Chapter 105: Northern Expedition (11)
Along the way, Gan Hui continued to send one death army after another, bringing the combat effectiveness and organization of his own soldiers to one hundred and two percent of the load. If Qi Jiguang can come back to life, he will definitely sigh that the army that can play this kind of operation is the reincarnation of the Qi family.
Of course, these "abandoned sons" are not completely without a way out, if the Qing army has been constantly weakening and depleting around them, then the main force led by Gan Hui may plunge into the encirclement of Zheng Xi from the side. So, the Qing army was just trying to disperse these annoying flies.
Without sneakers and a hardened pavement, the soldiers trotted all the way down, and the soldiers had pain in their feet and gradually wheezing. Some people slowly fell behind and became drag bottles at the back of the line. With just one look, two old sentinels stepped forward, gathered the stragglers, and dispersed the fierce offensive into a trickle.
"Hurry up, rush forward, we can survive!"
"People die***, don't die and sway!"
At this time, down to the small soldiers, up to Gan Hui himself, they all became a group of crazy people, backstabbing two battalions of the Qing army with a maximum of half a battalion of troops, and they had to keep dividing their troops to prevent the Qing cavalry from pursuing, and once the Qing army divided part of its forces, it turned to the spot... He is already at the end of a strong crossbow and can't wear Lu Min.
But what can you do if you don't?
Only a few elites who can't be copied can barely trot on the march. If you turn with the main force, not to mention that you can't take it out, it will completely become a good meal for the enemy--- and the infantry who can't immediately form a formation will fight with the cavalry, unless it is a martial artist who has inherited the family education, otherwise it will be cut in two or stabbed through with a gun.
Gan Huiqiang cheered himself up and tried his best to make his voice heard. The soldiers were already numb people, and at this time, there was a ray of light, and those who could keep up with them all accelerated their pace.
Gradually, the encirclement against Zheng Xi not far away appeared in Gan Hui's field of vision. Gan Hui stopped and ordered the team to spread the front as far as possible. Before the team was completely organized, the hundreds of soldiers who only had their last breath left were red-eyed, and rushed to the soft back of the Qing army.
Seeing the Ming army suddenly emerging from the flank, the Qing army was in an uproar. Gan Hui's subordinates shouted loudly while pushing their spears, shaking the military heart of the Qing army in front of them.
The generals and colonels who were heavily protected by layers of spearmen shuddered at this time: it was obviously a situation of absolute superiority in the number of troops and the allocation of troops, but as a result, the side with more people and fewer people became a front and rear attack?
"The last two teams turned!"
"The back team turns!"
"Don't move!"
"Forward, distance......!"
"Fold back!"
"Bastard! Retired now? Can I get back? A guerrilla grabbed a whip and whipped it at his men.
Orders clashed with each other, flags waved crosswise, and the Qing army was confused.
Gan Hui took a few breaths and aimed at a long flagpole with Wangshan--- which looked at least the flag of the first level of the thousand generals.
With a "bang", the flagpole was shot in half by a lead shot. Seeing the flag falling, the Qing army thought that their lord would be successfully backstabbed, and they fled to both sides without the heart to fight.
Gan Hui's heart was pounding, and his emotions turned into ecstasy again: his luck was so good! After breaking through the rout troops fleeing on both sides, Gan Hui and Zheng Xi reunited their troops, and the two banners gathered together, which boosted the morale of Zheng Jun again.
"Cavalry! Tartar ...... "A soldier looked behind him and saw in amazement... Well? This is not the livery of the Qing army? The shouting in Hokkien made the bloody battle for a long time, and Zheng Jun, who had changed at least one weapon, collectively ate a ginseng fruit, and his hungry stomach seemed to be stuffed with fine white grain.
It turned out that reinforcements from Jiangnan had finally arrived! Huang Tingtong, who was named Mu Yibo by Yongli in Burma (this is Zhu Youlang's bad taste, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave him this title in history) Huang Tingtong came out from the south with a cavalry of a reinforcement battalion and a yellow banner.
“oc???” Zhuo Butai was already speechless in shock, generally speaking, cavalry will not act alone, if you add the infantry behind you, then this sudden reinforcement will have to be more than 10,000?
The cavalry on both sides slammed into each other with their sabers, and quickly turned around after the engagement. In the era when there were no cavalry charges, cavalry engagements were often fought alone. After several rounds of fighting, facing the Manchurian soldiers who had eaten hardcore crops and rode Mongolian donkeys, the Zheng cavalry suffered a big loss.
However, tactics are in the service of strategy. This was true even in a battle, and then these Manchurian soldiers, who had collected a wave of heads, found out--- why is it a flintlock pistol again?
"Ready!"
A thousand corps, composed entirely of flintlock pistols and spears, followed, and a round of smoke erupted. This is also the strongest part of the reinforcements brought by Huang Ting.
"Wheel Shot!"
At this time, Qingqi was already at the end of the crossbow, and after losing one-third, which one didn't die a few friends? After a brief period of excitement and red eyes, all that was left for them was dazed and fearful.
However, in the time of two incense sticks, Zhuo Butai's personal soldiers were bombarded by the flintlock muskezeers who had replenished them. Seeing this, the Goshkha surrounded Zhuo Butai and forcibly mounted him on his horse, and hurriedly evacuated the battlefield with him in his arms.
Seeing that his younger brother had given up control of the battle situation, he jumped to his feet angrily and scolded: Isn't this openly selling teammates, today you sell your teammates, tomorrow your teammates will sell you! Helpless, Ao Bai could only order an alternate retreat.
It has always been easy to march and retreat - who will come to the queen when retreating? For the military leaders, everyone adheres to the survival philosophy of eating meat, I will come, and you will die. As long as the troops behind the palace are dispersed, then everyone is likely to finish playing together, and after a defeat, only the pro-soldiers and a small part of the defeated soldiers will remain.
In order to protect his political life, and also to ensure the safety of the "my Qing Dynasty" court, and not to let the generals in the north have the idea of secretly communicating with Jiangning, Ao Bai gritted his teeth and made an earth-shattering decision:
"When retreating, I will press the formation, and after each Niu Lu Palace, all flag people shall not take a step back and throw the flag, otherwise they will be beheaded."
"Huh?" Goshha, who served beside him, exclaimed: Shouldn't it be the queen of those worthless Nikans?
"Go!" Ao Bai whipped the stupid minion in the face, leaving a bloody streak on the minion's dry face. "Do you still expect these wasted Nikans?"
Under the command of their masters, the minions retreated in an orderly manner. Seeing the Manchurian soldiers' "strict military appearance", the green battalion soldiers suddenly gained confidence and gradually retracted and retreated.
A Jia Lazhangjing next to him came up: "Master, while the military appearance is still in order, will you stop fighting later?" ”
Ao Bai waved his hand and said no, these green battalion soldiers who couldn't even do it with Bao Yuan Ganhui were counting on them to go and face the Zheng family, who had replenished the new force? Even those firearms with extremely fast shooting speed were a little jealous of themselves, thinking that they would have to get one or two to come back and dissolve them anyway.
At this time, Zhuo Butai ran all the way and fled to the rear of Aobai's flank, although he saved three Niulu, but the cheapest Green Battalion soldiers under his command were close to one in ten (of course, whether they could be captured after the war is another matter).
"Those who descend will not die!"
Huang Ting's cavalry brandished sabers that had collapsed or not collapsed, and shouted triumphantly from their horses. After stabbing through a few Qing soldiers who thought they were lucky, many Qing soldiers dropped their weapons and raised their hands. However, the cavalry did not detach people to guard them, but let the infantry behind them guard them.
