Chapter 258 The first battle(2/2)
The more than 200 people around Li Meng were like hedgehogs. The outermost part was full of soldiers with weapons, and the cavalry could not be approached easily. In addition to the small group formed by Li Meng, there were four or five similar teams that gathered spontaneously on the battlefield to fight against the Tatar cavalry there.
Not only the soldiers from Jiaozhou Camp gathered spontaneously, but the cavalry of the Qing army were also shouted and gathered together by the leaders below, forming cavalry teams of different sizes and attacking these temporarily raised infantry teams.
However, this time it was not so easy to rush. Not to mention that it seemed that outside the steel jungle, there was no threat of bows and arrows, the soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp stood steadily, but in this state, it was not the array of teams standing in the squad, and the hasty people could not completely stop the cavalry rushing in from outside.
The Tartar cavalry occasionally rushed in. Everyone outside thought that the group that had gathered hastily was about to be dispersed. Who would have thought that as soon as the cavalry entered, they were hooked off the horse by axes and guns, and cut into meat paste in the crowd. Some of them rushed up and the sword in their hands was cut off from the horse by the axes that were chopping towards them.
In the big situation, Jiaozhou Camp was still at a disadvantage. Although it was a stalemate, the deployment of this Qing army was divided into waves, and almost dozens of cavalry rushed into the battlefield in one wave, just like a rising tide, constantly slapping.
The infantry of Jiaozhou Camp could not withstand the increasing pressure and impact. Even if the scattered soldiers were hugging them, they could only reduce casualties and retreat step by step under the pressure of the opponent.
Not far away, the Qing army leader who was left behind immediately stood upright. Looking at the battle situation over there, he said in a deep voice:
"These Ming troops are really difficult to deal with. They didn't collapse after rushing in like this. Moreover, there were always thousands of people behind them who didn't move and didn't go in to fight. Could it be that they were frightened, strange, weird!"
The posture of standing on the horse is not good-looking, but it is the best way to observe the situation on the flat ground. The beetle next to it is standing directly on the saddle of two horses, like a juggling actor. The skin-pocketed helmet on its head has been taken off, revealing its bald head, a piece of hair the size of the back of its head, and a slender braid. There is an appropriate metaphor for this braid hundreds of years later - the pig tail, perhaps the wild boar tail at this time.
The bee brought the pointed leather helmet again, sat directly on the horse, and ordered to the genius beside him:
"Delenha, take the rest of the people up. If you don't completely defeat this group of Ming troops, I will always feel uneasy and disperse all those standing still behind me. I don't want these young and strong mules and horses, and I will give you and Lao Hulu. If you can't defeat them, I will take the ones around me again!"
Listening to the words of his commander, the leader was a little surprised. They themselves did not notice that the name of the enemy changed from "dogzi" to "Ming Army". The leader Delenha did not continue to answer the conversation, but just "chirped" and pulled out his weapons to urge the horse to lead the team.
The scattered situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer. The infantry teams of Jiaozhou Camp combined into almost three teams, basically according to the organization in front of the array. The teams were not in a formation. They were all broken up and gradually gathered after the melee. The Tartars gradually formed a cavalry formation and continued to attack forward.
If the infantry retreated, there would be almost no place to retreat. The soldiers of Jiaozhou camp who had not moved kept lifting their guns and putting them down since the war began. However, the battlefield was too chaotic, and there was no accurate head or injury when firing alone. The intensive shooting was afraid of accidental injuries.
