Chapter Ninety-Four: Defeating the Old Hui Cavalry

Ma Shouying escorted the pond horse behind the old thief's foot soldiers, which was originally a battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but no matter how fast he chased and how ferociously he slashed at the deserters, the foot soldiers who fled like a tide still fled in all directions regardless of the tide. Obviously, no matter how fierce Ma Shouying's Tang Ma is, it is not as terrible as the officers and soldiers on the small mound.

In the blink of an eye, half of the five thousand old thieves were shot, and the rest were crushed. Ma Shouying's face turned pale, and he secretly said that he was defeated like this today? Lost to such an army of just over 1,000 people?

Even if he can escape, his prestige will be damaged in the future, who else will look up to his team, and who will want to join his command? Defeated by such a 1,000-strong army of officers, how will his own soldiers and horses face the officers and troops in the future, won't they tremble and flee when they see the officers and troops?

No, Ma Shouying still has one last trump card.

Ma Shouying drew his sword and shouted: "All the Tang horses rushed after me, attacked the cannons on the north flank of the officers and soldiers, and routed the officers and soldiers from the weakest point. ”

The Tang horse cavalry are all old thieves who have followed the horse for many years, and they are the most fierce. Knowing that the situation was desperate at this time, the Tangma shouted loudly, stopped chasing the deserters, and gathered together. They shouted for slaughter and rode their horses around the left flank of the Chosen Regiment.

The left flank of the officers and men, which was full of artillery, looked the weakest.

Only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the hooves of three thousand military horses shook the earth, and a cloud of smoke and dust was kicked out in the deserted farmland.

Ma Shouying's face was full of hideousness, and he shouted loudly in the middle of the ranks, boosting morale, and vowing to crush this officer army.

The horses rushed to the left flank of the Xuanfeng regiment, at a distance of 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, and 100 meters, and they were about to rush to the front of the artillery.

Twenty guns on the left flank of the Elector Regiment, fired!

Ma Shouying had never seen a cannon shotgun before.

Twenty cannons opened fire one after another, spitting out a thick mist of flames, spraying 2,000 rounds of finely fragmented shotguns at the rogue Tangma more than 100 meters away.

The charging pond horses are too densely distributed, and they are the best targets for shotguns. In the continuous sound of cannons, the pond horses fell one after another, like waves of wheat blown down by the wind. The first part of the bandit team immediately turned into an Asura hell.

Dense shotguns struck the horses in the chest, the heads of the horses, the horsemen on the horses, and the flesh and blood. Shotguns are faster and more destructive than Minnie rounds. Muscles were torn apart, bones were broken, and blood gushed out like a spring.

One by one, about 300 Tangma were shot by artillery. The blood of the cavalrymen who were shot flew profusely. Whether they were killed, thrown to death, or crushed to death by a horse that was suddenly pressed down, these three hundred ponds of horses immediately lost their combat effectiveness.

There were so many dead and wounded Tang Ma and the thieves struggling on the ground that it turned into a barricade, blocking the route for Tang Ma to continue to charge. The charging formation of the Tang horses was too dense, and immediately dozens of horses could not stop the car and tripped over the horses in front of them, the horses lost their front hooves, and the people fell to the ground on their backs, causing dozens of cavalry to lose their combat effectiveness.

The neighing of horses and the screams of wounded soldiers merged, sounding like the stirring of running water.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ma Shouying's face turned pale.

Defeated.

He had only more than 2,600 horses left, and the route of the charge was blocked by horse corpses and wounded soldiers, and the plan to crush the officers and men in one fell swoop was already a fantasy. The enemy on the small mound, on the other hand, was unscathed and was preparing to shoot at his side, and he had no chance of winning.

"Shoot!"

More than 800 musketeers on the left flank and in the center of the Selector Regiment began to fire at the Tangma in three sections.

At a distance of 100 meters, the Selector Regiment shot at the pond horses that stopped in front of the horse's corpse as if they were shooting at a stationary target, and almost every 100 shots were missed. Two hundred and seventy bullets slashed through the cavalryman's body.

Screams rang out one after another, and more than 200 cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

After only one round of shooting, Ma Shouying's Tangma collapsed.

The rout of the old thief's foot soldiers had already affected the morale of Tangma, and the strong firepower of the officers and troops made them even more suspicious, and the morale of the cavalry was not high. At this time, the horses were heavily hit by shotguns, and were fired by musketeers, and in total, more than 500 cavalrymen were killed and wounded. The discipline of the horses has collapsed, and they all turn around and want to flee.

Ma Shouying was defeated, completely defeated.

Ma Shouying glanced at the small mound, he wanted to see who the leader of this official army was, and he had trained such a terrible army of soldiers and horses.

What he saw was Li Zhi's young figure. Nineteen-year-old Li Zhi is like a teenager.

Ma Shouying felt that his world had collapsed at this moment, he had been fighting in the north and south for seven years, and he had experienced many battles with the officers and soldiers, and today he was defeated at the hands of a young officer, and he had no return. The hungry soldiers fled, the old thieves were routed, and the horses were crippled. How long will it take for me to regain my strength?

But now is not the time to think about it, it's time to think about whether it will survive.

He turned his horse's head and ran on the way, hoping to pick his life.

He fled too late and was left behind by the fast cavalry around him. As soon as he turned the horse's head, the selection group began another volley, and a bullet came steadily, shooting from Ma Shouying's left back into Ma Shouying's body, spinning and tearing his heart.

Ma Shouying screamed miserably, fell to the ground like a sandbag, and couldn't get up again.

Li Zhi stood on the small mound and saw that a big general surrounded by thieves and horsemen was killed with a rifle, and slapped his thigh excitedly-maybe it would be Lao Huihui who was killed, and he would make a lot of money.

Li Zhi won a great victory on the flank, but the battle situation of the officers and troops on the frontal battlefield was obscure.

Lu Xiangsheng and several general soldiers and deputy generals stood on a raised mound to observe the battlefield fighting not far away, frowning and silent.

All along, the officers and soldiers believed that their fighting power was stronger than that of the thieves. A few years ago, Lu Xiangsheng was even able to lead thousands of officials and soldiers to chase and kill tens of thousands of thieves, killing the thieves with their heads on their heads. But this year, that has been reversed. The thieves not only dared to confront the official army head-on, but also insisted on fighting to defeat the official army.

A few months ago, Liu Honglie, the deputy general of the thieves, was captured by the thieves. Not long after, the deputy generals Ai Wannian and Liu Guozhen were killed in the battle. Next, the ace of the official army who won all battles, the chief soldier Cao Wenzhao was ambushed and killed by the thieves in Hutou Town, and since then the momentum of the thief army has risen greatly, and he is no longer afraid of the official army.

In this Ruzhou War, the officers and generals still had the idea of despising the thief soldiers, but the actual situation on the battlefield made Lu Xiangsheng and others understand: The thief soldiers have considerable combat effectiveness.

On the battlefield, 25,000 officers and troops fought against Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's 37,000 cavalry. Originally, Lu Xiangsheng and others were ready to defeat the thieves within an hour, but now it seems that if they continue to fight like this, it is the official army that will be defeated.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, holding the big knife on his waist and was silent. If this continues, it is obvious that it will be defeated. And Lu Xiangsheng can be put into the battlefield again, only the deputy general of Shanhaiguan Li Chongzhen is a soldier and horse.

Li Chongzhen had other uses: according to the plan, Li Chongzhen wanted to contain the old Hui soldiers and horses after Li Zhi's defeat, so he did not enter the stalemate battlefield, but guarded the army on the right flank. Lu Xiangsheng had the intention to put Li Chongzhen's 3,000 soldiers and horses into the battlefield, but he was worried that after Tian's soldiers and horses were defeated by Lao Huihui, no one would contain Lao Hui.

If no one restrains Lao Huihui, and Lao Huihui calmly attacks the flank of the official army, then the scene of the official army will be a big rout.
