Chapter 340: Abandoning Yuezhou

Another row of Eight Banner cavalry collided with the spear, the war horse let out a mournful neighing sound, the front hooves were weak, and they fell to the ground one after another, and the Eight Banners on horseback rose into the air, soaring in the air, and then were picked up in the air by a long string of hook and sickle spears. After the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info war horse collided with the spear array, the momentum did not decrease, and continued to ram up, knocking away many native soldiers.

The fourth row of cavalry collided again, the hook and sickle was broken, dozens of native soldiers flew out upside down, and the Eight Banners who crashed into the gun formation were also hung on the head of the hook and sickle.

The ground was drenched in blood, broken guns, the corpses of war horses, the corpses of people, all over the ground.

"Hit again! It's almost over! Seeing that the spear formation of the wolf soldiers had become very thin, one of the Eight Banners soldier leader shouted anxiously.

"Kill! Rush up again and you'll be broken! The Eight Banners shouted excitedly, waved their horses and spurred their horses to gallop, slamming into the already thin pikemen formation.

The natives with their hooked scythes suddenly turned their heads, slung their scythes on their shoulders, and trotted back ten paces.

Seeing the native soldiers retreating, the Eight Banners of the Qing Army thought that the native soldiers could not stop it. Each of the Eight Banners soldiers brandished their sabers and shouted excitedly, and the opponent aimed his back at himself at this time, doesn't that mean that the formation can no longer bear it? Isn't he about to be slashed by cavalry after him?

Before the Eight Banners were about to catch up with the retreating native soldiers carrying hooked and sickle spears, they saw that those native soldiers turned their heads one after another.

"Beware of deception!" Someone shouted.

At this time, the Eight Banners realized that there might be a problem. I've heard of a kind of wire stumbling wire that is so powerful that no matter how many horses hit it, it will hang on it. Now seeing that these native soldiers gave up their formation, they first turned their heads and retreated, and then suddenly turned back to face themselves, and there was no thick anti-horse gun formation, only a thin layer of spears. Since the other party can use such a strange tactic, there must be something wrong with this!

However, the speed of the war horse has been raised to the maximum, and it is impossible to slow down at all.

The Eight Banners at the front were like they had hit something, and the horses stumbled one after another, neighing sadly, and the knights on horseback let out a miserable scream, and the people on the spot turned over on their backs. The war horse behind continued to collide, and the man turned on his back again, as if there was a monster on the ground that specialized in devouring people and horses.

The weeds, which were more than three feet high, were trampled by the horses' hooves, and bundles of bent wires were exposed underneath, and the wires were covered with thorns.

Barbed wire is the most effective defensive weapon against cavalry. In the past, defensive weapons, whether they were tripping horses or trapping pits, could only resist once, and the opponent only needed to sacrifice a few cavalrymen to break the tripping ropes and cross the traps. But this barbed wire fence is different, and no matter how many cavalrymen go up, they will die! The only way to do this is to pile up corpses.

The speed of the Eight Banners cavalry behind slowed down significantly, and the mysterious wire stumbling rope in front made the Eight Banners soldiers dare not hit it hard.

The Eight Banners didn't know that it was barbed wire, and thought it was a new type of tripwire. In the past, the soldiers of the Eight Banners had encountered barbed wire, and they knew how powerful this kind of thing was, so they casually threw a few bundles of iron wire on the ground, and thousands of troops and horses could not rush through.

The speed of the Eight Banners slowed down, but they saw that the hook and sickle spear kept stabbing out, and the Eight Banners soldiers in front of them were hooked by the hook and sickle one after another. The wolf soldiers pulled hard, and on average, each cavalryman was hooked by at least five or six hooked sickles and pulled off their horses. Then there was another cluster of thorns, and the Eight Banners who landed were stabbed into a hornet's nest.

"Kill!" Squatting on the ground, the wolf soldiers with wooden cards and axes jumped from behind the barbed wire, jumping and jumping towards the Eight Banners Cavalry, whose speed had slowed down.

The Eight Banners cavalry was blocked by barbed wire and lost their speed, and when they encountered these fierce wolf soldiers, it was a dish.

The wolf soldier strikes with a shield and chops with an axe. The heavy axe chopped off the head, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry wearing two or even three layers of armor could not stop the axe, and when the axe came over, the cotton armor broke, and even the iron armor inside was split and rolled up, and the axe was split into the flesh, and the Eight Banners were cut off from their horses one after another.

The wolf soldiers are worthy of being the strongest troops in the cold weapon class, and after being equipped with barbed wire, the Eight Banners are not opponents at all. Now it is raining heavily, the firearms of the Ming army cannot be used, and the cavalry of the Qing army is only left with horses, and the archery is gone.

Seeing that the horses could not break through, the Eight Banners turned their horses, withdrew a hundred paces away, restrained their horses, turned their horses, and prepared to dismount and charge on foot.

"Woo-" There was a sound of gold from behind the Qing army.

The Eight Banners turned their horses' heads again, whistled, and galloped away.

Originally, Aobai was a hammer deal, and saw that the Eight Banners had lost more than 600 people, and saw that the Ming army had a neat lineup, high morale, and extremely strong combat effectiveness, and could not see that the Qing army had a little hope of winning, so Aobai decisively ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

"Xiangye, why do you want to collect troops? Our army is numerous, and the thieves have been fighting fiercely all night, and they are already exhausted, if our army continues to work hard, the thieves can be broken! Zhangtai asked puzzled.

"Zhangtai Belle, you don't know how to read the formation! Although our army is numerous, it is a rabble! If we continue to fight, our army will not be able to win even if it runs out of blood! The old man didn't agree with this battle in the first place, and we weren't ready for a decisive battle in Yuezhou at all! It's just that it's raining heavily, thinking it's a God-given opportunity, but who knows that it still can't be beaten! Rather than consuming it here, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, preserve your strength as much as possible, and fight a decisive battle in Wuchang! Ao Bai sighed helplessly.

Yue Le said: "Baylor, let's go!" If you continue to fight, you will suffer even more losses! ”

The Qing army began to retreat, and the Eight Banners cavalry ran first. The most elite Huguang Green Battalion followed closely and was taken out by Zhao Liangdong. Yuezhou Green Battalion Qing Army also followed, although the ordinary Green Battalion soldiers are infantry, but their escape kung fu is not bad, originally the Green Battalion Qing Army was originally adapted from the surrender of the Ming Army, repeatedly defeated, the escape of the kung fu is not lost to that year. And those Hunan brave, Minzhuang and auxiliary soldiers are tragic.

The cavalry of Bai Wenxuan and Wang [Fu] Chen had already mounted their horses and pursued after Xiang Yong, Minzhuang and the auxiliary soldiers. The dragoons, who originally used firearms, were also used as light cavalry, and the dragoons were originally equipped with sabers to chase down the defeated enemy, and it can be said that they were easily captured.

Although the Hunan warriors fought bravely, it was when they were advancing. This kind of army composed of fraternal clansmen, seeing their relatives and friends killed, will inspire hatred, and make Xiang brave and brave. But once they were defeated, the situation of Xiangyong's rout was even worse than that of the auxiliaries, because when they saw their friends running, their brothers running, and their relatives running for their lives, they would all follow for their lives.

The cavalry of the Ming army pursued closely, killing the corpses of the Qing army all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. (To be continued.) )
