Chapter 530: The Iron Cavalry Stands Out with Swords and Guns
On the vast seaside beach, the heavy horsemen of the Xuanhu and the light horses of the Flying Harrier on both sides were lined up in a wedge-shaped sharp formation on the left and right sides, like two huge and sharp black sharp blades, and with Cao Bianjiao's order, they rushed towards the eastern outer city wall that had completely collapsed.
The horses' hooves rumbled, like countless huge drums, striking the cold and hard earth, and the ironclad forests were like countless shining lenses, reflecting the dim and cold morning light. Guns and swords were pointed at each other, men and horses were one, and they rushed towards the unsuspecting Qing army, which was attacking the city with all its might.
As many as 5,000 Tang cavalry, using this vast sea fog as a cover, attacked the 10,000-strong Qing army of the Haoge Division, like a hurricane rolling up from the flat ground, that unstoppable fierce and fierce momentum was enough to trample any creature in front of it into powder.
All the cavalry of the Tang Army, are full of the belief that they will win in this impact battle, since the establishment of the Tang Army Iron Cavalry, has won many victories, and has never suffered defeat, every knight's heart, is full of inexplicable glory and dignity.
Among them, the Xuanhu heavy armored cavalry weighing 530 kilograms has accelerated as much as possible, and the heavy armored Xuanhu cavalry that charges in a wedge-shaped battle formation has reached an almost terrifying state, even if it is against those Qing troops who have already formed a strict formation, it will only be as easy as a knife cutting butter.
The slightly weaker equipment of the Flying Harrier Light Cavalry, although its impact power is much worse than that of the Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, but such a wedge-shaped battle formation that is densely accelerated to a state of charge, its impact power is also not to be underestimated, and it is not too easy for those reserve Qing troops in a scattered state.
Starting, accelerating, sprinting, and the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves was that the Tang army was getting closer and closer to the collapsed outer city wall in the east.
One of the 2,500 heavy cavalry of the Tang Army's Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry was called Daha, and at this time, he was in a very complicated mood.
Lai Daha originally belonged to the Zhenghuang Banner, was in the ninth year of Chongzhen when the Qing army entered the customs, in the town border city where it was, its 1,000 cavalry, was lured by Li Xiao's trick to surrender, after surrendering to the Tang Army, full of unwillingness to come to Daha, was first taken to Jintang City to dig coal and labor reform, in the local labor camp for a whole year, came to Daha to end the labor reform career, was reorganized into the Tang Army as an auxiliary.
At this time, Laidaha has accepted the way of life of the Han people, from hairstyle to clothing are no different from the ordinary Han people, and at the same time, he has also first learned the Chinese language, at this time, Laidaha, has completed the initial transformation from a Manchurian Tatar to an ordinary Han people, and psychologically, he has gradually accepted the psychological positioning of himself as a new Han people.
Next, hundreds of auxiliary soldiers such as Lai Daha were transferred from Jintangcheng on Xuanfu North Road to Dengzhou, Shandong, and then, here, they were divided into two parts, one of which remained in the local area, and the other was assigned to Taiwan.
After arriving in Taiwan, he was selected as a cavalry with his skillful riding and archery skills, and became a member of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry in Pingnan Town.
Later, the Tang Army reorganized, abolished the exclusive Manchu and Mongolian cavalry establishment, and incorporated these original Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, which had been sinicized and basically no different from the Han people, into the Xuanzhong Tiger Cavalry and the Flying Harrier Light Cavalry.
Therefore, Daha was then incorporated into a member of the Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry in Pingnan Town, and participated in the battle to pacify Luzon, and then, because in the dense and wild tropical rainforest, the cavalry had no room to play, and the cavalry of Pingnan Town was transferred north, part of which was added to Andong Town, and part of which temporarily remained on Ezo Island.
After receiving the news that Li Xiao had dispatched Cao Bianjiao's troops from Taiwan all the way north to aid Vladivostok, all the cavalry of Pingnan Town who came to Daha also received an order that they would join Cao Bianjiao's troops to aid Vladivostok.
Therefore, after Cao Bianjiao's troops set out from Taiwan, they first sailed straight to Ezo Island, and after receiving all the cavalry of Pingnan Town, they sailed to Vladivostok.
It was precisely because they had to pick up these cavalry on Ezo Island first that Cao Bianjiao's troops were delayed on the road for more than ten days, but fortunately, they finally arrived here smoothly and at the most critical and critical time of the defense of Vladivostok Fort.
When he rushed into battle with the whole army, Lai Daha's heart still suddenly flashed with inexplicable pain, and he had a strong sense of division in his mind.
Who am I?
Who the hell am I?
I used to be a Manchu, and now I am a Han, and I am now going to kill those who used to be with me as a Han. They must use their blood and brains to pave a bloody promotion path for themselves.
Is it right or wrong for me to do this?
It's just that now he is a member of the Tang Army, and he doesn't dare to disobey the ruthless and strict discipline of the Tang Army, and he doesn't dare to disobey Daha, not to mention, under the strong brainwashing day after day year after year, Lai Daha is basically in a state of complete personal thinking and blind obedience to obey orders.
Thinking of this, Lai Daha looked at the shadowy Qing troops in the distance, sighed lightly in his heart, and his face was already full of ruthlessness.
Hmph, since the courtyard has been changed and has become a Han Chinese, then don't make a goddamn watch and set up a memorial arch!
Now what Lao Tzu wants to kill is the sworn enemy of the Tang Army, and he doesn't use their heads to exchange his own military merits, do you want Lao Tzu to be kind enough to let them go? !
Lai Daha's eyes were like knives, and he subconsciously slammed the horse's belly, and the cold and sharp cavalry spear in his hand became more and more tight, followed by the faster and faster entire Xuanhu heavy cavalry wedge-shaped military formation, and rushed towards the Qing army's formation in the distance.
"Prince Su, you see, there are a large number of Tang cavalry in the east, divided into two places on the left and right, rushing towards our army!"
"Huh?!"
When the two Tang cavalry rushed towards the eastern outer city wall of Vladivostok Fort, they rushed towards the east wall of Vladivostok Fort, and Hao Ge, who was directing the Qing army to climb the siege ladder and storm towards the east city wall, could not believe his ears when he heard the news that his soldiers were attacking the Tang army cavalry in the east.
No way?
At a time when victory was in sight and the Qing army was about to achieve a complete victory, it was too coincidental that the Tang cavalry would come to the rescue.
However, when he turned his head to look and saw the large number of soldiers and horses that were surging towards the soldiers and horses in the fog, his original excitement suddenly fell straight to the bottom of the valley from mid-air.
He knew that the reinforcements of the Tang Army had finally arrived here at this critical moment.
It's really damn bad luck, Tang Jun didn't come sooner or later, just in time for the critical moment when he was about to win, this is a nightmare.
Hauge, who felt the ground trembling slightly, could clearly feel that a cold cold air rose from his back and quickly permeated his body.
What to do?
The cavalry of the Tang Army came so suddenly, could they continue to fight?
Hauge almost intuitively thought that the only way for his current self to preserve his strength was to quickly withdraw from the siege and escape, but this decision made him hesitate for a while.
If he retreats without any resistance, the cunning and sinister Dorgon will at once use this as an excuse to punish himself.
Moreover, if he had always flaunted his courage in battle, when he saw the Tang cavalry rushing towards him, he immediately fled for his life, which would have dealt too much damage to his personal image and had too bad an impact.
If he really did such a humiliating thing, perhaps, in the future, in the Great Qing Kingdom, although he was the eldest son of the emperor, he was afraid that he would never be able to raise his head again.
After all, how could the warriors of the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners athletes who crisscross the white mountains and black waters, and fight all over the world invincible, become like this, when they see the Tang Army, they don't even have the heart to fight, but only want to escape as soon as possible, this, this is simply a shame for the Qing Heavenly Soldiers!
Hauge took a deep breath and hurriedly gave the order.
"According to the king's order, the number of soldiers who went up to the city is enough now, so the soldiers gathered under the city will not continue to attack for the time being, and the whole army will immediately form a formation on the spot to resist the Tang cavalry assault, and the soldiers who have already attacked the head of the city will continue to fight with the Tang army defending the city. At the same time, an urgent order was sent back to the main camp to inform Dolgon of the news of the Tang army's attack. ”
"Hey, the minion obeys."
Hauge would not have imagined that at this critical moment of decision, under the influence of his innate hesitant character, the decision he made would bring him irreparable results.
The cruelty of fate lies in the fact that a single thought, a momentary separation, is enough to cause irreparable consequences, and it is useless to regret it afterwards.
Almost at the same time, just when the Qing army under the city urgently began to form a formation against the cavalry of the Tang army, the Tang army, which was struggling to resist at the head of the city, suddenly saw the Tang cavalry rushing in large numbers from the vast sea fog, and suddenly the city resounded with continuous cheers.
"General Lee! You see, reinforcements from our army are coming! They're finally here! ”
Li Dingguo looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and a look of almost ecstasy quickly appeared on his face.
That's right, it was the Tang Army who came, and after waiting for more than ten days, I finally waited for the reinforcements of the Tang Army!
Li Dingguo could no longer suppress his excitement, his face was also full of ecstasy, and he yelled at those soldiers: "Brothers! Reinforcements are coming! Our reinforcements are finally here! It won't be long before the dog-in-the-Tartar gets proud! Everyone hold on, and the brothers who came to help, work together inside and outside, and kill all these dog-in-the-Tartars to Lao Tzu! ”
"Yes!"
Under Li Dingguo's order, above and below the city, the cheers of the Tang army continued to sound like thunder, and all the Tang soldiers who were fighting hard and fiercely had a look of joy to the point of madness.
It's not easy, holding on to the present, the Tang Army, both in strength and physical strength, is close to collapse. The Tang Army, who came to help, came in a really timely manner.
For a time, the Tang army under the city and under the city broke out with great combat effectiveness, and everyone's courage doubled.
When the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, the entire Qing army, whose morale had risen to a state of madness, wilted like frosted eggplant.
What's going on?
How could it be that when these desperately resisting Tang troops were about to be destroyed, and they were about to occupy the inner city of Vladivostok Fort after paying a huge price for sacrifices, reinforcements from the Tang army arrived urgently?
It's just a coincidence.
It could even be said that it was an incredible nightmare!
Soon, Dolgon, who was in the tent of the Chinese army, was waiting for the news of the whole army to destroy the Tang army and occupy the entire inner city with a happy face, and he quickly discovered the current formation, and suddenly became extremely strange.
That is, he was surprised to find that the Tang army suddenly broke out with such a strong morale and such a ferocious combat state, and in contrast, the Qing army, which originally had a fierce attack like a beast, wilted inexplicably, which is simply unimaginable.
However, soon a soldier hurriedly came to report: "Prince Yurui, a large number of reinforcements from the Tang army are coming from the sea, and they are rushing straight towards Vladivostok Fort!" ”
Dolgon's face turned pale in an instant.
He jumped up from his chair and yelled at the soldiers, "How is it possible?!" How could the reinforcements of the Tang Army arrive sooner or later, but at this time! ”
"Prince Yurui, this is the truth, there are indeed a large number of Tang army reinforcements, taking advantage of the sea fog, sneaking all the way to the shore, and now the vanguard cavalry of the Tang army has made an all-out assault on our army's Prince Su's department!"
Coincidentally, just after the soldier finished reporting, the soldiers sent back to the main camp by Hauge also hurriedly reported the news of the large number of Tang troops to Dolgon, and at the same time, he also told him about Hauge's countermeasures.
When Dorgon heard this, he felt his head thump, as if it was about to explode.
With that, his face contorted into an angry mass.
Hauge, this idiot, is so stupid!
The Tang army charged from the left and right, and its momentum was so powerful and great. Hauge now has at least half of his troops attacking the city, and there are less than 5,000 troops under him, even if he temporarily forms a formation, how can he withstand the impact of the Tang army.
What is the difference between such a tactic and waiting to be killed by the head of the department!
Dolgon's teeth were gritted loudly, and he was eager to dismantle Hauge's idiot, so he stomped his foot fiercely and shouted at the soldier sent by Hauge: "Go back to Prince Yusu quickly, and let his subordinates withdraw for me quickly!" ”
As the soldiers obeyed, Dorgon wondered whether to withdraw Dordor, who was attacking the north and south walls, and Abbate, who was attacking the western wall, but he hesitated.
After all, now that the Qing army had already attacked the fort, it suddenly retreated, which not only wasted its previous achievements, but also greatly demoralized the army. Besides, if the Qing army wiped out the Tang army in the fort before the Tang army attacked, wouldn't it just be able to defend the inner city?
If the Tang army can first destroy all the Tang army defenders before the attack, then the Qing army will defend the inner city, and there will be reinforcements from the outer city as an echo, and the Tang army's reinforcements will come, but I am afraid that it will be helpless.
Moreover, the Tang army's reinforcements came from afar, and it was advantageous to fight quickly, if they held on to the city when they arrived, even if they could not immediately defeat the Tang army that came to help, they could definitely frustrate their spirit, let them stop under the fortified city, and finally when the veterans of their division were tired, the Qing army organized a counteroffensive again, and wiped out all the damned Tang army.
It's just that Dolgon would never have thought that his hesitation this time would make the Qing army pay an irreparable price.
