Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 326
The battlefield is like toppling dominoes, a single break will affect the overall situation.

The troops of Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang, no matter how much they were opponents of the cavalry battalion, once they were attacked, they collapsed immediately.

The soldiers ran away scrambling to be the first, and could not listen to the command at all.

Immediately, like the infantry of all ages, they were surrounded and attacked the exhausted Eight Banners heavy infantry.

This time, facing the enemy from both sides, Luck Dehun couldn't help it, so he could only force Wu Sangui to save people and cover the retreat.

Looking at his violent eyes, Wu Sangui could only choose to compromise.

Tens of thousands of cavalry began to save the field.

Li Jingwu was extremely annoyed, I just made a contribution, and you dare to interrupt: "How can a cooked duck fly? I will have to watch Guan Ning's iron cavalry for a while."

So, he took the lead, led his own soldiers, and went straight to kill Guan Ning's iron cavalry. For a while, he turned in the direction of the cavalry battalion.

This behavior surprised Guan Ning's iron cavalry, and the sudden offensive made them stunned.

"It seems that I want to show them some color, otherwise we will underestimate our Guan Ning cavalry!"

Wu Sangui watched from the sidelines, the higher the value of Guan Ningjun, the more he would win over whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the Ming court.

Suddenly, Wu Sangui bent down, pulled out a short wooden stick from his boots, and said directly: "Wu Zhao, lead the barbarian Ding Tuqi, block the Ming army, and save the Eight Banners."

"Nuo—" Beside him, a general stood up and knelt down on one knee to answer.

"Remember, just taste it and give it a lesson. Don't get entangled."

Wu Sangui was worried, and reminded him again and again.

Immediately, Qianyu Qi came out suddenly, dressed in heavy armor, with a burly figure, excellent riding skills, and extremely fast.

This cavalry, named Yiding Tuqi, is the private belonging of the Wu family. Just like its name, it is composed of northern Tartars and family members, and the Wu family supports it generously.

In the case of general lack of wages in the north, each of them has a manor with hundreds of acres of land outside the city, and has no worries about food and clothing, so they are willing to die for them.

Man Qing was terrified of hearing it.

If the Guan Ning iron cavalry is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, then the Yiding Tuqi is the elite of the elite.

With the joining of the Yi Ding cavalry, the stalemate was instantly reversed, and the cavalry battalion was beaten back again and again.

"boom--"

The cavalry battalion was helpless, took out the short guns, and began to fight back.

Unexpectedly, this cavalryman also took out a firecracker, and it was a three-eyed blunderbuss, which caught the cavalry battalion by surprise.

It was the first time they encountered cavalrymen who were as ignorant of martial arts as themselves.

The other Ming troops and rogues were too poor, while the Manchus focused on riding and shooting. Only the Guanning iron cavalry, especially the Yiding Tuqi, who were Qing troops and Han people, would equip such expensive weapons.

Confused for a while, Li Jingwu could only watch Guan Ning's iron cavalry cover the Eight Banners soldiers to retreat.

No way, no matter in terms of numbers or quality, the cavalry battalion is not its opponent.

Fortunately, they are not hostile.

"Is it to save people? Or to show favor?"

Although it was a pity that the Eight Banners could not be completely wiped out, Zhu Yixi was relieved that the cavalry battalion turned the situation around and did not suffer much damage.

"In the final analysis, you still need cavalry!"

The Guanning iron cavalry, which was affected by the climate such as humidity, heat and rain, still put great pressure on them.

For the first time, Zhu Yixi felt a little powerless in the face of the superiority in numbers.

If Guan Ning's iron cavalry attacked the Chinese army regardless of all casualties, the consequences would still be unknown.

However, from the perspective of human selfishness, Wu Sangui would not do this.

Whether it was before or the mercy just now, this has been verified.

Wu Sangui can still fight for it.

However, not now, but later.

"Huh—" He breathed a long sigh of relief, and the city of Nanjing in the distance stood still.

Zhu Yixi smiled: "As of today, the city of Nanjing belongs to me."

"Bangdang-"

Zhang Fang was wearing dozens of kilograms of armor, and suddenly his legs became weak, and he collapsed unconsciously. His cheeks were covered with blood, and the smell of blood and earth made him breathless.

The horns on the helmet have long since disappeared.

He struggled to stand up, but after a long time of slashing, his limbs became weak and weak, and with the weight of the armor, he could only lie down.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream woke him up.

I saw a tartar lying beside him at an unknown time. His helmet fell off, revealing his bare forehead. The corner of his mouth kept spitting blood. An ax was deeply embedded in the armor, and it was difficult to pull it out.

"Damn Tartar, Janu—"

Zhang Fang immediately cheered up, looking at the ax beside him, he couldn't hold his sore arm no matter what.

This is, the companion lying on the side, he directly lifted the helmet, and used the horns on it to firmly nail his eyes and nose, time and time again.

After a long time, until he was out of breath, he took a big breath:

"I and my family are all responsible for the bad things you build slaves."

The military school said that the slaves in the Northeast rebelled, so the court levied taxes, and then corrupt officials levied violently, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and bandits came...

The source is to build slaves, everything is because of build slaves.

Dazed, he heard the fighting sound of his brothers, and unconsciously passed out.

"Brother, wake up, wake up—"

Suddenly, a gust of water hit his face, he opened his heavy eyelids, and saw a war horse and a lot of cheers.

"how?"

"We won!"

Hu Xinshui spoke with an authentic northern accent, and the horse under his crotch snorted. He put away the water bag and said happily:
"Get up quickly, it's good to be alive."

As he spoke, he turned him over and searched the corpse under him before continuing to search the side.

Although armor, weapons, war horses, etc. cannot be taken away, those personal belongings are allowed to be kept privately.

Often, such benefits are the privilege of the first-ever army.

The cavalry battalion and the heavy infantry battalion are the first achievements in this battle.

"call--"

Zhang Fang immediately became nervous, his face flushed red: "Brother, hurry up, help me take off the armor—"

Hu Xinshui was startled, and hurriedly helped him take off his armor, panting from exhaustion.

The strange thing is that just after taking off his armor, Zhang Fang jumped up and down like a monkey in the forest:
"With so much windfall, you can't miss it."

"You bastard, you scared me!"

Hu Xinshui cursed with a smile, not to be outdone, and acted swiftly.

It wasn't until the smoke rose that the people on the battlefield stopped.

The next job of collecting the corpses belongs to the supply unit.

At this time, on the city wall, Hong Chengchou had already predicted the outcome of the war when the Eight Banners were trapped in the quagmire and Guan Ning's iron cavalry wandered around.

As a result, more than a thousand pacesetters led by them couldn't wait to withdraw from Nanjing City and head towards Zhenjiang.

The city wall, which is more than one hundred miles wide, can neither defend nor surround it.

The Huizhou merchants watched from beginning to end, dumbfounded by the results.

Hu Ju smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I have something to do, so let's take a step first."

With that said, Shi Shi went away.

Liu Zhi, the leader of the salt merchant, was silent.

He regretted that his bowels were blue.
