The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 129 The Brave Wins
Zhu Linmi's face, which was extremely pale due to physical exhaustion, suddenly became bright, and Jianlu was dismounting to rest. This is an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack!
He immediately ordered the whole army to line up and prepare to attack.

The raiders under Li Chengdong all survived the perennial encirclement and suppression by the government and army, and their vigilance is simply higher than that of rabbits. Even when they are resting, there are always more than 20 people patrolling around the periphery.

In fact, before the alarm sounded, Li Chengdong felt the weak tremor on the ground and stood up.At this time, when he heard the sound of the trumpet, he immediately threw away the dry food in his hand and got on his horse, shouting loudly for his men to form formation.

I don't know whether it was Durd or Nushan who came.He was extremely puzzled, why he had already caused the soldiers to gallop desperately, but was still overtaken by them.

How did he know that all the soldiers of the Dragon Guards had to go on cross-country runs for ten miles, and the hussars were no exception.Coupled with the excellent food supply, the physical fitness of every soldier can stand out from the crowd in this era.Although they have marched for five or six hundred miles in a hurry in recent days, it is far from reaching the limit of their physical strength.

As for the Lancers under Tie Dake's command, they were also the most elite troops of the Polu Camp.Although they were a little physically exhausted at this time, they all gritted their teeth and persevered under the encouragement of Chen Wang's spirit of leading by example.

It was such a cavalry team that forcibly caught up with the remnants of the bandits under Li Chengdong, who claimed to be "the most able to run".This is the miracle of rigorous training and high morale!
Soon a scout arrived on horseback and reported to Li Chengdong that a cavalry sentinel was forming a formation at the rear. There were about 500 people, and they should be the Ming army.

Li Chengdong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, as long as it wasn't Durd and the others, a small Ming army was not enough for him to take it seriously.

He raised his eyes from a distance, but he saw a neat queue suddenly appearing nearly two miles away. The tassels on the helmets of the soldiers were arranged in a straight red line. After that, it became even more imposing.

It was the same as the Ming army uniforms that followed him yesterday, and the feeling of uneasiness emerged in Li Chengdong's heart again.

He shook his head vigorously, turned around and shouted loudly: "Brothers, cheer me up, and when this Ming army is repelled, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Zhen Zhen pointed to the cavalry in the distance and said to Zhu Lin: "Your Highness, the formation of Jianlu has also been completed."

Zhu Linmei frowned and nodded, Li Chengdong's reaction was indeed fast enough.

In history, this guy was able to follow the Manchus from Nanjing to Guangxi, killing two Nanming emperors, and it really wasn't just luck.

Since you can't make a surprise attack, let's face it head-on!There is no cleverness to use, just use head-to-head to defeat the enemy!He turned his head and ordered Tie Dake to say: "Tie Dake, divide your troops into two teams and encircle the captive army from the left and right wings!"

"The end will obey orders!"

Tie Dake cupped his fists to accept the order, and then called out the Lancers under his command to line up on both sides of the central army.

"Your Highness, the number of bandits is no less than ours." Zhen Zhen hurriedly said, "Why should we divide our forces when we concentrate all our efforts on a duel with them?"

Zhu Linmi shook her head, "It's not enough to just defeat the thieves, you must wipe them all out here!"

Zhen Zhen nodded in thought, and said: "Iron Leopard's men are best at attacking the enemy head-on, so let him be in the middle..."

"Tieqian Headquarters has not much physical strength left, let the Dragon Guards attack the front."

After Zhu Lin finished speaking, she drew out her spring wheel pistol and ordered in a loud voice, "Forward!"

"Forward!" Hundreds of dragon guards immediately shouted in unison with him.

On the opposite side, Li Chengdong couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw that the Ming army had divided into two centurions to attack the two wings.

He was very confident in fighting the Ming army head-on, but now the Ming army has less than 300 people in the middle, and he has overwhelmed all the more than 440 cavalry in the front.

In this way, as long as the front of the Ming army is broken, when his main force turns around, the units on the two wings of the Ming army will become fish on the chopping board.

"Looking for death!" He sneered and slowly drew out his saber, pinched the horse's belly, and shouted, "Follow me!"

Two cavalry consisting of hundreds of people charged in a row like two strong bison, billowing dust behind them, slowly but unstoppably approaching each other, waiting for the moment of a crash.

The speed of both sides is gradually increasing from slow.Even the best military horses can only maintain a full-speed sprint of fifty or sixty steps. Therefore, cavalry always approach in small steps when charging, and save the highest speed until the final stage of approaching the enemy.

About [-] steps away from the enemy, Zhao Shichao shouted: "Fast forward!"

The speed of the Dragon Guard cavalry suddenly increased again.

So far, the training gap between the two sides has been reflected.Li Chengdong's formation has begun to change into a wavy line, while the Longwei Army's line is slightly inclined, but it is obviously still a straight line.

When they were sixty steps away, Li Chengdong was the first to draw the clear bow in his hand—this was the most advanced weapon that his master had allocated to him after he surrendered.

This kind of bow is long and reversely curved. There is a string pad at the root of the bow tip. The bow body is made of horn, wood, tendon, etc. It is a compound recurve bow with complicated craftsmanship. It is small in size but has a great pulling force. It can be said to be a cold weapon. pinnacle work.

However, even Durde's authentic Jianzhou cavalry can't open their bows as fast as the spring wheel, not to mention Li Chengdong's men who are half-way monks.

At the same time, the Dragon Guards on the opposite side also raised their spring-wheeled guns.

The people on Li Chengdong's side had just put the arrow on the string and before they could pull it away, they heard a burst of explosions in front of them, and nearly thirty Qing soldiers fell head-on.

There was almost no gap, and the Ming army fired another round of firecrackers.This time the distance was closer, and more than 50 soldiers were shot!

Damn it, how fast is this evil firecracker? !Li Chengdong was almost stunned. If one of his confidants hadn't blocked a lead bullet in front of him just now, his life would have ended here.So he leaned carefully into the saddle, waiting for the next salvo.

What he didn't know was that the hussars of the Dragon Guards only had two spring wheel guns each, and it was extremely troublesome to reload after these two guns had been fired.

Until this time, Li Chengdong managed to release a row of arrows, but under the influence of the two salvos of the Longwei Army, it was completely inaccurate.

Since both sides had plans to decide the outcome, they approached each other extremely fast, and there was no time to shoot again.

"charge!"

"Kill me!"

Shocking roars erupted from the cavalry phalanx of both sides at the same time, and each drew their sabers and cavalry swords.

The two "bison" are getting closer, two feet, one foot, three feet, one foot!
The narrow road meets the brave to win!

Although Li Chengdong's subordinates were all blood lickers for many years, they all instinctively chose to dodge the sharp blades approaching at high speed, and the saber in their hands inevitably shifted.

However, the Dragon Guards relied on strict training, and the movements of hundreds of cavalry were exactly the same, neatly like one person, which was the simplest and most effective move of "stabbing the chest with the sword".

But everyone concentrates on aiming at their enemies, and the movements that have been trained thousands of times are extremely accurate!
