The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 117 Ambush the Captive Cavalry
Subconsciously, Zeng Li always thought that the Ming army had only [-] infantry, and he didn't realize that there were people hiding in the thick smoke.

Panicked, these Qing soldiers hurriedly picked up their bows and set up their arrows, but the distance of less than a hundred steps was within seconds for the cavalry.

Those domineering long spears stabbed their respective targets accurately. It was very difficult to practice long spear stabbing skills, but the hit rate of this Ming army was as high as [-]%, which showed their excellent training!

The Qing army had always underestimated the enemy, Zeng Li's side rushed forward with almost no formation. At this time, more than a hundred troops were cut off in an instant, and immediately fell into chaos.

The captain of the cavalry didn't turn around, but accelerated towards the cavalry led by Mu Teng'er on the other side, and the spear was broken in the impact just now, so he drew out his saber and continued to charge.

Mu Teng'er heard the screams from Zeng Li's men, and realized that the Ming army was in ambush, so he hurriedly took down his bow and arrow.

But Tie Da attacked from their flanks, and the relative vertical movement of the two sides made it difficult to aim. In addition, they were frightened by the surprise attack. The Qing army only shot one or two arrows hastily, and the Ming cavalry's spears had already reached their chests.

Needless to say, the impact of the Lancers, coupled with the side impact, Mu Teng'er's men were also scattered in the blink of an eye.Dozens of Jianlu were lifted into the air by the powerful inertia of the cavalry guns, and blood sprayed the Qing army behind them all over their heads and faces like a torrential rain.

The original straight formation of Mu Teng'e's troops was smashed into a gap in an instant, turning into a huge "eight" character, and the momentum of rushing was frustrated.

Immediately behind Tie Dake's Lancers, more than a hundred cavalrymen in dark green military uniforms emerged from the smoke and galloped through the chaotic troops of Zeng Li's team. The Qing soldiers within dozens of steps beside them were shot and fell down one after another.

Then the Ming army cavalry turned around again, quickly gathered into formation, put away the short guns and drew out the steel sword and rushed back again, the blade of the sword suddenly brought bursts of blood.

On the other side, Tie Dake also completed the circle of horses, turned his head, and charged towards Mu Teng'er's cavalry again.

When Zeng Li turned his head, he saw that most of his subordinates were dead or injured, and the living ones were scattered all over the place, no one listened to his orders.

He was also a person who licked blood all the year round, and then he threw away the brigade, gathered only a dozen confidant guards around him, raised his saber and rushed towards the Ming army's infantry.

He was only sixty or seventy steps away from the infantry formation. As long as he could rush into the infantry, he could slaughter wantonly, and the cavalry of the Ming army behind him could only be handed over to Lord Durd's central army.

The gunpowder smoke on the battlefield was blown away by a gust of wind. Through the smoke, Zeng Li was surprised to see that the infantry of the Ming army formed a strange square formation, all pointing the firecrackers with daggers diagonally outward. ...

Zheng Chenggong walked aimlessly with dozens of soldiers.He himself didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know whether he was the governor of the imperial camp of Longwu or the son of a traitor who surrendered to captives.

Daming, whom he was loyal to, no longer accepted him, and His Majesty the Emperor, who admired him the most, began to suspect him, and all of this was not his fault, it was only because the father who had never lived with him was a contemptible traitor.

At this moment, he felt like a walking corpse, as if he was dead but still alive.

Suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of firecrackers in the distance.One of his personal soldiers immediately urged his horse to go to investigate, and returned after a while, cupped his hands and said: "General, we found Jianlu cavalry ahead, the number is unknown, and they seem to be fighting with people."

Jianlu?OK!It just so happens that my seven-foot body has already lost its soul, so wouldn't it be a great profit to exchange a few Jianlu lives?A gleam of light finally appeared in Zheng Chenggong's eyes.Wouldn't it be nice for a dignified man to die on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather? !
He pulled out the sharp blade from his waist, turned his head and said to his subordinates: "I will kill the thief to die. If you don't want to go with me, you will leave."

"We will live and die together with the general!" more than [-] sergeants roared without hesitation.

"Okay! Then I will thank you all again under Jiuquan!"

Zheng Chenggong seemed to have suddenly found his proper destination, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, brandished his knife and shouted: "Follow me!"

Du De saw his subordinates being ambushed and killed in a short while, and cursed himself for being so underestimating the enemy!
This team of cunning Ming soldiers fired their guns indiscriminately in order to create a large amount of smoke for an ambush. Those infantry who seemed to be able to strangle with a single charge were simply bait.

He was so anxious that the veins on his forehead were throbbing - without these hundreds of cavalry, what could he do with Li Chengdong?These people must be saved!
Durd pointed his saber forward with red eyes and shouted, "Give it to me!" Then he rushed out first, followed by more than 300 cavalry immediately behind him.

Zhu Linming calmly looked at the Qing army on the opposite side. Although the fir and pine forest he was in was sparse, if the gunpowder smoke filled it, it would be an excellent hiding place.His plan was very simple. First, the large army lurks near the hills two miles away, and when the gunpowder smoke is everywhere on the battlefield, he can't see anything.

He saw hundreds of Jianlu's main force rushing from the middle, and he also drew out the wheel-wheel pistol on his waist and pointed it at Durde's central army, and said in a calm voice, "Attack!"

At this time, Jian Luding already knew that there was an ambush in the smoky pine forest, and now there was no tricky way to defeat them head-on!
However, after the ambush just now, the morale of the Qing army has been greatly affected, and the number has also become a disadvantage. It is already a toothless tiger, and it is just right to defeat it with all strength.

Four hundred hussars lined up in a neat three-tier charge line, and walked slowly out of the pine forest with short guns in hand.

The team faced Durd's cavalry head-on and began to gradually accelerate.

Zhu Linmi was on the left side of the cavalry formation, rushing along with the brigade, but Zhen Zhen and Zhao Shichao always stood in front of him, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhu Linmi didn't try to overtake them, for one thing, his riding skills were far inferior to these two, and he couldn't squeeze into the front row at all.Secondly, his shooting skills on horseback are mediocre, and he has never practiced cavalry swords, and it doesn't work if he rushes to the front.As Supreme Commander, his most important task is to be present beside the soldiers, which can greatly boost their morale.

The cavalry from both sides were getting closer and closer, and they both lowered their heads and urged their horses to the fastest speed.Du De sneered again, how dare these Ming soldiers compete with him in cavalry? !It's like hitting a stone with an egg!Even the most elite Guan Ning cavalry in the Ming Dynasty did not dare to make such a big deal.

"Let these Nikans enjoy the bows and arrows of Manchurian athletes!"

The distance between the two armies was about a hundred paces. Durde turned his horse's head abruptly, and the entire column of the Qing army immediately turned to the left, staggering past the Ming army's cavalry.

This is a common tactic used by Jianlu, relying on superb riding skills to accurately control the distance between the cavalry on both sides, and then shoot and kill the opponent with his own strong bow.
