Wu Shigong is hated again. But now there are too many people who hate Wu Shigong. Even the chief minister Zhou Yanru also indirectly hates Wu Shigong. So Wu Shigong is also suffering from lice.

It seemed that the old man was also tired, and the night seemed particularly quiet. There was really no one visible in this wild place, only the twinkling torches in the distance.

Wu Shigong drank the broth in his hand while observing the distance. When the hot broth entered his stomach, the feeling of happiness immediately spread from his stomach to every pore on his body.

Now Wu Shigong is confronting the rebels across the Shahe River. After arriving at the west bank of the Shahe River at dusk, Wu Shigong had to wade across the river through the shallow water several times. This move made the rebels nervous. Seeing such a bright force

With such an active attack by the army, the rebels did not know whether other Ming troops had arrived. Therefore, the rebels gathered their troops. They only left some probing spies on the east bank of the Shah River. After that, the main force of the rebels retreated.

, I accepted it as soon as it was good.

Wu Shigong's actions across the river several times were of course a bluff. He just wanted to make the rebels confused about his purpose. Forcibly crossing the Shahe River, with the retreat route cut off, he used his cavalry to fight with the main force of the rebels.

Wu Shigong certainly had no interest in this move.

However, when Wu Shigong was crossing the river, he and the blocking rebels shot at each other with firecrackers from across the river several times. Because Wu Shigong's firecrackers were more powerful, they caused some casualties to the rebels.

When the rebels saw that there was such a well-equipped cavalry, such fierce firepower, and such a strong desire to fight, the Ming army did not dare to neglect, and immediately took the initiative to shrink the army to cover up the enemy, in order to detect the enemy on the other side.

Let’s talk about the situation of the Ming army.

Wu Shigong wanted the rebels to spend time investigating the situation. He only had to delay the rebels for one night, to be precise, half a night, and before the rebels woke up, he would lead his cavalry and retreat together with the rescued Ming army.

After bidding farewell to Governor Liu Yulie, Wu Shigong met and interrogated several defeated Ming troops in the next period. Seeing that the number of defeated Ming troops had become smaller, Wu Shigong immediately ordered the cavalry to advance in the opposite direction.

.

At this time, the total number of Wu Shigong's cavalry had reached more than 1,200. The defeat of the army did not mean that there were no brave soldiers in these armies.

Seeing Wu Shigong's cavalry taking the initiative to rescue the lagging Ming army, some brave military attaches and soldiers also joined Wu Shigong's cavalry.

When Wu Shigong arrived at Shahe, he only saw the tragic scene of the Ming army. On both sides of the Shahe, the defeated Ming soldiers were slaughtered like lambs by the rebels.

Of course Wu Shigong had no way to rescue the Ming army on the east bank of the Shah River. Wu Shigong had to form a team to rescue the Ming army who had fled to the west bank of the Shah River.

At this time, the number of rebels who crossed the Shahe River was not large, and they were mainly cavalry. They mainly entangled the footsteps of the Ming army infantry, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the rebels and destroying these Ming troops.

At this time, there were only two Ming armies resisting in an organized manner. One numbered more than 600 people, and the other numbered more than 1,300 people.

Seeing the arrival of Wu Shigong's cavalry, the rebel cavalry entangled with the two Ming armies immediately abandoned their opponents and immediately joined together, preparing to defeat Wu Shigong's cavalry first and then deal with the two-legged Ming army infantry.

The rebel cavalry also numbered more than 1,500 people. After the two sides lined up, they immediately charged each other without saying a word.

Although the rebels did not dare to fight the cavalry of the Hou Jin Army, they had a psychological advantage in fighting the cavalry of the Ming Army. After all, these rebels who were born in Dongjiang Town were also from Liaodong. They could barely be called

Guan Ning Cavalry.

But what the rebels didn't expect was that this battle was completely one-sided and they suffered a crushing defeat.

Wu Shigong arranged the cavalry from his Runing camp in front of the formation. Without conserving his own strength at all, he wanted to defeat the rebel cavalry on the opposite side at once.

When the first rows of cavalry from both sides approached, Wu Shigong's cavalry fired a volley with muskets. Of course, this kind of shooting was not accurate, and the purpose of the shooting was just to disrupt the rhythm of the rebel cavalry.

But no matter what, the shooting had some effects. Seeing their companions being shot off their horses, the rebel cavalry unconsciously slowed down their horses, and the entire queue became somewhat scattered.

After the shooting, the cavalrymen of the Runing camp immediately threw their muskets to the ground, took the time to pick up their lances, formed a tight formation, and rushed towards the rebel cavalry formation.

This is a tactic that the Runing Battalion summed up after fighting against the Hou Jin Army’s cavalry in the last Battle of King Qin. The name of that tactic is the “Red Eye Tactics.”

Different from the meaning of red eye in modern red-eye flights, the red eye here in Runingying refers to red eyes during a war.

In the summary of the battle after the last return of King Qin, Wu Shigong and others agreed: The cavalrymen who have only received one or two years of cavalry training are definitely not as good as those of the Later Jin Army who grew up on horseback in individual combat.

of cavalry.

Therefore, in order to make up for your shortcomings, you must use your courage to suppress the cavalry of the Hou Jin Army.

Inspired by the Death Crash, Wu Shigong and others created the "Red Eye Tactics." The tactics of this Red Eye Tactics are: arrange a tight cavalry formation, and constantly use your own cavalry formation to collide with the enemy's cavalry formation.

The cavalry of the Runing camp did not play any tricks with their opponents, involving two horses crossing each other, and the two sides fighting three hundred rendezvous. They just wanted to go through the rows of cavalry collisions, and the death of rows of cavalry and war horses, to see who was the first.

Can't hold it.

This kind of cavalry tactic, which does not depend on personal combat skills at all, depends entirely on how much both sides ignore their own lives. To be honest, if this tactic is adopted, although one's own cavalry will definitely suffer heavy casualties, the opponent will be replaced by others.

Zhao Zilong and Guan Yunchang, they can only endure the battlefield.

Faced with this barbaric tactic, the rebels' front row of cavalry couldn't hold on. Seeing the menacing momentum of the Runing camp's cavalry, the already scattered array immediately dispersed. The cavalry on both sides avoided the Runing camp's cavalry array.

He turned around and ran away. The cavalry in the middle who couldn't escape was, as expected, trampled to a pulp.

The charge of several rows of cavalry in front of the Runing camp, like a hot knife cutting through butter, disrupted the rebel cavalry formation. When the rebel cavalry leader saw that his cavalry formation no longer existed, he also

Knowing that he was defeated, he immediately ordered a retreat.

But then came the cavalry from Wu Shigong's rear row. Although those cavalry could not use the strict tactics of the Runing camp's cavalry, but wouldn't they still know how to beat up a drowned dog?

After a period of killing, the rebel cavalry abandoned more than 400 corpses and retreated to the east bank of the Shah River under the cover of the rebels on the other side of the Shah River.

Next, Wu Shigong bluffed across the river to attack. It was not until the sky completely darkened that the two armies left the river bank, ending the day's battle.

Wu Shigong suffered only nine casualties in this battle. In addition to taking more than 400 heads of rebel cavalry, he also captured more than 100 horses. In addition, several armors and weapons were captured.

The two Ming armies that Wu Shigong rescued also joined Wu Shigong's cavalry. Among them, the Ming army of more than 1,300 people was the Henan Ming army that had lost Jiang Guerrilla. In addition, the rebels retreated when they saw it

On the east bank of Shahe River, the scattered Ming troops also gathered towards Wu Shigong. In the end, Wu Shigong gathered more than 3,200 Ming troops in total.

Wu Shigong was not in a hurry to retreat to the rear. He simply lit a large number of bonfires, took out dry food, and cooked soup with the dead horse meat left by the rebels. He ate horse meat, drank broth, and held a bonfire party.
