Chapter 879: Wu Ping, who has no way out

Under Murcha's desperate gaze, more than 2,000 reinforcements of the Ming army rushed over and merged with the previous Ming army, and the number of Ming troops behind the low wall reached 3,000.

Looking at the outnumbered Ming army behind the low wall, and thinking of their powerful and sharp firearms, Murcha was desperate to cross the ditch.

Crossing in a different place? The Ming army will definitely move with it, and there will be no chance at all.

The ditch could not be crossed, and the Ming army's camp could not be attacked. Looking at the city wall of Ningyuan, which was less than three miles, Murcha knew that it was very difficult to enter the city.

Moreover, the fighting here is so lively, but the Qing army in Ningyuan City did not go out of the city to cooperate with the outside world, which only shows one problem, that is, the Qing army in Ningyuan City was also scared, and did not dare to go out of the city to attack at all.

"General, look." At that moment, one of his men shouted pointing to the right.

Murcha turned his head to look and saw that the Ming army out of the trench was lining up in a neat line, slowly attacking his side. And in the distant barracks, more Ming troops continued to open out of the barracks.

The Ming army is finally coming to attack! Murcha sighed. If at the beginning, he wished that the Ming army would take the initiative to attack, it would be a great opportunity for him to break the enemy.

But now, having just lost a thousand men, Murcha knew that his soldiers were cold. Moreover, the strength of the Ming army is far more than its own, and it is really impossible to say who will kill the deer in the decisive battle at this time.

"General, I'm going to defeat the damned Akito!" Looking at the slowly approaching Ming army, the leader of the seven hundred cavalry asked for orders from Murcha.

Murcha nodded and agreed to the leader's request. Now that the infantry has suffered heavy losses, one can only count on these seven hundred cavalry.

As soon as the leader whistled, the seven hundred cavalry began to form the queue. Slowly opened the horse's hooves towards the Ming army array.

Seeing the Qing cavalry attacking, Wu Ping, who personally went out of the city to command, immediately passed down the generals, and the sound of gold sounded, and the attacking 3,000 Ming troops immediately stopped and put on a defensive posture.

At this time, the Ming troops in the camp continued to pour out, and the number reached more than a thousand, and they began to line up under the command of officers at all levels.

Looking at the Ming army's phalanx, the commander of the cavalry knew that it would be difficult to attack, so he tried to bypass the phalanx to attack the Ming army that had just left the camp.

However, when the cavalry procession passed sideways from the Ming army's formation, bursts of fire rang out, and hundreds of projectiles fell on the running Qing army's array.

Dozens of horses were hit by projectiles, and the cavalrymen on horseback broke their bones. It was easy to run out of the range of the Ming army's array, but he was angry to find that the Ming army, which had just come out of the camp, had formed a defensive phalanx with its back against the ditch.

Although the phalanx that the Ming army had just set up was not strictly organized, the cavalry of the Qing army did not dare to attack. Because the artillery in the barracks had begun to fire.

Just as the 700 Qing cavalry attacked the Ming army out of the camp, the Ming army on the inside of the ditch began to try to climb over the ditch.

Murcha tried to send his soldiers to stop the Ming army from crossing over, and the Qing archers opened their bows and arrows to shoot at the top of the ditch, and the Ming army did not show weakness, hundreds of Ming gunners stood on the low wall and began to shoot at the Qing army.

From time to time, soldiers fell to the ground under the fire of both sides. And a large number of Ming troops have taken the opportunity to slide down the ditch from the low wall and are climbing up from the ditch.

"Kill them all!" The Ming army, which had just climbed the ditch, naturally did not form a queue, and it was a good opportunity to attack and fight. Murcha gave an order, and the remaining 2,000 Han soldiers attacked the Ming army who climbed to the side of the ditch.

"Boom, boom, boom" explosions sounded one after another, and it was the Ming army throwing grenades to block the Qing army's attack.

At this time, everyone was red-eyed, and Murcha would definitely not let go of the opportunity to annihilate this Ming army. As long as this Ming army is annihilated, Murcha will be able to lead his soldiers over the ditch and enter Ningyuan City.

In the face of a series of grenade explosions, the Han soldiers finally rushed to the edge of the ditch and fought with the Ming army.

This was the first time since the battle that there were two thousand Han soldiers on one side and three thousand Ming troops on the other. Once the battle was made, it entered a fiery state.

As far as the soldiers of the Han Army Banner are concerned, they have been fascinated by the despicable methods of the Ming army, and now they have finally seized this opportunity to kill the enemy head-on, and naturally they cannot let it go.

As for the attacking Ming army, they must entangle this Qing infantry, as long as they can be entangled for a moment and a half, the main force of the Ming army on the outside of the ditch can rush to encircle and annihilate the Qing army. It's an opportunity to make a difference.

Seeing the fierce battle taking place here, Wu Ping immediately ordered to blow the horn of the attack. The phalanx of 3,000 infantry led by Hou Yi quickly moved and attacked the battlefield a mile away. And Wu Ping also personally led the 3,000 soldiers out of the city to the battlefield.

As for the 700 Qing cavalry cruising in the distance, the Ming army that attacked these two rounds attacked them at will. Wu Ping was determined to use one infantry to entangle the Qing cavalry, and as long as the remaining one arrived at the battlefield in time to surround the Qing infantry, victory would be on the side of the Ming army.

As long as the Qing infantry is eliminated, what kind of waves can the Qing cavalry with only 700 people left?

The marching Ming army naturally could not put up a strict defensive line, and the Qing cavalry leader finally saw the opportunity and led his cavalry to rush towards the Ming infantry in front.

He calculated very well that the Ming infantry at the front was already approaching the battlefield, and as long as he defeated them, he could calmly deal with the second Ming army coming from behind. As long as he can entangle these two Ming armies, the main general Murcha can lead the infantry to annihilate the Ming army defending the ditch. In this way, even if the Ming army cannot be completely defeated, there is no problem for your side to cross the ditch and enter Ningyuan City.

"Line up for defense!" Looking at the Qing cavalry that was rushing quickly, the battalion was roaring fiercely.

The marching Ming army hurriedly stopped and turned to face the Qing cavalry.

However, where did the formation change during the march, and before the Ming army behind could erect a gun array, the cavalry of the Qing army had already rushed into the array.

The cavalry that was speeding up was so terrible that the infantry that did not form an array was like a loose pile of sand in the face of the cavalry's onslaught, and it was impossible to stand alone.

Looking at the Qing cavalry that collided at high speed, the Ming soldiers were extremely frightened one by one, some tried to raise their spears or shields to block, but more people were trying to dodge and avoid the impact of the cavalry coming at high speed.

The soldiers who blocked were hit by the high-speed rushing war horses and flew in the air and spat blood, and the Eight Banners soldiers on the horses waved their sabers and easily cut off the heads one after another.

In an instant, the Ming army array was torn apart, and the Qing cavalry had already rushed through the Ming army array, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.

Looking at the tragic situation of Hou Yi's battalion in front, Wu Ping was extremely angry, and he realized that compared with the real Eight Banners, his own combat effectiveness was far, far away. But at this time, there is no way back.

ps: Dreaming up a new book at night leads to insomnia, and I haven't fallen asleep at four or five o'clock, and I can't sleep with a tube, so I have no choice but to get up and code two chapters, so it's updated so early today.
