Valley Emperor

Above the wilderness, thousands of people from both sides were slowly approaching. The new army of the Tang Dynasty did not move forward because of its small strength and because the Ming army took the initiative to attack. Instead, the whole army stopped and then listed Standard field formation.

Hundreds of spearmen are located in the middle army, and they have listed a strict formation of six columns. The spearmen in the front row and even the second row are all heavily armored spearmen wearing armor. They will be defensive and even The core of the attack.

On the two wings of the spearmen, there are two teams of musketeers scattered around each other!

These musketeers are also arranged in a six-column formation!

As a result, a huge rectangular square matrix hundreds of meters long was formed!

In the rear of this huge phalanx, there are other arms, including half a team of about fifty grenadiers, dozens of sword and shield soldiers, archers and Hao Bainian himself.

The formations listed by the Ming army on the opposite side are also tight. Like the new army of the Tang Dynasty and even all the armies of this era, the Ming army is extremely dependent on tight formations when fighting.

Whether it is the age of cold weapons or modern times, whether the army can list a tight and neat formation for combat is always the main criterion for judging whether an army is qualified.

Because only a tight formation can defend or attack, once the formation collapses, it is often the standard of defeat.

The single combat of skirmishers, the battle between small-scale troops, has never been the mainstream on the battlefield.

And a square formation of about 600 people at the forefront of the Ming army is obviously very conspicuous, because the soldiers in the front row of these square formations are all carrying a huge shield.

These shields were one person tall enough to cover the soldiers holding the shields and the soldiers behind them.

The soldiers holding shields were closely arranged in front of them, forming a shield wall that was chopped into movement.

On both sides, there are many wheelbarrows, which are also covered with huge and thick shields. The defense capabilities of these shield cars are stronger than those of the giant shield soldiers.

And these two weapons are the sharp weapons used by the Ming army to fight against Datang's new munitions, and they are also one of their main confidences in winning this battle.

Behind these shields and shield carts, a row of neat bowl-mouth cannons were carried by the soldiers, and behind the bowl-mouth cannons were a large number of swordsmen and spearmen in heavy armor.

Further back, there are at least two hundred archers.

This is a composite phalanx composed of multiple arms, with giant shields and shield vehicles in the front row, followed by artillery, heavily armored melee units, and archers.

Seeing this square, even Hao Bainian couldn't help frowning.

But to his relief, there was only one Ming army in such a square formation, and the remaining few square formations were just ordinary spearmen or sword and shield players.

However, if this phalanx is advanced to one's own array, the opponent's use of bowl guns and bows and arrows will cause a lot of damage to one's own side.

In this case, I am afraid that I will change my previous defensive strategy.

The musketeers and spearmen of the Datang New Army were never used for defense, but for offense!

Once the huge phalanx of 800 people launched an attack, it was enough to crush the enemy several times over.

The speed of the Ming army's advance was not fast, and it could even be called slow, but the opponent's new army of the Tang Dynasty had no idea of ​​advancing, so they just waited for the arrival of the Ming army!

Seeing that the distance between the two sides had been shortened by 100 meters, Hao Bainian still did not order the musketeers to shoot!

Because it was useless to shoot, the new army of the Tang Dynasty had tested the shields of these fake Ming thieves with live ammunition before, and their defense capabilities were not bad, and their muskets could not pose a threat to them at all.

Eighty meters away, Hao Bainian still hasn't ordered!

He is still waiting!

Seventy meters away, Hao Bainian finally gave the order: "Aim!"

However, the Ming army continued to advance. At this time, in fact, the archers on both sides had already begun to shoot arrows by means of projectiles.

The thrown bows and arrows began to cause casualties to the soldiers on both sides, but the number of archers on both sides was not large, and the archers on both sides were not elite. It’s only been three months of training. These archers shoot at a distance of 70 meters, and they are still behind the formation of both sides. This distance has to be extended by a dozen or 20 meters, almost reaching eight or ninety meters. distance in meters.

Bows and arrows at such a distance have poor accuracy and power!

Although there were casualties, they did not cause confusion between the formations of the two sides!

Sixty meters away, at this time, Hao Bainian has already made the grenadiers out!

The best way to deal with these Ming troops covered in turtle shells is to use grenadier grenades. Those shields can block the bullets, but they absolutely cannot block the grenades.

What's more, after the enemy's shield entered a distance of more than 50 meters, even the bullets of the musket could not stop it!

When the grenadiers came out, they raised their muskets with the musketeers, waiting for the final firing order!

The Ming army continued to advance. It didn't take long for them to advance a few meters. After entering a distance of about fifty meters, the Ming army generals in the rear were already excited. At this distance, even if the distance separated by the soldiers in front was added. At a distance of almost 20 meters, their 200 archers have entered an effective range of about 70 meters. At this time, the archers can already exert their real power.

However, before they were happy, they saw all the counterfeit Tang bandits on the opposite side firing together!

The familiar sound of gunfire appeared on the field, and at the same time as the white smoke rose, countless bullets began to hit the shield of the Ming army.

However, the shields that they had high hopes for were punched with small holes by bullets, and then killed the soldiers holding the shields behind the shields. After these soldiers holding the shields were hit, they naturally could not maintain the shields.

As a result, you can see that in front of the Ming army's array, dozens of soldiers with shields fell almost at the same time, exposing the gunners behind the shields!

At this time, the Ming army generals in the rear also knew that the time for the real decisive battle had come, and they all ordered frantically to let the troops in the rear rush forward.

More than 2,000 Ming troops launched a charge at the same time, and while they were running, they didn't even care about the formation. People would even have an illusion when they saw it, as if the mountains and fields in this wilderness were filled with Ming soldiers.

However, Hao Bainian ignored the Ming soldiers rushing up from the rear. He still only had the five or six hundred Ming army forward phalanx in front of him.

The musketeers continued to shoot, and the archers in the back row also kept shooting arrows, causing the soldiers of the Ming army to keep falling. , and brought casualties to the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

The heavily armored spearmen in the front row were all fine, they were protected by armor, and these bows and arrows could not hurt them, but the musketeers and the spearmen in the rear started to suffer a lot of casualties.

After seeing that his soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, Hao Bainian decisively ordered: "The whole army attack!"

The sound of drums sounded, and the spearmen of the new army of the Tang Dynasty moved. They held spears and continued to move forward with steady steps!

And the musketeers also fired the last round of salvos after the Ming army rushed to a distance of about 30 meters, and then rushed out with the muskets already attached to the bayonet!

However, it was not these musketeers or spearmen who made the first effort, but the grenadier team of only fifty people. At this time, they even carried their muskets on their backs, all with grenades in their hands. They were still lined up in complete formation, ignoring that their comrades beside them were constantly being shot by the bows and arrows of the Ming army.

The deputy team officer who led the team held his waist knife high and shouted: "Ignition!"

It was followed by another shout: "Bomb!"

In an instant, dozens of black grenades fell into the Ming army's array, not only those who were left with the shield soldiers and shield carts who were bombed, but also the bowls behind the shields who were preparing to reload the ammunition and fired. The artillerymen of the gun were also killed and wounded.

Even most of the grenades did not land on the front row shield soldiers of the Ming army in the front row, but near the artillery where the bowl guns in the rear were located.

When the bomb is thrown, it is not one round, but several consecutive rounds. When the grenadiers of the Datang New Army are fighting, in addition to the standard guns and ammunition, they carry a total of four grenades.

This means they can throw four grenades in a short amount of time!

Dozens of people throwing together ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ means that one or two hundred grenades will fall into the phalanx of the Ming army and explode in just ten or twenty seconds.

Even if these grenades are only loaded with black powder, the power of the explosion is also not to be underestimated, especially when it explodes in a crowded array. The explosion of one grenade is enough to harvest the surrounding four or five or even seven or eight Ming soldiers. life.

The Ming army generals in the rear watched as the phalanx that acted as the forward set off more than a hundred bursts of smoke and dust in a short period of time, and they all turned ashes.

How could there be so many blooming bullets of these pseudo-Tang thieves, more than the last time at the Lanjiang ferry, and didn't it mean that the blooming bullets of the pseudo-Tang thieves were all over the Lanjiang ferry? How come there are so many here?

After more than 100 rounds of explosions, the spearmen and musketeers of the Datang New Army rushed into the array of the Ming army's forwards braved the smoke of gunpowder.

After watching the hundreds of spearmen of the pseudo-Tang thieves rush into the front line of the Ming army in a sweeping attitude, the deputy Qianhu of the Ming army who commanded the archers in the front line of the Ming army murmured involuntarily: "It's over! "

At this time, the shield soldiers and gunners of the Ming army's vanguard array, as well as those sword shieldmen and spearmen, were either killed or injured in the previous battle, or were greatly frightened, and they could not organize to intercept the bayonet charge of the new Tang army.

Once the melee friendly army in front fails to stop the pseudo-Tang bandit army, then the two hundred or so archers of my own will not have to be completely crushed into scum!

At the same time, the middle-aged general of the Ming army in the rear also took a deep breath: Now, it is time to decide the victory or defeat, and order the entire army to kill those who dare to retreat without authorization! "

Then, he looked back at the personal soldiers and subordinate generals behind him: "Follow me to kill the thieves!"

After all, he just rushed out! ()
