Chapter 1243 But Yue
When Zhu Xieyuan led the Ming army and rushed to the bank of the Fen River, what caught his eyes was a neat lineup.

"Supervisor, the thieves stayed instead of leaving. We deserve to make such a great contribution!" Wang Shiren, the chief soldier of Datong, couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw this.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Zuo Governor Zhu Xieyuan got out of the carriage, climbed up to look at it for a while, and couldn't help but shook his head.

"What's the matter, did the supervisor see something?" Wang Shiren couldn't help but wonder.

"I can't see anything for the time being, you should send someone to test it!" Zhu Xieyuan shook his head, a little uncertain.

The terrain along the Fen River is flat, which is a typical fluvial impact basin.

The Ming army had just arrived, and it was too late to build a high platform, so Zhu Xieyuan couldn't see the truth for a while.

"The last general takes orders!" Wang Shiren groaned after hearing the words, and couldn't help shouting.

"Where is General Jiang Xiang? I order you to lead more than a thousand people to test it out!"

"The last... the last general takes orders!" Jiang Xiang was taken aback when she heard the words, and hurried forward to answer.

He was originally from Yanchuan, Yulin, and he was a famous general in his family.His elder brother Jiang Rang and younger brother Jiang Xuan both served in the army.

It's just that the family connections and personal talents are limited, the Jiang family in Yanchuan is not as far away as the Jiang family in Yulin, and they still have to work hard for meritorious service.

However, although the Yanchuan Jiang family is not as good as the Yulin Jianghan family, it also has a century-old heritage, which should not be underestimated.

When Jiang Xiang got the order, she quickly put on her clothes neatly, and took more than a thousand people to prepare for the attack.

The Art of War says: There is no invitation to upright flags, no dignified formations.

That Jiang Xiang was born as a general and has experienced battles, so naturally he would not make the mistake of rushing forward.

"The first whistle goes forward to test, the second whistle follows, and the third, fourth, and fifth whistle respond!" Jiang Xiang ordered in an orderly manner.

After the first whistle was given, they dispersed into a loose line and began to approach slowly.

The second post formed a column and followed closely behind.

The two sentries formed a T-shaped formation, slowly approaching the rebel army.

From the perspective of the Ming army, Jiang Xiang's formation is quite funny, but not from the perspective of the rebel army.

Since the rebel army lined up on the river, the terrain was lower than the two banks, and it was also impossible to observe the Ming army from a height.

This led to the fact that the rebel army could only see the first and second rows of soldiers from the front, and it was impossible to see how thick the Ming army's offensive formation was.

The Ming army approached a hundred paces, but there was no movement of the rebel army; the Ming army approached the rebel army another [-] paces, but still saw no movement of the rebel army;

This unexpected silence appeared on the battlefield, and the first sentry soldiers sent by Jiang Xiang suddenly felt a little uneasy.

They didn't know whether they should charge forward at this time, or slow down and shoot at the rebels.

"Fire, let the arrows go!" At this moment, the rebel army on the opposite side suddenly sounded an order, and then projectile bows and arrows "splashed" over like raindrops.

"Ah! Ah!" Although the formation of the Ming army's first sentry was relatively sparse, due to the short distance of the firefight, many people were still shot and shot.

"Second sentinel, charge!" And at the moment when the horizontal team at the first sentinel was attacked by the rebels, the Ming army at the second sentinel did not retreat but advanced.

They took advantage of the gaps between the shots of the rebels, like a poisonous snake spitting out its core, and rushed towards the rebels in a column.

See you in the picture!

It turned out that the Ming army's first sentinel column deliberately arranged a loose formation in order to cover the charge of the second sentinel column.

The face-to-face rebel army finally discovered the Ming army's intentions, and couldn't help being surprised.

It's just that now that the guns, bows and arrows are all fired, the two sides can only fight hand-to-hand.

However, it was too late to say it, and it was soon, at this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded: "Fire!"

Immediately, the formation in front of the rebel army retreated a few steps, revealing the artillery in the formation.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Only three cannon shots were heard, and the three iron balls flew towards the charging Ming army's second sentry column like lightning.

The first one is off!

The second shot killed two or three soldiers at an angle!

The third one hit a soldier in the first row of the second whistle, and immediately punched him from front to back!
With just one shot, the Ming army, which originally attacked in a column, immediately injured dozens of people.

The plight of a soldier killed by a solid iron bullet is as miserable as a shotgun.

The huge iron bullet is indestructible.

The rattan shield on the chest of the soldiers was broken with one blow!

The iron armor on the soldiers was shattered with one blow!

The flesh and blood of the soldier was directly pierced through, and the front and back were transparent, leaving a hole the size of a bowl!

Touching the arm, the arm is broken; touching the leg, the leg is gone.

One, two, three... Only after penetrating more than ten people did they break through the column of the Ming army.

"Ahhh..." Many soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but struggled and screamed before they were killed instantly.

What kind of intestines and stomachs were not rotten, and the millet flowed all over the ground. For a while, the smell of blood, feces and urine filled the entire battlefield.

"Kill!" Just as the Ming army was stunned at the second whistle, the rebel soldiers suddenly separated from the left and right in front of them, making way for a passage.

With the sound of horseshoes, a group of cavalry galloped out, and went straight to the first and second posts of the Ming army who had just been hit by artillery fire.

Infantry against cavalry, only by formation.

Now that the formation has been disrupted at the first whistle and the second whistle, how can it be resisted in an instant?
Seeing that the form was not good, Jiang Xiang couldn't help shouting, and quickly ordered the soldiers of the three, four, five and three sentries to march forward in an attempt to rescue the first and second sentries.

It's just that Jiang Xiang never expected that shortly after the third, fourth, and fifth sentry soldiers entered the artillery range of the rebel army, a few boats suddenly floated out from the left and right sides of the rebel formation.

There were cannons on the ship, one left and one right, firing at the third, fourth, and fifth posts in crossfire.

"Back, back quickly!" Although Jiang Xiang didn't understand the principle of "crossfire", years of combat experience made him realize that this style of play is powerful, and he quickly shouted at the top of his voice.

And when the Ming army's five-sentry soldiers were slaughtered by the rebels, with the support of the soldiers, Zhu Xieyuan, who was standing on the roof of the carriage and watching, couldn't help but shouted: "Quieyue!"

The commander-in-chief of Datong, Wang Shiren, heard that he didn't understand, so he couldn't help but wondered: "I don't know the supervisor, why do you explain this?"

"This is how Liu Yu broke the Northern Wei Iron Cavalry Queyue Formation!" Zhu Xieyuan pointed out with a frown.

"Don't look at this bandit, who only has two battalions of troops, but half of our army."

"However, the infantry marched against the water, and the boats were arranged behind."

"If it's a long battle, the supplies will be supplied by ships. If it's a quick battle, our army will have to rush forward, and it's even more likely that their boats will transport surprise soldiers and attack our wings."

"In addition to the fact that the ship is good for carrying heavy loads, the Hongyi cannons are actually transported, and the damage is even more amazing."

"Other small cannons such as the Extermination Cannon, the Second General, and Franji were deployed on the ship and fired left and right, making it difficult for me to parry."

"The Art of War says: Don't strike a majestic formation. Our army can't forcefully attack its soldiers, and we should think long-term!"
