Xu Yong was full of confidence, thinking that with the most elite more than 1,000 cavalry under his command, he would definitely be able to give the Ming army a head-on blow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Under the impact of the Ming cavalry lined up in a dense formation, he had always been proud, and he didn't know how many Ming troops had been beaten This cavalry was killed in an instant.

The roaring 2,000 Ming cavalry were like a sharp blade cut into the tofu, easily rushing out of the green camp cavalry, and directly collided with the Han army's white flag cavalry behind.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Yong was stunned, the more than 1,000 cavalry under his command didn't even play much role in delaying the Ming army's attack, what kind of Ming army is this?

Seeing that the Ming army broke through the array of green battalion soldiers in such a short period of time, the white flag Baya Laxuan Zhang Jinggang Lin A was also surprised, and the contempt in his heart had gone for the most part, and after he led the team to officially hand over the Ming army, he personally felt the unusualness of this Ming army. The cavalry of the Ming army in front of him is said to be not very outstanding in terms of individual riding skills, but it is extremely well-trained in terms of the overall battle formation, and the dense and strict formation does not show any confusion in the process of high-speed charge, and its officers and soldiers mostly use riding spears and horses and wide-backed sabers, and their lethality should not be underestimated.

After another fierce collision and fighting, the cavalry of the Ming army once again rushed against the cavalry of more than 1,200 Han troops with white flags. After this rush, the Han Army's banner cavalry also had a trace of chaos, but fortunately, its organization was far stricter than that of the Green Battalion, and there were many combat backbones working hard to support it. It was not swept away like the Green Battalion soldiers.

At this time, Shi Youliang was already full of spirits on his face. Because of the almost cruel and harsh approach he took in training on weekdays, he didn't know how much criticism he had suffered, but fortunately, Pang Yue had always supported him very much. Although the soldiers had some complaints, they did not dare to be lazy. And in today's battle, the effect of the rigorous training in the past has finally been reflected!

At this moment, a thunderous sound of iron hooves rolling sounded again in the direction of the Qing army's large array, and thousands of cavalry of the Han army with white flags rushed towards this side. Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army in front of him was so difficult, Tong Tulai ordered all the Bayala battalions and Aliha Chaoha battalions to be dispatched, and also sent some auxiliaries to support, in an attempt to annihilate the Ming army in the shortest possible time with the momentum of thunder.

"Retreat!" After discovering that a large number of Qing army reinforcements rushed over, Shi Youliang naturally would not do it again. Ordered all to turn, quickly broke through some of the Han army banners and the obstruction of the green battalion cavalry, and then rushed south. The entire formation looked much more scattered, and there was no longer the majesty and solemnity it had before.

"Hahaha......" Seeing the embarrassed fleeing of the Ming cavalry, Tong Tulai couldn't help laughing. Although these Nikans are a little difficult, they still show cowardice in front of my Eight Banners Iron Horseman. On my command, all the light cavalry will pursue first, and the Bayala battalion and foot soldiers will follow, and these Nikans must be wiped out! ”

"Your Excellency. This matter needs to be cautious," the speaker is the son of the Han army with a white flag Maile Zhangjing Zu Zepei and the Ming general Zu Dashou, "This Ming army has been defeated strangely, I am afraid there is fraud in it." If our army pursues rashly, in case ......"

"What if?" Tong Tulai shouted disapprovingly. "From here to the city of Changsha, it is a smooth road. With more than 10,000 people in our army. Are you still afraid that the Ming army will not be able to play any tricks? As long as this Ming army that dares to fight is annihilated, the rest of the puppet Ming army will inevitably be frightened, and no one can stop the pace of our army's advance! Hmph, if you're afraid, stay at the end! ”

After finishing speaking, Tong Tulai no longer paid attention to Zu Zepei, and directly ordered the heralds around him to give the order to pursue.

Seeing this, Zu Zepei could only shake his head helplessly.

Dingjia Village, more than ten miles away

A team of scouts came from the north with smoke and dust, and passed through the layers of military formations in the wilderness until they came to the handsome flag with the word "Pang". The leader turned over and dismounted, and reported excitedly: "Lord Qiyu, the Qing army has been chasing in the direction of Dingjia Village!" ”

Hearing the news, Pang Yue and the generals around him were all smiling, and Tong Tulai was really fooled! That being the case, let's wait and see!

"General Chen, Deputy General Wang," Pang Yue said to Chen Youlong, the general of Wugang Town, and Wang Yuncai, the deputy general of Changde Town, "When the Qing captives chase this place, they will definitely be tired and confused, and they will have to rely on the two generals to show their skills at that time." ”

"Where does Dingwu Bo say, it is the duty of our generals to kill the enemy for the country, why do we need so much courtesy?" Wang Yuncai smiled and humbly conceded, he did not think that killing the tired soldiers of the Qing army was such a difficult task, but regarded it as a ready-made meritorious opportunity.

"Uncle Dingwu is too polite, Tartar is a bird! Later, I'll see how my old Chen cleans them up! Chen Youlong, who was short and strong, also said with a big grin.

"That's good," Pang Yue nodded with a smile, "As long as the officers and soldiers of my three towns work together, we will definitely let this Qingyu vanguard come and go!" ”

Wang Yuncai and Chen Youlong said yes one after another, and then listened to Pang Yue explain some things and returned to their respective military formations.

At this time, the Ming army had already lined up in the wilderness north of Dingjia Village, facing north. In the forward position of the army were the 6,000 infantry of the Gangfeng Battalion and the Broken Army Camp and the more than 300 artillery of the Agni Battalion, the left flank was 1,500 cavalry led by Wang Yuncai, and the right flank was more than 1,200 cavalry led by Chen Youlong. Pang Yue was in the position of the central army together with the 4,000 officers and soldiers trapped in the camp, as a battlefield reserve. In addition, more than 100 artillery battalions and more than a dozen Hongyi guns were also arranged on the hillock on the east side of Dingjia Village as a long-range strike force.

Looking at the soldiers who were waiting for battle, Pang Yue's confidence rose a little more, and he quietly looked ahead, waiting for the moment when the big battle came.

After less than two quarters of an hour, smoke and dust rose from the north, and the sound of thunderous iron hooves tumbling became more and more intense.

Hearing this voice, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Ming Army were all shocked, tightly clutched the weapons in their hands, stared ahead with wide eyes, and waited for the order from the superior.

……

After Shi Youliang saw his own army formation in front of him, he was very determined, and immediately led half of the men and horses with Gao Tianhu, deputy of the Flying Tiger Battalion, to go around the rear of the army formation from both sides.

Even if you feign defeat and escape, it is uncomfortable to be chased by the enemy for more than ten miles, and there were even some Ming cavalry who fell behind at the end just now who were chased and killed by the Qing army. As soon as he thought of this, Shi Youliang felt extremely aggrieved, but he believed that he would soon be able to breathe a good breath.

Seeing that the "defeated soldiers" of the Ming army in front of them suddenly divided into two groups and rushed towards both sides, the cavalry of the Qing army, who were shouting and chasing wildly, were stunned at first, and then they were taken aback. As their eyes gradually dispersed, they saw that less than a mile away in front of them had been lined up in several orderly Ming army formations, with flags covering the sky and riding on foot, with tens of thousands of people.

Suddenly, the excited screams of the Qing cavalry turned into exclamations, and the officers in the queue hurriedly reined in their horses' heads and shouted that the whole team was not joking, since the Ming army was prepared, it was not a joke. However, after chasing for more than ten miles in a row, the men and horses in the army were already a little tired, and the formation had lost its previous rigor and became scattered.

Some of the Qing cavalry who were in too much hurry even ran out of the brigade for twenty or thirty steps before receiving the order of the whole team, and then looked at the black and oppressive Ming army in front of them, and quickly turned their horses' heads and returned.

Taking advantage of the confusion of the Qing army's pursuit, the Ming cavalry that had been pursued earlier broke away from their entanglement and returned to the Chinese army to rest.

Soon, Tong Tulai and several Qing generals arrived under the escort of the Bayala battalion, and they were also surprised to see the Ming army formation opposite.

"My lord, we were fooled. The Ming army really had a conspiracy! Zu Zepei said anxiously, "Just in case, our army should withdraw one after another!" ”

Compared with Zu Zepei, who was anxious and flustered, although Tong Tulai was also surprised, he was far from losing confidence. He took a general look at the surrounding terrain, there were many wilderness and gentle hills, and the layout of the Ming army in front of him was almost unobstructed, but it was only in the early 10,000s, and there could be no other ambush soldiers in addition.

Seeing this, Tong Tulai was very relieved, and even felt very disdainful of Zu Zepei's panic. There are more than 10,000 troops on their own side, and more than 7,000 cavalry, and after the formation is formed, they will launch a general attack on the Ming army, not afraid that they will not be defeated, what is there to be afraid of?

"Pass the order, let all departments hurry up and form a team, if there is a panic and do not listen to the order, it will be killed!" Tong Tulai glared at the bull's eye and shouted at the herald beside him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, before the herald could answer, a series of loud noises were heard from the hillock in front of him, and white smoke rose from the sky. Immediately afterward, more than a dozen large iron balls brought out a sharp whistling in the air, flying from the top of the hill to the Qing cavalry that was still in the whole team.

"Ahh ――”

"The artillery of the Ming army! ――”

……

Clouds of blood mist rose from the Qing cavalry array, and the screams, exclamations, and neighing of war horses suddenly rose, and the formation that had just been formed was scattered again.

This is exactly the fire fired by the Hongyi artillery group arranged by Pang Yue on the hillock in the northeast of the village, and at a distance of less than a mile, even the Hongyi three-pounder cannon can hit, let alone the six-pounder cannon with a range of nearly two miles. This round of shelling was like adding fuel to the fire, accelerating the panic of the Qing army and greatly delaying the progress of their whole team.

As soon as the cannon fell, Pang Yue's Chinese military command flag moved, and the majestic drum beat followed. The cavalry on both flanks began to slowly accelerate, outflanking the Qing troops who had recovered from the shelling from both sides. Subsequently, the infantry and artillery of the three battalions of the front army and the Chinese army also began to move forward, and the sound of neat and powerful steps shook the earth and pressed people's hearts, and at the forefront was a row of shiny artillery.

"My lord, get out of here! The puppet Ming army has sinister intentions and comes prepared! If you don't withdraw, I'm afraid it'll be too late! Looking at the black pressure and the Ming army coming from three directions, Zu Zepei shouted at Tong Tulai again... )
