The sun was gradually overhead.

Yang Mingyang led nearly 700 cavalry to slowly follow the front of the convoy full of logistical baggage, and on both sides of the convoy were a total of five squadrons of foot soldiers, who held their spears high and guarded the safety of the convoy with high morale. After the battle just now, their self-confidence has risen a lot again, and I believe that when they face Li Shutai's cavalry troops again, they will be much calmer.

The main force led by Mo Ming was bombarding the broken Qing infantry with artillery. At this time, they had already chased not far in front of the camp hastily built by the Qing army last night, and the infantry of Li Shutai and his family, who had retreated first, were not prepared to stay in the camp at all.

More than 1,200 people of the broken Qing army Zhang Ruxing were on the verge of collapse again under the artillery bombardment of the people on the east coast. In order to maintain their line and buy time for his infantry to retreat, Li Shuotai sent about 400 cavalry to supervise the battle, but at this moment they were also blown up by the artillery, and suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers of the two battalions of the Eight Banners New Army, under the command of Liu Zhong, the standard commander, began to slowly lower their spears and rushed towards the main formation of Zhang Ruxing's troops, who were still struggling to maintain it. When the sharp spear tips pierced the flesh of these Qing soldiers, while the spears of their counter-attack slid away from the opponent's sturdy breastplate, these Qing troops finally collapsed. Coupled with the fact that the soldiers of the half squadron below the spear jungle kept assassinating with sharp blades in their hands, this Qing army, totaling about 16,700 people, finally fell irretrievably into a major collapse.

Zhang Ruxing really wanted to cry at this time, and his troops had already been broken up once today. At this time, under the pressure of the overseer, he once again did the hard work after the break. Under the swift attack of the yellow-clothed thief. For the second time, his old books collapsed today. And the damage caused by this collapse is much greater than the first time, after all, this time it is a face-to-face physical fight, and once it collapses, it will be a one-sided slaughter.

Zhang Ruxing, escorted by more than a dozen loyal soldiers, struggled to separate the crowd and prepared to take the road. In front of him were the soldiers of the Han Army Banner of the Overseer who were hurriedly turning over their horses. Zhang Ruxing secretly scolded these shaved and forgotten ancestors, and was about to join them to escape, when a gust of wind sounded behind him, and then he felt a sharp pain like tearing. Then a black man fell unconscious.

"Who did it? Well done! Mo Ming, who was riding on a war horse, looked at Zhang Ruxing, who was knocked off his horse by a harpoon, and said very happily, "It must have been done by a certain Shandan person!" Only they will use harpoons! Staff officer, write it down, and reward this soldier with two hundred dollars in cash after the war. ”

At this time, Zhang Ruxing's Qing army had been defeated, and his soldiers threw away their weapons and scattered everywhere. Of course, there are many people who simply abandon their weapons and surrender on their knees, but the people on the east coast don't have time to pay attention to them at the moment. The large infantry formation, which still maintained a certain formation, slowly passed over the corpses of the Qing soldiers who had fallen to the ground, and then marched resolutely forward. At this time, the artillery unit accompanying them had already fired shells into the improvised camp of the Qing army in front. This further exacerbated the panic of the Qing army's infantry team, which was rapidly retreating. Those coated servants are not good, and at this time, they are rushing to escape. However, this unorderly retreat has caused even greater chaos.

Li Shutai saw that this would not work, and if he let the people on the east coast chase him so unscrupulously, he was afraid that his infantry would lose a considerable part of it. Therefore, in order to cover the retreat of the infantry, he took the remaining fifteen hundred horsemen far past the infantry of the easterners and began to accelerate towards the rear convoy. This was his idea to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and he planned to delay the pursuit of the people on the east coast by attacking the logistics convoy of the people on the east coast.

Yang Mingyang, a cavalry officer, immediately organized the soldiers to connect the carts end to end, and at the same time, the foot soldiers of the advanced team raised their spears on the periphery to prevent the enemy cavalry from approaching. At the same time, he himself mounted a tall Andalusian horse, and then led nearly 700 cavalry under his command to meet him, ready to delay the enemy's attack. His cavalry was also more disciplined, with the Polish mercenaries at the front, and although they rode short Mongolian horses, which were not heavy enough, the improvised cavalry cuirasses provided to them by the easterners were not heavy. Before setting out, they covered their leather armor with such a simple cavalry cuirass, and then took out their long cavalry spears, but they could barely charge.

The cavalry on both sides approached quickly, and just as these Qing cavalry were about to rely on their numerical superiority to completely defeat the yellow-clothed thief cavalry in front of them, they saw that the other party was holding a long cavalry spear and rushed straight up, which made them, who were essentially Han soldiers who were still mounted infantry, a little worried. However, this is not the most critical, I saw that when the distance was close to a distance of about tens of meters, the opponent successively fired a fire gun with good ammunition in his hand, and the Qing army was caught off guard and fell off the horse one after another. After the handcuffs, the Polish cavalry shouted unintelligible slogans, and then raised the speed of their horses to the extreme, and collided with the oncoming Qing cavalry.

After the vanguards of the two sides collided together, the elite scouts of the scouts of the Polish cavalry bypassed their war groups, swam to the right edge of the two war groups, and while shooting the guns in their hands at the Qing army, they took out spears, throwing axes and other gadgets from the saddle bag, and threw them at the Qing soldiers in many places. Not to be outdone, the Qing army took out their riding bows to fight back, but the scouts were better equipped and their riding skills were also quite exquisite, and it was difficult to fall off their horses on the spot if they were not shot by the Qing army. The peasant cavalry following the Polish cavalry bypassed from the right side, and then fired a round of pistol fire at the dense crowd of the Qing army as usual, and then brandished his saber and strangled the Qing cavalry who had divided his troops.

Li Shutai was surrounded by dozens of Qing soldiers, he was slightly injured, and just now he was shot in the left arm by a bear hunting spear that flew from nowhere, and he was bleeding profusely, which made the soldiers extremely panicked. They were only cavalry infantry, and fighting on horseback was not what they were good at, and they originally thought that the other party was similar to them, so they were ready to use twice the numerical advantage to break up this cavalry in one fell swoop, and then storm their logistics baggage convoy and force the yellow-clothed thief brigade in front to come back to help.

But at the moment, it seems that the cavalry of the yellow-clothed thieves is not simple, not to mention anything else, let's just say that they rushed to the front of the more than 200 colored cavalry. These color-eyed people held frightening-looking cavalry spears, and under the same eyes, they first shot down nearly 100 of their own troops who rushed to the front, and then held their spears and directly dented their cavalry formation, among which the most fierce color-eyed cavalry was even only a few horses away from Li Shutai, which was terrifying. If they were given a tall horse, with heavy armor and spears, they would dare to charge in a row, which would be incredible. Moreover, the cavalry that bypassed the left and right flanks were not simple, and it could be seen that they lived on horses all the year round, and their riding skills were extremely exquisite, and all kinds of things such as handguns, throwing axes, and spears emerged in an endless stream, and the technique of killing them immediately was several streets away from their own people.

Just when Li Shutai was a little frightened by the bravery of the yellow-clothed thief cavalry, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of hundreds of foot soldiers armed with spears and swords on the side of the convoy approaching this side quickly. Li Shutai didn't dare to think about it anymore, the faint pain in his arm reminded him that today's enemy is not a good stubble, and if he hesitates, he may not be able to leave today. So, at his command, the soldiers raised his banner and shouted loudly, and then turned their horses away.

After Li Shutai took the lead in retreating, the other Qing cavalry who were fighting with the cavalry on the east bank were afraid that they would be thrown behind, so they also turned their horses and left. Yang Mingyang, who also suffered a slight injury to his shoulder, hurriedly yelled when he saw this, beckoning the brothers around him to chase forward. And after seeing the Qing cavalry retreating, the foot soldiers on the side of the convoy were also greatly encouraged, and at this time, even those timid Korean musketeers dared to rush out of the car formation with firecrackers to the passing Qing cavalry, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the battlefield.

The infantry and musketeers in front had stopped pursuing, firstly, because they had been fighting for so long with heavy armor, and no matter how good they were, they had reached a critical point, and secondly, they were a little worried about whether the troops in the rear could withstand the impact of the 1,500 cavalry personally led by Li Shutai. Fortunately, the cavalry brigade in the rear and the soldiers of the standing team handed over a perfect answer, they not only withstood the fierce impact of the Qing cavalry, but also took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army's unintentional love to fight back, which made people look enthusiastic.

The battle ended an hour later. Li Shutai left the battlefield with more than 1,000 cavalry, and then joined up with the infantry team. The Yang Mingyang cavalry brigade that was pursuing it was blocked by the infantry of the Qing army, and after seeing that there was no longer much advantage to take advantage of, they slowly retreated. At this time, the main force of infantry led by Mo Ming has occupied the wooden camp abandoned by the Qing army, and the camp is scattered with some grain, horse material, carts and some mules and horses pulling carts.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army, who had been fighting for a long time, took off their heavy armor with the assistance of the soldiers. They were all soaked with sweat, and most of their bodies had been consumed, and at this time, they were sitting in the shack built by the Qing army, drinking wine to ward off the cold, and chatting. At this time, the soldiers of the standing team were cleaning the battlefield in small teams while capturing the Qing army routs scattered everywhere, and it was conservatively estimated that more than 600 prisoners were captured in this battle, most of whom were Zhang Ruxing's subordinates. As for Zhang Ruxing himself, this tragic guy was trampled by many war horses after being harpooned, and he died on the spot, which can be described as extremely tragic. (To be continued......)
