Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle of Tuanshan

Gusts of autumn wind blew from the river, bringing a hint of coolness, and more than 400 Eight Banner Iron Cavalry and 5,000 Guards Battalion troops outside the deserted Tuanshan Village confronted each other from a distance of thousands of meters, and the battlefield was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Sima Yu, whose armor was slightly disheveled, stood in front of the formation surrounded by Wu Song, Huang Jingtian, Wutu Gu and others, quietly staring at the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in front of him, and the cloak behind him had been completely damaged in the battle just now and had been lost.

In the war just now, there were only 28 of the 200 brocade guards under Sima Yu's command, and all of them were injured, even Sima Yu, Wu Song, and Wutu Gu also suffered a lot of losses under the siege of the Qing soldiers, if it weren't for the high-quality armor on their bodies, I am afraid they would have been painted.

Sima Yu, who is currently the weakest of the three, was also not injured under the desperate protection of Jinyiwei.

"Lord, do you want to attack before local reinforcements arrive!"

Wu Song, who was on Sima Yu's right back, looked at the Eight Banners Cavalry on the opposite side, who showed no signs of attacking.

Wu Song believed that at this time, the reinforcements on their side had just arrived, and the number was superior, and it was the time when the morale was at its peak, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners on the opposite side had just gone through a fierce battle, and the soldiers under Hu Tu had become a tired division, and now they had a great hope of winning the attack.

"Lord, at the moment, the Qing army is obviously waiting for their follow-up reinforcements to arrive, and now our army will take the initiative to attack the other party will inevitably avoid fighting, the other side is all cavalry, our army is all heavy infantry, it is impossible to catch up with them, and once the army is too fast, it is bound to be chaotic, it is very likely to be taken advantage of them, rather than so, it is better to wait for work, and wait for their reinforcements to arrive and then defeat the main force of the Qing army in Wanglong County in one fell swoop, so that we can transfer the people in the future"

Huang Jingtian objected when he heard this.

"What Jingtian said is reasonable, since they want to fight, then we will have a dignified battle with him, will my 5,000 elite guards battalion soldiers still be afraid of 400 Eight Banner cavalry and 10,000 rabble slave army" Sima Yu said excitedly when he heard this.

Although Wu Song is strong in force, he is not a soldier, and he is not good at the way of fighting between the two armies, and the situation on the battlefield is not as clear as Huang Jingtian.

In the contest with the Eight Banners Cavalry just now, although Sima Yu suffered some losses, they also measured the approximate strength of the Qing army.

Hu Tu and Bach really underestimated the strength of the Guards Battalion, and they actually tried in vain to eliminate Sima Yu and them in one battle.

As everyone knows, this is exactly the situation that Sima Yu is happy to see.

Although the strength of the Eight Banners cavalry on the opposite side is strong, after all, there are only more than 400 horsemen, and the 5,000 soldiers of the Guards Battalion are all hoplites, which is suitable for the battle of the two armies.

Coupled with the huge difference in the strength of the generals of the two armies, the possibility of success is very low for Hutu and Bach to use the cavalry in their hands to attack the battle formation of the Guards battalion.

Before, Sima Yu was also worried that the Qing army in Wanglong County would not be able to defend because of their arrival, after all, with the mobility of Hu Tu and Bach with the elite cavalry in their hands, it was enough to cause huge trouble to Sima Yu and them, and there was a risk of destruction if they were not careful.

And now that the Qing army is dispatched, how can Sima Yu easily let go of this opportunity to fight a war.

Time passed slowly, and about a quarter of an hour later, with billowing dust and smoke, from a distance, a dense army of slaves finally appeared behind the Qing army.

At the front of the slave army, the slave army all rode on their horses, and ran to Hutu and Bach first, escorted by their own soldiers.

"I've seen two adults!"

Coming to Hutu and Bach, Xie Fei turned over and dismounted and saluted the two.

In terms of the scale of the army, Xie Fei far surpassed Hu Tu and Bach, but his status in the Qing army was far inferior to Hu Tu and Bach, Niu Lu Ezhen, who were born in the Eight Banners.

Behind Xie Fei, the more than 10,000 slave troops under his command also slowly stopped.

This slave army was established on the basis of more than 300 slave troops led by Xie Fei who survived the battle of Luzhou after Hu Tu and Bach came to Wanglong County.

Looking at the Eight Banners cavalry, which had been sharply reduced to more than 100 people under Hu Tu's command, Xie Fei's eyes also flashed with solemnity when he looked at the military formation of the guards battalion opposite.

In the hearts of Xie Fei and other slave soldiers, these Eight Banner Cavalry are synonymous with bravery and invincibility.

Looking at the chaotic slave army, Hutu and Bach couldn't help frowning, and Hutu spoke up.

In this battle, the two of them did not have much hope for the slave army under their command, but hoped that they could drag the guard battalion with the advantage of numbers, and then they took the opportunity to lead their troops around the rear to flank and attack, breaking the rich guard battalion army in front of them in one fell swoop.

"Yes, sir!"

Xie Fei immediately received the order, and after speaking, he began to order the people to rectify the slave army.

"Woo~"

In the desolate sound of the horn, the slave army quickly completed the reorganization, and under the command of Xie Fei, it was divided into three lines: left, center, and right and began to charge the guard battalion, attacking in the center and attacking the flanks on the left and right.

"Archer!"

Looking at the slave army that was slowly rushing in, Huang Jingtian said coldly. 、

The spear and shield array in the front row quickly cracked a few holes, and 500 heavily armored archers quickly rushed out of the cracks and stood in front of the formation in five columns.

"Lift!"

"Positioning arrows!"

With Huang Jingtian's order, the archers bent their bows and drew arrows, and the archers in the first column quickly shot the arrows in their hands after receiving the order, and marked the position 100 meters away.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Soon, the slave army attacking the middle lane had already crossed a distance of 100 meters, and the five rows of archers began to release arrows one after another, and waves of arrows quickly poured down from the sky towards the slave army.

"Ah~"

Immediately a continuous scream sounded among the unarmored slave army, and a large number of slave troops were knocked to the ground by sharp arrows, and the near vanguard troops attacking the center lost almost more than a thousand men in several rounds of arrow rain.

"Kill!"

After quickly shooting a few waves of arrows, the 500 archers quickly retreated to the military formation again, replaced with broadswords in their hands, and the spear and shield soldiers in the front row quickly rose to the top under the command of Huang Jingtian.

"Drink, drink~"

In the sound of neat shouts, the steel city wall composed of spears and iron shields began to move forward slowly, and a solemn evil aura spread, forcing some slave soldiers who rushed to the front to stop in front of the gun array.

"Ah~"

However, the other slave troops surging from the rear quickly pushed them up, and the slave soldiers in the front row quickly died under the stabbing guns back and forth.

The two armies finally collided together in an instant, countless blood sprays, screams one after another, and as soon as the two armies came into contact with hundreds of slave soldiers, they had already fallen in front of the guard battalion.

"Kill!"

Just as the spear and shield array formed by the spear and shield soldiers of the guard battalion collided with the slave army, the slave army that attacked from both flanks had also been killed.

"Sword and shield hand, up!"

Seeing this, Huang Jingtian ordered loudly.

"Ah~"

500 soldiers armed with round shields and broadswords on the left and right wings of the Guards Battalion quickly caught up, holding shields in their left hands and knives in their right hands, while blocking the attacks of the slave army, while waving the broadsword in their hands to harvest the lives of the slave army.

How could these strong men who had just been forcibly drawn be the opponents of the well-armed and well-trained Heavy Guards Battalion, and a large number of slave troops quickly fell under the command of the sword and shield men.

Rows of slave soldiers rushed forward one after another to attack the Guards Battalion formation, and the Guards Battalion soldiers in Huang Jingtian's hands also began to devote themselves to the battlefield to block the attack of the Slave Army.

Under the continuous impact of the slave army, most of the 5,000 soldiers of the Guards Battalion were soon put into battle, and less than 400 people were left to guard Sima Yu, Huang Jingtian and others in the battle.

"Attack!"

As soon as the fighter plane arrived, Hutu and Bach immediately ordered.

Both of them are veteran generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they see the situation on the field very clearly.

Nowadays, although the slave army is constantly charging the Guards battalion with the advantage of numbers, it is bound to be unable to last.

In less than a quarter of an hour, nearly 2,000 men had been lost, and the Guards battalion showed no signs of loosening.

Therefore, they must lead their cavalry to break through the military formation of the guard camp and disrupt the local formation.

When the Guards battalion was dispersed, the slave army that swarmed in there might be hope to defeat it, or else they would be defeated, which was unacceptable to the proud Hutu and Bach.

"Woo~"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

With the sound of whimpering horns, more than 400 cavalry of the Eight Banners quickly started and began to charge towards the horns of the Guards Battalion from between the central army of the slave army and the army on the right flank.

"Disperse!"

The rolling cavalry quickly attacked the Guards Battalion in a conical formation, and just when the two armies were about to fight, and the spears in the hands of the Eight Banners cavalry were already raised, Huang Jingtian's loud shout sounded in the military array.

The soldiers of the Guards Battalion, which was located between the front and the left, quickly dispersed, and looked at the Guards Camp formation that was revealed, and the two people who were riding on war horses changed in shock.

I saw that 10 meters away from the dispersed military formation, a small gun shield array composed of 200 soldiers reappeared in front of me, and the sharp tips of the spears emitted a faint cold light.

However, at this time, it was too late to change the formation in such a short distance, and the galloping Eight Banners cavalry formation quickly collided with the gun and shield array in front of them, and the neighing and screaming of the war horses and the sound of spears piercing the body continued to sound, dozens of Eight Banner cavalry immediately fell under the gun array, and the gun and shield array of the guards battalion also continued to retreat under the impact of the Eight Banners cavalry, but it was still tenaciously blocking the front of the cavalry.

These two hundred soldiers of the Guards Battalion are the most elite of the entire Guards Battalion, and are intended to be used as a spearhead against the elite enemy forces.

The follow-up castration of the Eight Banners cavalry also collided together, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and the offensive of the Eight Banners cavalry was immediately broken, and even the war horse under the command of Hu Tu also fell under the gun, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I am afraid that he would have died.

After a few rolls on the ground, when Hu Tugang was about to jump into the battle again, a huge black shadow jumped out from the gun array of the guard battalion, and the two large embroidered spring knives in his hands fluttered left and right, cutting the two Eight Banner soldiers to the ground at once.

"Hey, hey!"

Hao Ran, who rushed out first, was a vulture bone, and with a sneer from his mouth, he swung his knife and killed Hu Tu.

In the previous battle, the vulture bone beat the vulture bone can be said to be extremely aggrieved, and at this time, it can still be such a chance to beat the water dog.

Immediately following behind the vulture bones, Wu Song and Huang Jingtian also jumped out and began to kill the Eight Banners cavalry who were forced in front of the formation.

"Close!"

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry had finally stopped, Huang Jingtian ordered loudly while brandishing a broadsword to kill.

With his order, the two groups of soldiers of the Guards Battalion, who had just dispersed, joined together again, trapping all the cavalry under Hutu and Bach.
