not suffer much damage.

However, these Hou Jin soldiers who had lost their horses were being thrown to the ground, struggling to get up from the ground.

The "Killer Squad" of the rebel army rushed out of the army formation, hacked with knives and axes, and killed the elite Houjin who had lost their horses one by one on the spot.

"Zhiniang thief, what a southern barbarian!" Afterwards, the Jin general saw him, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Riding and shooting tactics? It's out of date!" Guan Fumin couldn't help sneering when he saw the distraught General Hou Jin opposite him from a distance.

And the soldiers of Ningxia Town under his command saw that the Houjin soldiers had suffered such a big loss, and they seemed to be no different from the Mongolian soldiers he had been fighting all year round, so they couldn't help but feel settled.

In fact, the officials and the people did not know that it was not the cavalry and archery that made the golden soldiers powerful, but the powerful combat troops composed of heavy cavalry, heavy steps, and horses and bicycles.

However, due to Zhang Shun's thorough preparation and detailed planning, he took the lead in seizing the land of Shanxi and occupied the strategic initiative, which forced Azig's troops to rush forward and enter the rebel army to fight.

The away game is different from the home game. There is neither good logistics support nor heavy equipment such as Hongyi cannons, chariots, and shield vehicles available, so the tactics are quite limited.

Of course, if the Houjin soldiers did not "compete for land" with the rebels, then follow the example of previous battles when entering the customs and just burn, kill and loot all the way, maybe the rebels really have nothing to do with them for a while.

However, the bad thing lies in the "competition for land".

There are many people in the pass, and the products are abundant;
There are few people outside the pass and the land is poor, and the products are poor.

If the soldiers of the Hou Jin this time were to plunder like they had entered the pass before, once the rebel army occupied most of the country and reorganized the country, I am afraid that the next war will not be "the Qing army enters the pass", but "the rebel army's Northern Expedition" up.

Therefore, at this moment, the Houjin soldiers had to fight, dare not not fight, and even fought against the rebels at an extremely disadvantaged situation.

How did the officials and the people know the changes in the situation where the subject and the object are transposed?
He only knew that he had to be good when he got a bargain, so he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Happy, happy! Come again, come again!"

The Ningxia soldiers under his command immediately became more morale when they heard this, and shouted loudly: "Happy, happy! Come again, come again!"

Hearing the yelling of the rebel army, General Hou Jin's face darkened immediately, and he felt a bad premonition in his heart.

The courage of the husband and the war also, with one bang, then declines, and exhausts three times!

An opponent with high morale is the most difficult opponent in the world.

Facing such an opponent, how can General Jin be happy then?

"Master, since we can't break through from the front, why don't we pinch the 'Shun thief' from the side?" Just when General Hou Jin was at his wit's end, Bao Yi beside him couldn't help suggesting.

"Oh?" General Hou Jin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but stare at the two sides of the Guan Fu Min Army formation.

The "Back to the water but the moon formation" listed by the official Fumin is actually a half-moon formation with its back against the bank of the Fen River.

Just now, the golden cavalry attacked the front of the rebel formation, it was the back of the half moon.

Here not only the left and right firepower can help each other, but also the dazzling sunlight, which seriously affects the charge of the rear golden cavalry.

On both sides are the two corners of the half moon. Compared with the front of the back of the moon, it not only reduces the firepower by half, but also avoids the disadvantage of dazzling sunlight. It is indeed a better choice.

"Okay, pay attention to avoid the muddy land on the river bank!" General Jin hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and finally nodded.

Following the order of the Houjin general, the Houjin cavalry immediately split into two, and lined up on both sides of the rebel army.

"Okay, here we come!" The official Fumin had seen the movement of the Houjin cavalry, and he couldn't help but secretly said, "Let the 'Navy Division' get ready, this time we can move!"

It turned out that behind the rebel army's "Back to the Water but the Moon Formation", an unknown number of ships had already been hidden.

These ships not only carried boatmen and soldiers, but also a large number of small artillery such as bird guns, franji, second generals, and tiger squatting guns.

The key to the Queyue Formation inherited from Emperor Wudi Liu Jinu of the Song Dynasty is not only the front half of the formation, but also the ships behind the formation.

Without these ships, the so-called Queyue formation could only be regarded as Han Xin's "backwater formation".

But once there are these ships, the changes will be completely different, and it will become the famous "Queyue Formation".

After that, General Jin was not Zhu Xieyuan. How did he know how powerful the rebels were?

General Houjin gave an order, and the Houjin cavalry rushed towards the two corners of the half-moon formation of the rebel army, one left and one right, like two flood dragons.

However, just as these cavalrymen slammed into the two corners of the rebel formation and could not be separated for a while, they saw rows of boats appearing on the river on one side.

These boats are not big, but they are already full of neat soldiers.

And these soldiers were all holding bird guns or cannons, aiming at themselves with the muzzle of the black gun.

"Damn it, let's go, let's go!" The Golden Cavalry who had just rushed into the battle and survived was terrified, and he couldn't help but hit his horse and leave.

It's just that the cavalry and infantry on both sides are entangled now, how can they get away?
"Bang bang bang!" Before the rear golden cavalry could leave, the guns on the boats rang out in time.

The bullets are like the gods of death in hell, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the gold soldiers in front of and behind them.
