On the official road from Ruzhou to Longmen, the sound of rolling horses' hooves shook the earth.

The three thousand Han troops were running under the white flag, riding horses in front, and nearly three thousand Wei troops and horses were chasing after them.

The cavalry of the Qing army was chased by the Tiger Battalion for a while, and from time to time some cavalry fell off their horses, but after Shen Zhixiang came to his senses, the situation changed.

The Qing army, with its more skillful horsemanship, coupled with the cavalry turning back from time to time to release arrows, made the Xuanhu battalion dare not chase too close, leaving a gap of more than 200 steps between the two sides.

At this time, forty miles away from Ruzhou, Wang Guangtai led 3,000 infantry troops and had already set up a formation in the middle of the road.

Ruzhou is mountainous, the territory of the hills and forests are undulating, the official road on both sides are low hills, trees are all over, although the foot soldiers can do, but it is not conducive to the cavalry to pass, the cavalry wants to escape, the best route is to take the flat official road.

When attacking Ruzhou, Gao Yihuan adopted the method of encircling three and missing one, he knew that the defenders in the city, especially the Eight Banners, saw that the city had fallen, and would not do unnecessary consumption, and would inevitably break through to the north, so he ambushed heavy troops outside the city gate.

In addition to Wang Deren's 3,000 men guarding the road in Luti Mountain in the north, he also asked Wang Guangtai to set off before dawn and came to the north of Ruzhou City forty miles to wait.

The reason why this distance was chosen is because after the cavalry galloped forty miles, both men and horses would be tired.

At this time, 3,000 people blocked the attack on the official road, and Xu Heihu and Hu Dawei led the cavalry to pursue, which was bound to annihilate this Tartar army in Ruzhou.

After the Qing army entered Henan, they did all kinds of evil, so that the Wei soldiers had already held back their anger.

On the official road, a flag, hunting with the wind, Wang Guangtai rode a horse and stood under a big flag, holding a big knife, not moving at all, and the cloak on his body was blown by the wind, and the killing atmosphere spread to the military array.

At this time, 2,000 soldiers were placed in the middle of the road, and the soldiers placed horses in front of the formation, set up obstacles, and blocked the road.

More than a dozen Fran cannons were placed in front of the formation, and the gunners were busy loading, adjusting the gun positions, and lighting torches to stand aside.

The spearmen in black armor were lined up in six rows, and the spears of the forest stood tall, and the heads of the spears were shining cold. Men of fire in red armor stood behind them.

At this time, the military academy, wearing iron armor and holding a war knife in his hand, walked in front of the soldiers, and checked the equipment and mental state of the soldiers in turn.

On the low hills on both sides of the official road, there were 500 soldiers on each side to prevent the Tartars from abandoning their horses and fleeing.

Suddenly, the earth shook, and the military formation was about a little commotion, and the military academy immediately shouted angrily.

At this time, a brigade in front of him hurriedly looked south, only to see the yellow dust rolling in the distance, the horses' heads were crowded, and thousands of cavalry wearing white armor were rolling along the official road, layer upon layer, as if the river had suddenly flooded.

The galloping momentum of the cavalry was very amazing, and as soon as the Adam's apple moved, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately hurried to the rear, came to Wang Guangtai's horse, and clenched his fists and reported: "General, the Tartars are coming!" ”

Needless to say, Wang Guangtai has a better vision when riding on a horse. He had already seen countless horse heads rushing forward, and he had no intention of stopping.

What are you kidding, the thousands of cavalry of the Tiger Battalion behind are coming from behind, one of them has a black face with a long axe, and the other has a red face with a knife, and they are even more brave, where does Shen Zhixiang dare to stop.

At this time, Shen Zhixiang, who was galloping, had already seen the Wei army in front of him, and immediately complained in his heart, "Gao Yihuan, the straight lady thief, it's not enough to cover up, and he actually set up troops to block it!" ”

He had already seen the bright spear array in front of him, and he couldn't help but scold Gao Yihuan in his heart, but what could he do, unless he could give birth to wings, he could only grit his teeth and bump into it.

Helplessly, the cavalry behind was chasing urgently, and as soon as the horses stopped, they would inevitably be smashed to pieces by the cavalry who caught up.

Shen Zhixiang looked back at the cavalry chasing behind him, his face leaked a hideous color, and suddenly let out an angry roar, "Rush over and crash into them!" ”

Generally speaking, the cavalry will not be stupid to directly collide with the infantry formation with a tight formation, and must first use light cavalry to attack with arrows, and after the infantry formation is loosened, the heavy cavalry with men and horses will repeatedly chisel through the infantry formation, until the infantry formation collapses under the impact of the horse army, and then urge the horses to harvest from behind.

But at this time, Shen Zhixiang had no room to release arrows in a roundabout way, and second, he had no time to mess around, he had to break through the barrier before the Wei cavalry collided with him, otherwise he would be sandwiched at both ends and become "meat sandwiched in buns".

There is no way to attack his waist in this terrain, so he can only play hard, break the front of the enemy soldiers in one round, and then rush through.

Fortunately, the Eight Banners have gone through countless battles, and when they encounter enemy soldiers, they all collapse in one rush.

Although they felt that the infantry in the way was different, they still raised their spears without hesitation and accelerated their charges.

Wang Guangtai was a little excited when he saw the rolling cavalry, but he didn't want me to become the first person in the Wei Wu army to resist the impact of the Tatar cavalry.

Thinking of this, Wang Guangtai couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and immediately raised one hand high, clenched his hand into a fist, and shouted the order, "The enemy is nearly 500 paces, the artillery is bombarded, the pikemen are squatting, the bird guns are ready to fire, the enemy is advancing fifty steps, and the platoon is firing in turn." ”

The spearmen in the front row, crouching down as instructed, stuck the tail of their guns on the ground, held their guns in both hands, and raised the tips of their guns diagonally forward, forming a dense forest of steel.

The enemy cavalry charged straight into formation, and with every step forward, a row of sharp spears was waiting for them.

Six-layered spearmen, spears stabbed obliquely, and the cold and shining spear heads are chilling.

The firecrackers in the back lit the firerope one after another, holding the guns in their hands, ready to shoot.

The gunner of the Fran machine had already adjusted his running position, and stood aside with a torch in his hand, just waiting for the order.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army was a mile away in a blink of an eye, and in the Wei army's array, three drums sounded, and the entire large array quieted down.

The most important thing for the infantry army to fight against the cavalry is a dense formation, and to maintain the formation, it depends on military law like a mountain, and the order is prohibited.

In the Wei army, as long as the military order, even if the arrows are overwhelming, they can't move.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army slammed the belly of the horse, raising the speed to the extreme, the horse's hooves smashed on the ground and made a dull sound, and the spearmen in front of them, seeing the cavalry that collided, felt the heavy murderous aura, so that they could not breathe, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and clenched their weapons with both hands.

At this time, several archers in the Wei army hurriedly shot out a few positioning arrows, and the arrows were inserted fifty paces away in front of the formation.

"General, the enemy is five hundred paces!" Behind Wang Guangtai, a general manager in charge of observing the distance reminded urgently.

Wang Guangtai immediately waved his hand, "Artillery team, release!" ”

At this time, the old men of the Eight Banners in the gallop, with many years of experience in battle formations, immediately realized that they had entered the range of the Wei army's artillery, so they fell on horseback one after another to reduce the probability of being hit by cannonballs.

The rumbling hooves sounded like rolling thunder, and the Qing cavalry rolled up the rolling yellow dust.

The majesty of the cavalry impact was like lightning and thunder in a sandstorm, rushing towards the Wei army.

The artillery soldiers in front of the formation saw the majesty of the cavalry, and the artillery commander's face was hideous, and he let out an angry roar, "Release!" ”

Seeing the flag waving, the gunner quickly brought the torch closer to the lead, and immediately a puff of white smoke rose and sparks roared into the medicine room.

"Bang Bang Bang" Franc machine gun emitted a series of muffled sounds, and between the muzzle and the gun, a large amount of white smoke rose up, covering the entire front.

The soldiers did not check the results of the battle, so they waved their hands to disperse the smoke and dust, and according to the usual training, one of the soldiers pulled out the iron bolt, one took away the sub-gun, and the other reloaded the sub-gun with pre-loaded ammunition, and then inserted the iron bolt, and the torch approached, and fired another shot.

More than a dozen cannonballs roared out, smashed on the ground, and suddenly splashed a cloud of dust.

A war horse neighed, and an iron bullet hit the head of the Qing army's horse, and the war horse was carried forward, and the cavalry and war horse on the horse rolled on the ground together.

Before the cavalry could turn over, he was directly stepped on by the cavalry behind him, his spine was broken, his body was cocked, he stiffened, and he fainted in pain.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry behind him drowned him like a torrent, and under the trampling of ten thousand hooves, it became a mass of flesh in a moment, and he was trampled so that his mother didn't recognize it......
