Thick mist surrounded every cavalryman. Gu Junen's mission achieved great success in a very short time. Chen Yongfu couldn't help but be deeply touched by his condescending and arrogant speech in Ma Muji.
Even if Yuan Shizhong still insists on fighting the Chuang army to the end, they still have to consider whether Ma Muji's defenders can withstand the next thunderous attack of the Chuang army.
Moreover, since Chen Yongfu and Yuan Shizhong have placed their hope in the rescue of the Ming Army's westward marching corps, the one hour consideration time given by Gu Junen, regardless of whether the Ming Army surrenders after one hour or continues to resist, is better than taking action against the Chu Army immediately now.
Come well.
All this was in Gu Junen's calculations, but even so, before Chen Yongfu sent him back to the main formation of the Chuang Army to report the news, Gu Junen was still worried. He even made plans and was always calculating about himself and Chen Yongfu.
The number of steps between them, considering that if the situation is unfavorable, they will immediately rush over and use the dagger at their waist to kidnap the Ming army commander.
But based on Gu Junen's skills, he would probably be chopped into pieces by Chen Yongfu immediately...
Fortunately, he fulfilled his mission after all. Chen Yongfu was prepared to use this last moment to wait for the Ming army's westward marching corps. If reinforcements did not arrive, he had no intention of sacrificing his life for the court and Emperor Chongzhen, but was already ready to surrender.
Break into the army and prepare to change your boss.
As for Yuan Shizhong, he planned to use this hour to prepare for war and repair many of the civil engineering works that had been blown up by the invading army's artillery targets.
For Li Laiheng...
The war in Ma Muji is about to come to an end.
Night and thick fog became the best barrier to cover the retreat of the intruders, but Li Laiheng still listened to Fang Yiren's suggestion and did not immediately withdraw all troops to the east battlefield.
He first asked Hao Yaoqi to lead the cavalry troops to withdraw eastward first, while the remaining infantry and artillery troops were on guard against the Ming army at Mumaji, while withdrawing in turn.
Li Laiheng was cautious and prepared to speed up, fearing that Chen Yongfu and Yuan Shizhong would see the clues.
He can't hope that when the Qing army is hurting his back, the Ming army will help him out of national justice!
Hao Yaoqi's cavalry unit moved eastward very quickly, but the complicated weather conditions and dim vision in the middle of the night still caused him great difficulties.
Within the "three walls" of the rapidly running army, several teams were out of touch with the main force. Some cavalrymen ran too slowly and were left behind the main force; some cavalrymen went in the wrong direction in the thick fog and deviated.
They crossed the main road between Xuzhou and Guide; there were also some cavalrymen who encountered the Qing cavalry prematurely because they rushed too fast.
The number of this group of cavalry was less than 130. The cavalry commander who commanded them was Aide, the younger brother of Ai Zhuo, the mighty general of the Chu Chuang cavalry. He was bent on riding forward, but he did not expect to collide with Donglu so soon.
, amidst the chaos, it was unclear what the specific strength of Donglu was.
However, Ed thought about meeting in a narrow road and fought for just one breath, so he did not even think about taking a step back to avoid the enemy's sharp edge. He led twenty cavalrymen who broke through the three walls to a small slope, and then
Then he raised the charge horn high, bit it in his mouth, tilted it upward slightly, and blew out an extremely sharp and crisp trumpet sound.
The sound of the trumpet pierced through the layers of dense fog like a sharp sword. Ed led twenty three-wall cavalry to rush down from the small slope. Their assault queue was so densely arranged that the comrades'
The arms can touch each other, and it looks like a solid city wall advancing forward.
At this time, Obai finally understood why the enemy cavalry shouted the word "wall" in the wilderness. He looked at the enemies bound and connected by circles of fog. From a distance, the spears of these enemy cavalry looked like
It was as if they were all connected together, and their armors became a "wall" spliced together.
Oboi has the most enviable and admirable title "Batulu" in the Qing army. His bravery is the best among the Eight Banners soldiers. But against one wall... no, not one wall, but three walls.
In front of him, his personal bravery seemed weak.
The three walls of the invading army rushed into the ranks of the Bajala soldiers with mist and dew, and their spear points still covered with morning dew penetrated into the bodies of the Qing army's horses and Manchus.
Puff, Puff, the sound of penetration sounded continuously, mixed with the sound of the spear shaft breaking.
The intruder cavalry was attacking, and the Eight Banners soldiers were also fighting back. Some of the Eight Banners soldiers were stabbed to death with their spears, while some spears were broken by their own violent impact when they hit solid armor.
The Baya Lajia soldiers also launched a counterattack with their spears and sabers, but their formation was much looser than that of the Chuang army. Although the Qing cavalry's equestrian and martial arts skills were all superior to those of the Chuang army's cavalry, this was a critical moment.
In this situation, the dense team and the cramped battlefield did not allow them to display their personal martial arts.
The three-wall cavalry minimized the impact of personal equestrianism and martial arts on the cavalry's combat effectiveness. The Chuangjun evolved the cavalry's impact and confrontation from the knights' superb and ingenious martial showdown into a zero-sum game of flesh and blood consumption.
.
The factors that determine victory are very simple, that is, which side has more cavalry, higher morale, and a more determined attack.
There were several agile Eight Banners soldiers of the forward army beside Obai. They dodged the musket fire of the insurgent cavalry, but they still did not dodge the "wall" that rushed towards them with a roar.
The forward armor soldiers wanted to turn their horses around to avoid the attack of the intruder cavalry, but the fierce impact of the wall that formed a wall oppressed them without any room to maneuver or leap.
But in the end, they could only exchange their lives for their lives. These most precious and brave soldiers of the vanguard with the yellow flag could only swing their spears and sabers desperately at the moment they were stabbed down by three or even four spears.
Take away an enemy's life.
But this kind of consumption of life for life is simply an unacceptable dead end for Obai!
He was deeply shocked by the wall-like charge of the intruder cavalry. How on earth were they going to fight against such cavalry? Their equestrian skills, mounted shooting, and martial arts were not that great, but the cramped space left the Eight Banners soldiers with nothing they could do.
Playing to your own strengths, you can only play the most meaningless life-for-life game with the enemy.
Ao Bai was more powerful. Although the charge of the Three Walls cavalry killed many Baya Lajia soldiers, he, Ao Bai, was only knocked off his horse by the spear. He wore three layers of armor, cotton armor and chain mail.
Cloth armor, the solid protection of these three pieces of armor saved Obai's life, allowing him to continue fighting after he fell from his horse.
Although the three walls of the Breaking Army can give people overwhelming pressure when charging, their dense formation has also been destroyed a lot after the wave of charges is over.
The overly dense attack formation made it much more difficult for the Chuang Army cavalry to reorganize than the general cavalry team. Obai did not understand this, but his battlefield sense caught the attention of the three soldiers of the Chuang Army.
The cavalry blocking the wall were unable to organize their formation, and all the remaining Eight Banners armored soldiers rushed forward crazily.
They used waist knives, spears, maces, and mainly bows and arrows to penetrate the fog and concentrate their efforts to attack the enemy cavalry.
At this time, the formations of both sides were in chaos, and the intruder cavalry could not reorganize into a wall-charging formation in a short period of time. Everyone could only fight on their own in the darkness, and everyone caught each other and killed each other.
Courage and martial arts were used, and the battle reached a fever pitch, leaving no room for breathing.
After Obai used a lasso to pull a rebel cavalry off his horse, he leaped and rolled, climbed onto the horse, and then took a pair of bows and arrows from the hands of the forward soldiers beside him. He still had a strong sense of control on the galloping horse.
Neither darkness nor fog can stop Obai's arrows from killing the enemy.
When the battle descended into a general melee, the Qing army's personal martial arts advantages began to gradually come into play.
But……
However, the Chuang Army has a greater advantage in strength. On the battlefield, the biggest and only unshakable advantage is the advantage in strength.
More than a thousand cavalry led by Hao Yaoqi arrived on the battlefield one after another. Two teams of about a hundred people formed a three-wall formation in a crescent trajectory, detouring back to the flanks of the battlefield, and then cut into the battlefield with a fierce wall-like charge.
Obai was caught off guard. No matter how brave the Eight Banners soldiers were, they could not fight against an enemy several times their own. They retreated while shooting arrows. Obai had already issued an order to break out. Although the Qing soldiers killed many intruder cavalry one after another,
But the overall advantage of the battle has gone to the Chuangjun side.
"Is it Donglu? We bumped into Qing soldiers!"
After Hao Yaoqi asked and answered himself, he immediately led the vanguard of the intruders to charge. They rushed into the battlefield like a long blue dragon, and their martial arts blue shined on the battlefield. The elite soldiers of Bagala looked like the most capable and brave soldiers.
A large area was cut down like straw, and the Manchus with pigtails fell off their horses one after another.
The three walls were ravaged by cavalry, and Hao Yaoqi gave full play to his strength advantage. The cavalry of the invading army launched annihilating blows against the Qing army from three directions.
Obai managed to break through, but unfortunately he was shot in the calf by a lead bullet. He felt that a broken piece of armor was embedded in his flesh and blood. The blood flowed and quickly filled his boots, but he could only hold back the violent force.
In pain, he led the remaining Qing troops to break out of the encirclement to the east.
Since the Songjin War, the Qing army has become ten times more arrogant than before, and Obai's arrogance has become even stronger among the Manchus. How could he endure the humiliation of such a defeat!
