Ming Dynasty entry: I am Chongzhen, the greatest emperor of all time!

Chapter 45 Everything is in chaos
There was a crackling sound of wooden poles breaking.

The spears and lances were broken into pieces.

The war horses collided with each other, and the cavalry of the old camp wearing only one layer of armor was thrown into the air, while the cavalry of the three thousand camp wearing two layers of heavy armor were knocked to the ground by the huge impact force.

Although there were no obvious injuries, in a cavalry charge, falling to the ground meant death.

Before the advent of fixed ammunition and machine guns, cavalry was the most powerful branch of the army on land.

What's more, both sides are the elite among the elite.

When the spear broke, he replaced it with a saber. He rode his horse without stopping and waved his sword in his hands without stopping.

As the vanguard, Liu Zongmin and his personal troops rushed to the front and were deeply embedded in the formation of 3,000 camps.

The sword danced with great vigor.

First, he aimed at the chin of the nearest cavalryman and swung his sword using the momentum of his horse.

Half of the head of the cavalryman of the Three Thousand Battalion fell to the ground along with the helmet and mask. Then he dragged the saber to the ground with his backhand, took two quick steps and suddenly raised it up.

He cut a bloody wound on the head of the horse rushing towards him.

The warhorse and its cavalrymen immediately fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, he could only swing his sword a few times. When he wanted to draw his sword and chop again, two horse lances stabbed straight at him.

Liu Zongmin exerted all his strength and his nerves were stretched to the limit, but he could only barely block one.

Seeing another one coming straight to his heart, Liu Zongmin's breathing almost stopped.

Fortunately, the soldiers who followed him in the charge were all his personal soldiers, and a rider beside him quickly stretched out his spear and deflected the lance.

He was then stabbed to death by the remaining cavalry who rushed up.

As the speed of the rebel army slowed down, three or four spears thrust out, sparking a burst of sparks but failing to cause any substantial damage to the cavalry.

Even because the war horses of the 3,000-camp cavalry had horse armor, the horse-stabbing tactics commonly used by the rebel army were of little use.

Fortunately, the rebel army had 4,000 cavalry, four times the number of the 3,000-strong battalion.

Relying on their numerical advantage, they stopped the 3,000-strong battalion.

Wu Wei saw it and felt anxious.

The task assigned to him by His Majesty was to penetrate directly into the main formation of the rebel army and separate the front and rear armies.

But at this moment he was being entangled by the cavalry of the rebel army. If he failed to make a mistake in His Majesty's plan, even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough to compensate for it!

I can still vividly remember how His Majesty personally helped him up and promoted him to the rank of Captain of the Three Thousand Battalions a few days ago.

Heaven’s kindness is so great that it is difficult to repay it in three lifetimes.

Looking at the Chuang army cavalry that was about to surround the 3,000-strong camp, Wu Wei knew that if he didn't make a decision, the entire 3,000-strong camp might have to be lost. His eyes moved between the thick military formation in front and the wide plain behind.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed the horse's belly hard, "Brothers, triple wave, charge!"

As an elite force rewarded by the system, the Three Thousand Battalion's understanding of war is only to charge now, charge later, and charge slowly.

No matter there is a smooth road or an abyss ahead!
The cavalry in the battle immediately withdrew from the battle, turned around and came behind their own centurion flag.

Led by the flag of a hundred households, each hundred households formed a row, and each array was divided into three rows, for a total of three arrays.

Wu Wei took the lead and rushed out with a spear.

The first group followed closely. Although the distance between the two sides was too close and the horses could not charge, Wu Wei did not care.

There was no intention of fighting any longer. If there was an enemy in front of him, he would draw his spear. If there was no enemy, he would continue to accelerate.

A total of three hundred cavalrymen penetrated the enemy's formation for a hundred steps. As soon as the horses' momentum weakened, they dispersed to both sides and rushed out of the enemy formation.

Before the cavalry in the front could react, the second group rushed over again.

Another three hundred cavalrymen rushed into the formation for a hundred and fifty steps before dispersing.

When it was the third formation's turn, the first formation led by Wu Wei had already regrouped and was ready for the attack.

The attacks, one wave stronger than the last, made it difficult for the cavalry at the front to withstand them, and more than half of them suffered casualties.

If it weren't for Liu Zongmin's pressure, the front cavalry would have been defeated.

The so-called triple wave is actually similar to a three-stage strike.

It's just that the bullets fired turned into the cavalry itself.

It is perfect for attacking the enemy's formation.

The disadvantage is that it consumes too much horsepower, especially for heavily armored cavalry. The warhorses are too heavily loaded and may not be able to complete their mission after breaking through the cavalry formation.

Wu Wei was worried about this point and didn't start by breaking the formation directly at the beginning.

The effect was also remarkable. After only two rounds of attack, they had penetrated nearly five hundred steps into the formation.

Because of the advantage in armor, their own casualties were less than fifty.

It only takes one round to break through the formation!
Liu Zongmin had already seen through Wu Wei's purpose and frantically rushed to the center of the formation to replenish his troops.

Once this cavalry is allowed to pass, it will be a catastrophic blow to the rebel army!

From the beginning to now, this war has fallen into a magical situation due to the magical operations of Zhu Youjian and Liu Zongmin.

The cavalry used for harassment and plundering began to engage the infantry in a similar manner.

A thousand heavily armored infantrymen fought back and forth with the soldiers from the old camp.

The surrendered troops, who clearly had the advantage in numbers, were being chased and attacked by more than 10,000 militiamen.

No one knows what changes will occur on the battlefield in the next second.

Even Song Xiance, who was always known for his meticulous planning, did not dare to mobilize troops rashly and stared at the battlefield nervously.

"Grand Military Advisor, let me take 500 personal soldiers to help General Quan! Don't pay attention to those civilians!" Liu Fangliang, the commander of the personal army camp, said almost pleadingly.

The white horse under his crotch kept paddling with its hooves.

Song Xiance was also somewhat tempted. At the beginning, he was very nervous when the large formation under the city split into two and rushed out.

But looking at those Ming troops, none of their formations could even run, and they were no different from armed militiamen.

Not even as good as the surrendered soldiers.

Only those thousand armored soldiers could barely be considered elite.
The worries in my heart subsided a little.

But problems also arise.

Why did the dog emperor drag the militia out to die?

The role of these soldiers in defending a city and fighting in the wild is completely different.

Does the dog emperor think that these ten thousand strong men, combined with five thousand elite soldiers, can defeat the twenty thousand surrendered soldiers?
Even if the surrendered army collapses at the first touch, the militia cannot shake it.

Although he was filled with doubts, he could not just watch as an army of over ten thousand people chased and killed the surrendered troops.

The only ones who can be mobilized now are the 6,000 old soldiers from the central army.

Although those three-layer heavy armored soldiers are tough, they are of no use in the war zone.

After ensuring that Liu Zongmin's troops would not be broken through for the time being.

Song Xiance finally looked at the anxious White Horse General Liu Fangliang.

"Mingyuan, I'm assigning you four thousand central troops. Do you see the armored Ming troops at the front on both sides?"

Liu Fangliang looked up and could clearly see that on each side there were 500 fully armored elite soldiers leading 6,000 to 7,000 weak troops charging.

"I saw it. The Grand Military Advisor wants me to eat them?"

Song Xiance nodded. "Although the Ming army on both sides is powerful, only the thousand armored troops are still capable of fighting. The four thousand soldiers of the old camp are enough. We only need to take out the thousand armored troops and ignore the rest."

Liu Fangliang laughed grimly, "I obey your orders!"

Liu Fangliang, known as the invincible general with white horse and silver spear, swung the bright silver spear in his hand and rode away.

The soldiers of the old camp in the central army also heard the military drum order, and rushed out with two thousand men on each side.

In a short while, Wang Erhu, who was rushing happily, saw the bright white figure.

And the two thousand old camp soldiers beside him.

The people in the Yongwei Camp were not surprised but happy, and the weapons in their hands were shaking.

"Brothers, come to life, fuck him!!!"

"Hahahaha, let Grandpa Emperor see that our Brave Guard Battalion is not made of mud!"

What's worse, some people threw away all the debris for fear of not being able to grab the head.

Wearing only armor and holding a goose-feather knife, he rushed out with a strange howl.

However, it was not just one person who rushed forward, but all three members of the Sancai formation did the same.

To grab the heads, you have to keep the military order at the beginning.

If Wang Erhu had used the Mandarin Duck Formation, then twelve people would have rushed out.

If it is the entire formation, it means everyone.

It is the purple entry "Legacy of the Qi Family Army"!
The nearly insane Yongwei Battalion had just engaged in battle with the soldiers of the old battalion, and Liu Fangliang was stunned.
