Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 244 Shield Wall
Looking under the car, Tie Da Niu was wearing a six-petal iron helmet on his head, wearing a purple flower double-breasted armor, holding a hook and sickle gun, standing in front of a hundred Ming soldiers, looking very majestic.

He is also a hundred households now, and he is the general's pro-military hundred households, and he is no longer that silly hooker. The name Tie Daniu is too low-level, and he can no longer adapt to his current status.

The military academy in the Houyong Camp is all scholars brought out by Wang Yan from Hengyang. After meeting, they are all "Zhihu Zhe Ye, Xiongtai dear brother", and they all call each other by the word "Biao".

Because scholars lived a better life than him, Tie Daniu worshiped scholars since he was a child. When he was a child, he hooked pigweed for the squire's family, and he only earned a few coppers a day, but the scholar in the village gave lessons to the squire's boy. Well, at the end of the month there is still money to take, which makes him very envious.

Tie Daniu also wanted to eat and drink well every meal, so he vowed to be a scholar, so he went home and told his father Tie Erdan, but he was beaten violently, and then went on to hook pigweed to the squire's family.

After many years, although Tie Daniu still doesn't care about anyone, but the ideal in his heart is still there. He didn't dare to hope for it before, but now he is also an upright military officer of the sixth rank, so he must have a good name , You have to have a watch, and gradually become a decent person.

So Tie Daniu changed his name to Tie Wanyong, which means "unstoppable courage", and took the word "Zhongkang", which is a direct plagiarism of the name of Xu Chu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

Ever since he changed his name and adopted his nickname, Tie Daniu felt that he was much taller. Even if [-] Qing army cavalry rushed towards him, he did not feel timid at all, as if he had really become a fierce general who was the enemy of ten thousand people.

"Raise your shield!"

At this time, following Wang Yan's military order, the commander of the Houyong Battalion, Wang Ji, drew out his waist knife, pointed in the direction of the Qing cavalry's attack, and shouted loudly.

Teams of sword and shield players immediately stepped forward and assembled the shields in their hands into a shield wall.

"Raise the gun!" Wang Ji shouted again.

Teams of spearmen also stepped forward immediately, or put their spears on the shields, or inserted them between the gaps in the shields, making the defense line of the Ming army look like hedgehogs.

"Big Niu~" Wang Ji glanced at the Ming army in formation, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Tie Da Niu's troops hadn't moved, and he couldn't help saying angrily, "Silly, what are you doing there? Stab a spear~"

Tie Daniu was in a daze, but was brought back to his senses by Wang Ji's yelling. When he heard the people around him laughing, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and quickly led his subordinates to put the spear in his hand on the shield wall.

"General, don't call me such a big cow in the future, so and so is called Tie Wanyong now, you can also call me such a name, Zhongkang." Tie Daniu put the hook and sickle on the shield beside Wang Ji, and asked honestly.

"Zhongkang?" Wang Ji couldn't help squinting at him when he heard the words, "I didn't even dare to use the word Zhongkang, but you picked a good one. How about it, if you help the general defend the Chinese army today, you will be able to protect the army." I live in the public security, I will call you Tie Wanyong and Tie Zhongkang from now on, how about it?"

Tie Daniu was overjoyed when he heard the words, he spat on his hand, and then held the hook and sickle tightly in his hand, "Don't worry, general, take care, killing Qing soldiers is like cutting pigweed! "

Wang Ji didn't reply to him, but fixed his eyes on the battlefield, raised his sword and shouted: "Bend the bow! Lift up!"

At this time, on the battlefield, Yuan Zongdi's cavalry had already passed by the Qing soldiers. There were only more than 4000 cavalry left among the [-] knights, and a small half was lost at once. , but it also knocked down the indomitable momentum of the Eight Banners soldiers.

At this time, on the battlefield, forty thousand Mongolian iron cavalry rushed past Dai Zhifan and Yuan Zong's second Ming army, and finally rushed in front of the Ming army's middle army.

Among the cavalry of the Qing army, Beizi Aixinjueluo-Tunqi and Angbangzhang Jingtulai charged straight on their horses while brandishing their sabers, shouting loudly, "The Qing Dynasty is invincible."

Nearly [-] war horses were galloping on the battlefield, and their momentum was enough to shake the heavens and the earth. Seeing this, all the generals in the Ming army roared wildly: "Let go~"

The sky full of feathered arrows and the rain of bullets fired head-on immediately hit the Mongolian cavalry overwhelmingly. In addition, the left and right armies of the Ming army also completed their turn at this time, and began to close to the central army and placed them on the chariot The Franz machine also began to fire on the Qing cavalry.

When the Qing army was facing the arrow rain from the Chinese army, it also had to face the attack of firearms on both sides. Now that all [-] elite cavalry had entered the pocket formation, the Qing army could only go straight forward and penetrate the Ming army's central army. , to win.

"Boom~boom~"

A huge crash sounded on the battlefield, and the galloping cavalry of the Qing army finally collided with the shield wall of the Ming army after several rounds of arrow rain and bombardment by birds.

For a moment, the war horses whined, blood and flesh splattered, and the shield wall of the Ming army became distorted under the huge impact of the cavalry, and even some Ming soldiers were directly knocked out.

At this time, it has to be said that the resistance of the Ming army in the first two times undoubtedly provided great help to the current Chinese army. But the shield wall of the Ming army has never been broken through.

"Stab~" The spearmen of the Ming army behind the shield wall began to counterattack at this moment, and their long spears kept thrusting between the gaps in the shield wall, killing a large number of Qing soldiers who had lost their speed.

In the Qing army's main formation, Tong Yanghe couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw this scene. He quickly put down his binoculars and said to Luc Dehun: "Master Belle, it's too bad. The Ming army's formation is strong, and my Qing cavalry has lost its speed." , There is no way to break through the enemy's formation. The blood of the Mongolian warriors cannot be shed in vain, so hurry up and retreat!"

Lu Kede heard the words, and couldn't help but glared at him. Now that the most critical moment has come, how can he give up, and he really relies on it, and he hasn't appeared on the stage yet.

Seeing that Luck Dehun was unhappy, Tong Yanghe didn't dare to say more, but this battle really had too much to do with it. Luck Dehun was betting on the lives of [-] Manchurian cavalry that they could break through the middle of the Ming army. army, but if they fail to break through, all the [-] cavalry may be buried in the formation of the Ming army.

Tong Yanghe didn't have the guts to gamble with Luck Dehun. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he failed.Presumably the enraged regent, even if they executed them quickly, it was very possible, so he had to express his position: "Lord Belle, the pockets of the Ming army are about to close, there is still time to withdraw now~"

"Withdraw? How to withdraw?" Lu Kede heard the words, but became furious: "Thousands of people have died. If you let me withdraw, the blood of the Qing warriors will really be in vain. Today's battle , I, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, can only go forward indomitably, if there is anyone who dares to withdraw troops, I will personally kill them."

Just when Le Kede scolded Tong Yanghe angrily, there was a sudden change in favor of the Qing army on the battlefield. A Qing army, both men and horses in battle armor, suddenly bumped into the shield wall of the Ming army, and immediately defeated the Ming army. The army's shield was torn apart.

The light cavalry was fast, while the heavy cavalry was slow, so after the light cavalry collided for a while, Tulai led the heavy cavalry to rush forward.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, most of the heavy armored cavalry have been eliminated. The heavy armor of the Qing army in front of us is different from the iron pigeons and kidnappers in history. Although they wear armor, they are not iron armor but cotton armor, but even so, they are enough to tear apart shield formation.

On the watch chariot, Wang Yan and Du Yinxi saw at the same time that the Ming army was knocked away by the Qing army cavalry, and the Qing army cavalry rushed into the gap and pushed directly fifty steps below the watch chariot, only to be shot by an envoy with a hook and sickle. Hundreds of households of the Ming army led nearly a hundred soldiers to block them, and their expressions changed drastically.
