571 [Cavalry Battle]
The general who led the 3,000 Datong cavalry to carry out the wall-like charge was the notorious "Horse Harrier" and "Living Lu Bu" Wang Fuchen in history.
This person was born in Shanxi, likes to gamble, and often loses as pants. . .
In the face of the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, he first took refuge in Jiang Jiu, and then surrendered to the Manchu Qing with Jiang Huang. Then, Jiang Hao raised an army against the Qing Dynasty, and Wang Fuchen was defeated and surrendered to Azig, and became the coated servant of Xin Zheku. Because of his strength and might, he was promoted to a first-class guard by Shunzhi, and then became the chief soldier of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
He entered Burma with Wu Sangui, captured Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and was transferred to the governor of Shaanxi.
Wu Sangui rebelled, Wang Fuchen first helped the Manchu Qing, then took refuge in Wu Sangui, and then chose to surrender to the Qing again.
Lu Bu is just a slave with the third surname, and Wang Fuchen repeatedly jumped sideways six or seven times!
Shunzhi's evaluation of him is: Whoever smells of a horse harrier, a warrior. I don't know where it is, but I can use it for others.
Kangxi's evaluation of him is: There are military ministers like this, why worry about me?
This thing is not only tall and mighty, but also very handsome. The face is fair, and the eyebrows are like lying silkworms, like the portrait of Lu Bu that has been handed down from generation to generation.
Historical records are: the three armies of the brave crown, and the direction cannot be ...... He is a person, respectful to things, trustworthy to friends, lenient to others, and strict with his subordinates. However, meritorious service will be rewarded, although strict, the scholar is also happy to use it.
Wang Fuchen followed Jiang Hao to surrender together, and he was inconspicuous at that time, just a middle-level officer who surrendered, and he could not be compared with Huang Fei and Yuan Shi.
But this person is so good, he will come to things, he will do what he says, abide by military discipline, unite his comrades-in-arms, and even bravely champion the three armies.
He even actively learns cultural knowledge, and his literacy speed is very fast, learning more than 1,000 words in a year, and he can learn several words a day on average.
Promote all the way, smooth sailing!
Just like in history, the speed of promotion was very fast, from slave to first-class guard, and then quickly promoted to general soldier. At this time, Wang Fuchen had been promoted from a small soldier to a cavalry commander.
"Da Da Da!"
Wang Fuchen held his spear, looked at the Tartar in front of him, and led his subordinates to rush without hesitation.
Once the wall charge begins, the general loses the ability to command the troops. Because it was too densely crowded, it was impossible to change the formation at all, even if there was a cliff in front of him, he could only rush over it.
The general of the Qing army was Nurhachi's grandson Nikan.
Nikan met Li Dingguo a few years ago and was killed and fled. Now not only is he alive and well, but he has also been named the king of the county.
He rode his horse and galloped dozens of paces, intending to get close to the archery and fight with the Datong cavalry first, so as to find out the tactics of this strange cavalry.
But the closer the two armies became, the more Nikan felt bad.
With such a dense cavalry formation, the Southern Barbarians are not fully clothed in armor, and they will obviously be shot as targets. But why didn't they disperse? Why don't they disperse, are they fools?
When the two sides were thirty paces apart, Nikan put the arrow on the bowstring and waited for it to be released when it was within range. But suddenly he didn't dare to wait, and shot the arrow indiscriminately, shouting at the herald: "Spread out on both sides! ”
Without Nikan's order, the Manchu cavalry fled spontaneously.
At such a close distance, the Datong cavalry was actually accelerating the charge, and the Tatar cavalry knew what it meant.
This means that if they dare to go into range and then release arrows, they will be hit by the cavalry wall in an instant. When the time comes, no matter who wins or loses, there will be a big car crash scene, and it will be up to God to survive the crash - imagine thinking of the cavalry as a motorcycle, with thousands of motorcycles lined up, all speeding towards you.
"Accelerate, accelerate!"
Wang Fuchen roared and shouted, and the spurs on his heels continued to gallop wildly.
Man Dahai stood on the hillside, looking at the scene with a clairvoyant mirror, and the whole person was already in a state of confusion.
How can a cavalry battle be fought like this?
If both sides charge intensively, isn't it a collective death? The front row of cavalry all had to be killed!
The 3,000 Manchu cavalry, although the formation was loosely arranged, it also took time to temporarily change the formation to avoid. Under the frantic acceleration of the Datong cavalry, the cavalry wall was pressed over in a blink of an eye, and the situation could be described as devastating.
Of course, the Datong cavalry was also knocked over quite a bit.
Fortunately, after the two sides approached, the war horses of the Datong cavalry automatically slowed down out of instinct, and the momentum of the high-speed charge naturally slowed down.
"Spread out and kill, hahaha!"
Wang Fuchen felt that this kind of charge was so exciting, and he usually practiced countless times, but this was the first time it was used in actual combat.
The Manchu cavalry was not a rout, but it was indeed fleeing, mainly to dodge the cavalry wall. When they ran, they did not flee but also fled, and the frontal enemy was chased and killed by the Datong cavalry.
The Datong cavalry on both sides began to stretch, and the dense formation gradually loosened up. Wang Fuchen overturned the tartar with one shot, and just wanted to overturn the second one, but he was killed by the soldiers around him.
Nikan doesn't care about anything at the moment, only knows how to fight a horse and run for his life.
"Hurry up and pick it up!" Hauge roared.
Rausa immediately took thousands of Manchu cavalry and slaughtered him from another hillside.
Wang Tingchen, the commander of the Datong Cavalry Division, hurriedly waved the order flag when he saw this, and the nearby cavalry troops went to intercept Lausa.
On the side of the Datong Army, there are really many generals with similar names, Wang Tingchen, Wang Yaochen, Wang Fuchen, Li Dingguo, Li Fuguo......
The defeat and escape of Nikan caused the cavalry on both sides to join the battlefield one after another.
You know, Hauge threw away his armor in order to withdraw his troops quickly. Today, only a few cavalrymen wore armor, either snatched halfway or picked up from the Eight Banners along the way.
"Bang bang bang!"
Some cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty fired on horseback, and hundreds of Datong cavalry were hit one after another.
But that's all, they had too few dragoons and had little impact on the outcome of the battle.
Raussa collided with another group of Datong cavalry, this time without a wall charge, because the time was too short to line up. The two sides hedged in a traditional loose formation, killing each other into the gap between the other's formation. As long as the Datong cavalry did not fall off their horses, most of them were wounded but did not die, and the death rate of the Manchu cavalry without armor was much higher!
Wang Fuchen took the lead and chased after Nikan.
Nikan heard the sound of horses' hooves and glanced back, only to see a spear piercing. He hurriedly ducked, Wang Fuchen stabbed the air with a shot, and simply raised his gun and smashed it down.
The barrel of this gun, made of composite materials, has a certain willfulness. said that it was smashed, but in fact it was shaking his wrist, and with a flick of Wang Fuchen's wrist, the gun fell on Nikan's back.
Falling only a foot away, Nikan seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer, lying on his horse's back and spitting blood.
is a fierce general, not only has great strength, but also uses ingenuity!
Nikan felt that all his internal organs were displaced, and his mind went blank, and he only clung to the reins. Suddenly there was a pain in his waist, his whole body was poked to the side, his lower body fell off the horse's back, he was still holding the reins in his hand, and he was dragged out by the war horse for several steps before letting go.
"Ahh
Another Datong cavalryman, with his horse, trampled over Nikan and broke the spine of the cargo.
Wang Fuchen's army chased out a mile before gradually stopping. More than 200 of them were killed, mainly from being knocked off their horses while charging. The enemy's 3,000 horsemen were completely scattered, probably a third of them fled, and the remaining two-thirds were all killed.
Wang Fuchen ordered the formation to be regrouped, and the dense formation began to trot, and then gradually accelerated to run, crashing towards the flank of another Manchu cavalry.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mandahai immediately led his troops and rushed to the hills further north.
Hauge's reaction was the same, the unarmored Manchu cavalry, facing the Datong cavalry in cotton armor or cuirasse, no matter how fierce the Manchurian warriors were, they could not turn the tide of the battle. There were disadvantages in the battles everywhere, and a part of the Manchu cavalry had collapsed, and there was no way to escape if they fought again.
"The Tartar boss wants to escape, follow me!" Wang Tingchen, the chief general of the Datong cavalry, led the Chinese reserve of the cavalry division and personally chased after Haoge.
Wang Yaochen, the chief mission officer of the cavalry division, led his troops to chase and kill Mandahai.
Isn't it very round, Wang Tingchen, Wang Yaochen, and Wang Fuchen are all in the cavalry division.
Actually, except for the royal courtiers, the other two were changed later.
Especially Wang Fuchen, a Liukou in Shanxi, voted for the name of the Ming Dynasty official army.
The two princes, Haoge and Mandahai, fled, and the Manchu cavalry, who were fighting, suddenly fell to the bottom of their morale. Rausa was still fighting bloodily, and the other Manchu cavalry units fled in all directions.
The main force of the Tartars, who ran back from Tianjin, was wiped out in a battle and was chased all over the mountains and fled in the hills of northwest Liaoning.
Being chased by the royal courtiers, Haoge was finally completely angry, and turned around to fight with his troops.
There were only more than 1,000 people on both sides, abandoning any fancy work, nor shooting arrows and arrows at each other, and directly hedged away in a loose formation.
Wang Tingchen was born in the 3,000 battalions of the Ming Jingshi, and followed Cao Bianjiao to the south. Cao Bianjiao's promotion was not as fast as Wang Tingchen's, it was purely because Lao Cao's military discipline was not good, and he was punished four times one after another.
For the first hedge, Wang Tingchen slashed one person.
The two armies staggered, each slowing down and turning. The Datong cavalry was wounded a lot, but less than 20% were killed, while the Manchu cavalry was directly killed 40%.
"Come again!"
Wang Tingchen shouted.
Hauge recognized Wang Tingchen this time, and charged with less and more, and he himself rushed towards Wang Tingchen.
The two fired their guns almost at the same time, each dodging it.
But there were more Datong cavalry, Wang Tingchen stabbed the air with a shot, and the Datong cavalry on the other side stabbed the war horse under Haoge's crotch.
"Hiss!"
The horse screamed, raised its hooves, and threw Hauge off his horse.
"Save the prince!"
Hauge's own soldiers reined in one after another, trying to rescue him, but the Datong cavalry took the opportunity to charge again.
Wang Tingchen stabbed out with a spear and knocked over one of Haoge's personal soldiers. The rest of the soldiers were also killed by his subordinates, and then turned the horse's head to look, but saw Hauge's body lying on the ground, and he didn't know whose horse he was trampling to death.
Wang Yaochen, who was chasing Mandahai, came back and said with a look of chagrin: "After the thief broke the army, he ran away with dozens of personal soldiers!" ”
"Don't be afraid, haha," Wang Tingchen laughed, "These are all Tartars who came back from Hebei, so embarrassed, even the armor is not even, it is obvious that Lord Fei has won." Even if we can escape a few hundred horses and ride back, the Tartars will lose their elite, and at most we will be able to recover the entire Liaodong next year. ”
On the side of the main battlefield, the Manchu Qing warrior Laosa was still fighting in eight wounds, and the cavalry around him was almost dead.
The Datong cavalry surrounded the more than ten horsemen and watched like that.
Rausa roared: "Kill again!" ”
The Datong cavalry took out their bows and arrows, and hundreds of people shot towards a dozen Manchu cavalry.
Rausa shut up and instantly turned into a hedgehog.
