Chapter 314: Killing the Enemy Personally (Adding a Lever to the Helmsman)
After a round of fire between hot and cold weapons, people on both sides continued to fall off their horses.
The Yongwei battalion was well-armored and able to resist feathered arrows, but the side defenses of the horses were weak, and some of the warhorses shot by the feathered arrows suffered pain, and the cavalry was overturned under the horses.
However, the casualty gap between the two is self-evident, where the Yongwei battalion passed, the Qing cavalry on both wings kept falling, and some blind Qing infantry troops in front stepped forward to intercept, and were instantly submerged in the cavalry, or were killed or trampled to death.
Iron hooves trampled on the dry land, the roar of the convergence of a piece, the momentum of the Yongwei battalion was like a rainbow, all the way from the beginning to the end, seeing that no one dared to stop the infantry of the Eight Banners Army along the way, and the tried-and-true cavalry flank harassment did not have any effect, and the Qing infantry behind had already run far away, and did not dare to approach again.
Seeing the white flag of the overseer team coming forward, Babuhai did not dare to hesitate, and asked the more than 3,000 cavalry troops under his command to attack.
It's just that the iron cavalry of the Ming army is rampage, like a moving mountain, and the cavalry is arranged quite compactly, how can this be fought? Are you going to rush up and collide with your horses?
War horses are the lifeblood of the Manchurian soldiers, who wants to let their war horses collide with each other? It's too much of a loss to fight like that.
The tide of cavalry of the brave guard battalion surged, Xu Sheng urged the horse to speed past Zhu Cihong, he held up his silver hammer, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!"
The two thousand iron horsemen behind him also shouted hoarsely, a spear and saber were erected, and they also crossed Zhu Cihong one after another, blocking Zhu Cihong behind.
In the face of the overwhelming momentum of the Yongwei battalion, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army finally changed color, and the pride of the previous Zhujing Temple disappeared, and some people even prepared to ride horses to escape.
In a burst of shouts of killing, the two cavalry finally collided together, accompanied by the crisp collision of weapons, the dull sound of falling horses, and the red blood mist and flesh fragments flew up.
In the earth-shattering sound of killing, the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion pushed all the way horizontally, drowning the loose Eight Banner Army, and in a burst of people turning over their horses, countless people were trampled to death.
The cavalry of this era mostly focused on individual bravery, requiring strong riding skills and individual combat ability, but the formation was scattered during the battle, and the overall power could not be effectively exerted.
The cavalry of the Tianwu Army is just the opposite, focusing on the discipline and overall strength of the cavalry, even if the riding skills are slightly lacking compared to the Qing army, they can also defeat the Qing soldiers who are outstanding in riding skills and force.
Historically, the quality of the French cavalry and horses was very average, and it can be said that they were not good at horsemanship, but Napoleon's cavalry army repeatedly defeated the brave and good Mamluk cavalry, and won more with less.
The Mamluk soldiers were a minority in Egypt who were bought from Georgia and the Caucasus as a child and received strict riding training.
In the Battle of Ain Jalu, the invincible Mongol cavalry fought with the Mamluk cavalry in the Ain Jalu plain of Syria, and finally suffered a heavy defeat, the commander died timidly, and more than 20,000 Mongol cavalry were annihilated, so that the Mongol army failed to capture Jerusalem and failed to advance into Africa.
From the time of the Crusades until the Napoleonic Wars, the Mamluk cavalry has always been a feared army, why was it beaten in front of the Napoleonic cavalry called Dad?
The reason for this is that Napoleon's cavalry was formally trained and disciplined, and was able to maintain a tight formation in battle, and when charged, the torrent of thousands of miles was unstoppable.
Although the Mamluk cavalry, which was not monolithic, had absolute superiority in horsemanship and swordsmanship, and was first-class in individual combat, they were scattered, uncoordinated, and undisciplined.
When the two armies intersected, the Mamluk cavalry could not withstand the onslaught of Napoleon's cavalry corps at all, and the advantage of individual combat turned into a disadvantage in the overall contest.
The advantage of the Eight Banners Army is a salvo, how dare it collide with such a ferocious collision with the Yongwei Battalion, and suffer a big loss as soon as it comes into contact, and I don't know how to deal with it.
"Death!"
Xu Sheng held a silver hammer, and with the help of high-speed horsepower, he directly hit an oncoming Niu Lu Zhang Jing with a hammer and burst his head, and sprinkled him with red and white.
Xu Sheng rode away and went straight to the Babu Sea, which was more dazzling under the flag.
Babuhai didn't admit it, and he also rode a horse to kill Xu Sheng, in his eyes, this Ming general was dressed fancy and was still in the front row, he should be a big official, and he could match his identity.
Babu Hai shouted: "Come and sign up!" ”
Xu Sheng was taken aback, and secretly said that this Tartar general has seen too much "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he still wants to come to a heads-up show?
He shouted: "Lao Tzu Xu Sheng! Who the fuck are you? ”
Babuhai was overjoyed and said, "It turned out to be Da Zhuang, the tiger minister of Jiangbiao!" I am the eleventh son of Taizu, and I love Xinjue Luo Babuhai! ”
"Fuck you!" Xu Sheng scolded in a low voice, this old boy actually regarded him as Xu Sheng in the Three Kingdoms.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Eastern Wu general Xu Sheng was scared off the Wei army, brave and meritorious, and won Sun Quan's "Great Zhuang" Historical record "Quan Da Zhuang", only Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng won this honor during the Three Kingdoms period, and Xu Sheng was praised by Chen Shousheng as "the tiger minister of Jiangbiao".
"Come on, Da Zhuang!" Babuhai shouted and rushed towards Xu Sheng excitedly.
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows, although he had never heard the name of this product, but he was also the brother of Huang Taiji, maybe it was also a web page, if he could hammer this guy to death, he might be able to make a great contribution.
While thinking, Xu Sheng urged the horse violently, the two horses roared and staggered, the silver hammer and the war knife were intertwined, and the sparks splashed everywhere.
Babuhai only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the war knife almost flew out of his hand, and he immediately bared his teeth and grinned, and he didn't look back to urge the horse to run, and he politely shouted: "There will be a period later!" ”
"Bag!" Xu Sheng snorted coldly, did not pursue, and killed the Tartar cavalry around Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong held the golden gun in his hand, and saw that a Niu Lu Zhang Jing went up and stabbed it with a shot, only to feel that the iron armor on the other party's body was so hard and unbearable, Rao is that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he could only pierce through two layers of armor.
The Niu Lu Zhangjing was in pain and almost fell off the horse, he roared loudly, and looked very irritable.
"Hey, you didn't stab you to death?" Zhu Cihong was stunned, and just wanted to stab him again, only to see this Lord Zhang Jing glaring at him angrily.
Niu Lu Zhangjing looked at the other party's cool golden armor, and felt unusual, maybe it was the prince of the Ming Kingdom, his face was suddenly overjoyed, and he wanted to rush up and kill Zhu Cihong, but he didn't expect that his eyes were blurred all of a sudden, and it gradually darkened.......
Zhu Cihong took out a rotating musket on the spot and gave him a shot, afraid that he would make up for it with a thick skin, so he sighed: "It's still good to ...... this gun."
.......
The two armies were strangled together, and the sound of people screaming and screaming was chilling, and there were severed heads and severed limbs everywhere.
The Yongwei battalion came like a tide, and the Qing cavalry retreated, and they felt that this group of Ming troops was completely insane and unwilling to fight against them.
The Yongwei battalion was like a bamboo, rushing to the end from the beginning, directly scattering the cavalry of the Qing army, and the surrounding Qing army infantry surrounded them, but tragically found that they could not be surrounded at all, and the Yongwei battalion was fully cavalry, and the infantry wanted to besiege the cavalry, and it was necessary to have two long legs.
Dolgon, who was outside the battlefield, looked at the situation in the field coldly and did not say a word.
The Qing general beside him, Arzin, said: "Prince Rui, why don't you let my elite cavalry with the white flag defeat them?" ”
Dolgon didn't reply to him, but said coldly, "Give the order to retreat." ”
Arzin was speechless, so he had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
On the war horse, Dolgon turned his head, looked hatefully at the Yongwei battalion that was still chasing and killing the rear army of the Qing army, and said to himself: "If the elite of the white flag is really here, how can I let it be arrogant!" ”
With that, Dorgon quickened his retreat and headed for Tongzhou.
The sound of the rapid Ming Jin Retreat sounded, the Qing army did not hesitate, did not dare to do any more stop, and ran one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the tide of brave guards rushed to kill and drown this area, and the guy who ran slowly soon became a ghost under the knife.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Seeing the retreat of the Qing army, there were enthusiastic cheers on the city wall, and everyone was extremely excited, and they were fortunate to witness this exciting counterattack.
Not only exciting, more shocking, everyone on the Yongwei battalion's combat effectiveness is incredible, in the past, the Ming army will see the Eight Banners will be a little weaker, and even retreat without a fight, for a long time, the Ming army around the country is afraid of the tiger, it is the Yongwei battalion that allows them to find self-confidence.
Xue Guoguan said excitedly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu, His Royal Highness the Prince's bravery, our army defeated the slave thieves with fewer victories and more victories, today's battle proves that my Ming army is no worse than the Eight Banners of Jiannu, and it has the power to fight!" ”
Chongzhen's face flushed a little, and he nodded heavily.
