"Sir, the yellow flag has moved, the yellow flag has moved!"
As soon as the Jiannu cavalry on the slope moved, the sharp-eyed Huang An shouted. From the opponent's flag, he recognized at a glance that it was the yellow flag of Jiannu.
The Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner are the two flags personally controlled by Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty. They belong to the Royal Forest Army among the Eight Banners, and their combat power is superior to the other six banners.
Shi Dayong did not dare to take it lightly. The provocation was enough and the contempt was enough. The spirit of Songshan Army was pushed to the limit by his almost crazy behavior.[
Now is the real decisive battle, and it will also be the baptism for the Songshan Army to become a strong army.
Defeat, I will eliminate all corpses; victory, I will have a strong army.
"Set up the formation!"
Shi Dayong quickly ordered, Huang An, Shao Wu, Ma Zhong, Shi Hai and other officers were busy arranging the team, and in a moment, the defense line was set up again.
Dozens of Jiannu corpses in front of the battle line made everyone in Songshan feel excited. The fact that they had no casualties increased their confidence.
The soldiers were no longer as fearful as before. In their hearts, there was a firm idea at this moment - it turns out that Jiannu was not invincible!
After witnessing the Xianghuang Banner suddenly split into two groups and attack the two wings of Songshan, Shi Dayong shouted loudly at Huang An: "Huang An, all the Tatars are coming. Whether our Songshan Army can win or not depends entirely on you!"
"
Huang An thrust the big knife into the ground with all his strength and said without looking back: "Don't worry, sir, but as long as I, Huang An, am here, my Wu Ziying will not collapse!"
Shi Dayong ordered again: "Yongziying, abandon the blunderbuss and give me a broadsword to chop off Jiannu's neck!"
Upon hearing this order, Shao Wu, the commander-in-chief of Yongziyingying, was stunned for a moment, and the three general commanders were also stunned, but soon followed the instructions and ordered the soldiers to immediately throw away the firecrackers and replace them with long knives.
The long knife, the standard equipment of the Ming army, is more than three feet long and has an extremely sharp blade. It can cut a human head as neatly as a melon.
The knife is the king of weapons, the first choice for killing enemies on the battlefield, and the best combat tool in the cold weapon era.
However, the three hundred long knives in the hands of the Yongzi camp were all the property of the Songshan Army. Except for the officers, the entire army could no longer find one. Even the cavalry battalion did not have long knives, but only one in each hand.
A three-eyed fire gun.
Shi Dayong sacrificed Wuziying in order to let everyone in Yongziying have a long knife. In addition to long wood and playing cards, Wuziying only had a dagger for cutting people's heads.
If Wuziyingfa could withstand the Eight Banners cavalry, they would be swallowed up by the cavalry in an instant and would not even have the ability to fight back.
This arrangement of depriving three hundred soldiers of their ability to fight back was obviously top-heavy, but Shi Dayongnai did not have enough weapons to provide them to his soldiers.
Qiu Hejia could provide 600 cotton armor and 300 playing cards, but he could not provide the long knives and spears that Shi Dayong wanted because this required the consent of Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong administrator.
Throughout Liaodong, long swords are in short supply, and not all of Liaodong's elites have enough, let alone Songshan's troops from within the pass.[
In fact, the Ming Dynasty had enough iron tools and enough craftsmen to build weapons for the front line. However, I don’t know which dynasty started, but the weapon manufacturing of the Ministry of Industry and Nanzhen Fusi turned out to be focused on firearms. The officials of the imperial court would rather spend
He spent a lot of money to buy red cannons and build thousands of fire blunderbuss that could only be used once. He also refused to listen to the suggestions of the generals and build sharp swords for them.
Perhaps there are some time-travelers among those adults, otherwise why would they be so fond of firearms? Sometimes, Shi Dayong has this sense of self-deprecation.
Of course, it is right to make firearms. The illustrious achievements of Wanli's three major expeditions show that firearms are indeed ahead of the times. However, the damn craftsman system has turned firearms into fire sticks and "explosives" that soldiers dare not even aim at.
stick".
Nay, very nay.
Shi Dayong can only hope to change in the future, but now, he must do this.
Concentrate all your strength to deliver a fatal blow.
Shi Dayong thought it was right to ask Yongziying to throw away the firecrackers and instead use broadswords to fight the enemy. Instead of letting the soldiers rush to reload gunpowder, it would be better to rush up and chop down the horses when the Eight Banners soldiers fell into the long logs of Wuziying.
people.
The effect is definitely better than a round of fire cannons that only injure a dozen Eight Banners soldiers, Shi Dayong thought.
Whether it was really what he thought could be verified immediately, because the Manchu soldiers with yellow and red flags had already charged forward.
A bloody battle is about to break out.
Jiang Wanli, who was behind the formation, had already sent two groups of people to ask Shi Dayong for instructions on when the cavalry battalion would attack, but Shi Dayong's reply was just "wait".
………
The red flag on the front also rushed up. After completing the acceleration, their forward was less than fifty steps away from Wu Ziying.
The tide of shouts of killing became stronger and louder than before, and the momentum was far greater than before.
Songshan Jun concentrated his energy up and down and breathed in, not even moving.
Shi Dayong took a long breath, and the long knife in his hand trembled slightly.
After settling for a moment, he walked forward and walked straight into the Wu Zi Camp, and then stood there in fear.
Behind him, Guo Yi and his soldiers guarded the surroundings nervously.
…………
The yellow flag was approaching fiercely, and it was bigger than the red flag. Shi Dayong thought that the opponent would rush up directly, and combined with the red flag in front of them, they would defeat the Songshan Army in a three-sided attack.
"Prepare!"
At Huang An's signal, the commanders of Wuzi Camp B and C, Guo Er and Shi Hai, waved their right hands, preparing to order their soldiers to perform the good show of Team A holding up sticks to resist the enemy.[
"Woo! Woo!"
Within a distance of less than fifty steps, the cavalry with yellow flags on both wings suddenly let out strange screams. Everyone in the Songshan Army, including Shi Dayong, was prepared to watch them being skewered into meat skewers. Unexpectedly, the other party was more than thirty steps away.
At a distance, he suddenly drew a long bow from behind, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the Songshan Army without even taking aim.
"ah!"
A soldier from Team C was hit in the face by an arrow. He didn't even scream and fell to the ground.
The Eight Banners soldiers did not show any signs before they fired their arrows. Shi Dayong always thought that they were charging directly, so he did not prepare in advance at all.
Fortunately, there were not many soldiers with yellow flags on the two wings, and I had already equipped the soldiers with cotton armor, so except for those who were shot directly in the face, most of the soldiers who were hit by arrows were hit by arrows on their shoulders.
But Jiannu's arrow was very powerful, and when the arrow fell down, the whole arrow disappeared.
Almost in the blink of an eye, more than thirty soldiers on the left and right wings fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and their painful shoulders could no longer support the long wood.
"Raise your shield, raise your shield!"
The officers kept shouting, and soon, cards were lifted one after another, covering the sky above their heads. But occasionally, two or three arrows that looked like eyes fell from the gaps, slandering the Songshan soldiers.
After the first round of firing, the cavalrymen with yellow flags skillfully slowed down their horses. Except for those in front, all those behind jumped off their horses. They did nothing but shoot the arrows in their hands at Songshan Army.
.
The cards were densely connected one after another, and soon they were pierced with arrows one after another.
With the special protection of bows and arrows, the second and third teams of Wuziying on both wings gradually stabilized their position after suffering about fifty casualties.
After Shi Dayong dodged two sharp arrows to the left and right, he raised his eyes and calmed down a little. The Eight Banners soldiers with yellow flags seemed to show no sign of rushing up immediately. If they just fired arrows like this, they would not be able to attack the Songshan Army.
Cannot pose a fatal threat.
However, he soon discovered that he had thought wrong. When several screams came from behind him, his face turned pale - those Manchurian soldiers with yellow flags gave up attacking the Wuzi camp protected by shields, and instead attacked the Wuzi camp without shields.
Any protected Yongzi camp and the supply camp and civilians in the vehicle array fired arrows.
