Chapter 41: Three Charges to the Enemy

The Taiping cavalry had already reacted, and some of the cavalry were led by the officers to counterattack, and some of the Taiping cavalry in the front and rear also ran over and tried to flank the attack.

In the face of this qiē, Wang Luyun didn't care about it, he only had the enemy army in front of him in his eyes!

Thirty meters, twenty meters!

Ten meters, at this time, Wang Luyun saw a cavalryman in front of him wearing armor who seemed to be the leader of the Taiping Army, and directly aimed the cavalry spear in his hand at him, and after an instant, the spear had already penetrated the body of the enemy knight, and at the same time, the spear was also broken instantly.

What, the spear actually broke?

Don't be surprised, it's not that the quality of the riding gun in Wang Luyun's hand is not up to par, but that it is a good thing that the riding gun is broken in time, because in this way it can effectively protect his own safety.

When the lancers charge, due to the huge impact force, the cavalry spear will encounter a great reaction force after stabbing out and hitting the enemy.

In this case, if the lance does not break itself in time, then it will hurt the knight himself, because the enemy cavalry you stab is hit, you will be hit by the reaction force.

If you use a spear with very strong hardness and toughness, this shot will be stabbed, of course, the enemy will be killed and injured, but the knight himself will also be abolished, if you are lucky, you will only lose your arm, and if you are unlucky, you may even be taken off your horse by the reaction force, and then trampled to death by the friendly horse.

In actual combat, there is only one requirement for a good riding spear, that is, it can break itself at the moment of stabbing the enemy, so as to protect your own knights, and this riding gun is a disposable weapon.

Throwing away the spear that had been broken, Wang Luyun directly pulled out the saber on the horse's back, he didn't slash forward too hard, he just aimed the tip of the knife at a certain unlucky egg, and then under the huge impact of the war horse, that saber could easily cut down any enemy.

Wang Luyun slashed the enemy with his saber, while still constantly urging the war horse under his crotch to keep running, he didn't need to, and couldn't stop to fight with the enemy, he had to crush this enemy army in the shortest possible time, and it didn't matter how many enemy cavalry he killed or wounded.

Looking at it from the perspective of Lin Zhe in the rear, it can be found that more than 50 cavalrymen of the pro-guard team formed a very close formation, and then directly rushed to the middle and rear positions of the loose Taiping cavalry column, and there were probably more than 100 Taiping cavalry in the front and back.

However, the immediate enemy of the pro-guards, that is, the Taiping cavalry that stood in the way of the pro-guards' charge, was even less, about fifty horsemen, and because the charging speed of the pro-guards was quite fast and a whole, although the Taiping cavalry who tried to flank the front and rear also followed, it was difficult to catch up and engage.

In this way, the personal guard led by Wang Luyun is a 'galloping cavalry wall' with a cavalry lance in the early stage, and then slashed with a saber, and more importantly, with the impact of horses, the forty-five Taiping cavalry who blocked the front rushed to the dead bones, and its momentum was so great that the Taiping cavalry on both sides took the initiative to retreat and avoid.

In this way, if you look down from the air, you will find that the cavalry column of about 200 meters in front and behind the Taiping Army has been broken through a huge gap of nearly 50 or 60 meters in the middle and rear position, and the cavalry unit of the Taiping Army has been divided into two parts.

The front part was still engaged in a melee with the soldiers of the baggage regiment, although the cavalry of the Taiping army had the advantage in the melee, but how to say it, since the cavalry of the Taiping army survived the shock and carried out the melee phase, then don't expect to be able to get out in a short time.

In exaggerated terms, even if three hundred pigs straighten their necks one by one and let you kill, you have to cut them for a long time, not to mention that although the soldiers of the baggage regiment are not as good as the regular infantry, they have undergone basic training, and the bayonets on the Minnie infantry guns in their hands are not in vain, and occasionally they can stab down a few cavalrymen of the Taiping army.

The defeat of the baggage regiment is defeated, but the cavalry of the Taiping army has to spend at least five or six minutes or even more than ten minutes to resolve the war, and it may seem that five or six minutes is already a short time, but for the rapidly changing battlefield, this time is enough to break out too many turning points.

Today's battle between Lin Zhe's Yuyao County Yongying and Lin Chengting's Taiping Army may change differently every minute, not to mention a minute, even thirty seconds, and twenty seconds may have unpredictable changes, and these changes can be large or small, and they may affect the overall battle situation at any time.

Dong Yanghong's cavalry bypassed the Second Infantry Regiment and instead attacked the artillery position of the Yongying Battalion in Yuyao County and the location of the Chinese Army.

Then the cavalry of the Taiping army broke into the array of the baggage regiment, and Wang Luyun began to launch a flank charge against the cavalry of the Taiping army, which may seem very long to describe in words, but the actual time is only a few minutes.

And these few minutes are enough to affect today's victory or defeat!

At this critical moment when every minute and every second can determine the outcome of the battle, the cavalry of the pro-guard team has rushed out of the cavalry column of the Taiping army, although many cavalry were killed and wounded in the process of charging into battle, but the cavalry of the pro-guard team still maintained a close whole.

I saw that after they rushed through the enemy army without stopping, their speed began to slow down and then turned, only to see them draw a perfect semicircle on the battlefield, and then re-accelerated towards the rear of the Taiping cavalry troops!

Wang Luyun held his saber high and shouted: "Brothers, kill!" ”

"Kill!" After the first round of charge, the cavalry of the personal guards turned around under the leadership of Wang Luyun and once again rushed into the cavalry array of the Taiping army with a shout.

The galloping cavalry array at high speed swept away any scattered Taiping cavalry that stood in front like a meteor!

At this time, the pro-guard and the cavalry of the Taiping army fought, presenting a very strange situation in the eyes of outsiders!

The pro-guard corps, which was only fifty horsemen, actually charged the Taiping army of eight hundred repeatedly!

What is even more surprising is that the Taiping cavalry, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, has no resistance, and when the guards charge for the first time, the Taiping cavalry failed to block it, but when the guards charged for the second time, they still failed to block it.

In fact, they can't be blamed for this, because the cavalry of the Taiping Army is a typical formation of the Eastern cavalry, even if it is a line charge, it is a loose formation, even if the total strength is far beyond the personal guards, but in the unit time, the troops engaged in direct combat with the personal guards are actually dozens of people, and these dozens of people are often scattered.

If it is said that in the battle between the pro-guard and the cavalry of the Taiping army, the Taiping army occupies an absolute strategic advantage, then the pro-guard army occupies a tactical advantage.

Wang Luyun gasped, slashed the saber in his hand over the body of a Taiping soldier, and didn't look at the crumbling Taiping cavalry who was about to fall off the horse, Wang Luyun pointed the saber that was still dripping blood again, pointing at the next Taiping cavalry.

Seeing the Qing Demon's cavalry rampaging in his cavalry ranks, Dong Yang was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Stop them for Lao Tzu!" ”

In fact, without Dong Yanghong's order, the officers of the Taiping Army, who had already rushed through twice, had already reflected it, shouting loudly one by one, trying to entangle the troops under their command and then surround the Qing Demon Cavalry.

Although this Qing Demon cavalry was brave, after two repeated charges, both manpower and horsepower were greatly reduced, and at the same time, the casualties were not small, so they didn't believe it, and their 800 cavalry could not defeat the enemy's 50 cavalry.

After two rounds of charging, Wang Lu Yun, whose body had been greatly consumed, felt that the saber in his hand seemed to be much heavier than before, and the war horse under his crotch was also panting, sweat had already wet his mane, and then looked at the team behind him, there were only more than 30 people left of the more than 50 brothers who lived and died together in the past!

And the Taiping cavalry queue in front of them after their two impacts is already in a big formation, and several enemy cavalry fell on the ground, just two impacts, they killed and injured at least fifty or sixty enemy cavalry, of course, direct killing is not actually a result, the biggest result is actually that they have completely dispersed the cavalry formation of the Taiping Army!

As long as Wang Luyun has more troops under his command, if their horsepower is more sufficient, Wang Luyun believes that it will not be a big problem for him to completely disrupt this Taiping cavalry by charging the battle several times.

And after the formation of a cavalry unit on the battlefield was completely disrupted, it was not much different from being defeated.

It's a pity that there are not many brothers under his hands, and the body is not enough!

But isn't that a rush?

Wang Luyun saw the infantry of the Second Infantry Regiment running hundreds of meters away at this moment, he knew that he still needed to continue to rush down, he knew very well that his personal guards were the same as the baggage regiment, and now there was only one tactical goal, that is, to delay the time of the Taiping cavalry, in order to wait for the Second Infantry Regiment to come back!

So he took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the cavalry behind him: "Brothers, on weekdays, everyone eats and drinks the handsome, and also uses the marshal's salary to support the family. ”

"See, the brothers of the second regiment are almost here, we just need to rush it again, and the next victory will be ours!" Wang Luyun is a person who has never read any books, he doesn't know what to say to encourage morale, he just said these two sentences briefly.

He waved the saber in his hand again, rushed out first, and shouted at the same time: "Kill! ”

The remaining thirty or so of the guards behind them rushed out again and began their third charge!

Seeing the cavalry of the pro-guard team rushing over again, many Taiping cavalry were stunned, they were afraid, and even more puzzled, they only had more than 30 people left, how could they dare to continue to charge them!

And the officers of the Taiping Army were also shouting, trying to gather more cavalry and intercept the charge of the pro-guards!

The sound of horses' hooves echoed on the battlefield, and the momentum seemed to drown out the rumbling cannons, and Lin Zhe, who was standing on the hillside behind, watched the personal guards rush towards the enemy cavalry again, and an indescribable feeling was born in his heart!

More than 30 cavalrymen of the Guards, who had already exhausted the Yan zhòng, once again rushed into the Taiping cavalry array, this time the Taiping army did not carry out a counter-charge, but surrounded them in all directions, and they wanted to trap alive the cavalry that had brought them a large number of casualties and brought them humiliation.

The charge of the guards was met with desperate resistance from the Taiping army, and although they continued to advance, their speed inevitably slowed down, and behind them were hundreds of Taiping cavalry!

After Wang Luyun once again cut down a Taiping cavalryman, his arm was already sore, and he looked at the enemy cavalry in front of him as if it was endless, and he finally felt hopeless in his heart!

Perhaps, I'm going to die here today.
