Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 117 Meeting Teachers ([-])

For a moment, the members of the advance team panicked. They usually fought against the defenders of the Tartars. How had they ever seen such fierce Tartars?Fortunately, after all, this advance team is a team that Chen Chen has painstakingly managed for three years, and it can be regarded as experienced in hundreds of battles.Under the pressure of the officers at all levels, the restless thoughts suddenly dissipated.The regiments in the back row took away the fallen corpses in the front row, and then filled them up, ensuring the integrity of the queue.

After a shower of arrows, the Tartar cavalry came back again, and then another rain of arrows came.This feeling of being suppressed and unable to beat made all the group members feel unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.Although there were some muskets in the advance team, the old-fashioned matchlock guns captured were almost useless in the face of cavalry who came and went like the wind and shot arrows from afar, so it was better to save them for infantry duels.

These two attacks by the cavalry made all the regiment members feel angry, and a wave of anger was suppressed in their hearts.

Sometimes morale is really a strange thing. When being suppressed and beaten, some people's morale will be greatly reduced, and the army has no fighting spirit; while some become angry and show higher fighting power.The reason for this is actually to see the psychology of the soldiers, to see if they have a heart to strengthen the army.The advance team is the most powerful army selected from the first battalion, and it can be considered arrogant in the first battalion on weekdays.If the news about him being suppressed and beaten spread to the other brigades, he would probably be laughed to death by those people.That's why the members of the advance team suppressed their anger and prepared to make these Tartars, who only know how to ride horses and shoot arrows, look good when they were about to make contact with them.

This is the role of team cohesion. A team has been formed for a long time, and under strict training and ideological control, as well as healthy competition between departments, it will gradually have cohesion.The first battalion was cohesive, but the battalions at the headquarters of the security regiment were not, because they had been formed for too short a time.

However, this casualty ratio cannot be too large, otherwise it will still collapse.It is so strange on the battlefield. Maybe because one person dropped his weapon and turned to flee, the entire army was defeated, or maybe because one person was killed, the same enemy was united.Therefore, no army can say that it can absolutely win before the battle. So many classic battles in ancient times where the weak defeated the strong proved this.

Finally the Tartar infantry confronted the advance team.First, a group of Tartar musketeers fired projectiles, which hit the wooden shield covered with wet quilts, and the bullets were blocked.Then came another rain of arrows, shot from the step bow.

At this time, arrows like locusts also flew out of the advance team, and dozens of unarmored soldiers were shot and fell to the ground by surprise, wailing.

After several rounds of shooting each other with bows and arrows, the Tartars gradually gained the upper hand.Firstly, the Tartar archers are skilled, and secondly, there are so many Tartar archers, which is unmatched by the advance team.The Tartars won the world by riding and archery, so they naturally paid attention to this aspect, but it took several years to train a qualified archer.Therefore, on the side of the security team, the emphasis is on exchanging quantity for quality.Since the accuracy is not good, it is necessary to cover a larger area to improve the accuracy.

It is a pity that the number is not as good as the enemy now, so the failure of the bow and arrow battle is inevitable.

After suppressing the archers of the advance team, hand-to-hand combat began.

First, the wooden shield was hacked or squeezed by the Tartars.After a while, these wooden shields were overturned and shattered, and the two sides began a hand-to-hand combat.

The flashes of swords and swords, the sound of axes, the spears like forests, and the arrows like locusts.Personal combat skills are no longer important, what is important is the fighting spirit that is not afraid of death, and what is important is the integrity of the front.

"The first row of straight stabs!"

"Right stab in the second row!"

The squad leader and the squadron leaders shouted at the top of their lungs.Listening to the familiar voice, the body seemed to have inertia, and it mechanically made the movements that it had done countless times in the weekdays.

The sound of puff puff puff kept ringing.But the enemies seem to be endless, killing them endlessly.

The heavy weapons were constantly being swung, and the muscles gradually became a little sore, but the surge of adrenaline made everyone feel less tired, and fell into a frenzied feast of fighting.

The roaring, screaming, and the clashing of weapons all made people's head buzzing, almost deaf.

The Tartars are elite soldiers in all battles, and the advance team is the elite selected from the first battalion.The Tartars have rich combat experience, and they are all the elite of the Ming army millions of years ago, and the advance team has good discipline and training.Although due to the lack of supplies, we can only focus on queue training, but the queue is very important in war. Once the formation is arranged, the rest is to pick up the spear and stab it fiercely.

The great reputation of the Tartars did not deter the advance team, and these suffocating regiments actually reached a stalemate with the Tartars.Every second, many Tartars and regiments fell, and the number of casualties soared sharply.

All this surprised Kong Youde, who was supervising the battle in the rear.I thought that the gangsters could only defend the city, but unexpectedly they could go out of the city to fight in the field.The degree of danger of the security team increased in Kong Youde's mind.

Fortunately, these group bandits fought rigidly, and they did not care about casualties when they fought. In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of bandits fell down.If I fought like this, I am afraid that my subordinates would have been wiped out long ago.

Thinking of this, Kong Youde felt better.However, he is not willing to trade his life for his life to spend with the gangsters.The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in one's own headquarters are important, even the soldiers from the Green Battalion are not comparable to the mere regiment bandits.It's not worth spending these elite soldiers on bandits.

Kong Youde gave the order, the flag behind him waved, and the cavalry who stopped not far away began to charge towards the advance team.The speed is getting faster and faster, and the distance is getting closer and closer, as if it doesn't seem like they are going to pass by.

At this time, the grassroots officers of the advance team noticed something was wrong.

"Quick, quick, the third squadron of the first brigade, turn right!"

"Second Brigade, Fifth Squadron, turn right!"

"The Second Squadron of the Third Brigade, turn right!"

It's just that the battlefield is noisy, and many regiment members can't hear the order.Even after hearing the command, it was too late to turn to the formation.For a while, many regiment members were at a loss.The thousands of cavalry who watched the Tartars rushed towards them like devils carrying dust all over the sky.

There is no shield in front, only a spear in hand, and the battle formation will be made of flesh and blood to form a defense line.

Fortunately, the ridge ditches in the fields formed a natural line of defense.From time to time, cavalrymen stumbled in front of their horses, causing slight disturbances.

The archers of the advance team also turned around and shot bows and arrows at the cavalry, and the musketeers who had been staying now couldn't care less about hiding, and lit the fuses one after another.It's just that the cavalry rushed too fast, the musketeers only shot one shot, and the archers shot two arrows.The Tartar cavalry rushed into the line of defense.

The impact of ancient cavalry on infantry is like the impact of modern tanks on infantry.As soon as the Tartar cavalry rushed into the front line, they were like wolves into a herd of sheep. The saber in their hand relied on the inertia of the horses to cut across the necks of the regiments, leaving behind gushing blood.

There are also Shichang who use Benshi as a unit, and use their spears to withstand the impact of the horses.As a result, people turned on their backs, spears broke, and Tuan Ding was injured by the huge impact and vomited blood.

Only a few cavalry were blocked, and most of them were still in the advance team battle formation.The three brigades fell into separate battles, fighting each other with squadrons or even squadrons as the basic unit.Although the resistance is still tenacious, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the defeat is doomed.

Chen Chen was trapped in the center, surrounded by chaotic regiments. Although Chen Chen was about to burst into tears, there was nothing he could do.

"Failed!"

"Failed!"

"Run away!"

Someone yelled, and the tense nerves of the regiment members who were struggling to hold on instantly relaxed, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts instantly, and they all turned around and fled.

In this way, the advance team lost.
