A militia group, 3,600 people, ran into 4,000 Zhenglan Banner bannermen. A total of 20 Niulu.
Because the guards were all cavalry, they were mobilized to form a cavalry unit. Therefore, there are only 200 bannermen left for each Niulu, all of which are infantry and heavy infantry.
The second and third regiments of the militia fought against two other Han army flag phalanxes of 3,000 men respectively. These Han military flags, a square formation of 3,000 people is 15 Niulu.
Each Niulu of the Han army is the same as the Mongols, with 200 men. There is also a 3,000-man Han flag phalanx, which Degelei keeps as a reserve.
Once there is a danger somewhere that cannot be contained, add it there. At this time, Dege no longer had any contempt for him.
He knew that it was unknown whether he would be able to walk off this battlefield alive today. Even if the enemy in front of you is defeated, the artillery behind will fire violently.
They also have to deal with them from above. These soldiers were completely different from the Ming soldiers he had seen.
He knew clearly that these people would never cause chaos as soon as the Eight Banners charged, and they would turn around and run away before they could reach them.
Until now, these people have not seen anyone escape. The 1st Infantry Regiment withstood the greatest pressure, with 3,600 men, fighting against 4,000 Jianu headquarters bannermen, and they were still the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner who fought in hundreds of battles.
The first three rows of Jiannu soldiers all held 4.5-meter spears. The 45th, 45th and 6th platoons all had their bows and arrows ready, waiting for an opportunity to shoot the militiamen at the back.
Behind them were people holding long knives, iron forks and other weapons. Jiannu understood that to deal with such a tight military formation, he must also form a military formation.
Stab with the opponent. Jiannu's lance is 4.5 meters long, much longer than the halberd. At the beginning of the stabbing, the militiamen found that their weapons were one-third shorter than the opponent's, and they were at a disadvantage.
The swords of Jiannu were all stabbed into his own plate armor, and Party B could not reach the other party. Fortunately, the strength of aluminum alloy armor is still good, many times stronger than steel.
Although Jiannu's arm strength was terrifying, it was not as strong as a firearm that could make aluminum alloy plate armor brittle and break.
On the other two sides, the Second and Third Militia Regiments quickly gained the upper hand against the Han Army Banners. Both wings are making good progress. The group in the middle was in a hard fight.
Zhou Yuji saw that this was not possible. He was an old-school general, not the officers and soldiers under Yang Fan who were often trained.
He didn't know the performance of aluminum alloy plate armor. In his opinion, no armor could stop a spear with a strengthened tip, and as he was from the Northeast, he knew clearly that Jiannu's physical strength was astonishing.
He felt that if he stabbed him like this, he would soon be completely defeated.
"Change the formation. Each group forms a unit and becomes a wedge formation." The smallest formation of the wedge formation is composed of ten people.
Divided into four rows, 1,234 people form four rows, forming an equilateral triangle. This military formation is equally thick no matter which side it attacks from.
And as long as everyone turns to one side, the direction of the attack can be changed. It is a very flexible and adjustable formation.
With the sound of the bugle. In addition to the first row continuing to fight, the groups behind immediately separated from the squadron and quickly formed countless small wedge formations.
Then the people in the first row quickly backed away. Back away. Jiannu's spear had hit the opponent's armor several times just now as the two sides' weapons blocked each other's thrusts.
But the other party's armor is different from his own. My armor is made of cloth, with iron plates between the two layers of cotton armor. There are gaps in these armor plates. Although the upper armor plate presses the lower armor plate when weaving it, when the spear thrusts, it still It will damage the nail plate and pierce it.
But the armors of the enemies on the opposite side were actually made of large pieces of metal. There was actually a single piece of metal between their chest and abdomen.
This surprised the Eight Banners. They had never seen such armor before. Moreover, these armors have arc-shaped faces, just like these people have big beer bellies.
If the tip of the spear is pierced on it, it will be scratched by the polished smooth surface without any force. But fortunately, the opponent's weapon is shorter than his own spear, which is as long as a person's height, so the opponent's halberd cannot pierce his body.
Suddenly, I heard the other side's bugle sounding. Then the first row of halberdiers quickly retreated. The banner men were overjoyed. These southern barbarians really couldn't bear it anymore.
Then he rushed over bravely. As soon as they rushed in, they discovered that the back turned into countless small triangular formations.
The flagmen rushed in and immediately fell into a state of facing multiple enemies, no longer stabbing each other head-on. The militiamen of the first regiment were like rocks surrounded by raging floods, trapped in the siege of Zhenglan Banner.
Since there is a small distance between the small square arrays, the width is only between five and six meters. Although it doesn't look too narrow, it can be passed on a large scale.
But Qiding, who rushed in, immediately felt that the spear could not be extended in this alley, and he was immediately attacked from the side.
The halberds thrust from both sides easily pierced Qiding's armor. The reason why this five- to six-meter-wide alley was left for them was because the length of the halberd was more than three meters.
It was just convenient for the halberds on both sides to assassinate them. The charging Jiannu were stabbed from the side one after another. The lower ribs of the cloth mask were very weak compared to the front. This was a problem shared by the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu cloth masks.
Dege looked at the formation changes on the opposite side with a solemn expression. The general opposite is a master. He saw no advantage over the man who stabbed him.
The formation changed immediately, and now it was his own person's turn to suffer, because all the bannermen rushed in.
The spear inside cannot be used. When attacked from the side, the situation immediately reversed. After many people were stabbed to death during the advance, the bannermen immediately formed a group to protect each other.
Zhou Yuji's cavalry commander immediately blew the bugle. It is very easy to change the direction of a triangle. As long as everyone turns around, it is seen that the wedge formations at different levels have begun to change and are no longer uniform.
Counting from the front to the back, the even-numbered wedge formation changed from the formation facing the front to the formation facing the side, and then the tip of the triangle faced the incoming Jiannu column, charging horizontally.
Immediately, the column of Jiannu rushing in was cut off horizontally one by one. Jian Nu, who rushed in, immediately found himself in a difficult situation with enemies on all sides.
Jian Nu began to panic. In such a highly mobile formation, if you are not careful, you will be stabbed down by a halberd that comes from nowhere.
The scarier thing is yet to come. With the constant command of the Chinese army's whistle. These small wedge-shaped arrays constantly change the direction of impact according to different rules, sometimes moving in a circular motion and sometimes moving horizontally.
And the formation can suddenly change the direction of attack at any time. After a few times, Jian Nu, who rushed in, was so disoriented that he couldn't even tell the direction.
At this time, the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment had completely suppressed the two 3,000-man phalanxes of the Han Army Banner. The more Degerei watched, the more frightened he became. He couldn't let anything happen to these twenty Niulu infantry. If something happened, Zhenglan Banner would be doomed.
"The whole army is pressing forward, rushing in to meet the Zhenglan Banner." He immediately ordered the reserve team of the last square formation to rush towards the small wedge formation to meet the twenty Niulu infantry of the Zhenglan Banner. .
