He Qingshan took the lead, leading a battalion of 500 cavalrymen, and charged directly at the cavalrymen under the Zhenghuang Banner.
He was born as a general, and his father and grandfather were hereditary guards commanders. This time, he spent money to move him to the Beijing camp and served as a guard. Because he was the second oldest child and would not inherit his father's official position, the family specially gave him activities.
Find an opportunity to serve.
When he was at home, there was a gun and stick instructor who taught him some martial arts. He considered himself to be quite proficient in bow and horse. He didn't take Jiannu seriously. In his opinion, it was just that, but there were a lot of rubbish in the army.
, after losing the battle, they would try their best to exaggerate the enemy's strength in order to regain face for themselves.
On the opposite side, Niulu Erzhen, a two-meter-tall man, rode a very strong horse and led three hundred cavalry to charge over. The distance between the two sides quickly closed to within thirty meters.
He Qingshan and others all drew out their sabers and raised them high, preparing to slash at the enemy at the moment when the horses' necks met.
But the other party made a move that was puzzling to them.
I saw the man suddenly pull out a huge bow from his back. The bow was five feet high and low. This was not a riding bow used by cavalry. It was simply a large bow used for infantry combat.
Such a large bow stunned the cavalry in this battalion.
The cavalry was all about slashing and killing. The moment the two cavalry passed each other, they started fighting with their swords. It was up to them to see who was more steady and ruthless. However, no one pulled out their bows and arrows before the battle.
At a distance of less than thirty meters, the two sides can rush together in the blink of an eye. It is already too late to draw the sword.
He Qingshan smiled grimly, "You are seeking death yourself, so you can't blame Sajia."
I saw a group of people behind the giant man, all making the same movements. Just when He Qingshan and the others were stunned, Jian Nu quickly pulled out a large arrow more than one meter long from his quiver, bent his bow and shot it out quickly.
The movements are smooth and flowing, with no unnecessary movements at all.
The whole process was as fast as lightning. Before I could react, the big arrow with the shovel arrow had already reached the front door.
He Qingshan was shocked. When he was in crisis, he tilted his head and whipped the flying arrow with his riding crop. Fortunately, he had really studied archery seriously for ten years. Otherwise, he would not have reacted so quickly.
The big shovel arrow flew past his left ear and directly shoveled off the decoration on the left side of his phoenix-winged helmet. A series of sparks erupted. The huge impact almost hurt his neck.
Others were not so lucky. A burst of screams could be heard. More than a hundred people fell from their horses.
He Qingshan arrived in front of the giant man in the blink of an eye. He thought to himself, at this time, you should give up your bow and draw your sword. Unfortunately, you don't have this time anymore.
He raised his sword and pointed it diagonally at him, ready to chop him down the moment he passed by. He would be chopped down with one strike.
In the light of the calcium carbide fire, the giant man once again pulled out a big arrow from his quiver and shot it at He Qingshan's face. As a result, the arrow had already arrived before the knife came down.
The big arrow almost cut off He Qingshan's neck. Even the man flew away from the horse due to the impact.
The power of the 17-power tiger bow is extraordinary. Ordinary iron armor cannot stop it at close range. What's more, if it is shot directly on the neck, such a soft part is even more vulnerable. The spine is almost broken in two. The blood flows from
It spurted out wildly from the neck.
In this round, the arrow rain from Zhenghuang Banner once again took away more than a hundred people. A Niulu cavalry team of three hundred people was like a wedge, deeply inserted into the Ming army's ranks.
The remaining more than a hundred cavalrymen were so frightened that they were stunned. They had never dreamed of such a face-defying output. They immediately turned their horses and ran away, trying to avoid these murderous gods.
At this time, these cavalrymen had time to put their big bows back into their bow bags, and then pulled out their sabers.
The Manchus are a nation that thoroughly engages in mounted archery. In order to make it easier to draw out their bows and arrows, they even changed the way their waist knives are hung. Today when we look at the ancient paintings handed down from the Qing Dynasty, we will find that their waist knives are
The scabbard is forward and the handle is hung backward.
Our normal hanging method is just the opposite. The normal hanging method is that the handle of the knife is forward and the scabbard is backward. When drawing the knife, draw the knife forward.
In order to make it easier for them to draw the big bow horizontally from the bow bag on their backs, they simply put the handle of the knife backwards. This way, there is no long object like a scabbard behind to hinder them, and they can draw the bow quickly.
On the battlefield, at the moment of life and death, people's first reaction is often to choose the field they are most familiar with and best at. Therefore, it can be seen in many documents that when the Eight Banners soldiers passed by each other and encountered a battle, their first reaction was
Draw a bow and shoot an arrow. Even shoot in the face.
Obai wiped the blood from his eyelids with his left hand and roared.
He raised his sword and rushed towards the head of the second cavalry battalion.
A knife was cut on the neck of a hundred households. The armor could not protect this place. Then, he ducked down to avoid the knife of the cavalry that passed by him on the right. Then he raised the knife with his backhand, turned around, and slashed him in the back.
.
Obai was so powerful that although he didn't cut through the armor, he was knocked off his horse and was trampled to death by the following cavalry.
Chongzhen's face turned pale with shock. Standing on a high place, he could clearly see that when the cavalry from both sides clashed, the Eight Banners were like boiling soup and pouring snow, cutting down the 3,000 troops of the Beijing camp and turning them upside down. There was almost no enemy left.
The battle ended almost as soon as the two sides met. The Eight Banners cavalry rushed past, leaving behind them the dead bodies of the Beijing camp. They destroyed and penetrated all the way.
In the blink of an eye, the Eight Banners and the Three Thousand Battalion were fighting on all fronts, and the large groups of people from both sides were mixed together. The people in the front fell off their horses one after another, and the people behind were so frightened that they almost fell off their horses. They turned around and ran away in all directions.
The Fifth Army Camp was even worse. They were immediately defeated by the Eight Banners. The war horses rushed into their formation, knocking people away. Groups of war horses jumped past, crossed the infantry line overhead, and jumped into the formation.
There were more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and they directly broke through more than a dozen large holes in the Fifth Army Camp of more than 50,000 people.
The Fifth Army Camp was full of slick products, and they collapsed in an instant. They didn't even offer any decent resistance.
Zhang Geda made a quick decision. He rushed over, bent down and pulled up the reins of Chongzhen's horse, and ran back.
The Jin Yiwei and others were stunned and did not react. When they reacted, the emperor was already surrounded by the Xinghe Regiment's cavalry, and they galloped towards the road they came from.
The horses trained by the Xinghe regiment were all good horses, tall and long-legged. One step was almost equivalent to two steps for the Beijing camp's war horses. They couldn't catch up at all. At this time, the front was completely defeated, and everyone was running back. There was chaos.
, trampling on each other like an avalanche.
Before Chongzhen understood what was going on, he was dragged away.
"How dare you, what are you going to do? How dare you kidnap me."
Zhang Jida ignored him. At this time, it was more important to escape, so why bother talking.
