Chapter 68: The Battle of Yingtianfu (12)
As soon as the people at the head of the city ran, Zheng Jiajun had no worries and fought easily.
Artillery was mobilized to bombard the east and west gates, and Zheng's army focused on the south gate to break through.
The whole battalion of grenadiers threw grenades together, and within a few minutes, the grenades were thrown into the air above the crowd of Qing soldiers, and explosions rang out one after another.
Just after the explosion, waiting for the smoke to clear, the rattan armor soldiers who boarded the city took the opportunity to take the rattan card on the top, rolled into the Qing army formation with a knife, and cut off people's feet.
Advancing eight meters, the rattan armor soldier took advantage of the situation and lay down.
The musketeers who followed up raised their guns and fired, and there was a crackling sound, and a succession of Qing soldiers fell.
In the past, because of the scruples of the people, Zheng Jiajun was a little shrunk, and the Qing army inevitably had some contempt for Zheng Jiajun.
Let go of his hands and feet, and the Zheng family's fierce multi-level offensive path suddenly blinded the Qing army.
"Ah~!" Amid the screams of terror, the Green Battalion was the first to collapse and flee desperately.
"Die!" Fei Yazhu Baturu snapped and slashed the head of one of the deserters with a sword. "Whoever dares to escape, kill me!"
Fei Yazhu Baturu also wanted to rely on harsh military laws to restrain these defeated soldiers, but the Zheng Jiajun's successive explosives made these green battalion soldiers unable to resist at all.
One after another, the green battalion soldiers attacked the Qing army's prison soldiers, and fled with their lives.
Of the dozens or hundreds of deserters, only a thousand prison soldiers could stop the deterrence, but thousands of deserters poured over, and these prison soldiers themselves could not be protected, and they were coerced into becoming "companions" who fled.
Seeing that the defeat in front of him was irretrievable, Aung Bangzhang Jing Kakha Mu Soben and Aung Bang Zhang Jing Kekui, who had led troops to resist stubbornly, also gave up the city and ran to it with their own guards
Fei Ya stayed next to Baturu and shouted: "My lord, Nanjing can't be defended, and the green mountains are left without worrying about running out of firewood." My lord, I'll leave first! ”
Looking at the Qing soldiers who were running in a panic, Fei Yazhu Baturu made up his mind and shouted: "The warriors of the Eight Banners are all following me and killing from the West Gate!" ”
After all, it was an elite who had experienced a hundred battles, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners soon gathered around Fei Yazhu Baturu.
More than 2,000 Qing soldiers rode on war horses, with Fei Yazhu Baturu, Kakhamu Soben, and Ke Kui as the tips, forming a dense cone-shaped formation
Fei Yazhu Baturu led the remnants of the army to launch a breakthrough, and the Eight Banners cavalry rushed into the deserters, like chopping waves, crashing into a bloody road in the crowd, and fled from the west gate.
Zheng Chenggong, who was observing the battle situation at the south gate, heard the report from the Wanli faction, and said through gritted teeth: "If you want to escape like this if you kill and injure so many of my soldiers by despicable means, how can there be such a cheap thing." Someone came, give me an order to Wang Qiba, Yao Guotai, and lead the cavalry to entangle them. Ordered Wan Li and Zhou Quanbin to lead the troops to help, and they must all be left behind! ”
"Yes!" When the herald received the order, he hurried to deliver the order.
After occupying the city, Nanjing City can be said to have been taken.
Zheng Chenggong drank: "Order Gan Hui, He Wenxing, and Huang Ting to settle the battle in the city as soon as possible." Zhang Dashan, after you led the guards into the city, Zheng Jiajun dared to abuse the people, force women to adulterous, and behead them! ”
"Order!" When Zhang Dashan heard that he was carrying the guards, he rode into the city on horseback, overseeing!
At the west gate, Fei Yazhu Baturu led more than 2,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners to seize the door, and 2,000 war horses galloped at the same time, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening.
As soon as he came out of the west gate, he began to speed up, and from a distance, it was like rolling waves.
After all, the war horses in the south were not as good as the war horses in the north, and after the lost war horses in Tieqi Town could not be effectively replenished, some soldiers in the heavy cavalry turned into a standard light cavalry army, named Fengqi Town, led by Yao Guotai.
Unlike the Eight Banners cavalry, which wore cotton armor and silk armor, the soldiers of Fengqi Town only wore light rattan armor, and the war horses did not have any drapes, and the saber was also an improved slender and curved saber.
Although they came from behind, the speed of the Wind Riding Town was a little faster than that of the Eight Banners Cavalry.
The Wind Rider Town slashed in from the flank and rushed towards the Eight Banners Cavalry.
Fei Yazhu Baturu raised his eyes and looked at the dusty left, and he was experienced in the battlefield, and he immediately estimated that it was the cavalry of the Zheng family's army, and the number was about more than a thousand.
Fei Yazhu Baturu was a little annoyed, if it wasn't for the defeat, how could the Eight Banners cavalry be afraid of the cavalry of the Zheng family's army.
Fei Yazhu Baturu shouted, "Keep rushing, don't worry about those flies!" ”
Fei Yazhu Baturu didn't want to pay attention to it, Yao Guotai was here for them.
A thousand cavalry rushed diagonally, and when the distance was about two hundred meters, suddenly a big turn turned into a reversal U.
The cavalry of the anti-U-shaped apex of the Wind Riding Town took the flint made by the good craftsman and fired the three-eyed fire system, snapping, and firing three times in a row.
The Eight Banners cavalry wore cotton armor, but there were also people who could not stop the attack of Tiezhu on the vital position.
A round of gunfire came down, and nearly three or four horsemen were immediately knocked down, and more than ten other horsemen were injured.
Fei Yazhu Baturu saw that the Eight Banners cavalry was actually used as a gun handle, and immediately drank: "Fight back, shoot them!" ”
It is rare to complete riding and shooting at full speed since ancient times.
In order to counterattack, the Eight Banners cavalry slowed down.
The cavalry of the Eight Banners took out a bow and arrow from the pouch on the side of the horse, loaded the arrow, and opened the string.
"Woo ......!" More than a thousand arrows were thrown into the shape of a projectile, drawing an arc in the air, and slammed into the wind riding town.
The soldiers at the apex of the anti-U were busy protecting the vital departments, desperately dodging.
Most of the crossbow arrows missed, and only a few dozen or so arrows wounded two Wind Knights and five horses.
After Yao Guotai completed the big turn, he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Qing army.
Fengqi Town is like a continuous M that has been entangled with the Qing army.
The entangled Qing army could not raise its speed at all, so it could only fight and retreat.
When the Qing army was entangled in Fengqi Town, Wan Li and Zhou Quanbin led archers and musketeers to ride in horse-drawn carts and ox carts, desperately chasing after them.
The car was speeding down the uneven road, and the people in the car were like a small boat in waves, and their butts had never been in their chairs. The body is often thrown into the air, colliding with teammates, and the pain is hot.
Even so, the soldiers of the Zheng family army didn't care about the pain, and used their bodies to protect their weapons.
After being entangled for nearly two hours, Yang Zheng, the deputy general of Fengqi Town, shouted: "General, the fire is out of bullets!" ”
Yao Guotai smiled bitterly when he heard it, this improved three-eyed fire system is good for everything, with a long range, great power, and easy operation, the only problem is that it is very troublesome to reload.
After all, when you are on horseback, you can't play smoothly at all.
Just as Yao Guotai was considering whether to continue to entangle the Qing army, the passionate horn battle horn came over for a long time.
Yao Guotai perked up and said happily: "Let's withdraw!" ”
After a two-hour drive, they finally caught up with the Qing army, with the musketeers in front and the archers forming a semi-encirclement on the side.
As soon as he got out of the car, Wan Li felt like his ass was about to split in half.
Enduring the pain, Wan Li's powerful voice shouted: "Musketeers listen to the order, line up!" ”
The musketeers got out of the carriage and put the wagons and ox carts in front.
Fei Yazhu Baturu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yao Guotai retreating.
Although the Wind Riding Town was as annoying as a fly, it only shot about a hundred people of the Eight Banners Cavalry, and under the Eight Banners Cavalry, they did not take advantage of it, and nearly eighty or ninety people were killed or wounded.
Fei Yazhu Baturu was about to drink and order the whole army to speed up, when he suddenly found that three hundred meters ahead, Zheng Jiajun was waiting in formation.
What's worse is that there is still a team on the side waiting for battle.
Looking at this distance, it is difficult to turn your head.
Fei Yazhu Baturu gritted his teeth and drank: "Rush over to me!" ”
Seeing the Eight Banners cavalry coming over, Wan Li shouted: "Shoot!" ”
Touch...... Touch...... Touch......!
More than 3,000 musketeers fired a rain of bullets.
Zhou Quanbin on the side also shouted at this time: "Release the arrow!" ”
Instigate...... Instigate...... Instigate......!
Two thousand archers shot a rain of arrows.
Wan Li's expression was extremely excited, and he raised his arms again and again, almost frantically, and fell down again and again.
Fei Yazhu Baturu swung his broadsword sharply, blocking the arrows that were shooting at him.
Although the Eight Banners Cavalry was brave, all resistance was in vain under the uninterrupted rain of arrows and bullets.
First of all, the Eight Banners cavalry in the charge were baptized by the rain of arrows and bullets, and rows of cavalry were nailed to the ground by the rain of arrows, and many cavalry were even beaten into beehives.
Fei Ya lived in Baturu to block the arrows, but the tiny iron beads made it impossible for him to dodge.
With a muffled snort, three or four blood flowers splashed on Fei Yazhu's Baturu body. The impact of the iron bead slowed down Fei Yazhu Baturu's swing of the knife, and in an instant, two feathered arrows stabbed into his body fiercely, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking.
Fei Yazhu Baturu's eyes were filled with blood, his lips were slightly open, his upper and lower teeth were clenched together, and his mouth let out a low roar.
Behind him, there were screams and wails one after another, and Fei Yazhu Baturu didn't need to look back to know that the cavalry of the Eight Banners was being shot mercilessly.
The rain of arrows and bullets continued, and Fei Yazhu's horse in Baturu was shot by three arrows, and one bullet fell to the ground.
Fei Yazhu Baturu was thrown out and fell to the ground, and when he tried to support himself with his saber to stand up, he was instantly hit by three or four arrows and six or seven iron balls.
Fei Yazhu Baturu couldn't hold it anymore, knelt on the ground with his feet, and looked at Zheng Jiajun in front of him.
When did the invincible Eight Banners cavalry fail to defeat the weak Ming army?
Maybe we shouldn't have entered the customs, how good it is outside the customs, we can't go back to the Songhua River to fight in the wilderness!
Fei Yazhu Baturu tilted his head and swallowed!
The bodies of more than 2,000 people and horses lay on the slightly cold earth, the blood staining the earth red.
The rich smell of blood continued to permeate the battlefield, and two or three ownerless war horses that had escaped the rain of arrows stood in the place where their master's corpse was ambushed.
The eastern sky has been fighting all night, and before you know it, the sun is slowly rising from the horizon, and the golden sunlight is shining on the earth, making the cold and bright red land look much warmer and brighter. (To be continued.) )
