The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

It is obvious that letting Lin Tianshuai hold the rear and act as a reserve is to prevent Lin Tianshuai from stealing the credit.

In terms of being prominent on the battlefield, Lin Tianshuai's reputation is too loud, and the generals have to be on guard.

But Ma Gui and Xuan Dazhong dared to play such tricks with Lin Tianshuai, of course, they were "fearless".

Because Ma Gui knew very well that Lin Tianshuai's obsession now was only to attack the city first.

Lin Tianshuai was not so interested in occasions such as large-scale field battles where it was difficult to show personal heroism.

No matter how hard the field battle was fought, there would not be a "first landing", so Lin Tianshuai, who had no shortage of military merits, would not be angry if he asked Lin Tianshuai to give way.

Two days later, the two sides confronting each other on the Taihe River started to fight. Oh no, it was to start fighting. The Japanese army, which controlled the "water", crossed the river first.

Besides, Daoshan Castle was on the north bank. If you want to rescue Daoshan Castle, it is impossible not to cross the river.

Lin Tianshuai had entrusted the command of the battle to Ma Gui. After finishing his meal early in the morning, he could only watch Ma Gui organize the troops and their formations like a spectator.

Then he watched the teams enter the designated positions one by one, anyway, they were all in front of him, Lin Tianshuai.

In the long-term security war with the Northern Tartars, the Ming army had become accustomed to the use of vehicles.

Chariots can not only transport heavy weapons flexibly, but also serve as temporary obstacles to resist the Northern Tartar cavalry. They are an indispensable and important tool for marching and fighting.

So Lin Tianshuai saw from behind that countless chariots were deployed in front of the wide battlefield, one after another, forming several large circles.

This was the habitual position operation of the Ming army after fighting the Northern Tartar cavalry for a long time.

Then the army unloaded a large number of small artillery from the vehicles, and carried out debugging and preparation for firing.

There were three routes on the left, middle and right, each of which had such a front composed of chariots and small artillery.

After the Japanese army on the opposite side entered the range, the drums sounded one after another, and then the government troops began to ignite and fire.

No matter how small the small artillery is, its range is farther than that of the fire gun. The "iron cannon" in the hands of the Japanese army can cause effective damage at most twenty feet, and it is definitely not enough to reach the Ming government army at this time.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the Japanese army's lineup became chaotic. At this time, the cavalry ready to go on both sides of the chariot and artillery positions began to charge in a roundabout way.

The first three rows of Japanese soldiers, "iron cannon foot soldiers", or fire gunners, hurriedly began to prepare for shooting.

Under normal circumstances, the Japanese soldiers fired at most three rounds, and the cavalry of the Ming government army would rush in front of them.

Then the Ming cavalry would use their flexible mobility to slash or shoot arrows back and forth at the first few rows.

Usually, as long as the first few rows of elite warriors were defeated, the Japanese army would begin to collapse, and the Japanese soldiers behind would definitely be the first to flee.

If the Japanese army was not impressed for a while, the Ming cavalry would withdraw and use artillery to bombard the Japanese army for a few rounds.

This was the routine of the Ming army and the Japanese soldiers in the field. The Japanese soldiers were basically defeated from weapons to tactics.

Therefore, unless they had to, the Japanese soldiers would try their best to avoid fighting with the Ming army in the field.

Although the scene was relatively large today and the battlefield was divided into several parts, each part was basically the same.

Lin Tailai, the general and captain of the general reserve, led more than a thousand personal soldiers to watch the excitement from behind.

For safety, Lin Tianshuai put on the heavy armor weighing more than 80 kilograms. However, in order to save physical strength, Lin Tianshuai did not walk back and forth.

Everything seemed normal. The Japanese army formation was constantly retreating due to the Ming cavalry, and there were signs of collapse.

Because the number of Ming army was relatively small, in order to achieve a rout effect as soon as possible, Ma Gui commanded the cavalry to concentrate on attacking the Japanese pirates' central army.

As if it had suddenly reached a critical point, the Japanese pirates' central army could no longer hold on and began to retreat in a large scale, and the Japanese pirates' left wing also began to retreat in a large scale.

Are the Japanese pirates going to collapse across the board? Ma Gui suddenly became excited and personally pressed forward with his servants!

After winning today, he, Ma Gui, is also a famous general who can defeat the enemy with fewer troops in foreign wars! What Li Rusong can do, he, Ma Gui, can do too!

Unknowingly, the Ming army leaned towards the center and left wing of the Japanese pirates.

This is the principle of taking advantage of his weakness to kill him! After completely destroying the center and left wing of the Japanese pirates, the right wing will naturally be alone.

The thousands of infantrymen who fell behind were preparing to march in formation under the command of their respective captains and battalions, trying their best to keep up with the cavalry.

Dayun, an officer in the Jinglüe Biao camp, asked Lin Tianshuai what to do now?

Lin Tailai, who never seeks credit, instructed: "Although the situation is good, we are the reserve team today, don't move!"

Da Yun smiled and said: "The Marshal is kind-hearted, and today we must do good things to the end."

As he spoke, Dayun suddenly closed his mouth and looked towards the southeast in confusion.

Seeing this, Lin Tianshuai also turned his head and saw a touch of red at the edge of his vision, moving quickly towards this side.

Others were still wondering what this red was, but Lin Tianshuai reacted quickly and shouted: "Red preparation! The Japanese pirates' red preparation cavalry!"

Why is it called "Red Preparation"? It means that all the places that can be painted, including people and horses, are painted red.

There was a little commotion among the thousands of rear infantrymen who were lining up, and Lin Tailai shouted again: "Retreat! Use the car as a base and form a defensive formation!"

Then he ordered Dayun: "All of you get on the horse, and raise all my general flags, be sure to be eye-catching!"

Lin Tianshuai's more than 1,000 guards of the standard camp are all cavalry. If they mount their horses and raise their flags, they will be very eye-catching among the infantry in the rear.

Da Yun wanted to persuade him, but Lin Tianshuai said without question: "We just need to give the Japanese pirates a target and let them rush to me! Buy time for others!"

It must be said that thanks to years of fighting the security war with the northern barbarians, the Ming official army has extremely rich experience in dealing with the sudden attack of enemy cavalry.

After Lin Tianshuai shouted a few times, the infantry in the rear who were left behind immediately retreated to the position surrounded by chariots and began to prepare for defense in a hurry.

Although it is not possible to be strict in a hurry, as long as a large number of vehicles are placed here, it will be a huge obstacle to the cavalry.

Lin Tianshuai also temporarily retreated to the chariot formation, looked at the more than 80 kilograms of heavy armor on his body, and looked at the guards around him, and still felt quite safe.

Among the more than 1,000 standard camp guards, except for the 300 family servants brought from Suzhou for training, whose combat effectiveness may be average, the remaining thousand or so people are all selected elite soldiers.

After more than a dozen flags were raised as a ceremonial guard, the vanguard of the Japanese army rushed over here.

Everyone knows that the leader should be captured first. Since the flag is here, they will definitely rush over here first.

When the red Japanese cavalry got closer, Lin Tianshuai, who was standing behind the chariot formation, reached out and picked up the spear, but gave up the idea of ​​getting on the horse.

Because the height of the Japanese knights, including the people and horses, was about the same as his own height, he felt that it might be more flexible to fight on foot.
