Chapter 158
Following the firecracker, the tiger squat cannon also fired in turn, shooting hundreds of scattered projectiles into the array of the Manchu Tartar cavalry, because the recoil of the artillery firing is larger, it is easy to tear the chariot, the tiger squat cannon is placed in the car formation after the pre-adjusted angle of fire, the ammunition just crossed the wooden wall of the chariot and shot diagonally from mid-air to the Manchu cavalry, the barrage covered the front dozens of Manchu Tartars in it, and the Manchu cavalry fell off their horses like duckweed in the rain.
However, the fall of dozens of cavalry could not stop the footsteps of the full tartar, and the cavalry behind crossed the corpse in front and crashed into it in a daze. In the end, the number of muskets and artillery of the Xishan Army was too small, and it did not cause too many casualties to the Mantar cavalry who rushed into battle.
After crossing the rain of bullets, the front is the chariot of the Ming army, the first thing the Tatar cavalry faces is the bamboo spear array standing on the wooden wall, countless bamboo spears stretch out from the holes in the wooden wall, pointing obliquely into the air, if it is a direct collision formation, first stop the bamboo spear stab. More than a dozen war horses neighed, wanting to turn the horse's head, but the Mantar cavalry above desperately pulled the reins, forcing the war horse to crash into the chariot in a daze, a huge impact sounded, the war horse was strung on the wooden wall of the chariot like a meat skewer, and the long bamboo spear revealed the blood-red tip through the body of the war horse. However, after the impact, the chariot only had some cracks in some positions, and the whole thing remained unmoved, and the thick sticks on the inside of the body were enough to withstand such an impact.
More than a dozen knights and war horses were pierced on the wooden wall by bamboo spears, and the Mantar cavalry behind them felt chills, and unconsciously pulled the reins, and the war horses galloped along the wooden wall to both sides. In front of the sturdy wooden walls and countless bamboo spears, the Manchu cavalry and the war horses made the same choice.
A thousand cavalrymen galloped along the chariot formation to both sides, trying to find the loopholes in the chariot formation, and at this moment, countless paper bags fell from the sky and smashed on the head of the galloping full tartar, the paper bags cracked, and white ash splashed, permeating the entire car array. "Ahem" There are full of Tartar cavalry coughing, more of them feel that their eyes are astringent, as if there is dust fascinating their eyes, and when they rub their hands, bursts of sharp pain hit, and they can't help but exhale in pain. One of the magic weapons of the Xishan Army, quicklime has made a contribution again! Half of the Manchu cavalry and horses were blinded by the lime, and they could no longer distinguish the direction of the attack after screaming.
"Retreat!" Berenikan closed his eyes tightly, pulled his horse by feeling, and fled towards his own array, and the other cavalry followed him, and some of them were fascinated by the fact that they couldn't tell the direction at all, and they circled around the chariot formation.
The Mantar offensive was thwarted! Tang Tong saw the opportunity, and together with Bai Guangen, he led his cavalry out from both wings, and killed the retreating Mantar cavalry by the tail. At that time, I was caught off guard by the full Tartars.
The combat effectiveness of the border army of the Ming Dynasty is very low, but the generals' personal soldiers are trained for a long time, if you talk about combat power, the combat effectiveness of the personal soldiers under Tang Tong and Bai Guangen is not under the ordinary Manchu Tartars, and the main reason for the defeat and victory on weekdays is that they do not have the courage to fight to the death.
At this time, most of the 100,000 Tartar troops had already retreated over the border wall to the grassland, leaving only Duoduo to lead the 3,000 Eight Banners to break down. A thousand cavalrymen had already retreated after hitting their heads in front of the chariot formation, and the eyes of the main general Nikan were even fascinated by quicklime. Looking at the Ming cavalry who came to kill him, Duoduo's face turned cold, and he personally led the rest of the cavalry against the defeated soldiers to meet him, and collided with the Ming cavalry who rushed over.
The number of the two teams is almost the same, but the key is that the speed of the Eight Banners under Duoduo in order to avoid the rout and flee back cannot be increased at all, while the speed of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen's two cavalry is the highest. The result of the collision between the two armies was that countless Manchu Tartar cavalry were knocked under the horse, and Tang Tong led the team to break through the Mantar array, leaving a hundred and ten corpses behind them.
"Damn, that's cool!" Just now, he chopped off a Manchu Tartar cavalry with a sword, and led the crowd to penetrate the Manchu Tartar formation, looking left and right to see that his own soldiers were not losing much, Tang Tong couldn't help but feel refreshed, and couldn't help but shout.
"Grandma, let's just kill it today!" Bai Guangen also shouted. The two led their subordinate cavalry to turn around, and then went around and killed. Today's battle stimulated these two people a lot, they thought they were the elite of the border army and fled back with just one face, and the 20,000 army was chased and killed by the Manchu cavalry, and suffered heavy losses, while a new recruit of Chen Yue's department, which had just been established for a few months, withstood the attack of the Manchu cavalry, which made Tang Tong and the two feel very ashamed.
Damn, he has fought for many years as the general soldier of a town, but he can't even compare to a hairy boy, this feeling is very bad, and in addition to being ashamed, the two of them no longer retain their strength, charge ahead, and start a decisive battle with Mantar. The general is the soul of the soldiers, the generals rushed up, and the morale of the pro-soldiers below was greatly boosted, and they also shouted to rush to the past, and the two departments of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, who had been defeated repeatedly, suddenly burst out with great enthusiasm for battle at this moment.
More than 2,000 cavalry, led by the two general soldiers, once again charged the enemy and fought with the Manchu cavalry.
When did these two become so brave? Looking at Tang Tong and Bai Guangen fighting on the battlefield in the distance, Chen Yue couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Lord Binggen, let's kill it too!" The iron lion had long been impatient, and howled and begged.
"Brother Tie, you take the pikemen to attack and answer Tang Tong and the others. Brother Zhengping, you go and gather the infantry under Tang Tong and the others, and take them into the battlefield in the second wave! Chen Yue ordered in a deep voice. Iron Lion and Yang Zhengping each received orders.
In the rear of the car formation, the infantry belonging to Tang Tong and Bai Guangen fled back one after another five or six thousand people, although these people were killed by the Mantars, but they had a huge number of people, and brought to the battlefield at least played a role in strengthening the momentum.
As for Chen Yue himself, he ordered the remaining soldiers to put the chariot on the pack horse and drive the chariot to the battlefield, only by relying on the chariot, his infantry can effectively resist the attack of the Manchu cavalry, although the Manchu army in front is only thousands, but who knows if there will be a Manchu army to come to reinforce?
In the battle group, looking at the desperate Ming cavalry, and then looking back at the Ming infantry approaching in the distance, Duoduo's face showed a solemn expression. Duoduo knew that most of the Eight Banners had crossed the border wall, and only his own cavalry remained in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If you fall into the heavy encirclement of the cavalry and infantry of the Ming army, then your 3,000 cavalry will suffer heavy losses, and even have the danger of annihilation. When did the Ming army become so heroic? Looking at the Ming soldiers who went forward one after another, Duoduo thought hatefully.
"Lord Wang, Baylor's eyes are getting worse and worse?" One of the Eight Banners shouted in Duoduo's ear, and Duoduo turned around and saw red blood flowing from Nikan's eyes. He had to be rescued immediately, or he wouldn't be able to save his eyes! Nikan is the grandson of the old slave, the third son of Guangluo Belle Aixin Jueluo Chu Ying, and also the nephew of Duoduo.
Thinking of this, Duoduo could only order hatefully, and the whole army immediately retreated!
The Manchu cavalry, under the leadership of Duoduo, broke through the blockade of Tang Tongbai Guangen's department, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, and fled westward in embarrassment!
ps: After getting off work, I took a three-hour car ride back to my hometown, I was tired, my state was not very good, I hastily coded a chapter, let's make do with it.
