As soon as Zhuo Butai's cavalry barely gathered, the six hundred heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guard Army had already killed more than a hundred paces away.

Brother Zhu waved the steel sword in his hand and calmly commanded: "Move forward quickly!" ”

The heavy cavalry in a neat line immediately repeated in a loud voice, "Hurry forward!" Then all the horses began to trot at an accelerated pace, and the sound of the horses' hooves was like a dense drum beat, and the ground trembled.

Zhuo Butai knew that cavalry battles could not be hidden, and whoever exposed his flanks to his opponent would surely die.

The Eight Banners rode everyone with armor, and the power of the Qing bow was huge, and the riding was very strong, and it was because since the surrender of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, they were rampant in China and rarely met opponents.

Zhuo Butai still had more than 3,000 cavalry under his command, and he believed that although his formation was not in order, it was more than enough to deal with hundreds of southerner cavalry.

He immediately raised his lacquered bow, turned his head and shouted: "Follow me to meet the enemy!" Then he roared and led his team to meet the Ming army.

The two groups of cavalry were still thirty or forty paces apart, and the captives opened their bows and arrows one after another, and suddenly the arrows rained down on the heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guard.

But with a clanging sound, most of the feathered arrows slid off to the sides the moment they touched the plate armor, and even the heaviest armor-piercing arrows were powerless in the face of the heavy steel armor up to three millimeters thick.

There are a few arrows that penetrate the plate armor because of the correct angle, but they can only penetrate about an inch, and it is difficult to cause fatal damage.

After a rain of arrows, the heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guard was not affected much, and the captive cavalry had no chance to release the arrows again.

As the Zhu family brother gave the order to "charge", the heavy cavalry immediately increased the speed of their horses to the fastest.

And Zhuo Butai's men and horses had just started, and the speed had not yet run, although they wanted to stagger past the Ming army, it was too late.

I saw that the heavy cavalry all pointed their steel swords straight forward, and more than 600 horsemen rushed into the Qing cavalry group like a wild beast.

The captives hurriedly changed their sabers and slashed at the roaring heavy cavalry. But they obviously underestimated the shiny "iron shell" on these Ming troops, and under the hurried blow, the blade was mostly cut aside by the heavy steel armor, where could they cut into the slightest.

On the other hand, the cavalry sword used by the Dragon Guard was very suitable for stabbing, and it was even more powerful under the acceleration of galloping horses.

Suddenly, hundreds of cavalry swords set off a bloody storm in the enemy formation, and the broken limbs flew everywhere, and even the lower half of the captives were still sitting on the saddle, but the upper body had been cut off by sharp blades, and the blood pillars shot straight into the air like a fountain.

In just a moment, the Zhu family had already led the army to kill the captives, and thousands of Qing army horsemen were separated by a river of blood full of corpses.

In addition, when Jianyu attacked the hollow phalanx of the Dragon Guard, dozens of junior officers were sniped by the chasseurs, and no one came forward to restrain the soldiers at this time, and the already untidy formation was even more chaotic.

How could Zhuo Butai have thought that these hundreds of southerner cavalry would be so fierce, and they would kill thousands of his horsemen in one look, even the Guanning iron cavalry back then was not so terrible.

Cavalry battles must be gathered into a team, unified pace in order to exert combat power, at this time his thousands of cavalry was divided into two pieces, men and horses running around, where can you still fight.

Zhuo Butai had no time to take care of the task of attacking the Ming gunners, and the 3,500 horsemen he brought were only about 2,000 at the moment, and it would be a blessing from God to bring these people back alive.

He saw that the southerner cavalry was making a U-turn not far away, and he hurriedly shouted to his officers to gather the team, and asked his own soldiers to pass the order such as Batel to lead the cavalry palace, so he was ready to take advantage of this gap to slip away.

However, before he could give the order, he heard a dense roar of artillery coming from the east side. In an instant, more than a dozen shells smashed into the crowd of the Qing army like hammers with a sharp wind, and large pieces of broken flesh flew around, and more than 100 captives were killed at that moment.

At the same time, not far away, two phalanxes of Ming spears had bypassed the men and horses of Rubatel, and the sharp spear tips were shining with cold light towards Zhuo Butai's side.

At this time, who can still take care of Zhuo Butai's military orders, they all screamed and fled like lost dogs.

Zhuo Butai was shocked, Fang Cainanren only had three light cannons, how could he have such a momentum? He looked at the hollow phalanx of the Ming army from afar, but saw more than 20 cannons neatly arranged in the array, and the Ming gunners were loading ammunition quickly.

Zhuo Butai's eyes were really like ghosts, didn't these cannons bombard the Turai department before, how did they come here in a moment?

Xia Fu wiped the blood on his face first, grabbed Chen Xiongfei's collar, and said angrily: "Why did you come?!" ”

"The frontal battle has just ended," Chen Xiongfei broke away from his hand, "I'll rush over immediately!" He looked at the soldiers who had died defending the hollow phalanx, and shouted at the gunners beside him: "me, slam these dog tartars for me!" ”

"Yes!"

The artillerymen immediately responded with a salvo, and with a thunderous roar, more than twenty iron balls with vengeful anger left a ground of broken corpses in the group of prisoners.

"General, let's go!"

Zhuo Butai was awakened by the shouts of his own soldiers, and saw the half-dead corpse that had fallen beside him, and from its armor, it was an elite horseman.

His heart twitched, and he looked around, and there were those steel-armored cavalry to the north, and the southerners phalanx to the east. In desperation, he had to flee westward with more than a dozen of his own soldiers, praying that the Ming army had been solved on the Turai side.

After running out of a section, he didn't see anyone chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the cannon that suddenly appeared in the southerners, he was very indignant in his heart, if he also had a cannon that moved so quickly, he must have broken through the southerners' phalanx, how could there be such a defeat?

More than eighty percent of the horses of the blue flag were destroyed here, and some of the horses of the yellow flag were all destroyed, these are the elite of the Qing Dynasty! Zhuo Butai felt bitter in his heart, losing these horses, the vitality of the Blue Banner was greatly damaged, and it would be difficult to recover in a few years.

When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw several large arrays of spears in front of him, which were steadily chasing behind the Qing army, stopping from time to time to make a firearm, and the Qing army scattered and fled, showing that it had collapsed.

Could it be that the main forces of the Turai have been defeated? He suddenly felt cold all over, and the phalanx of spears and firebolts in front of him suddenly led to a word in his memory—the battle of the Hunhe River.

That year, tens of thousands of Jianzhou troops fought with the 7,000 Sichuan and Zhejiang Ming armies in the Hunhe River, and the Ming army also formed a formation with spears and guns. Taizu personally led the army to attack in turn, supplemented by internal response, and paid nearly 10,000 casualties to finally break the Ming army. One of his uncles died in the Hunhe River.

He once thought that after the Qi family army of the Southern Barbarians was wiped out in the Hunhe River, there would be no elite soldiers, but today he saw the reappearance of this gun battle array, but a touch of despair appeared in his heart. The number of southerners is a hundred times that of the Manchurians, if they can continue to train such a strong army, can this Central Plains Huahua World still be surnamed "Qing"?
