The situation on the battlefield became increasingly intense, and the smoke of gunpowder and moving infantry added chaos to the neat layout.

Zhang Ning nervously observed the evolution of the situation in the central army with a higher terrain.

He was very nervous, perhaps because he was too concerned about winning or losing, but he was confused about his concern.

Without a telescope, you can only see the distance between the east and the north and south of miles. Sometimes, because of the impression of gunpowder smoke, the air cannot even be seen clearly, so you can only rely on the language description of the scout team.

There is also imagination. Sometimes Zhang Ning feels that he is a military general in the army who is personally present in the battle formation. Sometimes he feels that he is a soldier, staring ahead with his eyes wide open, his chest banging, waiting for the moment when life and death come.

When a person is focused, he may not be nervous. Perhaps he is just tired of it, but when he is nervous, he may not be easy to concentrate.

Zhang Ning used the psychological suggestion method to start healing himself. This method is very simple. For example, when you wake up in the morning, you will be in a good mood and be very positive. Today is a beautiful and fulfilling day, as if you are deceiving yourself, but it is indeed effective for personal testing.

Although it was camping, I didn’t even have a dream last night and I am now in my best state!

I discovered a little shameful episode last night, but there is no need to worry about it, maybe it is still a good thing!

Long-term mental stress requires a vent. Although a man's tears are awkward, they can restore his mindset to balance.

Zhang Ning thought he was extremely powerful now. He could not hear the intimidating sound of cannons or see the tragic situation of corpses everywhere.

There was only the invisible figure opposite him in his eyes. Xue Lu, this person must have his own ideas.

Zhang Ning wants to look at him head-on and overwhelm him mentally!

Zhang Ning wanted to see a line from this chaotic battlefield and the smoke filled the way.

That is an abstract clue that may dominate the outcome.

How chaotic the battlefield is, but it is always a human activity.

What are the characteristics of human beings?

rule!

Just like the computers they invented, the windows and arrangements are all ordered.

No matter how chaotic it seems, there are rules to follow!

But he still vaguely smelled the breath from afar.

It is so far away, the wind direction is the east wind, and perhaps the breath is just a spiritual imagination; but they are so clear.

The smell of gunpowder reminds people of the New Year firecrackers in childhood, and the smell of blood is very strong, which makes people nausea. Human blood may be the fishiest smell.

Is this the smell of war?

War, an extremely luxurious activity.

Zhang Ning extorted large-scale investors, taxed and exploited the people, and plundered the government's warehouses. With the blood and sweat accumulated by millions of people and tried every means to spend most of all available resources on the construction of more than 10,000 people.

And when all this comes in handy, the consumption time is so short, maybe only one or two days, and squandering cannot describe its huge consumption and destructive power.

boom!A thunderclap shocked Zhang Ning's distracting thoughts to death.

An iron ball fell from the air, and a box truck in the middle of the central army suddenly flew around, and smoke and dust scattered.

Next to it was a team of on-site messengers. One of the horses that were closer was frightened and almost ran away. They were held back by their master to control the situation.

Zhang Ning looked forward and saw a large number of government and infantry troops on the right wing that had advanced across the low ground, and the front artillery array was within the range of the cannon.

The gun just now was a shell fired by the enemy soldiers on the right wing.

Soon, another shelling attack was made from time to time, and the central army of the Suzaku Army and the right-wing infantry camp suffered a blow, with a small amount of damage, causing slight local chaos.

When the heavy artillery of the official army conducts long-range live ammunition shelling, it can only be attacked by shooting. It is impossible to say that the accuracy is, but the infantry camp in a queue is the best target.

The Vermilion Bird Army is not a barbarian who has never seen a formation. Most of the soldiers understand that the shooting of solid bullets is very small, and it depends entirely on luck. Therefore, the artillery effect of the official army will not be too great; coupled with the slow loading speed, it is even more impossible to break up the camp.

Then the Suzaku Army's artillery array also used field guns to fight back, but it almost wasted ammunition.After the thick smoke, the enemy troops below were not damaged.

The Chenzhou long-distance guns are definitely different from those of the official army's artillery, but they are still inevitably disadvantageous of the poor accuracy of the black gunpowder smoothbore gun; even if they are equipped with gun rules and simple rangefinders, they can only hit a rough position when shooting at long-range artillery, and their functions are actually the same. They are dangerous to large infantry formations and have almost no effect on small targets.

I saw the right-wing attacking official infantry was placed behind the back and the cannons were placed in front; the distance between the infantry was too far, and the artillery of the Vermilion Bird Army could not effectively hit its camp.

The artillery of the official army was distributed in dots and the target was too small. The artillery of the Zhuque Army was unable to deal with them one mile away. Whether or not they could hit their artillery array was entirely up to God's will.

It is meaningless for the two armies to use cannons only to bombard, and it is equivalent to wasting ammunition.

Prince, letting them bombard it is not a solution. Can a single infantry force be transferred to advance from the right wing to solve its front artillery array and repel the right wing attack?Zhu Heng walked up to make suggestions.

Zhu Heng’s suggestions are very pertinent. How can the cannon array that can be removed behave like a passive beating?

But Zhang Ning did not respond to his suggestion immediately.

He found several suspicious points and many clues from the chaotic wings, and it took some time to clean up his ideas.

Zhu Heng was also very conscious and did not urge him because the two were very close, and Zhu Heng confirmed that Zhang Ning had heard what he had just said.

Zhang Ning was very clear about his lines, which was to advance from the left wing, defeat the official army in the middle, and end the battle until it collapsed across the line.

This is also why he discovered that the main force of the official cavalry was on the right wing, but the only Feng Youxian cavalry regiment was placed on the left wing.

He thought his lines were the correct strategy for two reasons: First, when the flanks were in a situation where they were surrounded and might be attacked by superior cavalry in the rear, he could not use the simple and crude method of pushing the whole line; once the army did this, not only the baggage and all the materials and equipment would be easily destroyed in an unprepared state. If the battle could not be resolved within the next day due to the superior cavalry of the government, everyone would lose everything and could not hold on for a day. Should the soldiers go to the battlefield again with hunger and no ammunition and weapons the next morning?

Secondly, the official army took the initiative to open up the situation from the flanks, and the flanks attracted a large number of troops from the beginning of the battle, and the central advancement was insignificant.

But he has not yet fully understood Xue Lu's lines. This tactical idea of ​​responding to the situation can only be guessed by his performance on the battlefield, and there is no other way.

Northern Route Army Where are the tens of thousands of cavalry and how to use them?What is the intention of the cannon under the right wing hillside? What are the benefits of doing that?

Zhang Ning looked back at the left and right army and could not hesitate at one link, so he said to Zhu Heng: Zhu Butang is right, and he needs to send troops to solve the direct danger of the right wing.

On the tense battlefield, the king’s words are iron orders, and there is no need to be uttered.

Zhu Heng immediately planned a series of military orders, ordering part of Yongding Camp on the right to fight from the right wing, destroy the official artillery formation, and force the right wing to retreat to attack.

At this moment, Zhang Ning hoped that the left wing's offense would progress quickly, but it seemed that it was not perfect, even if Feng Youxian's cavalry was already the best mobile attack.

The left-wing infantry of the government army seemed to be more endurable than expected.

...Because Zhang Ning had decided to launch an attack from the left wing, Yao Erlang was fortunate to get a whole brigade of field artillery teams and fifteen long-barrel cannons.

Boom, Boom... The artillery of the Suzaku Army fired volleys, and the rumbling smoke made a fog on the battlefield after the shelling.

The long-barrel cannon is far more dangerous to the infantry formation than the general cannons of the official army, and the principles are different.

The two or three pounds of hot iron balls roared in parallel, with great speed carrying an invincible momentum.

An iron ball hit the helmet of a soldier in iron armor at the front. With a loud bang, half of his head exploded instantly, and the soldiers around him fell to the ground in the air and horror. Then blood and flesh flew up from behind, and the iron ball pierced through two rows of depths and finally landed on the ground. The rapid inertia still did not stop, and it hit the ground hard and then bounced up. Someone became a victim again.

There was a lot of noise in the army, and the screams of horror and hissing were chaotic.There are still people calling her mother Ah... in the voices, only in extreme despair can people call out the closest person.

The height of the shell just now was very accurate, and it was probably because of coincidence that it caused great casualties to the official army.

Most of the other shells were not that accurate. Some hit the ground in the front part of the square formation, bounced and took off into the crowd; some hit it too high and hit it directly on the back of the crowd, and had already left the camp when they flew up; and one of them simply failed.

The official army suffered heavy casualties in a round of long cannons.

But the number of casualties was not fatal compared to an infantry army of seven or eight thousand people. The effect of shelling was to hit its morale and cause chaos, and the most important thing was to tear a gap for the cavalry.

Bang!

A gong sounded like a death-hunting signal.

The cavalry regiment charged towards the official army at a distance of more than 100 steps, and the speeding horses suddenly arrived in front of the official army in a blink of an eye.

The main weapons of the Ming army infantry were also spears, swords and shields, which were not much different, but there were several chaotic places in front of their phalanx. The dead bodies and the cried wounded soldiers seemed to be big holes, and they didn't have time to reorganize before being charged.

The cavalry pierced directly, stabbed and slaughtered from a high place.

The infantry in a row was torn and broke into it, and the torrent of iron cavalry was like crazy beasts.

The bright sabers on the hands of the knights flashed with the cold light of the sun, kill!Kill... The roar and shouting make people feel cold.

Many people threw down their weapons and turned around and ran away. Some were caught in the crowd and resisted desperately. The chaotic infantry was very helpless in the face of the iron cavalry.

A big man in the official army was furious and picked up a spear and found that he was blocked by his companions around him and could not turn the direction. He had to pull out his waist knife and wanted to kill a knight who was rushing towards him. But he could only look up and wait for the knight to rush forward. When the horse approached, a cold light flashed on his face. A metal collision on his helmet made his ears buzzing. Somehow the man fell on his back, and then another cavalry shot him in the abdomen.

The front army of the government army was in chaos, with many fleeing people scattered on the edge, and they were already in collapse.

But they were a large number of people, and Feng Youxian could not fully perpendicularly penetrate the entire body; the rear army was still in line, but the defeated riots were a little shaken.

Feng Youxian received the military order to quickly defeat the enemy's left wing protrusion and cooperate with infantry cannons to advance towards the center.

The remaining troops in front of the government army still have the opportunity to take advantage of it and try to attack, but after slaughtering and dispersing the riots in front of them.

At this time, Feng Youxian saw a group of official infantry further south moving to reinforcements; at the same time, Yao Erlang's troops and another infantry behind him were also following.

The whistle was blown and ordered the teams to seize the opportunity to retreat temporarily.

Feng Youxian just thought for a moment and gave the order decisively.

He thought he did not need to use cavalry to fight alone with the infantry and military formations of the government; chasing the riots at this time is not of great significance, as long as the riots cannot stop the soldiers of the Suzaku Army from advancing to the central government in a short period of time, the goal will be achieved.
