Chapter 96: The ferocity of the Eastern Cavalry
"Lord Wang, there is no movement at all in front of you, Wu Sangui has not run away, otherwise there will be no movement.
The two Niu Lu entered the valley, the valley was quiet, Wu Sangui 30,000 Guan Ning Iron Horse, as if he wanted to suddenly evaporate from the world.
Feeling strange, they hurriedly turned their horses' heads around and returned to report to Dórd.
When Duoduo heard this, of course he frowned, how could Wu Sangui's 30,000 Guan Ning army suddenly disappear, there was only one possibility.
Thinking of this possibility, Duoduo shook his head again, he felt that it was too unrealistic, almost impossible.
Who can kill 30,000 horses in such a short time?
"Look for it and see if there's a body or anything nearby."
Even if all the people were killed in battle, there would not be a single corpse left, and Duoduo immediately ordered to check the surrounding situation.
"Report, there are a lot of corpses of Guan Ningjun piled up in front, we may have been tricked, and the prince will withdraw from this place quickly."
One of the Jiala's foreheads came back to report that they had found a large number of Guan Ningjun's corpses in front of them, and Duoduo was frightened by his words.
The sound of guns and cannons was not heard, if the 30,000 Guanning army was completely annihilated, then there would be no way to fight this battle again, indicating that the enemy was too fierce.
"You guys look more clearly and see if there is Wu Sangui's body."
"Lord Wang. There were corpses of Guan Ningjun everywhere, and it was impossible to find Wu Sangui at all. ”
Think about it, there are so many corpses, and there is a lot of wind and sand, where to find a person's corpse.
It was so appalling that Duoduo suddenly felt his hairs stand on end.
There have been countless big and small battles, and Duoduo has always been known for his ferocity, and he has done the most to slaughter the city after entering the customs.
Just such a murderous demon king, he suddenly felt frightened and ordered the Eastern Cavalry to retreat quickly.
"There are ghosts, it's terrible, it's only been a long time, the front team has become the back team, and they rushed out of this place quickly, and they must not stay."
The Eastern Cavalry was indeed well-trained, and at the command of Duoduo, the army quickly changed from front to rear, preparing to rush out of the valley quickly.
"Bang ......"
Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and then a rumbling cannon began to sound non-stop, and countless shells bombarded the Eastern Cavalry team like an overwhelming bombardment.
Suddenly, the cavalry kept falling off their horses, but the formation of the Eastern Cavalry was not chaotic, and they did not stop at all, and they were still retreating rapidly.
Seeing that Niu Lu under his command kept people falling off his horse, Duoduo was furious:
"Quick, fight back with a bow and arrow."
Led by Dordor were all cavalry, with neither a firearms battalion nor artillery, and could only order a counterattack with bows and arrows.
In an instant, the 3,000 Eastern Cavalry began to shoot their bows and arrows in the direction of the cannonballs.
Bow and arrow against artillery, if you can stop the artillery bombardment, it is a miracle.
Seeing that the other party was about to shoot arrows again, Qi Jiguang gave an order:
"Rattan protects artillery."
Immediately, a soldier stepped forward to protect the artillerymen with rattan signs.
Although the cavalry of the Eastern Invasion was very fierce in cavalry shooting, as soon as the rattan card was on, the cavalry shooting was meaningless, just wasting arrows and affecting the speed of retreat.
At this time, Niu Lu stepped forward to report:
"Report to the prince, there are many chariots in front of you blocking the way of retreat."
Duoduo was taken aback, the other side should have set up an ambush on both sides, and they actually blocked it with their chariots, which was obviously to completely annihilate their rhythm with yellow flags.
Only Qi Jiguang's command is the most threatening, after Qi Jiguang's death, the Qi family's army can no longer be compared with the car battalion, and many cavalry in the East have fought with the car battalion.
Raising his binoculars and looking, Dodor immediately ordered:
"The attack of the car battalion is not a big threat, the main thing is that the defense is strong, their firearms are difficult to ignite successfully in this weather, riding and shooting to cover, rapid impact, and they must rush out of the valley as soon as possible."
"Chirp"
As soon as Dodor's order was delivered, the gale suddenly stopped, the sand and dust quickly disappeared, and the scene in the valley gradually became clear.
The mountain is not high, the valley is still relatively flat, and on a platform at the upper wind of the valley, there are about two hundred cavalry standing at this time, and the war horses are still dragging branches.
Seeing these war horses and dragging branches, Duoduo could already think of what was going on with such a large amount of sand.
It turned out that these people actually used artificial sand and dust to destroy Wu Sangui Guanning Tieqi.
What is the way for the opposing coach to think of such a method, Duoduo almost vomited blood.
When a large number of centaurs suddenly appeared on the hillside, Duoduo was shocked again, and his back was immediately soaked with sweat.
The other side not only has artillery, but also has an absolute advantage in numbers, not five hundred.
Look at those black-clothed and black-armored cavalry, they are even more majestic than the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture.
In order to preserve the living force of the Yellow Flag, Duoduo had no choice but to abandon the two Niu Lu and prepare to quickly withdraw from the valley.
"Quickly retreat, after the two Niu Lu were broken, the other Niu Lu quickly rushed to the front car camp."
"Chirp"
Seeing that the Eastern Cavalry quickly got out of the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, Qi Jiguang was also a little helpless at this time.
I wanted to take advantage of the wind and sand to completely annihilate Duoduo with yellow flags, but God suddenly played a big joke with him, and the wind actually stopped.
He turned back to Li Cunxiao and said:
"General Li, I originally wanted the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to have a good rest with you, but now it seems that you still have to prepare for battle, and as soon as the cannon stops, all the cavalry will immediately charge."
"Don't worry, for the sake of the emperor and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Li doesn't know what hard work is."
After the two Niu Lu were cut off, the other Niu Lu immediately launched a charge at the front car battalion, and they turned into a shock and released arrows.
The arrows didn't do much damage to the camp, and they could all dodge behind the car.
The commander of the chariot battalion held the signal flag in his hand, hid behind the chariot, and stared closely at the Eastern Cavalry from the gap.
When he saw the Eastern Route cavalry enter the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, he waved the flag in his hand, and suddenly the fifty Tiger Squat Cannons began to roar.
"Boom ......"
The cavalry running in front were bombarded by the tiger squat and fell off their horses, and the cavalry behind quickly hid themselves under the belly of the war horse to avoid the bombardment.
In this way, if the war horses are not killed, they will not be harmed much.
I have to say that the horsemanship and combat quality of the Eastern Cavalry are far above the Ming Cavalry.
"Hit, bombard me hard, aim at the warhorse."
The commander of the Qi family army was also taken aback, he had never seen this kind of fighting, the rhythm of the death squad.
"Boom ......"
Flowering bullets and buckshot were mixed bombardment, although the horses of the Eastern Cavalry kept falling.
But compared to humans, the horses are obviously more resistant to artillery fire, and as long as they don't smash their heads or break their legs, they still continue to rush forward.
The Tiger Squat Cannon is a large-area coverage and damage, all of which are scattered bullets, and it is impossible to aim at a certain part like a flintlock gun.
In this way, there was a chance for the Eastern Cavalry to storm over.
Soon, some fish slipped through the net, rushed out of the bombardment range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, and quickly approached the Che Ying.
"When the flintlock pistol is prepared, labor and management don't believe that they can't be killed."
The speed of the impact of the Eastern Cavalry somewhat surprised the commander of the car battalion.
But he is also a battle-hardened veteran, and although he is surprised, he is not alarmed.
Estimating that the cavalry had come within range of the flintlock pistol, the flag waved again:
"Shoot, kill all these dog thieves."
