Emperor Chongzhen dared to touch his conscience and swear with Zhengren's head. His meaning was very simple, of course he was to cut people with a knife - he hadn't cut people with a knife for many years, and his skills were almost unfamiliar!

And it is foreseeable that this is almost the last time I have led a military campaign in my life. If I miss it, will I have a chance to lead another military campaign in the future?

At around 3:30 in the morning, as the scout came to report the news that the English army was advancing here, Emperor Chongzhen, who had not been sleepy, suddenly became more energetic.

He kept calling Wang Chengen to prepare horses, while Emperor Chongzhen took Zhang Zhiji and others out of the tent and came to the position.

There is a drizzle like cow hair floating in the sky, which is still far from the pouring rain. To describe it in poetic sentences, it is probably the rain of apricot blossoms that are wet with clothes.

It is hard to say whether there are apricot blossoms or not. Emperor Chongzhen is not very clear. In addition, the dark night at around 3 a.m., the illuminated torches and fires do not play much role. The distance that can be seen in the eyes is limited, so it is even more difficult to figure out whether there are apricot blossoms.

But it doesn't matter, it's poetic. This thing is smug. It doesn't have to have apricot blossoms - it's like a flying flow down three thousand feet. Just be able to experience that artistic conception. If you really want to see a waterfall of three thousand feet, are you sure you dare to see it?

The drizzle of cow hair that is about to be wet in clothes is indeed quite poetic. Whether wearing a hat or holding an umbrella and meeting a few young and beautiful ladies is really a joy in life.

However, there are no beautiful young ladies on the position. Apart from a group of big men who snatch their feet, they are also big men who snatch their feet. It is impossible to rely on them to understand poetry and romance. What they are interested in is to use a knife to cut people and then make military achievements.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew what these Qiuba people are all about, so when he first arrived here, he distributed a lot of meat to add food to these Qiuba people.

After patrolling the position for a while, Emperor Chongzhen took Zhang Zhiji and others back to the rear: "Are you ready?"

Zhang Shize bowed and said, "Your Majesty, all the big shields have been sent down, and the cowhide tent is ready. Even if the English barbarians prepare all the longbowers this time, there will be no problem."

Things are just like what Zhang Shize said.

Cromwell spent a lot of money this time. The three thousand long bowmen and two thousand knights they collected were basically sent out, and even the arrows and equipment were given enough.

However, it is of no use.

When the Three Thousand Longbowmen had just arrived at a distance of 200 meters from the Ming army formation, the Ming army formation had already opened its large shields, and all the areas where the large shields were not easy to cover were also supported.

Almost in an instant, three thousand long arrows were shot into the sky by the longbowmen, and then they were stabbed down with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, hitting the shield with a crackling sound, and then slid down to the side weakly.

Occasionally, several long arrows would shoot through the cowhide tent in the middle of the large shield and shoot on the soldiers. Most of them would get arrows on their arms, and some unlucky guys would be pierced through their necks.

The Divine Arm Bow also shot backwards - just like in the movie, the overwhelming arrows flew directly towards the English longbowmen like locusts.

The English longbower in the first row was almost instantly tied into a scarecrow, then the second row, the third row, and the fourth row.

The arrows used by the Divine Arm Bow are different from the size of the Baniu Crossbow, but are thinner and shorter, and thinner than normal feather arrows. Otherwise, there is no way to ensure a range of 400 meters, which causes the Divine Arm Bow to shoot intensively, otherwise it will be insufficient.

Two armies using different bows and arrows began to shoot at each other.

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Zhiji and others stood behind the position, looking at the scene in front of them with expressionless faces.

In the military formation of the Southern Imperial Guard, the dead soldiers were quickly carried away by the rescue team behind them. The injured soldiers retreated without saying a word and bandaged them. The comrades behind them took over the shields and cowhide tents they were holding.

No chaos.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that he had been used to life and death, and his heart had long become steel, but when facing this scene, his eyes could not help but get wet.

Any army will often collapse when the war loss ratio exceeds 10 to 1. Few troops can break this law, not just none, but very few.

Emperor Chongzhen believed that if he was fighting on the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could not only bear 1 to 1 battle loss ratio, even if they were two to one or even annihilated, no one would retreat.

Because it is their home.

And now they are expeditioning overseas, what will happen? Emperor Chongzhen was originally unconfident.

The Ming army was very awesome, the supplies were very awesome, and the weapons were very awesome. However, these awesome factors combined together could not compare to God’s heavy rain.

It’s okay to say that such drizzle is too heavy to rain, but if it’s a rainstorm level, then no firearm can be used to show off, unless the Ming Dynasty’s military equipment has developed to the level after World War II.

It is precisely because of this that all the garrisons of the Ming Dynasty did not completely eliminate cold weapons. No one from the bottom-level soldiers to the Governor's Office of the Five Army to Emperor Chongzhen himself proposed to completely eliminate cold weapons, in order to prevent this situation in front of him.

The soldiers in front of them told Emperor Chongzhen with their fearlessness of life and death that they were still the strong army that was indifferent to life and death and was invincible to the world.

After dozens of rounds of arrow rain, the English longbowmen on the opposite side finally stopped - it was not that these longbows did not want to continue shooting, but that they no longer had enough physical support, and on the other hand, it was because the casualties were too great.

Manuel, who had already boarded the war horse with the help of his servants.

Huxley turned his head and looked at the knight beside him, raised his hand and pressed the face armor. A slightly dull voice came out through the face armor: "It's our turn!"

Zhang Shize looked at the English Knights Legion who had begun to move forward from a distance, snorted coldly, and ordered: "Let them taste the Eight-Nuo Crossbow!"

The two types of killing weapons, the Eight Niu Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow, shouldn't have existed in this world. If Emperor Chongzhen had not dug up Emperor Jiajing's tomb, it would have really not appeared again.

However, Emperor Chongzhen risked the world's ruthlessness to dig up Emperor Jiajing's tomb. The earliest encyclopedia of the world, "Yongle Encyclopedia", was once again realistic, and the techniques of the Eight Niu Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow were also dug out together.

After repeated verification and experiments, the big men of the Royal Academy finally restored these two weapons and improved them to a certain extent, and then equipped them with a large amount of equipment in various garrisons.

Whether it is the Eight Niu Crossbow or the Divine Arm Bow, even after improvement, it still requires three people to operate - two are responsible for winding the strings, and one is responsible for installing arrow posts and firing.

As Zhang Shize's order was passed down, the Eight-Nuo Crossbow finally opened its man-eating fangs again - four thick Eight-Nuo Crossbow arrows, and directly plowed the oncoming English Knights' army four blood grooves.

Huxley was very lucky that he was not shot by the arrow of the Baniu Crossbow, but the good brother beside him was the most unlucky one, and was split into two pieces by the arrow of the Baniu Crossbow.

The war horse that lost its master was a little confused, but no matter how confused it was, it could not stop and could only be forced to rush forward with the other war horses.

Huxley also couldn't retreat, and deep down, he did not give up his desire for victory.

The disadvantages of the heavy-mounted knight are infinitely amplified at this moment, because the weight of one's body, the weight of the equipment, and the weight of the horse, are already close to one ton, and some even exceed one ton.

Once you start speeding up, it is very difficult to change directions, let alone stop or turn around and run away, which is basically impossible.

Since you can't turn around, then keep moving forward. After all, although the thinner arrows of the Ming army would hurt when they hit their bodies, they could not effectively break the armor on their bodies. The most terrifying arrows can only fire four at a time, which is not enough to cause a fatal blow to their side.

As long as they can get close to their military formation and deal with them severe damage, all the costs are worth it. And after the longbowmen recover, they can get closer to the other party's military formation to provide support to their own side.

Zhang Shize obviously discovered this problem, and his face became a little ugly, and even the faces of Zhang Zhiji and Emperor Chongzhen became ugly.

There are many reasons why heavy cavalry has not become popular in the East, such as excessive equipment cost, slow movement speed, easy to be killed by light cavalry shooting, etc., which have caused heavy cavalry to not become popular in the East.

The trouble with the heavy cavalry in front of him is that the Divine Arm Bow cannot effectively break the defense against it. A large number of knights who fell off the horse died because they happened to be unlucky and were shot in the neck with insufficient protection.

If this heavy cavalry rushed over, the final result would be to disperse the Ming army that had been arranged, and then there would be a massacre.

Zhang Shize, who made the entire combat plan, will undoubtedly become the first responsible person, followed by Zhang Zhiji, and then Emperor Chongzhen's undefeated reputation will also be affected.

A single hair moves the whole body!

The blessing in disgrace is that the road is slippery on rainy days and there is no light in the early morning, which has caused the heavy cavalry to never be able to raise the speed of the heavy cavalry, and they can only jog forward little by little.

With a shout, Emperor Chongzhen exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest and ordered: "Transfer the order, the infantry retreat, the shield soldiers retreat, and give up the front battlefield to the barbarians. Transfer the order, three thousand iron cavalry and ten thousand cavalry, ready to kill the enemy with me!"

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I am willing to lead my troops there!"

Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "Then take the Beijing camp and go with you to kill the enemy!"

Emperor Chongzhen's order was quickly conveyed. The three thousand iron cavalry who were dowed by the Xibe tribe and the ten thousand cavalry whom Emperor Chongzhen came from Zhuoliktuhan, all rode on the war horse without saying a word and drew out the sabers.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp also got on the war horses and lined up behind Zhang Zhiji.

Cavalry has nothing to be afraid of with cavalry. Even if heavy cavalry is thick and thick, can their necks be surrounded with iron? Even if they really surround them, it is nothing. Mangu Daiyouzhe will teach them how to be a human being!

These veterans have long known how to deal with heavy cavalry. Today they are just trying to test the tactics that can be used to target heavy cavalry.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen did not expect was that the first time the Ming Dynasty's garrison had a battlefield disobedience, especially when Emperor Chongzhen himself was present, the soldiers disobeyed.

No one obeyed Emperor Chongzhen's will and withdrew from the battlefield.

After receiving the order from Emperor Chongzhen, the soldiers of the Southern Imperial Guard's first reaction was not to withdraw immediately, but to their incompetence, which made the Ming army embarrassed and His Majesty the Emperor.

If this kind of shame cannot be cleaned with the enemy's blood, then use your own blood to clean it up. It seems good?

Shen Zhenjiang gave up his command function in the rear, instead rushed to the front line, stood on foot at the front arrow, shouting loudly: "Wang Ergou!"

Wang Ergou, who had long since changed from a foodie who could eat six servings to a man like an iron tower, has now accumulated merits to a hundred households and said, "I am humble!"

Shen Zhenjiang narrowed his eyes, looked at the shadowy English Knights, and said aloud: "Today I will accompany you to kill the enemy, are you afraid of death!"

Wang Ergou laughed and said, "The turtle son is afraid!"

Wang Ergou, who had become a hundred households, learned the Sichuan accent from somewhere, but it was a bit inappropriate, which made the soldiers behind him laugh together.

Fear? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death?

Who are these people?

I am a soldier, a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and a soldier of His Majesty the Emperor. Isn’t it appropriate to fight for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor? Isn’t the blessing I enjoy enough? Isn’t the pension after death in battle enough?

Why be afraid?

Shen Zhenjiang suddenly shouted loudly: "Wind!"

Wang Ergou shouted, "Wind!"

The soldiers behind him shouted loudly: "Big wind! Big wind!"

A sound of wind seems to have traveled through thousands of years of time and space.

The Qin soldiers of that year were shouting "Wind! Wind! Strong wind! Strong wind!" and horses stepped on the six kingdoms, determined the Central Plains, and established the reputation of the old Qin people who never fought to the death.

Now, these Ming soldiers, who may not be the old Qin people, were also shouting about the strong wind. They still charged against the enemy even though they knew they would die!

When Shen Zhenjiang took the first step, the soldiers behind him followed.

The Ming Dynasty was undefeated and the emperor's reputation for being undefeated should not be lost because of the Southern Imperial Guard!

Life and death? It doesn’t matter!

Emperor Chongzhen, who had already boarded a war horse behind the formation, shouted angrily: "Bastard! Order them to retreat! Take my sword and order them to retreat! This is my will! They are resisting the order!"
