Chapter 677: Roshan and Sea of Blood

Facing the approach of the Qing cavalry, the remaining soldiers of the two phalanxes in front were already at a loss, and several soldiers even turned around and fled, and were immediately cut down to the ground by the remaining officers.

The officers shouted, "Array! Block the Tartars! ”

"The brothers fight! People can't outrun horses! ”

"Who escapes! Chop! The family is a slave forever! Fight! ”

"Your Excellency is behind us!"

……

Under the strong restraint of the officers, these remaining soldiers finally lined up roughly, and the remaining musketeers also lined up in front of the formation, nervously waiting for the Qing army to charge.

in the cavalry and chariot on the left flank of the Runing Army.

"Captain Wang! You take your cavalry regiment to support the middle lane immediately, and you must block the Tartar cavalry for some more time, and you must not let the Tartars break through the middle lane! Zug ordered.

"No!"

Seeing that the cavalry regiment had gathered more than 1,000 of its own cavalry and began to form a team, the commander of the cavalry battalion who remained asked Zug: "My lord! Why don't we go out with all our troops? ”

"It's not time yet!" Zug said, staring nervously at the battlefield, "It's not time yet, you have to believe in the brothers of Commander He and the infantry, they can still hold on." We're always ready to give the Tartars a blow when it matters. How? Do you think that our Runing army will be defeated? Our Runing Army is attacking! It's victory! ”

In today's battle, Zug had been restraining the 1,500 cavalry and chariot convoys of the Runing Army on the left flank to prepare, like a poisonous snake, circling and preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Qing army.

Especially the chariot convoy, in addition to bringing out the 20 antique Warring States chariots this time, the Runing Army also concentrated the 40 fully enclosed and swarming chariots of artillery to help protect the artillery, and thought of using these novel chariots to inflict a lot of casualties on the Qing army. But now He Fei felt that the time had not come. So he hid his chariot in the cavalry battalion he had left behind, waiting for the time to come.

The right flank of the Runing Army.

"The whole army went west, and two infantry regiments were inserted in front of the center and left flank to block the Tartar charge. The cavalry, in battalions, guarded the advance of the infantry regiment. After the infantry regiment was in place, all the cavalry followed my Lao Li to meet the Tartar artillery. Ladies and gentlemen! My Runing army will win! To save the whole army! Let's get ready to see you at the Martyrs' Shrine! Li Sanhe ordered with a smile.

Since the two infantry regiments and two thousand cavalry on the right flank were too far ahead, they could only be spectators in the fierce battle just now. However, seeing that the formation was in danger, Li Sanhe, who commanded the right flank, ordered the troops on the right flank to be inserted in front of the phalanx on the middle and left flanks.

However, in such a movement, this army will be attacked by the Qing army in two directions, north and west. It was also a dangerous thing to fight against the cavalry of the Qing army in the movement, and it was difficult for the infantry to form a gun forest.

In addition, in order to completely eliminate the threat of the Qing army's general artillery, Li Sanhe was also preparing to attack the Qing army's artillery array after the right wing troops were in place. It's a life-or-death adventure. But at this time, Li Sanhe had no other choice.

And the right flank Runing Army of 4,000 people. also did not hesitate to be under the command of Li Sanhe. The westward movement began.

He Fei watched the Qing cavalry line up in an array and had already begun to walk briskly, knowing that they were about to start charging. So he ordered in a loud voice: "Tell your lordship: the command is handed over to your lordship." All the people here are gathered and lined up! Get ready to fight with my boss! ”

He Fei observed the Qing army's jiashi and understood that they must be charging against the middle of the Runing army, which suffered the heaviest losses, and the two regiments in front of the Runing army were basically crippled, and they couldn't stop the Qing army's charge at all. And this regiment in the middle of the back. He had already suffered heavy losses when Mazari was charging into battle just now.

In order to be safe, He Fei gathered his own soldiers, officers, and a cavalry company to protect him, a total of more than 300 horsemen. Prepare to support the gap of the Runing Army at any time. He Fei would not let the Qing army rush to the front of Wu Shigong's main formation.

Although the commanders of the Runing Army reacted quickly, it would take some time to mobilize the troops. At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army had already begun to sprint. The two remnants of the Runing Army in front of them immediately placed their guns, and the few remaining musketeers immediately began to fire a salvo.

But the fallen Qing soldiers and horses, as if like a few small splashes in the waves of the sea, were immediately drowned by the torrent of Qing army's iron horses. The Runing army used spears as a rejection horse, shouting loudly and waiting for the impact of the Qing cavalry.

But the Qing army charged fifty paces, and they did the same move again, they grabbed the reins again, took off their riding bows, and began to throw at the phalanx of the Runing army.

This time the Qing army threw quite a lot of cavalry, it was really a rain of arrows, and the soldiers of Runing, who had just been frightened by the shelling, suffered a heavy blow again, even those who were not injured in the rain of arrows, their hearts were shaken.

And this time the Qing army did not dismount and shoot on foot, and even the throwing only carried out one or two rounds, and then they raised the speed of their horses and charged towards the two phalanxes of the Runing army.

The phalanx in the middle was rushed down, and the phalanx on the left flank collapsed at once after holding out for a while. The soldiers who were trampled to death and knocked into the air also died, and the soldiers of Runing who were knocked away ran desperately to the back.

With a "boom", a desperate regimental artillery gunner ignited the powder keg, which immediately caused an explosion, but the flat land that was blown up was quickly filled by the Qing cavalry. Several gunners tried to light the powder kegs, but they were immediately overwhelmed by the Qing cavalry.

The cavalry of the Qing army did not pursue the Runing soldiers who had escaped, and they began to divide into small teams, rushing into the remaining small gathered forces one by one, to completely disperse the Runing army here. Of course, they also killed all the Runing soldiers who passed by.

But at this time, many of the Runing soldiers did not drop the weapons in their hands, they were more still holding spears, axes and guns, even if they were knocked down by the Qing cavalry behind them because of this weapon, they refused to put it down.

The whole scene was too chaotic, some soldiers were squeezed together, in front of and behind them were their comrades, and the spear more than ten feet long could not even be stretched out horizontally in this crowded space, but had to be erected, and they had to stumble towards the back, so there was no way to assassinate or slash at all.

Seeing that the overall situation here had been decided, the more than 500 cavalry of the rear team of the Qing army ignored this battlefield, and they swooped towards the rear phalanx of the Runing army in the middle road.

"Fire!" The cavalry led by Guan Xin hurriedly deployed more than a dozen artillery pieces in front of the rear phalanx, and then he immediately gave the order to open fire.

As soon as the dozen or so shells flew out, Guan Xin didn't care about observing the effect of the shelling, and then ordered loudly: "Load the shotguns!" ”

Because most of the musketeers were transferred to the front, there were very few musketeers in the rear phalanx, and the dozen or so guns were used for increased muskets. But at this time, the solid shell can't exert its power at all, so Guan Xin can't care about the accidental injury, first fire the solid shell in the barrel, and then hurry up and load the shotgun as fast as possible.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was getting closer and closer, the soldiers of the Runing army in the phalanx behind were sweating for the artillery. It is really a test of the training results and psychological quality of the artillerymen, those artillerymen of the Runing Army, they don't need to look at the approaching Qing cavalry at all, they are just busy loading ammunition, for fear of being distracted.

The Qing cavalry closest to the artillery was already about to rush to the muzzle, and they had already raised their knives viciously, but at this time, the artillery was finally loaded, and the gunners had already pinched the fire rope to the shortest, so the torch was a little bit of a fire door, and the artillery exploded immediately.

"Boom, boom!" The artillery made a muffled sound, and the loaded iron sand formed a fan-shaped death zone at the muzzle of the gun, which immediately tore the men and horses within twenty paces into pieces, and even the horses of the Qing cavalry a little farther away were beaten by the iron sand in unbearable pain, and they jumped out of control. The whole battlefield was silent, and an open space about twenty or thirty paces wide was cleared in front of the artillery array. The Qing army's troops were immediately crippled, and with the salvo of the remaining musketeers of the Runing army, the Qing army was no longer able to charge towards this phalanx.

But this was only the troops of Mazari and Quangui, and the more than 4,000 cavalry troops led by Tan Tu and Jilang A had also entered the battlefield, and they then rolled towards the phalanx in the middle, but they first encountered the cavalry regiment that Zug had sent to block them.

With a long whistle, the cavalry regiment of the Runing Army sprinted, they lined up in ten rows in front and back, each row of 100 horses, horses and horses were close together, all the cavalry were holding spears, charging towards this Qing army.

The Qing army also did not show weakness, they also raised their horses to the highest speed, and they also lined up in a tight formation of hundreds of horses, facing the Runing army is a hedge.

The horses could not turn at all, and as if two dragons were colliding, the cavalry of the first row on both sides slammed into each other. The two rows of cavalry were almost completely annihilated, but both sides did not hesitate, followed by the second and third rows ......, until the fourth row of cavalry collided, and the collision between the two sides had become a sea of flesh and blood, and both sides were gritting their teeth to see who could not bear such casualties in the first place.

This is the red-eyed tactic of the Runing Army, but at this time, the cavalry regiment of the Runing Army was indeed red-eyed, and they continued to charge towards the Qing army.

But the cavalry of the Qing army could no longer endure such a death collision, even Tan Tu and Ji Lang A were shouting loudly, and they couldn't restrain their troops, and with a "hulala", the entire army of the Qing army dispersed at once. (To be continued......)
