Chapter 188: Cavalry Duel (I)
Ao Bai led 30,000 iron horsemen to be blocked by the fire blocking the road for about a cup of tea, and the heavy rain came down, and Ao Bai led the army to continue the pursuit.
Thirty thousand iron horsemen trampled on the rain and fiercely pursued.
"Newspaper"
"My lord, the regent has ordered the army to camp to shelter from the rain." Dorgon was only a mile or two away, and the news of the camp reached in a moment.
"Humph! The army continues to pursue! Ao Bai snorted coldly and ordered the army to continue the pursuit.
Since seeing the strength of Ying Long's army, Ao Bai was a little dissatisfied with the Yellow Banner that Dolgon only sent his command and more than 10,000 Mongols to pursue the Ming army, thinking that Dolgon was deliberately consuming the strength of the Yellow Banner.
"When I win a big victory and play the emperor's might, see what else you have to say." Ao Bai sneered in his heart.
The firearms of the Ming Yinglong army are sharp, but so what, this heavy rain, not all of them have become burning sticks, without muskets, the Ming army is a lamb to be slaughtered in his eyes, even if it is the Ying Long army that has just shown not weak combat power, he has absolute confidence that all the Shandong Ming army, including the Ying Long army, can be annihilated under this heavy rain.
Although in the heavy rain, the Manchu bows and arrows are not easy to use, but the Manchus are known as the world's first cavalry, not only riding and shooting is their specialty, but also rushing and fighting is their specialty, even the Mongols who are also good at riding and archery can only submit to their Manchus.
In order to catch up with the Ming army as soon as possible, Aobai's iron cavalry rushed quickly.
Suddenly, on a dirt slope in front of him, there were dense figures, and it was Xie Zepeng's five thousand Ying Long army waiting here.
Xie Zepeng rode on the war horse, watching Ao Bai and the arrival of the 30,000 Manmeng iron horsemen with an expressionless face.
At a distance of more than 300 meters between the two sides, Ao Bai restrained his war horse, and all the 30,000 Manchurian and Mongolian iron horsemen stopped, facing Xie Zepeng's 5,000 Yinglong army.
"Heh, what do these dogs want to do? It's hard to think that you can't fight with me on horseback! The Han people's strange and skillful skills are really unreliable, and all of them will be invalidated after a heavy rain, and they will still have to fight bravely in the end! Ao Bai sneered.
"Sons, let this group of Ming dogs see how powerful our Daqing Iron Rider is! Kill them all! Ao Bai pulled out the steel knife tied to the back of the war horse and pointed forward, murderous.
The 30,000 Manmeng iron horsemen all pulled out their steel swords, and the boiling battle spirit washed away the coolness brought by the rain.
The last thing that the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry was afraid of was horse warfare, which was blocked by Ying Long's army with muskets before, and they couldn't fight to their heart's content, which had already made them hold back their anger, and at this moment, seeing that Ying Long's army was actually planning to fight with their horses, they all showed disdain!
"The Qing Dynasty Iron Rider is invincible in the world! Kill" 30,000 war horses galloped, mud splashed, and the waving steel knives looked cold and dazzling in a flash of lightning from time to time!
"Brothers, are you afraid!" In response to the formation of the Dragon Army, Xie Zepeng raised a flintlock pistol in his hand and asked loudly.
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! All Ying Longjun raised the flintlock pistols in their hands and replied loudly.
In the face of the charge of the 30,000 Manmeng iron cavalry in front of him, almost 6 to 1 disadvantage, the 5,000 soldiers of the Ying Long Army were fearless, and their courage was admirable.
"For the honor of the Ying Long Army, for the people of the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor! Kill" Xie Zepeng took the lead and rushed to kill first.
"Kill"
At this time, the two sides were only a short distance of one hundred meters, and the horses of the two sides rushed violently, and at most five breaths collided together, because it was not easy to use bows and arrows in the heavy rain, and the 30,000 Manmeng iron cavalry did not intend to use bows and arrows, or they did not take the five thousand Ying Long army in front of them in their eyes at all.
"Hehe, he actually wielded a burning stick to fight with my Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry, it's really looking for death!" Ao Bai could tell at a glance that Xie Zepeng was the commander of the Five Thousand Ying Long Army, his eyes were staring at Xie Zepeng, and he rushed towards Xie Zepeng.
As the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai was confident that he could cut Xie Zepeng off his horse within three moves.
All the Manmeng Iron Knights looked at the soldiers of the Ying Long Army rushing towards them with muskets in their hands, all of them sneered and despised each other, at this moment in the heavy rain, the Ying Long Army was still holding the muskets, in their eyes it was like bare-handed, a group of bare-handed Han people were not at their mercy to be slaughtered.
During the charge, Xie Zepeng also noticed that Ao Bai was rushing towards him, and looked like he was planning to cut him off his horse first. Xie Zepeng sneered in his heart, Ao Bai didn't look for him, he still wanted to find Ao Bai.
Xie Zepeng immediately glanced at several soldiers of the Yinglong Army beside him, this was a strategy offered to him by a hundred generals when they were waiting for the arrival of the Qing army's iron cavalry.
Capture the thief first capture the king, kill Aobai first, and hit the morale of the Qing army's iron cavalry in one fell swoop.
The two sides approached at great speed, fifty meters, twenty meters
Suddenly, the soldiers of the Ying Long Army who rushed to the front pointed the flintlock pistols in their hands at the Qing soldiers in front, and Xie Zepeng and several Ying Long soldiers beside him pointed their guns straight at Aobai, and there were six muskets aimed at Aobai.
"What's that?" Ao Bai was shocked and found that Ying Longjun's musket was wrapped in a layer of oiled paper to block the rain.
"Not good!" Ao Bai chuckled in his heart, and his eyes widened.
"Die!" Xie Zepeng sneered and pulled the trigger, and the other nameless soldiers of the Ying Long Army also pulled the trigger, and the gunshots sounded crisply in the heavy rain, and a full six buckshot shot towards Aobai.
With a short distance of only a dozen meters, even if the flintlock pistol is not very accurate, it is very easy to hit the enemy at such a short distance.
Ao Bai even sensed the breath of death, just at this critical moment, Ao Bai suddenly abandoned the horse and rolled to the ground, but there were still two lead bullets hit his right shoulder and rubbed his abdomen, the right shoulder was punched out of a blood hole, and the abdomen also rubbed a hot blood mark, Ao Bai was instantly injured not lightly, if it wasn't for a soldier with a yellow flag behind him to urgently strangle his war horse, Ao Bai was not killed by Xie Zepeng and others, but also trampled to death by his own side of the war horse.
"Boom! Kill" Xie Zepeng didn't care whether Ao Bai was dead or not, after throwing away the flintlock pistol that had been fired in his hand, he pulled out the horse chopping knife on the side of the horse and entered the Qing army, and started a fight with the Qing army.
"Bang bang bang" every Ying Long army picked the nearest Qing soldiers to shoot at them, and almost half of Ying Long's army could hit the target, and under this surprise, the Qing army's iron cavalry suddenly suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
All the flintlock pistols that had been fired were thrown on the ground, and the cold light was pulled out, and the Ying Long army and more than 20,000 Manchurian iron cavalry fought together.
The battle was fierce, and the rain on the ground was instantly dyed red.
