The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 661
Of course, while managing the defense line, Obai has also been paying attention to the specific movements of Daming and Wu Sangui in the Huguang battle!
The weight of the current Huguang battle is no worse than the weight of the Jiangnan decisive battle that took place last year.

A decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River will change the world's offense and defense!

The Manchu Qing lost its strategic initiative!
So much so that Wu Sangui and Daming became bigger!
And this decisive battle in Huguang will also determine the overall situation in the pass.

Determine the future of the world, whether it is the struggle between Da Ming and Wu Sangui, or whether the Da Ming family is the only one.

And the situation that Man Qing most wanted to see was undoubtedly the first one!
For the Qing Dynasty, the best result is that Daming suffered a heavy loss in the Huguang decisive battle, and Wu Sangui also won miserably.

Only if the two sides are both defeated, can the Qing Dynasty have the possibility of returning to the pass!
……

Huguang!

As Wu Yingqi woke up from a coma, the main force of Guan Ning's army continued to move south.

The mighty cavalry of the Guanning Army are constantly marching towards Huguang!

He Wenxiu also personally commanded the Ming army to go north.

As time passed, the forwards of the Ming army had made initial contact with the Guan Ning army.

The cavalry of both sides galloped across the wide battlefield!

The main forces of both sides are constantly coming towards the battlefield!

Both Daming and Wu Sangui were unanimously planning to decide the outcome of this battle through such a field battle.

Wu Sangui rode on horseback and led a huge cavalry group southward.

Countless war horses almost completely cover the entire battlefield.

Finally, the sentry cavalry of the two sides began to fight first.

On the vast plain in the north of the Yangtze River, countless cavalry were charging and shooting.

The scimitar swept across the body, and blood flowers bloomed one after another.

Countless corpses fell to the ground and were trampled into flesh by countless war horses, blood staining the ground red.

Gradually, with the confrontation of sentry cavalry, the forwards of both sides also arrived on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Ming army quickly arrayed and adjusted their formation on the battlefield, and then prepared to launch a wall cavalry charge against the cavalry of the Guanning Army in front of them.

If you want to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, on the eve of this decisive battle, give Guan Ning's army a blow!
Accompanied by the piercing sound of copper whistles, the formation of the Ming army was quickly adjusted.

A very tight array is arranged between each other!
The distance between people and horses is almost constant, and countless hands form a neat array.

Accompanied by the sound of the charging horn, the cavalry array of the Ming army pressed forward neatly like a moving wall!

On the battlefield, the crimson armor of the Ming army formed an array and charged forward, like surging red flames.

Dazzling and unstoppable!

Facing the roaring charge of the Ming army, the cavalry of the Guan Ning army would not be foolish to face it head-on.

The cavalry on both sides moved towards each other, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

The horseshoe trampled on the ground and made a roar, and even the cavalry on both sides could see each other's face...

Just when the cavalry of the two sides were about to confront each other, the cavalry formation of the Guan Ning Army changed.

Like a wave that encountered a reef, it diverted to both sides.

I want to bypass the front where the cavalry of the Ming army has the strongest impact.

collapse!Bumble!

Crash!
During this process, the bowstring chattered continuously.

Arrows formed a dense rain of arrows, falling towards the heads of the Ming army cavalry.

The cavalry of the Guanning Army are very good at riding and shooting!
It was just the moment when the two sides passed each other, those cavalrymen of the Guan Ning Army could shoot three to five arrows on average.

The continuous flying of the arrows was really as dense as rain.

ding ding dong...

The arrowhead of the arrow hit the armor of the Ming army, sparking a little spark.

But arrows capable of piercing armor are only a minority!
Under the dense rain of arrows, the Ming army also suffered a lot of casualties.

The unarmored horses of the cavalrymen of the Ming army were shot by arrows. They went mad with pain and neighed, knocking off the horse's owner.

And on such a battlefield, once a person falls off the horse, it is not much different from being dead!
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers who fell from the horse will be trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves.

In the first contact between the two sides, the Ming army suffered a small loss.

The cavalry commander quickly ordered his own cavalry to adjust their strategy, and the formation changed rapidly.

The original strict wall array spread out in an instant, turning into skirmish lines in twos and threes.

The cavalry of the Ming army also put away the long spears used for charging, and took out muskets and crossbows.

Due to riding problems in the Ming army, the usage rate of crossbows is much higher than that of bows.

After all, the threshold for using a crossbow is much lower than that of a bow!
Crossbowmen are much easier to train than archers!
The battle situation on the battlefield turned into a melee in an instant. Countless horses galloped past, trampled by their hooves, and trampled the corpses into flesh.

Blood and fire seemed to be burning!

The cavalry battle between the two sides lasted for half a day, regardless of the outcome. After the main forces of both sides arrived, they retreated.

The entire battlefield was covered with flags, and groups of soldiers in armor stood in formation.

Confronting each other, the atmosphere is very dignified!

Wu Sangui's banner appeared on the front line of the battlefield, followed by cheers from the Guan Ning Army.

On Daming's side, He Wenxiu also ordered people to play the banner of his commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition, and the Ming army lined up in strict order to counter the provocation of the Guan Ning army with a loud shout.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"..."

Although the atmosphere was tense, the two sides did not directly fight.

The reason is simple, the main forces of both sides have traveled long distances, and their physical strength and morale have been exhausted a bit.

Moreover, such a large-scale decisive battle cannot be won in a short time.

It is inevitable that it will take ten days and a half months, or even longer.

After such a long and fierce battle, the two sides together piled up 30 to [-] people on the battlefield, and there must be no camp to settle down.

Before the decisive battle begins, the first thing both sides must do is to set up camp.

Before the camp is established, a decisive battle cannot break out!
The camps of the two sides are not far apart, with only a few miles between them, facing each other swayingly.

Overnight, camps appeared on the ground.

In the sky above the tents, countless banners fluttered!
It was just dawn on the second day, and the main infantry forces of both sides began to walk out of the camp, forming an array to launch an attack.

The decisive battle officially broke out!

……

A field artillery of different calibers was pulled by the artillery cart and quickly moved towards the battlefield.

The infantry of the Ming army began to check the weapons in their hands, preparing to go into battle at any time.

Even if it was a decisive battle, the cavalry from both sides would be the first to fight.

The cavalry kept galloping on the battlefield, riding and shooting, covering the battlefield, trying to gain more strategic initiative for their side.

Judging from the overall situation, the Ming army was at a disadvantage in the cavalry confrontation before this decisive battle.

Although it wasn't too much of a disadvantage, it was also a fact that the cavalry of the Ming army was suppressed by the cavalry of the Guan Ning army.

Guan Ningjun's advantage in riding and shooting is really too great!
