Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 514 Respective Countermeasures
The military flag of the Five Loyalty Army is based on the theory of the Five Elements, with the Five Elements Divine Beast, loyalty to gold, and the Western Divine Beast, the White Tiger.

Many Wu soldiers always thought that what they met was just a motley army from Guizhou, but they didn't expect to meet the Five Loyalty Army.

Hu Guozhu's heart skipped a beat, isn't Gao Yigong's Zhongzhi Army defense area in Hu Nan?How to get out from Guizhou?He was very happy to chase and kill Xi Kou, why did he meet his old enemy after chasing after him!

In the Xiangyang battle last year, Wu Sangui and Azige had a combined force of [-], but they did not take down Xiangfan, who was guarded by Gao Yigong.

Hu Guozhu frowned. Although the Zhongzhi Army relied on the city wall to defend at the beginning, it was also strength to make the [-] Qing soldiers helpless.Gao Yigong is a general of the Shun Army, and now he is one of the five governors under Wang Yan's command, so he must not be underestimated.

Wu Bing, who had been contemptuous of the Ming army just now, showed nervousness before he knew it, and an uneasy atmosphere slowly spread in the formation.

The river is narrow, and there is only such an open area. Twenty thousand Wu soldiers have already formed a formation. It is not easy to retreat completely, and they can only fight one battle.

Wu Jun is not only concerned with Ning cavalry, but also has heavy steps. He is not inferior to the Ming army in all aspects, and is even stronger than the Ming army.Xia Guoxiang saw the change of anger in the army, turned his head, looked at the large formation of bird guns behind him, and then at the Baimen Fulangji in front of the formation, and said to Hu Guozhu: "The opponent is Gao Bizheng, you and I should be more cautious, today the firearms I have it, and I also have artillery, as long as we don't waste our time fighting and stay on the defensive, even though there are many opponents, they will definitely be unable to do anything to us!"

Hu Guozhu nodded. He was no longer thinking about defeating the Ming army in an hour. The Wuzhong army had gained a reputation in the past two years, so he had to put aside his contempt.

At this time, soldiers of the Ming army were still pouring in, and it was estimated that there were more than 4 people entering the open area, and there was no intention of stopping.This made the hearts of Wu Bing soldiers change from nervousness to anxiety and fear.

Hu Guozhu also cursed secretly in his heart, lamenting that his luck was bad, and he bumped into the main force of the Ming army at once, but he felt the uneasiness in the army, and immediately raised his voice and said: "I will pass on my general order, and the army must not move rashly. When they come to attack, they will not be able to attack." Tell them to taste the taste of bird guns and artillery!"

In the confrontation between Ming and Qing, most of the battles were fought by the Qing and defended by the Ming. After a long time, they formed a habit. Wu Bing thought that he wanted to attack the Ming army, which was almost under his control. They would not be afraid of any bandits, but there was Loyalty to the army, they are a little vain from top to bottom.

At this time, after listening to Hu Guozhu's order, the officers at all levels suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

It's true that the Five Loyalists are powerful in the world, but speaking of them, the Five Loyalists are better at defending, and Gao Yigong also relied on defending Xiangfan, so he was ashamed and famous in Jingxiang!

Now that the status has been changed and Wu soldiers come to defend, the Ming army has the same equipment and Wu soldiers are not bad at all. Are you afraid of his five loyal troops?

On the other side, the Ming army is rapidly deploying.

Gao Yigong took a binoculars and observed the formation of the Qing army. He found that there were not many cavalry in the formation that the Ming army feared the most.

What will be going on now will be a real infantry battle, which is what Gao Yigong is good at. With 7 horses, can't they defeat [-] Qing soldiers?A smile appeared on Gao Yigong's face.

"Look, Dudu!" At this moment, Liu Tichun who was on the side suddenly pointed at Qingzheng and said.

Just as Gao Yigong put down the binoculars, Wen Yu looked in the direction he was pointing at, and suddenly put the binoculars to his eyes for a closer look, and found a hundred or so gun carriages in front of the formation, and three guns behind the shield wall. He was startled at the row of bird gunners. After putting down the binoculars, he couldn't help talking to himself: "Flanger? Fire gun array?"

At this time, he was afraid of making a mistake, so he identified it in detail. After he was sure, his brows immediately frowned.

"Captain, the Qing army is waiting for us to charge, but they have deployed hundreds of Flang machines in front of the formation, and there are also bird gun formations in the formation. If they attack from the front, the casualties must be huge." Wang Ji of the former army also found the problem and rushed to In front of Gao Yigong, he explained the situation.

The current Qing army is equipped with the standard Ming army.

Although in recent years, a large number of Ming troops surrendered to the Qing court, Jiangbei surrendered more than 50 at once. These troops are all equipped by the Ming Dynasty, but because the quality of Ming Dynasty firearms is worrying, there is no replenishment after a period of time. In the end, most of them were the same as the current Zhongzheng, and the firearm configuration was at least reduced to less than [-]%, but the current Qing soldier's firearm configuration was at least [-]%.

As Gao Yigong who had fought against the Ming army many times, he didn't dare to take a peek at such an enemy soldier.Back then, Sun Chuanting's men and horses looked like this, and they were in a hurry to deal with them.

This hundred-door French machine covers the front, plus three rows of bird guns shoot in turn. If there are cavalry, they can charge up. After all, the cavalry is fast, and it only takes three or four rounds before they can reach the front. But the infantry attacked head-on and couldn't keep up with the speed. From the time they entered the range of the artillery to the hand-to-hand combat, how many shots, how many guns, and how many arrows would they have to suffer?

Gao Yigong immediately called several major generals to discuss tactics.

The Qing soldiers put on a defensive posture and had sharp firearms, so it was indeed more difficult to fight.

Liu Tichun suggested: "Captain, I think we can only use the old method."

"The old method?" Gao Yigong sighed, Liu Tichun's old method naturally refers to the method used by the Shun army to defeat the Ming army. To put it bluntly, it is to rush forward with cannon fodder, and wait for them to rush to the front to attract the enemy infantry. When fighting, send elites to detour directly to attack the enemy's main formation.

Gao Yigong hesitated for a while, then Wang Ji said again: "Du Du, the last general and Miao Bing were in front this time to look out for the army, and found Miao Bing, going up the mountain into the forest, as if walking on flat ground. The mountains on both sides of the river beach are steep. , It is difficult for our army to walk, but for the Miao soldiers, there is no problem. The last general suggested that the chieftain soldiers and horses can go around and attack the Qing soldiers' flanks."

Gao Yigong thought for a while after hearing the words, and felt that this method was good. He even wanted the Miao soldiers to go directly to cut off the return of the Qing soldiers, but the Qing army would definitely raise their vigilance when they saw Miao soldiers entering the forest.It was fine for the Miao soldiers to attack the flanks. Once the Miao soldiers left the forest and rushed back, the Qing soldiers would definitely retreat.

In this way, although the Ming army can chase and kill, but due to the limitation of the terrain, the effect is definitely not great. Once this Qing army is allowed to cross the Yangtze River and Wu Sangui is prepared, it will be difficult for the Ming army to cross the river.

"Send an order to Yang Yanchang to supervise [-] Miao soldiers to attack the left side of the mountain in a detour. Then send an order to Zhang Xianzhen and Wang Jiye to supervise [-] troops to attack from the front. Wang Ji, your rear warriors are ready."

Gao Yigong ordered loudly, with very clear thinking. Seven thousand Miao soldiers turned around and disrupted the Qing army's formation from the flanks.
