Chapter 110 Cavalry
In the wilderness, the wind blows, the dust is flying, people howl and horses neigh.

Lu Xiangsheng raised his sword and rode his horse, but he didn't dare to run fast. One was to save horsepower, and the other was to maintain the formation.

He can rush ahead of the army formation, but he must not disrupt the army formation. If a row of knights cannot maintain a speed and charge, it will give the opposite Qing army cavalry a chance, and the captive cavalry will pierce straight into it like a sharp knife. Lu Xiangsheng's army formation divided it.

The shouts of the officers reminded me from time to time that groups of knights also responded loudly. They trotted all the way in a neat horizontal formation to envelop the cavalry that was rushing towards the Qing army on the opposite side.

When the distance is within [-] steps, the two sides will start to accelerate again, changing from a trot to an accelerated run. After accelerating for about [-] steps, they will launch a charge. In the last [-] steps, they will charge desperately, trying to defeat them in one battle. enemy.

…………

Viewed from the air.

In a sea of ​​armor like a red cloud, thousands of horses galloped, and a large cloud of smoke more than two miles long rose up, rolling forward like a formation of wild geese.

The speed of the two wings of the wild goose formation increased rapidly, gradually overtaking Lu Xiangsheng in the middle, and swooping towards the arrow-like blue cavalry on the opposite side.

The arrow-shaped Qing army cavalry on the opposite side also began to speed up, rolling up a puff of smoke like an arrow, rolling forward, and more than 200 steps behind them, there were two more cavalry teams, divided into left and right, obliquely. Charged obliquely, it was also like a sharp arrow, rushing straight to the two wings of Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry formation.

Zhang Cheng urged the horse under his crotch. Although Bilu Xiangsheng's central army was late, but because of the early acceleration, he could barely maintain the same speed as the left wing of the central army's wild goose wings.

However, due to being blocked by the wild goose wings on the left wing of the Chinese army, the Qing army on the opposite side rushed to attack the cavalry of the He Chenggong Department of the Han Army Banner on the flank, but Zhang Cheng could not be seen.

Suddenly, Yang Guozhu turned his horse's head around, and charged from left to right, directly rushing towards the waist of the Qing army's Jia Lazhangjing Alzin assault formation.

His relative Guo Yingxian kept roaring in a loud voice, reminding the soldiers behind him to turn around and flank the Qing army of Alzin.

Zhang Cheng's line of sight suddenly became clear. Yang Guozhu led the knights to rush eastward, but now they turned to attack from north to south, and launched a charge directly towards the waist of Alzin's front arrow formation.

He saw two hundred paces away, a group of elite cavalry of the Qing army, about five hundred, was trotting towards Yang Guozhu's troops. It was the five hundred Qing soldiers led by Lazhang Jingdandai of the Zhenglan Banner.

Dan Dai kept aiming at Yang Guozhu's men, but just as he started to speed up, he found that Yang Guozhu's men, nearly a thousand knights, turned abruptly and ran towards Alzin's waist.

He also wanted to turn around and charge towards Yang Guozhu's army, but he suddenly saw that behind Yang Guozhu's Ming army, another Ming army with nearly a thousand riders came out, but it came straight towards him.

At this time, if he rushed to Yang Guozhu's troops again, he would face the situation of being pinched by two Ming armies, so he had to continue to mobilize his horses, rush to Zhang Cheng's troops on the opposite side, and charge with all his strength.

The only hope is to break through quickly, defeat the nearly thousand cavalry of the Ming army in front of them, and then cooperate with Alzin's troops to attack the middle army formation of the Ming army.

…………

"Ding……"

Lu Xiangsheng was urging his horse and charging at full speed, when an arrow flew towards him and hit his broadsword with a crisp sound.

Seeing that there were only fifty steps left between the two sides, Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "The Chinese army separates, three-eyed gun, fire!"

"... bang... bang... bang... bang..."

The flames flickered again and again, and there were bursts of explosions. Clouds of smoke rose into the air, gradually converging into a large area, and mixed with the smoke and dust rolled up by the horseshoes, which was particularly pungent.

Following Lu Xiangsheng's order, a gap opened in the middle of the Ming army, allowing Alzin's arrow tip to pass, but what greeted him was a three-eyed gun.

At a distance of twenty or thirty steps, the three-eyed blunderbuss is a deadly weapon. If you are shot by its blunderbuss, even if you survive immediately, most of them cannot be rescued. After all, in this era, infection is not so important.

Even if the bullets did little damage to the internal organs of the body, the infection of the wound was even more tormenting. At the end of the Ming Dynasty without antibiotics, the only way to die was to wait.

Arzin was lucky not to be hit by the bullet, but the speed of the horse also dropped when the two sides intertwined and collided.

When the two sides were fifty paces apart, he threw a javelin and killed a knight of the Ming army. At this time, he swung a mace and smashed it hard, knocking down two knights one after another.

On the other side, Lu Xiangsheng almost collided with a Qing cavalry. Fortunately, Chen An was beside him, and the three-eyed blunderbuss in his hand shot directly at the Qing soldier's horse, and he fell to the ground after running two steps forward.

Lu Xiang raised his sword and beheaded the Qing soldier who had just fallen off his horse.

He roared loudly: "Kill the slave, kill..."

He rode his horse into the formation of the Qing army, and he danced the fine iron sword that weighed tens of kilograms flying up and down, either beating people or hitting the horse's head. In a blink of an eye, he cut down four Qing soldiers.

…………

Zhang Cheng roared angrily: "Rush over, kill the Tartars..."

With a "swish", a cold arrow flew past his face, and there was a "dun" sound behind him, as if it had been shot on the saddle of the horse.

Then several spears came to shoot. Zhang Cheng grasped the last third of the knife-clamping stick with his right hand, clamped the tail of the stick with his armpit, lowered his head on the saddle, clamped his feet firmly on the horse's belly, and firmly controlled it with his left hand. The reins urged the horses to rush towards the Qing army.

As soon as he heard several screams from behind him, he faced the Qing soldiers. The two horses crossed each other. Zhang Cheng was rubbing the knife and stick on the Qing soldier's waist, and a bright red liquid flew up. Fragments of the Qing soldier's armor scattered.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

The smoke rose, and there were explosions behind Zhang Cheng, and the three-eyed blunderbuss were fired, and the fire followed by explosions, forming a continuous piece.

Zhang Cheng swung the saber stick and smashed it on the head of a war horse. The horse's head burst open, and with a muffled grunt, it fell to the ground. The Qing soldiers reacted quickly.

The moment he landed, he stretched out the big ax in his hand and propped it on the ground. He used his strength to roll forward, and at the same time the big ax swept across, and the front legs of the two war horses were swept off by him, and they immediately fell to the ground.

"boom!"

Before he had time to get up, he was shot in the head by the three-eyed gun shot by the knight behind him, blood mixed with brains, flying all over.

…………

In a wilderness in the northwest of Gaoyang City, red and blue battled together, and the flags were so mixed that it was difficult to distinguish each other.

In the north is the Ming army under the guerrilla Zhang Cheng of Xuanzhen, which has just crossed with the Jialazhangjing Dandai of the Qing army. The two sides are turning their horses around and regrouping.

In the south, Jiang Mingwu, the general of Shanxi Township, was fighting with the Mongolian Dekelei's troops in the outer domain. Dekelei was very cunning.

The Mongolian cavalry under his command were divided into three teams, advancing one after the other, covering each other and responding to each other. They only rode or shot with bows and arrows. The Jiang Mingwu Department had no choice but to face the casualties and drive them far away. So that it will not disturb Lu Xiangsheng's Chinese army formation.

Only a large group of red and blue staggered in the middle, Lu Xiangsheng led more than 600 cavalry from Xuanzhen and Shanxi Towns, and fought with more than [-] cavalry from Jialazhangjing Arjin of the Qing Army's Zhenglan Banner.

Although Alzin's troops were only half of Lu Xiangsheng's, he was able to compete with Lu Xiangsheng's nearly [-] elite cavalry, which was a tie. I saw groups of Qing cavalry in blue armor, rushing back and forth in a sea of ​​red armor. Every now and then someone falls off the horse.

In the wilderness, corpses were strewn all over the ground, wailing, like the end of the world.
