Chapter 380: Scarlet Sunset

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, rush! Wu Gou can't support it anymore! ”

"The athletes of the Eight Banners, rush! The rockets that Wu Gou used to survive have all been destroyed! ”

"The warriors of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty, rush! Victory is just around the corner, avenge the soldiers of the Eight Banners who were brutalized by Wu Dog in our Qing Dynasty! Don't destroy Wu Dog, swear not to return to the court!! ”

Unable to bear the pressure of Kang Mazi, the two unlucky minions of Labu and Shangshan were forced to be helpless, and finally led the remaining more than 15,000 Mites Qing cavalry to charge towards the infantry phalanx of the Fat Army with the door open, and when the last elite of the Mites Qing army was also put into battle by Kang Mazi, there were only more than 100 guards, 300 Shanpu battalion soldiers and less than 900 forward battalion soldiers left by Kang Mazi, as well as some civilian officials and more than 400 Russian musketeers left on the Yangzhou battlefield, with a total strength of less than 2,000 people. Although the Qing army was still full of cavalry, and the Russian musketeers also had some ammunition, the defense of Kang Mazi was weakened to the point of misery. 【】

What's worse is that although these guards and warriors in the Shanpu Battalion and the Forward Battalion around Kang Mazi are all selected warriors from the Eight Banners of the Han and Mongolian Mites, they are brave and loyal to Kang Mazi, well-equipped and strictly trained, but they have never had the experience of large-scale combat.

"Owner! The last cavalry full of dogs finally moved! Uncle Wang, who was beside Fat Lu, cheered, and hurriedly suggested: "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill the Emperor of the Dogs, you should send a signal to attack, right?" ”

"Don't worry, the Mangou cavalry has just begun to move, and at this time, they still have a chance to cover Kang Mazi to escape." Lu Fatzi quietly rejected Wang Shaobo's proposal, and when he put down the binoculars and looked down at the handsome stage, Lu Fatzi couldn't help laughing - Wang Xu, Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, the three infantry generals, had already been looking forward to it under the handsome stage, looking at Lu Fatzi with hunger and thirst on his face.

"Wang Xu listens to orders." Fat Lu smiled and ordered: "Take your three phalanxes, go, and block the full dog cavalry with all your might." ”

"Order!" Wang Xu hugged his fists on the horse and agreed, and the joyful Pegasus went to the rear to command the team to attack, but Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong jumped up together, and Hu Tongchun shouted: "General, the team of the last general is on the second line, why should Wang Xu, who is at the back of the line, go first?" ”

"Uncle, the little nephew's team is in the Chinese army, and it is easier to move than Uncle Wang's team, why don't you let the little nephew go into battle first?" An Jiarong also shouted.

"In a hurry?" Lu Fatzi scolded with a smile: "You Hutongchun has time to grab Wang Xu, it's better to kill the dog-filled infantry on the left flank as soon as possible, if they don't kill them, how can I casually mobilize the team of the second line?" And you An Jiarong, your team is only 800 people, how can you fight, what use is it against 15,000 full dog cavalry? Honestly, stay in the Chinese army, and wait for Wang Xu to block the Mangou offensive! ”

Hu Tongchun agreed, hurriedly rode his horse and galloped to the left flank, and personally commanded the left flank to encircle and suppress the battle of Cai Yurong's infantry of the Qing army. At the same time, the more than 7,000 elite infantry of the Fat Man Army, who were placed at the end of the team by Lu Fatzi, had also happily advanced forward under the command of Wang Xu, rushing to the front team to kill the enemy under the envious eyes of Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong and other fat army teams, forming a formation to block the desperate impact of the Mites Qing cavalry.

Needless to say, despite the interference and destruction of the Mongolian cavalry in the front, Wang Xu directly commanded the 7,500 Fat Army infantry to rush to both sides of Yao Yi's team before the arrival of the Mites Qing cavalry, and quickly formed two phalanxes, while Wang Xu personally commanded a phalanx to merge into Yao Yi's phalanx to increase the frontal impact resistance of the Fat Army's large array. And when the three elite infantry of the Fat Army had just formed a formation, more than 10,000 Qing cavalry had already poured into the vicinity like a tide.

There is no need for Lu Fatzi's heart, or even Wang Xu's heart, the Qing cavalry has just rushed into the range of the Fat Army's bow and arrow muskets, and the commanders of several phalanxes of the Fat Army have already waved the red order flag, and the strong bows and crossbows and all kinds of muskets have been fired together, and the arrows and projectiles and hail rains down on the dense Qing cavalry team, and countless Qing cavalry who were shot by arrows turned over and fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of their companions.

The number of cavalry of the Qing army is too much, and the team is too dense, except for causing some casualties to the cavalry of the Qing army, the bow and arrow muskets of the fat army did not stop the footsteps of the cavalry team of the Qing army, and the cavalry of the Qing army is still rushing forward like a tide, even if they trample on the injured and uninjured companions, they don't care, they just charge forward. Because these experienced Qing cavalry knew very well that if they couldn't break up the infantry phalanx of the Fat Army by virtue of their habitual surname of charging, once they were stopped by the infantry of the Fat Army and lowered their speed, then what awaited them was only the brutal attrition of hand-to-hand combat.

The cavalry of the Qing army is experienced, and the infantry of the Fat Army is even more experienced, when the cavalry of the Qing army rushed within twenty steps, the banner of the general of the Fat Army flashed again, and the infantry of the Fat Army on the inside of the phalanx immediately threw countless throwing axes and more grenades, and smashed them densely at the Qing cavalry.

The elite infantry commanded by Wang Xu is no better than other second- and third-rate Fat Army infantry, limited to the pitiful productivity of this era, the second- and third-rate Fat Army infantry team, a battalion of 500 people only distributes forty grenades in a battle, an average of less than one grenade for every ten soldiers, but Wang Xu's team is one grenade per person! (Wang Xu: Lu Fatzi is eccentric, and the descendants of Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, two bastards, are two grenades per person!) Thousands of grenades smashed out are definitely not covered, Wang Xu's army in front of the formation as if a row of gunpowder smoke and fire wall rose, hit this wall of fire of the Qing cavalry did not fall on their horses, none of them were not splashed with flesh and blood, people on their backs and horses and blocked the footsteps of their companions behind, and the fish that slipped through the net was blocked by the stinging rifles of the infantry of the Fat Army, the momentum of the Qing cavalry's charge suddenly stagnated, and the delusion of using the habitual surname to break through the Fat Army's army formation was also completely defeated.

They have all rushed to this point, and the cavalry of the Qing army is too late to retreat, so they can only ride their horses forward, stab the fat army infantry with spears and spears, condescendingly swing their knives to cut the fat army infantry, and the fat army soldiers are mercilessly returning the color, stabbing the horse cavalry with stabbing horse guns, swinging knives and slashing horse legs, soldiers on both sides are desperately slashing and stabbing the enemy like crazy, killing the roar of the dog and killing the Wu dog is endless, and the screams of dying in the gun are also endless, blood and human flesh splash wildly in front of the battle, The battle was so fierce that every combatant soldier was breathless.

After all, the fat army is in formation, orderly and skilled, usually two or three fat army infantry to deal with a Qing cavalry, with spears and spears to deal with the horse cavalry, with a shield and a short knife to cut the horse, and some people secretly put cold guns, the Qing army cavalry is overwhelmed, people shout that the horse neighs and falls down one after another, the Qing cavalry behind can not be killed by the companions in front of the enemy, can only wait for the front companions to be cut down by the fat army soldiers to come forward to fight, the strength can not be spread and the fight is very disadvantageous.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the generals of the Qing army could only command the cavalry of the Qing army to outflank the gap in the phalanx of the fat army, and launch a death battle with the infantry of the fat army, but in this way, the most powerful collective charge of the Qing cavalry naturally could not be launched.

Everything can not be smooth sailing, seeing that his front team fell into the quagmire of attrition, the two battlefields of the Qing cavalry, the old sparrow commander Rabu and Shang Shan, immediately understood Lu Fatzi's sinister intentions, and immediately Rabu and Shang Shan discussed, Rabu himself commanded the Qing army brigade and the infantry of the fat army, and Shang Shan led three thousand Qing cavalry as a reserve, slightly retreated to sort out the team, looked for fighters to charge again, and used the habit of charging to break into the turtle formation of the fat army.

Seeing that the Shangshan team retreated, Lu Fatzi selflessly praised a sentence that there are always capable people in the team full of dogs, no wonder they can survive in history until Wu Laohan died of illness, Kang Mazi scolded Rabu and Shangshan for being cowardly as a mouse under the banner of the Qing army, and he was incompetent in commanding the troops, and even let the Qing cavalry who had rushed forward retreat and fled for his life. And except for Zhou Peigong, who had just been whipped, there was no official general around Kang Mazi who knew battlefield tactics, so he had to let Kang Mazi continue to scold the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Rabu monk Shangshan.

With the development of the Qing army's strength, Shang Shan's team's charging route quickly gave way, and at the same time, with the cruel attrition of close combat, Shang Shan finally found a breakthrough, that is, the right side of Wang Xu's army's right wing phalanx, the fat army appeared weak, Shang Shan did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the Qing cavalry to charge with a sharp arrow formation, three thousand Qing cavalry will protect Shang Shan in the middle, the elite forward as an arrow, the main force is on the heel, the two wings are open for cover, and rush to Shang Shan at full speed to target the weak point of the fat army.

Such as the sound of thunder and horses' hooves, the charging Shang Shan team is like a dragon out of the sea, and like a sharp arrow breaking through the air, the wind is speeding away and extremely fierce to the fat army turtle formation, dare to block in front of the arrow, even if it is the Mongolian annihilation or the Qing cavalry, all of the Qing army elite soldiers in front of the arrow mercilessly cut down and stabbed down, forcing the friendly army to withdraw their legs to both sides, Shang Shan's team took the opportunity to step forward, and stabbed into the turtle formation of the fat army, making an earth-shattering shout and the sound of swords and guns colliding.

"Hooray!" In the cheers, several Qing soldiers who rushed to the front were covered with blood, bows and arrows full of horses, and even the Fat Army soldiers who were holding the spears tightly, stepping on the corpses of the soldiers on both sides and the bodies of the wounded soldiers on both sides, and plunged into the extremely empty Fat Army Turtle Formation. The soldiers of the Fat Army on both sides were frightened, and when they hurriedly rushed to the gap to fill the gap, the two wings of Shangshan's team had already opened to stop them, and the Qing army brigade rushed into the infantry phalanx of the Fat Army in a steady stream, and attacked the Qing cavalry on the periphery.

In this way, this unlucky fat army formation is extremely painful, the front and rear directions are enemies, forced to fight back to back on the spot, and the Qing cavalry took advantage of the local advantage of more and less, condescendingly stabbed and slashed at these fat soldiers, and killed Zhao Chongyi, Wang Xu's right-hand man who commanded this phalanx, on the spot.

Seeing such a scene, Kang Mazi, who suddenly realized, of course smiled from ear to ear, and changed his words to say that Rabu and Shangshan were really in charge of the army, using the army to obtain the law, mites to clear the pillars, and sent someone to order Rabu and Shangshan to solve the fat man's military formation, and continue to break through internally as concocted, the sooner he takes down the ugly head of Lu Fatzi, the better! Only Zhou Peigong secretly smiled bitterly, knowing that Rabu Monk Shan's move was completely a dying struggle forced out by Kang Mazi, and it might be possible to break through one or two fat army formations in this way, but to break through the entire twenty fat army formations is simply a fool's dream.

"Oh no, General Zhao's phalanx has been breached!" At the same time, on the stage of the fat man's army marshal, Wang Shaobo screamed, and couldn't hold his breath and suggested to Lu Fatzi: "General, can you send a signal to call for reinforcements?" ”

"Don't worry, Wang Xu, they can hold it." Lu Fatzi sat on the handsome chair and said with a smile: "Wang Xu's ability to fight assault battles may not be as good as Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, but in this kind of hard-fought battle to the death, he is more reliable than any of our generals." Wait, the longer we hold out here, the easier it will be for Gao Dejie and Han Daren to attack. ”

Lu Fatzi's small eyes are quite accurate, although Shang Shan broke through the phalanx and was attacked from the front and back, Wang Xu's direct infantry phalanx still showed no signs of collapse, but they kept getting closer to each other back to back, gathering together to resist hard, and there were not even a few deserters - this is not entirely the credit of the Fat Army's brainwashing work, the key is that the front and back of this Fat Army are enemies, and running for their lives is equivalent to sending their lives, and the old Qiu Ba of the Fat Army are naturally not so stupid.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Fat Army who had been scattered were gradually getting closer to each other, the generals of the Qing Army, such as Rabu and Shang Shan, secretly admired, and hurriedly waved their troops to attack again, so as to prevent this Fat Army from gathering together again and making it more difficult to fight. However, in the melee, the speed of the Qing cavalry could not rush, and they could only get close to fight step by step, and the experienced fat army infantry resisted with all their might, slowly but firmly approaching each other, gradually forming a group, and continuing to die of the Qing cavalry.

The infantry of the Fat Army that has been scattered is still fighting so tenaciously, so that several veterans of the Qing army are inevitably surprised, and then look at the neatly arranged infantry phalanx of the Fat Army in front, a sense of powerlessness enveloped the hearts of Rabu, Shang Shan and Tu Hai, and said together If Wu Gou's infantry is so tenacious, then let's not say that we will cut off the head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and when the Wu Dog cavalry counterattacks, we may not even have the strength to escape.

Worried, Prince Jian Labu found Tuhai in the Mengan's army, asked Tuhai to return to the Qing army's flag array, and asked Kang Mazi Mingjin to withdraw his troops and preserve the physical strength of the cavalry and war horses, so as to meet the counterattack of the cavalry of the Fat Army. Tu Hai smiled bitterly and told Rabu that Kang Mazi would never listen to his words, and now the only hope to persuade Kang Mazi not to be obsessed with it is probably only Kang Mazi's favorite minister Zhou Peigong. Rabu thought about it carefully, and with the same wry smile, Rabu had to send a messenger back to the Qing army's banner array to meet Zhou Peigong, asking Zhou Peigong to persuade Kang Mazi to change his mind at any cost.

As soon as the messenger left, the left wing of the Fat Army suddenly heard bursts of cheers, it turned out that when the left wing of the Fat Army surrounded the Qing infantry team led by Cai Yurong, he also shot Cai Yurong with a cold arrow in retaliation, although the distance was too far to see whether he had shot this hardcore man to death, but seeing Cai Yurong fall from the horse, the Qing infantry was still in a panic, and subconsciously moved closer to the interior, and the area of the team was compressed by nearly one-third of the Fat Army at once.

Seeing such a situation, Lu Fatzi naturally decisively ordered some of the sub-mother guns to turn around the muzzles, and asked the mathematician Lao Qing to personally calculate the angle of fire, and bombarded the dense Cai Yurong team with flowering shells, which made the Qing infantry splash flesh and blood, and the ghosts cried wolf, and accelerated the collapse of the Qing infantry on the left flank with all his might. Rabu monk Shangshan and others were worried, knowing that once the left flank of the fat army was freed up, the Qing cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry would be even more sad.

The war was completely stalemate, although the cavalry, infantry and Mongolian cavalry of the Qing army did their best, but nothing could break through the huge turtle formation of the infantry of the fat army, break into the center to cut off the valuable head of the fat man, and the infantry on the left flank was still surrounded by the fat army, not to mention breaking into the center, even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't escape.

The situation on the right flank is slightly better, but it is not much better, the more than 10,000 Qing army infantry led by Dong Weiguo is no longer the army he trained in Jiangxi back then, and the elite of the lineage trained by the Wu army in actual combat on the border of Jiangxi and Hunan Province, but the recruits formed by Kang Mazi in Zhili Shandong last year, the experience is scarce and has already polished the morale and fighting spirit on the battlefields of Gaoyou and Yangzhou, and the methods of killing the enemy on the battlefield have not learned much, and the old fritter methods on the battlefield have learned a full way, and they shouted louder than anyone else when they charged. As soon as they engaged, they fled faster than anyone else, and even the Warlords couldn't stop them from charging backwards. Dong Weiguo was so angry that he scolded his mother but was helpless, so he could only watch this army being defeated and retreated by the whole section team on the right flank of the Fat Army, and the escape situation became more and more serious.

The only advantage of the Qing army is the frontal battlefield, more than 20,000 Mongolian mite cavalry pressed the fat army's Wang Xu, Yao Yi and Jin Bangxuan and other infantry teams out of breath, but Wang Xu and Yao Yi are the hardcore accomplices of Lu Fatzi, the soy sauce man Jin Bangxuan is not famous, in history, but it is Wu Sangui's army in the Guangdong battlefield to hold on to the last general, Wu Lao Han's cousin Zu Zeqing has fallen He did not fall, and the Qing army dozens of times his own is still fighting to the death, and the strength of willpower is extraordinary. When the Mongolian mite cavalry encountered such a few hardcore annihilation leaders, it could be regarded as bad luck for eight lifetimes.

In the frontal bloody battle, the six phalanxes of the Fat Army were almost compressed into six circular formations by the Fat Cavalry, and there was not even a gap for the wounded soldiers to sit down and rest in the array, the offensive of the Fat Cavalry was higher and higher, and the bows and arrows were so dense that they almost completely blocked the sun's rays that were gradually falling westward, but the six Fat Army infantry just refused to collapse, even if they had killed their faces covered with blood, there were arrows inserted in their bodies, and the intestines in their stomachs flowed out, and their eyes were so black that they couldn't see anything, I was so tired that I couldn't even stand on my feet, and I could only half-kneel on the ground to support my body, but I was still stabbing with a crazy spear, slashing people with a crazy knife, throwing away a grenade and stabbing with a knife, slashing and stabbing with a knife, and breaking the gun, picking up the weapons of my dead companions or enemies and continuing the bloody battle, smashing my teeth with my fists, and pulling the enemy in front of me to die together.

In front of these six fat army infantry, there are six circles full of corpses of the mite cavalry, layers of corpses of soldiers on both sides, and blood flowing into streams, even without melee weapons such as grenades, the casualties of the mite cavalry are still greater than them!

In the face of such a bloody battle, such a stalemate and rapidly expanding casualties, and looking at the Chinese army and the last phalanx in the rear of the fat army, Rabu, Shang Shan, Tu Hai and a dozen or so Mengxi Taiji were completely desperate, and they all understood that Lu Fatzi was determined to use the infantry to consume their cavalry at any cost, and wait until they were too tired to be tired and the blood could not flow anymore, and then give them a fatal blow and completely wipe them out from the land of China!

The most important thing the Qing army should do now, and at the same time the smartest choice, is to throw down the surrounded Cai Yurong and let Dong Weiguo be the queen of the palace, and then Kang Mazi led the mite cavalry that barely had the last bit of strength to flee to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, only in this way can Kang Mazi have hope of escaping the Yellow River, and the Qing army can leave something behind.

Seeing this, Zhou Peigong, seeing that the last Mizhou cavalry of the Qing army was bitten by the infantry of the Fat Army, dragged into the quagmire of consumption, and saw the sun gradually setting, and the time was approaching, Zhou Peigong, who was still hesitant to carry out the instructions of the Rabu, couldn't hold back any longer, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, strode to Kang Mazi's royal horse, knelt down and kowtowed on his knees, and said loudly: "Master, you can't gamble anymore!" Please make an order to Ming Jin immediately, collect the troops and retreat! ”

Kang Mazi's numb eyes glared at Zhou Peigong, his hemp face was murderous, and he shouted angrily: "Let your mother's stinky fart!" Don't you see that my Eight Banners army has already killed Wu Gou and retreated, and it is less than a mile away from Wu Gou's Banner Array? ”

"Master, you're farting!" Zhou Peigong didn't know where a surge of courage came from, and he pointed to the battlefield and shouted wildly: "Master, will you fight in the end?" Master, haven't you seen that our Eight Banners cavalry and Mongolian cavalry have fallen into the trap of Lu Yifeng's dog thieves and have been dragged into the quagmire of the war of attrition by the Wu dog infantry? Don't say that our casualties are greater than Wu Gou, even if the casualties are as big, Lu Yifeng's dog thieves will take advantage of countless advantages if they exchange an infantry for one of our cavalry! Master, do you understand how much more money it costs to train and equip a cavalry than to train and equip an infantry? How much more food should I eat? ”

"Dog minion!" Su Lun, Wolf Tan, Huang Hai and other mite Qing guards finally came back to their senses, pounced and punched Zhou Peigong, while Zhou Peigong continued to roar wildly: "Master, don't talk about it anymore!" Did you see, we already have no reserves, and our cavalry and infantry are so tired that they can't even run fast! But Wu Gou not only has infantry but also reserves, and on the two wings of the battlefield, there are also Wu Dog reserves! And Wu Gou's cavalry reserves! ”

"The Wu dog cavalry is not greedy for life and afraid of death, they retreat to save their physical strength and horsepower! They are waiting, waiting for our Qing Dynasty's war horses to be so tired that they can't run, and the infantry are so tired that they can't walk, and then they come out again and launch a fatal blow to our Qing Dynasty! Lu Yifeng's dog thief's tactic is Tian Ji horse racing, using his infantry middle horse to drag our cavalry on the horse, dragging our upper horse into a middle horse or even dismounting, and then his cavalry gets on the horse and comes out again to win the final victory-! ”

"Master, when are you still obsessed?! When Wu Dog is on a full-scale counterattack, these pampered guards, good fighting battalions and forward battalions around you, and the two-gun generals with muskets in one hand and cigarette guns in the other, in addition to bullying the common people and helping you kill officials who dare not resist! Can I keep you out of the encirclement? ”

was punched and kicked by Kang Mazi's guards, Zhou Peigong shouted, and finally simply screamed frantically with blood spurting from his mouth, "Master, this is your last chance, if you don't retreat, you will die!" If you fall into the hands of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, what will happen to you, the slave doesn't even dare to think about it! My master! ”

Being scolded so bitterly by Zhou Peigong, a dog slave who has always lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, Kang Mazi was completely stunned, and even forgot to give the order to cut Zhou Peigong with a thousand knives and put him to death, a pair of pockmarked eyes looked at Zhou Peigong, whose face was full of blood, and then looked at the battlefield in the distance, under the sunset, the corpses of soldiers on both sides of the battlefield were piled up, abandoned flags and weapons were sprinkled for miles, and the blood flowed on the ground, dyeing the sunset into a blood, hazy and cruel.

In a hazy distraction, Kang Mazi suddenly had such a feeling, "This scene seems to be very similar to my country, it is all said to fall in the West Mountain, and it is almost over." ”

"Whew! Whew! Whew! ”

Suddenly, one after another of firelight flew into the sky, exploded in mid-air, and bloomed one after another huge and beautiful flowers. Seeing these flowers, Zhou Peigong, who was still stiff and stiff just now, was completely paralyzed, and urinated on his crotch on the spot, howling madly and desperately, "It's over!" Finished! It must be the signal of Wu Gou's general attack! It must be the signal of Wu Gou's general attack! Finished! We are clear! It's over! ”

(To be continued)
