The five or six cavalrymen who went out to explore were all in horse armor, also known as Xiaoqi, similar to the reconnaissance cavalry. Like the "night warriors" of the former Ming army, they were all served by brave and fearless people, and their skills were very solid.
, and they all have rich experience. [ ] After they drove out, they scattered forward, backward, left, and right, and did not gather in one place. Once there was a police officer ahead, they would be able to ensure that one person would go back and report the news in time.
"grown ups?"
Zhao Qiang was a little worried that Volha would order a retreat. In that case, the plan to annihilate Xianghuangqi would be in vain, and he and so many carriages would be unable to advance or retreat.
"The birds here are not frightened and the animals are motionless. It must be because someone is hiding." Volha did not notice the strange look on Zhao Qiang's face. He just stared at the vests of the scouts and ordered him in a deep voice: "Mi Qing,
You gather the convoy quickly and don't cause the horses and drivers to run around in panic, and wait until I have dealt with these ambushes before following you. Remember, you must not act rashly before I give you a signal!"
Volha was not afraid of ambushes around him, but instead felt excited and nervous about trying. But before the battle, he had to properly arrange Mi Qing and others, otherwise it would be meaningless to defeat these ambushed Rakshasa people. After all, he had to properly arrange Mi Qing and others.
His mission was to sneak into the rear of the Rakshasa and harass them, not to win a battle. He still had no doubts about why there was a sudden ambush in Mergen.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that Volha asked him to retreat to the back, Zhao Qiang responded quickly, quickly turned his horse and ran towards the convoy, summoning Ge Feihu, Deqiu and the others whispered a few instructions. Soon, the coachmen gathered the carriages together.
They gathered together to form a defensive posture of a circular square. However, the road was blocked tightly. If Volha's people failed to support them, there would be no way to retreat.
The dozen or so readers didn't know what was going on ahead. Seeing their master's solemn face, the coachmen were also panicking. They felt vaguely that they were in danger. They huddled in the carriage formation with their teeth trembling and did not dare to move. However, Zhou Peigong
He climbed onto a carriage, raised his head and headed forward. No one was responsible for his behavior.
Several scouts had already rushed to the front of the ruins. At this time, it was approaching evening and the sky was getting dark. They could not clearly tell whether there was anyone behind the ruins. After calling each other a few words, the two vests whipped their whips and tried to go around from the east.
They looked behind the ruins to see what was going on. However, when they turned around, they suddenly saw countless heads suddenly popping up from behind the ruins.
"Rakshasa!"
The vests who were the first to arrive shouted loudly, and those red-haired ghosts knew from their appearance that they were Rakshasa people. Following his cry, all the vests arrived behind the ruins, and countless red-haired ghosts were watching eagerly.
Hold them.
"go back!"
The leading horseman yelled and was about to turn around and return to the main formation, but suddenly he subconsciously reined in the horse's head and turned towards the north because he heard a tremor from the ground. Cavalry! His heart was shocked, but it was
He did not immediately flee back to his own formation. He wanted to know how many cavalry the opponent had, which was his mission. But soon, he realized how stupid his pause was, because he saw nearly a thousand cavalry rushing towards him like a tide.
The people coming here are so dark that one can't see the end of them. There are many more Rakshasa people than there are behind the ruins.
Seeing that the cavalry were about to rush over, no matter how skilled and brave the horsemen were, they could not stop the rushing iron flow, so they rushed towards the formation one by one, without caring about the rules for returning to the formation.
I just want to escape back to the formation quickly, otherwise I will definitely be trampled into mud.
How could the Guan Ning cavalry from far and near make these Qing troops escape back? When they were still dozens of meters away, the cavalry at the front had already aimed their arrows at them.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh"
Hundreds of sharp arrows suddenly shot out of the air, shooting down the few men and horses who wanted to escape. Behind the ruins, Grifsky commanded his Cossack brigade to slowly step out of the ruins.
One team at a time, they advanced towards the Qing army on the opposite side. At the same time, the First Regiment of the Guards Division, under the command of Regiment Captain Jiang Si, also emerged from the woods southwest of Morgan in combat formation, making no sound.
approaching the hundreds of Qing troops.
"Sir, we are surrounded!"
When the opponent not only had Rakshasa soldiers, but also cavalry, Zuolinba was shocked. When countless fire gunmen appeared on the flanks, his heart began to beat wildly: Where did these enemy troops come from?
Yes, how come there are so many of them!
"Why panic!"
Volha did not expect that there were so many enemy troops ambushing here. He had clearly realized that the enemies were not only Rakshasa people, but also other enemies including Han people. But he was not afraid, he believed in himself
These powerful Eight Banners troops who can hold up to five thousand Han people can completely defeat the opponent. Even if they cannot defeat them, there is absolutely no problem in protecting themselves. This kind of self-confidence is not blind self-confidence, but a manifestation of strength, because Vole firmly believes that they are invincible.
The elite Eight Banners!
Volha was very calm and collected. He quickly analyzed which side the opponent was most likely to attack from, and then ordered the formation of a battle formation, ready to charge at any time. Of course, he also did not forget to line up his own soldiers outside the formation. Fortunately,
At the critical moment, he personally leads the fire rifle soldiers who penetrate the opponent's weakest link. According to the experience of fighting Wu Sangui's army, those fire rifle soldiers are often vulnerable to a single blow.
Yes, as long as you are willing to kill some people and drive them away like a lamb in one go, the opponent's position will be in chaos. As long as the opponent is in chaos, everything will be easy to handle. This time, let the Rakshasa ghost try it.
A taste of the power of my Eight Banners!
Infected by the leadership and confidence of the military commander, the originally panicked Qing troops quickly adjusted their mentality. They skillfully controlled the horses to form a formation, retrieved arrows, drew swords, and drew out swords.
A handful of beans were stuffed into the mouths of the war horses to keep them strong enough to cope with the upcoming fierce battle.
"Commander, our people are here, aren't we?" Ge Feihu was eager to challenge Zhao Qiang. He was really itching to kill the enemy with his bare army but couldn't kill a few of them.
Zhao Qiang had been watching Volha. After understanding his deployment, he smiled and said to Ge Feihu: "We are here to see if there is any improvement in the combat effectiveness of our Guan Ning Army in the past few months."
There was no mistake in Volha's deployment, but the disparity in strength could not be offset by his effective deployment alone.
"The commander-in-chief is with us. We must not disgrace our cavalry division later!"
"Qianhu, why don't we just rush over and be done with it? Why do we have to let the people from the Guards Division take the lead?"
"These Qing troops are forbidden troops from the capital. They are very hard-boned. If we charge directly, we will definitely lose a lot of men. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to let the Guards Division blow them away and then we take action?"
Ma Long explained to his subordinates the reason why he did not charge directly into the formation, and then quickly sent people to get an agreement with Wu Si, who was commanding the Cossack Brigade and the First Guard Division. Soon, Jiang Si began to take action.
He quickly moved his headquarters to a place less than 500 meters away from the Qing army, and then waited for the army's protection. The Qing army, under the command of Volha, did not move lightly. Volha had already figured out the opponent's intention, and he was waiting.
The opponent's infantry and cavalry met in a chaotic full blow.
