This is the hollow square array.

It is very different from the traditional square array before.

For example, the middle is empty.

The traditional square formation is attacked by cavalry. Once the people in the middle are defeated, they will affect the people behind.

But the hollow square array is different.

The enemy cavalry rushed in and could only slash the air with their swords, and there was no larger impact on the opponent's array.

Not only that, hundreds of people were holding guns.

If these hundreds of people are upset about you, they may shake the trigger at the same time and knock you into a honeycomb.

At this moment, the Jiannu soldiers rushed in were a little panicked.

Bang bang bang bang...

The Ming army in a row next to him fired, and in an instant, he shot dozens of Eight Banners cavalry who rushed in and fell off his horse.

The charging horses were intimidated by bayonets and muskets, so many horses involuntarily changed directions and began to bypass the hollow square formation.

At this time, the turning point of this war came.

Why do you say so?

The 6 hollow square formations of the Ming army are the first three and the last three.

What is the biggest function of the hollow square arrays?

That's right, it's cutting the enemy!

The biggest advantages of cavalry are two:

1. Strong mobility.

2. The cluster has a strong impact.

However, once the cavalry charges head-on for the hollow square formation and fails to defeat it head-on, they will inevitably avoid it.

Just like at this moment, when you rushed in, you could not immediately defeat the Ming army's phalanx, but instead you were beaten after entering.

Once you avoid it, the original cluster impact will be decomposed, which is the so-called cutting of the enemy.

Once the cavalry's charge is cut out, its power will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Basically, a large-scale charge can no longer be formed.

At this time, when the cavalry's advantage weakens, the square formations form a linkage with each other and line up and shoot the enemy.

The moment Jiannu's cavalry detoured, the battle situation had quietly changed.

After the Jiannu cavalry detoured, they quickly penetrated through the gaps between the hollow square formations, forming a team of thin stormtroopers.

The overwhelming momentum just now was immediately disintegrated.

What made Jiannu even more helpless was that as soon as the concentrated stormtroopers arrived in front of the hollow square formation, they also began to detour and continued to be cut.

At this time, under the command of the platoon leader, the Ming army pulled the trigger in an orderly manner.

"Open fire!"

"Open fire!"

Bang bang bang bang...

Blue smoke surrounds, rows of Ming soldiers holding flintlock rifles pull the trigger, bullets shoot out of the gun chamber, gathering Jiannu soldiers or war horses.

The Jiannu cavalry kept falling down.

There are three rows on each side of each hollow square.

When the first row is shot, the second row immediately follows, and after the second row is shot, the third row follows.

And when all three rows of fire were completed, the opposite array had been filled.

After entering the square formation, it is equivalent to being surrounded by Ming army.

The war horses kept wailing and fell down.

The regiment commander shouted: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The others also shouted, "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The morale of the Ming army soared, and the soldiers in the collapsed hollow square just now stopped, raised the flintlock rifle in their hands, and some began to fill in ammunition.

The screams and defeat in front made the morale of the Jiannu army behind begin to shake, and the rhythm of the charge became obviously a bit messy.

However, the Ming army became more and more convenient to fight. Many soldiers had already entered the state and overcame the temporary stress response in front of the formation.

After they fired, they skillfully filled the ammunition, then raised their flintlock rifles and continued to shoot at the surrounding Jiannu cavalry.

Some Jiannu soldiers got up with difficulty after falling off their horses and ran out in panic, but were shot to death immediately.

Soon, the bodies of Eight Banners soldiers were covered with the surrounding areas.

The Ming army's shouts came one after another like waves: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

At this moment, even themselves were shocked.

Even they themselves don't know that they are so strong.

At this moment, the officers finally deeply understood why they were tirelessly training these formations.

At this moment, everyone truly realized the effect of this formation against the impact of the cavalry!

This is exactly at this moment when a sensation in their hearts that had not been before: self-confidence!

After a while, the Jiannu cavalry behind them had already begun to panic, and some even took a detour in advance to completely avoid the Ming army's phalanx.

As a result, the elite Jiannu team of 5,000 people had collapsed, and the other half was becoming chaotic at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dai Shan behind him was extremely angry, and he shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to withdraw!"

But no one heard his voice.

He gritted his teeth, this was impossible! How could this be possible!

Finally, the great collapse came, Jiannu's cavalry was completely defeated and they began to escape.

But Daishan still doesn't know how he lost.

How could a group of Ming troops holding muskets be defeated?

It was normal for him to have this idea, because the muskets in the late Ming Dynasty had basically minimal restraint on the cavalry.

But today, Dai Shanzhen was taught to be a human being.

Before, he was very energetic, but now he is in a dirt position.

In fact, now it is not just Jiannu who raided the rear of the Ming army, but Amin who attacked the Ming army on the right was even worse.

His cavalry was pushed by the heavy cavalry of the Ming army.

It was like being rolled by countless sharp blades, and there were dead bodies everywhere, and there were flesh and blood crushed into deformed everywhere.

In some places, even the war horses were knocked and their bodies were deformed.

Some war horses were stabbed through their bodies by spears, or their abdomen were torn open by slashes, and large pieces of internal organs flowed out.

Amin's defeat was even more thorough.

And what about the middle lane?

After the suicide squad rushed in in the middle, the situation of the battle also changed drastically.

The Ming army in the middle also advanced nearly 2 miles and fought fiercely.

So far, nearly 15,000 people have died in Jiannu.

The Ming army was not much better. Even with such excellent military equipment, nearly 10,000 people died in battle.

Especially heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, they are almost all people wearing steel and using their lives to attack each other.

So far, the 500-man suicide squad has almost died to only a dozen people.

This is the cruelty of war.

The flesh and blood body is running wildly in the forest of swords, guns and swords. It is a blessing to survive.

Nearly an hour later, after the news of Amin's defeat reached Degele, Degele was still entrusting the triumph of the central army and the left army.

What's the result?

He was soon told that the central army had collapsed!

The central army collapsed?

I'm going to collapse too!

Dege cannot believe this result.

Daishan!

Fortunately, I sent Daishan to the rear to raid the Ming army!

Fortunately, I'm wise!

It’s time to be defeated when you raid from the rear!

In ancient times, when wars were raided in the rear, the entire army would be at risk of rapid collapse of the entire army.
Chapter completed!
