Chapter 864 Line Infantry

In the coalition central army, Duoduo was almost broken.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled with smoke, muskets were fired, artillery bombardment, and the smoke of iron shell and thunder explosion blurred vision.

The entire battlefield was like a layer of veil. The coalition army could not see it clearly. Only the sarcastic sound of the war horses after each round of volleys were heard, and the cavalry howlings came.

With each round of muskets, a large number of cavalrymen in the formation were killed.

No matter how the Qing cavalry ran, they would be shot by the Liang army.

At this time, every gunshot, Duoduo's heart was stabbed by a knife.

In the coalition infantry formation, Wu Sangui and other generals were also stunned and beat their chests and stamped their feet.

"My King's Guanning Iron Cavalry!" Wu Sangui's eyes were red and his heart was bleeding.

He followed Dorgon to fight Gao Huan and was forced into the Yellow River Flood Zone, losing most of his elite troops.

Now he followed Duoduo, and the 30,000 cavalry that had finally recovered were probably all over now.

Wu Sangui was full of shock and felt desperate inside, and the entire coalition infantry formation was also in agitation.

"Prince, look!" Hu Guozhu suddenly pointed at the formation group and shouted excitedly.

Wu Sangui looked at him and saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the smoke of gunpowder in the rapid sound of gold. He led a cavalry and was Wang Pingfan, the general of the Northern Ming Army.

Wu Sangui looked closely and was immediately overjoyed. How could the Guanning Iron Cavalry be so easily destroyed?

"Run out! Rush out! Guan Ningjun rushed out!"

Many Northern Ming troops were so excited that they jumped, as if they had won a big victory, completely forgot the disastrous defeat of the coalition cavalry.

The coalition forces charged in the fields with 80,000 cavalrymen. The more upright Mongolians rushed to the front, followed by the more arrogant Eight Banners soldiers, while Guan Ning rushed to the end.

After the coalition cavalry entered the formation, Duoduo found that something was wrong and ordered the troops to withdraw. The Guanning Army, which had not yet entered the formation, immediately pulled out its horse and retreated. The Guanning Army, who entered the formation, relied on its talent, braved the bombardment of the hollow formation group, encountered the square formation while galloping, and always turned in one direction. After being shot to death by most of the horses, cavalry finally rushed out from both wings of the formation group.

After walking in the gates of hell, the coalition cavalry, who were so scared that they were scattered and had no intention of fighting. After they came out of the battle, they pulled out their horses and retreated with fear, unwilling to stop at all.

More than 10,000 coalition cavalry were invaded, and more than 10,000 people escaped from the formation. The remaining cavalry turned into layers of corpses, and the battle was extremely tragic.

In previous wars, if 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry had to be destroyed, they had to fight from morning to sunset. But this time, the coalition cavalry was like queuing up to enter the slaughtering assembly line. In less than an hour, tens of thousands of people were gone.

The remaining cavalry retreated in panic in the sound of gold. Gao Huan, the central army of Liang, stood under the flag of Daqi. Seeing the enemy cavalry fleeing, he immediately drew out his sword, pointed forward, and shouted loudly, "Cabinets attack! Kill me!"

When 80,000 enemy cavalry rushed into the field, the Liang cavalry could only temporarily avoid the edge and retreat to the rear of the hollow formation group.

Xu Heihu and Hao Yaoqi hold the Liang army's cavalry foundation, just like good steel must be used on the blade. As the strongest strike force, the cavalry must also be used at the right time.

At this time, the military drums in the Liang army sounded, and the Liang cavalry immediately became boiling. The Liang army knights, who had already been unable to control themselves, finally waited for the opportunity!

After the military order, Hao Yaoqi grabbed the horse's belly and slapped the horse's buttocks. The war horse rang out with a long time, and shot out like lightning.

Xu Heihu raised his sword and roared loudly, "Brothers! Kill!"

More than 20,000 Liang army cavalry shouted like anger. They followed the generals and attacked in two groups, chasing the retreating coalition cavalry from the two wings of the hollow formation group.

The cavalry in various hollow formations also rushed out of the formation, chasing the coalition cavalry and coming out of the passage.

The coalition central army, under the Daqian Banner, Duoduo saw that the remaining cavalry had just retreated, and the Liang cavalry, who had been huddled behind the formation, rushed up. He did not care about the Eight Banners Cavalry who had entered the formation, so he quickly roared: "Stay the stairs formation."

At this time, the coalition cavalry ran back, and the Liang cavalry chased from behind. If they directly hit the internship formation, the entire battle situation would be completely broken.

The coalition infantry formation, Wu Sangui and others also woke up from the joy of Guanning cavalry rushing out of the formation group.

The coalition infantry witnessed the cavalry's defeat with their own eyes. The Northern Ming army and the Green Camp soldiers were shocked. Seeing the Liang cavalry coming over, there was a commotion in the middle of the army, and the atmosphere of fear and anxiety quickly spread in the formation.

The coalition cavalry suffered a heavy blow. If the coalition had the intention to win before, now the only thing left is to survive.

At this time, Duoduo and Wu Sangui shouted loudly in the military formation, intending to maintain the stability of the military formation.

"Don't panic, keep this up, everyone will die if they are in chaos!" Wu Sangui rode his horse anxiously and ran back and forth in front of the army.

The road to retreat of the coalition forces was blocked by Sun Chuanting, and Gao Huan came from the front again, and the soldiers of all races fell into despair.

Duoduo's eyes were red and he shouted hysterically, "The cavalry retreated to the wings and set up formations to meet the enemy!"

The Qing army hurriedly set up a formation, and at this moment, behind Dawenkou, a shrill sound of trumpets sounded.

Duoduo and many Qing soldiers were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound, and then instantly became ecstatic, "It's reinforcements here!"

"Reinforcements are here! Stay calm!"

"Huaiqing's reinforcements have arrived! We will definitely be able to go back if we are saved!"

Many coalition generals shouted loudly, and the panicked coalition forces finally calmed down slowly, and the sword and spear forward to form a dense front.

At this time, the coalition cavalry retreated to the two wings of the coalition's formation. Seeing that the coalition's formation was stable and there was no chance to directly rush to the formation, they immediately pulled out their horse reins and chased the two wings of the coalition's formation, continuing to chase the coalition cavalry, without giving them the chance to reorganize the team.

Under the Liang army's Daqin, Gao Mingheng heard the movement behind Dawenkou and reminded him urgently: "King, the enemy reinforcements have arrived, and the commander Sun was attacked!"

When Gao Huan heard the words, he immediately waved his hand and shouted decisively, "Change the formation, push the cannon forward, the flintlock rifle team pressed up, and the volleyball team defeated the enemy's infantry formation."

The cavalry of the Qing army and the puppet Ming army were defeated by the Liang army. The Liang army's infantry was no longer threatened by the cavalry. Gao Huan no longer had to pull up the artillery and attack the Qing army. The infantry no longer had to set up a hollow square formation for defense. The musketeers formed a horizontal formation to exert maximum firepower.

Sun Chuanting took the lead for a few days, and the 50,000 Liang troops were attacked by the enemy, which may not be able to last for a long time.

If Sun Chuanting was defeated by Mandahai, which Huaiqing rushed to, Duoduo and Wu Sangui had the opportunity to retreat in an established manner.

Therefore, after Gao Huan severely damaged the coalition cavalry, he must defeat the enemy's infantry formation as soon as possible, and then the clichéd wild pigs were caught.

At this time, with the order from the Liang army, the gunners from each formation immediately brought mules and horses, put ropes on, and pulled the cannon out of the cannon position.

In a moment, more than 200 bronze cannons in field battle were pulled to both wings of the enemy's infantry formation by mules and horses. A large number of spearmen helped build the artillery formation and then guarded the left and right to prevent the enemy from raiding the artillery formation.

At the same time, the six thousand flintlock rifles team located behind the formation group passed through the formation group and unfolded in front of the enemy formation, forming a horizontal formation that lasted for several miles.

The confringe gunmen of each formation gathered on the left and right wings of the flintlock rifle formation. For a moment on the battlefield, a line of infantry horizontal formations as wide as the front of the coalition infantry formation appeared.

"The whole army, guns are on their shoulders, it turns out that the whole team is in full." Li Pingyuan pulled out his command knife, pointed down, and shouted loudly.

There was a rustling sound among the Liang army's infantry line. Three rows of musketeers carried the muskets on their shoulders at the same time, and a cold light shining guns burst out from the entire line.

At this time, in the line-line formation, there was a sudden sound of suona in the horizontal formation of each battalion, and the drummer beat the drum beat rhythmically.

"Dongdongdongdong" On the entire line, soldiers who were fighting against muskets stepped on the spot with the drum beats. The soldiers adjusted the rhythm and the front line, and finally formed a straight horizontal formation, making neat steps.

Seeing this, Li Pingyuan immediately directed the knife to wave forward, shouting loudly, "Go forward!"

The drum beat the drums quickly and in a row. On the entire line, the soldiers of each battalion stepped forward at the same time, and the guns and pierced as they rose and fell, and the scene was particularly spectacular.

Just as the Liang army lined up the infantry and advanced forward, the Liang army's field artillery began to cross-fire the coalition infantry formation from both wings.

"Boom boom boom" The bronze cannons ejected fire, and raised smoke of gunpowder. The cannon bodies suddenly retreated one by one, and the shells roared and smashed towards the dense infantry front of the coalition forces.
