1234 The new square

In just a few minutes, a square array of eight people thick and more than twenty people long took shape again! And as the soldiers continued to gather, the square array was getting longer and longer!

Hao Yun didn't know why he had enough time to gather his soldiers. But he didn't have time to think about this issue. He only knew that they had to gather to intercept the next batch of attacks from the Qing army!

He believed that his companions in the Central Army were very relaxed and happy to deal with the ten thousand people rushing forward! He just needed to block the people behind and prevent them from continuing to put pressure on the Central Army.

At this time, Tan Tai was proudly gathering the only remaining cavalry in the Han army flag rushed over. Following them were more than 3,000 infantrymen from the Han army flag. The main forces of other Han army flags were still enduring artillery attacks directly in front of the position and putting pressure on the front line. Then were the artillery teams that were unloading the truck and more than 10,000 Korean soldiers.

Tan Tai was able to meet with the cavalry of the Han army flag because Li Kaiping used a trick. His personal soldiers pretended to pass by and stuffed a newly lit turquoise into the ears of a pack horse pulling a cannon.

Shortly after the personal soldier left, the pack horses jumped like crazy! Not only did they hurt the horses on their own, they also twisted the shaft of the car and overturned the cannon on the car to the ground!

The crazy pack horse ran desperately, shook its head, and tried to shake off the things in its ears, but it had no effect. Instead, it caused a lot of riots in front of the position!

By the time the soldiers killed the crazy war horse and finished reorganizing the team, it had already taken eleven minutes! The smooth attack of the Qing army had a brief pause!

It was these eleven minutes that gave Hao Yun the opportunity to reorganize the phalanx and also determined the direction of the entire war!

At this time, more than 3,000 people had gathered around Hao Yun, forming a huge square formation. Hao Yun had to make the eight-way streets thicker than ten-way streets. The spear soldiers turned into six-way streets, and the musket soldiers turned into four-way streets. Otherwise, if the square formation was too long, it would be difficult to command!

On both sides of the square, there were some bare-handed soldiers armed with weapons from the bodies of the Qing army. They formed a hand-to-hand combat battle under the leadership of two officers.

The group is ready to fight around the square formation at any time, or wait for the substitutes to enter the square formation.

Hao Yun looked at the square formation gathered around him, and the soldiers' confused faces once again appeared with confidence. He immediately felt a lot of passion in his heart! He raised his musket and shouted loudly: "Wan Sheng!"

As soon as the roar fell, the soldiers waved their weapons and responded loudly: "Wansheng!Wansheng!Wansheng!"

With the shouts, the scattered morale was instantly condensed! These soldiers were like companions who had worked with them for many years, without any barriers at all, leaning against each other side by side, and no longer fear in their hearts!

At this time, Hao Yun was not defeated by the rising enthusiasm, but became calmer. Every word Liu Pei and the instructor said flashed through his mind like lightning! So he began to perform his duties as a commander.

Even if he clearly saw that several officers in the phalanx had higher ranks than him, he issued an order without hesitation. And those officers also treated themselves as ordinary soldiers, stood in the phalanx, and followed everyone to shout loudly!

Hao Yun concentrated on looking at the Zhenghuang Banner cavalry that was rushing from a distance, and shouted loudly: "The spearmen resisted the horses! The musket soldiers were ready to shoot in a volley!"

Hao Ping'an temporarily called soldiers who acted as a messenger and immediately passed the order loudly. When the spearmen received the order, they immediately squatted down and placed the spears obliquely to form a horse. They gave the fire out of the musket soldiers. The musket soldiers began to inspect, load the muskets, and were ready to shoot at any time.

Tan Tai, who was rushing over, felt a little regretful when he saw the square formation ahead. He knew that it was his own selfishness that gave these Ming soldiers a chance to breathe. However, this regret flashed away!

He had seen the Ming army formation organized by mouth and nose many times. These defeated soldiers gathered together just to survive and had no will to fight! As long as they rushed, they would collapse! But the group of Ming soldiers in front of them seemed different.

So he slightly lowered his horse speed and retreated to the cavalry group. Then he issued an order and said, "Break down the Ming army in front!"

The soldiers around him smiled and speeded up the horse speed. Their thoughts were exactly the same as Tan Tai's. They all thought that they all thought.

The Ming army formation opposite was vulnerable.

But as they rode their horses closer and closer, they muttered in their hearts! Because they could see clearly that there were a large number of musket soldiers in the Ming army opposite, but they did not rush to launch them! This is not the performance that the defeated soldiers should have!

When they saw the Qing army, they should have shot randomly in panic, and then collapsed under the rain of arrows of the Qing army! But the Ming army in front of them calmly waited for them to approach, and they did not look like a defeated soldier at all!

But they had approached the Ming army and had no room for revolving again. So they took off their bows and arrows and were ready to shoot. However, the Qing soldiers in the front row suddenly saw a flash of red light in the other party's square formation! Then the red light quickly formed! Then the screams of the people around them rang one after another, and the hot guys fell from the horse one after another!

The Qing army soldiers immediately shot out feather arrows with color. In an instant, large pieces of feather arrows rose up like dark clouds and flew towards the opposite formation.

At this time, Hao Yun had ordered the second row of musket soldiers to come forward to prepare for shooting. Hao Ping'an, beside him, accurately conveyed his orders with the sound of drums. The soldiers entered a familiar combat state and their emotions became more stable! They firmly believed that with reliable companions and trustworthy commanders, they would definitely win!

So their rows of musket soldiers fired at an unprecedented speed! Rows of lead bullets shot down the soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner who were rushing over. But the soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner also became stubborn at this time!

They felt that even the phalanx organized by the defeated soldiers could not be destroyed, and many people were shot and killed, which was simply a disgrace to the reputation of the warriors of the Qing Dynasty!

So they endured casualties and kept charging. And they simply threw down their bows and arrows. Because after shooting two rounds of arrow rain, they found that few dozens of people on the other side were dragged out of the square formation. Many soldiers were only slightly injured even if they were shot, and they insisted on guarding their positions!

When Hao Yun saw the cavalry approaching, he ordered loudly: "Resist the horse, flatten the gun! The musket soldiers put on bayonets!"
