Chapter 430: Dingding Decisive Battle V
Since Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry archery pioneered cavalry warfare, cavalry has always been used as a mobile force on the battlefield and the key to the final victory.
The strength of a country depends on how many cavalry are available, and the foot soldiers are as strong as Zhao and Song, and eventually they will die under the iron hooves of the Mongols.
Emperor Yongle's five expeditions to Mobei relied on the powerful cavalry force that the Ming Dynasty relied on at the beginning of the founding of the country, and completely defeated the remnants of Mengyuan under the coordination of infantry and artillery.
It was the day when Nurhachi established the Jin Dynasty, all the troops also used cavalry as the main combat force, compared to the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, from the beginning of the Wanli period, until now, in the memory of Abatai, their Manchurian iron cavalry has not yet found an opponent who can compete with one of them.
The tyrannical Mongol tribes still did not marry their women to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty as a means of marrying as a means of showing goodwill.
The cavalry of the Ming army that charged from afar, let go of their leaders is the Ming Emperor, and only look at them from the eyes of the cavalry, these people are nothing more than a chicken in the eyes of Abatai.
Abatai drew his long knife and shouted loudly: "Manchurian warriors, show your courage, the Eight Banners are victorious, and the Qing Dynasty is victorious..."
"Eight Banners Ten Thousand Victories, Ten Thousand Victories in the Qing Dynasty..."
"Rush..."
The elites of the two blue flags have been preparing to go, and their opponent is the exhausted Yulin veteran army who has charged several times.
At the moment, Chen Cao couldn't take care of much, and he had only one goal, which was Abatai, who was heavily guarded not far away.
And Zhao Xin followed Chen Cao closely with the only remaining six or seven hundred brocade guards, and without Chen Cao's too many orders, Zhao Xin also knew what his emperor was going to do.
"Kill..."
The battle was only a stick of incense, Chen Cao fell into a crisis, more than 5,000 people were killed by 10,000 cavalry, and only less than 2,000 people remained, and the opponent lost more than 2,000 people at the same time they were surrounded by layers of them, and the war horses could no longer exert their strength.
Ranger Cavalry Shooting...
"Your Majesty, there is still a chance..."
Gao Jie only wanted to protect Chen Cao out, but judging from the fierce battlefield battle in the distance, it was obvious that Abatai did not give Gao Jie enough space to escape, as long as he looked closely, they were already fish on someone else's chopping board.
Chen Cao did not pay attention to Gao Jie, but ordered the cavalry to take out their bows and arrows and shoot at the Qing army.
However, this approach is a drop in the bucket.
Abatai was ecstatic in his heart at the moment, if he could capture or kill Chen Cao here, it would be a big blow to the Ming army in the south, and after that, the Ming army in the south would be scattered, and it was only a matter of time before the Qing State occupied the entire Central Plains.
On a small slope to the west of the battlefield, Wang Xiaojie was watching the entire battlefield, and ran up the slope panting: "The military seat, the Tartars are not fortified in the rear, they have released all their troops." ”
"Junza, Your Majesty's side can't hold on."
Wang Xiaojie put down the clairvoyant mirror, and then said in a deep voice: "All the cannons are in place, according to the buttocks of the Tartars, divide a brigade of troops, bury mines along the way, and the guard regiment will put all the revolvers on the frontal battlefield, as long as the Tartars dare to charge, they will fight to the death for this seat." ”
Abatai was full of confidence, and he estimated that it would only take half an hour at most to completely eat these remnants of the defeated soldiers, and then capture Chen Cao alive.
At this moment, there was a sound of bombardment and artillery from far and near, and before Abatai could react, a violent explosion began behind him, and the Qing cavalry without the slightest preparation was suddenly overturned on his back by the bombed man, and the formation was in chaos.
Zhao Xin, who was ready to fight back to the death, almost shed tears when he saw this, and scolded the reinforcement commanders who should have arrived in the plan a long time ago, and when he looked at Chen Cao beside him, Chen Cao looked into the distance expressionlessly: "Zhao Xin, I want to kill Abatai personally." ”
There was an army in the rear that opened fire, and Abatai in a panic naturally wanted to send troops to check, but after the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army passed, the cavalry of the Ming army, who had been obviously killed by the neck, were now like a killing god possessed, relying on this qi to rush towards them.
For a while, their own cavalry had no way to arrive, so they turned around and left one by one.
Even the Bolo brothers, who were fighting with Yu Shiwei outside the encirclement, were also very unhappy when they saw this, and immediately led their soldiers to turn their horses and converge in the direction of Abatai.
The gunshots in the distance began to come, the gunshots were dense like rain, Chen Cao's ears were very sharp, and he immediately reacted that the chaotic guns from Songjiang's support had been escorted by Pang Zhifan.
This is also within Chen Cao's plan, the reason why Pang Zhifan left Xuzhou is also to go to Nanjing to pick up the thirty revolvers that have been manufactured, and using him to deal with cavalry is a magic weapon for victory.
Abatai didn't expect that the firearms of the Ming army that rushed to reinforce were so ferocious, and the three thousand people sent out only returned less than seven or eight hundred, and Zhang Jing, the leader of the team, looked frightened.
"What's going on?"
"The king... Rajah... The firearms of the Southern Barbarians are too fierce, and our cavalry rushed over, and it was not yet a hundred paces... All dead..."
Abatai frowned, he thought about it for a long time, thinking about it, at most, Chen Cao still had some hidden firearms, if there were fierce firearms, they were used at the beginning of the war, why bother here: "Someone, Ansu cholera army heart, cut off his head." ”
"Lord Wang... Lord Wang..."
"Amma..."Boheto and Bolo hurried over: "The Ming army has begun to counterattack, and the battle here is unfavorable, so let's go and join Hauge immediately." ”
Blindly running away is naturally not a thing, Abatai was ready to cut off in person, but he didn't believe Ansu's words very much, so he looked at Bo Hetuo and said: "You take people to open the way, and let the people of the Han Army Banner take the lead in charging the reinforcements of the Ming people, they must have no cavalry." ”
Boheto nodded when he heard this: "Ama don't worry. ”
Bo Luo said: "Amma, you and Bo and Tuo withdraw first, and leave it to me here." ”
The originally good situation has actually turned around now, and Abatai is very unhappy, so he naturally will not agree to Bolo's request: "You cover from the flank, I will personally rush to see it." ”
The regrouped Qing army, led by Abatai, launched an attack on the exhausted army Chen Cao, and defeated Chen Cao's formation in just one round.
Chen Cao couldn't do anything, but now it was fortunate that Zu Dashou and Gao Jie were desperately restraining their subordinates, otherwise the remaining one or two thousand people would completely collapse because of the battle damage.
Fortunately, You Shiwei arrived in time, and the addition of fresh combat power made Chen Cao's morale soar, and after glaring at Abatai who was running away, he raised his gun and shouted: "You Shiwei, charge with me." ”
Chen Cao's target was Abatai, and naturally he couldn't let Abatai run away so easily, so the situation changed under the arrival of Wang Xiaojie, and the Ouroboros pursuit became Chen Cao's side.
There was no pause in the gunfire from the beginning, and when Abatai took Chen Cao to retreat in a big circle, he ran into Bolo head-on, and a Goshha next to Bolo was carrying a person on his back, and when Abatai saw it clearly, he held back a big sulk, Goshha was carrying no one else, it was his son Boheto.
Before Abatai could speak, Bolo's voice said with a little horror: "Amma, let's go quickly, the firearms of the Ming army are fierce, and our cavalry has not yet charged half the distance, even the men and horses are all dead, and the death is extremely tragic, and the horses are all beaten into minced meat." ”
"Nonsense..."
Bolo didn't care about Abatai's refutation at all, and continued: "It's really Amma, Bo and Tuo led people to charge, he hid on the side of the war horse and ran sideways to release arrows, I saw with my own eyes that the firearms of the Ming army pierced the war horse and him, you see." ”
Goshha, who was next to him, immediately put Boheto down, and his chest was so rotten that he couldn't even find his cotton armor, and Boheto was obviously dead and couldn't die anymore.
At this time, Abatai always believed the words of Ansu under the fear of Ansu before, and the death of his son was placed in front of him: "Pass the order, the whole army assembles, and charge the front of the Ming army." ”
A frontal charge meant that it was necessary to attack the interior of the central camp of the Ming army, which was now a pot of porridge.
It is precisely because Abatai thinks of the chaos over there that he will create a chance for them to escape from that side, otherwise there is no way to start on his side.
When Chen Cao saw Abatai's army begin to charge head-on towards them, he was immediately overjoyed, the previous Ouroboros pursuit was taken around by Abatai in a big circle, and many people died, and now since the opponent took the initiative to charge, he didn't care about their plans, just rush up.
"I don't care about Abatai's life or death, as long as I hold him, I will be knighted..."
After the two sides engaged, the Qing army killed the Ming army formation with a sharp arrow formation, and in the midst of the chaos, Chen Cao saw Abatai who was surrounded by heavy troops in the center of the charge, and rushed towards Abatai with a gun.
"Protect the prince..."
"Kill the past..."
A group of Goshha rushed towards Chen Cao's side, and Abatai saw that his side was actually targeted by Chen Cao; Suddenly, the blood and qi surged, and all the previous anger rushed to Tianling Gai: "Bolo, you take people to act according to the plan. ”
The main reason for the Manchu Qing's constant victories in the war against Zhu Ming was that the Eight Banners were executed, whether it was a father or a son.
Bolo did not stop at all, and continued to charge with a large army, and soon broke away from Chen Cao's entanglement.
And Abatai is already taking the initiative to break off at the moment, and he also wants to fight Chen Cao to the death.
"Abatai..."
"Chen Cao..."
'Bang...'
As soon as a gunshot rang out, Abatai fell on his back, and the Goshha beside him rushed up one after another, one jumped and one horse to support Abatai, and before Chen Cao fired the next shot, Abatai was already surrounded by Goshha, regardless of whether the people behind him escaped or not, they all rushed forward.
Chen Cao, who doesn't talk about martial arts, doesn't want to use cold weapons to fight a decisive battle with Abatai at all, a quick victory is the key to this war, as long as it can be won, any conditions can be created.
"Your Majesty, the Tartars have run to our camp."
"Ran away?"
