"Your Majesty, I leave this place to you."

"ah?"

In the blink of an eye, the right wing of the Qing army was on the verge of collapse, and many of the Han army flags had even fled. Jidu stared at all this with his mouth open, as what happened in front of him was beyond his imagination.

Knowing the limits - In his impression, the Eight Banners Army is an existence that can crush all living beings, especially the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which is invincible. The previous defeats of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, whether it was the death of Nikan or the death of Suksa

Ha's defeat was mostly due to the commander's stupidity and the holding back of the Green Camp soldiers. If there were tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops participating in the battle, the Ming army would have absolutely no chance of winning.

After all, if the Eight Banners are less than ten thousand, they will be invincible if they are full of ten thousand!

This is not only his view, it is also the consensus within the Eight Banners to explain the two defeats of the Hengyang and Ganzhou Manchuria Eight Banners. But at this moment, the first to collapse was the right wing composed entirely of Eight Banners troops. What should he do?

Acceptable.

Ashange had already shouted at him twice before he finally woke up in a daze. At this moment, he saw that Gushan Ezhen had already put on his armor with the help of Geshiha, and those things they had reserved in advance were preparations to determine the outcome.

The cavalry of the team also began to make final preparations. Seeing this, Jidu certainly understood what his chief general was going to do.

"If something cannot be done, Your Majesty should make plans in advance."

Of course, Jidu understood what this meant. If defeated, he must evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible, because the Manchu Qing could find ways to cover up the loss of its army for a while, and use this time to mobilize elites to go south and continue to deal with the Ming army.

But if even Prince Heshuo was killed by the Ming army, people's hearts would be shocked. There would be no need for the Ming army to do anything. With only uprising and rebellion, the Qing rule in the south of the Yangtze River would basically be over.

After a while, Ashangge had finished applying armor. This fierce Manchu general must apply three layers of armor in every battle. With this abnormal defensive power, he charged forward and relied on this bravery to reach the high position he is today. At this moment

, returned to the most familiar state, and logically speaking, he should be full of confidence. But this time, he just showed a wry smile to Jidu.

"Your Majesty, I have been fighting for decades, and I have never been so frustrated as I am today."

The collapse of the right wing has begun. After the Chinese army suffered three rounds of attacks that were far less numerous than the right wing, it also fell into passivity at the first moment of the battle. The right wing was all composed of the Eight Banners Army, and there were also many from the Chinese army.

The Eight Banners of the Han Army, these two lines are still like this, and the left wing of the entire Green Camp will be even worse when the time comes.

Ashangge said these words, and immediately led six thousand cavalry, composed of the cavalry reserved from the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and ran wildly toward the northwest. In Jidu's sight, this man

The Manchurian general, who already had the mentality of failure or failure, rushed to the final battlefield with the Qing army's last hope.

Six thousand cavalry galloped wildly, with flying smoke and thunderous hoofbeats, just like the momentum of thousands of horses galloping. Their appearance forced some troops from Rong Banner Zuozhen on the edge of the battlefield to change direction and take a defensive position.

The long gunners in the back row came forward and pointed their sharp spearheads at the cavalry that had bypassed the Qing army's right-wing formation. This undoubtedly slowed down Rong Banner Zuozhen's offensive. But even so, the Ming army was weak

The forest of spears still inevitably trembled due to the trembling of the earth, forcing the commander-in-chief Lin Sheng to subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of his sword, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time and fight to the death with the Qing army.

However, just within Lin Sheng's sight, and within the sight of the officers and soldiers of Rong Banner Zuozhen, this Eight Banners cavalry seemed to have no interest in them at all, and did not even bother to shoot an arrow.

After bypassing the main formation of the Qing army, they continued to run towards the southwest. In full view of the crowd, they also bypassed the left wing of the Ming army.

"It's broken! Their target is Mr. Guo Xingye!"

Just when Lin Sheng realized the intention of the Qing army, Ashangge's direct gaze was already focused on Zheng Chenggong's flag. At this moment, some of the Han flags on the right wing of the Qing army that first engaged in the battle were already frightened, and even Manchuria

The Eight Banners were not much better. The Chinese army had already engaged in the battle, and its decline was fully visible. As for the left wing that had not yet engaged in the battle, no one had any hope of repaying them and reversing the defeat. The Qing army was already on the frontal battlefield.

On the verge of collapse, only by bypassing the fighting army and taking Zheng Chenggong's commanding banner can we have a chance to reverse the defeat in one fell swoop!

This was undoubtedly a dangerous move. If the situation had not been so defeated, even an Eight Banners general like Ashangge, who was famous for his bravery, would not have made such a decision easily.

Fortunately, according to the intelligence detected before the war, Zheng Chenggong should only have the guards, three cavalry towns and the two infantry towns holding crossbows under his banner at the moment. Although there are a lot of cavalry in the three towns, there are only

The Qing army was just average. As for Zheng Chenggong's own bodyguard, it was completely negligible in the face of such a large cavalry.

And those two towns couldn't be more funny. I think back then, the firearms of the Guanning Military Vehicle and Artillery Battalion were still shooting at them under the protection of the chariots. These two towns holding crossbows only had

The pitiful two thousand soldiers can no longer compete with the former in terms of firepower. They don't even have tanks. They have no ability to protect themselves against the infantry. Faced with so many more troops than they do.

The cavalry will only be crushed into pulp!

Of course, the situation was critical, and Zheng Chenggong could still run away with his guards. Originally, whether or not Zheng Chenggong could beheaded was not actually important to this single battle. In such a large area, the Ming army could not see whether Zheng Chenggong was still alive.

Alive. At that time, even if Zheng Chenggong ran away, all he had to do was cut down the handsome flag with the words "The King of Fujian recruits the general's national surname", and the Ming army would be in chaos, and everything could be completely reversed.

What's more, Ashangge didn't believe that Zheng Chenggong would abandon his army and abscond. This life-and-death enemy of the Qing Dynasty was so strong and proud. When he crushed the Ming army in those two towns into a pulp, Zheng Chenggong would definitely be in command.

The banners will continue to fight and use their last breath to hold on to the Ming army's complete victory on the frontal battlefield. By then, Zheng Chenggong will be beheaded in the first battle. Not only this battle can be reversed, but the entire southeast war situation will be completely reversed.

On the flip side, they no longer need the main force that is still in the southwest.

However, when the coach was attacked, the left and right wings of the Ming army were beyond the reach of the Ming army. The Chinese army would definitely try to come back with reinforcements. Although Zheng Chenggong made mistakes in the formation of troops in this encounter, which greatly improved their success, it left them with

There is only one chance. Otherwise, once the Ming army's infantry is stuck, even if it slows down the offensive rhythm of the Chinese army. As long as the right wing of the Qing army completely collapses, as long as the Eight Banners of Manchuria collapse, it is impossible for the Eight Banners of the Han army and the Green Camp to escape.

Keep fighting. At that time, they need to worry about the fate of this cavalry.

There was only one chance. Ashangge's whip left traces on the body of the good horse. The pained horse neighed and had to cater to the owner's wishes. At this time, if a flying swallow flew over at a low altitude,

When crossing green grass, you will inevitably be trampled by horse hooves.

The Qing army's cavalry, led by Gu Shan'erzhen, rushed towards Zheng Chenggong's commanding flag at high speed. The Ming army was obviously prepared for this, as the cavalry from the three towns came straight towards it without the slightest fear.

The Ming army's cavalry towns had thousands of cavalry in each town. There were indeed auxiliary troops in the garrison and camp who were responsible for transporting fodder and taking care of the horses, but the number of combat troops was only two battalions of more than a thousand cavalry. This system has been going on for a long time.

Compared with the establishment of each war soldier town, which has gradually expanded to five battalions, the south is not a horse-producing area, and more relies on the supply of some small and pitiful horse farms that were captured and newly built. It is extremely difficult to be able to do this.

.

Three towns, that is, six battalions with more than 3,000 cavalry. Against the Qing army in any province, they are undoubtedly impressive. However, their opponents are twice as many as them. Moreover, among them

There are not only Manchu cavalry, but also Mongolian cavalry who have grown up on horseback. Even the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Army are mostly veterans who have fought for more than ten or decades.

First, the arrows collided like positive and negative charges in the clouds, and then there was the collision of two lightning bolts. The rolling thunder was mixed with hoarse shouts and screams. In just one round, the Ming army's cavalry had

More than a hundred riders were killed or wounded, but not even half of them were on the Qing side!

The crushing advantage in numbers is one, and the gap in technical and tactical levels between the two sides is the other. But despite this, Ashang still couldn't help but frown.

In the flash of lightning just now, with decades of rich experience in fighting, he could clearly see that the combat effectiveness of these Ming troops was far beyond his expectations. Whether it was riding archery, equestrian skills, or horseback fighting and robe Ze

Due to the tacit understanding between them, the Qing army was indeed superior, but it was not a unilateral massacre. The qualities displayed by many of the Ming troops were no less than those of the nine-sided Ming army soldiers he had seen back then.

The casualties of the Qing army were basically caused by these guys.

As far as he knew, since Zheng Chenggong, Chen Kai and Li Dingguo worked together to regain the provinces of Fujian and Guangdong in the eighth year of Yongli Dynasty, the southern Jiangxi, Jiangxi, Guangxi and even Guangdong provinces adjacent to Guangdong have been at war. Chen Kai almost every year

We have to fight against Hong Chengchou, Dingnan Fan, and the Green Camp troops in Jiangxi and Southern Jiangxi, while Fujian is much calmer.

However, Zheng Chenggong was not idle at all during this period. He constantly rotated his troops during the long-term war that opened up Zhejiang. Not only did the Ming army maintain its combat effectiveness very well, but the combination of training and combat also effectively improved the strength of the troops.

Combat effectiveness. The cavalry of these three towns is the most obvious among them, because they do not have new tactics as assistance like other towns. What they have is only the improvement of their own technical and tactical level and the commander's command ability.

That's all.

Not only did the infantry of the Fujian and Guangdong Ming armies become stronger as the war progressed, even the cavalry's combat effectiveness was steadily improving. This made Gu Shanerzhen, who knew the inside story of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, even more determined to defeat the backbone of the Fujian, Guangdong and Ming armies in one battle.

Interrupted belief. At this time, with the overwhelming advantage of military strength, it is only a matter of time to defeat this Ming army cavalry group. However, the Qing army on the main battlefield is already hovering on the edge of collapse. Zheng Chenggong can delay it.

But Ashangge can never afford to delay him!

At this moment, after a brief collision, he gave an order, and the flag of General Goshiha, who was riding behind him, was waving regularly. The cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Army followed the Han Army flags of Mele Zhangjing, Jia La Zhangjing and Niu.

Led by Lu Zhangjing, he desperately entangled the Ming army's cavalry town regardless of casualties. He led more than 3,000 cavalry from the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners to change direction, trying to bypass the battlefield and attack Zheng Chenggong's handsome flag.

The Ming army naturally understood what the Qing army was thinking. There was a conflict between them on the battlefield, and they tried their best to hold Ashangge back. However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. They were only half as disadvantaged as their opponents, so they tried their best.

The solution was also difficult to achieve, and I could only watch helplessly as the Qing army's cavalry pounced on Zheng Chenggong's flag.

After finally getting rid of the Ming army's cavalry, Ashangge, who was burning with fighting spirit, whipped the horse under his crotch hard. The painful horse suddenly accelerated, and in an instant he regained the leading position. However,

At this moment, before he could refocus his attention on the direction of Zheng Chenggong's commanding flag, Joluo Yabulan, who was already riding his horse beside him, gave a reminder, which made him suddenly startled.

"Those crossbowmen are wearing armor!"

Crossbowman wearing armor?

This shouldn't be anything new, because as long as the armor is rich and the crossbowman wears cloth face armor, cotton or leather armor is fine. As long as it doesn't affect the movement of the arm and doesn't put too much burden on the crossbowman, there's nothing wrong with it.

Yes. After all, you will often be interfered by enemies when shooting.

Ashangge knew very well that Joluo Yabulan was definitely not a guy who liked to talk nonsense, and he would never say that for no reason. In just a moment, his heart was occupied by worry. And that was exactly what happened.
