Chapter 13: The Bloody Battle of Wuhu (2)

The Han army, which was followed by the two Zhang and one Liu, had more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 4,000 infantry. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info were inferior in numbers, this group of fake Tartars still rushed towards the Ming army like chicken blood.

After the Ming cavalry on both flanks dispersed the traitor cavalry in front, they collided with the Han Eight Banner cavalry without making the slightest stop. As soon as they clashed, the Ming cavalry found themselves encountering a more difficult opponent than the previous traitor cavalry. These fake Tartars are much stronger than Zhang and Liu Ji in terms of fighting will and tactical coordination. Because they had fought with the traitor army cavalry for a while, the cavalry of the Ming army was already a little tired in terms of manpower and horsepower, and now they encountered the Han Eight Banners, which were almost waiting for work, and were somewhat caught off guard.

Soon after the battle, the formation of the Ming cavalry on the left flank was concave by the cavalry of the Han Eight Banners. Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army was caught off guard, the fake Tartars were even more excited, and they arrogantly rampaged, slashing left and right in the Ming army's formation. This is also their past experience, in their memory, most of the Ming Dynasty armies are unbearable, as long as they rush to kill a few in their formations and kill those who dare to resist, the others will collapse without a fight. Only this time, the fake Tartars of the Han Eight Banners undoubtedly miscalculated. Their arrogant actions not only did not have much of a so-called deterrent effect, but greatly angered the Ming cavalry.

The cavalry battalion officer of the Ming army on the left flank is called Ma Dingwei, who is also a general who has followed Huang Degong for many years, and when he saw that his soldiers were cut down one by one, he was immediately furious, and without saying a word, he rushed towards a Zhenghongqi Niu Lu Zhangjing who was slashing the Ming army. Seeing this, the soldiers around Niu Lu Zhangjing came up to stop him. Ma Dingwei sneered, and the horse lance flipped slightly, and he had already picked off the two fake Tartar soldiers off the horse. Ma Dingwei's personal soldiers also followed, fighting with the personal soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Niu Lu Zhangjing. Ma Dingwei smashed a fake Tartar soldier off his horse, and then took the Niu Lu Zhangjing directly. Seeing that Niu Lu Zhangjing was so brave, he was also a little stunned in his heart, but he didn't let him think about it, and the horse lance in Ma Dingwei's hand smashed towards his head with a thousand momentum. Niu Lu Zhangjing's head shrank, and subconsciously used the knife in his hand to block, after a sonorous metal collision, the knife in Niu Lu Zhangjing's hand flew somewhere, but the power of the horse lance was undiminished and Niu Lu Zhangjing's right arm was broken. It was also thanks to that Niu Lu Zhangjing's rich experience that he grabbed the reins in time to not fall off the horse, but his right arm was broken, but he didn't dare to fight anymore no matter what, and he also withdrew from the battle group under the protection of his own soldiers. Ma Dingwei didn't care about him anymore and directly looked for the next target.

Under the leadership of Ma Dingwei, almost all of the angry left-wing Ming cavalry forgot their fatigue, became more and more courageous, and relied on their numerical superiority to turn the situation back little by little. However, the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was also extremely tenacious, and with more sufficient physical strength and horsepower, they desperately fought against the Ming army. It was difficult for the Ming army to defeat it for a while, so the two sides formed a stalemate situation.

The situation of the Ming cavalry on the right flank was similar to that of the left flank, and after suffering some losses at the beginning, it was now in a stalemate with the cavalry of the Han Eight Banners. However, in the middle lane, the infantry of the Han Eight Banners did not take advantage of the slightest advantage from the beginning, and several times they attacked the shield wall of the Ming army in vain, but were killed and injured by the bows and crossbows and javelins in the back. 4,000 against 10,000, even if the fake Tartars of the Han Eight Banners learned a little bit of the bravery of the real Tartars, it would be useless, not to mention that the current officers and soldiers of Huangzhen are by no means comparable to those miscellaneous Ming troops who ran out of Erli Land as soon as they heard that the Tartars were coming. If it weren't for the Ming army's infantry mainly taking a defensive position, the Han Eight Banner infantry would have been defeated and retreated. However, even so, these fake Tartars still showed great tenacity, constantly looking for flaws in the Ming army to attack the Ming army, although it did not help the overall situation, but also caused a little casualties to the Ming army. …,

Unknowingly, it has been nearly two hours since they were fighting, and Huang Degong and Nikan did not send troops up to reinforce them, but kept observing each other's details. Seeing that the 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry of the Ming army were not inferior to their own 20,000 horses, Nikan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Although he was also very aware of the strength of Zhang Tianlu and Liu Liangzuobu, such a result still made him extremely unwilling.

"It seems that I really underestimated this Huang Degong." Nikan sighed and commanded to his side, "It's almost noon, give the order to go down, and Mingjin should withdraw his troops." ”

Seeing that the Qing army began to retreat, Huang Degong did not order the pursuit, but also gave the order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the two armies at the war broke away from contact and retreated to their respective large formations. As it was close to noon, after the Ming army and the Qing army withdrew the fighting soldiers and horses, they began to bury the pot and prepare for the next fierce battle. During this period, the two sides did not relax their vigilance, and stared at each other while seizing the time to rest.

After Liu Liangzuo, Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu gathered their respective defeated troops, they cautiously came to Nikan to "ask for guilt", and Nikan didn't say anything, just asked them to lead the team down to rest and recuperate expressionlessly. The three of them fled Nikan's field of vision as if they had been amnesty.

On the position of the Flying Tiger Battalion of the Ming Army, the officers and soldiers had already begun to eat.

Shi Youliang sat cross-legged beside Pang Yue, nibbling on the steamed bun in his hand, and said with a big grin: "My lord, according to his subordinates, that Jiannu is nothing great, just like that bird, he said that he is invincible in the world, and he can't ask for anything good in front of us just now?" ”

Pang Yue swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Zhou Ming, it's right to be confident, if we want to defeat Jiannu, we can't be afraid of him first. But don't be underestimated! In addition to the newly attached traitor army under Liu Liangzuo and Zhang Tianlu, who fought with our army just now, they were just some Han Eight Banners and fake slaves. But you didn't find it, even if it was a group of fake Jiannu, if our army wanted to completely defeat them, it would take a certain amount of effort, not to mention, the real Manchu Eight Banners Jiannu had not yet played. ”

"Hehe, even if it's a Manchurian Jiannu, so what? Could it be that these turtle grandchildren still have two lives? Shi Youliang still said nonchalantly.

Pang Yue smiled, and didn't say anything anymore, but said to a few subordinates around him: "In the afternoon, there will definitely be a fierce battle. This time, there is a chance that Manchurian Jiannu will play. Let's talk about it, when will the commander send our battalion to play? ”

It stands to reason that this kind of question should not be asked by the commander of the first battalion to his subordinates, but what can Pang Yue do? After traveling to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he only fought one battle in total, and he had almost no understanding of Huang Degong's past habits, and these subtleties were almost nowhere to be found in the historical materials of later generations. Fortunately, since this period of time, the subordinates have long been accustomed to Pang Yue's abnormal behavior, and this time they did not show the surprised expression they had before.

Lu Qiwu said: "My lord, our Flying Tiger Battalion is one of the troops directly under the commander, and it usually acts together with the commander's standard battalion. But this time, I think it's going to be a game soon. The main force of more than 20,000 Manchu Han and Eight Banners in Jiannu has been recuperating for a long time, and a small half of the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the front army of our army are already exhausted. Once the front army is struggling, the marshal will definitely be the first to send us up for reinforcements. ”

Zhang Yunli shook his head: "I don't think so, our battalion is a mixed battalion of horse and infantry, and this kind of formation has its advantages when fighting against small-scale rogues, but if it is put into the front line when tens of thousands of troops are engaged, it will be inconvenient in command and dispatch." The big coach will not ignore this, unless it is absolutely necessary, I am afraid it will not be our turn to play. ”…,

"There's no way we're going to keep watching, is it? The brothers are all in front of us, and we can still hide in the back and watch? Shi Youliang glared at the bull's eye.

"Then how does the marshal arrange for us?" Lu Qiwu also couldn't wait to ask.

"This time we are facing Jiannu, who is good at riding and shooting, and with the style of the marshal in the past, it is estimated that if it really comes to a critical moment this time, the marshal will first send his standard battalion cavalry. Then one or two battalions from the reserve were drawn to strengthen the Chinese army. Our battalion is likely to be among the drawers," Zhang Yunli carefully analyzed.

Hearing Zhang Yunli say this, Lu Qiwu felt that there was really a possibility, Huang Degong's standard battalion cavalry was almost the first elite in Huang Zhen, and Huang Degong had also put the standard battalion into field battles many times before.

Zhang Yunli's analysis convinced everyone, and even Cui Shoucheng, who had not spoken, nodded. Through this period of contact, Pang Yue found that his deputy was not simple, he was very calm in trouble, he was very meticulous in analyzing problems, and he also wrote well. As a martial artist, it is not easy to do this.

"Alas! After all, I still can't go into battle to kill the enemy in person! Shi Youliang slammed his fist on the ground and let out a heavy sigh, causing everyone present to laugh.

*********

After the Ming army rested for more than half an hour after lunch, they heard the sound of the horn of the assembled bull horn on the Qing army position in the distance. Looking up, I vaguely saw groups of infantry beginning to form a formation, and the cavalry began to saddle their horses.

After a while, the battalions of the Ming army also received the order to assemble the whole team, and the position was suddenly busy.

The most critical moment is coming! Pang Yue commanded the various teams in the camp to assemble, and his heart was also boiling. Since coming to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Pang Yue's heart has been very conflicted, on the one hand, looking forward to the arrival of this moment, wanting to see if he can change the direction of history as a modern person; On the other hand, he was a little at a loss, because the identity that God had arranged for himself was really insignificant in such a big change.

Now, whether you are looking forward to it or worrying about it, this moment has finally come.
