Chapter 161: The Destiny of Heaven

The cavalry of the Shun army, which attacked from both flanks, was like two huge chisels, instantly wedged into the open space between the cavalry and infantry of the Ming army.

The Iron Cavalry Brigade immediately divided left and right.

The most spectacular cavalry hedge on the battlefield begins.

At the same time, the main infantry of the Shun army, which had been defeated, quickly turned around, and re-formed a Spanish phalanx at the fastest speed, and the cannon fodder that fled ran past them, and then collided head-on with a small phalanx composed of dense eight spears towards the Ming cavalry.

But the Ming army car city also disintegrated in an instant.

All the side vans were in groups of four, and under the impetus of those soldiers, they ran over the dead bodies all over the battlefield and crashed into the flanks of the Shun cavalry, and at the same time as the cavalry of the two sides collided together, these side vans also entered the attack distance, and then regrouped into a small four-car phalanx, and began to bombard the Shun cavalry that turned to meet at close range with Furlong machines and raised guns.

The latter came under the surging artillery fire and quickly surrounded the phalanxes and attacked.

But these small phalanxes were like reefs in a torrent, immovable in the onslaught of cavalry, and relying on the protection of the side vans, the infantry kept firing inside, shooting the cavalry of the Shun army attacking them around them.

The latter is clearly not comfortable with this.

Their bows and arrows, and their guns, were almost ineffective against the Che battalion, and even if they could rush in front of them while the shells and bullets were loaded, they could not get past the barrier of the side vans, while the spears, axes, and grenades of the infantry in the Checheng could inflict heavy damage on them at close range.

When the Ming infantry finished loading their ammunition, they would have only one way to die.

The cavalry of the Shun army fought helplessly.

The Spanish phalanx of the Shun army also began to attack the flanks of the Ming cavalry, and some of the cavalry turned to shoot at these infantry with their bows and arrows.

The latter returned fire with a bird's gun.

But the cavalry of the Ming army is also helpless against the phalanx composed of these dense spears, even if they are mounted cavalry, they dare not rush these hedgehogs, the spears are too dense, even the war horses under the crotch are afraid, and the shooting of bows and arrows is limited to the infantry of the Shun army who have heavy armor protection on their bodies, but the bird guns of the Shun army are really fatal to the mounted cavalry.

The situation of the Iron Cavalry Battalion was no different from that of the Shun cavalry.

The masters of the classical battlefield have finally met their nemesis.

The whole battlefield began with a decisive battle.

Cavalry vs. cavalry, Spanish phalanx vs. mounted cavalry, car battalion vs. cavalry, the only regret is that the car camp that Yang Qing is looking forward to has not appeared in the opposing formation, but it is probably the phalanx that is unlucky if it really appears, because they do not have the cooperation of artillery, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the Ming army. Tens of thousands of troops on both sides fell into a big melee in this way, on the one hand, it can almost be said that the strongest army under Li Zicheng, and on the other hand, it is also the strongest field army in the military system.

A representative of Western tactics of the arquebus era, the pinnacle of Eastern tactics of the same era.

As for the results......

Yang Qing didn't care about this.

He led a battalion of iron cavalry straight towards the oncoming Shun cavalry, the two armies continued to close the distance in the wild run, Yang Qing beside the mounted cavalry gradually arranged into a riding wall, behind them there were two more, three riding walls about ten meters apart swept across the battlefield full of dead corpses, a flat Zhangba spear with a small pennant pointed forward.

The next moment the impact begins.

The extra-long spears, disciplined formations, and the protective advantage of the human and horse equipment allowed the iron cavalry battalion to crush the opponent again, and the dense spear stabbing in the Shun cavalry continued to fall, and then those mounted cavalry jumped over their dead corpses and continued to move forward, and the second and third waves continued to sweep in the Shun cavalry that had been knocked out, completely trampling all the enemies in front of them under the hooves.

But it didn't work.

There are just too many enemies for them.

The numerical superiority of the Shun army was enough to offset the impact of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, and if it was those miscellaneous cavalry, this shock would be enough, but unfortunately they were also facing the strongest cavalry of the Shun army.

The nearly 3,000 Shun troops who were not defeated stubbornly blocked the impact of the 500 mounted cavalry, and forced them into a melee fight, and the Ming army with broken spears quickly replaced them with weapons such as iron maces and iron whips, and started a bloody battle with the surrounding Shun troops. However, the heavy armor protection on the body still gave the Ming cavalry a great advantage, especially the cuirass on the body, which was almost immune to all knife cuts, even if the angle of the cone gun was wrong, it would be slid away by the smooth surface, except for the same heavy strike weapons such as whips and hammers, it was difficult to cause them substantial damage.

And these Wu Sangui slaves were strong enough, as the de facto Imperial Forest Army in Nanjing, they were almost treated with meat and Yang Qing's personal supervision and training, so that their physical fitness was greatly improved, and their power in such a fight was still invincible.

Especially since they also have an invincible commander.

Yang Qing continued to be overwhelmed.

Even those cavalry of the Shun army did not dare to really engage him at all, and most of them only dared to shoot him with arrows, or bypass him and engage the Ming cavalry beside him, Yang Qing took his banner and a few dozen cavalry, and galloped invinciblely on the melee battlefield.

Soon he confronted Yuan Zongdi.

The latter, with at least five hundred cavalry, has always commanded the whole situation from a high position.

Yang Qing doesn't need to act as a commander, he has the deputy general of the Second Army behind him, who is the commander of the battlefield, and he does his favorite role of capturing the flag. At most, for the sake of his unyielding twenty years of bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty, he will not be killed, but it is still indispensable to be captured, and Yang Qing, who only took a few dozen horsemen, rushed straight to Yuan Zongdi excitedly, and the cavalry beside the latter immediately lined up to prepare for battle.

Yang Qing's speed kept accelerating.

Dozens of horsemen beside him followed him in a triangular formation, ferociously charging ten times his own enemy.

But his enemies stopped.

Yang Qing's heart suddenly moved.

The situation is very wrong!

But by this time it was too late.

Just when he was less than ten zhang away from Yuan Zongdi, he saw the strange smile on the latter's face, and almost at the same time, all the cavalry of the Shun army in the formation pulled out their muskets from behind, and three hundred reed wheel short guns aimed at Yang Qing in unison.

"Dismount!"

Yang Qing roared.

On a galloping horse, he leaped down.

But his dozens of horsemen didn't have time to dismount.

At the same time, a dense firelight erupted on the opposite side, and hundreds of bullets swept across the Ming army at a distance of less than twenty meters like a raging storm, most of them were aimed at Yang Qing, even the armor on his body could not block the bullets at this distance, even if the accuracy of the bullets of the Shun army was not enough, and his action of jumping off the war horse also made most of the bullets that should have been hit miss, and there were still dozens of bullets that hit Yang Qing almost at the same time......

"Kill!"

Yuan Zong's first crazy roar.

Then he picked up an iron shovel and urged the war horse.

And the three hundred Shun troops all rushed forward.

However......

The next moment they were all stunned.

Yuan Zongdi was stunned to watch a pillar of colorful light in the blue sky suddenly descend, instantly enveloping the bodies of Yang Qing and those fallen Ming cavalry, and then Yang Qing's body that had been severely injured actually slowly rose in this pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, rising higher and higher, and soon reached the sky more than ten meters high, quietly suspended in the colorful auspicious light.

A cavalryman of the Shun army, who didn't have time to take his horse, crashed into the pillar of light at once, and then instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared.

The cavalry behind stopped in horror.

Then they fell off their horses one after another, trembling and kneeling to the ground in fear, only Yuan Zongdi remained on the horse, but he was also completely petrified, and looked up at Yang Qing in mid-air stupidly.

The pillar of light stood between heaven and earth.

Colorful brilliance flows, between the blue sky and the green earth, proclaiming the majesty of the gods to mortals.

Everyone on the battlefield stopped.

They all watched in amazement.

Yang Qing in mid-air was quietly suspended in this pillar of light, and then the blood stains on his body disappeared under the gaze of countless eyes, the wounds on his forehead disappeared, and even the dirt on his body, the scars on his armor, and even the damage to his clothes were all restored in an instant. Then his body slowly stood up, his head bowed and his arms outstretched, the armor on his body was shining, and the cloak behind him hunted, although he lowered his head and his eyes were not open, he still looked down on all beings as if he were a god.

The cavalry was so frightened that they kowtowed.

And at the same time, the corpses of the cavalry and war horses of his subordinates below him also slowly stood up, and everything was restored in an instant like him, and even the whole body armor looked more gorgeous in the colorful auspicious light, but everyone stood at his feet with their heads bowed.

"What, what is this? Destiny? ”

Yuan Zongdi muttered bitterly.

The trap he carefully designed, in order to be able to solve the only obstacle on the road to the king's domination of the world, he even transferred the infantry of the new army who had just completed training, and the first musket cavalry battalion that had also just been formed, before finally successfully killing Yang Qing.

As a result, he actually restarted on the spot?

Miracles?

Destiny?

How can this Tamar fight?

At this time, the cavalry under his subordinates, and even everyone on the battlefield, whether it was cavalry or infantry, whether it was the Ming army or the Shun army, all gave up the battle, and knelt down to worship this miracle in fear, and worshiped the birth of the Mandate of Heaven.

Then in their worship, Yang Qing slowly fell and landed again on his warhorse.

The next moment, the auspicious light disappeared instantly.

And at the moment when the auspicious light disappeared, Yang Qing on horseback also reopened his eyes.

He looked blankly at the kneeling cavalry of the Shun army in front of him, and then looked around, looking at the subordinate cavalry behind him who had been shot and fell, the latter were also looking at each other blankly, Yang Qing's gaze crossed them, looked at the tens of thousands of kneeling soldiers on both sides on the entire battlefield, and finally turned back to look at Yuan Zongdi, who had dismounted and knelt down......

"Can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on?"

He said stunned.

(There was something in the afternoon, so I sent it in advance)
