The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 388 Cavalry
As soon as Zhang Jing's cavalry rushed in, the Korean soldiers by the pier immediately fell into chaos.

There were many Korean civilians among the main Korean soldiers who came to help. When they saw cavalry rushing in and killing them, those ordinary people fled in all directions.

"Formation, formation, don't panic, our cavalry is nearby." Song Yanjun yelled sharply, drawing his sword to encourage the infantry to form formation.

Some infantrymen began to turn the carriage across, trying to block the Ming cavalry.

But the cavalry of the Ming army came too suddenly. Many infantrymen were carrying things, and they didn't have any weapons in their hands.

Rumbling, the iron cavalry in front rolled, Zhang Jing drove the cavalry, and pierced the pier like an arrow.

His cavalry has been established for several years. When he was fighting Houjin before, Ding Yi would not let him face him head-on.

The two forwards rode side by side, useless even with a bow, rushed into the North Korean infantry at the first moment, and slashed with a knife.

The former North Korean army fled in all directions, crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.

But there was a sudden sound from behind, bang bang bang, bird guns, and bowstrings.

Buckshot and arrows rained from the air.

Pieces of Ming cavalry also fell.

The war horse lost its owner and slammed into the North Korean infantry, turning everyone on their backs.

Zhang Jing didn't say a word, and felt pain in his heart.

But usually the other party has no chance to ring the blunderbuss once, and only sporadic bowstrings are still ringing.

Every time there must be a Ming army screaming and falling to the ground.

Zhang Jing was in the middle of the army. He rushed halfway and came to a group of carriages. Seeing a steady stream of cavalry entering, he waved quickly, and several cavalry came to him immediately.

"Get off your horses, push these carriages, push them out, and block the South intersection."

"promise."

The subordinates immediately understood.

To the south is the intersection leading to Xinling. North Korean cavalry is coming, so it must be over there.

"Push the fodder, push the fodder first, then grab the Korean people and push it together, prepare the flint, and light the fire at any time." Zhang Jing kept ordering, and his subordinates immediately understood.

Soon more than [-] cavalrymen dismounted, arrested the fleeing common people, and ordered them to push the wagon full of hay to the south intersection.

After more than a dozen carriages were pushed away, there was more space, and the cavalry rushed in faster.

The fighting here was very fast. The Korean infantry was vulnerable and almost collapsed by Zhang Jing's cavalry. However, the cavalry was killed and injured by the bows and arrows of the Korean army. The cavalry lost more than 70 people. An officer was furious and chopped down a lot of Korean surrendered soldiers with a knife. Fortunately, Zhang Jing stopped him immediately.

At this time, more than 400 surrendered soldiers were captured, and more surrendered and escaped. More than 300 were killed by the Ming army.

Yuan Youcai asked Zhang Jing, what about surrendering troops?
Zhang Jing looked up at the North Korean warship that hadn't left in the distance: "The officer who ordered the resistance just now cut it down, and the others pushed into the river."

"promise."

So more than 400 surrendered troops were dispersed by the Ming army and jumped into the Han River one by one.

Jiang Jinxin, who was in the distance, saw it, cursed loudly, and hurriedly ordered the boat to meet him.

At this time, Zhang Jing asked someone to clean up the scene, and was soon reported that there was a lot of gunpowder.

He thought for a while, not thinking about what to do, but thinking, what would Master Ding do if Master Ding was here?
With Lord Ding's open and aboveboard fighting style, well, I understand.

Soon, Zhang Jing said with a smile: "Each person takes a small bag, and the others are pushed into the river."

Everyone was puzzled, but they did it anyway.

Then Zhang Jing said: "All the fodder is burned, not a single cart is left, even the carts are burned, and the mules and horses are driven away."

After so many vehicles are burned, even if North Korea organizes food transportation, it will not be easy to find such vehicles.

Someone asked again, should the food be burned?

Zhang Jing thought for a while, but still shook his head.

Ding Yi also didn't want to maim North Korea, just force them to surrender.

"Burn all the carriages."

In this way, the food is piled up directly at the dock, and there is no car. Why can’t every North Korean cavalry put a bag on their horses and take it away?

They had just pushed the gunpowder into the river and burned the carriage. Someone in front reported that the cavalry came from the south.

"Let's go." Zhang Jingdao: "Take away the wounded, the brothers who died in battle, put them here first."

There is no way right now, everyone can only follow suit.

Booming, Zhang Jing gathered the remaining soldiers and horses, and headed east.

They came from the west, and it was estimated that there were also pursuers in the west, so he chose to go east.

But just after running two miles to the east, I saw a large tree at the intersection ahead blocked the road after being cut down, and densely packed North Korean infantry guarded there.

It turns out that there are only a few roads here, Zhao Yanhu had previously sent people to set up obstacles on the roads to prevent Ming cavalry from coming to rob the road, this road here has just been set up, and there are a thousand infantry guarding here.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jing just ran here.

If there were no cavalry chasing behind, Zhang Jing would directly command the soldiers and horses to rush over, but right now he dared not charge, and he didn't know how many infantry were here, for fear of being surrounded by a large number of infantry.

"Let's go." He thought for a while, and without hesitation, he turned his head and went back to the pier.

At this time, the cavalry in the south was being blocked at the intersection in large numbers, and many carriages and fodder in front were on fire, and the North Korean cavalry cursed one after another.

Zhang Jing laughed loudly, and the two sides cursed at each other through the flames.

"Go, go back." Zhang Jing waved again, and everyone ran back along the way they came.

At this time, many people may know that when they go back, they will probably encounter another group of cavalry.

If there were no cavalry behind them just now, it proves that the Koreans are useless in fighting.

Of course not.

Zhang Jing led more than 900 horsemen back less than ten miles away, and saw a black mass of cavalry coming from the opposite side.

Zhang Jing's expression also became serious, he slowly pulled out his saber, looked to the left and right: "We meet on a narrow road to win, break this group of cavalry, let's go back and support Lord Ding."

"Break them." All the generals shouted and drew their swords.

Everyone looked at each other, as if telling everyone to take care of each other.

"Spread out." Zhang Jing gave an order, and the cavalry slowly spread out. Many cavalry ran to the fields beside the road, and the vegetables and wheat on the ground were trampled to the ground.

Of course, Zhao Yanhu on the opposite side also saw the cavalry of the Ming army. At first glance, the soldiers and horses were far inferior to him, and he was ecstatic in his heart.

"I found it, surround them, and kill Ming Kou."

The North Korean cavalry also barked wildly.

The cavalry on both sides were speeding up, and the sound of cavalry's iron hooves hitting the ground filled the sky and the earth, like thunder rolling in the sky.

The earth was shocked, and the sun and the moon were darkened.

More than 3000 horses from the two armies confronted each other, and the scene was extremely shocking and turbulent.

Zhang Jing raised his knife and shouted: "Kill."

"Kill!" Nearly a thousand cavalrymen of the Ming army yelled together, and then almost without stopping, everyone shouted: "We must win."

"Master Ding will surely win."

"Dongjiang must win."

There were one after another on the field, and the huge momentum spread throughout the field, shaking the entire Han River.

The two sides are getting closer and closer.

Zhang Jing suddenly bit the knife on his mouth, and many Ming soldiers also imitated Zhang Jing.

The North Korean cavalry on the opposite side looked inexplicably strange.

Zhang Jing reached out and touched the back of his waist.

Whoosh, whoosh, the first few rows of the Ming army flung up one after another.

Countless black spots flew over in the air.

The cavalry's charge boosted the momentum, and these flying axes came like lightning, and they fell into the Korean cavalry formation one after another.

"Ah!" Many North Korean soldiers fell off their horses one after another.

With a bang, a small number of North Korean horses also fell, and the rear team collided and fell again.

The forward Korean cavalry was a little confused.

When they were in chaos, rumbled, Ming army cavalry plunged straight into their chaotic formation.

Everyone at the scene turned on their backs, iron and blood collided fiercely, and cavalrymen charged bravely. Only the bravest warriors can win.

The two sides confronted each other, and the Ming army had the upper hand. Countless Korean soldiers and horses were knocked down, and a large number of cavalry fell off their horses.

Because Ding Yi brought a thousand cavalry, and all the cavalry wore iron armor.

In Ding Yi's army, because of the low output, everyone has not yet had a share in the iron armor. The priority is to assemble the blunderbuss, and then change the equipment according to the battlefield situation.

Like today's battle, on Xinling, the armor of the gunmen was given to the spear and shield soldiers.

And everyone has a share in their cavalry.

Many Korean cavalry do not have chain armor, let alone iron armor, most of them are cotton armor, and some even have no armor.

As soon as Zhang Jing's soldiers rushed in, they immediately gained the upper hand.

The two sides fought back and forth with swords and guns, and the most fallen were the North Korean cavalry.

Zhang Jing rushed in the middle by himself, when he suddenly heard the sound of bowstrings coming from behind the air, he lowered his head subconsciously.

Then I felt as if I was hit by hailstones, and there were jingling sounds.

His armor was specially made like Ding Yi's, and it had relatively strong defense. Five or six arrows shot at him, and only one arrow stuck in it, but it obviously didn't go deep into the flesh.

He raised his head, pulled it hard, and threw away the arrow, and the horse rushed into the North Korean army.

Whoosh, the other side slashed at him.

He bowed his head violently in a conditioned reaction, swiped, and the light of the knife slashed across his head. There were soldiers behind him joining the battle, and he continued to charge forward without looking back, and slashed at the front with the knife.

The North Korean soldiers on the opposite side also waved their knives.

When, the two directly received the knife in mid-air.

Beng, the North Korean soldier's knife snapped at the sound, his body trembled, and he almost fell off his horse.

Zhang Jing swiped with his backhand, Chi la, the blade sliced ​​across the man's neck.

With a splash, the North Korean cavalry fell to the ground.

"Protect General Zhang." A soldier shouted behind him, rumbled, several horses rushed up, surrounded Zhang Jing, Dang Dang Dang, beating everywhere around, some people fell down from time to time.

"There is no retreat." Zhang Jing swung his knife and shouted.

"There is no retreat." The Ming army shouted loudly, once again overwhelming the more than 2000 Korean cavalry at the scene.

Zhang Jing looked up, and the North Korean cavalry in front of him spread out to both sides like the wind blowing, and the Ming army cavalry rushed in like arrows, directly tearing their dense formation in half.

From time to time, two cavalrymen fell to the ground and screamed, and there were all kinds of angry shouts and shouts of killing.

He couldn't help being a little excited.

This is the first time he led the cavalry in a bloody battle with the enemy on a large scale. As Ding Yi said, cavalry training is not easy, but it must be practiced in actual combat.

First fight against weak soldiers like North Korea, gain experience, and fight bloody.

At this time, although the Ming army was few in number, they had a relatively large momentum. Relying on the strength of their soldiers, the North Korean cavalry was in chaos and broke up on both sides.

Seeing that they were about to charge through the cavalry in front of them, the North Korean army suddenly cheered in unison.

Looking back, Zhang Jing's expression changed greatly: "Not good."

Zhao Yanhu's second group of cavalry, [-] cavalry, appeared behind them.

This group of cavalry had just been stopped by the fire, and now they have passed.
