Li Chengdong also woke up from the contemplation and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw that the rampant array of the merchant army was being promoted to himself as a whole.
Although the progress of the merchant army is not fast, and after more than ten steps, they will stop and sort out their own queues, and then follow the ti forward. However
Slow, at most, it is half an hour, and you can get close to the range of the gunpowder. And Li Chengdong looked at the left and right soldiers, and one by one was scared by the fight just now.
I involuntarily stepped back, for fear of being seen by Li Chengdong, and sent it to attack the merchant army.
In fact, Li Chengdong was very clear in his heart. What kind of goods are the babies under their own hands, and if you want them to attack the merchant army, it is impossible. Don't look at themselves.
Then, then
But what should I do now? It must not be able to fight the merchant army, but so retreat, there is still three or four thousand cavalry behind the infantry? This military common sense Li Chengdong still has it.
The cavalry will never be vegetarian. Although Li Chengdong also has nearly a thousand cavalry, but after watching the firepower of the merchant army, Li Chengdong also dispelled the idea of using the cavalry to charge.
So in vain, so what planned to do next?
Just when Li Chengdong was still hesitant, the merchant army went forward for a distance of 50 or 60 steps. Although the merchant army advanced slowly, it brought another heavy pressure to the Qing army in virtue.
The enemy, who is almost impossible to defeat, and forced himself step by step, who will become more and more nervous.
Because it is the front row of soldiers, although the range distance from the merchant army is far from the range of the merchant army, they all feel that they are completely exposed to the muzzle of the other party.
, Want to hide behind the soldiers behind the row, and the soldiers in the rear row naturally did not want to become the front row, so they also retreated in the backward direction, or blocking the back gap of the soldiers in front, so as not allowed to let the soldiers from the back of the soldiers.
They step back.
At the beginning, the Qing soldiers still moved backwards, but soon turned into turn back, and they pushed each other and shrugged each other.
Then, then
Although Li Chengdong also wanted to rectify people and horses, but unfortunately his people and horses were never seen with respect for discipline. As a result, it could only be more and more chaotic.
At this moment, only hearing "Boom -Boom -Boom -Boom--" The sound of artillery came from the merchant army. It turned out that the Qing army was chaotic, and Shang Yi also saw it very clearly in the command car.
At this time, the merchant army promoted the distance of seventy or eighty steps. Twenty medium -sized artillery could almost hit the Qing army's array, so Shang Yi also ordered immediately to shoot the artillery.
At this time, the Qing army was originally on the edge of the collapse, and the twenty cannonballs fell into the main formation of the Junjun, and it became the last straw that crossed the camel. Many Qing soldiers immediately turned around and ran backwards.
It finally triggered the overall defeat of the Qing army. And Li Chengdong also knew that he was going to the trend, and the defeat could not be recovered. Therefore, he could only lead the cavalry to escape first.
Shang Yi met in the battlefield and immediately ordered that the entire army pursued. The soldiers of the merchant army also inserted a bayonet and ran away to catch up with the Qing soldiers. After the infantry queue, the Qing army pursued the past.
All the cavalry regiments played this time were light armored cavalry and light cavalry. Although mounts were not Andalusa horses, they were also carefully selected in Mongolian horses. The soldiers basically only wore one chest armor. There will be a small amount of care, so the speed is extremely fast, and the distance between two or three hundred steps can be chased.
And this kind of pursuit is originally the best cavalry, because at this time the Qing army was defeated by the entire army, and everyone only took care of the escape, and they had no intention to resist the chase of the merchant army. Fang, gently swinging the knife with the impact of war horses, you can easily cut off the armor of the Qing soldiers, cut the clear soldiers to death or hurt the ground. If the part is cut, it can be a knife. The person's head was cut off, so he immediately killed the Qing soldier's head and rolled, and the corpse across the ground, and there was no shortage of arms.
Seeing that the merchant army was pursuing, the Qing soldiers were scared and fired, and they escaped faster. Some estimated that they could not run away, and they immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered. Basically, it is commonplace. Almost individuals have three or four surrender experiences. For the surrender of the Qing Army, they were escorted by the infantry behind, and the cavalry continued to chase the defeat of the Qing army. The meaning of the absolute.
The Qing army defeated more than 20 miles, and the merchant army also chased out for more than 20 miles, biting dead, and along the road was the corpse of the Qing soldiers, the knife and gun weapons, flags and other items.
At this time, the Qing army hesitated to the entrance of the Yellow River in Hongbu Lake. In this era, the Yellow River was not entered from the Bohai Sea as later generations. Then, in the middle of the Yellow River, it actually became a tributary of the Yellow River. In the future, Hong River was not related to the Yellow River, but at this time, it was connected with the Yellow River.
The Qing army led by Li Chengdong is to cross the lake at the entrance of the Yellow River in Hongze Lake, because the lake here is the narrowest distance and less than a kilometer width. At the same time, more than 100 ships are left here. , It was originally used to meet Haoge to cross the lake, but at this time it became a channel for the Qing army to escape.
The cavalry led by Li Chengdong ran the fastest. He came to Hongze Lake early and fled to the north bank of Hongze Lake through the floating bridge. This was relieved and stopped waiting for the defeat.
But when the defeat army rushed to Hongze Lake, it was not as easy as Li Chengdong. One was the large number of defeats, and the capacity of the pontoon bridge was limited. Now that I have retreated to the lake, I have no way to retreat. Therefore, the defeat of the army also scrambled to escape with the bridge. Some of the clear soldiers who could not squeeze the bridge, then grabbed the ships of the lakeside.
At this moment, the cavalry of the merchant army was chased by Hongze Lake, and they did not chase away it again, but fired with a short shot from the Qing Army. In a group of knights, two people paid the blame to fill in the bomb, one person paid the blame to shoot, and actually used three consecutive shots. Therefore, the gunfire beside the lake was made, and the Qing army was beaten into the film.
So the clear soldiers were desperately squeezed inward, and the Qing soldiers inside desperately squeezed the floating bridge and the boat. After full, I left the shore and wiped out to the north bank. In order to compete for the location of the ship and the floating bridge, there were also many clear soldiers added, and the swordsmen met each other. Regardless of the spring cold of February, jump into the lake water to swim on the other side, but most of the Qing army soldiers will not be water, and can only scold them on the shore. The soldiers were pushed and drowned in the lake. Of course, a considerable number of soldiers saw hopeless escape, and also launched a dying attack on the merchant army. Then, then
But at this moment, the infantry of the merchant army also rushed to Hongze Lake, which also strengthened the firepower of the merchant army several times. Developing a fan -shaped, the Qing army was firmly trapped by the lake, and the surrounding circle was smaller and smaller. Sixty artillery was re -raised by the lake, and the boats and the pontoon bridge in the lake were bombarded. Only the water columns are constantly rushing to the sky.
After a while of effort, three ships were broken by artillery. They sinking in the water, and the clear soldiers of the ship were screaming. All the vessels from the shore were desperately scratching to the other side, and no one dared to take risks to save people at this time. Other vessels that were also parked on the shore did not dare to launch the water easily, and the merchant army should be the army army as the army as the army. Cannon target.
Ferry is the same. The pontoon bridge is also the focus of the merchant army. On both sides of the pontoon, there are also water columns rising from the lake, and the entire pontoon bridge is crowded with people. It is almost as flat as the bridge plate. Some people have been squeezed into the water from the pontoon.
At this time, a cannonball was finally hit by a "bombardment" explosion of the Pont Bridge. The pontoon sounded, and suddenly listened to the sound of "bombardment". The pilling bridge was split, and it became a few sections. The clear soldiers of the bridge were as follows of dumplings. Tengza earns, only a few people can catch some wooden boards and can support it for a while, and most of the Qing soldiers can only irrigate the lake and sink into the bottom of the lake.
The Poor Bridge was broken, and the ferry ship was also controlled by the Merchant Army, and the surrounding of the merchant army could not be rushed out. Fortunately, Shang Yi was unwilling to create more kills. After all, these people are not the real clearing soldiers, so they also accepted their surrender. They were arranged for the whole team and escorted them back to Huai'an City.
And Li Chengdong saw it very clearly on the north bank of Hongze Lake. At this time, it was understood that the prestige of the merchant army in the past was true. But now Li Chengdong has no other way. , Escape back to Xuzhou to see Haoge.
