Valley Emperor

At this time, if you look down from the sky, you will find that with the Bronze Drum Acropolis as the center, the two armies are wrapped one by one, and the square formations are intertwined with each other.

In the middle of the battlefield between the two sides is the bronze drum guard city and the Ming army of about 3,000 people in the city.

However, on the north side of the Bronze Drum Fortress, that is, on the side close to the Ming Army, there is the second infantry regiment led by Li Chunjing. According to each infantry battalion, each infantry battalion is a square formation, and its three square formations are basically in the shape of a pin. It blocked the contact between the Ming army in the city and the main force of the Ming army in the north.

The 5th Infantry Battalion was just 300 meters outside the north gate of Tongguwei City. If the Ming army in the city wanted to rush out, it had to first defeat the 5th Infantry Battalion.

However, about 100 meters in front of the 5th Infantry Battalion, are the 4th Infantry Battalion and the 6th Infantry Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. These two infantry battalions can support the 5th Infantry Battalion at any time.

About 200 meters above the left of the Second Infantry Regiment is the First Infantry Regiment. The formation of its three infantry battalions is relatively concentrated, and the most elite First Infantry Battalion is on the far left. This is to prevent The Ming cavalry attacked the flank of the army.

In the second infantry regiment, 100 meters to the left, was the fourth infantry regiment, also forming a dense formation.

The artillery battalion and the two spear corps temporarily reinforced and used to protect the artillery battalion are directly behind this first regiment!

These three infantry regiments and an artillery battalion, with about 6,500 people, are located in the direction north of Tonggu Weicheng, blocking the convergence of the main force of the Ming army and the Ming army of Tonggu Weicheng!

On the right side of the Bronze Drum Fortress are the 3rd Infantry Regiment and the 5th Infantry Regiment, which also have a zigzag formation.

However, on the left side of the Bronze Drum Acropolis, there is a blank space, but at the left rear of the Bronze Drum Acropolis, there are the personal guard battalion, baggage regiment, cavalry battalion and other auxiliary troops led by Li Xuan himself.

The 300-meter-wide vacancy on the left side of the Bronze Drum Acropolis can be seen by a discerning person at a glance. It is a trap. I dare not be the Ming army in the city who wants to rush out, or the Ming army outside the city who wants to rush through this passage. Go in, just under the firepower of most of the new Tang army!

The artillery of the artillery battalion turned around and fired shrapnel, which could inflict heavy casualties on the Ming army passing through this passage.

If Li Xuan personally led the personal guard battalion and the cavalry battalion to charge, it could also cause heavy casualties to the Ming army passing through this passage.

Therefore, Ming army generals with a little military common sense would not choose to attack or break through from this channel!

Qiu Yu naturally has basic military common sense. He is almost able to see the deployment of most of the pseudo-Tang bandit army on the city wall. He can see at a glance that the passage on the left and west seems to be empty. But in fact it is a dead end, whoever goes whoever dies.

If he wants to rush out to join the main force, or cooperate with the main force to fight, there are not many options left for him. It is nothing more than rushing out from the three directions of east, south, and north to fight.

There are at least 300 cavalrymen of the Pseudo-Tang Bandit Army there. The cavalry he saw was a cavalry team in the guard battalion and nearly 200 cavalry in the cavalry battalion. Three hundred cavalry.

To launch a breakout charge against the cavalry, no matter how you look at it, how stupid!

And if he breaks through from the south, the main force in the north can't support him, because even if the main force in the north wants to bypass, it must first break through the defense line of the main force of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, and the defense line of the main force of the pseudo-Tang bandit army is so Good breakthrough?

Others may not know, but Qiu Yu has already deeply experienced the strength of the pseudo-Tang thief army. The phalanx of the main force of the pseudo-Tang thief army of more than 6,000 people in front is not so easy to break through.

Even if you want to go around, you know that if you go around, the pseudo-Tang bandit army will follow suit, so you can go around so easily.

If you go from the back to the south, the main force will also move to the south. At that time, the formation of the two sides will still be the same.

Because the mobilization of the two sides has lasted for a whole morning, this morning, the two sides ran around the bronze drum acropolis, and finally formed the current pattern, there is a reason, that is because both sides have been looking for There is not a better formation, but now this formation is reluctantly acceptable, so it will stop and officially enter the stage of war.

Of course, in the course of the battle, the formations of both sides will continue to change, and the positions of each square cannot remain the same.

Besides, there are a large number of heavy armored units in the troops of both sides. There are a large number of heavy armored spearmen, heavy armored sword and shield players in the new army of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also a large number of heavy armored infantry in the Ming army. You let these soldiers It's fine if they are wearing heavy armor and maneuvering for a few hundred meters. If you let them run around and change formations, it will be exhausting.

Therefore, there is also a limit to the changes in the formation of the troops. It is impossible to say that the generals can change how they want, and many practical factors must be considered.

It is not easy to go to the east, because there will also be no support from the main force of the friendly army. By himself, he really does not have the confidence to break through the defense line of nearly 4,000 pseudo-Tang thieves, so as to join the main force.

At this time, he still didn't know the puppet thieves army in the east of Tonggu Weicheng. The 3rd and 5th infantry regiments were all recruits, and they didn't have any guns. Their combat effectiveness was the worst in the new army of the Tang Dynasty. of.

Even the two garrison battalions in the 3rd Infantry Regiment are much stronger than them!

However, the strength of an army cannot be seen most of the time just by looking at the surface. At least now, it is hundreds of meters apart. Qiu Yu can't insist that the pseudo-Tang bandit army in the east is a weak chicken. Get a big win.

In the end, Qiu Yu chose the direction that seemed to be the most difficult, but also the most likely to succeed, that is to kill from the north.

This is of course the main force of the pseudo-Tang thief army, but it is able to get the support of the main friendly army in the north, and the possibility of a successful breakthrough will be much higher.

Even under the attack of the front, it may be possible to completely defeat the more than 6,000 main forces in the north of the pseudo-Tang bandit army!

Seeing that the Ming army in the city actually rushed out on their own initiative, no matter whether they wanted to break through or attack the main Ming army in the north, Li Chunjing showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth!

In the past two days, he had already had a lot of dealings with the Ming army in the city, and also launched a tentative attack, but it was only a tentative attack that was intended to pressure the Ming army and force the main force of the Ming army to go south. , but almost invaded the Bronze Drum Acropolis.

This is enough for Li Chunjing to come to a conclusion. The Ming army in the city seems to have 3,000 people, but in fact, it is already like a bird in shock, and its morale is extremely low, which can be said to be unbearable for a battle.

They couldn't even defend the city, and now they still want to take the initiative to fight in the field!

They are courting death!

Li Chunjing immediately sent the order: "The fifth infantry battalion is ordered to stop them frontally, and the fourth infantry battalion moves south!"

"Send the 6th Infantry Battalion to retract 100 meters to the rear!"

At this time, one of his staff officers narrated: "Would you like to request the artillery support of the artillery battalion?"

At this time, Li Chunjing looked at the artillery position at the left rear. There was still artillery fire. They were continuing to bombard the Ming army in the north, especially the artillery in the Ming army.

At this time, the artillery battalion had more important tasks, and it was impossible to distract himself with artillery support, even if it was just an artillery support.

So he said simply: "No, we are enough!"

His Second Infantry Regiment is the only two fully-staffed Infantry Regiments in the Datang New Army. The Fourth Infantry Battalion is an old one. Although the Fifth Infantry Battalion is newly formed, its officers are all soldiers. The veterans who were directly recruited from other battalions had new designations, but the troops were old troops, and the predecessor of the Sixth Infantry Battalion was the First Mixed Battalion,

As for the soldiers of the 1st Mixed Battalion, many of them are veterans of the Huangzhushan period. Most of the soldiers have joined the army for more than half a year or even a year. At the beginning, their combat effectiveness was on a par with that of the 1st Infantry Battalion. After the infantry battalion, the combat effectiveness has declined, but in fact, the sixth infantry battalion is still the leading ace unit in the second infantry regiment, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the fourth and fifth infantry battalions.

This is why he used the fourth and fifth infantry battalions to face the Ming army in the city, but contracted the sixth infantry battalion and still faced north, because if the main force of the Ming army in the north rushed up, he needed the sixth infantry battalion to block it. them.

Qiu Yu rode a tall horse and rushed out with the troops!

He kept shouting something, with excitement and desire for victory on his face, but most of the Ming soldiers behind him looked nervous and even desperate.

The three thousand Ming army in the city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After so many days of fighting against the pseudo-Tang bandit army, their morale has been completely broken. He became a frightened bird, and the morale of the original thousand Ming army in the city was still good, but under the influence of the two thousand people in Qiu Yu's headquarters, the morale will inevitably be affected.

And in yesterday's defensive operation, they really saw the strength of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, especially the sharpness of the firearms of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, which has left an indelible impression on them.

Now, Qiu Yu actually rushed out with them, saying that he wanted to break out of the siege and join the main force, or even to attack the thieves face to face with the main force.

But is it possible?

how is this possible!

They don't believe that they can rush out. Isn't the best way at this juncture to hide in the establishment obediently and watch the friendly army and the pseudo-Tang bandit army fight?

If the friendly forces win, then they are saved, and if the friendly forces lose, then...

Well, it's a big deal to surrender!
