Jiao Lian's Third Brigade of the Second Cavalry Army had five battalions, plus two cavalry field artillery teams. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now that the three battalions have suppressed the Eight Banners led by Duoduo from three sides, Jiao Lian personally led the other two cavalry battalions that intercepted the Eight Banners Brigade and directly cut into the camp of the Eight Banners.

The reason why the Eight Banners are strong is their riding and archery skills.

Now, because it was suppressed by the firepower of the Praetorian Guard, its cavalry and archery advantage could not be brought into play, which caused Jiao Lian to easily rush into his camp and fight with him.

At this time, Jiao Lian and the two cavalry battalions behind him were like a sharp lightning bolt directly embedded in these Eight Banners camp full of money rat tails flying.

As soon as the steel knife in his hand slashed, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and some of the Eight Banners heavy armor soldiers tried to directly confront the Praetorian Guard soldiers, but unexpectedly, the Praetorian Guard's side directly rolled over with a thunderbolt, and directly exploded this person's seven or eight pieces.

As for the light armor soldiers, the latest scimitar forged from alloy steel in the hands of the Praetorian Guards can easily cut through their armor, on the contrary, although these Eight Banners armor soldiers are infinitely powerful, but the Praetorian Guards wear thin but highly malleable armor, unless the strength is too great, it will directly damage their internal organs, and it is more difficult to cut through the vital points of the Praetorian Guard soldiers with one sword.

This is a technological advantage created after the development of steel smelting technology, because of this advantage, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard dare to fight with these Eight Banners without any scruples.

What's more, these are all veterans who have fought with Jiannu, and they can also be calm and unhurried when they fight closely, and these Eight Banner soldiers are not really heavenly soldiers, and they will still bleed after being slashed in the neck with a knife.

In a close-range direct white-knuckle battle, who is strong in martial arts and who is strong may be important, and the most important thing is who is not afraid of death.

Because the general Jiao Lian personally led the fierce killing, the other soldiers did not have the slightest cowardice, and the killing was passionate and enthusiastic.

……

Duoduo didn't expect the battle situation to go like this, so he had to order someone to pass the news to Huang Taiji, explaining that the main force of the army had been attracted by him in the area of Iron Horse Fort, and at the same time personally raised his sword to kill, trying to kill the Ming army in front of him and retreat directly.

But the fighting lasted until the afternoon and there was no intention of stopping, the two battalions of the Praetorian Guard had been rampage in the camp of the Eight Banners under the leadership of Jiao Lian, and when these Eight Banners cavalry wanted to surround these two battalions, the three battalions outside would immediately carry out musket fire, forcing these Eight Banners soldiers to mix with Jiao Lian's two battalions, so that the other three battalions of the Praetorian Guard could only shoot.

Duoduo was depressed, he could not tolerate a Ming army rampaging in his camp, he had already seen that the leader of this Ming army was the chief officer, and he decided to draw his bow and give this man an arrow.

But what he didn't know was that there were also sharpshooters on the Praetorian Guard's side, holding Da Ming's rare rifles, who were hiding behind the other soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, aiming at him.

It's not just about targeting Duoduo, almost all the Eight Banners heavy armor soldiers with strong combat effectiveness are the objects of key care.

A rifle bullet flew towards Duoduo with a puff of white smoke, and as soon as Duoduo raised his knife, a bullet flew directly into his temple, and then, his heavenly spirit cover was directly overturned, and a money rat tail flew directly into the sky.

This scene made Duoduo's pro-soldiers see it so vividly, I don't know who shouted in Manchu: "Baylor is dead!" ”

Anyway, the morale of the Eight Banners at this time suddenly plummeted like a popped balloon.

Kill!

Seeing this, the other three battalions of the Praetorian Guard immediately rushed in, pulled out their slender swords and slashed at these Eight Banners!

The cavalry field artillery team also temporarily abandoned the field artillery and galloped with long knives.

Jiao Lian, whose face was already covered with blood, was even more vigorous, and the white robe he was wearing had been dyed blood-red.

But at this time, the Eight Banners no longer had the heart to fight to the death, they were a military group that relied on violent plunder to maintain cohesion, and an organization that defined the hierarchical order by the relationship between slaves and masters.

Now that their masters are more than Duoduo, and there is no temptation of plundering interests, these Eight Banners soldiers and a group of slaves have no object of allegiance, and they have to run desperately, or even surrender directly, trying to continue to be slaves.

On the contrary, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Praetorian Guards was at its most demoralized, and if they were a little nervous at first, they were not even the slightest bit apprehensive now, and they were all eager to kill a few Tartars and earn more credit.

Zhu Youxiao did not abolish the Praetorian Guard's way of making money by killing Tartar heads because he was a Praetorian Guard, so although these Praetorian Guard soldiers who could get a lot of income because of a war still stimulated the greed in their hearts like seeing countless gold and silver treasures after seeing the money rat tail, after all, no one wants to get along with money.

Only a small number of Eight Banners escaped from the pursuit of the 3rd Janissary Brigade, and most of the rest were annihilated by the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Praetorian Guard.

Even though he already had cavalry field artillery and cross-era firearms on his side, Jiao Lian really didn't expect that he would be able to defeat Jiannu's Eight Banners force so easily, and let Huang Taiji's fifteenth brother Duoduo die.

Such a record is almost impossible in the past history of the Ming Dynasty, but it is indeed a fact now.

Even, the casualties on the side of the Praetorian Guard were not large, and in the face of absolute firepower superiority, these classical armies that still relied on individual combat ability and strong bows to dominate the battlefield really had no chance of victory.

After annihilating Duoduo, a strong force of the Eight Banners, Jiao Lian of the Praetorian Guard immediately sent someone to pass the news to Lu Xiangsheng, and he himself rushed to the direction of Harrier Ridge according to the pre-plan to strengthen the strength of the Second and Third Armies of the Praetorian Guard.

And Lu Xiangsheng was also surprised after learning that Jiao Lian's department had solved Duoduo's Eight Banners force so quickly, although he knew that with the current firepower equipment of the Praetorian Guards, it was no longer a problem to defeat the main force of the Eight Banners of the same size with the military strength of a brigade, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

However, now is not the time to analyze these, so Jiao Lian's performance further made Lu Xiangsheng determined to annihilate the main force of Jiannu in one fell swoop in the Harrier Ridge area.

Jiannu Emperor Taiji also learned the news of the annihilation of the Duoduo Division, and also knew that his fifteenth brother had died, but he really didn't expect this to be the case, which made him have to admit that the Ming Praetorian Guard was indeed strong, and it was no wonder that it was able to exterminate the Khalkha Department and the Korqin Department.

At this time, Huang Taiji naturally regarded Jiao Lianbu as the main force of the Ming Praetorian Guard, because in his opinion, only the main force could annihilate the Eight Banners of his own solid mountain so quickly.

But what Huang Taiji didn't know was that he still underestimated the strength of the Ming Praetorian Guard.

In his opinion, although the Ming Praetorian Guard is strong, as long as he avoids confrontation with it head-on and goes deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, he can disturb its restlessness and then find a fighter.
