The sound of gunshots, shouts of killing, the clashing of metal, and the roar of gunpowder explosion resounded in a ball on the small plain between Fushui and Hanshui!

Thirty thousands, thousands of heavily armed soldiers, are shooting at each other with muskets, lunging at each other with spears, and throwing at each other with javelins tied to grenades. Oh, and round after round cavalry assault!

The 1,500 armored cavalry commanded by Shang Zhixin was undoubtedly Shang Kexi's trump card, and the first wave of impact they launched crushed the battalion-level phalanx of the two Dashun armies.

The infantry battalions of the Dashun army have always had the problem of weak anti-cavalry ability, there are more sword and shield bearers among them, and there are fewer pikemen, while the musketeers are equipped with bayonets, but the musketeers of Dashun are all government soldiers, and they prefer to use waist knives rather than arquebuses with bayonets inserted in hand-to-hand combat...... Because they are more confident in their knife skills!

In addition, because there was an 80-man pikemen, the musket team and the sword team of the infantry battalion of the Dashun army were also accustomed to handing over the task of defending the cavalry to the pikemen, so there was often confusion in scheduling when approaching the battle......

The combination of various factors made the heavy cavalry of the Ming army play to break the infantry phalanx of the Dashun army from the front.

When Shang Zhixin ended the first wave of shock and led the cavalry to retreat as a whole, the 12 infantry battalions in the rear also launched an attack under Shang Kexi's command.

The infantry battalions under Shang Kexi's command were all so-called "mountain battalions", similar to the infantry battalions of the Dashun army, with reduced pikemen and a large number of sword and shield soldiers. Although such an organization is conducive to mountain warfare, it is not sufficient to resist cavalry on the plains.

Moreover, the firepower of this mountain battalion was not comparable to that of a large number of guards armed with flintlock pistols (three-quarters of the soldiers were equipped with flintlock pistols).

However, now both sides have similar equipment and tactics, and they are evenly matched. The musketeers on both sides fired at each other thirty or forty paces apart, and the accuracy was not very good, but the smoke in front of the two armies was quite large, and it was soon a little difficult to see.

Under the cover of gunsmoke, the sword and shield soldiers on both sides launched a charge almost simultaneously, first throwing "explosive javelins" at each other, and then hand-to-hand combat between swords and shields......

The left flank of the Dashun army also quickly moved and outflanked the right flank of Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun. However, they were infantry, and their speed of action was not as fast as that of the cavalry, and before they could move in place, Kong Tingxun, who commanded from a high place, immediately mobilized 8 infantry battalions to go up and temporarily resisted the outflanking Dashun army.

At the same time, Kong Tingxun also drew out 6 infantry battalions to cover Shang Zhixin's cavalry - the specific method was to press on it and shoot at the enemy with arquebuses, create smoke on the battlefield, and then use the smoke to cover the cavalry to attack again.

As long as the right flank of the Dashun army can be crushed, the victory of today's decisive battle will be in hand...... At least in Kong Tingxun's opinion, the situation is so optimistic!

At this moment, Kong Tingxun suddenly heard one of his own personal soldiers shouting: "Chief soldier! The Rogue's Cavalry...... There are cavalry! ”

How fresh! Of course, the rogues have cavalry, but how can they flow without cavalry?

Kong Tingxun stretched his neck and touched it on the battlefield, but he didn't see the cavalry! Where is it?

"On the other side of the river, there are so many cavalry!"

Across the river? Han water? Frustrated?

Kong Tingxun was stunned for a moment, quickly raised the binoculars, and then turned his head to look, and when he saw it, he almost fell off the horse. For he saw that the cavalry of the brigade was driving out of a large woods on the other side of the water, and the number was probably not less than 1,000!

Of course, there was nothing to fear about the 1,000 cavalry of the Dashun Army, but Kong Tingxun saw through the telescope the ears of the war horses under the crotches of those cavalrymen, all of which rolled inward.

This is Tianzhu Folded Ear Horse! Why does the Dashun army have so many folded horses...... That's right! Only then did Kong Tingxun remember, didn't Liukou go to Tianzhu once last year? It was the home of the Folded Ear Horse, and it was not strange to bring one or two thousand horses back.

And 1,000 knights riding Tianzhu folded ears horses and 1,000 knights riding bantam horses are not the same thing at all!

Now a full 1,000 plate knights riding Tianzhu folded ears are coming to the slope of the hill where Kong Tingxun is located, and they are about to wade through the water.

The frustration water is not Han water, not too deep, not too wide, and now it is the bitter water season, so it can be waded through.

Moreover, the woods where this cavalry lurked were located directly east of Kong Tingxun's main formation, less than five miles away from him, and once they waded through the water, they would immediately rush to Kong Tingxun.

"General, general, rogue brigade infantry! Follow their cavalry......" the soldier shouted again.

What the? And a brigade of infantry!?

Kong Tingxun hurriedly used the binoculars to look again, and when he saw it, he gasped!

The tide-like Dashun infantry is swarming out of the numbers, at least tens of thousands! If this rushes through the frustration, then it's all over.

"Hurry up, follow me, we have to stop the rogues, we can't let them get too depressed!"

"Can't stand it...... They also have cannons! ”

The cannons were also pulled out, Dutch-made 6-pounder bronze cannons, and one by one they were dragged out of the woods by dwarf horses.

Seeing these cannons, Kong Tingxun knew that the general trend had gone. However, he still took the three battalions down the mountain and wanted to go to the edge of the water to set up defenses. But the frustration is quite long, and the side of Kong Tingxun is also crooked for seven or eight miles, how can the three battalions hold it? Dashun's cavalry was not blind, and when they saw them arranging defenses, they bypassed it from a distance, and chose a shoal far away from Kong Tingxun's headquarters and began to wade.

And at this time, the Ming army, which was fighting fiercely with the Dashun army in front, also found out that something was wrong, and there was going to be a fire in the back!

The originally dominant battle situation was suddenly reversed, and the panicked officers and soldiers could no longer maintain their formation, and began to retreat to the northern hillside in a chaotic manner. And the Dashun army in front of them also took the opportunity to turn to the counteroffensive, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the whole line was pressed up.

Seeing that the signs were wrong, Kong Tingxun didn't dare to resist any longer, and he couldn't resist either, so he had to take a few battalions of infantry that were still intact and ran towards the mountain pass that retreated to Luoyang.

And when he ran, Shang Kexi's back was completely empty.

The 1,000 Dashun cavalry who had just waded through the frustrated water only formed a little and began to charge behind Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin.

It was a textbook heavy cavalry assault – the cavalry went around behind enemy lines and charged at the enemy's back!

The first to collapse were the infantry battalions that covered Shang Zhixin's cavalry charge, they were the closest to the Liukou cavalry who had crossed the frustrated water, and they were rushed before they had time to react!

Leading the attack was Li Dingguo's second son, Li Sixing, who was ordered to form an elite cavalry equipped with folded horses as early as last winter.

The formation of cavalry is not a difficult task for Dashun, who resolutely implements the government military system, and most of the second generation of middle- and upper-class government soldiers have good riding skills, but the problem is that there are no good horses.

Now with the more than 1,000 folded ears that Li Jicheng brought back from India, it is certainly not difficult to establish an elite cavalry corps.

And these 1,000 iron horses have become the trump card in Li Dingguo's hands!

After crushing several infantry battalions of the Ming army, Li Sixing did not entangle with the scattered Ming army, but rushed straight to Shang Zhixin, who was about to flee by the road.

With just a charge, Shang Zhixin's cavalry was scattered, and Shang Dagongzi, who was still majestic just now, also died in the chaos and became a loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty!

Li Sixing's next target is Shang Kexi, who escaped from the road, Shang Kexi is tall, riding a good horse, and under the heavy protection of his own soldiers, the goal is obvious! Chased by more than 1,000 Dashun iron cavalry, where is there a way to live, soon fell into a heavy encirclement, rushed left and right a few times, and collided with a Dashun cavalry, rolled off the horse, fell into a golden star, before he could calm down, was trampled by a few galloping war horses into the Ming Dynasty!

This time, Shang Kexi has more loyal martyrs, plus those who were martyred before, they are really full of loyal martyrs!
