The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

"Damn it, isn't this guy named Yang a hedgehog?"

Seeing the Tai army marching alternately, with the rear army covering the front army, and two thousand more cavalry patrolling on the side, He Yilong couldn't help but stare.

If we go forward ten years, he will really lead six or seven thousand people to ride up and be reckless.Now I really know the pros and cons and don't dare to mess around.

Ma Shou responded: "Go back, we cannot defeat more than 2 troops with just a few thousand cavalry."

Although He Yilong was very reluctant, he could only retreat with the rogue cavalry.

in the afternoon.

Yang Heqing and Zhang Guying finally led two brigades to the southern suburbs of Hefei City, four or five miles away from the temporary camp of the rogue infantry army.

In front of the rogue infantry formation, He Yilong was instigating hard.

"We can't let them set up camp, otherwise it won't be easy for them to say anything. Our troops are more than three times theirs. Surrounded from three sides and swarmed up, the man surnamed Yang will definitely care about his head rather than his back.

When his flaw was exposed, Er and Lao Ma led the cavalry to rush in and kill them. They would definitely defeat the Yi army in one fell swoop! "

Except for Yi Dougu, who had been killed by He Yilong before, the cavalryman Li He, the other small leaders were very moved after hearing this.

He Jin frowned and said, "The Yi army is here to attack Hefei. Wouldn't it be better for us to wait for them to attack?"

"That's even better!" He Yilong was angry in his heart and did not give He Jin face in front of everyone. "They have marched for dozens of miles today and they are tired. If you don't take advantage of this time to fight, you have to wait for them to rest." Okay, come on guys, what’s the point of this?!”

Liu Xiyao said: "I also think we should start fighting at this time."

Ma Shou responded: "If we don't fight now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find better opportunities later."

Lin Chengcheng knew that his opinion was not important anymore, so he simply sided with He Yilong and said with a smile: "Then let's fight."

So several people began to line up their troops. According to what He Yilong said, the infantry attacked the Yi army in three ways.

He Yilong and Ma Shouying each led more than 3000 cavalry, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"kill--"

The army of rogue bandits beat their war drums, and their shouts of killing shook the sky.

Yang Heqing stood on the lookout car and looked around with his binoculars. He saw rogue infantry troops attacking from three directions, with about 2 people in each direction. It was as if weeds covered the field, but he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"If these rogue bandits rely on the strong city of Hefei to defend, we will really have a tough battle to fight. Now they actually want to take the initiative to attack while our footing is not stable. Doesn't this directly reduce the difficulty of this battle?"

After talking to himself, Yang Heqing said: "Instruct all the troops to hold the military formation first. When the veterans of the rogue bandits are tired, follow my orders to counterattack. We must defeat them in one fell swoop and seize the opportunity to seize the city of Hefei!"

As Yang Heqing issued the order, the Yi army quickly set up a defensive formation and even had time to dig trenches in front of the formation.

At this time, the rogue infantry army was still on the road.

The two armies were four or five miles apart, and the leaders of each department deliberately controlled the speed of the infantry to maintain their physical strength.

Even though the order at this time was for the entire rogue army to charge, the actual marching speed of the infantry was only an average of [-] meters per minute.

After the officers and soldiers of the Ei army skillfully dug a simple trench, the rogue infantry was still on the road - more than two miles away from the Ei army's formation.

This distance was already within the range of the Yi army's artillery, but Yang Heqing did not issue an attack order, so the artillery suppressed their temper and waited.

Although the First Division was formed only a year or two ago, it has been tempered in dozens of large and small battles and is truly elite. It has a set of tactics that are familiar to both generals and soldiers.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the vanguard of the rogue infantry finally arrived more than 300 steps in front of the Yi army's formation.

Some small bandit leaders commanding from the front shouted loudly, waved flags, and urged the charge.

"Kill ah-"

Many new recruits of the rogue bandits accelerated their charge under the leadership of a few old thieves. Although they did not know how many guns and artillery the Wei army had, they also knew that the first two hundred steps of the military formation was the most difficult section to overcome.

On the other hand, as long as they can break through these two hundred steps and engage the Yi army in full hand-to-hand combat, they can give full play to their numerical advantage and win.

"Tiger Crouching Cannon fires!"

"The army shelled the rear of the rogue bandits!"

The horn sounded, the flag waved, and Yang Heqing finally gave the order to start the battle.

Suddenly, hundreds of squatting tiger cannons were set up on the edge of the trench on three sides of the Yi army's formation, and then there was a series of crisp cannon shots.

bang bang bang...

The bullets were fired one after another. The bullets were the size of eggs and shot straight for two to three hundred steps.Even if the person who was shot was wearing two or three layers of armor, he was still penetrated!
Sun's bullets were actually loose bullets that turned into a bullet net and shot forward. One shot enveloped dozens of people. Most of those who were hit were injured but did not die. They fell to the ground and howled miserably. It was extremely miserable.

One mile to two miles away is a military formation composed of elite infantry of the rogue bandits, which is both the governor and the pressure formation.

At this time, they were bombarded by dozens of rounds of explosives, causing immediate casualties and a sharp drop in morale.

He Jin, Lin Chengcheng, and Liu Xiyao each looked at the military formation that was in chaos after being hit by a round of explosive bombs, and they all looked ugly.

They had heard that the Yi army had many and sharp guns, and they always thought that it was more powerful and more powerful than the official guns they had seen before.But I didn't expect that the Yi army had so many guns and powerful guns!

"Damn it! The Yi army's artillery is so powerful, how can we hit it?" Liu Xiyao came over on horseback and asked.

Lin Chengcheng also came over and said: "We can't fight!"

He Jin's face was ugly. He felt that it was too late to say anything now.

At this point, he was worried that He Yilong and Ma Shouying had escaped with their cavalry, so he said: "Send someone to urge Ge Liyan and Lao Huihui to charge into the formation. As long as they can break through the Wei army's formation, we still have a chance! "

Lin Chengcheng and Liu Xiyao nodded, and immediately sent their personal followers to find He Yilong and Ma Shouying.Although He Yilong and Ma Shouying, who were watching the battle outside the rogue infantry, were also shocked by the sharp artillery fire of the Yi army, they really did not expect to abandon their teammates and run away - mainly because they held cavalry and thought that the battle was lost.

Seeing that He Jin and others sent people to urge the battle, He Yilong didn't think much and immediately sent people to tell Ma Shouying to attack the southwest and southeast corners of the Yi army's formation.

He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's firepower to concentrate on the other three sides and use cavalry to break through the enemy's rear formation.

In the Wei army's formation, Yang Heqing could clearly see the changes in the rogue cavalry from the vantage point.

He already had firepower to deal with the rogue cavalry, so he immediately ordered the rear formation to prepare for the enemy cavalry. Finally, he ordered: "Let Tang Yu lead the cavalry to one side first. When the enemy cavalry retreats, pursue them with all their strength!"

Woo-!
The horn sounded, and the two groups of rogue cavalry were like two sharp swords, stabbing at the seemingly plump buttocks of the Wei army's formation.

The rogue infantry on the other three sides were about to be beaten back by the Yi army's guns and artillery, but when they heard the cavalry attack from their own side, they actually organized another wave of charges.

"Kill it!"

The rogue infantry at the front finally engaged the Yi army, but they seemed to have hit an indestructible wall.

Then, many grenades were thrown out from inside and fell into the crowd of rogue infantry.

boom boom boom

Hundreds of grenades exploded, causing more casualties in an instant than the previous Tiger Crouching Cannon and Matchlock Guns combined!

The rogue bandits had more than half new recruits, and their will to fight was not that firm (a little firmer than the Ming army). They were suddenly hit so hard that they finally couldn't stand it any longer and fled in an instant like the ebbing tide of the sea!
On the other side, the rogue cavalry who rushed into the rear line of the Yi army also suffered a huge blow.

Tiger Crouching Cannon shotguns, matchlock volleys, and grenades, all three types of attacks were exchanged for one round, and the corpses of the people and horses piled up like a mountain in front of the Wei army's formation!

However, the rogue cavalry behind them still ran into them uncontrollably, and were killed by the Yi army's musketeers.

Occasionally, a few brave cavalry generals rushed over, trying to break through the military formation with their personal bravery, but they were mercilessly killed by the heavy armored infantry of the Yi army.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Seeing that nearly a thousand cavalry were killed and wounded but failed to break through the Wei army's formation, He Yilong finally became frightened and ordered the remaining cavalry to turn around and retreat hastily.

At this time, the Yi army's army artillery began to show its power again.

A burst of explosive ammunition landed right next to He Yilong, knocking him off his horse.

dong dong dong

The drums of the Yi army sounded.

This is the signal for the entire army to counterattack.

"kill!--"

"Chase the bandits! Capture Hefei!"

Quiet as a virgin, move like a rabbit!
What is described is the performance of the Wei army in this battle.

Although this battle was quite brutal, the actual fighting time between the two armies was only a quarter of an hour, so the casualties among the bandits were not too many. The total number of cavalry and infantry was estimated to be only 8000 or [-].

However, the remaining tens of thousands of people were fleeing.

The Wei army, which numbered only more than 2, pursued them from behind.

Yang Heqing saw this marvelous scene with his binoculars from the observation car, but he was not worried at all.

The rogue soldiers had lost their morale, their morale was low, and they were already in disarray. It was almost impossible to reorganize a large-scale counterattack under such a huge rout.

A small-scale counterattack can be organized.

The problem is, everyone is running away. Who is willing to organize a counterattack and use the lives of himself and his elite men to buy time for others to escape?

A rabble is a rabble!

······
"Quick! Close the gate!"

He Jin expected defeat and had already prepared to escape, so he led his elite infantry to flee into Hefei City first.

After entering the city, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.

A general reminded: "General, there are still many people who have not entered the city!"

"Let them go around to the east and west gates! You two, each lead people to guard the east and west gates. You must close the gates in advance to prevent the Yi army from rushing in with the defeated troops!"

After He Jin said this, several generals also knew that guarding Hefei City was the key to their lives, and they immediately took the order to execute it.

In this way, when the Yi army pursued Hefei City, more than half of the bandits fled into the city, and the city gates were closed in time.

Yang Heqing was quite surprised when he learned the news on the way there.

"It seems that there is indeed something in these five revolutionary divisions."

When Yang Heqing led his assistants to the south gate of Hefei, the sun was setting, and Tang Yu, who was responsible for chasing the rogue cavalry, also returned.

He looked ashamed and said: "The general is incompetent. We only killed a few hundred cavalry in this pursuit, and most of the rogue cavalry ran away.

On the contrary, Geliyan He Yilong, the leader of the fifth division of Ge Zuo, was injured by our army's artillery and died in the rebel army. His body was brought back by the last general. "

Yang Heqing was not surprised by the result of the cavalry pursuit.

The five Ge Zuo tribes have been in the world for more than ten years and are famous for their cavalry. If they want to escape, the Yi tribe cavalry will naturally not be able to catch up. Being able to kill hundreds of people in pursuit is considered good. (End of chapter)
