The 5,000 cavalry of the Brave Guard Battalion rushed into the chaotic camp like sharp swords, and the cavalry pierced the chest of the Rogues with their spears, and then threw them away, continuing to stab the next target.

Li Shaoyou, the cavalry commander of the Yongwei Battalion, who was at the forefront, even pierced the bodies of two or three rogues with one shot, making them into meat skewers.

In the midst of a miserable howl, the rogues were knocked on their backs, and they kept fleeing, and they could not organize effective resistance at all, compared to the Tartars, these rogues were not even as good as the auxiliary soldiers of the Eight Banners Army.

Among the rogues, it is also similar to the tactics of the Eight Banners Army, the soldiers are divided into five ranks, the hungry soldiers are the outermost, the foot soldiers are second, then the horse army, and then the Xiao cavalry, and the old battalion soldiers are at the rear.

The most combative in the rogue is the old battalion soldiers, they are the leaders of the rogue to rely on, the other branches of the army have been exhausted, it's okay, as long as there are old battalion soldiers, they can easily gather tens of thousands of troops, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have relied on the old battalion soldiers to make a comeback many times, and they have been repeatedly suppressed.

In the open wilderness, the sound of weapons handing over and the terrible howl sounded one after another, and the thick smell of blood became stronger and stronger.

In the eyes of the thieves, these officers and soldiers are heavily armored and heavy horses, and the momentum of rushing up is like a mountain and a sea, how can they resist with their patched cotton jackets?

Soon after the battle began, after the cavalry of the Yongwei battalion broke through the thief formation, they did not stop, continued to rush forward to kill, and then all rushed out.

Tuo Xianling saw that the other party had rushed and regrouped not far away, which made him very curious, why didn't the other party fight? Is this time to give yourself a breather? I don't want to lose face?

It turned out that the king of one word really lost face, he hurriedly ordered to gather the rout army and start arranging the formation, and then he avoided it from a distance.

Tuo Xianling looked back at the officers and cavalry who were gathered together soon, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "Where the hell did the officers and soldiers come from, why are they so elite and gathered so quickly?" ”

Tuo Xianling is also a first-line figure in the Liukou, and he still knows a lot about the officers and soldiers, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty are all armored, and these cavalry in front of him are wearing several heavy armors, and they are all high-headed war horses, which makes him very surprised.

In Tuo Xianling's rebellious career, I don't know how many embroidered pillow soldiers have seen, but the army in front of me feels completely different, with a strong momentum and a murderous aura.

"Could it be that this is the crown prince's centaurs?" Tuo Xianling was suddenly shocked in his heart, and then broke out in a cold sweat, before he arrived in Suzhou, he was touched by others, and he was intercepted, the strength of the other party is far from being able to defeat him.

Just as he was thinking nonsense, the cavalry on the opposite side had already adjusted and attacked again.

Seeing his 30,000 army collapse in an instant, only less than half of the people were slowly gathering, his heart sank suddenly, this group of hungry soldiers went up with the wind, ran against the wind, originally there were horse soldiers and old battalion soldiers behind to supervise the formation, and now the old battalion soldiers are difficult to protect themselves, who still has time to supervise.

Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side rushing again, Tuo Xianling panicked, and he shouted: "Withdraw to the back town!" ”

As he spoke, he took the old battalion soldiers and the horse army and ran away first, leaving only the bewildered infantry.

As an excellent leader of the rebels for many years, Tuo Xianling already has the unique skill of observing qi, and he can judge the combat effectiveness of an army from the morale of the army.

The officers and soldiers in front of them had nothing to fight for, so they could only use the terrain advantage to contain them, and maybe they could defeat the other party.

The cavalry has a very strong field combat ability, and if it is placed in a town full of houses, it will hardly be able to play an advantage, thinking of this, Tuo Xianling ran to the town that had just been looted without saying a word.

After Tuo Xianling led the old battalion soldiers and the horse army to run away, the iron cavalry of the Yongwei battalion began a ruthless charge against the remaining tens of thousands of Liukou foot soldiers, and there was no need to pay attention to skills such as cutting and charging, it was directly a brainless pursuit.

Tens of thousands of rogues fled frantically, and the cavalry of the Yongwei battalion followed them closely, and when they caught up, it was a fierce hammer.

This time it was Sun Yingyuan who led the raid, he was not as direct as Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan liked to pay attention to skills, he ordered to withdraw every few charges, rest for a while, wait for the other party to run farther away, and then get on the horse and continue to chase and continue to cut.

Along the way, before they reached the town they had looted before, the Liukou had already collapsed, some of them chose to kneel and surrender, some of the remnants of the army continued to flee, and Sun Yingyuan led the army to continue the pursuit.

"Haha! What a pleasure! Li Shaoyou, the commander of the cavalry, laughed.

Since he joined the cavalry battalion of the Brave Guard Battalion, he had never fought such a smooth battle, and he didn't feel that it was a war at all, more figuratively like he was chasing ducks.

The rogues were defeated all the way to the town, and they hid in the houses of the town, and everyone gasped for breath and did not dare to look out.

Looking at the subordinates who were chased all the way and almost went crazy, Tuo Xianling's face was solemn, and he sighed in his heart, this is a tough battle!

Subsequently, he ordered to organize street battles in the town, but the rout he could organize was less than 10,000 people, and the rest were either killed by the officers and soldiers, or they had long since disappeared in other directions, perhaps throwing their weapons and changing their clothes and burrowing into the fleeing people.

Although there are only these, Tuo Xianling is very confident, the streets of the town are so wide, the cavalry advantage cannot be exerted, under the strong bows and crossbows of his old battalion soldiers, the cavalry of the official army can only rush in and die.

In any case, he will not lose, so Tuo Xianling has set up positions at various intersections and is ready to start meeting the enemy.

However, he was too simple.

In front of the town, Sun Yingyuan, who was riding a horse, said coldly: "Attack, kill the thieves!" ”

"Yes!" Li Shaoyou clenched his fists and led his headquarters to gallop into the town, they maintained the momentum of six horses and one column, rolling on the streets, and other departments also entered the town from other streets.

The streets of the town are not as regular as those in the city, paved with bluestone, the width is limited, the houses here are very loose, the streets are still dirt roads, very spacious, enough for six or seven horsemen to advance at the same time.

At each intersection, there were old battalion soldiers holding crossbow arrow handles, as well as a large number of rogue archers, while other rogue soldiers were hiding in nearby houses, waiting for the officers and soldiers to collapse and rush to kill in one fell swoop, they were all nervously waiting for the arrival of the officers and soldiers, wanting to give them a head-on attack.

Seeing the rolling cavalry, Tuo Xianling's eyes lit up, his right hand stretched out, and he was about to wait for the other party to rush close before ordering the arrows, but what made him depressed was that those cavalry stopped one hundred and five steps away.

Li Shaoyou made a stop gesture, and after carefully observing the other party for a while, he said coldly: "Get off the horse and take the musket!" ”

The cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, removed their muskets from their horses, and divided into several rows.......

Seeing the officers and soldiers holding firearms, the thieves began to commotion, after all, everyone knows that this thing is extremely lethal, and if it is beaten, then the rest of the life will not be happy.

Qi Jiguang once said in "Ji Xiao's New Book": The bird can be used to make hole armor, shoot can hit, and the bow and arrow can also be reached.

The Qi family army fights, the bird shoots in a hundred steps, seventy or eighty steps can penetrate the heavy armor, and the bow and arrow shoot after sixty steps, and the power of the bow and arrow, whether in range or hit, or killing, is far inferior to the bird.

The power of the gun depends on the muzzle velocity and chamber pressure, the chamber pressure produced by the carton gunpowder is greater than the previous particle gunpowder, if you want to compare the bird gun used by the Qi family army fifty years ago, the performance of the self-generated Lumi gun used by the Yongwei battalion is not much stronger.

Tuo Xianling saw that his face was frightened, and hurriedly cheered up: "As for the burning stick of the officers and soldiers, it can't hit the fire at all, maybe it will be killed by himself, the brothers are rushing over now, close to the arrows, and kill the officers and soldiers!" ”

"Kill the officers and soldiers!" The thieves screamed and rushed forward, trying to scare the officers and soldiers into fearing delays in reloading.
