Chapter 348: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog

Wang Pingfan didn't have the heart to wait for the frontal battlefield under the black smoke to divide the victory and defeat, in the deafening cannonade, there would be no second result, the dead battalion had never lost in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army, the Ming army was afraid of death It was recognized, as long as it was close, the fire system lost its effect, and the knife was lit up, killing a dozen panicked soldiers, and the rest of the Ming army would escape faster than rabbits.

At this time, the role of cavalry should be reflected, Wang Pingfan observed the situation, and decided to drive the Gansu town cavalry away from the obstruction first, and then say, they were there to pestle, how much of a threat.

He sheathed the long knife, hung it in the saddle, and drew the three-eyed.

"Reload, prepare the brass pipe, and follow me to drive the enemy army!" Wang Pingfan skillfully filled the lead into the mouth, and in one hand he held the system, and the thick three-eyed wooden handle was as slender as a bamboo pole in his hand, but this did not prevent the iron body from being used as a mace.

He used his other hand to find a copper pipe from his waist, the copper pipe hides a charcoal fire, red flashing sparks, wait this is the ignition of the fire source, three eyes to shoot three bullets, can hurt people more than ten zhang away, after shooting lead is a natural mace, a dual-purpose, both hot and cold.

Wang Pingfan controlled the horse with his legs, his face was hideous, and his whole body almost stood up on the horse, holding the three-eyed tong in one hand and the brass pipe in the other, and shouted in his mouth: "Kill!" "Take the lead and lead the way.

The banner soldier behind him, holding a huge battle flag, followed closely behind him, and the two thousand Guanning iron horsemen were like a torrent of iron armor, under the guidance of the battle flag, stirring up the loess in the sky and galloping forward.

The sound of hooves shook the earth, almost comparable to the cannon sound of the Ming army just now, and the impact formed by thousands of horses' hooves on the ground was unstoppable.

The cavalry of the Ming army was obviously a little afraid, and the people shouted and neighed in a mess, although there were many of them, but they were disorganized, and they seemed to be suppressed by the indomitable momentum of the Guanning iron cavalry that rushed over.

After a while, the cavalry of Gansu Town turned around and left, ignoring the friendly infantry around them and ran away.

This reaction was somewhat unexpected, and Wang Pingfan did not expect that Gansu Town has always been one of the most difficult and impoverished places outside the Nine Border Fortress, and the people are fierce, and I heard that the soldiers there have been entangled with the Mongols all year round, how can they be so unbearable, and they don't even have the courage to fight.

Immediately, Wang Pingfan was overjoyed, this is no better, the cavalry hedge will inevitably have casualties, and the soldiers who can surrender without a fight can make a decision, so it is just right, just catch up and cut it.

He also looked at the array of Ming army infantry soldiers without cover after the cavalry left in Gansu Town with great interest, these infantry soldiers had some backbone, and saw that their cavalry fled without a fight, although they were a little flustered, but under the order of the general, they immediately contracted the formation, and set up a spear array, which was several feet long to resist the horse and guns, and rows of spearmen were like hedgehogs.

"It's not time yet!" Wang Pingfan scolded secretly, the Ming army was not in chaos, and the cavalry could not directly charge the formation, which would be the same as suicide, and the cavalry who fell into the infantry formation lost their speed and could not survive under the spear.

At this moment, the Guanning cavalry has detoured to the left flank of the Ming army, and the frontal battlefield after the smoke clears is no longer visible because of the angle, of course Wang Pingfan doesn't want to see it, as long as the front is broken, the entire formation of the Ming army will collapse, and he can rush in from any place at that time.

His attention was all focused on the cavalry of the Ming army, and it was also a great achievement to sweep away these cavalry, and the head of the cavalry was worthy of the merits of two foot soldiers.

The cavalry in front panicked, fled around the Ming army's formation, turned around in front, and disappeared behind the hills where the Ming army's central army was located.

"Hmph, see where you can escape!" Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army did not flee far, but turned in circles, Wang Pingfan was a little annoyed, which shows that the Ming army not only did not give up, but also tried to resist stubbornly under the cover of the foot soldiers, which was a kind of contempt and a naked provocation.

He stared at the horse's buttocks of the Ming cavalry, slammed the horse's belly with his legs, and his superb riding skills allowed him to stand on the horse's back freely even if his hands were not controlled.

The hill was coming in an instant, Wang Pingfan didn't care about the Ming army foot soldiers all over the hill, in his eyes, these soldiers would not pose a threat to him at all, he couldn't run away from himself, and he couldn't beat himself by fighting, as for the firearms, the Ming army's untrained bird commanders and gunners couldn't even hit the fixed target, could they still shoot the running cavalry? What else can they do?

Riding his horse around the hill, Wang Pingfan immediately saw the Ming army being pursued by him.

They were on the other side of the hill, and they had just turned around and formed an arrow-shaped formation.

"Huh?" Wang Pingfan was slightly stunned, and was suddenly a little stunned.

Is this an ambush?

But fools know that the cavalry only runs, with the help of horse speed to have impact and threat, the Ming cavalry has stopped at the moment, and the most reasonable speed of the impact on their side, the distance between the two sides is not far, this distance, the Ming cavalry has not yet accelerated, Guanning Iron Cavalry has already arrived in front of him.

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Wang Pingfan's mouth, if it weren't for the galloping wind, he would have cracked his mouth and laughed.

Stupid, stupid, do these Ming soldiers know how to fight?

I don't want basic common sense, if I don't win this battle, it's unreasonable.

He brought the copper tube in his hand close to the lead on the three-eyed system, lit it, closed the lid on the copper tube and retracted it to his waist, held the long handle of the three-eyed system with both hands, stretched straight forward, stared at a vague figure directly in front of him, squinted and aimed.

The sound of horses' hooves in his ears is getting denser and denser, and he is getting more and more urgent, and the momentum of Guanning's iron cavalry will always be so shocking, maybe these Ming troops just fled directly to the distance, and they didn't think that they could use this crude way to calculate, so that they could save their lives.

Wang Pingfan listened to the sound of hooves like thunder behind him, the blood in his veins boiled, and the sense of crisis in battle was like an addictive pleasure, filling his nerves, this is the strong army, this is the strong man, crushing everything, and letting the enemy army be wiped out in front of him.

"General, no! On the hillsides on the left and right, there are Ming cavalry rushing down! ”

Someone rushed up and shouted in his ear.

Wang Pingfan was taken aback, withdrew the focus of his eyes from the three-eyed alignment, and looked back hurriedly.

On the two small hills that were not high on either side of him, two streams of iron rolled down, and hundreds of cavalry took advantage of the mountain to rush down from above, leading two flags, one cyan and the other green.

"What? Is there really an ambush? Wang Pingfan was shocked, he didn't expect that the Ming army actually had cavalry, and they were hiding on the hill surrounded by foot soldiers.

Under the cyan banner, riding a five-flowered horse is Li Dingguo; Under the green flag, riding a black horse, is Zubian.

These two leading cavalry generals of the Kuizhou Army, leading the thousand-man cavalry of the Fengzi Battalion and the Linzi Battalion respectively, have been in ambush on the hills on both sides for a long time, and only now have they suddenly appeared from both sides of the Qing army.

"Kill! If it's slow, there will be no military merit! Zu Bian brandished the ghost-headed broadsword, the iron ring on the spine of the knife crackled, and his voice was louder than the sound of a horse's hooves.

Li Dingguo's eyes were wide with anger, his face was like sinking water, he was wearing an iron armor and holding a spear, urging the horse to gallop, and the sharp tip of the spear went straight forward, like a sharp knife that was deboned, straight into the ribs of the Guanning army.

Wang Pingfan was a little panicked, the Ming army on the left and right came suddenly, it was impossible for him to turn around to face the battle, and no matter how well trained the cavalry was, he would not be able to divide the troops and turn around during the march, if he did so, he understood that he would definitely die an ugly death.

"What to do? Checkmate! The left and right generals shouted loudly, at this time, it must be Wang Pingfan's decision.

The three-eyed firerope in Wang Pingfan's hand was about to burn to the end, and the cavalry of Gansu Town in front was urging the horse to speed up, ready to rush up.

"Rush!" Wang Pingfan gritted his teeth, spit fiercely, and squeezed the three-eyed system in his hand: "If you turn around and go back, it will definitely be chaotic, so it will be in the arms of the Ming army, and only by rushing over can you break the ambush, follow closely, rush forward with me!" ”

The cavalry on the left and right were all pawns, and they understood the stakes, and shouted in unison: "Kill!" Following behind Wang Pingfan, he rushed to the horse, and many people sped up their horses and protected Wang Pingfan in the middle.

Standing on the hill, condescending, you can clearly see that three white iron streams are flanking the black cavalry in the center from the left, middle and right directions.

"Five thousand against two thousand, close the door and fight the dog, I want to see if you Guan Ning Tieqi is a three-headed and six-armed monster." Wang Huan stood high on the top of the mountain, standing under the banner of the Chinese army, surrounded by thousands of people, holding a long knife in his hand, looking at the galloping cavalry under the mountain, and whispering to himself.
