Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 196 Che Linlin Ma Xiaoxiao
The scholars shouted anxiously, and the blood surged in their hearts unconsciously. None of them chose to take a boat to cross south. Xie Kuang even untied the rope on the bank with his own hands, and pushed the boat into the river.

All the scholars watched the boat swing towards the river, and gradually became quiet as the water went away.

At this time, one of them suddenly turned around, returned to the army, picked up his spear, and wiped it like an old soldier. When the people even saw his appearance, they all came back and sat down, either holding their swords, or not stopping. He started to eat dry food, as if his strength increased by every bite.

Liu Heizi, who had just teased them, looked at it, but at this moment Hou leaned over to a scholar, patted him on the shoulder, and sat down beside him, "Don't be afraid~ The Duke of the State has already explained, you will rush in later." Later, I can't hurt you."

The scholar was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his name was Zhao Quan, his style name was Shijie, and he was born in Lizhou. He looked at Liu Heizi, but with a stern face, he said, "Who is afraid! ~"

Liu Heizi smiled lightly, without revealing the timidity in his heart, "The Duke of the State told us earlier that the Qing soldiers were divided into three or six ranks. If the Manchu and Han Eight Banners counted as the first rank, then Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry would be the first rank." Well-deserved No. [-]. No one is here today, we are only fighting against the green battalion with the worst combat power, and they don’t fight at all.”

"But they have 2 people~"

Liu Heizi smiled, "It's okay, Yangzhou was already broken back then, and the Duke only brought a thousand cavalry into Yangzhou to aid Yangzhou, he insisted on leading us remnants and defeated generals, and killed 4000 people from the Zhenglan Banner of the Taihan Army led by Li. Duduo’s Manzhou Zhengbai Banner was also killed by us two thousand. We have seen the first class in the Qing Dynasty before, so are we afraid of those green camps that eat people’s food and don’t shit?”

After Liu Heizi finished speaking, he patted Liu Quan on the shoulder again, then got up and left.

A group of old soldiers from Yangzhou in the distance saw him coming, and they immediately laughed and said, "Liu Heizi, you butcher, you are quite good at comforting people~"

"What do you know, this scholar is from a certain family." Liu Heizi didn't look like a talent just now in front of the veterans, "You guys just don't know how to make progress, and you don't see that the Duke of Guo cares about these talents? As long as this battle is over, I can be sure that their promotion speed will definitely be faster than ours, so I will make friends first, and if I become an officer of a certain person, if I make a small mistake, it will be easy to talk~"

The veterans didn't believe the black man's words, and there was a fight immediately.

At this time, on the horizon ahead, a large banner suddenly appeared, followed by green camps overwhelming the sky and rolling in.

These green battalions are also wearing Ming's armor, but there is a rat-tailed braid under the dish helmet.

Wang Yan picked up the binoculars and looked at it. Looking at his armor, it must be the green battalion adapted from Zuo Menggeng's surrendered troops.

At this time, under the big banner, Zu Kefa, who was wearing heavy armor, also picked up the binoculars he bought from the Dutchman and glanced casually at the river, only to find that Wang Yan had already rectified his troops and horses and lined up by the river. array.

With the appearance of the Green Battalion, there was a sudden sound of alarm ringing on the river bank. Four thousand troops lined up on the river bank, with two thousand infantry in the middle and one thousand elite cavalry on each side.

The formation of 4000 horses and horses was clearly formed, with banners and flags flying, and they stood up according to the regulations. The cars were sparkling and the horses were rustling, and there was silence in the west wind, only the sound of the horses snorting and the wind blowing the banner.

Seeing this, Zu Kefa couldn't help laughing, "Arranging with your back against the water, Wang Shiheng has a false name. I have 2 horses, and I can divide them into five teams. One team will charge, and the fourth team will press the formation. With the momentum of the wheel, I am afraid that he will beat him with a drum. Angry!"

At this time, Zu Kefa took a look, put down the binoculars, swayed on the horse's back, and said with confidence: "Order the whole army to speed up, and I will capture Wang Shiheng alive."

All of a sudden, soldiers from the Green Battalion rushed to the river bank all over the mountains and plains, and the whole earth trembled, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Xie Kuang insisted on standing in front of the troops. Looking at the [-] Qing soldiers rushing towards him, his mouth became parched and his heart beat wildly. He also knew a little about martial arts. He has been at a disadvantage, but this is the first time he has seen this scene of thousands of troops, and it is also the first time he has experienced it.

Feeling his nervousness, Wang Yan couldn't help but let the horse step back a few steps and walk alongside him, "Don't be afraid, just follow behind Ben Du and hit him directly. No matter what the situation, don't stop. Ben Du protects you!" No worries."

Xie Kuang heard the words, and looked at the pro-supervisors who had set up their formations, and couldn't help wondering: "Didn't we wait for the Qing soldiers to attack?"

Wang Yan shook his head, then said with a smile: "Zu Kefa also thinks the same way, so he will definitely lose today. If he stabilizes the formation at this time, Ben Du will still have some troubles, but he saw Ben Du lined up here, and Ben Du There are few superintendents, and I thought that the superintendent would keep the formation and fight back, so he wanted to approach me and set up a formation to fight me head-on, but the superintendent waited for him to stop, and immediately rushed out. If the general doesn't know how to fight, he will definitely be caught off guard and will be defeated."

After Xie Kuang listened, he looked at Duluying, who was rushing to Duluying, and seemed to understand in his heart.

Zu Kefa led hundreds of cavalry and stopped at a place five hundred steps away from the front of the Ming army. After waiting for a while, [-] green battalion soldiers caught up.

At this time, Zu Kefa ordered the flags and drums to wave the red flag, so that the troops of each battalion resumed their formation, lined up at the head of the battalion, and then fought against the Ming army.

But he had just started to dance the flag, and before the drums were set up, Wang Yan drew out his saber in the Ming army on the opposite side, and shouted loudly: "Boys, kill the captives~"

In an instant, Wang Yan clamped his horse's belly and rode in the lead, brandishing his sword and charged out from the formation. Behind him, fifty cavalry guards, protecting the commander's flag, also rushed out immediately.

Xie Kuang was riding on the horse, and his heart suddenly surged with enthusiasm. He shouted loudly to vent his nervousness on the battlefield, but his shouts were quickly drowned out by the infantry following closely behind him.

At this time, the two thousand cavalrymen cruising on both sides also rushed towards the two wings of the green battalion.

Seeing this, Zu Kefa was startled, he had just arrived and hadn't rested yet, some battalion leaders had already lost their ranks, but now Wang Yan directly attacked and killed him, leaving him completely unprepared, it was extremely abominable.

For the cavalry, the distance of [-] steps came in an instant.

In the absence of a tight formation, the green camp will definitely be killed.

On the battlefield, the advantage of having a large number of people can only be brought into play if you can command. If there are too many people and you cannot command, and there is chaos, then it is not as good as the side with fewer and capable people.

Zu Kefa is now facing such a situation. He sees that the Ming army is about to hit, especially the galloping cavalry, which has already made the green battalion panic.

At this time, Zu Kefa's original idea of ​​setting up the formation and then dividing into five teams to fight on wheels was shattered, but he was very decisive and immediately ordered the whole army to charge, hoping to rely on the advantage of numbers to determine the battle situation.

On the other side of the river, Man Dazhuang nervously watched the soldiers and horses of both sides come out together, and Wang Yan's commander-in-chief crashed into the green camp, and suddenly exclaimed, "Hand over."
