When the cavalry group was at its most impactful, it was at the moment of the collision. Hundreds or even thousands of horses in groups, rushing at maximum speed, the weight of people and horses plus the speed of the horses galloping, resulting in a huge collision force. Before the advent of the steam engine, the force generated by this collision was perhaps one of the greatest forces that man could effectively control.

And the infantry crouching on the ground could only withstand these galloping, monster-like shock cavalry with dense arrays and spears. If their array is not tight enough, their hearts are not calm enough, and there are not many shooting weapons that can disrupt the opponent's shock formation, then the consequences are usually a disaster with heavy casualties!

Now in the first line, the training of the Shandong regiment has suffered a disaster! Their array, which was already a bit loose, was swept by seven or eight thousand arrows, and now it was barely maintained. And the people's hearts are also panicked to the extreme, even if Li Dakai personally leads the supervision team to the top, it will have no effect.

Before the impact came, the footsteps of some regimental training soldiers had already moved backwards uncontrollably...... At this moment, hundreds of galloping war horses crashed into this crumbling defense line!

The line of defense crumbled in an instant! Although one or two hundred pikemen resisted to the end, they pierced the chests of dozens of war horses with their spears, and stabbed to death many brave Eight Banner soldiers. But the remaining hundreds of iron horsemen were still like a flood, completely submerging them.

The war horse itself is a weapon, and the horse's hooves trampling and chest impact can cause fatal damage. And the spear in the hands of the Eight Banners is a sharp weapon for harvesting life. At the moment of impact, it was all unstoppable by the blessing of high speed.

The battle line of the Shandong regiment's training was broken in this way!

After the crash, it's a saber slash!

The fierce Eight Banners will not retreat immediately after completing a single impact, as their hand-to-hand combat skills are far stronger than any opponent they have encountered. And the soldiers of the Shandong Regiment Training Army, which had collapsed in battle, were powerless to resist at all, and just retreated in panic. The archers behind them didn't even have spears, and they couldn't resist the Eight Banners on horseback, so they could only run backwards together.

At this moment, the trumpets and drums of the charge once again resounded in the sky above the Qing cavalry cluster. Then the horse's hooves were like thunder, shouting to kill the heavens...... Another round of horse team assault of the Qing army has begun!

This time, the two waves of cavalry in front and back cooperated, with cavalry shooting in front and charging behind, but the target was pointed to a section of the Ming army's battle line that had not yet collapsed - the charging formation just now only destroyed a battle line three or four hundred steps long, and did not form a general collapse. Since the hand-to-hand combat was still continuing at the breakthrough just now, Duoduo changed the battle line and continued to rush.

As long as you break through a few more sections, you can drive this old guy Gao Hongtu into the dirt river to feed the fish!

"Kill the Tartars! Divide the field! Kill the Tartars! Divide the fields......"

Just when Duoduo thought that victory was in sight, the rear of the Ming army suddenly let out a tsunami-like cry.

The counterattack of the Ming army actually began!

The target of the counterattack was the hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers who had just broken through the first line of the Ming army, and when they were slashing and killing the fleeing Ming soldiers, they were already standing on the edge of the Tuhe River, and there was nowhere to retreat.

100 acres of land resting in today's murderous Shandong, in fact, is not a heavy reward, but the farmers' desire for land is working, so that everyone can muster up their fighting spirit again.

And there is only one condition for receiving a heavy reward, that is, to repel the Qing soldiers and keep the tall governor back to Jinan. If Gao Hongtu jumped into the Tu River, no one would be able to give them a bunch of bitter peasants to divide the land!

The Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, who were slashing people, were also startled by this sudden shout, and a few of them stopped slashing people and looked up, wondering what was going on?

And what appeared in their eyes was a scene that they would never forget. I saw hundreds of sword soldiers running over with shields in one hand and javelins in the other...... It's a javelin!

Are these people crazy? I'm still fighting hand-to-hand on my side! When people on both sides get together, you throw javelins...... You Nikans are ruthless, kill everyone yourself!

"Cast!"

The officer of the Ming army who led the team shouted, and hundreds of javelins were thrown out with a strong wind!

This is not aimed at the tender gun, but the fire cover! Hundreds of javelins pierced down without a head, and dozens of tartars were broken in one wave...... There were also almost the same number of Shandong regiment training soldiers who were killed and injured by mistake, and dozens of war horses were pierced through their bodies.

The one-sided killing field was in chaos, and everyone was stunned, and they all ran backwards together...... The Ming army ran towards the Tuhe River, while the Qing army ran towards the large array where Duoduo was.

On the other side, Duoduo had just commanded two teams of cavalry, and broke a section of the Ming army's battle line with the tactics of cavalry archery and charging formation, and he was happy to see his warriors rushing back!

What's going on? Why aren't the Eight Banners warriors brave? Duoduo was a little annoyed, so he asked the white-armored soldiers around him to go up and pull the armor Lazhangjing who led the team to attack and asked.

After asking, he also gasped.

Throwing javelins at the crowd of people fighting on both sides...... This group of Ming soldiers is really open-minded!

"Pass on Cao Zhenyan!" Duoduo gritted his teeth, and asked someone to pass on Zhang Jing and Cao Zhenyan of Hongyi Cannon Niulu.

Because he already knows that there is still a bloody battle to be fought today! Of course, the advantage is in the Qing army, but the Ming army is not about to collapse at the touch of a button...... Their will to fight and combat effectiveness already reminded Duoduo of the white pole soldiers in the Battle of the Hunhe River.

To deal with such an enemy, it is not possible to blindly rush hard. Now the only way to do this is to charge their shield carts with cavalry, force them to the edge of the river, and slowly settle the battle with Hongyi cannons and bows and arrows.

Victory belongs to the Qing Dynasty after all!

......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Li Chengdong, who had already led his men all the way to Tuhe Renzi Fort, was about to enter the city, and suddenly heard a thunderous sound in his ears. He looked up at the sky, and it was already dawning, and it was blue, and there were no clouds.

Li Chengdong asked left and right, "Which of you heard the thunder?" ”

"Chief soldier, that's not thunder, it seems to be a Hongyi cannon!"

"Hongyi cannon? They all rushed out, why are they still firing? He hurriedly turned back and looked west, and suddenly saw many "old peasants" running barefoot along the official road.

What's going on?

A scholar-born battalion leader was a disciple of Gao Hongtu, and he came to Li Chengdong's horse crying, pulled his reins and said: "Chief soldier, I waited for the Tartars to be ambushed, and the teacher's brigade was surrounded by the Tuhe River, and my life hung by a thread......

What the? Gao Hongtu's life is hanging by a thread? How good is that?

Li Chengdong was also a little stunned, and he didn't know what to do for a while. One of his henchmen stepped forward and said to him at this time: "Futai is surrounded by Tartar soldiers, and there are many bad lucks, so the general army might as well pack up the men and horses, retreat to the capital of Jinan, and then make plans." ”

"No!" The disciple of Gao Hongtu hurriedly shouted, "There is no teacher, there is still King Lu in Shandong, and there is Zuo Tuanlian!" ”

Oh, yes!

There is no Gao Hongtu, there is Zhu Yihai, and Zuo Maodi...... As long as there is a will of Zhu Cihong, one of the two of them can succeed to the governor of Shandong and take over Gao Hongtu's regimental training and territory.

So Li Chengdong wants to control Jinan Mansion and become a warlord, it's a dream at all! Moreover, among the 2,000 or hundreds of people who have come out with him now, only a little more than 400 are his family members, and the rest are Shandong group training. With a little more than 400 strength, being a traitor is also a thousand general level!

"This ......" Li Chengdong is also embarrassed!

If he doesn't fish Gao Hongtu out, he won't have to mix it up - Gao Hongtu still owes him a Tai'an Prefecture!

But if you want to make a big plan, you may put yourself in it.

The battalion leader suggested: "General soldiers, it is better to call the 2,000 defenders of Shangrenzi Fort, gather some escaped regimental training, and gather 5,000 people to rescue Gao Futai." ”

"5,000 people is not enough!" Li Chengdong still shook his head.

"Chief soldier, we can cross the Tuhe River and fight the soldiers and horses placed by the Tartars on the north bank of the Tuhe River...... Maybe you can get it! ”

This battalion officer was very observant, and when he fled, he kept an eye on the situation on the other side of the Tu River. He found that the Qing army on the other side of the Tuhe River was very scattered, pulling out a total of more than ten miles, and not all of them were Eight Banner soldiers, most of them were infantry, and they should be Green Battalion soldiers.

"Good!" Li Chengdong was overjoyed, "That's it...... Let's go and save Governor Gao together! ”

......

"Futai, quickly avoid the cannon!"

Boom......

Gao Hongtu had been forced into the Tuhe River at this time, not in the "deep water area", but in the "shallow water area" near the river bank, and the water was not up to his knees. He was now barefooted, with a dead cloth visor and an iron helmet on his head. There were two other soldiers around him who pulled him into the water - not to drown him, but to crouch in the water to avoid the shells.

The Qing army's 10 Hongyi cannons have been set up, and they are firing at the seven or eight thousand Ming troops who were squeezed to the bank of the river and put out a spear but a moon formation!

At the same time, many Eight Banners soldiers also came up pushing the shield cart (captured), and under the cover of the shield cart, they shot arrows in waves.

The Shandong regiment has already suffered heavy casualties...... The living can even build a ring bunker out of corpses and mud and sand.

But to such a point, these Shandong regiments under Gao Hongtu are still resisting to the death - they also have to carry them, their families are all in Jinan Mansion, and they are all under Gao Hongtu's "protection".

And there are still many people in the army who have signed the damn "Asking for Hu Lu", and now the blacklist is in the hands of Duoduo, the prince of Daqing Jin!

If you don't fight, Duoduo will arrest people and dig graves according to the list!

Therefore, during the interval of the Qing army's shelling, the scholars in the army shouted to cheer on the old peasants.

"After a while, reinforcements will come soon......"

"King Lu's soldiers are here soon!"

"The 50,000 troops trained by the left regiment are on the road......"

"Governor Shi's Confucian Temple Holy Soldiers are coming soon, they are all invulnerable gods!"

The shouts reached Gao Hongtu's ears, he was already desperate, where are the reinforcements!

"It's over, it's over...... I don't want me to be ambitious and wise, but now I have mistaken the country in using troops to fight, or if I don't succeed, I will become benevolent! ”

After saying the dejected words, the tall governor suddenly shook off the two soldiers who were pulling him, and walked into the earth river as soon as he turned around.

The water of the earth river is not very deep, and it can't drown Gao Hongtu. But on the other side, there are many green battalion soldiers with bows, arrows, knives and guns waiting for meritorious service!

Can Gao Hongtu hit it up? Either to shoot or to be captured alive.

The two pro-soldiers who were protecting him were anxious, and shouted while chasing: "Futai, Futai, the water is cold, the water is cold, the water is cold......"

Gao Hongtu also replied to them: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this official is not afraid of cold water!" ”

He was not afraid of the cold water, and the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army guarding the other side of the Tuhe River suddenly became chaotic, shouting and fleeing in all directions.

Gao Hongtu saw this scene, it was a little strange, could it be that he was scared of those Dongyu Green Battalion soldiers with his righteousness?

When he was confused, two of his personal soldiers had already pounced on him and grabbed him, and one of them was still shouting: "Yes, yes, it's General Li's soldiers who came to save us!" ”
