Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 734: Decisive Battle: Queue to Shoot

Genius remember the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Let Hao Bainian make the decision to attack. Lu Yuzhi's cavalry had successfully defeated the Ming cavalry!

Although it was said that Lu Yuzhi's cavalry unit also lost hundreds of people in the hedge, but for the first cavalry detachment of more than 800 cavalry, although the loss of hundreds of cavalry was not small, it still had the strength to fight.

On the other hand, the cavalry of the Ming army only had more than 200 cavalry left, so their strength disadvantage was even more obvious.

In the future, if the Ming cavalry dares to fight again, there is absolutely no chance!

In today's battle, Hao Bainian did not adopt even the slightest risk-taking strategy, but fought steadily!

What came out were all dignified and upright conspiracies, but they were enough to make the opposing Ming army feel difficult to deal with!

After the cavalry confrontation between the two sides was over, Lu Yuzhi sent two hundred cavalry to continue the pursuit, and drove the remaining Ming cavalry from the battlefield, but he himself continued to lead the remaining five hundred cavalry to make a tentative attack!

Even if they knew that Lu Yuzhi's cavalry was only a tentative attack, the Ming army generals on the opposite side did not dare to relax at all, because only when they were heavily guarded would Lu Yuzhi's cavalry be a temptation. If the defense is not timely, then this kind of temptation will turn into a real cavalry charge at any time!

Although the number of 500 cavalry is nothing to the huge phalanx of more than 20,000 infantrymen, no one can ignore the role of these 500 cavalry. The phalanx must respond accordingly.

In this way, it can even contain several times at least thousands of Ming army infantry phalanx, which is enough to make the frontal attacking Datang infantry fight easier.

On the side, there are cavalry soldiers of the thief army staring at them, and on the front, there are a large number of infantry soldiers of the thieves army slowly pressing on!

Although the current formation of the Ming army in Hengyang is still tight, and there has not been much turmoil, but looking closely, it is indeed found that many people's hands and feet have already begun to tremble!

Because they all know that this time, they are surrounded. Not only are there a large number of enemy main forces in front, but there are enemy cavalry on one side, and there are thousands of thieves' infantry phalanxes in the rear!

Under the front and back attack, what they can do now is to hold together and defend, there is no other choice at all!

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even those high-level civilian generals, all of them are not very good-looking, although these civilian generals are not professional generals, but the civilians who can join the army, more or less have read the military book, and The history of the establishment of the new army of inspectors is not one or two days, but more than two years.

In the past two years, even if they hadn't had much contact with martial arts before, they have learned a lot now.

They know exactly what they are facing!

escape?

There is no escape from it!

The only chance to survive is to fight for the last time, and win the decisive battle this time, so as to be able to turn the corner.

Even they didn't have much hope of winning, but they were still reluctant to give up the last chance!

But even if they formed a formation to defend, but with the frequent detours of Lu Yuzhi's cavalry, it attracted the attention of a large number of his own infantry, which made the frontal confrontation of the infantry phalanx somewhat not enough!

Hao Bainian's troops continued to advance, from a few hundred meters to three hundred meters, and then two hundred meters. At this time, the Datang infantrymen who were familiar with the range of shotguns stopped at the orders of the officers!

The musketeer officers began to let the infantry load their ammunition, light the arquebus, and make the final preparations for the battle!

At the same time, Wang Chaohong of the First Army's forward unit also led his troops to press on from the rear, but the more than 3,000 people of the First Army's forward were not due west, but circled in a semicircle to the southwest, and then It pressed towards the southwest corner of the Ming army formation.

The purpose of this is naturally to force the Ming army to change formations!

Even if the Ming army knew that it was very dangerous to change formations now, they couldn't just watch the bandit army kill from their southwest flank!

When both sides are maneuvering and changing formations, the difference in the quality of the soldiers on both sides is reflected!

Maneuvering and evolution, especially the manoeuvring and evolution of an entire phalanx, is a great test of the overall quality of the troops. Not to mention the rest, the physical fitness of the soldiers alone is a great test!

Those unarmored light infantrymen are not bad, but for those heavy infantry wearing heavy armor, whether they are heavy armored spearmen or heavy armored sword and shield soldiers, they are all wearing dozens of pounds of armor. It's fine to stand still, but it's not an easy thing to do when you run with small steps.

What made the soldiers of the Ming army vomit blood even more was that after Wang Chaohong's forward troops moved once, and then returned to the due west again, the Ming army formation opposite them had to follow suit.

This is a competition of comprehensive qualities such as physical fitness and discipline of soldiers!

And once the Ming army can't keep up with the continuous changes of the Datang Forwards, it is time for the Datang Forwards to launch their final attack!

After changing back and forth several times, the comprehensive quality gap between the two sides has been perfectly reflected!

The striker led by Wang Chaohong still maintained a complete formation. When the pace of the soldiers was still steady, the phalanx formed by thousands of Ming soldiers opposite them was already in turmoil. The pace of many heavy armored soldiers was Slow down!

Wang Chaohong, who saw this scene, already knew that the time to launch the final attack had come!

But he still did not attack immediately, but let the messengers under his command communicate with Hao Bainian in front of him and ask for instructions!

Hao Bainian's reply came very quickly. Hao Bainian directly approved the attack plan of the forward troops and let them try to launch a tentative attack!

After receiving the order, Wang Chaohong immediately ordered the troops to continue to press!

The more than ten shotguns in the army were first pushed forward by many soldiers, and the infantry at the rear began to press forward in a standard line formation!

Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, when this distance was reached, the shotguns of the vanguard troops took the lead to fire, and when the sound of these small guns spread across the battlefield, it also announced the arrival of the final general attack!

After the phalanx, which was already in obvious chaos on the Ming army's side, was hit, the front row collapsed in an instant!

Then the soldiers of the Ming army also hurriedly launched the bowl-mouth cannon to counterattack!

After a round of shelling from both sides, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the main force of the vanguard, started striding forward with muskets and spears!

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, and after entering the distance of 80 meters, they did not continue to move forward, but stopped!

The musketeers in the musketeer team picked up their guns, and then carried out standard rounds!

Soon, the Ming army also vacated bursts of white smoke, and they also fought back with musketeers!

But at this time, the Ming Army musketeers who counterattacked found that their musket counterattacks were ineffective!

And when Wang Chaohong saw this scene, he smiled: "These plate armors are still useful!"

The 1st Infantry Regiment, as a reorganized infantry regiment, is equipped with a large number of plate armor, and the plate armor of the Datang Army, in addition to defending against cold weapons, is also used to defend medium and small caliber muskets at medium and long distances.

Although within 50 meters, one's plate armor will still be penetrated by muskets of 13mm and 14mm calibers, but beyond this distance, the defense effect against muskets is still good.

As for bows and arrows, there is no way to penetrate the plate armor that is 80 meters away, and the thickness is generally four millimeters!

What's more interesting is that, in addition to the spear units, the 1st Infantry Regiment is equipped with plate armor, and even some musketeers are equipped with cuirass!

This is not the case in other units of the First Army, except for the First Infantry Regiment!

Therefore, at a distance of 80 meters, the First Infantry Regiment almost had the advantage!

The Ming army on the opposite side also quickly discovered that something was wrong. Soon, their front was advancing, but when they started to advance, Hao Bainian, who was on the front, saw this scene, but ordered the troops to launch the final general attack!

The many infantrymen in the front are holding loaded muskets~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then move forward step by step!

One hundred and fifty meters, the shotguns on both sides opened fire!

One hundred meters away, the Ming army's arquebuses also opened fire!

Eighty meters, sixty meters, the Ming Army's arquebuses are getting more and more accurate, almost every moment soldiers of the Datang Army fall down, and after entering a distance of fifty meters, even those wearing The heavily armored spearmen in plate armor were also unable to withstand the bullets and began to fall one after another!

But they were still advancing, and what surprised and even terrified the soldiers of the Ming army was that there was a black army of thieves on the opposite side, from beginning to end, no shot was fired so far!

At this time, many Ming army soldiers who had fought against the pseudo-Tang thieves had already vaguely guessed what these pseudo-Tang thieves wanted to do!

They want to rush directly to the distance within 30 meters and open fire!

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fell one by one under the bullets, arrows and even artillery shells of the Ming army, but they did not seem to affect the other generals and soldiers. They continued to advance steadily. People will consciously make up for it, and always keep the number of people in the front row at full capacity!

As they continued to advance, the soldiers of the Ming army became more flustered. Many musketeers saw that the enemy was already in front of them. They made mistakes when loading, and some forgot to give the pass. Take it out, some are loaded with excessive gunpowder or several bullets, and then pull the trigger and let the match rope ignite the gunpowder and fire!

The end is naturally not very good, and it is appropriate to blow up the chamber.

When the Datang Army's line was only 30 meters away from the Ming Army, the Ming Army's firepower was even weaker than before!

At this time, the officers of the Datang Army in front of them raised their command knives in unison!

"Prepare for a volley!"

"aim"

"shooting!"
