Chapter 122 Really Victory!

This is truly an ideal cavalry charge! The terrain is open enough, and although the land beside the Wei River has been soaked with rainwater and is somewhat muddy, after being exposed to the sun for most of the day, it no longer affects the galloping of the war horses.

Of course, the most ideal thing is to have a very cooperative opponent - Li Guo's cavalry has been rushing back and forth on the battlefield for a while, and is now exhausted. The men can still hold on, but the horses can no longer eat. Many.

The horses are foaming at the mouth and are almost exhausted after this battle! Now they can't charge at all. They can only form a close formation like infantry to barely protect themselves.

But how could this group of cavalrymen under the banner of Wu Sangui give Li Guo time to complete the formation? Before he could gather his troops, they launched a charge like a landslide and tsunami!

It was not that more than a thousand cavalry swarmed forward, but that forty or fifty cavalry were used as a unit to launch wheel attacks, one after another, all rushing in the same direction. They also retreated immediately after charging, not wanting to fight, and giving up the charging comrades to the rear.

The formation continued to attack.

This is the most common tactic used by Wu Sangui's personal soldiers, the Yiding cavalry, and it is a style of play that is enough to confront the powerful Eight Banners force!

The ability of this group of cavalrymen under the command of Wu Sangui to control their horses and charge was not comparable to that of the Xibei cavalry led by Wu Sanfu. First they controlled their horses to walk quickly, then trotted, and then they went faster and faster.

Rushing out with a momentum as powerful as thunder!

The one who rushed at the front was a strong man wearing a long iron armor under a gray cloth robe. He was the same strong man who took advantage of the wind and rain that day and took dozens of cavalry to sneak thirty miles outside the north city of Tianjin, which was being besieged. Now.

Er Zheng was carrying a carbine for charging into the battle, and he was walking side by side with the Wu family knights who were dressed and equipped the same way as the Qi Ba Qi. With shouts, they were like running into a wall, and they ran straight into Li Guo's troops.

Among the teams that haven’t gathered yet!

The long spears used by the cavalry to rush into battle were all specially made. In the early years, they were called majins. The lances were soft and elastic, which could offset the rebound force of the fast-moving horseguns when they hit the target.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the production of carbines was relatively sloppy. However, knights also had a corresponding method, which was to hold the carbine between their arms and send it away as soon as it came into contact with the enemy. At the same time, they tied the carbine with a rope to prevent the stabbing.

The carbine of the human body has been withdrawn again.

The carbine held by this Wu Jiajun warrior had already been released. But with the huge momentum generated by the galloping war horse, the spear still knocked a knight from the Dashun Army's old camp off his horse! The tip of the spear came out of his chest,

The knights of Dashun Army died before they could even scream.

The huge kinetic energy of the Wu Jiajun knights who rushed into the formation with all their strength was not exhausted by the stab of the spear. Because the opponent's cavalry formation was too loose and could not stop the fast-attacking armored cavalry, they were penetrated by them.

These Wu family's armored cavalry did not have time to take back their lances, but instead drew out the short weapons on their horses. They were not swords, but slender and rough iron whips. This kind of iron whip had no edge, but the head

There is a small iron bump at the base, similar to a hammer. Any knight of the Dashun Army who is hit will suffer immediately. The strong man who leads the charge has an extremely strong arm, so that an iron whip is lengthened and heavier. When he swings it,

, the opponent who was beaten had either broken bones or vomited blood, and no one could resist it. In the chaos, he was actually killed by him through the formation.

The strong man from the Wu family looked around and saw that there were more than forty horsemen behind him. He did not want to fight. He just shouted "Follow me!" and then continued to gallop on the horse, making a circle on the battlefield and turning to where he was standing.

Behind the queue of cavalry detachments that launch attacks one after another, wait in line for the next charge!

This is actually an extremely clever cavalry tactic. It is the original version of the "wall charge". It appeared on the eastern battlefield as early as the Liao and Jin wars. It was the ultimate move of the Jurchens and Jin soldiers to defeat the Liao and Song Dynasties.

Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui's servant can actually pull off such a trick! It seems that Wu Sangui's cavalry is indeed capable of competing with the powerful Eight Banners.

It's just that the Wu family has only 3,000 servants, while the Eight Banners' powerful army has 80,000 in number. Among them, there may be tens of thousands of elites who can compare with the Wu family's servants!

Having a huge advantage in the number of elite soldiers is the greatest asset that the Qing Kingdom outside the Pass can use to conquer the Central Plains...

Li Zicheng's capital in competing for the world was also the numerical advantage of the old soldiers.

The elite soldiers of the old camp are not as elite as the Wu family's servants. However, their number is as high as 80,000 to 100,000, which is similar to the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Therefore, in the Battle of a Stone in history, Wu Sangui would not have been able to escape without the participation of the Manchurian soldiers.

Defeated and will perish.

But on today's battlefield in Tianjin, Li Guo only had 2,000 old battalion soldiers, hundreds of casualties and missing, and there were pursuers, and he was short of men and horses. How could he withstand the Wu family's cavalry who were attacking on wheels? He didn't wait for the twenty or so formations.

After the cavalry attacks in turn, the two brothers Li Guo and Li You had already fled.

Seeing that Li Guo's old battalion soldiers were rushed to pieces, they fled in panic. The "Yiding Cavalry" led by another "Wu Sangui" also became more energetic, and no longer pursued slowly, but

He spread his hooves and chased after him fiercely.

The two brothers Li Guo and Li You were immediately in dire straits! One Wu Sangui had already made them miserable, and now two Wu Sanguis came, which would really cost them their lives.

The veteran soldiers under their command also completely lost their will to fight to the death and just tried their best to escape. As for how much strength the horses under their legs still had, they no longer considered it.

Escape for a while!

If you really can't escape, just dismount and beg for surrender... Maybe you can spare your life. After all, the world is in chaos, and everyone is short of fighting men! The official Xu wants to talk about loyal ministers and no two masters. They are the big-headed soldiers.

Where can I talk about this?

So the chase didn't take long, and the battlefield was full of Dashun warriors who had killed their horses and begged for surrender. However, Li Guo escaped with his life by chance. His brother Li You sacrificed his life and shouted on the battlefield: "

"Li Guo is here" attracted the attention of the pursuers, who were chopped into seven or eight pieces on the spot! Li Guo took the opportunity to drive his horse into the Wei River, then tore off his cloth-covered iron armor, floated across the river, and joined Li Yan's

The remaining troops reunited and survived by luck.

Zhu Cixiang stood on the top of the cabin of the Dalongtou and witnessed the dramatic changes on the battlefield, but he still couldn't believe it. He watched the Dashun soldiers in white hats and blue uniforms on the battlefield kneel down one by one and beg for mercy. Then he looked at the pontoon.

They were cheering with the officers and soldiers on the surrounding sand ships and the sailors of the sand ship gang.

Only then did he realize that he had really won!

This battle between Tianjin and Wei was really tough, but the result was unexpectedly good!

At the critical moment, Wu Sangui finally appeared and gave the old soldiers of Dashun Army a fatal blow.

Zhu Cihong pinched himself quietly again.

Damn it, isn't his ancestor trying to trick him, but does he really have the ability to save the Ming Dynasty from falling?

Yes, I have the ability! Zhu Cixiang thought to himself: I am a pig and I want to fly! Pigs can fly, let alone now I am a dragon?

He turned to look at Cao Youyi. General Cao also stared at his eyes and grinned, looking as if he was overjoyed to have won the first prize. When he saw Zhu Cixiang's eyes, he seemed to wake up from a dream, and he cupped his hands towards Zhu Cixiang and said:

"Master Qiansui, you can use all the old camp soldiers who are begging for surrender on the battlefield. Do not kill them rashly.

In addition, the war in Nancheng is tense now, please immediately mobilize the Wu army to cross the river to reinforce Nancheng!"

After being reminded by Cao Youyi, Zhu Cixiang remembered it and hurriedly asked someone to withdraw his troops - don't get addicted to chasing him, which will delay Zhu Cixiang's rescue of his father.

In addition, the death-free flag must be raised high. The old camp soldiers of the bandits are relatively good at fighting!

And in another month, Li Zicheng should throw himself to death in front of Shanhaiguan. By then, he will be the mainstay of the Han people to resist the Qing Dynasty and save the world... Naturally, we can recruit those who have recognized Li Zicheng's true face as a non-resisting emperor.
