Chapter 1441: The cavalry burst into defeat

"General, look, cavalry, there are a large number of cavalry behind us!"

As he was leading the Dutch army to retreat towards Chichicheng, a second lieutenant suddenly screamed.

Frightened, he looked behind him, and sure enough, in the distance, smoke and dust were everywhere, and from the left and right directions, two cavalry quickly rushed towards his army!

His face changed greatly, and he shouted sharply: "Quick, give the order, the infantry is immediately ready to fight, the artillery stops advancing and prepares for artillery bombardment!" ”

In such a situation, it is absolutely impossible to run again, once you run again, you are caught up by the cavalry of the Ming army, it is a rout, out of control, if you want to retreat, you must repel the cavalry in front of you!

The Dutch army is also a well-trained army, and when it encountered a cavalry assault, the Dutch army immediately took action, stopped advancing, and quickly opened a formation in front, ready to attack, as for the artillery of the Dutch army, then don't think about it, the artillery stopped advancing, removed the gun jacket, turned the gun head, and loaded the shells, it took time, and when the artillery entered the combat state, I was afraid that the daylily would be cold!

"General, no!"

Phillips on the side shouted: "Where will the artillery still have time to respond? Now it is only six or seven miles away from the Red Embedded City, and the order is for the artillery to retreat with all their strength, and the infantry is broken, and at the same time order the defenders of the Red Embedded City to go out of the city to respond, otherwise, our artillery will become the sword of the cavalry! ”

At this time, in the face of the cavalry raid, the artillery is useless, it only takes a moment's time, the Ming cavalry will rush to the front, even if the artillery wants to block, it is too late!

"Order, Tempus led the artillery to retreat with all his strength and retreat into the Red Embedded City! Quickly order someone to send a message to Chichicheng immediately asking for help! ”

The reaction of Kuichi and Phillips was not unpleasant, but the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army reacted faster than theirs!

Before the Dutch army's position was fully opened, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army had already rushed to within two hundred steps of the Dutch army.

Bang bang bang!

Almost at the same time, the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army and the Dutch infantry opened fire at the same time, and both sides used flintlock muskets, but it was obvious that now the Dutch army was facing the powerful cavalry, and the accuracy of the shot was naturally not comparable to the cavalry, not to mention, the cavalry was extremely fast, where was it so easy to hit? On the contrary, the Dutch soldiers who were standing were all live targets, and they had nothing to rely on!

The distance of two hundred paces, for the cavalry, is in the blink of an eye, and it is also a powerful cavalry, it is even more difficult to contain, in the blink of an eye, the Tianxiong army is in front of the Dutch soldiers, and the Dutch soldiers are no longer greeted by muskets, but bright sabers!

"Kill!"

One by one, the elite cavalry brandished their sabers and slashed down at the Dutch infantry, with the help of the powerful assault force of the war horse, where could the Dutch infantry resist?

In an instant, the Dutch infantry was in chaos by the impact, and it was difficult to parry!

However, Phillips and Kui Yi are obviously not good at stubble, constantly commanding the infantry to confront the Ming army, at this time, even if they grit their teeth, they have to resist it, and if they can't hold it, it means that dozens of artillery pieces and hundreds of artillery pieces behind them will be finished!

He Qingtian commanded nearly 3,000 cavalry and the Dutch infantry entangled, 3,000 cavalry faced 2,000 Dutch infantry, if they couldn't gain the upper hand, that day the Xiong army would be burdened with the name of the strong brigade in vain, the sword flashed, the stumps and broken arms flew sideways, blood was splashed, the Dutch infantry suffered heavy casualties, and there were even many unlucky eggs, who were directly hit by the cavalry's war horses and shattered bones, miserable!

Not only is it a surprise, but even Phillips is already panicking now, it is too powerful, the combat power of the Ming army is too strong, and it can't resist it at all, but it's going to be dead, why did the Ming cavalry come up so fast!

However, with the 3,000 cavalry in front of them, the Dutch army could barely withstand it for a moment and a half, but the other cavalry did not put into the attack, but went straight behind the Dutch army in a roundabout way!

Qin Mufeng!

Qin Mufeng was very cunning, let He Qingtian attack head-on, and led a thousand elite cavalry himself, directly detoured, and launched an attack on the artillery behind the Dutch army!

The speed was too fast, and the artillery at this time advanced only two or three hundred steps to the front, and the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army rushed up from behind!

"Kill!"

A thousand elite horsemen did not give the Dutch army a chance to react at all, and went straight into the artillery array and began to kill unscrupulously!

The Dutch infantry was no match for the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army, let alone a group of ill-equipped artillerymen? The elite cavalry has already rushed into the artillery array, and those artillery pieces are just a pile of broken copper and iron, and they can't even catch up with a big blade, so they can't pick up the artillery to fight, right? Don't say that the Dutch artillery, even the powerful Ao Bai is here, and he definitely doesn't have that ability! A cannon weighs at least two thousand catties, and the final one even weighs four or five thousand catties.

The unlucky Dutch artillery collapsed in an instant under the slaughter of the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army, and they couldn't resist it at all, they fled one after another, running, if they didn't run at this time, they could only wait for death!

The eyes were cracked at a glance, it was too miserable, one by one the artillery died tragically under the sabers of the Ming cavalry, without the power to resist, these are the elite forces of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the losses are too heavy!

However, there is no way to stare at it now, the Tianxiong Army is too powerful, not to mention the Dutch troops in front of him, head-to-head, even if all the Dutch troops in the entire Tainan are gathered here, they are definitely not the opponent of the Tianxiong Army's fine cavalry, the sword is fast and the horse is fast, the iron and blood are ruthless, and the Tianxiong Army is used to killing the fierce to the extreme!

"Phillips, immediately divide your forces to support the artillery!"

Kuichi roared angrily.

Phillips was about to cry, and said urgently: "General, how to divide the troops at this time, we are no longer a question of dividing the troops to resist the enemy, but whether we can break through the encirclement of the Ming army safely and retreat with the whole body, the artillery has collapsed, and soon that strange army will think that we will surround us, once we fall into the encirclement, then the whole army will be annihilated!" ”

Three or four thousand cavalry, against two thousand infantry, once the encirclement is completed, then even in the powerful infantry, you have to hate the battlefield, there is no doubt about this, even if the Dutch infantry is brave and good at fighting, there is no doubt that muskets are useless in this kind of encirclement and annihilation warfare, hand-to-hand combat, who will give you the opportunity to shoot? Before the bullet is loaded, the head has already moved!

"Damn the Ming Army!"

Gritting his teeth, he roared angrily: "Order, the whole army is breaking through to the Red Embedded City, quickly, break through with all your strength, you must kill it!" ”
