Chapter 393: The Great Battle Outside Lizhou City (2)

"Kill!"

The Manchurians were the first to ride their horses to kill the Ying Long Army!

The iron horse galloped, the sword flashed, shouting to kill the heavens, and the people were killed with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas.

"Ready!" Ying Longjun was calm, it was obviously not the first time that they had dealt with the charge of the Manchurian Iron Cavalry, and they were not affected by the Manchurian momentum at all, raising their flintlock pistols and waiting for the Manchurians to approach!

Soon, the Manchurian was within one hundred and fifty meters and was about to enter the firing range.

"Woohoo"

At this time, the Manchurian took the lead in shooting a wave of arrows.

The arrow carried the tension of the bowstring and the impact of the war horse, and flew nearly one hundred and forty meters, which was almost the same range as the firing range of the Ying Long army's flintlock pistol. However, because the Manchu people shot arrows at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, they did not hurt Ying Longjun, and all of them fell in front of Ying Longjun.

"Fire!"

At the same time, Ying Longjun also pulled the trigger and shot the red-hot lead projectile.

The war horse screamed, and the iron horsemen who rushed to the front fell to the ground.

The rest of the Manchurian turned their horses' heads sideways, and narrowly avoided the extreme range of Ying Longjun's range, and nearly 10,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry seemed to intend to outflank left and right, galloping with Ying Longjun outside the ultimate range of Ying Longjun.

"Change formation!"

There are Manchu people in the sharp eyes who are about to make a detour to the rear, and the Dragon Army urgently changes its formation and forms a circle formation to resist the Manchu people who may rush from all directions.

However, the Manchurian war horses only galloped against Ying Longjun outside the limit range of Ying Long's army, and did not kill Ying Long's army from all directions for a while.

Han Hu couldn't help frowning when he watched Manchuren's actions in the Yinglong Army's military formation, and didn't immediately understand what Manchuren wanted to do. Although he came to Lizhou with 5,000 Ying Long troops and wanted to recover Lizhou, he was not sure. The city of Lizhou was strong, and they did not carry cannons, and the lack of cannons seriously affected the combat effectiveness of Yinglong's army.

The Qing army's iron cavalry besieged but did not attack, and after half a ring, Han Hu faintly understood the intention of the Qing army.

"It seems that the Qing army does not intend to fight with us, but intends to consume us with life and death." Han Hu said what Tuo Yue really thought.

Knowing this, Han Hu's face sank slightly, and the Manchu people were obviously smart, and they didn't have a hard time with Ying Longjun.

In fact, this is the way Tuo Yue has been thinking about dealing with Ying Longjun all these years. The military formation of the Ying Long army was undoubtedly a difficult bone to gnaw, and under the tough collision, the Manchurians had suffered heavy casualties and suffered unprecedented heavy losses.

The population of the Manchurians is not large, and they can only replenish more than 10,000 troops at most every year, and they have to fight in all directions, and there are not many people left. Although the Manchu people are brave and not afraid of death, they are not stupid in the end, after hitting their heads in the hands of Ying Longjun and breaking the bloodstream, they will still be flexible to avoid a hard encounter with Ying Longjun.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring field artillery, otherwise I would have made it impossible for the people to eat and walk, and they wouldn't have become so passive." Han Hu said regretfully.

As the Manchurians relied on the mobility of war horses to besiege and not attack, the Ying Long army gradually fell into passivity, and the soldiers of the Ying Long army had to keep holding flintlock pistols and always be vigilant.

"General, the Manchurian people are really cowardly like a rat in doing this, so it is better for us to take the initiative!" A Ying Long Junqian said.

Han Hu shook his head and said, "It's useless, the Manchurians have made up their minds not to fight with us, even if we take the initiative, it's useless." ”

After the Ying Long army transformed into a circle formation, it moved very slowly, while the Manchu people rode on war horses, and they were very mobile, and the Ying Long army could not escape the siege of the Manchu people no matter what.

Lizhou City Tower, Li Dingguo is also paying attention to this big battle.

"The Qing army's iron cavalry does this, and it can indeed bring a lot of trouble to the Ying Long army!" Li Dingguo nodded, and also saw Tuo Yue's strategy, no wonder Tuo Yue insisted that he didn't need the help of the Great Western Army.

Ying Longjun was indeed in trouble, half an hour, after a while, Ying Longjun in the first row couldn't support it first, and the flintlock pistol began to shake.

Seeing this, Tuo Yue, who was leading the Qing army's iron cavalry to surround Ying Long's army, showed a smile.

"Shoot!" Han Hu loudly ordered the soldiers of the Ying Long Army to temporarily put down the flintlock pistols in their hands, wanting the soldiers to rest for a while.

However, how could Tuo Yue give Ying Longjun a chance to rest.

"Kill!" The Qing army immediately slaughtered from all directions.

A rain of arrows hit.

"Ahh Several Ying Long soldiers were not wounded.

The Manchurians took advantage of the opportunity for Ying Longjun to put down their flintlock pistols and rushed into the range of bows and arrows.

"Fire!"

Ying Longjun also fired urgently, but unfortunately, after the Qing army's iron cavalry shot that wave of arrows, they immediately avoided it, and only a few cavalry injuries were under the wave of lead bullets of Ying Longjun.

Ying Longjun had to continue to hold a flintlock pistol.

"Change teams!" Han Hu ordered.

It was not impossible for the soldiers of the Yinglong Army, who had been holding flintlock pistols flat in the first row, to rest. The soldiers of the Ying Long Army in the second row switched places with the soldiers of the Ying Long Army in the first row.

Han Hu frowned, his face was very ugly, although Ying Longjun could change teams to rest, but it was definitely not a way to go down with the Qing army like this, after all, Ying Longjun was also going to eat, once he was consumed with the Qing army to the point of hunger and cold, he would only be defeated by Ying Longjun.

Something must be done to change that situation.

Han Hu looked at Lizhou City in front of him and sighed, it seems that relying on only five thousand Ying Long Army, there is no hope of recovering Lizhou City, in order not to be consumed by the Qing army, Ying Long Army can only take the initiative to withdraw!

Han Hu looked in all directions, and his eyes finally fixed on one direction.

"The army moves southwest!" Han Hu ordered loudly.

Han Hu saw clearly, there were several big mountains in the southwest, and Ying Longjun could rest there, only the best place to go!

In the end, under the condition that the Manchurians were besieged but not attacked, Ying Long's army had to choose to evacuate.

Seeing that the Ying Long army had no choice but to retreat, the morale of the Qing soldiers was greatly boosted, and the Ying Long army was not so strong, and if it was dry, it would not be able to consume the Qing Iron Cavalry.

Han Hu wanted to evacuate with Ying Long's army, and Tuoyue naturally couldn't let Han Hu go so smoothly.

Along the way, the Qing army's iron cavalry did not rush forward and shoot arrows, forcing the Ying Long army to stop and deal with it, and the speed of the entire army formation was extremely slow, and if they wanted to move to the destination envisioned by Han Hu, they were afraid that it would be difficult to reach it in one or two hours.

In the face of Ying Longjun, they gave up the most enthusiastic sprint and fight, hovering around Ying Longjun like a lone wolf, ready to rush up and bite under Ying Longjun's negligence or exhaustion.
