Chapter 591 Collision

Li Gufeng had already raised his hand and was about to issue an order to advance, but although he could clearly hear the sound of killing, the Huazhou formation on the opposite side was already safe and could not see the impact of the flanks after the attack. Finally, it became quiet again. At this time, it was not only the Huazhou army standing in sternly.

Even the Liao Town soldiers were extremely quiet. Everyone knew the fate of the soldiers on the flanks. The Liao Town general Li Gufeng turned to his head to the staff who had been recording by the side, and said calmly:

"Today I will record everything you see and hear in detail. If the army fights today, I will send someone to escort you to the capital."

When he heard his words, not only his aides, but also his personal soldiers around him looked at Li Gufeng in surprise. The general of Liao Town did not feel that he had said anything unlucky, but continued:

"This Huazhou soldiers are so powerful that I only see this in my life, and the Ming Dynasty is dangerous."

This is said at this time. Afterwards, whether it is a leading civil servant or a military eunuch, he can be punished with this, but it is difficult to say whether there is any incident or not.

The soldiers in the front brigade of the Ming army were already ready to charge, but they did not expect that they had not waited for the order to charge, but instead began to move forward slowly.

A cavalry raised his flag and walked out of the military formation of Huazhou, slowly mobilized his horse stance and walked towards the Ming army. The drum sound began to sound for the first time. The drum sound began to be a little noisy, and slowly became neatly and in a row. A few shouts could be heard from afar. It must be that the Huazhou army was giving orders.

Accompanied by the rumbling drums, under the guidance of the flag-holding cavalry in front of him, a part of the Huazhou formation slowly split into pieces and walked towards the Ming army.

The general of Liao Town, Li Gufeng, was already riding a horse and walking towards the front of the formation. The deputy generals and generals followed by each returned to their posts to command. Beside him, only Li Gufeng's personal guards and the direct subordinates of the personal soldiers. Seeing the Huazhou army's start attack, the general of Liao Town said in a low voice:

"The opponent's troops are strong and the weapons are strong, but this general may not know the troops. At this time, they are obviously the ones who have the victory, so why don't they use artillery attacks and why don't they use cavalry, but they send these seven or eight thousand infantry forward. Do you want to quench the morale raised by the army?"

After talking to himself, orders were passed down, and the Ming army brigade also began to mobilize and slowly moved forward. The coach here was confused, but Jiang Feng on the other side sat firmly as a mountain, holding a horse whip in his hand and pointed:

"These five infantry regiments, eight thousand people, are a moving fortress, step by step, and they are invincible."

"Why wouldn't it be faster if you use cannons or direct cavalry attacks? Such infantry attacks, although our Huazhou firearms are excellent, will eventually lead to casualties."

Only Liu Shier can speak like this in Huazhou. Jiang Feng didn't care, but instead explained with a smile:

"Sir, I don't know that marching and fighting, morale, equipment, and right time and place are all the keys to victory or defeat. In my opinion, there are many factors in our Huazhou. However, this strong soldier can only be produced in blood and fire. Huazhou Erlang is top in all aspects, just go to the battlefield and practice less. Such soldiers are stubborn. If they don't have the experience in this battle, when will they be?"

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Liu Shisan sighed in his heart. Although he felt sorry for the lives of those young men, he also knew that such actions were necessary to form an army and could not do anything.

The troops of both sides were approaching, and the cavalry in Liao Town rushed out in one go. At the front were the decisive cavalry led by Li Liang, with four hundred Huazhou soldiers, and each four teams and one regiment. However, the organization of this regiment is always called a brigade, corresponding to the organization of that regiment.

Because firearms are an important part of the Huazhou army, only when firearms are fired in the same step can the maximum firepower density and damage on one surface, so the requirements for the soldiers' pace and queue are extremely strict. Of course, queue training is to let soldiers know how to obey orders, know that they are a member of the organization, and even physical training is of great benefit.

After such training, the soldiers' movements were uniform and not at all messy. With the sound of drums, the Ming army did not pay so much attention to it. Speaking of which, Qi Jiguang was just a child at this time, and it was still early to write the so-called "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "State Training of Military Training". Of course, it is still unknown whether it can be written in this era.

In these two books, Qi Jiguang repeatedly emphasized that on the battlefield, personal bravery is useless. It is said that "the formation is different from the ability to capture small thieves in the field, and in a dignified formation, hundreds of people line up in front of the line, the brave are not allowed to come first, and the cowards are not allowed to come back, the guns are poked, the guns are poked, the swords are slashed, and the killing is returned to him. It is just a matter of moving forward together, and it is difficult to turn hands. How can you allow the left and right to jump? One person turns back, the public is suspicious, and the public moves in a step, and the public also wants to seize the heart, so how can you allow either burst or retreat."

When Qi Jiguang was training troops, he found that the original guard soldiers and the Ming army committee were really unbearable, so he recruited miners and villagers to train them into an army. This also shows a problem. At this time, the Ming army had been peaceful and the weak of the enemy for several years, which made them no longer accustomed to such military battles. Field wars were normal.

So later, Qi Jiguang wanted to write a book to emphasize this issue. This was the battlefield at this time. The people walking forward in the Ming army started to walk neatly. Later, some were fast and some were slow, and the queue at the front was already crooked and distorted.

Looking at the Huazhou army opposite, they were all integrated, as if they were pressing over like mountains. As the distance approached, each step was like more than 8,000 Huazhou took that step at the same time. The ground trembled slightly. Although the two sides had not yet confronted each other face to face, the eight thousand Huazhou army had completely gained an advantage in terms of momentum.

Everyone has forgotten that the number of Ming army was completely greater than that of Huazhou army. The Huazhou army was only eight thousand, but its momentum was like a mountain.

The soldiers of the Ming army looked at the opponent's armor and weapons, and then looked at the cotton armor on their bodies, with some rusted spears and knives and axes, and their hearts were even more agitated. Some people slowed down, and some were still cheering themselves up and fighting, but now the front was in chaos.

Because of the firearms of the Huazhou Army, the distance between the two sides has not been too close. Li Liang's decisive horse team has always been at the forefront of the team. When Li Liang was not convicted, he was also a general in Liao Town. Naturally, he knew how to observe the situation of victory or defeat. He came back and forth in a few moments. He knew that he was afraid that he would have no hope of making meritorious deeds. He just wanted to die on the battlefield. The crime of defeat should not be implicated in his family.

The horses at the beginning had already run away. At this time, the horses started running wildly with just a few whips. The Ming army of six or seven hundred cavalry showed its rare bravery at this time, and rushed towards the Huazhou army formation in front of them almost indomitable.

The knight who was holding the flag at the front of the Huazhou Army had already stopped. Standing at that point, while he stopped, the Huazhou Army's formation began to slowly unfold, gradually divided from the original one into five infantry regiments, and then the distance between each regiment was slowly widened, and divided into a team of 400 people.

In this way, the front line has gradually lengthened, and it has three infantry regiments in front and two behind. The cavalry holding the flag stands in the center of the front and back. This cavalry not only guides, but also serves as a positioning point. Everything in Huazhou is focused on using, and there is no equipment specifically for ceremonial guards.

At this time, the officers on the Ming army knew why the sneak attack cavalry on the right wing had no effect. Under the roar of the muskets of the three infantry regiments, the cavalry led by Li Liang was like the ice and snow in the midsummer sun, instantly melting and evaporating without a trace. They charged one after another and fell in front of the position one after another.

The drums sounded again and again, and the three infantry regiments of the Huazhou Army began to slowly press forward. The distance between the two sides was enough for the infantry to charge. At this time, the Ming army was in a dilemma. Looking at the cavalry in front, he knew that going forward would be a death.

But when he turned around, he was full of swords and guns. But when he turned around, something strange happened. Many soldiers were hesitating and saw the other party approaching step by step, but their own fronts stopped moving. At this time, the Ming army officer was already forced to do nothing.

Several generals of the Qianmai were directly attacked by the officers and soldiers leading the team with their swords and killed dozens of people. Only then did the Ming army start to advance.

The Huazhou army in front of him had already stopped, and the Ming army was still hesitatingly walking forward. Within a hundred steps, many Ming soldiers had already started running, shouting to cheer themselves up, and the Ming army's war drums were also ringing loudly, with amazing momentum.

The drum sounds in Huazhou suddenly stopped, and the soldiers of the Huazhou army stopped, raised their muskets and fired them, and rotated them back and forth. It was difficult for Ming soldiers to take a step forward, and they were all knocked to the ground by the muskets. After the first wave of charge, these people no longer had the courage to charge.

The opponent's soldiers rushed over with expressionless muskets like water splashing. The Ming army retreated step by step, and retreated became escape, and escape became dispersed. The drum sounded, and the Huazhou army continued to move forward, and the Ming army retreated step by step.

The distance between them has never been shortened to a hundred steps...
