Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 503
Almost as soon as the smoke and dust had just risen, Wang Tong had already seen that the north wind was blowing, and the smoke and dust was coming towards this side, but it was getting thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Someone lit a fire!!"

The guides in the team were already shouting loudly, the sky on the grassland was dry, whether it was snowing, the dry grass, once set on fire, the fire would spread immediately, a standard fire attack occasion.

It was a hilly terrain, and the withered grass grew tall. It was really hard to see when people were lurking. Someone in the team was coughing, and there was some commotion. It happened that Huwei Camp was downwind, and the fire was coming.

"Generals, take the edge of the camp as the edge, mow the grass three steps outside, hurry up!!"

Wang Tong yelled on the horse, and the messengers and soldiers who followed him rode their horses one after another, sending messages to four places. With one order, the commotion everywhere quickly subsided.

In addition to the main weapon spear or blunderbuss, every soldier has a saber. The Huwei camp has a car formation drill. The camping area is not only a car formation, but each regiment and battalion has a responsible direction.

When you reach the edge of responsibility, probably send a horizontal team, draw the knife and start mowing the grass. The grass stalks are crisp and easy to cut. With the well-trained soldiers of Huwei Camp, the three-step blank area is quickly cleared. .

While mowing grass everywhere, Wang Tong covered his nose and mouth and looked at the smoke and dust rolling in from the opposite side. The fire spread quickly, and the smoke and dust had almost covered half of the sky.

"General Tan, you lead the suppression in the first battalion, and ask the coachman Ding Zhuang to take care of the chariots and horses. Ma Sanbiao, you stay in the chariots and stand by at any time. If there is any yelling, you don't need to ask the officer, you can do it at any time." Beheaded for public display!"

The two men took orders loudly, Wang Tong rode his horse and ran towards the direction where the smoke and dust came, and Tan Bing was in charge of the chariot formation.

The camp soon arrived on horseback. Wang Tong's mount was already a little restless due to the smoke. When he got there, Wang Tong could see that the six-step blank area had been cleared.

"Tan Bing, send two battalions to line up on this side, set fire on the opposite side, wait for the fire to burn, and the grass and trees will be burned. Only this direction has no fire, and the enemy will definitely charge here."

Tan Bing nodded in agreement, turned around and gave the order. After a while, the two battalions formed a horizontal formation with spears in their hands. Wang Tong turned around and shouted:

"Use a big cart to block this side first, don't come out with firearms and soldiers, all stand by behind the cart, archers get on the roof, hurry up!!!"

Fireworks filled the air, not to mention that it was impossible to aim, the fuse of the firearm was exposed, and the gunpowder was not completely covered, so it was easy to go off and fire.

Just as the smoke and dust drifted in the direction, everyone's eyes were pierced and they couldn't open their eyes, coughing and crying, and they were in a panic. Tan Bing lowered his head and wiped his eyes, and said to Wang Tong:
"My lord, there are subordinates guarding here, please return to the camp to escape!"

"How can I go, I will be your rear team!"

Wang Tong said loudly, and the dozens of guards who came out with him were also lined up, and they could see the fire burning, and the smoke and dust became more and more choking. If they stood higher, they could still see the fire on the grassland Huwei Camp has been surrounded, but the fire only burns to the side of the blank area.

The fire needed fuel to burn. The grass stalks in the blank area were low and burned very quickly. The fire could not spread at all, and the wind was blowing north again. The fire had subsided right in front of Wang Tong, and the smoke had faded a bit.

"There are cavalry rushing over! There are cavalry rushing over!!"

Someone in the team shouted loudly. Although the smoke had faded, the sobriety in front was still invisible, but the vibrations on the ground and the neighing of the horses could be heard by the people in the front row.

"Ping spear, reject horse, reject horse!!"

Tan Bing yelled loudly that the two battalions in front of the line of four hundred soldiers lined up with spears forward. The soldiers in the first row stepped forward with their left foot and leaned forward. The tail end of the spear was inserted into the ground, and the front end also leaned forward. Do so and you end up with a flat end.

"Steady!! Stabilize!! The formation is not chaotic, safe and sound!!!"

General Tan and the hundreds of battalion officers below were all yelling. In fact, the soldiers were crying and couldn't keep their eyes open. The sound of horseshoes ahead and the shaking of the ground became more and more intense. Knowing that if you leave the formation, you will either be killed by the enemy or be punished by military law. Only by staying in it can you have a chance of survival, so you are desperately holding the spear.

The horses neighed, and the screams suddenly sounded, and the enemy cavalry rushed out of the smoke. They held wooden spears and long knives in their hands, and the horses ran fast.

They ran wildly along the direction of the wind, basically not affected by the smoke and dust. They had just identified the gap in front of the opponent's camp. If the fire broke out, they would take advantage of the opponent's confusion and rush in here, rushing into the Ming army's camp and hacking .

But they didn't expect that when the fire was burning, the Ming army had time to form a horizontal formation and made steel thorns made of spears.

Seeing the gleaming spear tip in front of their eyes, it was too late to stop the horse. At this time, the strange screams in their mouths turned into screams, but the screams were still useless, and they could only bump into the spear.

The Tartar cavalry and horses who ran into this line were all pierced by spears, and their loud screams turned into screams of pain. The spearmen in the first and second rows were also knocked down by this collision, and their spears were broken. .

"Steady the formation, the third row will step up to the bench!!"

Holding a spear in his hand, Tan Bing stood in the last row of the two battalions. The soldiers moved forward again in rotation, but the line of 400 men was still not wide enough, and more than a dozen cavalry rushed in from both sides.

But the Tartar cavalrymen who rushed in were already panicked. They didn't expect that the Ming army had been on guard for a long time. Hearing the screams of their companions, they were already at a loss.

The archer who was lying on the roof of the car just now had stood up, and the distance between the horizontal team and the cart was dozens of steps, and they were within range, so it was difficult to miss the shot.

The Tartar cavalry who rushed in also understood that it was impossible to escape, and they had to fight to the death, but they had the heart to fight, and Wang Tong and a group of personal guards who had been prepared here were also full of courage.

"Form formation, charge forward!!"

Wang Tong and his personal guards formed a small square team, with spears forward, striding forward.

The Tartar cavalry rushing towards them saw dozens of spears coming towards them, and wanted to charge forward, but the mounts were so frightened that they stood up straight up and threw the cavalry off the horses. The Tartars were still hanging on the stirrups and were dragged away by their mounts. It was impossible to think about it.

Seeing this scene, the other Tartar cavalry dared to continue fighting and wanted to escape, but they were surrounded by soldiers from Huwei Camp, so how could they escape.

One of the riders ran past the side of Wang Tong's small square team. He thought there was no way to turn to support himself, but he didn't expect a fan soldier to turn sideways, and the "Xuanhua ax" in his hand swept across the ground, and one of the horse's legs was directly shot Cut off, the horse hissed, the momentum of the collision continued unabated, even the horse and the people rolled forward, the horse weighed hundreds of thousands of catties, after a few rounds, the rider on the horseback would have been crushed to death.

The screams and neighing caused the Tartar cavalry who rushed up behind to slow down their horses one after another, wanting to go around the spear line, and some wanted to back away and shoot arrows.

But now, apart from this side, the rest are still burning, and only this direction can be fought. However, some of the charging troops wanted to go around, and some wanted to retreat, and they crowded together in a hurry. There is no ability to move for a short time, and it can be dispatched calmly.

"The firecrackers come out, shoot freely!!!"

Wang Tong yelled, and the firecracker soldiers who were waiting behind the cart immediately shouted and pushed away the temporary cart, and ran out with the firecrackers in their hands.

The huddled Tartar cavalry is the target. In this state, there is no need to fire a salvo to ensure the density of firepower. Just add the wooden fork, set up the firecracker, and fire step by step.

There was a sound of firecrackers popping beans, and at a distance of a hundred steps in front of the spear line, the messy Tartar cavalry screamed and fell from their horses. The spearmen who had been afraid to move could finally rub their tearful eyes and look ahead. the enemy.

"Muen!! Two-pound cannon, two-pound cannon!!"

Wang Tong's voice was almost hoarse when he shouted. The artillery is under his direct control. According to the code of conduct, the artillery should be ready. Sure enough, when he gave an order, the soldiers in front were pulling the rope, and someone behind him was pushing the cannon body, shouting. He ran out from the gap pushed by the gunmen.

"Boom these bastards!!"

There was no need for Wang Tong's order. The artillerymen hurriedly set up the cannon, tamped it down again, ignited and fired the cannon, and the cannonball flew into the front with a slanting stab. The three Tartar cavalry could not avoid it. Flesh and blood flew everywhere and he was killed on the spot.

Just now, the scatter of the firecrackers had already killed quite a few, and the artillery couldn't hit the phalanx, so the lethality was naturally much smaller. The loud bang of the artillery completely frightened the Tartar cavalry on the opposite side.

At this moment, the horn of "Woo-woo" sounded in the distance. The Tartar cavalry who heard the sound no longer dared to fight, turned their horses around in a hurry, and ran towards the north in a hurry.

Seeing the firecrackers preparing to chase a few steps and continue shooting, they shouted loudly:

"All teams return to camp to prepare, and don't be taken advantage of by the enemy."

His face was covered in soot and black ashes, and it was black when he stretched out his hand. However, there was no smoke in the north of the camp, and the Tartar cavalry who had just escaped could not be seen. In the hills, there was dry grass to cover them. , It is really difficult to find traces.

Originally thought that the enemy would attack in the next few days, but did not expect to start harassment on the first day when they left the fortress and even saw the traces of Miyun guards when they looked back. However, this time the harassment left nearly a hundred corpses, and On the Huwei camp, there were only two spear pawns who injured their arms when resisting the charge of the cavalry and needed training.

The heads of the Tartars were cut off, the bodies were burned, and the dead horses were skinned and eaten. A large area was burned around the place where Huwei camp was camped, making it much easier to guard.

At night, there are always Tartar rangers appearing far away, but they dare not approach within [-] paces.——
