Win the Ding 1617

As soon as the expert stretches out his hand, he will know whether it is there.

After a long time of effort, Zuo Liangyu's army finally changed the direction of the formation and adjusted the front to the west.However, at this time, the sun was already slightly westward, and the strong late spring sunlight shone on people's faces, and they felt bursts of heat deep in their skin, and sweat kept coming out from under the armor.

The left army is still guarded by more than a thousand cavalry on both wings, and more than 2 infantry are on the front. Zuo Liangyu's central army is the core of the entire army, and more than [-] elite infantry guards around his [-] standard battalion servants.

The roars of the officers and generals scolding and cursing the soldiers were still echoing in his ears, but Zuo Liangyu turned a deaf ear to them, and just stared at the opposite army to observe.

Compared with the noisy and noisy waves of our own army, the position of the Zhenshan camp seemed much quieter.

Zhenshan Battalion's formation was not quite the same as Zuo Liangyu's Army, with thousands of cavalry in the center and thousands of infantry on each flank.The formation of a single infantry made Zuo Liangyu's back shiver. The troops were neat and capable, and almost everyone was wearing a helmet.

According to the practice in Zuo Liangyu's army, generally only elite soldiers and servants could wear full body armor.In terms of equipment, the Zhenshan Battalion in front of them can tell without asking, it is definitely the elite among the camps!

"It seems that Li Chuang is planning to use this elite army to entangle me, and then deal with us after they clean up those trash!"

After convening a few able-bodied generals around him for a brief discussion, Zuo Liangyu's army and horses began to move.

Thousands of infantry passed by his standard battalion and were transferred to the front of the formation. They will be the first wave of charge and dare to fight.Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, this is Zuo Liangyu's consistent style.Already ordered this reward to yell loudly several times in front of the formation.Charge up and kill the rogues, their armor and their belongings.Not to mention that all the weapons in his hands belong to him, the commander even rewarded him with five silver dollars!

"Master Luo, our cannons are ready!"

Although Luo Hu is not here at this time, on other occasions, he is still a child who has just grown up, but here.He is the chief general of Zhenshan Battalion.Naturally, the team officer of the artillery team had to report to him the deployment of the dozen or so six-pound guns and the Dafolang machine in strict military discipline.

"Boom him a bitch!"

The small cavalry of the two armies continued to confront each other on the two wings of the battlefield, preventing the cavalry of the other side from trying to approach the formation of the army.

Under the cover of the cavalry, thousands of forwards of the left army slowly pressed forward. The formation was in a mess and twisted, but the crowd was dense, with swords and guns, and slogans sounded continuously from the formation, followed by someone echoed loudly.

"Kill the thief!"

"Make a fortune!"

There were bursts of wild shouts mixed together.It was as earth-shattering as a strong wind sweeping the sea tide. As they shouted, the swords and guns in their hands rolled up like waves with their steps, and the swords and guns shone with light and fluctuated in the sun.The power of thousands of people rushing here, even Zhang Dingguo, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, was worried and a little uneasy.On the contrary, Luo Hu, Wang Si'er and the others also bit their cheeks tightly, their faces flushed.The eyes are full of excitement.

"put!"

The thousands of cavalry lined up neatly in front of the formation not only did not rush up to meet the offensive of the left army, but quickly retreated to the two wings under the order issued by the central army.Expose the six-pound gun and the big Buddha Lang machine behind him.The light-weight six-pound gun and the Big Frang machine, which are light in weight and easy to move quickly, have already been loaded and adjusted. The muzzle of the gun is almost parallel to the ground.With a loud shout from the gunner, a six-pound gun shook violently, and the muzzle shot out a sharp flame.Thick smoke followed.The strong recoil caused the two-wheeled gun mounts to take a big step back. Amidst the deafening noise, a round six-pounder shell viciously smashed into the formation of the left army.

The tide-like cheers were immediately suppressed by the huge artillery fire, and came to an abrupt end in an instant.The left army soldiers who were still shouting and cursing just now kept their mouths shut.Eyes looked at the direction the cannonball was coming from.

The cannonball flew straight into the crowd, bouncing and bouncing among the dense crowd, causing countless bloody sprays.The head of one person, the arms of two people, and the thighs and calves of many people became the bloody data for testing kinetic energy.A ballistic trajectory full of flesh and blood, stumps and broken bones remained among the vanguard of the left army. Along the trajectory, blood and wailing sounded everywhere.

Seeing the miserable state of the people around them, the soldiers of the left army who were still high in morale just now started a commotion, and many of them looked ashen and ran around like headless chickens.A shell from the Zhenshan Camp had already opened up the path for the soldiers of the Left Army to be defeated.

Zuo Menggeng, who was watching the formation with his own soldiers behind him, could see clearly, and his expression changed suddenly. He never dreamed that the chasing team would actually carry artillery, not only in large numbers, but also capable of fighting. so far!

Before he came back to his senses, the sound of almost all the soldiers in the left army incontinent urinating came again.The cannonball just now was just a test firing of the standard cannon, which belonged to the pre-dinner dessert. This time the shelling is the official serving!And a real treat!The roar of dense artillery sounded, and more than a dozen large and small iron balls smashed over again. They landed in the left army's forward formation, smashed and rolled around, and beat the soldiers of the left army crying for their father and mother, just running around.

There was another round of cannonballs, another wave of artillery shells arrived, and dozens of large and small iron balls smashed into the forward formation of the left army again, watching the blood and flesh of the people around them flying, with limbs and limbs severed.They also had bursts of violent commotion, and it was useless for the officers to suppress it desperately.Suddenly there was a shout in front, and with a bang, the entire forward collapsed.

The two groups of cavalry who had just retreated to guard the two wings of the Zhenshan Battalion gave a shout and rushed out from the two wings, drawing a beautiful arc on the two wings of the rout.The rolling momentum of thousands of cavalry made these rout soldiers even more frightened, but the more terrifying thing was yet to come.

The cavalry galloping past the rout's flanks did not rush into the rout's ranks to slash and kill, but stuck closely to the rout's ranks, only twenty or thirty paces apart.

"Take the gun!"

"Raise the gun!"

"put!"

In the sound of passwords that kept ringing in the ranks, the cavalry soldiers each took the horse guns that had been ready to stop from behind, pulled off the caps of the guns, and pulled the trigger on the left army soldiers who were crying and running wildly in front of them.The faucet is assisted by a spring.Friction with the flint sparked and ignited the primer.Furthermore, the propellant in the gun barrel also expanded rapidly, kicking the lead bullet out.

Most of these cavalry teams passing by the two wings of the left army were soldiers recruited in Shandong. In the eyes of the veteran battalion soldiers, their riding skills were nothing more than just knowing how to ride horses and use firecrackers on horseback.At best, they can be regarded as infantry who can ride horses.but.However, these people were greatly praised by Mr. Li Yan, who was recognized as the most knowledgeable in the camp, and found a resounding name for them from the classics and historical materials, calling them dragoons.

This tactic of the dragoons is actually the same as the riding and shooting technique used by the northern nomadic cavalry experienced in the past dynasties, but the horn bow is replaced with a firecracker, and the silent arrow becomes a sound. Projectiles of great weapons of deterrence,

With the intensive shooting of projectiles, there was a wave of blood in the crowd, of course.In fact, if you count carefully, the casualties are not large. If it was during World War I and World War II, the soldiers would even feel that this kind of injury can be ignored. Unfortunately, this is the Chongzhen period.The roaming dragoons on both wings shoot freely. According to the experience of countless predecessors and juniors, side shooting is always the most convenient way to use firepower.At the same time, losses will be minimized.Of course, infantry can also make a turn around action.Turning the side to the front, but turning the entire army from the side to the front in a short period of time is definitely not what Zuo Liangyu can do.The real performance of Zuo Liangyu's infantry is that they can't tell the difference between south, east and north at all, and only know how to run around blindly.They can't even fix a direction to escape, let alone change queues to meet them.

"This group of useless idiots!"

Under the commander-in-chief, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw that the forward infantry phalanx was completely chaotic, being massacred by the infantry and cavalry who were chasing up leisurely.Although the infantry are all miscellaneous soldiers for consumption.But without these miscellaneous soldiers, how many battles and how many days would his elite and standard battalion servants be able to fight?

"Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Ensheng, Hao Xiaozhong, Jin Shenghuan, Chang Deng, Xu Yong, Wu Xueli, Zhang Yingyuan, Xu Yuxian, you all go back to the headquarters and press down on the commander from the north and south wings. The commander will surround the whole gang with one blow. Annihilation!"

Almost without thinking about it, Zuo Liangyu made up his mind, he wanted to use his superior force to form a huge encirclement circle on the land of eastern Henan, and swallow this group of elite thieves in one gulp!

In order to buy time for his generals to mobilize their troops after returning to the headquarters, Zuo Liangyu ordered Zuo Menggeng without hesitation to transfer the [-] elite cavalry following the actions of the Biaoying servants to shoot at the two wings. The Zhenshan Battalion dragoons launched an attack in order to give his huge infantry team time to change into formation and attack.

To Zuo Liangyu's delight, it seemed that Zuo Menggeng's offensive was very effective. Under the pounce of [-] Zuoying elites, he kept rushing to the Zuoying formation and kept shooting Zuoying with firecrackers. The defeated soldiers, the dragoons of the Zhenshan Battalion, who were creating huge pressure on the flanks and back of the retreating army, seemed to feel fear, and had almost no intention of fighting Zuo Menggeng. They just fired a few guns from a distance to cover their retreat Then he turned his horse's head and fled westward to return to the main formation.

There is a door, it turns out that this kind of firecracker cavalry is afraid of melee combat!Hey, that's easy!I will use elite men and horses to kill your cavalry in close combat, and then I will lead a large group of infantry to attack your central army with the elite servants as the forerunner!

Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong!This great gift you sent is disrespectful, and I am ashamed to accept it!When I organize the team, the thugs sent by you thieves will become the fat in my handsome mouth!

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu immediately ordered: chase!Be sure to wipe out this batch of gunfire cavalry from the intruders!

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that when he saw Zuo Liangyu's servants start chasing the dragoons, Luo Hu couldn't help showing an innocent and lovely smile on his face. It is very common, but it is not common on the faces of people like Luo Hu who have struggled to survive on the battlefield since childhood.Seeing Luo Hu's expression, Zhang Dingguo, Wang Si'er and others at the side couldn't help but feel moved. It seems that Lao Zuo is going to be in trouble!Because if the person who has seen Luo Hu look like this is not his friend, then he will go to the west.

"Artillery team, aim at Zuo Menggeng's cavalry team, boom! Dafo Langji, change the shotgun."

"The horse team is ready to attack!"

The gunners replaced the guns one after another for Dafo Langji, and the shells fell continuously on Zuo Menggeng's cavalry team.The formation of these cavalry, which had no formation, was even more chaotic.

However, Zhang Dingguo took a look at the cavalry of the Zhenshan Camp who were nervously lining up with only a saber in their hands, and couldn't help but look worried on his handsome face.

"Huzi, let my people go up with your cavalry! Your cavalry is really bad!"

The cavalry team of Zhenshan camp is composed of 50 people.The long column is divided into two columns.Evaluation by Zhang Dingguo's standards, these cavalry can only barely be called cavalry, riding and martial arts, at best they can ride horses, and they can use knives to kill people on horseback.

Although no one could be heard in the entire formation except for the occasional neighing, Zhang Dingguo was still very worried.This little brother of mine will suffer!The cavalry under Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, he has been taught many times, they are all old fritters who have followed him in the South and North for many years, their personal skills are exquisite, and the horses are also well fed, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary Ming army cavalry.

"Brother Ning Yu, that's fine! Your team will be the third row, and rush up. Cut off heads, capture prisoners, and collect the horses!" Luo Hu's nonchalant words made Zhang Dingguo almost laugh out loud at him.What are you kidding?

However, Luo Hu's next sentence made Zhang Dingguo change his attitude instantly.

"No matter how strong his Zuotu Lord's cavalry is, can he still beat the Liao thief's cavalry?"

Hundreds of Zhang Dingguo's personal soldiers and hundreds of veterans in Luo Hu's battalion barely formed a third line behind the two lines of cavalry in a scattered formation.Prepare to act as a support after the first two columns rush up.

As soon as the sound of the cannon stopped, the gunners cooled the hot barrel of the cannon with a wool push rod soaked in water.The sizzling hot air exudes its own enthusiasm from the inside of the gun barrel to the outside.

The cavalry of the Zhenshan Battalion poured out like a tide, slowly crossed the artillery position, and began to accelerate towards the cavalry of the opponent.

At this time, Zuo Menggeng was roaring angrily.

In almost every round of shelling, at least a hundred of their own cavalry were hit by shells.Or trample on each other to death.What's more, the momentum of the whole charge was disrupted.

"Stand back a bit, and give the brothers a space to charge!"

His order, which did not pass through his brain, played a very good role in creating more chaos and conflicts between his infantry and cavalry, and providing space for the cavalry of the Zhenshan Battalion to display.If he ordered the cavalry from the left battalion to rush up and mix with the cavalry from the Zhenshan battalion, the cavalry from the left battalion might not be able to wipe out Luo Hu's thousands of cavalry with their individual skills and combat effectiveness.

However, there is no such commodity as regret medicine in the world.

The retreating cavalry mingled with the slowly advancing infantry, trampling, colliding, clashing and shouting at each other, while the cavalry in front were let go of the speed of their horses, and lined up like a cluster of knives. The state of wheat has been chopped down.

"Damn! That's how it is!"

Zhang Dingguo, who had dealt with the Model Brigade in Sichuan, saw at a glance that the cavalry tactics of the Zhenshan Battalion were exactly the same as the cavalry battalion tactics of the Model Brigade!First, the cannon blasted for a while, making the formation of the cavalry rushing towards the opponent even more scattered. Afterwards, a group of 50 cavalry entered like a wall and slammed into it abruptly. The sabers were everywhere, trampling the already scattered cavalry of the left battalion. Under the iron hoof.

The left battalion cavalry, who was lucky and highly skilled in personal martial arts, was lucky enough to break through the offensive of the first column of horses, and ran into the second column that followed.There were endless cries of misery, and people kept falling from their horses, and in a blink of an eye they were trampled to pieces and turned into a puddle of flesh.

What happened to the brothers in the front, the cavalry of the left battalion would naturally not go head-to-head with this group of lunatics who rushed up to change their lives, and just turned their horses and fled backwards. A group, how can there be a path for the cavalry to escape?

However, they didn't care about that much anymore, many cavalrymen from the left battalion broke into the infantry team as soon as they rode their horses!

The elite infantrymen of the Left Battalion would not be willing to let the cavalry masters step over their ranks or even on top of their heads. For a while, the sound of cursing and screams came from the ranks continuously, and several ranks Blood has already burst out.

However, this is not the worst.

While beating the left battalion cavalry until they fled, Luo Hu had already mobilized thousands of firecrackers from the Zhenshan battalion, followed closely behind Zhang Dingguo's cavalry and slowly pressed up.

A rush of short-lived orders sounded among the cavalry ranks. Following this urgent order, the cavalry did not dare to neglect, and turned their horses' heads one after another, turning to the sides.An extremely wide front was reserved for thousands of gunfire soldiers who formed two rows and were no more than a hundred steps away from the left battalion's broken elite.

"Go back! Rush up! Kill and scatter the bandit's infantry!"

When Zuo Menggeng saw this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, he knew exactly what kind of fine weapon the firecracker was, at most two rounds, it was something that was not even as good as a firestick.At present, there are at least 6000 infantry and cavalry under his command!Even with human life to fill it, this group of thieves' firecrackers can be defeated!

The messy infantry and cavalry of the left battalion were mixed with each other, rushing towards the gunfire soldiers of the Zhenshan battalion like a dirty flood.

"put!"

Thousands of firecrackers fired calmly when the soldiers and horses of the left battalion rushed to less than sixty steps away from themselves, and arrows were already shot at them!The continuous sound of firecrackers sounded like popping beans on the Great Plains of Eastern Henan!
