Wutuo really couldn't accept the shocking casualty ratio in front of him!
He felt from the bottom of his heart that the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were invincible.
Now, seeing the casualty ratio in this battle, he felt a sense of collapse as his faith collapsed.
"kill!"
"Kill the thief!"
"..."
Wutuo shouted loudly, led the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry of the Qing army in a circle on the battlefield, and charged towards the Ming army again.
He must avenge himself!
Use the blood and lives of the Ming thief cavalry to defend the glory of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.
The entire battlefield was soon filled with the sound of horse hooves.
The farmland, paths, and villages surrounding the battlefield were almost trampled into ruins.
The people in the village fled in all directions, fearing that they would be involved in this massive fighting.
Cries of death, wailing, the sound of sharp blades tearing flesh, and the crisp sound of bones breaking, kept ringing in everyone's ears.
Some Ming cavalrymen took out grenades, opened the fuses, and threw them at the Qing cavalry in front of them.
Now the grenade used by the elite cavalry of the Ming Army is no longer the old grenade that needs to light the fuse to use it.
It's a new type of grenade that just needs to be pulled off the cord and thrown out to explode.
It is undoubtedly more convenient to use!
It is also better able to adapt to complex environments on the battlefield.
The only drawback is that it is not stable enough. There is a certain probability that the grenade will become a dud after pulling the cable.
Due to technical problems, this probability is quite high!
Amidst the rumbling explosions, the flames caused by the exploding grenades, and the dense shrapnel, ruthlessly harvested human lives.
A Qing cavalryman and the war horse they were riding were attacked.
The grenade exploded after it landed on the ground. Amidst the booming explosion, the belly of the war horse was torn into pieces by flying shrapnel, and countless bloody holes were torn open.
Blood flowed out and he let out a painful scream!
The cavalryman on horseback was thrown off his horse!
The cavalry's legs and feet had already been blown away by grenades, leaving only white bone stubble exposed.
Blood spurts!
The cavalryman let out pitiful screams and wails.
The expression on his face was twisted, full of ferocity and despair.
The next moment, a horse hoof hit his chest and abdomen, the skin, bones, and internal organs of his chest...
All turned into pulp under the horses' hooves!
The wailing and screaming stopped suddenly!
Then, the cavalryman's head was trampled by a horse's hoof.
In the blink of an eye, it was like a rotten watermelon that had been stepped on, with red and white bits scattered all over the floor.
The fighting continues!
The cavalry on both sides were still fighting each other.
The battle lasted all morning.
It wasn't until the red sun was in the sky and it was noon that the cavalrymen on both sides, who were severely exhausted, had no choice but to call a truce and began to retreat.
Wu Tuo looked at the Ming cavalry calmly retreating from the battlefield, and a sense of frustration arose spontaneously.
When did the Ming army also have cavalry and gain the upper hand in the battle with the Qing Dynasty?
You know, even the Guan Ning cavalry back then could only barely cope with the Qing Dynasty's Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.
Now, suddenly, it was discovered that there was a cavalry in the Ming army that could compete with the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.
It's not as if I'm scared or uneasy, but I still feel a sense of emptiness.
During the retreat, the morale of the Qing army was obviously low.
…
The cavalry confrontation before this decisive battle was not so much a confrontation between the vanguards of both sides.
Rather, it is a preview of the decisive battle!
The Ming army relied on its equipment, training, and advanced tactics to gain an advantage over the Qing army!
The Qing army could only rely on the number of troops to regain the situation!
Zhang Meng returned to his camp with the Ming cavalry who had experienced a hard battle, and reported to Zhu Hongyu the good news that he had successfully repelled the Qing cavalry.
Zhu Hongyu laughed heartily, as if he wanted to infect everyone with his smile.
It seems to be saying, look, the cavalry of the Qing army is nothing more than this!
"In front of my Ming army, the Qing captives are nothing more than paper tigers!"
"Yes, we, the Ming Dynasty, are invincible. We can definitely defeat the southward army of Jiannu in one fell swoop and conquer Jiangnan."
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious, long live His Royal Highness the Jianguo!"
"..."
Everyone around Zhu Hongyu seemed to be infected by his emotions, and everyone was full of confidence.
The Ming army was in a lively and joyful atmosphere!
But the Qing army was completely the opposite!
Wutuo returned to the main army with the Qing cavalry, bringing bad news to Tuhai that the reinforcement of Jiaxing had failed.
"Sir, our reinforcements to Jiaxing have failed!"
"When our Qing cavalry was attacking Jiaxing, we were intercepted by the Ming cavalry."
"After fighting fiercely for half a day, the battle was still unable to achieve a breakthrough, so the general had to lead his team back."
Wu Tuo's mood was a bit low.
Hong Chengchou on the side asked.
"General Wutuo, can the Ming thief's cavalry be able to stop my great Qing Jing cavalry?"
Hong Chengchou couldn't believe it. When did the Ming thieves' cavalry have such combat power?
Wu Tuo nodded, and then recounted the scene on today's battlefield to Hong Chengchou and Tu Hai.
"The combat effectiveness of the Ming cavalry is not weak. When the two sides clashed with cavalry and archery, although we, the Qing, had some advantages, it was not as big as imagined."
"When the cavalry from both sides clashed, we, the Qing Dynasty, were at a disadvantage."
"The charging formation used by the Ming thieves is really weird!"
"It's too close. When the two sides fight, one Qing cavalry will sometimes even have to face the siege of three or five Ming cavalry."
"The remaining men want to join the battle group to reinforce, but they can't get in at all..."
Listening to Wu Tuo's narration, both Tu Hai and Hong Chengchou fell into hard thinking.
They could tell that what Wutuo said was true.
But if this is the case, then this battle will be difficult to fight!
The cavalry of the Ming thieves were of high quality. If the Qing Dynasty fought, they would probably lose some of their strength...
It seems that they want to reinforce Jiaxing!
A cavalry attack alone is not enough; the main force must be pressed forward.
Thinking of this, Tuhai ordered.
"The army is ordered to speed up its march and must arrive outside Jiaxing City for reinforcements before the Ming thieves attack Jiaxing!"
After Tuhai gave an order, the Qing army's march speed accelerated again.
Groups of Qing troops, horse and infantry, marched along the official road and headed towards Jiaxing City.
…
Outside Jiaxing City, the Ming army's siege battle has reached its most critical moment.
The soldiers of the Ming army attacked Jiaxing one after another, and the heavy artillery deployed outside the city also began to extend its firing range, shooting deep into the city.
Amidst the rumbling sound of shelling, countless artillery shells flew!
Turning buildings into ruins!
Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosive bombs exploding sounded one after another.
The shells fell among the crowd, and shrapnel swept across everything.
Under such powerful firepower, the Jiaxing defenders retreated steadily and were unable to withstand the Ming army's fierce attack.
Zhu Hongyu even went up to the high platform himself, beat the war drums, and cheered for the Ming army attacking the city.
The Ming army attacked like a rainbow from top to bottom, and people continued to climb to the top of Jiaxing City.
Shouting loudly to kill, they threw themselves into the battle in Jiaxing City.
There were endless shouts and shouts in Jiaxing City, and groups of Ming army soldiers and horses attacked one after another and poured into Jiaxing City.
As if they want to completely crush all enemies who dare to resist them!
Finally, some Qing troops could not resist the pressure from the Ming Dynasty and chose to turn around and run away.
This run was like a crack appearing in a solid dam!
Under the continuous impact of floods, this crack continued to expand.
