Chapter 637: The Battle of the Cavalry (3)

With Tan Tai in charge, the elite of the Eight Banners finally suppressed the momentum of the counteroffensive of the right town of Nanjing again, and once again took the initiative Tan Tai has absolute confidence, and in another half an hour, it is enough to completely defeat the Ming cavalry in front of him, even if this Qin Mufeng is brave, he will definitely not be able to hedge to the absolute superiority of the elite forces of the Eight Banners.

Tan Tai finally showed a smile on his face, this time, he must occupy Dongchang Mansion!

Just when Tan Tai felt that the victory was in his hands, the musketeers of Nanjing Right Town were dispatched!

Five hundred musketeers came rushing forward, slaughtered from the middle of the road, went straight to the right flank of the Eight Banners, and began to shoot fiercely!

Bang bang bang......

One by one, the bullets whistled out of the chamber and went straight to Manchuria!

The Manchurian elite cavalry was besieging the cavalry of the right town of Nanjing, and they didn't expect that there would be musketeers from it at this time, and they thought it was a simple cavalry, five hundred people, which was not enough to turn the tide of the current battle on the battlefield, and only needed a surprise attack to wrap the reinforcements of this cavalry into it and annihilate them together!

Unexpectedly, they were not cavalry at all, but musketeers, at a distance of two hundred paces, they had already begun to shoot one after another, and the dense bullets made the Manchurian elite cavalry soldiers fall off their horses one after another, and after only two waves of shooting, the right wing of the Manchurian elite cavalry could not withstand such a huge blow, and the whole collapsed!

The Manchurian elite cavalry is indeed not afraid of death, and it is indeed brave and good at fighting, but this does not mean that under the overwhelming attack, it can still maintain composure, after all, this is a musketeer, and it can launch a precise strike from a distance of two hundred steps, put people to death, and charge? How to charge? They are also cavalrymen! If you only need to shoot while exercising, won't you be in a situation where you can't fight back? No one wants to die in vain!

Two waves of attacks passed, and then the third wave of shooting came, and once again dozens of elite cavalry turned over and fell off their horses, and the Manchurian elite cavalry retreated one after another, even if Tan Tai roared hard, and even killed two retreating elite cavalry to no avail, a huge fear rose from the hearts of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and no one was willing to launch an attack in the face of muskets!

The collapsed right-wing cavalry rushed to the Chinese army of the Manchurian cavalry, which made the camp of the Chinese army change, the attack was frustrated, and the Qing army's elite cavalry retreated one after another.

Tan Tai's heart was full of bitterness, especially unlucky, just when he was about to enter the final crushing slaughter, the appearance of the musketeers completely disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and the success of the mountain nine blades fell short......

"Order, the army temporarily retreats, and prepares to fight again......"

Tan Tai had to give an order to stop the attack, and if he continued to fight, the Manchurian elite cavalry would suffer a big loss, and we would not be able to commit it, we still have a chance, there are thousands of infantry behind us, the infantry carrying artillery, and when the artillery arrives, a hundred cannons will be fired in unison, and Dongchang Mansion will be razed to the ground!

Tan Tai gave an order, and the Manchurian elite cavalry broke away from the battlefield and retreated ten miles to the rear before stopping.

Qin Mufeng surprisingly did not order the army to pursue and began to clean up the battlefield!

This tragic battle, lasted for an hour, even if it was the right town of Nanjing, it was already exhausted, I have to say, the combat power of the Manchurian elite cavalry is too strong, far stronger than the army of the year, stronger than the Guanning iron cavalry, the elite of the Tianwei army and its battle, I am afraid that it is difficult to gain the upper hand, but it is a pity that the cavalry of their second town, that is the most brave and good at fighting the elite cavalry in the entire Tianwei army, the combat power is unparalleled, if they are there, the Manchurian elite cavalry in front of them is definitely not so arrogant today!

On the whole point, in a big battle, nearly 1,000 casualties were killed and wounded in the right town of Nanjing, and nearly half of the 2,000 cavalry fell directly.

"Master Overseer, more than 800 brothers, more than 400 brothers, more than 400 brothers died in battle, and more than 400 were seriously injured, I don't know how many of them will be able to re-enter the battlefield, is this battle really worth it?"

Zhou An complained.

"Nonsense, of course it's worth it, our casualties are not small, the casualties of their Manchurian elite cavalry are not smaller than ours, after this battle, the soldiers of our Nanjing Right Town, even if they face a strong opponent, their waists will be straight, otherwise, do you think Nanjing Right Town can really be compared with the Tianwei Army? It's not even close! ”

Qin Mufeng said angrily.

"It's distressing, I'm distressed, this is the elite power that we have worked so hard to pull up, and we have lost so much ...... all at once"

Zhou An is about to cry, but it costs a huge price to build a cavalry, the cavalry is naturally the best of the best, as well as armor, war horses, weapons and special horse materials, the cost of a cavalry can top the cost of four infantry, nearly a thousand people fell in a war, who is not distressed?

"That's all you want, what are you afraid of? How much we consume, just add as much as we go back, I don't believe it, their Manchurian elite cavalry consumes thousands of people, and they can quickly replenish it! Let's just consume, and we have to talk about the exhaustion of Manchuria's elite cavalry, and when the time comes, there will be only one light pole commander left in Dorgon, and see what else he can do! ”

Qin Mufeng said viciously, he was also distressed, every cavalry in the right town of Nanjing was an elite selected by him one by one, and he lost so much in one breath, can he not feel distressed?

This is the difference between Qin Mufeng and Xu Yifan, Xu Yifan has always been calculating first, thoughtful, not fighting uncertain battles, not fighting dangerous battles, but Qin Mufeng is different, as long as he has three points of certainty, he dares to attack blatantly, fight first and then speak, so the first town of Tianwei Army is the army of the Son of Heaven, and his bearing is graceful; The second town of Tianwei Army is the tiger and wolf, full of fierce spirit, under the first battle, the right town of Nanjing suffered a lot of casualties, but it also quickly laid the foundation of the male division, in the future, this more than 1,000 cavalry, is the backbone of the right town of Nanjing, will also drive the recruits under them to become a hungry wolf!

The casualties in the right town of Nanjing are not small, and the casualties of the Manchurian elite cavalry are also not small, plus the losses of the previous river crossing, the casualties of the Manchurian elite cavalry have been as high as more than 1,500 people, accounting for nearly one-third of the strength of the Manchurian elite cavalry, Tan Tai is going to cry, once Prince Yu learns of such a result, I am afraid that he will pick his own skin!

"Damn, why, why haven't Zak's other infantry rushed up until now? Grinding, pigs are faster than them! ”

Tan Tai roared.

As soon as the words fell, a cavalryman rushed to Tan Tai's approach from far and near, and shouted urgently: "My lord, my lord! Our infantry has encountered a strong enemy behind us, General Zakbe, please hurry back! ”
