The cavalry of the Dianzuo Army has already carried out the twenty-second charge. The density of such charge waves is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Not only are the cavalry exhausted, but they have already been replaced by the second or even third horse.
The horse's horsepower has also reached its limit.
Beams of light were cast on Liu Fangliang's body. He was wearing silver armor. At this moment, like the white-armored soldiers of the Qing army opposite him, they were all stained with blood and discolored.
More than 20 charges exhausted all the energy of the three-walled army of the left army, but they also achieved dazzling results. The main troops deployed by Dorgon Hedgehog on the central front have been overwhelmed.
The tens of thousands of Green Battalion soldiers collapsed completely, leaving only Bo Hetuo and several thousand Eight Banners soldiers led by General Nikan on the forward position to resist stubbornly.
The large group of infantry under Guo Junzhen also jumped over the trench, took over the gap in the battle line that the cavalry had torn through the three walls, and used an unstoppable trend to crowd out the Qing troops and drive the Manchus out of the position one by one.
Nikan was already red-blooded. There were corpses of Manchu guards in all directions, and the blood of the young members of the Aisin Gioro family was covered under his feet. The Shun army clearly only had more than 80,000 people, so how could they not kill them all?
Nikan waved his saber desperately, slashing with all his strength, but his physical strength continued to drain, his helmet was tilted, and his robes and boots were soaked with blood. However, the number of thieves who continued to pour into the depths of the position did not decrease at all, and the number of men and horses increased.
The more flags the hedgehogs gather, the more densely they gather.
Nikan's eyes were bloodshot and he cursed in despair:
"Thieves! Thieves! Thieves! These ant thieves! How can I never kill them all?"
Then there were several thunders of the red barbarian artillery, and the artillery of the Dashun Army once again overturned the soil at the feet of the Qing army. Nikan was stunned, but Bo Hetuo was quite sober about the current predicament of the Qing army. He only heard
From the intensity of the gunfire, we knew that this must not be support from friendly forces, but could only be another wave of artillery fire from the intruders.
After all, there are still a few cannons left in Kong Youde's place, and Bo and Tuo know it very well.
Bohetuo patted the neck of his horse caressingly. This good horse from the river was gifted by the regent. It had been injured by the gravel splashed by the cannonball. All four legs were injured. It fell to the ground in sorrow. In the hot weather,
There was also white smoke visible to the naked eye coming out of the mouth, and the injury was so severe that no medicine could cure it.
Horses are like this, and people are like this.
Boheto's right arm was dripping with dark red blood. He was hit by several stray bullets, and his shoulder blades were chopped into pieces by an intruder with a mazaar knife. Half of his body could no longer move. At this time, he relied entirely on perseverance to survive.
Continue to command and organize the final defense of the Qing troops.
Many Qing soldiers—mostly Han soldiers from the green camp, but some Eight Banners soldiers whom Bo Hetuo was familiar with gradually appeared—countless people were fleeing backwards, and they were spreading all kinds of rumors:
The front line was defeated, rogue artillery, enemy cavalry attacks, grenade explosions... Everyone said something different, and people's words were different. It seemed that they had not yet seen the enemy's face, and they were intimidating each other based on rumors and hearsay.
They spread rumors and ran away first. In a defeated battle, the person who can see the enemy's face before turning around and running away is considered a warrior. Some of them had no time to speak, and they were separated by just a nod.
Gradually, it seems that only a few people around Bohetuo and Nikan are left on the Qing army's position. They are the last remaining rocks in the ebbing tide, isolated on the beach, with crows and vultures circling in the sky, seemingly just waiting for the big attack.
The final blow of Shunjun will bring down the delicious food of harvesting corpses.
At first, Nikan tried his best to prevent the disintegration of the army. He slashed to death and injured several Qing soldiers. But soon, the collapse became more and more fierce. How could one person stop it?
The wave of retreat has become the mainstream, and the Manchus who charge forward single-handedly have become a different kind. Several palace guards also want to hold Nikan back and flee with him.
"Sir! The intruder's cavalry is charging forward again! How can we stop them with such a small number of us? Run away quickly. If you don't run away, you won't be able to escape!"
Many Eight Banners generals were like this. They were trapped in a large group of rebellious troops, swirling around in the whirlpool of broken troops, and were made dizzy and even lost their courage.
Nikan was extremely angry. He could endure the defeat of the Green Army and the collapse of the Ming army, but under no circumstances could he accept the Manchus, who were full of martial virtue, showing such wretchedness, cowardice and incompetence.
Nikan stopped several times, brandishing his knife and shouting angrily, as if he wanted to re-command and organize a small army in an attempt to completely stop the chaos.
The current situation of the Qing army, if Nikan can really do this, there is still hope to reorganize the army's queues and battle lines, and restore the morale and morale of the entire army. The battle is not without hope, and returning to fight against the enemy is by no means complete.
impossible things.
But Nikan does not have such a magical talent. He is not as good as Bohetuo. He can't even control the guards around him, including his subordinates, generals, guards, personal soldiers, brave cavalry, and soldiers who pass orders...all banners are under control.
, the officers and leaders have all disappeared, and Nikan is alone in the chaos. What can he do?
He can't do anything!
When the army collapsed, the aura of Aisin Gioro on Nikan dimmed. Under the blade of the intruder, what was the difference between Nikan and the most common starving corpse on the roadside?
In front of Nikan's eyes, in front of him, except for the last six guards, there was no other protection and obstruction from the Qing army soldiers. The silver-white three-walled knights of the Dashun Army rushed over in overwhelming numbers, acting as intruders.
When the knights and horses jumped over the last ditch at the same time, Nikan seemed to really see a wall advancing towards him.
Facing a group of thieves, he still had the courage to fight to the death; but facing a wall, Nikan could only sigh.
He put the waist knife on his neck and sighed: "Manchu people are born of fairies and raised by gods in Tianchi. As a Manchu clan member, how can I die in the hands of thieves? Even if I die, I can't let the intruders do it."
proud!"
The sharp blade had just cut half of Nikan's neck, and drops of blood flew out. The cavalry of the Dashun Army had already rushed in front of him. Although there were only a few hundred horses, the cavalry of the Shun Army were so close that they could rub shoulders.
At a glance, it looks like an army of thousands of cavalry.
Nikan's sword, which he was about to use to kill himself, couldn't help but tremble. At this crucial step, he was unable to make a move. But what happened immediately surprised Nikan even more.
The Dashun Army's three wall cavalry... actually divided into several groups, spread out to the left and right, and directly bypassed the last position where Nikan was...
Nikan suddenly looked back and finally saw the regent and the white-armored soldiers he longed for.
The human wall of two white flags has appeared nearby, and they are arranged in a long line that is more loose than the army. A large number of infantry have already filled the Qing bow and stringed the heavy arrows. Due to the long and long bow of the Qing bow,
In this shape, there will be a two-stage draw feeling when the bow is opened at a long draw distance.
The soldier with the white flag was the first to release his power from the string pad, and the energy was transferred from the second half of the bow to the arrow. He roared loudly!
"Fire the arrow——"
"Fire the arrow——"
"Fire the arrow——!"
The elite soldiers of the two white flags all wear barrel wrenches and long arrows. The barrel wrenches are made of non-slip moose antler material. Although the shape and structure are simple, every corner, bell mouth, waist and bun mouth are exquisite.
, very suitable for heavy bows with long string lengths that can be used for heavy sawing.
