Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 64 Smash
Tartar's fighting qualities were shown, he was knocked down several times, but he still did not waver and continued to charge.

"Pikeman, stab left!"

The pikemen exert force on the right side, step forward with their left foot, and stab with a gun in their left hand, intensive collective left stab tactics.

The five-meter long spear pierced out like a forest.

Compared with the traditional frontal stab tactic, the left stab tactic soon showed his characteristics, and the captive cavalry seemed to intend to directly break through the Ming army's infantry formation.

Zhu Yihai, who was watching the battle with a binoculars on a high ground in the rear, was amazed. He didn't know whether to say that the Tartars were full of confidence, or that they believed that the Ming army was weak after the battle yesterday.So I wanted to make a dash to defeat the Ming army.

But should I say it or not, under the leadership of the foreigner Matim, the Shenji Battalion is still very good.

This left stab tactic is very easy to play. Even if you hold a five-meter long spear, if you stab straight from the front, then the charging enemy only needs to face a long spear.

But now he engages in the tactics of stabbing to the left. Although he only stabs to the left, the contact distance between the spear and the enemy has actually become more than three meters. At this time, the second row of spearmen in the dense spear array can actually directly Stab against the enemy.

Originally facing a row of spears, now they have to face two rows of spears, and if they charge closer, a third row of spearmen can also stab them.

From Alexander's Greek Macedonian pike formation, to ancient Roman pike formation, then to Swedish mountain pike formation, and then to Spanish phalanx, the pikemen are also constantly improving. After experiencing the suppression of the rise of cavalry, they finally stepped out of their own way.

Pikemen have low equipment costs and fast training, especially after joining the firearms unit, they can attack and defend. The dense pikemen have become an indestructible wall on the battlefield. Their long spears can restrain the fierce The cavalry charged.

Then the musketeer can rely on the long spear array to output safely and stably.

The spear five meters behind them can make them completely fearless of cavalry.

Once the cavalry can't charge head-on, if they just ride and shoot, it is completely inferior to the salvo of the infantry musketeers.

The Spanish pike formation, compared to the older Macedonian and Roman phalanxes facing the enemy head-on, is more powerful in that it faces the enemy from all sides, with no dead ends in attack and defense. There are many such formations on the battlefield. Putting together the long spear formations, they are basically hedgehogs, and it is impossible to fight them. Cooperating with artillery, cavalry and other light infantry to fight together, it can be said to be very powerful.

Spears are like a forest, collectively stabbing left.

A five-meter long spear stabbed out, like a hedgehog erecting its spines.

The Tartars were still charging forward, and they seemed to believe that as long as they rushed over, these peasants who didn't even have a few armors would immediately collapse and disperse.

They charged and rode and shot.

Large arrows were thrown into the formation, and soldiers fell from time to time in the phalanx, but the dense phalanx can greatly calm people's hearts, and the vacant positions of the fallen soldiers were quickly filled by gathering from left to right.

The four sides are surrounded by the same robes, so that everyone will not collapse directly against the cavalry rushing like a landslide.

Another advantage of the left stab tactic is that the spearman is always under the protection of his comrades.

The high-speed galloping cavalry finally rushed close after more than ten cavalry fell down.

When they saw that the phalanx in front of them collapsed without any evasion, their hearts must have also collapsed. Why did they fail this time when facing the tactics that the Ming army had always worked so well?

Why did the army in front of them, who obviously didn't even have a few pieces of armor, and mainly carried long wooden poles with a simple weapon like a gun, dared to charge directly at their cavalry?
But now there is no time to think about these.

They had to face two choices, whether to continue to rush in, or to turn the horse's head and go around from one side.

The result of a hard charge may be to pay some casualties and then crush the opponent, but it may also be that your own troops hit the gun array and are slaughtered.

Hit or go?

Maybe it's unwillingness, maybe it's enough self-confidence.

Many captives still accelerated and charged forward.

Brutal collision.

Vigorously miracle?
There were also some cavalrymen of the Han Army Banner who were more careful at this time. They turned their horses' heads at the end and rushed to one side.

The sound of bang bang bang fire continued to shoot.

With the enemies in front of them, they don't need to aim much. Anyway, they just discharge their guns. After shooting a shot, they quickly continue to reload and then shoot again.

The pikemen also obeyed the orders of the officers and kept stabbing left and right.

The five-meter-long spear was in their hands. Although it was very heavy, it was their safest protection against the fierce cavalry charging.

The recruits were in a state of frenzy, their eyes were red and they only knew how to stab mechanically, one after another, tirelessly.

People turn their backs!

Dozens of Tartar cavalry ran into it, and then fell down.

Zhu Yihai's blood was boiling with his binoculars, and he wished he could stand there with a spear in his hand and poke him.

For a moment, he was even worried that the spear array would collapse.

But when the bursts of gunpowder smoke rose, he still saw that the Shenji camp held on.

In other words, there is a huge disparity in the number, and there are too few Tatar cavalry.

A mere hundred riders, just want to charge to [-]?

In particular, Matim's two battalions of divine machine soldiers consisted of eight sentinels, which formed eight long spear formations and two mobile teams. The phalanx, in fact, has to face the attack of several phalanxes.

Rushing up is a long spear, and running away is also a firecracker.

A gap was opened in the long spear array, but it was not worn.

The pikemen on both sides gathered in the middle to re-block the gap, and the gunmen even mercilessly shot the cavalry who had lost their impact with their guns.

The tartar's cotton armor can't stop these muskets from shooting at close range.

The sound of impact, screams, and gunfire all rang out.

Some Tartars were thrown off their horses, and they still dismounted fiercely and fought on foot. However, no matter how fierce they were, the Tartar cavalry who lost their impact and even their mounts lost their formation and became lone wolves and were strangled by the phalanx.

A long spear kept coming, and there was a gap between the firing of the firecrackers. They blocked from left to right, and couldn't last three rounds before being pierced by the spears or hit by the firecrackers. The big feet trampled and crushed into the mud.

He was even beheaded by the Sword and Shield Mobile Squad.

At this time, the numerical advantage of the Ming army also appeared again. Amidst the sound of trumpets, the Banner Bearer Battalion and Shizhong Battalion also pressed up, and began to ruthlessly harvest the enemy.

The square formations formed by eight thousand Ming troops were unstoppable on the vast Long Beach battlefield.

Zhu Yihai wanted to go up, but was stopped by Shen Chenquan and others in the end, so he could only take his own family to watch the battle in the rear, and there was a battalion of standard bearers beside him.

He looked at the cruelty on the battlefield, and thought of a line of poetry, one will succeed and all bones will be wiped out.

It feels like there is a meat grinder in front of me.

I also fully experienced the real war. Compared with the raid that ended quickly last time and the previous few raids, this time it was a real head-to-head confrontation.

Although there is a huge disparity in numbers, one side is the elite Qing army, and the other is the Ming army with a large number of superiority.

Although there are many new recruits in the Ming army, after all, there are also many veterans of the regular army of the Ming army and capable Franji mercenaries, especially Zhang Mingzhen and Matim, who are veteran generals. The ones are still very presentable.

It wasn't a random fight, the entire battle was always in rhythm, the Ming army was on the huge battlefield, each part was clear, orderly, there was no disjointedness, no aggressiveness, no collapse.

Although many Ming troops could also be seen falling, none of them were defeated.

But there are also many problems.

There are too many recruits, which affects the combat effectiveness.

A total of 8000 people fought against [-] people, but in the end they fought back and forth, and even the Tartars were the ones who took the initiative to attack. If there were more Tartars, one or two thousand, maybe the situation would be different.

Maybe Zhang Mingzhen's standard battalion can't stop it, and even the magic machine and brave guard on the two wings may collapse.

If the numbers were the same, against the same Tartars, they would probably have been defeated by a single rush.

The gap is quite obvious, but Zhu Yihai is also very satisfied with being able to fight like this. After all, he is a new army, and he will definitely become more and more powerful in the future.

The Tartar cavalry on both wings attacked like mud bulls into the sea, and were smashed into pieces before and after the Shenji and Yongwei battalion formations. Some of the captive cavalry quickly fled back to the main formation.

The Tartar officer seemed to be desperate, and personally led the remaining reserve team, gathered the defeated cavalry from the two wings, gathered about [-] cavalry, and went to the center to support.

But Zhang Mingzhen's two battalions were now strong with four hundred Tatar infantry, and they did not lose the wind. The two wings behind him also took advantage of the victory to support them, and their morale was greatly improved.

Zhang Mingzhen also led his troops to continue advancing without fear of the Tazi's dying counterattack.

At this time, the standard-bearer battalion also came with the artillery team. A door tiger squatting gun, a vehicle-mounted Franco machine gun and other light artillery also beat the dog in the water.

These cannons added a bit of power.

The Tartars' already unable to support the army formation was bombarded by these artillery, and gaps continued to appear.

"Siege on three sides, don't let the Tartars escape, wipe them all out here!"

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Zhu Yihai quickly issued an order, intending to block the way for the Tatars to break through.

At this point in the battle, victory is inevitable, and now he wants to win a complete victory, and no one will let him go.

Shen Chenquan's face was flushed when he saw it. Although it was a battle of eight thousand against seven hundred, he was able to go to the front line of the battlefield and witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. He saw that this new army of Ming Dynasty was able to advance bravely and even crush the Tatars. Son, how can you not be excited.

When will the Ming army not only be able to repel the Tartars with the danger of closing the city, but also win so neatly in such a field battle?

One out of ten, the Guan Ning army and others would definitely win, but they are a new army after all.

When looking at Zhu Yihai again, Shen Chenquan felt the real hope of Daming Zhongxing.

In the past, it was only supported by loyalty and passion, and a little faith in my heart, but now, I really saw the light and hope.

"It's nothing to wipe out a lone army of thousands of Tartars, it's just the beginning!" Zhu Yihai said with a touch of Versailles.

Everyone is convinced.

During the days when the Ming Dynasty collapsed, everyone's expressions had changed, but now Jian Guo was able to command them to wipe out a thousand-man Tartars, which brought great excitement.

on the battlefield.

Facing the Ming army encircled on three sides, the leader of the Tartars led the team to charge a wave to no avail, and decisively issued an order to break out of the encirclement.At this time, it was too late to retreat to the sea and get on a boat, so the Tartars still wanted to use the power of their horses to break out of the encirclement like last time.

They couldn't break through the hedgehog-like long spear formations, but if they wanted to escape, the Ming army would never be able to catch up.

pity.

This time the Ming army did not intend to let them run again.

Before Zhu Yihai's order arrived, Zhang Mingzhen had already made preparations. The battalions were encircled on three sides, and the elite servant Qingqi also quickly gathered for use.

The breakout of the Tartars was quickly stopped by the family cavalry, but it was still difficult to break out when they rushed left and right, and the Ming army infantry everywhere were also constantly beckoning with bows, arrows and firecrackers, and the pikemen were even more chasing.

In the end, the Tartars were driven to the sea and had nowhere to retreat.

Many Tartars were forced to ride into the sea on horseback, but they still couldn't escape the shooting of bows and arrows behind them.

Blood stained the sea.

"Not one left!" Zhang Mingzhen shot down a desperate Tartar with an arrow, and said coldly to the remaining Tartars.

When the last Tartar fell on the battlefield, bursts of cheers erupted from above.

It's a victory,
And it was a war of annihilation.

They won a victory and wiped out more than [-] Tartars. In addition to yesterday, a whole thousand Tartars who crossed the sea were killed by them.

"The Tartars are nothing more than that, with two shoulders and a head!"

"If you cut it down, your head will fall off too!"

"It turns out that Tartars will also cry and cry for mercy!"

"Hahaha, Tartars will escape too!"

·······
Some soldiers shouted long live the prison!
Everyone responded to the mountain call.

The heads of the Tartars were cut off one by one, and the excited Ming army beheaded everywhere with their knives after the victory.

Zhu Yihai came to the battlefield on horseback.

Corpses were everywhere, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air, accompanied by the smell of gunpowder smoke.

There is a scream of pain from the fallen battlefield.

A good war horse was standing in front of its owner, and it was trying to make him stand up with its head, but the tartar was shot several times, with a painful expression on his face, lying there dead. The can no longer die.

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Mingzhen and other generals came up to greet them covered in blood.

Zhu Yihai stepped forward and gave him a big hug, "You fought this battle beautifully, showing off our country's prestige!"

"It's all about His Royal Highness strategizing and commanding well, and the ministers are just rushing to kill according to the order."

"Why did Zhen Dongbo become so polite? It's all thanks to you and other soldiers. Gu Today is just a spectator. He watched such an exciting drama."

"On the battlefield today, all officers and soldiers will be promoted by one rank!"

"Mr. Shen, immediately take someone to check the heads, record the military achievements of the soldiers, and immediately hand out the silver rewards when you turn around."

"Next, quickly clean up the battlefield, search for the fish that slipped through the net, and immediately treat our injured brothers."

"Brothers who unfortunately died in battle must also find their bodies, scrub them clean and send them back to Meishan Village..."

"Shen Wenzhong, you lead people to start cooking, the brothers have worked hard, you can't starve everyone!"

After Zhu Yihai finished speaking, he also rolled up his sleeves and led his servants to help clean up the battlefield. First, he searched for the wounded and rescued the wounded.
