The intruder cavalry standing not far away from Obai quickly loaded their muskets and fired a shot in the blink of an eye.
It's just that the accuracy of the bullet was slightly poor, and only Obai's horse was killed. He himself rolled around, and was picked up by another Eight Banners cavalry, and ran back to the main formation.
Yi Bilong quickly took hold of the ownerless war horse. He had already forgotten all the past events of being beaten up by Obai in Yanzhou. At this moment of fierce fighting and danger, Yi Bilong knew deeply.
What a great effect a warrior like Obai could play. He rushed to the side of Obai's horse and immediately helped him change to a new horse.
"How many bandits are there?"
Ye Bilong looked up to the sky and sighed. His spirit had been completely crushed by the large number of new troops that suddenly poured into the battlefield. He kept repeating this sentence over and over again, almost telling us to run away.
Although Obai was not shot dead by the muskets fired by the intruder cavalry, he had already suffered countless wounds from the hard battles, his body was covered with blood, and his face was covered in gunpowder smoke and the color of the enemy's dirty fluids.
"Maybe twice as many as us...I think at most twice as many as us!"
After Ao Bai dropped these words, he ran to Tan Tai. He looked at Tan Tai who looked dull and said sternly: "Hong Chengchou, this traitor, has the strength of a thief and a soldier. What you say to him is totally untrue."
There are other things. The Great Khan was deceived by Thief Hong, and we were also deceived by him!"
After being yelled like this by Obai, Tan Tai gradually came back to his senses. He looked at the fierce offensive of the intruders like a sea wave, and also noticed the critical situation of the Qing army's front being shaken everywhere. He immediately said without hesitation:
"Yes...yes, yes, Hong Chengchou, this traitor! We can't fight any longer, there are too many traitors, we must retreat immediately. Let's go, let's go now, let's cross to the north bank of the Yellow River... Everyone follow me immediately
!”
"Are you crazy!"
Obai grabbed Tan Tai with one hand and spoke very fast: "Now our army is shaken on all fronts. Once we suddenly retreat, there will be a lot of rogue cavalry. If they take advantage of the situation to pursue us, our entire army will be annihilated!"
"right……"
Tan Tai was not a mediocre general, on the contrary, he was indeed one of the most outstanding figures among the Mesozoic generals of the Qing army. It was just because Li Laiheng's main force suddenly deployed, and the momentum of the invading army was too overwhelming, that he was overwhelmed mentally.
, which made Tan Tai speechless and almost made a mistake in judgment.
After he punched himself in the chest, he gritted his teeth and said to Obai: "You are right, what we are fighting for now with the bandits is just one breath. Whoever takes a step back and lets out this breath will be punished."
The whole army was wiped out... But our troops are not as strong as the enemy, so we cannot sustain it for a long time. In the end, we will still have to find a way to evacuate."
Oboi nodded and said: "Let me charge before retreating! In that fight at night, we have killed a lot of the bandit's cavalry. And from my point of view, although their cavalry's fighting skills and formation are very strange, but
None of our warriors are as powerful as our warriors. Let me charge again. Even if I can't defeat the bandit army, I can still greatly suppress their momentum."
Obai also wanted to gather all the remaining elite cavalry of the Qing army and take another gamble, trying to break through directly in the center and charge directly into the main formation of the central army of the Chuang army. If he could defeat the central army of the Chuang army, he might even capture and kill the Chuang army.
The head coach may be able to reverse the outcome in one fell swoop.
However, Tan Tai's thinking was different from that of Obai. What he thought was that the Qing army was now shaken across the board. If it suddenly retreated, the wavering across the board would most likely turn into a complete rout.
Tan Tai absolutely cannot afford such tragic consequences!
If Obai's last counterattack can be effective, even if he cannot kill the rogue general, it may still be able to deter the enemy from chasing him.
Tan Tai secretly made up his mind that once Obai's counterattack attack had an effect, he would immediately seize this opportunity and withdraw the main force of the Qing army from the battlefield.
As for Obai...
For the survival of more warriors in the Qing Dynasty, some sacrifices must be made.
"Okay! That's it, I'll hand over all the remaining guards to you. This final charge is related to the success or failure of five thousand lives, and it all depends on your own strength!"
Tan Tai agreed to Obai's request and gathered together the last remaining elite armored cavalry soldiers of the Qing army. Unfortunately, after hard fighting day and night, the 5,000 Qing army at this time could only piece together less than 400 men.
The raiding party is coming.
It was Er Bilong who brought dozens more people to participate in the counterattack, so that the strength of Obai's team reached between 400 and 500. Although their number was small compared to the bandits, they all did enough to put them to death.
, desperate preparations, the morale is equally high, the fighting spirit is full, and the fighting spirit is inspired, no less than the enemies of the Eight Banners Soldiers.
"Fight! This is the last push."
Oboi didn't think the rebel cavalry was very powerful. During a night of fierce fighting, he already realized that the martial arts of the rebel cavalry was much inferior to that of the Manchus.
What was most powerful about them was the first wave of charge, which was like a landslide and tsunami. That highly dense wall-like charge really gave Obai a strong sense of powerlessness.
But he soon discovered that this kind of wall charge was indispensable.
After the intensive charge against the three walls of the Chuang Army, it was very easy for them to fall into chaos due to their overly dense formation. The speed at which they reorganized their formation was even slower than that of the general cavalry of the Ming Army.
With one charge, the Qing army could immediately regain the upper hand.
After all, wall charge is not an invincible tactic. In fact, in the so-called "modern cavalry", wall charge is not even a tactic that is often chosen and used.
The power of "modern cavalry" does not come from a one-time tactic full of flaws such as wall charge, but because "modern cavalry" often has more cavalry generals and non-commissioned officers.
These officers are scattered in various positions throughout the charge formation. Under their control and training, the cavalry can reorganize their charge formation in a very short time and quickly launch the second wave of charge.
Judging from the number of cavalry generals and cavalry non-commissioned officers, the Eight Banners cavalry is actually better than the Chaos Army cavalry.
The number of truly experienced knights under Li Laiheng was too small. Most of the cavalry in the intruding army were either veterans of the infantry who had switched careers, or newcomers with only one and a half years of combat experience. It was also because of this condition that Li Laiheng could only use intensive charges.
This attrition tactic of one life for one life was used to cover up the actual weakness of the invading cavalry.
Oboi, who quickly realized this, had every reason to believe that his counterattack could possibly reverse victory or defeat!
"Ebilong, we haven't lost yet, why are you so dejected?"
Ye Bilong looked at Obai's injuries and couldn't help but worry: "You are already injured like this, why don't you let me lead the team?"
"I'm Batulu from the Qing Dynasty! This little injury doesn't matter."
Ao Bai's newly transferred black horse raised its head and neighed. He untied the broken cloth armor and threw it on the ground. Then he took another piece of armor ripped from a dead man from the guard and put it on his body.
.
Hundreds of war horses were panting. Not only the soldiers, but also the Qing army's war horses were almost reaching their limit. Oboi also knew that according to this situation, if they could not reverse the situation with one blow, they would really be
Even if you run, you may not be able to escape.
This is the final impact.
Today's overall outcome will be determined by this impact.
Obai's courage lived up to the name of Batulu, and the Qing cavalry was so courageous that even if the front line of the invasion army was made of pure steel, it would have to be melted into iron.
In terms of fighting will, their commander-in-chief Obai is an outstanding example for the entire army.
The Qing army is indeed an outstanding army in this era, even in the world.
This army that was about to usurp the rule of all China was by no means an army that conquered the Central Plains by relying on luck and new vassals.
In the fortress battle of Songjin, Guan, and Liao, they used artillery shells that surpassed Wallenstein's super-heavy artillery in caliber, caliber, and weight; in previous battles with the Ming army, the number of artillery that the Qing army mobilized in field battles
Several times the firepower concentrated by Gustav at the Battle of Lützen.
In terms of cavalry, there is no reason why their excellent cavalry, which defeated the Mongols and are accustomed to charging with mounted archery and can pierce the enemy at a hundred steps in high-speed maneuvers, is better than the Polish winged cavalry who were also selected from small nobles and trained in riding skills since childhood.
To be worse.
The Qing army was not an army that usurped the rule of China by relying on good luck. On the contrary, it was the most mature and powerful military and political group in East Asia during this period, and it was a formidable and powerful enemy worldwide.
During the Shunzhi rule, the Qing army once easily defeated the Russian Cossacks who broke through from the direction of the Sanjiang Plain where the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers meet with a small partial division of less than a thousand men.
It proved that in the absence of geographical support, the Cossacks could not gain a foothold within the Qing army's sphere of influence.
Even during the Kangxi period, the Qing army's combat effectiveness had declined rapidly due to years of corruption. However, in the two battles of Yaksa, the Qing army used two to three thousand troops to win field battles against nearly a thousand Russian Cossacks.
It was only because of geographical difficulties that they had to spend a lot of effort in besieging the Cossack wooden fort.
However, an army of more than 2,000 people went to besiege a wooden fort with 800 people. With insufficient preparation and lack of heavy artillery, they were unable to succeed. This did not explain how much more powerful the Cossacks were compared to the corrupted Qing army.
.
All in all, the Qing army was not a second- or even third-rate army in the seventeenth century. This group of barbarians who were about to usurp all of China were in fact no less powerful enemies than the Mongolian Yuan.
There is not much time left for the whole world to be truly annihilated.
Obeyler mounted his horse, and the Eight Banners Cavalry was ready for the last fight.
With the sound of wind, this is the most frightening morning for people!
