Valley Emperor

And more importantly, because of the inertia of the charge, the charge of the Ming army soldiers will not stop in a short time, even if the soldiers in front do not want to charge, but someone behind will push him forward, and then he will die tragically Under the spears of the spearmen of the Datang New Army.

At this time, there was also a small amount of outstanding force value. The heavy armored sword and shield hand of the Ming army in heavy armor passed through the spear formation, and then tried to fight meleely.

For a time, there were no small casualties in the array of Datang's new army!

But at this time, the heavy armored sword and shield hands of the new army of the Tang Dynasty also came up to meet these heavy armored soldiers of the Ming army, and some of them were directly abandoned by the heavy armored spearmen, and then took out the waist knife and raised it. The shield is transformed into a heavy armored sword and shield hand to participate in the fight!

For a time, the first line of contact between the two sides was a large number of casualties!

And the large number of casualties shook the morale of both sides for the first time!

At this time, the competition is no longer about the formations and martial arts of the soldiers on both sides, but the morale of the two sides!

The officers of the Datang New Army kept urging that whenever a soldier in the front row fell, they would let the soldiers in the rear row stand up, always maintaining a dense formation in front, and causing continuous damage to the Ming army.

This tactic is actually very similar to the line combat of the musketeers. After the front row is killed or wounded, the rear row is replaced, and the firepower of the first row is always maintained.

After all, the new army of the Tang Dynasty is a whole, and it attaches great importance to the musketeers. The spearmen's combat actually cooperates with the musketeers. Therefore, the queue training and some tactics of the spearmen are actually similar to those of the musketeers.

Not to mention spearmen, even the cavalry training of the new army of the Tang Dynasty is based on the training content of musketeers.

So many times, when you see the spearmen, cavalry and musketeers of the new army of the Tang Dynasty fighting, they are almost all carved out of the same mold.

The new army of the Tang Dynasty has always maintained the front row, but the Ming army on the opposite side is not like this.

When the brave personal soldiers in the front row were killed and wounded, the guards in the back row could still stand up in front of them, but those young men were different!

Looking at the spears in front of him, many of the spears were still bloodstained, and in front of his feet were the corpses of friendly soldiers. These ordinary young men and civilians who had not experienced any training. , did not have the courage to rush up with a tattered waist knife and spear.

They were afraid to move forward, but some people would be pushed up by the people behind and directly hit the spear on the opposite side.

This situation could continue for the first tens of seconds, but just one minute later, the young men looked at the corpses and wounded lying in front of them, and turned from fearful to running away.

When someone in the front turns around and runs away, it will lead the people on the left and right behind to run away.

When this kind of thing happens, the next thing is logical. Like every defeat of the Ming army, first dozens of people, then hundreds of people, and then the collapse of the entire front!

When the elite soldiers who were still fighting hard found out that even the ordinary guards had already turned and fled, they could only retreat helplessly, otherwise, they would die miserably.

Looking at the Ming army that came in like a tide, but retreated like a tide in a short two minutes, the major battalion commander of the reserve battalion snorted coldly: "The pigs are better than them!"

In the distance, Song Tianbiao was relieved to see that the reserve battalion successfully repelled the attack of the Ming army. Since the reserve battalion has successfully blocked the attack of the Ming army, then he can safely attack the Ming army. rear.

There are countless loads of Ming army waiting for him!

Xinglongwei commanded a 5,000-strong army led by Master Tongzhi Shen, and attacked a phalanx of 500 people from the pseudo-Tang bandit army in the area, and they were pure cold weapons. Only Song Tianbiao saw it, and Zhu Zhihai, who was directing and arranging the army to enter the city, also saw it.

I saw his face was black, and his mouth was wriggling several times to speak, but he didn't say it. From this, it can be imagined that once he said it, it would definitely not be a good thing!

The senior generals of the Ming Army next to them also looked shocked and helpless. Damn, what's going on? There are 5,000 people, even if there are 4,000 young men, even if the soldiers in the Qianren Guard are mostly soldiers. There are old and young disabled, but no matter what, they are 5,000 people!

Even if it were 5,000 pigs, it would not be defeated so fast. How long has it been, and how many people are there in front of the Pseudo-Tang bandit army? It’s only 500, and it’s still a phalanx of pure cold weapons without firearms. , this can be defeated so neatly.

But they were shocked and shocked, and there was nothing they could do about this happening!

In the end, I can only look at Zhu Zhihai one by one!

At this time, Zhu Zhihai took a few deep breaths and said: "Xinglongwei is already unreliable. After this is broken, we have to come by ourselves. More than a thousand people in the pseudo-Tang thief army have gone straight to our army's baggage troops, and they must be stopped. Otherwise, Even if our army enters the city smoothly, it will be out of food in just a few days!"

Immediately, he turned his attention to the Ming army generals beside him, and said, "Master Zhao, Master Wang, Master Lin, you each lead your headquarters and cover the back of the baggage!"

Zhu Zhihai did not wait for them to answer, but continued: "The safety of the cargo means the safety of the army, and you should know the importance!"

Although the three named were said to be embarrassed, they looked at Zhu Zhihai's incomparably determined expression and thought of the **** head of the commander of Xinglongwei not long ago. Said: "The subordinate obeys the order!"

After the three generals went down one after another, each led their own troops to turn around, and then went to cover the baggage troops and intercepted the attack of more than a thousand pseudo-Tang thieves led by Song Tianbiao.

Seeing that there were soldiers of the Ming army rushing forward, and there were still a lot of soldiers and horses, not only two battalions of infantry phalanxes, but also a cavalry, Song Tianbiao decisively ordered to retreat: "The whole army Stop, turn back, walk together!"

Because the Ming army that turned around was quite large, there were more than 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry!

And the key point is that these Ming troops are all regular troops of the Ming Dynasty, and many of them are still wearing heavy armor. From this, it can be seen that they are the regular guards of the Ming army, and that cavalry should be Zhu Zhihai. The cavalry directly under the command of Fubiao, at a glance, knew that it was not easy to mess with.

Song Tianbiao's mission was only to contain and delay the Ming army. If the Ming army did not send troops to fight, then he would naturally attack the cargo of the Ming army.

But if the Ming army sends the main force to intercept him, then he must choose to avoid the edge for a while!

Anyway, about half an hour has passed since this one and the other. Calculate the time, the 10th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Regiment should be almost there, and there is no need for him to fight recklessly.

The Ming army dispatched the main force to turn around and intercept it. This was considered to be a safe cover for the continued rear side of the baggage troop, but in this way, it was inevitable to delay the overall entry time of the Ming army!

Seeing that the troops led by Song Tianbiao took the initiative to retreat, the more than 3,000 infantrymen who had turned around from the Ming army also stopped consciously. Anyway, the distance was so far away that they could not catch up, as long as these pseudo-Tang thieves did not kill them Come here, they naturally won't waste their energy to pursue them stupidly.

On the contrary, the cavalry tried to chase and kill, but at this time Song Tianbiao decisively ordered the troops to list a square formation!

Looking at this phalanx, the cavalry generals of the Ming army who led the team knew that if they rushed forward, they would die miserably!

The light cavalry attacked the enemy's incomparably close infantry phalanx, which was self-defeating!

If they don’t know the combat effectiveness of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, it’s fine, maybe they will rush over to fight, but since they know that the pseudo-Tang bandit army can fight, they will naturally not be stupid~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But although these cavalry did not rush over , but was wandering more than two hundred meters away, trying to find the weakness of the 3rd Infantry Regiment.

For a time, the two sides held each other like this, and time passed bit by bit!

As time passed, the generals of both sides showed smiles invariably!

The generals of the Ming army thought that entering the city was very smooth, and that they would be able to enter the city in a short time, and they could also carry all the baggage smoothly.

And Song Tianbiao smiled. That was because the 10th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Regiment had already arrived at the battlefield. Just now, the Brigade Commander of the 2nd Brigade, Fang Xitong, had already sent a messenger to convey the latest order.

Fang Xitong said that he will personally lead the 10th Infantry Battalion and the 7th Infantry Regiment into the battlefield from the east!

It didn't take long for them to scroll through the low hills and appear in the sight of the armies on both sides!

Song Tianbiao didn't wait long. After two quarters of an hour, he saw rows of figures appearing on the top of the hill to the east. First, dozens of cavalrymen quickly passed by, and then there were groups of infantrymen entering the battlefield in columns!

Not only Song Tianbiao but also Zhu Zhihai saw the reinforcements arriving!

When Zhu Zhihai just heard the reconnaissance cavalry say that a large number of pseudo-Tang thieves and friendly troops appeared in the east, what was even more strange was that those friendly troops seemed to be heading towards him together with the pseudo-Tang thieves, with a total number of no less than 4,000 people. At that time, he just looked up and saw a small number of cavalry from the new Tang Dynasty on the hills to the east, and then a large number of infantry!

And among these infantrymen, only a small number of them are wearing the weird military uniforms of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, while more are wearing the military uniforms of the Ming army!

Seeing this scene, even the composure that I have practiced for the official for many years is useless, I just took a breath and said, "What's going on?"
