Chapter 34: The Time of the Decisive Battle! (Above)

"Soldiers, fight! When you kill the enemy before you, it will be your most glorious hour! ”

"Come, kill all the enemies in front of you, and let this general see your invincible glory!"

In front of the Beiwei infantry camp, Su Ming sat on the incomparably black horse and shouted very hard.

In Su Ming's hand, there was a giant bow that was nearly two meters high, and this was the legendary Overlord Bow!

At the same time, bundles of spear-like black feather giant arrows were on the sides of the black horse under Su Ming's seat!

"Kill!"

Behind the shield wall in front, accompanied by the rumbling of drums, all the soldiers of the Betrayal Army let out a fanatical roar at the same time.

Five miles away from them, there were 10,000 old Dashun camps wearing iron armor, holding heavy large shields, and holding battle axes and even hammers!

In front of these ironclad old battalions, there are teams of Dashun archers armed with six-force strong bows, and in front of the archers, there are more than 100,000 Dashun soldiers waiting in formation!

And at the back of the entire army of the Great Shun Army, there are hundreds of tiger squat cannons, red-coated cannons, Franky cannons and other cannons!

First open artillery bombardment of the Beiwei army, and then use cannon fodder Dashun soldiers to consume the combat power of the Beiwei army, and the ironclad infantry will charge under the cover of archers, open enough gaps in the shield wall of the Beiwei army, and then the cavalry is responsible for the follow-up charge, which is the standard tactic of the Dashun army to attack the camp, but it is obvious that there is no cavalry in the Dashun army now.

Today, the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Dashun Army are fighting with the more than 2,000 heavy cavalry of the Beiwei Army.

On Su Ming's way to Beijing City, all the secret posts of the Dashun Army that he encountered along the way were killed by the back sentry horsemen.

Moreover, because the Dashun army gathered all the troops to attack Beijing and the surrounding defenses were empty, it was not until Su Ming led the Beiwei First Infantry Division to ten miles outside Beijing that it was discovered by Li Zicheng and other high-level officials of the Dashun army.

However, when they knew that Su Ming was coming, the seven hundred cavalry of the First Cavalry Regiment and the First Infantry Division under Su Ming were already on the way to charge!

Su Ming originally planned to sneak attack, and used three thousand iron horsemen to attack the rear of Li Zicheng's Dashun army, and exploded his chrysanthemum.

But it just so happened that the 20,000 old cavalry of the Dashun Army were waiting to rush into Beijing.

So, under Li Zicheng's order, the 20,000 old battalion cavalry directly turned around and charged the back iron cavalry!

In this way, the cavalry of the Beiwei army and the cavalry of the Dashun army fought together.

Su Ming ignored the cavalry battlefield, took the 1st Infantry Division of Beiwei around a corner, gave up the idea of exploding Li Zicheng chrysanthemum, and launched an attack on the flank of the Dashun army.

However, when the 1st Infantry Division of Beiwei spent half an hour and crossed nearly ten miles to reach the flank of the Dashun Army, the Dashun Army was ready for battle.

So, there is this scene at the beginning.

More than 100,000 soldiers took the lead, 30,000 or 40,000 archers followed, and finally 10,000 armored old battalions, a total of nearly 200,000 people, confronted each other with the 1st Infantry Division of Beiwei!

It's not that the Dashun army doesn't want to come up with more troops, but it's really useless!

In the process of attacking Beijing, the Dashun army suffered 40,000 or 50,000 casualties (the casualty rate of the siege battle is completely different from the casualty rate of the field battle, and the Dashun army may be able to bear 200,000 casualties in the siege battle, but it is absolutely impossible to bear the casualty rate of 20% in the field battle), but most of the dead and wounded are Dashun soldiers, and the casualties of the old camp of Dashun are probably less than 1,000.

Therefore, although the strength of the Dashun army has been lost, the loss is not large, and the remaining troops are more than 400,000.

However, Su Ming came too suddenly, and the Dashun army now has nearly 200,000 soldiers on the Beijing city wall, including 30,000 Dashun old battalions, it can be said that more than half of the combat effectiveness of the Dashun army has not had time to withdraw!

Therefore, when most of the Dashun soldiers in Beijing were withdrawn, Li Zicheng and others did not dare to rashly launch an attack.

Although I don't know where this Ming army came from, but looking at the posture of everyone wearing heavy armor, it is definitely not a good stubble to mess with, maybe Liu Zongmin has been planted in their hands, there is no absolute certainty, Li Zicheng and others dare not attack casually.

And the reason why Su Ming didn't take advantage of the situation to launch an attack was because he was also waiting for Li Zicheng to withdraw most of the Dashun army in Beijing!
