Chapter 942 Opening
Hu Dawei was riding on a war horse, holding a big knife, and staring at the Ming army calmly.

At this time, Li Jiyu led 3000 people, broke away from the team, bypassed the battlefield, and headed southeast.

They wanted to try to prevent the Ming army's warships from escaping, but also to cut off the connection between the Ming army and the navy in Tianjin.

Wei Jun's shortcoming lies in the navy. Gao Yihuan often mentioned this matter, and expressed his depression that Wei Jun's navy could not support the wall.

This situation made Gao Yihuan very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

In order to maintain this advantage, the Ming army took very strict precautions against the manufacture of warships, the organization and training of the navy.

Like the Ming army, the Wei army also sent many spies to infiltrate the Ming army's navy, but the navy was much more complicated than the infantry, and the Wei army had stolen troops for several years, but the effect was not obvious.

The Ming army could get the firecrackers and cannons of the Wei army, but it was very difficult for the Wei army to get a Ming army warship.

Hu Dawei stared at those bright ships and thought it was an opportunity, so he had to stay.

At the same time, according to the intelligence, the Ming army is close to 6000, but there are only more than [-] people in front of us, which means that there are still people behind, still in Tianjin.

In order to prevent them from rushing to meet them and suddenly rushing to the battlefield, it is also necessary to send troops to cut off the connection between the Ming army.

Gao Yizhen in the Ming army formation and Shi Lang who was standing on the ship's tower saw the three thousand horse troops leaving the brigade, and their faces became gloomy.

"What are they going to do?" Panic appeared on the faces of the soldiers in the army formation.

One of the advantages of the cavalry is the ability to maneuver, intersperse and turn around. Obviously, the Wei cavalry is going to cut off their retreat.

In fact, if the Wei army is willing, these three thousand cavalry will cut off the connection between the Ming army and the navy, cut off their supplies and reinforcements, and then the cavalry will monitor them like this. As long as they are besieged for three or four days, the Ming army will definitely not be able to maintain their formation. At that time, as long as they want to escape, or if they move, the formation is slightly loosened, the horse army will charge immediately, and the Ming army will soon collapse.

It's just that Hu Dawei is going to chase the Qing army, so he can't waste time here, so he must quickly defeat the Ming army, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

"General, Wei Jun is going to steal our way!" An officer in the formation said anxiously.

Gao Yizhen's face was gloomy, but there was nothing he could do. Although he discovered Wei Jun's intentions, he couldn't resolve them.Are you retreating now?Then the Ming Army Ma Jun will pounce on him immediately!Are you actively attacking?The Wei army and the horse army must retreat first. When you leave the canal and the formation is scattered, turn back and charge, and the Ming army will still be finished.

Although the tight infantry formation is the nemesis of the cavalry and can deter the cavalry, the power of the cavalry has never been just to charge the formation. His strength lies in maneuvering and the ability to make quick surprise attacks when the enemy is not prepared.

Gao Yizhen had a gloomy face, "Don't be afraid, strictly guard the formation, the Wei army dare not attack us!"

At this time, while Li Jiyu was leaving in Juechen, in the Wei army formation, three thousand dragon cavalry dismounted and lined up in a horizontal formation.

The soldiers stood in three rows with the bureau as the unit, and the soldiers stood with muskets in their hands. The officer quickly checked the equipment of each soldier, and then blew his whistle one after another. The three thousand Wei soldiers lined up and did not move.

Seeing this, the infantry of the Ming army was in a commotion again, and the cavalry of the Wei army stopped charging and fought on foot instead.

The advantage of the horizontal formation is that it can maximize the firepower of the army. A frontal row of guns can defeat any other infantry formation. Only the cavalry can resist it, as well as your own horizontal formation.

Seeing the Wei army spreading out horizontally in the wilderness, and the Ming army forming a square formation, they panicked immediately.

At this moment, there was a roar on the canal, billows of white smoke rose up, covering the side of the warship, and the shells drew a trajectory, smashed in front of the Wei army's formation, splashed lumps of mud, and even fell directly in front of the Wei army. But they held muskets, stood still, and their expressions did not fluctuate.

The artillery of the warships of the Ming army began to be installed on a trial basis. There were Hongyi cannons on board and a thousand-jin Flang machine with different ranges.

In the Ming army formation, Gao Yizhen's expression became serious, but at this time the army formation has been formed, and changing the formation easily will inevitably cause chaos in the army formation, giving the Wei army and horse army an opportunity to take advantage of.

This put the Ming army in a dilemma. When they changed their formation and fired against the Wei army's platoons of guns, the Wei army's horse army would inevitably make a surprise attack. Before the appearance of machine guns, the infantry's firepower could never stop the cavalry from attacking.

The horizontal formation is thin and deep, and the infantry gunners are bound to be smashed into pieces by the Wei army's horse army. However, if the formation does not change, the hollow formation cannot exert the frontal firepower of the infantry, so it must not be the opponent of the horizontal formation salvo.

At this time, there was commotion in the Ming army, and we could only hope that the Wei army, who dismounted and formed the formation, was not an elite line infantry, and the artillery bombardment on the warship undoubtedly gave the Ming army a sigh of relief again.

At this time, in the horizontal formation of the Wei army, each formation raised the corresponding flag to indicate that they were ready, and Hu Dawei immediately waved his hand, "Attack!"

When approaching Beijing, Hu Dawei received the news that the Qing army fled to the south, and the Ming army rushed from Tianjin to Beijing. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to defeat the Ming army who came to Beijing first, and wait for the Wei army to enter Beijing. He turned around and chased Dorgon again.

Although there were many family members of the Qing army and they could not walk fast, most of the Manchus could ride horses. If it was too late, they might have already gone to Shandong.

Therefore, he was eager to deal with the Ming army, and when he saw that the Wei army's line was [-]%, he immediately ordered.

As soon as the command was issued, the military flag was waved, and the officers of each formation immediately drew their sabers and shouted loudly: "Quan Division, move forward, advance!"

"Tiger!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the soldiers immediately held their guns on their shoulders, and walked forward in unison in the mist caused by the bombardment of the Ming army's shells.

The Ming army saw that in the wilderness, the Wei army formed a human wall and pressed towards them. The Ming army in the formation hurriedly rolled out the artillery, began to load, and prepared to shoot.

On the canal, the artillery on the sides of the warships fired one after another "boom bang bang", and there was a thin layer of smoke in the sky. As the Wei army advanced, the smashed mud splashed, and the front line was pierced by shells from time to time.

The Wei army formed a wide horizontal formation, and the cannons on both wings were dragged by the horses and followed the infantry forward.

In the past, the artillery of the Wei army often had an advantage in range in wars, but this time it was an exception. The Ming army's warships were equipped with heavy artillery, so that the Wei army's artillery had to be suppressed by the Ming army's cannons. Shoot the Ming army front.

Under the bombardment of the artillery, the Wei army followed the drums and slowly advanced. The artillery shells smashed through several rows of soldiers, leaving a gap, but the soldiers of the Wei army continued to march unswervingly.

The front line moved forward in the splashed mud column, the army passed by, and the bodies of Wei Jun who were hit by shells were left scattered on the ground~
