(PS: It’s June. If there are no accidents, this book will be finished at the end of the month, and all mysteries and answers will be revealed within the month! Please ask for the last monthly pass and the last reward for this book.)
In front of the fat army's central army, the treacherous cavalry could no longer withstand the fat army's counterattack. Although the horn bows in their hands could easily shoot 80 meters, the fat army's muskets could not be accurate after six to seventy meters. Even the gunners of the Fat Man Army didn't know where the guns flew, but they couldn't hold back the Fat Man Army's muskets, nor the Fat Man Army's strong bows that could also shoot 70 meters.Thousands of muskets of various types plus thousands of strong bows, the bullets and arrowheads were as dense as hail and raindrops. The raped soldiers, basically composed of only married sons, still shouted and couldn't hold back, and the fat soldiers who fell from time to time The mother-child artillery shells, the more unstoppable treacherous cavalry naturally began to retreat steadily.

Seeing such a scene from a distance, Zhou Peigong couldn't help feeling anxious—it was the first time since the Battle of Anshun that the Qing army's cavalry broke through the Wu army's rocket blockade and rushed to the front of the Wu army's formation. I am so sorry for my ancestors and my kind.At that moment, Zhou Peigong did not hesitate, and asked Kang Mazi to send a supervisory team to the front to supervise the formation, while holding Kang Mazi's golden arrow in both hands, rushing towards the front of the Qing army. Cavalry.

When he got to the traitorous team and took a closer look, Zhou Peigong quickly found that these traitorous cavalry were not charged. Still arguing with Lang Tan, the first-class bodyguard who supervised the battle, he insisted that the fat man's weapon was too sharp, and the treacherous cavalry's charge was just suicide and death in vain, and asked to meet Kang Mazi to discuss and adjust tactics; Lang Qin didn't dare to offend too much These traitorous Taiji, who were basically related to the wild boar skin family, did not dare to disobey Kang Mazi's will, so they could only desperately persuade the traitor Taiji to charge immediately, arguing bitterly.Zhou Peigong was even more anxious, he rushed up and yelled at the golden arrow, "By holy order—!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." The slave education of the Qing court was also excellent in brainwashing the treacherous army. When several treacherous Taiji saw the golden arrow, they quickly gave up their disputes and knelt down and kowtowed together.

"My lords, the servants are here to speak on behalf of the master." Zhou Peigong said loudly: "I will not talk too much nonsense, the servants just want to tell you one thing, yes, you are now timid in front of the battle, you choose to run for your life or even choose to fight for your life. Wu Gou surrendered, you can indeed keep your sex! But have you ever thought about it, if you surrender to Wu Gou, the Qing Dynasty is defeated this time, can you keep your glory, wealth and your beautiful wives and concubines?"

"Mongol lords, you all know very well that besides cattle, sheep and wild horses, what else can the Mongolian grassland produce?" Zhou Peigong continued to ask loudly: "The food you eat, the tea bricks you drink, and the silk and satin you wear. The gold, silver and jewels you wear, and even the iron arrowheads you use to shoot wild sheep and rabbits, didn’t they come from the Han people? Didn’t the Qing court snatch them for you from the Han dogs? If the Qing Dynasty was defeated, Who would give it to you for nothing? Exchange your cattle, sheep, and horses for Han dogs? But if you exchange them for Han dogs with big cattle, sheep and horses, is it worthwhile to directly grab them from Han dogs?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Peigong paused for a moment, and then asked several treacherous Taijis: "Mongol princes, please think about it, if the Qing Dynasty was defeated and the Han Dog regained the world, would the Han Dog Emperor Will he give you the taxes and property he collected from the Han Dog people? Will the Han Dog Emperor marry his daughter and sister to you? Did the Han Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty marry a princess or princess to you? Mongolian princes? Did you give any of you glory and wealth? The former Ming and Han dogs gave you nothing except for several Northern Expeditions, murder and arson on the Mongolian grasslands, which brought you endless suffering? But our Qing court , and how did you treat you? Your Fujin wife, which one is not a noble daughter from our clan in the Qing Dynasty?"

"Mongolian lords, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!" Zhou Peigong's voice was choked with sobs, and he said in a crying voice: "There are only more than 200 million people in Mianzhou and Mongolia, but there are tens of millions of Han dogs. If we Mitezhou people and Mongols are separated, it will be like a handful of pepper noodles. If we throw it into the sea, it will be gone. Can we do it if we don’t unite? You have also seen that the Han dog Lu Yifeng is going to fight this time. Who is doing filial piety? It is for the filial piety of those Han dogs that were killed when we entered the Qing Dynasty, and we muster up all our energy to avenge those Han dogs!"

"When we entered the Qing Dynasty, did your Mongolian Eight Banners kill fewer Han dogs? If we finished the Qing Dynasty, would you be able to escape? That dog thief Lu Yifeng, whose heart is darker than coal and more poisonous than a poisonous snake, would let him go. Have you the princes of the Mongolian Eight Banners? Will you let the sons-in-law of the Aixinjueluo family go?!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Peigong also knelt down on his knees to the traitorous Taiji, kowtowed and cried loudly: "My lords, this is what I said out of my heart, I beg you, the Han dog's rockets are about to run out. , it is dangerous for you to rush forward, but you can fight for the last hope for the Qing Dynasty and for yourself! If the Qing Dynasty is over, you will not be able to run away!"

Zhou Peigong's words finally moved a few traitors. Chahun, Ejier and other traitors thought about it carefully, and felt that Zhou Peigong's words were indeed very reasonable. If Mite Qing was defeated, they would be saved. It is absolutely impossible for the old Wu traitors who won the Central Plains to try their best to win over them like the Qing court did, and they may even settle accounts after the fall and investigate their crimes of colluding closely with the wild boarskin family to poison the Han people.The only way is to unite with the Qing Dynasty and jointly suppress the counterattack and liquidation of the Han people against the Qing Dynasty, so as to preserve their glory, wealth, and titles and salaries.

Thinking of this, the treacherous Taiji exchanged glances with each other, got up together, and shouted at the treacherous soldiers next to them: "Reform the team immediately! Charge immediately! Wu Gou's rockets have been used up, rush up and kill them!" Light Wu dog, grab money, grab food, grab women!" The traitorous soldiers obeyed the order, while Zhou Peigong was so excited that he wailed and kowtowed to several traitors, repeatedly saying please.

When the remaining [-] treacherous cavalry lined up to charge again, the infantry of the Qing army also started to move. They were divided into two teams led by Dong Weiguo and Cai Yurong. Calling on the infantry of the Qing army to charge bravely and fight to the death with the fat man's army, Dong Weiguo and Cai Yurong said together that they were determined to attack and would rather die than retreat.Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai and other old treacherous and cunning people quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it would be best to win this battle. Bao Bao, the remaining Mite Qing cavalry also had great hope to protect Kang Mazi and retreat, and cross the river to escape for his life at the ferry in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

"Lu Yifeng dog thief, your Wugou cavalry is not moving, I know that you want to save your mobile power and use it to hunt down the defeated soldiers of your master." Zhou Peigong still said proudly in his heart: "But it doesn't matter, if you don't move, I will help you You don't move, I want to see Uncle Zhou, what tricks can you play this time?!"

………………

At the same time, Fatty Lu, Wang Shaobo, and Yao Qisheng were also keenly aware of the tactical changes of the Qing army under the banner of the Fat Man Army. The cavalry charged with all their strength against the infantry in the middle of our army, fighting against each other, and the cavalry was full of dogs as a trump card to find opportunities for combat."

"It's not just for this purpose." Yao Qisheng said with a sneer: "There is also a purpose to facilitate the retreat. If the battle is unfavorable, the most mobile and loyal Mangou cavalry can protect the Mangou Emperor to retreat to the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Cross the river at the ferry and escape for your life."

Fatty Lu nodded slightly, and said, "The only way to get rid of Kang Mazi is to bite the dog-filled Chizhou cavalry so that they can't retreat quickly."

"General, how about letting our cavalry attack, avoiding the dog infantry, and getting mixed up with the dog cavalry?" Yao Qisheng asked tentatively.

"No!" Fatty Lu vetoed it categorically, and ordered firmly: "Immediately order the cavalry on the two wings to retreat to the north and south respectively, and wait for orders five miles away! When you see the fireworks signal, launch an attack and return to the battlefield to fight!"

"Let our cavalry retreat to avoid the battle?" Yao Qisheng and Wang Shaobo were shocked, and quickly reminded: "In this way, our Chinese infantry will have to bear the impact from the whole army alone!"

"Only in this way, Kang Mazi will put the last full dog cavalry into the battlefield!" Fatty Lu didn't even bat an eyelid, and immediately ordered one after another: "Erlang, send someone to send an order to send all the rockets out! There is no need for one left, and there is no chance for the Rockets to play in this battle. Then send someone to Han Daren to order him to wait five miles away from the Huai'an battlefield, wait for the fireworks signal, and then launch an attack!"

Xiao Erlang, the oldest lackey under Fatty Lu's command, immediately arranged for messengers to deliver orders separately, while Yao Qisheng and Wang Shaobo looked at each other, admiring Fatty Lu's ruthlessness and decisiveness. Consuming the stamina and horsepower of the infantry and cavalry soldiers of the Qing army, and launching a general attack when the cavalry and infantry of the Qing army are all exhausted, the hope of annihilating the main force of the Qing army and capturing Kang Mazi alive is also greatly increased. Once the infantry could not withstand the onslaught of the Qing army, Fatty Lu himself, who was in the middle army, would have to die in the hands of the Qing army.

The orders were conveyed separately, and the rocket array of the Fat Man Army moved forward again, blasting out the remaining more than 3000 rockets in one breath, weakening the treacherous cavalry team as far as possible.At the same time, Gao Dejie and Gao Hongchen's two-winged fat cavalry led by brothers did not say a word. Before the slow-moving Qing infantry could reach the front, they turned their horses and retreated to the north and south respectively, temporarily leaving the battlefield - the tactic of Lu Fat It was tantamount to leaving the danger to himself, and giving the Gao brothers the opportunity to kill Kang Mazi and establish a world-class feat, and the Gao brothers were naturally very willing to obey.

Amid the sound of rumbling explosions, the cavalrymen who charged intensively turned their backs on their backs again, once again their bodies were smashed to pieces and their flesh and blood splattered, but this time some of the cavalry had already rushed to the front of the Fat Man's formation, and it was too late for the Fat Man Rockets to line up and expand their rockets. The coverage area can only be fired in a hurry, so the rocket bombardment effect this time is obviously not as good as the previous one. At least [-]% of the treacherous cavalry rushed past the rocket coverage of the fat army.

The gunpowder smoke was gradually blown away by the wind. When a large number of Mongolian cavalry rushed to the front of the fat army, the infantry of the fat army pushed the empty rocket carts to the front to form a temporary anti-horse fence. They all cheered like thunder, knowing that the three good rockets that the Fatty Army was the greatest threat to the cavalry were finally used up.But when they saw the cavalry of the Fatty Army retreating from the battle, Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai, the good friends, changed their expressions together.

"Why did Wugou's cavalry escape?" Kang Mazi's reaction made Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong almost vomit blood. Seeing the fat cavalry fleeing without a fight, Kang Mazi laughed out loud, "A failed scholar is a failed scholar, Lu Yifeng is a dog thief His ability to command troops is also very average, seeing that his ghost rockets are exhausted, and the most important cavalry team left him and ran away, we will definitely win!"

"Master, the Wu dog cavalry didn't abandon the Lu Yifeng dog thief to flee for their lives, they were saving their mobile power." Tu Hai said tremblingly: "The Lu Yifeng dog thief was afraid that our infantry would bite his cavalry, so he took the initiative to order him The cavalry retreated to avoid the battle, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow!"

"Really?" Kang Mazi's next words made Tuhai and Zhou Peigong vomit blood again, "Then hurry up and send an order to Dong Weiguo and Cai Yurong, let them pursue with all their strength, and must bite the Wugou cavalry!"

"Master, can our infantry catch up with Wugou's cavalry?" Zhou Peigong almost cried, and explained: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief temporarily took his cavalry out of the battlefield in order to let his cavalry preserve their strength and the strength of their horses. , otherwise, it is impossible for his infantry to catch up with our cavalry."

Kang Mazi's pockmarked face rarely turned red, and only then did he realize that he had said something stupid - how could a two-legged infantry catch up to a four-legged cavalry?Immediately, Kang Mazi quickly laughed and covered it up: "I'm just joking with you, why are you nervous? In your opinion, what should our army do next?"

"I can't help it." Zhou Peigong gritted his teeth and said: "Master, please issue an order immediately, let the two generals Dong Weiguo and Cai Yurong lead the infantry to continue to advance, outflank and attack the two wings of the Wugou infantry phalanx, and attack the Wugou infantry phalanx with all three sides. If we can kill Lu Yifeng's thief before Wu Gou launches a full-scale counterattack, we will win!"

"Wu Dog's back is against the east gate of Huai'an, what if Lu Yifeng's thief escapes into Huai'an City?" Kang Mazi asked worriedly.

"Lu Yifeng's thief will not flee back to Huai'an City, and he does not dare to flee back to Huai'an City!" Zhou Peigong said with a sly smile: "The main force of Wugou's infantry is attacked on three sides. As the commander of the entire army, if he escapes into Huai'an City, Wugou The morale of the main force of the infantry immediately collapsed, and they were not far from death."

"Then why are you still standing there?" Kang Mazi roared: "Su Lun, immediately send the guards to pass on my oral order to let Cai Yurong and Dong Weiguo attack Wugou's two wings, and the Mongolian cavalry to attack Wugou's central army on three sides! Capture Lu Yifeng's thief alive , Feng Wang!"

After the fat man's army and the Qing army's tactical adjustments were in place, the most brutal and bloody battle since the establishment of the fat man's army also took place outside Huai'an City. The infantry and the treacherous cavalry attacked from the front, and the Qing infantry attacked from left to right. The bows and axes in the sky were so dense that they almost completely covered the sunlight. The soldiers from both sides fell down in rows. People turned on their backs, and blood flowed like rivers.

The [-] infantry of the Fat Man Army are arranged in such a way that every [-] infantry forms a small square, and the [-] small squares on the periphery form a large square, and the four small squares in Zhongzang serve as the reserve team. In the middle of the four small squares are Fatty Lu's [-] pro-army and [-] Rockets.The Qing army was attacking from three sides, and the main force was the thirteen infantry phalanxes of the Fatty Army in the east, south, and north. Both sides in the north and south were infantry. The Fatty Army could still hold it, but the east side suffered too much. Mengjian is not only good at bows and arrows, the effective range exceeds the muskets of the Fat Army, and it is also very advantageous in melee combat. It can directly chop off the heads of the infantry of the Fat Army from a high position, while the Fat Army can only fight with their heads up. Therefore, when the Fat Army temporarily builds a thin layer After the thin anti-horse fence was destroyed by the treacherous cavalry, the front of the fat army was in a hurry.

A more severe test is yet to come. Tuhai, who was not favored by Kang Mazi, volunteered to come to the front line to command, commanding the Mongolian cavalry with all his might to attack the middle third of the five square formations in front of the Fatty Army, and the partial divisions to attack The two Fatty Army phalanxes on the side acted as a check, and more than [-] treacherous cavalry semi-surrounded the Fatty Army's third phalanx, launching wave after wave of terrifying charges, rushing to the front and condescendingly slashing at the Fatty Army soldiers Although the soldiers of the fat army counterattacked with all their strength, they had no choice but to attack too hard. The casualties were extremely huge, and the range of the phalanx had to be gradually reduced.

During the melee, Yang Ming, the deputy general of the Fat Man Army who commanded the third formation, was killed in battle and was shot by six arrows. The deputy general Wang Laixing was also shot in the face by a stray arrow less than a stick of incense before he took over the command. Zhang Wancheng took over the command, but less than half of the [-] fat infantry in this phalanx were left, and they were compressed to the point where soldiers were fighting back to back. The treacherous cavalry rushed past them and quickly surrounded them. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yao Yi, the Fat Man Army's team that came to the rescue, quickly formed an formation on the spot and continued to fight to the death with the treacherous cavalry.

At the same time, the superior number of infantrymen of the Qing army also put enormous pressure on the left and right wings of the fat man's army. Dong Weiguo and Cai Yurong, two hardcore traitors, went into battle shirtless to boost morale. The troops violently attacked the central phalanx on the two wings of the Fat Army, and broke through to the depths of the Fat Army at all costs. When you draw the bow and release the arrows, your arms are as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and you will never retreat. The battlefield is full of the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the sound of grenade explosions and the screams of dying soldiers. The battle is so fierce that it is impossible to write and ink describe.

The most critical frontal third formation was finally broken by the traitorous cavalry. Zhang Wancheng, a guerrilla of the Fat Man Army, was besieged by a dozen traitorous cavalry. They were completely dispersed by the treacherous cavalry, besieged and massacred by treacherous soldiers several times larger than themselves, only a small half escaped to the friendly formations on both sides, and continued to fight side by side with their companions, desperately resisting the attack of the treacherous soldiers. The Yaoyi phalanx behind them It was also surrounded by treacherous cavalry regiments, and was compressed to shrink continuously.

In addition, the third formation on the left wing of the Fatty Army was also breached by the die-hard traitor Cai Yurong and his son. Inside the military phalanx, the fat man's infantry was attacked from both inside and outside.In addition, the right wing of the fat army phalanx, which was in charge of the entire festival, could not bear the desperate impact of the Qing army, and was forced to shrink inward. The first line of the fat army phalanx was riddled with holes, and the second line began to suffer threaten.

In the face of such a fierce battle, Fatty Lu not only kept his composure, but also flatly rejected the request of Wang Xu, Hu Tongchun, An Jiarong and other fierce generals to fight, and ordered Wang Xu to continue to strictly restrain the three fat soldiers next to the city gate. Hu Tongchun restricted the remaining three phalanxes inside the big phalanx, and An Jiarong stayed by his side honestly, not allowed to move without orders.

It’s not that Fatty Lu wants to keep the elite reserve team and Gao’s brothers and Han Daren to take credit. At least one to one point five or even more casualties must be paid, and the other phalanxes of the Fatty Army still have strength, and they can launch a counterattack at any time to encircle the Qing army that broke through into the large phalanx of the Fatty Army.Fatty Lu kept several elite troops of Wang Xu, Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong for a very simple purpose, that is to prepare to face the last elite cavalry of the Qing army - if he does not kill the last [-] cavalry of the Qing army, he wants to capture them alive Or it would be extremely difficult to hack Kang Mazi to death.

Therefore, the Qing army should not say that it wiped out the three fat man phalanxes, even if it wiped out six fat man army phalanxes, Fatty Lu would never send out the three teams of Wang, Hu, and An—these most reliable elite infantry It's all gone, what else can Fatty Lu do to resist the full impact of the elite cavalry?

Sacrifice and hard work will always pay off. In the binoculars, I saw the treacherous cavalry break through the frontal third formation of the fat army and enter the interior of the fat army formation. Kang Mazi was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and ordered the rest The cavalry of the Qing army charged with all their strength to chop off Fatty Lu's head.Kang Mazi's confidantes such as Zhou Peigong, La Bu and Shang Shan saw at a glance that Fatty Lu was trying to lure the enemy with no good intentions, so they kowtowed desperately to stop Kang Mazi, and warned that the fat cavalry was still watching from a distance. There is also a brigade of Fatty Army infantry on guard, who may go to the battlefield at any time. If Kang Mazi puts the last 6000 or so Qing cavalry reserves into the battlefield and fights them into exhausted soldiers, then Fatty Lu only needs to give an order, and the Fatty Army When the new force came from the north and the south, the fun of the Qing army would be over.No matter what he said, he finally caught Kang Mazi.

After all, the traitorous cavalry was severely weakened by the three good rockets of the Fat Army. In total, only more than 9000 traitorous cavalry actually rushed in front of the Fat Army. With the continuation of the battle, the rapid increase in casualties, the huge consumption of soldiers and horses, the weakness of the treacherous cavalry's insufficient strength is gradually exposed, it is difficult to cause fatal danger to multiple fat army phalanxes at the same time, even if it is given No matter how old and cunning Tu Hai was, no matter how experienced he was, he could only suggest that the traitorous Taijis concentrate their remaining troops to besiege Yao Yi's phalanx. Army casualties.

Seeing the fatigue of the raped team, Fatty Lu looked at the left wing of his own army, and found that most of the infantry of the Qing army led by Cai Yurong had penetrated into the middle of the inner and outer lines of the fat man's army. The phalanx is surrounded by dog ​​infantry, close the door and beat the dog!"

The flag was played, and the left wing of the Fatty Army immediately changed formation. The second and fourth squares moved closer to each other, while the first and fifth squares moved diagonally inward, joining forces with the inner line to encircle Cai Yurong's army on all sides, and the speed was not slow. Cai Yurong, a die-hard traitor with rich experience in the battlefield, found that the situation was not right, and it was too late to break out of the encirclement. In desperation, he had no choice but to order the troops to move closer to him, and hastily formed a circle to resist the attacks of the fat army from all directions. At the same time, he sent messengers to Kang Mazi. call for help.

The encirclement was formed almost in an instant. The fat infantry surrounded Cai Yurong's team with knives, knives and arrows, fighting frantically. Most of the infantry of the Qing army who were separated from the encirclement were the soldiers left by the hard-core old traitor Cai Shiying to his son. Bullying the common people and eating cards on the canal are handy, but charging into the battle is seeing that the bloody legs are weak.

As a friend said, Fatty Lu's military advisor Yao Qisheng and Kang Mazi's military advisor Zhou Peigong are indeed equal opponents, but the two army commanders, Fatty Lu and Kang Mazi, differ in terms of impromptu command and tactical arrangements. It's not just 01:30.Seeing that the treacherous cavalry's attack was blocked, and receiving the news that Cai Yurong's army had been locked up and beaten by the fat army, Kang Mazi couldn't hold his breath anymore, and roared: "The Qing cavalry obey the order, all the Qing cavalry will attack with all their strength! The target, the Wugou infantry formation is frontal!"

"Master! No way!"

Zhou Peigong jumped out to stop him again, but Kang Mazi lashed Zhou Peigong's face with a horsewhip on the horse, causing Zhou Peigong's face to bloom, and his handsome face was destroyed on the spot. Kang Mazi shouted with bloodshot eyes: "What the hell are you? Eat my salary, or Lu Yifeng's salary? This is our last chance to kill Lu Yifeng's thief alive in the Qing Dynasty. You still come to stop me, are you afraid that I will cut Lu Yifeng's thief? I gave you money in the dark?"

After retreating Zhou Peigong, Kang Mazi drew his sword and pointed at the front of the fat man's army and roared, "Shanpuying and Qianfengying leave escorts, Labu and Shangshan, you two lead all the Qing cavalry to charge! Take down Lu Yifeng Heads of dog thieves, I will make you Prince Heshuo! I will reward you with double salaries! You will be rewarded with twelve East Pearls!"

"Why are you still standing there? If you don't obey the order, you will be executed immediately!"
