Chapter 118: I wish that in the next life I would no longer be weak and could not help the wind

The horse plague has been spreading in the army for many days, and the combat power of the cavalry of King Sanshun has been greatly reduced by the animal disease.

The war horse was depressed, sick and couldn't run, some of them were crying in the wind, the corneas of their eyes were red, not to mention running, they were panting and even coughing when they took two steps with four hooves.

Although under the diagnosis and treatment of a large number of veterinarians and the use of medicines, the epidemic has now been initially controlled, Geng Zhongming knows in his heart that it is okay for such cavalry to scare people, and it is difficult to withstand it if it is really a tough battle.

He knew that although there were not many cavalry in the Ming army, they were all the elites drawn from tens of thousands of troops.

Geng Zhongming has been fighting horses for decades, and his prediction of the battle situation is very accurate, and when he sees the momentum of Tianlang charging, he knows that his side cannot win.

Geng Zhongming, the cavalry of the Ming army, also knew very well, most of them were the remnants of the Dashun army, and he knew that all the cavalry of the Dashun army were veterans who had fought for at least seven or eight years.

Rao suffered huge losses in the Battle of Ningwuguan before attacking Beijing, and the Dashun army died 70,000 in the battle, and in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he still fought with all the soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui's Guanning Army for a day.

In the eyes of many veterans of the Dashun army, if it weren't for the fact that when Dolgon entered the pass, it happened to be a beautiful day, and the wind and sand rose in an instant, and the Qing army attacked with the wind, and the Dashun army in the windward formation would not have opened their eyes at all, and they would still have the strength to fight in the face of the Qing army in that decisive battle, at least there would not be a situation of collapse at the touch of a button.

All the Dashun troops were holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, wanting to repay the blood debt for the sacrificed robes.

Tianlang is from a modern military red family, of course, the most emphasis on the army's battlefield discipline, that is almost the winner and the loser and life.

In addition to discipline, as a descendant of a new Chinese soldier, Tianlang feels that he has inherited the military spirit instilled by Grandpa Mao.

You can have a loose image, but you can't be careless, you can't be afraid of death when you should resist, and you won't retreat when you should charge, this is discipline.

The Dashun army regards this battle as a battle of revenge, and it is obvious that there is no need for Tianlang to be too disciplined.

This situation provided an opportunity for the future commander, so that the Dashun army was accustomed to obeying the orders of the heavenly waves.

Discipline comes from repeated indoctrination and tone, in addition to what you must do, Tianlang also tunes that your team must also be able to do.

Just saw Geng Zhongming flee without fighting, which surprised Tianlang, but he didn't expect that the problem of cooperation between various ministries that he was most worried about and prioritized also existed in the Qing army.

Seeing that the pace of the Qing army was a little chaotic, some wanted to escape, and some wanted to press up, Tianlang smiled disdainfully, it seems that King Sanshun is not monolithic.

Geng Zhongming has always had a lot of opinions about Kong Youde successively pushing the robe to the front to attack, but he didn't say it in his heart.

The main cavalry of the Ming army attacked him, Geng Zhongming thought to himself that he was not sure of victory, at most five or five open, in that case, the casualties would not be less than thirty percent, he didn't want to bear this loss alone, so retreating outside the battle circle was the smartest choice.

Tianlang did not go to save Hou Xing, who was beaten by Geng Zhongming, nor did he pursue Geng Zhongming, but went straight like a sharp sword into Hong Youde's Chinese army.

Geng Zhongming's rash advance and big stride retreat directly exposed the flank of Kong Youde's Chinese army to Tianlang's eyes, which was a great gift from the enemy, and Tianlang would never miss the opportunity.

Two thousand iron horsemen slaughtered in with sharp arrows, Geng Zhongming's sudden retreat and the resolute penetration of Tianlang surprised Kong Youde, and the Chinese army was immediately shaken.

Unexpectedly, just after more than an hour of war, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn and the waves turned upside down.

"Kill in, we made the right bet, it seems that Geng Zhongming is not as strong as he seems, kill!"

If Tianlang could detect that there was a horse plague in Kong Youde's army, then the odds of winning this battle in his heart would increase by at least two percent, reaching five or five kai.

"What is the emperor going to do, is he crazy, isn't he afraid of being surrounded?" The two old masters watching the battle at the head of the city were so anxious that they jumped to their feet.

Even if Geng Zhongming fled, after all, Kong Youde's Chinese army still had more than 20,000 elites, although Kong Youde was unprepared by him, he still quickly ordered all the cavalry under his command to stop Tianlang.

Kong Youde's cavalry hurriedly responded to the battle, but Tianlang had no scruples, a mace in his hand killed left and right, and the galloping horse raised its hooves, and a powerful force carried him to dance in the undercurrent.

The 2,000 cavalry under his command were the elite of all armies, and even if the enemy was outnumbered, there was no fear, and the two iron streams soon collided in one place.

Looking back and seeing that Kong Youde's cavalry was eye-catching, Geng Zhongming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart sank again.

He was lucky to withdraw in time, but Kong Youde was miserable, his thousands of cavalry did not have time to accelerate before they collided with the enemy, and the line of troops in contact with the Ming cavalry was like a mountain being eroded and impacted by waves of floods, and then collapsed in pieces and drowned in the torrent.

What shocked him even more was that he saw a person on the front line of the Ming army, who had just fled in a hurry, so when he looked back, the long-bodied young man with a knife was flying like a horse, spinning left and right in Hong Youde's army, who else could it be if it wasn't the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty?

He didn't regret that he had given the order to retreat, and seeing that figure was actually even more worried about Kong Youde.

Although he didn't follow Kong Youde's words about how powerful Emperor Nanming was, the guy in the battle of Quanzhou had proven himself several times, and he seemed to have the potential of an excellent hunter, forbearing, ruthless, ferocious, and fearless.

"Hooray, be careful!" Deng Kai stayed on Tianlang's side for a moment, and with a knife he opened a weapon that the enemy stabbed at Tianlang, and Tianlang's mace was picked up and smashed the man's head with a stick.

"Hehe, it's Hong Youde who should be careful."

"Hooray?"

"Now asking about the odds, it's not as good as a gamble, Geng Zhongming ran away, just see if Hong Youde will be scared by us and pee again!"

With that, he shouted, 'Drive!' The prancing horse continued to recklessly move forward, taking advantage of the embarrassment and confusion of the Qing cavalry in front of him, and approached the banner of Kong Youde's Chinese army a lot.

On the right side of his side, Hao Yongzhong led a selection of strikers almost at right angles to him, and was also rushing towards Kong Youde's banner.

Kong Youde's cavalry, as Geng Zhongming expected, couldn't withstand it at all, the horses were weak on all legs, and some cavalry even dismounted to fight, but more of them were blown away by the air flow like a hurricane.

"How?" Kong Youde couldn't believe that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, which he was proud of, was so vulnerable.

"Resist me, whoever retreats will be killed!"

"There you go!" His whip was pointed at one of the lieutenants beside him, "Go and gather the cavalry back and launch a counterattack behind the enemy's back!" ”
