The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 764 Cavalry vs Cavalry

Li Zicheng asked again: "How many soldiers and horses are there, and how far are they?"

"More than 20 miles away." The sentry said: "Yo Wanqi."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was still so far away.

But the sentinel rider also ran back, so Wanqi would not run slowly.

Of course, sentry cavalry is faster, but Wanqi cavalry will not be so fast, and they must maintain their formation, so everyone estimates that the distance is at most about half.

Wait, what was that noise just now?Sound close?

It turned out that one mile away from their army, there was a Ming army pier, and there were people on it, and it was the people on it who were sending the signal.

First there was a signal, and then they saw fireworks on the pier in the distance, and a black smoke rose into the sky.

Li Zicheng and the others were furious. When they came all the way from Xuanfu just now, all the piers, including many guards, were not guarded by the Ming army. Unexpectedly, outside Datong Town, there were still Ming soldiers who dared to guard.

"Gao Yigong, you take five hundred soldiers and horses to attack that fortress." Li Zicheng said angrily.

Gao Yigong had no choice but to order five hundred soldiers and horses, but he also ordered two ladders.

Niu Jinxing was in a hurry: "King Chuang, you can't do anything, you should retreat to Shaanxi first."

Gu Junen, Liu Zongmin and others also dissuaded her.

Hearing that the Ming army had arrived more than ten miles away, Niu Jinxing and the others were in a hurry.

Li Zicheng also lost his temper for a while, and was persuaded by Niu Jinxing and others, thinking that it was only a dozen miles away, so it was really not suitable to attack the city.

"Let's go." Li Zicheng shook his head unwillingly and sighed.

He hated Ding Yi and wanted to take revenge on Ding Yi, but the Ming army came too fast, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Bai Guangen and the others who were preparing to attack the city in the distance were overjoyed, so they didn't have to die in vain.

But just when they were about to withdraw their troops and stop fighting Datong.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" resounded the sound of horns on the city wall of Datong Town.

Then the south gate of Datong burst open.

Hush, boom, a large number of infantry battalions of the Ming army walked out of the city gate neatly.

Li Zicheng and others were dumbfounded when they saw this.

We stopped attacking the city, but the Ming army left the city instead?

Li Zicheng was shocked at first, and then became angry from embarrassment: "The dog officer bullied me?"

Look down on me, Li Zicheng?I deliberately came out to pick a shirt.

"Your Majesty, no, the Ming army wants to delay the time." All the generals grabbed Li Zicheng's horse rope one after another.

Now anyone who is an idiot can see that the Ming army went out to fight in the city to stimulate Li Zicheng and delay time.

Of course Li Zicheng also understands this truth, but the officers and soldiers are too deceitful.

"Tiger." At this moment, the other side began to roar.

The Ming army took shape line by line, shouting nonstop.

After several consecutive "tigers", the morale of the officers and soldiers increased greatly.

Sudden.

Someone on the opposite side shouted: "Capture Li Zicheng alive."

Then they gathered together and shouted: "Catch Li Zicheng alive."

"Catch Li Zicheng alive." Thousands of troops roared like a tsunami, and the sound shook all directions.

Li Zicheng's face turned pale, and his anger reached the extreme.

The Ming army challenged him again and again, and he couldn't bear it.

"The Ming army only has 4 cavalry, and our [-] soldiers will be afraid of him." Li Zicheng said angrily, "Liu Zongmin and Wang Weiguo, you two should each bring [-] elite cavalry to protect the left and right flanks. If the Ming army's cavalry attack, Break it with one blow."

"No." The two replied one after another.

"The rest of the army will break the city with me." Li Zicheng decided to leave 3 cavalry to fight the Ming cavalry, and another [-] people to break Datong in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Yuan Zongdi and Li Guo were not here at this time, and were arrested by Ding Yi.

Otherwise, Yuan Zongdi and Li Guo will remind him immediately that Ding Yi's cavalry is very powerful, and they can't beat the same cavalry at all.

Li Zicheng insisted on going his own way, couldn't stand the stimulation, and decided to break the soldiers and horses of Datong in front of him.

"Look, my lord." Suddenly Gu Junen said in surprise.

The generals turned their heads, and black smoke rose into the sky from the southeast.

You don't need to guess to know that the Ming army is using the pier to communicate.

But Li Zicheng didn't care, he gave an order, and the whole army marched up, ready to gather and fight against Datong's soldiers and horses.

Just as his vanguard cavalry slowly accelerated, gradually opening the gap between the [-] cavalry.

"Run." Datong soldiers and horses on the opposite side suddenly roared again, then turned their heads and ran into the city.

"..." Li Zicheng and the others were speechless.

The invading cavalry who were speeding up stopped one after another, and the cavalry who followed behind did not know why they stopped suddenly, and some of them had no time to brake, and almost hit the front.

Li Zicheng was stunned for a long time, his nose was almost crooked, and finally choked out a sentence: "Are all Ding Yi's subordinates as shameless as him?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The Ming army fought like a child's play, just came out of the city, and suddenly ran back.

One moment, it seemed that he was going to have a decisive battle with Chuang Jun, and the next moment, he retreated into the city again.

Li Zicheng laughed angrily.

But because his soldiers and horses were afraid of being bombarded by the cannons at the top of the city, the distance was relatively far, and it was too late to rush over now.

Wang Weiguo, Niu Jinxing and the others looked unhappy.

The Ming army was obviously delaying time, and once in and out, they fooled the Chuang army again.

Just now they built the ladder, and they finally finished it. When the Ming army came out, they threw the ladder away, and then the Ming army entered the city again, and they had to pick up the ladder again.

It's like being played by a monkey.

"Report—" At this moment, the sentry cavalry came again from afar.

"The Ming army has thousands of riders, five miles away."

The sentry cavalry looked panic-stricken, and he also ran back from five miles away, and the cavalry of the Ming army must have followed closely. At this time, everyone was in place, and they could faintly hear the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes trampling the ground in the distance.

"Good job." Li Zicheng was being played around like a monkey, and he couldn't bear it long ago.

"Gather the whole army, break this Ming army, and then go back and take care of Datong." By this time, Li Zicheng was still thinking about taking care of Datong.

Li Zicheng gathered more than 4 elite riders.

Bai Guangen and Liu Zongmin were on the left, Chen Yongfu and Wang Weiguo were on the right, and the Chinese army was all Chuangjun.

On the two wings, Liu Zongmin and Wang Weiguo looked at Chen Yongfu.

More than 4 cavalry stood in front of Datong Town, facing south, waiting in full force. The rear army was Gao Yigong, and Gao Bian, who was about to attack the pier, was called back to prevent the soldiers and horses in Datong Town from coming out.

Li Zicheng is still good at fighting, so he quickly arranged the formation.

And wait for work with ease.

After about a while, the hoofbeats of Yuan Nian's horses became louder and louder, and after a while, a large group of cavalry appeared on the horizon.

The [-] riders from the Gechun tribe arrived first, and they returned to Baoding at Lugou Bridge, then went from Baoding to Shanxi, and then came from Hunyuan Prefecture.

In fact, they came closer than Li Zicheng.

But why you arrive late is because you have to wait for someone.

In order not to scare the snake away, and at the same time achieve the complete annihilation of Li Zicheng, Ge Chunzai and others.

After Ge Chun's [-] cavalry arrived at the scene, they immediately stopped two miles away from Li Zicheng.

The two sides watched from afar.

Li Zicheng was not in a hurry. The Ming army was a little far away, two miles away, and he didn't want the cavalry to waste horsepower.

He felt that the Ming army would take the initiative to attack.

Unexpectedly, Ge Chun didn't move when he arrived.

Then, bang, bang, more than a dozen fireworks shot up from Ge Chun's subordinates.

Li Zicheng and the others looked at each other with a bad feeling.

After a while, another big wave of cavalry appeared from behind Ge Chunbu.

This is the [-] cavalry from Ma Tao's department, who came from Weizhou, and Ge Chun waited for him, and he followed Ge Chun all the time.

Therefore, the Chuangjun sentry cavalry could only see Ge Chun's department, but could not see Ma Tao's department behind Ge Chun's department.

After the two armies joined forces, Ding Yi's cavalry had reached [-].

These are all real cavalry, who originally participated in the Battle of Marco Polo Bridge, each armed with two wheel-wheel guns.

On the contrary, Zhang Jing and Yuan Youcai's cavalry, who rushed over from Lushun, did not have two men.

The [-] cavalrymen are the earliest and longest cavalrymen in Lushun.

Both Ma Tao and Ge Chun were born in Ding Yi's own soldiers, and they were promoted and reused.

The two came together and looked at each other.

"You left me right?" Ma Tao laughed.

"Let's go." Without hesitation, Ge Chun patted the horse lightly.

Then the two waved at the same time.

"Wooooo!" The Ming army blew the horn of attack.

"Here we come." Li Zicheng was also ready to move.

"Let them charge first." Li Zicheng has experience here, let the officers and soldiers charge first, and lose horsepower, after all, there must be a full two miles between the two sides.

They began to move slowly, and the whole army slowly pressed on.

Li Zicheng's army has been in the field for a long time, and he thinks he has rich experience.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army was Ding Yi's people, and in terms of insidious and underhanded actions, they would only be worse than them.

What's more, these two chief officials are people who learned from Ding Yi's side.

Sure enough, the Ming army was also slowly pressing, and the speed was very slow.

So on the huge battlefield, a very strange scene appeared.

The Ming army and the Chuang army were slowly pressing forward, and everyone did not speed up.

Now Li Zicheng was completely at a loss, and watched helplessly as the two sides slowly entered within a mile.

This distance is the most suitable distance for the horse to sprint at high speed.

almost simultaneously.

Both sides are waving.

"rush."

"accelerate."

"Tiger."

Both sides are shouting, with a strong voice.

The cavalry battle between the two sides officially began.

Ding Yi's 4 vs. Li Zicheng's [-].

Rumbling, the sound of galloping war horses soon resounded on the battlefield.

The horses on both sides rushed forward like a tide.

Fang Xinghan, who was watching the battle from Datong Town, could clearly see that the horses of the Ming army were still not running fast, but Li Zicheng's was speeding up non-stop.

Fang Xinghan had a weird smile on his face. The high-speed horses are not easy to control. Li Zicheng's army is an elite team. Don't you understand this truth?He thought that the opponent was infantry, and he would collapse with a single charge?
Of course Li Zicheng and the others knew about it, but horse charging is also a tactic.

They have a large number of soldiers. If they rush to open the Ming army at the fastest speed and cut the Ming army into two parts, it may be easier to fight.

But in their accelerated sprint, they found that the opponent did not speed up crazily.

And, suddenly.

There was a roar in front of the Ming army, and someone waved a flag.

Rumbling, the entire Ming army slowed down, and their formation became more and more dense.

Chuang Jun didn't know what the Ming army was doing, but he felt that the formation of the Ming army was becoming more and more compact, and a large number of Ming troops gathered together.

The Ming army in the front row stopped, and the Ming army in the back row moved forward.

The [-] Ming troops were close together.

All the Chuangjun didn't know what the Ming army was doing.

At this time they had rushed to the Ming army, 100 meters.

80 m.

70 m.

The two sides are getting closer.

Li Zicheng frowned. It was difficult for the cavalry to rush through the densely packed infantry. Now that the Ming army used the cavalry as infantry, they were so closely packed together that it would be too difficult for them to break through the Ming army.

But now they have no way out, they can only rush forward.

"Wind..." Someone suddenly shouted from the Ming army.

Then all the soldiers saw an incomparably spectacular scene.
