Ming Zuo

Chapter 669
I have to admit that things like experience cannot be taught by teaching.

Improvements can only be made by the generals working hard on the battlefield and slowly accumulating summaries.

Tang Wenhuan is the best student in the school, excellent in all subjects.

Today, he met Azig, a veteran on the battlefield.

Azig, of course, had no military school.

All of his combat abilities come from hunting when he was a child and honing himself on the battlefield all the year round.

Although his combat ability is not systematic or professional enough, it is very practical.

This time he used his own experience to teach Tang Wenhuan a real lesson.

Dorgon was facing Tang Wenhuan's well-organized front, so he couldn't think of any way to break it, causing Wu Zhenchaoha to suffer heavy losses.

But Azig is on the side, and has been cruising, constantly observing.

Azig is like a cheetah, always looking for the weakness of his prey.Once you find it, you will bite hard.

It was really found by him.

Because they were going to fight against Wu Zhenchaoha, the Marines moved forward unknowingly.

This led to a gap of more than [-] meters between the front and the flanks.

Azig's eyes lit up, and he immediately made targeted deployments.

"Smoke, let go!"

During the Battle of Lushun, the effect of smoke was very good.Since then, it has been kept in the post-Jin army.

To deceive the eyes of the new army at this time, Azig certainly thought of this method.

The Eight Banners cavalry galloped back and forth, throwing smoke non-stop.

Soon, the sides of the battlefield were shrouded in thick smoke.

With the smoke, Azig started tactical deception.

"Subai, lead your men and horses to go around from the left. Attack with all your strength, and you are not allowed to retreat."

Subai took the order, led the formation out of the queue, and galloped westward along the edge of the smoke.Then he turned suddenly and went straight to the silhouette of the new army.

Guarding the flank of the new army was the [-]th Battalion.

Guan Xinwei, commander of the Seventh Battalion, saw that the Eight Banners cavalry had finally launched a charge, and quickly made arrangements.

"Turn right, ready to shoot."

Amidst the sound of rushing footsteps, the Seventh Battalion faced Subai who was rushing forward, and Rulin's muskets would definitely cause great damage to the enemy.

Guan Xinwei was not nervous at first.

Based on his experience, these Raiders of the Eight Banners would never dare to rush into the effective range of the musket.

It is estimated that it is another trial.

But this time he was wrong.

The cavalry led by Subai had no intention of slowing down at all, and rushed straight towards the formation of the Seventh Battalion.

The earth-shattering sound of horseshoes has begun to affect the soldiers of the new army.

The berserk aura rushing towards their faces cheered up everyone, just waiting for the order to fire.

[-] meters...

The Eight Banners cavalry did not slow down.

Five hundred meters...

The Eight Banners cavalry did not turn.

Four hundred meters...

"Fire!"

Guan Xinwei didn't dare to wait any longer.

The speed of the cavalry is too fast. If you don't fire at this distance, it will be difficult to fire enough firepower.

White smoke filled the formation of the Seventh Battalion, and countless bullets covered the Eight Banners cavalry who charged desperately.

The high-speed galloping cavalry collided with even faster bullets, and immediately the blood arrows flew wildly, causing dozens of Jurchens to fall off their horses.

Even so, the Eight Banners cavalry still had no intention of retreating.

Since the Eight Banners cavalry did not withdraw, Guan Xinwei could not be merciful.

The second platoon of soldiers stepped forward and fired again.

As the distance got closer, the Eight Banners cavalry suffered more and more casualties.

Guan Xinwei did not think that this group of cavalry could rush to the front of the Seventh Battalion alive.

Just when he couldn't figure out why these Jurchens committed suicide, the sound of galloping horses pierced into his eardrums from the left rear of the Seventh Battalion.

He looked back in astonishment.

On the right side of the smoky curtain wall, the Eight Banners cavalry with a larger number had rushed to within [-] meters.

And judging from the intention of this team of cavalry, it is obvious that they want to insert between the seventh battalion and the frontal battlefield.

Once they succeed, the frontal new army will definitely face the enemy.

Guan Xinwei lost his soul, and before he had time to think about it, he shouted: "Nineteenth Company, stop them."

The [-]th Company, which was still at the back of the queue, heard the order, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Although there were only more than a hundred of them, even though there were thousands of Eight Banners cavalry rushing at high speed, they still did not hesitate.

Cui Zhen, the commander of the [-]th company, shouted at Guan Xinwei when he left the queue.

"Battalion Commander, don't worry, there will never be a Tartar rushing over!"

With tears in his eyes, Guan Xinwei stared blankly at the back of the Nineteenth Company.

He had no idea how many people from the [-]th Company would be able to come back alive after this battle.

But there was no way, in order to ensure the victory and to cover the army, he could only watch helplessly as more than a hundred people from the [-]th Company died generously.

The only thing he could do was to turn his head and stare at the cavalry led by Subai.

"Fire with all your strength and destroy this group of Tartars."

As long as they fight fast enough to wipe out Subai's troops, the [-]th Battalion will have a chance to rescue the [-]th Company.

Cui Zhen didn't know what the battalion commander was thinking, and he didn't think too much about it.

While leading the whole company to gallop, Cui Zhen made the final deployment.

"Third row, throw nails; second row, lay mines."

Even if the Nineteenth Company is running on the inside line, its speed is faster than that of Azig.

So they ran to the place where Azig was stopped head-on.

Cui Zhen knew very well that with only one company of them, no matter how brave they were, they could not block thousands of cavalry with their flesh and blood alone.

At this time, of course it is of no use.

In this era cavalry is the absolute king of war.

In order to deal with the cavalry, the new army's equipment has long been arranged.

The third row ran to the front of the line, and the soldiers took out large pockets from their backpacks.

The lid lifts off.

As they ran back, they poured out the contents.

The things inside are all triangles with sharp iron nails, which have the same function as barbed wire.

This thing is useless against infantry, but it is definitely a sharp weapon against galloping horses.

The second platoon threw mines on the ground in an emergency right behind them.

At this time, we can't think about the concealment of landmines, and we don't have time to dig holes, so we just throw them on the ground.

Anyway, even if the cavalry charging at high speed saw it, could they still avoid it?
Two hastily lined up defenses were deployed in a row, and the second and third rows returned quickly.

Standing behind the first row, began to prepare musket fire.

In just a short while, the Eight Banners cavalry led by Azig had rushed within [-] meters.

Seeing that only a hundred people were blocking the front, Azig showed a cruel smile.

"Kill them, leave no one behind."

The speed of the Eight Banners cavalry increased by another quarter, and they crashed into the [-]th company like lightning.

Cui Zhen felt that he couldn't breathe due to the strong wind blowing in front of him.

But at this time, you must not back down.

The safety of the entire army is in their hands.

"Fire!!!!!!"
