When Hong Chengchou heard Li Zhi's words, he looked at Li Zhi in surprise.
"Can Xing Guobo's soldiers and horses be able to withstand it?"
Li Zhi said: "Of course my Huben Division can withstand such a small scene. The military gate should quickly withdraw the Chinese army behind the Huben Division."
Wu Sangui had never seen the combat effectiveness of the Huben Division. He looked at Li Zhi with some disbelief. He wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say it out. After holding back for a long time, Wu Sangui said: "Military gate, it is better to ride on the horse and command. If the troops break out and rush over,
, you can escape immediately on horseback.”
Obviously, Wu Sangui was still worried that Li Zhi's troops would be overwhelmed by the rout.
Hong Chengchou did not answer Wu Sangui's words. He looked at Li Zhi, gritted his teeth, waved his hand and said: "The 10,000 Chinese army will retreat and let the Huben division come up."
With the flags fluttering, the 10,000-strong Chinese army retreated, allowing the 15,000-strong Huben Division to move in front of the formation.
The Huben Division walked to the front of the Chinese army, and the trapping regiment was at the front of the team. The regiment leader Zhong Feng looked at the retreating troops getting closer and coldly snorted: "The mob!"
Zhong Feng waved his hand, "Fire the bayonet!"
The four thousand soldiers of the Formation Regiment installed bayonets on their rifles and raised their rifles in their hands. The blades flashed in front of the formation, and the sunlight reflected off the blades, reflecting a cold green light. The soldiers of the Formation Regiment lined up in front
Three rows of bayonets, more than a thousand meters long, were prepared to meet the impact of the rout.
Under the leisurely pursuit of five hundred Tatar cavalry, the thirty thousand broken troops rushed towards us like thirty thousand wild beasts.
The Tatar cavalry is well versed in chasing the defeated troops. They can neither push too hard nor stay too far away. They must maintain a certain amount of pressure to make the defeated soldiers afraid, but they must not make the defeated soldiers feel certain of death and turn back to resist. The Tatar cavalry
They are all veterans of hundreds of battles and are skilled in this hunting technique.
They were like herdsmen driving sheep, waving their swords to drive away the broken soldiers, killing those who were running slowly under their horses, and scaring the other broken soldiers into fleeing, rushing straight towards the direction of the Huben Division.
What the Tatars want to do is to expel the defeated troops and attack the center of the Ming army, overwhelming the entire Ming army.
However, Tiger Master is not so easy to defeat.
Trapped in the formation, Zhong Feng shouted: "Those who rush into the formation, behead them!"
Four thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Those who rush into the formation, behead them!"
The defeated soldiers rushed to the front of the trapped formation. Seeing the murderous aura here, they became a little panicked. They looked at the gleaming bayonet array and were a little scared. Some of the timid ones turned around and fled to both sides, trying to bypass the killing.
God-like soldiers of the trap group.
But there were still some soldiers who were frightened by the Tatar cavalry. They were afraid that they would be killed by the Tatar cavalry if they detoured to both sides, so they ran straight into the bayonet array of the trapping regiment. They hoped that the trapping regiment would collapse with them.
To avoid being attacked by the trap group, he shouted while charging: "We are defeated, run away!"
"The Tatars are coming, run away!"
Some Ming soldiers even waved their weapons at the trapping regiment, hoping to frighten the soldiers of the trapping regiment.
If an ordinary Ming army saw that the soldiers and horses in front were defeated, and the defeated soldiers shouted a few words like this, they would immediately lose their fighting spirit. The soldiers would feel that the battle was defeated, and if they did not flee, they would be killed by the enemy or be held hostage.
They were bundled up and fled to the rear. Even the Qing army, which was good at fighting, was defeated by Li Zhi at Qingshan Pass. The rear army that did not participate in the battle was bundled up and collapsed, and it collapsed for dozens of miles.
But Division Huben is different. Division Huben simply looks down on the other Ming armies and will not feel that the battle has been lost just because the Ming army collapsed.
Seeing the collapse of the 30,000 friendly troops in front, the soldiers of the trapped group were not affected at all, and their morale was strong and intact. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Huben Division, the other Ming troops and the soldiers of the Huben Division were two different species. As long as Li Xingguobo
If the flag is still standing in front of the formation, the soldiers of the Huben Division will not collapse and flee.
At a distance of one hundred meters, fifty meters, or twenty meters, the defeated troops were about to hit the bayonet array of the enemy formation.
Zhong Feng shouted: "Kill"
The horn of the trapping regiment sounded, and more than a thousand soldiers of the trapping regiment in the front row began to kill people. They spotted the rushing troops, took a big step forward, and stabbed forward with the bayonets in their hands.
The soldiers of the Huben Division conduct drills every day. In addition to target practice, they also practice field marching and bayonet fighting. The soldiers in the formation regiment are all veterans who have been in the camp for more than a year. They practice bayonet fighting skills almost every day and are very proficient.
At this time, thousands of troops rushed forward in unison, stabbing accurately and hard. They only regarded the defeated soldiers as enemies and specially selected the key points to stab.
The effect of training every day is vastly different from that of the Ming army who trained every few days. With the bayonets thrust through them, the defeated Ming army could not escape at all.
Some of the defeated soldiers were wearing cotton armor, and some only had a mandarin duck jacket. None of them could withstand the thrust of the bayonet. Only screams were heard, and the bayonet penetrated the heart, throat, chest and abdomen of the defeated soldiers.
The soldiers of the Trapping Regiment immediately put away their guns after stabbing him and pulled the bayonets out of the wound.
As soon as the blade was retracted, blood rushed out with the blade. Cowardly lives were lost in these simple actions. In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred soldiers died in front of the bayonet formation of the trapped group.
The defeated soldiers were instantly suppressed by this iron-blooded enemy group. The killing efficiency was even more powerful than the Tatar artillery. How could the defeated soldiers behind dare to attack the Huben Division? The defeated soldiers saw the two soldiers on the ground.
There were more than a hundred corpses, their faces turned pale with fear. As if a raging tide had encountered a solid rock, they circled around in panic one by one, and fled in both directions under the pressure of the Tatar cavalry.
When Hong Chengchou saw that the defeated troops were separated by Li Zhi's Huben division, he breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the Chinese army was free from worries.
He bowed his hands to Li Zhi and said: "To kill the enemy on the battlefield, we really still have to rely on Uncle Xing Guo's iron army. If it weren't for Uncle Xing's iron army here, the Chinese army would have been completely defeated by now."
Li Zhi said calmly: "The military sect has given me an award."
When Yang Guozhu saw that the defeated troops were no longer attacking the Chinese army, he loosened his grip on the horse's reins and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, Uncle Xing Guo is here, otherwise we would have to flee in a hurry!"
Wu Sangui blinked his eyes, looked at the calm Li Zhi, and took a breath. For the first time, Wu Sangui knew that the army could maintain high morale in the face of a defeated army twice his size, and that military discipline and morale could reach such a high level.
Level. Wu Sangui looked at Li Zhi's Tiger Soldiers with an eager light in his eyes.
Wu Sangui was also a military attache, so he never wanted to have such an iron army.
However, although the defeated troops did not dare to attack the Chinese army and the Huben Division, they still fled southward under the driving force of the Tatars. Zhong Feng looked at the Tatar cavalry driving the defeated troops, snorted coldly, and shouted loudly:
"Third row reloads!"
The flag was fluttered and Zhong Feng's order was passed on.
