"Dong Chengguo, I have a decree for you to take another 50 steps forward!"
A guard cavalryman wearing a red cowl with a pole command riding on his back arrived behind the 2,000 golden armored cavalry who were carefully forming their formation. He found Zhu Chunchen and shouted an order.
When Zhu Chunchen heard this order, he trembled slightly. He stretched his neck and looked forward, then turned back and said to the young guard: "Fifty steps further, we will reach the river... If the slave cavalry crosses the river, we will not be able to rush forward. ah!"
The river channel upstream of the Old Hamulin River is very narrow, only a few dozen steps, and the water is very shallow. The slaves on the opposite side will have to be ruthless to come over.
Of course, there is definitely no speed when riding a horse to cross the river, and it is difficult to maintain the formation. It is very dangerous when stepping on the river beach on the other side, and it is easy to be attacked by the opponent's cavalry. The confrontation between the cavalry will be fast and slow, and the attack will be scattered. If Cheng Guogong's cavalry is a little far away from the river beach, they can charge forward. Even if they charge with bare hands, they can give the slave cavalry who have just crossed over a drink.
But once they move close to the river beach, they have no distance to accelerate. The cavalry cannot charge forward, so they can only fight hand-to-hand with the slaves who are crossing over...
"Don't be afraid, Duke Cheng. Long Live Lord is right behind you... personally commanding the artillery and supervising the battle!" The young guard shouted, "Long Live Lord has a decree. If the golden-armored soldiers retreat without authorization, they will all be smashed with cannons. !”
What? Cannon smashed?
Zhu Chunchen quickly looked back and his heart was broken!
He saw 36 cannons lined up in a row, and the black muzzles were almost touching his back!
Isn't this too cruel? Others used swords to supervise the battle, but the little emperor used cannons to supervise the battle... Zhu Chunchen looked at the muzzle of the cannon and felt air-conditioned! When the cannon goes off, how many pieces will my small body break into on the spot?
"What the fuck," Zhu Chunchen cursed, and then he rode his horse back and forth behind the 2,000 knights in golden armor. As he ran, he shouted loudly, "Everyone, 50 steps forward, 50 steps forward! Do you hear that? What the fuck?" , Long live the cannons at your back, you bastards don’t know how to die? If you disobey the order, you will all be killed!"
The effect of cannons in supervising battles is still there. Of course these soldiers in golden armor are afraid of the Tatars, but the cannons behind them are even more scary!
If you meet the Tatars, you can still put up a fight...and all of them look very majestic with their golden helmets. The Tatar soldiers may not dare to wade into the water to fight, right?
If the cannon behind him were fired, he would be shattered to pieces!
Seeing Zhu Chunchen's golden armor soldiers slowly advancing forward, Zhu Youjian, who had already merged his own team with the black artillery position, finally let out a breath and wore a black foam-studded cloth mask next to him (black artillery soldiers). Well, of course you have to wear black clothes) Sun Yuanhua loudly ordered: "Regiment Commander Sun, your artillery also moves forward... 40 steps forward, and then load iron bullets!"
"Got the order!" Sun Yuanhua hugged Zhu Youjian and directed his black artillery to move forward.
"Wei Zaode!" Zhu Youjian then called forward wearing a red bubble-studded cloth mask.
This guy originally made a great contribution to his career. He was studying in Tongzhou and waiting to be admitted as a Jinshi. What a great future he had! Zhu Youjian was treated as some kind of reincarnation of Zhuge Liang... and sent to help Gao Hongtu organize the Tongzhou regiment training. He originally thought that he was just a "temporary worker". After working for a long time and getting promoted, he could go back and continue to study the books of sages - with the merit of organizing group training, he would definitely be reused after he was admitted to Jinshi in the future!
But he never expected that after Gao Hongtu was promoted to be the governor of Yanyun, he would be transferred to the Xinjing camp by Zhu Youjian! He also became a regiment commander leading troops (this was a commission officer invented by Zhu Youjian), and was trapped alive. This time, Lu Xiangsheng was brought to the front line... It's really scary to think about it!
However, Zhu Youjian did not ask him to charge into the battle. Instead, he asked him to lead a group of infantry (more than 2,600 people) to cover Sun Dapao's artillery regiment in front of the tent.
"I'm here!" Wei Zaode knew that Zhu Youjian would be up to no good in finding him, but he had no choice but to come forward to take orders.
"Have your people list 10 spear phalanxes, line them up, place them behind the artillery team, and prepare to charge into the formation!" Zhu Youjian ordered loudly.
What?
Charge into battle? Attack the slave bandit's formation? Are you going to be a loyal martyr?
Wei Zaode was almost scared to tears, but the little emperor in front of him was so cruel, how could he dare to say no?
"I accept the decree..."
Zhu Youjian looked at the "reincarnation of Zhuge Liang" with a tragic face in front of him, smiled and nodded: "Wei Qing is indeed my Kong Ming... When the bombardment is over, you will supervise the troops to charge into the battle, and I will personally lead it." The two regiments are guarding the formation with cavalry in front of their tents."
Wei Zaode was really speechless - How could I be the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang? Zhuge Liang was shaking the feather fan, but now I am wearing armor and leading the troops into battle... Where is Zhuge Liang here? This is clearly doing the work of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun!
And there is a "cruel little Liu Bei" behind the butt supervising the battle! This Zhuge Liang is about to escape before the battle, does Liu Bei have to stab him to death with a sword? Is there such a Zhuge Liang, is there such a Liu Huangshu?
Zhu Youjian doesn't care what Wei Zaode thinks? Anyway, he will personally supervise the battle... and he does not expect Wei Zaode's Tongzhou regiment training (now Xinjing camp) to achieve much results. He only hopes that these people can take advantage of Sun Dapao's black artillery to bombard Hou Jin. If there is an opportunity for the army, they can rush across the Old Hamulin River, and then launch a spear formation on the north bank of the Old Hamulin River with their backs to the water.
"Long live my lord, the yellow-armored soldiers of the slave thieves are also advancing forward!"
Zhu Youjian had just finished assigning tasks to Wei Zaode, and Zhu Chunchen had already sent someone to ask for help. It turned out that the slave thieves on the other side of the old Hamulin River, the yellow flag horse team, saw Zhu Youjian's personal soldiers, the golden armored soldiers, approaching the river bank. Not to be outdone, they also moved forward dozens of steps!
"Okay!" Zhu Youjian clapped his hands, then flew up to a high slope and began to observe the formation from a high position.
At this time, the battle formations of the Ming and Hou Jin armies were only half in place - both sides were arranged along the river.
The Ming army was a mixture of infantry and cavalry. If the Hou Jin army looked over, they would see the golden-armored cavalry in the center, and the red-clothed cavalry pressing down on both sides. Between the golden-armored cavalry and the red-clothed cavalry, there were large groups of spearmen, swordsmen, and archers. In front of these Ming army infantry, there were many wooden posts and horse guns placed, but no sidecars were dispatched.
The Hou Jin Army was a pure horse team, and they did not dispatch their most commonly used carriages in battles, and the formation was also a bit scattered. I don't know if it was because the formation was not completed?
Then, as Zhu Youjian expected, the "yellow-armored soldiers" of the Jin Army were attracted to the center of their formation, and they were quarreling with Zhu Chunchen's golden-armored soldiers across the river. As for what he was scolding, Zhu Youjian couldn't hear it because he was far away and the battlefield was noisy.
He took out his telescope again and started looking for Huang Taiji in front of the Houjin Army... and he actually found one!
All I saw was that Huang Taiji was dressed in golden cotton armor with some pattern embroidered on it. He was wearing a helmet with a pole on the top. He was surrounded by a large group of fully armed slave thieves Huang Jiabing. He was standing with Zhu Chunchen. Behind the golden armored soldiers facing off against the yellow armored soldiers, it was only a few dozen steps away from the north bank of the Old Hamulin River! There are a lot of flags of various colors behind him, which looks very lively!
Zhu Youjian looked carefully and saw that the man was tall and tall, and he was quite majestic on the horse. The yellow-armored soldiers around him stood still and no one dared to talk to each other. From time to time, people would come on flying horses to inform him of something, and then Fly away again!
It seems that this person is Huang Taiji!
Zhu Youjian took a breath, Huang Taiji was right under the muzzle of Sun Dapao... If this was fired, the slave thieves would be finished, and the Ming Dynasty would be revived! By then, Ping Liao would be too conservative in five years, and the Ping Liao eradication of slaves would only be a matter of one or two years.
"God help me!" Zhu Youjian shouted excitedly, "Send the order to Zhu Chunchen's men to divide into two teams and retreat from the left and right...and then send the order to Sun Yuanhua...to let his cannons Open fire immediately after the golden-armored soldiers withdraw! The yellow-armored soldiers whose target is the slave thieves... give me a hard beating and kill Huang Taiji!"
