golden scales

"Is this a win?" Chongzhen's face was covered with sweat.When he saw his son's banner rushing into the enemy line just now, he only felt a pain in his stomach, and his whole body was weak, as if all his strength had been drained.

"Should have won." Wang Chengen also suddenly found that the towel crown was soaked with sweat.

"Go pass on the crown prince." Emperor Chongzhen barely sat up straight, his back felt cold.

The guard who was ordered to pass the order quickly ran down the watchtower and turned into a black spot in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.

……

"Formation! Keep the formation!" Liu Si yelled loudly. After a brief count, he found that there were only three people left in his flag team who could still stand.I don't know when, the Buckler, who had always been the flank, disappeared, and I don't know if he was injured and left behind, or he was already dead.

Although the eastern barbarians were repelled, they were not defeated.Although the Manchuria in the Zhenglan Banner and the Han Army in the Zhengbai Banner were split into two pieces, the main force was still there, and the formation was not in disarray.It can be regarded as a successful retreat, leaving the battle, and obviously looking for an opportunity to launch another offensive.

This time is to test the organization and discipline of the army.

Once the Ming army showed the slightest slack and slack, Bayala of the Zhenglan Banner would definitely charge down with his vest and fight hand-to-hand again.The Manchurians were fishermen and hunters, and their cruel living environment made them fearless of death. Although they were not as good at cavalry tactics as the Mongols, they could still cause huge damage to infantry.

"Your Highness! Let's go back to the watchtower first." You Shiweijin led the staff to protect Zhu Cihong's flanks: "The Donglu seems to be split into two parts, but with our army's combat power, it is really impossible to break them apart. If we attack rashly , will only end up being attacked by Jianu from both sides."

"Reform the team first," Zhu Cihong said, "General You, don't lose your judgment because of me, now is not the time to retreat suddenly."

You Shiwei felt a little ashamed.Hastily gathered the guards and officers of the staff department and organized the formation.Even in normal times, the East Palace Army requires two people to line up and three people to line up, and there are no lone soldiers on the battlefield.

Xiao Mo quickly sent an order to switch to the left wing from the reorganized [-]th headquarters.Take over the teaching department and the reserve battalion, and retreat slowly.

Auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands collected injured comrades in the array, and carried them back to the field hospital behind on stretchers for treatment.

The retreating soldiers are also responsible for making up for the Donglu who are not dead.The battle is not over now, and any surviving Jianu may bring changes, so no prisoners must be left behind.

Wang Yi walked in the queue with a spear on his shoulder.The blood stained on the tip of the gun made Hongying condense into a ball, flowing down with the tilted gun shaft.He lightly carved a cross on the end of the barrel of the gun with the dagger at his waist. This was his first record as an Eastern Palace soldier—two armored soldiers.

Although Wang Yi followed his father in the ranks, he never killed anyone.Even the father he adores so much.And only occasionally ruthless enemies who had to be killed.

Under normal circumstances, his father took him to avoid the attacks of officers and soldiers or other local thieves, and at the same time, he also had to avoid the swords of the supervising team behind him.This gave him an illusion, as if fighting is more like a game, and as long as his brain is active and skillful, he will not die, and no matter how bad he is, he can escape.

This is his first time on the battlefield as a soldier, and the first time he understands what it means to "advance but never retreat".The rhetoric before the battle seemed childish and ridiculous at the moment, but after erasing the excitement and fear.It feels really good to assassinate the enemy.

——It's a pity that the East Palace doesn't use heads to record credit.

Wang Yi was a little disappointed, but after two months of recruit training.He has already deeply understood the importance of formation on the battlefield. Without his comrades to cover each other, no matter how good his marksmanship is, it is impossible for him to take the lives of Donglu armored soldiers alone.All of a sudden, he felt a little lost again, feeling that the gun stick boxing technique he had practiced so hard for so many years was not as effective as the two months of training in the reserve camp on the battlefield.

"Keep the formation." Mr. Qian rode past the reserve battalion.Shouted loudly: "Stand up! Turn backwards!"

Wang Yi was selected into the soldier reserve battalion after the second stage of training began, and was selected as the banner captain because of his excellent assessment results.Hearing Mr. Qian's order, Wang Yi immediately reacted, and shouted the order: "Stand up! Turn back!" The captains of the other flag teams also gave orders, and the entire phalanx of the reserve division stopped soon .Turn to Donglu.

"Ready for battle!" Mr. Qian shouted loudly, and conveyed it through the captains of each banner again.

Although this will cause a delay in order, it can help recruits gradually drum and form conditioned reflexes.Like a battle-hardened veteran, he knows when to go and when to stop as long as he listens to the drumbeat.

The Combat Reserve Division made preparations to meet the enemy, and the troops in front turned around in order and retreated slowly.Repeatedly like this, there will always be troops maintaining a fighting posture, which also makes Donglu dare not attack easily.

The artillery position was moved forward by nearly half a mile to consolidate the battlefield space occupied by the army.The East Palace Army has also adjusted the rotation of each department, especially the tank division, which rushed to the front, with a battle loss close to 40.00%, and has been replaced to the back.

The engineers and soldiers of various ministries stepped forward to build simple fortifications, preparing to deal with another attack on the Eastern Barbarians.

She An stood in front of the headquarters, with Donglu's blood on his face.He looked up at the sun, there was still some time before going down the mountain, and there was still time to fight for a while.If we can drag the Eastern captives and prevent them from joining forces and setting up camp, we can fight a night battle today to completely defeat the Eastern captives.

——But even the crown prince has brought the reserve battalion into battle, so I'm afraid the troops are still insufficient.The second and third camps are also really vegetarians!I still don't know where I went.

She An felt helpless, if reinforcements had arrived just now, the Donglu soldiers would definitely be defeated.He raised his binoculars and inspected the Donglu soldiers in the distance back and forth.After a bloody battle, they were resting as a whole team, and they didn't know whether it was lax discipline or they didn't pay attention to Ming soldiers, but someone in the formation of Zhengbai flag actually put down their firecrackers.

Suddenly, She An saw several black dots rushing out from the enemy formation, causing a commotion.He stared at the black dot with great interest, and only when he got closer did he realize that it was three startled horses.

wrong!Someone right away!

As the horse galloped, in the binoculars, a soldier could already be seen crawling on the horse's back, wearing a helmet and chain mail armor, with two arrows stuck in his back.After he ran past, the musketeers in Zhengbai Banner raised their guns and fired one after another, as if they had nothing to do with it.

——Who is this?Changshan Zhao Zilong?Just rushed out of the enemy line!

She An sighed.

The man on the horseback obviously had excellent riding skills, even while the galloping horse was galloping, he was able to change horses without stopping.It seems that the two arrows stuck in his back did not cause any harm to him.

A few more riders flew out of the white flag, apparently chasing that man.

"Ready to respond!" She An shouted loudly, "The Second Division is ready to fight, drum up, and move forward! Report to General Xiao."

Just a knight quickly attracted the mobilization of the entire battle line.The sound of high-spirited military drums made Jiannu's chasing soldiers fearful, and the speed of the horse did not mention the fastest speed. Finally, it turned around in the middle of the battlefield and retreated.

The knight rushed to the front of the second division's formation, turned off his horse, and brought up a cloud of dust.

"Who is the chief officer?" The knight stood up, glanced at She An's rank, and shouted loudly.

She An also took a look at the knight's rank, and it was actually on the same level as him.Thinking of this person's riding skills, he might be the head of a certain unit of the cavalry battalion.

"It's She An, Colonel of the First Division of the First Guards Battalion, who is here!" She An rushed forward.

"Huang Chengming, Colonel and Chief of Staff of a certain cavalry battalion, has urgent military information to pass to General Xiao Moxia, the battalion officer of the First Guards Battalion." The knight responded loudly.

"Consultant?" She An was quite surprised: the staff's riding skills are so good!It seems that the cavalry battalion is really useful for retreating in Pingdu Prefecture.He said: "Please get on the horse and follow me."

Huang Chengming got on his horse with ease, and his movements were light and unrestrained, which attracted the soldiers to look up.

Xiao Mo quickly met the knight who caused the commotion between the two armies, and at the same time got the military information sent by the knight.It was a coded notice sealed in a cardboard envelope. After translating it according to the agreed secret dictionary, Xiao Mo knew that the cavalry battalion had already moved into place and would launch an attack on Zhenglan Banner Manchuria at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. The First Battalion of Wei cooperated in the battle.

At the bottom of this secret letter, there is a line "The grass in the south of the Yangtze River is not withered in autumn", and the four corners of each word are marked with ticks, circles, crosses, and dots.The function of this command word is to echo the content of the secret letter and to repeatedly confirm the numbers and directions involved in the code letter.If there is a discrepancy, then the coded letter is suspected of being forged, and it is absolutely unacceptable.
