Chapter 224: The veteran is expensive, the veteran is not dead!

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was such that the Ming army had already crossed the turning point of the road for several miles.

Because the Tartars had realized the disadvantages of the road turn to them, they naturally refused to advance, and the Ming army could only take the initiative to attack and cross the turning point, and the resulting consequence was that they could only kill the enemy with their true skills.

But because of this, the casualties of the Ming army were rapidly expanding.

But with the arrival of Tartar reinforcements, the Ming army's defense line began to loosen, and the loosening of the cavalry line was more exaggerated than the infantry, and its retreat was not counted in steps, but in zhang.

Wu Zheng, Qian Qiaogong, and Qian Sudian's uncle and nephew were coerced by the retreating cavalry and retreated.

At this time, even if you want to order to stop it, you can't.

The surge of crowds is not something that a single body can resist.

The distance of several miles was reached in a blink of an eye, and the Ming army retreated to the turning point of the road, still unable to stop the horse's legs.

The cavalry that was stuck with the enemy in the back was completely annihilated by the enemy, and the Tartars took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit of the Ming army again.

The situation on the battlefield once again returned to the meeting between the two sides.

But unlike then, the Ming army had already lost more than half, and it had lost its determination and morale was about to collapse.

As long as the Tartars chase the road and turn the corner, it will be a flat river, and the Ming army will be wiped out in one breath.

At this moment, an army rushed from behind the Ming army.

Wu Shengzhaobu finally arrived in time.

The two armies of Wu Zhengbu and Wu Shengzhao passed by at the turning point, you have me, I have you, the difference is that the infantry in front is the cavalry, and the cavalry in the back.

Wu Zheng even saw the smugness in Wu Shengzhao's eyes, he seemed to be proud, look, I saved you again!

Once again, the turning point of the road has worked.

Perhaps it is God's favor that the terrain advantage of this turning point always exists.

If it weren't for this turn, the Tartar pursuit would have accelerated, but because of this turn, the pursuit of the Tartar cavalry could not accelerate, and it would have rushed out of the cliff too quickly.

Therefore, not only could it not be accelerated, but it also needed to be slowed down before the turn, which gave Wu Shengzhao's infantry the possibility of blocking.

Otherwise, this would be given to Wu Shengzhao more than 3,000 people, and he would not be able to stop the Tartar cavalry charge.

When Wu Shengzhao, with more than 3,000 people, rushed to a turning point and collided head-on with the chasing Tartar cavalry, the scene of men and horses falling off the cliff reappeared again.

Fortunately, this time the speed of the Tartars was not fast, the number of people was not much, and the losses were not serious, but the low-speed cavalry was no longer able to cause a fatal impact on the infantry, and the two sides immediately broke out in hand-to-hand combat, but the moving cavalry, after all, had an innate advantage over the infantry.

Wu Shengzhao's department was lonely, and the situation was still critical.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the Tartar infantry who came at this time finally arrived at the battlefield, but because the road was narrow, they were no longer allowed to move forward to join the war group, and in a hurry, the Tartar infantry quickly reacted and began to climb over the hillside on the side of the road, intending to cross the hillside to outflank Wu Shengzhao's back road and completely annihilate Wu Shengzhao's army.

This hillside is not high, and compared to the official road, the apex is six or seven zhang high, and the slope is not steep.

When people rush to the top, it will only take a pillar of incense at most.

When the thousands of Tartar infantry saw that they had rushed to the peak, a black line suddenly emerged from the peak.

Instantly thickened, then a human head, a horse's head, and then a hideous appearance.

"Cavalry~!"

A terrible cry suddenly rang out.

Countless soldiers who were climbing the hill stared in horror at the cavalry line at the summit, their bodies already uncontrollable, and they froze there like a withered stake.

This upheaval was completely unexpected by the Tartar reinforcements.

Who would have thought that the Ming cavalry would suddenly appear on the hillside?

This cavalry is naturally the remnants of the cavalry led by Wu Zhengsuo.

The sense of shame that passed by was not only felt by Wu Zheng.

Qian Qiaogong and Qian Sudian's uncle and nephew also felt it.

The surviving cavalry officers felt it.

There is no shame in being reinforced by friendly forces.

Being reinforced by Wu Shengzhao, a former rebel and now a deserter, really made everyone suffocated.

If he still needs to run for his life, the soldier may choose to hold this breath back into his stomach, and then turn it into a fart and let it go.

But Wu Shengzhao's troops brazenly blocked the Tartar pursuers.

This made the heartwarming in the hearts of all the soldiers burst out in an instant.

They all stopped the retreating horses' hooves, and then turned around in unison, focusing their eyes on Wu Zheng and Qian Sudian's uncles and nephews who were surrounded in the middle, and the burning battle intent in their eyes gradually became hot.

Wu Zheng finally found an opportunity to give an order, so he ordered, "The whole army goes uphill!" ”

This order is undoubtedly the most correct at this time.

Of course, it's not that Wu Zheng knows everything and is omnipotent.

The inspiration of this order still comes from the first collision between the cavalry of the two sides, and the cavalry of the Ming army was forced to turn to the hillside to resolve the collision.

But even if this is the case, Wu Zheng could not predict that the Tartar reinforcements would also choose to climb the slope.

This is the best gift from God to Wu Zheng, to the soldiers of the Ming army, and to the Ming Dynasty.

So, the previous scene appeared.

The hillside is a bright hillside, and there is not even a decent tree except for the scattered weeds and shrubs.

This is more suitable for cavalry charging down.

Wu Zheng didn't hesitate, drew his knife above his head, and then swung it down.

The five cavalry lines, like a torrent bursting the embankment, suddenly rushed down the slope.

It's hard to describe that kind of scene.

The rapid impact from top to bottom makes the human body fly in the air, and the entire hillside is full of people, and there is almost no need to deliberately choose a target, just drive the horse to rush down, that is a full battle merit that can be drawn at hand.

The Eight Banner Soldiers, the Eight Banners who made the Ming Army frightened, at this moment, like a lost dog, hated his father and mother for not having a few more legs and turned around and rushed to the bottom of the mountain.

This kind of rout directly disrupted the formation of the Tartars who had just climbed the slope and those who had not yet climbed the slope.

As a result, a rout was officially staged.

Seven thousand Tartar reinforcements were rushed by more than 2,000 Ming cavalry, killed and abandoned their armor and fled in all directions.

And the cavalry of the Ming army didn't even pay attention to the stunned Tartars on the spot, but fought separately, chasing the scattered routs.

It was the right choice.

Charging from top to bottom, the most taboo hesitate, regardless of life and death, success or failure, to the end, must not hesitate.

Although the cavalry under Wu Zheng's command was formed less than a year ago, although it had been lost more than half of it after several battles, from this moment on, it finally matured and had the appearance of a veteran.

It is said that the battlefield is the best place to train people, and this sentence is not false at all.

The best training is not as good as the experience on the battlefield, because there are no exercises on the battlefield.

Those who can survive are veterans.

Veterans are expensive, veterans don't die!
