A militia regiment, 3,600 men, ran into 4,000 banner men of the Zhenglan Banner. There were 20 Niu Lu in total. Because the guards were all cavalry, they were transferred to form a cavalry unit. So each Niu Lu was left with 200 flags.
Ding, they are both infantry and heavy infantry.
The second and third regiments of the militia fought against two other Han army flag phalanxes of 3,000 men respectively. For these Han army flags, a phalanx of 3,000 men was equivalent to 15 Niu Lu. One Niu Lu of the Han army was the same as that of the Mongols.
There are 200 people in all.
There is also a 3,000-strong Han army flag phalanx, which Degelei keeps as a reserve.
Once danger arises where it cannot be contained, add it there.
At this time, Derger no longer had any contempt for him. He knew that it was unknown whether he would be able to walk off this battlefield alive today.
Even if they defeated the enemy in front of them, the artillery behind them would fire fiercely. They would have to deal with them from above. These soldiers were completely different from the Ming soldiers he had seen.
He knew clearly that these people would never cause chaos as soon as the Eight Banners charged, and turn around and run away before they could reach them. Until now, these people have not seen anyone escape.
The 1st Infantry Regiment withstood the greatest pressure, with 3,600 men, fighting against 4,000 Jianu headquarters bannermen, and they were still soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner who fought in hundreds of battles.
The first three rows of Jiannu were all armed with 4.5-meter spears. The fourth, fifth, and sixth rows all held bows and arrows, waiting for opportunities to shoot the militiamen in the back. There were also people in the back armed with long knives, iron forks and other weapons.
Jiannu understood that to deal with such a tight military formation, he must form a military formation and confront the opponent. Jiannu's lance was a full 4.5 meters long, much longer than a halberd.
At the beginning of the stabbing confrontation, the militiamen found that their weapons were one-third shorter than the opponent's, and they were at a disadvantage. The swords of the slaves were stabbed into their own plate armor, and Party B could not reach the opponent.
Fortunately, the strength of aluminum alloy armor is still good, many times stronger than steel. Although Jiannu's arm strength is terrifying, it is not up to the level of firearms that can make aluminum alloy plate armor brittle and break.
On the other two sides, the 23rd Regiment of the Militia quickly gained the upper hand against the Han banner. The two wings were making good progress, while the middle regiment was in a tough fight.
Zhou Yuji saw that this was not possible. He was an old-school general, not the officers and soldiers under Yang Fan who were often trained. He did not know the performance of aluminum alloy plate armor.
In his opinion, no armor could stop a spear with a strengthened tip, and as he was from the Northeast, he knew clearly that Jiannu's physical strength was amazing. He felt that if he stabbed him like this, he would soon be completely defeated.
"Change the formation, each group is a unit, and become a wedge formation."
The smallest formation of the wedge formation is composed of ten people. It is divided into four rows, with 1234 people forming four rows, forming an equilateral triangle.
This military formation is equally thick no matter which side the attack is from. And as long as everyone turns to one side, the direction of the attack can be changed. It is a very flexible and adjustable formation.
As the bugle sounded, apart from the first row continuing to fight, the groups behind immediately separated from the squadron and quickly formed countless small wedge formations.
Then, the people in the first row quickly backed away. Back away.
Jian Nu had just speared many times, and when the two sides' weapons were blocking each other, they stabbed the opponent's armor. However, the opponent's armor was different from his own.
My armor is made of cloth, and between the two layers of cotton armor is iron armor. There are gaps in these armor pieces. Although the upper armor piece presses the lower armor piece when weaving it, when the spear is thrust, it still
It will damage the nail plate and pierce it.
But for the enemy on the opposite side, their armor and stomach were actually made of large pieces of metal. There was actually a whole piece of metal between the chest and abdomen. This surprised the Eight Banners. They had never seen such an armor and stomach before.
Moreover, these armor stomachs have arc-shaped surfaces, just like these people have big beer bellies. If the tip of the spear is pierced on it, it will be scratched by the polished smooth surface and there will be no force.
But fortunately, the opponent's weapon is shorter than his own spear, which is as long as a person's height, so the opponent's halberd cannot pierce his body.
Suddenly, the enemy's bugle was heard. Then the first row of halberdiers quickly retreated.
The bannermen were overjoyed. These southern barbarians could not bear it anymore. Then they rushed over bravely.
As soon as they rushed in, they discovered that the back turned into countless small triangular formations. When the flagmen rushed in, they immediately fell into a state of facing multiple enemies, no longer stabbing each other head-on.
The militiamen of the first regiment were like rocks surrounded by raging floods, trapped in the siege of the Zhenglan Banner. Since there was a small distance between the small square formations, they were only five to six meters wide.
Although it doesn't look too narrow, it can be passed on a large scale.
But the flag men who rushed in immediately felt that in this alley, the spear could not be extended, and they were immediately attacked from the side.
The halberds stabbed from both sides easily pierced Qiding's armor and stomach. The reason why this five-six-meter-wide alley was left for them was because the halberd was more than three meters long. It was just convenient for the halberds on both sides.
Assassinate them.
The charging Jiannu were stabbed from the side one after another. The lower rib area of the cloth mask was very weak compared to the front. This was a problem shared by the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu cloth masks.
Derge looked at the formation change on the opposite side with a solemn expression. The general on the opposite side was a master. He saw that the people who stabbed him did not have an advantage. He immediately changed the formation. Now it was his own person's turn to suffer a loss because Qi Ding
They all rushed in.
The spear inside cannot be used. When attacked from the side, the situation reverses immediately.
After many people were stabbed to death during the advance, the bannermen immediately formed a group to protect each other.
Zhou Yuji, the commander of the cavalry drama, immediately blew the bugle.
It is very easy to change the direction of a triangle. As long as everyone turns around, it is seen that the wedge formations at different levels have begun to change and are no longer uniform.
Counting from the front to the back, the even-numbered wedge-shaped formation changed from the formation facing the front to the formation facing the side, and then the tip of the triangle faced the incoming Jiannu column, charging horizontally. Suddenly, the Jiannu column was rushed in, one by one.
Cut horizontally.
Jian Nu, who rushed in, immediately found himself in a dilemma with enemies on all sides.
Jiannu began to panic. In such a highly mobile formation, if he was not careful, he would be stabbed down by a halberd that came from nowhere.
What's more terrifying is yet to come. Under the constant command of the Chinese army's whistle, these small wedge-shaped formations continue to change the direction of impact according to different rules, sometimes moving in a circular motion, and sometimes moving horizontally. Moreover, the formation can suddenly change at any time.
Change the direction of attack.
After a few times, Jian Nu, who rushed in, was so disoriented that he couldn't even tell the direction.
At this time, the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment had completely suppressed the two 3,000-man phalanxes of the Han Army Banner.
The more Degerei watched, the more frightened he became. He couldn't let anything happen to these twenty Niulu infantry. If something happened, Zhenglan Banner would be doomed.
"The whole army is pressing forward, rushing in to meet the Zhenglan Banner." He immediately ordered the reserve team of the last phalanx to rush towards the small wedge formation to meet the twenty Niulu infantry of the Zhenglan Banner.
