Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Qing captives were not those Mongols who lacked clothing and armor, and the cavalry was almost the same number of miles away from each other.
Duoduo is not in a hurry, the foot of the capital of the Ming Dynasty is now the pasture of the Qing Dynasty's soldiers and horses. After Emperor Taiji invaded the Ming Dynasty through the Daoduoyan Grassland, this huge empire was weakened like an open-minded woman exposed to the Jurchen savages. But it is easy to attack the city, but it is difficult to attack the heart, as long as the city of Beijing cannot be captured, the Han people will never prostrate at the feet of the Jurchens.
"This is the humiliation of the Han people!" The dark waist knife in Zhai Zhe's hand was dim, and the city of Beijing in the distance was so majestic and strange in his eyes. For the first time, he felt that only he could save this **** era.
"Two-wing assault!"
Xiao Zhiyan and the light horses of the chariot style interspersed the sides of the Jurchen cavalry, and the Mongols and Han people made all kinds of strange sounds, and ran to the side and rear of the Jurchens with bows and arrows. The two white flags are the elite of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhai Zhe knows very well that if he has the idea of being opportunistic, let alone breaking through, it is unknown if he is defeated in front of the soldiers and horses in front of him.
"Order Meng Kang's cavalry to assault! Attack from the right side. ”
"Yes!" Battle flags waved.
The light cavalry harassed like a fly that could not be driven away, so that Duoduo was not very annoyed, and the cavalry in the army was mobilized to chase after him. Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng avoided the real attack, and actually tried to go around to the back of the Jurchen cavalry queue to converge. The light cavalry ran out of a bow-shaped trajectory in the snowfield, and the cavalry suddenly turned and approached as they fled, and their long arrows were fired at the pursuing horses. When it comes to horse shooting, the Jurchens really can't even touch the ass of the Mongols.
"Sons, it's up to us!" Meng Kang looked at the command flag in the army and kicked his horse forward. The soldier handed over a huge iron shield, and he drew the great axe from the saddle.
"Attack!" Meng Kang shouted, and the 1,200 war horses moved their front hooves almost simultaneously, reaching the extreme in just four or five hundred steps. The ranks became looser and looser, and the soldiers raised their weapons, and the angry curses in their mouths almost covered the iron hooves.
"Flip the pigtails!" Meng Kang took the lead in scolding, as if roaring could increase strength, and the cavalry rushed more than Zuo Ruo. This is Meng Kang's soldiers and horses, like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, sharp and compelling. If he blocks his attack, he will slowly show his lack of stamina in the stalemate, but there are not many soldiers and horses who can block his three-plate axe.
In the distance, the light cavalry of the chariot wind moved to the right flank, taking away the chasing cavalry. The cavalry of Xiao Zhiyan on the right flank actually went around a semicircle to the rear of the Qing Dynasty and pinned down a cavalry of seven or eight hundred people.
"Ling Zuoruo interspersed with the right side of the Qing captives, join forces with Meng Kang, and be sure to defeat the flank soldiers and horses of the Qing captives."
"After my soldiers and horses move, Ling Fengqin will intersperse with the middle lane to stabilize his position."
Under the word "Ming", Zhai Zhe gave orders in an orderly manner, and he had been fighting with the Qing captives on the frontal battlefield for a long time, not because of fear, but because he had not waited for the right time. Cavalrymen with banners in their hands weave through the ranks of cavalry.
Directly ahead, Meng Kang approached Duoduo's banner, and when he was more than a mile or so away from the opponent, the cavalry suddenly deflected and killed the left flank of the Qing prisoners on the opposite side. Meng Kang's forward regiment was all heavily armoured, and this was the only cavalry in Zhai Zhe's army that was equipped with heavy armor except for Lei Yanqian's troops. After Lei Yanqian expressed his dissent, Zhai Zhe has not expanded the number of heavy riders under his command, which is also an important reason why the relationship between the two is irreparable in the end.
The cavalry stream crashed into the cavalry wall, Meng Kang withstood the iron shield, and the giant axe slashed the flesh and blood. The soldiers and horses under his command did not have so many chattering tactics, only a breath of energy, an unstoppable sharpness. The iron armor touched the iron armor, the battle axe blocked the thick knife, and the two columns of cavalry collided like a heavy hammer, and sparks shot in all directions.
"Release, release!" Meng Kang swung his axe and ordered incoherently. Although he seemed to be reckless, he had actually been feeling the situation on the battlefield, rushing to the front line and being the first to feel the subtle changes in the battle situation.
"Here we go!" Zhai Zhe urged the jujube red horse to take half a step forward and roared: "Zuo Ruo attack!" ”
The command flag waved, and the cavalry of the left Ruobu on the right flank moved, turned an arc to bypass the cavalry of the Mengkang army, and interspersed with the rear of the left flank of the Qing Dynasty. Bao Guang urged the soldiers and horses to move behind Zhai Zhe, and when they arrived at the place where Zuo Ruobu's cavalry had just been stationed, he filled the vacancy, and slowly moved forward just behind Meng Kang.
"Lancers turn right and follow!" Feng Qin's orders were orderly. He has the most soldiers and horses under his command, and the most complex troops, except for him, there is really no second person who can coordinate such a class.
In just a quarter of an hour or so, the shape of the battlefield changed greatly, and the two teams of cavalry that were originally facing each other deflected and turned into the left flank of Zhai Zhe's cavalry facing Duoduo. Such is the advantage of the steppe cavalry! The cavalry's horsemanship is one step faster when changing formations.
Duoduo watched the transformation of the cavalry queue on the opposite side, and felt extremely embarrassed, if he commanded the soldiers and horses to change direction accordingly, the back of the cavalry would be completely exposed in front of Xiao Zhiyan and the light cavalry of the chariot style. The lack of light cavalry to rival the Mongols put him at a disadvantage from the start, and he should not have split his forces to chase the light cavalry. The shape of the battlefield could not be thought about too much, and Zuo Ruo's cavalry crossed Meng Kang and was marching towards the flank and rear. Once he is allowed to complete the outflanking, it becomes a flanking right-wing trend.
"Kill!" Duoduo made a decision in an instant, since the Han people were attacking his left flank, he would attack the left flank of the Han cavalry.
On the frozen ground where the cavalry was running, the Qing captured Chinese army pressed towards the cavalry of the Fengqin Division, which was still adjusting its formation, and the cavalry on the right flank outflanked the rear of the Fengqin Division. The two sides looked like boxers in a fight, Zhai Zhe hit his opponent with a straight right punch to the left side of his face, and Duoduo also wanted to return a heavy punch.
"Duoduo has been fooled!" Zhai Zhe watched the banner of the Qing cavalry on the opposite side move, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The white-flaged cavalry was the elite of the Qing captives, full of tenacity, and heavily armoured, if it was a head-to-head duel, he felt that he still had a only forty percent chance of winning. If Duoduo had held the Chinese army still at this moment and mobilized the cavalry on the right flank to relieve the left flank, the battle would not last for several hours without distinguishing the winner or loser, and the pursuers behind him were hurrying closer.
The Chinese soldiers and horses, which had the largest number of captives, rushed straight to Fengqin. "Reject the pistol!" Feng Qin didn't panic at all because of the warhorses whistling from the opposite side.
Fifty or sixty men rushed out of the cavalry ranks, and each of them carried the repulsion rifles that had just been assembled. On this long run, he did not bring much equipment, but Feng Qin always turned decay into magic, and he collected the spears of the lancers and inserted them into the rough drilled wooden strips that he had prepared earlier. Two rows of spears stand on the ground, just in time to form the simplest repellent rifles.
"Lined up with birds!" After rejecting the horse gun, the 500 cavalry dismounted and took off the bird gun behind their backs, let the war horse block it sideways, and the gun was facing the sky, rubbing the flint and igniting the fire rope around the body. In order to allow the bird gun to block the impact of the Qing cavalry, Feng Qin racked his brains and finally came up with this method.
There were not many horse guns, and they were scattered in front of the cavalry queue in layers, and when they saw that the Qing cavalry was approaching, the soldiers who came out of the battle flew back. The cavalry had to slow down forty or fifty paces away from the rejection of the horse, trying to provoke the rejection and then charge.
Feng Qin's gaze was locked on the fierce Jurchen knight opposite, "Let go!" He waved his right hand down.
"Bang!" A neat row of gunshots rang out, the smoke filled the air, and the horses in the queue uneasily moved their front hooves, they were used to the environment, but they still didn't like the smell of smoke.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The sound of the gun can't be stopped. The lead statue was woven into a large net, and the Qing cavalry on the opposite side turned over on their backs.
"Rush over!" Dodor's eyes were about to pop out, he knew the damage of the Bird Gun to the armor, but as long as the White Flag Warrior could rush into the opposite line, it would be a slaughter for the cavalry who took the gun. He had only seen the Ming army's infantry with bird guns, and he had never seen a cavalry bird hand. Knowing this, he should have used the foot archers to kill the opponent's sharp qi first, and the bird's gun shooting was not as accurate as the Jurchen archers.
This is exactly the reform that Zhai Zhe and Feng Qin implemented in the army. Zhai Zhe wanted to promote firearms in the army, and the Fengqin Department accepted it the fastest, because the firearms battalion was brought out by him. When Meng Kang rejected and Zuo Ruo was still hesitating, Feng Qin resolutely replaced the bows and arrows prepared by one-third of the cavalry with bird guns. Meng Kang once ridiculed: "Equipped with bird guns, is the cavalry that can't charge still a cavalry?" But Zhai Zhe supported Fengqin's reforms, and there was no shortage of cavalry under his command who could charge.
The lead burst out, and soon before the rejection of the horses, there were piles of corpses, including horses and armor. Impatience, regret, and anger permeated the mind of Dord, who was watching the battle from a distance, and he never expected that the foolproof situation would turn into the current situation.
"Throw a cigarette ball!" Feng Qin could not take care of Duoduo's feelings, and then ordered. The training time of this bird soldier was not long, and it was purely a training for those Han slaves who remained in Fort Victory, and Feng Qin was worried that once the Qing captives risked their lives and broke through the horse rejection formation, these people would be powerless to resist.
The grenadiers of the firearms battalion marched forward and threw out balls of smoke mixed with tung oil, gunpowder and cow dung. The front of the repulsion was soon covered in smoke, and the two groups of cavalry could not see each other from each other, only the sound of guns was still roaring as always. Zhai Zhebu fled from the northwest, and the Qing cavalry was in the southeast, and the smoke was blown right to the opposite side.
Zhai Zhe led the elite of the 1,000 Chinese army and did not move, it was precisely for Feng Qin to plunder the formation, the defects of the melee combat of the bird soldiers were too great, and he was not at ease.
In this way, the cavalry on the right flank of the Qing Qing has been outflanked to the rear of Feng Qin's flank and rushed straight over. The cavalry on the flanks of the Fengqin Department changed direction, the men and horses were crowded, and the cavalry was less than half a step apart, lined up in a line of flesh walls, and blocked the opponent solidly, and the short soldiers were close to each other.
Zhai Zhe had been waiting, and after the cavalry on the right flank of the Qing Dynasty completely collided with the cavalry of Fengqin, he suddenly kicked the jujube red horse. The most elite soldiers of the Chinese army moved, Bao Guang raised his spear and greeted him, and the skilled cavalry covered the flank of the cavalry on the right flank.
"Blow the trumpet!" A strange rhythm of bullhorns sounded, and in the distance, Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng broke away from the pursuing cavalry, slaughtered on the left flank of Qing Yu, and joined the siege of Meng Kang and Zuo Ruo. Zhai Zhe's strategy was to use his Chinese army banner and Feng Qin's firearms to attract Duoduo's attention, block the opponent's attack, and concentrate the rest of his forces to besiege his left flank.
The snow field was filled with smoke, and Duoduo couldn't see the situation on the frontal battlefield clearly, but he knew that the cavalry on the right flank had already engaged Zhai Zhe's central army, and he was still blocked in front of him.
"Kill!" Duoduo wielded his sword. But Lead wouldn't give him the answer he wanted, and it turned out that the bird gun, who had been ridiculed by them, could wield such a great effect.
He made too many mistakes in this battle, and in the final analysis, it was because he despised the Ming officials and soldiers too much. After the defeat of the Western Expedition, the Qing captives had not lost in the frontal battlefield, and they attributed that battle to the Mongols, and never thought that the Ming Dynasty could have such a capable cavalry in addition to the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Before the chariot could reach the battlefield, the Qinglu's left flank cavalry began to rout, facing a flanking attack from nearly twice their size, especially the left cavalry from the rear, which pierced into the ranks like sharp knives, making them fearful.
"Assemble, assemble!" When Dordor ordered the trumpet to be blown, he had the feeling that he was about to be defeated on all fronts.
