The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 265 Fierce Battle in the Heavy Rain

Moreover, such a scene is not an exception!

The cavalry of the Qing army rushed towards the defense line of the Restoration Army like a tide, but the scene that followed was like a wave meeting a flood embankment.

No matter how rough the waves were, they disappeared behind the flood discharge embankment in the blink of an eye.

One after another, the Qing soldiers came rushing forward, and then all fell into the trenches of the Restoration Army.

People turned on their backs, bones and tendons were broken!
I don't know how many cavalrymen of the Qing army fell to their deathbed!
Seeing this scene, the follow-up Qing army showed surprise, but they were all veterans, so they did not panic in the slightest.

When they crossed the parapet, they tried their best to let the horses jump high and sway far away, trying to jump over the pitiful ditch.

The jumping ability of the war horse is still very good!

If the cavalry of the Qing army had been prepared for a long time, the horses could jump over the two-foot-wide trench.

A cavalryman of the Qing army manipulated the horse and leaped high skillfully.

The strong muscles on the horse's body were exceptionally conspicuous, and the drizzle from the sky wet the horse's mane, making the horse look even more handsome.

The war horse jumped over the ditch without accident and landed on the ground on the other side of the ditch.

It's just that the pride on the face of the Qing army on horseback was just revealed, and with a click, the forelegs of the horse fell into the horse trap dug in advance by the Liberation Army.

Then, driven by the terrifying inertia, with a click, the horse's forelimbs snapped off, exposing the bloody white bones.

"what……"

The cavalry of the Qing army on horseback let out a scream, and then fell to the ground completely, completely in a daze from being thrown.

However, this scene is also not an exception. One or two hundred Qing cavalry cavalry jumped over the ditch, and then fell into the horse pit.

The war horse neighed rhythmically, and the cavalrymen on the horses were also thrown off, lying on the ground and screaming.

Seeing this scene, a large number of Qing troops in the back showed horror!

Subconsciously stopped the horse and slowed down.

At this moment, a group of soldiers of the Qing army watched helplessly, and the recovery army who was evacuating stopped, then turned around and killed them back.

These Liberation Army soldiers held muskets in their hands, and their sharp bayonets were sharp and murderous!
"kill!"

"Kill the prisoner!"

"Kill the traitor!"

"..."

Amidst the shouts of killing, the Liberation Army launched a charge. Under the counterattack of the Liberation Army, those Qing soldiers who fell on the horse trap and were thrown in the trench were killed one by one.

Facing the Liberation Army rushing up to fight hand-to-hand with loaded muskets, the Qing Army's response seemed quite powerless.

Amidst the crisp gunshots, a large number of Qing troops were shot dead in the face!
The follow-up Qing army was still rushing forward and backward to the trench, but their speed subconsciously slowed down.

After climbing over the parapet, enter the ditch, and then climb up from the ditch.

In any case, the Qing army did not dare to charge anymore!
Otherwise, those traps will be able to kill them!
It's just that these Qing soldiers were just about to climb out of the trench when they met a bright bayonet.

With a puff, the bayonet pierced the Qing soldier's head, pierced through the eye sockets, and pierced out from the back of the head.

The front line of the battle between the two sides has become a Shura field!

The two soldiers fought fiercely, and the Liberation Army condescendingly assassinated the Qing army in the trench.

It didn't take long for the trench to be full of human and horse corpses, as well as wounded soldiers of the Qing army.

The blood gathered into a stream and flowed everywhere!

A large number of wounded Qing soldiers screamed in the trenches!

A section of the ditch was even filled with corpses. The cavalry of the Qing army jumped over the parapet, and the horses stepped on the corpses in the ditch and rushed towards the Liberation Army in front of them.

Some wounded soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were trampled by war horses, and the screams rang out hysterically!

The cavalry walked through the trench and came to the flat ground, but due to the existence of the horse trap, the cavalry of the Qing army still couldn't run.

"kill!"

Soldiers on both sides strangled each other fiercely.

At this time, the cavalry has no advantage at all.

The next battle will be a confrontation between infantry.

However, in the infantry confrontation, the Liberation Army clearly had the upper hand.

In terms of physical fitness, both sides are almost the same!

The Restoration Army is a veteran who has been trained intensively for a long time, but this time the Restoration Army's cavalry against the Qing Army are almost all elites who have just come off the battlefield.

In terms of combat skills and experience, the Qing army actually had the upper hand.

Because most of the recovery army mobilized by Zhu Hongyu this time are recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time.

No matter how well the recruits are trained, the difference in experience between the veterans and the veterans on the battlefield is not that big.

However, in this battle, the Liberation Army has an advantage in equipment!

In order to achieve the effect of the rush, the Qing army mobilized all light cavalry this time.

Basically, there is no armor, but the Liberation Army has at least one breastplate!
Those heavy armored infantry are even more well armored!

There is a big gap between the equipment of the two sides, so one can imagine what kind of scene it will be when fighting.

It is very similar to the fact that the Qing army used its heavy armor advantage to bully the unarmored Ming army guards.

The two sides strangled fiercely, and a famous Qing soldier dismounted and entered the infantry battle, and the two sides fought fiercely together.

People kept falling down, and the ground was stained red with blood!
The artillery group of the Liberation Army is still firing, the rain is getting heavier, and the explosion rate of the flowering bombs has dropped significantly.

The artillery of the Liberation Army began to use shotgun shells!

Dense shells shot at the Qing cavalry crowded in front of the parapet.

Amidst the rumble of shelling, the cavalry and horses of the Qing army fell to the ground in pieces like they were cutting wheat.

A soldier of the Qing army had his arm cut off by a shotgun, and he lay on the ground clutching his broken arm and howling.

Remnants of limbs and broken arms were all over the ground, blood and rain mixed together, turning the soil on the ground into bloody mud.

A body gradually loses temperature and becomes cold and stiff...

……

Shang Zhixiao looked at the tragic battle ahead, his face was extremely gloomy.

"We can't fight like this anymore, our Qing cavalry can't all be wasted in infantry battles, order the front line to withdraw!"

The Qing army participating in the battle this time were all cavalry, and they were all elite cavalry from the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

It is definitely not a wise choice to exchange lives with cavalry and infantry!

Not to mention that the Qing army is being suppressed and beaten now, the casualties are obviously much more than those of the Liberation Army.

The ratio of casualties between the two sides has even reached an exaggerated five to one, or even more.

This is the gap between armored soldiers and unarmored soldiers on the battlefield of cold weapons!
This is the casualty ratio when the soldiers of the Qing army are all experienced veterans, while most of the soldiers of the recovery army are recruits.

If the soldiers of the Restoration Army were also veterans, the ratio of casualties would only be more exaggerated, and even a ten to one result would not be impossible.

But even so, Shang Zhixiao was dying of heartache.

Not to mention five to one, even if one can be exchanged for one, the Qing army will suffer a blood loss.

Because the training cost of cavalry and infantry is not the same thing at all.

The fighting on the battlefield became more intense, the corpses of the Qing army almost filled the trenches, and the rain in the sky became heavier and heavier.

The rain covered the sky, and the soft soil under my feet became slippery!

If you step on it, you will slip and fall if you are not careful.

At this moment, the ear-piercing sound of gold clanging sounded on the battlefield, and the cavalry of the Qing army looked back one after another, and then quickly retreated according to the military order.
