Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 481 Wrong Arrangement

The Qing army led the charge with more than 100 powerful white-armored soldiers. In order to defeat the right wing of the Ming army, Jierhalang also spent his life and sent most of the few white-armored soldiers on the two blue flags. For the Qing army , this is already enough to give Xuan Da's frontier army face,

Because in countless battles in the past, the Qing army only needed to send a few or more than a dozen white armored soldiers to cut through the formation of the Ming army on the opposite side. This kind of behavior of a large group of white armored soldiers going out together rarely occurred.

At this time, the more than a thousand sword and shield fighters in the front row of the Ming army had no choice but to stand up and fight, but they only held light shields against bows and arrows and knives and spears. How can it stand up to the heavy weapons of the Qing army?What's more, the long knives in their hands couldn't cut through the three layers of heavy armor of the Qing army. In just a moment, most of the swordsmen and shields who were within the range of the Qing army's forward charge were killed or injured, while the Qing army only had a hundred or so The casualties of the armored soldiers were in their hands, and Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's mistakes in the formation of the battle finally led to a big mistake.

And just when the forwards of the Qing army were about to approach the Xuanda frontier army and the archers were preparing to move forward, Sun Chuanting, who was personally supervising the formation on the far right, had already seen the flaws in the Xuanda frontier army's formation, and he immediately ordered The generals gathered after blowing the trumpet, and after a while, He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, Wang Pu, Ai Wannian, Liu Zeqing, Ma Xianglin, Zhang Kui, the deputy commander of the Yongwei Battalion, and other generals drove away from the formation one after another. To Sun Chuanting's banner,
Sun Chuanting was very relieved about the combat effectiveness of the Yongwei Battalion in the middle and the Qin army on the left wing, but out of his long-standing mistrust, he decided to go to the right wing to command and supervise the battle in person, in case these miscellaneous troops broke the big event.

"He Renlong, Wang Pu, Ai Wannian, Zuo Liangyu, and Liu Zeqing stepped forward to listen to the order!"

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Sun Chuanting stepped down from the downstairs car and called names loudly.

"I am humble!"

The generals who were named took a step forward and bowed their hands in salute.

"After you have assembled your soldiers and horses, go forward, and be sure to block the remaining troops on the enemy's left flank! If there are those who are afraid of the enemy and flee before the battle, the rest of them can kill them!"

Sun Chuanting glanced at the generals sharply and then issued the military order.

"Humble post accepts orders!"

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, whoever wants to leave the battle, I, Lao He, will be the first to kill him!"

Everyone bowed their heads to give orders, but He Renlong patted his chest carelessly and let out bold words.

Sun Chuanting waved his hand solemnly. After He Renlong saluted again, he turned around and rode away. He then ordered again: "Zhang Kui!"

"I am humble!"

Zhang Kui, who was about [-] years old, stepped forward to salute and listen to the order.

"You ordered two thousand gunners to be in the center, one thousand spearmen to the left and right, five hundred shieldmen to cover the gunners, fifty grenadiers and ten tiger cannons to accompany you to attack the enemy's flanks! The rest of the department will play by ear later!"

"Humble post accepts orders!"

After seeing Zhang Kui saluting, Ma Xianglin walked away quickly. Seeing that Sun Chuanting did not order the white soldiers to go out, Ma Xianglin hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but stepped forward to salute: "Commander, what should I do with that humble job? The morale of the white soldiers Zhengsheng is ready to charge!"

Sun Chuanting looked at the one-eyed brave general with admiration and said with a smile: "The white-armed soldiers have made enough contributions, this time it's time for the other troops to see the big battle! You should take the lead in the rear Respond, wait for the opportunity to fight, I will send you out!"

Just when He Renlong and others led their troops forward to meet the left wing of the Qing army, Xuan Dabing's sword and shield could no longer hold up.

The 500 sword and shield players were first transferred to 500 people to protect the archers. The remaining [-] people had hundreds of casualties when covering the bows and arrows of the Qing army. Now they were violently attacked by the heavy armored infantry of the Qing army. More than half of these thousand people were killed or injured.

Because behind the sword and shield soldiers is the phalanx of their own gunmen, they have no way to retreat, and it is even more impossible to run towards the two wings. It is not that no one does that, but facing the wolf-like Qing army, you As long as you want to escape from one side, you will immediately die under the blow of the opponent's heavy weapon. Instead of doing this, it is better to fight.

The remaining [-] sword and shield fighters saw their bragging and farting comrades fall in a pool of blood one by one, and the blood in their bones burst out immediately.

They yelled and cursed like crazy, seeing that their long knives could not cut through the opponent's heavy armor, regardless of the mace approaching and the long-handled giant ax on their bodies, they desperately used long knives to stab the Qing army's face and no eyes. The calves and ankles covered by the iron mesh skirt, until he was smashed into meat paste.

The desperate fighting style of the Ming army finally caused the proud white armored soldiers to suffer. In an instant, dozens of white armored soldiers either died from being stabbed with long knives or were cut by sharp steel knives. Falling to the ground screaming after lowering his limbs, the rapid offensive of the Qing army was temporarily contained, and it also left precious time for the Ming army spearmen in the rear to adjust.

Soldiers who were injured under several rounds of arrow rain from the Qing army took advantage of this short gap to grit their teeth and drag the bodies of their fallen comrades back to the rear. The dented and incomplete phalanx was restored to its original state.

"Protect!"

At the same time when the Qing army's vanguard wiped out all the Ming saber and shield fighters, the first row of [-] spearmen who emerged shouted in unison with a short horn sound, and stood up neatly and stabbed ten feet long. Yu's long spears, under such a dense forest of spears, finally it was the Qing army's turn to scream incessantly.

Although he was wearing three layers of heavy armor, he was still as paperless in front of the bright and sharp steel gun head.

The new three-edged armor-piercing cone made by the military inspector ignores the heavy armor of the Qing army. As long as the spear head is pierced on the upper half of the body of the Qing army, it will penetrate layers of armor and penetrate deep into the body without exception. Except for the white-armored soldiers poking open with their blades, the Qing soldiers who were shot all screamed and fell to the ground. As the spearmen retracted their spears, blood flowed out from under the armor of the shot gunners, seeping into the blood in a blink of an eye. The dry ground was wiped out, leaving only large black and red marks on the surface.

Before the Ming army retracted their spears and thrust out again, the experienced white-armored soldiers either sprinted forward with force under their feet, or swung their blades and strode forward, shortening the distance between the two sides in an instant. to an almost face-to-face position.

At this moment, the spears of the Ming army in the second row pierced obliquely downward from the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row.

However, this kind of stabbing method is not as powerful as full-body stabbing from the front. It is okay against light armored enemies, but it is difficult to be effective against heavy armored enemies. Most of the spear heads can only break through one or two layers of armor. They were already unable to advance further, and only a few spearmen with strong physical strength broke through the three-layer armor and pierced into the body of the Qing army.

Once the spearmen were approached by the enemy, the spears in their hands would be powerless, and all the sword and shield guards who were responsible for covering them were killed. The spearmen in the front row could only watch helplessly as the Qing army swung all kinds of heavy weapons towards When he smashed it by himself, a series of bone shattering sounds and miserable howls sounded one after another, and the white armor soldiers broke the first layer of long spear array in a very short time.
