Chapter 118: The Line of Defense Was Broken
Suddenly, Zhu Cixuan thought that the troops on both sides were engaged in the battle, and our cavalry was still defending the safety of both wings, and now the cavalry could be attacked.
"The command of General Li Yan to lead the cavalry to attack the opponent's wings. He must maintain a combat distance of more than 30 meters and must not be stalemate with the opponent. He must rely on pistols to fight."
After Zhu Cixuan's order was issued, thousands of cavalry began to enter the battlefield.
They were also very enthusiastic about it just now, but without the above orders, they had to stand on both sides of the team to ensure the safety of the entire team's wings.
Now that the Crown Prince's order has been reached, we can also go to the battlefield to try our skills.
The eight thousand cavalry were divided into four square formations and began to attack the Qing cavalry that were charging.
The strategy they adopted was guerrilla strategy. They were very fast. They came to the next to the Qing cavalry and shot at them.
When the Qing cavalry wanted to catch up, they immediately retreated and used the vitality of each other as their combat target.
All 4,000 Li Guodong's reserve soldiers were put into battle. The close contact just now caused a sharp increase in the number of casualties on our side.
In addition to transporting the injured soldiers, many weapons and ammunition have to be replenished, so it seems urgent for a while.
The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is really powerful. If it were another army, it would have been defeated long ago.
However, under the leadership of Duoduo, the casualties on their side had exceeded 60%, but the remaining people were still rushing forward. How terrible is such an army.
But now there is nothing to worry about. This army has been crippled by us. It is probably impossible to cause harm to the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Just as Zhu Cixuan and Li Guodong breathed a sigh of relief, the two hundred men broke through our defense line.
Zhu Cixuan and Li Guodong's hearts instantly rose to their throats.
These people can be said to have stepped in on the bodies of their dead comrades. There were so many Eight Banners Iron Cavalry falling down in front, but these people did not reduce their speed at all. Instead, they rushed in on their corpses. This is the wolf nature on the battlefield.
When these cavalry broke into our town, many Ming soldiers around them began to be in chaos.
Zhu Cixuan also hammered the wood next to him hard at this time. Why didn’t he train the opponent’s tactics after rushing in? Now it’s better, making the opponent feel like he’s in a state of no one.
This is also a fault for being too confident before and thinking that it would be impossible for me to rush in. Now I have a slap in the face.
"Pistol, pistol..."
The officers at the scene reminded the soldiers below hard that some of the soldiers were frightened by the situation in front of them. The muskets in their hands had already fired up all the bullets, and they even pulled the trigger with a musket.
After hearing the chief’s reminder, I remembered that I still had a pistol.
There were about 400 soldiers dispersed at the scene, and fortunately one-tenth of them remembered that they had pistols. As long as they took out the pistols, the group of people rushing in would not be a big deal.
"Everyone rushed toward the gap, and opened it from there and disturbed them."
Duoduo said happily that now there is finally hope of winning.
The Eight Banners Cavalry rushed towards the gap in a swarm. If they were allowed to rush in, we would be in a close contact.
Although we still have an advantage here, the losses are too great. Zhu Cilang, the army, cannot make them lose like this, and it is unknown what they will look like after rushing in.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
Li Guodong in the distance saw that the prince was gone on the platform.
Under the platform, more than a thousand imperial guards were ready to go and rushed over on horseback. The target was the gap that was opened.
Duoduo rushed in with his men...
Before Zhu Cixuan came, Duoduo rushed in through the gap with his own people. But before the guy was happy, a team of cavalry appeared behind him.
This team of cavalry is different from others, because they all mention tall horses, and their clothes are different, and each soldier appears so powerful.
"Call out of the line, out of the line, out of the line, out of the line, kill me."
A voice came over, which was the voice of His Royal Highness, and the imperial guards quickly divided into two rows.
The first row of soldiers rode on horseback to fight the people outside.
The second row of soldiers began to wipe out the Qing cavalry rushing in.
After all, only four or five hundred people rushed in, and the number was not very large. It only caused some chaos just now. As long as we stabilized, no major problems would happen.
Although the firing speed of the revolver is not slow, the loading speed is really too slow.
Fortunately, Zhu Cilang arrived with people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Many soldiers' hands were shaking. After firing six bullets, they didn't know how to load the bullets, which wasted a lot of time.
However, considering that it is their first time on the battlefield, this is also forgiven.
Duoduo cut over a Ming soldier with one knife. At this time, he felt a little dangerous. Although he had performed very bravely just now, his retreat has been cut off.
not good!
The other party wants to keep himself...
Zhu Cilang just wanted to make up for this gap, but who knew that Duoduo rushed in with his people.
If that's the case, you must be left behind.
In this battle, the Qing cavalry suffered heavy losses. If the Qing prince could be captured, the attack on the entire Qing Dynasty would be very huge, and it might be possible that they would directly force them to withdraw from the outside of the pass.
"Prince, be careful."
A soldier threw Duoduo down from the side. If it weren't for him, Duoduo's head would have been drilled into a muzzle just now.
The people around saw that the Ming soldiers were becoming more and more calm. They were able to kill people while they were in trouble, but now they were clearly distinguished.
"Don't separate from them, but get involved with them so that we can survive."
Duoduo is an old man on the battlefield, so he naturally understands how to deal with the Ming army, especially the Ming army in front of him.
That is, we must never keep a distance from them. Once we keep a distance from them, our swords, guns and sticks will lose their function. Instead, their guns and weapons can fully utilize their advantages.
At that time, we were the lambs to be slaughtered, and they could kill whatever they wanted. After Duoduo's prompt, a large number of Qing soldiers began to form a group with the Ming soldiers around them.
