Chapter 1343 thick armor
More than a dozen teams formed a small circular square array, and each circular square array was grouped together, commanded by the debashiku, Bashiku, and Niuluezhen. The officers were in front of the team, and the vests were at the forefront of the team, with very few people, which seemed quite thin.
This is a defensive array, mainly with flag archers, with a small number of elite vests and officers in front, forming an attacking formation. The Muha Company hopes that they can repel the enemy's attack with the help of the archers.
The Later Jin soldiers were stationed at the west entrance of Shisan Mountain and Guangning, with more than 3,100 people all here, leaving only less than a hundred cavalry raids at the east entrance, and even abandoned the old camp and several long trenches.
Muhalian had to do this. When the elites at the foot of the mountain were about to go down the mountain to invite the battle, they divided the three thousand people into two places. Although they could support and rescue each other, it was undoubtedly quite stupid.
At the same time, Muhalian sent Tangma to request a retreat. This practice would definitely make Lao Khan angry and affect his future. But Muhalian knew that retreating was the right way. If there were thousands of vests now, of course, he could fight with the Ming people at the foot of the mountain, but whether the troops would arrive in time? Muhalian had no confidence in this.
A quick cry of night owl came from not far away. Muhalian looked solemn and said to his assistants around him: "The people of Ming Dynasty are coming down, let's prepare for war!"
A Niu Luezhen said: "We all know that the Ming people on the mountain are very good at fighting, but I believe they can still be driven back."
"Yes." A Melezhangjing said: "I am invincible in the battle of the Great Jin."
Everyone cheered each other up and returned to their command posts.
Muhalian could hear the disconfidence in the hearts of these generals. He felt a little sad. When did the soldiers of the Dajin start to fear the enemy?
The battle formations of the Later Jin Dynasty were very outstanding and they were usually very important. More than 3,000 people formed a very tight array outside the exit of the mountain road, and there were also some horse-repellent and shallow ditches as auxiliary. At this time, people found that there were dense torches on the valley. It was actually around six o'clock in the morning, but Qimingxing was still very bright, and the moonlight was still there, plus frost and snow. Although there was no sunlight, the sky was not very dark. Torch was coming down on the mountain, which meant that they were preparing to fight at least one hour ago, which was quite consistent with the movements and movements that Muhalian and others at the foot of the mountain were sensed and the sounds detected by the reconnaissance.
This also shows that the Ming people on the mountain have a strong confidence, and they get up and prepare at normal times, complete the team after dinner, and then go down the mountain with a torch.
The main force on the mountain is in the forward base near the foot of the mountain, which is also one of the reasons why the movement was discovered by the Jurchens.
But the obvious thing about the mountain doesn't care, it doesn't matter to be noticed.
When Muha thought of this, he felt insulted, and felt his stomach sac tightening and he wanted to vomit.
"I'm old." Muhalian thought sadly.
There were thunder-like drum beats on both sides of the mountain road, and the rustling sound of spring eating leaves.
The torches are getting closer and closer, and they are becoming denser. They wind down from the mountain road, like a fire dragon or a fire star.
The Ming army gradually opened at the exit of the mountain road, with drums constantly, and a large number of torches from left to right quickly pulled from deep into horizontal lines, turning into very wide fronts.
At this moment, the Jin soldiers watched quietly, and no one had the intention to take advantage of the situation to raid.
The trenches and the refusal of the Ming army were separated, and of course, they also separated the roads of the Later Jin soldiers' own surprise attacks.
The crowd's breathing gradually became heavier, and this kind of scene tests people's will.
The moonlight was dim, and a red glow appeared in the sky, and a bloody battle was about to usher in. Many people looked up at the sky with their heads raised, wondering if they could see the rising sun rise in a while.
The Later Jin soldiers began to form a squad, forming a circular array of small groups. Under the supervision and management of officers, they tried to line up the queues as much as possible. Each team and formation had a strict distance. Under the guidance of the military flag, they could cooperate with each other, and whether it was to expand the results of the battle or support each other, it was very effective.
The merchant army opposite was also lined up, and the torches were extinguished one by one, and the entire army gradually exposed to the eyes of the Later Jin soldiers.
A piece of silver shines, which is the first impression of all the Later Jin soldiers.
The distance between the two sides was about 300 steps, and the distance was very close. The Later Jin soldiers could see the entire army under the banner. This armed force they called the Ming Kingdom regiment was enough to suffocate everyone.
The military formation was extremely neat, as smooth as tofu cut by a knife. Flags were spread out under the morning light, and small square formations stood under the flags.
A part of the Ming army broke out in front, and the sides gradually moved backwards. This was a standard attack array. After wedged into the enemy formation, the two wings gradually expanded, expanding the point of breaking, forming a breaking surface, and then forming an overall attack.
This is easy to be surrounded by the enemy. Assault formations require absolute confidence in their own strength to be arranged like this. Later Jin soldiers have round formations, square formations, and square formations. Generally, circular formations are used to attack the enemy, but defense is not necessarily the case. Many generals yell in anger when they see the formations used by the Ming people.
But they soon couldn't call out, and the merchant army opposite quickly completed the whole team. When the last torch was extinguished, an army of about 5,000 people was set up in front of the Jurchens. Small arrays of more than 100 people gathered into a large assault array. The soldiers formed a stacked array, like fish scales, extremely sharp, and also symbolized the incomparable determination and fighting spirit of the merchant army.
The silver in the array was shining brightly, and the jumping soldiers were all heavily armored. The number of soldiers here was far more than ordinary regiments, and most of them were mountain heavy infantry.
The mountain infantry were wearing heavy armor of about 70 kilograms, holding shields and lancets, and standing together gave people a sense of suffocation and oppression. The heavy armor of these people felt too cruel. From the iron mask on their faces to the iron mesh boots and shin guards on their legs and feet, almost all of their bodies were wrapped in iron armor.
When these people were moving, they could clearly hear the rustling sounds from hundreds of steps away. The impact and oppression of this sound was very powerful. When the iron-armored infantry was walking, many Jurchen flag dicks swallowed, and then pulled the thin cotton armor or mail on their bodies, showing a dull and unannoyed expression on their faces.
