Chapter 793 Jinling Spring Formation Nine
The dense Han soldiers came out of the camp and hurriedly gathered for breakfast. When the whistle sounded, they all got up and gathered to the camp, giving the place to the soldiers of the next camp.
There are tens of thousands of troops, and whatever they do will reflect the quality of the army.
More than 100,000 Han troops went out to the camp after dinner. After one camp, they immediately made room for the next camp, and everything was fine.
In less than an hour, the 100,000 Han troops finished their breakfast and completed their assembly outside the camp.
Such qualities are enough to be proud of the world.
In this battle, Zhao Ming left behind 30,000 Han troops to guard the Zhenjiang line, guarded the enemy in Maoshan, raided Daying and Zhenjiang, invaded Su Songchang, and led only 100,000 troops out of the camp.
Including the 12,000 people who set out in advance last night, the Han army sent more than 110,000 troops. According to the information, the Ming army that fought against it was between 150,000 and 200,000, and there may be more.
At this time, the organization of the 100,000 army and the 33 battalions stretched for more than ten miles just by setting them out.
In the wilderness, bayonets were like clusters, flags covered the sky, and cavalry ran between the formations, passing military orders, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
It is no different from a war of tens of thousands of people and a decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops. The troops and horses only open up, occupying an area of dozens of miles or even nearly a hundred miles. It is impossible to command the entire army by relying solely on the flag and drums. Important military orders can only be conveyed through cavalry.
The thirty-three square formations of the Han army were exactly the opposite of the Ming army's arrangement. Zheng Chenggong defended the north and attacked the south, and placed the heavy troops on the southern line, while Zhao Ming attacked the north and defended the south, focusing on the plains, making a frontal breakthrough.
At this time, in the wilderness to the south, the elite Han army soldiers of ten battalions all had the Green Dragon Banner, led by the left army general Tang Tong, and arranged double horizontal formations, crossed from west to east in the wilderness, responsible for monitoring and resisting the enemies in Maoshan.
The Han army of the 20th battalion was arranged in the north and was personally led by King Zhao Ming of Han. It was arranged into five columns from north to south. Each column had four square formations, and would break through the front Zheng Chenggong's formation and pounce on Nanjing.
In addition, the cavalry of two battalions and the navy of one battalion are arranged by the river.
When the Han army soldiers were lined up, 60,000 Ming army soldiers also started to set up camps based on the camp.
In the Ming army formation, Zhu Youjian, wearing the Ming Emperor's dragon robe, appeared in the army formation.
The emperor's ceremonial guard was erected, and the Ming army suddenly heard the sound of roaring and tsunami.
Compared to Zhu Youjian's old and weak body, he could only stay in the central army. The strong and strong King of Han Zhao Ming rode a horse and galloped between the formations to inspire morale. He ran a while ago, and the soldiers cheered.
The soldiers of the other formations quickly inspected muskets, gunpowder, projectiles, grenades, bayonets, quilts, dry food and kettles in accordance with the wartime regulations and under the supervision of officers to ensure that everything is correct.
The instructors of each battalion seized the time to speak, boost morale, and shouted slogans such as "Putting the World" and "Ending Troubled Times".
At this time, Zhao Ming wandered around and patrolled the formations. The sky was already bright and the spring sun was warm.
"King, all the troops will be in the flag!" The central army guard Wang Shuang saluted Zhao Ming, who had returned to the central army's main formation, and said, "Please also ask the king to issue an order!"
Zhao Ming pulled out the reins, controlled the war horse, glanced at Guangye, was silent for a moment, and shouted coldly: "Set off!"
The sound of trumpets and drums rang one after another, and a cavalry with a flag on his back ran out.
After a moment, the Han army marched forward according to their respective missions and established marching routes.
On the front, twenty battalions of Han soldiers advanced like walls, with soldiers resisting muskets and stalking with their heads raised.
A large number of artillery followed the infantry. The cavalry with a plate armored breastplate on the chest of the river slowly advanced. The gunboats on the river moved westward under the pull of the boatman, and the black muzzles were terrifying.
To the south, ten battalions of Han troops lined up in two horizontal lines and advanced to the west. The soldiers carried muskets and the bayonets rose and fell with the soldiers' pace.
...
On Maoshan, Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong formation.
The 80,000 Ming troops also had breakfast early and waited for the morning of the day. As they were about to attack from south to north, they raided the Han army from behind as planned.
Jin Shenghuan stood on the top of the mountain, with Ming army figures and flags everywhere on the mountain. He pulled out the Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles
After the Han army formation was arranged, Jin Shenghuan, who was standing on a high place, saw the Han army formation in his eyes.
Judging from the distribution of the Han army and the march route, King Yanping made a complete judgment that the Han army would attack the front and break through the plain.
This means that the flanks of the Han army will be completely exposed to the attacks of the Ming army on the southern front.
However, Zhao Ming agreed to correctly judge the intention of the Ming army, arranged ten battalions on the southern line and sent the first four battalions to seize Baohua and Tangshan as the support points of the southern line.
Both sides correctly judged the other party's intentions, and then it depends on whose spear is sharper.
Jin Shenghuan took the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile, held the sword, and the soldiers behind him were killed.
Below Maoshan, King Zhongwu Li Chengdong kneaded a letter and threw it into the brazier, snorting coldly, "Zhao Tiebang looks down on me, do you think I can vote for me?"
Before the war started, Zhao Ming submitted letters to Li Chengdong, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan, and even Fang Guoan, promising official titles and money, hoping that they could turn against each other at the last minute.
After speaking, Li Chengdong picked up his helmet and stepped out of the account. Tens of thousands of troops outside the account were already arranged.
At this time, Li Chengdong turned over and led a large army forward, stationed at the foot of Maoshan, and the Han army formation in front of him passed through him.
"King! Assault?" General Hao Shangjiu said, licking his lips.
Li Chengdong glanced at the Han army's front, looking for the weaknesses of the Han army, shook his head, and said coldly: "When the main formation fights against the rebel main formation, we will attack!"
At this time, as the Han army advanced westward, the fierce battles between 10,000 Ming troops and 12,000 Han troops gradually became clear.
The dense Han army gradually advanced from more than ten miles to four or five miles away.
The main formation of the Ming army, and the scouts kept reporting the distance between the Han army.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong suddenly waved his hand and called, "Architecture bombardment!"
On the front, the Ming army's artillery was the first to roar, and the whistling shells landed in front of the Han army.
Zhao Ming was riding a horse behind the army and heard the rumbling sound of cannons. There was a roar in front of him, splashing mud pillars. At the same time, Ming army artillery was pushed out in the mountains and forests, and smoke rose from the mountains and forests. The shells cut through the sky and fell towards the Han army marching line.
"Don't look around, keep moving forward!" General Tang Tong shouted in a deep voice.
