In a short time, the two sides rushed past each other, leaving behind broken limbs and corpses of men and horses on the ground. The cavalry's attack was so cruel. The moment that decided life and death required decisiveness, bravery, prompt decision-making, and action.
We are determined to die together.
When the two sides' horses passed each other at high speed, the one who hesitated must have died. Chu Zhentang and others rushed over and passed through the formation.
Gradually reduce the speed of the horse, then turn around and come back. Prepare to charge again. Now, although it is no longer equipped with plate armor, it is replaced by a stab-proof cloak. These cloaks are hooded and have a row of buttons on the chest to fasten.
The opponent's saber cannot cut or pierce it. Of course, if the opponent uses a heavy weapon to smash it, there will still be no defensive effect.
Not enough, these people are scouts, that is, reconnaissance cavalry. They must reduce the weight as much as possible, only in this way can the horse exert its maximum performance.
Wearing heavy plate armor, they would not be able to do reconnaissance work well. However, what surprised the Eighteen Cavalrymen was that the cavalrymen on the opposite side ran away.
They did not turn around and come back again, and then continued to fight and fight. There were originally more than 150 people, and they didn't take these eighteen riders seriously at all.
But when they rushed forward, they were first killed by two-round rifles, thirty-six people, and then more than fifty people were killed by double-barreled short-fire muskets.
There were ninety casualties in one fell swoop. Only more than sixty people were left. When the two sides fought hand-to-hand, twenty-one people were killed again.
This scared them almost crazy. Who was this person and why was he so scary? The remaining forty-odd people didn't need anyone to direct them at all. They all ran away after hedging.
At this time, if you don't run, why don't you wait for the other party to rush over? Chu Zhentang secretly screamed that it was a pity. Each of them still had four double-barreled short-fire muskets that they had not fired.
If you continue to deliberately hedge, you will definitely defeat them all. Since the other party ran far away, you left a big circle and ran towards the camp.
They won't pursue him either.
"We will go, and this time there will be no more blind flies, annoying ones following us." The Eighteen Cavalry Juechen left, and they were dazzled by the densely packed rebels not far away.
Why did it feel unreal that the Ming Dynasty actually had such elite cavalry? They rushed over and saw them completely as if they were in an uninhabited land.
Then he chopped down two-thirds of the chasing cavalry like melons and vegetables. In the end, they walked away without any casualties.
The more than 50,000 rebel troops under Tongzhou City were regarded as nothing.
"This is Dingyuan Bo's Xinghe regiment training. This is Xinghe regiment training. They are not official soldiers." Someone shouted in horror.
It is not surprising that these people can be recognized, because they are the broken soldiers who ran from Xianghe County. The rebels quickly caused a commotion.
They still knew the reputation of Uncle Dingyuan. Uncle Dingyuan was estimated to be nine thousand years old, and then he wiped out Monan Mongolia and became powerful in all directions.
"No, Uncle Dingyuan is back."
"It's not good, the Beijing camp has returned." Seeing that chaos was about to happen, Huang Tengyuan, the guard at Da'ankou, immediately shouted.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle Dingyuan is in Guihua City. How could he come back?"
"These are just his servants." He was the biggest official in the rebellion, and all the rebel battalion officers also took orders from him.
The other officers and soldiers who were unwilling to join the bandits ran away. Huang Tengyuan was actually the leader of these rebels at this time.
The battalion officers who participated in the rebel battalions also came out to restrain the troops and eliminate panic.
"Brothers, don't be afraid. The capital is very empty. The capital is three thousand miles away and there is no time to come back. When we capture Tongzhou, we will open the door to the capital." The capital is surrounded by dignitaries.
Grange, it's extremely rich there.
The land there has been annexed over more than 200 years, and there are no farmers left there.
The rich people's manor houses not only have a large amount of food and materials, but also hard currencies such as gold and silver. There are also domestic singers and beauties.
Especially those civil servants, who are both responsible and established. They live in shabby rooms in the capital, eat rough food, and wish they had patches on their clothes.
The old wife at home was even more plainly dressed, and there was some vegetable soup left over from the meal at home, which she would save for the next meal.
But in their manor outside the city, there is a grand house, luxurious decoration, expensive furniture, and a huge Soviet-style garden.
The groups of servants were in sharp contrast to the situation in the city. Even when these civil servants went out to party and have fun, they mostly stayed in gardens outside the city.
I rarely go for fun in Bada Hutong, because there are censors in the city to supervise the conduct of the people. The people who go to the brothels in the capital are the second generation.
Where are they jealous and vindictive? These people have been jealous for a while. They suddenly realized that they were really stupid before.
The whole family is so poor that they can hardly eat the rice bran. They are so desperate. This time they just rebelled against their mother.
We let go of robbery. We robbed government warehouses and private houses all the way. It turns out that the fastest way to make a fortune in the world is robbery.
The money came in so fast. They rebelled, so naturally they didn't dare to leave their family behind. They took the money with them and robbed them all the way.
Now each of them has grabbed a lot of wealth, and the family is pushing the stolen chicken bus, containing food, clothes, and belongings.
They spread across the land like locusts. Everywhere they passed, they were looted. They had tasted the benefits, and naturally they were unwilling to end the lucrative career of bandits so quickly.
At this time, they defeated the guardsmen who came to encircle and block them. Even the camp soldiers sent by the emperor were beaten and fled.
Their confidence was almost overwhelming. However, they were still afraid of the Beijing camp. After all, they were the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.
I heard that Uncle Dingyuan led them all the way with triumphant songs and defeated the Mongols. So when I heard that the eighteen horsemen were the people of Uncle Dingyuan, I was so frightened that I almost immediately rushed them with them.
things escape.
In fact, they never thought about what they would do in the end and where they would end up. Because they were so overwhelmed by the victory all the way, they never thought about how this chaos would end.
What will happen to them in the end? They are in a state of excitement, their eyes are bloodshot, trying to grab more things.
"Brothers, let's work together to capture Tongzhou City, and we will march to the capital."
"Let's ask the emperor why he doesn't pay me and why he wants to lay off us. In this world, if we leave the military camp, our family will starve to death."
"Yes, let's ask the emperor why he used these traitorous ministers and why he poisoned us. Damn it, if he doesn't pay severance pay and poisons us to death, is there any justice or king's law?"
