Chapter 185 Interrupting the enemy formation
Seeing the enemy retreating further and further away from the artillery range, and reorganizing the army formation there, Pan Jie raised his knife and said sternly: "General's order, all infantry, advance! If there is any fear and fear, kill!"
After saying that, the drummer on one side adjusted the war drum, and the drum sounded softly. Pan Jie waved the steel knife in his hand: "Go forward!"
With the drum beats, three square formations, and the huge Song army infantry formation went forward without any progress. This was the first time that the Song army fought against the enemy without the protection of artillery fire.
Zhang Ke looked at the infantry formation that was attacking, held the telescope tightly in his hand and licked his lips, feeling extremely nervous. Of course, he had learned infantry attacks in the military academy and practiced countless times, but he had not really used them in actual combat. This was his first time using the musket infantry formation to attack the enemy. If this attack was successful, Ilik in front would block Irik in front.
With the drum beat, Pan Jie looked at the black sweat army in front of him and felt a little blurry. At this time, the sun was rising, and although the cold wind was cold, the sun above his head was hot and a little weird. As an officer who came from the imperial guards, Pan Jie studied at Wudu Military Academy for nearly a year, and this was his first time to participate in a battle. Without the atmosphere in the former army, Pan Jie always felt that the Hequ Road army was strange, and this strangeness was only felt at this time.
In the past, as long as the battle was really started, except for talented people, most of them were blindly following the people around them, and they walked up step by step with guns. After several battles, they were lucky enough to die and became veterans. At that time, they knew how to fight. Now it is different. From the first step with a knife and a gun, they will be clear-headed and always be awake. Otherwise, their own team will be in a mess. The musket army will fight in a mess.
In the telescope, Du Zhongxiao saw the Song army abandoning artillery and letting the infantry go forward and kill directly, saying, "The previous victory was the great effect of artillery. This time, Zhang Ke did not use artillery and directly used musketeers to attack the enemy's formation. The result is a revelation for the future leaders. The range of musketeers is longer than that of crossbows, and the bayonet at the front is equivalent to a short spear, which is considered a combination of long-term range. After fighting with the enemy, what should be done appropriately? To be honest, there is no definite conclusion yet."
Fu Bi said: "What are the doubts about this? The musketeers leaned forward. When they reached the distance, they just fired the gun."
Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "It's not that simple. Deputy envoy, after the musketeer fires, the enemy retreats. What if the recoil is recoiled? Especially if the military formation is no longer strictly maintained and the scattered recoil is used, how should we deal with it? Once the military formation is disrupted, the subsequent enemy rushed up and fought with our army, it will become a close contact, and the musket is useless. Therefore, when the enemy recoils, there should be a part of the army, fighting bayonets with the enemy at the right distance. Others should quickly block the enemy's subsequent troops. The number of personnel at this distance depends on the quality of the commander."
Fu Bi did not enter the military academy and was not familiar with the specific combat of the army. After hearing Du Zhongxiao's words, he nodded and picked up the telescope.
When Zhang Ke saw the military formation attacking in the telescope, he felt dry and wanted to put on his armor and rush to the front of the team. He was a powerful general. In the past, he always rushed to the front when fighting. Now he could only watch from a distance, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that the Song army was attacking was not as dense as his own army, I couldn't help but clenched his fists and said to Asil: "Tell the men on both wings that the Song army has already set a range of artillery, let them rush up and fight with the Song army desperately! Without the protection of infantry, artillery will be useless!"
The artillery was too powerful, and I didn't have it, so I couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so I could only stand and be beaten. Now the Song army directly attacked with infantry without artillery fire, and it was the time to fight against it. The lost people just now was nothing, and my troops were almost twice as many as the Song army. What would it take to die if I finally defeated the Song army, all the losses were worth it.
After crossing the corpse of a black sweater, Pan Jie felt his head empty. At this moment, all he thought about was to fight against the enemy. The drum beats were consistent with the pace, and even the heartbeat seemed to be strangely connected to the drum beats.
When we were ten steps away from the enemy formation, the enemy's bows and arrows fell like rain. However, the Song army's armor was clear, and only three of them fell to the ground, and the army formation was not in chaos.
Taking advantage of the first round of enemy arrow rains, Pan Jie stopped and shouted: "Carry the gun! - Launch!"
As the gunshots rang out, almost all the troops in the Black Sweat Army formation in front fell to the ground. Some were frightened and ran backwards involuntarily to disrupt the military formation. Some were in a mess, and some were in the grassroots military achievements, cutting off the people running back and stabilizing the formation.
The Song army's first platoon retreated, the second platoon rushed up, and another round of guns was added.
The third row of soldiers took turns to move forward and fired guns. In a short while, the black sweat army formation in front became sparse. Pan Jie secretly breathed, raised his steel knife, and sternly said: "Go forward!"
The Song army advanced forward again with the sound of drums. At this time, the formation of Hei Shan was already chaotic, the archers behind were dispersed, and the rain of arrows became very sparse, which posed no threat to the Song army. Following the drum beat, the Song army firmly leaned forward towards the Hei Shan army formation.
Pan Jie looked at the military formation next to him. The original commander Li Conglin was gone, and it was replaced by Wei Liangtao. I don’t know whether Li Conglin was injured or dead, or whether something happened during command, so the next level Wei Liangtao came up.
The resistance of the Hei Khan army was not strong just now, but it was just a rain of arrows, which was not very harmful. In particular, they did not organize a charge, which gave the Song army time to attack calmly and the Song army the opportunity to fight step by step.
Du Zhongxiao was on the city tower, watching his wings slowly move forward, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Okay, the Black Khan army has been forced together, and it is difficult for Irik in front to retreat now. When the two wings meet in the middle of the Black Khan army formation, the overall situation will be decided."
Fu Bi said: "Hei Han still has many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid they will fight back."
Du Zhongxiao said: "The hard thing about musket infantry is attacking. How could he be afraid of their counterattack? The military formation behind has begun to transform into front and back against the enemy and protect the attacking military formation. Now, the Black Khan army has no choice but to do so unless Ilik can make up his mind and immediately break through with his troops. But can he make up this decision? In his opinion, he has not yet fought well with us."
In the battle of cold weapons, on the huge battlefield, there are actually not many contacts. Often, a few elites are constantly confronting and adding troops to it. When one side cannot support it and begins to defeat, a large number of people will die. The hot weapons are different. Once they are divided and surrounded, guns and cannons will take away the lives of a large number of people. Ilik had the first time to contact the Song army and did not have that consciousness.
Zhang Ke watched the left and right wings slowly converge, dividing Hei Han's camp into two, and breathing a sigh of relief. Although Hei Han had many people on the flanks, his formation was not good. There were not many troops attacking the two wings. When they arrived at the back, the formation was completely messed up.
Seeing the Song army's wings meet in the middle of their barracks, Ilik stomped his feet: "It's useless, the soldiers and generals on both wings are useless! Just let the Song army attack in like this, don't you know how to counterattack?! Go and bring two generals here quickly, I want to punish you heavily!"
(Happy National Day everyone!)
