Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh ambush soldiers
But before Abatai and the others could figure it out, Wu Shigong waved his hand, and the drums of the Chinese army immediately sounded in unison. The commander in front of the heavy cavalry formation covered his raised visor, and he gently clamped
The horse's belly began to move forward slowly.
As the spear tip of the heavy cavalry leader tilted forward, the heavy cavalry began to move. The ground on the entire battlefield suddenly shook, like rolling thunder, and it rolled towards the Qing army.
The reason why heavy cavalry has the word "heavy" is that it is impossible to run too fast and reach a high-speed sprint state all of a sudden. Therefore, these heavy cavalry are walking forward slowly and quickly, which is an extremely slow pace.
The purpose of the acceleration process is to gradually warm up the horse and prepare for the final sprint.
But just the "rumbling" sound of hoofbeats, coupled with the cold light reflected by the spears and plate armor under the sun, put great pressure on the Qing army as they slowly approached.
Qing generals like Abatai knew the power of these heavy cavalry. The armored cavalry of the Jin Dynasty - Lian Ma, and the Mongolian heavy cavalry - Qixue Army were all heavy cavalry created by the grassland tribes and had a glorious history.
.
Although heavy cavalry has been gradually eliminated now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty still has its own weakened version of heavy cavalry - armored cavalry. And the Qing army's armored cavalry, with white armored soldiers as the core, has repeatedly made meritorious deeds in previous battles. This
This also made the Manchu Qing Dynasty extremely proud of their armored cavalry charging into battle, claiming to be the best heavy cavalry in the world since the Song Dynasty.
But today is the weakened version versus the enhanced version. When Abatai turned around and looked at the faces of his subordinates, he knew that no one dared to ask for help. At this time, using cavalry against cavalry, charging against charging, it would be a total death, Qing Qing
No matter how courageous the generals of the army are, they are not used in this fatal situation.
Watching his heavy cavalry move forward, Chi Ming, who was beside Wu Shigong, clenched his fists and moved his buttocks on the horse, looking eager to try. He looked back at Wu Shigong's face from time to time, hoping that he could
Go into battle and fight in person.
Now Chi Ming was protecting Wu Shigong with more than a hundred remaining soldiers, so he lost the opportunity to command the heavy cavalry to charge into the battle. This also made Chi Ming, who was eager to fight, feel sad.
Seeing that Chi Ming was so out of control, Wu Shigong was furious. He immediately yelled: "Why are you twisting? Are you riding a mare? There are still many opportunities to fight. Look at how hairy you are.
You look like that, do you feel free to let you out?"
Wu Shigong's words immediately caused bursts of laughter around him.
Wu Shigong didn't care that Chi Ming's face turned the color of pig's liver. He turned his head and lectured Wang Sheng and others loudly, who stretched their necks to watch the battle: "What does it mean to treat everyone equally? This is to treat everyone equally. Everyone can share wealth and honor."
Yes, we will fight through the difficulties together. This is where the real story begins. Of course some things need to be kept secret before the war, but when it comes time to take action, you will know what the real situation is."
For Wang Sheng and the others, being forced by Wu Shigong to be cannon fodder was of course very helpless, but of course they also had some resentment in their hearts. But now that Wu Shigong said it, they saw with their own eyes that the Runing Army dispatched the most elite heavyweights.
The cavalry dealt with the Qing army, this was more convincing than any words.
Simply being cannon fodder and being a bait to win are definitely two different concepts. Wang Sheng and the others felt much better, at least although they were still being used as cannon fodder, they were not abandoned by Wu Shigong as an outcast.
So Wang Sheng immediately nodded and bowed and replied: "Yes, yes! The villain understands the benevolence and righteousness of the commander-in-chief. The villain will definitely die for the commander-in-chief."
Wu Shigong nodded and said: "The remaining men here are all good. I will go to get the horses and equipment later, and then I will replenish your troops. As for the reward, we will talk about it after we go back. Your casualties
It’s a bit big, so just stay with me and rest for a few days! When you get back, you guys will have what our Runing Army has. You won’t be treated badly.”
Wang Sheng and the others were overjoyed, knowing that the certificate they presented had taken effect. Wang Sheng hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed. He said: "Young men are all the commander-in-chief's sons and don't dare to act independently. From now on, I will definitely obey you, the commander-in-chief."
Order."
I saw the heavy cavalry of the Runing Army starting to take off. On a small grassy slope four or five miles to the right of the battlefield, a spy from the Runing Army was lying on the grass and observing, waving to the back of the grassy slope.
Behind the grassy slope was a large grassland covered with weeds as tall as one person. I saw the spies in front waving their hands, and with an order, a group of men and horses suddenly stood up in the grass. They were lying down in the grass to hide.
Yes, the Cavalry Association led by Xue Shihou had more than 3,400 cavalry.
Yesterday evening, under the cover of darkness, the cavalry ran to the shallow water downstream and swam across the river. In the blind spot of the Qing army's thinking, the cavalry had already crossed the river, and they were now hiding in the bridgehead.
Behind the car formation, who would have thought that they had unknowingly crossed the river again, returned to the north bank of the Wuming River, and set up an ambush. This cavalry was the surprise force arranged by Wu Shigong today.
Officers like Xue Shihou shouted in low voices and asked the soldiers to speed up. The soldiers also pulled away the weeds that were used to protect the people and horses, and then led the horses for a few steps to rejuvenate the horses that had been lying down for a while. Immediately afterwards
Line up and prepare to go to the battlefield.
"Xieluqi! Take your Mengba banner forward, block the archers and gunmen in front, and be sure to block this team of bright dogs. When their speed slows down, it will be easier for us to fight." Abatai
He ordered loudly.
At this time, Abatai made a decisive decision and directly ordered the general. In this critical moment, there was no mention of the Manchu and Mongolian family. Abatai wanted to block the Mongolian soldiers at the forefront and cover the retreat of the main force of the Qing army.
to a safe distance.
At Abatai's order, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army immediately took action. They drove the Mongolian archers and gun soldiers towards the Chinese army. Those who resisted a little were chopped down with swords. After a while, people
They had already been driven to the predetermined position. At this time, the heavy cavalry on the opposite side had already begun to charge under the command of the heavy cavalry commander.
"Eight Banners athletes should step back a hundred steps! If the rifle fire impedes the progress of the Ming Dog Cavalry, then rush forward and strike hard!" Abatai then ordered.
This order does have some rules. No matter how fiercely the heavy cavalry of the Runing army charges, if they are hit by the intensive firepower of bows, arrows and muskets, their momentum will definitely slow down. By that time, the opponent's momentum will be reduced, and the Qing army will
A countercharge using static braking might have a miraculous effect.
After hearing that Abate's command was very orderly, the soldiers of the Qing army were much calmer. They all made their own preparations and were ready to welcome the heavy cavalry of the Runing army.
As the heavy cavalry commander raised his spear, the sprint speed of the heavy cavalry squadron finally reached its peak. Standing in front of the Qing army, commanding the archers and gunmen, the Qing army officers shouted loudly at the top of their lungs.
But facing the torrent of steel rolling in like the god of death, the archers and musketeers of the Qing army were also unable to hold back. I don't know who fired the first gunshot, and then there was a sound of firecrackers and
The sound of archery.
Only the gunmen of the Runing Army, who had undergone long-term simulation training with cavalry, could remain calm in such a situation. At that time, other armies, whether it was the Ming Army or the Qing Army,
, under such circumstances, the performance will not be good. The Qing army can shoot normally instead of fleeing, which is already considered a good performance.
But at such a long distance, what effect would those shots have? It was just a waste of a shooting opportunity. So the officers in charge of the Qing army cursed: "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Don't be in a hurry to fire,
Why don’t you get ready quickly?”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the heavy cavalry of the Runing Army sprinting forward for dozens of steps. Another burst of firecrackers sounded, and a piece of arrows shot out. The Qing generals under command were furious. They took their swords and directly
He rushed into the formation of gunmen and archers and chopped off the heads of several unlucky people one after another. Then he waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to shoot randomly again, I will chop off his head! Hold it down!"
"
But it turned out that untrained soldiers were indeed unable to suppress the oncoming cavalry. Before the heavy cavalry of the Runing Army entered the shooting range, both the musketeers and the archers fired several rounds.
Under the pressure of death, they showed high efficiency and successfully laid out a dense firepower net.
But when the heavy cavalry of the Runing Army rushed into the hundred steps, the violent trembling on the ground made the gunmen and archers even weaker. And they could also see the appearance of the heavy cavalry clearly, with only the expression on their faces.
The heavy cavalry with double eyes brought an extremely frightening aura of killing to people. The Qing army could no longer hold back its position.
The trembling gunmen were already in a panic. They could no longer perform complete loading movements. Many people could not even remember the order of loading ammunition, and their minds were blank. The archers were better, after all, they could draw the bow and release the arrow.
It has become the instinct of these Qing soldiers.
The Qing army officers under command yelled, and finally fired a row of arrows sparsely, but only three or two shots from the muskets were heard. But this time the shooting was completely ineffective. Those arrows shot
No damage was done to the plate armor of the heavy cavalry or the felt vests of the horses. The array of gunners and archers of the Qing army immediately collapsed.
But when these gunmen and archers turned around and ran away, they were surprised to find that the Mengba Banner cavalry supervising the battle behind them had already turned their horses and fled backwards. These Mengba Banner cavalry were standing where they were,
There is no forward movement at all, and the cavalry has no speed and is not as good as the infantry in formation, let alone the heavy cavalry with the most powerful collision ability.
Seeing this situation, some of the Qing gunmen and archers who originally wanted to hold on also dropped their guns and bows, and they all scrambled to flee behind them.
