Yue Le regarded the former Chu Wangfu as his temporary address, and he was busy all night last night, but he didn't expect Yang Xuan to come to a way of attacking the west, putting on a posture of crossing the river in the north of the city, but actually crossing the Yangtze River in the south of the city.

After hearing the news that the loyal and righteous army crossed the river in the south of the city, Yue Le wanted to hold on to Wuchang, but Gushan Ezhen Yier and Han Dai thought that the south of the city was not as flat as Yaoting, and the terrain was relatively flat, which was conducive to cavalry combat, Yue Le led 6,000 Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, and Tong Guolai's 2,000 Han troops with white flags and 20,000 green battalion soldiers and horses went south to control the river.

Yue Le was reorganizing his soldiers and horses, and after seeing Cai Shiying and Shi Tingzhu coming, he pondered for a while, and ordered Cai Shiying to lead more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers and horses to defend the city, and ordered Shi Tingzhu to lead the 2,000 Han Army and Eight Banners to hurry after him.

Led the Manmeng Eight Banners to the front, thinking that the fifteenth uncle, a smallpox terminally ill criminal, was actually passed on to the Quartet by Yang Xuan's vicious lord, and thinking of the tragic death of Haoge, Luo Luohun, Nikan and others, Yue Le felt quite sad and indignant in his heart, and quickly whipped up his horse along the way, and encouraged everyone again and again that everyone as long as they rushed to the beachhead and drove the loyal army across the Yangtze River, so that the Qing Dynasty could once again realize the unification of the world.

After an hour of rapid marching, I saw from a distance that there were already crowds of people around Baishazhou, and there were no less than 10,000 people who crossed the Yangtze River in a posture, and they were using two-wheeled vehicles, knife carts, and everything that could be used to build defensive positions to resist the attack of the heroic Eight Banners cavalry.

Seeing this posture, Yue Le waved his hand and led the cavalry to the east to make a detour, Ilde led the cavalry to quickly detour to the opponent's flank and then launched an offensive and rushed to the opponent's sparse position, while Han Dai led another cavalry to the rear of the loyal army.

Seeing that the Tartar suddenly detoured to his flank, Guo Chonglie was slightly stunned in his heart, and hurriedly waved the command flag to kill him. In the past, the prince always said that the cavalry came and went like the wind on the plains, and everyone didn't pay attention to it.

Now seeing the Tartar cavalry killing his flank, Guo Chonglie urgently ordered the 31st standard guerrilla Yang Guangqian to lead his troops to meet him, relying on the temporarily constructed fortifications to maneuver with the Tartars.

The combat experience in the past few years told Guo Chonglie that as long as the formation could be guaranteed, it would be difficult for the Tatar cavalry to find the slightest advantage in the loyal and righteous army equipped with a large number of flintlock pistols and tiger squat cannons.

Seeing the bursts of gunfire in front of him and the shouting of killing, Guo Chonglie was about to take a breath, when suddenly a staff officer pointed to the dust raised in the south in a panic and said: "Chief soldier, look, look, what is that?" How is it so much dust, is it, is it possible that the Tartar cavalry made a detour behind us?

Guo Chonglie was shocked, raised his binoculars to look, and saw dust rolling due south, and in the dust, Guo Chonglie found that thousands of Tartars were quickly killed.

Guo Chonglie put down his binoculars and took a deep breath of cold air, although he was more prepared, he did not expect the Tartars to sneak attack his back, and he did not deploy heavy troops to defend in the south direction.

Thinking of this, Guo Chonglie pulled out his sword and said: "Brothers, the Tartars are coming from the south, the old brothers of the third target, rush with Lao Tzu and block the Tartars, even if they die, they must block the Tartar cavalry, even if they die, they can't spoil the prince's great affairs." ”

Immediately led two thousand reserves to push the two-wheeled cart, pushing the knife cart to kill the past, just arrived at a 2-meter-wide small ditch, saw the Tartar cavalry roaring, Guo Chonglie quickly asked everyone to set up a formation along the ditch, with two-wheeled vehicles, knife carts, flintlock pistols to block the Tartars.

But the ditch was too narrow, and the widest part was only about 2 meters, and the Tartar horses could jump over the ditch with a single leap, and it was difficult to stop the Tartar cavalry from rushing.

In addition, everyone rushed to the scene, which could not be effectively armed, and after killing and wounding several people with earth-shattering thunder, and killing and wounding several Tartars in front with flintlock pistols, everyone had to fall into a melee, and melee in the plains happened to be the strength of the Tartar cavalry.

Watching the Tartar cavalry continue to rush in, and seeing that the loyal and righteous army was constantly outflanked and besieged by the Tatar cavalry who were killed later, Guo Chonglie's face was pale, his hands were tightly gripping the sword, and he led the cavalry division under his jurisdiction to charge back against the Tartar cavalry.

Although this can temporarily stabilize the situation, the result is a huge number of casualties, unimaginably huge casualties.

Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, and one soldier was knocked to the ground by a war horse, and the other two soldiers next to him met him, brandishing the wolf, boring, and spear in his hand, and smashed it into this tartar who dared to offend his companion.

The two sides fought together, everyone resisted the Tartar iron cavalry with flesh and blood, although there were heavy casualties, but everyone knew that it was now a battle against the water, and there was no way to retreat, and if they retreated on this river beach, the final fate was to be slaughtered by the Tartar cavalry.

A few sober-minded commanders and captains thought of the knowledge they had learned in Zhongyitang, and shouted loudly for everyone not to panic, shouting for all brigades and squadrons to quickly form a military formation, and then melee with the Tartars in a combination of long and short terms.

In the past, in the face of the Tatar cavalry, everyone took advantage of the hills, mountains and other geographical advantages, and used the Mandarin Duck Formation to defeat the opponent's cavalry many times, why was it so weak in the face of the Tatar cavalry in the plains this time.

Despite this, there were many Tartar cavalry, and there were few responders, and everyone was still panicked, and everyone still fought on their own.

Seeing this, Guo Chonglie gritted his teeth, raised the cavalry gun in his hand and said to the more than 200 cavalrymen of the cavalry division beside him: "Brothers, the prince has entrusted us with the important task of seizing the beachhead, which is a trust in us.

Now that the Tartar cavalry army is pressing the border, our town army is unstable, at this critical moment, how can we retreat? ”

Raising the whip in his hand, he lit the cavalry gun in his hand and rushed towards the Tartar cavalry, everyone saw that Guo Chonglie was so heroic, and they also killed him one after another, so fire, the explosion sounded, and the explosion sounded.

Han Dai did not expect that Guo Chonglie would suddenly lead the cavalry division of his department to launch a desperate offensive, and saw Guo Chonglie and others constantly rushing in from the side, killing the Tartars who were rushing towards the infantry of the Loyal Army, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, and immediately slapped his horse to kill him, and led his troops to personally fight this cavalry of less than 100 people.

And this just gave the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army an opportunity, with the help of the Tartars' short adjustment of troops, the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army, who had just been overwhelmed, under the shouts of the captains and generals, quickly formed a military formation with the help of the knife carts and two-wheeled vehicles around them, and attacked the Tartars who rushed over again through flintlock pistols and earth-shattering thunder.

After 3 years and 6 periods of training, most of the generals of each battalion and 1,000 generals have received half a year of arduous training in Zhongyitang, and after a short period of confusion, everyone quickly adjusted their combat ideas, and now they use this short time to use broken two-wheeled vehicles and knife carts to quickly form a small stronghold, commanding everyone to move closer to the stronghold, and then continue to resist stubbornly with their own flesh and blood.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Wenxiu led a regiment from the 12th town to cross the Yangtze River, and saw Guo Chonglie leading his troops to fight a bloody battle with the Tartar cavalry, and led two battalions of soldiers and horses to push two-wheeled vehicles and knife carts to kill.

On the other side, Yang Xuan was watching through a telescope on the other side of the strait that the situation on the other side was extremely urgent, and after pondering for a while, he ordered the watchtower car to send a flag to the soldiers.

Chen Huaixi ordered Chen Huaixi to command all battalions of the navy to use the artillery on the gunboats of the Jingjiang machine and the artillery of the Flying Tiger battleship and the sampan boat to shell the Tartars from the flank and rear.

Ordered the transport brigades to carry soldiers across the Yangtze River.

Chen Huaixi was slightly stunned, then reacted, and immediately led three gunboats and more than 20 Flying Tiger warships to the riverside, turned around and aimed at the Tartar cavalry in the distance.

Chen Huaixi put down his binoculars and pointed to a small ditch about two meters wide where hundreds of Tartars had gathered around it, and ordered everyone to set off a cannon.

The gunners on the lower deck adjusted their muzzles and lit the arquebus, and shells rained down on the enemy, and fireballs rose from a distance, and the earth and the corpses of the bombed men and horses around them rose in the air.

The shells fell in the middle of the Tartar cavalry, killing and wounding no less than 40 Tartar cavalrymen.

Seeing Han Dai break through the position of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and seeing that the Loyal and Righteous Army was about to collapse, and the fight would return to the fighting mode that the Barbarian Qing cavalry was best at, Yue Le wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, who knew that at this critical moment, Liu Wenxiu led a regiment of soldiers and horses to kill, facing the galloping war horses, everyone pushed two-wheeled carts and knife carts to fight with the Tartar cavalry with flesh and blood.

Yue Le secretly screamed that it was a pity, and hurriedly transferred 2 more armor cavalry from Ilde, hoping to rely on the numerical advantage to expand the results of the battle, seeing that Zuo Ling Jue Luo Bahana led a armor cavalry to kill it, and the loyal army was like a wall, as long as it was stabbed lightly, it would collapse.

Who knew that at this time, three large warships and a number of Flying Tiger warships came on the river, they quickly approached the riverside, and continued to bombard with shells on the side of the ship, and for a while, the entire Tartar array was shrouded in bursts of flames, the flames were everywhere, and the sound of cannons shook the sky.

A cannonball landed beside him, Yue Le reined in the horse's reins again and again to stop the horse from retreating, although so, but there were shells all around him, and Yue Le didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

After that, although Yue Le reorganized his troops and horses many times, he had to risk the gunboat attack behind him, coupled with the endless killing of the reinforcements of the loyal army, and as the war continued, especially when it was close to noon, the Tartars became more and more unaccustomed to the hot and humid weather, and some even fell down from the war horses for no reason because of heat stroke, seeing this situation, Yue Le had to lead his troops to retreat.

The Loyal Army seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, so that the Tartars were defeated and established a strong position on the opposite bank.
