Chapter 374: The Daishan Army Caught Between Two Sides (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)

A part of the Green Battalion suddenly erupted and brazenly launched an attack on the Eight Banners, and the entire battlefield was even more chaotic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The deputy commander Borzigit led 2,000 cavalry straight into the rear of the attacking Ming army, and rushed north along the direction near the canal. The soldiers of the Daishan Army on the canal river boat sensed the intention of this group of Qing cavalry, and immediately turned their guns to bombard them.

The cannonballs whistled and flew towards the cavalry of the Qing army, plowing out a path of flesh and blood in the array of the cavalry, and no matter how fierce the cavalry was, as long as it was touched by the cannonballs, they would fall to their bones and break their tendons. However, compared to the huge array spread out by 2,000 cavalry, the bombardment of 100 guns, although terrifying, was mediocre.

The Eight Banners were different from the weak Green Battalion soldiers, this bit of artillery fire was not taken into account by them at all, and a round of artillery bombardment only caused casualties among dozens of cavalry. If it is replaced with scattered bullets, the casualties may be greater, but the Qing cavalry array is a little far away from the river boats on the canal, and the scattered ammunition is even more out of reach.

The number of Green Battalion soldiers who fled in the direction of the canal was extremely small, so the speed of the Eight Banners cavalry was completely increased. Two thousand iron horsemen swept in, and their momentum was simply earth-shattering, and all those who stood in front of them were trampled into powder by iron hooves. The small number of Green Battalion soldiers who fled in the direction of the canal stopped in shock, and saw that the cavalry that swept over the sky was all scattered. But it was difficult to escape in front of the fast-galloping cavalry, and they could only scream loudly to meet the trampling of iron hooves!

The deputy commander Borzigit didn't want to pay attention to these green battalion routs in front of him, and he didn't even have the idea of wielding a sword, but just took two thousand cavalry and crashed into the past, like a ploughshare plowing through the soft ground, and like a giant ship breaking through the waves in the sea, the two thousand cavalry easily knocked over all the obstacles in front of them, leaving behind countless broken corpses and terrified faces.

The green battalion soldiers who trampled on a few routs were not far ahead of the attacking Ming army array. Looking at their flustered and scattered formation, Borzigit believed that with a single blow, he could tear them apart!

He thought so, and did so, pulling the reins in one hand, and placing the knife flat on the saddle with the other, and the blade was ahead, so he rode forward, and slammed straight with two thousand cavalry, not even willing to come to shoot in front of the formation, and it was too delayed to take a bow and shoot arrows.

At this time, the 3,000 Daishan army was in extreme danger, and due to the agitation, the whole army pursued a little far, more than two miles from the canal, which was beyond the protection range of the ship's artillery.

When Ren Xingfan discovered the danger, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit and assemble to prepare to retreat. At this moment, Liu Liangzuo in front of him led 1,000 and 5 personal soldiers to break through the rout and pounced, while the 2,000 Mongolian cavalry behind were viciously trampling. All of a sudden, the situation became extremely dangerous.

From a hearty pursuit to a heavy encirclement of the enemy, this change came too quickly, and many officers and men of the Daishan Army were at a loss, and the queue was a little scattered for a while.

"Assemble quickly, set up a circle!" Ren Xingfan reacted quickly and immediately gave an order.

The effects of the long-term training were finally revealed, and the three thousand soldiers moved quickly, each finding their own position, and forming a circle formation.

On the periphery of the circle is a ring of three layers of pikemen, and in the center of the circle are three circles of musketeers. And Ren Xingfan and a few guards commanded in the center.

In the first circle, the pikemen took their shields and stood in front of them, crouching, their spears inserted into the ground, and the barrels of their spears pressed against the shields. The pikemen in the second circle pointed their spears diagonally into the air, and the pikemen in the third circle pointed their spears higher in the air.

Looking at the dense hedgehog-like circle formation of spears that suddenly appeared in front of him, Borzigit's eyes widened in shock, but the war horse galloped more than a mile away, and the Ming army was so tightly arrayed! How is this possible? When did the Ming army become so elite!

But the scene in front of him made him have to believe it, and all this happened under his eyelids. He watched the Ming army, who was still in a panic a moment ago, move in a short period of time, forming a circle, and then the spear stretched out and turned into an invulnerable hedgehog.

At this time, if you ride a horse to attack the Ming army's array, it will be equivalent to hitting the blade of the gun with your flesh, and you may really be able to break through the opponent's array, but how many lives will you have to fill in the Eight Banners?

When the war horse was about to rush to the Ming army's round formation, Borzigit hesitated, and before he could instigate the reins, the war horse under the crotch had automatically changed the direction of running, and the sharp spear in front made the war horse feel threatened, and the well-trained war horse did not want to hit the blade of the gun.

Just fifty paces before the circle, the two thousand Eight Banner cavalry drew a circle, turning from a direct collision to a sideways gallop. The two thousand Eight Bannermen unanimously hung up their sabers and drew their bows in the bows. However, before they could pull the bowstrings, clouds of white smoke rose from the Ming array, followed by the sound of "bang-bang" musket shots. People turn on their backs! Many of the Eight Banners soldiers felt that the war horse under the crotch trembled, and fell forward with a "poof", and the huge war horse was the best target for musket shooting, as the so-called shooting people first shot horses!

The fall of one war horse will trip more cavalry, and the array of 2,000 Mongol cavalry will be in chaos. And the high-speed galloping war horse will fall out, no matter how good your riding skills are, you will end up with a broken bone and tendons, and die.

In just one round of shooting, at least more than 100 horses were shot by muskets, and more than 200 cavalry were tripped down, and only in this round of the Eight Banners Mongol soldiers under Borzigit lost more than 300 horses. Frightened, Borzigit hurried away and temporarily ran out of range of muskets.

Only half of Liu Liangzuo's 1,500 personal soldiers were cavalry, and because they were in the routed Green Battalion to intercept the Ming army, their speed was not as fast as that of the Eight Banners of the Borzigit Division.

Originally, seeing that the Eight Banners took the lead in attacking the Ming army, Liu Liangzuo was overjoyed, and under the attack from both sides, this hateful Ming army would have no luck! But what happened next made him dumbfounded, and the powerful Eight Banners also bumped into the head and broke blood in front of the Ming army on the opposite side, so can more than 1,000 people end up well?

Looking at the hedgehog-like formation of the Ming army in front, Liu Liangzuo didn't feel a burst of bitterness in his mouth.

The 1,500 soldiers under his command are Liu Liangzuo's most trusted army, and it is also the basis for him to control the 50,000 army.

The blood in his brain subsided, and Liu Liangzuo had a retreat in his heart. At this moment, there was a bigger commotion in the south, and a burst of "anti-fucking" voices faintly came, could it be that the subordinates actually turned against the Qing Dynasty again!

Liu Liangzuo turned his head in horror and saw that a new battlefield had been formed more than a mile to the south. There, his subordinates are fighting with the Eight Banners led by Nikan!

ps: I originally wanted to take a break at the end of the month, but since my brother proposed to break out, I'll do my best. I'm not going to do anything today, codeword! (To be continued.) )
