Wang Luyun, who was galloping at the front, saw Li Hongzhang and others in front at a glance, although Li Hongzhang and others had already thrown away signs such as military flags, but more than 100 people who fled on horseback were still shining like fireflies in the night.

Wang Luyun didn't have to carefully distinguish the clothes these people were wearing, he only needed to know one thing, and that was to leave them behind!

Wang Luyun led the raid of cavalry no longer as many as before the battle, and lost at least 200 cavalry in the initial cavalry duel, and then sent about 300 cavalry to pursue the fleeing Jianghuai new army cavalry to prevent them from coming back, and the remaining cavalry was only 500 cavalry.

But in this case, five hundred horsemen are enough to sweep the entire battlefield!

I saw Wang Luyun with five hundred horsemen like a tornado, swept from the northeast, they crossed the artillery position that had fled on their own, did not go to cut and kill, did not stop their horses to catch this kind of artillery prisoners, but continued to gallop forward, except for the occasional unlucky rout on the road who were killed because of blocking the road, they did not entangle with the rout of the Jianghuai New Army, but soon rushed to a place less than 100 meters away from Li Hongzhang and others.

An officer of the Jianghuai New Army wearing a warm hat and wearing regular clothes turned his head to look at the pursuers behind him, and immediately shouted: "My lord, you go first!" ”

Then he waved his saber and returned with nearly fifty horsemen, and actually rushed towards Wang Luyun's five hundred horsemen, trying to stop their pace and cover the escape of Li Hongzhang and others.

Wang Luyun looked at this small-scale cavalry after the break, and his face showed a trace of disdain, why. Because just by looking at the formation of these fifty cavalry, you can know that these cavalry are not the main cavalry in the Jianghuai New Army. Because it's a role like a personal guard.

The personal guards around these high-ranking generals didn't say anything about loyalty and personal bravery, but they said it anyway. They were just a group of guards on horseback, and their combat effectiveness was naturally far inferior to that of regular cavalry.

The formation of these horse guards is far inferior to the cavalry of the Jianghuai New Army who fought with the cavalry of the Chinese Army before, not to mention the loose formation, and even the running speed of the war horses is different.

Looking at these people, the corners of Wang Luyun's mouth showed disdain: If hundreds of regular cavalry come, maybe they can stop me, but it's up to you?

"Tighten your formation and rush straight over!" Wang Luyun loudly passed orders to the officers around him, and the officers around him shouted one after another. Use the relay method to pass Wang Luyun's orders to every cavalryman.

In an instant, the formation, which had been slightly loose due to the high-speed pursuit, instantly became tighter, and even the speed of the war horse slowed down, not saying that it remained at the top speed as before.

And the next moment, these cavalry seemed to become a whole, the speed of the war horses became the same, from the side, the front row of war horses ran like a straight line, and the cavalry on the war horses leaned forward slightly. The riding knife on his right hand has naturally hung down to the right front.

And the more than 50 Li Hongzhang's escort cavalry who faced their onslaught only felt that what was ahead of them was not the enemy cavalry, but a huge and incomparably huge wave that rushed straight towards them.

But they didn't back down. He didn't even change direction, but just hit it straight up!

In the next moment, these more than 50 horsemen rushed into the cavalry phalanx of the Chinese army one after another. However, the huge cavalry phalanx of the Chinese army did not stop for even half a second because of them, and they still did not use it too fast. But the neat gallop swept across the battlefield, like a wave that swallowed up the more than fifty Li Hongzhang's escort cavalry.

More than ten seconds later. The entire cavalry phalanx of Wang Lu Yun had already dispersed again, and instead of maintaining the same tight formation as before, it had raised its speed again.

And on the ground they swept over, there were corpses left behind, including cavalry, fallen horses, and more than a dozen war horses that had lost their owners stopped galloping and then wandered on the battlefield.

Looking at the cavalry of the Chinese Army who did not stop for even a second behind him, a staff member beside Li Hongzhang looked horrified: "How is it possible, how can the Wang garrison not even stop it for a moment!" ”

Not to mention for a moment, in fact, although the cavalry of the two sides engaged in a short battle just now, in fact, the cavalry of the Chinese army did not stop for even a second from beginning to end, but only adjusted the formation during the run, and then a dense charge completely crushed these half-hung horse guards without leaving any residue.

These people panicked, and even Li Hongzhang, who had always had a calm face, frowned slightly!

On horseback, he turned his head to look at the pursuers behind him, and saw that the pursuers had already caught up from behind in two ways, and it was obvious that the quality of the horses of these cavalry was better than the horses ridden by their officers and staff.

This is also a common practice, the domestic cavalry and officers of the new army are all on horseback, but under the influence of Yu Shengjun, often the best war horses are used as cavalry horses, and the remaining horses will be the turn of officers or artillery units, so the officers are often not as good as the cavalry horses.

Of course, the mounts of high-ranking generals are no longer on the list, and the mounts of high-ranking generals such as Shi Qingxuan and Shen Chiyun are either Arabian horses or British thoroughbreds.

Li Hongzhang's mount is also a good horse, an Arabian horse from the northwest region, but his good horse does not mean that other people around him also have good horses, most of them ride Mongolian horses.

Moreover, most of these people's riding skills cannot be compared with professional cavalry, and Wang Luyun has already let the cavalry outflank them, so it is very difficult for them to escape.

No, it didn't take a few minutes for Li Hongzhang to hear a few screams from behind him, turned his head to look, and just saw several entourages wearing official robes falling from their horses, falling on the back of such a high-speed galloping horse, and if they were unlucky, they hung up directly, and if they were lucky, they had to be seriously injured, and the few entourages who fell off the horse were silent after they fell to the ground!

A cavalry sergeant of the Chinese army pursuing in the rear did not look at a fallen Qing soldier in front of him, and after controlling the horse and passing the man who had fallen off his horse, he first inserted the saber in his hand back into the scabbard hanging on the horse's back, and then drew out the cavalry pistol hanging on the horse's back.

I saw that he continued to lean forward slightly, relying on the support of his feet, leaving his hips off the horse's back, holding only the reins with his left hand, and holding the revolver in his right hand.

But he didn't hit, but don't worry, he quickly fired the second shot, and at the end of the third shot, the Qing soldier he was aiming at finally turned his body crooked, and he fell from his horse.

The sergeant didn't look at the fallen enemy, but shot at another enemy, but unfortunately the remaining three bullets still didn't hit, and he muttered, "This thing just doesn't work!" "It's just to quickly insert the pistol back into the pouch.

Then with a backhand, he pulled out the riding knife that still had a trace of blood, and then the war horse under the crotch did not gallop at the same smooth speed as before, but accelerated significantly, but the sergeant was not seen swaying back and forth in the bumps of the war horse, only to see him leaning out slightly, the riding knife in his hand pointed slightly forward, and the blade pointed at the enemy cavalry a few meters ahead.

And it didn't take long for the sergeant's cavalry to cut directly from the Qing army, the sergeant himself didn't use much strength to swing the cavalry knife, he just lightly took it, and then driven by the power of the war horse's movement, the cavalry knife was like cutting tofu, and the leader of the Qing army was directly cut down, and the blood spurting out of the carotid artery was more than a meter high!
