Chapter 44: The Northern Expedition! Northern expedition! (5)

Most battles in history are dominated by frontal battlefield confrontations, especially when both sides of the war are prepared, and those tricks can only be used as a pavement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only by defeating the enemy army with dignified and upright soldiers on the frontal battlefield can the enemy's will collapse and he will not dare to rise up to resist again.

When the two armies meet, the brave wins!

The Battle of Muye, the Battle of Yin and Jin, the Battle of Julu, the Battle of Pengcheng, the Battle of Hefei, etc., all relied on the bravery of the soldiers and defeated the enemy head-on, which laid the foundation for the great achievements of these victors.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Jurchens were invincible. It was the Ming army that defeated the Qing army again and again on the frontal battlefield, and defeated the will and courage of the Ming army.

That's why as soon as the Ming army saw the Qing army, it was immediately defeated, and it didn't even have the courage to resist.

After taking refuge in the Qing army, these Ming troops became vigorous and brave again.

Now the Zheng family army, under the leadership of Zheng Chenggong and the Great Western Army under the leadership of Li Dingguo, has defeated the Qing army many times, and these soldiers are no longer afraid of the Qing army.

The field battle of the Qing army is nothing more than that!

Zhou Quanbin led the fifteenth army to Xi'an, and along the way, the spies informed the commander of the movements of the Qing army.

"The Qing army has passed through Hu County!"

"The cavalry of the Qing army has arrived in Zhouzhi!"

"The Qing army is only eighty-two kilometers away from our army!"

……

The spies brought back the news that the Qing army's iron cavalry was killed from the left side of the army, and Zhou Quanbin immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, adjust the formation, and prepare to resist the Qing army's attack.

Soon the Qing army's iron cavalry appeared in front of Zheng Jiajun's eyes, looking at the cavalry of nearly 10,000 people in front of him on a flat ground seventy kilometers south of the Wei River.

Zhou Quanbin's heart is full of greed, how good it would be if these war horses were his own!

It is not that the south does not produce horses, but that it does not breed war horses in batches.

War horses and horses are two concepts.

A qualified war horse needs to have horsepower, which horses from the south do not have.

A few hundred horses are fine, but too many are not good.

There are not so many vast grasslands in the south for a large number of horses to gallop and cultivate horsepower.

Horses in captivity can only be used as horses, and they cannot be qualified cavalry horses.

Cavalry can become the king of land warfare with cold weapons, in addition to its powerful impact, it has extraordinary movement ability.

The cavalry holds the initiative on the battlefield, and he can attack at any time and from any direction.

But the infantry could only defend passively.

In the last Battle of Guiyang, Zheng Jiajun also arranged traps in advance, and with Guiyang City and Hong Chengchou as bait, Wu Sangui was fooled and defeated the Qing army.

In this Northern Expedition, Zheng Jiajun will face greater challenges.

For the north is not as hilly as the south, and the land is soft.

The north is more conducive to the play of the iron cavalry, otherwise Esai would not have thought that he would dare to attack the 150,000 army of the Zheng family army head-on with only 8,000 iron cavalry.

The two armies confronted each other solemnly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

There is no need to say anything to persuade you to surrender at this time, because everyone knows that this is just nonsense.

Looking at Zheng Jiajun in front of him, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he raised the saber in his hand high.

The horn sounds!

In a very short period of time, more than 8,000 iron horsemen adjusted their formation and formed a large cone formation composed of countless cones that was conducive to the cavalry charge.

At the sharpest tip of the cone is none other than Dutong Hahamu.

The Iron Rider gradually accelerated and began to charge.

The constantly flying iron hooves shook up the dust on the ground, and from a distance, it was like a black cloud rushing forward.

The speed of the iron riding ground is getting faster and faster, straight like a rolling and rushing turbulent wave, unstoppable.

Eight thousand against one hundred and fifty thousand!

It seemed like a mortal situation, but none of the Qing cavalry retreated, and no one was afraid.

Esai wanted to use the iron cavalry to tell Zheng Jiajun that the invincible glory and bloodiness of my Qing Dynasty iron cavalry.

"Kill!" His eyes were full of bloodthirsty desire, and he let out a lion's roar and howled wildly, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed out like an arrow from a string.

"Kill!" More than 8,000 Qing army iron horsemen roared in unison, echoing the forehead.

Seeing the Qing army's iron cavalry attacking, Zhou Quanbin hurriedly ordered the Tenth Army and the Ninth Army to outflank them from the left and right flanks.

He led the Eighth Army to confront the Qing army from the front.

Zhou Quanbin ordered all the carriages and ox carts of the Eighth Army to line up in a circular barracks, and more than 3,000 light horsemen galloped on horseback to harass them from the side.

The formation is only as good as it can be laid out.

The Qing army had already reached a hundred meters of Zheng's army, and the artillery had not yet had time to fire.

The musketeers of the Zheng family fired first, and there was a bang, and the cavalry on the front line of the Qing army's iron cavalry was shot, and the whole person was like a heavy hammer, knocking and falling.

Even if you don't die, you will be trampled to death by a war horse.

Those dead cavalrymen, Ha Ha Mu didn't even look at them, his eyes were only on Zheng Jiajun.

has already rushed into a hundred meters, Hahamu suddenly yelled, "Ready, throw!" ”

The Qing Iron Cavalry took out a horsetail grenade from his waist, waved it and threw it forward.

The spinning grenade was thrown into the front army of the Zheng family army with sparks.

Seeing the thing waving in the hands of the Qing army's iron riders, Zhou Quanbin immediately reacted, what is that.

Ponytail grenade!

A firearm that once brought great damage to Zheng Jiajun.

Before Zhou Quanbin could react, the flaming horsetail grenades exploded with a bang.

Under the action of the huge shock wave, hundreds of fragmented steel balls flew in all directions.

Even the soldiers in iron armor fell to the ground with several steel balls in their bodies under the impact of this explosion.

The cavalry of the Qing army took advantage of the situation to rush in, and the front army of the Zheng family army suddenly fell into a burst of chaos.

Mercedes-Benz China Iron Ride, once it collides head-on, its impact is terrifying.

Blood splattered, limbs flying, swords and guns.

For a time, the front army of the Zheng family army involuntarily retreated with the men and horses.

Zhou Quanbin suddenly drew his sword, beheaded a retreating soldier to death with a sword, and drank: "The whole army is holding on, and you must not take half a step back." Those who violate the present will be killed! ”

The Qing army's iron cavalry rushed into the formation, less than three hundred paces away from his commander, and even a three-stone strong bow could threaten him.

Zhou Quanbin was unmoved, gritted his teeth and persevered.

Zhou Quanbing's composure commanded the whole army, and Zheng Jiajun also recovered from the panic at the beginning.

Obeying the general's orders, he acted.

Bands of shield soldiers began to rush to the front, shields in their hands, fending off the roaring iron horsemen.

The rest of the soldiers attacked the Qing cavalry that broke into the formation from the left and right, and wantonly charged and slashed.

There are soldiers of the Zheng family army all around, and the muskets are easy to accidentally injure teammates. Drop the bullet, put the bayonet on.

The Qing army waved its sabers, Zheng Jiajun's bayonets stabbed, and blood flowers flew all over the sky.

The casualties of the Qing army's iron cavalry and Zheng's soldiers all skyrocketed.

His eyes were blood-red, "Kill!" Kill! Kill! A furious roar came out of his mouth.

How so?

It shouldn't be like this!

It shouldn't be like this!

Aren't these southerners all greedy for life and afraid of death, weak and incompetent, why haven't they been defeated!

My Qing Dynasty iron cavalry has defeated their front army, why don't they flee and leave their backs to us to cut and kill.

The Chinese army stood still, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army used their flesh and blood to block the impact of the Qing army's iron cavalry.

The cavalry rushed forward for nearly 500 meters, and they could no longer break through the defense line of the Zheng family's army.

Once the cavalry has no impact and no room to detour, the cavalry is finished!

On horseback, there's not much room to dodge. The bayonets stabbed from all directions could not be dodged at all.

Countless Qing cavalry killed the Zheng family's army, and Dutong Hahamu was already dead!

Although he was not seriously injured, his head was scattered, and his body was stained with blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Beside Esai, there were less than 3,000 cavalry left in the Qing army.

Surrounded by the Zheng family's army, which was hundreds of times or even twice as high, the Qing army's iron cavalry was completely powerless, and one after another Qing cavalry was stabbed off their horses.

As soon as he blocked a knife, another shot came straight to the forehead plug.

An iron cavalryman of the Qing army rode his horse in front of the head of the horse, and was shot through the chest by Zheng Jiajun, "Master, ...... Walk! ”

Looking at the Qing army iron cavalry who died in battle, his eyes were red, he opened his throat, and shouted with the greatest strength: "Withdraw, withdraw!" ”

Throwing out the few ponytail grenades that had been saved, a gap was opened.

Esai took the lead and galloped in the direction of the north.

The initiative in the war is in your hands!

It's up to you when it starts, but it's up to us when it ends.

Zhou Quanbin drank Zheng Jiajun like a maggot attached to the bones, and he stubbornly entangled the forehead plug and others.

The 3,000 light cavalry of the Zheng family army were also desperately blocking the escape speed of the Qing army's iron cavalry.

One chases, one escapes!

It was not until nightfall that the Qing army's iron cavalry escaped from the pursuit of the Zheng family army under the cover of night. (To be continued.) )
