Chapter 329 Cavalry Attack

When Deng Qi saw that Tang Jiuzhou really couldn't stand it anymore, he couldn't help but secretly scolded Tang Jiuzhou for being incompetent, and he almost couldn't stop the thieves from charging.

But Deng Qi had no choice but to send the guerrilla general Yue Zhongzhong forward, leading [-] cavalry to cover the left side of the formation.

When Liu Cheng saw that the officers and soldiers had sent cavalry, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he abandoned Tang Jiuzhou's Changping Army and began to entangle with the guerrilla general Yue Yue.

This guerrilla general was more loyal to the former fan and missed the opportunity to fight, and was punished, so he didn't dare to neglect at this time.He had no choice but to put up all his energy to deal with Liu Cheng, and the two sides were tied for a while.

Zhang Shun had already seen the situation of the officers and soldiers in the left formation from a distance, and knew that Liu Cheng's attack had been blocked.However, he is not depressed.After all, these more than ten thousand officers and soldiers are also of a useful generation, how can there be any reason for them to go all out and win a battle?
Although Zhang Shun didn't know that "King Zuo Jin" and Liu Cheng had a certain degree of slack, it didn't prevent him from thinking that these two would be able to defeat the same number of officers and soldiers.

Since it was as expected, Zhang Shun ordered the artillery to be dispatched.Wukong raised the big flag in his hand high, and waved the flag fiercely a few times in accordance with the military order.

Seeing the order, Li Shi'an quickly ordered the soldiers under his command to push the horses to mobilize the artillery in their hands and move to a high ground on the left side of the formation of officers and soldiers.

It turned out that Zhang Shun came up with an idea in front of the station: on the battlefield, due to the characteristics of various arms, it can be roughly simplified as "cavalry defeats artillery, artillery defeats infantry".

Because the cannon is heavy and difficult to move quickly, once the ammunition is fired, it is very afraid of enemy cavalry raids.The enemy's infantry, because of their slow movement, and in order to guard against the cavalry, lined up in a dense formation, which is where the artillery can exert its power.

Zhang Shun and Deng Qi had fought many times, and they had basically figured out that there were only a thousand cavalry in the hands of the officers and soldiers. Now that Deng Qi had released a thousand cavalry, the rest were nothing to fear.

So Zhang Shun took the opportunity to order Li Shi'an to lead the artillery to seek a breakthrough from the other side of the formation.

Because Zhang Shun gathered all the large-caliber cannons in the rebel army, Li Shi'an had almost twenty cannons in his hands.

Except for Zhang Shun's own six cannons, the rest are the General Cannon, the Second General's Cannon, the Attacking Cannon, the Francine Machine and a Qianjin Hongyi Cannon.

Li Shi'an didn't care too much, but ordered the artillery in his hand to be divided into three parts, and after the deployment, he took turns to bombard the officers and soldiers on the right side with live ammunition.

It was the stone pillar chieftain soldiers led by Ma Fengyi who were attacked by the artillery. These chieftain soldiers held white poles and were called elites.

They held white hook guns and formed a conical formation.One of the flags has twenty-five people, arranged in a small cone formation with one, three, five, seven, and nine people.One division has twenty-four banners, except for the director, and the one, three, five, seven, and nine flag teams are arranged in a large cone formation.

This time Ma Fengyi brought two thousand chieftain soldiers, and there happened to be three division soldiers and horses, arranged in a conical formation.From this formation alone, we can know the bravery of the chieftain soldiers.

The conical formation is originally a very ancient formation, also known as the male formation. The conical formation is recorded in "Sun Bin's Art of War" during the Warring States Period, and it is a formation with a strong impact.

The chieftain soldiers use this formation as a common formation, so they know that their soldiers use charging as a common method.

At the beginning, the "white pole soldiers" became famous in the bloody battle of Hunhe. With only [-] infantry, they resisted the Eight Banners three times, killed and wounded two or three thousand Eight Banners soldiers and captured one general and two guerrilla generals alive. Famous all over the world.

Although Ma Fengyi's chieftain soldiers were not as elite as the original three thousand white-armed soldiers, after all they came from the same school, and the difference was not too far apart.

Originally, Deng Qi wanted to take the opportunity to surprise the rebel army, but he didn't expect that the two thousand white soldiers did not fight against the "eight kings" on the opposite side, but had a taste of the cannon in Li Shi'an's hands first.

The booming cannon sounded like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.After hearing the sound of the cannon, Li Shi'an blasted out Ma Fengyi's conical formation two or three times.

Although the actual casualties were not large, the broken limbs blasted by the artillery and the wailing and crying of the disabled really hurt the morale of the people.

Ma Fengyi was also decisive, and quickly ordered to disperse the formation to prevent the rebel artillery from causing more casualties.

Before the chieftain soldiers had time to carry out Ma Fengyi's order, the second round of shelling came again.Six or seven round iron eggs flew over again, seemingly not very fast, and not very threatening.But once it hits the ground, it will kill you if you touch it, and you will be injured if you rub it.

A broken arm, a missing leg, a rotten stomach, and a rotten intestine are all easy things to do.

Although a few shells missed, four or five shells still fell into the formation after all.Beat the person who was shot to pieces on the spot, then penetrated the second and third person, and did not stop until five or six people were killed.

Seeing this, the faces of all the chieftain soldiers suddenly changed: The deeds of the bloody battle in Hunhe are famous all over the world, and the "white soldiers" who are one of the parties involved are naturally even more familiar.

Although it is not known whether it is true or not, it is said that the white-armed soldiers won three battles and three victories, and the elite of the Eight Banners could not resist.They had no choice but to buy Liaodong gunners with a lot of money, and bombarded the formation with red barbarian cannons, only to be able to wipe out the white soldiers.Could it be that the tragedy of course is about to repeat itself again?

Ma Fengyi also had a bad face, she quickly sent envoys to visit Deng Qi, and asked the whole army to attack, and she couldn't sit still and wait for death.

Deng Qi's face became even more ugly when he heard the words. As the general of the Chinese army, he has already stated that the battle is mainly defensive, as long as it is late and the basic construction of the camp behind him is completed, it will be a victory.

As a result, the two sides hadn't formed a battle yet, Tang Jiuzhou and Ma Fengyi, each of them turned against the guest and directed him instead.What's even more hateful is that their proposals have their own reasons, but they all deviate from the original strategy of focusing on defense.

If their wishes were fulfilled one by one, then the strategy of focusing on defense this time and taking the opportunity to set up a camp would be ruined. Instead, it catered to the rebels' desire to prepare for a decisive battle.

If they refute their proposal, the situation on both sides is not very good now. Once the rebel army breaks through, they will be defeated like a mountain, and any plans and strategies will be like a dream in the mirror.

Deng Qi was in a dilemma and had no choice.He had no choice but to grit his teeth and ordered to gather some of the personal guards of the other generals and more than [-] cavalry who acted as scouts, and gathered [-] cavalry to raid Li Shi'an's artillery position.

Zuo Liangyu was in the middle of the formation, and didn't feel the pressure from his colleagues Tang Jiuzhou and Ma Fengyi. After hearing Deng Qi's order, he was quite dissatisfied.

Among the generals of the frontier army, the most elite ones are the personal guards around them, also known as servants.These people all pay double rates, or even three rates, or four rates.

As the saying goes, "raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while", the reason why the chief generals who often eat empty pay are so generous is that they rely on them to defend their own lives and make meritorious deeds.Now being transferred away by Deng Qi has actually weakened their strength.

However, fortunately, they also knew that there was a reason for the incident, so they reluctantly agreed to Deng Qi's request, gathered enough four hundred fine cavalry, and prepared to completely wipe out Li Shi'an's artillery.
