Chapter 1141 The One Who Becomes the Devil Dies
In less than a cup of tea, nearly 1,000 encircled Red Banner cavalry were completely annihilated by Xu Jiesheng's troops, and the first regiment of the first division did not suffer a single casualty.
Jin Enchuan was convinced, and he bowed his hand to Xu Jiesheng from his horseback, "Commander Xu, my brother really saw the combat effectiveness of the infantry brothers today, no wonder you hit the Tartar Red Flag and the Red Flag last night!"
"It's not a heavy blow to the Zhenghong Flag, but a total annihilation!" Xu Jiesheng returned the salute, "Everyone is a family, they are all Tartars, how can they divide each other?" Commander Jin, Senior Commander Yang needs you over there, go over quickly, after the battle, let's drink and talk again!"
"Commander Xu is right, the battle is not over yet, and I will go to reinforce the division commander in the next place!" Kim Eun Chuan slapped his horse and galloped north with the cavalry of the first regiment.
Xu Jiesheng looked at the cavalry in the distance, and said secretly in his heart: If there is no cavalry to restrain them, the infantry may not have this chance to annihilate the enemy, right?
The addition of thousands of cavalry of the first regiment of Jin Enchuan's division greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the remaining regiments of Yang Kun's department, replenished the crumbling formation, and was once again on parity with the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
On the periphery of the war group, the 1,000-strong squad of the 1st Division, which had been pushed flat to the north, was looking for every opportunity, as long as the Tartars were left alone, or accidentally appeared on the periphery, they would be fired at by rifles, and none of them were spared.
At the beginning, the cavalry of the fifth division still went out to fight, they had to use their swords in their hands, cut the Tartars under their horses, with the development of the war, many soldiers found the infantry behind them, the original infantry to destroy the Tartars, both fast and thorough, they did not have to suffer casualties......
While the cavalry was fighting, the news of the infantry spread on the battlefield, and more and more cavalry knew that the infantry was behind them.
The quick-witted cavalry deliberately guided the scattered Tartars outward, then pulled away and handed them over to the infantry in the flanks and rear.
When the Tartars were annihilated by the infantry, they went to attract new Tartars.
The thousand-strong troops scattered around the side and rear of the battlefield of the first division are like huge and greedy crocodiles, and the cavalry of the Tartars is their favorite delicacy, while the cavalry of the fifth division temporarily plays the role of breeders, attracting scattered Tartars one by one and feeding these "crocodiles" with blood......
At first it was just one or two Tartars, but the cavalry found that the infantry were all thousand-man troops, that is, there were a little more Tartars, and the infantry should be able to eat them, so they attracted small clusters of Tartars, and the greater the number of Tartars, the greater their courage, and the less difficult it was to attract them.
Zhou Fengwu stayed at the rear of the infantry, the fourth regiment Mao Xianwen did not fight, first, the battlefield was so big, there was no need for too many infantry to participate in the battle, and second, the fourth regiment was used as a strategic reserve army.
Watching his subordinate infantry make contributions on the battlefield, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
The infantry's appetite was great, and as long as the Tartars came, no matter how many, they would all be wiped out, and the Tartars would never be given a chance to go back and send a message.
If you let the Tartars go and spread the news that the Destiny Army infantry were shooting the Tartars in the rear, the scattered Tartars shouldn't be stupid enough to come and die, right?
He seems to have heard a story from the emperor that whales in the sea are the most intelligent animals except humans, smarter than monkeys, and if whales pass on their life experience to the next generation, within six generations, the whale's IQ will catch up with humans.
I don't know if it's true or not, maybe the emperor is right.
Now the lone Tartars on the battlefield are like whales, if they send back the news that the Providential Destiny infantry is waiting to shoot them behind the battlefield, there should be no more Tartars to send them to death.
If a thousand gunners can't wipe out all the Tartars, the formation will be broken by the Tartars, and the infantry will suffer a catastrophe.
The thousand-man squad in front, whether it is a big appetite or to prevent the Tartars from bringing the message back, should completely annihilate every cluster of Tartars.
Zhou Fengwu watched the Tartars fall into a pool of blood one by one, and he was quite satisfied.
Dolgon, however, became more and more anxious as he fought.
I thought that I would soon be able to defeat the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven on the opposite side, but several times, I had almost broken through the obstruction of the Mandate of Heaven, as long as the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven Army broke through the gap, the Mandate of Heaven Army could be scattered, and the two sides entered a melee in the real sense.
This kind of group melee is completely a competition and attrition, the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven suffered heavy casualties, and the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty will not be much better.
Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself!
Such a war of attrition, the Qing Dynasty absolutely could not afford it, the number of Han people was too large, almost inexhaustible, but the Manchus were very noble, and the cavalry of the whole country was no more than ......
Such a stalemate battle made Dolgon both frightened and frightened, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty had already suffered too many casualties, in case the war was unfavorable...... Although this possibility is not a small smile, he is the regent of the emperor's uncle in the Great Qing Dynasty, and must be careful.
When thousands of reinforcements from the Mandate of Heaven Army appeared on the battlefield, Dolgon knew that the part of the Red Banner warriors who were trapped in the encirclement of the Mandate of Heaven Army might have been more than lucky, and he even had the idea of retreating, with the speed of the Qing cavalry, if he took the initiative to retreat, the Mandate of Heaven Army should not be able to catch up.
Do they dare to chase after them?
The battlefield then showed some changes, although the Mandate of Heaven Army sent some infantry, but in such a complex struggle, the infantry was useless at all, the firearms were not long-sighted, if the shot, the soldiers on both sides had an equal chance of casualties, would the Mandate of Heaven Army abandon its cavalry?
More importantly, he saw with his own eyes that the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven Army was only excited for a while, and then there was a decline, and the warriors of the Qing Dynasty began to fight into the formation of the Mandate of Heaven Army, although the number of people was small, but the longer the time, it would definitely disrupt the formation of the Mandate of Heaven Army.
As long as the formation is chaotic, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty will kill them with overwhelming momentum, and the Heavenly Mandate Army will be defeated!
This opportunity, he has been waiting for a long time.
In today's battle, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, and only by defeating this cavalry, or even annihilating them completely, can they be considered to have recovered a game, at least it is an undefeated situation.
Dolgon didn't know how many cavalry on both sides had been killed, the ground was full of mutilated corpses, the armor was stained red with blood, and it was impossible to distinguish between the soldiers of China and the warriors of the Qing Dynasty.
He just had a feeling that the soldiers in Huaxia suffered heavier casualties.
Now there are no casualties counted at all, in addition to the huge battle group in front, there are many small battles on the sides, in front and in the rear, even the smartest shamans cannot calculate how many cavalry are left on the battlefield.
Dolgon didn't have time to calculate the number of casualties, and with this time, it was better to kill a few more Chinese cavalry.
The gongs and drums are noisy, the war horses are roaring, and the shouts and screams of the soldiers are not inferior in any way......
Dolgon had a feeling that this was a decisive battle, a decisive battle between the fate of the Qing Dynasty and China, once the Qing Dynasty defeated the cavalry of the opposite China, not only the siege of Shengjing was immediately resolved, but it was not impossible for the warriors to take back Tokyo with the power of victory; If the Chinese cavalry wins......
When pigs fly!
The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, who grew up on horseback since they were children, were united in man and horse, and were unparalleled in riding and shooting, how could they lose to the Heavenly Mandate Army with a considerable number?
Dorgon swung his scimitar, slashed at the head of a soldier, and then pulled it sideways and backwards, and the soldier screamed and fell off his horse, quickly losing his voice.
The corners of his mouth showed a sneer, as if that soldier of the Heavenly Mandate Army was the entire Heavenly Mandate Army.
Li Xin couldn't sit still in the camp.
Since last night, it's almost noon, six hours, and there is almost no gap.
The rangers kept sending back messages, the battle was still stalemate, and although the first division shot a lot of Tartars, it could not solve the fundamental problem, and the main forces of the Tartars were still there.
The Fifth Division was a newly formed cavalry division, and if it could not withstand Dolgon's attack, it would be a rout.
Li Xin left the Bai Guangen Division of the Fourth Division to garrison the big battalion, and personally led the Li Mou Division of the Second Division to rush to the battlefield.
Li Xinyi did not stop doing two things, and directly divided the second division into two divisions equally, and he and Li Mou each led two regiments, maintained the battle formation, and pushed it flat from both sides.
Death to those who do!
Zhou Fengwu saw that the general was going to fight hard, and he also gathered the gunners and coerced Dolgon's rear, once Dolgon was defeated and fled, the formation of the first division was the ghost gate pass of the Manchu cavalry.
Dolgon saw with his own eyes that the Mandate of Heaven had increased the number of infantry, and his heart panicked, and when he turned around, he saw that the small warbands around the original main battlefield had long since disappeared.
In the entire battlefield, only this core land where he personally fought was left.
He was shocked into a cold sweat in his heart, could it be that the Manchu warriors in the various battle groups were all annihilated by the Heavenly Mandate Army? No, absolutely impossible, how could the warriors all be annihilated?
Dolgon stopped the scimitar in his hand, and when he looked closely, his heart was half cold, and behind both sides were the Kyushu military flags of the Heavenly Mandate Army!
What's going on?
Beads of sweat oozed from Dolgon's forehead, but he knew that he did not have time to hesitate, the infantry of the Mandate of Heaven had already surrounded from both sides, and if the main cavalry was surrounded, with the firearms of the Han Chinese......
Abatai Pegasus rushed over, "Uncle Regent, let's ...... We're almost surrounded......"
"What are you afraid of," Dolgon calmed down in front of him, "The infantry of the Mandate of Heaven can still stop the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
Abatai pointed to the sides with his hand, and gasped: "Uncle Huang, Lord Regent, the Mandate of Heaven Army...... Mandate of Heaven ......"
Dolgon followed Abatai's finger and saw tens of thousands of Celestial Mandate infantry on either side, all armed with firearms, not rushing into the battlefield, but around behind them.
This is to cut off the back road of the Qing cavalry!
In another quarter and a half hours, the infantry on both sides will be closed, and a complete encirclement will be formed......
Dolgon couldn't care about his face anymore, and he shouted in a low voice: "Withdraw the army!"
