Chapter 665 Dare to enter the battle?

Wu Sangui and Guo Tuzhuang each led an army of nearly ten thousand horses, bypassing the infantry fighting in front of them.

On the hilltops on the two wings of the Wei army, the bronze cannons retreated violently, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle, and an iron bullet was shot out quickly from the orange-red flames, hitting Guan Ning's cavalry, splashing a cloud of mud.

The horse neighed, the horse stumbled, and the soldiers on the horse were thrown away, and then they were trampled into meat.

Wu Sangui held a lance in his hand and rode the horse galloping, regardless of the mud splashing around him and the people howling and neighing, he pointed the lance forward and led the cavalry to charge.

Guan Ning's iron cavalry climbed over a small hill and rushed down the farmland, trampling with horseshoes and splashing mud.

For a time, the mountains and plains were full of galloping and neighing horse troops, with mud pillars and gunpowder smoke rising among them, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

On the second front of the Wei army, the general in command was Wang Guangen. When he saw the enemy cavalry galloping, he had an ugly expression on his face.

After being equipped with a large number of firearms, especially the self-generating firecrackers, the army formation of the Wei army began to be simplified, and there were only two formations, the horizontal formation and the square formation.

The horizontal formation has no depth, but it can shoot the maximum amount of projectiles at one time, which can give full play to the advantages of firepower, restrain the slow infantry, and allow the infantry to be crippled by platoon guns before they approach the horizontal formation. However, because there is no depth, the horizontal formation It cannot withstand the impact of cavalry, so the horizontal formation is mainly used to deal with infantry, not to restrain cavalry.

The phalanx is the other way around. When facing the infantry, only one side of the four directions can fire projectiles, and the firepower is greatly reduced. It is difficult to restrain the infantry in a horizontal formation, but because it has depth, it has defensive capabilities and attacks on all sides. ability, so the cavalry has nothing to do with him.

Guan Ning's iron cavalry came around from behind the first front line, less than [-] steps away from the second front line, and it was too late for Wei Jun to change formation.

Wang Guangen saw Guan Ning's iron cavalry roaring towards them. The cavalry covered the field like a tide, and the Wei army's line was like a dam facing the tide. He immediately drew his knife and roared, "Rocket!"

Numerous horse heads on Wu Sangui's left and right surged forward, and the officers and men of the Guan Ning Army raised their three-eyed firecrackers one after another. Jun left behind.

In the past ten years, Guan Ning's army has not fought a few serious battles. Most of the time, they pay attention to protecting their own strength, and in this case, they look for opportunities to make meritorious service.

Wu Sangui has only played life three times recently, one against Li Zicheng, one against Zhang Xianzhong, and the last time is now.

These three life-defying actions were all related to his and Guan Ning's future and vital interests, so he had to do his best.

At this time, he was galloping on his horse, and when he saw several soldiers pushing out several small carts on the front line of the Wei army, his heart immediately trembled.

There were many rockets in the Ming Dynasty, such as swarming bees, hundreds of tigers galloping together arrows, etc. The one launched in front of him was the hundred tigers galloping together arrows.

Almost at the same moment, countless dazzling lights erupted from those small carts, and the white smoke quickly covered the Wei army's line. Countless arrows screamed and ran wildly, and the horses neighed. chaos.

Guan Ning's cavalry fell to the ground again and again, but Wu Sangui did not evade. He threw the horse in one fell swoop and continued to shout loudly: "Kill!"

Most of the cavalrymen who fell from their horses were trampled to death by the later horse troops. Guan Ning's iron cavalry continued to charge forward, and there was another burst of "bang bang bang" on the front of the Wei army.

After the rocket was launched, gunpowder smoke obscured his vision, and Wu Sangui couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly. He could only hear the neighing of the people and horses around him, and the screams of the cavalry falling to the ground, so he knew that the cavalry had suffered heavy losses.

With a loud "boom", a hand-throwing thunder exploded beside him, and a blast of air waves hit him, almost blowing him over.

Wu Sangui saw a servant next to him who was blown to the ground with his horse, and when he heard the miserable hiss behind him, he was furious.

The huge casualties of the Guanning Army have already angered Wu Sangui.

For Ma Jun, the distance of two hundred steps was just a matter of days and nights.

Wu Sangui rushed out of the dense gunpowder smoke, his eyes suddenly became clear, and immediately he saw a group of Wei soldiers holding their thorns obliquely, standing in front of him, only three thin rows.

For a moment, Wu Sangui's face revealed a look of cruelty. He spotted Wei Jun in front of him, and retracted Ma Yang so that he could aim and stab out.

"Bang bang bang" sounded, but this time it was not Wei Jun's gun, but the three-eyed gun in Guan Ning's iron cavalry.

The blunderbuss balls flew out, filled with gunpowder smoke, and the soldiers in front of the Wei army's line fell to the ground one after another. At almost the same time, Wu Sangui had already bumped into the Wei army's line. He knocked a Wei soldier into the air and pushed the body away for a battle before he pulled out his horse and rode his horse towards the third front.

In a short while, the second line of the Wei army was torn apart by the Guan Ning army, the soldiers were cut down by the cavalry with their knives, and the horse army rushed out of the gap like a flood.

Guan Ning's infantry, who had been defeated by the Wei army in the front, saw Wu Sangui's banner, charged forward, broke through the barrier, and rushed straight to Gao Yihuan's banner, and immediately let out a cheer. position.

Under the flag of the Wei Army, Gao Yihuan saw Guan Ning's army break through the line of defense. The corner of his mouth twitched and he waved an order, "Order the horse army to attack, cover the blunderbuss and retreat to the two wings, and the central army prepares to meet the enemy!"

The Ma army's attack formation was conical. Guan Ning's army cut a point on Wei's defense line, and then quickly expanded to the left and right to widen the gap.

When Guan Ning's cavalry poured into the second line of defense from the gap and rushed towards the third line of defense, the Wei army on the second line of defense saw that they could not resist, and quickly retreated to both sides of the gap.

Guan Ning's army immediately separated several groups of cavalry to cover up and kill the retreating Wei army, but at this time the Wei army's horse army rushed out, and Guan Ning's army had no choice but to abandon the gunners and face the more threatening Wei army's horse army.

The gunners of the Wei army retreated to the bottom of the artillery formation, and immediately regrouped. Under the cover of the artillery, they pressed down on the infantry in the melee.

When the Wei army on the second front line blocked it, the Wei army on the third front line quickly changed formations, forming small square formations, with gaps leaking one by one.

"My lord, it's a hollow formation, you can't go deep!" Xia Guoxiang galloped his horse and reminded urgently.

Wu Sangui couldn't help slowing down in the gallop. In the wilderness in front of him, there were large and small phalanxes, and Gao Yihuan's banner was in a large phalanx.

In each phalanx, the front row is full of spearmen wearing heavy armor, squatting on the ground, stabbing their spears obliquely, and the back row is firecrackers, with artillery and rockets in the formation.

Gao Yihuan stood under the banner of the big flag, looking at the Guanning iron cavalry coming from all over the mountains and plains, his eyes fell on a team of self-born gunmen in front of him, and he sneered: "The lonely king is here, the lonely king of Wu Sangui called you, you Dare to come in?"
