Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1387 Wu Jun is in defeat

Wu Sangui's original plan was that the firecracker team and the Ming army would shoot at each other, and the melee infantry would hide behind the firecracker team. The melee infantry behind rushed out from the gap between the Golden Army's firecrackers and crashed directly into the bright array.

At that time, the gunners of the Ming army would definitely be killed or injured when they shot each other, the front line would be scattered, and the firepower would be weakened. Sergeants can cut melons and vegetables.

Under the impact of the Jin army's infantry, the gunners of the Ming army will inevitably open their fronts, and his cavalry will have a chance at this time.

Wu Sangui's idea is very good, and he is very confident in himself, but in the actual implementation, there is one link missing, that is, the volleyball shooting that should have appeared, did not appear.

The Jin Army's firecracker team collapsed unexpectedly and quickly, and retreated without giving the melee infantry behind them time to move forward.

As a result, Jin Jun's plan completely fell through.

After the defeated soldiers dispersed, in front of the Jin army's close-combat phalanx, there appeared the line infantry of the second line of the Ming army, and the line infantry of the third line behind them.

These two fronts were behind the first front, and they didn't suffer much damage during the march. Now the organization is complete and almost full.

Facing the gunners of the Ming army advancing like a wall, the [-] gold army led by He Chengzhi suddenly became embarrassed.

The cold weaponry of the Jin army is much higher than that of the Ming army. They don't have much strength to shoot and kill the Ming army at a long distance, and they can only show their strength in close combat.

At this time, the Ming army advancing a hundred paces away raised their guns, and the bronze cannons on both sides fired from time to time. The iron bullets splashed lumps of dirt in front of the Jin army formation, and several gaps were punched in the Jin army phalanx.

Facing the melee phalanx of the Jin army, the Ming army did not choose to shoot at close range, but chose a longer distance, firing guns to block the attack, in order to prevent the Jin army from close combat.

At this time, the Jin army was standing in place waiting to die. Now they either retreated quickly to escape the range of the Ming army's firecrackers, or rushed forward immediately to prevent the Ming army from firing the blunderbuss.

Wu Sangui's choice was to let the infantry go up, and it was too late to retreat now, and the infantry would definitely be doomed, so it is better to let the Jin army's infantry fight, maybe the situation can be reversed.

In the infantry battle, the horizontal formation restrained the square formation, and the [-] gold army could not control the formation at this time, rushing forward like a flood breaking a bank.

The golden army phalanx, which was like black tofu blocks, immediately disintegrated into dense black spots, rushing towards the embankment formed by the red Ming army.

Facing the firecrackers raised by the Ming army, the soldiers of the Jin army felt terrified, and the fear made them charge forward bravely, wanting to kill the Ming army before the Ming army pulled the trigger, but the distance was beyond their reach. Henggou.

Wu Sangui stood behind on horseback, stretched his neck to look around, clenched the whip and reins tightly in his hands, and couldn't help muttering silently in his heart, "Hurry up, hurry up, He Chengzhi will charge up to this king, and disrupt the Ming thief's line!"

All the golden generals almost stopped breathing, stood on the stirrups, straightened up and looked around, fixed their eyes on the infantry who charged forward, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Why are you fighting for your breath!"

Facing the oncoming Jin army infantry, the Ming army general blew his whistle, and then shouted loudly, "Let go!"

The second line of the Ming army moved forward fifty steps behind the first line. During the march, they did not suffer much shelling. The projectiles fired by the Jin army's firecrackers were basically blocked by the soldiers of the first line, so Their formation is very complete.

With the roar of the officer, a row of guns sounded "bang bang bang", and the soldiers who had released the guns immediately backed away. .

The soldiers of the Jin Army who charged forward were knocked down again and again, and the bodies of the soldiers fell to the ground shaking like chaff.

On the flanks, the artillery team of the Ming army moved forward with the entire front, and the artillery pulled by four horses was quickly dragged forward, rumbled on both sides, and white smoke billowed up, coordinating with the frontal platoon guns Strangled the forward Jin Jun.

A soldier of the Jin Army followed the banner captain and charged forward. When the first row of guns came, the banner captain in front was killed. Immediately afterwards, the fellow next to him also fell to the ground, and his body was thrown by the advancing team. behind.

The melee soldiers of the Jin army died in large numbers before approaching the Ming army. A small number of musketeers rushed to the front, kneeling on one knee and firing muskets. There were gaps in the Ming army's line, but soldiers immediately filled them. , Continue to bombard the Jin Army.

Thirty steps seemed to be the limit for the soldiers of the Jin Army who held cold weapons. Large numbers of soldiers were killed within this distance by the Ming Army platoon.

In the sound of "bang bang bang", soldiers of the Wu army fell to the ground one after another, and many soldiers rushed at them. The comrades in front of them and the brothers on both sides died, and the only one left was his mother. Chong, many soldiers could not help but stop.

Seeing the infantry rushing up against the wall, it seemed that the Ming army's line could not be shaken at all. After the forward was frustrated, the infantry's offensive stagnated. Wang Pingfan pointed at the infantry that was going up in the wild, and suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but said anxiously: " No, He Chengzhi can't stand it anymore!"

The infantry of the Golden Army relied on one breath, and wanted to rush up to close combat, but they couldn't go up now, and their comrades fell down in pieces. The soldiers were blown by the wind, and their blood was cooled. When they saw the corpses on the ground, they immediately calmed down, and As soon as he calmed down, deserters appeared.

Seeing that He Chengzhi was about to be defeated by the platoon, Wu Zhimao next to him also shouted anxiously: "The infantry is about to be defeated."

The situation on the southern front completely collapsed almost instantly.

From the defeat of Guo Tianchun's blunderbuss team to the defeat of the infantry led by He Chengzhi, it took only a short time to pee.

This is a chain reaction, which is the so-called defeat.

If the infantry can rush up to close combat, then the situation will turn for the better, but once they can't rush up, more people will die, and the soldiers of the Jin army will find that the forward charge is just to die, and their morale will immediately be drained.

If no one can stabilize the situation at this time, allowing the soldiers time to retreat and rectify, and stabilize their position again, then the Jin army will be completely defeated, and Wu Sangui's [-] infantry troops will all be wiped out.

At this time, a dangerous aura came over the surface. At the moment of crisis, Wu Sangui couldn't help turning his head to look west, but the reinforcements he was looking forward to did not appear.

This made Wu Sangui feel an ominous premonition, that guy Hauge wouldn't want to take the opportunity to consume him, let's kill two birds with one stone.

Wu Sangui shook his head to drive away the suspicion in his heart. At such a critical juncture, if he hesitated for a moment, the entire formation would be completely defeated, and there would be no chance to gather it.

Wu Sangui's face darkened, and he immediately ordered: "Wang Pingfan, gather your troops and regroup on the front line of Lishan Mountain, and the rest of you will follow the king to charge the formation and stabilize the army."

At the critical moment, Wu Sangui decided to attack with cavalry, giving the infantry a chance to retreat and reset the line of defense.

It can be said that Wu Sangui put all his eggs in one basket this time. Today, he is in charge of the Southern Front Corps of the Jin Army, and he knows that the responsibility is heavy.

Now Wu Sangui could only hope that, temporarily delaying the attack of the Ming army, and waiting for Hauge's reinforcements to arrive, he could use the terrain to reset a front in the Lishan area, or wait for Meng Qiaofang on the northern line to make progress.

At this time, Wu Sangui gave an order, and slapped the horse's buttocks in his hand. The horse was in pain, and with a yelp, he rushed out like lightning. There were nearly [-] horse troops behind him, and without hesitation, they let out a roar like a raging wave. They split into two groups, bypassed the infantry in front, and rushed towards the Ming army's line.

In the formation of the Ming army, Tan Tai and Zhang Cunren each had [-] cavalry troops, each standing behind the two wings of the Ming army.

The [-]-horse army was the only property left in the hands of the Ming army. In order to increase the chances of winning on the southern front, Wang Yan handed over all of them to Li Guo.

The role of these two cavalry is to protect the formation.

Seeing Wu Sangui's cavalry rushing out, Li Guo didn't hesitate and waved: "Let the cavalry fight!"
