Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 476 The Battle of Yuanwu (3)

Zhu Yousong's intentional formation is that the old army of the Ming Dynasty is on the two wings, and his trump card division and recruits are in the middle.

If it is divided into the following ranks according to combat power, the 15 Ming troops brought by Zhu Yousong, these old Ming troops are undoubtedly the worst in combat power, but they have the largest number of people, ranking on the two wings.

The strongest fighting force is his imperial guards, with a total of about 1 horses.The combat power between these two teams is the newly recruited [-] recruits.

The two teams that Li Zicheng dispatched were both elite divisions of the Dashun Army. The two teams combined totaled nearly [-] troops. The Shun army was so scattered and fled that they were defeated.

Li Zicheng looked proud on the high slope, and Zhu Yousong's men were no more than that. It seems that I overestimated him.

Li Zicheng was so happy that he ordered the main force of his Chinese army to attack, intending to wipe out Zhu Yousong's troops in one fell swoop.

The main force of Li Zicheng's Chinese army totaled [-], led by three generals, namely Hao Yaoqi, Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi.

The three generals saw that Li Guo and Liu Fangliang had enjoyed killing so much, their palms were itching for a long time. After the order was obtained, the three horses took the lead, followed by the [-] Dashun army, with cavalry in front and infantry in the back, like overwhelming mountains and seas. Come to the middle camp of the Ming army.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the ground trembles when they step on it.

Faced with such a situation, recruits who have never been on the battlefield can easily collapse psychologically.Fortunately, Zhu Yousong ranked [-] new recruits in the middle. This is to train them and let the veterans set an example for them.

However, the Ming army on both wings was defeated by the impact of the Dashun army.

"Your Majesty, let's shoot the arrow."

There are two main generals in the central army, the one-eyed general Ma Wannian and the young general Zhang Huan. If we don't charge and the enemy rushes over, we have to take a defensive position. Now the troops on the two wings have been defeated, and the morale of the army has begun to fluctuate. Let them like this Rushing to the front is undoubtedly a tendency to be passively beaten.

But seeing that Zhu Yousong was still indifferent, the Dashun army had already entered the range of the bow and arrow, and the second general couldn't wait.

But Zhu Yousong is still not in a hurry, he looks calm and calm, he has already cultivated the psychological quality of not being surprised before the collapse of Mount Tai, what he needs to master is the heat.

With such a formation, he had already expected such a result, that is to say, the defeat in the first battle was within his expectations.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, on such a large battlefield, the focus at this time is of course the result of the war, not the process.

Zhu Yousong stared at the main force of Li Zicheng's Chinese army who rushed over.

About 100 meters!

……

50 meters!
……

30 meters!
……

When the Dashun Army was about 20 meters away from them, Zhu Yousong finally issued an order: "Propagate my will, the imperial cavalry and the Zhongzhen Battalion attack!"

"Brothers in the imperial camp, rush for me!"

"Brothers of the Loyalty Battalion, kill!"

Zhang Huan and Ma Wannian have been suppressed for too long. One order fell like a mountain. The 6000 imperial cavalry and [-] white soldiers couldn't wait. greeted the past.

Because the distance between the two sides was too close, the imperial cavalry did not shoot arrows, but directly mounted spears. Each of them held a spear nearly two feet long, forming two invincible gun walls.

Their charge and formation are different, they are always lined up neatly, whether they are charging or retreating, they are not in disorder, and the horses are specially trained to be as fast as possible.

But the white soldiers of the Three Thousand Loyalty Battalion are different. Each of them holds a special white gun, with a hook and sickle gun in the front and a gun ring in the back. These little men in Sichuan fight fiercely like tiger cubs. .

In the blink of an eye, the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Thousands of uniformed spears from the Imperial Battalion Cavalry of the Ming Army stabbed forward fiercely with the momentum of their horses. With one shot, they could penetrate two generals of the Dashun Army, or even more.

Thousands of war horses lined up in a row, and as soon as they rushed forward, a group of the Dashun army fell. The iron cavalry of the Ming army was like an invincible chariot, advancing as a whole, reaping the lives of the Dashun army.

"Brothers, our Loyalty Battalion must not lag behind the Iron Cavalry Battalion!" The one-eyed general Ma Wannian yelled and knocked a general of the Dashun Army off his horse.

Three thousand white soldiers and the imperial cavalry charged at the same time. These young men from Shizhu, Sichuan, had reached a tacit understanding in fighting side by side with the imperial cavalry for more than a year.

Seeing how brave the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion were, and the leader Ma Wannian took the lead in the charge, these young men showed their usual fighting strength. If you poke the hook and sickle forward in your hand, it will be a bloody alley, and then pull it back , the enemy's head will drop.

The Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Zhongzhen Battalion echoed each other from a distance, and Li Zicheng's [-] main force of the Chinese army was blocked from charging.

But the Dashun Army was also well-trained, and all of them were brave and fearless. One group fell, and another group rushed up.

Although the charge was blocked and the casualties were heavy, their formation was not chaotic. None of the soldiers retreated, nor did they run away in all directions. He flew, but his body still fell forward.

The three generals of the Dashun Army saw that the casualties were too heavy, and all three generals were killed. The big iron gun in Hao Yaoqi's hand was whistling in the wind, and he moved forward along the pistol to block the stick. The stabbing is like Chuanshanlihong, one round to the left and right, and the Ming army fell down with their men and horses.

Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi's two big sabers were not vegetarians, and the two generals rushed to greet the soldiers of the Ming army like clouds, killing the soldiers of the Ming army with blood flying and heads rolling.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than 20 warriors killed by the Ming army's imperial cavalry and the Zhongzhen camp's white soldiers who died under their guns and knives.

However, the iron cavalry of the Ming army and the soldiers of the Zhongzhen Battalion were even more brave, making up for every death, and still maintaining the charge formation.

Zhang Huan and Ma Wannian saw that the general of Sanyuan Dashun Army had killed so many of his subordinates, their eyes were red.

Zhang Huan slashed a Dashun general with a knife, freed his hand, drew his bow and set up an arrow and raised his hand, the arrow shot out with a whoosh.

The Spike arrow shot out through the air and hit Hao Yaoqi's left rib.The arrow of the Spike Arrow was a three-lens piercing armor cone, piercing through the armor, splashing blood, Hao Yaoqi screamed, fell off the horse, and dropped the big iron gun in his hand.

Zhang Huan looked at the general who had shot the enemy, put away his bow and arrow, took off his sword and urged his horse to rush over to Hao Yaoqi who was on the ground.

Hao Yaoqi suddenly rolled far away, and miraculously stood up from the ground again with his whole body. This guy was also big, full of fat, and his armor was like a smoky Tai Sui and a burning King Kong.

Don't look at the arrows stuck in his body, he just pretended to be dead, Zhang Huan's knife was empty, and before Zhang Huan could close the knife, Hao Yaoqi, covered in blood, rushed over, yelling, "Little bastard, how can you kill me?" If you dare to shoot me, I will chop you off!"

Grabbing Zhang Huan's ankle, he pulled Zhang Huan off the horse...
