Captain Qiu, who was responsible for observing military information on the left wing, finally returned. He reported: The enemy soldiers were carrying cannons on the mountain!The mountainside behind is full of people, and it is coming up!
Needless to say, Zhang Ning now saw figures appearing on the hillside with his own eyes.There was a hillside with shrubs on it. The situation was smooth and not important. It was obvious that it was more than one mile away from the marching avenue. However, when a place with high terrain, the camp of the Suzaku Army might be within range.At this time, Wei Bin, who was the commander of Yongding Camp, couldn't help but curse the scout general for dereliction of duty, but was temporarily stopped by Zhang Ning.
He did not want to shirk responsibility. The ambush this time should be mainly affected by the decision: the Suzaku Army pursued the Southern Road official army and rushed forward and rushed to rush to a hundred miles.
Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Those who seek profits over a hundred miles will deteriorate their generals. Underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly is a taboo in military strategists, but Zhang Ning did not expect that the weaker Southern Army would quickly organize a counterattack.
It was not the time to regret it, but Zhang Ning immediately said: You must take down the enemy's artillery formation as soon as possible, otherwise the battle will not end in a short time.
People on both sides agreed. In the current situation, only the unmobile official and infantry cannon positions are the breakthrough points, and if the enemy cavalry on the right wing wants to retreat, they will not be easily caught up.
According to the oral account of Team Qiu, there were all people on the back of the mountainside, but Zhang Ning believed that the scale of the left-wing ambush would not be too large, because there were also many people in the official camp that lured them deep into the army; the Southern Army had a total of more than 20,000 people, and the intelligence was relatively accurate. It was impossible for Changsha to suddenly create a large army.
Zhang Chengzong, who has always been steady and low-key, rode his horse forward two steps, and clasped his fists and said: I am willing to go.
This was very good, Commander Zhang led the left and right posts of Yongding Camp to advance to the left wing and attack the artillery formation.
Zhang Ning made a quick decision.
But at this time, Feng Youxian's cavalry regiment had not returned yet, and the flanks of the infantry were fragile when attacking. Zhang Ning had to dispatch two generals including Chen Gai to lead two formations of troops and horses to lead Zhang Chengzong's left and right directions, and arrange three groups of people and horses to launch an attack in the shape of finished characters.
In the distance, a group of people and horses were killed by cavalry, and many people fled in scattered.
But the cavalry could not expand the results of the battle. Some sporadic horse soldiers accidentally rushed to other square formations in the chaos, and then they were knocked into hornets by a copeline gun, and the scenes of people rushing over and overturning can be seen everywhere.
The central army where Zhang Ning was located was ready to face the battle and covered the three square formations before and after the transformation of the queue.
He hoped that the troops led by Zhang Chengzong could exert their due combat effectiveness. The basis of the two left and right posts of Yongding Camp was the veteran who started the uprising and the most elite unit of the Suzaku Army.
Not long after, white smoke rose from the top of the mountain, and in an instant, the cannons were heard roaring like thunder, and the naked eye could see the roar of shells in the air roaring in the air.
The heavy weapon used by the official army, Yongle, the Tian-sized General Cannon was actually considered a type of mortar cannon. They were all large calibers and thick and short barrels. Because the Ming army could not produce qualified long-barrel field cannons, the shells of the General Cannon could only be fired, so the speed was slow and people could see it when they looked up.
The shelling of a mile away could only be made with solid bullets. In the rumbling thunder, artillery balls hit the formation of the Suzaku Army officers and soldiers. The iron balls hit the ground from the air, knocking the sand and stones away, like an explosion, and the non-dead screamed miserably.
A shell even fell to the central army, and several people fell from the dense crowd. The shell jumped on the hard soil, and everyone nearby bent down and bowed their heads in fear.
Wang Xian, the guards, hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Ning, but Zhang Ning still sat steadily on the horse without changing his face...
Solid bombs can be seen with eyes. The scene is terrifying, but the power is limited. He does not feel that his luck is so bad that he is hit. If the army is not in dense formations, but is arranged in scattered soldiers, such long-range artillery will be difficult to cause any damage.
Gradually, the cavalry vanguards who directly attacked the Suzaku Army from the left wing retreated one after another, and another group of horse soldiers were moving eastward. Perhaps they discovered the movements of several phalanxes of the Suzaku Army and wanted to attack the flanks from the east.
Zhang Ning had to admit that the command and dispatch of the Southern Army he encountered was very fast.
The terrain on the official road was flat, and people's actions and drums were clear at a glance.
The horn trumpet was blown in Yongding Camp, and the drum sounded rhythmically. The three square arrays formed hollow rectangles and slowly advanced northward. Commander Zhang Chengzong issued a commander in the middle, with dense queues on all sides, and his danger was only from the shells on his head.
A round of artillery attacks completely failed to break through the camp of the Suzaku Army, and there was no way to talk about the collapse. Then the sound of artillery suddenly subsided.It is estimated that the government troops on the hillside are busy loading, and it will take a while to complete.
Zhang Chengzong observed the horse soldiers in the east, as if they had already gathered there again, but he had no intention of rushing over.
Perhaps the cavalry was waiting for the second round of artillery. If the gap was opened in the shelling, the cavalry would have a certain chance to break the formation, but this situation seemed like they could only take a chance.
Zhang Chengzong took advantage of the low pressure and ordered the teams to move forward, taking advantage of the opportunity to advance more than 200 steps.
After a long time, the sound of cannons roared again as expected. This time the shells no longer attacked the people on the road, but mainly dealt with Zhang Chengzong's marching army.
There were horse soldiers on the flanks eyeing them, so Zhang Chengzong could only use dense phalanxes, and the soldiers could not avoid being hit by shells.
Suddenly a shell fell into the queue, and blood was suddenly splashed on the faces of the people around him in the dust. Someone vomited out with a vomit. It turned out that a soldier not far away was hit in the head, and his brain and blood flew out.
Someone pushed the vomiting soldier's back behind him, and he realized and continued to move forward.
There was still a man lying on the ground not far away, with his hands covered with blood, curled up there, his intestines flowing out, I don’t know if he is dead.
At the same time, the horse soldiers on the east finally began to move.
Zhang Chengzong must immediately order the army to stop and prepare to resist the impact of the cavalry. As a middle-level commander, he must also make correct judgments in time, otherwise it may lead to catastrophic consequences.
He did give the order like this.
A large cavalry in the distance was jogging, and the direction of the attack was Chen Gai's troops on the rear wing of Zhang Chengzong.
Chen Gai shouted loudly: For generals and soldiers, we are not afraid of death. As warriors, we are waiting for the day when the horse is wrapped in the body. It would be fine if we die!
The troops shouted and cheered, each of them carrying their weapons to prepare to face the enemy.
The front-line spearmen squatted down, the musket soldiers prepared... Before the generals of each team were shouting, the soldiers had already made their own moves. The permanent soldiers of Yongding Camp had fought several times in actual combat and had more training time, so most of them were very skilled, and everyone knew what to do under what circumstances.But the team leaders still yelled tirelessly: No one can fire without seeing the order, and those who violate the order will be killed!
In the sun, the dark shadows of the cavalry team were getting closer and closer, the drums in the army stopped, and the gongs sounded twice, and the whole row of musketeers calmly raised the long grenade guns; the young generals in the queue also pulled out their swords and just raised them so that all their soldiers could see his movements.
The sound of horse hooves sounded nearby, and the ground seemed to be trembling, and it was very shocking under the iron hooves; but the Vermillion Bird Army was still as moving as a mountain, as if everyone had stopped breathing and waiting, while the shells still fell on their heads from time to time, and some were screaming, but the camp did not move at all.
The flag bearer on the side slowly lowered a golden Suzaku square flag, and immediately raised it again, and the sound of the gong suddenly rang out.Almost at the same time, I could only hear shouting everywhere: Let it go!The smoke was everywhere, and the sound of the gun was deafening.
There was almost nothing in front of me, but soon a man who was not afraid of death rushed out of the smoke.
The herd of horses coming from the smoke was no longer so powerful. Some people died and the bodies of people and horses that fell halfway through the way would cause some chaos. When the government army was slightly in chaos, they would fight each other in front of them.
The tactics against cavalry formulated by the Suzaku Army usually only have one round of musketeers, and then the spearmen are ready to take the enemy, so they don’t have time to change teams and shoot in the second round.
But on the back of Zhang Chengzong was Chen Gai's army. Chen Gai was impulsive and greedy for merit. Seeing that the charge of the official army weakened, he immediately ordered the musketeers to change teams.
Above the battle formation, the commander's orders must be followed. The people below are not allowed to have their own ideas. Even if they are wrong, they must be copied. The generals of each team immediately shouted: Change!
The musketeers in the back row walked to the front and listened to the command to raise their guns again to prepare for a salvo.
After some preparation, some cavalrymen in front were nearly twenty steps and were about to rush to the front in an instant. The musketeers widened their eyes, looking forward to the issuance of the firing order.
Suddenly, a rifle flew over with a loud shout, hitting the chest of a standing musketeer. With a bang, the musketeer fired a shot when the muzzle was raised, and then the officer yelled and released it!
Suddenly, the sound of the musket sounded, and a knight on the horse was shaking like an epilepsy, smoking on his body, bloodlines sprinkled, and the long sword in his hand flew out.
After the gun, the screams of pain and groans quickly covered up the painful screams and groans, and more people rushed over, but the speed was blocked by a large number of corpses and dead horses. Maybe they no longer wanted to continue attacking at this time, but it was difficult for the cavalry to rush to stop, and even if they stopped, they would bump into the horses running behind.
Amid the shouts of the generals, the spearmen in the two rows of spearmen stood up, one of which fixed the spears to the ground and bent down with his feet, crossing them to form a dense forest of spears, and the spears that were ten to five feet long were arranged, making the square array like a huge hedgehog.
The cavalry who rushed to the front of the formation had to pin the head of the horse, and a few people unfortunately bumped into a spear and were stabbed off the horse.
The momentum of the cavalry, like a tide, was blocked and unable to make progress. Some cavalry began to ignite the three-eyed guns and beat the square, or hovered in front of the formation and shot with bows and arrows, causing a small amount of damage but was not enough to open the gap.
Soon the mesh gun behind was loaded, and after the spearman squatted down, he shot a volley against the Ranger in front of the match, the Knights were all dismissed in the flash.
The first wave of attacks by the government army obviously failed to work, and they fled backwards after heavy casualties.
Zhang Chengzong quickly ordered to continue to advance north, turn left, and walk in unison... The slogans and drums were heard one after another.
Needless to say, Zhang Ning now saw figures appearing on the hillside with his own eyes.There was a hillside with shrubs on it. The situation was smooth and not important. It was obvious that it was more than one mile away from the marching avenue.
