Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 19 The Last Courage
Fan Zhuoyuan still stood on the front with no expression on his face, and waved the flag again.

The six bronze cannons were brought to the front by pack horses, and then they began to load and fire!
Boom boom boom...!
The sky thundered!Six rounds of solid ammunition jumped into the 6-strong formation of the Japanese army with an extremely low curve!
Where the solid bullet plows, there is a row of blood alleys!

The broken limbs and pieces of meat all over the place, mixed with various internal organs, coupled with the extremely shrill wails, made one feel as if they were in an endless hell.

The entire Japanese army was shocked and the army was unstable!
Shao Er Jing Zi made a decisive decision, stood up, raised his fan and pointed forward!

"Assault by the whole army! Assault quickly! The supervising team will step forward, and those who hesitate will be killed immediately!"

He himself also stepped on the horse, drew out the sword, came to the front of the army formation, and led the army to attack.

His judgment was very correct, and he couldn't wait any longer. Should he continue to wait for Yuan Kou's second and third rounds of artillery salvo?
Under the oppression of the supervising team, the [-] troops roared in terror and despair, and rushed towards Fan Zhuoyuan's formation.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked indifferently at the blackness in front of him, and ordered the bronze artillery to fire another round, and then the whole army stepped forward, ready for battle with spears, spears and axes!
Of course, the Japanese army was greeted by four consecutive rounds of arrow rain, and the arrow rain alone had severely damaged a large number of unarmored targets.

After meeting the enemy, the crossbowmen withdrew into the heavy infantry formation.

The heavy infantry formation shrunk tightly, making the formation more dense, and then the spear formation moved forward, and with the drums in the formation, they strode forward with rhythmic strides!

In an instant, blood splashed!
The formation of the heavy infantry has turned into four rows, which seems weak, but in fact, because they are facing unarmored light infantry, there is no need for a particularly thick formation.

And the four-row array has a huge width, and the killing surface in front of it is also huge!
Among the Japanese army, there was a daimyo who had difficulty breaking through directly in front of him, so he led his troops to the flank.

However, during the movement, a group of cavalry suddenly charged from the outside, and immediately defeated this group of soldiers and horses who intended to flank them.

At this time, Fan Zhuoyuan saw a stalemate in the front lines of the battle between the two sides. His own heavy infantry was stabbing with drums, making it difficult for the enemy to break in.

But at the same time, in order to maintain the front line, it is difficult for heavy infantry to break forward and break up the enemy's formation.

The number of enemy troops is huge and the formation is thick. Even if the combat power is not as good, through the continuous exchange of front and rear arrays, the fighting morale can always be maintained.

Fan Zhuoyuan frowned slightly, and ordered again, and the flag of the Chinese army was passed again.

A Biao infantry wearing only chain mail and leather armor, holding a sword shield or a halberd, passed through the gaps in the heavy infantry phalanx in a relatively loose formation.

As the heavy infantry shouted, their spears stabbed a large number of soldiers and horses in the enemy's front row again, causing the enemy to suspend their offensive and make adjustments.

This sturdy light infantry rolled in immediately, half kneeling on the ground with the shield knife hand, holding the shield up to block the weapons swung from above, and slashed his feet wildly with the knife.

The war halberd soldiers followed closely, and they were arranged loosely, so the war halberds could be swung freely without worrying about hitting their own people.

Moreover, these halberd soldiers are all skilled fighters. With a sweep of the halberd, a large area of ​​long spears was swung away to make a space.

The heavy infantry in the rear immediately stepped forward and stabbed again with their guns, knocking down a group of enemies.

The knife and shield hand, who was tumbling at the front and cutting his feet, took advantage of the defect in the opponent's formation, and rushed into it with his shield.

They just charged forward without stopping, their knives stabbing forward behind their shields, neither turning back nor slashing left and right.

It looks like a group of reckless men who broke into the enemy's formation to seek death, but in fact this is a way to break the formation.

The forward charge of the sword and shield soldiers is to make room for the halberd soldiers, and the halberd soldiers follow closely. The halberds need space to swing, and a large area is swept away, completely disrupting the enemy's formation.

The heavy infantry in the rear is still accompanied by drums, advancing like a city wall. The sharp spears prevent the friendly troops who break into the enemy's formation from being besieged, ensuring their retreat, and continue to kill the enemy troops whose formation is opened.

Not long after, the formation in front of the Japanese army broke down like this, and a group of people collapsed and fled back screaming in horror.

Shaoer Jingzi and all the big names looked ashamed, and the battle was indeed far from the opponent of the Central Plains army!
Under the opponent's deliberate attack, they collapsed almost immediately after meeting each other.

As the commander, the young second finance minister looked around, and he could already see the intention of retreating from the faces of all the big names.

But where can we retreat at this time?
The Dazai-sama smashed his helmet down and ordered the support troops to rush forward to prevent the collapse of the front army. If the front army continues to retreat, the supervising team will kill them!

The sharp knives of the supervising team directly killed the heads of their own troops and stopped the retreat of the former army. They were forced to continue to face the attack of Fan Zhuoyuan's army in a scattered formation.

But if the fight continues like this, it will still be a matter of time before it collapses.

Shaoer Jingzi led the banner team, rode their horses and shouted, calling out some big names who still had the will to fight one after another.

"If we want to win this battle, there is no other way but to attack the Chinese army. As long as we can break into it and defeat the Yuan Bandits' Chinese army, then there is still hope of victory."

A big name asked: "But we can't even break into their forward!"

"Lead all the banner teams, organize everyone, go around to the side, and attack from the side! The enemy's cavalry uses our infantry to contain them and block them!"

"Then our infantry will be directly defeated!"

"This is the only chance, if you are willing to follow me!"

The young master ignored their reaction, and led the banner team to the flank, and a retreating infantry had been transferred to the periphery by him.

These infantry have no morale and are basically meat shields used to block enemy cavalry.

A group of daimyos hesitated for a moment, most of them were encouraged by Shaoer Jingzi's courage and enthusiasm, and led the banner team to follow.

Before he knew it, 2000 people had gathered around Shao Er Jing Zi.

They are all the banners of guarding the daimyo, and everyone has the strength of a high-level samurai. Whether they are fighting alone or fighting in an array, they are the best of the best.

With so many elites gathered together, coupled with the encouragement of the leadership, the morale was naturally extremely high.

At this time, the overall situation was that the Japanese army was being squeezed by Fan Zhuoyuan's infantry from the front, and it was only supported by the numbers and the supervisory team.

The rear flanks were constantly being attacked by Fan Zhuoyuan's cavalry, and one by one the troops collapsed and fled. If this continued impact, the two wings of the Japanese army would be completely disintegrated sooner or later.

Therefore, there is not much time left to spend money, so he raised his sword high, let out a roar, and led two thousand banner elites to charge Fan Zhuoyuan's flank from the left.

Seeing this, Fan Zhuoyuan's cavalry in the vicinity immediately rushed to stop it, but Shaoer Jingzi launched the charge under the cover of his own left-wing infantry.

A wave of Fan Zhuoyuan's cavalry charged into the left-wing infantry, immediately setting off a bloodbath.

Although these infantrymen collapsed, they also managed to slow down the speed of the cavalry, and could only watch as Shao Er financed them to attack the flank of the formation.

At this moment, the semaphore reappeared in the formation.

The light infantry who were blocking the enemy on the flanks actually spread out to the left and right, and let these 2000 people enter the central army!
