Chapter 337 Breaking the Formation

The sharp cannons kept roaring, and under the cover of artillery fire, the Ming army's vehicle formation finally entered the range of insurgent bows. The tiger squat cannons at the front of the Han army, and a small number of bowl-mouth guns opened fire, knocking down the Korean soldiers stranded on the battlefield, and several howling.

The shield chariot was beaten and the Zhejiang soldiers also suffered casualties. The Qi-shaped flag on the front line swayed, and the archers hiding behind the chariot array lined up to hit arrows and shot them. The arrows were like rain, and the trains were pushed out one after another.

Hundreds of trains were pushed within range, and from time to time, train soldiers were knocked down by sled, rolling and screaming. More train soldiers lit gunpowder twists and fled back to the car formation without looking back. The two armies were whistling.

Money was shrouded in the smoke, and the flames flashed in the smoke, and heavy armor-breaking arrows dragged their long tail flames and flew out. Hundreds of trains were launched at the same time. The rockets fired by gunpowder were extremely powerful, like flames and silver snakes everywhere.

Randomly. A Han army battle formation in front of the sudden ended in pain, and the Han soldiers wearing cotton armor on the front were shot in a miserable way.

The Han army on the left and right sides finally couldn't help but organize a counterattack under the command of the Han army commander. After a while, the armored man in heavy armor held a large iron shield to fight, forming several black shield walls, pressing against the

The dense arrows pressed towards the Ming military vehicle formation. The armor-breaking arrows shot on the large iron shield and made a jingle sound. However, because it was a throwing shot from the sky, the armored soldiers hiding behind the shield fell from time to time, and most of them were inserted into the body.

Arrow.

The Ming army was also in a mess, with a large number of gunmen and gunners lit the fuse rope and fire twists. Another burst of smoke came everywhere. A large number of tiger squatting cannons in the Ming army's chariot formation, and a small number of turtledove-footed guns caused great damage to the armored soldiers who rushed to the formation.

The seemingly very strong iron shields were all broken by the sharp tiger squatting cannons and turtledove-footed guns. After the cannon fire, a large number of bird guns were fired one after another, which looked very loud and lethal but extremely poor.

However, at a distance of one or two hundred steps, the bird gun could not break the armor at all, and it was no threat to the Jianlu armored soldiers holding a large iron shield.

The actual combat has fully proved that the heavy firepower exerted by heavy infantry is the correct way to fight for hegemony in Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty. The tactics of the Jianlu armored soldiers rushing to the formation, and the invading bow ejection made the Ming army's vehicle formation loose. If it were replaced by another Ming army, it would be immediately

The entire army collapsed. Fortunately, the Zhejiang soldiers and Guizhou chieftain soldiers were all well-trained elite soldiers in a hundred battles. They quickly loaded in the rain of arrows from the Han army's counterattack. They also had several rounds of heavy firepower volleys, and used the Jianlu Armored Soldiers with a strict formation.

The array was as if it had been gnawed by a dog, with a lot of potholes.

The big flag of Qi was waving, and the bird gunmen grabbed the swords, shields, axes, and armor-breaking cones. The battalion of five hundred Ming soldiers who were resting on the ground also sat up. The front row raised the shields and the back row raised the guns to form a gun array. One was to start

The second is to lie in front of the commander's flag to prevent the enemy soldiers from killing the generals and seizing the flag. Among the chariot formation, the Zhejiang soldiers quickly formed the best mandarin duck formation, waiting for the upcoming hand-to-hand combat, outside the formation, not

The fierce armored soldiers had already dropped their iron shield and launched a charge. Pingping and the bird gun fought hard for another round, and at a distance of thirty or fifty steps, they finally caused huge damage to the armored soldiers.

The war horses neighed, and the Han army's armored soldiers used war horses to break through several gaps in the chariot formation.

The bird gun finally fired a bean-burning sound for a while, and then the bird gun gunner's shrill screams came. The Han army armored soldiers who broke through the formation slashed and killed wildly, instantly shaking the Zhejiang soldiers' defense.

The heavy infantry crushed the light infantry, causing great casualties to the Zhejiang soldiers who formed the Yuanyang Formation to fight. Fortunately, the chariot formation was basically complete, and the armored soldiers could only pour in through a few forced opening gaps.

, Zhejiang soldiers and Guizhou soldiers blocked the gap tightly, fighting one by three or four, or even a dozen, barely blocking the fierce impact of the armored soldiers.

The cruel melee battle made the king and minister of Li Chao tremble, making Ma Cheng's face gloomy and ugly. Heavy infantry crushed the light infantry, and it was helpless. It was not that he could fight by just pulling a strong man on heavy armor. Heavy armor infantry training

It is very difficult, and even ten soldiers in the guards cannot pick out one. A soldier must wear more than thirty kilograms of heavy armor, and can also lift a large iron shield, and swing an axe and a knife weighing more than ten kilograms.

.

The thin and wise man who farmed all his life and the Liaodong mountain people who were born with wild animals are completely incomparable. Therefore, we can understand why Qi Jiguang and Qi Dashen wanted to recruit Zhejiang miners to form an army, so that strong miners can have such a body

Quality. More and more armored soldiers rushed into the chariot formation. The morale of the Han army that followed suit was greatly boosted. The Ming army's chariot formation was shaking. Macheng's face was useless and the central army was dismounted from the horse's iron cavalry to fight in the field.

A thousand central cavalry quickly formed a gun formation and advanced in rows of neat steps. The city gate opened wide in the distance from Yizhou. Yuetuo, the master of the inlaid red flag, finally couldn't hold back. The cavalry wanted to leave the city.

Winning indiscriminately, the city gate was blocked by six cannons of the Ming army and blasted hard for several rounds. Dozens of cavalry were killed and injured and then retracted back to Yizhou. This stupid behavior caused the morale of 20,000 Han soldiers to plummet, and followed the Ming army

The armored soldiers who dismounted the horse and stole into the chariot formation. The armored soldiers of the Han army, which failed to form, finally used their last strength and were smashed, knocked over, and stabbed to death. The Han army, who followed the camp, lost the courage to break the formation and still fell into slump.

The colleagues in the chariot formation turned around and fled. Jianlu was defeated. The armored soldiers trapped in the chariot formation had no way to survive. Heavy infantry also had their own fatal weaknesses. Once they were trapped, they could only wait for death. The tide-like Han army was a tide.

When they escaped back to the starting point, the number of people was significantly smaller.

The king and minister of the Li Dynasty were stunned and watched as the gates of Yizhou opened wide. Large groups of red flag soldiers swarmed out and retreated towards Shenyang all over the mountains. Then the Mongolian army also ran away. The remaining Han army did not run slowly, and they still lost their baggage.

He rushed into Yizhou City and fled west through the unstable Yizhou City along the open gate. Many Han soldiers shouted in the Qianli Miles, hoping that their master Kaien could cover the defeated Han army.

Ma Cheng almost glared out his eyes and fled. Is this still the fierce Eight Banners soldiers? The front line was still fighting fiercely and the Ming army was unable to pursue them. Only the two wings were responsible for monitoring the battlefield and the cavalry responded quickly. The two wings surrounded the Han army's tail.

After biting off a piece, nearly 10,000 Han troops still fled. Ma Cheng was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he was unable to expand the results of the battle. He could only order to clear the battlefield and eat the fat meat in his mouth as soon as possible.

The master fled, and the eight banners of the Han army surrendered one after another, losing the courage to resist. Ma Cheng suddenly realized that the Han army's hardness and courage were given by the master. After the master fled, the Han army, who had been hard and hard, immediately changed.

Becoming a soft-legged shrimp is the distinctive feature of the slave army.

At night, the city of Yizhou is brightly lit.

Clearing the battlefield was a heavy task, but the Korean army happily took it over. The horse team went out everywhere, and the soldiers entered the mountains to clear out the remaining Han army defeated soldiers. The Han army in each banner had more than 2,000 corpses and more than 5,000 prisoners.
