Seeing that the cavalry was in a predicament and the musketeers were at a disadvantage, Wu Sangui was anxious and intended to press the whole army and stud directly.Hong Chengchou hurriedly stopped him from making a big gamble.Wu Sangui was red-eyed, "If you don't rush, the army will be defeated!"
”Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "Rush, Da Zhou will be over!"
”The strength of the Ming army was beyond Hong Chengchou's expectations, and the elite cavalry of the Zhou army, as well as the elite musketeers, did not occupy an advantage at all after pressing up.Now that the troops are collected, they can still maintain a certain amount of strength and leave hope, if they are all pressed, judging from the battle situation, they can only lose even more.Individuals can sometimes gamble, but the state cannot gamble, and once they lose, it will be a catastrophe.Not to mention a gamble with little chance of winning.Wu Sangui's face was annoyed, "If the widow doesn't rush, where else can he retreat?"
”Hong Chengchou grabbed the reins of the horse and didn't let go, "The king still has 100,000 troops who have not moved, defend on the spot, wait for reinforcements from Luoyang, maybe there is still a chance." ”Wu Sangui was undecided for a while, and Hong Chengchou saw this and said to the surrounding generals: "Quickly, let all the departments defend on the spot." ”The most elite men and horses of the Zhou army, cavalry and musketeers, successively attacked the Ming army's formation, but all ended in failure.Seeing this, the remaining Zhou army knew that they would rush forward, and they would definitely not be able to rush, so it was better to let the Ming army attack, even if they died, they would die later."
Alas," the generals hurriedly answered, and hurried to the arrangement.Seeing this, Wu Sangui could only grit his teeth and say, "Mingjin retreats!"
”On the battlefield, the golden sound of the Zhou army sounded, and the musketeers of the Zhou army, who were shooting at the infantry of the Ming army, were ecstatic when they heard it.The Zhou army's musketeers, who were about to collapse when they were shot by the Ming army's platoon of guns, immediately turned around and ran, and the front collapsed instantly.The cavalry of the Zhou army trapped in the hollow formation of the Ming army was not so lucky, Wu Guozhu heard the sound of gold, and hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted, "Quick, rush out!"
”The cavalry of the brigade galloped between the gaps in the hollow formation, and the musketeers of the Ming army raised their muskets in unison, and aimed their muzzles at the cavalry galloping from the front of the formation."
Bang bang bang" was another round of salvo, in the hollow array, the four sides of each phalanx opened fire in unison, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the cavalry of the Zhou army screamed and fell from their horses.For a while, the gaps between the various formations were covered with the corpses of war horses and cavalry, which made the Ming soldiers feel a sense of regret.What a good horse, with a musket, it can only be made into bacon.At this time, Wu Guozhu led the remaining cavalry and rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder.Under the banner of the Ming army, Zhao Ming waved his hand, the horn sounded, and the Ming cavalry, which had previously retracted to the rear, suddenly slapped their horses out and ran directly to the fleeing Zhou cavalry.The cavalry of the Ming army covered all the way, and the cavalry of the Zhou army crashed into the Ming army's two spear horizontal formations from behind, as well as the first line of infantry troops, chasing the back of the Zhou army's musketeers, and fled in panic with mixed infantry and cavalry.Zhao Ming smiled when he saw this, and shouted loudly, "Change the formation, and the whole army will press up." ”The Ming army was still flawed, that is, there was a shortage of cavalry.Now that the Zhou army is retreating, if there are tens of thousands of cavalry, they will be killed directly from behind, so as to ensure that the Zhou army will float for hundreds of miles, and it will be completely finished.However, because of the lack of cavalry, the infantry army could only be pressed in formation, and in this way, the speed was slow, which gave the Zhou army a chance to retreat.This is also the disadvantage of the southern army against the northern cavalry for generations, and it is often difficult to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army even if it wins, and once it is defeated, the enemy cavalry covers and kills, and the result is often the total annihilation.However, at present, the north of the Zhou army is the Yellow River, and there is no way to escape, and the hollow formation of the Ming army has changed into a horizontal formation in the military order, and the infantry army is marching together, and the 100,000 army is pushed over layer by layer.On a wide and multi-mile front, the Ming army was layered on top of each other, and the musketeers advanced like a wall, shooting and killing the fleeing Zhou army.On the frontal battlefield, with the line unfolded, no one could block the musket salvo of the Ming army, and no one could defeat the Ming army in the music of the march.At this time, the layers of Ming troops, chasing the rout, arrived in front of the Zhou army.The line infantry stopped, and then raised their guns in unison, and the soldiers who raised their shields to defend in front of the Zhou army looked at the muzzles of their guns and couldn't help but stir.The officer of the Ming army roared loudly, "Shoot!"
”"Bang bang bang" musket volley, projectiles whistled, and the Zhou troops on the front line fell to the ground in pieces."
Onward!
The officer pointed his sword forward, and the musketeer continued to march forward, then stopped again.Zhou Jun couldn't help but stir, and originally retreated, wanting to dodge the platoon gun shooting."
Shoot!"
The officer roared.In front of the "bang, bang, bang" Ming army front, the gunpowder smoke was connected, and the entire Zhou army was crumbling in the powerful firepower.At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand again, "Gun array stab!"
”With a trombone, the spearmen behind the musketeers, who were like a forest, crossed the musket line, put down the spears in unison, and rushed towards the Zhou army line.At the same time, the Ming army in the east also launched a fierce attack on the Zhou army.After Li Yuanyin on the eastern front rushed for a while, he withdrew to the west bank and continued to assume a defensive posture to prevent the Zhou army from breaking through to the west.The battle lasted from daytime to evening, and the Zhou army suffered a heavy defeat under the attack of the Ming army.When it was dark, Wu Sangui's 200,000 army lost nearly half, led more than 100,000 remnants, and was forced by the Ming army to Guangwu Mountain on the edge of the Yellow River, and was almost driven down the Yellow River by the Ming army.At this time, the battlefield gradually calmed down, and the Zhou army, which had not had time to escape, was captured by the Ming army, and under the supervision of the Ming army with guns, gathered in one place and squatted on several acres of land.The elite of the Zhou army, which recovered the Hetao and conquered Mongolia in the west, suffered a great defeat in the attack of the Ming army, and the battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles was full of corpses that were killed and discarded baggage.Wu Sangui stood on the top of Guangwu Mountain, overlooking the bottom of the mountain, the Ming soldiers haunted the corpses, collected the weapons of war, and cleaned the battlefield, while a large number of Ming troops dug trenches and built earthen walls at the bottom of the mountain, and felt desolate in their hearts.At this time, a team of cavalry galloped to the foot of the mountain, and Wang Yi and others hurriedly greeted them and saluted: "Your Highness!
”The Ming army defeated Wu Sangui, Zhao Ming was in a good mood, and after the victory in this battle, Zhou Guo was already in his pocket."
Wang Yi, you and Yuan Yin, this time you have made a great contribution!"
Zhao Ming turned over and said loudly."
It's all the regent's arrangements that can lead to this big victory!"
Wang Yi hurriedly saluted and smiled."
Hahaha~" Zhao Minglang smiled and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder, "Lone is seeking truth from facts, you guys played well this time, Lone is very satisfied." ”Wang Yi said: "It's a pity that Wu Sangui was not driven into the river!"
”"Almost!"
Zhao Ming waved his hand, and asked with a smile on his face, "How is the situation?"
”"Back to His Royal Highness, Wu Sangui led the tragic soldiers and retreated to the mountain, and the ministers have already dug a trench, built a wall, and surrounded it!"
Wang Yi clenched his fists and smiled.Zhao Ming looked at the busy soldiers, the trench already had a certain scale, so he immediately instructed: "Spend more effort, you must surround Wu Sangui to death!"
