Chapter 79 Saving the Nation

As Lian Decheng expected, the more than a thousand roundabout cavalry mobilized by Geng Jimao were of limited strength and failed to break through the Zheng army's waiting formation. Instead, they were completely weakened by the joint attack of "Rong Banner Town" and Hao Shangjiu's servants.

At the same time, after receiving Zheng Chenggong's latest order, Gan Hui immediately dispersed his cavalry to the two wings, and then together with Wan Li, led the chief and deputy leaders to pull Huwei Town out of the melee. Huwei

Under the leadership of these two tiger generals, thousands of soldiers in the town went straight to the center front.

At this time, on the central front, the soldiers of the two armies were already furious and were still attacking each other. The soldiers in Qingding Town waved various weapons in their hands and continued to attack the approaching Qing army. In the chaos of the battle,

People kept falling down, and hoarse shouts could not be heard. The blood flowing on the ground was crisscrossed, and the soil mixed with green grass had already been dyed red.

After Wang Daxiong escaped from the Qing cavalry attack, he led his squad to follow Gan Hui. Li Anyong and Zhou Xiangcai were still beside him. Sun Xing was hit by an iron bone flower thrown by the Qing cavalry in the melee.

He had already been dragged down by the soldiers. Now, the person holding the shield in front of him was a soldier named Yan Xiaoliu.

After Jinding Town received the order, some of the queues that had the upper hand in the battle began to shrink amidst the sound of drums and trumpets. The large formation based on the "Mandarin Duck Formation" gave full play to the flexibility of this formation at this time. The originally tight formation

The large formation quickly divided into several small formations, with several gaps of more than ten steps wide between each formation for the army to move.

However, the Qing army responded very quickly. They quickly discovered Zheng Jun's unusual movements and locked most of the phalanx formations. Many soldiers on the front line were unable to escape in a short time. The separation of the formation was blocked. This

As a result, Huwei Town cannot go all out.

Geng Jimao and Lian Decheng came to the front line to command in person at the same time, and quickly stabilized the morale of the army. Now the musketeers in the rear are retreating, and the cavalry on both wings, led by officers at all levels, have basically stabilized the front, as long as the center can be maintained.

After staying there for a while, Geng Jimao would be confident that he could lead the army to retreat calmly under the cover of the cavalry.

Wang Daxiong led his squad into the gap between the two phalanxes, and several squads of Huwei soldiers followed them. A shrill scream came to his ears,

There was sticky blood-stained soil under his feet, but he seemed to feel nothing, his eyes fixed on the densely packed sharp weapons opposite.

"Whoosh" sounded several times, and seven or eight short axes passed through the air, screaming and hitting the Qing army's line on the opposite side. Several Qing soldiers fell down with miserable screams. Yan Xiaoliu and another sword shield who were accompanying him

The soldiers took advantage of their momentum and rushed forward with their regiment cards in hand.

"Grandma, kill the Qing soldiers!" Wang Daxiong shouted, and his body as tall as a bear collided directly with him. Zhou Xiangcai, Li Anyong and others followed closely behind. These fierce tiger guards soon forced their way on the Qing army's front.

It opened a hole.

After the heavily armored Tiger Guards rushed into the Qing army's formation, the spears in the hands of the Qing soldiers lost their effect. Wang Daxiong and others pulled out short axes and thickened one-handed broadswords from their waists, and slashed viciously.

Killing the Qing soldiers around him, blood suddenly flew from the Qing army's front line. The pikemen behind him also took the opportunity to attack. The Qing army's front line that was hit by this attack was instantly killed and in chaos.

The Tiger Guard led by Wan Li also launched an attack on the other side at the same time. The ground was filled with the corpses of the Qing army and the Tiger Guard. Under the impact of the heavy armored infantry, the defense of the Qing army's phalanx was greatly reduced, but the Tiger Guard

Wei Town also paid a heavy price. The Qing army's armor and equipment were well-equipped. Although it was not as good as Huwei Town, it was not without the ability to counterattack.

Gan Hui and Wan Li still didn't know that Geng Jimao had withdrawn the musketeers from the rear formation. They did not dare to let Huwei Town directly break through the Qing army's formation. Firstly, this was because the losses would be very heavy, and secondly, the Tigers

Guardstown's armor cannot withstand the cheap lead bullets of muskets at close range. Such casualties must be avoided.

In fact, at this time, Geng Jimao and Lien Decheng were standing ready with their own soldiers, ready to kill any Zheng army soldiers who broke through the formation at any time. It was not that they did not notice these enemy soldiers with distinctive features and ghostly faces, but they were still confused for a moment.

I can't think of a way to defeat the enemy.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong wants to kill us. You can retreat first with some of your troops, and the last ones will stay behind to break up the rear." Lian Decheng looked at the middle road that was gradually losing its support and said quickly.

Geng Jimao looked at the two wings, then immediately withdrew his gaze, nodded and said: "The cavalry of the Zheng army is weak. Company commander, when the time comes, you will lead the cavalry to the left and right to cover. Be sure to bring more old brothers with you. These are all for us to live in."

The foundation of.”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong's cavalry can't defeat us. If he dares to chase us, we will bite off a piece of his flesh at the end of his life to see if he dares to continue to entangle us." Lian Decheng said fiercely, his tone was very confident.

"Okay, I will lead my troops back into the city first. With the city wall to rely on, Zheng Chenggong can't do anything to us." Geng Jimao raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Huizhou City.

"Boom, boom, boom——"

Before Geng Jimao finished speaking, several loud noises suddenly erupted in Huizhou City. The whole ground trembled, and then a fire cloud rose into the sky. It could be clearly seen on the battlefield of the two armies ten miles away.

The orange-red flames above.

Lian Decheng looked in the direction Geng Jimao pointed and was stunned for a moment. Thousands of kilograms of gunpowder in the military supply warehouse flashed through his mind, and he stumbled and said: "Hui, Hui, Huizhou City...

..."

Geng Jimao's face twitched, and the arm pointing at Huizhou City froze there, as if his whole body had been petrified. Huang Yingjie, who was behind the military formation, heard the loud noise, turned around, and his eyes suddenly bulged, and his whole body

His soul is gone, but Huizhou City is his foundation.

At this moment, a cavalry suddenly rushed out of the Zheng army's formation and drove directly into the Qing army's middle formation. Seeing this, Cai Fu opened his mouth and wanted to curse that bastard for his life, but he did this

He acted recklessly, failed to observe military discipline, and dared to charge without a trumpet. In a trance, he saw Gan Hui's banner following closely behind him. How could he not understand what was going on? He quickly hit his horse and charged after him.

"Damn it, you really don't want to die!"

"Woo, woo, woo~~~"

As hundreds of cavalry from Luanyi Town suddenly rushed out, the bugles on the Zheng Army line suddenly sounded, and then the charging drums rumbled and thundered. The officers of each department raised their flag guns at the same time, and the gun heads suddenly pointed towards

The direction of the Qing army's front,

When Gan Hui heard the explosion, he was slightly startled, and then he immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Such a good opportunity was fleeting, but in the end he was keenly caught. Leading the charge and charging into battle were his specialties.

.

At this time, the Qing army in the middle, which was still holding on for a breath, could not withstand such a fierce attack by the high-morale Zheng army. They also quickly noticed the changes in Huizhou City, and their morale suddenly collapsed.

When Geng Jimao came to his senses, he was already being dragged away by the leader of his own soldiers, following his mount. As soon as the commander's flag retreated, the cavalry on both sides of the Qing army were no longer strong and began to retreat one after another.

For a moment, Lian Decheng couldn't care about the phalanx of soldiers forming a fierce battle in the middle, and quickly began to retreat with his own soldiers. What he was thinking about now was no longer biting off a piece of Zheng Chenggong's flesh, but whether he could escape.

Born.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Qing army line collapsed. Groups of cavalry turned their horses and fled with their lives. Seeing that the situation was not good, the armored soldiers at the rear of the central army line also quickly turned around and retreated, then ran away while abandoning their helmets.

, at this time, the supervising team was no longer effective, and even ran faster, and everyone joined the defeated army.

Zheng Chenggong stared at the sudden change in the formation through the telescope. His eyes kept moving along with Gan Hui's recognition flag. He saw that the "Gan" recognition flag broke through the middle of the Qing army, causing a collapse.

The Qing army's sudden collision in the east and west turned the entire Qing army's formation upside down.

But Gan Hui didn't give up. While he was killing the Qing troops who were fleeing with their backs turned, he chased Geng Jimao's Wang Banner. Cai Fu's Luanyizhen and Gan Hui's soldiers combined only had three to four hundred men.

, but once the momentum is achieved, it is simply unstoppable.

Zheng Chenggong watched Zheng Jun's pursuit with excitement. Gan Hui hadn't stopped yet. Under his leadership, Zheng Jun's morale continued to rise. He was intercepting the Qing soldiers in the middle. If the cavalry hadn't been exhausted after fighting for half a day, Geng Jimao

I'm afraid there will be even fewer people that can be taken away.

At this time, the Jia soldiers deployed by the Qing army in the middle had been surrounded by Zheng's army. Except for a few who fled first and ran to get their horses, the rest could not escape. They all accepted the result of defeat, and many of them did not

There was no fight between trapped animals, and they all laid down their weapons and surrendered. However, Zheng Jun, who was red-eyed with killings, still killed hundreds more before stopping.

Looking at the changing battlefield, Zheng Chenggong knew that he had won the victory. Except for the one or two thousand cavalry on the two wings, the more than a thousand soldiers and horses in the back formation, and the musketeers who took the lead in retreating on horseback, almost none of Geng Jimao's vassal soldiers could do anything.

Escaped.

Gan Hui's charge was crucial to the victory of this battle. The two armies were originally evenly matched. The Zheng Army's Huwei Town was stronger, the Qing Army had the advantage of cavalry, and the infantry soldiers of both sides were evenly matched.

, there was a stalemate all the time. Geng Jimao could have retreated calmly, but he had no energy to pursue even if he wanted to.

However, under the impact of the bombing of Huizhou City and Gan Hui's well-timed sudden attack, the morale of the two armies was completely different. Even Geng Jimao and Lian Decheng lost the courage to continue fighting.

, all the Qing armies collapsed.

Zheng Chenggong put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the undulating mountains in the southwest of Huizhou City. From Chaozhou Fucheng to Huizhou Fucheng, the mountains were high and the roads were long. The long journey, the scene of tens of thousands of troops marching, the scene of Ganhui galloping on the battlefield, and the scene of the sword standing on horseback.

His mind flashed quickly, the scenes merged, and a poem by a great man popped out directly from his mouth:

"The mountains are high, the roads are far away and the pits are deep, and the army is galloping in all directions.

Who dares to stand upright with a sword? I am General Peng."

Zheng Chenggong naturally did not dare to compare with great men, and Gan Hui's achievements were not worthy of being compared with General Peng. However, there is no doubt that Zheng's army galloped in all directions, and Gan Hui's sword was swift. Zheng Chenggong was indomitable in the face of the foreigners who enslaved the Han people.

, in this specific era, just like that specific era, everything is for the four words "save the nation and survive"!

Feng Chengshi on the side suddenly frowned slightly when he heard what Zheng Chenggong was mumbling:
Chapter completed!
