Chapter 102: Fierce Battle
Under the vicious sunlight, the two armies against each other began to slowly set off an offensive.
In front of the Ming army in southern Myanmar, Wang Qiu, the commander of the death camp, rode back and forth in front of the formation on a fast horse, shouting: "Brothers, Wu Sangui's dog thief was deeply favored by the late Emperor Chongzhen, and he was given the title of General of Shanhaiguan and was awarded the title of Xibo. However, this dog thief did not think about repaying him, and led Qing troops into the pass, causing trouble to the Han people. Now the people in the Central Plains are displaced and occupied by the people. Nine out of ten families in the south of the Yangtze River are empty and devastated. Eight out of ten million compatriots in the world were slaughtered. How many parents and brothers were slaughtered and harmed by the Qing dogs and Wu thieves? How many brothers and sisters were offered to Jiannu to commit humiliation? To this day, Wu thieves are right in front of you..."
Wang Qiu pulled his sword and shouted: "I have a terrible relationship with the thief Wu. Who dares to kill this thief with me?"
"The soldiers in front of the formation drew their swords one after another, and responded with a roar: "We are willing to go and we are willing to eliminate the traitors with the general!"
Wang Qiu laughed wildly: "Okay! Today, all the brothers live and die together. If they are defeated in this battle, there must be no one who survives in the death camp."
"Kill!" The soldiers who were so excited that they shouted.
At this time, a cavalry of Wu army surrounded from the flank. This was the general tactic of Wu army. First, he used an iron cavalry to disrupt the opponent's formation, and then the infantry rushed forward. Although this tactic is simple, it is the most practical. Wu Sangui is able to do what he is today thanks to these thousands of iron cavalry.
Dadada... Thousands of cavalry rushed out of the formation and began to speed up their horses. The machete in their hands shone in the sunlight, and rushed towards the Ming army like a whirlwind.
"So quickly arrange the spearmen of the Shenyong Camp and the Shenji Camp to form a formation. The cavalry has extremely strong assault ability. All generals must be careful and don't let the enemy take advantage of it." Zhu Jun issued several military orders in a row, and he was not sure about dealing with the cavalry, but using spears, muskets, and steel crossbows to form a formation to resist should have a certain effect.
"I ordered the recall of Wang Qiu, the commander of the Death Camp, and don't let him take the Death Camp to act recklessly. Let him and the Death Camp hold back this breath first, and then release them when they return. What about the Northern Burmese Army? Can they resist the cavalry?"
"Emperor, Wu Sangui's cavalry has only 3,000 people. The main ones that broke through our positions, and there were only 500 cavalry attacking the northern Myanmar army, so there should be no big problem." Qianhu, who came back from the front to report the enemy situation, replied.
"That's good. Tell Commander Mu Jianming whether he can win this battle. I will rely entirely on the Shenji Camp. Is Zhang Youde's injury healed? If the injury is too serious, let him hand over the Shenjian Camp to the commander Tongzhi to command it. Recover the wounds with peace of mind first."
"Yes. I will send the order here."
"Arrangement!" Mu Jianming held high the small flag of commanding the land in his hand and roared.
Three hundred gunners are the first row, three hundred crossbowmen are the second row, followed by five hundred soldiers in the brave camp with spears. The final position was the murderous Wang Qiu and the soldiers in the suicide camp. The rest of the soldiers are short-lived soldiers, only echoing on both sides.
The cavalry galloped forward gradually widened the distance, like a huge beast, making a final sprint at an extremely fast speed. The battle blade reflected a dazzling cold light under the sunlight.
"Shooting by crossbowman!" Mu Jianming looked at the torrent of the cyclone without moving. After observing the shooting distance, he shouted loudly.
Hissing......The sound of a neat and uniform sound of mechanical sashes sounded, and three hundred crossbow arrows came out of the crossbow and scattered straight towards the knights running near in the distance. Immediately, dozens of knights rushed to the front and fell to the ground. Screams and horse neighing sounds sounded on the dusty land.
"All crossbowmen follow the command of this command and scatter freely!" Mu Jianming roared.
Hissing...
After several rounds of crossbow shooting, the cavalry suffered heavy losses. Nearly 300 cavalrymen fell down and were trampled into meat paste by the knights who came over.
The cavalry that led the way had crossed forty feet. When Mu Jianming waved his flag, he shouted again: "Gun Team Shooted."
"Bang bang bang..." The latest three hundred consecutive bird guns were launched, and smoke was bursting on the battlefield. Then hundreds of sprinting cavalry fell from their horses, and then another round of bows and crossbows shot, like continuous, blocking the distance of forty feet.
The knights who came from behind saw the power of firing fire guns in succession. Someone heard a whistle. All the cavalry dispersed and continued to sprint forward.
The power of the muskets and steel crossbows began to decline a little, but the damage to the cavalry was still quite large. Within a hundred feet of distance, there were fallen knights and horses running around indiscriminately. In order to break through the blockade of this long-range firearm, the cavalry paid nearly half of the casualties.
Finally, the cavalry that came from behind was getting closer and closer, only about ten feet away from the Ming army formation. Mu Jianming shouted: "Change the formation!"
Then the musketeers and steel crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the spearmen in the back row took over their positions.
"Raising the spear!" The voice of the commander of the Divine Camp echoed on the battlefield where the smoke was not over.
Four hundred sharp spearheads were raised flat, and then they raised slightly upward in an orderly manner. The spearmen stared at the front without fear, not daring to slacken at all.
"Brothers, the Emperor is behind us, and it is time for us to use our flesh and blood to repay the emperor's kindness." The commander Tongzhi stood in the soldiers' queue and shouted with his spear.
"Long live my emperor!" Countless voices responded to his words, including the spear soldiers in the front, the gunners, crossbowmen behind him, the soldiers of the suicide camp who were already ready to go, and the mountain camp soldiers on both sides.
Tongzhi, the commander of the Divine Brave Camp, gritted his teeth, and took a step forward with a slightly raised spear, shouting with great enthusiasm: "My name is Deng Daxing. Today, I am fighting first. If I die, I will die first. When I enter the Martyrs' Temple, you brothers, don't forget to come and give me a glass of wine at this time of year." The spearmen were infected and took a step forward quietly, still standing on the same line as Deng Daxing, shouting together: "We are willing to share life and death with Tongzhi!"
A stream of smoke approached quickly, and then collided with the spearman after a stagnation, confusing it.
Before the cavalry rushing in front could make a cover to protect their bodies, they had already been pierced by the spear that was running directly from the opposite side. The huge impulse force directly pushed the running horse onto the head of the horse behind. The standing war horse immediately overturned the owner on his back.
The sharp spear stabbed at the other party with loud shouts, and almost no one could avoid the oncoming sharp blade. When he saw the terrifying spear tips filling his eyes, countless desperate shouts sounded in an instant. The terrifying sound of sharp blades piercing the body came one after another, and several knights were even lifted upwards by one or even several spears, and were immediately supported by the spears rushing up from behind. The broken body pierced through the spear rods that collided and tear each other, and the bright red plasma sprayed around like a waterfall.
"Your Majesty, Commander Mu seems to follow him to attack the Wu army formation." Qianhu replied.
"Where is Li Xiao? Where is Li Xiao?" Zhu Jun's face turned pale with anger.
"Commander Li Xiao also went there."
"Where is Wang Qiu? He will not go." Zhu Jun's hand was trembling.
"Emperor." Qianhu said with a bitter face: "Commander Wang Qiu is the one who rushed in front."
"Damn!" Zhu Jun couldn't help but curse a national curse from his previous life.
