1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 451 Attacking Liaodong ([-])
Just when the Eight Banners Han army roundabout attacked the black-clothed bandit army's two wings from the woods, Meng Kui suddenly changed his mind and decided that he could not wait for the Han army banner infantry on the two wings to shake the formation of the black-clothed bandit army before charging head-on with cavalry.

The black-clothed bandit army on the opposite side looks like an elite force. If the Han army flag infantry on both wings cannot shake the array of the black-clothed bandit army, but they concentrate their firepower and wipe out the infantry in the woods on both sides, then only more than 50 cavalry , may not be sure to defeat the opponent's musket formation.

It's my fault that there are too few Qing troops stationed in Gaizhou City, and I don't have any extra capital to consume the few Han cannon fodder in my hand.Therefore, when Meng Kui became ruthless, he simply came up with a "Stud".Use the infantry on both wings to flank, and use my powerful cavalry to rush in with all my strength.As long as we overwhelm the opponent's army formation, let my cavalry chase and hack at will.

The front team consisted of more than 20 cavalrymen of the Eight Banners Han army. Meng Kui and his group of more than [-] Eight Banners inlaid with white flag vests followed up, with bows and arrows clasped in both hands, staring at the bandits in black ahead.

When they advanced more than 50 steps (about 100 meters) to the opponent, the Han army flag cavalry in front suddenly stopped, and several people got off their horses to move and reject the horses, and the entire charge was stagnant.

Just after the rejection horse was removed, the Jiannu cavalry recharged their energy and were about to hit the horse and gallop.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." On the opposite side, the black-clothed bandit's guns rang out.

"Shoot!" Meng Kui yelled, and shot the bow and arrow in his hand first, and then quickly pulled out another arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and shot another arrow at the black-clothed bandit formation ahead.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." When the feathered arrows shot by Jiannu flew towards the soldiers of the Qi State Marine Corps, their bodies did not move at all, they just lowered their heads slightly, and used their helmets, visors and chest plate armor to resist the incoming arrows Only, then, at the officer's command, mechanically pull the trigger.

There were several muffled groans in the formation. It was obvious that some soldiers had been shot by arrows, but before the battle, the commander had strictly ordered that the wounded soldiers should not shout loudly, so as not to affect the officers' orders and the morale of the army.In order to move freely, Marine Corps officers and soldiers have no protection for their arms, neck and lower body.Facing Jiannu's feather arrow attack, more than ten soldiers fell immediately.

Two rounds of muskets fired intensively, the left and right wings and the Jiannu charge in front stopped, killing and injuring more than [-] people.Especially the slave cavalry in the front line, more than a dozen of them were knocked off their horses. The corpses blocked the road, and the horse speed could not be raised for a while.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." When the fourth round of musket salvo fired, the flag soldiers of the Jiannu Han Army on the left and right were first defeated.Wang Lizhong lay pale behind the repelling horse made of several big trees, his eyes full of horror.The more than [-] black-clothed thieves he met earlier in Gaizhou City were firing firecrackers. Because of the small number of people, when he was observing from the top of the city, he didn't feel how amazing the power was.

But now, in the opponent's army formation, the firecrackers seemed to be firing continuously, almost without a break. The more than 60 Han army flag soldiers who assaulted on his right side had already fallen half after the opponent's four rounds of shooting.However, they hadn't reached the front thirty steps of the opponent's formation yet.Most of the dozen or so archers were shot and fell to the ground, while the rest threw down their bows and arrows in a panic, turned around and ran back.Driven by them, the sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers also turned around and fled one after another.

At this time, Wang Lizhong also ignored the strict military law of my Qing Dynasty, turned around, and ran back with the defeated soldiers.

"Dog slave!" Meng Kui was riding on the horse, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the Han army flag soldiers on the left and right flanks had already started to flee into the forest.

The more than 20 cavalrymen who rode the Han army flag in the front had all been knocked off their horses by the black-clothed bandit army on the opposite side, and their subsequent charge was also blocked by the corpses of the fallen soldiers and horses. They could not increase their horse speed and continued to charge forward. Maybe all my Eight Banners warriors will be left here.

"Advance and shoot!" Xu Chuanxing saw that Jiannu in front of him started to retreat and run away, and immediately ordered: "Catch up and leave them all behind!"

When the Jiannu cavalry turned to retreat, more than 30 cavalry were a little confused. Some clever Jiannu cavalry could not turn around in time, and simply drove directly into the sparse forest, and then slowly turned around and ran back.But more slave cavalry stopped for a while, waiting for the rear cavalry to turn around.

The officers of the Qi State Marine Corps who were in pursuit saw this and saw such a still and live target, and immediately ordered the two platoons to shoot a round of intensive volleys, immediately knocking down more than a dozen Jiannu cavalry.

"The whole army assault!" Xu Chuanxing was overjoyed to see that Jiannu's infantry were not only breaking up and fleeing, but even their cavalry began to flee backwards, and gave the order for the entire army to assault.

Meng Kui was startled and frightened when he heard the neighing of horses and the screams of armored cavalry behind him.In previous battles with the Ming army, it is not that the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have never encountered artillery bombardment and firecracker shooting from the opponent. However, as long as our Qing cavalry attack to the distance of [-] steps in front of the enemy's formation, the Ming army's formation will never fail to collapse. .Those officers and soldiers of the Ming army holding firecrackers, when they met our Qing cavalry charging into the formation, started to release firecrackers from a distance, then turned around and started to flee, and were finally trampled and hacked by our Qing cavalry.

In front of my warriors of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the firecracker is the best unit to deal with, and that thing can give those Ming troops a boost of courage on the battlefield. As for the threat, it is almost negligible.The only thing that scares me, the warriors of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, is the artillery.

But today, these black-clothed thieves did not have artillery support in front of the formation. They only fired a volley of firecrackers and defeated hundreds of Eight Banners troops, with more than half of them killed or injured.What's even more annoying is that the other party dared to chase my Qing warrior on foot.However, the continuous sound of firecrackers and screams made Meng Kui and other Eight Banners armored soldiers dare not turn their heads, and just galloped on their horses.

However, when Meng Kui and the remaining [-] Jiannu Jiaqi fled to Gaizhou City, a group of more than [-] black-clothed thieves lined up in two tight formations and stood in front of them. .

"Rush over!" Meng Kui didn't hesitate at all, put his legs between the horse's belly, held the saber tightly in his hand, and rushed towards the team of black-clothed thieves.This team of black-clothed thieves is the team they chased before to lure them out of the city. At this time, with only 30 people, they dare to stop more than 20 of my cavalry. Don't you know that I am a powerful cavalry?
"Hold on, hold on!" Wu Shangde, holding a musket, stood on the far right side of the queue, and shouted loudly: "Jiannu has been defeated. We will stop this defeated army and don't let it go back to the city!"

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

The rushing Jiannujia riders were hit by a volley of muskets, and five or six riders fell off their horses immediately, but the rest remained unmoved, leading their horses over the corpses of the men and horses in front, and continued to gallop forward.

"Second row, get ready!"

"put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

The second round of musket salvos knocked five or six cavalry off their horses. At this time, the remaining dozen Jiannu cavalry had rushed to a distance of 30 meters from the team, their ferocious faces were clearly visible, and their sharp sabers were also high. High ground held up.

"Prepare for stabbing!" Wu Shangde held the musket and pointed forward slantingly, then took a deep breath, and fixed his eyes on the Jiannu cavalry who came running.

"Kill!" A healthy horse, exhaling heat, rushed in front of Wu Shangde, pointed a long knife at him, and slashed down fiercely.

Wu Shangde twisted his waist to let the horse's head pass, and the musket moved to the side of the saber that was slashing.

With a sound of "铛!", Baduli's saber was blocked by the black-clothed thief soldier in front, and when he was about to take advantage of the opportunity to swing the knife again, he suddenly felt a heart-rending pain from his left calf. Looking out of the corner of his eye, Another black-clothed bandit pierced his calf with a firecracker with a short sword, and was pulling it out at this time.

"Ah!" Under the pain, Baduli slammed his legs on the horse's belly involuntarily, then swung his knife back and slashed at the back of the black-clothed bandit who blocked him just now.

With a musket, Wu Shangde stabbed fiercely at the crotch horse of the Jiannu in front of him, a stream of blood sprayed on his face, and at the same time, a huge force came from his back, which brought him back a few steps , and bumped into the leg of the horse running behind.

Meng Kui dodged a bayonet that was stabbed at his thigh, swung the knife, chopped the head of a black-clothed thief, knocked him to the ground, and then rushed past the enemy's blocking array and rode his horse towards Gaizhou City run wild.

However, when he rushed to Gaizhou City with the remaining four cavalry, he was horrified to find a group of soldiers in gray clothes standing near the city head and gate, holding daggers in their hands. firecrackers, staring at them covetously.

The city has been attacked!

"Let's go to Haizhou!" Seeing this situation, Meng Kui turned his horse's head and ran north without hesitation.
