Style: Historical Author: Luo XiaomingWords: 2237Update Time: 24/01/12 06:04:24
In the wilderness outside Pizhou City, countless fiery red flags were moving in the strong wind.

Two battalions of more than 5,500 Ming troops, under the command of Cao Wenzhao, were waiting in formation outside Pizhou City.

Cao Wenzhao led his troops in formation on the left side of Pizhou City, while Zuo Liangyu led his troops in formation on the right side of Pizhou City. The two battalions were only three hundred steps apart, and they echoed each other.

Chen Wang held the reins tightly and controlled the uneasy horse under his seat.

Behind him, nine cavalrymen wearing helmets were arranged on the left and right.

There are four riders on the left and right, and one rider in the center holds Chen Wang's flag.

The general recognition flag is blue with a white border. The recognition flag is three feet long and has a beveled edge. It is also a pennant. There are three large characters written on the recognition flag - Left and Right Division.

The height of the pole is one foot by one foot, and it is tied with a tassel, which is five feet long. The tassel is black and the horn band is red.

The first battalion is divided into three parts, namely left, center and right. The flags always write left, center and right.

The reason why they are called the front, middle and back sections is because when marching, the left section is in front, the middle section is in the middle, and the right section is on the right.

Therefore, when marching, it is customary to call the front, middle and rear parts. The left part is the front and the right is the rear.

Chen Wang's current position as commander-in-chief is that of the left department and right department.

When fighting in formation, the military formation is unfolded. The left part must be at the far left of the formation, which is the left formation of the army.

As the commander-in-chief of the left and right divisions, Chen Wang had to lead the troops to the right of the left formation, and responded to the Qian Commander-in-Chief of the headquarters. This position was also close to the direction of the central military formation, and he needed to coordinate operations with him.

Now the soldiers of the four bureaus under his command are all arranged in a tight military formation, with the new recruits of the three bureaus lined up in front.

The veterans of the other round stood behind the third round of new recruits and spread out into a long formation.

The mission of these veterans in this war is not to kill the enemy...

Their mission is simple, no matter who dares to turn back in the previous three rounds, they will be killed!

They are the team supervising this battle.

Chen Wang wears a high-topped helmet, sleeveless breasted fish scale armor, iron armbands on both arms, and a sword and bow.

For this battle, he was already fully armed. He even wore a piece of chain mail under the fish scale armor, a total of two layers of armor.

Even the war horse riding underneath him was wearing a half-vest.

If it weren't for the fact that it was summer and the heat was unbearable, Chen Wang would have even wanted to put on the cloth armor.

The forging craftsmanship at the end of the Ming Dynasty was actually not bad. The reason for the poor armament was only because of official corruption.

The war horses of the Ming army in Jiubian are basically not equipped with heavy horse armor, and there are no armored cavalry.

It's not that the craftsmanship isn't enough, or that the war horse isn't good enough, it's just that it's impractical.

At this time, the canned cavalry that began to appear in Europe, their horse armor and armor protection were indeed strong, but they were really put on the Liaodong battlefield.

As long as you dare to go out of the city to fight in the field, you will either be exhausted by the Mongolian light cavalry, or you will be knocked to the ground by Hou Jin's heavy infantry.

Those white-armored soldiers wearing three layers of heavy armor, also known as Bagala soldiers, have actually reached a very terrifying level of protection.

While still in Liaodong, Chen Wang took the heads of seven soldiers of Hou Jin, one of whom was a white-armored soldier of Hou Jin.

The white-armored soldier was hit by a cannon at a distance of forty steps, but he still didn't fall down. He rushed into the formation and killed seven people in a row, just like a human tank.

Neither the Yanling knife nor the spear could cause any harm to him. In the end, he hammered him to the ground with the Iron Bone Duo, and then stabbed him in the face with a short knife to end his life.

Chen Wang looked into the distance with a solemn expression.

Just at the end of the wilderness, a faint black line on the horizon is slowly creeping towards it.

Behind the black line, dust rose up into the sky, and smoke billowed upwards, threatening to cover the sky and the sun!

The black line in his sight is getting clearer and clearer, and the speed of squirming forward is getting faster and faster.

The roaring sound like a wave and the roar of people came to Chen Wang's ears along with the strong wind blowing from the northwest.

Chen Wang clenched the riding whip in his hand, and the pupils in his eyes narrowed slightly.

The roaring in the ears was intermittent and vague, making people feel extremely unreal.

It's like... it's like it's coming from another world.

Chen Wang set his sights on the formation of three new recruits not far in front of him.

Different from the calmness of the veterans, the recruits in these three rounds are all newly recruited refugees. Although they have experienced more than half a month of training, they have never been on a battlefield with a weapon.

Although fighting between clans in the countryside can result in lives and blood, the two cannot be compared at all.

Chen Wang's hearing was very good. He heard the slight chattering of teeth. He noticed that the bodies of soldiers in the military formation were trembling, and some people's legs were trembling.

But soon, Chen Wang no longer heard the chattering sound of his teeth, because in his ears, the faint roaring sound became louder and clearer.

The huge roar startled the birds in the forest.

An eagle tightened its long, shiny black wings, swooped down from its nest on the cliff, and then suddenly spread its wings in mid-air and flew up.

The long wings flapped lightly, and the cotton-like clouds in the sky were swept away one after another.

Under the eyes of an eagle, the originally vast wilderness outside Pizhou City was covered by the black tide.

The center of the black tide is the densest, densely packed with moving heads.

However, the surroundings of the Kuroshio are sparse and uneven, and the waves composed of people and horses are constantly surging and rolling.

The waves come one after another, one after another, scattered and scattered far around.

Everywhere trampled by the messy horse hooves was a mess, and countless dust was brought up, almost blocking the entire field of vision, making it impossible to see clearly.

Chen Wang's eyes were condensed, and the surging black tide had already covered the entire field of vision, but the black tide behind it was still continuous, seemingly endless.

The black tide even overflowed the foothills of the mountains on both sides, like a real torrent.

There was a sense of solemnity in the military formation, the silence was terrible, the silence was terrible.

Chen Wang clenched the riding whip in his hand, and his expression slowly became serious.

The waves surged forward, and everything in front of me slowly became clear.

Accompanied by the thunderous sound of horse hooves, tens of thousands of rogue horse soldiers rolled across the wilderness, converging into an endless black torrent, carrying the power of crushing everything, flowing across the wilderness like mercury pouring down the ground. .

People and horses are overwhelming, and flags are covering the sky and the sun!

And under the countless messy flags, a dark black banner still stood out among the huge tide of horses.

Gao Yingen wore a high-topped helmet, a golden fish scale armor, and gold-dyed iron leaf armbands on his arms. He rode a white horse and stood under the flag, looking coldly at the Ming Dynasty who was waiting outside Pizhou City. Military formation.
