Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 242 The ever-changing
Du Yinxi looked at the Qing army's phalanx and said: "The combat power of the Eight Banners of Manchuria cannot be underestimated. There are [-] fine cavalry on the left and right of Luck Dehun, and there are many heavy cavalry with both men and horses in battle armor. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. How will the Duke pinch his head and tail?"

"The Eight Banners are really powerful. It's a pity that the swarm of bees and the hundred tigers running together arrows brought by the governor from Guangnan were used to deal with Geng Zhongming. Otherwise, if they were used to deal with the Manchurian cavalry, they would have a miraculous effect. Now the governor can only hope that the two wings You can rely on the battlefield and artillery to stop the Manchu cavalry." Wang Yan explained to Du Yinxi, and at the same time said to the chess and card officer next to him: "Send the order, the left and right armies will take the defensive position, and entangle the Qing cavalry. , the former army took advantage of it, and gave the governor to smash the green battalion in front of him, and then directly cut off the snake's body."

"Promise!" The flag officer responded with a bang, and then hung up the blue and white flags representing the left and right armies on the watch car, and swung them down twice, indicating to take a defensive position, and then waved up the red flag, representing the front army, to signify Show the former army to attack.

On the watch chariot, as soon as the command flag of the Ming army was waved, the entire Ming army started to move in an instant. Chariots and baggage carts from the left and right armies pushed forward one after another. Immediately above, a moving city wall was formed.

Teams of fire commanders boarded the vehicles, while spearmen and sword and shield players began to fill the gaps between the vehicles, and then the infantry and archers were ready to throw.

The front army saw another scene. The artillery placed at the front began to roar loudly, bombarding the green battalion soldiers who entered the shooting range. The light soldiers with swords and shields began to stride forward, followed by the spearmen with long spears, and finally the longbowmen.

This is the most typical offensive formation of the Ming army. Generals Dai Zhifan and Liu Fangliang led a loyal army of more than [-] soldiers, pointing at the captives with swords, and advancing towards the Qing soldiers.

"The great Ming Dynasty can shake mountains~"

"Eliminate the Tartars and restore our rivers and mountains~"

In the large formation of the Qing army on the opposite side, Tong Yanghe saw Wang Yan move the front army forward, and immediately said happily: "Master Belle, the bait you put has worked, and the Ming army has gone all the way."

Luck Dehun has been watching the entire battlefield. He heard Tong Yanghe's words, but his face was not happy. At this time, he picked up the binoculars and glanced at the Ming army formation, but said: "Wang Yan is still For some skills, the Han people have read much more military books than this king, but they can see through my commander's intentions at a glance."

Tong Yang and Wen Yu were very puzzled, "Isn't Wang Yan all out of the former army? What does Lord Baylor say?"

Luck Dehun pointed to the left and right armies of the Ming army and said: "Wang Yan could see at a glance that the commander-in-chief's arrangement was a long snake formation, so he arranged a chariot camp among the left and right armies, and he wanted to use the chariot camp Wrap around my commander's cavalry, pinch the head and tail, and then the Ming army can directly attack my commander's central army."

"How does Lord Belle plan to deal with it?" Tong Yanghe asked.

Luckard sneered for a while, "Wang Yan claimed to be familiar with military books, but whoever said that he must fight according to the Han people's military methods. I, a warrior in the Qing Dynasty, did not read military books. Didn't I just kill Li Zicheng? Still defeated the Hongguang court."

"What does Lord Baylor mean?" Luckard smiled coldly, and instead of answering Tong Yanghe, he ordered the guards of the army: "Send the order, the left and right troops will go out, and directly attack the middle army. Wang Yan's head!"

"Zha~" The pro-military guards saluted immediately, and after a while, they saw the green flag and white flag suddenly raised under the Qing army's banner.

The cavalry generals on the left and right flanks of the Qing army immediately drew out their sabers when they saw the flag, and uttered Manchu language in their mouths. The Manchurian iron cavalry on both sides poured out like a rolling flood, and directly killed the central army of the Ming army obliquely. .

On the battlefield, Dai Zhifan and Liu Fangliang had already killed Shen Yongzhong together. The Green Battalion soldiers were bombarded by artillery for a while, and then attacked by Ming troops several times larger. They were immediately defeated.

But at this time, the front army of the Ming army protruded from the front, and the central army had no protection before. If the cavalry of the Qing army directly inserted into the central army from the gap between the two wings and the front army, the Ming army would be in danger.

"The Great Qing will win~" At this time, the [-] Manchu cavalry troops on the left and right wings shouted loudly, drew their sabers one after another, urged their horses to follow behind the Qing general, and rushed towards the Ming army's central army diagonally opposite.

During the gallop, the cavalry of the Qing army rushing to the front could already be seen, and obliquely opposite them, on the tall lookout car, a figure in Yinkai was already faintly visible.

That is Wang Yan, that is the Duke of Chu in the Ming Dynasty, that is the powerful enemy of the Qing Dynasty, the eyes of the 4 Qing soldiers are full of heat, as long as they break into the Ming army's middle army and cut off Wang Yan's head, they can use this feat in one fell swoop Fenghou! "The iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is invincible in the world~" The Qing soldiers' left and right armies, with a total of [-] horses, galloped forward. The two cavalry armies were like two big iron pincers of a crab, one on the left and the other on the right. army.The attack timing chosen by Luck Dehun was extremely fierce, because the left and right wings of the Ming army had already set up chariot formations, and they could not move within a short period of time, and the front army had already rushed out. In the formation, they directly took Wang Yanzhong's army.

The middle army of the Ming army looks over the chariot.When Du Yinxi saw that the Qing soldiers did not attack the two wings, but rushed towards the central army, his face immediately changed, and he was shocked: "Duke, what should we do? Break in everywhere and take the main line of our central army!"

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help squinting his eyes. He didn't expect Luck Dehun to be so cunning, but there was no change on his face, "Don't worry about blocking the platform. , then he will have no backup, and it will be easy to lose. In fact, this change in the Qing army coincides with the way the two dragons came out of the water. To break this formation, the governor only needs to block the door, wait until he is weak, and then cover up and kill him. But at this time, the former army was fighting with the green battalion, but they couldn't all retreat, and it might be difficult to block the door, so the governor simply blocked it while letting it go, and then closed the door and beat the dog."

The speed of the cavalry was so fast that Wang Yan didn't have time, so he gave Du Yinxi a detailed explanation, and immediately ordered: "Order the left and right armies to change their offensive and move closer to the central army, and order the front army to retreat and prepare to seal the door. Order the central army to line up Stand by the enemy and order the cavalry to counterattack and slow down their offensive."

Wang Yan gave orders one after another, and all kinds of colorful flags were waved upstairs. In the middle of the army, the drums were beating and the horns were ringing, and the entire Ming army immediately started to move again.

In the large formation of the Qing army, Tong Yanghe looked at the changes of the Ming army, and couldn't help being surprised: "The left and right wings move closer to the Chinese army, and the front army will retreat. Wang Yan is the cavalry who wants to swallow my Qing army." Ya~"

Seeing this, Le Kede frowned slightly, but still said with a sneer: "Hmph~ My Qing cavalry is invincible in the world, Wang Yan wants to eat it in one bite, because he doesn't have such good teeth! I am so handsome that I want to see it, Is it my Qing cavalry who pierced through his central army first, or he first exhausted my Qing soldiers in the formation~"
