Chapter 620: Stay still

The heavy cavalry had already left the battlefield and went outside to rest. At this time, the people who were closely attached to the gap in the Ming army formation were all light cavalry from Huazhou. These guards were already excited to kill. The concave surface of the Ming army formation continued to expand. Every time a gap appeared, the guards who shot cold arrows behind would always fill in excitedly.

The loud shouts of the cavalry in Huazhou, blood splattered in front of him, and the more he killed, the more he became more and more excited, and the soldiers of the Ming army became more and more frightened. According to the pre-arrangement, the two wings of the Ming army should be surrounded at this time, surrounded the opponent's rushing team and annihilated with superior forces.

Such a tactic requires the central army to retreat and withdraw from a relatively spacious space when they are penetrated by the opponent so that the troops on both wings can be pushed up.

However, in the current situation, the light cavalry in Huazhou tightly clamped against the Ming army's central army like a blood-sucking leech. When the Ming army took a step back, they followed the steps forward. Most of the central army in the Ming army were infantry, while the light cavalry of Huazhou cavalry was far better than that of the speed and explosive power of the light cavalry in Huazhou.

Just holding it tightly can not only give full play to your advantage in the immediate condescending way, but also leave the long weapons in the Ming army without space to use.

Zhou Lin and a group of Ming generals looked at the scene here, anxious but had no choice. In this case, if even if he issued an order to retreat, the Ming army infantry who were resisting retreated or retreated, according to the cohesion of the Ming army, it would soon become a big collapse, and the entire formation would collapse. But in this situation, with the willpower and so-called spirit of the Ming army, the Ming army would not last long. To put it really badly, Zhou Lin was already very surprised that the Jizhen and Baoding soldiers of the Central Army had been supported for so long under the impact of the opponent's light cavalry.

The sound of fighting, the sound of weapons fighting, the sound of people and horses neighing, the whole battlefield was filled with these noisy sounds. Suddenly, the rumbling sound sounded like low thunder. I was watching the cavalry charging in Huazhou formation, and several infantry regiments began to move away from the formation and moved towards the front.

With uniform steps, square and straight line, several infantry regiments pressed forward with only tens of thousands of people, giving the Ming army the feeling that the opposite Ming army seemed to be coming over tens of thousands. The Central Army Front, which was originally struggling to support, finally couldn't stand the chopping and slaughter in front of him, and the momentum of the Huazhou square formation that was constantly approaching behind, each Ming army soldier in the Central Army, both physically and mentally, was under tremendous pressure.

Under such pressure, Ming Jun actually held on for a while, but around Zhou Lin, Ming slapped his face in a state of ashes, and Zhou Lin even slapped his hands on his forehead helplessly.

These generals have been in the army for many years and have a clear observation of the victory or defeat of the army. When they see such a situation, they will know what the victory or defeat is.

Sure enough, the situation was the same as they predicted. After a short time, with a loud bang, the central army, which was covered by the light cavalry, finally couldn't support it. The entire army was defeated, and the soldiers ran towards those without enemies. If someone blocked their way in front, they would slash them at the beginning.

Seeing the soldiers of the Ming army dispersed, the Huazhou Light Cavalry fighting there was even more morale, following behind to chase and kill. Most of the casualties in the war appeared when they were chasing and fleeing. Of course, this was no exception. Soldiers kept screaming and being killed by the cavalry who were chasing behind.

The central army was dispersed. Although the Ming army on both sides was still in complete organization, it was equivalent to being separated from the middle by the Huazhou army, which was extremely dangerous. The Ming army on both sides were extremely panicked. Seeing the defeated soldiers rushing to him, even though the officers issued an order to kill the riots.

However, there were too many defeated soldiers, and they also had weapons in their hands, which could resist. The two wings gradually became a mess, and their own people were fighting with them. The original defensive formation could not be set out, and they were caught up by the Huazhou Light Cavalry who followed behind.

Just now, when the Ming army was setting up its formation, the queues were very loose in order to prevent the artillery and various tactics of the Huazhou army. The officers were very troubled to control the troops. Just now, the central army gathered the queues to prevent the opponent's heavy cavalry from rushing to the formation, making their formation closer.

However, the formation of the two wings had not had time to prepare, and was already in chaos when the defeated soldiers on their own side rushed. When the opponent's cavalry arrived, the soldiers who could not be restrained even ran away with a loud bang.

At this time, except for the initial infantry regiments in Huazhou, the rest of the infantry teams also began to slowly press towards the Ming army in the rhythm of drums, which even faster the collapse of the Ming army. In fact, the light cavalry currently has no advantage of firearms, and the impact speed is getting smaller and smaller.

If the infantry of the Ming army turned around and fought, it might not be the result of failure. However, the battles of soldiers on this battlefield were supported by morale. The Ming army, who was so scared, did not have the courage to fight, especially when they saw the light cavalry slashing and slashing fiercely, the Huazhou infantry formation behind them was pressing over like a mountain. The psychological pressure and fear were constantly stacked up, and they could not bear it in their hearts, but the idea of ​​escaping was left.

The situation in the Huazhou Infantry Regiment can be described as ridiculous. The flintlock rifle has not been installed in the army because of its high cost and difficulty in manufacturing. Therefore, the musket used by the regular army is still a mesh rope gun. After the musket is loaded with a mesh, it must be ignited with a flint rope. Huazhou uses copper tube fire media, but the length of the flint rope is limited. If the fire media removes the lid, it will not be kept for too long.

After the ammunition was loaded, the fuse was lit or the cover of the fire medium was opened, and the pilot medicine was ready to ignite the pilot medicine to fire. However, the soldiers in the first row of the infantry regiment were advancing forward, but the Ming army was constantly retreating. In order to pay attention to pushing, the speed of the Huazhou army was constant and unfast, but the Ming army retreated rapidly. The distance between the two sides was always outside the range, and they could not shoot randomly outside the range. This is the military law of Huazhou.

But after walking three hundred steps, the formation of the Ming army was in chaos and widened, and some people had to use backups, and the fuse was burned to a standard length.

If the Ming army launched a counterattack at this time, the infantry regiment in Huazhou would be caught off guard. Maybe a very good result would appear. Of course, there is no if on the battlefield.

Thanks to the vastness of the North China Plain, the large army of such a large number of Ming troops stationed in Luanzhou suddenly collapsed. Looking around, they were all Ming troops running around. These so-called soldiers who were usually used as serfs and tenants could not withstand such iron and blood.

The light cavalry and infantry of the Huazhou Army were both a little surprised. Is it a victory or defeat? Although in the usual training, instructors and officers repeatedly instilled the idea that "the Ming army is corrupt and mostly unbearable to fight", these people were all people who came from the pass, and they always felt a sense of fear for the officers and soldiers.

Although many veterans gained confidence on the battlefield, most of them were just new recruits. Seeing the Ming army as large as this size, I felt a little nervous.

The charges of heavy cavalry and light cavalry made their fear disappear without a trace. When they started to advance, they saw this level of battle, and even had no hand-to-hand combat, the other party was already disintegrating into this way. Everyone felt a little strange in their hearts, and to be precise, a little funny. This battle seemed a bit too ridiculous.

There were defeated soldiers and deserters everywhere on the battlefield, but in the center of the Ming army formation just now, there was no movement. Zhou Lin and his generals were there. At this time, their faces became normal. Perhaps because things were already like this, there was no room for recovery, so everyone was cleared up.

Zhou Lin had been touching the horse's mane with his hands. The horse whip in his hand had long been thrown away and placed on the hilt of his knife. He looked back at the generals and said:

"I thought I could drag the other side, but I didn't expect that our army was so unbearable to fight. Now we can only fight to the death?"

This was extremely relaxed, as if he was going there to have fun. Some of the generals behind him spitted a bite at the edge and cursed:

"These bastards, looking at the soldiers who were holding swords and piercing their armor, but they started fighting, but they seemed like rabbits, running around the mountains and fields. What a fucking thing is the one who lost his ancestors!"

Zhou Lin laughed there, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, raised his fingers to the chaotic battlefield, and said with a smile:

"These soldiers are all farming above them. They are used to make money more and less when training and fighting?"

The officer who was swearing just now laughed and said:

"Shaanxi is poor and there are many Tartars. The men can't stop fighting. They have no time to farm and work. If they die like that, they will always think about being a landlord foreman..."

The dozen generals here burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed, as if they were not in the battlefield at this time, but in the teahouse and the wine shop.

The riots and defeated soldiers on the battlefield were gradually driven clean, and they died or surrendered. The horses of the Huazhou Light Cavalry were also a little tired. The continuous charge was still very exhausting, but the Huazhou cavalry no longer dared to move forward.

It seemed that the wind blew away the sand and soil, revealing the treasures buried in it. The Ming army dispersed, but a group of Ming troops remained motionless, as if they were mountains.

"Let's die here today?"

During that formation, Zhou Lin said calmly.
