Chapter 590, Collapse
The city tower of Liaoyang had already appeared in Duoduo's eyes, but the more than twenty model army cavalry still followed unhurriedly. This made Duoduo very vigilant, because according to normal reasoning, it should be impossible for their main force to catch up with him, so what is the use of these twenty or so cavalry still following? This doubt made Dodor very nervous.
Duoduo continued to approach Liaoyang with the remnants of his army, and he suddenly found that far away on the official road in front of him, it seemed that someone had built a one-man high earthen wall there.
"What's going on? How could such a wall be built here? Dodor thought to himself.
Just as he was wondering, the earthen wall suddenly sank downward, revealing a large line of cavalry behind it. It turned out that this earthen wall was actually those gray-green camouflage nets erected by the cavalry of the model army before, and from a distance, it did look like an earthen wall.
"This is ......" There is still a certain distance between the two sides, and Duoduo ran in a hurry and did not bring binoculars, so he couldn't see clearly for a while.
"Get on your horse, line up, approach in small steps." Zheng Sen ordered.
The cavalrymen who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped onto their horses and pointed the tips of their long cavalry spears high into the sky. They formed a formation as dense as a wall and began to move slowly. Zheng Sen also got on his horse, holding a spear with a small red pennant and walked at the head of the procession. He looked at the Qing army opposite, and suddenly somehow such an idea popped up in his mind: "According to the way "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is written, should I stop them and shout: 'The thief will leave!'" A family has been waiting here for a long time! ’”
However, Zheng Sen had absolutely no chance to do so, because in the high-speed hedging, he did not have time to say such things.
But in fact, high-speed hedging is also non-existent. Because the Qing army could no longer rush up. When the cavalry appeared before him, Dordor felt as if he had been struck on his helmet with a large hammer, and his whole body was wooden, and for a long time he could not think about anything, and he stared blankly at the horses on the other side, lined up, with his strangely long spears, and began to approach him at a slower pace like a wall.
"Master, it's the enemy, it's the enemy's Iron Float!" He Luo would shout loudly, and his voice became sharp and thin because of the fright, almost like a eunuch.
"Iron Float!" All the Qing soldiers panicked.
"Tiefutu" is the Qing army's name for the heavy cavalry unit of the model army, the heavy cavalry of the model army not only wears armor all over the body, but also has a strong horse armor, using a spear up to more than four meters long, and the power is amazing in the impact battle. In the vicinity of Beijing, the two white flags had fought head-on with the heavy cavalry of the Model Army, and Duoduo himself was present at that time. As a result, they were crushed. If there was anyone in the Qing army who was most familiar with the heavy cavalry of the model army, it would definitely be the team of the two white flags. But if there is anyone in the Qing army who is most afraid of the heavy cavalry of the model army, it is also two white flags.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was still a little far, and the Qing army did not see clearly that the neat queue like heavy cavalry, and the team holding high the spears was actually not the "Iron Floating Tu" equipped with human and horse equipment.
"We can't beat them......" Dodor's lips began to tremble, looking at the forest-like spears opposite, there were at least one or two thousand men. One or two thousand "Iron Floating Massacre", even if there are five or six thousand people themselves, they have to hide and go. And now, there are less than 500 people here, and they are all extremely tired remnants, how can they stop one or two thousand "Iron Floating Massacre"?
"Let's run for their lives!" Dodor shouted, and at the same time turned on his horse, turned his horse's head, whipped the horse's ass hard, and ran in any direction. The rest of the Qing soldiers also scattered and fled.
If everything is normal, it will still not be easy to catch more than 400 cavalry scattered out. In fact, not to mention more than 400 cavalry, but 400 pigs, running around, it is not easy for a thousand or so people to catch them without dropping. However, the state of the Qing army was not normal, they fled for a day and a night, and both men and horses had almost reached their limit. Many Qing soldiers drove the horses to run only a few dozen hundred paces, and the horses fell to the ground with weak legs, and by the way, they also threw the cavalry riding on them into the mud. Dordor was in slightly better shape and barely able to run, but his horse had a major problem, which was that it was too conspicuous.
Duoduo's horse was a mixed-breed Arabian horse that he had bought from Guan Ningjun at a high price, and compared to other horses, this horse had better nutritional status, so it was naturally more prominent than other horses at this time.
Zheng Sen, who was still leading the light cavalry to slowly accelerate, was a little stunned to see that the Qing army in front of him suddenly scattered and fled. But fortunately, this situation had been planned in advance, Zheng Sen held the flag in his hand high and rotated it in the air a few times, and then reversed it a few times. The other soldiers disbanded their formation, threw down their long spears, drew their sabers, and roared after them.
The twenty or so model army light cavalry who had been hanging far behind Duoduo also got on their horses, drew their sabers, and rushed towards the scattered Qing army. Compared to the more than 1,000 cavalry brought by Zheng Sen, their horses were in worse condition because of the same lack of rest, but they also had an advantage that others did not have, that is, they kept an eye on Duoduo.
Along the way, Dodor issued a lot of instructions. And all this is seen by them. The warriors were almost certain that the man riding a horse similar to their warhorse was Dord. So as soon as they started, they went straight to Dordor and chased after him. The fatigue of their horses was not much different from that of Dordor and his riding skills were quite good, so they could not catch up immediately for a while. But their actions actually pointed out the goals of the other cavalry.
While the other light cavalry scattered to attack, Zheng Sen, with his guard of more than a dozen people, did not immediately plunge into pursuit, but stopped to observe the battlefield. Soon they discovered that the twenty or so light horsemen had been chasing a target. The target rode a half-breed Arabian horse.
"Shizi, look at the one over there, it's probably Duoduo, right?" One of the guards pointed to the fleeing Dordor Road.
"It should be." Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Let's go over and stop him!" ”
The mounts of Zheng Sen and his guards were a little different from ordinary soldiers, their horses were all selected from the best, and their own quality was better than that of ordinary model army light cavalry, and of course better than horses sold for money. Plus after a period of rest, I ate beans again. So at this time, the speed of these war horses naturally far exceeded that of Duoduo. More than a dozen people chased after Duoduo, but in the time of a bag of cigarettes, they had already surpassed the twenty or so light cavalry who were originally chasing after Duoduo, and they were getting closer and closer to Duoduo.
Dodor had thrown away everything that was weighty on him, but when he turned his head to look back, he was desperate to find that his opponent's cavalry was getting closer and closer. Although he knew intellectually that it was almost impossible for him to escape, he still waved his whip frantically, trying to make the horse run faster. However, this did not make his mount faster, but on the contrary, the horse fell to the ground as soon as his front legs went limp.
It is very dangerous for a horse to fall at full speed. Fortunately, Duoduo was a skilled horseman, and he was quick, and in a moment of crisis, he pressed his hands on the saddle and retracted his feet, and jumped off the horse, and rolled on the ground, unloading his strength, but he was not hurt.
But when he stood up, he saw that the dozen or so cavalrymen had already caught up. They form a ring and put themselves inside.
Duoduo was unarmed at this time, and he was tired and hungry, so naturally he could not be the opponent of more than a dozen cavalrymen. However, he immediately made a decision, bent his knees, fell to his knees, and shouted in Chinese: "Sinners will surrender, sinners will surrender!" Sinners are willing to shout open the gates of Liaoyang! ”
