"This, is this still the Eight Banners soldier? It was fine during the training, why not now."

In Daguan Town, Prince An Yue Le, who was standing on a high ground on horseback to watch the battle, trembled violently and shouted silently from the bottom of his heart.

When the cavalry from both sides attacked, Yue Le, who was watching from a high place, immediately knew something was wrong.As soon as his Eight Banners cavalry team rushed up, the team actually dispersed, and even scattered a little!

Some Eight Banners soldiers were so excited that they drove at full speed as soon as they came up, and they didn't even think about the fatigue of the horses.Some Eight Banners soldiers were obviously stealing and playing tricks. They swung their spears fiercely, but the horses under their crotches were walking at the speed of walking in the city of Beijing.Some of them honestly followed the method during training, driving the horses to go fast, then trot, and finally speed up. But in this way, the team immediately dispersed.

The cavalry formation, which was supposed to be a bit dense, ran into a large stall in one fell swoop. They obviously had a numerical advantage, but they rushed to the forefront and first encountered the Wu Army Lancers with only one or two hundred cavalry.

They are "fourteen walls" composed of seven hundred riders. Although they began to disperse after running for a certain distance, this density, this formation, and the momentum of brothers being united and never turning back are better than the Eight Banners soldiers scattered into a stall. Too much.

Two touches, there is no suspense at all.At least 150 of the one or two hundred riders who rushed to the front were stabbed off their horses by long bamboo spears!It's not good to be stabbed off by the enemy on the battlefield. Even if their cloth armor is strong enough to block the opponent's spearhead, there are still two hells, a heavy fall and a horse's hoof trampling.

If you don't die, you will be seriously injured!
Seeing that the comrades who were rushing to the front had all been knocked off their horses, those slickers who deliberately lagged behind were even less motivated to hurry up. Some people started to turn their horses around and prepared to run away.

At the same time, Wu Bing's attack continued.

In the first collision just now, the first of the "two walls" of Wu Jun's cavalry had been scattered, but the second was still intact.

So after completing the attack, the Wu army cavalry dispersed to both sides, and gave up the passage of the charge to the second "wall" behind them, allowing them to deal a heavy blow to the chaotic Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing army!
That pro's position was excellent, even if the second column of Wu Jun's cavalry hit him, his body was still intact, but his spirit suffered great trauma.

Because he witnessed the Eight Banners Celestial Soldiers being stabbed off their horses easily by the enemy with a bamboo pole, and they stabbed three or four hundred times in two strokes. If there is a third wave, it will be his turn.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Wu Sangui is here, hurry up!"

The pro looked up, and saw about three to five li away in the distance, a handsome flag with the word "Wu" was leading a large group of infantry towards him, and the speed was very fast, obviously running forward.

On such a hot day, wearing airtight armor, carrying dry food, water bags, weapons and other miscellaneous things, and running. This must be Wu Sangui who came back to supervise the battle in person!
No, let's retreat first!
Thinking of this, the relative didn't dare to fight anymore, so he hurriedly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and retreated to the mountains and forests to the east
How is this possible? Why did the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers lose so simply?

Prince An Yue Le, who witnessed this vanguard battle at Daguan Town in the southeast of the battlefield (the description of the terrain was wrong before), was completely stunned.Of course he knew that Wu Sangui's soldiers were very powerful, and that the soldiers of the Eight Banners had neglected training all these years, and they were not as good as before, but he never thought that the biggest problem with the soldiers of the Eight Banners was not that they couldn't keep up with the training, but that they were afraid of death.
If the Eight Banners soldiers fighting against Wu Sangui's cavalry were braver and suffered [-]% at most [-]% casualties to drag the enemy into hand-to-hand combat and entangle the cavalry of both sides, then Yue Le could continue to send more Eight Banners vests to join in. .Today, he has more than [-] cavalry in the Daguan Town area, and he can completely crush the enemy with his numerical advantage!
In fact, the [-] cavalrymen belonging to the left wing of the Central Army of the Eight Banners New Army have also completed their assembly at this moment, and are on standby in the north of Daguan Town under the leadership of Fei Yanggu - Yue Le's original plan was to let the assembly be completed first The right-wing cavalry to control the wilderness northwest of Daguan Town, and the left-wing cavalry led by Fei Yanggu to harass the more than [-] Wu army infantry who were advancing on foot.

However, this plan can be changed according to changes in the battlefield situation.

Thinking that he still had [-] cavalry available, Yue Le yelled: "Send the order, let Deputy Fei lead the cavalry to attack!"

"Whoo!"

A Geshha who had been riding on a horse waiting to deliver the order yelled, and immediately flew out of Daguan Town.

Fei Yanggu was quite astute. When Yue Le's order came to him, he had already organized the [-] cavalry temporarily under his command into eight groups according to the colors of the flags, so he led them without a moment's delay. They rushed towards the wild land northwest of Daguan Town.

At this time, Ma Bao, the general under Wu Sangui, was commanding his Bamboo Spear Cavalry to chase and kill the retreating Eight Banners soldiers. In fact, he was as shocked as Yue Le at this time—he never thought that after only one charge, he sent The [-] cavalrymen defeated the [-]-hundred-hundred Eight Banners soldiers in their vests.

It's too easy to win, right?
Are these the real Eight Banners?Did Yue Le lure the enemy by letting the slaves wear the cloth masks of the Eight Banners soldiers?

When Ma Bao was feeling uneasy, [-] cavalry led by Fei Yanggu came up.But at this time, the dusk was deep, the sky was dark, and the visibility on the battlefield was very poor, so Ma Bao couldn't see how many Eight Banners soldiers had come up. He saw dust flying in the direction of Daguan Town in the distance, so he quickly ordered Mingjin to throw them out. The Lancers who were chasing the enemy took it back.

On the other hand, Fei Yanggu gathered the defeated Eight Banners soldiers and ordered them to find a team with the same color of the flag to join him, while leading his troops to follow behind Ma Bao without any haste.

This Daguan Town is actually a town built along a northeast-southwest mountain forest. To the northwest of the town is an open area, and to the north of this open area, the terrain quickly narrows to less than five miles.

However, Yue Le did not place his troops in that narrow area to block the road. Instead, he followed the mountain and started from Daguan Town to the northeast, pulling out a frontage six or seven miles wide, facing the The open land in the northwest of Daguan Town (referring to the town itself).

Such an array can not only occupy favorable terrain, but also ensure that the back road will not be easily copied by the tens of thousands of Wu soldiers driving from Nanxi Town.

But Yue Le didn't intend to allow the opponent to set up the formation in this open space comfortably, so the cavalry led by Fei Yanggu followed the retreating Ma Bao's troops and entered the open area.

At the same time, a group of infantrymen from the Wu army who came in a hurry also entered this open area.Gao Dejie, the commander-in-chief under Wu Sangui, led the team. Seeing that Ma Bao's cavalry was retreating and seemed to be being chased by the Eight Banners soldiers, he did not hesitate to order 2000 people from the No. [-] Battalion and the No. [-] Battalion to form a large hollow phalanx.

Using hollow phalanxes to meet cavalry is not unique to Western armies. It is also very popular in China. The infantry guards all sides with long spears, bows and arrows, shotguns, and small cannons.

But different from the Western hollow array, there are four "doors" on the four corners of the Chinese-style hollow array, that is, this part of the array can be opened and closed at any time. channel appeared.

However, Ma Bao did not choose to retreat into the phalanx. Instead, he detoured from the right side of the phalanx and retreated to the southwest - about half of his cavalry had run out of bamboo spears and had to go back to replenish.However, several cavalry leaders under Fei Yanggu's command thought that they had won the battle, and they were eager to make contributions. They even said to themselves that they led the cavalry under their hands to chase Ma Bao's cavalry, and they wanted to win from the top. Bypass on the right side of the phalanx.

Such a miraculous operation can make the battle-tested Gao Dejie look stupid—because Ma Bao’s cavalry circled around Gao Dejie’s infantry phalanx. Will take guns to bombard allies.But why did this group of Eight Banners soldiers follow so stupidly?Will they fight?Who taught this craft?

"Right wing. Fire!"

It didn't take long for Gao Dejie to be stupid, he immediately reacted and gave an order loudly.

"Boom! Boom!"

The two "small red cannons" weighing several hundred kilograms on the right wing of the phalanx where Gao Dejie was located had already been loaded with iron sand bombs, and immediately aimed at the Eight Banners soldiers who were chasing the enemy vigorously. Two shots were fired.Iron sand spewed out of the gun's muzzle, sweeping into a cavalry of five hundred Red Banner cavalrymen. Although the cavalry was not very dense, there were still ten or eight Eight Banners soldiers who were bloodied by the iron sand. He screamed and fell off his horse.Their horses were either killed or wounded by iron sand bullets, and they screamed terribly.During this round of Eight Banners cavalry, people were crying and horses neighing, and it became a mess.

"Boom, boom, boom"

After the sound of the cannon, the shotgun fired again!

The proportion of Wu Bing's shotguns is not as high as that of the Eight Banners soldiers, but there are still [-] to [-] percent. The four battalions under Gao Dejie each have [-] shotguns. Now the two battalions on the right are firing at the same time. Hundreds of shotguns.

Although 34 shotguns are not many, Wu Jun's shotgun soldiers are all veterans, and their marksmanship is relatively accurate, and the two sides are also close to each other. A burst of shotguns shot past, and another [-] people were knocked down!
This red-flag cavalry team composed of [-] cavalry was first shot twice (iron sand bullets), and then was swept away by shotguns. Almost [-]% of the soldiers disappeared like this!
The soldiers on both sides were shocked now, there are dozens of fake "true Jianyi"!

At the time of the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, if dozens of "true Jianyi" heads could be cut off in one battle, it would be a great victory.How is it so easy now?Gao Dejie and his subordinates couldn't believe it—could it be that he has been "exchanging rebellion experience and improving rebellion technology" in Yunnan these years, so he has become more powerful?
No, have to try again!
"Quick, quick charge and ammunition, keep fighting!"

Gao Dejie immediately yelled, and those shotgunners and gunners were all veterans. They were astonished as they were, and they didn't stop charging the ammunition.So as soon as Gao Dejie's shout fell, the sound of cannons and guns rang out again.

But the children and grandchildren of the "True Jianyi" hadn't reacted from the shock, and they were shot again, and as usual, dozens of people were shot and fell off their horses.Now the rest of the people finally realized that something was wrong, whoever took the lead exclaimed "Run", the four hundred or so riders scattered like birds and beasts, and fled in all directions, leaving behind corpses on the ground - life-saving is the most important thing, at the same time Just throw away the corpse of the robe!
And when they ran, they collided with hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers of Xianglan Banner behind them, and the eight or nine hundred Eight Banners heavenly soldiers became a mess like this.

The pro who had already ran once before had to prepare for a "second run" at this time. His "first run" failed and was blocked by the cavalry led by Fei Yanggu, but he was not beheaded, but was incorporated into the Those with the same flag color belonged to the cavalry with blue flags on the left wing of the Central Army of the Eight Banners New Army.However, he had experienced another failure before, and now he was even more careful. He followed the team all the time, and when he heard the gunfire in front of him, he stopped his horse and prepared to run again.But it was just preparation, and he didn't run right away, because the white flag cavalry led by Fei Yanggu was right behind him.

He doesn't want to get his head chopped off by that big lord as a typical example of fleeing.
Just when he was about to run away, the familiar shout came again!
"Qingtian is dead, Zhoutian should be established, and the land will be divided, and the world will be safe"

The pro hurriedly stepped on the stirrups and stood up, stretched his neck and looked around for a while towards the place where the slogan came from. At this time, the sky was getting darker and the visibility was extremely low. He could only vaguely see a group of cavalry approaching his side.

"Wu Sangui is here, run!"

I don't know which one?Another voice!

As a result, the [-] or [-] cavalrymen who were already in a panic turned around and ran like crazy, and behind them, Wu Bing's cavalrymen also launched an attack at the same time!
Driven by the bamboo spear cavalry of the Wu army, these flustered Eight Banners soldiers ran into the Zhengbai Banner cavalry led by Fei Yanggu like crazy.

This time Fei Yanggu was in the same boat, even if he was willing to fight to the death, the white flag cavalry under him would not do it, they all followed the crowd, and everyone retreated to the mountains and forests to the east.

"We lost, we lost, why did we lose again? Zongzhen, it's not good, those Eight Banners soldiers are coming to us!"

At the foot of the Mo Family Cemetery, Wang Zhongxiao was sitting on a ponytail, waving a fan, drinking wine and having dinner with Dai Zi, when he suddenly heard the cry of Wang Leiyong, who was holding the rank of general in the township, under his hand. voice.

Dai Zi was already a little restless, but now he looked at Wang Zhongxiao with a panicked expression.

Wang Zhongxiao didn't panic at all, and yelled loudly: "Prepare for war, don't eat for prepare for war, there is going to be a war, set up shotguns and long spears for me!"

"Whoo!"

The people under him were also quite shocked. They all shouted "嗻" loudly, and then lowered their heads to grab two bites of dinner, and then slowly picked up their long guns and shotguns and went to the battle.

Wang Zhongxiao's task today is to guard Dai Zi and the dozens of Weiyuan generals' cannons, and in order to "protect the cannons against the enemy", he deliberately chose a mountain col that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordered people to set up cannons at the entrance of the col. A horse-rejection array was set up, side cards were placed, and the guards were strictly guarded.

As for the artillery positions being too far away from the battlefield, it doesn't matter, as long as you can hear the sound!

Besides, those general Weiyuan cannons are so heavy that they can only be used to attack cities and bombard enemies who don't like sports, such as that Galdan Wu Sangui who likes Butuo City, who is that? "Wu Paopao" likes sports very much, how can General Weiyuan beat him?
Moreover, if the artillery formation is too far forward, the cannons will be snatched away by the cavalry of the Wu army.Those General Weiyuan cannons are curved-firing cannons, and they cannot fire shotguns. If they encounter an enemy charging directly at them, they will just stare blankly.

Not to mention, Dai Zi is a "good boy" who listens to persuasion. After hearing Wang Zhongxiao's words, he won't rush in. An Anxin huddled with him in the col to eat and drink, and he was quite happy.

But no matter how well Wang Zhongxiao could hide, he couldn't hold back the group of Eight Banners soldiers who were in a hurry to lure Wu Sangui's cavalry over!

Hearing the sound of horseshoes and shouts getting closer, Dai Zi was already in a panic, and kept shouting in Shaoxing dialect: "Shikai save me, Shikai save me!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother Wen Kai is not afraid." Wang Zhongxiao took out his flintlock pistol and began to reload it as he spoke—it was too late, so he shot Dai Zi to death with this gun!
Dai Zi saw that Wang Zhongxiao was just fiddling with a small pistol, and was also a little strange: "Brother Shikai, what is your short pistol good for?"

Shooting you is enough. Wang Zhongxiao held back his words, and changed his words: "Brother Wen Kai, why are you still standing there? Go and fire!"

"Open, fire? Where are you going?" Dai Zi was stunned. His General Weiyuan cannon is powerful, but it is not very convenient to use. It is okay to hit fixed targets. If you want to hit moving targets, you have to ambush first, and then wait The enemy can only fire if he moves up or is drawn over.There is no target now, isn't this random firing exposed?
"Fight far away." Wang Zhongxiao ordered, "Fight as far as you can! Of course, you have to fight where the rebels are coming!"

"Isn't this fighting?" Dai Zi has not forgotten his duty at this time, no wonder he went to Ninggu Tower in history.

"Why is it random fighting?" Wang Zhongxiao glared at Dai Zi, "This is called bluffing. Where there are cannons, there must be a main force! As long as the rebels don't come to us, won't we be safe? At this moment, life-saving is the most important thing!"

"But there aren't many explosive bombs!" Dai Zi said, "If we lose all of them, what will we do when the prince wants us to bombard the enemy camp?"

Wang Zhongxiao frowned, "Wen Kai, what are you thinking? In the current situation, it seems that we are not going to win! How can there be a chance to bombard the enemy camp? If you have such thoughts, you should think about it later. How to run!"

"Ah" Dai Zi was startled, "Is this going to be defeated?"

Wang Zhongxiao waved his hands: "Go, go, don't let those Eight Banners soldiers lure the rebels to us! Otherwise, we will be loyal!"

"Okay, I'll go right away"
