Chapter 196 The Battle of Jinling

There are 20,000 horses in Dege.

They are all elites of the Eight Banners.

About ten days ago, these 20,000 troops defeated Wu Xiang's tens of thousands of troops.

It can be said that morale is in full swing!

Why did Lu Xiangsheng directly fight these 20,000 people head-on?

Because character determines destiny.

If it were Hong Chengchou or Sun Chuanting, they would inevitably block Huang Taiji's food and grass first, causing Huang Taiji and Dege army to lack food and their morale to be low. Then they attacked, which would result twice as much with half the effort.

However, Lu Xiangsheng's personality disagrees with him, and he is a type of person who doesn't talk much.

In fact, on the battlefield, not any tactic is necessarily correct.

It can only be said that it varies from person to person.

Different armies are suitable for different tactics.

For example, it is necessary to say that the food and grass should be blocked first and then attack.

What if the Dege army heads north and surrounds Yizhou City?

Once the Dege army surrounded Yizhou City, it almost blocked Lu Xiangsheng's way of intervening in the construction of slaves and transporting grain, and Huang Taiji's food could be swaggered from crossing the river from Guangning.

On the contrary, once the Dege-like Jiannu army is killed here, and Yizhou is occupied and Huang Taiji is surrounded by enemies in the deepest army, wouldn’t the situation be better?

In short, for Lu Xiangsheng, it's all done.

In the morning, the Tianxiong Army had already spread out on the plain.

The vanguard in the middle is a heavy infantry, with a total of 4,000 men.

Everyone was wearing iron armor and carried a weight of more than 60 pounds.

They listed 40 square arrays, each square array was arranged neatly, each row had a platoon leader, each square array had a company commander, and every five square arrays had a regiment commander.

They held long spears cast by steel, shields, and sabers on their waists, which were specially designed to deal with the Jiannu cavalry.

Looking down from a high altitude, 40 steel square arrays were lined up in an orderly manner, taking amazingly consistent steps.

The ground was trembling and sinking.

The left and right wings are cavalry, and they are heavy cavalry, with 5,000 left wing and 5,000 right wing.

The heavy cavalry of the Beijing Guards is different from the Guanning Army and the Eight Banners heavy cavalry.

This heavy cavalry of the Beijing Guards is more similar to the Tiefutu in history.

They were covered in armor and had iron spears in their hands.

There is also a slender sabre around the waist.

Each slasher is two meters long. Once a charge is formed, the gods block the gods and kill them!

They were divided into two groups, namely 3,000 light cavalry.

Why are there two ways to separate?

Because the function of the light cavalry is to encircle the enemy.

With its superb mobility, it strikes the enemy's flanks.

It's not over yet, but the ace is actually the musketeer.

There were a total of 3,000 musketeers, and 6 hollow square formations were divided into two, each hollow square formation with a red cannon.

The hollow square array is between heavy infantry and cavalry, because it is the most susceptible place for the Jiannu cavalry to attack.

The hollow square formation is specially used to fight cavalry.

Lu Xiangsheng looked over with a telescope and saw Jiannu's flag flying in front of him, dust was everywhere, and teams of iron cavalry gathering quickly.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sigh that the telescope given by His Majesty the Emperor is really useful!

Soon, Jiannu's spy quickly returned: "Report! Report to Master Beile, the Ming army has approached here, 3 miles away!"

Then another spy came to report the Ming army's formation clearly.

Degele laughed and said, "It's just right!"

Jiannu's army was gathering quickly, and it was almost done.

The formation of the Dege class is also very simple.

The troops were divided into three groups, their own middle lane, Daishan left lane, and Amin right lane.

He was confident that he would defeat the Ming army.

Just like the last time Wu Xiang.

Soon, the Ming army's war drums rang out.

On the huge wooden cart, there were 10 war drums, and in front of each war drum were strong soldiers holding drumsticks and beating the war drums hard.

The Ming army would change according to the rhythm of the war drums.

The rhythm of war drums is now flat, but each sound is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Jiannu's army also began to move forward, neither side was fast, and it could be said that they were getting closer slowly.

Until the distance between the two sides is 500 meters, the rhythm changes.

The rhythm of the Ming army's war drums was significantly accelerated.

The heavy infantry in front suddenly shouted loudly: "Long live! Long live!"

Then, on the left and right wings, left and right roads, all the Ming soldiers shouted: "Long live! Long live!"

The sounds were rising and falling like waves, and the clouds that shook the sky seemed to be dispersed, with a magnificent momentum.

With this shout, the morale of the Ming army instantly reached its peak.

The 40 square arrays in front rolled forward at a not-so-fast speed, like a torrent of steel.

Jiannu's central army was also an infantryman, but it was mixed with archers.

No one is so stupid that he uses cavalry to attack the opponent's infantry that has already formed a formation, and the Ming army is a heavy infantry wearing heavy armor.

Soon, the distance above has been pulled to 200 meters and 100 meters.

The sound of Jiannu's horn in charge sounded.

The central infantry rushed forward.

However, the Ming army kept the phalanx unchanged, and let the Jiannu infantry rushed to this side.

However, before the Jiannu soldiers rushed over, there was a rain of arrows everywhere, like heavy dark clouds pounced from the sky.

The Ming army all raised their shields.

Some of the dense arrows fell on the shield, while others fell on the armor, making a sound of bells.

The Ming army, wearing heavy armor, was not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows at all.

After a few waves of arrows, the infantry on both sides were less than 30 meters apart.

At this time, both sides began to charge.

However, the Eight Banners charge faster, and the formation is slowly changing.

However, the Ming army's formation was still neat, and they all took out long spears in front and held them flat.

Without the order from the company commander, no one dared to stop, but just held up his gun and walked forward.

Seeing the Jiannu army pounced on him, the platoon leader in front immediately said: "Still!"

In an instant, countless people stabbed forward, and dozens of spears appeared together, forming a dense assassination. The front chest of Jiannu, who had just arrived, was stabbed dozens of holes, and even his internal organs were pierced.

All square arrays use this operation.

The Jiannu vanguard who had just pounced on him was actually given a ruthless death there, and his body was beyond recognition.

Jiannu's vanguard infantry attack was obviously suppressed by the Ming army.

The Ming army's pace was not fast, but the structure of the 100 square formations was very stable, and the lethality of their burst was also amazing.

But the Eight Banners are not so easy to deal with. The Eight Banners behind are constantly filling in, and no one is afraid to fight, they are very brave.

He had to fight the Ming army head-on.

In fact, it was the first time that a considerable number of Tianxiong Army had fought such a large-scale battle.

Even when attacking Yizhou, many people did not take action.

Therefore, some new recruits have a stress reaction due to too much psychological pressure.

Some people took off their spears!

And there are quite a few people!

In this way, there was a blank space in some places and it was torn open by the Eight Banners.
Chapter completed!
