Chapter 141: Killing the King (End)
Unlike Zheng Chenggong, there were almost no cavalry in the army, and they could only rely on infantry to pursue. www.biquge.info After many years of confrontation with the Qing army in the interior, just this battle, the Huiji County Wangfu Guard, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion under the Jinhua Division, and the cavalry team of the four war battalions participating in the war were full of 2,000 iron cavalry, which was the killer weapon used by Chen Wen to counterattack. Moreover, this is still under the condition that the cavalry team directly under the Jinhua Division is still in the hands of Yin Yue to deal with the situation.
The cavalry of the Ming army, under the leadership of Chen Wen, came out from behind the Ming army's formation, bypassed the guard battalion, fought between this battalion and the front battalion covering the flank, and went straight to Yue Le's handsome banner.
After holding out for a long time, the Manchurian and Han army lost a lot of money, and he had to send the Mongolian Eight Banners selected from the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou garrison to the battlefield. Some were supplemented into the battle formations of the infantry, while the other part was sent out to cooperate with the rest of the cavalry to harass the flanks of the Ming army.
However, the exchange ratio gap was too large, and Yue Le had to move the handsome banner forward, relying on the identity of the noble king to maintain morale, just waiting for Yibai to take Qiaosi Town behind the Ming army, so as to reverse the defeat. But now, the news of Yibai has not yet come, but Chen Wen took the lead in leading the cavalry to kill, and Yue Le's heart was half cold.
Breaking the formation with infantry and then relying on cavalry to pursue, Chen Wen's cavalry has always been inferior to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it is more important to use the strengths and avoid weaknesses, relying on the infantry to decide the victory, and the cavalry is only used to expand the results of the battle.
When it was, Chen Wen led the cavalry to kill, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust, Yue Lezi couldn't see it, and naturally it was impossible not to guess what the outcome of Yibai's Qing army would be, and it was impossible not to understand that this was a critical moment to decide the outcome of a battle!
The cavalry of the Ming army maneuvered fast, and Yue Le's reaction was not slow, but it was difficult for Qiao Woman to cook without rice, he had already sent all the reserves out, hoping that Yibai could create a miracle, and now that the hope was shattered, it was difficult for the reserves to be withdrawn for a while, and it was really difficult to choose.
"Master, the Ming army is strong, let's withdraw first."
"Yes, master. In the words of the Han people, stay in the green mountains, and don't worry about running out of firewood. Only by living can you have a chance to take revenge on that Chen Wen. ”
The minions around him were gossiping, but what they said was nothing more than a running word. It's normal to run away, but he is Prince Heshuo'an, and if he escapes with such an identity, the blow to the morale of the Eight Banners can really be described as fatal. At this moment, Yue Le even remembered Nikan, when the Prince Jing Jing was besieged by the Ming army, did he also have such a choice.
"No, this king will die here today!"
The momentary hesitation was not enough for the Ming army's cavalry to rush in, but a new round of strikes by the Ming army on the main battlefield began to play a movement of destruction.
On the battlefield, the Ming army relied on the tactics of spear jungle and rat warfare, and advanced on the battle array. In this regard, the Qing army had to rely on the shield array to defend itself and delay the collapse caused by excessive casualties. However, in the continuous attrition, the battle formation had to be pushed backwards, and it had retreated to the location of the stake!
The deafening sound of artillery rang out again after a long silence, and the cannonballs whistled up and fell, just like just now, directly into the back row of the Qing army's battle array.
Of the four shells, only one fell into the crowd, and the other three were all smashed into the rear of the battle formation. This was the result of precise calculations and many pre-war test firings, including the position of the gun, the angle of the muzzle, the weight of the shell, and the amount of gunpowder. But even so, deviations are inevitable.
However, it was only a cannonball, but in the midst of the battle array, the shock of the Eight Banners Army still successfully awakened the fear of the first battle. Whether it's just one or a few doesn't matter at this point.
"If you lose, if you don't run, you'll die!"
The shells fell, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the battle formation of the Qing army collapsed in an instant. Just now, they still formed a formation to resist the Ming army, and the shield array that maintained the stability of the Qing army's formation was also shattered.
What is unparalleled in cavalry and archery, what is invincible, what is invincible and prestigious, and it is not important to live in the whole world. The scene of the Eight Banners warriors seizing the road and fleeing was staged again on the shore of Siming Lake last year, and they knew very well that no matter which Ming army would not give the banner people a way out, this was their will to fight to the death, and when they fell into collapse, this would also be the source of their motivation to flee.
The cannonball didn't hit Yue Le, and it didn't even fall within a hundred steps to his left, but the collapse of the battle formation directly slapped Yue Le's fighting spirit to the bottom.
Thousands of routs are fleeing, and the routs are like a mountain, and this is no longer what he can do alone. Rao is crying and screaming to die here, but Yue Le alone couldn't withstand the hands and feet of these goshkhas, and was soon put on the war horse, and one of the goshha even whipped the buttocks of the war horse, and directly whipped the good horse under Yue Le's crotch and jumped out at once.
On the main battlefield, the defeat of the Qing army was decided, and countless defeated soldiers wanted to flee back to the location of the auxiliaries, so that they could escape from this dead place on their horses. However, under the drive of the Ming infantry and the hunting of the cavalry, there were very few who could escape back. The collapse of the main battlefield naturally affected the flank battlefield, the defeat had become a fact, even Yue Le's handsome banner had fallen, and these Qing cavalry naturally fled. As for the town of Qiaosi, the Ming army's Mandarin Duck Array began to encircle and exterminate those scattered Qing troops, and the time to completely end the battle may be faster than the main battlefield and flanks.
The cavalry of the Ming army was coming in an instant, the victory had been decided, and there was naturally Yin Yue to coordinate the overall situation, Chen Wen divided the cavalry battalion to expand the results, and he led the cavalry of the brigade to chase and kill Yue Le and other fleeing Qing officers.
Yue Le's fleeing direction is naturally Hangzhou, where there are still the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion and the fortified city of Hangzhou.
Chen Wen led the cavalry to pursue along the way, whether he could always catch up with some Qing army officers, Goshha or cavalry, but there were more and more cavalry teams divided, but there were fewer and fewer around.
The horse galloped wildly for a long time, and as soon as he stopped the war horse to rest for a while, Chen Wen vaguely saw some Qing troops in the distance from the telescope, and it seemed that they had been running for too long, so he wanted to slow down his horsepower.
It's not too far from Hangzhou, and a lot of big fish have been caught along the way, and Qing army officers such as Gushan Ezhen and Meile Zhangjing have caught enough, and there is also a forehead, Chen Wen didn't figure out whose son-in-law and brother-in-law were all lost to the Ming army who took care of the prisoners. Although he hadn't seen Yue Le yet, he was also planning to withdraw the army for the time being, but he suddenly saw a group of Qing troops in the distance, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder attacked, so naturally there was no reason to miss it.
………………
"You dog minions!"
The horsewhip snapped on Goshha's body, but Goshha didn't even dare to move.
According to the law of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the master was lost in the battle, and the slave went back to a dead end, and their master was still a prince, three years ago the Manchu Qing Dynasty had lost two princes in a row, and he really couldn't afford to have a noble king die at the hands of the Ming army. At the moment, they can only endure Yue Le's anger release, and when this anger is enough, they will be safe for the time being.
After dozens of whips in a row, Captain Goshha saw that Yue Le was also a little tired, and hurriedly wanted to speak to him. The defeated black cauldron can be handed over to Yibai and Liu Liangzuo, the former has long been notorious among the families of the Eight Banners stationed in Hangzhou, and the latter is a Han man who has no Austrian aid and power in the Eight Banners Army, which can be used as a scapegoat. And they are still in the wild, and the war horses have rested enough, so they must flee back to Hangzhou before they can be safe.
"Master......"
Unexpectedly, before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth was heard in the distance, from far to near, and when this group of frightened birds vaguely saw that it was the Ming army instead of the Qing army's rout, there was a burst of seven hands and eight feet. However, at this time, Yue Le no longer had the determination to die in battle. Without him, doing the right thing at the right time, the time and place are no longer right, and there is no need for that.
Stepping on the war horses, the pursuit battle broke out again, and their horsepower recovered better, but the Ming army began to run from the rest point, and the speed of the war horses had already risen, one was still accelerating, and the other was already at the peak, and soon the Ming army chased into the range of the riding bow.
In the swishing scream, the cavalry of the Ming army shot one sharp arrow after another, and on the side of the Qing army, Yue Le's Goshha also turned around and shot vigorously while riding their horses and galloping.
The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, but soon the speed of the Qing army's horses also increased, and the good horses under their crotches gradually began to show a faster advantage over the mounts of the captured Ming army.
The distance is about to start to close again, although he has already shot a few Goshha, but the real big fish is in front of him, even if Chen Wen doesn't know that he really stepped on shit and bumped into Yue Le, but judging from the way he goes up and down, he is definitely a big man.
Riding and shooting, he can't, but with the horse under his crotch, which Shunzhi gave to Hong Chengchou at the beginning, he is not inferior in speed.
The distance is getting closer and closer, but if it continues like this, it will not be possible to get the big fish until the war horsepower is exhausted. Fortunately, riding and archery can't, but Chen Wen is not without new goods. In the next second, I saw him take out a beautifully made flintlock from the bag originally used to hang the quiver, and at first glance it was a flintlock flintlock made by a famous craftsman, and it was difficult to complete the loading on the bumpy war horse, and aimed at the big fish in the distance is a shot!
The projectile shot by the fire gun can't be dodged at all, not to mention that Chen Wen's fire gun still made the old master spend a long time specially rifling it out, and the hit is not to be mentioned. However, this scene had already been seen by a Goshha beside Yue Le in advance, and the moment he aimed and shot, he saw that Goshha jumped up from his horse and directly pounced on Yue Le, who was galloping on his horse.
"Lord be careful!"
This shot inevitably missed, but Yue Le was also pushed off the horse by that Goshha. The two rolled on the ground for a few meters before stopping, and when Yue Le was still dizzy, that Goshha jumped up and directly drew his knife in front of Yue Le.
"Protect the prince!"
Hearing the sound, Yue Le's Goshha turned their horses' heads and rushed over, and the cavalry battle was about to break out, and one of the Goshha even got off his horse, trying to help Prince Heshuo'an, who was dizzy and seemed to have a dislocated arm, so that the master could get out of danger as soon as possible.
The number of guards who followed him was far more than Yue Le's Goshha, and although Chen Wen couldn't understand Manchu, he could still see too much information in the expressions of those Goshha.
Seeing this, Chen Wen took out a handcuff with a somewhat abnormal shape from the side pocket of the saddle, and then took out a few handcuffs from the side pocket on the other side, and inserted one of them into this flintlock handcuff that was also made by Seiko.
There was a "bang", and when he tried to lift Yue Le to the war horse, Gosh Harden fell to the ground, and even Yue Le fell heavily from the side of the war horse.
With this shot, Chen Wen originally planned to shoot the horse, because the target of the war horse was larger, but he still missed this distance. sighed at the luck factor of the breech gun, but his goal had been achieved, at least the big net was in hand.
The cavalry battle ended soon, and only Yue Le, a Qing army wearing a lightning rod, was left on the battlefield, if it wasn't for Chen Wen himself, I was afraid that at this moment, he would have been cut off by the guards and hung on the war horse, so that he would have to go back to receive the merit.
"Prince Heshuo'an loves Xinjueluo * Yuele?"
"You are the Zhejiang bandit Chen Wen?"
Although Yue Le didn't answer directly, it was self-evident, especially when he looked closer, there was no need to doubt it. On the contrary, the nickname that was said in Chinese made Chen Wen feel a little stunned.
"It turns out that you Tartars call this king that, you really deserve to be barbarians, and you have no education at all."
Regarding Chen Wen's ridicule, Yue Le did not answer. At this moment, he dislocated one arm, but under the siege of the Ming army, he trembled on the other arm and held the sword.
"I lost to you today, so there's nothing to say. But you need to know that I have been ruling the world for decades, and it is impossible for you Han dogs to turn the sky upside down. ”
After that, the sword in Yue Le's hand was about to cut to his neck. Killing himself, this was the only decent way he could think of to die, but the moment he raised his hand, a riding spear stabbed him in the hand accurately.
"Ahh
The sword fell to the ground, and a scream erupted. The guards put away their rifles, and Chen Wence slowly came to Yue Le's side.
"Want to learn from Kong Youde? You don't have that right! ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Wen slashed at Yue Le's neck with a sword. In the next second, the human head flew up, and the corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
"Gentlemen, this is just the first one!"
