Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 376
There was no turning back when he opened the bow, and Boluo felt a burst of irritability in his heart. The heavy cavalry had already started, and the impact could not be stopped.

The loud horns echoed in the narrow valley, and the heavy cavalry, accompanied by the sound of drums and horns, rushed towards the newly gathered infantry of the Ming army.The stacking method is certainly safe, but it is mainly defensive and lacks offensiveness. Therefore, as soon as the battle started, the Qing army, which had the advantage of cavalry, took the initiative, and the Ming army could only passively wait for the opponent to hit a wall.

Originally relying on the dense formation, coupled with the narrow battlefield and the limited ability of the Qing cavalry to turn around, Wang Yan was able to remain invincible with the dense forest of spears, firecrackers, and hard bows, but the appearance of the Qing army's heavy cavalry, But it changed the situation.

At this time, he saw the heavy armor attacking again, followed by more than 2000 Qingqi for cover. It was obvious that Wang Shixiu used the Qingqi to chase the heavy cavalry and bludgeoned him just now, which made Bo Luo vigilant.

Watching the entire battlefield, Wang Yan quickly thought about the strategy, and couldn't help but slapped the guardrail of the observation car with his fist, and said in a hateful voice: "I really underestimated Bo Luo, I didn't expect this guy to be much stronger than Luck Dehun , is a tricky product."

"The strength of the Qing army is higher than that of Aiqing. They also have superior cavalry and even heavy armored cavalry. However, Aiqing has been able to fight fiercely with them for several hours. He is already worthy of being a famous general in the world." Emperor Longwu was also nervous for a while, but he But he smiled and said, "I believe that Aiqing must have a way to defeat the enemy."

At this moment, hundreds of paces away, the heavy armored cavalry had already brought up full speed and rushed towards the Ming formation. I don't know how many Ming soldiers will be defeated by the enemy's cavalry, but today's battle is to put pressure on Boluo , Let it withdraw its troops from Guangdong to ensure the last fertile land of the Nanming court, even if the loss is great, it has to grit its teeth and hold on.

As long as this battle is undefeated, after Fujian falls to the Qing Dynasty, the defeat of the Ming army along the coast will be stabilized and there will be time to regroup.

Seeing Qingqi rushing towards him and listening to Longwu's words, Wang Yan swung his fist and said abruptly, "Order the whole army to sustain this attack, and victory will be ours!" , then turned around and waved various flags. "Mountain~mountain~mountain~" the captain of the spearmen once again formed a dense forest of guns, with fear in their mouths, venting their anger and roaring: "I don't move like a mountain~"

How much they hope that, like a slogan, they can be as solid as a rock and as immovable as a mountain, blocking the impact of the captive cavalry, but the heavy armored cavalry is born to break the formation.

The firecrackers and rain of arrows fired by the Ming army were the same as before, unable to stop the heavy armored cavalry at all, but the heavy armor covered by two thousand light cavalry broke through the bright formation more easily than the first time.

At this time, two thousand light cavalry, following the heavy cavalry, kept bending their bows and shooting arrows. They threw a rain of arrows in the direction of the heavy cavalry to clear the way for them. After being rushed by the heavy cavalry, blood of people and horses was mixed together, and there was a bloody mess everywhere.

The pikemen were responsible for protecting the formation. The soldiers half-kneeled on the ground and leaned their guns on the ground. Although they knew that the heavy cavalry would inevitably rush into the formation, many of them would be on the ground. In the impact of the wave, he was hit to a bloody mess, but he still refused to turn back.When the heavy armored cavalry collided with the dense formation, the soldiers of the Ming army often fell back in groups, their guns were broken, their helmets were knocked off, and there were endless screams.

When the spearmen in front are broken by the heavy cavalry, it will be more difficult for the musketeers and foot archers behind to resist the thunderous impact of the heavy cavalry!
The dense Ming army had no room to dodge, and the losses were so heavy that Emperor Longwu's face turned pale. However, casualties are something that every commander must bear. If he has a kind heart, he must not be able to lead the army.

"Reorganize the formation!" Jin Shengheng yelled again and again, and the soldiers immediately reorganized the formation. This seems to have become a habit. Even if they were rushed to pieces and it was terrible, the next thing to do was to reorganize the formation and did not run away. Say this!
Because His Majesty the Emperor and the Duke of Chu are right behind you~
The soldiers moved the loyal skeletons of their comrades to the side to fill their original positions. The spearmen were still at the forefront. As long as the gunmen and infantrymen were still able to stand up, they also returned to their original positions to fight back against the harassment of Qingqi. .

The Ming army on the right wing was penetrated easily again. Seeing this, Wang Yan's eyes turned cold, "Order Yuan Zongdi to divide the five thousand supervisors on the right wing into two teams. One team intercepts and kills light cavalry, and the other bluntly attacks heavy cavalry."

So far, this heavy cavalry has done the most damage to the Ming army, and Wang Yan must not let him rush out unscathed.

As long as enough damage is done to the heavy cavalry to make it impossible to charge again, the Ming army will not only be invincible again, but may also have a chance of victory on the battlefield.

The moment the heavy armored cavalry came out of the formation, the five thousand cavalry on the right wing, who had never fought, rushed forward. The heavy armored cavalry immediately raised their spears, ready to knock all the bright cavalry into the air.

Naturally, Yuan Zongdi would not be so stupid as to confront the heavy cavalry. The moment he was about to approach, he turned his horse's head, bypassed the heavy cavalry directly, and slammed into the light cavalry behind him, and immediately turned his back.

At this time, the vanguard of the heavy cavalry had crashed into the Chinese army again, Yuan Zongdi shouted, "Come here, I will smash all these beasts to death in the iron shell."

Yuan Zongdi's troops rested on the battlefield for a long time. Seeing that the Qing cavalry repeatedly killed and pierced the Ming formation, he took a deep breath in his heart. As soon as he turned his horse's head, he led half of the men and horses, followed the heavy cavalry, and chased them all the way up. .

Boluo in the distance saw Wang Yan dispatching the right-wing cavalry who had not moved. He was shocked. He originally thought that Wang Yan would wait for the heavy armored cavalry to pass through the central army, and then send the right-wing cavalry to chase after him like last time. , so that the heavy armored cavalry will maintain the loss at about [-] cavalry as before.

In that way, the remaining [-] cavalry can complete the final charge, but now Wang Yan uses the left-wing cavalry to break into the central army from the heavy armor, and then pursues them with blunt attack from behind. The casualties of the heavy cavalry are immeasurable .

If the number of remaining cavalry is too small, it will not be able to complete the next round of impact, and it will not be able to defeat the bright array. It is equivalent to the previous Qingqi being harassed by the Ming army's arrow rain and firearms, and all the casualties caused by it will be in vain. Boluo is absolutely This cannot be allowed to happen.

The Ming army had no other way to deal with the heavy cavalry, which was to follow behind and attack with blunt weapons. Yuan Zongdi's troops had been recharging their energy and energy, and all of them were fierce, but after the heavy cavalry charged for a while, the men and horses were already a little Tired and not as fast as the first time.

They passed through the Chinese army again, and Yuan Zongdi pursued them all the way. Many heavy armored cavalry were left behind in the Ming army formation. The knights were still on their horses, but the cavalry inside had actually been shocked to death by blunt objects. .

At this time, the heavy armored cavalry entered again from the back of the left wing, ready to flee back to the main formation, but Yuan Zongdi did not stop like Wang Shixiu, but picked up blunt weapons and continued to pursue~
