Chapter 878: The Fall of the Heavy Cavalry (3)

The black-pressed heavy cavalry was dispatched, and Wu Sangui, who looked tired, was instantly stunned.

To say that Wu Sangui has also experienced too many battles, what a big formation the battle of Songshan should be, but seeing the black heavy cavalry, Wu Sangui still gasped, and his body trembled slightly.

The hoplites burst out not only with murderous aura, but with an aura of oppression that was thicker than murderous, a feeling that made the opponent breathless.

It's the third day of fighting, and when the two sides fought on the first day, they were more cautious, the soldiers under Wu Sangui mainly used bows and crossbows, and it was not only the soldiers under Wu Sangui who participated in the fight, Wang Xiaoer also led two thousand cavalry to join the battle group, and the two sides did not distinguish the winner or loser, and the casualties were not very large.

The battle on the second day was much more tragic, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army also used Mauser guns, which were more lethal to the Eight Banners Army, and for a time the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army took the initiative to retreat, and it was obviously impossible to resist.

Zheng Jinhong originally thought that on the second day of the battle, the Eight Banners Army would dispatch heavy cavalry, but until dark, there was no shadow of heavy cavalry.

On the third day, it was still Wu Sangui who played.

What Wu Sangui didn't expect was that the heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners Army was dispatched and took the lead.

There were no drums, no shouts, and the hoplites began to charge forward, and they were in a group of fifty, with their spears in their right hands and shields in their left, and they rushed towards them.

When the sergeant next to him shouted to the general, Wu Sangui came to his senses.

The position of the artillery battalion was ten miles away from here, and he had to lead his soldiers to fight and resist, and then retreat about five miles in the process of fighting, and he had to lure the heavy cavalry of the Eighth Banner Army to follow up and kill.

Five miles of land was nothing for the hoplites, and luring them into an ambush circle of artillery was no problem. The terrible thing is the cavalry that follows behind the heavy cavalry, once Wu Sangui leads the soldiers under his command to evacuate, then the cavalry behind the heavy cavalry will definitely be dispatched on a large scale, and at that time, there are a few people under his command who can survive. That's hard to say.

Desperately spitting out a mouthful of spit, Wu Sangui shouted loudly and shot.

Countless crossbows flew towards the hoplites of the Eight Banners Army, and a clanging sound appeared, and these crossbows did hit the opponent, but unfortunately did not cause any damage. The hoplites only showed the legs of the horses, and it was unrealistic and impossible to ask many soldiers to shoot the legs of the horses.

Mauser guns also began to shoot, and they were no less effective. There were pitifully few hoplites who fell.

Seeing that the hoplites were slowly approaching, Wu Sangui turned his horse's head and ordered the army to retreat.

The roaring rain of arrows caught the retreating soldiers off guard, and more than a dozen soldiers fell off their horses screaming.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners Army did not move, and it was still the heavy cavalry that pressed over, but their speed increased, and the war horses began to trot. The momentum of the charge is even greater.

Wu Sangui was unwilling, in fact, he wanted to fight with the heavy cavalry. But reason told him that he could not do this, and that people were protected from beginning to end, and how the soldiers would attack.

Zheng Jinhong's heart was raised, and he sensed Wu Sangui's hesitation, such hesitation was fatal, and it was very likely to cause heavy losses. The heavy cavalry of the Eighth Banner Army suddenly dispatched, and it was the first to dispatch, which Zheng Jinhong did not expect, and the artillery battalion was ready and entered a state of combat readiness. The cavalry battalion and the Shenji battalion are also ready, and everything depends on Wu Sangui who is fighting on the battlefield.

Zheng Jinhong clenched the telescope with both hands, apparently trying to smash the telescope.

Hong Xintao on the side was also nervous, but neither of them spoke.

Finally, Zheng Jinhong put down the binoculars and spoke to Hong Xintao beside him.

"Wu Sangui's battle performance yesterday and the day before yesterday was very good, how could he be unwilling at the critical moment, you must know that the hesitation at this time will pay a huge price."

"Dashuai, don't think about it too much, it's normal for Wu Sangui to hold his breath, the battles yesterday and the day before yesterday, it was obvious that he could get more results, and he was evacuated alive, and no one felt comfortable."

Zheng Jinhong sighed.

"I know, but at the critical moment, you shouldn't hesitate."

The shouts of killing on the battlefield suddenly sounded, Zheng Jinhong's body trembled, and the situation he was worried about instantly appeared.

Wu Sangui, who was retreating towards the rear, was not firm, and at this time, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army dispatched and began to pursue.

The situation that Zheng Jinhong did not expect appeared again, and Wu Sangui suddenly issued an order that the whole army was not allowed to evacuate and fought with the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army.

The bows and crossbows whined, the arrows rained all over the sky, and with the sound of Mauser guns, the attacking cavalry of the Eight Banners Army was instantly blocked, and the two sides fought together.

The attack of the hoplites, although not stopped, was noticeably much slower.

Zheng Jinhong's eyes erupted with fire.

"Damn, Lao Tzu expected, it must be Huang Taiji commanding the battle, the heavy cavalry deterring, the cavalry attacking, staggered, once the cavalry is blocked, the heavy cavalry will follow, Wu Sangui's decision is correct, if the evacuation is too fast, the heavy cavalry will not be fooled......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Jinhong's face showed a painful look.

Such a fight means one thing, and the team of the Zheng family's feint will suffer heavy losses.

Sure enough, all the Eight Banners quickly withdrew towards the two flanks, and the hoplites accelerated and rushed over.

A few sergeants who did not have time to evacuate were bumped into by the hoplites, and several of them were stabbed through the heart by spears.

Wu Sangui turned his horse's head and shouted to retreat......

It was very close to the ambush circle of the artillery, but Wu Sangui's body also had blood, his left arm was shot by a bow and arrow, this is nothing, the key is that the sergeant suffered heavy losses, such an offensive method made Wu Sangui painful and crazy, heavy cavalry and cavalry attacked alternately, Wu Sangui commanded the soldiers to fight and retreat, whether it was fighting or retreating, it was impossible to grasp it so accurately, and the casualties gradually increased.

Wu Sangui has no bottom in his heart, whether he can lure the heavy cavalry into the ambush circle of the artillery, less than five miles away, he has been fighting for nearly half an hour, in fact, the heavy cavalry has not moved much at all, and sometimes he will retreat a few steps back, so that the cavalry can come forward to fight, do they know that there is an ambush ahead.

Wu Sangui, who was red-eyed, decided to fight.

He raised the spear in his hand and rushed towards the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army who were fighting.

This time, no matter how many losses the sergeant had, the hoplites were to be lured into the ambush circle.

The tragic battle began, the soldiers of the Zheng family army suddenly burst out of their fighting spirit, the attacking cavalry of the Eight Banners Army couldn't help but retreat, the two sides fought together, and the battlefield became tragic and bloody again.

The hoplites began to attack again, but this time their attack was different, the speed was much faster, and during their attack, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army did not withdraw immediately.

Wu Sangui's face had no expression, and he knew that it was the most critical moment.

A dull crashing sound appeared, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army and the heavy cavalry cooperated tacitly, and at the moment when they were about to collide, they flashed away in an instant, and the officers and soldiers of the Zheng family army who had not had time to evacuate were hit by the heavy cavalry, and countless screams appeared, and many soldiers fell unwillingly, and they even maintained an offensive posture.

The Zheng family's offensive formation was squeezed in an instant, and the soldiers fighting in front of them were obviously difficult to turn their horses around and evacuate.

The smell of blood began to spread through the air.

Wu Sangui tried his best to order the army to evacuate, if the heavy cavalry still did not pursue this time, then he had no choice, seeing that more than half of the soldiers under his command had lost.

Finally, this time, the hoplites did not stop and followed the charge.

Zheng Jinhong dropped the telescope in his hand and spoke coldly to the herald beside him.

"Order the artillery, bomb hard, bomb at the target, Lao Tzu wants the heavy cavalry to disappear completely......"

The red flag appeared in front of him, and Wu Sangui's tears flowed out instantly.

Seeing the red flag, the officers and soldiers of the Zheng family army accelerated their evacuation, close to an hour of fighting, they did not dare to speed up the evacuation, and waited for the attack of the heavy cavalry, that is, in this absolutely inferior fight, countless soldiers fell.

Now, their mission is complete and they can quickly evacuate.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners Army has quickly followed, this time, the soldiers of the Zheng family army will not fight, they quickly withdrew towards the two wings, they know that the end of the heavy cavalry is coming.

The rumbling cannon finally rang out.

The hoplites were instantly surrounded by shells.

The whistling shells landed exactly around the hoplites, and this time, their armor had no effect, and their bulky bodies made it impossible for them to evacuate quickly.

The shells in depth covered them in front and back, left and right, and with each round of firing, one hundred and fifty shells exploded, and there was no place to hide around the position.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners was also bombarded by artillery shells, and some of the cavalry quickly retreated to the rear, trying to get out of the range covered by the artillery fire, but in front of them were heavily armored cavalry, and their bulky bodies blocked the retreat route.

More cavalry chose to withdraw from both flanks, trying to rush out in the face of artillery fire, but unfortunately they were awaited by merciless Mauser bullets.

The crisp crash of the armor was drowned out by the roar of shells.

The bombed hoplites became caged birds, and there was no chance to escape......

Zheng Jinhong breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face improved slightly.

The soldiers around him were holding the telescope that was broken by Zheng Jinhong, with a painful expression on their faces, you must know that the telescope equipped by Zheng Jinhong was specially developed by the Huai'an Firearms Bureau, and the cost was expensive.

Zheng Jinhong didn't feel anything, he knew that his deployment was successful, although the price paid for success was expensive, but as long as it succeeded, everything was worth it. (To be continued.) )
