Chapter 509: Thousand Riders Roll Hiraoka

On the official road in the east of Nanjing, a cavalry was advancing rapidly.

Red flags were waving in the wind, and thousands of horses' hooves thundered.

Yu Feng, who was dressed in iron armor, rode late in the queue, with a resolute expression on his knife-like face.

Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, he was ordered to lead the cavalry battalion as the vanguard to rescue Nanjing, and Chen Yue, Marquis of Pingnan, led a large group of men and horses to follow.

In the battle of Yangzhou, a flood enveloped 100,000 Qing troops in the belly of the fish, and the Pingnan army won a hearty victory. However, Yu Feng was not very happy.

Because the cavalry battalion he led did not play much at all.

That is, he destroyed a green battalion of soldiers who were collecting food, and then introduced 3,000 Mongolian cavalry into the encirclement, and then the battle had nothing to do with him.

The victory of the war did not benefit the cavalry battalions, and tens of thousands of Manchu horses were swept away by the flood and turned into corpses and flowed into the Yangtze River. This made Yu Feng feel extremely regretful.

If you can capture these war horses of the Qing soldiers, you can form a cavalry of tens of thousands of people! Of course, whether there was a sufficient number of warriors who could ride was not in Yu Feng's consideration.

It was precisely because of the regret and unwillingness in his heart that Yu Feng was determined to never miss the battle in Nanjing again, and he wanted to lead his cavalry battalion to become the decisive force in deciding the war, and to capture enough war horses to expand his subordinates.

After only resting for one night, a distance of more than 100 miles, he rushed to the city of Nanjing in the afternoon of the next day.

Then Yu Feng saw a chaotic battlefield.

The Qing army seemed to have been defeated, the Ming army was chasing behind in a chaotic manner, and all the armies were not organized.

Although Zheng Sen is very strategic, the army under his command has only been under his command for a few days, and it is already remarkable that he can hold on to the green battalion and remain undefeated. As for discipline, it is no different from other Ming troops.

The green battalion soldiers fled, and Zheng Jiajun suddenly became excited, screamed and launched a pursuit, beating the water dogs, and the entire queue also dispersed.

The enemy has been defeated, and it is a good time to fight for merit and loot, and even Zheng Sen cannot restrain them at this time. The mountains were full of excited Zheng family soldiers, chasing the fleeing green battalion soldiers.

When Yu Feng's cavalry battalion arrived at the battlefield, it saw such a scene.

"What are we going to do?" Adjutant General Ma Chuang asked in amazement.

"What else can I do? See where the Manchu Tartar cavalry were? Defeat them and capture the horses! What Yu Feng never forgot was the war horse, that is, to expand the cavalry team.

"Okay!" After receiving Yu Feng's instructions, Ma Chuang shouted excitedly and led his cavalry towards the battlefield.

A cavalry suddenly appeared on the periphery of the battlefield, which made Zheng Sen shocked, and when he saw the cavalry waving the battle flag of the Ming army and the words of the Pingnan Army on the banner, he was relieved.

Fortunately, he took the lead in attacking the Qing army, otherwise the great achievement of defeating the Qing army would have nothing to do with him, Zheng Sen secretly rejoiced.

"This cavalry of the Pingnan Army is too shameless!" Chen Hui, the guard on the side, suddenly shouted angrily.

Zheng Sen looked intently, and saw that the cavalry of the Pingnan Army was divided into two roads, like two sharp blades, and plunged into the battlefield like two sharp blades, plowing and sweeping holes where they passed, breaking through all obstacles on the road.

Not only the Green Battalion was routed, but even the Zheng Jiajun who was pursuing was also knocked out and howled.

Zheng Sen's face turned blue all of a sudden, grabbing merit, this is a naked merit! The Qing army has been defeated, why do you need to intervene in the Pingnan army again?

"Let's go, come with me!" Zheng Sen snorted and took Chen Hui and other personal guards to the battlefield.

The battle has been fought like this, there is no longer any need for him to command, and it is useless to stay in the Chinese army.

At the wharf by the Yangtze River, countless green battalion soldiers were crying and shouting for the battle boat.

Bolo had already boarded the warship, but there were more than 4,000 war horses in the Eight Banners, and it was impossible to transport so many war horses to the other side at one time.

On the Yangtze River, Li Benshen and Gao entered the warehouse, and the two of them were still fighting with Zheng Hongkui with their fleets, and Bolo sent dozens of warships to support them, which was able to withstand the attack of the Zheng family's naval army.

However, there are only more than 100 ships left, and it is completely possible to transport more than 4,000 Eight Banner soldiers at a time, but it is all possible to transport the same number of war horses away. A war horse takes up more space than three soldiers.

In desperation, Bolo could only choose to transport men and horses to the other side first, and the two thousand eight banners and the same number of war horses were led by Turai to the other side first.

Then the ships came back and continued to deliver the remaining half.

However, the premise of all safe retreat was that Ma Degong and Tian Xiong should be able to lead the green battalion soldiers to block the attack of the Ming army. For this reason, Bolo withheld the personal soldiers sent by Ma Degong to ask for reinforcements.

20,000 green battalions against 10,000 Dominic troops, two to one troops in Bolo's opinion, no problem at all. However, he missed the morale of the Green Battalion. In the past, the reason why the Green Battalion soldiers were able to show their strong combat power against the Ming Army was because they had the Eight Banners behind them to rely on, and they knew that even if they were defeated, as long as the Eight Banners soldiers came over, they would definitely be able to win.

But now, the Eight Banners themselves fled first, the Green Battalion soldiers are not fools, and Ma Degong's generation does not have so much loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Ma Degong Tianxiong and other main generals took the lead in fleeing, and the entire green battalion was defeated.

The green battalion soldiers who fled to the river were all scrambling to get on the warship, and the queue of the Eight Banners soldiers who were leading their horses and waiting to line up to get on the ship was crowded. The whole river was in chaos, and from time to time soldiers screamed and were squeezed into the river.

Mader Power escaped on horseback first, gaining the opportunity and escaping to the ship as he wished, but he was greeted by Bolo's face sinking like water.

"Mr. Ma, how dare you abandon the army and flee?" Bolo scolded angrily, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

"Lord Belle, it's not that I want to escape, the Ming army is too powerful, I can't stop it at all!"

Ma Degong knelt on the boat, trying his best to defend himself. In my heart, I secretly slandered that it wasn't that you had to run away first, trying to let Lao Tzu block the Ming army for you as cannon fodder.

"Nonsense, the Ming army only has more than 10,000 people, and your troops are twice as large as theirs, how can you not stop it!" Bolo retorted.

Several guards Goshha stood behind Ma Degong, and as long as Bolo gave an order, Ma Degong would be taken down and beheaded for public display. For the generals of the Green Battalion, the masters of the Eight Banners did not treat them as human beings.

"Lord Belle, no," Ma Degong's soul was frightened, his eyes swept wildly, trying to find an excuse for himself to flee back, and suddenly his eyes bulged, and he saw countless Ming cavalry killing towards the river.

"Lord Belle, Lord Belle, the Ming army has reinforcements, and the cavalry of the Pingnan Army of the brigade killed it, and the last general can't stop it before retreating." Ma Degong was ecstatic in his heart, pointing at the Ming cavalry and shouting.

Looking at the cavalry of the Ming army that appeared like a dragon, watching them rush into the Qing soldiers by the river at a very high horse speed, thousands of Qing troops were smashed into pieces, and countless people screamed and fell into the river, including the Eight Banners who were waiting for the boat to cross the river.

This cavalry of the Ming army came too fast, so fast that the Eight Banners had no time to pick up their weapons and turn over their horses. The unprepared Eight Banners, no matter how high their combat effectiveness is, they have no ability to resist in front of the galloping cavalry.

And after the cavalry of the Ming army, countless infantry shouted and killed the river.

"Let's sail." Bolo closed his eyes in pain, at this time he had no intention of pursuing Ma Degong's guilt.
