After a while, Chen Youlong felt that the momentum of the mount under his crotch was getting weaker and weaker, and finally he could only maneuver in a small area. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Looking around, the four or five hundred cavalry under his command were all the same. However, there are more and more Qing troops around, and the shouts of killing are becoming more and more noisy and harsh.

Spears stabbed one after another, and the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion near Chen Youlong were constantly stabbed off their horses, and then they would be chopped into pulp by the Qing soldiers who swarmed up, whether they were dead or not. The advantage of cavalry over infantry is speed, and once it loses its speed, it is the best target for assassination on horseback.

At this time, Chen Youlong saw that the Qing army's rejection array was still dozens of steps away from him, and his own momentum had almost been contained, and his heart was even more anxious. He knew very well what was at stake, if the Qing army's rejection of horses could be broken in time, the main force of the Flying Tiger Battalion would still have a chance to escape, and if it continued like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

From his position, clouds of white smoke had risen from the north of the Horse Rejection Formation, which had accumulated in the sky for a long time. In the smoke, the cold light of the blades of the swords and guns, and the red sparks that bloomed wantonly when the guns were released, appeared and disappeared. As for the specific battle situation, I couldn't see it very clearly, and I only heard all kinds of shouts, exclamations, and wails, and I didn't know which ones came from the Qing army and which ones came from the Ming army.

Chen Youlong was chopping the spear that stabbed from time to time on his horse, and at the same time shouted to the cavalry of the D team around him: "The Tartars invaded my Shenzhou and invaded my homeland, and we will kill them to serve the country!" The handsome house is kind-hearted and compassionate to us, and we are waiting to kill the enemy today to repay the kindness! Serving the country and repaying the kindness are all at this time! How can the eldest husband die?! Regardless of the dead, dismount with me and fight! ”

After speaking, he blocked two spears in a row and killed several Qing soldiers. Roll over and jump off the warhorse.

"The eldest husband is sorry to die!" All around him, the cavalrymen of the D team were full of blood and shouting, and without hesitation, they turned over and dismounted. Rushed into the Qing army.

These cavalrymen of the Ding team had just joined Huguang Town and the Flying Tiger Battalion, and they might not be very loyal to Pang Yue, but most of them could be regarded as loyal to Chen Youlong. Now that they see Chen Youlong personally dismounting and fighting on foot, how can they not follow him?

At this time, Chen Youlong had already killed his red eyes, and his face stained with red blood and hideous expression were almost no different from the evil ghosts from Shura Hell. Let everyone who sees it shudder. As soon as he got off the horse, he abandoned the long-handled broadsword, drew out the knife on his waist, and cut it when he saw the Qing soldiers. Innate divine power, practical knife skills, plus a carefully made waist knife. It is like an efficient killing machine, constantly harvesting human lives.

After rushing and killing for a while, two arrows shot left and right, and one cut a terrifying blood groove on Chen Youlong's face. The other was inserted directly into his armpit through the gap in the armor. Chen Youlong didn't look at it. only cut off the shaft of the arrow, and kicked away the guards a few times: "What do you care about me?!" If we lose this battle, we will only die! ”

As the so-called courage of the first army, Chen Youlong has fought so far, and the performance of his officers and soldiers is not far behind. Everyone was desperate and killed in the direction of the horse rejection array.

Most of the Qing troops in the south were Shen Zhixiang's descendants, wearing white cotton armor, while Chen Youlong's troops were wearing red battle jackets. If you look down from above. It's like a red warship, splitting the white waves little by little. Straight to your destination.

Looking at the south of the horse rejection array, and then looking at the north, Xu Tianzhong, the previously arrogant and abnormal Qing general, was also a little dumbfounded, and then gradually frowned.

......

To the north of the Horse Rejection Formation, on the outside of the main line of the Flying Tiger Battalion, the dismounted soldiers formed two roughly two lines of defense facing north and east respectively. By this time of the battle, the flintlock pistol in his hand had been cast four or five rounds.

The flintlock pistols used by the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion are shorter than those used by the Gangfeng and Pojun battalions, and are produced by the gunsmith factory in particular for the combat characteristics of the cavalry and in consideration of the principle of ease of carrying. Due to the shorter barrel, the firing range is also less than that of the longer version of the flintlock pistol, but it is roughly equal to or slightly exceeded the old bird gun in the hands of the Qing soldiers, and the quality is certainly better than that of the Qing army bird gun.

In normal times, in addition to training cavalry formations and tactics, the Flying Tiger Battalion also involves many methods of firearms drills, in order to deal with all kinds of emergencies, such as today. After a long period of accumulation, although it is not as good as the professional firearms of the rest of the battalions, it can be regarded as proficient in use. After a few rounds, the Qing archers and firecrackers knew that they were powerful, and they no longer dared to get too close as before.

But even so, the Flying Tiger Battalion only bought itself some more time to break through, and it was still a little powerless in the face of the large number of large-caliber firearms such as tiger squat cannons and guns in the Qing army's formation. After all, it is a cavalry battalion, and its firearms and equipment are much worse than that of an infantry battalion.

At this critical moment, the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Battalion in the front row of the queue and dismounted on foot all marched forward bravely. After some fighting, a gap has been opened in the originally tightly knit horse rejection array, and more and more officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion have entered and started a desperate struggle with the Qing soldiers after the horse rejection.

Rushing to the front is the first team of the division of the general Wang Zhangtang, his people on the horse can be called a fierce general, dismounted foot combat is also brave and abnormal, superb martial arts and the first soldier, almost the knife to the blood, recruit to take life, no matter how fierce it seems to be the Qing officer under his knife can not go two or three rounds. The gap in the horse rejection formation was his pride.

"Wait for the dog Tartar to remember! Grandpa is Zhejiang Wang Zhangtang is also! Like Chen Youlong, Wang Zhangtang is also red-eyed, and he also constantly reports to his family, which seems to have the meaning of leaving no nameless ghost under the knife.

Not only him, but also the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion around him were all fighting fiercely, constantly destroying the horse rejection formation, slashing and killing the Qing soldiers, and at the same time, they were also venting their previous depression to their heart's content.

Since the formation of the Flying Tiger Battalion, there has never been a time in such a situation, and there has never been a battle that has been so aggrieved. The arrogance of the Qing army and the casualties of the robes around them constantly stimulated every soldier of the Flying Tiger Battalion who was in it. Suppression can give rise to anger, anger can produce courage, the courage of one person is not enough, who dares to stop the courage of the three armies?

I don't know how long it took, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion who attacked the Horse Rejection Formation from north to south could already hear the fighting cries of the robes in the south. And Chen Youlong and other officers and soldiers of the D team, who fought in the rear of the Qing army from south to north, were also able to vaguely see the bloody figure of Pao Ze in the north.

At this time, the shouts belonging to the Flying Tiger Battalion were even stronger. The Qing army near the Horse Rejection Array was already overwhelmed.

Listening to the battle situation constantly reported from the front, Shen Zhixiang was not alarmed, and after a little contemplation or did not hesitate to pass down the military orders.

......

Before long, earth-shattering cheers rang out near the original horse rejection array.

The officers and men of the main force of the Flying Tiger Battalion and the robes of the Ding team who came to support were flanked on both sides, and after a fierce battle, they finally killed the Qing army and destroyed most of the horses, clearing a passage.

Now that the turning point has occurred, it is natural that it should not be easily let go. Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army had not launched a counterattack for the time being, Shi Youliang reorganized the formation a little and led the whole battalion to break out of the encirclement and go south.

Seeing that the Ming army successfully broke through, Shen Zhixiang's expression was unmoved, but his heart was very angry. This time it was not easy to attract this Ming army here, if nothing else, even if it could not be completely annihilated, it would be severely damaged. But now that he has escaped, how is it not a pity? Where should I go to find such a great place and opportunity in the future? Xu Tianpet that guy, it's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!

Although he was on fire, Shen Zhixiang still had a back hand, and immediately pointed out the main force of the cavalry army of the headquarters, including the part that had been feinted before, a total of 2,000 cavalry, led by the general Jin Guangyu, to pursue the Ming army, and strive to expand the results of the battle.

The pursued person became the current pursuer, and under the strong psychological rebound, the cavalry of the Qing army was arrogant and arrogant, shouting and screaming. Jin Guangyu is even more high-spirited and ambitious.

Due to the terrain restrictions, the soldiers in the battalion were exhausted, and although Shi Youliang was furious, he could only hold back for the time being and ignore it.

However, Jin Guangyu's pride did not last long, and when his cavalry pursued him to a fork in the road, an ambush suddenly came out and caught him off guard.

This is exactly the 500 cavalry of Gao Anping's division that Chen Youlong had arranged here before, in order to prevent the pursuit of the Qing army.

Gao Anping led the army out, disrupted the front row of the Qing cavalry, and after delaying its momentum, he didn't pay much attention to it, quickly disengaged from it, and chased the Flying Tiger Battalion away.

After such a surprise attack, although the loss of Jin Guangyubu was not too large, he had scruples and was worried that the Ming army would have any follow-up moves in the front, so he no longer pursued endlessly, and symbolically continued to chase south for a while before returning along the way he came.

......

After marching nearly 20 miles to the south, the Flying Tiger Battalion met the Gangfeng Battalion that came to meet them, and the two battalions merged into one unit, and it was already the second half of the night when they returned to Bao'an County.

Shi Youliang ordered to count the losses overnight, and finally found that the Flying Tiger Battalion lost more than 600 officers and soldiers and more than 500 horses in this battle. Among them, the D team led by Chen Youlong personally lost more than 160 people and more than 140 war horses.

Knowing this situation, Shi Youliang's remorse in his heart was beyond measure, and after arranging the aftermath, he locked himself in the room, got drunk, and went crazy for half the night.

It's no wonder he's so. Since the Flying Tiger Battalion broke through the siege of Ogigang two years ago, even if it fought against the Manchurian Tatars, there has never been a time when the losses have been so great, let alone that this time it was planted under the hands of traitors. This is a great shame for the Flying Tiger Battalion and Huguang Town. If he had been less impatient and patient, this humiliation might have been avoided. It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world. When you think about it, the remorse and hatred in your heart are really not enough for outsiders.

......

Three days later, Pang Yue, who learned the news, and the main army of Gao Yi Power arrived in Bao'an County.

That day, Shi Youliang found a time to go to Pang Yue's residence, and knelt down in front of him: "Dashuai, the last general deserves death!" ”

Pang Yue looked as usual, helped Shi Youliang up, and said in a calm tone: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it doesn't have to be like this!" Besides, this defeat is not your fault, and I am partly responsible. (To be continued.) )
