East Factory Governor

Chapter 745
The impact of the Jingwei in the Western Regions caused the Ming army to lose more than 20 artillery pieces, which is not a heavy loss.

One must know that Qin Shuhuai has only more than 60 skilled red-clothed gunners in his hands. Although there are spares, their accuracy and rate of fire are not as good as skilled artillerymen.

Why are there so few skilled artillerymen?Because it wasn't long before Qin Shuhuai got the cannon in red!There are only [-] cannons, ten of which arrived before the expedition, which means that there are only [-] for him to train in the early stage. It is not bad to be able to train so many skilled gunners.

But the price paid by the other party is even greater!
Except for the dozen or so elite guards from the Western Regions, the Mongolian cavalry had completely collapsed at this moment because they had lost the best opportunity to withdraw from the battle circle.

Should they go or not, what awaits them is a massacre!Don't forget, this army is composed of the Jianghe Gang, Demon Sect Soldiers and Gansu Soldiers who have survived many battles!

They are a group of tigers and wolves, and they will never leave any chance for the enemy who made mistakes!
Five thousand Mongolian cavalry, more than half of the casualties now!

The Ming army only lost more than 1000 horse infantry and less than [-] cavalry!
Zhang Xiao's eyes were already red. Qin Shuhuai entrusted him with such an important task of protecting the artillery, but he lost one-third of it all at once. How the hell would he deal with it?
There is one way, and that is to let all these Mongolian cavalry account here!

When it was time for the Mongolian cavalry to leave, Zhang Xiao had already commanded the troops to quietly form an encirclement circle.

Now, about [-] horse and infantry surrounded [-] Mongolian cavalry, and about [-] Ming army cavalry were cruising around the periphery of the encirclement. Once a Mongolian cavalry broke out, they would immediately go up and hunt them down.

The encirclement circle of the Ming army was like a meat grinder, frantically grinding the flesh and blood of the Mongolian cavalry.

One after another, Mongolian cavalrymen fell off their horses and were subsequently stabbed into a hornet's nest.

At the artillery position in the rear, Zhang Xiao was slaughtering in an orderly manner.

But the battle ahead is not so easy!
East of Tai'an City.

Meng Wei rushed to the back of Lai San'er's troops with [-] troops to assist in the defense, but before he had time to set up his formation, he was confronted with [-] ambush soldiers who had just arrived.

The Tartars ambush to the east of the city, and the leader is the young Hauge.

During his first Southern Expedition, he beheaded the main general of the Santun Camp of the Ming Army, and easily captured the Santun Camp.In the second Southern Expedition, he led troops to defeat Zu Dashou and easily captured the Santun camp, so he had a psychological advantage against the Ming army.

Hauge was full of ambition, and as soon as he arrived at the city, he got in touch with Meng Wei, who arrived almost at the same time!

No one had time to set up the formation, so they started fighting directly!

Hauge thought that he could quickly break through the opponent's defense line, and then cut the opponent into several pieces, nibbling away piece by piece—just like those veterans taught him, this method is enough to deal with the Ming army.

But now he was surprised to find that although they rushed over with great momentum and the soldiers' butcher knives were sharp, the Ming army was not afraid at all.

Not even a frown!
As for their formation?
It can be described as motionless!
You must know that he brought all the elites of the Eight Banners!He couldn't even shake the opponent's line of defense!
After resisting a wave of shock from Haoge's department, Mengwei's department immediately launched a counterattack!

They are in groups of three or six, assisting each other in defense and attacking together.

After being surprised for a short time, the Eight Banners soldiers did not show weakness, and set off an even crazier counterattack.

Knives and guns, swords and spears are flying, intertwining and colliding in the light snow!

The pure white snowflakes are often dyed red by the flying blood before they hit the ground.

One after another Ming army soldiers fell, but one after another elite Tartar soldiers were also killed.

Mengwei's 1 men resisted Haoge's [-] elite Eight Banners soldiers. It might not be able to gain any advantage, but it was by no means left to be slaughtered.

It's like a life-and-death struggle between a tiger and a lion. If you bite me, I will give you back!
The era when the Eight Banners soldiers could easily ravage the Ming army in the wild has long passed!
Look, Daming has no shortage of good men!

Look, Daming also has sharp minions and violent blood!

At this time, about [-] Tartar soldiers also rushed out from the east gate in order to achieve a pincer attack with Hauge's troops, and rushed towards Lai San'er's defense line.

The one thousand Tartar elite cavalry rushed in the front. They wanted to rush first and disrupt the opponent's formation.

But the one who rushes first will always have to pay the price!
When they rushed to more than 200 meters away from the Ming army's position, they entered the range of the Ming army's strong archers.

The eight hundred Jianghe archers are the first to show their strength. They all draw strong bows. Who told them that they are powerful as martial arts people?

Whoosh, whoosh, a salvo, eight hundred arrows, brought down fifty or sixty Tartar cavalry.

It is inevitable that the cavalry behind will be blocked as soon as the cavalry in front falls and rolls their horses.

In this way, the cavalry charge slowed down a bit.

This is normal, but in front of this Ming army, it is very fatal.

Now they are only more than 100 meters away from the Ming army's position, and their speed has dropped!

Therefore, Jianghe Gang's copycat Raging Fire Flag and Qingshui Flag can go wild as much as they want!

In Lai San'er's team, there are 300 fire flags and 300 clear water flags. Qin Shuhuai equipped him with so many because he wanted him to repeat the new tactic he accidentally discovered when he attacked Yongping City—throwing them on the battlements from a high platform. Thunderbolt and spray green Gongshui.

I didn't expect it to be right.

The fire flag is the first to show off its power!
Throwing 300 fire flags in one round is 300 thunderbolts. The power is no less than [-] rounds of Frang machine shells, and the accuracy is much higher than the shells!

Hurrah!One by one, the thunderbolts with their fuzes drawn graceful arcs, as if they had eyes, they headed for the densest place of the Tartar cavalry!

Boom boom boom!There was a sound of explosions like spring thunder hitting the ground, and every explosion caused mud to splash, and the splashed mud was mixed with broken limbs and thick blood mist!
The violent explosion not only turned the Tartar cavalry on their backs, but also frightened the horses, and many of them ran around.

On the one hand, there are horses running around, and on the other hand, there are a pile of corpses of horses and soldiers lying on the ground. How can the cavalry charge like this?

It can only be slower and slower, and some cavalry horses even fight in circles, which makes him a living target!

Boom!Boom!
Explosions seem to be everywhere!

Whoosh whoosh!Whoosh whoosh!
There are as many bows and arrows as locusts!
Piece after piece of Tartar cavalry fell down before they rushed to the Ming army!
But they possessed an astonishing willpower. After a brief period of confusion, they quickly adjusted and dispersed their formation to charge towards them.

It has to be said that the Tartar cavalry has amazing qualities!

At the same time, the archers of the Tartars in the rear also showed their power, and the area of ​​focus was naturally the Agni Banner.

Qin Shuhuai naturally focused on defending the treasures of the Raging Fire Banner.Almost at the same time that the opponent's archers had just left the city (Lai San'er's troops were 500 meters away from the city wall, all the archers of the Tartar city leaders were useless), more than 300 shield soldiers had already stood beside the fire flag.

The Tartar archers hurried into the range, and as soon as they released the arrow, a large shield immediately lifted up!

The Fire Banner was almost undamaged!
However, this at least suppressed the firepower of the Agni Fire Banner, making the Tartar cavalry's charge much smoother.

When they entered the 50-meter zone, they confidently and angrily raised their shining sabers.

Now, it was the turn of Qingshuiqi hidden in the crowd to show his power.

They are already ready.
