Accompanied by the passionate and wild roar of antlers, the earth began to tremble, and countless Qing troops, guided by two white flags, rushed towards the front like two torrents unstoppable.
Wang Pu was immediately frightened!
Just the five thousand elite cavalry from the Zhengbai Banner had already exhausted him mentally and physically. He risked his life and finally blocked their offensive. But now, facing the two white flags' elite cavalry, which probably numbered no less than 20,000, what did he do?
Come to block?
"Quickly, send a message to the general, let's, let's take a step back first!" Wang Pu shouted desperately, calling to the soldiers around him, and quickly retreated.
The cavalry's offensive is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins. If you don't grasp the force of the front and rush forward hastily, it will not have any effect at all, and you will be swallowed up in a moment without even a trace left!
Wang Pu has experienced hundreds of battles, so he naturally understands the truth.
As for the Datong Army under his command, after years of training, although they have not yet reached the level of 'orders and prohibitions' of the Caishi Army, they have reached a certain scale.
Following Wang Pu's loud shouts, these Datong soldiers also retreated towards the rear in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective generals.
Soon, the originally dense battlefield quickly became empty.
The white flag cavalry who were originally in front moved in a very orderly manner. They dispersed to both sides to make way for the following army, and then followed the army at the end and merged with it!
Not far away, Liu Ruyi could see all this clearly without Wang Pu's report.
Seeing the crowd rolling like a white torrent of most of the Qing army, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but let out a deep breath!
Dorgon finally couldn't bear it anymore!
That's fine, neither side has any reservations, so let's see whose fist is harder!
"Suzaku Battalion, stand in front! Artillery Battalion, prepare for bombardment! Chinese Cavalry Battalion, stand ready to fight at any time!" Liu Ruyi issued several orders one after another.
"Yes!" The messenger ordered the soldiers to leave in a hurry.
"General, the Qing army is coming very hard! I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult for the Chunwa team. Do you want me to join in?" Huo Lang was a little anxious and hurriedly said to Liu Ruyi who was standing aside.
Liu Ruyi shook her head slightly, "It's not time yet! You should also go to the front and wait! Give Chunwa some fire cover!"
"Yes!" Huo Lang hurriedly ran towards the front position.
Although the Ming army took the lead in launching the offensive in this battle, due to the short operating time, the fortifications of the Ming army's various camps were not perfect. In fact, this battle was equivalent to a complete field battle!
Huolang's Qinglong camp firearms soldiers accounted for the majority. At this time, they did not have strong fortifications to hold on. If they rushed forward rashly, they would lose more than they gained!
Although this battle is a decisive battle, Dorgon has already shown his trump card, but to Liu Ruyi, Dorgon is just a sword. If he does not see the person who actually holds the sword, then it is not the final moment of the decisive battle.
!
Soon, the two white flag camps broke through the shackles and reached the position of the Suzaku Battalion.
For a moment, blunderbuss sounded, arrows flew in random directions, mixed with the roar of cannon fire, and the whole world seemed to be torn apart.
"Boom~boom~boom!"
The position of the Caishi Army artillery battalion was not far behind Liu Ruyi. At this time, standing at Liu Ruyi's position, one could clearly see the dark artillery shells, drawing arcs in the sky and hitting them directly.
Falling towards the Qing army camp in front.
But the sharp cavalry under Dorgon and Duoduo had already charged. They didn't care about the huge power of the Caishi Army's artillery. They almost used their lives to charge forward to the Suzaku Camp position.
Chun Wa is also a little hairy!
But although he was angry, he also understood the power of the Qing army's charge, and did not dare to rush forward rashly. He loudly ordered his subordinates to use simple fortifications and sharp firearms to constantly deal with the Qing army and slow down their attack speed!
For a moment, the entire frontal battlefield was in darkness, as if the mountains and the earth were about to collapse!
At this time, one person's life is already insignificant. Ten people or hundreds of people can be killed in just an instant!
Dorgon also understood in his heart that after the growth of the Ming army in the past few years, it was no longer as easy to deal with as it was in the past, and the Qing Dynasty's elite cavalry no longer had the absolute advantage they had before, but for the sake of the ownership of the land under their feet,
, For the eternal foundation of the Qing Dynasty, only by stepping on the bones of these Ming people can we exchange for the glory and wealth of the Manchu people!
In the past few months, the reason why the Qing army adopted a conservative defensive posture was not because they were afraid of the sharpness of the Ming army. It was also because at this moment, the main force of the Ming army gathered together and could defeat them in one fell swoop!
At this time, the opportunity is already in front of him, so why would Dorgon have any hesitation?
He is determined to defeat Liu Ruyi and the Caishi Army in one fell swoop with this battle!
~~~~
In the middle of the Caishi Army's camp, Liu Ruyi's face became gloomy.
‘There are not even ten thousand Jurchens, but there are no more than ten thousand people who are invincible!’ This sentence is really not just talk!
Faced with the impact of the elite white flags of Dorgon and the Duoduo brothers, not to mention that the Caishi Army was in the semi-firearms era at this time, even the Beiyang armies of later generations would have to suffer in the face of this kind of formation.
Numb!
But since we are in the same era, there is no possibility of avoidance or escape. Either the enemy dies or we die!
On this land, it is destined that only one party can continue to live!
"In the middle camp, all the cavalry are on my back! Today, even if we fight to the last man, I will knock down Dorgon's arrogance!" Seeing that the Chunwa troops in front were already struggling, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Liu Ruyi also
Get angry!
Now that the soldiers are gone, you can practice again! But no matter what, this battle must not be lost!
At this time, seeing the tangled situation in front of them, the cavalry in the Central Military Camp could no longer bear it!
After receiving Liu Ruyi's order, in a moment, they were like wild horses that had escaped the reins, going crazy and rushing straight towards the sharp edge of the Qing army.
The Caishi Army's cavalry numbered less than 8,000. At this time, it was divided into three guerrillas. One was led by Zhang Mu, the other was led by Chen De, and the last one, with less than 2,000 men, was led by Li Dingguo.
lead.
These three cavalry units, except for Zhang Mu, are completely veterans of the Caishi Army. The other two units are each mixed with some local forces. The one under Chen De has absorbed many elites from the Central Plains Army.
, and Li Dingguo’s army has absorbed a lot of the essence of the refugee army! But among the two armies of Chen De and Li Dingguo, veterans of the Caishi Army still account for the majority!
Cavalry was definitely a scarce resource in the Ming Dynasty. Excellent war horses were hard to buy even if you had money!
Although Liu Ruyi is wealthy, these eight thousand cavalry have consumed a lot of Liu Ruyi's financial resources and energy!
It is no exaggeration to say that an excellent war horse at this time is definitely more precious than any Land Rover or Cayenne in later generations!
In later generations, luxury cars could be bought at a higher price, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty lost its pasture in the north, and it was like a fish pond that had dried up its water source. Even if you fill it with money, the fish cannot survive on the money!
To be more detailed, it only takes three or two months to get a driver's license in later generations, and normal people can basically master all the skills. However, the training of a cavalry requires training from an early age, which takes ten years, or even
After more than ten years of rigorous training and tempering, it is possible to grow into a truly qualified elite cavalry!
The cavalry training of the Caishi Army has taken shortcuts to increase the actual combat capabilities of the soldiers through constant battles!
At this time, without the support of absolutely overwhelming firepower, facing the sharpness of the Qing cavalry, Liu Ruyi could not care about anything else but to sacrifice his life!
Soon, the three cavalry battalions of the Caishi Army rushed into the battle formation and fought in a melee with the Qing army's elite cavalry!
War horses roar, life is like a tide!
Both sides have no choice. The only way to survive is to completely eliminate the other party from the ground!
Needless to say, Zhang Mu has long been holding back his energy and wants to show off his reputation as General Zhang on the battlefield against the Qing army! He wants to use this battle to establish himself as one of the younger generation generals of the Caishi Army.
status!
And Chen De, who is also young and vigorous, is eager to gain a foothold in the Colored Stone Army, so naturally he does not dare to slack off! The glory and wealth of their Chen family has long been inseparable from Liu Ruyi! In the battle before him, it is him
Great opportunity to earn enough capital!
Li Dingguo, this young hero who was born in the refugee army, was known as the last 'hero' of the Han people in later history! Although he only joined the Caishi Army camp at the instigation of Liu Ruyi, at this time, the blood in his chest was...
I have already been infected by this battlefield! The silver gun is flying in the hand, and the war horse is roaring under the crotch, just like Zhao Zilong was in Dangyangyi back then, he is unstoppable!
At this time, Wang Pu's tribe, which was originally dispersed to the periphery of the battlefield, saw the Caishi Army's cavalry coming up, and stopped escaping. They turned their horses around, followed the Caishi Army's cavalry, and swarmed towards the battlefield!
Suddenly, the situation on the entire battlefield became even more chaotic!
Every minute, every second, countless soldiers from both sides fell to the ground!
The vast wilderness under Pinggu City has completely turned into the bloodiest and most primitive slaughterhouse!
~~~~~
From morning to afternoon, this battle seemed to be endless!
Both sides have suffered heavy losses. Whether it is the Qing army or the Caishi army, their combat strength will probably be reduced by more than 30%!
But even so, no one on both sides took a step back and continued to fight in this empty land!
In the Caishi Army camp, Liu Ruyi's nerves were also highly tense!
If the situation continues like this, the two sides may fight into the night without a winner! We must find a way to speed up the process of the war!
In the Qing army's battle formation not far away, Dorgon also frowned.
In this morning's confrontation, the Qing army's losses were probably greater than what they saw before them!
The Colored Stone Army could still have a moment of respite by relying on the power of their positions and firearms, but the Qing'erlangs under his command relied entirely on their bravery to fight the Colored Stone Army with their lives!
If this stalemate continues, once the horse power is exhausted, the defeat of the Qing army will almost become inevitable!
Dorgon didn't have time to think too much. He slowly pulled out the sword from his waist and called to the most elite guard camp around him, "My sons, we don't have much time! Follow me and rush over! Go straight to Liu Ruyi.
