Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 486 Breaking the formation to save people (2) (two more)

On the day of breaking the formation, of course Zhu Yousong will not be idle in the camp, although he may not necessarily need to charge forward to break the formation to save people, but he is not at ease.

This battle is also very crucial to Zhu Yousong, not to mention the lives of thousands of soldiers, the morale of the Ming army, and Xiao Liu's wealth and life, and if he loses, he has to follow the prior agreement to send Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai gave it to Li Zicheng.

Life is no child's play, success or failure has serious consequences!
Therefore, even though Zhu Yousong was talking and laughing on the surface as if nothing had happened, he was not without pressure in his heart, and he was sweating for the soldiers under him.

Zhu Yousong brought Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Huimei, Huiying, Zhang Nai, Li Quan and other generals to the small high slope where they watched the battle a few days ago.

In addition to these generals, Zhao Fu led the Musketeer Battalion, five hundred fusiliers were ready to escort them, and there were also a group of brocade-clothed guards.

At this time, there were 3000 soldiers of the Ming army gathered on and around Xiaogaopo. Of course, these 3000 soldiers were not here to break the formation, but to accompany their majesty to watch the battle. The main task was to ensure the safety of their majesty.

Knowing that Zhu Yousong was coming to break the formation today, the smug Niu Jinxing ordered his 3 troops to spend the battle meal early. At dawn, they were near the Dashun Army Company Battalion, and on the bank of the Yellow River. Formation, waiting for the Ming army to attack.

Today he wants to prove the strength of this large formation with practical actions, so that Li Zicheng can rest assured and Song Xiance can shut up. Niu Jinxing was so angry that he went back to the camp last night to drink Alcohol, humming angrily for a while before falling asleep, got up from the bed early this morning, but still full of energy, he held his breath for himself.

Since the death of that hateful Li Yan, something happened to Liu Zongmin again.Niu Jinxing was happy from the bottom of his heart, thinking that in the Dashun barracks, Li Zicheng was the boss, and Niu Jinxing was the second. No one would dare to oppose him anymore, and no one had the strength.

But now this Song Xiance made him unhappy again, how could he bear it?

If he wins this battle, he will have to find a way to deal with this dwarf Song later!
Niu Jinxing held back his strength and entered the formation.

With Niu Jinxing personally serving as the town and commanding at the formation gate, none of the [-] soldiers of the Dashun Army who formed the formation dared to slack off in the slightest.

They all know now that their Tianyouge University scholar is very happy and jealous. If someone messes up today, the consequences will be unimaginable. In addition, they also hope to wipe out more Ming troops with this formation. A soldier's wish.

In the morning of May, the sun was already as high as a tree.

Du Yinxi, Zuo Shilang of the Ming army, led [-] recruits out of the Ming army camp and marched towards the formation.

A distance of less than [-] miles is certainly not a distance for tens of thousands of horses.As soon as the back team left the camp, the striker had already seen the formation.

Today's weather is still very suitable for fighting. The sky is clear and there is a slight river breeze, which makes the weather in this early summer neither cold nor hot.

At this time, Zhu Yousong was only about five miles away from the big town. He immediately stood on the high slope and could see clearly.

Du Yinxi ordered the first echelon to start attacking the formation.

The first attacking camp, composed of [-] new recruits, waved their flags and shouted, and rushed towards the big formation with a shocking momentum.

Within the range of the bow and arrow, the archers in the formation began to shoot arrows at the Ming army.

The arrows are like rain, covering the sky and the sun.Fortunately, the Ming army was well prepared, because it was a feint attack, and they screamed fiercely. When they saw the Dashun army shooting arrows at them, these Ming troops came and ran quickly, so they retreated quickly.

Therefore, the first echelon of the Ming army retreated before the rain of arrows shot down a few people.

The Dashun Army had to stop shooting arrows, and then the second echelon of the Ming Army began to attack again.

This team is also 5000 people, led by a deputy commander in person, who is as fierce as last time, but when the Dashun army in the formation starts to shoot arrows, the 5000 people can run faster than rabbits, this time one The Ming army did not shoot down, and lost some bows and arrows in vain.

"You are too cunning!" Niu Jinxing realized that the Ming army was playing tricks on him, so he not only cursed.

In fact, the archers in the formation are all decorations or decoys. If the Ming army sincerely attacks the formation, these archers will flee in all directions, creating an illusion for the Ming army and letting them attack with all their strength. After some of them enter the formation, his large formation can truly exert its power.

However, the Ming army only bluffed at the entrance of the formation, but didn't go deep, so his bait became a decoration. How could fish catch fish without biting the bait?
No wonder Niu Jinxing scolded.

In this way, the Ming army launched a total of three rounds of attacks, all of which made the archers in the formation lose their temper.

If you don't shoot your bow and arrows, you are afraid that the Ming army will really rush in, and they will be caught off guard, and the role of bait will be different.They had no choice but to shoot arrows, but they couldn't hit them. It was really embarrassing to waste their energy and bows and arrows in vain.

Later, Niu Jinxing had no choice but to send an order to wait until the Ming army really broke into the formation before shooting arrows.

But under the command of Du Yinxi, there were five groups of Ming troops who were in charge of the feint attack, and they came over in turn to shout and make trouble, but they didn't really rush into the big formation.

Niu Jinxing ordered the soldiers in the formation to ignore them. They shouted and shouted as they liked, tossed and tossed as much as they liked, and as long as they didn't really enter the formation, they would not shoot their bows or arrows.

Niu Jinxing is still proud, you like to toss like this, so toss it?Let's see how you broke the formation today, you are the one who is tired, we will just watch you laugh like this, if you can't break the formation today, Zhu Yousong will have to admit defeat, and whoever loses will have to act according to the terms negotiated beforehand.

Therefore, Niu Jinxing and the soldiers in the [-] formations all held such an attitude, wasting time with the Ming army.

At this time, none of Dashun's troops paid attention to what happened in the Yellow River behind.

They only knew that Zhu Yousong's naval warship was [-] miles away. According to Ma Lai's report this morning, there was no movement from the Ming army's navy, and the other side of the Yellow River was the sphere of influence of the Dashun army.

So they don't have to worry about the rear at all.But if the Ming army really came to attack, the 3 horses had no way out. If they wanted to be killed or driven into the Yellow River, they had to spare no effort to defend the Queyue formation and fight to the death with the Ming army.

The Dashun army in the formation and the Ming army feinting outside the formation were so exhausted.

Zhu Yousong watched from the high slope and smiled. At this time, Li Zicheng was in the camp of the Dashun Army, and of course he was not idle. He and Song Xiance were also always paying attention to the situation of the Ming army breaking the formation.

Although they were not on the spot, there were scouts who reported to them in time. They did not leave the camp and kept abreast of the situation on the battlefield.

Li Zicheng's plan was that when the Ming army broke through with all its strength, he asked Song Xiance to lead his troops to defend the company battalion. He personally prepared 3000 elite troops, including [-] red-clothed cannons, and he personally led the team. The goal is not The camp of the Ming army was Zhu Yousong who was watching the battle on the small high slope.Because he has now found out that Zhu Yousong on the small high slope is escorted by only [-] people.

At that time, Zhu Yousong's men and horses, no matter whether they can break through the formation or not, he will wipe out Zhu Yousong and his escorting men and horses in one fell swoop.

However, now the Ming army has been feinting to attack the large formation. Li Zicheng and Song Xiance have already seen this. It is obvious that the Ming army is killing time and waiting for an opportunity.

There are two kinds of opportunities at this time. The first is to wear down the morale of the soldiers in the formation and let them attack suddenly when they are tired.

The second is to wait for reinforcements. At present, it seems that the first possibility is more likely, because they have already found out that there is no reinforcement from the Ming army within a radius of tens of miles.

The Ming army did not really attack the large formation, so of course Li Zicheng did not dare to act rashly at this time.

Zhu Yousong watched the scene happily on the high slope. After watching it tired, he looked up at the sky again. Feeling that the time was almost up, he turned his gaze to the Yellow River in the distance...
