Bright Spring

And to attack, that is to fight!This is a chance to turn defeat into victory. After all, Xu Huizu had already arranged an offensive formation before the battle, and deployed as many as 4 to [-] flanking troops behind Hongmu Mountain on the left wing.

Victory and defeat are often in the blink of an eye. If the general is sincere, tenacious, and determined enough, miracles will happen!

But of course this method has huge risks. Can it quickly defeat the enemy's front line?In the current situation, the battle method of continuous consumption and slowly gaining the upper hand is no longer suitable for the current situation!The attack must be fought quickly and break through quickly...at least quickly advance to the artillery positions of the rebels and seize the artillery positions that destroy the rebels!

Once the attack cannot be quick, the official army will not only lose the battle, but also lose even more, losing nothing!

Xu Huizu weighed painfully...

"Boom, boom, boom..." Another round of intensive artillery sounded.Xu Huizu's heart trembled suddenly with the sound of the huge guns. When he looked up at his big formation, many shells had pierced through countless formations again.The position of the officers and soldiers was like a Shura field, with screams and shouts one after another, and chaos broke out everywhere.Some formations have broken up and fled.

Two rounds of shelling can actually defeat some elite troops?This is the elite division of the Ming court guarding the capital!This situation is probably not only because of the sharp artillery of the rebel army, but also because of the low morale of the officers and soldiers and the spread of the mentality of dawdling in the whole army.

"Attack!" Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and said suddenly.

After hearing this, the civil and military people around all looked sideways, looking at both sides of Xu Huizu's profile with various expressions.

"In this battle, my master of the Ming Dynasty must not lose! If you lose, the officers and soldiers will not have the morale to fight again. The survival of the Ming Dynasty, the morality of the world, this is the battle!" Xu Huizu said with a cold expression.

All the generals responded categorically and decisively: "Follow the order of the commander-in-chief!"

Xu Huizu ordered: "The front line continues to move forward. Transport all the heavy artillery to the front line, and fire at that hillside! The main force of the cavalry, all attack! No matter what the cost, take down the artillery line."

"Order!"

The orderly soldiers took the command flag signed by Xu Huizu himself, quickly left the Chinese army, and ran around patting horses.Not long after, the drum horns of the Chinese army sounded again.

Xu Huizu took a deep breath, he felt that his decision was correct!From the perspective of the overall situation and the battle, we must not give up this opportunity... The killer weapon of the rebels is nothing more than the artillery position; They are stronger than the rebels!So the army still has a chance.

At this moment, the drums on the opposite side sounded "Boom, boom, boom..." and the military music of the Ming Dynasty was blown everywhere.The rebels were the first to advance across the board!

"The King of Han is our king..." There were shouts one after another, and amidst the brisk and joyful military music, the fanatical rebels marched in formations.At this time, the sky is still filled with mist, looking at the entire battle line on the ground, you can't see the beginning and the end.

The various departments of the front line of the official army gradually began to move forward.Although many brigades were quite chaotic and pushed forward reluctantly, they were the elites of Ming Dynasty after all, and they hadn't yet reached the point of collapse.

The open field between the two sides is huge in width and less than two hundred steps in depth!At this time, the open space is being swallowed by countless soldiers and horses, and it is getting smaller and smaller.On the grand battlefield, both sides used the whole army assault as their tactic, as if two dark waves of people were slowly approaching.

"Rumble rumbling..." The sound of horseshoes sounded like continuous thunder.The elite cavalry from all over the army moved south one after another, and quickly passed the infantry formation.The banners fluttered in the sky, the Ming armor shone brightly in the morning sun, and countless cherry spears and blades fluttered among the horses.

The sound of horseshoes from the rebel army resounded throughout the world, and the rebel cavalry everywhere also mobilized!

Usually, such a large-scale battle usually consists of repeated charges and consumption in turns, and it may be difficult to decide the winner for a whole day, until the strength and morale of one of the parties are getting stronger and stronger against the trend, and the defeat gradually appears...

However, this battle of Zhili was completely different from previous wars.Even Xu Huizu, the main general, didn't expect it at the beginning; his decision to attack with all his strength was only a temporary decision.

Less than half an hour after the start of the war, the two parties directly invested all their capital and waged a life-and-death decisive battle!

The fighting rhythm of this battle has become very fast.

Chapter 583 A Child's Play, A Dream

Galloping herds of horses were charging in the middle of the battlefield, and some horse teams were rushing in roundabouts.The rising dust and mist mixed together, and the ground was cloudy, like a swirling water flow and a vortex.

The infantry formations on both sides of the north and south also covered the battlefield. There seemed to be no space between the two armies, and they were all filled by cavalry, and countless people flocked together.

Among the infantry ranks of the King of Han Army, the pawns in the front row held shields in one hand and cherry spears in the other, walking in formation with the brothers on the left and right.The king of Han is our king!Sure to win... The cries of shouts one after another almost didn't stop, and the soldiers seemed very frantic|enthusiastic.However, not all the sergeants who walked in front were impassioned, and some of them were still very afraid.

Although most of the forward soldiers of the King of Han Army have experienced more than one tragic battle; but people will feel very scary when they go to the battlefield again.

The horse battle ahead is already in sight.A knight of the King of Han Army lost his long weapon, and suddenly drew his waist knife. He rushed towards the enemy cavalry with his man and horse, and stabbed into the abdomen of a cavalry with a single sword nearby!The enemy cavalry screamed and fell off his horse.The cavalry with a single sword skimmed the enemy's cavalry and pulled out the single sword, as if overthrowing the enemy cavalry.

The number of cavalry of the King of Han Army was not as large as that of the official army, and not all of them were dispatched.Soon the official cavalry rushed through the cavalry from all over the place. The depth in the middle of the battlefield was very small.

"Bang bang!" The two enemy cavalry crashed into the infantry ranks of the King of Han's army at the same time, and the spear and shield soldiers in the front row and the two pike soldiers in the back were directly knocked over!Crazy screams and horses neighed.Then a galloping horse finally slowed down in front of the formation. The horse neighed long and turned to the right. The front half of the horse lifted into the air; The man almost fell off the reins, and his saber was raised high in the air.

A soldier of the King of Han Army in the queue suddenly yelled, and rushed out with his spear and shield.When the knight saw someone coming, he roared in horror, but the knife in his right hand couldn't reach his left wing.The infantry of the King of Han threw away their shields, raised their spears with both hands, and stabbed at the waist of the enemy cavalry!The knight screamed "Ah!"

"Boom boom boom boom..." The King of Han guns on the high ground behind the pond fired again, and piercing whistles sounded in the air.The soldiers looked up at the sky, but they couldn't see the artillery shells. When people heard the whistling sound, the shells had already hit the large formation on the opposite side.

Another group of officer cavalry charged and killed the cavalry of the King of Han's army. They ran towards the front of the infantry, roaring as they reined in their horses.

The infantry phalanx of the King of Han Army nearby stopped advancing, the general yelled, and the infantry in the first three rows squatted down. "Bang bang bang..." A row of guns rang out intensively, and the cavalry soldiers not far away screamed incessantly.Seeing that the three rows of spear shield soldiers and long spear soldiers in front of the Hanwang army's phalanx did not continue to come, the officer cavalry quickly reined in their horses, turned around, and fled in a rout.

The infantry and cavalry of both sides kept squeezing and approaching, the chaos on the battlefield began to spread, and several places became a melee of infantry and cavalry.Some cavalrymen were pulled off their horses and even scuffled with the infantry.

The scattered infantry of the King of Han's army ran back once the threat was reduced, and the follow-up phalanx, which was ready to go, pushed forward and continued to fight.The firecrackers on the battlefield were flickering everywhere, the sound of horseshoes, shouts, and the impact of weapons mixed with the sound of bows and arrows, and the whole land was filled with a loud noise of "buzzing...".

Originally, the artillery position of the King of Han Army was only two or three hundred steps away from the front line of the official army!But just these two or three hundred steps, the officers and soldiers dispatched a large number of cavalry to attack, but they couldn't advance at all!Only casualties on both sides continued to mount.

After a while, more than forty Hanwang cannons would launch a salvo that shook the battlefield, and it has not stopped until now.All the horses behind the officers and soldiers were exposed to the range of the artillery because the whole army advanced to attack.

The rear formations of the officers and soldiers in the north have already begun to flee in large numbers. This scene may not last until the moment when the front line captures the artillery formation of the King of Han Army...

Two or three hundred steps!Here it seems to be far away in the sky.

At the southern foot of Hongmu Mountain in the east, the sounds of muzzle guns, fire guns, and horses neighing could also be faintly heard.After breaking through Wang Bin's troops, the infantry and cavalry of the officers and soldiers had already approached the right wing of the main force of the Han Dynasty army; they were fighting with the infantry phalanx and cavalry that formed the defensive formation.

On the flat land on the west side of Hongmu Mountain, the situation seems to be developing faster with the 10,000+ cavalry fighting between the two sides!

There were more than a dozen cannon shots from the front and back of the official army formation, and the huge shells fired by the Hongwu cannon roared in the air, and they all smashed in the direction of the Hanwang army's artillery formation.

However, the artillery array of the King of Han Army's artillery array is very sparse, and the dozen or so cannons of the official army did not fire at once, and hit everything; some shells even smashed into the pond in front of the hillside, causing huge water Waves, prodigal sons and splashes flew into the air, and the shore was wet | wet.

At this time, the long-range shooting of heavy artillery can't be accurate to within a few steps at all, and can only hit an approximate position.Whether it is the Hongwu Cannon of the official army or the Hanwang Cannon of the Hanwang Army, it has the same effect.Whether you can hit a smaller target depends on your luck... or the coverage of hundreds of gun salvos|.

After a while, the army's artillery array fired a salvo, and the huge shells smashed into the dry mud, and the clods and dust splashed violently, as if they had exploded. With a loud bang, a Hanwang cannon was hit by stone bullets and jumped up, fell to the ground and rolled straight.Two soldiers around were injured by stones shattered by stone bullets and screamed loudly, and another soldier was hit on the head by a bounced King of Han cannon and fell to the ground dead.

"Boom boom boom..." The reloaded Hanwang guns made huge roars one after another, and the flames flickered and shot out in the sound of the guns!

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu led a group of cavalry to the rear of the front line. He watched the hazy scene deep in the smoke, mist and dust, and gradually let out a relaxed breath from his mouth.

"Win." Zhu Gaoxu said.

The formation of the officers and soldiers resembled the Yanyue Formation, which was too deep and densely populated. After being fired by the King of Han's artillery for several rounds, it was simply a living tragedy!The elite officers and soldiers who just wanted to muddle along couldn't hold it back, and more and more people broke up and fled in the rear, and they spread in all directions.

The enemy's infantry and cavalry on the front line are fierce and very strong, but the attack is weak and the array is turbulent, and there is no progress at all!Relying on the superiority of troops in the front line, and constantly rotating to resist, the speed of the collapse of the officers and troops is very high, otherwise they would have collapsed early!

The battle is still going on, and the fierce fighting has not stopped.But any general can see that the outcome of this battle has already been decided; unless a meteorite falls from the sky and smashes into the formation of the King of Han army, the gods will not be able to save the battle between the officials and the army!

Perhaps I have seen too many scenes of corpses strewn across the field, but at this time Zhu Gaoxu's ease and pleasure occupied the main senses of the body.

From the "Battle of Criminology" that started in the middle of the previous year to the first month of this year... In less than two years, Zhu Gaoxu fought from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Huguang. scribe!The journey from Huguang to Zhili, which lasted more than two thousand miles, took only a dozen days.

But the war is finally over today!Zhu Gaoxu didn't think that after Xu Huizu's defeat in this battle, there would still be a siege battle in the capital.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse and did not leave the battlefield, but he no longer cared about the situation on the battlefield. He had a thoughtful expression, as if he was thinking about something else.

...The frantically fleeing crowd is everywhere!Some people who fell to the ground were repeatedly trampled and shouted, and the number of trampled casualties continued to increase.On the huge battlefield, the huge crowd, like a fire in a busy city, all fled in panic.
