Chapter 505: Line Infantry


The hollow array of the Ming army consisted of a number of "pin" word arrays, and these "pin" word arrays, or "mouth" word arrays, were spread flat on the wilderness, forming a huge labyrinth.After the Qing cavalry rushed into the gap of the hollow phalanx, the guns on all sides of the phalanx fired a volley, and the Qing army galloping in the gap was immediately flanked by at least two muskets.After a burst of gunfire, the passage was full of corpses of Qing soldiers and screaming war horses.Jin Yuhe was horrified, but he was lucky not to be shot by the musket.At this time, he looked up and saw that in the hollow formations of the Ming army on both sides, the soldiers who had shot a shot raised their guns and retreated, and the musketeers in the back row stepped forward with their guns raised, and they were about to shoot again, and they couldn't help but be stunned.At this time, the Qing cavalry that came like a tide was unwilling to ram, and the sharp spears on the front of the phalanx, the cavalry bypassed the spearmen in the front, and were divided into two strands by the hollow phalanx, pouring into the left and right wings of the phalanx.Jin Yuhe led one of them, and the cavalry rushed in, very dense, equivalent to the target of the Ming army's musketeers, and he couldn't help but be very anxious when he saw the Ming army in the hollow array about to shoot again.However, it was difficult for the cavalry to turn around in a roundabout way in the passage between the two hollow phalanxes, and the continuous influx of cavalry in the rear blocked his back road, Jin Yuhe could only grit his teeth and continue to charge, intending to pass through the hollow formation of the Ming army as soon as possible.Jin Yu and his horse galloped, just passing through the gap between the two hollow phalanxes, thinking that the Ming army formation was prominent, but suddenly another Ming army formation appeared in front of him, blocking his way out."

Bang bang bang" A burst of muskets rang out, and the Ming musketeers standing behind the spearmen pulled the trigger in unison, and another volley of guns was fired.Jin Yu and the cavalry in front of him suddenly neighed, and fell off their horses one after another, and the cavalry who were not shot down continued to rush forward, and at this moment, the Ming army in the hollow array threw a thunder hand and threw a few grenades.With a few loud bangs, a cloud of white light erupted, and the cavalry and war horses were directly overturned by the explosion, and the front of the hollow formation was filled with smoke, and the cavalry suffered heavy casualties.Jin Yuhe's face was stunned, and his heart was extremely frightened, he had long forgotten the mission of crushing the flank of the Ming army.At this time, the various hollow phalanxes of the Ming army, after several rounds of salvos, the musketeers began to fire freely, and in the passages on all sides of the phalanx, the galloping Qing cavalry was continuously shot off their horses, and the corpses of the fallen Qing soldiers were everywhere in the passages on all sides."

Quick!

Rush out!

”Jin Yuhe saw the Qing cavalry that crashed into the front of the phalanx, and most of them were shot and killed, and hurriedly roared.At this time, through the smoke, he saw the white light and the rising gunsmoke, and behind it was a row of spears, the sharp spear heads stabbed obliquely, and behind the spears, there were muskets spraying orange-red spear flames and gunsmoke.In an instant, the Qing cavalry was diverted again and entered the gap between the two hollow phalanxes.After the cavalry of the Qing army entered the battle, they continued to diverge, one by one, as if they had entered a labyrinth, galloping in the hollow phalanx.At this time, there was another deafening volley of guns, and the cavalry, galloping like headless flies in the formation, suffered heavy casualties again.The cavalry of the Qing army began to enter the battle, galloping in the passages, and were used as targets by the Ming musketeers on both sides of the passages, and half of the 8,000 cavalry were shot dead in a moment.Jin Yuhe was frightened, and after entering the formation, there was no turning back, he could only continue to move forward.Amid the sound of muskets and cannons around him, Jin Yuhe tried to calm his mind, and every time he ran into the hollow phalanx, he pulled the reins of his horse to the right, and after bypassing several hollow arrays in succession, an open area finally appeared in front of him."

Rush out!"

For a while, Jin Yuhe was almost about to cry, he hurriedly urged his horses, rushed out of the formation, and ran into the open area, and the four thousand cavalry he led, after several diversions, plus being shot by muskets, only less than a few hundred horsemen were still following behind.On the other side, the 4,000 cavalry led by Ren Zhen was even more miserable, as soon as he entered the battle, the main general Ren Zhen was hit by a musket, fell off his horse, and was trampled into a pile of mud by the cavalry.At this time, cavalry rushed out one after another from the bottom of the other "pin" shapes and the gaps in the two waists in the hollow array, and four thousand horsemen entered the formation, less than half of them rushed out, and they were completely dispersed.Under the banner of the Qing army, Hong Chengchou's jaw dropped in shock, but he didn't expect the eight thousand cavalry to go in, and when they came out, there was actually more than half of them.At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army that rushed out were all in disarray, most of them were wounded, and they all had palpitations, and they didn't know what to do.At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Jin Yuhe hurriedly turned his head to look, but found that the Ming cavalry who had just taken the initiative to get out of the way of the flank was actually roaring towards them at this time.The cavalry of the Ming army roared this storm, and the cavalry did not form a sharp array, but divided into three waves, formed a dense line, and pushed towards the Qing cavalry.Seeing this, Jin Yuhe hurriedly roared, then pulled his horse and fled south, and the Qing cavalry behind him hurriedly pulled out his horse and followed, and some of the Qing cavalry who had just rushed out of the formation and did not have time to retreat were immediately rushed by the Ming cavalry.For a time, the 8,000 cavalry of the Qing Army, which rushed towards the Ming army with momentum, lost more than half of it in a very short time and scattered to the south.Under the banner of the Qing army, Hong Chengchou's eyes bulged, and he didn't expect this to be the result at all.At this time, under the banner of the Ming army, Zhao Ming did not give the Qing army a chance to rearrange, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Musket team, press up!"

”When the cavalry of the Ming army, pursuing the retreating cavalry of the Qing army on both flanks, and driving them to the south, the musket battalion of the Ming army in front of the horizontal formation raised the flag in response to the commander.The three thousand Ming army flintlock musketeers in front of him, in the sound of the foot drums, all carried the muskets on their shoulders.Yu Guowang pointed the command knife forward and shouted angrily: "Forward!"

”The Ming soldiers marched in unison, carrying muskets, and lined up in a line several miles long, like a wall, and advanced forward.In front of the Ming musketeers, through the thin smoke of the battlefield, on the opposite horizon, was a wide blue wall of people.On the opposite side of the human wall, the flag fluttered overhead, and there was artillery in front, which was the 6,000 musketeers of the Manchu Han Army's blue flag, and it was also Hong Chengchou's last reliance.At this time, Hong Chengchou saw his cavalry retreating and was chased and killed by the Ming cavalry, while the Ming army's musketeers took the opportunity to press on the whole line, and their faces couldn't help but become hideous.Looking at the Qing army's infantry that was in turmoil, Hong Chengchou said to Bayan gloomily: "Bayan Gushan, this hall will personally supervise the battle, and those who dare to retreat under the blue flag of the Han army will be killed immediately." ”Bayan's expression was serious, and he immediately saluted, "Chirp, obey the order!"

”Hong Chengchou immediately waved his hand and said anxiously: "Hurry up and line up to meet the enemy, and at all costs, line up to defeat the frontal enemy army!"
