Chapter 127: Stabilize the Flanks

"The enemy is attacking!"

Fang Xing's scouts almost came back together with the scouts from the Vanguard Battalion. However, part of the scouts from the Vanguard Battalion still stayed there, waiting to observe the movement and strength of the enemy.

The smoke and dust in the distance was getting closer and closer, and under the smoke and dust, the dense figures made the soldiers who had just landed sink in their hearts.

Zhang Fu stood on the flagship, put down the binoculars, and said to Mu Sheng, "Most of Chen Jizuo's people are here."

Mu Sheng said worriedly: "But our army hasn't even finished the vanguard battalion. Brother Wenbi, you need to speed up!"

"It's already fast."

Zhang Fu saw more and more sergeants coming ashore, but he knew that the current combat effectiveness of these people was compromised.

"Report!"

A small boat approached, and after the messenger came up, he knelt down on one knee, "Master, Ruan Shuai and Deng Rong under Chen Jikuo's command led fifty thousand troops to attack."

Zhang Fu frowned and said, "How is the morale of the enemy army? Are there elephant soldiers?"

"Wuxiang soldiers have high morale."

Zhang Fu got up and walked to the side of the ship, said in a deep voice, "Order the Chinese army to speed up the landing!"

Mu Sheng was also about to go ashore. Looking at the swollen sails, he said faintly, "The wind is blowing!"

"Ministries prepare to defend against the enemy!"

Fang Zheng had already set up his formation, he glanced at the left wing worriedly, and said resolutely: "The Chinese army is right behind, brothers, let's fight a good battle!"

"Tiger tiger tiger!"

The morale here is high, but Fang Xing's side is not weak either.

In front of the neat queue, Fang Xing stood in front and shouted, "Brothers, the cochin rebellion is coming, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

The voice was very neat, but Fang Xing still said, "I'm not afraid to say it's a lie, because my legs are a little weak."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

In fact, everyone was very nervous, it was the first time on the battlefield!

But Fang Xing made fun of himself, which made everyone feel a lot easier.

Fang Xing put away his smile and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if your legs are soft or hard, but the enemy has already arrived."

At this time, the enemy army was already close to the distance of five miles, and the scouts of the vanguard battalion were already shooting at the scouts of the opponent.

"This battle is related to the overall situation of Cochin. If we retreat, the sea is behind us, and no one can survive!"

This problem is very real. Once the landing troops are driven into the sea, the enemy's navy will immediately emerge.

This was a characteristic of several Cochin battles. The enemy knew that simply fighting in water was no match for Da Ming, so they regarded the navy as a partial division, and took a bite when they got an opportunity.

"Only by going forward bravely can we win life!"

"Tiger tiger tiger!"

After three shouts, Fang Xing turned around and saw the scouts from the Vanguard Battalion fighting and retreating, so he said to the other side: "You take some brothers over there to meet them."

Fang Wu is the most talented guy in special operations among the servants, so he is leading the scout Baihu who was compiled separately.

"Yes, master!"

Fang Wu complied calmly, and rushed out with more than twenty soldiers.

With the sound of horseshoes, the scouts of the vanguard battalion accelerated their retreat when they saw reinforcements.

There were more than fifty chasing soldiers, and those thin, black and short Jiaozhi men shouted when they saw their opponents retreating, proudly wanting to show off in front of their opponents.

Fang Wu led people to meet the scouts, and immediately shouted: "Crossbow arrows!"

Using muskets on horseback is too inaccurate, so the scouts are equipped with crossbow bolts, and they have a long range.

Portable winches and crossbow arrows made of fine steel, these weapons in the warehouse appeared on the battlefield for the first time.

There was still more than a hundred meters away, and more than twenty bows and crossbows were raised.

"put!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The crossbow arrows pierced through the air.

The enemy did not expect to encounter a crossbow with such a long range. When he reacted,

Seven people have been knocked down.

"put!"

"put!"

After three rounds, there were only more than 30 enemies left among the more than 50 people.

Fang Wu immediately turned back with the scouts from the Qianfeng Battalion.

"good!"

Fang Zheng and Fang Xing, who had been paying attention to this side all the time, shouted hello.

Xin Laoqi said: "It's a pity you can't use grenades, otherwise none of these people can escape."

The enemy was already very close, and the scouts were all retreating. Fang Xing backed up and said, "Grenades are a secret weapon. You should use them when you can't hold them anymore. That's when the damage will be the greatest."

The two sides were less than a mile apart. Seeing the failure of their own scouts, the opposing general shouted angrily, then waved his long sword and shouted.

"******"

Tens of thousands of people shouted together, even if they couldn't understand, the momentum was shocking.

The enemy started to run, and the few cavalry in front were desperately accelerating, trying to open a passage for the infantry.

Xin Laoqi put down his binoculars and said in a deep voice, "Master, the enemy army has divided up."

Fang Xing had already seen that the enemy army had separated out about 5,000 soldiers and was rushing towards the left wing.

"Prepare!"

Fang Zheng was too busy to take care of himself at the moment, he just prayed that Fang Xing could block the enemy for a while, and then the follow-up troops would catch up.

But once the flanks collapsed and the waist and ribs of the forward battalion were pierced, the battle was basically over.

Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Transfer a thousand households over there!"

But it was still too late, Fang Xingbu on the flank had already collided with the enemy immediately.

Those little Cochin people were riding on horseback, shouting in their mouths, and waving the long knives in their hands non-stop.

near!

Fang Xing rode his horse and saw this scene from the side. He felt his adrenaline rush and his hands were shaking.

Perhaps feeling the atmosphere of the battle, the big white horse snorted and kicked eagerly.

One hundred and fifty meters!

All the sergeants held their breath.

Xin Laoqi held the Tang Dao tightly, his eyes were as big as copper bells.

One hundred meters!

"first row……"

The sergeants in the first row all aimed at the enemy, their hearts beating rapidly.

"The first row... salvo!"

The cochin cavalry saw that the enemy in front of them was only this group of people, and immediately felt that today's battle was stable.

"******"

The leading general shouted excitedly, this is to encourage the soldiers to rush up and slaughter the weak enemy on the opposite side.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Just when the enemy thought that this front line would be broken through by him, there was a burst of popping beans.

Amidst the gunpowder smoke, the cavalry who had rushed to less than 80 meters seemed to have encountered a wall.

"Yilulu!"

"ah!"

There were screams all over the place, and after the horse was hit, it jumped wildly on the spot, affecting the subsequent impact.

Seeing the success of the first attack, Xin Laoqi shouted excitedly: "Shoot!"

The hundred men who made it to the first row pulled the trigger immediately.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

After shooting, the row of soldiers immediately turned back, walked to the back of the queue, and began to reload.

"Beep beep!"

At this time, people on the battlefield were screaming, and the shouts could no longer be heard, so Xin Laoqi blew his whistle vigorously.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Fang Zheng also responded to the enemy at this time, and the firearm battalion in front retreated to the side after two rounds of fighting.

"Let the arrow!"

The archers let go of their hands, and the sky became dark.

"Yilulu..."

In the midst of his busy schedule, Fang Zheng asked, "How about the flank?"
