Chapter 1776: Ao Bai died unexpectedly

Qian Qiaogong led the wind and thunder cavalry to assault the oncoming Qing army's bows and crossbows and musketeers.

When the two sides approached Erlidi, the Qing army suddenly shrank to the center, and the personnel were densely packed to the point of being called a flesh wall.

Is the enemy crazy?

This is Qian Qiaogong's first reaction, the cavalry charged, and the infantry did not disperse but contracted, what is this not looking for death?

But Qian Qiaogong immediately reacted, isn't this how the Northern Expeditionary Army meets the enemy?

Single-shot guns do not fire continuously, and it takes time to reload, so only dense can maintain the intensity of fire and at the same time allow for consistent fire.

If at this time, Qian Qiaogong can quickly order a detour to both sides, retreat reflexively, and attack again after readjusting the deployment, then the result of this battle will be more "pleasant".

But Qian Qiaogong wanted to gamble, gambling on the distance of two miles, the Qing army could not stop his cavalry, which showed that Qian Qiaogong was ready to sacrifice part of his troops, and his purpose was also very simple, that is, he could not let Song An and the Ruishi battalion suffer heavy losses due to their late arrival.

The battle began quickly, and the distance of two miles was the time to blink, blink, blink.

Qian Qiaogong soon regretted it, the Qing army's crossbowmen and musketeers fired almost at the same time, the muskets were far away, the bows and crossbows were close, the arrows were like locusts, the arrows were like rain, and the wind and thunder riders almost crashed into the rain of arrows and arrows.

It was a painful lesson, and the cavalry in the front three rows did not even say a word, and fell off their horses, while the cavalry behind them were still ramming into the scythe of death.

At the beginning of a mile of distance, every step is dead.

Fortunately, the Qing army did not have the repeating guns of the Rui Shi battalion after all, and they did not have time to load, and in the second round of shooting, there were only bows and crossbows.

Unlike the musketeers of the Northern Expedition, the Wind Thunder Riders had leather armor on their bodies, which minimized the number of casualties.

By the time the Wind Thunder Cavalry broke through the Qing line, the casualties had soared to more than five hundred.

One photographed, nearly twenty percent of the cavalry was lost, and the other side was infantry, and the casualties were slightly higher than those of the wind and thunder cavalry, and Ao Bai still earned it after all.

The wind and thunder cavalry crashed through the Qing army's front, and Qian Qiaogong made a wise decision at this time, that is, he had reached this point, so he didn't care about it.

As soon as he gave an order, all the members of the Wind and Thunder Cavalry who rushed through the Qing army's front line collided straight with the Qing cavalry who were besieging the Ruishi camp.

However, the Qing cavalry was hedged against the Ruishi battalion in the north and south directions, and the wind and thunder cavalry entered the battlefield from east to west, and they had to turn to divide the troops.

Qian Qiaogong didn't think much about it, and led the whole army to turn southward, the target, the military camp in the Qing army.

At this time, the distance between the two is four or five miles.

When Ao Bai found out about the intention of the wind and thunder cavalry, he was really shocked into a cold sweat, and he quickly ordered the cavalry to return to the north.

However, at this time, the Qing cavalry, who was in the midst of a frantic attack on the Ruishi battalion, wanted to make a sudden turn, which was very difficult, and the distance of four or five miles was too late.

Ao Bai ordered 600 personal cavalry around him to meet the incoming enemy, hoping to withstand it and create time for the northbound cavalry to return to help.

It stands to reason that there is a high probability that the Wind and Thunder Rider can be blocked, in fact, it is indeed blocked, but Ao Bai ignores one point, which is also a crucial point, that is, the Wind Thunder Rider is not a simple cavalry, but a lancer.

Ao Bai knew the lancers, and Qian Qiaogong had formed a spear cavalry for the Qing court, and he had a good record.

But Ao Bai made a mistake at this time and forgot that his biggest command mistake in this battle was that he was too greedy and wanted to eat both, and as a result, the Chinese army camp was empty, and only 600 personal guards cavalry remained.

But I have to say that these 600 guards cavalry still strongly blocked the crazy impact of more than 2,000 cavalry led by Qian Qiaogong, and Qian Qiaogong himself was less than 20 steps away from Aobai's closest, and he could see a fierce expression of horror on Aobai's face.

Ao Bai was superstitious about the combat power of the Manchurians, and this was also reflected on the battlefield, which made him proud.

It's a pity that Ao Bai underestimated the trace of madness in Qian Qiaogong's heart.

Is Qian Qiaogong crazy?

No, Qian Qiaogong is a humble gentleman, he has been strictly educated since he was a child, and he usually can't even scold people, and he is angry, which is the sentence "The Tao is different and does not conspire with each other".

The long-suppressed heart has been gradually changed by the battlefield experience in the past few years.

Especially in the more than two years of the Qing court's "fraudulent surrender", Qian Qiaogong was taken by Shen Zhiyuan.

Drinking is no longer done with a bowl, with a bowl, and sometimes directly with a jar to pour.

Tea is no longer sipped, but cow drink.

This kind of character release made Qian Qiaogong's originally suppressed heart by the tutor like a bomb that would detonate at any time.

In one shot, more than 500 casualties, that kind of violent stimulation made Qian Qiaogong's eyes blood-red, and the all-out attack was blocked, which made him unable to vent.

Therefore, a person like Qian Qiaogong, once triggered, is a bad game, either you die or I die!

Seeing that the northbound Qing cavalry began to turn back, Qian Qiaogong ordered to break through the enemy formation and behead the enemy chief at all costs!

Qian Qiaogong took the lead and rushed to the direction where Ao Bai was.

The cavalry fought head-on, except for the frontal collision between the two sides, in fact, many times it was a guerrilla fight, after all, no one wanted to die unless it was absolutely necessary.

The wind and thunder cavalry was entangled, and the Qing cavalry, who was good at riding tactics, both sides were fighting, you shot me with one arrow, and on the back of a bumpy horse, it was impossible to be accurate, so the casualties on both sides would not be large.

But Qian Qiaogong's order is tantamount to announcing your life-and-death situation, desperate!

The main generals all rushed up, and all the members of the Wind and Thunder Cavalry adjusted their direction violently, and no longer fought with the enemy, but collided straight into it.

After all, there are many people who are close to each other, and those who don't want to die always take advantage.

Even if it is a life worth a life, the wind and thunder ride will take a big advantage.

Qing Qi was caught off guard by such a sudden change, and Aobai, who was onlookers, realized the danger and ordered to resist to the death in time, and pointed to the direction of Qian Qiaogong with the tip of the flag, signaling the guards to concentrate on attacking the enemy's main general.

Both sides have entered the stage of fighting for their lives, which is said slowly, but in fact, it is a moment of effort.

Originally, the distance was close, and he could see Aobai's face clearly, but suddenly sprinted, the Qing army was stunned, and the distance was closer.

Qian Qiaogong, who was at the forefront, was targeted by several Qing soldiers, and he couldn't turn back in time when he knocked down one with a horsetail, but fortunately his personal guards caught up in time, and blocked two knives for Qian Qiaogong with his horse body and his own body.

At this time, the Qing soldiers who were close to Qian Qiaogong began to surround Qian Qiaogong.

Providence, it's not far away, but Aobai is in chaos and can't aim.

But now, Ao Bai instructed to besiege Qian Qiaogong, so that the defensive gap was exposed, I don't know which wind and thunder knight soldier is blessed to the soul, and raising his hand is a gun, this gun, without Ao Bai, hit a guard who suddenly appeared.

But the wind and thunder rider has two guns, one can't be successful, and another gun.

Now, in the middle of the chest.

Ao Bai's eyes were always on Qian Qiaogong, and when this shot hit him, he himself was stunned, staring at the blood flowers blooming on his chest, and then fell down.

But this scene was not discovered, the battle was still continuing, Qian Qiaogong was still besieged, and the northbound Qing cavalry was still coming back.
