Chapter 147: The Brave Wins When They Meet on a Narrow Road

Zhu Linmi's face, which was extremely pale due to physical exhaustion, suddenly brightened, Jian Yu was dismounting and resting, this was an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack!

He immediately ordered the whole army to line up and prepare for the attack.

Li Chengdong's intruders have survived the encirclement and suppression of the officials and soldiers all year round, and their vigilance is simply higher than that of rabbits, and even when they are resting, there are always more than 20 people patrolling around the periphery.

In fact, before the alarm sounded, Li Chengdong had already felt a faint tremor on the ground and stood up. At this time, he heard the sound of the trumpet, and immediately threw away the dry food in his hand, turned over and got on the horse, and shouted loudly to his subordinates to form a formation.

I don't know if it was Durde or Nushan. He wondered why he had made his soldiers gallop as hard as they could, but they still caught up with them.

How did he know that all the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army had to run ten miles of cross-country on a regular basis, and the hussars were naturally no exception. Coupled with the excellent food supply, the physical fitness of every soldier can be proud of the others in this era. In recent days, although they have pursued five or six hundred miles on a rapid march, this is far from the limit of their physical strength.

As for the lancers under Tie Dake's command, they were also the most elite team of the Broken Battalion. Although they were already a little physically exhausted at this time, with the encouragement of King Chen's spirit of leading by example, they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

It was such a cavalry team that stubbornly caught up with the remnants of Li Chengdong, who claimed to be "the most capable of running". That's the miracle of rigorous training and high morale!

Soon, a scout arrived and reported to Li Chengdong, saying that a sentry cavalry was found in the rear, about 500 people, and it should be a Ming army.

Li Chengdong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as it wasn't Durde, a small group of Ming troops was not enough for him to take it seriously.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but he saw a neat queue that appeared nearly two miles away, the tufts on the helmets of the soldiers were arranged in a straight red line, and although the military uniforms on his body were strangely styled, they looked very imposing, and when they were gathered in a group, they looked even more imposing.

It was the same as the Ming army clothes that followed him yesterday, and the feeling of uneasiness resurfaced in Li Chengdong's heart again.

He shook his head vigorously, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, cheer me up, and when you repel this Ming army, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each!" ”

Zhen Zhen pointed to the cavalry in the distance and said to Zhu Linmiao: "Your Highness, the construction of the captives has also been completed." ”

Zhu Linwei frowned and nodded, Li Chengdong's reaction was indeed fast enough.

In history, this guy was able to fight with the Manchus from Nanjing to Guangxi and kill two Nanming emperors, and it was really not just luck.

Since you can't raid, let's face it head-on! There is no trick to be used, so you can crush the enemy with a hard encounter! He turned his head and ordered Tie Dake: "Tie Dake, divide your division into two teams, and encircle the army from the left and right flanks!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Tie Dake held his fists to receive the order, and then beckoned his lancers to line up on both sides of the Chinese army.

"Your Highness, the number of thieves is not less than ours." Zhen Zhen hurriedly said when he heard this, "When you concentrate all your strength to compete with it, why do you have to divide your troops?" ”

Zhu Linwei shook his head, "It's not enough to just defeat the thieves, we must annihilate them all here!" ”

Zhen Zhen nodded contemplatively, and said: "The Iron Leopard's men and horses are the best at breaking the enemy head-on, so they can let him ...... in the middle lane."

"Tie Qian's headquarters doesn't have much physical strength left, so let's let the Dragon Guard attack the front."

Zhu Linmiao stopped talking, pulled out the reed wheel pistol and pointed forward, and ordered loudly: "Forward!" ”

"Forward!" Hundreds of dragon guards immediately chanted in unison with him.

On the other side, Li Chengdong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the Ming army had divided two teams of 100 people to attack the two wings.

Originally, he was very confident in fighting with the Ming army, but now there are less than 300 people in the middle of the Ming army, and he has pressed all the more than 440 cavalry on the front.

In this way, as long as he breaks through the front of the Ming army, then when his main force turns back, the detachments on both wings of the Ming army will become fish on the chopping block.

"Look for death!" He sneered and slowly drew his saber, clamped the horse's belly, and shouted, "Follow me!" ”

Two cavalry of hundreds of men charged across like two stout bison, billowing dust behind them, slowly but inexorably approaching each other, waiting for the moment of collision.

The speed of both sides is gradually increasing from slow. Even the best military horses can only maintain a full speed sprint of fifty or sixty paces, and the cavalry approaches in small steps when attacking, leaving the maximum speed until the final stage of facing the enemy.

About seventy steps away from the enemy, Zhao Shichao shouted an order: "Move forward quickly!" ”

The speed of the Dragoon's cavalry suddenly increased a little.

At this point, the training gap between the two sides was reflected. Li Chengdong's formation had begun to change into a wavy line, while the line of the Dragon Guards was slightly slanted, but it was obviously still a straight line.

It wasn't until he was sixty paces away that Li Chengdong took the lead in pulling out the clear bow in his handβ€”this was the most advanced weapon his master had given him after he surrendered.

This kind of bow is long and reversed curved, there is a string pad at the root of the bow tip, and the bow body is made of horns, wood, cow tendons, etc., the process is complex, it belongs to the composite recurve bow, the size is small but the pulling force is great, it can be said to be the pinnacle of cold weapons.

However, even if Durd's authentic Jianzhou cavalry did not shoot the bow as fast as the reed wheel, not to mention Li Chengdong's subordinates.

At the same time, the dragon guards on the opposite side also raised their reed wheel short guns in their hands.

As soon as the men and horses on Li Chengdong's side put the arrow on the string and had no time to pull it away, they heard a loud explosion in front of them, and nearly 30 Qing soldiers fell head-on.

There was almost no interval, and another volley of fire was immediately followed by the Ming army's side. This time the distance was closer, and more than 50 captives were shot!

Damn*, this evil fire bolt is so fast?! Li Chengdong was almost stunned, if it wasn't for one of his henchmen who blocked a lead bullet in front of him just now, he would have died here. It was he who carefully leaned over the saddle, watching out for the next salvo.

However, he didn't know that the dragon guard hussars only had two reed wheels each, and it was extremely troublesome to reload after these two shots were fired.

Only at this time, Li Chengdong's side barely released a row of arrows, but under the influence of the two volleys of the Dragon Guard, there was no accuracy at all.

Since both sides were planning to fight each other, they approached each other at an extremely fast speed, and there was no time to shoot again.

"Charge!"

"Kill me!"

An earth-shattering roar erupted from the cavalry phalanxes of both sides at the same time, and each drew his saber and cavalry sword.

The two "bison" are getting closer and closer, two feet, one feet, three feet, one foot!

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Although Li Chengdong's subordinates are all blood-lickers who have been licking blood with knives for many years, they instinctively choose to dodge in the face of the sharp blades that arrive in front of them at high speed, and the saber in their hands inevitably deviates.

However, with strict training, the movements of hundreds of cavalry are exactly the same, neatly like a person, which is the most simple and effective move to "raise the sword and stab the chest".

But everyone is focused on aiming at their enemies, and the movements that have been trained thousands of times are unparalleled with precision! ”
