Compared with firing rifled guns, flintlock smoothbore guns are far from each other in terms of effective firing range, and there is also a certain gap between the archery skills of the logistics troops and the front-line field troops - the main reason is the lack of firing discipline, no one to direct the salvo, and most of them start firing freely after the iron harrier enters the firing range.

The flintlock pistol's free fire could not resist the charge of the determined cavalry, so although it cost a lot of money, the iron harrier of the famous master still managed to get close to the car formation.

Of course, it was impossible for the cavalry to directly charge and set up a position, and at a distance of about thirty paces from the chariot formation, the iron harrier began to slow down, and at a distance of ten paces, the speed of the cavalry was not much faster than on foot.

Immediately, the iron harrier in the front row quickly slid down the saddle, and the deputy general of the iron harrier shouted, and the cavalry who had hundreds of horses drew their swords and axes, and attacked the car formation with a round shield.

Behind them, the cavalry, who did not dismount, began to throw light arrows at the chariot formation with bows and arrows, trying to suppress the Chinese firepower.

There was another crackling of gunfire, and the charging iron harriers were weakened by a row, and the others smoothly approached the formation, and several of the bravest armorers jumped into the formation along the gap between the vehicles.

The Chinese army did not have the slightest fear, and a cluster of bayonets pierced them, killing all the lonely armored soldiers.

The gap between the vehicles is too small, at most two armor soldiers can pass through at a time, and there are frames blocking it, and the Iron Harrier has never been able to transport enough troops into the vehicle formation.

The two sides were at a stalemate in these gaps, and some brave logisticians stood directly on the roof of the carriage and attacked the enemy crowded in front of the car with flintlock muskets, and the Iron Harrier immediately shot these people with bows and arrows, and both sides paid a lot of casualties.

Some of the walking harriers hooked several carts with ropes with grappling hooks, then mounted their horses and ran in the direction they came, trying to drag them down with their horsepower.

Immediately, someone from the logistics army brought in the cattle and horses pulling the carts from the opposite direction, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

In this kind of clumsy confrontation, the Iron Harriers are very at a loss, after all, they are elites, even if they exchange one for one with the Chinese army, they will suffer, not to mention that they can't do one for another.

The 15 mm flintlock pistol was so powerful that no one could wear moving armor to resist it, and a soldier who was shot in the torso would undoubtedly die, even if he only hit his limbs.

Although most of the logistics soldiers of the Chinese army did not wear armor, at least everyone had a thick cotton jacket, and if they could not hit the vital point, they could not kill a single person.

What's more, the Chinese army at least has carriage cover.

This slightly clumsy attack lasted for half an hour, and the Iron Harrier suffered heavy casualties, and the impact became weaker and weaker, while the logistics army continued to shoot shouting, and the firepower did not decrease at all.

Wei Mingrong closed his eyes in pain.

The Great White High Country is over.

The most elite Su Zhi Iron Cavalry can't even deal with a bunch of enemy logistics soldiers, how can this battle be fought?

"My lord, you can't fight like this!" The bloodstained lieutenant staggered over and shouted in a sad voice: "I can't beat it even if I die like this!" Let's take a break and let the boys take a break! ”

"Ben General said, if you can't beat it, don't go back!" Wei Mingrong and Li were like gamblers who had lost red-eyed, and roared frantically: "Go and rush again!" ”

"Enemy Rider !!"

The lieutenant was about to argue when a desperate howl came, and he and Wei Mingrongli turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction from which the voice came.

A group of horsemen appeared in their field of vision, dressed in glittering iron armor and pointing their sabers at them, pouring out from the corner of a ridge two hundred paces away.

Above the heads of the cavalry, a bright red rectangular banner was fluttering.

Wei Mingrongli put all his strength into the operation of attacking the car formation, so that he didn't even send out many sentinels, and he couldn't stop the sudden Chinese cavalry at all.

This became the biggest and final mistake made by this famous young general in his life.

Amid the cheers of the militia, six light cavalry companies that rushed from the front to reinforce the logistics corps charged directly with sabers, penetrating the unprepared Iron Harrier line from the flank, and the battle situation was immediately completely settled.

……

Lingzhou.

The defense line in the city was broken through by the Chinese army in one fell swoop, and the Chinese army wearing red uniforms quickly swept away the last resistance of the party in the city like a flood that burst the embankment.

At the last moment, the last 800 armor soldiers led by Renduo Zangqing were surrounded by the Chinese army in the Yamen of Xiping Mansion (Lingzhou).

And Ye Dama found an opportunity to flee Lingzhou from the north gate with five hundred cavalry.

However, Ye Xiaoma did not get far away, and was caught up by the Chinese cavalry in a small town called Dongguan Town, five miles north of Lingzhou.

The Ye Xiao cavalry, who lost their armor and abandoned their armor, was not the opponent of the Chinese cavalry at all, and the two sides hedged each other, and the wall charge of the light cavalry cut off more than 100 opponents.

The Ye Xiao cavalry, which was already demoralized, quickly collapsed, and the Chinese light cavalry pursued and killed them wantonly.

However, taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Xiaoma threw away all his equipment and gorgeous armor on his body, and successfully escaped from the battlefield in the crowd of routs.

In Lingzhou City, the desperate Renduo Tibetan Qing still resisted desperately with the thick outer walls of the Yamen of the Fucheng City, and his men even organized two counterattacks to repel the Sauron soldiers who tried to blow up the outer walls with explosives packs.

Of course, the soldiers of the Renjia family who attacked were all shot by the Chinese musketeers in the open space in front of the yamen.

Dressed in armor and holding a horned bow, he stood at the top of the wall and shot at the Chinese musketeers with the most ordinary soldiers.

A gust of wind blew, and seven or eight armored soldiers were hit by bullets, and fell off the wall screaming, and Rindo Zangqing shouted as if he hadn't seen it.

I don't know why, Renduo Zangqing's luck was very good, after shooting three quivers in a row, and almost all the armor soldiers around him were shot, he himself still did not suffer any damage.

However, the good fortune of one person on the battlefield did not mean anything, and the Chinese army pushed two six-pound cannons directly from outside the city.

Renduo Chuqing looked at the muzzle of the cannon pointed at him, and the longbow in his hand fell to the ground.

……

A full hour after the fall of Lingzhou, the reinforcements led by Wu Zang Pang had just arrived in Dongguan Town, where Ye Pola was caught up by the Chinese cavalry.

Tens of thousands of party soldiers and their commanders looked at the corpses all over the ground and were silent.

……

On the 7th day of March 1793, the Chinese army went to Lingzhou one day.

He killed 15,000 people under the puppet Xia privy envoy Renduo Chuqing, captured more than 37,000 people, and about 50,000 Lingzhou residents fell into the hands of the Chinese army.

On March 8, Li Jinghuai suddenly exercised the old rule that the Chinese army had not used for a long time in Lingzhou - choose five to kill one.

Out of the 87,000 people who took prisoners of war and Lingzhou residents, 18,000 people were selected and killed!

Lingzhou City directly turned into a bloody hell, Li Jinghuai first killed all the wounded, the old and the infirm in the city, and then killed the party Zhuangding to make up for it.

On March 11, Li Jinghuai ordered the sealing of the knife, and immediately pulled out several prisoners and asked them to bring a letter to Xingqing Mansion.

In the letter, Li Jinghuai said that if the puppet Xia army continued to resist, the tragedy in Lingzhou would be repeated in Xingqing Mansion.
