The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!!"

The drums of the Qing army beat repeatedly, and the low-pitched conch resounded on the battlefield at the same time, the two intertwined and mixed together.

After repeated bombardment by platoons of guns and artillery, the soldiers in the front line of the Qing army almost collapsed.

It's just that... in the middle of the battle, because of the artillery of the Ming army, Chasuka arranged the light armored archers who should have been in the front line in the middle position, and arranged the follower and auxiliary soldiers who should have been in the back in the front as cannon fodder.

Most of the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers in the Qing army were killed by the volleys of guns and shotguns fired by the Hanzhong army, and the light-armored archers who followed were also severely injured.

The dead soldiers at the end did not suffer too many casualties, and the Qing army guard barracks behind them also did not suffer many casualties.

The dead soldiers of the Qing army in the rear strode forward. The casualties of the soldiers in the front did not have a great impact on their morale. Their formation was still tight, and their pace was still steady.

Accompanied by the rapid sound of war drums, the Qing army's dead soldiers in heavy armor and holding weapons formed a large formation, pressing towards the Hanzhong army's formation like a wall.

The casualties in the front line did not scare the dead soldiers of the Qing army in the rear. They traveled between white mountains and black waters all year round, and they were used to death and blood.

On the contrary, the blood and death aroused the blood courage in the hearts of these Jurchen hunters.

They fought wildly, shouted angrily, and vented loudly.

"Kill all these Nikans, leave no one behind!!"

A group of armored soldiers of the Qing army, dressed in heavy armor, swept across the wilderness like a tide, and rushed towards the formation of the Hanzhong army. There was no fear and timidity in their eyes.

After the battle of Saerhu, they never feared these Ming people who lived in the south!
At this moment, there is only one thought in their hearts, that is to kill them, step forward, and kill all these southern soldiers.

The firearms owned by these Ming troops made them fear and panic.

Facing firearms such as firecrackers and cannons, the martial arts they honed since childhood, the physique they honed since childhood, and the experience they have experienced in hundreds of battles are of no use at all.

When the firecrackers hit and the shells rolled, there was no way to resist them, and in the end they could only end up dying.

The drums of the Hanzhong Army sounded like thunder, and the dense drums were like a storm blowing from the mountains and deep valleys.

A group of armored soldiers of the Hanzhong Army continued to speed up their steps following the rhythm of the drums. Long-term training allowed them to maintain a neat pace under the rapid drums.

There was no trace of fear in their eyes.

Except for the Liao cavalry in the army, most of the remaining soldiers of the Hanzhong Army are from Shaanxi. They have lived in Shaanxi for generations, thousands of miles away from Liaodong.

The Qing army has never been defeated, so why have they ever been defeated? !
Since joining the army, they have hardly stopped various trainings.

Flying thousands of miles and running thousands of miles, they once fought with thousands of rogues in the pool of blood, and emerged from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

As for the Liao cavalry in the army, there was no fear in their eyes.

As Liao people, the hatred between them and the Qing army is almost impossible to resolve.

When they were in Liaodong, they had no choice. They were just ordinary generals, and they had no independent power.

They have courage, but the generals at the top have no courage, and the generals who lead the army have no courage.

But now everything has changed, and their generals are not lacking in courage.

The sound of rumbling footsteps accompanied the advancement of the Hanzhong army formation, swept forward with the sound of high-spirited war drums, and collided head-on with the shouts of killing in the Qing army formation.

The bloodiest hand-to-hand combat is coming!
At a distance of twenty steps, even the eyebrows and eyes of the people in the opposite formation can be clearly seen from this distance.

At this time, the soldiers in the formation of both sides saw the appearance of the other side, and both of them felt a chill in their hearts.

"Ugh——"

The low sound of the conch horn came from behind the Qing army's formation, and the pace of the Qing army's formation accelerated again.

Almost at the same time, a large number of throwing axes and Tie Guduo and other short soldiers for throwing suddenly flew out of the large formation of the Qing army.

Many of the cavalry of the guard camp who followed were already dismounted and fought on foot at this time, and they seized the last opportunity to shoot heavy arrows.

"put!!"

At the same time, there was a loud swan sound in the formation of the Hanzhong Army.

The dismounted Liao cavalry in the rear all shot heavy arrows in their hands.

Chen Wang knew the tactics of the Qing army clearly, how could there be no means of countermeasures.

Arrows exchanged in front of the two phalanxes, throwing objects spread all over, and soldiers on both sides kept screaming and falling down and being slandered.

But no one stopped moving forward.

Thousands of people lined up and rushed in together, how could they allow people to retreat and dodge?

When the person in front falls, the people in the back step on the body of the person in front and continue to move forward;

Huge pressure impacted the nerves and will of the front soldiers of the two armies.

"kill!!!"

Deafening shouts of killing burst out from the formation of the Hanzhong Army, sweeping towards the large formation of the Qing army rushing straight ahead.

Thanks to the long-term training, even when people fell down, the formation of the Hanzhong Army was still straight.

A group of armored soldiers of the Qing army who came straight forward also shouted loudly. They shouted in incomprehensible Manchu, roared and roared with ferocious expressions.

In front of them was a forest made up of spears one after another, and as far as the eye could see, there were densely packed spear stabs, and those spear stabs had been put down at this time, and they were charging straight towards them.

The formation of the Qing army became more and more eager. The sword and shield soldiers in the front row were arched and running quickly, and the armored soldiers in the back row all put down their spears and swords one after another. They shouted in unison and launched a charge against the formation of the Hanzhong army. The dark blue straight line evolved into a curve in the wilderness.

In the blink of an eye, the dark blue torrent collided with the sweeping red tide, and amidst the screams of the mountains and tsunami, the two armies crossed the gap in the middle and joined hands in hand-to-hand combat.

The two streams of iron collided head-on, and countless waves of blood were stirred up in an instant, and the stench of blood permeated everywhere in an instant.

Regardless of ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, spearmen are basically the protagonists of close combat in the cold weapon era.

It is much easier to train a qualified spearman than the difficult sword and shield.

Moreover, one long spear and one hundred long spears are not simple addition and subtraction. With the increase of spearmen, quantitative changes can also produce qualitative changes.

When the pikemen form a large formation, the opponent often has to pay a huge price if they want to break through.

The front line of the Hanzhong Army is almost all spearmen, and there are also a lot of spearmen in the Qing army.

However, the Qing army was the one that launched the attack, and most of the people in the front line were still holding swords and shields.

In many cases, the battle between the two armies is a mutual strangulation between the gun formations, to see which side can withstand the casualties and persist.

But the sword and shield can also break through the spear array. The advantage of the spear lies in its length, but the disadvantage of the spear is also its length.

As long as the sword and shield soldiers can rush forward and open a gap in any place, a formation of long spears will soon be fragmented.

The Ming army has a numerical advantage, and the number of cavalry is extremely large, and they are now encircled from all directions.

Surrounded on all sides, it is a desperate situation.

If you want to survive from desperation, you must break through the road first before closing the siege.

This is how they won the Battle of Salhu.

Depending on how many times I have come, I will only go all the way.

As long as you break all the way first, you can greatly reduce the morale of the enemy.

Husband war, courage also.

Once the courage is lost, the battle will be lost.

Every time they defeated the Ming army for a while, the rest of the Ming army would scramble to flee for their lives, or hesitate to save their strength.

The generals of the Ming army can fight only servants, and if the servants in their hands are gone, the officials will be able to do it.

As opponents of the Ming army, they couldn't understand it better.

The horns sounded urgently, the battle drums rang, and the formations of the two sides were rushed into chaos. The generals and schools of the two armies shouted loudly to maintain the formation.

Blossoming crimson waves kept rising in the tide, the sounds of swords plunging into flesh, the sound of blunt weapons hammering bone, and the shrill screams continued continuously.

The sharp knives and sharp spears are constantly harvesting human lives.

A Qing army sword and shield soldier wearing a cloth armor lowered his figure to avoid a spear that was stabbing straight at him, and then bowed his body to bully him.

Then use the upper edge of the shield in his left hand to prop up the barrel of another long spear, and the Shun knife in his right hand leans against the end of the last long spear in front, pushing Shun forward quickly.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Qing army are all experienced veterans. They have fought old battles, and they are familiar with breaking the sword and shield.

The Qing saber and shield hand moved forward with a grim expression, broke through the formation and selected the front, and he has already won the first victory of this battle!

Usually at this time, the psychological defense line of the Ming army's pikemen has basically collapsed.

As long as they take advantage of the situation and rush into the army formation, the spearmen of the Ming army will collapse in an instant.

It's just... his vision quickly fell into the void.

Just as he took a step forward, a long spear protruded out like a poisonous snake, stabbing fiercely at his chest.

The Qing army's sword and shield were swift, and he retracted the shield to protect his chest.

A piercing sound suddenly sounded, and the huge force caused the body of the shield in the hand of the Qing saber and shield to tilt. Before he could react much, another long spear attacked again.

The sharp tip of the spear stabbed head-on, directly piercing through the collar on the neck of the Qing army's sword and shield hand, and piercing the Qing army's throat.

When the armored soldiers of the Qing army rushed into the formation, they were almost always attacked by several weapons. Even if they were lucky enough to charge close, they would be dealt with by the Liao cavalry who dismounted and fought on foot in the rear.

In the formation of the Hanzhong Army, densely packed long spears stabbed out and retracted continuously, and the formation of long spears with a length of one foot and four feet blocked the charge of the Qing army's large formation.

Most of the standard long spears of the Ming army are one foot two feet five inches, and the long spears produced by the Military Weapons Bureau of Hanzhongwei are one foot four feet long and one foot five inches long.

An inch is long and an inch is strong. Longer spears are more beneficial in combat, but they have higher requirements for the quality and skills of soldiers.

The same situation was repeated on every part of the front. The reason why the spear formation was difficult to break was precisely because when the spearmen gathered together to form a spear formation, not only the soldiers in the first row could use their spears to attack, but also the spearmen in the second row, third row, and even the fourth row and fifth row could also participate in the attack and defense.

However, the coordination between multiple rows of spearmen requires long-term training and a lot of actual combat. Otherwise, once they encounter experienced sword and shield soldiers, they will be defeated in an instant.

As for the Hanzhong Army under Chen Wang's command, what they lack most is training and actual combat.

Although facing the Qing army and facing the rogue bandits were two extremes, their long-term training still allowed them to block the first wave of the Qing army's offensive.

The sounds of guns piercing flesh, swords colliding, and iron armor piercing were heard endlessly. People on both sides kept falling down. The dead and wounded in front of the two armies lined up.

On the battlefield that was more than 100 steps long, the military formations of both sides strangled together, like a huge meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers on both sides.

In the middle of the Qing army, Chasuka looked at the direction of the front with a gloomy expression.

From the very beginning when the Ming army launched a charge, he knew that this battle might be difficult.

In the battle, although the Ming army was at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, they did not collapse.

The Ming army standing in front of them was different from all the Ming troops he had encountered before.

The soldiers in the front line fell, and the soldiers in the back line came forward without hesitation.

Chasuka looked beyond the former position and looked at the rear of the Ming army's front line.

Behind the spear formation of the Ming army is a group of armored soldiers wearing bright helmets and armors. Those armored soldiers seem to be set up to mark the guard barracks in their army.

He was watching those armored soldiers dismount from their horses and fight on foot.

Chasuka's eyes turned to the two wings. The Ming army on the two wings was extremely numerous. At the beginning, the Ming army on both wings had only about a thousand infantry, but now the number of Ming troops gathered on both wings exceeded three thousand.

He arranged for the armored soldiers to gain a lot of advantages on the two wings, but the Ming army on the two wings did not collapse, and they were still resisting tenaciously.

Chasuka's face was livid, when did the Ming army become so tenacious.

"Blow the suona, switch to attack!"

Chasuka let go of the last thought in his mind and issued a new order.

The top title on his neck is definitely lost, the most important thing right now is to preserve his subordinates as much as possible.

The loud suona sound spread throughout the large formation of the Qing army in an instant, and resounded in the field outside Zhending City.

Suona's voice was extremely penetrating, even if it was hundreds of steps away, Chen Wang still heard it clearly.

The suona sound from the Qing army formation was extremely abrupt, Chen Wang subconsciously grasped the whip in his hand, he knew very well what the suona sound represented.

Chen Wang raised his eyes to look at the large formation ahead, but he did not see the white armored soldiers of the Qing army in Ming armor.

While Chen Wang was searching, there was a sudden loud noise from the left.

Chen Wang's heart sank, and he turned his head sharply to look to the right.

On the left wing Sun Chuanting's post-inspection left battalion formation had collapsed, and several teams of white-armored soldiers of the Qing army in silver-white armor stabbed into the formation like sharp swords, messing it up into a mess.

The wandering cavalry of the Qing army had also begun to gather in the direction of the left wing, while the right wing and frontal Qing army retreated like a tide.

The armored cavalry guards in the Qing army burst out and began to divide the battlefield to cover the withdrawal.

Originally I didn’t want to write so many war scenes, but I didn’t control it well. I wrote too much at once, and the plot will be pushed immediately later.
