Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 979 The Skirmish 4
The angle and timing of the cavalry inlaid with red flags were extremely tricky. Just when Cao Jun's troops were rejoicing in defeating the encirclement of the Qing army, and at the same time exhausted, they launched an attack decisively, and they were swift and fierce as soon as they came up. Gun charge!The cavalry of the Qing army used to shoot two arrows with their bows when they were facing the enemy, and then drew their swords to kill them. They were different. A team of 50 people lined up in a neat formation. The three-to-four-meter-long spear was clamped under the ribs. It was as stable as a compass and pointed straight to the chest and abdomen of the soldiers of the Heluo New Army. The horses were as fast as thunder. The Luoxin Army Lancers defeated the Qing Army Cavalry again and again!The Qing army is indeed an army that is very good at learning. Xianghongqi was beaten the worst in the Battle of Lushun. After rebuilding, it crazily imitated the tactics of the new army of Heluo, including crossbowmen and musketeers shooting in three bursts, including Break through the enemy formation with warriors in heavy armor and holding a huge axe, including this terrible wall-riding charge tactic!They still can't charge two or three thousand cavalry like a wall like the Heluo New Army, but a team of fifty or even one hundred cavalry is more than enough to charge!

Cao Jun's expression changed slightly, and the two squadron leaders even exclaimed in shock: "Now we are in dire straits!"

It is indeed miserable, one inch is long and one inch is strong. If the saber cavalry is confronted head-on, the cavalry with sabers will definitely not be able to beat the cavalry with lances. This time it has been proved in countless exercises and confrontations.Of course, if it's close-to-hand combat, the saber cavalry is more dominant. The problem is that everyone is charging at high speed, and often a single charge can determine the outcome. Only ghosts will fight with you close-to-body!Therefore, there are two tactics summed up by the saber cavalry to deal with the cavalry:

Tactic [-]: Lead the Lancers to a battlefield with lots of bushes and broken terrain, use the terrain and numerous obstacles to limit the performance of the Lancers, and then stick them to the battlefield;

Tactic [-]: Hide and boil these sons of bitches to death!

Both tactics are very effective, but they are useless. This is a great plain, no broken terrain, no bushes, which is an excellent place for the Lancers to play; There is no way to hide and boil these sons of bitches to death, so they can only meet the thunderous impact with their flesh and blood!

Cao Jun yelled: "Rush to the gap!"

There was no way around this. The tactics of the Qing Army Lancers were not yet proficient enough. There were still many gaps in the wall when they charged, and there was still a chance of survival if they drilled there.The surviving cavalry hunters looked determined, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, squeezed out the last bit of horsepower, and roared towards the Qing army cavalry rushing at high speed.Immediately, sharp gun blades aimed at their chests and abdomens and stabbed them fiercely. There was a muffled sound of tearing flesh and blood, and the charging chasseurs were picked off their horses one after another, and then they were run over by the galloping cavalry. Turn into a mass of meat paste.The Chasseurs swung their sabers and tried their best to block the spears that were stabbing them in the face. They seldom had the power to fight back. It was good if they could save their lives. If they blocked it, they would live for one more second. After entering, the chest comes out, the battle is so cruel!
Cao Jun swung his long saber in a circle, and blocked two spears that were stabbing him in the face. The saber was too late to retract, and the third spear pierced again.This Lancer must be a cold and experienced veteran. He did not choose the largest chest and abdomen of the target as the target like other Lancers, but stabbed Cao Jun's throat with a single shot, fast and hard!Cao Jun's hairs stood on end, he instinctively dodged sideways, but he still couldn't dodge completely, only heard a hiss, the blade of the gun brushed across his neck, leaving a thin and long wound, Almost hurt the neck artery!Cao Jun tried his best to return the knife, but he missed the cut, because when he recovered his body, the two sides had already passed each other. The armor was slightly deformed by the knock, and half of Cao Jun's body was numb. If he hadn't been stubborn and clenched tightly, he might have dropped the saber already!But fortunately, after brushing past this most terrifying opponent, the rapid attack of the Qing army has survived, and there is no enemy in front of him. He galloped forward, turned his head while running, and took a look Underneath, the eyes are almost bleeding!
There are less than 40 chasseurs who can still follow him!

The two squadrons were wiped out like this!

The most frightening thing is that after a lightning-fast impact inflicted huge damage on the Chasseurs, the Qing Army Lancers had no intention of stopping. They galloped 200 meters and immediately turned their horses' heads and reorganized their formation. , leveled the spear, started to run in small steps again, slowly increased speed, and rushed towards Cao Jun's troops. They were determined to wipe out this chasing cavalry who had humiliated them so much here!

All the hunters' eyes were on Cao Jun.

Enduring the severe pain, Cao Jun moved his right hand, which was knocked almost unconscious by Tie Guduo, and said with a wry smile, "Fight to the end... Please firmly remember the dignity of a soldier. There is no Heluo New Army who is a prisoner!"

There was a trace of sadness on the faces of all the chasseurs, and even more pride.Yes, since the establishment of the Heluo New Army, from Liaodong to Guangxi, there has never been a coward who surrendered to the enemy. I don’t know if there will be any in the future. Anyway, this shameful precedent will never start from them!Everyone let out a roar: "Never retreat!!!"

The howling sound of the shells overwhelmed the roar of the chasseurs. Rows of arm-length shells flew over the vast plain, flew over the village destroyed by the war, and smashed hard on the ground. It came out, tore the ground, rushed up, shrapnel, sand and stone shot around at an explosive speed, and immediately cut down many Qing cavalry.Cao Jun was stunned: "Artillery? Is it our artillery?"

Nonsense, of course their artillery!More than a dozen 85mm howitzers fired fiercely at the Qing army at a distance of three miles. Amid the sound of rumbling guns, thousands of cavalrymen in black clothes flooded the plain like a black tide, submerged the river, and rolled forward unstoppably. Thousands of sabers pointed diagonally at the sky , shining with a chilling bloodthirsty light, most of the knights on horseback painted their faces colorfully with lime juice, which was extremely terrifying, coupled with the indissoluble murderous aura on their bodies, it made them look like Like a bunch of demons from hell!
It's the Huaisi cavalry!
After two months of reorganization and training, this miscellaneous army with its own dry food on the battlefield has become a vigorous and strong elite. Brought out of the womb, what they lack is better equipment, stricter discipline, and more effective overall training. During the period of training, they have made up for these shortcomings, and they have even been able to play a relatively primitive but absolute game. Effective gun cavalry coordinated operations!The morale of the whole army was high and full of confidence. They were not afraid of the prestige of "Jurchen is full of invincibility" accumulated by the Qing army in countless victories. The first and only myth in history that the South unified the North, they also longed to meet another character like Zhu Yuanzhang, who would lead them to regain the glory of their fathers.Huaisi boys should die on horseback, dying of old age and sickness is a great shame to them!Now this group of ghosts who have been silent for nearly 200 years has been awakened, and the invaders who rushed into the territory laid down by their fathers with blood and flesh made a terrible roar.The roar and rumbling horseshoes of the Huaisi cavalry charged even overwhelmed the loud noise of the shell explosion. The ground was trembling, and the clouds burst amidst their howling. At this moment, the sky was darkened!

The Qing army was horrified, and decisively gave up the siege of Cao Jun, and rushed towards the Huaisi cavalry in formation.The black tide and the red tide collided on the great plain, setting off a turbulent wave, and the aftermath quickly swept across the entire battlefield.On the huge plain, there are figures of cavalry roaring and charging everywhere, and there are rolling cold lights, sharp arrows piercing through, and splashing blood foam everywhere.Two strong teams, one from Baishan Heishui, one from the flooded Huaisi area, the same poor and stubborn people, the same fierce folk customs; one team followed Nurhachi and Huang Taiji through thousands of battles, with few defeats, and one team followed Zhu Yuanzhang to win the battle. They have established a glorious dynasty, both of which have the same glorious history and glorious tradition. When these two powerful forces meet, a cavalry battle of sparks hitting the earth will naturally break out!

Cao Jun and his two remaining squadrons of the Chasseurs were left alone, dumbfounded as they watched the Huaisi cavalry and the Qing army roaring and colliding like two beasts completely enraged by each other. The picture like this makes everyone's heart agitated and their blood is surging. The Huaisi cavalry's aggressive style of fighting, once they match up, they must press down on the opponent until they completely defeat the opponent, opened their eyes. It was the first time that the cavalrymen of the Heluo New Army knew that they could fight with such arrogance and reckless publicity in battles, having become accustomed to fighting under extremely strict discipline.Both squadron leaders muttered to themselves: "These Huaisi barbarians are so strong...these Huaisi barbarians are really strong..."

Cao Jun smiled: "They must be overwhelmed, right? That's right, they have been suppressed for 200 years, and finally have the opportunity to show their talents. If it were me, I would also pour all my birdishness and brains on Jiannu! "

While talking and joking, the ground shook again. 88 cavalrymen wearing black armor and holding long spears galloped side by side, galloping forward in a mighty way. The main force of the infantry rolling forward at a pace of [-] steps per minute... When Cao Jun attracted the firepower of the Qing cavalry, the main force of Xue Siming's army had already arrived.

The troops following up by the Qing army also arrived, and they were led by Jierhalang himself.Now that the inlaid red flag is under the command of Jierhalang himself, how could he not respond when thousands of cavalry were battered?Immediately led the main force with the red flag inlaid to kill.As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, the famous general of the Qing army frowned when he saw the Qing army and the Huaisi cavalry fighting inextricably.He couldn't fail to see that the fighting style of the Huaisi cavalry was completely different from that of the Heluo New Army. Compared with cavalry, it is far behind.But just such a cavalry was evenly matched with his own three thousand cavalry, and even faintly gained the upper hand!He remained calm, but a deep worry flashed in his heart: Didn't it mean that Da Ming was exhausted?Why are there still so many fierce and elite soldiers?Why are there still hundreds of thousands of troops willing to fight to the death for it?
Jialaerzhen Dulun was soaked in blood, left the battlefield panting heavily, galloped over and knelt in front of Jierhalang's horse, and said: "My lord, the last general is incompetent. He failed to make a quick decision to destroy the opponent and take the small house." Village! But this Ming army’s ability is just like that, please give the last general five hundred fine horses, and the last general will definitely cut off the Ming army’s flag and come to meet with the head of the Ming army commander!”

Ji Erhalang said in a low voice, "There is no chance, let's withdraw."

Du Lun stared wide-eyed: "Withdraw? Fifth Lord, you can't withdraw! The last general lost six or seven hundred lives here, six or seven hundred lives!"

Jierhalang felt a pain in his heart again... Six or seven hundred Manchurian warriors were gone like this. The Qing Dynasty could afford to fight such vile battles a few times!He understood Du Lun's feelings very well. Any general would be red-eyed when his troops suffered such heavy casualties, and he was no exception if he desperately wanted to kill his opponent.But he was not dazzled by hatred, raised his whip and pointed to the south: "The main force of Heluo's new army has arrived, we have no chance, let's withdraw!"

Du Lun picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by Jierhalang, just in time to see the black tide flowing over the small river only one mile away from Xiaofang Village. When the clumps of horses and bayonets moved, it seemed It is the steel jungle that moves.His complexion turned blue and white, his teeth were gritted, and he raised his head to the sky and let out a roar like a wounded beast!

In fact, without Jierhalang's order, when he saw the Lancers of the Heluo New Army appearing in his field of vision, the Qing army, which was fighting bloody with the Huaisi cavalry, knew that they could not win.Although the Huaisi cavalry were fierce, they were not afraid. Their greatness was that they exchanged a knife for a gun, a life for a life, and defeated their opponents with the greatest determination and courage.But against the Lancers of the Shangheluo New Army, they had nothing to do. It didn't feel like they were fighting an army at all, but a cold and formidable steel machine. This kind of power was not theirs. Can resist!
Get out...Continuing to fight will only make them pay a heavier price...

The trumpet for withdrawal sounded, and the Qing cavalry retreated like an ebbing tide. In this outpost battle, the Ming army won!
