Chapter 500: Decisive Victory (Page 1/1)

Dasu led the team to gallop past the cavalry battle formation of the Ming army, and was about to beckon his subordinates to go around in a circle as usual, when the whole team turned around and came again, but suddenly saw more than 1,000 horsemen from the Ming army chasing after him.

He couldn't help but snort coldly, and said in his heart that these southerners were afraid that they would be dizzy, could they not be sent to death after chasing them like this?

The cavalry units of the Ming and Qing dynasties were dominated by sabre cavalry who were good at charging and killing infantry. In battle, if one side wants to run, it is difficult for the other side to effectively pursue and kill.

Because of the short length of the saber, the forward slash is interfered with by his own horse's head and the enemy's horse's buttocks, and he can't reach the opponent at all, so he can only chase parallel to the enemy's horse, so that he can swing the knife and slash. However, if the enemy cavalry maintains a dense formation, there is no gap for you to squeeze into, and even if you can form a situation where two horses are side by side, the two sides are slashing each other with knives, and the victory or defeat depends on their respective martial arts.

And Jianyu Xiao is good at riding and shooting, and he can continue to release arrows behind him in the process of running. As a result, the pursuers often chase behind and have nothing to do, but they often suffer a lot of casualties due to arrows.

Da Su drew a feather arrow, twisted his bow at 90 degrees on the saddle, but was surprised to see that some people in his rear team kept falling off their horses, and they were trampled by the Ming army horses that followed closely behind.

Jiao Lian aimed at the back of the captive rider in front of him with the sharp diamond-shaped tip of the spear, and did not poke it hard, only kicked the horse's belly, and used the power of the war horse to rush forward instantly, and stabbed the captives on the horse to the heart.

He led Zhu Linmiao's newly formed team of lancers, each with a reed wheel short gun, a spare saber, and the main weapon was a cavalry gun. The spear is nearly a foot long, and it can easily be poked over even from behind enemy riders.

Thousands of lancers chased after the Dasu horses, and the cavalry spears in their hands kept stabbing out and retracting, and a large number of captives in the last row rolled off their horses. In the blink of an eye, five or six hundred Jianzhou horsemen have been killed under the gun!

Da Su's heart sank, and he hurriedly ordered to release arrows to hit the enemy, and the arrows in his hands also swished backwards.

However, the cotton armor worn by the lancers of the Ming army was lined with steel sheets made of medium carbon steel produced in Longnan, and the head was also a wide-brimmed helmet made of stainless steel, which could cover all the faces with a slight bend.

It was a dense rain of arrows, and even if the occasional cotton armor was pierced, it was extremely difficult to inflict fatal wounds, and only twenty or thirty lancers withdrew from the battle because their mounts were shot at the vital point.

At the same time, the Ming spears skillfully picked up their guns and dropped their horses, picking off the captives in front of them. In a matter of moments, Dasu's backteam was in complete disarray.

It's a shame! Cold sweat broke out on Dasu's forehead, and he saw that the left flank of the Qing army was already in an unsupportable posture, so he hurriedly turned his head and said to the deputy general beside him: "Ge Dai, bring 1,500 people to block this team of Nanban!" ”

"Huh!"

Ge Dai responded, beckoned more than 1,000 horsemen to make a circle, and intercepted Jiao Lian's spear cavalry from the front side.

Da Su was relieved, gathered the crowd in a hasty formation not far away, waved his sword and shouted, and led his troops to rush to the infantry line of the broken battalion on the south side, only planning to rescue his own infantry first, and then use the battle formation of the firearms battalion to maneuver with the Ming cavalry.

But he had barely run half a mile when a dense cannon roar erupted from his side. Chen Xiongfei had been preparing near the infantry line for a long time, but he was limited to the range of the Franco's cannons, and did not give the order to open fire until the enemy cavalry attacked closely.

The cavalry of Dasusuo's department was suddenly frustrated, and had to desperately turn to the south side to avoid the stormy cannonballs of the Ming army as much as possible, but it was in this hurry that the formation immediately became chaotic. Chen Xiongfei was suffering from the lack of ammunition left, and only bombed off a corner of the captive cavalry brigade, and the solid ammunition was basically exhausted, otherwise he would have been destroyed within half a mile of Dasu's approaching the Ming infantry.

However, the heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guard on the side reorganized the formation, and the hussars who followed behind also completed the loading of the spring wheel short gun. With the order of the Zhu family, while Dasu was disrupted by the artillery battalion, the heavy cavalry battalion rushed towards him like a rhinoceros running wildly.

On the other side, Ge Dai led 1,500 horsemen to collide head-on with the spearmen of the Dragon Guard.

The lancers had already ridden forward with their spears flat under the command of Jiao Lian, their bodies lying on the saddle, their eyes fixed on the rapidly approaching captives on the opposite side.

The horses on both sides galloped in each other's directions, leaving them only a moment to stab the captive. That's why lancers are so difficult to train, and it's not easy to accurately stab an enemy with a narrow tip than a saber swing.

But Jiao Lian is worthy of being the first fierce general in Guidi, and he has family marksmanship, so he has trained a lancer worthy of a battle in a few months!

The moment the two armies touched, the sound of the tip of the spear piercing into the body was endless, and the more than four-foot-long saber in Jianlu's hand was far from reaching the Ming army, so he was picked up by the spear and fell from the horse. In this lightning work alone, at least forty percent of the captives were killed by guns.

The captives who were lucky enough to escape were secretly glad, and hurriedly picked up their sabers and prepared to cut at the Ming cavalry, but the Ming army immediately turned the cavalry gun in their hands and smashed it with an iron ball with a tail weight.

That's the advantage of the Lancer! Although they are not very effective against infantry, they are extremely useful against sabre cavalry! Although the training is difficult and the investment is high, in terms of the effectiveness of restraint and construction, these are worth it.

After the two teams of men and horses staggered past, Jiao Lian looked back and saw that there were only three or four hundred cavalry left, and they were already in chaos.

He ignored the remnants of the soldiers, pointed his spear at Dasu, and said in a loud voice, "Come with me!" ”

The remaining nearly 4,000 cavalry of Dasu were rushed by the heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guard Army in a messy formation, and then scattered by thousands of hussars.

Inadvertently, he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves gradually approaching behind him, and turned his head to see the Ming cavalry with spears just now following behind him.

Luckedhun's hands were trembling, and he couldn't understand why his nearly 70,000 troops, and more than half of them were Jianzhou elites, were beaten back by 30,000 Nanban.

At present, although his army is still struggling, the right flank of the firearms battalion has been defeated, and the left flank is about to be unable to withstand it, while the two teams of cavalry are entangled by the Ming army, and the future is uncertain.

Isn't that...... Is it going to be defeated......

He glanced at the Chizhou army on his side as the rear team, and knew that its combat strength was weak, but it could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

He pointed his whip at Yu Yongshou, "Order you to lead your troops to the left flank to support the firearms battalion!" At least give me an hour, or I'll see you! ”
