Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 107 tragic
"Whoo~"

The door was pushed open from the outside.

A group of soldiers in armor walked in.

"Report to Xu Shuai, in the battle outside the city, my Ming won a complete victory."

The room fell silent for a moment, and then everyone in the room became excited.

Even Xu Da smiled slightly, finally waiting for good news.

However, after the messenger finished speaking, Xu Da looked at the crowd, looked left and right but did not see Guo Ying, and then asked, "Where is General Guo? You have won a big victory, why don't you come back and report back?"

"Report to Xu Shuai, General Guo was seriously injured, and now he is in a coma, and the military doctor is treating him." The visitor did not dare to neglect, and quickly told the news that Guo Ying was unconscious.

Xu Da frowned slightly, and said, "Tell me the details of this battle!"

"Yes."

It wasn't until the messenger told the whole process of the battle slowly that the people present understood how dangerous the battle was.

In order to maximize the power of the fusiliers, Guo Ying personally led the fusiliers, blocked the only way for the cavalry on the opposite side, and directly used the fusiliers to fight against the Mongolian Eight Banners and Guanning Iron Cavalry.

It has to be said that the rewards are relatively large. After all, Guo Ying's order to the Fusiliers was to shoot horses and not people. The effect of the first few rounds was very impressive.

It was not until the cavalry on the opposite side went crazy, regardless of casualties, they rushed straight to the fusiliers, and even the Manchu cavalry who stepped on their horses and fell to the fusiliers also attacked the fusiliers. All horse shooting situations.

When Guo Ying saw that the enemy was rushing over regardless of casualties, he also promptly released a signal to the cavalry. A large number of cavalry from Daming did not know when they went around the rear of the opposite side. Daming iron cavalry was one side, directly blocking the Meng Eight Banners and Guanning iron cavalry.

Afterwards, the tragic fight began. Meng Ba Banners and Guan Ning cavalry were aroused fiercely, and rushed towards Guo Ying's position regardless, while Daming cavalry charged directly behind Meng Ba Banners, catching the opponent by surprise. It can be regarded as beheading many cavalry on the opposite side with a very small loss.

It's a pity that the 3000 fusiliers led by Guo Ying didn't have such good luck. After how many rounds of shooting, they were finally rushed up by the cavalry. A charging fusiliers led by Guo Ying lost at least [-] People, this is the case when many cavalry on the opposite side have turned their horses and turned back to attack the Daming iron cavalry.

Otherwise, more than 3 cavalry charge, and one charge is enough to kill almost half of the 1 people.

Guo Ying, who had survived the first round of charge, finally saw the right moment, directly pulled a Manchu soldier off his horse, got on his own, ordered the fusiliers to retreat, and at the same time merged with Daming's iron cavalry.

In this way, the two groups of cavalry officially began to confront each other. Although the Ming Dynasty had the superiority in numbers, its individual strength was still not as strong as the soldiers of the Manchu Qing who came out of the grasslands and deep mountains and old forests.

Even in the past few months, all the officers and soldiers have been trained to fly faster than the other side, but Guo Ying still has a second hand, so Xu Da arranged for the [-] soldiers stationed outside the city to guard the main road. infantry.

In this way, the large groups of cavalry kept colliding, and the damage caused by the fusiliers to the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry in the early stage was still there. The Ming cavalry still firmly held the upper hand and began to encircle and suppress the Manchu Qing cavalry.

The time was spent in the fierce fighting between the two sides, and it didn't end until it was completely dark. On the contrary, as time went by, the two sides collided more fiercely. More than half of the Mongolian Eight Banners had already been killed and injured, and there were only a few of the more than [-] Guanning iron cavalry left. More than two thousand people.

I just don't know how Wu Sangui will feel when he knows that there are less than 2000 of his last [-] Guanning cavalry left.

The [-] Daming iron cavalry under the cover of the fusiliers and infantry did not lose much. According to visual inspection, more than [-] people were lost. As for how much was lost, specific statistics can only be made after the war.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, Guo Ying already had the idea of ​​avoiding the battle, but he didn't know that the cavalry on the other side seemed to be crazy, and they didn't retreat. crazy.

You must know that when the cavalry charge after dark, the enemies you kill may not be as harmful as your own people, but the situation has reached such a point, Guo Ying can only force himself to continue fighting with the Meng Ba Banners.

It wasn't until the sky began to light up that more than 3 cavalry were completely wiped out on the battlefield. Guo Ying also fell off his horse at the last moment. Looking carefully, Guo Ying's whole body was covered in blood. Not to mention how many wounds there were.

As for Guo Ying's last thought before falling off the horse, it was, "I was careless, I should have asked Xu Shuai more for some Fusiliers." '

Guo Ying fell into a coma, and that's why Guo Ying didn't come to report in person, but Guo Ying's subordinates came to report the military situation to Xu Da.

"How about our army's losses?"

"Report to Xu Shuai, the fusiliers team lost 130 people, and most of the brothers were lost in the first charge on the opposite side. After the fusiliers team dispersed according to General Guo's order, there was no big loss. Damaged."

"More than [-] cavalrymen died in battle, and the number of minor and serious injuries has not yet been counted."

"Crack~"

The corner of the table in front of Xu Da was directly crushed by Xu Da. The cavalry is considered a treasure in the Ming Dynasty. Even the encirclement and suppression of Li Zicheng last time did not lose so many cavalry.

"Where's the infantry?" Xu Da's voice was as calm as ever, and no emotion could be heard. If Xu Da hadn't subconsciously crushed the corner of the table, no one present would have noticed that Xu Da was already furious.

"Infantry killed 380 six people, slightly injured 640 five people, and seriously injured 150 six people."

"Why is the loss of the infantry far lower than that of the fusiliers and cavalry?" Xu Da asked.

"Reporting to Xu Shuai, the infantry was arranged by General Guo at the outermost periphery, and was mainly responsible for finishing the battlefield, in case the enemy leaked it. As for minor injuries and serious injuries, most of them were caused by our own inadvertence in the dark. The general led the cavalry to attract most of the opponent's attention, and even led the fusiliers as a bait to trap and kill a large number of cavalry, so that the infantry was not attacked by the opponent's cavalry. Bigger."

"The strength of the cavalry on the opposite side is far superior to that of Li Zicheng's cavalry before!"

"Okay, I see, you go down, pay attention to Guo Ying's side, and let him come to see me after he wakes up." After Xu Da understood clearly, he waved away the visitor.

"Yes." After saying that, he saluted before exiting the room.

"Everyone, it seems that we have underestimated the opponent because of the previous reasons. If the opponent sends more cavalry this time, I am afraid our cavalry will be killed by others."

Xu Da said with some self-deprecation, he was indeed careless, he did not expect that the strength of the cavalry on the opposite side was far superior to that of Li Zicheng's cavalry, if he hadn't carefully arranged the fusiliers and a large number of infantry outside, this time, Guo Ying might have been directly Confess with fifty thousand Daming iron cavalry on the battlefield.

"Xu Shuai is not to blame for this matter, but everyone did not expect that the strength of the cavalry of the two sides would be so different." Liu Bowen said softly from the side, and he also did not expect this matter.

"Yes, Xu Shuai is not to blame for this matter."

"Yes, I can only say that Li Zicheng's subordinates are too good-for-nothing, they just gave us an illusion."

"Okay, a mistake is a mistake. It caused a lot of deaths and injuries to Ming soldiers, but it was all my fault. If I had been more cautious, if I had brought more cavalry over at that time, what happened today would not have happened. When this battle is over, I will give His Majesty a report, and this matter will stop here, everyone, think about how to arrange it next!"

"When the other side knows that all their more than 3 cavalry were killed in the first battle, I am afraid they will not attack the city regardless of casualties."

Xu Da stopped this meaningless debate, wrong is wrong, he really underestimated the strength of the Manchu cavalry, and encircled and suppressed Li Zicheng's tens of thousands of horses, it really made Daming Wenwu feel that this world is That's all about strength, but I didn't expect that I almost stumbled here
