Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 731 Decisive Battle on the Western Front VII

As soon as the two lines of rampaging cavalry came out of the formation, they raised their heads to meet the cavalry of the Qing army. The rampaging cavalry had no choice, and showed no sign of stopping, and rushed straight towards the opponent.

In an instant, the cavalry of the two armies collided with each other amidst the neighing of people and horses. A Qing cavalry was stabbed by a spear and flew up. He got out of the saddle and the horse continued to gallop. He stepped into a pulp.

A Ming soldier, brandishing a three-eyed blunderbuss, slammed heavily on the head of a passing Qing soldier. The horse led the Qing soldier to gallop for a few steps. The Qing soldier shook for a while and fell to the ground suddenly.

Ming Qi didn't have time to be pleasantly surprised. A Qing Qi collided with him. The huge impact caused the Ming and Qing troops to be thrown away by the horses at the same time. The horses also neighed and struggled. .

Ramping the horse army is equivalent to charging three formations in a row, but Qingqi has made a little reorganization and preparation.

This time hedging, the rampaging horse army passively responded to the battle, and did not get any benefits.

The two armies crossed each other amidst the blood mist, screams and shouts, and corpses everywhere.

In the middle of the Ming army, Wang Yan watched the battlefield, and ordered: "Send an order, the horse army rushing back to the two wings, the front army will fight to win the battalion, Zhongzhen will attack the tiger, and the tiger's wings will press forward."

The horse army ran through the enemy's formation, and the Qing army's original formation was not arranged properly. When they were disturbed by the cavalry, the situation became even more chaotic.

Wang Yan just wanted to make repeated moves so as not to give the Qing army a chance to rally.

Before the horses in the rampage could return to the formation, the trumpets and drums of the Ming army changed, and the red flag representing the former army on the hillside waved continuously, and the banner representing the third battalion was also pulled up by the soldiers, pointing obliquely forward.

After hearing the trumpets and drums, the horse army rushed to the two wings to seek shelter from the infantry in order to rest after hedging. Three times they charged a lot of energy.

At the same time, the Ming army in the front line raised the flag to show that they knew the general order of the Chinese army.

At this moment, the war drum of "dong dong dong" sounded rhythmically.

There are three battalions of soldiers, the Kesheng battalion is in the middle, and the two wings are protected by Hujie and Huyi.Among them, the Kesheng Battalion is full of musketeers, lined up horizontally, and Hujie and Huyi are mixed with swords, shields, spears, birds and guns.

Wang Yan didn't hesitate at all, nor was he willing to give the Qing army a chance to breathe. As soon as the Ma army finished charging, they overwhelmed the elite infantry.

"Kesheng camp!" Liu Wenxiu shouted, and in the horizontal formation, the drummers of the Kesheng camp beat their waist drums and gongs rhythmically. The battalion was as close as a wall.

"Tiger Jie! Kill!"

"Tiger Wing! Kill!"

On both sides of the Kesheng Battalion, Liu Tichun and Yang Yanchang roared at the same time, and the soldiers of the two battalions shouted in unison, "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

The sound merged, like a musical, the roar of the raging sea sounded in the front line, and accompanied by the drums of the Chinese army, more than [-] infantrymen pressed up.

Wang Yan shot again and again, hitting Bo Luo a bit wrongly, and he was not in a hurry. He saw that the cavalry of the Ming army had just retreated, and the infantry pressed up again, and he made it clear that he did not want him to successfully form the formation.

"My lord, let the cavalry charge towards the infantry that is advancing!" Tong Tulai couldn't calm down.If the infantry of the Ming army were posted up, and their former army array had not been restored, it might cause a rout.

"No, the cavalry has been exhausted after charging twice in a row. What if the cavalry went to charge the incoming infantry, and the Ming cavalry regrouped a little and came to charge my infantry again?" Jin Li immediately objected.

Bo Luo was having a headache for a while, and the two had their own reasons, but one thing was certain, before his formation was formed, the Ming army could no longer be allowed to rush into his infantry formation.

"Why don't you transfer the five thousand cavalry under the humble rank!" Shi Tingzhu suggested.

Bo Luo, Jin Li and the others shook their heads at the same time. They had just seen the strength of the Ming army's horse army. Zhenglan and Xianghong, who had many old bannermen, did not get any bargains. With Shi Tingzhu's five thousand cavalry strength, even You can't even play riding and shooting, and you can only get spit up when you go up.

And they also had the task of guarding the rear, in case Jin Shenghuan or the navy of the Ming army came ashore and chased them, and they flanked them with Wang Yan from behind, it would not be a big defeat.

Bo Luo glanced at the battlefield. The Ming army's horse army had retreated to the two wings and hid under the infantry on both sides, intending to regroup. Qingqi made a detour and chased after him. Lang Ji shoots back.

"Let the former army send out [-] infantry to meet them!" Boluo said with a fist.

All the Qing generals were shocked when they heard the words, Tong Tulai hurriedly said: "My lord, the formation has not yet formed, if we go up like this, I'm afraid we will be defeated!"

Bo Luo glared at him angrily, is this king a fool?This king doesn't know if the infantry formation failed?If it weren't for your mistake, I would have retreated to the Great Victory Pass early, and the high wall blocked the enemy, waiting for Prince Yu's soldiers to arrive, it would have been a great victory, but now it is like this.

Boluo didn't expect the Five Loyalty Army to be so strong, even stronger than the original battle in the river valley, which was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that the 7 army was not much different from Wang Yan, but he was very wrong.If Wang Yan's [-] people were the local town army, Boluo would not be so surprised, nor would he be so tired from fighting, but the Wuzhong army is a higher level than the town army, and the soldiers are all from the town army. In the middle selection, the combat strength is naturally far superior to that of the town army, so when they fought, Boluo was stunned.

Under the circumstances at this time, if he used cavalry to attack the Ming army that was rushing forward, the Ming army cavalry would definitely take a break and come to charge him again.

Even if the Qing cavalry crushed the third battalion of the Ming army, he would not be able to defend his formation, so how could he fight? He could only hope that the [-] infantry could resist for some time so that he could organize his formation.

In addition, he just took a look at the advancing troops of the Ming army, and he also had some doubts about Wang Yan's infantry. He didn't know why he placed nearly five thousand bird musketeers in the center and used them to attack.

This made him see an opportunity. Although his infantry didn't have a good formation, as long as they were pasted up for melee, couldn't they beat a group of gunners?

With a wave of Boluo's hand, Qiankun said arbitrarily: "Send the order, let the infantry attack, and the cavalry on both wings cooperate with cavalry and shooting."

Boluo said so, and the others had no objections, and the military order was immediately conveyed through flags and drums.

The officers in the front line of the Qing army were hastily ordering the soldiers to restore their formation, when they suddenly heard the trumpets and drums for the attack, the soldiers and officers couldn't believe it, and looked back one after another. Scattered attack.

However, these green battalion soldiers are all veterans of the battlefield. When they trotted away from the formation with their weapons in hand, under the shout of the officer, the spearmen and shield soldiers took the initiative to speed up and run forward, while the archers deliberately slowed down. While running, it is faster than arraying in place.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army had already begun to harass with their bows bent. The Hujie and Huyi battalions on the left and right flanks, and the soldiers of the Ming army hid behind the shields and spear formations and shot arrows, and fired back.

The distance between the two armies in the front was shortened to two hundred paces, the drums of the Ming army's main formation suddenly stopped, and the advancing Ming army also stopped their pace suddenly.

The soldiers of the Kesheng Battalion lined up like a wall all came to a standstill one after another.

"Rage to the crown!" Liu Wenxiu sang loudly, and the drummers and gong players in the row suddenly struck three times, "Boom, boom, boom."

When the soldiers of Kesheng Camp heard the sound, they lit the matchlocks one after another, and the first row of soldiers raised the Lumi blunderbuss.

At 150 steps, Liu Wenxiu sang again while pressing the knife, "Xiaoxiao Yuxiu", and the gongs and drums in the horizontal formation sounded "Boom Boom Boom" again.

And at the moment when the gongs and drums ended, a white smoke suddenly rose in front of the Kesheng camp, and amidst the roaring sound of the guns, more than 1000 lead bullets roared out of the smoke.
