Tong Dali's prediction was correct, Li Ji's battle really attracted the attention of the Fu Han army, and Gao Yuanhou, who had just been caught off guard by the Qing army's horse team outside Chenzhou City, immediately ordered the troops of an infantry regiment of the Guards Brigade to rush to reinforcements. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a commanding with a hint of anger! It's a little flippant, but it's normal.

The two thousand Qing army horses had just killed a circle in Chenzhou, and then fled to the north, so the Qing army horse team that attacked the transport team was naturally not them. Besides, the battle has been going on for a long time, and it can be seen that the incoming Qing army is not strong. Otherwise, the little strength of the convoy would have been finished.

The strength of one infantry regiment is enough!

Gao Yuanhou didn't expect that the sound of guns and guns there was pretended by Ah Gui.

Gao Yuanhou could not have imagined that the Qing army soldiers and horses that attacked a small transport team would be a team of more than 7,000 Qing army horses led by A Gui himself. So he sent only one regiment. Now the offensive and defensive battle of Chenzhou has entered a critical moment, and the Fu Han army has reached the top of the city, and it is about to take Chenzhou City.

Therefore, capturing Chenzhou City is his first priority, and a large number of troops are guarded by his troops, so as to prevent the past from happening again under Chenzhou City.

As soon as the Fu Han army of this regiment passed through Li Persimmon Garden, they were startled by the Qing army horse team that was rolling and killed.

The gallop of 7,000 horses is so full of smoke and dust that it will obscure the sun in the sky, and it is impossible to hide its whereabouts in the vast plains.

The regiment commander immediately sent out a distress flare, and then asked the signal corps to go back to make an urgent report, and he himself immediately led the troops to move into the farmland next to the road, but unfortunately it was impossible to withdraw from the village again. The Qing army did not give them that much time.

On the yellow earth, the Fu Han army had formed a phalanx as straight and strict as a knife cut.

The three battalions plus the regimental headquarters, 17,800 people, had no artillery, only a part of the mortar artillery belonging to each battalion, a total of 16 guns, and most of them were small-caliber mortar guns. I'm in too much of a hurry to get out of the fight!

The faces of the fighters are resolute! The officers were in high spirits.

They are the personal guard brigade, and they are the closest troops to the king of Han.

"Order the battalions, prepare for battle!"

"The Han army is mighty—"

"I'm invincible!"

"The Han army is mighty—"

A high-pitched roar was heard far away.

The Qing army was scattered in the queue, shouting with high morale, the Fu Han army was a trick. As the designed Qing army, their morale was naturally high, urging their horses to slowly rush towards the bayonet jungle-like phalanx composed of soldiers of the Fu Han Army.

The Fu Han army was solemn, and the officers and soldiers of the Han army with a little experience could see that the Qing army horse team in front of them was an elite team, and very quickly, the speed of this horse team had already been mentioned to run, but how they were 'scattered' before, and how they were still 'scattered' now. That is to say, since the beginning of the cantering, the cavalry has been in a position in the array, and now the cavalry in it is still in the same position in the entire array. It can be said that there is no mess in the human race.

The Qing army suffered a great loss in the process of attacking and killing the convoy. The transport team only had 200 transport soldiers, but the Qing army suffered 300 casualties in that battle. Except for Chang An's stupid attack, it was the last big explosion. The Qing army was completely defenseless, unlike the previous explosion where they had already taken precautions, this time they were taken seriously. Xiong Wenbing's grenade detonated the entire grenade box, and the grenade detonated the powder keg that was close at hand, and the continuous explosion shattered hundreds of Qing troops......

In the previous battle, the Qing army suffered a big loss, and this time Ah Gui will get back to the original.

Looking at the approaching Qing army horse team, Tuanzheng drew his saber and raised it high, gritting his teeth: "There are all of them...... Aim! ”

"Tiger—"

The muskets were all bayonet, pointing forward, as the soldiers of the Guards Brigade, their duty was to protect Lushan first, they could not be compared with the battle-hardened instructors or the Guards Brigade, but they would not be frightened to pee their pants when they saw the original cavalry and horses. They are the pro-guard brigade, Chen Han's forbidden army!

It was the first team of all-firearms, flintlock pistols, in the entire Fuhan Army!

It is also the most loyal unit of the Chen clan in the entire Fu Han army!

The current regiment, from the chief and deputy regiments, teachers, and chiefs of staff to the battalion officers and instructors below, is a three-surnamed child.

"200 steps! Mortar fire! The battalion officers on the front line shouted loudly.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" Blossom bombs were fired one after another. Although most of the sixteen mortars were small-caliber mortars and had limited ammunition, they were divided into two teams to fire, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke still quickly and continuously filled the ranks of the charging Qing army's horse team.

Screams rang out, and stumps and severed arms were sprinkled on the field with blood. But the Qing army horse team is still charging!

"150 steps!"

"100 steps!"

"70 steps, fire!"

A neat white smoke erupted from the front of the Fu Han army, and four or five hundred oval lead bullets quickly crossed the distance of 100 paces and shot into the charging Qing army's horse team. The array of Qing army horses facing a battalion of soldiers immediately splashed hundreds of blood lines.

Whether a buckshot hits a horse or a person, it is a fatal wound.

However, the platoon was not over, and after a salvo from the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion on the left hand fired again, and then the 3rd Battalion on the right......

Both battalions on the left and right fired at a 45° oblique fire.

The salvo of three battalions connected, the killing and wounding of fourteen or five hundred bullets, the convex part of the Qing army's horse corps was almost wiped out.

Chang An continued to shout, charge, charge!

Regardless of the huge casualties of the front army, he continued to urge his horse team forward. Because he had a sharp machete waiting for him on his head, Ah Gui said, this time he will be the same as the last time, don't look at him as the deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, cut his head like the same.

In order not to be cut off by Ah Gui, where does Chang An care how many casualties his subordinate horse team has?

Besides, this is a charging formation, an assault on the infantry phalanx that has been placed in an array, which in itself requires a huge sacrifice. The relatively soft fields and ridges made the Qing army's horse speed never reach the peak.

The arrangement of the three battalions of the Fu Han Army is an arc, the first battalion is at the apex, the second battalion and the third battalion are on the left and right, and the three battalions are not listed in a line, so the cross-fire of the left and right battalions is still the center point of the horizontal plane of the Qing army's horse team, which directly completely erases a piece of cavalry that rushes forward. Stimulated by their three volleys, the cavalry on the left and right sides of the Qing army's charge, which suffered the least casualties, all flanked the fast horses like crazy, and they took out their muskets with their free hands to return fire, and then outflanked the two wings of the Fu Han army.

The Qing army was originally a central lordosis shock array, and the Fu Han army was a needle-point pair of wheat mang, but now it has been beaten into a pincer shape with some small depressions in the middle and protruding on both sides!

In the distance, there were also two Qing army horse teams outflanking the back of the Han army array from the left and right.

Ah Gui is a veteran of the battlefield, of course he knows what the best way to fight this kind of phalanx is, but because Li Persimmon Yuan is too close to Chenzhou, he is afraid that the Fu Han army outside Chenzhou will send people to rescue again. That's why he ordered Chang An to start the charge directly, and then ordered the two troops to outflank the Fu Han army from the periphery.

"Damn, this Chen Rebellion's firepower is too ......" Qing'an was beside Ah Gui, and saw three strict salvos from the three Fu Han army formations, plus the mortar artillery troops that were always firing rapidly, so the charge was still enough to catch up with a burst of casualties, and the men and horses became extremely fragile in front of gunpowder.

The impact of the Qing army's horse team suddenly stagnated. Two or three hundred horsemen were beaten so that they turned on their backs. How did the remaining Qing army horsemen not be frightened? If the path of the charge is blocked by the corpses of men and horses lying down, or the horses that have lost their masters, or the horsemen who have lost their horses, or the horsemen who have not yet died, the speed of their impact will undoubtedly be slowed down a little.

However, the Qing army's horse team was still charging, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and then the mortar cannon was no longer loud, and the gunners who were still manipulating the mortar just now carried the mortar and dragged the ammunition truck one by one into the small hollow array. The soldiers of the Fu Han Army, who had previously been four columns of horizontal formations on the left and right, quickly changed their formation after firing a volley, changing from a large phalanx at the battalion level to a small hollow formation at the team level. The first battalion in the middle relied on a little longer preparation time to form a large hollow formation after converging the regimental headquarters.

"Boom, boom, boom......" A series of grenade explosions sounded.

"Papapa......" followed by the final gunshot, which was the second shot fired by some soldiers with a little fast hands, and there was no longer any salvo or non-salvo, and there was no more a volley, and a shot was a shot.

"Raise your bayonet and hold on!"

"I'm invincible!" Such shouts rang out in the array, team officers, battalion officers, and even regimental officers. "Tiger—"

In addition to the gunners who can continue to operate the mortar cannon with one mind, the other soldiers of the Fu Han Army will face the most severe test!

The sprinting horses, the dazzling spear tips and sabers in the sun, the endless sound of horses' hooves like thunder, and the collision of infantry bayonet phalanx and cavalry, this is the most cruel and classic scene of land warfare in this era.

There is no absolute restraint attribute in any phalanx. The hollow array is only a little better in terms of relative effect.

The roars of the officers of the Fuhan Army rang out, and the contest of wills arrived.

The team collided with the crowd, and the neighing of the horses resounded in the air.

Muskets with bayonets were far longer than sabers, so the musketeers relied on the cavalry for a long distance, except for the phalanx, and of course there were large numbers of lancers in the West, which theoretically completely restrained the infantry bayonet phalanx - because their spears were much longer than the rifles with bayonets in the hands of the infantrymen.

There were also some men in the cavalry of the Qing army who carried spears and spears, especially some officers.

In the traditional Chinese concept, the immediate long weapon is almost a mark of the traditional military general.

In addition, the impact of the cavalry restored the small hollow array of the Han army with the team as the formation, and immediately there were scattered by the cavalry of the Qing army. Cavalry is not only spears and sabers, but the impact of war horses is their greatest and most powerful weapon.

In one rush, it is not at all something that can be stopped by manpower. Blood splattered, and the sound of broken bones reached the eardrums. Especially on the sides that had been the least injured in the previous salvo, several small hollow arrays collapsed in an instant.

It's just that the scattered Fuhan musketeers did not lose their souls and run away, but leaned on each other, quickly gathered together, or directly merged into the nearby small hollow array.

Rush in!

Chang An seemed to see the hope of victory, his spirit soared, and he loudly ordered the remaining cavalry to follow!

The entire Qing army's attack horse team was like a big iron brush, and the sharp iron tooth brush brushed away the layers of flesh and blood of the Fu Han army. The Qing army horse team that was outflanked on both wings also increased its speed, and the Qing army horse team after the impact in front also quickly brought back the horse's head and reorganized the formation. Chang An wanted to completely crush the enemy in front of him with the huge impact of the cavalry, and then kill them without leaving a piece of armor.

In addition to the first battalion in the middle, the small hollow formations of the second battalion and the third battalion collapsed one after another, and then the Fu Han army and the Qing army horse team that came back to kill, and the scattered infantry cavalry on both sides were mixed into a mess.

The Qing soldiers on horseback vigorously brandished their sabers, and the soldiers of the Fu Han Army who stepped on the ground bravely fought back with bayonets in their hands, and some officers and soldiers of the Fu Han Army hung handcuffs on their waists and aimed at close range. And the most ruthless are those middle and junior level officers, for these officers who come from a generally poor background, all their existing wealth and status are far more important than their own lives, and their fighting will is even stronger than that of ordinary soldiers of the Fu Han Army. When a besieged sergeant's lieutenant pulled the grenade on his waist, it was like a start. The officers and soldiers of the Fu Han Dynasty who were in a desperate situation let out a 'glorious' explosion from time to time!

Therefore, the soldiers of the second and third battalions in the chaos, relying on the cuirass on their bodies and their own brave fighting spirit, fought to the death with the Qing cavalry. Although they were retreating step by step, they were also resisting step by step, and they were not driven by the Qing cavalry to break up the large hollow array in the middle.

With the arrival of the outflanked Qing army horses, the number of Qing troops quickly surpassed that of the Fu Han army. The remnants of the second and third battalions were pressed step by step by the Qing cavalry to the front of the big hollow formation.

The large hollow array formed by the first battalion and the regimental headquarters was still firing rows of bullets - the scale had become much smaller, and the artillery inside was also firing flowering shells with all their might. They were always inflicting damage on the Qing cavalry with their firepower. When more and more remnants of the second and third battalions were forced by the Qing cavalry to the front of the first battalion of the big hollow array, a scene that stunned the Qing army appeared, and the big hollow array was not scattered and crushed by these defeated soldiers at all, but the latter integrated into it without any obstacles, like raindrops integrating into a river.

The cavalry must be moved to be powerful, and even in a melee, the cavalry of the Qing army did not stand still. But the offensive of the Qing army on the battlefield has been used to the old age, unless Ah Gui withdraws the cavalry on the battlefield now, and then sends a new cavalry unit to attack the remaining Fu Han army, otherwise the melee on both sides can only continue to exchange lives for human lives, so that the number of casualties will rise sharply.

Ah Gui closed his eyes helplessly, he was wrong, he was wrong in this battle.

He thinks that the Fu Han Army is too fragile!

He shouldn't just prepare a wave of offensive troops, there should be a second and third wave of attacking troops after Chang'an, with wave after wave of impact, with a fast cavalry group to impact the infantry who have lost their formation, even if the later team still can't rush the big hollow array in the middle, it can also eat the left and right Fu Han army. And not like the current ......

Ah Gui really regretted it.

A annihilation that should have been enjoyable and dripping, because of his mistakes, the fight became what it is now.

The cavalry of the Qing army on the battlefield will certainly not fall into the situation of a tiger whose claws have been removed, but it is also a tiger that has entered the 'twilight years'.

Speed, they lack speed!

Of course, even so, the Qing army had the upper hand.

More and more Qing troops fell in pools of blood, and even more Fu Han troops fell to the ground. With infantry against cavalry, even if the soldiers of the Fu Han Army of these pro-guard brigades are extremely tenacious and wear cuirasses, they will really suffer. The cavalry against the infantry is really superior, and the impact of the war horse is not something that can be resisted by manpower, even if the speed of the war horse is far from the peak.

The Qing army quickly fished back the men and horses lost during the attack. But until now, although the cavalry of the Qing army has taken a big advantage, they have never been able to defeat the two battalions on the left and right, and the melee combat between the two sides, the remnants of the two battalions have always resisted strongly.

Ah Gui frowned, he didn't dare to easily order the attacking troops to withdraw, because if the two sides reorganized the troops, the impact of the Qing cavalry would of course increase greatly, but when they hit the front of the Fu Han army, they must also bear a wave of heavy casualties. It was difficult for Ah Gui to judge the Qing army who did this for a while - did it make a profit? Or did you suffer a loss?

The most important thing is that the Fu Han army under the city of Chenzhou has moved.

Then the bloody battle lasted for another quarter of an hour, and the battlefield finally fell silent, and the soldiers of the Fu Han Army, who had suffered more than half of the casualties, stood in the battlefield strewn with corpses, watching the Qing cavalry quickly move away.

Gao Yuanhou outside the city of Chenzhou personally led tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Han army. Ah Gui Zhiji's soldiers left.

With the rolling yellow dragon, this infantry battle on the outskirts of Chenzhou City came to an end. Gao Yuanhou's actions completely fell into Ah Gui's calculations, but the Qing army failed to achieve a 10,000 victory, and the cavalry against the infantry, and even in terms of overall casualties, was not much less than the Fu Han army, that is, Ah Gui's lack of understanding of the speed and tenacious will of the Fu Han army in the field.

It was also the Qing army that was unlucky and ran into the troops of the Pro-Guard Brigade. This is one of the most loyal and reliable troops in the entire Fu Han army. It doesn't matter if their combat effectiveness can be compared to the main division.

Only four or five hundred of the 1,780-strong regiment could stand up in the end, and it was a fierce battle with heavy losses. But they also left behind a large area of Qing cavalry with their huge casualties.

No matter how unwilling Ah Gui is, seriously speaking, such a field battle in which the Qing army can still have the upper hand is already the best result achieved by the Qing side against the main force of the Han army in the past two years. (To be continued.) )
