Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

However, Huang Taiji had no other choice.

Not to mention the waste of precious time with the Ming army generals who don't need cavalry, but the multi-stage shooting of the firecrackers is an insurmountable distance for the Ming army generals without horses!

And under the full preparation of the Yongwei Battalion, using cavalry and shooting to let bloodletting bit by bit, this trick is also not easy to use.

After all, just looking at the brave guard battalion's ready posture, one knows that they must have made complete preparations, and in fact, it is the same.

Those rounds of cavalry and shooting had no great results, but after being injured by the firecrackers and artillery, Huang Taiji decisively ordered the cavalry to charge directly.

Up to now, the turbulent crashed into the army formation of the Yongwei Battalion!

There is no doubt that those seemingly solid preparations are too fragile under the pile of lives that have passed on.

In just a moment, all kinds of defensive facilities in front of the army formation were completely torn apart, and the real hand-to-hand combat was also fully launched!

Fortunately, although many defensive facilities in front of the army formation have been torn apart by the Houjin cavalry, they can still delay the impact of many cavalry after all.

"kill!"

But no matter what, at this time, the soldiers at the forefront of the army had no way out, and could only shout wildly, fiercely resisting the charge of the cavalry.

Spears, hook sickles, large shields, firecrackers, four simple weapons, in this hand-to-hand combat, constituted a cycle of the infantry's first wave of defense!

Both sides are going forward one after another, one after another, one team after another!

Under the impact of that inertia, the rear golden iron cavalry could not retreat at all, while the brave guard infantry, under the inertia of strict discipline constraints, and under the threat of the blade of the rear supervising team, also could not retreat!

They could only mechanically wave the weapon in their hands, or hold the firecracker tightly, firing again and again, and the throwing soldiers behind lit the fuze of the thunder, threw it with their hands, and fell into the Houjin army formation, then It was a burst of sparks, and shards of iron nails flew around, taking many lives away.

Accompanied by the shouts of charge, a sharp arrow whizzed past the ears, swords and shields collided, screams rang out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

Torrential rain of arrows and projectiles flew through the battle armor uniforms, splashed blood was thrown in the air, the soldiers' heads rolled to the ground, and pairs of blood-red eyes flashed with crazy light on the ferocious faces !

The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, the sky was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the front line of close combat had been completely reduced to bloody purgatory in just a short moment of stalemate!

This time, the post-golden soldiers, who were always invincible, suddenly discovered that those soldiers of the Ming army who were supposed to be trembling under their cavalry and fled in all directions were like a towering mountain!

Even though they went on and on, they couldn't really make any progress.

Kill one, add another, kill a team, add another team, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in front of them are also advancing one after another, and the supply is endless!

And for a cavalry, the most terrifying thing is that the offensive that should have been overwhelming was completely hindered by the hysteresis!

There is an endless stream of waves coming from the rear, but there is no progress in the front!

Swords, shields and spears, guns and cannons, towering army formations, form bloody slaughterhouses, tearing apart the soldiers of both sides frantically!

Of course, there were exceptions. Compared with the troops on the left and right flanks, the defense of the Chinese army was undoubtedly much weaker under Li Xiu's deliberate arrangement.

After a moment of offensive, the front line of the weak Chinese army seemed to be on the verge of collapse!

This change was undoubtedly noticed by Huang Taiji at the very first moment. When he saw the hillside behind the Chinese army and the handsome flag fluttering in the wind on the conspicuous high platform, Huang Taiji didn't know what Li Xiu's intention was. !

Li Xiu dared to bet, why didn't he dare to bet!

When the Houjin iron cavalry was in all directions, when was it ever afraid!

An order was conveyed layer by layer, and the various iron cavalry that had already been blocked from the offensive slowly gathered into a monstrous torrent, overwhelming and rushing towards the already crumbling formation of the Yongwei Battalion.

"Order Yan Shun, fully support the front wing of the Chinese army. If Huang Taiji wants to come in, let him take off a layer of skin!"

"Order the units on the left and right wings to shrink the army formation, stabilize the position, and continue to hold on. Once the Houjin cavalry breaks through the position of the central army, the units on the left and right wings will immediately advance to encircle them!"

Sensing the change in the situation on the battlefield, Li Xiu decisively issued an order.

He wanted to lure the enemy to go deep, and he put it in front of Huang Taiji nakedly, but it also depends on whether Huang Taiji has this ability.

If he can't even break through the weak points he deliberately set aside, then he has to reconsider the overall strategic plan!

And when the pressure that should have been faced by the entire army suddenly concentrated on the first part of the Chinese army, the word tragic was redefined once again!

The ten-meter-long spear is flat, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and it can't stop stabbing. Occasionally, some brave Houjin soldiers pass through the gap between the forest of spears and hook sickles, but they can't stop the rows of firecrackers from firing. , and even the knife and axe guards in front of the gunmen are also an insurmountable hurdle.

Of course, the ones who suffered the most casualties were naturally not the gunfire fighters in the rear, but the large shield soldiers and spear hook soldiers in the front.

Under this tsunami-like impact, even heavy armor would not last long. If it weren't for the various defensive facilities in front, it could also delay the impact of the cavalry. In addition, the support rotation system is extremely perfect. It is estimated that one side The army array had already been torn apart.

It has to be said that even if the infantry of this era has an advantage, it is still difficult to hide its disadvantages when facing the cavalry.

Of course, in Li Xiu's view, the most important thing is that there are too many irreparable disadvantages in the battle between infantry and cavalry.

Just like this war, if the brave guard battalion were all cavalry, then the way of fighting the war would be much simpler, why would there be so much careful consideration and preparation required!

"Zhou Yuji sent troops to cover the artillery and trebuchets and advance forward, all of them supporting the Chinese army, and bloodletting Huang Taiji!"

Seeing that Hou Jin's army was about to gather together, Li Xiu also issued another military order.

The orders were issued layer by layer, and finally reached the positions of artillery and trebuchets. In fact, artillery and trebuchets were also the key targets of Hou Jin's attack. However, the two battalions of soldiers and horses were already under the protection of heavy troops. Hou Jin was also helpless.

There are not a few firearms in the Yongwei Battalion. In addition to Li Xiu's collection, today's artillery battalion seems to have the feeling of gathering large-scale artillery in later generations to cover firepower.

Of course, although the quantity is large, the quality is far behind.

Even so, a battalion of hundreds of artillery pieces of various types fired in salvo, and the scene was extremely magnificent.

A round of volley, almost visible to the naked eye, cut off a piece of Houjin's assembled army, causing countless casualties!

It's just that one round of volleys can be fired. After a round of salvos caused heavy damage to Hou Jin's army, Huang Taiji also reacted immediately.

Directly dispatched an elite division to fly straight towards the artillery positions.

Artillery in this era, after all, has too many limitations, whether it is the firing time, or the firing distance, or the hit rate, there are still too many differences.

Under such various reasons, in order to give Houjin a wave of ruthlessness, and risk all gathering in the artillery battalion in front of the formation, they could only quickly pack up their things and run under the cover of the infantry.

This scene, on the entire battlefield, was just an insignificant episode. After Li Xiu got the news that the artillery battalion did not suffer much loss, he put it aside and continued to focus on the overall battle situation.

As the war continued up to this point, Houjin's combat effectiveness was still fully reflected.

Although the front wing of the Chinese army has not fallen, in Li Xiu's view, as long as Houjin continues to maintain such an offensive, the fall of the front wing of the Chinese army is very likely and will become a foregone conclusion for at most half an hour.

And once the front wing of the central army fell, Huang Taiji would definitely fall into the pocket he had made for him without hesitation.

Bing Feng approached the command center where he was located, that is, under this hill!

The top of the mountain is not steep at all, but it is just a gentle hillside on the plain. If there are no ravines dug temporarily, you can even ride up the mountain easily.

In this way, it depends on whether Huang Taiji broke through his command center first, or he surrounded Huang Taiji first!

As time passed bit by bit, Li Xiu's gaze was always fixed on the front wings of the Chinese army fighting bravely.

There is no doubt that his painstaking efforts in the Bravery Battalion did not disappoint him.

The Guan Ning iron cavalry, known as the most elite of the Ming Dynasty, is still reluctant to use cavalry to fight against Houjin.

His infantry can completely block the offensive of the Houjin Iron Cavalry under a direct confrontation. Although there are many factors prepared in advance, it can never conceal the bravery of this army.

"almost……"

With the emergence of Li Xiu's idea, the front wing of the Chinese army, which had been struggling for a long time, finally completely collapsed!

Soldiers who had fought hard for a long time died of hatred in front of the Houjin Iron Cavalry who had lost their formation!

The post-gold iron cavalry is also driving straight in, to force the core command center of the Chinese army!

Huang Taiji galloped forward, his eyes were fixed on the majestic figure under the handsome flag on the hillside, although the distance was not close, Li Xiu seemed to have sensed something at this time, his eyes moved away, and the collision See.

At this moment, Huang Taiji also clearly saw the slight smile on the corner of Li Xiu's mouth.

For some reason, looking at the seemingly ordinary hillside in front of him, with a maximum of two or three thousand garrison troops, Huang Taiji suddenly felt an ominous premonition...

Chapter 1 Sixty

"Beat drums, send orders, encircle the left and right wings, and cavalry support!"

Looking back, Li Xiu suddenly turned around and walked down the high platform.

Huang Taiji dared to bet because he expected that he would not have any extra troops in his hands.

After all, the overall number of soldiers and horses in the Yongwei Battalion is not a secret.

Based on the detailed operations before the battle and the intelligence of the scouts, combined with the analysis during the battle, it is easy for any experienced veteran to figure out how many troops Li Xiu, the command center, still has.

In fact, just as Huang Taiji expected, after the layout of the entire battlefield, the entire command center has less than [-] generals, including Li Xiu's personal battalion.

A total of less than 2000 people is the limit of the troops that Li Xiu can mobilize at present.

In this way, is it to die and survive, or is it really a way out?

I think it will be revealed soon!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Huang Taiji was also not polite at all, when the soldiers arrived, they immediately started to attack.

At this time, the generals of the Houjin soldiers, who were as turbulent as the tide, and the soldiers of the Ming army who were attached to them, also frantically rushed towards this mountain that did not even have a name on the map.

"Five hundred paces, four hundred paces, three hundred paces... fire the cannon!"

After thousands of households in the artillery battalion screamed, the sound of artillery suddenly broke out on the top of the mountain.

Boom boom boom!

White smoke filled the battlefield with pungent gunpowder, raging.The bullets caused waves of blood and blood among the crowd.

"Fireball! Let it go!"

Soon, the shouts of thousands of infantrymen, accompanied by changing flags, resounded on the battlefield, followed by a series of crackling firecrackers.

After several consecutive rounds of firecracker shooting, the firecracker soldiers retreated a few steps conveniently, and the large shield soldiers on the back stepped forward, with swords and guns like a forest, straddling the top of the mountain. While covering the firecracker soldiers' shooting, they were also ready Facing the impact of the post-gold cavalry.

In fact, it is not an easy task for the post-gold iron cavalry to rush to the place where the short soldiers are handed over.

On the hillside, and even in the large open space below, the most indispensable thing is the criss-crossing ravines, densely packed horse pits, and the ferocious iron spikes, and the iron thorns scattered over half of the ground. nail.

Of course, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, it is naturally impossible for Huang Taiji to let his own direct line take the lead. Most of these cruel defense facilities were borne by the Ming army generals who belonged to Houjin.

Then the Jin soldiers and the Mongolian iron cavalry followed the bloody road that the Ming soldiers stepped on, and pushed forward bit by bit towards the top of the mountain!

Of course, the war is far more than the tragic scene of attacking the mountain.

Knowing that the soldiers will be encircled to make dumplings, Huang Taiji naturally made many arrangements, and then most of the Jin army are cavalry, with the unforgettable mobility of the infantry, it is enough Leave a lot behind.

In fact, nowadays, the encirclement process of Yongwei's left and right wings is extremely difficult under the harassment and attack of Houjin Rangers.

A series of small-scale contact battles are staged on this vast battlefield almost every minute!

At this time, the brave guard cavalry finally came in handy.

The brave guard cavalry is divided into two parts.

Two armored men and horses, with five hundred heavy cavalry!

The rest is Qingqi!

At this moment, the heavy cavalry hadn't left the factory, and the light cavalry galloped like a sharp sword out of its sheath, directly rushing towards the plundering golden iron cavalry.

For the cavalry, riding and archery is naturally an inseparable item. Therefore, the two cavalry are still far behind, and they are still galloping, and the rain of arrows pours down.

In the number of riding and shooting, Yongwei Qingqi is naturally incomparable to the proficiency of Houjin Iron Cavalry.

But the armor equipped is far more perfect than the post-gold iron cavalry.

Even if it is a light cavalry, it is still a suit of armor. Even the horse is covered with a layer of cotton armor, which has been used to prevent accidental damage from the arrows.

It is also a rain of arrows, but it has two completely different effects.

"Hmph! Give me the strength of the Japanese women!" Erwazi pointed his horsewhip at the rear golden cavalry and shouted, "Follow me, rush over, I want to use their heads to drink!"

"kill!"

There was another thunderous roar, and Yongwei Qingqi charged again with hooves thundering like thunder.

"Forward! Forward!"

The Houjin Ranger was restrained, and the generals in charge of the left and right wings also shouted frantically. The orders were reflected in the battle drums and command flags. Amid the mighty battle drums, the towering army formations like mountains, one by one, gradually moved. Move, all those who dare to stop will be ruthlessly crushed.

At this moment, if you look down from above, you can clearly see that a pocket formation built by tens of thousands of troops is about to take shape.

In addition to the frenzied fighting at the center of the mountain, at the junction of the pocket formations, the cavalry and infantry of both sides never stopped fighting!

"Tricky!"

At this moment, Huang Taiji's eyebrows became more and more gloomy!

The post-gold iron cavalry, which used to be invincible in the past, seems to have suddenly lost its effect now.

With Li Xiu's tens of thousands of infantry, no matter where he fights, he will crash headfirst into mountains and swamps out of curiosity!
