Chapter 82: Confrontation (II)

The spear stabbed straight ahead, and the rattan shield tried its best to block it, and even the sergeant with the red armor behind the shield also restrained the sharp edge of the moment, trying to block the blow with all his might. The blade of the spear was pressed against the shield, and no inch could be entered, and a red-clad soldier near the left tried to chop the barrel of the gun, but was immediately stopped by another lancet......

On the battlefield, the Ming army's battle array has been formed for many years and has long been mature. The soldiers practice every day, in groups of three, and they are also very tacit. On the other hand, the Qing army had never seen such tactics before, and as soon as the battle began, they were immediately caught off guard. It's just that the Ganshan Green Battalion was originally the most elite border army of the Ming Dynasty, entering the Qing Dynasty, after years of war, the combat power of each department has indeed increased, but on the whole, the Ganshan Green Battalion is the strongest, and Hong Chengchou formed the Southwest Economic Standard for thousands of selections.

With such an elite, the disadvantage of the first battle did not last long, and with years of confrontation with the Monan, the Liukou, and the Ming army, they soon regained their rhythm. Groups of Qing troops with various blades launched an attack on the Ming army, and the momentum was not inferior. Even if rich experience and superb combat skills are still a little inferior under the tacit cooperation, it is still better than blindly being beaten passively.

Moreover, as time goes by, these green battalion soldiers who have been eating in a pot for many years have gradually found their own tacit understanding, and the more fierce the battle, the smaller the gap between the two sides.

All this, through the lens of the telescope, was presented in Chen Kai's eyes. Originally, the war of attrition was unfavorable for the Ming army, because the strength of the Ming army was much less than that of the Qing army, and the gap of more than 2,000 people in the situation of the Ming army must be more fierce to attack to achieve the breakthrough of the Qing army's battle array.

War is never child's play, and even the slightest disturbance can lead to the reversal of a war of hundreds of thousands of people. For Chen Kai, the Ming army's killing of the Qing army during this period, to be precise, the exchange ratio between the two sides does not seem to be able to reverse the disadvantage of the Ming army during the period when the Ming army has the greatest advantage. Then, the result is likely to evolve into the Ming army trying its best to create a mutation in exchange for the opportunity to break the Qing army, and the mutation is a double-edged sword, which can not only hurt the enemy, but also may hurt itself.

The tenacity of the Qing army undoubtedly exceeded Chen Kai's expectations, and if you look closely, he is still waiting for the best time to release the winner. For this reason, while admonishing himself in his heart, he also sent a herald to warn Lin Dezhong. Even though, he has always known that Lin Dezhong is not a person who is in a hurry.

The fighting continued, and after a while, there seemed to be movement behind the Qing army. The sound of fighting on the battlefield had drowned out all the sounds around him, and if it weren't for the fact that he was on the dirt slope behind the battle, with a bit of a condescending advantage, Chen Kai would never be able to pay attention to what kind of demons would be hidden under the anger and fear of the swords and guns.

"Remind Li Jianjie that the cavalry of the Tartars has moved, let him deal with it as appropriate."

This, in fact, there is no need for Chen Kai to remind Li Jianjie, the latter is a cavalry general, and he has also brought cavalry over the years, at the beginning of the battle, he has always been paying attention to the movements of the Qing cavalry, especially the right shrimp battalion, please show in the newspaper that it is Hong Chengchou's personal team, and the captain Wang Fuchen, who led the team, is nicknamed Ma Harrier, and is a well-known and brave cavalry general in the north, which naturally aroused his fighting spirit.

Cross talk has the basic skills of talking and singing, and traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to a look, hear, and ask, as a rider, it is not as simple as fighting immediately, and the ability to watch the wind and hope has always been a basic quality. Li Jianjie's ability was taught by Li Chengdong back then, and when he was behind his own phalanx, he could estimate how many cavalry the Qing army had dispatched when he saw the smoke and dust stirred up behind the Qing army's formation.

"I was in such a hurry to transfer the main cavalry out."

The infantry of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties fought in formation, and the battle was in full swing, and at this time the cavalry of the Qing army was dispatched, apparently to launch an attack on the infantry of the Ming army from the side.

This is a sure thing, during this time, Li Jianjie observed the direction, scale and movement of the smoke and dust, and the order was conveyed, and the cavalry of Hussar Town got on their horses one after another, and some even took out a handful of salt-fried powdered pasta from the bag tied to the saddle and put it in front of the mouth of the beloved horse, and let it lick greedily. A moment later, Li Jianjie gave an order, and the Ming army moved from the right flank to face the iron hooves of the Qing army on the edge of the confrontation between the two armies.

The right flank of the Ming army was a large flat terrain, which was different from the left flank, which was about two miles away, and the cavalry could better attack here. The Qing cavalry of the brigade appeared from behind the formation, and when the mouth was like boiling water sprinkled on the cold days of Liaodong, it was scattered at the same time, while steaming hot, it quickly turned into drops of ice spikes, and swept towards the flank of the Ming army.

When the cavalry of the Qing army pounced on the flank of the Ming army, the result can be imagined. At this time, the hussar town also came out from the flank of the Ming army, but it rushed directly to the cavalry of the Qing army.

It is extremely threatening for an infantry to be flanked by a cavalry, and similarly, when a cavalry is flanked by another cavalry, whether it is a halt cut off or a tail-end pursuit, it is extremely difficult to get rid of the passive attack.

Wang Fuchen, who led the team, was the most dazzling cavalry general under the command of Jiang Ping, the general of Datong, and even the children of the Eight Banners respected him. Seeing Li Jianjie here, he did not hesitate to change the direction of the attack. In this way, the two cavalry armies collided directly in a large flat area on the west side of the battlefield!

The scattered cavalry rushed towards the surging in front of them like waves, and the two huge waves slapped heavily on each other's bodies, even splashing a thousand layers of waves.

The waves, blood-colored and corpse-colored, filled with passion and pain, splashed up and swirled back into the waves. And the huge wave is just the outline at first glance, looking down, the collision seems to have knocked both sides to pieces, and the cavalry of the Ming and Qing armies, which were originally clearly rushing towards each other, have been broken into several pieces, and they are scattered and gathered on the battlefield again, and they pounce on the opponent again.

After the collision just now, many of the cavalry of the two armies had lost their horsepower, and the two sides entered a melee. Especially in the center of this sub-battlefield, because the two sides invested the most troops here at the beginning, when the collision is over, the melee here is also the most complicated.

On the periphery of the central melee area, Li Jianjie led a cavalry of the Ming army to hunt down a more numerous Qing cavalry team. However, after the collision of Fang Cai, Li Jianjie had already hung their tails, followed closely behind, and continued to slash and kill the lonely, and by the way, wiped out the lone Qing army along the way.

A moment before the collision broke out, Li Jianjie had roughly estimated that it seemed that the Ming army still had a slight advantage in the number of cavalry. Such an advantage needs to be carefully cultivated to turn into victory, so he tried his best to organize the cavalry of his headquarters and cut down every Qing army, so as to continuously weaken the strength of the Qing army.

The battle of nearly 3,000 horsemen broke out, and every moment there would be all kinds of flashes and movements, all kinds of desperate fights, and the cavalry of the two armies continued to fall from their horses, some of them were already dead in the moment before they fell, and some were just falling, but they were immediately trampled into flesh by the horses behind. Li Jianjie pursued the Qing cavalry with more than 300 rounds, and weakened the cavalry strength of the Qing army in the central melee circle. Although the battle was chaotic, it was unusually clear in the eyes of experienced cavalry commanders. With years of experience, he seized every fleeting opportunity.

Li Jianjie insisted on this, in order to strive for the Ming army to gain an overwhelming advantage as soon as possible here, and then sweep the entire battlefield. Because he knew very well that the key to victory or defeat in a cavalry battle of this magnitude was which side could gather more strength to swallow more opponents faster, and thus gather more strength to threaten the opponent's flank.

The prey hunted by Li Jianjie is constantly shrinking, and the proportion of the Ming army in the center of the melee circle is also expanding. This is a very good trend, and Li Jianjie is also preparing to continue to amplify this advantage. However, in a blink of an eye, near the east side of the confrontation between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, there seems to be a Qing army under the leadership of a certain fierce general who is constantly chasing and attacking the Ming cavalry in that area, and the progress does not seem to be slower than him at all.

Seeing this, Li Jianjie did not hesitate, immediately turned his horse's head and rushed straight to the area, and the cavalry under his command also followed, and did not hesitate to abandon the group of prey that was about to collapse.

Near a vast area of the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, Wang Fuchen led a large group of Qing troops to constantly chase the cavalry of the Ming army. This was not his intention, and after the first wave of impact, he led this group of cavalry into the area. His aim was to gather more Qing cavalry to storm the Ming flank, which was an order given to him by Daniel Zhang, and he knew better that the key to this battle was which of the two armies in formation collapsed first, rather than that he cut more Ming cavalry in cavalry.

However, such an intention was to require him to lead the cavalry to gain a large enough advantage here, so as to achieve a sufficient threat to the Ming army's battle formation, which had already shown a tight position on the flank. That's what he's doing right now.

The cavalry spear stabbed and swung in his hand as if he were alive, and each attack would take the life of a Ming cavalryman. Wang Fuchen seems to have regained the courage of facing the Eight Banners Army in Shanxi, but there is one thing that is different, that is, he is already a former opponent here.

In this regard, Wang Fuchen did not feel the slightest discomfort, his current nickname is Ma Harrier, but he was once called a living Lu Bu. This is not only a compliment to his martial arts, but also a metaphor for his appearance, and an interpretation of his temperament. When he followed Jiang Ping, he was favored, and now he is following the Qing court, and he is also valued by the banner people because of his martial bravery, even the current Hong Chengchou also admires him, and he naturally has to fight to the death for the future.

Wang Fuchen was already doing his best, but a battle of this scale was not as simple as when he was just a cavalry general. The advantage here was indeed skewed towards the Qing army, but soon, he noticed that in the center of the melee circle, a cavalry was pulling over and heading straight for his cavalry.

Without hesitation, Wang Fuchen immediately put down the fat in his mouth, turned the horse's head and pounced directly. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides in an instant, and the cavalry spears, sabers, and even more outrageous weapons brought out waves woven with blood and life in the impact.

Seeing the Ming cavalry general who led the team, Wang Fuchen shouted loudly, and stabbed straight away with his spear, and he was a thunderbolt. However, while the tip of the spear expanded sharply in front of him, Li Jianjie, who had already faced each other, moved his waist, and an iron plate bridge gave way to this fatal blow, and then lay on the saddle bridge, and the horse spear on the saddle bridge stabbed out.

The two horses were staggered, but between breaths, Li Jianjie's mounted spear stabbed out obliquely, aiming at Wang Fuchen's waist.

It is said that the thicker and greener the membrane, the greater the waist strength of the person, so to describe the fierce general, there is always a word called the strength of the body, which refers to this. The cavalry sits on a war horse, and the waist and abdomen are the most difficult to attack, but also the most difficult part to dodge. During this time, Li Jianjie stabbed Wang Fuchen's back obliquely, just to attack this most difficult part. However, the diagonal stab was made, and the latter seemed to have an eye in the back of his head, and without hesitation, he hid in a stirrup and hid his body behind the side of the war horse, and Li Jianjie's stab was also directly pounced.

"What a dog tartar!"

"What a thief!"

The war horse opened the distance, and the two looked back and saw that each other was gritting their teeth with hatred. Immediately afterwards, the two of them didn't care about anything else, and rushed directly to each other with their spears, and they swore not to give up if they didn't pick the opponent off their horses......

The horses' hooves trampled and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the movement of less than 3,000 cavalry on the flank battlefield was even more powerful than the battle of nearly 10,000 people in formation. However, although the momentum was great, it did not stop here, and the battle between spears and swords and shields was still going on. However, the cavalry battle on the flanks became more and more chaotic, and both sides invariably threw all the cavalry in their hands, which in turn intensified the melee there.

The fierce battle continued, and as time went on, the Qing army became more and more tacit, which made it more and more difficult for the Ming army to quickly defeat the opponent's expectations.

The variables consumed are too huge, which Chen Kai cannot afford. In this case, with the issuance of an order, a moment later, in front of the battle formation of Fubiao in Guangdong, bottle-shaped objects crossed the heads of the Ming army in the front row, and a series of explosions broke out when they fell into the formation of the Qing army!
