Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 755
In Jizhen, the return artillery built behind the Tartar infantry array was also found. The banner changed, and Ma Yong, who had been fighting with the Tartar cavalry on the flanks, left the battlefield and led the cavalry to rush forward.

The battlefield is a mutual action. Here the cavalry of the Ming army charged towards the catapult position, and immediately sent additional cavalry from the main formation of the Tartars to respond. He immediately blocked the cavalry led by Ma Yong, and the two sides fought in a scuffle.

Facing the cavalry superior to his own, the side car array behind him could not provide effective support, and Ma Yong did not dare to fight with the enemy, otherwise he would be eaten directly.

As soon as you make contact, you immediately move towards the flanks, trying to turn around, but you are a cavalry, and the Tartars are also cavalry, so naturally you will not let the Ming army's cavalry do what you want, and they bite again. fight.

Jizhen watched helplessly as the construction of the trebuchet was gradually completed. The originally perfectly fitted side box formation had four openings, exposing the muzzle of the artillery.

Looking at the caliber of such a cannon, it is almost a general cannon or even a general cannon, but it is very difficult to fire such a heavy artillery immediately. It is necessary to build a fort, fix the cannon body with ropes and wooden frames, and then load and fire the cannon.

Carrying such cannons is originally for the purpose of siege. It is really inconvenient to use it in field battles. Moreover, there is a bastard place. At this time, the weather is very cold and the ground is hard. It is not easy to fetch soil Things, I have been busy for a long time and haven't made a mound yet.

In the end, it was a boss who had an idea, and directly unloaded the grain bags on the luggage, and used this to build a fort. Although it was a waste, he didn't care about it so much.

Now the two sides are competing for speed to see whether the artillery can fire first or the trebuchet will fire first.

***********
Compared with the entanglement here, Wang Tong's side was much more straightforward. With the joint efforts of the security forces and civilian husbands, the Huwei army's cart formation slowly opened up.

The gunfire soldiers of the first and second regiments appeared first, and they ran out quickly in a row of ten. After taking eighty steps out of the battle, they took a shooting posture to defend. The Tartar cavalry and the Han infantry who had suffered , didn't even dare to get close, and immediately avoided it far away, and then there was the spearman.

Unlike Jizhen’s General Manager and Qian Zong who rode horses, the Tiger’s Mighty Army regiment chief also had to fight on foot, and it was the base point of the formation. Li Hutou and Tan Bing, who were fully armored, ran out quickly and lined up in the chariot. On both sides of the open space in front of the formation, trumpeters, standard bearers and drummers stood behind him, and the spearmen began to arrange the square formation based on him.

The phalanx of spearmen in each regiment consists of thousands of people, 25 horizontally and [-] vertically. Except for the front line of defense, the firecrackers are also lined up fifty steps away from the spearmen.

Battalion officers and team officers urged and shouted, and the sound of counting in place was heard endlessly. Wang Tong, his personal guards and more than a hundred elites dispatched by the cavalry were on the right side of the army formation. Beside them was the artillery team led by Mu En. .

Cannons of three kilograms or less were left in the car formation for protection. Mu En brought out fifteen six-pound cannons and eight nine-pound cannons this time. There are also cannon carriages to carry them, but each cannon requires at least four horses to drag it, and a nine-pound cannon requires six horses. This is because the cannonballs are dragged by another horse.

The number of the artillery team, including all the artillery and auxiliary personnel, is more than 600 people. Many of the civilians are not paid as much as the artillery. These people are the auxiliary of the artillery team.

The blunderbuss soldiers who appeared first had already fired sporadically, and the Targa cavalry always wanted to approach, and the blunderbuss fired to drive these people away.

The watchtower in the Huwei military vehicle formation has already advanced, and the guards of the watchman continue to pass on the news they have received through messengers, and the Tartars have also begun to mobilize troops.

The number of cavalry rushing to this side from the main formation is already more than that thrown at Ji Town. Since the tiger's mighty army is teasing the field battle, then use the superior force to completely break this side.

In addition, about 3000 cavalry soldiers were separated from the main formation of the Tartars and turned towards the right side of the Huwei army. Since the main force came out of the army formation, the army formation must be empty. Sending cavalry to break the formation is also a good time .

This side was originally a road to and fro, the army was coming and going on the battlefield, the snow had melted, and the land in some places without snow had been trampled by people and horses, and the dust was up to the sky, but the weather was fine and the sun was not bad.

The spearmen of the Tiger's Might Army are all wearing Tiger's Mighty plate armor, helmets, visors, elbow pads, and greaves. Although these armors have been blackened and rust-resistant, they are very dim, but in the sun, they still glisten with metal. of light.

After the formation of the two phalanxes, the surrounding Tartars obviously became quiet. What kind of army is it that the infantry can wear such armor? Can bows and arrows shoot through such armor?

**************
"Why are there so many cannons on the side of the Minggou Imperial Army? Huhe Bari, the cavalry under my account will also give you two thousand-man squadrons. It takes time to set up the cannons. Before the Ming army's cannons are set up, go and break them!" he!"

Sengeduguleng Khan's son, Talik, was the commander of the Tartar army. Sengeduguleng Khan just watched silently from the sidelines. Many of his actions were different from the traditions on the grassland. When the old Khan was sober, As usual, soldiers and horses are still in direct control, and are not handed over to the eldest son, or even let the eldest son intervene.

But Senggedu Gulen was so neglected by Alda back then. When he became King Khan, his eldest son Talik was appointed as the chief general. A lot of credit has been paid, which proves that his vision is right.

Hearing Lalik's order, Huhe Bari immediately bowed to accept the order, and another group of cavalry entered the battlefield. Lalik looked sideways at the indifferent Senggedu Gulen Khan, and said in a low voice:
"Father Khan, the fierce battle is about to begin. Father Khan's body of ten thousand gold should not be on the battlefield. Please return to the city to take charge of the overall situation. There are still many Han people in the city. I am worried that their minds will be unstable!"

Senggedu Gulen Khan nodded and said in a hoarse voice:

"The Ming army came from afar, and the food and grass were brought with them. We don't need to entangle with them for too long. If there are any twists and turns, we can go back to the city and defend them. They will return when they run out of food and grass. When the time comes, we will go after them."

"Father Khan taught me the lesson!"

Lalik bowed respectfully on the horse to listen to the training. Senggedu Guleng looked haggard and nodded. With the help of the guards, he dismounted from the horse, got into a gorgeous carriage, and was escorted by the cavalry to Guihua City. direction.

"Khan seems to be in a bad mood"

"I heard people say that Khan cried bitterly after drinking last night, saying that Altan Khan (the first generation of Altan Khan) was in power, and the Ming army did not dare to step out of the frontier. Now he is here, but he was beaten to naturalization by the Ming army. in front of the city"

Some cavalrymen were whispering there, but the general in front gave him a stern stare, and immediately dared not speak.

****************
At the beginning, the firecrackers were only shooting sporadically, but the sound of the firecrackers became more and more intensive, and the Tartars did not give the Huwei army time to regroup.

After retreating a little, they gathered in formation, and rushed forward again. Without the cover of the wooden wall of the cart array, even the Han infantry felt that they had the possibility of victory. He came to drive him away, and leaned forward tremblingly.

"Scatterers return to the team!! Skirmishers return to the team!!"

The battalion officers on the right side of the firecracker formation were all shouting at the top of their lungs. The Huwei Army firecrackers who had been scattered everywhere just now hurried back to the queue. The firecrackers lined up in front of them in a row of 60 people. The large horizontal team covered the line of spearmen behind them, and without the sporadic firing of firecrackers, the team of the Tartars was almost assembled and began to rush forward.

"Drove the Han people to the front, the Han people rushed to the front, the cavalry followed, the front fell down, the rear rushed up, the front didn't charge, the rear immediately slashed, and rushed to the Ming army, their flamboyance was useless Already!!"

The order was delivered loudly in the Tartar army, the Mongolian cavalry on horseback yelled loudly, and the Han infantry shouted in unison, and rushed forward again.

In their impression, it is one thing to rely on the fortifications of the city to shoot, but without cover and exposed to the enemy in the field, it is another thing to shoot in combat. They fired randomly when they entered the range, and they couldn't shoot when they got close.

Each cheered himself up with these words, howled and charged.

The officers and soldiers of the firecrackers looked at the Han infantry rushing in front of them with indifferent eyes. Now they have no obstacles in their hearts. These people are willing to be the swords of the Tartars and do not want to resist. They do not deserve pity and sympathy. , the commander of the firecrackers was concentrating on judging the distance, waiting for the order.

This time it was closer, seventy paces, and they were a little excited to see the infantry rushing to the front. They thought that the firearms of the Ming army were out of order.

"Fire!!"

The general yelled, and then the shout and other voices were drowned out by the roar of the exploding firecrackers. With such a horizontal formation and such a density of firepower, there was no one on the right front who could rush over.

Screaming, falling down, dying, and then repeating the process, the first row and the second row of firecrackers retreated to the queue to reload the ammunition nervously, and after the rest of the rows were finished, they ran back to the long line according to the pre-arranged arrangement. On both sides of the spear formation, where ammunition is loaded.

The gunfire lineup fired seven rounds in total, and the pawns were almost wiped out. The remaining people finally realized that there was a more terrifying place of death ahead, and began to run in all directions. However, after their consumption, within a hundred steps , There is no obstacle, the front of the Tartar cavalry is the spearmen of the Huwei Army.

"Ping Mao, refuse the horse!!!"

The generals of the Tiger Mighty army roared and issued orders!
