Sun Yao stood in the high command car. He could overlook the entire battlefield. The middle formation and the right wing first came into contact with each other. Under the command of the officers and the sergeant commanders, the Ming army on the opposite side kept falling and retreating. Many Ming soldiers panicked and pushed back. The corpses all over the ground had fallen down in front, and the color of the ground was obviously added with a lot of bright red.

The Ming army's drum beat louder and louder. It should be the commander's order that the commander had issued a critical moment. More than 2,000 cavalry on the left wing began to rush forward quickly. They should have wanted to break through the mine formation from the left side, and at least put pressure on this side to slow down the miners' advancement.

The column's round shooting is not as powerful as the horizontal team, but the victory lies in the fastest. If one side maintains high morale and the other side is not able to deal with it and there is no good way to deal with the powerful musket, then the victory balance will tilt towards the column's side.

Seeing the Ming cavalry running towards him from the left wing, Sun Yao's face moved and felt that he had seized the opportunity to win.

The commander and general of the Ming army should be the best group of people under his system, but the level of battlefield command is nothing more than that.

There are no mysterious and mysterious things in the Shang army. Of course, we can still learn military books such as Liutao and Sun Tzu's Art of War, but they are just a reference.

The senior generals of the Shang Group Army are enough to be proficient in calculations.

How much enemy can the firepower output of one side cover, how much firepower output of the other side, the number of people on both sides, the training comparison, the weapon comparison, the impact of the battlefield geographical situation and geographical environment conditions on the war, logistics work, military and political work, staff and paperwork, etc.

Many things are cold numbers and nothing mysterious.

I have more people than you, better equipment than you, and the battlefield is suitable for geography. I can win if I fight in a battle.

There is no situation where a strong wind blows the flag and the winner will change hands. It may appear in other less professional troops, and there will never be such a possibility in the merchant army.

The opportunity for victory and defeat came in a flash. Sun Yao finally looked at the middle formation and the right wing. The middle formation had already broken through the outer defense line of the Ming army. After the continuous increase in troops, the Ming army barely stabilized the front line. Now the miners and spearmen lined forward and made roars like thunder. The Ming army also had great difficulties in dealing with the attack of the spearmen. The miners were powerful and well-known in the array. Although they were much more unfamiliar with the military soldiers, they were still not under the Ming army. The well-equipped and commanded officers were very professional and smart. They kept making slight adjustments, expanding the strike surface, and quickly inserted into the gap exposed by the Ming army, without giving the other party a chance to fill the gap. The Ming army array in the middle formation was like a saw, which had been beaten to pieces everywhere.

The right wing expanded faster, and there were signs of collapse on the right wing of the Ming army. Fortunately, some vitality troops were transferred up and barely resisted the attack of the miners' right wing. However, the Ming army's left and right support had obvious signs of being unable to withstand it.

Sun Yao smiled slightly. The current situation was the result of the commander of the two armies fighting with their wits. It was obvious that he won.

If the miners are asked to set up a horizontal lineup, it will take a long time to arrange the array, so that the Ming army can see the reality and increase the other party's confidence, and the horizontal lineup needs to open the battlefield. The Ming army can take advantage of the miners' formation to attack first, which will cause considerable trouble.

This army is so good now because the Ming army is waiting to die and has no idea or consciousness to seize dominance on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, it is still an army dominated by civilians. Military training only strengthens their military skills, which does not mean that they have changed from civilians to professional soldiers. There are obvious differences between the two.

The opportunity to win is to seize the moment when the Ming army was hesitant, confused and timid, quickly complete the deployment of the column's advancement, and then attack quickly, creating the greatest result in the shortest time. If the Ming army collapsed, the battle would have been won.

Of course, the Xuan army on the opposite side is worthy of being elite. It can still withstand the situation when it is washed by the front team of miners with muskets. It also uses bird guns, small cannons, and bows and arrows. This also brings casualties to the miners. It is closer to the distance. The Ming army began to resist the column attack with hand-to-hand combat. Compared with the Xuan Daming army, the miners' hand-to-hand combat ability is obviously insufficient. The long spearmen array resists the Ming army's attack, and the muskets constantly launch long-range fire support. In addition, the momentum has already risen, and the Ming army is in chaos and the array is uneven, so the balance of victory is tilted towards the miners.

To be fair, the Ming army has responded well so far. If they resist the attacks under the agility of the miners, they may be in a stalemate and fight until the afternoon.

But I don’t know who made the decision. The right wing of the Ming army rushed towards the left wing of the miners and tried to cause trouble from the left wing of the miners. As soon as this decision was made, the winner had already arrived.

"Cut off the connection between the enemy cavalry and its main formation." Sun Yao pressed his hands on the car and said to the commander word by word: "The left wing quickly inserted it without entanglement with the enemy cavalry. It has already left his own mid-range. Our left wing rushed towards the mid-range and together with our mid-range, defeating the mid-range!"

"yes!"

The commemorative officer quickly conveyed the order. The flag bearer waved the flag. At the same time, the commemorative officers went to each department to pass the order. The situation on the battlefield changed very quickly, and the flag language may not express the meaning of the chief general very clearly, so the setting of the commemorative soldiers is also very important.

At this time, the two armies were already in a fierce battle. The two fronts were like the horns of warships, and they were moving forward and backward, rising and falling, like waves on the sea.

Xuan Dabian was already at a clear disadvantage, so when their cavalry rushed out of the position, more than two thousand cavalry raised their swords and spears to the left of the miners, a burst of cheers broke out from the Ming army's position, and many Xuan Dabian soldiers were greatly excited, rushed forward in a short period of time, barely stabilizing their positions.

The Ming army's battlefield commander here made a fatal mistake. The cavalry set off from the right wing and attacked the left wing of the miners. It seemed very threatening, but if the miners reacted quickly, they could break the connection between the cavalry and the infantry formation.

A small number of elite cavalry must cooperate with the infantry formation to act. Otherwise, in such a large-scale battle of tens of thousands of people, one or two thousand cavalry will not be able to control the situation. If used improperly, it will be a complete waste.

After the cavalry rushed out, Sun Yao quickly ordered that the left wing, which was originally somewhat delayed and chaotic, immediately rushed forward. Ten minutes later, Ming cavalry appeared on their left. The miners rushed forward and quickly pulled apart from several columns. It was too easy to unfold the side. Just pull the team into three rows and face the enemy cavalry across.

Under the fierce attack of muskets, the effects obtained by the Ming cavalry were quite limited. They could not break through, but were killed more than a hundred people in an instant. The cavalry detoured on the left side of the miners, trying to find a gap. At this time, Sun Yao put the last reserve team over, and several companies appeared in a horizontal line at the back, turning against the cavalry. At this time, the Ming cavalry began to hesitate and did not know where to choose to break through.

The array of mine soldiers is still relatively complete, and the complete infantry formation is not so easy to break through. The gunmen of the two squadrons must have been covered by the spearmen of two squadrons. Once the cavalry really wants to break through the formation, they have to face a large number of spears like thorns from the forest. In fact, the mine soldiers are militias and have not been issued bayonets. Otherwise, more than a dozen hollow square formations would be placed on the left wing, and the Ming cavalry had no room for detour to think, so they could only retreat in a mess.

Under such conflicts and countermeasures, the column attacked extremely fast, with more than 5,000 people on the left wing advancing, and in less than two quarters of an hour, they advanced nearly three miles, crossed the last ridge, rushed into the official road, lifted up the large chariot placed by the Ming army, and at the same time, they used muskets to scatter the Ming army artillery positions dozens of steps away, and the Ming army gunners ran away with their heads in their arms.

At the same time, the right wing also rushed into the Ming army's array, and the Ming army, which was also fighting, retreated step by step.

At this point, the two wings flew together, and the mid-range was about to break through. The array of mine soldiers was like three arrows, one left and one right and one middle, and it had almost divided the Ming army of more than 10,000 people and included it in the encirclement at the same time.

Most of the Ming cavalry that were split were back in the distance. They tried in vain to find flaws and began to fight with several columns that were too sudden. However, as the sound of muskets continued to sound, the cavalry played a very small role in the chaotic battlefield, and did not have the assistance of their own infantry. They did not gain much advantage in such a war of attrition. The cavalry caused some trouble and chaos to the left wing of the miners, and also some damage. However, compared with the breakthrough of the main formation of the Ming army, the results of the Ming cavalry were not worth mentioning.

"Defeated, defeated."

Finally, some Ming soldiers shouted to admit their failure, and many people began to turn around and escape without restraint.

At first, the generals took Need to restrain his subordinates from defeating them, and even killed deserters. However, as the situation worsened, the possibility of being surrounded began to increase. The enemy troops on the opposite side became more and more brave, and they obviously took the initiative in the battlefield. It was meaningless to persevere. Middle and lower-level officers had already turned around and fled with their subordinates.

The generals of the governor Biao camp brought Needing and his personal soldiers to gather together, gathering a team of three or four hundred people. Hong Chengchou's Changsui had been persuading for a long time, and his mouth was dry. Hong Chengchou just closed his eyes and said nothing. When he saw the signs of a major collapse and was unable to turn the world back, Hong Chengchou suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and wanted to commit suicide across his neck.

Several Changsui was so scared that they were scattered and rushed forward. Some held hands and some grabbed the sword, and instantly seized the sword in Hong Chengchou's hand.

"Don't mist me!" Hong Chengchou said angrily: "Lost your troops and humiliate the country. This time, the great defeat is no more than ordinary wars. My official will mist the country. Even if you escape your life now, you will not be able to escape the sanctions of the country's laws!"

The generals around him surrounded him and persuaded him, "Why do you have to do this? Those who are the generals will inevitably suffer defeat. The King of Zhongshan has been defeated by Wang Baobao, let alone us. If Hutchison really violates the border in a large scale, the court must use officials like the military who are familiar with the situation of Xuanda to stabilize the overall situation. Why should they reach that point as the Lord said?"

Hong Chengchou closed his eyes and said nothing. The laws of the country are still strict. Yang Hao went to Wang Huazhen, Yuan Yingtai, Xiong Tingbi, and the officials who were defeated in the border areas would either be imprisoned or beheaded, or commit suicide by themselves. No one could be spared.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Lord Lu led his troops to fight!"

Not far away, Lu Xiangsheng was wearing a white horse and a red robe, wearing silver armor and a silver helmet on his head. He was so majestic, like a general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, rather than a scholar who had been studying in the cottage for more than ten years.

This is Lu Xiangsheng, who is well-read in poetry and books, is capable in government affairs, and has a clear idea. He trains troops, is in battle, suddenly fights and fights in blood, mobilizes new officials, comforts the people, manages officials, encourages farmers and cultivates mulberry trees, and all civil and military talents are called "this talent is worthy of possession."
