The Manchurian cavalry swept over like a whirlwind, and most of the officers and soldiers under Zhang Ruxing were idle soldiers from the Beijing Camp and Tongzhou Town Camp with little combat effectiveness.
The few elite servants who dared to fight were killed by the Manchurian troops. Zhang Ruxing saw hundreds of his subordinates either dead or fleeing in an instant, with less than half remaining. Not only did his fighting spirit and morale completely collapse,
Falling, even the whole person's spirit is in a state of collapse.
Li Weiqun was also in a confused state. He only had dozens of cavalry warriors under his command, so he was obviously no match for the Qing army. Moreover, he unexpectedly encountered the Qing army's outflanking main force. Such important news obviously had to be sent back to Li Laiheng as soon as possible.
So now, should I fight or run away?
Before Zhang Ruxing and Li Weiqun could decide whether to fight, defend or flee, the Qing army had already made the decision for them. Ah Shan commanded the elite Manchu knights to swarm in and rushed in front of Zhang Ruxing.
Spreading out in a figure-eight shape, it became a situation of encirclement and total annihilation.
"Breakout! Your horses are still powerful, so retreat north immediately. The rest of the people... will fight with me. We must attract Donglu's attention!"
Li Weiqun made a quick decision. He arranged for the cavalry from the rear group to break out to the north because their horses still had more energy left. According to Li Weiqun's estimation, the possibility of breaking out and returning to Baoding was relatively high.
He himself was determined to stay and fight to the death with dozens of cavalry and thousands of Qing troops, so as to attract the attention of the Qing troops and create opportunities for troops to retreat northward.
Compared to the nearly 9,000 Qing troops with dozens of cavalry, it was really an incredible gap.
However, in fact, not all of the nine thousand outflanking troops of the Qing army were concentrated in this one place.
Although the Qing army captured countless local people during last year's armed tourism event in Beizhili, they were also familiar with the landscape and environment of Beizhili.
But now that the snow is freezing, the landscape has changed somewhat compared to autumn. What's more, the Qing army marched south from the frozen Baiyangdian area. If they wanted to capture the correct position of the army's retreat or food route during the rush, they naturally had to divide their troops.
Road, spread out the troops at a certain distance to search.
Therefore, the Qing army that Li Weiqun and Zhang Ruxing encountered was not the entire main force of the nine thousand Manchu roundabout troops, but only a vanguard force.
However, even the vanguard force still has a strength of more than 1,000 and nearly 2,000 people. Zhang Ruxing has hundreds of weak soldiers and Li Weiqun has dozens of cavalry. To fight against the Qing army with such a force, it is still possible to hit the stone with an egg!
"If you hit a rock with an egg, it will stop the boulder for a moment!"
After Li Weiqun arranged the distribution of troops for the breakout, he lowered his Jiujiang helmet to the base of his nose. He thought of his good friend Luo Bin who was killed by the Qing army in the outpost of the Battle of Dangshan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that their origins were completely different.
, but the fate of life leads to the same track.
He also received Chu Chuang's military education at the Suiying School, and he also became a cutting-edge young officer in Chu Chuang's army. In a battle where the enemy is outnumbered and the strength is disparate, will he be sacrificed by Jian Nu's sword and gun?
"The soldiers of the invading army will die without regrets!"
Li Weiqun did not know that many years later, when Liu Xiyao was trapped in the mountains of Guangdong and Guangxi to resist the Qing Dynasty, he was hunted down by the Nanming army and slandered as a white felt bandit by the Nanming survivors who claimed to be the judges of history.
Roared like this.
There are also those who burned themselves in the flames in Maolu Mountain. The soldiers of the Breaking Army have the greatest honor, that is, they are the soldiers who persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty in the mainland until the last moment.
At this moment, there was no such deep hatred between the Chuang army and the Qing army. But for Li Weiqun personally, just the death of his friend Luo Bin at the hands of the Qing army was enough to stimulate his fighting spirit.
Dozens of elite knights from the insurgent army began to speed up. About half of the knights around Li Weiqun were his comrades in arms at the same time, and the other half had more seniority.
Compared with the elite soldiers of the Qing army who had been fighting for hundreds of years, they were all newcomers on the battlefield. But when these dozens of newcomers were pieced together into three phalanxes, when the three cavalry detachments formed a wall, those
The experienced Manchu knights suddenly discovered that past experience was of no use in the new war.
"Rush over!"
Li Weiqun put down his visor, and after a low growl, he flattened his spear and pointed it at the enemy. The other cavalrymen of the intruders also followed suit. The charge of dozens of spears clearly had the spirit of an army.
The Manchus did not take such a small team seriously. They only thought that these dozens of cavalry should be like Zhang Ruxing, completely waiting to die.
But...but they actually gathered together and launched a countercharge towards the invincible Qing cavalry!
The group of Manchus who rushed at the front were so furious that they waved their weapons and rushed towards Li Weiqun's group of men in twos and threes.
Unfortunately, the cold weather prevented the use of bows and arrows, which greatly weakened the Qing army's advantage. The Manchus who rushed over in twos and threes became pigs and sheep who were actively slaughtered. They wanted to pick fruit trees, but instead
Unexpectedly, he hit the iron wall.
At the moment when the two sides came into contact, only four of the Chuang troops were killed, while nearly ten of the Manchus had suddenly fallen from their horses!
The Qing army was taken aback. In panic, the troops had to further pull apart to both sides. The dense Qing cavalry brigade continued to spread to the two wings, forming a larger figure eight.
Li Weiqun rushed forward from the center of the eight figures, like parting the sea, cutting straight into the enemy formation.
At this time, the small group of troops retreating north finally found a fighter plane and left the battlefield. Li Weiqun finally breathed a sigh of relief. The dozens of people they left behind looked at each other at their comrades, and they all looked relieved when they saw each other.
Only by looking at his expressions did he make sure that no one felt resentful because he was left behind.
This, of course, has a vital impact on their morale.
The two wings of the Qing army finally began to close together again. Ah Shan was quite dissatisfied with their slow fighting. He desperately wanted to lead the Baya Lajia soldiers around him to rush into the battle immediately, but he was persuaded by He Luohui to stop him.
He Luohui whispered: "Don't forget the defeat of Dangshan! What happened to Tan Tai? We are not popular people in front of the Great Khan. The thieves are so cunning that we should not wear white armor lightly to avoid accidents."
Ashan was hesitant to speak, but finally gave up the idea of increasing the strength of the bargaining chip and crushing the dozens of cavalry thieves in one fell swoop. Anyway, there are hundreds of Manchurian cavalry in the formation now. Isn't it easy to deal with dozens of cavalry?
Why worry?
His idea was correct. After the first wall charge of the intruder cavalry shocked the Qing army, as the two wings of the Qing army came together, the maneuvering space on the battlefield shrank. After Li Weiqun and others fell into an unfavorable hand-to-hand fight, the situation became dire.
It took a sharp turn.
Li Weiqun couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw many people died heroically in battle: "They are a group of good brothers!"
"What did Mr. Li say? I am from northern Shaanxi. I can kill Tatars with ease. I am not afraid of them even if they die!"
"We eat three kilograms of steamed buns a day and talk loudly all the time. Can we still fight our way out?"
"The Tatars didn't all attack. Do they want to watch us break out, or are they afraid that we will have a back-up plan?"
"No matter what it is, if the Tatars didn't swoop in and eat us all today, it's just bad luck for them!"
"The Tatars come behind Marshal Li, what are they going to do?"
The soldiers were talking a lot during the fierce battle. The chatter revealed Li Weiqun's thinking. The Tatars took a circuitous route, apparently to attack the rear of the invading army or cut off the food route.
He suddenly thought of Zhang Ruxing's troops who had been defeated. As long as the Tatars tortured the information from Zhang Ruxing, they would know the specific location of the enemy's artillery targets...
Li Weiqun suddenly felt shuddering. He tried his best to assist his comrades in retreating north. It was obviously a wrong decision. He should have broken out south and passed the news to Gu Junen first!
He wiped the blood on his face and said calmly: "Brothers, listen to me. Take advantage of the opportunity when the Tatars think we are cheating, bite the bullet and break out south. As long as one person breaks out...
As long as one person brings the news to Gu Sima, we will win!"
