Chapter 358: Leading the way
"Stop!"
The Red Banner Cavalry of the Qing Army, who was galloping, suddenly heard Azig shouting, although he was very puzzled, but soon he quickly stopped, and many people's mounts were snorting.
"Prince Ying?"
The red flags next to it are all unified? I wondered very much, obviously those Ming troops had entered the village in front of them, and they were about to catch up, so why didn't they continue to pursue.
Azig only showed thick eyebrows and big eyes that sparkled, and behind him was a plain, but further it turned into a slope, which was not good for the cavalry to attack.
But since it is not good for the cavalry, the other party is also a cavalry, why should he run that way?
It shows that the army did not notice that it was impossible for him to lead his troops to pursue, and there must be a conspiracy on the other side's approach, but Azig didn't come up with a reason for thinking about it for a while, he called the cavalry out of habit, and he should always be cautious when he sees such unfavorable terrain.
Noticing that the Eight Banners powerhouse behind him was a little impatient, Azig suddenly had a touch of disdain in his eyes, when did he become like a mother-in-law like Dorgon, and the other party was just three thousand Han dogs.
Thinking of this, Azig drew his knife and shouted:
"The warriors of the Red Flag, the Han Dog is in front, the first to take down their heads will be rewarded with a future, but Na Ming will be kept, and this king will skin him alive!"
"Hahaha."
"This future must be mine!"
Azig shouted to the end, his eyes were already full of killing intent, and the surrounding Qing cavalry drew out those glittering tiger-headed broadswords, and slapped their horses with a wolf howl.
The cavalry of the Qing army naturally formed a charging cone-shaped formation, and Azig took the most courageous more than 100 Baya cavalry as the pioneers, and everyone had a look of excitement on their faces.
More than 5,000 Qing troops were stepping on the ground with red flag iron horses, and the rumbling sound shook the heavens and the earth, and if people who didn't understand the situation were afraid to think that more than 10,000 cavalry were rushing towards this side, they would have been frightened to the point of urine.
But what happened next was very weird, it stands to reason that the Qing army's side was so moving that the other party either immediately got on his horse and rushed out to meet the battle, or he broke up and fled, but now no matter what the momentum of his side is, there is still no sound in the distance, and even a figure can not be seen.
Azig, who rushed to the front, finally felt that something was wrong, and took a gap to look around, and suddenly noticed that the ground around him was a little unusual, as if it had moved.
"Not good, quick-"
Azig's words stopped abruptly, and a cannon sound was heard in the distance, and the ground around the Red Banner Iron Cavalry suddenly cracked, and a circle of extremely deep cracks appeared.
But there was more to it than that, there were many sharp wooden bamboos in these cracks, and the Eight Banners often ended up wearing men and horses when they were planted, and the painful wails and the neighing of horses suddenly turned their heads occupied the entire battlefield.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"
Azig roared angrily, but found that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the Qing cavalry were looking to the east, and he also looked over, but found that the smoke and dust were rolling on the horizon over there, and the sound of neat stomping on the ground gradually came.
Even on his horse, Azig could feel the earth tremble, and his eyes widened when he saw the other man's true face.
"This, this is ......"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
In the smoke and dust, in addition to the sound of neat and orderly steps stepping on the ground, it was the word "killing" that surrounded the ears, and even many of the mounts of the Qing cavalry were snorting uneasily.
"Prince Ying, it seems to be the Ming army!"
Are the red flags all unified? After speaking, everyone finally saw the banner of the word "king" flying high, and countless ironclad sergeants with axes and guns stepped forward, which turned out to be the army of Shandong.
The entire horizon was filled with these Shandong soldiers, and listening to the sound of their shouts and footsteps, Azig could conclude that the number was no longer less than 20,000.
"It's the Ming army that attacked Xingjing!"
"How could it be them?"
Azig's face became cautious, an army can only be seen from the first glance you see, he has experienced too many battles, the Ming army in front of him is unusual, and should have retreated immediately, but he remembered the tragic situation outside Xingjing City a few years ago, and he couldn't help but be angry.
The weapons held by the other party have never even seen Azig, who has been fighting since childhood, but is it necessary to retreat like this, losing hundreds of warriors, and running away when they see the shadow of the other party?
No, that's not his dignified and Prince Shuoying's style!
Since the incident in Xingjing a few years ago, this Ming army has simply become a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the children of the Eight Banners, many people's relatives are inside and outside Hetuala, and they suddenly heard the bad news that day, and after hurriedly going back, they only saw a corpse and those burning ruins.
A long horn sounded among the cavalry of the red flag, and the hula was suddenly retracted, and the lancers were lined up in the east, facing the formation of the Shandong army.
The Qing army was quickly arranged, and not long after suffering the trap, it turned its head to form a new formation, and Azig raised his sword and shouted:
"Warriors, kill these Ming dogs, and this king will ask for credit in front of the emperor for you!!"
Many of the Qing soldiers of the Red Flag were full of blood in their eyes, these Ming dogs in front of them killed their relatives, they have been looking for them so hard all these years, I didn't expect to send them today, the future will be taken, and the revenge will be avenged!
The soldiers of the Shandong Army who were walking saw the other party rushing over, and everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva, you must know that the opposite side is not a rogue, but a Tartar elite cavalry that runs north and south, and this kind of battle is the first time many people have seen it.
Azig's Red Banner Iron Cavalry immediately formed a puff of smoke and dust when it ran, and countless cavalry rushed over in the smoke and dust, and the Baya soldiers at the head of the line even jumped with their spears and horses, without any hesitation.
At this time, Wang Zheng, who was in the middle army, suddenly jumped off his horse, walked to the side of the soldiers in the front row, and shouted loudly with a knife:
"Soldiers obey orders, line up!"
In the face of thousands of Tartar cavalry frontal charge, this huge pressure is not something that everyone can bear, even if these Shandong army soldiers are one in a hundred miles and have experienced a hundred battles, but after all, this is still a head-on charge, and it is impossible not to be nervous.
Wang Zheng is also afraid of death, no one is afraid of death, but he is more afraid of mediocrity.
Even if he knew that his life would be threatened when he went to the front, these soldiers around him were all people, and this was the first battle of the Shandong army against the Tartar cavalry.
The Tartars have always been known as invincible in field battles, if the commander-in-chief himself does not know that he is the first, how can he give the soldiers the confidence to win?
The effect was very significant, after Wang Zheng came in, the soldiers who were a little nervous around him immediately stabilized, gathered together tightly, and quickly arranged the defensive formation of daily drills and training.
At the same time, Ren Hu walked out with a bird's hand, waved his knife and pointed forward, and shouted:
"Ready!"
More than 2,000 Shandong army bird guns trotted up to the front in three sections, raised the bird guns, and aimed at the Qing army of the Red Flag that was rushing wildly, and when they were about 100 paces away, they suddenly pulled the trigger.
