readx; In less than half a minute, the Guanning Iron Cavalry fired three volleys to attack the middle and left and right sides of the pursuers, and the thieves suffered heavy losses, and nearly 100 horsemen were killed and wounded in an instant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn fact, if the enemy army was replaced by the Manchu Eight Banners Army, it would be impossible to cause such a big damage, because the Eight Banners cavalry had rich experience in battle, and the formation was very spread out when charging, and the protective gear was much better than that of the thieves.

However, the thieves had experienced such a blow, and as soon as the battle was engaged, they were in chaos, and the speed of the three-way pursuers decreased sharply. Cao Changjiao cut and shouted "slow", and the Guanning Iron Cavalry also slowed down, still maintaining a distance of about eighty paces from the enemy.

At this time, the thieves eased up a little, and realized that they were chasing so stupidly, and they didn't know how many they would be shot to death by the officials before catching up, so they also opened their bows and arrows and shot at the Guanning Iron Cavalry. But as soon as they released the arrows, they were dumbfounded.

It turned out that the distance between Guan Ning Iron Cavalry and the enemy army was not arbitrary, but after careful calculation. With their arm strength, the effective range of bows and arrows was within 80 to 90 paces, and with the exception of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongol cavalry, no matter whether they were officers or thieves, they could not reach this range when they fired arrows in cavalry battles, even by well-trained Qin soldiers.

The cavalry that allowed the change was no exception. They shot indiscriminately only to find that most of the arrows they shot only shot thirty or forty paces and at most fifty or sixty steps before falling to the ground, and they were still a cut away from the boss of the official army, and they could not pose any threat at all. However, the arrows of the officers and soldiers shot far and accurately, and each salvo could kill more than ten horsemen, more than twenty horsemen, or even more rogue thieves. After chasing for miles like this, he left hundreds of corpses on the battlefield in vain, but he didn't even touch the corners of the clothes of the officers and soldiers.

Xu Chang is not stupid, he gasped, thinking that if he chased down like this, not only could he not eliminate an official army, but his own elite cavalry would have to be all involved. As the saying goes, a single person does not suffer immediate losses, and he had no choice but to drink and order the whole army to stop the pursuit and prepare to return to Yizhen to reorganize the team. You must know that just now when the official army passed through the city twice, his tens of thousands of subordinates were simply a mess, and now they haven't bothered to count the losses.

However, as soon as the thieves stopped pursuing, the Guanning Iron Cavalry immediately reined in their horses, and the distance between the two sides remained at about eighty paces. Taking advantage of the thieves' chaotic rear-of-the-line change from front, Guan Ning's iron cavalry took a breath on the spot and quickly launched a salvo again. The thieves were horrified, and before they could line up, they ran backwards one after another, turning into a rout.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao had already returned to the forefront and bowed slightly to Cao Bianjiao. Cao Bianjiao immediately yelled: "Chase!" ”

At the sound of the command, a thousand horses galloped wildly on all fours, rushing forward like arrows, and the distance between them and the thieves quickly shortened. Cao Bianjiao kept issuing "Open and release!" Turn on the left front put! Turn on the right front put! Round after round of dense arrow rain is like a raging wave, carrying the thief's ass and constantly attacking.

The thieves in front of him knew the power of the rain of arrows, and ran backwards without his life; And some of the thieves in the back have not turned their horses' heads, and the people in front are defeated, and their own families collide with each other, and the chaos is unbearable. Although Xu Chang kept shouting loudly, he could not stop the chaotic retreat, and he was dragged back for miles by the chaotic army, and returned to the place where the pursuit began.

Cao Wenzhao had been calmly observing the battlefield, and found that although he had caused a lot of damage to the thieves, there were still a lot of troops allowed to change, so he ordered Cao Bianjiao to shout "stop". The soldiers immediately stopped their pursuit, and not only did they stop their horses, but they also jumped off their horses, so that the horses could rest as much as possible during the short interval in battle.

At this time, the distance between the two sides widened to about one hundred and fifty paces, and the permission on the opposite side became difficult to hold the team, and turned around a little and crooked his nose. I saw that all the officers and soldiers dismounted, and some stretched out their arms and bent over to relax their muscles and bones; Some went to pick up the arrows of the dead, and mended the arrows that were not dead; Others simply lie comfortably on the ground. What's more, Cao Bianjiao also organized more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices to shout at the thieves:

"Hey! Miss you, miss you! Yes! I miss you, I miss you~ I miss you, it's really hard to talk to people~ The third brother misses you, misses you, misses you! ”

It doesn't matter if you sing it, it can make Xu Chang and his men angry. It turns out that this folk song is a folk tune in northern Shaanxi, and the name is "Miss You", which is a love song sung by young men and women. I don't know how the officials and soldiers learned it, they are not Shaanxi people at all, and they sing it in a strange tone at this time, how ugly it is to listen and how ugly it is, but it is a spicy satire on the escape of the thieves, and it is really a great humiliation for the thieves who are mostly Shaanxi people.

Xu Xu became so angry that his eyes turned red, and he shouted hoarsely, "Brothers! These officers and soldiers are so hateful, if you don't kill them all today, Lao Tzu will never give up! Rush me! ”

This time, the thieves didn't care about the division of the soldiers, and under the domination of hatred, they swarmed and came back. Not to mention, the momentum is even more fierce than the first pursuit.

It's a pity that they were fooled, and the purpose of Guan Ning's iron cavalry is to provoke the opponent so that they can chase after them. Seeing the thieves charge, Cao Bianjiao gave a continuous order: "Get on the horse!" Remove! Open, back, put! ”

So on the battlefield, the process of Guanning Iron Cavalry retreating and releasing arrows and thieves fell down one after another, almost exactly the same as the first time. The slight difference is that this time the thieves were enraged, and even though they suffered heavy casualties, they still pursued them fiercely.

However, the development of the war situation once again confirmed the famous words of a great Russian man hundreds of years later: anger without strength is meaningless. Although the thieves have been desperately pursuing, the speed of the horses is not as fast as that of the officers and soldiers, and the arrows cannot reach others.

The ship is not a ghost, and Sun Chazhan is cold and shows his skills

After paying the terrible price of thousands of cavalry casualties, the blood donation and corpses finally calmed Xu Chang. He had to accept this unacceptable reality: even if he doubled his troops, he didn't want to kill or injure even an officer or soldier! Therefore, he had to turn the horse's head and roar with a cry: "Withdraw!" ...”

If you don't want to withdraw? It's not that cheap! Seeing that the thieves were defeated again, Cao Wenzhao immediately led the army to chase back. The so-called "kite flying" is like this, Guan Ning Tieqi is like a kite flyer, using the kite string to pull the thief forward. Now the kite wants to break free from the line and fly away by himself, but he is exhausted and defeats worse than the first time. Although the first time was also a rout, it was still defeated in one direction; This time, they fled in a complete hurry, even if Guan Ning Tieqi did not chase, it would be impossible for him to change his mind and reunite the team.

When he was defeated near Yizhen City, Xu Chang was already frightened, how dare he enter the city, and took his standard camp directly to the north to defeat; However, his old camp, that is, many old and weak women and children, still gathered near the city. Cao Wenzhao took the lead, led a thousand iron horsemen to point arrows at the enemy camp, and shouted majestically: "Those who surrender will not die, otherwise they will be killed!" ”
