The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 652 Ambush and Countercharge (for Subscription)

The cavalry advantage of the Guan Ning Army is obvious!
If it's just a large-scale mass battle, it's okay to say that with the fire support of the main infantry of its own side, the combat effectiveness of Daming's cavalry is even stronger than that of the Guanning Army's cavalry.

However, if the cavalry of the two sides confronted each other without the intervention of external forces, there would still be a gap between the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army.

Daming will suffer a lot here!

Even, if Daming hadn't bluntly used luxurious individual equipment to smooth out part of this gap, the gap would only be even wider.

Therefore, facing the harassment of Guanning cavalry, the Ming army seldom pursued them after repelling them.

However, here comes the problem. If the Ming army does not pursue them, it will not be able to expand the results of the battle, and it will not be able to truly inflict heavy damage on the Guan Ning army.

The main force of the Guan Ning army is not damaged, and after withdrawing from the battlefield, it is possible to make a comeback at any time.

This is the real crux of this battle!
Everyone is full of embarrassment.

Suddenly, someone suggested.

"How about our army jumping over Huangzhou and attacking Wuchang directly?"

"Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Army in Huangzhou is not very strong. As long as we leave a squadron on the Yangtze River, we can guard the garrison in Huangzhou Prefecture and ensure the safety of the army!"

For the current Ming Dynasty, whether it is against the Manchu Qing or the Guan Ning Army, the biggest advantage is the navy.

But He Wenxiu, who has always been cautious, has rarely come forward to express her objection.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed!"

"Prudence should be the first priority!"

"How can you be greedy for merit?!"

"If our army jumps over Huangzhou Mansion and doesn't fight now, what if Wu Sangui's reinforcements arrive in Huguang, increase troops to Wuchang Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion, and attack our army back and forth?"

"From the point of view of this general, our army should advance step by step and step by step."

"My Ming Dynasty has a huge advantage in this battle. As long as we make every step of the way, we can securely win the victory. Why do we have to fight like a wave?"

"Even if it is due to the harassment of the cavalry of the Guanning Army, my Ming Dynasty cannot make a breakthrough for a while, it is nothing more than a delay in the war, and more money and food are spent!"

He Wenxiu has always been cautious, and she is not willing to take the slightest risk!
He really wanted to quickly break through the Huangzhou Mansion so as not to delay the war, but this quick breakthrough must not be at the cost of a strategic risk.

When everyone heard the words, they also fell silent one by one, without saying a word.

Because what He Wenxiu said was good!

At this moment, a staff officer stood up and said.

"General, the students think that our army may be able to send troops to pretend to bypass Huangzhou, directly attack Wuchang Mansion, and then lure Wu Yingqi's troops to attack."

"Fight for the battle in the field, severely damage Wu Yingqi's troops, and use this to open up the situation!"

What the staff officer meant was to find a way to use strategic deception to force Wu Yingqi's troops to give up their current tactics and take the initiative to attack.

After He Wenxiu heard the words, she nodded and said.

"Maybe it works!"

"The staff group will discuss the specific details of this battle plan, and then the whole army will act according to the plan!"

……

Due to the harassment of the Guanning Army's cavalry, the Ming Army's offensive against Huangzhou Mansion has always been weak.

After attacking several times in a row, the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army disrupted the situation and were forced to give up the offensive. The Ming Army also suspended its attack on Huangzhou Mansion.

On the second day, the Ming army carried out corresponding troop mobilization according to the plan made by the staff department.

A strategic deception was made to jump over Huangzhou Mansion and directly attack Wuchang Mansion.

Wu Yingqi really hit the trick and led his troops into the battlefield, preparing to delay the Ming army's advance.

The Ming army on the front line pretended to be invincible and began to withdraw its troops, luring the Guanning army to pursue them.

Sure enough, Guan Ning's army was caught in the trap, and the light soldiers rushed forward to pursue the defeated Ming army.

After the Guan Ning army entered the encirclement, ambushes broke out everywhere, and the sound of guns and shells shook the sky.

Amidst the rumbling explosions, the Qing army who entered the encirclement was blown up and turned on their backs!
Seeing that he had been tricked, Wu Yingqi also had a frightened expression on his face, and ordered.

"Send the order to withdraw the troops!"

"Quick retreat, don't be surrounded by the Ming army!"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, the ambush soldiers of the Ming army rushed up from all directions, almost surrounding them.

Wu Yingqi didn't want to experience what ambush from ten sides is!
However, by the time Wu Yingqi realized that he was in an ambush and ordered to retreat, it was already too late.

The fine cavalry of the Ming army has surrounded the entire battlefield!

Teams of infantry also pressed up from all directions.

The infantry of the Ming army walked in a neat formation, hundreds of people formed a small square, and marched forward neatly.

The black muzzle is aimed at the front, the sharp bayonet, and the dazzling armor are all extremely eye-catching!
Wu Yingqi commanded the cavalry of the Guanning Army, trying to break out from a weak point in the encirclement of the Ming army.

However, what greeted him was dense lead bullets like raindrops.

The musketeers of the Ming army quickly fired several rounds of volleys. Amidst the crackling gunshots, dense bullets formed a barrage, causing great damage to the Guan Ning army in front of them.

A cavalryman of the Guan Ning Army, under the fire blockade of the Ming Army, fell off his horse and died miserably!

However, the Ming army's musket shooting was limited after all. After paying a certain price of casualties, the cavalry of the Guanning Army finally broke through the fire blockade of the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Guan Ning Army screamed and rushed towards the infantry array of the Ming Army.

Want to make a breakthrough!

The distance between the two sides was continuously drawn in, and the Ming army had no time to complete the remaining distance. Before the Guan Ning army rushed into its own formation, it fired another round of salvo.

However, Wu Yingqi hadn't had time to be complacent when he watched the Ming army push a few rapid-fire cannons up.

The black muzzle is aimed at the cavalry of the Guanning Army!

In the next moment, the rapid-fire cannon was ignited, and amidst the roaring sound, densely packed cannonballs shot towards the enemy in front of them.

The speed of fire of the rapid-fire cannon is very fast, and it only takes three or four shots in the blink of an eye!

Countless shotguns swept across the entire battlefield, blanking out the formations of the Guan Ning Army!

Even people and horses were beaten into pieces of blood mist!
The battlefield is full of corpses!

However, Guan Ningjun's charge continued.

Like a sharp spear, it moved towards the formation of the Ming army with an indomitable attitude.

The infantry of the Ming army had no time to shrink their formation, and they were rushed up by the cavalry of the Guanning army.

"kill!"

The piercing sound of charging horns resounded across the battlefield.

The Ming army array facing the cavalry of the Guanning Army did not show the slightest timidity. At the moment when the charging horn sounded, they launched a counter-charge with bayonet-tipped muskets.

The passionate faces made the cavalrymen of the Guanning Army feel a little shocked and faintly afraid.

The sharp bayonet pierced the horse's belly, and the terrifying kinetic energy exploded, and the Ming soldier holding the gun was instantly knocked out...
