Chapter 310 A Special Military Order

Feng Youxian looked to the east, and saw that the position of the Suzaku Army's central army was covered in dust and mist, billowing white smoke, and flood-like cavalry filled the mountains and fields; while the phalanx of the Suzaku Army was like lonely arks in the torrent, crumbling.

He has been in the Vermilion Bird Army for several months, and he has a clear understanding of many things.Denial phalanx is very effective against cavalry, but not so strong against more than double the cavalry at this time.Because the large number of cavalry creates a great thickness, it is difficult to retreat after being shot by firearms; similarly, the phalanx can neither prevent the cavalry from approaching nor repel its thick depth. Two rounds and three rounds of salvo | After that, there will be gaps in long-range strikes...

The most worrisome thing is the impact of the previous downturning of the banner, which is bound to have a great impact on morale.

Feng Youxian received the order to cooperate with Yao Erlang and other infantry to attack the enemy's center, but it seems that it is really difficult to accomplish it overnight. The official army has transferred a new batch of infantry reinforcements from the right wing; In the phalanx, the infantry and cavalry of the Suzaku Army have already fought several battles, the men and horses are exhausted, and the piles of iron helmet heads are impressive.

Should the cavalry return to aid the Chinese army without an order? [

Perhaps this cannot be called "unauthorized", because seeing the situation of the Chinese army at this time, it may be difficult to send messengers to convey orders to the surrounding troops.The middle management has the power to act according to circumstances under special circumstances. Feng Youxian feels that he needs to judge the situation by himself at this moment.If the cavalry retreated, the attack of Yao Erlang and other troops on the left wing would become more and more slow. Even with low morale and depletion of ordnance, it would be considered capable to hold the front line.But if the Suzaku army's central army is breached, and the whole market is about to collapse, what's the point of advancing on the left line?

Feng Youxian also has a very personal consideration: in the critical situation of the lord, as a general, he did not save him. If the Suzaku army survives in the future, how can he still gain the trust of the King of Xiang?Although Feng Youxian was a loser in the officialdom of the imperial court and was squeezed out, it's not like he didn't understand these ways at all.

Where do we go from here?The momentary thought of a military commander seems to be able to influence the direction of the entire battle.

Not only Feng Youxian, but many people here are paying attention to the situation of the Chinese army, so the new round of attack has not started yet.The flag of the Chinese army fell down once, and people didn't know if Zhang Ning was still there.At least the generals knew very well that if King Xiang died in battle, it would be very difficult for the Suzaku Army to continue to exist... People who are capable in all aspects have neither the motivation nor the prestige of confronting the court, such as the Minister of the Senate Zhu Heng; a person with status may not be capable and cannot restrain the entire army. It is difficult to gain the morale of the former Zhuque Army, just like Jianwen or his other princes. Although there are many descendants of Jianwen Yuchen in the army, they need to change one My lord might lose confidence.

The soldiers who were used to Zhang Ning by their side on weekdays, and who didn't think he was so superior, realized at this moment that his life was so important, and it was related to the fate of thousands of people.

Feng Youxian put the "treasure sword" full of gaps back into the scabbard, thinking that he should make a quick decision.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of people with eye-catching colors galloping towards him. They were the messengers of the Chinese army.Feng Youxian waited for a while, first received the military order, and unfolded it, his expression changed a little.

He kicked the horse's belly, rode the horse and rushed to the open space between the horses, waved the paper in his hand, and shouted loudly: "My lord wrote the military order himself, brothers, please be quiet, let me read it out." Attention was immediately drawn to Feng Youxian.

Feng Youxian realized that his hands were trembling a little, unfolded the military order and read aloud: "General Feng of the cavalry regiment, General Yao of the infantry regiment of the left line, and other generals, the weight of this battle depends on the [-] brothers and tens of thousands of their families. The key to the great battle lies in whether the left-wing armies can quickly defeat the enemy's central part. There is no room for maneuver in the battle so far, and the generals must not give up this goal halfway. This king deeply feels the heavy responsibility and fears death...

Human dignity, identity, rights, and land, everything on which to live, can only be stabilized through bloodshed on the battlefield, otherwise the court bureaucrats will never compromise because of reason, let alone show mercy to the family members of Gu.At this juncture, I hope that all brothers will think about their homes and relatives who have fallen into enemy territory, think about the many times our Suzaku Army fought with fewer enemies and more enemies, and think about whether the brothers in the same robe who died fighting for the land they have won so far will shed their blood in vain , showing the courage that a man should have, and defeating the enemy.

King Zhu of Xiang... His name is taboo, and he was born on the tenth day of October in the 29th year of Jianwen. "

When Feng Youxian finished reading, tears were streaming down his face. Looking at the banner of the Zhuque Army amidst the roar of the crowd, he choked up and couldn't hold back his sobs.He was originally a military general who "sells his literary and martial arts skills to the emperor's family" and a warrior who fought for the emperor of the dynasty, but now he is deeply moved by another emotion.

The battlefield seemed to be silent for a moment, and the screams of fear, despair and pain for help seemed to be drifting away.The infantry officers and soldiers on the battlefield were stunned.Suddenly someone shouted: "For my king, fight to the last!"The generals called for the battle, shouting that the corpse of the horse leather would not retreat, and the morale soared.

Yao Erlang, who was in the front line, cried a few times, and immediately ordered his troops to continue the attack.Just before, his two sentinels were preparing to move a little behind, waiting for the follow-up camp to replace the attack; because the artillery was very expensive, the gunpowder cannons were exhausted, and the cavalry cannons could not fire, so reinforcements were needed to replenish the ammunition.But at this point he seems to have lost his mind.

"Dong dong..." The drum sounded again, and the harps and fifes next to the military flag on the front side also made the music sound amidst the sound of the guns. The general shouted: "Let's go together!"

When the distance between the two armies was more than a hundred steps, there was a deafening explosion, and the flames on the opposite side flashed together. The firearms in front of the officer's army opened fire, most of which were bowl-mouth guns.The soldiers in the front row of Yao Erlang's troops fell down one after another, with heavy casualties, but the beating of the drums did not stop, and the army continued to advance, and the people in the back row filled the vacancy in the queue.

The people stood shoulder to shoulder in support of life and death, showing no sign of retreating. The dense formation made it impossible for the soldiers to swing their arms, so they could only move forward together in the crowd.

The yelling of the officers and generals on the opposite side could be heard, "Let it go!" Arrows flew all over the sky, and the Suzaku army camp was hit by another round of arrows, as if being washed away by a torrential rain.However, the armor effectively blocked the long-range projectile of the light arrow, and the loss was not great.According to the combat habits of the officers and soldiers, the next wave of blows will be the heavy arrows replaced by the front light bowmen, but they must be within fifty steps.

At eighty paces, the Suzaku army stopped, and the frontline infantry raised their heavy matchlock guns amidst scattered arrows flying, pointing one or two hundred muzzles ahead, as long as they aimed in the right direction. "Bang bang bang..." Finally, it was time for the firearms here to roar, and the white smoke rose and the flames flickered. After a while, the officers and soldiers dozens of steps away were seen falling down like a crop field blown by the wind.A new round of firearms quickly took a few steps forward, and the sound of gunfire continued, with very short intervals. [

The blood and screams caused the enemy soldiers in front to panic and collapse instantly. Most of the light soldiers were able to retreat to the two wings, but some panicked people attacked the heavy infantry formation behind, shaking the entire army formation a little.

After the third row of arquebus soldiers advanced, Yao Erlang in the army suddenly pulled out his knife and shouted: "Come on! Long live my king!" People shouted: "Kill!" The rebels who were ten steps away charged forward, and the soldiers in the depth behind pulled out their waist knives and swarmed up, like waves rolling up.

"Bang bang bang..." The vanguard dispersed the chaotic light soldiers of the officers and soldiers, and fired a burst of firecrackers at the heavy infantry.Then everyone picked up weapons such as single swords and short guns and ran up.

The infantry formation of the officer army has been deformed. Many people on the two wings and the rear were squeezed out of the formation, and some people simply dropped their weapons and ran away.At this moment, there was an angry shout from the flanks, and a general guarded by the four cavalry rushed out of the gunpowder first, with the saber pointing straight ahead as if there were a few flying sharp arrows.Immediately afterwards, a huge shout shook the battlefield, as if millions of people were rushing in, and countless horses galloped in the dust and mist.The soldiers shouted "My King", and this was the first time they called Zhang Ning. Everyone was influenced by Yao Erlang before. Perhaps this title was loud and powerful, and it was quickly accepted by people.

The fanatical cavalry, like chaotic soldiers bewitched by religion, frantically tore open gaps in the vacillating infantry ranks, and their iron hooves quickly trampled the formation out of shape.Several large phalanxes of the officers and soldiers collapsed together, and numerous disorderly soldiers scattered in all directions.

This place is close to Xue Lu's middle army, located on the right wing of the army. It is heavily fortified and equipped with all kinds of firearms. But at this moment, the scale of the infantry with no less than [-] people is like a landslide and tsunami.

On the sloping wilderness, corpses were strewn all over the ground, the grass blades were full of blood, and people and horses trampled in a mess.The Suzaku army was also in chaos, the cavalry swept across the front line in a fine formation, surging towards the center of the official army with banners and clouds.Yao Erlang's troops behind were rushing forward like a group of rioters. It was impossible for people to form a dense formation when they ran. Scattered and sparse people fought on their own, but all of them were facing one place.

The central phalanx of banners and banners of the officers and soldiers blocked Feng Youxian's cavalry charge, and scattered cavalry wandered around it, unable to break through.But after a while, Yao Erlang's troop rushed to the officer's army, and under the cover of cavalry and chaotic horses, Yao Erlang's infantry quickly approached.Thousands of steps were chaotic, but they did not retreat, but fell into a melee.

The long guns of the officers and soldiers became ineffective against the rebels who were under their noses. Even if they could kill a person in front, there would be rules-based rebels coming up to them with single swords and short guns.The queue in front of the officers and soldiers also dispersed, stirring up a mess and fighting endlessly.

At this moment, there was a burst of cannon fire from the east, and the iron ball of love quickly jumped into the crowd from the flank of the officers and soldiers.People hardly knew where the shelling was coming from, the scene was very chaotic, and the smoke was shrouded in layers.

After Yao Erlang's troops rushed up, two infantry units behind them lost command.The general who finally reached the front line decided to go around to the front of the army (east) and set up artillery in the distance.

The formation of more than 1000 people in the middle has not yet dispersed, but they cannot keep up with Yao Erlang and the cavalry regiment, so they quickly approached the battlefield in a column charge formation from behind, and then the columns spread out to both sides to form a linear formation, and the platoon guns again sounded.

There are only a few thousand people in the frontlines of the Suzaku Army, but each of them fights on their own, surrounded by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and besieges frantically at the center.There are still a large area of ​​army routs around, running around, and even the Chinese army is about to collapse.
