726 When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed

These burning rafts that rushed down from the upper reaches of the Daqing River were exactly what Li Zixiao asked Sun Xianfeng to prepare.

Sun Xianxian, with more than 300 men, had a morning to cut down hundreds of trees with thick bowls and build more than a dozen large rafts.

Only then did Duoduo see the scene at this time, which was also the first step for Li Zixiao to attack the Qing army on the banks of the Daqing River, destroying the pontoon bridge and separating the 8,000 Qing troops led by Duoduo on both sides of the Daqing River.

"Protect the pontoon, quick!"

At this time, Duoduo roared hysterically and asked the Qing army to protect the pontoon bridge.

But he just stood and shouted without backache, those rafts all came down the Daqing River, how can you let those Qing cavalry stop it.

Soon, the flaming rafts rushed to the three pontoon bridges erected by the Tartars, and then crashed into them fiercely.

Then, the impact of the raft not only knocked the pontoon bridge apart immediately, but also directly hit the dozens of Tartar cavalry who were still on it, and the Tartar cavalry who had not had time to withdraw fell into the river with men and horses.

The water in this section of the Daqing River is not very deep, but it is more than two meters deep, which is enough to drown the Tartar cavalry who fell into the water, including men and horses.

"Help!"

The Tartars who fell into the water directly gave up the war horses that fell into the water, but they themselves were tossing in the water, because they couldn't swim!

For the small number of Tartar cavalry who had fallen into the water and struggled, Duoduo was not very distressed, because at this time, his eyes were completely on the pontoon bridge that had been ignited.

"Damn it!"

Duoduo stood on the north bank of the Daqing River on horseback, looking at the pontoon bridge that was scattered and burning at this time, his face was gloomy and dripping, and his mouth was cursing.

Bang bang bang!

Just as Dodor was angry at the destruction of the pontoon, suddenly a burst of gunfire came from the north, causing him to change color again.

"It's not good, it's really Li Zixiao's men and horses who have been killed."

At this time, Duoduo finally understood, and this time he fell for Li Zixiao's trick again.

After all, Duoduo had also heard the sound of the White Dragon Army's flintlock pistol, and it was obviously different from other Ming military guns.

With Duoduo's hatred for Li Zixiao, he had already collected all the information of the White Dragon Army, and when he heard such a dense sound of fire from the north, he knew that Li Zixiao's cavalry was coming.

"Li Zixiao, this king is going to break your body into ten thousand pieces this time."

Duoduo said with a dark face, gritted his teeth, and then immediately turned his horse's head and shouted loudly to the more than 2,000 Tartar cavalry who were still left on the north bank of the Daqing River: "The whole army will come with this king." ”

At this time, it was two miles north of the Daqing River, on the open ground behind a small hill.

At this time, the cavalry of the White Dragon Army led by Li Zixiao had already rushed together with the two thousand Tartar cavalry sent out by Duoduo just now.

The terrain here was not very open, and the Tartar cavalry only made one round of projectiles, and the cavalry of both sides rushed together.

Then, the cavalry of the White Dragon Army used the short guns in their hands to harvest the Tartar cavalry first.

At this time, the cavalry that followed Li Zixiao was only 2,000 cavalry, and the other 3,000 cavalry were halfway and were sent by him to other places.

The cavalry on both sides was about the same, and in an open field, they began to charge.

"Kill!"

The cavalry on both sides rushed to kill on the open ground, and Li Zixiao also personally participated in the battle this time, and Li Zixiao's riding skills and martial arts over the years have been better than before.

A handsome flag with the gold-trimmed 'Li' character behind Li Zixiao fluttered in the wind, giving the two thousand White Dragon Army cavalry more courage.

Originally, Li Zixiao planned to besiege the Qing army on the north bank of the Daqing River, but he didn't expect the Qing army to detect their arrival in advance.

Duoduo sent such a cavalry to meet Li Zixiao, which directly changed Li Zixiao's original plan.

Now, the raid has turned into an encounter, and Li Zixiao can only lead the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, and he is on the hard side, how can he retreat at this time.

The battle between the two sides in the open field was very fierce, and the two thousand Tartar elite cavalry led by Gu Ye were really strong.

Even if it is the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, the number is not bad, and Li Zixiao personally participated in the battle, which made the morale of the White Dragon Army cavalry high, and they still fought very fiercely!

"Ahh

This time, because this open land is actually not large, and it was originally a farmer's field, the soil is soft, and it is not suitable for cavalry to charge quickly.

In this case, the battle between the cavalry of the White Dragon Army and the Tartar cavalry is no longer the same as in the past, when they hedged again and again on the northern land.

After the cavalry of the two sides had fled, they fought with each other, mounted on horses, and greeted each other with sabers and spears in their hands.

Before the cavalry of the two sides could scuffle, the White Dragon Army was thrown by the Tartar cavalry in one round, killing about twenty or thirty people.

However, the White Dragons fired with short guns at close range, but inflicted greater casualties on the Tartar cavalry, killing more than fifty people.

Dangdang!

Li Zixiao rode on a horse, protected by several guards such as Li Ziwu, and they formed an elite squad and killed many Tartar cavalrymen.

"Quick, kill that Han dog general for me, kill!"

Li Zixiao's side was very fast, and it also aroused the attention of the Tartar general Gu Ye, and he personally led a team of Tartar cavalry to kill him.

Gu Ye could see from the handsome banner behind Li Zixiao and the fine armor on Li Zixiao's body that he was the commander of the cavalry of the White Dragon Army.

It's just that the Tartar cavalry led by Gu Ye wanted to rush to Li Zixiao, it was so easy.

The cavalry of the White Dragon Army found around immediately blocked the past, blocking Gu Ye from approaching Li Zixiao's side.

"Sir, stand back, don't rush, just leave the battle to the soldiers."

Li Ziwu was behind Li Zixiao, with a bitter face, and persuaded bitterly.

Although Li Zixiao's personal participation in the battle did boost the morale of the White Dragon Army's cavalry, it also exposed him to great danger.

Li Ziwu, the guards who were responsible for Li Zixiao's security work, were extremely disapproving of Li Zixiao and did so.

"Okay, let's stand back."

Fortunately, after Li Zixiao passed the addiction of rushing and killing and successfully boosted morale, he calmed down in his heart, listened to Li Ziwu's words, and looked for a retreat to the back to supervise the battle.

Just like Li Ziwu said, Li Zixiao went up to kill a few more Tartar cavalry, which didn't play much role in the duel with the Tartar cavalry.

But if Li Zixiao had any accidents, it would be enough for the White Dragon Army cavalry to lose the battle.

After Li Zixiao was excited, he also figured this out in time and put himself in the right position.

"Brother in the back, Iron Shell Ray prepares! Throw! ”

With Li Zixiao calling the shots in the back.

Some of the White Dragon Army cavalry in the back immediately took out a small iron-hulled mine about the size of an adult's fist from the bag of their saddle.

Light the fuse and throw it around the opposing Tartar cavalry.

The iron-shelled mines in the White Dragon Army now have four main specifications, small, medium, large and giant, mainly according to the amount of gunpowder filled in them, these four specifications are divided.

Among them, this kind of small iron-hulled mine is specially equipped for the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, while medium and large iron-hulled mines are generally equipped for the foot soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

As for the giant iron-hulled mines, because they are too large and heavy, they are generally only equipped for the use of the defending troops.

"Whoosh!"

Boom Boom!

With dozens of small iron-hulled mines behind, they were thrown around the group of Tartar cavalry dozens of paces away in the distance, and then exploded.

Ril, lil!

The Tartar horses that were frightened by the explosion of the iron-shelled thunder were irritable one by one, and some began to stumble, making the Tartar cavalry riding on them unstable, and a few were directly thrown off their horses.

And at this time, the cavalry officers of the White Dragon Army, who were still fighting with the Tartar cavalry in front, of course would not let go of such an opportunity.

"Kill!"

One of the White Dragons roared, taking advantage of the fact that a Tartar cavalry horse opposite him was frightened, raised his front hooves, and threw a Tartar off his horse.

The spear in his hand was decisively pierced out of the white dragon cavalry, directly piercing the chest of the Tartar cavalryman who fell from his horse, killing him.

The explosion of those small iron-clad mines created fighters for the White Dragon Army's side.

Of course, it is basically unrealistic to count on these small iron-hulled mines to blow up the surrounding Tatar cavalry at once.

In fact, the power of these small iron ore mines is a bit weak, and if they explode within two meters, they can hurt Tartars or war horses.

"Cast again!"

Li Zixiao saw that the shooting method of throwing iron-shelled thunder had an effect, his face was happy, and he continued to order.

Thundered!

Bursts of explosions rang out again, creating an opportunity for the White Dragoon cavalry to kill the enemy while causing a disturbance for the Tartar cavalry.

"Archer, shoot!"

However, soon Gu Ye's side also counterattacked.

Gu Ye also let the cavalry in the back, who did not participate in the front fight, shoot arrows at the back of the White Dragon Army cavalry.

These Tartar cavalry carried out projectile fire, not direct fire.

After all, the Tartar cavalry at the front was mixed with the White Dragon Army cavalry, and if they fired directly, most of them would have shot their own people in the back.

And when they throw them, the arrows they shoot will pass over the cavalry of the two sides fighting together in front, killing and injuring the cavalry of the White Dragon Army who are throwing iron-clad thunder behind.

The two thousand White Dragon Army cavalry led by Li Zixiao finally arrived after fighting with the two thousand Tartar cavalry of Guye for nearly a stick of incense.

"Li Zixiao! Sure enough, it's you! ”

When Duoduo led the army to arrive, far away, Duoduo saw Li Zixiao's position, which was really his gold-edged 'Li' handsome flag, which was too much of Duoduo's hatred.

Duoduo hated Li Zixiao to death in his heart, and at this time, Li Zixiao appeared in front of him, which made him excited.

In particular, when he saw that the number of White Dragon Army cavalry in front of Li Zixiao was not very large at all, Duoduo was even more excited.

At this moment, Duoduo had a cruel smile on his face, his eyes looked directly at Li Zixiao, and he whispered to himself: "Li Zixiao, Li Zixiao, since you have come to die yourself, this king will fulfill you."

But don't worry, this king won't let you die easily, this king will capture you alive, and then slowly torture you to death, so as to wash away the shame you brought to this king. ”

"The whole army listens to the order, whoever cuts off the banner of the word 'Li' for this king, this king will reward 100 taels of gold, 50 slaves, 1st rank of official reputation, and a yellow coat.

If anyone can give this king, catch the handsome hat alive, the Han general wearing golden armor, this king will reward 1,000 taels of gold, 100 slaves, an official promotion to the third level, and a yellow coat. ”

Duoduo did not rush to let the two thousand Tartar cavalry he brought also join the battlefield, but first pointed to the Tartar cavalry behind him, pointed in the direction where Li Zixiao was, and shouted.

This time, the reward offered by Duoduo was too rich.

However, if he could really let his Tartar cavalry do these two things, the reward paid by Duoduo would be nothing at all.

"Whoa!"

However, after Duoduo's order was given at this time, the two thousand Tartar cavalry behind him were all excited, screaming, and wishing that they could immediately rush over and capture Li Zixiao alive.

"Rush!"

A moment later, with a wave of his hand, more than 2,000 Tartar cavalry behind him rushed out like wild horses.

Because of the open field of the field, there was a deep ravine to the north, and the hill to the south, and the strange rocks were not suitable for cavalry to circumambulate.

Such terrain made it impossible for the Tartar cavalry rushing from behind to go around from both sides and attack Li Zixiao's position behind.

They could only kill the two thousand cavalry of the White Dragon Army from the front before they had a chance to contact Li Zixiao.

At this moment, Li Zixiao realized that the terrain here is really not suitable for cavalry battles, and there are more cavalry in this terrain, and the advantage is not too great.

This is not the battlefield that Li Zixiao expected, but now in Li Zixiao's opinion, they will not lose in this battle with the Tatar cavalry of Duoduo here.

At the same time, at this time, Li Zixiao also discovered Duoduo, and saw the Tartar inlaid white flag behind Duoduo, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.

The two were far apart, and they looked at each other hostilely.

Then, Li Zixiao picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at Duoduo, but Li Zixiao saw the hateful expression on Duoduo's face more clearly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Duoduo, Duoduo, I'm afraid you're going to leave a shadow again today, but I don't know if Benjue will have a chance to capture you alive again today.

If I could capture you alive again, this battle would be much easier. ”

Li Zixiao muttered in a low voice.

At the same time, at this time, with the entry of two thousand Tartar cavalry, the small advantage that the White Dragon Army cavalry in front originally occupied was completely gone.

Instead, he was pressed and beaten by the Tartar cavalry and fell into a disadvantage.

Looking at this scene, Li Zixiao's face also turned cold, and he was also beating a drum in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Peng Hao, Peng Hao, it's all up to you this time."

Whether we can win this battle depends on whether you can kill from behind the Tartars in time.

Don't let Benjue down! ”

The Qing army set up a pontoon bridge to cross the river, which was originally a ferry, and to the north was a forest and a hill, and there were only two ways for the cavalry on both sides to rush over.

One is a road built by the local government that passes between the hill and the forest.

Passing through the official road between the woods and the hills, the open ground that appeared was the place where the White Dragon Army cavalry and the Tartar cavalry led by Gu Ye rushed together at this time.

And by circumambulating the hill to the east, and a half circumambulation, it was possible to reach the open field, except that it was an overgrown path, but it did not prevent the cavalry from passing through.
