Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Cavalry hedging, there is no technical content at all, only courage is the only competition.It is to see who is brave and who does not evade when hedging, then whoever wins.

But it is very strange that although cavalry hedging is a common situation on the battlefield, it is quite rare for the two armies to actually collide.Generally, when one side charged aggressively and desperately, the other side had already flinched out of fear and dispersed in order to avoid it.Because everyone knows that as long as there is a collision, it is basically lifeless.

And the family history of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is the history of this kind of desperate collision.Nurhachi was in exile in this way, and finally subdued and integrated the Jurchen tribes one by one, forming the Eight Banners.Then the Eight Banners also relied on such ferocious tactics, and repeatedly defeated many with less in the grasslands, subdued the tribes of Eastern Mongolia, and established the Manchu-Mongolian coalition.

Afterwards, this desperate hedge was used to defeat the Liaodong Ming army repeatedly. In the end, even the Guanning iron cavalry dared not go out of the city again, and did not dare to fight the Qing army in the field.Therefore, in any war throughout the ages, the courage of soldiers always comes first.

But Dorgon never expected that today's Qing army would encounter such a Ming army that dared to hedge.Facing rows of cavalry in front of them constantly dying, the troops of Tan Tu and Ji Lang'a immediately collapsed.

After all, this army is composed of Mongolian Eight Banners and Mongolian tribe herders.At this time, the Mongolian army had degenerated quite severely, and there was no trace of the demeanor of Genghis Khan's Mongolian army at all.Besides, the intensity of fighting on the grassland is actually quite low.

In the battle on the grassland, although both sides may use tens of thousands of cavalry, it looks like a huge momentum, but often the two sides charge into the battle once and disperse the opponent's elite, and the war is over.Moreover, the enemy troops will also surrender themselves and become their own troops.Because on the grasslands, scattered herdsmen simply cannot survive without relying on tribes.

Therefore, in a war on the grassland, the loser will not resist desperately, and the winner will not kill them all.And the Mongolian soldiers trained in such an atmosphere of war, his fighting will can be imagined.

This is the case with the troops of Tan Tu and Ji Lang'a.The first few rows were all Mongolian Eight Banners who had received rigorous training from the Qing army, so their fighting will was a little bit stronger.But the Mongolian herdsmen who followed couldn't hold on.They entered the customs to plunder, not to die, so they saw the Runing army rushing one for one.They were terrified, and immediately dispersed their formation to both sides, trying to let the cavalry of the Runing Army pass by.

And if the front row gives way, the back row will definitely not be desperate, so it is like an adjective-a hot knife cuts butter.The entire formation of the Qing army was cut open.

Although there were many cavalry in the Qing army, they all retreated to the left and right.There are just a few who don't open their eyes.They absolutely couldn't stop the Runing Army's group charge, and were submerged under the iron hooves in an instant.So after the fierce charge at the beginning, the cavalry of the Runing Army suddenly lost their hindrance, ran for a while, and they actually passed through the formation.

Suddenly penetrating through the formation, the cavalry of the Runing Army were also taken aback.They also slowed down their horses under the signal of the head of the cavalry regiment Wang.At this time, these cavalry had two choices: one was to continue to attack the main formation of the Qing army where Dorgon was located; the other was to kill the formation of the Qing army again and kill back to their own troops.

Head Wang made his choice without hesitation. He straightened his spear and shouted: "Brothers, are you interested in doing it again?"

"Good!" All the cavalry were very excited, and they shouted in unison.

Commander Wang still remembered what Zug told him before he set off, that he wanted his cavalry regiment to delay the advance of the Qing army, not to attack the main formation of the Qing army, so Commander Wang wanted to attack Tan Tu and Ji again Lang Abe.

"Tan Tu and Ji Lang Ah are two idiots, why don't they die?" Dorgon, who was watching the battle, was furious.

Not only Dorgon was angry, whether it was Tan Tu and Ji Lang'a who had been thrown into the formation, or Mazari and Quangui who were forming a team, they were all pissed off by this arrogant cavalry of the Runing Army, and they mobilized one after another His Balaya personal soldiers rushed to the front line and were about to wipe out the cavalry of the Runing Army.

After Commander Wang ordered "the whole army to turn around", he led a few soldiers to drive to the last row, then leveled his spear, and blew the long whistle for charging.

But this time the battle was not so smooth. Although there were no Qing cavalry blocking the formation of the Runing Army, the horses that had already charged once had no rest at all, so their speed could no longer be raised.So the Qing army swarmed in, and they rushed in and hacked on both sides of the formation, making the number of cavalry in each row of the Runing Army less and less. In the end, only more than 100 cavalry were left to pass through the formation again.

However, the mission was accomplished this time. After all, it delayed the time for the Qing army to attack the main formation of the Runing army. Taking advantage of this opportunity created, Li Sanhe's troops gradually approached the middle.

So the Qing army focused its attention on Li Sanhe's tribe again, but Li Sanhe's campaign went smoothly unexpectedly.

Because the Qing army was pierced by the cavalry regiment of the head of the regiment Wang twice in a row, there was no time to regroup properly, so it was impossible to form a continuous charge against Li Sanhe's troops.

However, the artillery and firecrackers of the two infantry regiments of Li Sanhe had no loss. During the movement, they kept shooting the Qing army with their firearms, and then resolutely used the cavalry of the infantry regiment to countercharge. .This caused the Qing army to return without success again and again, and did not stop the pace of the two infantry regiments.

As Li Sanhe's troops moved to the left step by step, the Qing army was also a little helpless against this army.Seeing that they were about to block the main force of the Runing Army.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Runing Army hastened to deploy artillery arrays in front of the two phalanxes, gathered more than 700 soldiers who fled back, and temporarily formed a phalanx, which was arranged behind the central phalanx.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was about to stabilize, Wu Shigong also heaved a sigh of relief.He was prepared to withdraw the entire army as soon as the battle situation stabilized, and no matter what, he must first withdraw from the range of the Qing army's artillery.

And Dorgon frowned when he saw that the stalemate could not be resolved for a long time, and he was constantly afraid of hitting his thigh, feeling extremely unwilling in his heart.He knew: After the Ming army on the opposite side suffered this loss, they would never be fooled again, and they would never take the initiative to walk into the range of the general's gun again.

But at this moment, "Boom--!", there was a muffled sound of thunder over the battlefield, Wu Shigong was surprised, Dorgon was surprised, both of them looked at the sky at the same time, only to see that there were one drop, two drops in the sky. Drops..., then it continued, and finally it rained heavily. (To be continued..)
