"Don't get separated, keep up!"

"Hold your breath as much as you can and cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve!"

Before turning back and rushing into the smoke, Ling Jie shouted to remind his followers. Before the last sentence fell, he felt a heat wave coming over him, and his vision quickly blurred, breaking into a smoky world.

At first, it was fine, and I was able to see the road in the distance. As we went deeper, we reached the place where the smoke was thickest, and the farthest was more than ten meters away. The sides of the road were filled with flames, and a strong, pungent smell hung over the air. Around Ling Jie, there were only more than a dozen relatives left, and the rest seemed to have all disappeared in this smoke and fire.

Fortunately, the traces left by the previous cavalry are still there.

Follow the traces of the road surface, compare the directions in your memory, at least you will not get lost in this smoke.

Fifty steps, one hundred steps, two hundred steps......

Ling Jie's eyes were stimulated by the hot air waves and poisonous smoke, and his nose and throat were also hot and painful, but he still persevered as much as he could. The war horse under him was also obviously stimulated by the poisonous smoke, but it also knew that it was the moment of life and death for its master, so it spread its hooves and ran east according to the master's instructions.

"Why haven't you rushed out yet?"

Ling Jie, who couldn't hold his breath, had to breathe a few mouthfuls of choking air, and immediately coughed violently from stimulation. Because of the thin oxygen in the fire, he even felt a little dizzy. Just when I wondered if I was going the wrong way and was about to get completely lost in the fire, the smoke in front of me quickly thinned.

Ling Jie's heart flashed with a bit of ecstasy!

Rush out!

The moment the light reappeared, Ling Jie couldn't help but take a big breath. Looking behind him, there were guards and cavalrymen rushing out one after another, but there were also those who had followed closely before who had fallen behind and disappeared. No matter what the reason is, in this case, if you are caught in the sea of fire, I am afraid that most of them will be more than lucky.

Looking at the fire that seemed to be getting more and more intense, Ling Jie felt a little luck and fear in his heart.

However, the mood that had just been relaxed soon disappeared without a trace. A few hundred meters in front of them, a team of nearly 400 horses was accelerating and rushing towards them.

The one who commanded this horse team was none other than Ning Gui and Yan Dongxing!

Just half a month ago, Ling Jie led 1,500 cavalry in high spirits and chased Yan Dongxing everywhere. But in the blink of an eye, Feng Shui changed. While Ling Jie's cavalry had only more than 100 people completely rushed out of the sea of fire and everyone was exhausted, the horse team of the Taiping Army launched a large-scale charge.

They avoided the war before, but this time they took on the main force in the battle of Yuyang.

This is also the first large-scale cavalry duel since the establishment of the Taiping Army's horse team!

On one side there were less than four hundred horsemen, and on the other side were-

Previously, in order to break through the Taiping military camp, the Songjiang cavalry lost about one brigade of combat effectiveness; On the way in, at least twenty or thirty horsemen were lost; In addition to the battle outside the side car formation, at least two or three hundred horsemen were killed and wounded. The losses alone have been determined, and there are enough four hundred cavalry. On the way out of the fire, there will be more or less damage.

According to this number, Ling Jie's men may have a thousand horses left!

Four hundred horsemen against a thousand cavalry!

Not only is there a huge disparity in numbers, but the level and literacy of both sides are not on the same level!

It stands to reason that this should have been a battle without suspense, and the officers and cavalry should have won a landslide victory.

In fact, this is not the case at all!

In the duel between cavalry, the number and combat power are of course important, but there are two other reasons that are also crucial, that is, speed and formation!

Most of Ling Jie's 1,000 cavalry were still trapped in the fire and did not rush out. Moreover, they killed a round trip in the Taiping army camp, and the already not abundant body lì had been reduced to a rather dangerous point. In addition, under the influence of heat waves and poisonous smoke, even the cavalry that rushed out had no formation at all, and stopped scattered near the gap in the fence wall, like a cloud of loose sand!

The Taiping Army was a complete difference.

Although they also ran around Songjiang with the official army for half a circle, since they returned, the Taiping Army horse team has been recuperating with peace of mind. At the moment when the Songjiang cavalry brazenly attacked the Taiping army camp, the Taiping army horse team, which had left the camp in advance and was waiting for an opportunity nearby, rushed back and lined up in a flat open space south of Yuyang City.

At the moment when Ling Jie took the lead in rushing out of the sea of fire with more than a dozen personal soldiers, the Taiping Army horse team that was waiting for work launched a charge!

Nearly 400 horse teams, with overwhelming momentum, rushed towards the Songjiang cavalry, who had no fighting spirit, were physically and mentally exhausted, and were in a mess!

"Assemble the army, face the battle!"

Realizing that he had made a mistake - or rather, Ling Jie, who had despised the Taiping army at all, did not regret it, and desperately gathered his subordinates. If it is a normal exercise, with the elite of the Songjiang cavalry, it may still be able to do it. But in a hurry, it would be good for the cavalry who had just rushed out of the fire to distinguish the southeast and northwest. Seeing the surging Taiping Army horse team, many people panicked directly, and Ling Jie's real strength was less than two hundred horses.

Moreover, the speed could not be raised!

"It's over."

After bringing cavalry for so many years, Ling Jie couldn't know the current situation better. Seeing that the speed of the Taiping Army's horse team had increased to the extreme, rushing to a distance of fifty paces, and flashing his saber towards his side, Ling Jie's eyes flashed with despair.

After a few breaths, the cavalry groups of both sides collided together.

Some of the cavalry of the official army, which could barely maintain their condition, controlled their horses to pass through the gaps in the Taiping army's horse team, held their sabers horizontally, and used the staggered impact force to cut through the enemy's waist and ribs. Even if it is protected by leather armor, this knife will probably be finished. However, more of the Songjiang cavalry were completely inferior in speed, morale, and physique, and were cut down by the roaring Taiping cavalry, which had excellent formation and timing.

The thirteen horsemen of Yan Xing, led by Yan Dongxing, have worked hard in the past few months!

In terms of overall strength, they are indeed much weaker than the Songjiang cavalry, and it will be difficult to catch up for a while and a half. But in the case of such absolute superiority, it is not difficult to defeat the opponent by relying on the overall charge. In other words, Chen Wu set the conditions for the Taiping Army horse team to participate in the war, and Yan Dongxing also deliberately focused on this aspect of training.

At the perfect time to cut in, the four hundred horses roared by, and a wave of cavalry broke Songjiang's cavalry!

The two hundred cavalry that Ling Jie had barely assembled were cut down sixty or seventy people in one go. At least a third of the cavalry was killed in the wave. Whoever doesn't come out has almost no chance of surviving in this chaotic cavalry battlefield!

"Turn left and scatter them!"

After the long-planned charge succeeded, Yan Dongxing examined the appropriateness and led the horse team to adjust the direction.

They ignored the heavily battered Ling Jie's troops, who had been scattered again, and instead aimed at the other cavalry who had not yet had time to assemble, or even fell at the end of the cavalry that had just rushed out of the flames.

The total number of cavalry of the officers and troops, after all, is twice as much, or even more!

Yan Dongxing knew this very well, and the key to victory was not to allow these scattered cavalry to gather. Therefore, after his horse team turned, he kept chasing the officers and cavalry who were scattered and fleeing. As soon as there is a possibility of grouping together, they will immediately rush over and scatter these cavalry again.

Unable to assemble into a large queue, no matter how many of these stragglers there are, they are still a meal on the plate!

"Damn!"

After escaping more than a mile away, he finally found an opportunity to reunite his subordinates, and watched Yan Dongxing's horse team scatter his subordinates and chase them wantonly, and the urge to vomit blood in his heart was there. However, reason finally made him suppress the idea of turning back and fighting Yan Dongxing.

The horse team of the Taiping army made a charge at the most critical moment, and his cavalry suffered another heavy blow on the basis of the great injury of vitality. The remaining strength was no longer enough to achieve an overwhelming victory over the Taiping Army horse team. Not to mention the body that is already powerless, even if you barely fight to the end, you will lose a defeat with the horse team of the Taiping Army, and then what?

The main infantry of the Taiping Army can still easily capture Yuyang Mansion!

In this case, when your own side is at the greatest disadvantage, what is the point of fighting to the death with the enemy to the end in vain?

It's better to retreat here, recuperate, and fight again one day!

Gathering more than a hundred cavalry who had escaped one after another, Ling Jie looked around, and there were only three hundred people left around him, all with panic and wolves. I wanted to lead 1,500 cavalry from Wujiang Mansion at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to end up so bleak......

Seeing that the remaining cavalry had no chance of evading Yan Dongxing's pursuit, Ling Jie took a fierce look and fled with the only cavalry.

Where did you come from, where did you go back!

This move also made the abandoned Songjiang cavalry and the defenders of Yuyang Mansion desperate.

Due to the close proximity, Hong Fei, the joint captain of the Yuyang City Guard and the City Defense Battalion, watched the whole battle from beginning to end. At the beginning, Ling Jie's cavalry rushed into the camp after paying the loss of a brigade, so that they once saw the hope of quelling the bandits and surviving in a desperate situation. But then, they noticed the formation of vans and cars that the Taiping army had removed its camouflage and revealed.

Although they didn't know what it was for, they instinctively tried to warn the Matsue cavalry.

It's a pity that the shouts on the head of the city failed to attract Ling Jie's attention. Moreover, even if he heard the reminder, Ling Jie, who had absolute confidence in the cavalry, would not give up the attack because of a "car wall" that he had never seen before. As for the end, when they saw the Songjiang cavalry being frustrated one after another, and the Taiping soldiers secretly setting fire to the back, although Yuyang City Guard and Hong Fei had not seen the end, their hearts had sunk deeply.

The horse team of the Taiping Army, this moment is here!

When Ling Jie's cavalry rushed out of the sea of fire with the joy of escaping from the catastrophe, as everyone knows, the real danger has just come!

A crushing defeat, with only three hundred cavalry wolves fleeing back to ......

At this time, Yuyang City Shou and Hong Fei finally knew that Yuyang City was finished!

This time, there really wasn't anyone who could save them.
