Chapter 67: The Army That Collapsed the Enemy
"Flying Tiger Battalion! ——" As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, Shi Youliang shouted excitedly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This has almost become his slogan before the war.
"Victory!! An earth-shattering response ensued, and the mounted spears pointed flat forward, their sharp heads exuding the smell of death.
In the cavalry queue of the Flying Tiger Battalion, almost all the veterans who had followed Pang Yue as early as the Huangzhen period were gritting their teeth and spitting fire in their eyes. It's been more than a year since I escaped from Ogi Port last year. In the past year or so, as long as they think of those robes who died in Ogigang and Wuhu, their hearts cannot be calm for a long time. The strong desire for revenge prompts them to train harshly regardless of cold or summer, just waiting for the day when they can use their knives and guns to wash away the shame of failure. Now that the opportunity is in front of them, they can no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts.
As time passed, the smoke and dust on the ground became thicker and thicker, and the sound of horses' hooves from both directions intertwined, creating bursts of resonance.
Finally, with a sudden muffled sound, the cavalry of the Ming army and the cavalry of the Han army with blue flags collided together, and the sound of killing was like thunder on the ground, straight into the sky.
"Click!" "Flutter!" ....... accompanied by the sound of the broken barrels of the cavalry guns and the muffled sound of metal tearing flesh, the cavalry with the blue flag was not picked off their horses, and the cavalry of the Ming army was also hit and dropped from time to time. In the blink of an eye, the two armies had staggered.
After staggering with the Ming army, the cavalry with the blue flag rushed forward for nearly a hundred steps before reining in the horse's head. After Da Chun crossed the reins and completed the turn, he glanced around and found that his tight charging formation just now had been washed out a lot, and the number of people was much smaller. A large number of corpses dressed in blue and red-trimmed armor lay in the place where they passed before, and a large number of war horses that had lost their owners were scattering in all directions, and even Da Chun himself was almost stabbed by the Ming army's cavalry spear just now. After this round of fighting, Da Chun's contempt for the Ming army in his heart suddenly converged a lot.
At this time, the Flying Tiger Battalion C and the Dian Battalion cavalry had already rushed into the Qing army camp like a violent wind. For a while, the sword light was rolling, the blood was raining, and many Qing soldiers who had just come out of the tent were cut down to the ground before they could react. The survivors screamed and fled deeper into the camp, making the scene even more chaotic. Originally, although the green battalion lacked war horses, it was not difficult to deal with the more than 1,000 Ming cavalry with an absolute numerical advantage. However, I didn't expect the Ming cavalry to come so quickly, and the Qing army was scattered one after another before the whole team had no time to put up effective resistance, and even if some Qing soldiers took up arms to counterattack, because of the lack of unified command, they could not pose any threat to the Ming army at all. In the face of the Ming cavalry coming and going like the wind and the life-devouring steel knife forest, even some officials abandoned their subordinates and fled desperately under the panic, not to mention ordinary pawns.
For a time, the entire Qing army camp was in chaos, and Li Yingzong and Ke Yongsheng were also under the protection of their own soldiers, beckoning the surrounding Qing troops to fight and retreat, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Seeing that his camp was turned upside down by the Ming army, Da Chun couldn't help but be anxious, and even if he wanted to lead the team back to help. However, the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion A and B also completed the turn and rushed up again.
"Kill all the slaves! - Shi Youliang raised the big knife in his hand and let out a loud shout.
"Recover the rivers and mountains! - "The Ming cavalry in the shouting had already discarded their cavalry guns and drew their sabers, and the cavalry in the middle of the queue in the front position also raised their crossbows, which had been hung on their saddles and wound.
When the cavalry of both sides was only fifty paces away, a rain of arrows shot out of the Ming cavalry ranks, knocking the Qing cavalry over. At the same time, the archers in the Qing army also threw out bursts of arrows, shooting down some of the Ming cavalry who rushed to the front. …,
In an instant, the two teams of cavalry met again and began a face-to-face battle.
"Phew!" Shi Youliang's hand fell, and a head with a money rat tail spun and flew outward, splashing blood all over his face, but he continued to run to the next target without wiping it at all.
Although Shi Youliang is now the commander of the first battalion, he still has not lost the habit of killing the enemy with his own hands. After killing many people in a row, he had gradually entered the state, and he danced a large sword with great vigor, and everywhere he went, there was blood and screams, and no one could go through two rounds under his hands.
"Kill! - "Wang Zhangtang, who was already the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion, roared, drew a spear from one of the Qing cavalrymen, and swept it away, beating another Qing soldier to the point that his brain was splashing, and then he rushed to the next target without making any stops. The silver-white iron armor with the silver iron spear was like a sharp lightning bolt in the ranks of the Qing army.
The shouting of killing intensified, the battle gradually entered the white heat, and the rest of the Ming cavalry was also more and more brave as they fought, coupled with the advantage in numbers, the queue of the cavalry with the blue flag became more and more scattered and chaotic......
On the east bank of Gongshui, Tulai and other Manchurian generals were taken aback when they heard the movement on the west bank, they did not expect that the Ming army would take the initiative to go out of the city to attack the green camp without defending the fortified city. Thurai, in particular, was even more annoyed by his momentary miscalculation, but it had already happened, and there was no regret left. In order to salvage the situation, Turai hurriedly gathered his troops and prepared to cross the river to support.
However, now nearly half of the ships have been brought to the other side by the Green Battalion, and it is not easy for these thousands of men and horses to cross the river.
"Lord Tulai, it is difficult for the army to cross the river for a while, so let's bombard the Ming dog on the opposite bank with artillery first!" Durde came to Tourai and persuaded him.
Turai looked at the other side and shook his head: "The two armies have fallen into a melee, and artillery bombardment may not be able to achieve much success." Even if Li Yingzong and Ke Yongsheng are useless, they still have more than 10,000 people, plus Da Chun and them, they will not be defeated for a while. Let's hurry up and cross the river. After our army crosses the river, we can turn the situation back! ”
"Huh!" Durde replied reluctantly. In his opinion, goods like Li Yingzong and Ke Yongsheng are everywhere, as long as the Ming army is eliminated, why care about their life or death? Unfortunately, Turai did not accept his suggestion.
In the West Bank, fighting continues.
"Die! ——" After Wang Zhangtang stabbed a Qing cavalryman again, he roared happily, he couldn't remember how many enemy soldiers he had killed. With the gun in hand, Wang Zhangtang continued to ride forward, just as he was subconsciously looking for the next target, he suddenly found that there was no clear soldier in front of him. At this time, he realized that he had inadvertently killed the cavalry array of the Qing army.
After reining in the horse's head, Wang Zhangtang saw Shi Youliang not far away, and he had already killed the Qing cavalry array like himself. Now Shi Youliang, the battle robe, armor, and helmet are stained with a large area of red, as if soaked in blood water, and the black face that was originally full of beards looks particularly hideous after this rendering. Wang Zhangtang was about to laugh, but found that his image was not much better, and almost everywhere he could see was red.
At this time, Najia La's Ezhen Dachun was also covered in blood, and the blood stains on his body were both those of the Ming army and his own. He couldn't remember how many attacks he had blocked from the Ming army and how many Ming soldiers he had cut down, in short, the whole person was out of breath, and the arm holding the knife began to tremble slightly. At this time, Da Chun had completely put away his previous contempt for this Ming army, and replaced it with an incomparable shock: what kind of Ming army is this? Fighting almost regardless of life and death, tireless, the outbreak of combat power made one side almost unable to parry! In the face of such a group of red-eyed madmen, not to mention that most of the cavalry under his command are some Han army bannermen, even if they are all replaced by Manchurian bannermen, they may not be able to bargain much in front of them. …,
Just as Da Chun was panting and sighing, a large group of Ming cavalry rushed towards him again after turning their horses, led by a black-faced general covered in blood. There is no way, the Jiala flag next to Da Chun is too conspicuous.
"For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, kill! - "Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, Da Chun accepted the challenge of the Ming army without hesitation and met him with a group of guards......
In the camp of the Qing army, after the Flying Tiger Battalion C and the Dian Battalion cavalry who launched a surprise attack slashed and slashed several times back and forth, they were already ready to turn around and return. There was no way, although the Qing army was caught off guard, after all, it was in an absolute advantage in numbers, and after the initial chaos, it had gradually stabilized its position and began to organize a counterattack against the Ming army. In particular, those soldiers of the Han army with blue flags have begun to cause casualties to the cavalry of the Ming army. In the face of this situation, He Zhenting and Zhao Yinxuan naturally have no need to continue to entangle, after all, if there are too many ants, they will bite the elephant to death, so it is better to be cautious. Moreover, their tasks have basically been completed, and there is a finale waiting for the Qing army behind.
After continuing to rush and kill for a while, He Zhenting and Zhao Yinxuan began to lead the team back along the way they came. Seeing the return of the Ming army, the Qing army was immediately relieved, and due to the lack of war horses, it was not easy to pursue, so they had to let the Ming cavalry leave.
After disengaging from the Qing army, He Zhenting and Zhao Yinxuan continued to lead the team to assist the Flying Tiger Battalion A and B to flank the Han army's cavalry with blue flags. The blue-banner cavalry, which had already suffered heavy losses, faced the flanking attack of the superior Ming army, and the situation became even worse.
Seeing the Ming army leaving, Li Yingzong and Ke Yongsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, they soon discovered that things were far from simple: hundreds of paces away, crowds of people and thunderous footsteps, a large phalanx of Ming infantry was pushing towards this side. The strict iron shields, the spears like forests, and the strict pace all bring great pressure.
