Abate's mouth was full of bitterness. Only then did he finally understand why the Ming army on the opposite side had such courage and dared to face the enemy head-on with only an infantry phalanx of 2,000 people.

Looking at such results, Wu Shigong also kept smiling. Although today's results were achieved due to excessive artillery and swarm of fire support, on the other hand, it also proved that the two thousand-man regiments

Merging into a large group of 2,000 people was a very successful restructuring.

Although the two thousand-man regiments merged into a large group of 2,000 men, the number of people did not increase, and the number of gunmen was still 400, but it was obviously a quantitative change to a qualitative change, and the ability of the phalanx to resist cavalry collisions was greatly increased.

Seeing such a result, Wang Sheng on the side felt incredible. He opened his mouth and stammered: "Commander! This..., this..., I didn't expect the fire gun to be so powerful!"

Wu Shigong smiled slightly at Wang Sheng and said: "It is easy for one person to use a firecracker well, but it is difficult for a hundred people to use a firecracker well. You still have a lot to learn. You have to be careful!"

As soon as Wang Sheng heard this, he knew that Wu Shigong was going to give him all his money and introduce Wang Sheng and others into the Runing Army system. So Wang Sheng was almost speechless with excitement. He just thanked him repeatedly: "

Thank you, Marshal! Thank you, Marshal!..."

Wu Shigong turned around again and saw Chi Ming's frowning face, so he immediately stopped smiling and cursed: "Why are you keeping a straight face? What's there to be unhappy about?"

Chi Ming still had a grimace on his face and mumbled in reply: "I'm going to eat horse meat again."

"Hahaha!" Wu Shigong burst into laughter immediately. He pointed to the battlefield and ordered vigorously: "The Tatars are frightened. The entire army will attack and annihilate this group of Tatars."

The sound of war drums in the Runing army formation immediately started to rumble...

"Master Beile! What should we do?" asked a Qing general.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Avoid its sharp edge first." Abatai said quickly.

But at this time, the morale of the Qing army was already in chaos. After the attack on the front failed, these Qing soldiers remembered that they would be besieged from all sides by the Runing army. Moreover, the frontal charge also wasted some time. At this time, the other three sides

The cavalry of the Runing Army also moved forward more than a hundred steps, greatly compressing the encirclement.

"Coax——!" The Qing army on the west side saw the heavy cavalry approaching like an iron can. They immediately dispersed and moved towards the center to avoid.

"Bang——!" The Qing army on the east side was fired by the approaching Runing army cavalry with firecrackers. The Qing army, which had just encountered strong firepower in the frontal charge, immediately became frightened and they did not dare to attack.

They charged forward and retreated towards the center.

As soon as they were squeezed by the troops on both sides, the formation of the Qing army in Abatai's tribe was somewhat shaken.

"Run back!" Seeing that Abatai was still hesitating, his soldier captain immediately shouted loudly. Regardless of whether Abatai agreed or not, the generals of the Qing army and Bai Yala's soldiers surrounded Abatai and started

Fleeing backwards. As the commander-in-chief retreated, the Qing troops immediately dispersed with a "coax". All the Qing soldiers lost their organization. They all fled towards the rear at great speed.

As soon as the Qing army's formation dispersed, the Runing army's cavalry on both sides began to charge at a faster pace. The Runing army's formation in the front also accelerated their drumbeats and trotted forward.

"Bang——!" The Runing Army cavalry in the rear also began to fire. With the sound of this row of gunshots, the Qing troops fleeing backward also began to disperse. Most of the Qing troops still rushed toward the rear, while a small number of Qing troops

The Qing army began to scurry around like headless flies in the encirclement. The Qing army had completely lost its military organization.

"Hurry up! Open a gap. Everyone rush out through the gap!" Abate shouted.

But at this time, the Qing army continued to fight, and the consequences of rushing to catch up with the Runing army became apparent. Their horse power could no longer keep up. No matter how hard they tried to catch up, the speed would not increase much. In fact, it would not increase much.

Some decline. Some of the Qing army's horses have begun to foam at the mouth.

The heavy cavalry of the Runing Army on the west side divided half of their strength and began to charge again. This charge was like a hot knife cutting butter, cutting the Qing army into two ends without any hindrance, leaving more than a thousand Qing soldiers at the rear.

The soldiers were surrounded by Runing troops.

"Free Fire!"

A group of gunmen ran out of the phalanx that was coming from behind. Under the orders of the fire gun commander, they shot at the Qing soldiers running around. It was almost accurate with every shot, and those Qing soldiers were far away.

They gave way and did not even think about coming forward to kill them. Some of the cavalrymen in Pegasus Town also dismounted and took out the medium-sized muskets used by the cavalry and prepared to shoot.

The sound of gunfire continued to sound. The encirclement behind was also shrinking. Under Wu Shigong's order, Wang Sheng's more than two thousand cavalry had already surrounded both sides of the encirclement behind, exchanging all the cavalry from the Runing Army.

Let them strengthen the encirclement in front.

The encirclement gradually narrowed, and it was no longer possible to fire freely, otherwise the comrades might be accidentally injured. So the gunmen withdrew to the outside, allowing the pikemen and axemen to come forward. At this time, the rear part was truly surrounded.

For the Qing army, all that's left is just some finishing work.

The phalanx of the Runing army began to separate. The soldiers were divided into groups, like walls, dividing the remaining Qing soldiers. The spearmen and axe-gunners who acted as the walls continued to assassinate and hack.

The Qing soldiers, who had completely lost their horse speed, fell from their horses in large numbers, howling miserably, under the dense attack of spears.

This was completely a one-sided massacre. The battlefield was filled with the shouts of the Runing army. With every assassination, there was an passionate shout: "Kill!"

The Qing soldiers kept falling off their horses. At this time, the Runing army had already grasped the situation. They were not targeting the people but the horses, and wanted to keep the horses intact.

…

In another encirclement, the two thousand Runing Army cavalry who blocked the Qing army's retreat were indeed unable to control such a long front. Abatai and the others gathered all the people around them and charged out smoothly at the junction in the northeast corner.

But when the Runing Army cavalry exchanged by Wang Sheng arrived, the encirclement was also tightly sealed.

In this encirclement, more than 2,000 cavalrymen of the Qing army were left. Nearly 5,000 cavalrymen of the Runing army began to pursue them.

Some Qing soldiers were hit hard by sabers as they ran. Some were shot down by the Runing Army's cavalry. The Qing soldiers were scurrying around like a group of surrounded prey. Some were desperate.

He rushed towards the queue of Runing troops outside and was immediately shot and stabbed to death by the Runing troops.

By the time all the Qing soldiers in the encirclement behind were wiped out by the Runing infantry, and they joined the ranks of strangling the Qing troops in the encirclement, the outcome of the Qing army here was already doomed.

…

The battle only ended at dusk. However, most of the time after noon, the Runing army was cleaning up the battlefield, because the results of this battle were simply too brilliant.

In the end, the Qing army that fled with Abatai only had more than a thousand horses, while the Runing army killed nearly 5,000 Qing troops. Because this Qing army was composed of one man and two horses, more than 6,000 horses were captured.

match.

In addition, because most of the troops charging into the formation were white-armored soldiers, the Runing Army captured more than 500 pieces of heavy armor and more than 300 pieces of vests. The remaining light armor, weapons, horse gear, flags, etc. were countless.

As for the Runing Army, they only lost more than 1,300 cavalrymen from Wang Sheng's troops, plus more than 300 casualties of the Runing Army itself. It should be said that no bones or muscles were injured at all.

Throughout the battle, the two Qing troops on the other side, Ji'erharang and Hauge, could only look at the river and sigh. They had no way to cross the river to support them. They could only symbolically attack the bridgehead and abandon it.

After a few corpses, he no longer wasted his strength in attacking this "strong city".

And Abatai fled to Aobai and Tan Tai's tribe like a lost dog. Suddenly hearing of this defeat, Ao Bai and Tan Tai immediately stopped and no longer dared to press Runing's army.

In the next two days, the Runing army safely and safely erected eleven more pontoon bridges on the Wuming River, and then the entire army crossed the Wuming River without any danger.

After the whole army crossed the river, the Runing army rested in place for another day. Taking advantage of this gap, Wu Shigong summoned all the officers for a post-war summary and a banquet after the summary meeting.

Although during the war, there was no wine at the banquet and the dishes were very simple. However, those officers were very flattering to Wu Shigong, especially all the officers unanimously recognized that Wu Shigong arranged for the cavalry to cross the Wuming River twice as a stroke of genius.

After the banquet, Wu Shigong was still intoxicated by the flattery. When he thought of his magical stroke, he couldn't help but laugh to the sky. He thought proudly in his heart: "There will be a great man in the future who can cross Chishui four times, and I

It was the two crossings of the Nameless River that sealed the victory. Then am I not half a great man?"

And the penetrating laughter reached the ears of Chi Ming, who was standing guard outside the tent, and he suddenly felt a creepy feeling. Chi Ming couldn't help but thought: "Your Excellency's laughter is so terrifying, it's worse than eating horse meat."

It’s disgusting. And the Tatars don’t look like they’re that big of a deal. Maybe their women are more aggressive and can beat men with whips. But that’s okay because you haven’t met me. Otherwise, I’ll beat her to death!”

Facing the strength of the Runing Army, Jierhalang and Hauge, who were blocking the front, no longer dared to push too hard. While they summoned various Qing troops to come quickly, they stopped digging trenches around the bridgehead.

Instead, they are excavating about ten miles away from the bridgehead and preparing to gather the entire army for a battle with the Runing Army.

On the 13th, more than 5,000 men from the Duoduo tribe of the Qing army arrived. In the afternoon of the same day, more than 9,000 remnants of the Aobai, Tantai tribe and Abatai crossed the upper reaches of the Wuming River and joined the main force of the Qing army.

On August 14, the entire Runing army left the bridgehead and headed toward Ningyuan City in the southeast again. The first thing they had to face was the 27,000 Qing army. (To be continued, please search Gone with the Wind.
