Chongzhen Undergraduates

In addition, Nikan also has the elite firearms of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the Tianzhu Army, which is Kong Youde's troops.

It can be said that the current Nikan controls the most powerful army in Houjin, which is enough to destroy the power of many small countries.

Moreover, the cavalry led by Bath Khan chased the cavalry of the Ming army all the way to Fengyang City. Nikan felt that he had already blocked the Ming emperor in Fengyang, and he would lead the most powerful army to win the most battle exploits.

Fengyang City had nothing to defend, and the main cavalry of the Ming army arrived on the battlefield ahead of time, and occupied Fengyang Mountain first.And Bath Khan went to the direction of Dingyuan in order to join Nikan's main force. The distance between the two camps was fifteen miles, and they could see each other clearly.

The headquarters of the Ming army is in Fengyang Mountain, and the camp of the Jin soldiers is in Dingyuan. The commanders of both sides can see the entire battlefield clearly, and it is hoped that no one bullies the other.

The night before the war was quiet, as if the noisy day was a story hundreds of years ago.

Zhu Youjian, Li Yan, Zuo Maodi, and Li Dingguo stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Dingyuan City in the distance. There were tents stretching for more than a dozen miles and the lights were shining brightly. .

Huang Zongyi followed behind. It was the first time he saw the battlefield with his own eyes. At least the battlefield he saw now was full of a sense of beauty.

At the foot of Fengyang Mountain, the Ming army camp looked much weaker.If the lights of Dingyuan are a city, then the Ming army is at most a small town.

Just looking at this comparison, it is easy for the soldiers of the Ming army to lose confidence, and this kind of sentiment seems to permeate the barracks of the Ming army, even the lights of the fire are flickering.

"Tonight is the last quarter moon, and our main force will be deployed by the moonlight." Li Dingguo stood behind Zhu Youjian, side by side with Huang Zongyi, Li Yan and Zuo Maodi stood on the left and right of Zhu Youjian and stepped back half a step position.

"Secretary Huang, record all this well so that future generations can witness this history." The reason why Zhu Youjian brought Huang Zongyi with him is to let the chief architect experience more things and grow up quickly .

"Yes. I must have truthfully recorded how the Jin Bing was destroyed." Huang Zongyi was very eloquent, because the people standing here except Zuo Maodi are actually young people, and it feels much easier to be with young people.

"Hehe, if Secretary Huang writes romance novels, he must be good at it." Li Yan smiled. He felt that the combination in front of him was very strange. The emperor, the old minister, the scholar, the old Chuangjun department, and the old Western army department.Such five people are combined together.

"General Li Yan is absurd." Huang Zongyi has been with Zhu Youjian for a year, and he still knows how much Zhu Youjian attaches importance to Li Yan.Based on his guess, the future minister of the Ministry of War must be Li Yan.

"Tomorrow's battle, Li Dingguo will be in charge; Zuo Aiqing will be in charge of rescue on the battlefield. Is Mr. Huang interested in fighting with me and General Li Yan?" Zhu Youjian turned around and looked at Huang Zongyi with a smile. He believed that Huang Zongyi, who dared to assassinate the commander of Jinyiwei, must not be a coward.

"Great, I'll sharpen the knife right away." Huang Zongyi never thought that Zhu Youjian would let him go to the battlefield. In fact, he was already itching in his heart.Most men have dreamed of becoming a general since they were young, even those from a scholarly family like Huang Zongyi.

Everyone was happy, it seemed that they had made an appointment to tease Huang Zongyi before tonight.

"I'll give you a pair of bright light armor to keep you majestic." Li Dingguo rushed to the scene.

"Then I can't fall behind, I have a horse lance, made of high-quality mulberry wood, let me give you a good start!" Li Yan continued.

"I don't have any good equipment, so I'll give you a sword. This is my family heirloom." Zuo Maodi untied his sword as he spoke.

"You are all sent, then I will pick a horse and give it to you." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he urged: "It's getting late, go get ready, or you won't have a chance to kill the enemy tomorrow."

Seeing Huang Zongyi running down the hill, everyone burst into laughter.

At dawn, the sun filled the earth like gold, and the whole battlefield immediately became lively.

The first thing to do before a war in this era is to have a meal, but this meal should not be too full, [-]% is enough.Before the sun rose, smoke rose in the camps of both sides. After all the soldiers got up, the camp gradually became lively.

Then after each battalion had enough food, they lined up, and then went to the front of the camp to line up.

The formation of the Ming army was very fast, and it was over in half an hour.However, the number of Jin Bing's team was large, and after a full hour passed, there were still queues coming out of the camp.

The formation of the Ming army is also very simple. It is still a four-wheeled carriage with infantry in the middle, and cavalry on both wings.The only exception today is a single row of cavalry standing behind the chariot formation. In the middle of this row of cavalry stands a white-faced young man wearing shiny bright armor, riding a white horse and holding a white lance. His whole body is shining white. with.

"It's very flamboyant!" Behind Huang Zongyi, Zhu Youjian said to Li Yan very seriously.

"It's a bit like Zhao Zilong in Changshan." Li Yan praised.

"I think we should find an artist to paint it for him." Zuo Maodi said while stroking a few goat's hairs.

"Your Majesty, didn't you give him a war horse?" Ji Biao was a little envious, but he found that the horse Huang Zongyi was riding seemed wrong.

"I can't help it. I originally gave him a black horse. He insisted that it was not good-looking, so he went to the logistics to pick the white horse." Zhu Youjian spread his hands, expressing his innocence.

"Pfft!" Several people were directly amused. It's normal for Huang Zongyi not to know how to look at horses. It will be fun when they fight later.

Unlike Bath Khan, Nikan didn't use the chariot formation to deal with the Ming army's chariot formation, and he couldn't wait to play with the Ming army one after another.

Nikan directly dispatched Kong Youde's Tianzhu Army.

"King Dingnan, there are only [-] infantry on the other side, and your army is twice as many as theirs. How about it, kill them all, and this king will let you make the first contribution."

"Thank you, master, for the reward. Please, I'm going to screw off the heads of these southern barbarians." Kong Youde looked at the car formation opposite, and he felt that he was still very confident, at least he didn't see many cannons put out.

"Bas Khan, you lead all the cavalry on the left; Aixinjueluo Tunqi, you lead my Eight Banners warriors to the right.

In this battle, the Ming army has dispersed their main cavalry, which no longer poses a threat to our army.The southern barbarians didn't know how to use cavalry, so they cut off their own arms, which was just in favor of our army's advantage.

It is to be determined that the King of the South will break the main formation of the enlightened army's central army, and all armies will be able to divide the Ming army from the middle.At that time, the Ming army at both ends can be eaten by you, and the credit will be yours. You only need to leave Chongzhen to the king. "

"Hahaha..." Jin Bing took the lead, and a group of generals were laughing wantonly.

Ni Kan's analysis is correct. There is indeed a huge loophole in the battle formation of the Ming army. The main formation of the Chinese army only has infantry, and the formation is too wide and there is a serious shortage of troops.

The whole formation looks like a tired porter who puts his clothes on a pole on the stone of Fengyang Mountain, and the cavalry is like a basket at both ends of the burden.

As long as the golden soldiers break through the pole in the middle, none of the baskets on both sides can escape.And the shoulder pole in the middle is too wide, which is completely clear to give the golden soldiers a chance to attack.

"Boom!" As a signal of fireworks from the Ming army flew into the sky, the main formation of the Ming army actually started to move towards the Jin soldiers.

"Hahaha..." The entire Jinbing formation began to laugh. Did they think that the mentally disabled coach opposite was playing a suicide attack?

The only decent soldier in the Ming army formation is the shiny general in the center of the formation.

"He is Emperor Chongzhen, catch him for me." Ni Kan pointed to Huang Zongyi and gave the order to attack.

Chapter 398: First Battle Exploration

In such a field battle, the shelling could not affect the infantry's charge at all.Although the cannons of both sides fired at each other, no one cared about the outcome of the battle.

This kind of field battle is no longer a city defense battle, it's a bloodbath, who cares how many people will die today.

Although Nikan did not use the chariot formation, the Tianzhu Army sent dozens of shield chariots modified from large carts, and the infantry desperately pushed towards the front of the Ming army formation.

Immediately behind the shield car are the Tiger Zun Cannon and the Three-Eyed Gun of the Tianzhu Army, and then their gunners.It can be seen that Jin Bing's tactics are also changing, and they are gradually becoming more reasonable.

If this tactic is turned into several assault teams, with machine gun fire support and mortar support, then it will be a proper field assault team in the future.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the golden soldier's shield chariot was loaded with gunpowder packs. No matter how effective it was, as long as it got close to the four-wheeled carriage, it would definitely break a gap in the chariot formation.

From this moment on, the car formation played by Zhu Youjian has been cracked by the enemy.

"Bang!" The Ming army's second signal flare rose into the sky, and all the advancing battle formations immediately stood still.At this time, the chariot formation had advanced to a distance of [-] paces from the enemy, and it had moved forward a lot, but the rear formation left a big gap.

The Ming army's chariot formation opened fire, and all the soldiers hiding in the compartment fired the first round of bullets.Jin Bing's shield car slowed down immediately, and there were some golden soldiers' corpses abandoned on the way forward behind the shield car.

"Bang bang bang..." Another round of gunfire rang out, and several shield vehicles stopped.The golden soldiers of the rear team immediately took advantage of the gap between the reloading of the firecrackers to fill in.
